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

Even though Feng Xun was injured and his cultivation was not as good as before, he still dealt with a living demon with ease. Song Ke watched as Feng Xun, as if showing off his skills, made a few cool moves without even drawing his sword, and beat the living demon into a miserable howl before it exploded with a "bang".

As the black fog dissipated, the people who were digging graves immediately stopped, remaining motionless for several seconds before fainting.

Song Ke walked up to Feng Xun and looked at him with admiration: "Wow, you're amazing! You're so talented!"

Feng Xun glanced at him indifferently, as if to say, "This is what you call impressive? It's just some low-class tricks."

"What about them?" Song Ke asked.

Feng Xun glanced at them but didn't look at them much longer. As he left, he said, "They're fine. They woke up and went back on their own."

Song Ke still couldn't understand, so she followed up and asked, "Were you like this before?"

Feng Xun asked, "How is it?"

Song Ke carefully considered her words, and after a long pause said, "So indifferent to the lives of others?"

Feng Xun stopped and looked at Song Ke with a scrutinizing gaze: "You're kind-hearted, why don't you go and help them move everything back?"

"Even if they're not doing anything here, we're supposed to keep an eye on them the whole time?"

"Didn't you say you were going to Yuxiao Mountain? Don't let anything else delay you. If you're late, Rong Ling might really be in trouble."

Song Ke glanced back at the eerie scene of countless bodies lying on the graveyard, then looked around. It seemed that the demon was unlikely to appear.

She hurried to catch up with Feng Xun.

Several days later, the two arrived at the foot of Yuxiao Mountain. Feng Xun looked up at the mountain with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Looking at the stone tablet with the words "Yuxiao Mountain" on it, Song Ke said, "We've arrived."

Song Ke glanced at it and felt that it wasn't as familiar as the Suspended Palace. She looked at the path leading up the mountain and said, "Let's go up first."

“On the way here, I saw that the people around here didn’t seem to be acting strangely. I think the Luoyou Alliance’s reach is not that far.”

Seeing that Feng Xun remained silent, Song Ke walked up to him, looked up at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Feng Xun pointed here: "Sect Leader Song has activated the mountain-protecting formation. If we go straight in, it will be easy to break through their defenses."

As Song Ke listened, she took a step forward and slowly reached out to test it. Sure enough, as soon as she touched it, she was struck by a layer of transparent electric light, and her palm immediately went numb. She quickly pulled her hand back.

If Song Ke still had her memories, she could probably go straight in, but she doesn't remember anything right now.

She looked at Feng Xun with a pleading expression, and Feng Xun simply said one word: "Wait."

Song Ke: "???"

Sure enough, they waited at the foot of the mountain for most of the day before they saw a person emerge from the formation. Song Ke looked at Feng Xun with a questioning gaze.

Feng Xun shook his head, indicating he didn't recognize him. The person who came out was taken aback when he saw Feng Xun, then looked delighted: "Alliance Leader, what are you doing here?"

Feng Xun looked at him indifferently, and only then did he remember Feng Xun's situation. He bowed to Feng Xun and then introduced himself, saying, "Alliance Leader, I am Qin Mu, the eldest disciple of Yuxiao Mountain."

Song Ke looked at him with curiosity. Qin Mu was also good-looking, and he seemed to exude a sense of righteousness.

He couldn't see Song Ke, so naturally he didn't know that Song Ke circled around him, looking him over.

Feng Xun remained silent, and Qin Mu continued, "Alliance Leader, it's wonderful that you've come. My master and the leaders of various sects were very worried about you. Now that we see you're alright, we can finally rest assured."

"Well then, you must have had a long journey. Let me take you to the mountain gate to meet everyone."

Feng Xun glanced at Song Ke, who quickly said, "Let's go, let's go upstairs, I'm starving."

During their journey over the past few days, they discovered that Feng Xun had no money, which meant they had no food. Feng Xun didn't seem to feel hungry, but when Song Ke was hungry, the two of them would pick some fruit along the mountain path or hunt some wild game. Their meals were far from good.

Seeing that Feng Xun didn't move, Qin Mu looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Alliance Leader, are you planning to go up?"

Feng Xun paused for a moment before nodding: "Let's go."

When Song Ke went up there, he found that the most common trees he saw, whether it was Xuanshang Palace or Yuxiao Mountain, were peach trees or various fruit trees.

Song Ke couldn't help but ask, "Are these peaches ordinary peaches?"

Feng Xun looked at her speechlessly, while Song Ke chuckled and said, "I was just asking. The fruits on the Immortal Mountain don't seem to be anything special."

Feng Xun walked behind, and while Qin Mu wasn't paying attention, he secretly picked two and hid them in his sleeve. When they arrived at the mountain gate square of Yuxiao Mountain, Song Ke saw the Yuxiao Sect disciples practicing their skills there. When they saw Qin Mu, they all greeted him warmly, "Senior Brother."

Upon seeing Feng Xun behind Qin Mu, they immediately became composed, greeting him with "Greetings, Alliance Leader."

Qin Mu led Feng Xun directly to the Yuezheng Hall, where several sect leaders were discussing how to deal with Qi Feng. Upon seeing Feng Xun arrive, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Meet the leader."

Song Yansong: "Alliance Leader, are you alright?"

Feng Xun was only somewhat familiar with Song Yansong and Chu Lan, so he nodded slightly.

Rong Xiu also came over with a happy expression: "Master, it's so good that you're alright. I was worried that you would be caught and punished by Qi Feng."

Feng Xun said calmly, "It's nothing."

A sect leader standing nearby was about to ask Feng Xun about his current cultivation level when Feng Xun spoke first.

"What food do you have here? Could you give me some?"

As soon as he said this, the entire hall fell silent. You see, when their cultivation reaches a certain level, they abstain from grains and rarely eat. Even when they do, they mostly consume spiritual springs and herbs. Eating grains would taint their bodies with impure energy, making it inconvenient for cultivation.

Rong Xiu was also surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. When Song Ke was still in Shangxuan Palace, even though Feng Xun had stopped eating, he often accompanied Song Ke to eat all kinds of things. It was only after Song Ke returned to Yuxiao Mountain that Feng Xun stopped eating.

As Feng Xun's disciple, Rong Xiu naturally took the initiative to serve him, saying, "Yes, Master, I'll go prepare."

Song Yansong looked at Feng Xun, unsure of his meaning, and asked, "Alliance Leader, you must need to rest after your long journey. How about I take you to your previous residence first, and we can discuss other matters after you have rested properly?"

Feng Xun listened without saying a word. He heard Song Ke say, "Tell them quickly that Qi Feng went to Xiqiong Kingdom and took Rong Ling with him."

Feng Xun obeyed as expected, and under Song Yansong's surprised gaze, he said, "Qi Feng is not in the Xuanshang Palace now; he has gone to the Western Qiong Kingdom for seclusion."

Song Yansong was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "The Western Kingdom, is that the Western Kingdom with piles of white bones and a ghostly aura?"

"That place is a treasure for Qi Feng, but I'm afraid it won't be a pleasant experience for him there."

"What do you mean?" a junior sect leader asked, puzzled.

He had heard of the Western Kingdom, but all he knew was that it was now a ghost town, devoid of life for miles around, and even cultivators dared not approach it.

Chu Lan said, "The Western Kingdom was devoured by the demons raised by the Luo You Alliance back then. So you think they would let Qi Feng go so easily when they smelled a familiar scent?"

"But you can just let this go once you've heard about it, but whatever you do, don't mention it in front of Rong Xiu," Song Yansong warned.

Another person, who seemed to know what was going on, said, "That's right. I remember hearing that Rong Xiu was the one the Alliance Leader brought back from the Western Kingdom back then."

"No wonder, the royal family of Xiqiong Kingdom used to have the surname Rong."
