"Senior, I'm a member of the Tianhuang Mercenary Group and got separated from my team. Could you please be kind enough to escort me back to Tianhuang City?" the woman pleaded loudly.

"No way, I have other matters to attend to. I'm leaving!" Qin Feng shook his head without hesitation.

What a joke, saving her from Qin Longbin was already a stroke of luck for her.

Unexpectedly, she even wanted him to escort her back to Tianhuang City.

This woman really didn't know when to quit.

With that, Qin Feng continued to stride forward!

However, just then, the woman's voice came from behind again, "You're that useless young master from the Qin Family, Qin Feng, aren't you? Right now, the Qin Family's guards are searching everywhere for you. If I spread the word about your whereabouts, what do you think will happen to you?"

"Hmm?" Qin Feng's expression darkened upon hearing this.

He abruptly turned around, glaring coldly at the woman, and demanded harshly, "What do you mean by that?"

"Haha, it's simple. You have two choices: either escort me back to the city yourself, or I'll capture you and take you back..." The woman sneered at Qin Feng, looking as if she had him in the palm of her hand.

It turned out this woman's name was Lu Fei, the sister of Lu Long, the leader of the Tianhuang Mercenary Group!

She had met Qin Hao by chance at a banquet.

The Tianhuang Mercenary Group she belonged to was merely a medium-sized force within Tianhuang City!

Compared to the giant-like Qin Family, it was far inferior!

Lu Fei had always wanted to cozy up to Qin Hao but never had the chance!

Because with her looks, she couldn't catch Qin Hao's eye at all!

Even if she threw herself at him, Qin Hao couldn't be bothered.

This time, encountering Qin Feng, she immediately recalled the rumors of Qin Hao being beaten up by Qin Feng.

She thought her opportunity had come!

As long as she brought Qin Feng to Qin Hao, wouldn't Qin Hao be overjoyed?

By then, with Qin Hao's protection, the Tianhuang Mercenary Group would surely flourish.

So, she wanted Qin Feng to escort her back to the city.

Once they reached the territory of the Tianhuang Mercenary Group, Qin Feng would be unable to escape even with wings!

Unfortunately, Qin Feng didn't take the bait!

As for Qin Feng saving her just now, she had long thrown that to the back of her mind.

Compared to immense benefits, what was a mere life-saving grace?

Moreover, Qin Feng was just a Mystic Warrior 3rd Heaven level wastrel.

The reason he could take down Qin Longbin earlier was due to using a poison pill.

If Qin Feng dared to make a move against her, she only needed to block her six senses in advance to remain unharmed.

Thinking of this, Lu Fei immediately chose to turn hostile without hesitation, exposing Qin Feng's identity.

"You really are a heartless woman. I just saved you, and this is how you repay me?"

Qin Feng's face was as cold as water. Suddenly, his body flickered, and he swiftly appeared in front of Lu Fei, staring at her with murderous intent!

"Haha, what? You, a wastrel, want to fight me?" Lu Fei sneered disdainfully, "I advise you not to act rashly, or you'll be the one to suffer in the end!"

With that, Lu Fei focused her mind and quickly blocked her six senses.

Then she waved her right hand, lightning-fast, aiming to grab Qin Feng's right shoulder!

Since Qin Feng was being uncooperative, she would capture him and take him back.

With Qin Feng in hand, she could get closer to Qin Hao and reap great rewards.

"Alas!" Seeing Lu Fei reaching for him, Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh secretly!

He didn't expect this woman to be so heartless and ungrateful.

He had just saved her, and she didn't hesitate to turn against him.

She truly was a typical White-Eyed Wolf.

However, Qin Feng wasn't too surprised!

After all, when he used to beg on the streets, what hadn't he encountered?

For the sake of benefits, fathers and sons killed each other, brothers turned against one another, sisters fell out...

Such things were countless.

In the end, it boiled down to one word—benefits!

If the benefits were sufficient, any nonsense about morality and gratitude would be thrown aside.

Although Qin Feng despised this, he had no choice but to accept this harsh reality.

Having seen such things often, he naturally became accustomed to them.

Seeing Lu Fei's right hand about to land on his shoulder.

Qin Feng didn't hesitate to raise his right hand and threw a fierce punch.

Bang!

Crack!

"Ugh..." Amidst a piercing scream, Lu Fei's right arm broke, and she flew backward like a scarecrow!

She flew dozens of meters before landing heavily on the ground.

Blood spurted from her mouth as she struggled to get up, staring at Qin Feng with disbelief, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, aren't you the Qin Family's useless young master? How did you suddenly become so powerful?"

She had thought Qin Feng was just a wastrel, only capable of using poison pills to scheme against people!

His true strength was merely Mystic Warrior 3rd Heaven.

Never did she expect that Qin Feng was a dual cultivator of body and martial arts, deeply hidden!

With just his physical strength, he could easily defeat her.

"Run!" Snapping out of her shock, Lu Fei turned without a word and fled desperately toward the outskirts of the Tianhuang Mountain Range!

She had miscalculated!

"Trying to run?" Qin Feng's gaze turned cold, and he stomped the ground hard, executing Whirlwind Step to its fullest.

With a few flashes, he had successfully caught up to Lu Fei.

Without a word, he clenched his right fist and punched Lu Fei's back fiercely.

"Ah!" Lu Fei spat out a mouthful of blood, tracing a crimson arc through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

The ground was covered in thorns, tearing her flesh to shreds.

"Die!" Qin Feng leaped into the air, descending from above, and stomped hard on Lu Fei's head!

"Spare me..." Lu Fei's pupils contracted sharply, begging frantically for mercy!

But before she could finish, a large sole filled her vision.

With a bang!

Lu Fei's head burst open, her soul scattered.

Qin Feng disdainfully wiped the blood from his sole on the grass beside him, then took Lu Fei's Storage Ring.

His divine sense probed inside, and his eyes lit up!

Unexpectedly, Lu Fei was quite the little rich lady.

The Storage Ring contained quite a lot.

Besides tens of thousands of silver notes and over a thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, there were also hundreds of herbs.

Evergreen Flower, Blood Mushroom Grass, Purple Orchid Grass, Scarlet Gold Ginseng...

And that Scarlet Gold Ginseng was another main ingredient for refining the Bone Cleansing Elixir.

Thumb-sized, resembling a ginseng doll, it emitted a rich fragrance.

Even a light whiff gave one a sense of refreshment.

Now with the Scarlet Gold Ginseng and Blood Mushroom Grass, Qin Feng only needed to find four auxiliary materials to successfully refine the Bone Cleansing Elixir.

It was truly a great unexpected joy.

In fact, Qin Feng didn't know that most of the herbs in Lu Fei's Storage Ring were found by the Tianhuang Mercenary Group members at great cost.

Since Lu Fei was the sister of the mercenary group's leader, those members naturally handed the items over to her.

But now, they all benefited Qin Feng.

Qin Feng put away the items, cast a cold glance at Lu Fei's corpse, and quickly left.

Before long, the high-pitched roars of demonic beasts echoed from behind.

Clearly, the demonic beasts had smelled the blood and were quickly approaching.

Lu Fei's body was likely already devoured.

"Now my main task is to find the Astral Returning Flower. Once I find it, I can find a safe place to retreat, improve my alchemy skills, and refine the Bane Breaking Pill!"

Qin Feng thought happily, his steps light as he traversed the forest...
