"Yes, that’s her!"
"Tsk, tsk, this girl is truly audacious..."
Everyone’s eyes were filled with admiration. This was the kind of move that would earn the Medicine King Sect’s eternal enmity.
It seemed this girl was at death’s door.
"So her name is Song Wanning..."
Wu Qingfeng suddenly smiled.
But his smile was filled with a chilling frost. It wasn’t enough that she’d desecrated his Medicine King Sect’s memorial tablets; now she was stealing their things as well.
Enemies truly do travel a narrow road!
"Where is she now?"
He looked coldly at Xiao Heyun but didn’t trouble him further.
"I don’t know. Most likely still in Cannibal Valley."
Xiao Heyun’s face was icy, his body aching from a throbbing pain he was trying to endure.
"The palace disappeared with her a moment ago."
In other words, the palace was very likely on Song Wanning’s person.
"Heh heh..."
Wu Qingfeng laughed in anger.
"In that case, I’ll wait for her to come out. Let’s see if she has the guts to hide for the rest of her life!"
He flicked his sleeves, turned, and walked toward the shade of a tree. He then summoned the disciples of the Medicine King Sect to rush over at full speed and surround the entire Cannibal Valley.
He refused to believe that Song Wanning could hide forever.
Today, not even a fly would leave this place.
Some Cultivators who wanted to leave were all turned away. Who knew if any of them were suspicious?
They would have to wait for Song Wanning to appear first.
While Wu Qingfeng was dispatching his people to surround Cannibal Valley, Song Wanning was learning how to control the Immortal Furnace.
At the same time, Daoqing also taught her many alchemy techniques, and her eyes lit up as she listened.
If not for the lack of time, neither of them would have known when to stop.
"It’s a pity. Using this palace as a channel, I can only stay for so long..."
"Otherwise, I would have passed on all my skills to you!"
Daoqing’s eyes were filled with regret. This girl’s talent surpassed that of all his disciples.
"Thank you, Senior. This junior will definitely study the Alchemy Dao diligently in the future and will not let you down!"
Song Wanning was filled with gratitude. Although she couldn’t formally take him as her master, she considered anyone who taught her the Dao and resolved her doubts a teacher. In her heart, she already saw Daoqing as her master!
"Good, good. As your master, I look forward to the day you ascend to the Immortal Realm!"
Daoqing’s eyes were filled with gratification. He gave Song Wanning one last, reluctant look, and his ethereal figure gradually faded away.
Only after he had completely vanished did Song Wanning withdraw her gaze. Following Daoqing’s instructions, she first claimed ownership of the palace. From now on, it would be her mobile apothecary, making it more convenient to refine Elixir Pills.
Within her Sea of Consciousness, an Elixir Book floated silently—the legacy from Daoqing.
This was the Elixir Book meticulously compiled by Daoqing, a treasure that cultivators in the Immortal Realm would fight to the death to obtain.
Song Wanning’s lips curved in a satisfied smile. ’It seems people like Mu Zixu, who can’t tell right from wrong, are in the minority.’
After tidying up, she prepared to leave the palace.
But she didn’t exit rashly. Instead, she used the palace’s vision to peer outside.
’Why are there so many people?’
Song Wanning’s brow furrowed tightly. It had been so long. Not only were these people still here, but they were all gathered around!
As if they were waiting for someone.
’Could they be waiting for me?’
Song Wanning’s heart sank. She observed them carefully and soon spotted a silent Xiao Heyun and a sulking Xie Qinglan.
Looking further, a figure caught her attention.
The man wore blue-green robes and leaned against a large tree, resting with his eyes closed. The aura emanating from him was as vast as the sea, and his presence was so imposing that no one dared to look at him directly.
He was obviously a powerhouse!
Glancing around, several Cultivators in the robes of the Medicine King Sect entered her sight. Their respectful demeanor toward the man immediately allowed her to guess his identity.
’The Medicine King Sect sent someone!!!’
A murderous intent flashed through Song Wanning’s heart, and a ruthless glint flickered in her eyes before vanishing.
’To send such a powerful Cultivator after me... that villain Mu Zixu is truly despicable!’
"Sister, what do we do now? That person won’t be easy to deal with!"
The Golden Small Sword, being connected to Song Wanning’s thoughts, sensed her speculation and grew nervous.
"Don’t rush."
Song Wanning’s expression remained unchanged. Though she was worried, she knew she couldn’t afford to panic.
She tried to send a Communication Talisman to Liu Xingzhi to inform him of the situation, but Cannibal Valley was somehow blocking them.
"..."
She gave a wry twitch of her lips. She’d almost forgotten that Xie Qinglan had failed when she tried to contact Xiao Heyun earlier.
’Don’t be hasty, don’t panic.’
Song Wanning took a deep breath and decided she had to find a way to fight for a chance. At the very least, she had to escape Cannibal Valley first. Otherwise, how would the seniors from the Ancient Cold Sect know her exact location and come to her aid?
So she began looking for an opportunity, but the palace could only move with her...
And she couldn’t just rush out right now.
Having no other choice, she turned her attention back to the Divine Thunder.
Song Wanning first selected a treasure from the ones she’d collected in the Lower World. Then, finding a suitable angle, she hurled it out with all her might.
At the same time, a bolt of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder descended from the sky, providing perfect cover.
"Quick, look! What’s that?"
"It’s a treasure!"
All the crowd saw was a glowing object flying swiftly into the distance under the cover of the Divine Thunder.
Forgetting all about whether Wu Qingfeng was present, they all ran in the direction of the treasure.
Wu Qingfeng also noticed the object and shot to his feet. Because he couldn’t use his Divine Sense, he had no way of knowing if it was truly a treasure.
But the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder was real!
Wu Qingfeng’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately flew in that direction.
’Now’s the time!’
A cold glint flashed in Song Wanning’s eyes. Seizing the opportunity, she flew out of the palace and sped toward the exit of Cannibal Valley.
Her speed was extreme; she didn’t dare to delay for even a moment.
However, no matter how fast she was, the difference in their Cultivation was still there. It wasn’t long before Wu Qingfeng discovered her.
"Stop her!"
He roared, and the Medicine King Sect disciples who had been watching from the sidelines instantly gave chase after Song Wanning.
Song Wanning’s gaze hardened. As she turned back, she had already swung her Longsword again.
The terrifying Sword Dao True Realm manifested as a halo of light, impeding the pursuing Medicine King Sect disciples.
"Hmph, still trying to run? Let’s see how far you can get!"
Wu Qingfeng snorted coldly and joined the pursuit.
His speed was no match for an ordinary person; he was behind Song Wanning in no time.
A sneer appeared on his lips as he reached out to grab Song Wanning.
Just as he thought victory was in his grasp, a bolt of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder crashed down, startling him so badly that he flew back a dozen meters.
Before he could even figure out what had happened, Song Wanning had already reached the edge of Cannibal Valley.
But outside Cannibal Valley, a crowd of Medicine King Sect disciples had long since gathered. Among them were more than ten Void Refining Stage disciples, not to mention the Out-of-Body Stage Cultivators standing among them.
Her eyes turned grim. Without a second thought, she slashed with her sword at the Divine Separation Stage Cultivator at the very front.
At the same time, she didn’t forget to send a Communication Talisman to Liu Xingzhi.
Freed from the restrictions of Cannibal Valley, the Communication Talisman immediately flew off.
Unfortunately, by then, Wu Qingfeng had also emerged.
Dozens of people had Song Wanning completely surrounded. She was trapped with no hope of escape!
