"Big Brother Feng, it's been so long!" Tianci Zhang exclaimed over the phone. "You finally called me! I've missed you so much. Don't worry, I'll take care of the things you said right away."
Not having received any calls from Qingfeng Li for so long, Tianci Zhang had been terrified, thinking that something had happened to him. It was only when he finally received the call from Qinfgeng Li today that he had been able to really relax.
Qingfeng Li led Xue Lin and the others out of the mansion. Just as they were about to go to the Riverview Restaurant, Sky-Devouring Snake slithered toward them. It reached out its tail and gave Qingfeng Li a slap.
Qingfeng Li furrowed his brow, displeasure evident in his eyes as he said. "Stinking snake, what're you hitting me for? You looking for a beating?"
Sky-Devouring Snake didn't reply. It lifted its tail again and landed another blow on Qingfeng Li.
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Qingfeng Li was a little ticked. "You think I wouldn't hit you for real?"
Here he was taking these guys out for a meal out of the goodness of his heart, so what was this snake hitting him for?
What Qingfeng Li didn't expect was for the Sky-Devouring Snake to swing its tail at him again, and then to turn and run right after the slap landed.
"Stop, stinking snake!" Qingfeng Li shouted as he chased after the Sky-Devouring Snake. "See what I'll do to you when I catch you!"
Just as it reached an alleyway, Sky-Devouring Snake stopped.
"Stinking snake," catching up, Qingfeng Li said. "Why'd you stop running? You really want me to teach you a lesson?"
"Give it a break already." Sky-Devouring Snake rolled its eyes, looking at him with disdain as it opened its mouth. "Teach me a lesson? Did you forget that we came back to rescue the baby? But now you got the time to go eat with Xue Lin. And you're asking me why I'm hitting you?"
"I was focused on getting back to save Xue Lin," Qingfeng Li's brows knitted together. "I can't believe I forgot about the baby."
"Now do you know why I hit you?" Sky-Devouring Snake said moodily. "I had to draw you away. If I said this in front of Xue Lin, she would get jealous again."
"Well," Qingfeng Li nodded. "Who'd have thought that you'd be so attentive, Snakey? You've helped me big time, I'll remember to reward you next time."
Thereafter, Qingfeng Li and Sky-Devouring Snake returned to Xue Lin.
"Honey," Qingfeng Li said to Xue Lin, slightly apologetic. "There's something I need to take care of. I'll come to eat later, okay?"
"Sure thing, Honey," Xue Lin nodded in understanding. "The Western World of Self-Cultivators are attacking the East. It's bound to be danger everywhere. If you have to do something then go quickly."
"Big Brother Li, I'll skip on the meal," Flower Fairy said to Qingfeng Li. "I need to hurry home and see if anything has happened at the Hundred-Flower Palace."
Qingfeng Li nodded. "Alright. When you've reached the Hundred-Flower Palace, make sure to keep in contact with me. If anything happens, let me know immediately."
Nodding, Flower Fairy waved her good-bye at Qingfeng Li and the others. She was the Saintess of the Hundred-Flower Palace and was worried that her own sect would be a target of the West's attack.
Then, Xianzhi Qin spoke, as well. "Big Brother Li, I need to get back to Fiery Emperor Palace, too. I need to go see my father."
Qingfeng Li nodded. "Then hurry up and go. If anything happens at the Fiery Emperor Palace, definitely let me know. I'll go to your aid."
Xianzhi Qin nodded thankfully, before quickly turning and departing.
Seeing the Flower Fairy and Xianzhi Qin leave, Qingfeng Li felt something within him depart with them.
Qingfeng Li left the Wolf Fang Team, Sky Fate Demon King, Ziyi Miao and the others behind, charging them to protect Xue Lin. He himself then headed toward the hospital with Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake.
With Qingfeng Li's exceptional speed, they quickly arrived at the hospital. When they arrived, however, Qingfeng Li's expression changed. He saw that, in the sky above the hospital, there was a black cloud of devilish energy.
"Devilish self-cultivators are here," Black Puppy said, its brows knitting together.
A hint of worry appeared in Qingfeng Li's eyes.
"Let's go inside," he said firmly. "Once we encounter those of self cultivators of the Devilish Dao, do not hesitate. Kill them all."
Taking the lead, Qingfeng Li walked briskly toward the hospital. At the entrance, they saw two devilish self cultivators, radiating devilish energy.
"Stop!" The devilish self cultivator on the left said to Qingfeng Li. He stood at a full two meters in height, emitting an fierce aura all over, "This hospital has been quarantined. No one is allowed to enter."
Without a word, Qingfeng Li lifted his hand and swung it forward, smashing the man's head with a single blow.
On the other side, the gaunt devilish self cultivator saw the display of Qingfeng Li's strength and opened his mouth to scream.
Just then, Black Puppy leapt up from the ground. Flying through the air, it reached out with its claws and, with one swipe, tore the gaunt man's throat out. The man's body fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Hurry inside. Find Ruyan Liu and the baby." There was worry in Qingfeng Li's eyes as he sped in through the door with Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake.
Just a dozen meters in, Qingfeng Li encountered four other Devilish self-cultivators from the West. The hospital was already under their control.
"Who are you guys?" The man in the lead said, his voice full of unbridled arrogance. "Who let you lot in?"
Without a word, Qingfeng Li charged toward them. He swung his hand toward the men, killing each with a single blow.
Stepping off the ground, Qingfeng Li shot forward in a flash of red lightning, dashing toward Ruyan Liu's room like a whirlwind.
At this moment, within the room, Ruyan Liu, Jiaojiao Liu, the Cat of Fate and Niching Luo were gathered around the baby in a protective circle. They stared coldly at the men standing by the door.
"Who are you?" Ruyan Liu asked, glancing at one of the men who looked like he was in charge. "Why did you barge in here? What do you want?"
The boss in question stood at seven-and-a-half feet. There was a single horn grown from the top of his head and a third eye on his forehead.
This boss had three eyes! He was an extremely evil and powerful figure, the infamous Three-Eyed Fiend from the Western World of Self-Cultivators.
Black hairs grew from all over the Three-Eyed Fiend's body. His canine teeth were extremely long and thin. His hands were like claws, rough and thin, the sharp black nails glinting with a chilling light.
"Hey sweetheart," the Three-Eyed Field said coldly, staring at Ruyan Liu. "Your body is something special. I smell the scent of an evolved one. Why don't you come with me?"
Ruyan Liu's face fell. With rage burning in her eyes, she spoke icily. "Why should I leave with you? Who are you?"
The Three-Eyed Fiend gave what he thought was a disarming smile. But to Ruyan Liu and Jiaojiao Liu, the expression was downright hideous. Jiaojiao Liu was especially disgusted, her face turned pale as she backed away from the Fiend.
