Just as Qing Feng cursed and his mentality exploded, Yin Luo Old Devil stood up from the ruins of the wooden house and looked up at the graceful figure that had attacked him in the air.
"Zi Yun! You're going too far!"
The Yin Luo Fan waved, emitting rolling black smoke. Qing Feng, who was not far away, subconsciously said when he saw this scene:
"Fellow Daoist, why is your Human Emperor Banner emitting black smoke?"
"Where did this idiot come from? This is my Yin Luo Fan! I am a dignified evil cultivator!"
Yin Luo Old Devil spoke with such righteous indignation that it stumped Qing Feng.
This was the first time he had ever encountered such an open and honest evil cultivator.
At this moment, Zi Yun, standing in the air, was greatly startled, not expecting a Disciple from her sect to be living in such a remote place.
"Kid below, hurry and leave. This is not a battle a low-level cultivator like you can participate in right now."
"Eh! That's wrong. How can I walk away from such an evil cultivator fighting here? I should run."
After Qing Feng finished speaking, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and suddenly disappeared.
"Divine Lightning! This is Divine Lightning! Your Beast Taming Sect actually has a cultivator who can control Divine Lightning!"
Yin Luo Old Devil's pupils contracted. This Divine Lightning was the most potent and pure yang object in the cultivation world, the natural enemy of their evil cultivators. Fortunately, this kid's cultivation was not high; if he were at the same level, he wouldn't even dare to look at it.
His mind raced. Such a natural enemy of the evil path must not be allowed to grow, otherwise their evil path would surely face great disaster in the future!
Understanding these things, Yin Luo Old Devil did not hesitate and directly transformed into a black ghostly aura, chasing after the fleeing Qing Feng.
Zi Yun was greatly alarmed by this and quickly gave chase, while also inwardly cursing the sect's deacons for being blind, failing to discover such a genius cultivator with Divine Lightning, and allowing him to wander in such a spiritually barren place within the sect.
She must protect this child today, even if it cost her life!
Lightning flashed, ghostly aura pursued relentlessly, and behind them was purple light. Three streams of light chased each other, and no one would have imagined that the one far ahead of two Spirit Emperor cultivators was actually a Spirit Master realm cultivator.
Separated by two major realms, Spirit General and Spirit King, yet able to match them in speed, it showed just how much Qing Feng feared death.
"Damn it! These two bitches are still chasing me! Two Spirit Emperors chasing me, a Spirit Master cultivator, are they sick?!"
Qing Feng couldn't help but curse, and just then, a sudden abnormal sound came from behind him. Yin Luo Old Devil actually took advantage of Zi Yun's unpreparedness, suddenly turned around, and launched a sneak attack.
Bang!
Black mist and purple light clashed, emitting a loud sound. Qing Feng seized the opportunity and fled for his life.
"Zi Yun! Are you crazy?! Using such a secret art to forcibly raise your cultivation will ruin your future cultivation path! Your lifespan will even be greatly reduced, and you might not live past a hundred years! Why must you do this?!"
Yin Luo Old Devil was greatly alarmed after sensing Zi Yun's aura change, but Zi Yun merely snorted coldly, saying nothing and only continuously casting spells.
The great battle in the air officially began, while Qing Feng had successfully escaped and found a secluded cave to hide in.
"Should be safe now."
Qing Feng breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that the two Spirit Emperor cultivators had not followed him. Then, he opened his system to check for new missions.
"New Mission: As a lazy bird, you crave delicious delicacies, but only the dishes you make yourself truly satisfy your palate."
"Mission Content: Create a dish that everyone can swallow."
"Mission Reward: Top-tier culinary skills."
"What's the point of this?!"
Qing Feng couldn't help but curse when he saw the system's new mission. Previous mission rewards were at least related to cultivation.
But this mission, what's the use of telling your dad about it?!
"Detected that the host's emotional fluctuations seem to be very dissatisfied with this mission. This system is reasonable and can exchange for one mission."
"Yosh, it seems the system still wants to be human."
"New Mission: Create a dish that others can swallow."
"Mission Reward: Max-level culinary skills, top-tier alchemy cauldron, Nine Yang Heavenly Flame."
"System, are you a dog? What do you mean by giving me alchemy tools but no alchemy skills? Are you telling me to use the alchemy cauldron and heavenly flame to stir-fry dishes?"
Qing Feng's eyes were filled with confusion. He didn't know why, but he always felt like the system was playing him for a fool.
However, the system was heaven, what could he do? Since the system had already issued the mission, he should complete it properly.
But...
How should he find someone who could eat his dishes?
Recalling his cooking skills in his previous life...
Qing Feng stroked his chin. What kind of person, what kind of perseverance, would it take to eat his dishes? Such a person would be hard to find.
Just as Qing Feng was troubled by the mission and didn't know what to do, Zi Yun, who had forcibly raised her cultivation to the half-step Spirit Venerable realm using a secret technique, had also dealt with Yin Luo Old Devil.
Her cultivation rapidly regressed, even falling below her previous state, leaving her only with late-stage Spirit General cultivation. Her strength was truly less than one percent of what it was.
"Cough cough cough!"
Blood spurted from her mouth. Zi Yun could feel that her body was in a very bad state. In the future, not to mention whether she could break through to the mid-stage Spirit Emperor, it might even be difficult to recover to Spirit Emperor cultivation.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh. Now, she could only hope that the boy she had saved with all her might was worth her sacrifice.
Following the direction of the aura she had noted earlier, Zi Yun transformed into a stream of light and disappeared. Not long after, she saw Qing Feng hiding in the cave, looking troubled.
Zi Yun was clad in a green gauze dress, her face pale, her beautiful features now showing a hint of weak fatigue.
"What is your name?"
"My name is Chu Feng, my Daoist name is Qing Feng, a registered Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect."
Qing Feng answered casually. Zi Yun nodded lightly upon hearing this and was about to say something more when suddenly she felt a discomfort in her chest, and blood rushed up.
The next moment, blood spurted from her mouth, and her body fell heavily to the ground, her life unknown.
"Holy crap! Playing dead?!"
Qing Feng was greatly alarmed and instinctively wanted to escape, but then he suddenly realized that the situation seemed off.
Upon closer inspection of her aura, he clearly discovered that she was seriously injured and had fainted, and was not trying to trick him.
He recalled the great battle just now. If it weren't for Zi Yun's desperate assistance, he might have already become a part of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
