Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

Mu Feng stood in the center of the battlefield, his aura calm and composed. The mysterious presence emanating from him made everyone present hesitant to make a move. Hua Qiangu sized up Mu Feng, filled with doubt about his appearance. However, given the critical situation at Changliu Mountain, perhaps this person could truly bring about a turning point.

"Mu Feng, you said you would help us resolve the crisis, but what exactly do you plan to do?" Hua Qiangu asked.

Mu Feng smiled and looked at Hua Qiangu, "Changliu Mountain protects the righteous path and should not be easily destroyed by the forces of darkness. I am willing to help you defeat these enemies." After speaking, he gently raised his hand, and a gentle yet powerful force surged from his palm, forming a barrier that temporarily separated the disciples of Changliu Mountain from the followers of the Shadow Cult.

Seeing this, the Shadow Cult leader's face grew even uglier. "Hmph, playing tricks! Break through this barrier and continue the attack!" The Shadow Cult members, upon receiving the order, unleashed their spells, attacking the barrier. In an instant, various dark spells rained down on the barrier, creating a series of booming sounds.

However, Mu Feng's barrier was as solid as a rock, and no matter how the Shadow Cult members attacked, they could not budge it in the slightest. Mu Feng remained calm and looked at the Shadow Cult leader, saying, "If you remain obstinate and continue this pointless war, it will only result in heavy casualties for your followers."

The leader of the Shadow Cult glared angrily, "Enough nonsense! Today I am determined to take Changliu Mountain. Do you think this barrier can stop us?"

Mu Feng remained unperturbed. He gently waved his jade flute, and a beam of five-colored light shot out from it, merging into the barrier. The barrier instantly shone brightly, rebounding a powerful force that forced the Shadow Cult members to retreat.

"What...what kind of power is this?" the black-robed elder exclaimed in horror.

The Shadow Cult leader was also shocked, but he remained defiant, saying, "Don't panic, everyone! Let's attack together and break through this barrier!"

Just as the Shadow Cult members were preparing to attack again, Mu Feng suddenly began to play his jade flute. The melodious flute music rang out once more, this time containing powerful energy. As the music spread, the space around the battlefield seemed to distort, and the Shadow Cult members felt their spiritual power greatly suppressed, their movements becoming sluggish.

"Something's wrong with this flute music!" the Blood Demon Lord shouted. He tried to swing his giant axe to attack, but found that his strength seemed to be drained away, making his movements extremely difficult.

The disciples of Changliu Mountain felt refreshed and their spiritual energy was restored to some extent under the influence of the flute music. "This flute music seems to be helping us!" one disciple exclaimed in surprise.

Hua Qiangu looked at Mu Feng, her heart filled with gratitude. "It seems you truly possess extraordinary abilities. Thank you for your help."

Mu Feng smiled and nodded, "Let's deal with the immediate crisis first." After saying that, he increased the intensity of his playing, and the flute music became even more passionate.

The Shadow Cult leader realized the situation was dire; he knew that if things continued this way, his army would be annihilated. "Retreat! We must retreat first!" The Shadow Cult leader reluctantly issued the retreat order.

The Shadow Cult members, relieved, turned and fled. The disciples of Changliu Mountain, seeing this, wanted to give chase, but Mu Feng stopped them. "Don't pursue a desperate enemy. They've already learned their lesson; this crisis is temporarily averted."

Hua Qiangu heeded Mu Feng's advice and ordered her disciples to cease their pursuit. "Thank you for your help today. Without you, Changliu Mountain would likely have been unable to overcome this crisis."

Mu Feng put down the jade flute. "No need to be so polite. This is what I should do. As an important force of the righteous path, Changliu Mountain protects the peace and tranquility of the world. I cannot sit idly by and watch it be destroyed by the forces of darkness."

Bai Zihua stepped forward and bowed to Mu Feng with clasped hands. "Your strength is formidable, and you possess a strong sense of righteousness. What are your plans for the future? Would you be willing to stay at Changliu Mountain and join us in protecting the righteous path?"

Mu Feng shook his head slightly, "I am used to cultivating in seclusion, and this was just a coincidence. However, if Changliu Mountain is ever in danger again, I will do my best to help."

“In that case, we won’t insist you stay. How can we contact you if needed?” Hua Qiangu asked.

Mu Feng pondered for a moment, then took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Hua Qiangu. "This jade pendant has a special sensing ability. If Changliu Mountain encounters an insurmountable crisis, you can inject spiritual power into it, and I will be able to sense it."

Hua Qiangu accepted the jade pendant and carefully put it away. "Thank you. We will definitely keep it safe."

Mu Feng glanced at Lin Yu again, who was now lying on the ground, his face filled with fear. "This man betrayed his sect, a crime that cannot be forgiven, but considering that he may have his reasons, you may decide what to do with him."

Hua Qiangu looked at Lin Yu, her eyes filled with disappointment and anger. "Lin Yu, you have betrayed Changliu Mountain's trust in you and committed such a treacherous act. I will spare your life for now, but you must leave Changliu Mountain and never come back."

Lin Yu felt as if he had been granted a pardon and hurriedly kowtowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you for sparing my life, Elder. I will leave now and never return." After saying this, he slunk away from Changliu Mountain.

Although Changliu Mountain suffered heavy losses in this battle, the crisis was temporarily averted. With Mu Feng's help, the people of Changliu Mountain repelled the attack of the Shadow Cult.

"What happened today has served as a wake-up call for us. We must strengthen the defenses of Changliu Mountain and improve the strength of our disciples. We must never let this happen again," Bai Zihua said.

"Yes, Master!" the disciples of Changliu Mountain replied in unison.

Looking at the determined eyes of the crowd, Mu Feng nodded slightly. "I hope Changliu Mountain will always uphold the righteous path and protect world peace. I should take my leave now." With that, he vanished from everyone's sight in a flash.

The people of Changliu Mountain gazed in the direction where Mu Feng had disappeared, their hearts filled with emotion. Having experienced this crisis, they understood even more deeply the weight of their responsibility to protect Changliu Mountain, and their resolve to increase their strength and resist the darkness was further strengthened…
