The disciple of the Immortal Armament Villa had left, but he had no intention of simply leaving Li Xiang to his fate.
That was why, even though he had departed, he had left markings along the way — so that after he found reinforcements, he could return to rescue Li Xiang.
However, the disciple of the Immortal Armament Villa had already traveled a great distance, and he couldn't see a single person anywhere. He was growing anxious.
After all, judging from Yuwen Tingyi's demeanor, he intended to kill Li Xiang. If he returned too late, even if he found someone capable of rescuing Li Xiang, it would likely be useless.
Yet, just as this disciple of the Immortal Armament Villa was growing desperate with worry, a gleam of delight suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He had spotted a large group of people approaching, and the one leading them was none other than Chu Feng.
If there was anyone he most wanted to encounter right now, it was undoubtedly Chu Feng.
After all, anyone else might not bother with Li Xiang's affairs, but he felt that Chu Feng most likely would.
"Chu Feng — Brother Chu Feng! Something terrible has happened — something terrible!"
In an instant, the disciple of the Immortal Armament Villa began shouting at the top of his lungs.
In truth, Chu Feng had already noticed this disciple of the Immortal Armament Villa. Chu Feng had deliberately walked toward him, thinking that if there was a chance to enter the Burial Spirit Pool, he would bring along the people from the Immortal Armament Villa and the Holy Dust Villa.
So along the way, whenever he encountered anyone from the Immortal Armament Villa, even if they didn't ask to follow him, Chu Feng would extend an invitation on his own.
But now, seeing how tense and panicked this disciple appeared, Chu Feng's gaze shifted — he sensed that something must have happened.
So Chu Feng moved, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived right in front of the man.
"What happened?" Chu Feng asked.
"Li Xiang — Li Xiang — it's Li Xiang! Li Xiang has been captured by Yuwen Tingyi! Yuwen Tingyi is going to kill him!" the man from the Immortal Armament Villa blurted out.
"What? You saw Yuwen Tingyi and Li Xiang?"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Holy Dust Villa immediately panicked.
Truthfully, hearing this news sent a jolt through Chu Feng's heart as well, because this was the one thing he had hoped would not happen.
"Where? Where did you see them?" Chu Feng asked. He was nearly certain that what this disciple of the Immortal Armament Villa was saying was true.
Because not only did Chu Feng notice that the man didn't seem to be lying, but from his reaction, Chu Feng could deduce that he had witnessed everything firsthand — he hadn't merely heard about it from someone else.
"I'll lead the way right now — let me lead the way."
The disciple of the Immortal Armament Villa didn't hesitate. He turned around and began leading Chu Feng.
Chu Feng's perception was, after all, quite sharp, so after walking only a short distance, he picked up on the markings the man had left along the way. There was no need for the man to guide him — Chu Feng surged forward on his own at full speed.
Because he was so worried about Li Xiang, Chu Feng unleashed his full power without reservation. Once the aura of a Third Grade True Immortal erupted from his body, the lightning mark also surfaced on his forehead. Chu Feng's cultivation quickly rose from Third Grade True Immortal to Fourth Grade True Immortal.
Under these circumstances, Chu Feng's speed of movement increased dramatically.
"Brother Chu Feng — isn't he a Second Grade True Immortal? When did he break through to Third Grade True Immortal?"
After Chu Feng unleashed his full strength, the crowd following behind him stared in astonishment.
They all knew clearly that Chu Feng's cultivation was at the Second Grade True Immortal realm, and when they had observed him earlier, the aura he radiated had been that of a Second Grade True Immortal.
How had his cultivation jumped to the Third Grade True Immortal realm in such a short span of time?
Chu Feng had only just broken through to the Second Grade True Immortal realm back at the Immortal Armament Villa, and not much time had passed since then. It shouldn't have been possible for him to achieve another breakthrough so quickly.
For a moment, the crowd was caught between shock and admiration. After some analysis, some speculated that Chu Feng had been hiding his true cultivation from the very beginning.
Because if Chu Feng had truly broken through to the Second Grade True Immortal realm at the Immortal Armament Villa and then, not long after, broken through again to the Third Grade True Immortal realm, that rate of growth would be far too astonishing.
After all, only two months had passed since the hunting competition at the Immortal Armament Villa.
So between the two possibilities — that Chu Feng had been hiding his cultivation versus that he had broken through again within two months — most people were more willing to believe the former.
