Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

Feng Qiguang's heart trembled.

That's way too domineering!

But he couldn't see the other person's strength.

The opposing side had a large and powerful force; there were only two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the entire Phoenix Perch Town, which was no match for them.

Feng Qiguang: "Senior, Fengqi Town is a vital transportation hub between the north and south, with numerous merchants passing through daily. What if we forcibly blockade those who are on their way to seek refuge? I also need to consult with my family..."

"Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

Before he finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in the old man's eyes, and a heavy, mountain-like pressure swept towards Feng Qiguang.

Feng Qiguang felt as if he had been struck in the chest by a giant hammer weighing ten thousand jin. He didn't even have a chance to react before he was slammed into a tall market building, which collapsed instantly.

"The mere Feng family is merely clinging to life by relying on an old and frail Purple Mansion Ancestor."

Even if your Feng family patriarch stood before me, he wouldn't dare speak like that. I'm sparing you only out of respect for the Feng family. Get out of here!

Feng Qiguang clutched his chest and swallowed a Rejuvenation Pill. His dislocated bones quickly recovered, but the excruciating pain continued to torment him, making even taking a breath feel like being slowly sliced ​​to death.

The oppressive aura just now belonged to the Golden Core stage, and this old man was actually a great cultivator at the Golden Core stage.

Before he could catch his breath, several sword cultivators on the horizon swiftly unleashed their array artifacts.

In an instant, a huge blue net descended from the sky, completely enveloping the entire Phoenix Perch Town.

Feng Qiguang was shocked, and cold sweat trickled down his back.

Something's not right. If the goal is to catch petty thieves, why would they need to use such a powerful sealing formation that could destroy a city?

There was once an evil cultivator who, in order to improve his cultivation, did not hesitate to refine the entire city, forcing countless living beings within it to sacrifice themselves in order to enhance his own cultivation.

The actions of this group are nothing short of those of evil cultivators. Could it be that they intend to use Phoenix Perch Town as a sacrifice?

Feng Qiguang bit her lip hard, using the excruciating pain to stay conscious.

At this moment, the blue array was not yet fully closed, so he forcibly circulated his spiritual power and flew out through the air.

This matter is too important; we must go to our ancestral home to invite our patriarch.

The old man watched his disappearing figure with disdain.

"The Phoenix Family's Sky-Crossing Technique? Not bad, you've got some skill, managing to slip away right under my nose."

Unfortunately, compared to the strength of the Sword Alliance, the Feng family is still no match.

"Run! Quickly summon all the old bones of the Feng family; it'll save me the trouble of searching for them one by one."

Meanwhile, at the Feng family's main residence, a thousand miles away from Fengqi Town.

A phantom figure crashed heavily into the main hall of the family.

"Ancestor, something terrible has happened..."

Feng Qicheng, the patriarch of the Feng family, was discussing matters with several elders when he saw this and instantly caught the swaying Feng Qiguang.

He raised his hand and released a surge of powerful spiritual energy from his Purple Mansion into Feng Qiguang's body.

"What happened? As the garrison commander, how can you be so flustered and out of control!"

Clan Chief Feng Tianyuan arrived shortly afterward. He was heartbroken to see his son in such a miserable state, but his expression remained cold and stern.

Feng Qiguang forced back a mouthful of blood and said urgently, "Ancestor, Father, a Golden Core cultivator has arrived in Fengqi Town, bringing five Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than a dozen Qi Refining cultivators. They have already sealed off the entire town. They say they are here to catch thieves, but judging from their formation, they are clearly here to massacre the city."

Upon hearing this, the entire council chamber fell into a deathly silence.

"A Grand Cultivation of the Golden Core stage?" Feng Xichen frowned, staring at Feng Qiguang, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me the whole story truthfully."

After Feng Qiguang finished explaining the whole story, everyone looked solemn.

Feng Xichen: "The people from the Northern Sword Alliance have traveled thousands of miles south. They must have something on their mind. Searching for someone is just an excuse for them. You should quickly seek help from the other forces in the Sichuan region."

At this moment, Feng Tianyuan, who was standing to the side, stared at Feng Qiguang and suddenly said in a deep voice, "It's nearly a thousand miles from Fengqi Town to the ancestral home. Even I would need half a day to travel there by sword. How can you possibly get back in a single breath?"

Feng Qiguang's heart skipped a beat as he recalled Yu Luoning's astonishing novella on the art of crossing the sky.

Compared to the flying technique that the Feng family was so proud of, it was completely incomparable to the one left behind by Yu Luoning.

But this was left to him by Luo Ning; how could he pass it on to the Feng family without permission?

Feng Qiguang: "Ancestor, uncles and elders, now is not the time to study magic. The lives of everyone in the city, and the reputation of the Feng family, are all tied to that great formation. They have no intention of letting anyone go."

Feng Xichen sighed deeply.

"Xiao Guang is right. This is not the time to study magic. The enemy has already put a knife to the neck of the Feng family. We must think of a way quickly."

Feng Tianyuan's voice was sharp. As the clan leader, he was determined to preserve the Feng family's lineage, no matter how critical the situation.

"Pass on my order: the Feng family shall split into two groups. Those who are over fifty years old and have reached the late stage of Qi Refining or above shall accompany the Ancestor to Fengqi Town. The rest of the younger generation shall immediately pack their belongings, take the family's secret manuals, and evacuate in all directions. As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn."

He turned to look at Feng Qiguang and said, "Xiaoguang, you should also lead the team to retreat. You are seriously injured and are the future hope of the family. You cannot act rashly."

"I'm not leaving." Feng Qiguang suddenly stood up straight. Although his body was weak, his eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

"What kind of man deserts in the face of battle? Besides, there are people I need to protect in Phoenix Perch Town; I must go back."

"You bastard! That was a Golden Core cultivator, were you going to your death? You're lucky you came back alive." Feng Tianyuan was furious, and he raised his hand to slap him.

As the clan leader, he had to prioritize the Phoenix Clan's overall interests in everything he did. He was usually quite strict with his son, but what father wouldn't love his son?

Now is a good excuse. Feng Qiguang is seriously injured, so this is a good opportunity to get him away from the battlefield.

"Let him go," the Third Elder suddenly said.

This person was none other than Feng Qiguang's third uncle.

"Clan leader, Xiao Guang is right. He is the most talented among the younger generation of the Feng family. Even he deserted in the face of battle. The children who survived will never be able to hold their heads high in this life."

Feng Tianyuan sighed deeply, his cloudy eyes turning red. "Fine. Go."

Seeing this, Feng Xichen smiled and nodded.

He roared, his voice booming, "Truly worthy of being sons of the Feng family! The younger generation possesses courage and integrity, and the elders are understanding and reasonable. With such a family tradition, how can our clan not prosper? As long as we weather this calamity, the Feng family will surely flourish in the future. Even if I perish today, what is there to fear as long as I can preserve the flame of the Feng family?"

The eyes of everyone in the hall instantly turned red.

They rallied, each with a fearless and resolute spirit in their eyes.

Feng Xichen said sternly, "The younger generation of the family shall evacuate immediately. The rest of you, follow me to fight the enemy."

With a command given, dozens of beams of spiritual light shot into the sky above the Feng family's ancestral home, and not a single one of the elderly, pillar-of-the-line cultivators turned around.

Even though it was destined to be a moth drawn to a flame, at this moment, this not-so-powerful cultivation family unleashed an unprecedented ferocity.

...I'm the dividing line for the female lead who doesn't appear unless she's on a specific note...hehe!
