After the witch ripped out his heart, this mortal body began to lose control.

At the third quarter of the hour of Xu (7:45 PM), the waning moon remained, making the dense forest appear even darker and colder, and the mist lingered among the bushes and weeds for a long time.

Lu Changsheng leaned against a large tree in the mist, closed his eyes, and concentrated.

We waited patiently for the Li family's guest to finally appear.

Swish!

Suddenly, a gust of wind arose from the distant woods; it was no ordinary breeze.

A blood-red figure, taking advantage of the faint light of the waning moon, sped toward Lu Changsheng.

In the blink of an eye, it darted from a hundred paces away to the sky above the dense forest.

The person who came was none other than Chifeng, who had returned after leaving!

The pale blue swirling around him remained, and his Wind Control Technique was still at its peak. After scanning the dense forest and mist below with his divine sense, he spoke calmly.

"Young friend Lu, are you going to obediently come out and come with me, or should I go down and find you, grab you, and take you away?"

As he spoke, his divine sense swept across the mist below again. Whether the mist distorted his divine sense or there was something strange about this forest, he could only roughly determine Lu Changsheng's location.

Below, in the mist, Lu Changsheng, one hand gripping the hilt of his sword, remained hidden beside the large tree.

He chose to remain silent in response to Chi Feng's question.

He was certain that Chi Feng didn't know his exact location, otherwise, with his Foundation Establishment cultivation, he would have already captured him, and he wouldn't have wasted his breath.

Chi Feng, a well-known Foundation Establishment expert, is certainly not stupid to have survived to this day.

He knew that Lu Changsheng must have made thorough preparations to dare to wait for him here, and even though he himself was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he dared not be careless.

Normally, he would never have entered this strange fog to search for Lu Changsheng.

But today he had no choice but to enter the fog, and he had to do so as quickly as possible to capture Lu Changsheng.

That old geezer Zhang will be here soon; he doesn't have much time left.

If he misses this opportunity today, it will be virtually impossible for him to bring Lu Changsheng back to the Li residence in the future.

Even if it's a den of dragons and tigers, I'll still brave it!

"You think a mere wisp of fog can stop me? Break through!"

He crashed to the ground, triggering the trap that Lu Changsheng had laid long ago.

As soon as he landed, the spiritual net on the ground suddenly sprang up, instantly binding Chi Feng's feet and pulling him sharply, causing his body to freeze abruptly.

"You think you can bind me with your petty tricks? Dream on!"

He scoffed, and at the same time, his spiritual power erupted, a wave of energy sweeping in all directions, severing the spiritual net and forcefully creating a vacuum zone in the mist.

The tree where Lu Changsheng was hiding was instantly exposed to the other party's sight.

"Found you!"

Chi Feng's eyes flashed with ferocity. He took a step forward, activated the Wind Control Technique, and was about to pounce on Lu Changsheng.

Unexpectedly, the shockwave directly triggered the fireballs on the trees around him.

Boom!

A loud bang was heard.

Chi Feng could only withstand the attack with his bare body.

As the loud noise spread, a large amount of Corrosive Spirit Powder exploded around Chi Feng and was inhaled into his body.

He immediately felt his spiritual energy stagnate, his speed in riding the wind decreased significantly, and his spiritual energy began to quietly dissipate.

Despite this unexpected turn of events, he remained undeterred. His goal was within reach, and he was about to succeed; he could not back down.

"You little beast, what's the point of using these underhanded tricks in the face of absolute power?"

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng knew that this round was probably won.

Facing the oncoming crimson wind, he neither dodged nor avoided it, the veins on his sword-wielding arm bulging.

Just as Chi Feng tore apart the thick tree where he was hiding with a single palm strike,

A thousand troops are drawn from their sheaths.

Hey!

After a dragon's roar, he advanced instead of retreating, sword in hand.

He defied the pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage and charged straight up!

He used the "Stone Piercing" move from the "Amazing Swan Sword Technique".

Lu Changsheng raised his sword and pointed it directly at the crimson wind that was tearing through the tree and rushing towards him. He suddenly poured thirty percent of his spiritual power into the sword and then thrust it straight out!

With a roar, the sword light transformed into a golden dragon and rushed straight towards Chi Feng's chest!

puff!

The two were very close when the golden dragon pierced through Chi Feng's chest in an instant, leaving a perfectly round hole the size of a fist.

Blood splattered all over Lu Changsheng's face at such close range, but he didn't seem to care.

With his other hand, he simultaneously wielded his sword and severed Chifeng's head.

As an unbelievable head rolled to the ground,

Lu Changsheng then sheathed his sword.

After calculating everything repeatedly in his mind, Lu Changsheng knew, of course, that the illusionary fog had limited effect on Foundation Establishment experts.

He also knew that the Spirit-Eating Powder, Spirit Net, and Flame Burst Talisman would not be very effective against him.

All his arrangements were merely to distract Chifeng, so that Chifeng wouldn't dodge his final sword strike.

Looking at Chifeng lying motionless on the ground, and recalling his lightning-fast speed, I felt a pang of regret.

This old guy was originally a talented person, but now he's become a freak!

"Blame it on you for following the wrong master!"

As he said this, Lu Changsheng bent down and searched his body, taking out two storage bags and stuffing them into his own pocket.

Just then, Steward Zhang arrived, his face once again displaying his obsequious demeanor as he stood before Lu Changsheng.

"Young master! I'm so glad you're alright! Let this old servant check if you're injured!"

But when he noticed the lifeless Chifeng beneath his feet, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Son-in-law, did you kill him?"

"What's wrong?"

He looked up at Butler Zhang, his tone calm:

"Butler, please finish up."

Butler Zhang stared at Chi Feng's corpse, his pupils shrinking, his heart churning with turmoil.

Chi Feng's movements were unpredictable and his escape skills were unparalleled. Even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would find it difficult to kill him. Yet this son-in-law, who had reached the peak of Qi Refining, actually killed him!

Butler Zhang looked at the cold-eyed young man in front of him and was secretly startled.

The son-in-law is far more terrifying than he appears.

Throughout history, how many people have been able to refine their Qi and kill someone at the Foundation Establishment stage?

These people are undoubtedly top geniuses!

With that thought in mind, Steward Zhang immediately burned the corpse.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng's departing figure had become even more imposing, he followed his son-in-law with great enthusiasm.

"Young master, please wait for this old servant!"

"You may return to your residence; you don't need to follow me!"

Upon hearing this, Steward Zhang wanted to say that it would be good to have him by his side to protect the young master, but when he thought of Lu Changsheng's recent killing of Chifeng, he swallowed the words back.

"This old servant understands."

Lu Changsheng didn't linger. He flew through the air on his sword and sped towards Yunshan Village.

---------

The hour of Xu (7-9 PM) has passed, and the hour of Hai (9-11 PM) is approaching.

In the brightly lit courtyard of Yunshan Village, several women were busy cooking in the kitchen.

A plate of pork, reddish-brown in color and exuding a rich aroma, was placed on the table by one of the women and stopped next to Zhao Si, who was sitting around the table.

"Excuse me, the food's here!"

The woman greeted,

Zhao Si immediately stepped aside and took the pork from the woman's hand.

The woman looked at Lu Changsheng with delight. This child had been smart and sensible since he was a child, unlike her own good-for-nothing son.

So she said warmly, "Changsheng, quickly try the braised pork that Auntie made. This pig is the same one you killed before you got married!"

"You'd better have a good talk with my Zhao Hu when you get back this time. That brat only listens to you!"

He wanted to say a few more words, but Zhao Si interrupted him.

"Alright, hurry back inside and get some hot dishes ready. We men are having serious business to discuss. Don't these women have any sense of propriety? They're making a racket and going on and on."

Upon hearing this, the woman gave her husband a resentful look and retreated sullenly.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng quickly grabbed a wine jar from the table and filled it for Zhao Si.

"Come on, Fourth Uncle, have a good taste of this wine. This is wine for immortals! Let's soak up some of their divine energy today."

Third Grandfather, Second Grandfather, Grandfather, you should try some too!

Lu Changsheng filled the bowls for the four people on the table one by one.

Zhao Si pointed at the two old men in their fifties or sixties beside him and said unhappily:

"You brat, why do you always call me 'uncle' but call them both 'grandpa'? Doesn't that put me at a huge disadvantage?"

Just then, Lu Chengfeng, who was on the left, spoke up: "Alright! Let the child call me whatever he wants, you just enjoy your drink."

He then looked at Lu Changsheng and said, "Changsheng, tell me the important reason you've come back!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng looked at his grandfather and said, word by word, "Grandpa, I killed several experts from the Li family tonight, including Chi Feng, a guest elder of the Li family!"
