Nine Yang Life and Death Transformation

As night deepens and all is quiet, the whole world seems to be immersed in a peaceful dream. People drift into sweet dreams, and even the bright moonlight seems to soften, gently sprinkling down on the earth.

In the quiet night, Wu Feilong gradually drifted off to sleep. He had an incredibly wonderful dream in which he returned to that familiar modern society. In this dream, he could play on his phone as he pleased, fully enjoying the convenience and fun brought by technology; all kinds of delicious food were on display, and he could taste whatever he wanted, the satisfaction of which intoxicated him.

Meanwhile, Long Jing also drifted off to sleep. In her dream, He Wei had not died, but had retired with her to the countryside. They lived a simple and happy life, rising with the first rays of sunlight each morning to work diligently in the fields; and returning home together as the sun set, sharing in the tranquility and peace.

And so, Wu Longfei slept soundly until dawn. He slept exceptionally well that night, rarely so deeply. He slowly opened his eyes, stretched lazily, and then got up and walked towards Sun Wang's room. As he walked, he called softly, "Brother, wake up!" However, there was no response from inside the room.

Wu Longfei was puzzled, but he still raised his voice and called out again, "Brother, get up!" However, there was still no response. At that moment, a sense of foreboding washed over him; he realized something was wrong. Without hesitation, he forced open the door and rushed inside. However, the scene before him shocked him—the bed where Sun Wang should have been lying was now empty.

Wu Longfei's heart leaped into his throat. He hurriedly turned and ran towards Li Ling's room. Pushing open the door, he found it empty as well. Without pausing, he dashed towards He Ying's room. However, the room was also empty. At this moment, Wu Longfei was frantic with worry; a fine layer of sweat had already formed on his forehead…

He rushed downstairs, his steps as fast as a whirlwind. Reaching the shopkeeper, he unceremoniously grabbed the shopkeeper's collar with a large hand, his large, bell-like eyes glaring, and demanded urgently, "Where are the people who came with me yesterday?"

The shopkeeper was startled by this sudden action and replied tremblingly, "Sir...they left at daybreak."

Upon hearing this news, the man was startled and quickly asked, "Where did they go?"

The innkeeper pointed tremblingly to the door and stammered, "They...they got into the carriage and went...along the main road towards the woods in the suburbs."

Although he didn't know why they had suddenly left, he figured there must be some unknown reason. Otherwise, given their past relationship with him, why would they leave without a word? Thinking of this, Wu Feilong frowned, filled with worry. But time was of the essence, and he couldn't afford to think any further. So he lightly touched the ground with his toes, instantly leaping into the air. Then, he formed a sword incantation, summoned his flying sword, and sped off towards the outskirts.

At this moment, two exquisitely decorated carriages were speeding along the road leading to the outskirts. The wheels rolled, kicking up clouds of dust. Inside the carriages, Li Ling, Sun Wang, Long Jing, and several others sat listlessly in their seats, their eyes vacant and lifeless, as if they had lost their souls, resembling puppets on strings.

Just then, a thin man with a pointed face and monkey-like features appeared, his face filled with anxiety. He rubbed his hands together and kept urging, "Hurry up! Why are you moving so slowly? If you keep dawdling like this, and that Golden Core cultivator catches up with us, we'll be in real trouble! At that point, forget about making money, we might not even be able to save our lives!"

His companion, standing beside him, remained calm. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips, and slowly said, “Don’t rush, calm down. I’ve already contacted buyers, everything is arranged perfectly. These two women, though a bit older, are still quite attractive. Selling them to the Blazing Sun Sect should fetch them a good price. As for this young woman, hehe, selling her to the Fragrant Pavilion will definitely get you a good price. And this man, he looks quite robust, perfect for working as a laborer at the Dragon Stone Mine.”

Hearing this, the anxious man breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded in agreement, "Okay, okay, as long as we can get the spirit stones as soon as possible."

Sure enough, not long after, the sound of horses' hooves approached from afar. Then, three ornately decorated carriages came from three directions not far away. Each carriage came to a smooth stop in front of the group, and the doors opened, allowing three people to step out.

One of them was dressed in a black robe with a cold expression; another was dressed in fine clothes and held a folding fan, looking like a rich young master; the last one was a burly man with bulging muscles, looking strong and powerful.

After alighting from the carriage, the three men first looked around before focusing their attention on the carriage itself. They walked forward, examined it carefully, and nodded in satisfaction. Then, they signaled to their men to take the others onto the carriage, preparing to leave the area.

With the rolling of wheels and the sound of horses' hooves, the three carriages quickly disappeared at the end of the road...

After happily accepting the spirit stones, the two turned and left in high spirits. Wu Feilong then used his sword-riding technique, flying swiftly to the outskirts like lightning. However, the carriage had long since vanished without a trace, leaving only the deep and shallow ruts on the road clearly visible. He frowned, his gaze sweeping over the ruts extending in four directions, before calmly pulling out a yellowed map from his robes and examining it carefully. After some thought and comparison, he finally chose one of the routes leading to Laiyang County, then once again mounted his flying sword and sped away.

After flying at breakneck speed for dozens of kilometers, Wu Feilong suddenly spotted two men galloping towards him on horseback. He shouted, "You two, stop right there!" His voice boomed like thunder in the air.

But the two men seemed oblivious, continuing to whip their horses relentlessly, urging them forward. Seeing this, Wu Feilong's eyes flashed with anger. With a flick of his wrist, his longsword unleashed a devastating sword aura. The aura, like a rainbow piercing the sun, shot straight towards the horses. A loud "bang" rang out as the aura struck one of the horses accurately. The poor horse neighed in pain and collapsed to the ground. The two men on its back were thrown violently by the momentum and crashed heavily to the ground.

Wu Feilong flashed forward and appeared in front of the two in the blink of an eye, looking down at them and asking, "Tell me! Where did they go?"
