Though my disciple had said that this guy still has his uses which was why she had spared his life, that does not mean that I'm willing to leave it at just that!
Elder Huang's expression has changed drastically. His eyes filled with malice as he said, "My daughter has now become a good-for-nothing thanks to your disciple and I've nearly lost an arm as well. I've kowtowed and apologized to her. I've also written a letter of confession. What more do you want?"
Bai Zhongtian scoffed and stared arrogantly at Elder Huang, "Have you gone deaf? Did you not hear me? I'm here to cripple you!"
"You..."
Elder Huang nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. He glared fiercely at Bai Zhongtian, gritted his teeth and said, "The two of you better stop being so unsatisfied with your gains!"
"Hahaha!"
Bai Zhongtian laughed maniacally, "That matter had been previously handled by my disciple so what does it have to do with me? What does being unsatisfied with small gains even mean? This is the very first time that I've come to you to ask for payment so how is that being unsatisfied with small gains?"
Elder Huang wanted to explode each time he saw the shameless look on that old man's face but, in the end, he decided to suppress his anger.
He was only a low-level Martial Supreme and Bai Zhongtian was already a mid-level Martial Supreme. Even though they were only one level apart, the difference in power was like a vast gulf between them. If they were to fight, he would be of no match for the man in front of him.
Therefore, Elder Huang took a deep breath and suppressed the anger within his heart. He then softened his tone of voice and said, "Holy Doctor, Fei'er had been in the wrong in this whole matter. I've already punished her and she knows her mistakes. Furthermore, she no longer has any powers and is now a good-for-nothing. You would refuse to spare us both?"
"Hmph!"
Bai Zhongtian scoffed icily and a look of disdain flashed across his face, "If you have wiped the hatred from your eyes, perhaps I might even have believed your words. Unfortunately, your eyes have betrayed you! I know that you must be aching to kill me and Yun'er and I can also understand why you feel this way. However, that would first include the fact that you have any powers in the first place!"
"Bai Zhongtian!"
When Elder Huang realized that the old man had seen through his deepest and darkest thoughts, he no longer tried to suppress his anger and replied furiously, "Both you and your disciple have such cruel hearts, are you not afraid of retribution?"
"Retribution?" Bai Zhongtian sneered and replied with disdain, "If I were to face retribution after crippling you, that only proves that the gods are blind! Who would want to obey such blind gods?"
Elder Huang clenched his fist, he has already cursed Bai Zhongtian a thousand times over in his heart. Just as he was thinking of a way to escape, a soft laugh suddenly sounded. It was crystal clear like a black-naped oriole, beautiful and moving.
"The Medicine Sect sure is bustling with noise and excitement, I wonder if I've arrived too late?"
As the figure descended to the ground, few other figures also suddenly appeared in the sky.
The person at the frontmost of the group was a woman who was dressed in green robes which fluttered elegantly. She held an emerald-green flute in her hand as she slowly descended from the sky. This woman in green was followed by a group of beautiful maidservants. Hence, the elderly figures amidst the beautiful maidservants was obviously very eye-catching.
"Elder Feng!"
Huang Chuan's eyes sparkled when he saw the grey-robed elder. He then quickly cried out, "Elder Feng, quick, come and save me!"

Elder Feng?
Bai Zhongtian wrinkled his brows and turned to face the countless guests behind him. His was slightly startled upon seeing who they were.
If my senses are in order, these people hold great power within their bodies. Even their maidservants are extremely powerful! On this entire mainland, there's only one place that contains so many powerful cultivators.
Bai Zhongtian took a deep breath at that thought and spoke with a stern look in his eyes, "Ladies and gentlemen, if my guess is right, you must be from the First City's Wind Valley?"
The man whom Huang Chuan had addressed as Elder Feng glanced at Bai Zhongtian when he heard those words. However, when he sensed Bai Zhongtian's power, a hint of disdain flashed across his eyes.
Nonetheless, he did not show his disdain at all. His elderly voice remained stern and severe as he stood behind the woman in green like a revered god of war.
"That's right," The woman in green smiled gently. Her behavior was elegant and graceful with no sign of arrogance at all, "We are from Wind Valley. We heard that someone from the Medicine Sect has uncovered a pill formula so we wanted to come by and join in on the fun. I wonder if the Medicine Sect's Master would welcome us?"
As she spoke, her gaze turned to look at a patch of the sky not too far away. Her beautiful eyes were filled with smiles and her voice was like a Black-naped Oriole, clear and moving. It was an indulgence to listen to her speak.
"Hahaha, Eldest Lady Feng Xiaoxiao of Wind Valley, you certainly have a sharp wit. Since you've all personally made an appearance, why should I refuse your presence?"
A bout of loud laughter pierced through the air. Soon, they all saw the Medicine Sect's Master, Gao Lin, slowly appearing out of thin air. The meaning behind his choice of words was obvious, he was implying that they were all uninvited guests.
"Feng Xiaoxiao?"
Bai Zhongtian shuddered. Even though he had never been to the First City, he still has some measure of understanding towards the powers within the First City. Feng Xiaoxiao was the Lord of Wind Valley's daughter and has become the Young Valley Lord at a very young age. The full measure of her power was a profound mystery.
He did not expect Feng Xiaoxiao to personally show up as the representative of Wind Valley!
This time, it looks like it would no longer be so easy to obtain the Northern Block Territory!
Even though the Eldest Lady of Wind Valley does not have a lot of interest in the territories outside her city, she would certainly be interested in pill formulas. Besides, based on Feng Xiaoxiao's exclamation, their objective here was definitely for the sake of the pill formula!
"Sect Master, you are too kind." Feng Xiaoxiao smiled and she did not show any anger towards Gao Lin's rude words. She maintained a warm smile on her beautiful face which was as gentle as a spring breeze, "This time, I've indeed arrived uninvited. It's really all because of that pill formula, it's simply too alluring to me. I had no choice but to thicken my skin and make a trip to the Medicine Sect as a guest for the sake of that pill formula."
Initially, Gao Lin had a few more things he wanted to say but after hearing Feng Xiaoxiao's words, he began to feel embarrassed and was momentarily unable to speak up.
"Hmph!" Bai Zhongtian, however, paid no attention to the power of Wind Valley. He scoffed icily as he said, "I don't care what the Wind Valley's objectives are, Huang Chuan had bullied my disciple so I won't let him off so easily!"
Huang Chuan was Wind Valley's spy in the outside world. This was not really a secret amongst the members of the Medicine Sect so when he heard Bai Zhongtian's words, Elder Feng furrowed his brows and sent an ugly look towards Bai Zhongtian.
"Huang Chuan is a member of Wind Valley. If you wish to lay your hands on him, you would need to ask our permission!"

Bai Zhongtian now has a very ugly look on his face and he was close to spitting fire. Gao Lin noticed the look on his face and nearly jumped in shock. He quickly grabbed Bai Zhongtian's shoulder and whispered into his ear.
"You better hold it in for a while, the cultivators of Wind Valley are just too powerful. Besides, these people are all at the rank of a Martial Supreme and above! Even if we were to join forces, we would be no match for them. If you really want to retaliate against Elder Huang, wait for them to leave first. You need to understand that the First City has its rules and most Martial Supremes cannot leave the city so easily. These people must have their reasons for coming here but once they've left this time, it would not be so easy for them to return the next time."
Wind Valley has sent their Martial Supremes. They could resist them for a while if they joined forces and besides, there was also the highly-abnormal Grand Lord Hong Lian.
However, Gao Lin was right about one thing, the First City would not normally allow any Martial Saints to go out of the city so easily. This time, Feng Xiaoxiao must have gone through a lot of trouble to obtain permission. If she were to leave now, it would be unknown when she would be allowed to come out of the city again.
Bai Zhongtian was at a loss, he was not afraid of the First City's cultivators but he was afraid of dragging Gu Ruoyun down with him! What if one of his brash moves were to drag his precious disciple down? He would regret this for the rest of his life!
Hence, Bai Zhongtian swallowed his anger!
I'll collect Elder Huang's debt once these people leave!
"Eldest Lady Feng," Gao Lin smiled as he faced Feng Xiaoxiao's devastatingly beautiful face and said, "If my guess is right, you had not journeyed from the First City only for the sake of the pill formula, there should be another reason."
If the reason had merely been because of the pill formula, there would be no need for Feng Xiaoxiao to make a personal appearance. She only needed to send Wind Valley's physician instead of making the extra trip herself.
So, she must have made this journey because she had a more important matter at hand.
"Sect Master Gao, it goes without saying that you are indeed very astute." Feng Xiaoxiao smiled, "Aside from the pill formula, my trip from the First City has other objectives but this matter does not concern the Medicine Sect. There's no need to trouble yourself."
I had gone through great trouble this time to obtain the permission to leave the First City! Would I have done this solely for the sake of a pill formula? Definitely not!
It was just as Gao Lin had said, if this were purely for the sake of the pill formula, as the Eldest Lady of Wind Valley, she need not make the trip personally.
"May I then be so bold as to ask, Lady Feng, what are your objectives for this trip? If we don't fully understand the truth, I'm afraid that a lot of people would feel unsettled." Though Gao Lin was afraid of Wind Valley's power, he had voiced his suspicions anyway.
Since Feng Xiaoxiao had personally made the trip out of the First City, the entire mainland would feel very uncomfortable once this gets out.
"Outrageous!"
Elder Feng's expression sank instantly and he shot a sharp glare at Gao Lin, "This is not a question for you to ask, you will suffer a great calamity if you continue to question us!"
"Elder Feng," Feng Xiaoxiao waved her hand and stopped Elder Feng's sharp bellows. She then slowly turned her beautiful eyes towards Gao Lin and replied with a smile, "This isn't exactly a secret, I've left the First City to look for someone."
"To look for someone?"
Gao Lin was stunned. However, he felt a little more assured upon hearing Feng Xiaoxiao's explanation.
"That's right. To look for someone."
Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes were distracted as her heart clouded with sadness and the smile on her lips was tinged with a bitter taste.
Am I truly not outstanding enough? Otherwise, why had I been unable to behold that man's gaze? Furthermore, he has never even bothered to look at me at all. Nevertheless, I'm not asking for much, I only wish to stay by his side.
I'm afraid... That he doesn't love me.
