Zhang Ruochen shook his head. Even if he had a strong spiritual power, he could only sense some dangerous aura at most and couldn't confirm that his senses were absolutely correct.

  Huang Yanchen entered the Mountain God Temple and continued his cultivation.

  Xiao Hei set up a bonfire and was roasting a wild beast he had hunted from somewhere, emitting waves of savory meat aroma.

  The night grew darker and a cold gust of wind blew from the mountains, making the flames in the fire pit burn brighter.

  The wind blew more and more urgent, making a whistling sound. Before I knew it, snowflakes began to fall, getting bigger and bigger, finally becoming large goose feather-like snowflakes.

  Half an hour passed, the entire mountain was completely covered with wind and snow, silver-clad and white-wrapped, cold air was dense, and in the wind, it seemed like a giant beast was roaring, the sound was extremely mournful.

  "The Snowflake Brocade was left at Hidden Mist Lake, I had to leave in a hurry and didn't have time to bring it with me." Zhang Ruochen said, sitting by the fire pit, seemingly talking to himself.

  Xiao Hei's two paws were holding a huge piece of roasted meat, eating while saying: "Snowflake Sculpture is after all a third-tier fierce beast, already possessing some intelligence, since we can't wait for you, it's likely to have flown back to the Wushang Academy."

  Huang Yanchen stopped cultivating, opened a pair of beautiful sapphire-like eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly as she stared at the little black cat eating away: "A cat can actually understand so many things, are you a spiritual breed among beasts?"

  The small black bead's pair of gleaming eyes narrowed slightly, saying: "What is a Spirit Seed? The true master is the Emperor who has slaughtered heaven and earth, I don't know how many Spirit Seeds he has devoured."

  Huang Yanchen looked at Xiao Hei's appearance and couldn't help but find it comical, he didn't believe a word he said, saying: "Xiao Hei, that's the meat you roasted"

  "That's natural." Xiao Hei puffed out his chest, very proudly saying: "The meat of the Green Fire Deer isn't bad, want to have a piece?"

  "Then let's have a taste," said Huang Yanchen.

  "Whoosh"

  Huang Yanchen's fingers moved slightly, and the jade-white Snow Dragon Sword flew out of its scabbard, cutting off a two-tael piece of cooked meat that fell into her jade-like hand.

  Huang Yanchen's sword was confiscated by the Poisonous Spider Merchant Guild, so Zhang Ruochen lent her the Snow Dragon Sword to use.

  Have to say, Xiao Hei's roasted meat is indeed a must-try, the flavor is incredibly fragrant, even Huang Yanchen, who never eats greasy food, savored every bite.

  Of course, Huang Yanchen's eating posture is much more elegant than Xiao Hei's. Two slender jade fingers, just lightly pinched a strand of meat, put it into the crystal-like mouth, chewed slowly and swallowed, without making any sound.

  Suddenly, Xiao Hei's two ears moved slightly, looking out the door and said: "Zhang Ruochen, you won't be a reincarnation of a crow, will you?"

  Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen also naturally heard the footsteps coming from outside, the sound was very light and delicate, and with the influence of the wind and snow, if Zhang Ruochen hadn't been on guard beforehand, it would have been almost impossible to discover that person.

  The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and had already entered the mountain temple.

  A young man in his early twenties, wearing a green robe, walked in from outside, brushed off the snowflakes on his body, and looked at the two people and the cat inside with a hint of surprise. He said: "One night of wind and snow, nowhere to rest, I thought of taking shelter in the Mountain God Temple to avoid the cold wind, but I didn't expect that you two were already here. I am Shen Feng, a disciple of the YunTai Sect, I don't know if I have disturbed you."

  Huang Yanzhen was originally very cautious, but when he heard that the other party was a disciple of the Cloud Platform Sect, he relaxed his guard and put down the Snow Dragon Sword in his hand. "Shen Feng, I've heard your name," he said. "You're the ninth-ranked expert of the Cloud Platform Sect, with cultivation already at the Great Perfection of the Earth Extreme Realm. It's said that you once fought against a legendary martial artist of the Heavenly Extreme Realm and held out for three moves, although in the end you were still severely injured and defeated. However, it was enough to make you famous overnight."

  Shen Feng was quite elegant, staring at Huang Yanchen with a joyful expression in his eyes. "Miss actually knows me, it's truly an honor for me. Miss looks like a celestial being, as if a goddess has descended to the mortal world. I didn't expect that I, Shen Feng, would be able to meet such a beauty in this mountain temple, could this be fate?"

  If it were at any other time, anyone who dared to say such frivolous words to Huang Yanchen would have their tongue cut out by him.

  At this moment, Huang Yanchen was quite pleased with himself, his eyes slightly looking at Zhang Ruochen, seeing that Zhang Ruochen was still talking to Xiao Hei about something, and didn't take Shen Feng's words to heart.

  Her heart couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed, and she said: "Chen Shidi, didn't you see that Shen Gongzi has arrived? Shen Gongzi is the top master of the Cloud Platform Sect, his martial arts cultivation is many times stronger than yours, can't you even pay your respects?"

  Zhang Ruochen gently patted Xiao Hei's head, as if he had finished what he wanted to say. Then he stood up and bowed slightly to Shen Feng, saying: "Nice to meet you, Brother Shen. Now that the Cloud Platform Sect and the Wuxue Academy are joining forces against the Black Market and the Baiyue Demon Cult, we can be considered fellow disciples of the same sect. Please, don't be polite, take a seat."

  "So it turns out you two are students of Wushi Academy."

  Shen Feng smiled and walked directly towards Huang Yanchen, bowed slightly to him with a smile, and then sat down beside him.

  He glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said, "Chen Shidi is an inner palace student of the Wumeng Xuegong"

  Zhang Ruochen nodded: "That's right."

  Shen Feng's eyes turned, saying: "I see that Brother Chen is probably under twenty years old. At such a young age, he can become an inner disciple of the Wushang Academy, which is really not simple. But I am very curious, why does Brother Chen want to wear a mask?"

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and didn't respond to Shen Feng's words, instead asking: "Brother Shen, since you're a powerful cultivator at the Earth Extreme Realm's Great Perfection stage, why don't you even have a single mount?"

  Shen Feng said: "There is indeed a mount, but this time I came to Yunwu County to deal with the evil people of Heishi and Baiyue Demon Sect, so when I left the sect, I didn't bring my mount out."

  "As far as I know, within a radius of three hundred miles, there is no town, it belongs to the desolate land within the borders of Yunwu Prefecture, and there should be no black market and Baiyue Demon Sect's evil people. How could Shen brother chase him here?" Zhang Ruochen asked without leaving any trace.

  Shen Feng smiled and said: "I'm also here in Yunwu County for the first time, and I didn't know that there were no towns within a radius of 300 miles. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up at this mountain temple."

  Huang Yanchen felt the atmosphere was off and glared at Zhang Ruochen, saying: "Junior Brother Chen, Shen Gongzi is a young expert from the Cloud Platform Sect. Why ask so many questions? Don't you think that Shen Gongzi is an evil martial artist from the black market?"

  "I reckon Brother Chen has some misunderstanding about me, looks like I have to prove my identity."

  Shen Feng immediately took out a token and handed it over to Huang Yanchen.

  The front of the token was engraved with the four characters "Cloud Platform Sect Mansion", and the back was engraved with the two characters "Shen Feng". It was a waist token that only inner disciples of Cloud Platform Sect Mansion had.

  Huang Yanchen confirmed that the waist card was not fake and then gave it to Shen Feng.

  "I was just casually asking."

  Huang Yanchen's apricot-like eyes stared at Zhang Ruochen again, saying: "Junior Brother Chen, your suspicions are too heavy. With Shen Gongzi's martial arts cultivation, if he wanted to deal with us, it would be an easy task, why bother using so many tricks?"

  "Thank you, miss, for believing Shen Mou."

  Shen Feng smiled and said: "Not yet, may I ask for your name, miss?"

  Huang Yanzhen was about to say his own name when Zhang Ruochen suddenly stood up, gazing out towards the outside of the Mountain God Temple, saying: "He's here."

  "Who's there?" Huang Yanchen asked.

  Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes, poured his true energy into the ear meridian, and counted in his mouth: "Thirty miles away, there are at least two hundred people. The aura on their bodies is the evil Taoist warrior of the Poison Spider Merchant Association. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Hua Qing Shan who has caught up."

  Zhang Ruochen stared at Xiao Hei for a moment, gave it a meaningful glance, and then walked out.

  Shen Feng saw Zhang Ruochen walking away, a hint of ridicule flashing in his eyes. He glanced at Huang Yanchen and asked, "How did the people from Du Zhuang Shanghui end up chasing him here?"

  Huang Yanchen was not on guard against Shen Feng, his face solemn, and he did not notice that a silver needle had appeared between Shen Feng's fingers. "They should be here to catch me."

  "As it happens, I'm here to catch you too."

  Shen Feng's face revealed a strange smile, his arm suddenly stretched forward, the silver needle between his fingers, like a flash of silver light, pierced directly into Huang Yanchen's brow, attempting to seal off his aura.

  Huang Yanchen's face changed drastically, she had never thought that Shen Feng would make a move on her.

  At this time, even if you want to dodge, it's already too late.

  Just as he was about to succeed, Shen Feng's smile grew even thicker.

  Just then, a cat meowed in his ear and a black light flashed by.

  Xiao Hei's claws were sharper than a knife blade, and with one swipe in the air, three deep gashes appeared on Shen Feng's arm, directly cutting off his arm's tendons.

  If Shen Feng hadn't withdrawn his hand quickly, his arm would have been gone.

  you

  Shen Feng stared at the black cat, his heart filled with fear. No matter what, he was a powerful being who had reached the extreme realm of Da Yuan Man, and even if he were caught off guard, it was impossible for him to be injured by a mere cat.

  Xiao Hei licked the fresh blood on his paw and said, "Don't look at me with that kind of gaze. As a ruthless emperor who has slaughtered countless people, I couldn't even kill you with one strike, it makes me feel quite defeated."

  "What exactly are you"

  Huang Yanchen immediately retreated, drew out Xue Long Sword, and assumed a defensive posture, staring coldly at Shen Feng.

  Shen Feng withdrew his right hand and regained his calm composure.

  He believed that with his own skills, even if he used only one hand, he could still handle Huang Yanzhen.

  As for that cat, it can only hurt him in a sneak attack.

  Shen Feng smiled and said, "It's no harm telling you, I am indeed a disciple of the Yun Tai Zong Fu, Shen Feng. Of course, that is only my surface identity, in the Du Zhu Shang Hui, my identity is that of the younger martial brother of the Young Master of the Poisonous Spider."

  Huang Yanchen was extremely angry, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and said: "How did you find our trail?"

  Shen Feng stared at Huang Yanchen with a look of contempt, smiling and saying: "Your Highness, you think only the Poisonous Spider Merchant Guild needs to deal with you?"

  "There is someone even more ruthless than the Young Master of Poison Spider, who is already on his way. If you fall into the hands of the Young Master of Poison Spider, at least you will still be alive. But if you fall into his hands, it's a dead end. If you are smart, you should surrender now and avoid me taking action personally."
