The leader of the cultivation alliance has a crush on me.

The next day, fearing that Rong Ling would really be dealt with, Song Ke was planning how to rescue her. Just as she was about to speak to Feng Xun, she saw Feng Xun frowning with a grim expression, looking as if he was in great pain, which startled Song Ke.

She rushed over to help Feng Xun up, her face filled with anxiety, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Feng Xun seemed to be enduring it with all his might. He clenched his fists tightly on the ground, his face contorted with pain, but he clenched his teeth and refused to utter a sound.

Song Ke noticed he was trembling all over and became even more worried: "What's wrong with you? Don't scare me. How can I help you?"

"Feng Xun, Feng Xun, can you hear me?"

"Are you in a lot of pain? What happened to you?"

After a long pause, Feng Xun finally managed to utter a breathless sentence through his teeth: "Benyuan, someone is forcibly breaking into the Purification Tower."

Song Ke was stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized that this place was familiar. She tried to find information about the Purification Tower in her mind, but it was still hazy, as if there was always a thin veil covering it, making it impossible to see clearly.

"Where is this place?" Song Ke asked.

Feng Xun didn't say much at this moment. Instead, he struggled and suppressed his pain for a while before gradually calming down. Song Ke looked at him without taking her eyes off him. She saw that he was pale and looked tired. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief when he opened his eyes and looked over, Feng Xun suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Feng Xun, what's wrong with you? You're spitting blood." Song Ke hurriedly helped Feng Xun up, anxiously wiping the blood from his mouth with her sleeve.

Feng Xun had been injured and lost his love essence. Before, he was fine because he had spiritual medicine to nourish him every day. But these past two days, he has been holed up in this cave with nothing.

Song Ke looked anxious, but Feng Xun, who had coughed up blood, seemed to have recovered. He slightly raised his eyelids, looked at Song Ke with indifferent eyes, and said stiffly, "It's okay, don't worry."

Hearing Feng Xun speak, Song Ke felt slightly relieved. She looked intently at Feng Xun, her eyes full of concern: "How are you feeling now?"

Feng Xun checked his own internal condition and said, "It's alright."

Song Ke asked, "What is this 'Purification Tower' you just mentioned?"

Feng Xun listened, paused for a moment, and blinked blankly, "The Tower of Purification?"

"I don't know. I just felt like my very essence was hit by a powerful blow, which is why I feel so bad."

"By the way, what about that Rong Ling you mentioned? We absolutely must save her?" Feng Xun asked casually.

Song Ke: "???"

"Is he your apprentice?" Song Ke reminded him.

After listening, Feng Xun was silent for two seconds, then gave a faint "Oh," and said, "I'm not very familiar with him."

Song Ke found it strange. It shouldn't be like this. He was injured. Song Yansong and his wife, along with many other people from various factions, had temporarily gathered at Xuanshang Palace to guard him. One reason was that they were worried about Feng Xun's injury, and the other was that they were afraid that Luoyou Alliance would take advantage of the situation.

Although they have now been taken advantage of, the Cultivation Alliance without Feng Xun is indeed vulnerable.

But he was Feng Xun's apprentice, so he should have visited him quite a few times.

He's not familiar with him yet?

"Has he not visited you during this time?" Song Ke asked with some suspicion.

Feng Xun listened intently, recalling the events for a few seconds. Then, as if remembering something, he nodded and said, "I remember now."

“But he cried a lot and was too noisy, so I told him to stay away from me, and I haven’t seen him since.”

Song Ke: "..."

"That's it."

After saying that, seeing that his complexion had improved considerably, she asked, "Do you know what just happened?"

Feng Xun shook his head: "I don't know, but I have a feeling that the place is not far from me."

A shattering sound rang out in the large area. Qi Feng angrily pointed at Chi Wen and cursed, "We've found the place, but as you can see now, the barrier of that Purification Tower has only a trace of Feng Xun's essence inside. It can't be shaken at all."

At this point, his face was full of anger: "It seems that the method you suggested is useless. Go and investigate again. With the wealth of the Xuan Shang Gong family, I don't believe we can't find a way to break it."

Chi Wen knelt respectfully below, then looked up in fear and said, "Alliance Leader, the Purification Tower formation is called the Myriad Tribulations Tribulation Formation. It is said that it will grow stronger as the cultivation level of the person who sets it up undergoes tribulations. Logically speaking, since Feng Xun has been seriously injured by the Alliance Leader, the power of that formation should have been weakened."

Upon hearing this, Qi Feng glared angrily at Chi and asked, "So what's going on now?"

"Are you still trying to say that Feng Xun wasn't injured at all, and perhaps he really was preparing for the tribulation of becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"Chiwen, I don't care what method you use. Those people from the Cultivation Alliance have already hidden in Yuxiao Mountain, so let them hide. Go and find me a place filled with sorrow and hatred. Anyway, Feng Xun's whereabouts are unknown, so let's have a competition to see who goes into seclusion to undergo tribulation first."

He had barely finished speaking when Tian Shu, who had just entered from outside, bowed respectfully to Qi Feng and said, "Greetings, Alliance Leader."

Qi Feng looked at Tian Shu, his tone noticeably softening. He asked, "I heard you often go to see Feng Xun's little apprentice?"

Tian Shu smiled seductively and said, "Reporting to the Alliance Leader, I did this to force him to reveal Feng Xun's whereabouts. Besides, I do know a place that the Alliance Leader just mentioned."

“A hundred years ago, didn’t the Alliance Leader send out a group of demons to hunt for food? The place they went to was quite suitable.”

Qi Feng knew that the demons Tian Shu mentioned were the ones currently suppressed in the Purification Tower. If he had devoured those demons back then, he might have already broken through to a higher realm.

But Qi Feng couldn't quite remember where they were foraging.

Tian Shu reminded him: "Xi Qiong Kingdom, Alliance Leader."

"It is Rong Ling's original homeland."

When Song Ke and Feng Xun came out, they found that Qi Feng was no longer at Xuanshang Palace. When they went to Rong Ling's residence, they found that he was also gone.

Song Ke looked puzzled, and Feng Xun glanced inside and said, "No one's here."

Song Ke nodded: "I saw it, but when I came here a couple of days ago, I clearly saw Rong Ling here."

After saying that, he asked Feng Xun, "Where else in your Xuanshang Palace is suitable for imprisoning people?"

Feng Xun shook his head: "I don't know."

Song Ke realized that Feng Xun's memory was sometimes good and sometimes bad, which was truly worrying.

Suddenly, Feng Xun pulled Song Ke aside and hid. Just as they hid, Song Ke saw several demons from the Luo You Alliance coming over.

Song Ke glanced at Feng Xun and whispered, "You forgot they can't see me?"

Feng Xun was taken aback, then said stiffly, "I forgot, but it's still better to be careful."

Song Ke didn't say much. She heard a few people approaching say, "I was on duty outside the Alliance Leader's bedroom a few days ago, and it scared me to death."

"what happened?"
