Immortal Martial Saint, something's wrong with my entry.

Upon hearing Luo Jingshan's arrangement, the group quickly packed up and boarded Li Youan's Sky Shuttle, heading towards the location given by Luo Jingshan. Soon, they arrived at a small lake.

"There's a type of fish in this lake that's really delicious. It just happens to eat only the Double Snow Crane Bird, so the variety is a bit monotonous. There are also some monsters around. Let's make our new team's first team building activity a bit more varied."

"Moreover, this place is only two mountains away from the outpost, and there are very few monsters here."

Sure enough, while Luo Jingshan was speaking, Li Youan could see patrol teams and demon-hunting teams flying overhead or passing through the surrounding woods from time to time.

These squads either returned to the outpost after completing their missions or left the outpost to carry out missions elsewhere.

As cultivators, everyone had excellent eyesight. If they encountered someone they knew, the team members would greet each other.

Soon everyone dispersed, leaving Li Youan, Dongfang Jinghong, and Fu Ming behind to prepare the things they would need later with Wei Xiao.

The four of them quickly tidied up the venue and prepared various seasonings and racks.

Whoosh.

Just as Li Youan placed the meat of the Frost Crane on the rack to roast, he heard a whooshing sound coming from not far away. He assumed it was another small team passing by and didn't pay much attention.

"Hey, isn't this Wei Da Kuai? Why aren't you cultivating or sparring with someone? You're grilling meat by the lake."

Hearing that smug voice, Li Youan turned to look at the source of the sound. A man with a sickly pale face was staring at Wei Xiao with a provocative expression.

"Gu Feng, what are you doing here, pretty boy? What bad luck!"

Based on Wei Xiao's words, Li Youan, who already sensed that the visitor was up to no good, was even more certain that this person was not a kind individual. After handing the roasted meat to Dongfang Jinghong, Li Youan walked over to Wei Xiao.

Previously, Wei Xiao's large size, along with Fu Ming, blocked Gu Feng's view, so he didn't see Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong behind them.

But as Li Youan appeared, Gu Feng took two steps to the side and tilted his head to see Dongfang Jinghong standing next to the barbecue grill behind Wei Xiao.

The moment Gu Feng saw Dongfang Jinghong's stunningly beautiful face, his eyes lit up, and a flush appeared on his sickly pale face.

"Gu Feng, I advise you to tone it down."

Seeing Gu Feng like this, Wei Xiao, who had dealt with him many times, knew what dirty thoughts he was having.

"Zheng Xuan doesn't want to rely on her family; she'll deal with you herself, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten this far. Besides, there are some people you can't afford to mess with."

Listening to Wei Xiao's words, Li Youan became even more certain of her judgment from yesterday: this person was just too kind and had no guile.

From the way Gu Feng looked at Dongfang Jinghong, Li Youan already understood that this was a lecherous man, and today's matter would not end so easily, nor would he give up just because Wei Xiao said a few words.

As expected, Gu Feng acted as if he hadn't heard Wei Xiao's warning, and his tone was indifferent.

"You big guy, get out of the way, or I'll give you a good beating today."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiao said nothing more, drew his machete, and revealed his cultivation level of the ninth level of the Kaiyuan Realm.

Sensing Wei Xiao's current strength, Gu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The big guy got in pretty quickly, but your attitude still annoys me so much."

At this moment, Gu Feng's teammates also appeared from behind, but they only looked at them from a distance. Judging from their appearance, Li Youan knew that this was not a military team, but a demon-hunting team.

Dongfang Jinghong saw all of this without feeling surprised or even surprised, but she didn't react. Instead, she turned to look at Li Youan.

Li Youan understood what Dongfang Jinghong was saying just by reading her lips.

The way he mouthed the word "bodyguard" couldn't be clearer.

Li Youan sighed inwardly and replied with the same two words, "Add more money."

As he spoke, Li Youan had already placed his left hand behind his back and secretly began to perform a hand seal.

Li Youan knew that Gu Feng was at the ninth level of the Kaiyuan Realm, but now that his employer had spoken, and he didn't think there was any family that could even challenge the Dongfang family, he was even more reckless.

Remembering his master's previous teachings, Li Youan became even more cautious, quickly hiding each condensed magic seal into the soil to prevent it from being discovered.

After all the magic seals were set up, Li Youan took out the bone whip, flicked his wrist, and a spear appeared in his hand.

After placing a recovery pill in his mouth, Li Youan began to prepare.

If he hadn't misjudged the situation, this conflict would have been unavoidable, and he would have had to wait for the right opportunity.

Gu Feng was getting annoyed looking at Wei Xiao, who was standing in front of him and wouldn't budge an inch.

"Hey big guy, move aside. I just want to get to know this junior. Outpost No. 1 is so dangerous, having more friends means having more options."

As Gu Feng spoke, he glanced at Dongfang Jinghong. He had already fooled quite a few cultivators by using this kind of rhetoric to lower people's guard.

But at this moment, Dongfang Jinghong was completely different from the cultivators he had encountered before. His expression was still cold, and his eyes were filled with indifference and disregard.

This infuriated Gu Feng; he hadn't seen that look on anyone other than Zheng Xuan's face in a long time.

Before taking action, Gu Feng cautiously recalled the appearances of cultivators from the major families in the Northern Frontier Province, but did not find anyone with a face similar to Dongfang Jinghong.

Gu Feng felt relieved. This must be some ignorant country girl who appeared out of nowhere.

Thinking of this, Gu Feng had a sudden thought and prepared to bypass Wei Xiao, wanting to get closer to Dongfang Jinghong behind him.

Just as Gu Feng moved, he suddenly felt his feet sink into the sand. Only then did Gu Feng realize that the sandy shore of the lake beneath his feet had begun to shift.

"Huh? Whose formation is this? How dare they ambush me?"

Gu Feng, who was already at the ninth level of the Kaiyuan Realm, could naturally recognize that it was the formation causing the trouble, and hurriedly began to vigilantly observe his surroundings.

But Li Youan didn't waste any words with him and swung his gun to deliver a "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" strike, smashing it down on him head-on.

The group was very close together, and both were acting out of a sense of unease. Gu Feng had nowhere to gain leverage, and even those at the Kaiyuan Realm couldn't fly.

Gu Feng was thus thrown away by the golden phoenix. Whether or not he was injured, the humiliation was immense.

But only for a moment, Gu Feng dispersed the giant phoenix and returned to his previous position.

"Which brat dares to ambush Master Gu?"

At first, Gu Feng didn't even consider Li Youan on the other side, because he didn't believe that there was a formation master among them.

But upon seeing Li Youan's "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix," he immediately recognized who it was.

The moment the quicksand formation was activated, Wei Xiao knew it was Li Youan's doing. He hadn't expected his new team member to be so decisive, launching an attack without a word.

Wei Xiao felt that Li Youan was still too inexperienced and had overestimated his strength, or rather, underestimated the gap between the first and ninth levels of the Kaiyuan Realm.

Li Youan was not surprised at all when his Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix was easily broken by the opponent.

He was not an arrogant person, and naturally knew the huge gap between the first and ninth levels of the Kaiyuan Realm.

He just wanted to use this performance as an opportunity to gain more benefits from Dongfang Jinghong.

Moreover, the captain was nearby; how could Gu Feng possibly hurt him in broad daylight?

More importantly, Gu Feng had just tried to make the first move.

Moreover, they still tried to rush in without any response from Dongfang Jinghong.

Having meticulously planned everything, Li Youan acted with such impunity.

Gu Feng didn't say a word. At this moment, he didn't want to ask anything; he just wanted to beat them up first.

A slender longsword appeared in his right hand, and he poured all his energy into it. He then swung the sword more than a dozen times in Li Youan's direction.

"Sword Technique of Absolute Wind - Stream Wind Sword"

More than a dozen sword beams, imbued with the force of wind and moisture, hurtled toward Li Youan.

Although Wei Xiao was kind and simple, he was not a weak person. When he saw Gu Feng make a move, he also swung his machete down directly.

"Severing Peak Blade Manual: Falling Mountain Slash".

A deep yellow blade of energy, as powerful as a mountain, slashed towards Gu Feng's sword light.

Fu Ming did not rush in, but instead protected Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong behind him.

"Alright, alright, Wei Xiao, it's been a while since we sparred. Let's practice here today."

Seeing that his attack had failed, Gu Feng did not pursue the matter further, but instead extended an invitation to Wei Xiao.
