Chapter 87 Outside Tianxing City, Old Friends Reunited
After leaving Xiaohuan Island, Mu Chunfeng traveled at a fast pace and arrived at Kuixing Island after several hours.
Upon arriving at Kuixing Island, he did not enter the inner city directly. Instead, he moved swiftly, concealing his escape light, and silently landed in a somewhat remote area of the outer city where cultivators lived.
He stopped in front of an inconspicuous little courtyard.
This is where Wen Qiang and Wen Siyue used to live. Now that he has come to Kui Xing Island, he also wants to take the opportunity to inquire about Wen Siyue's whereabouts.
Pushing open the half-closed courtyard gate, a desolate scene came into view. Weeds grew rampant in the courtyard, and the furnishings inside the house remained the same, covered with a thin layer of dust.
"well……"
Mu Chunfeng sighed softly, her gaze sweeping across the empty hall, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
He recalled telling Wen Qiang that he could come to him if he needed anything, and that he had also told him where he was going when he left Kuixing Island. He promised that if Wen Qiang would turn back, he would protect him and his daughter once.
But Wen Qiang ultimately did not respond.
"It's truly a cruel twist of fate."
While Wen Qiang's submission to Jiyin Island was partly due to the threat posed by the island to Wen Siyue's safety, his own hatred for the people of Xinggong also played a significant role.
"Once you choose the most dangerous path, there's no turning back."
As for Siyue, I will do my best to protect her.
Mu Chunfeng shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
Afterwards, he went to the vicinity of Waifang City to inquire about Wen Siyue's whereabouts.
However, Wen Siyue was just a child at the time, and few people paid attention to her.
In addition, during the incident at Kui Xing Island, no one in the inner city escaped because of the control of Ji Yin Island, and the outer city was also mostly destroyed because Lei Peng broke the seal and escaped. Many people fled to other places, and no one cared about the lives of others.
After making inquiries, no one knew Wen Siyue's whereabouts.
"How should I find it...?"
Mu Chunfeng closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, quickly recalling that in the original story, Han Li encountered Wen Siyue, who was selling maps, on the ship heading to Tianxing City, and that Wen Siyue was later taken in by the Miaoyin Sect and became a disciple of the sect.
Since that's the case, let's first search along the route from Kuixing Island to Tianxing City. If we can't find it there, then we'll ask Feng Xingzi in Tianxing City.
After making up his mind, Mu Chunfeng bought some supplies and a detailed sea map to Tianxing City at the market, and then set off again from Kuixing Island.
After that, he flew towards Tianxing City.
He deliberately slowed down during the journey, and would stop to inquire about passing merchant ships or low-level cultivators.
But when he arrived in Tianxing City three months later, he had not heard a word about Wen Siyue at all along the way.
"That girl is still wandering somewhere, her whereabouts unknown..."
Mu Chunfeng sighed. There was nothing he could do if he couldn't find them. He had just formed his core and had many things to do. He couldn't spend too much time searching for them in the vast ocean. He could only ask someone to keep an eye out for them in the future.
At this moment, Mu Chunfeng had just landed outside Tianxing City.
Looking up, this first giant city in the Chaotic Star Sea resembles a colossal creature perched on the sea surface, its towering walls seemingly piercing the clouds, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.
He concealed his Core Formation stage cultivation and quietly joined the crowd, queuing up to wait for inspection.
As the core of the Chaotic Star Sea, Tianxing City sees countless cultivators entering and leaving every day, with long queues already forming outside the city gates.
The Star Palace Guards responsible for the inspection were all at the Foundation Establishment stage. They were indifferent and mechanically checked everyone's residence rings or collected the spirit stones for temporary entry into the city. When they encountered a low-level cultivator who was a little slow, they would impatiently shout and urge him on.
Just then, he scanned the area with his divine sense and encountered an unexpected person.
"Han Li!"
Not far away, Han Li, dressed in a green robe, was accompanied by a black-clad cultivator with a stiff expression; it was Qu Hun.
As soon as Han Li landed, he suddenly heard someone call his name. His instinctive reaction caused him to secretly increase his magical power. Qu Hun even stepped forward to block him, thinking that it was someone from Jiyin Island who had caught up with him.
But when he saw the person walking towards him with a smile not far away, he realized that it was Mu Chunfeng, whom he had not seen for more than 20 years!
"Senior Brother Mu!"
Han Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed softly, "What are you doing here?"
"Hehe, I moved to Tianxing City a long time ago, but I didn't expect Junior Brother Han to come here as well."
Mu Chunfeng left the group and walked to Han Li's side, his eyes flashing as he sized him up.
At this moment, Han Li possessed the cultivation level of the late Foundation Establishment stage, with a profound and restrained aura. He had clearly completed the first stage of the "Three Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique" and had returned to the Qi Refining stage.
However, logically speaking, Han Li should still be hiding somewhere in the sea area of Kui Xing Island, cultivating. Why did he arrive in Tianxing City so early?
At this moment, Han Li looked at Mu Chunfeng, whose aura was becoming increasingly unfathomable, and his thoughts were somewhat complicated.
Back in the ancient teleportation array mine, Mu Chunfeng's terrifying strength had made Han Li feel deeply humiliated and fearful. He had kept that feeling of having his fate in someone else's hands in his heart.
But as he truly practiced the "Three Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique" and personally experienced the wonder of the pure magic power after the technique was dissipated and rebuilt, that slight resistance gradually disappeared.
Instead, they felt gratitude towards Mu Chunfeng, their "treasure-giving senior brother."
Of course, while I'm grateful, I still need to remember the grudges.
Han Li thought to himself: Back then, you relied on your high cultivation level to scare me. When I, Han Li, reach the Core Formation or even the Nascent Soul Formation, I will definitely find you for a "sparring" and let you taste the feeling of being intimidated by my power... However, for the sake of my cultivation technique, I will only scare you for the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn.
Once he understood, Han Li composed himself and respectfully bowed, saying, "Senior Brother Mu, I was looking for you on Kui Xing Island a few years ago. I didn't expect you to have moved to Tianxing City. No wonder I missed you back then."
"Kui Xing Island is ultimately too small, unlike Tian Xing City which is well-supplied. There are too many people and too many eyes here, so let's go into the city first."
Mu Chunfeng smiled and replied.
After saying that, he and Han Li walked together toward the city gate.
But when the guards at the city gate checked Mu Chunfeng, he did not obediently show his residence ring like others, nor did he take out spirit stones to buy a temporary certificate. Instead, he simply released his aura slightly.
A powerful spiritual pressure belonging to a Core Formation cultivator flashed by.
Upon sensing this aura, the guard's expression immediately turned serious. He quickly abandoned his previous indifference, bowed his head, and respectfully invited Mu Chunfeng inside.
The lower-level cultivators queuing around them sensed this aura and all showed reverence, consciously quieting down.
A moment later, Han Li and Qu Hun also passed the inspection and entered the city.
He quickly walked a few steps to Mu Chunfeng's side, turned around and cupped his hands, saying, "I didn't expect that Senior Brother has already formed his core. Junior Brother congratulates Senior Brother on attaining the Great Dao."
Han Li remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he couldn't help but mutter: Good heavens, it's only been a few years, and you've already reached the Core Formation stage. It seems my plan to "spar" with you and get my revenge will have to be postponed again.
"Well, I was just lucky and managed to form my core by sheer chance."
Mu Chunfeng waved his hand and said casually, "Let's go, let's get acquainted with my cave first, and then we can talk in detail when we get there."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother."
Han Li cupped his hands in greeting and followed with Qu Hun.
