"I am your father's friend, and your father is called Li Yuan," Zhou Yan said.
"You... you are his friend, Zhou Yan?" Li Feng was surprised.
"That's right," Zhou Yan nodded.
"But, didn't my father die already?" Li Feng asked, confused.
"It's the same even if he's dead," Zhou Yan said lightly. "However, I've come to find you specifically today. I hope you won't refuse my request."
"No... no... impossible!"
"Zhou Yan, are you crazy? How dare you challenge me!" Li Feng looked incredulous.
"How will you know I can't do it if you don't try?" Zhou Yan grinned.
"Haha! You think you're qualified to spar with me just because you beat me?"
"Yes, but I won't let your plan succeed." With that, Zhou Yan raised his right leg and kicked towards Li Feng.
"Boom!"
Li Feng quickly dodged.
Unfortunately, Li Feng was only at the fifth level of Qi Condensation. Although his strength was above Zhao Xue's, he was far from Zhou Yan. He couldn't evade Zhou Yan's attack at all.
"Plop!"
Li Feng was kicked off the stage by Zhou Yan and fell into a corner of the arena.
Watching Li Feng fall off the stage, Zhao Xue couldn't help but cover her mouth, not daring to believe what she saw.
Zhou Yan had kicked Li Feng off just now, which was simply unbelievable.
"I... I actually lost to a cripple at the fourth level of Qi Condensation," Li Feng said indignantly, getting up.
"Cripple? I never called you a cripple; you're the one who thinks so," Zhou Yan said coldly.
Li Feng was stunned by his words.
Zhou Yan's strength was indeed superior to his. If he hadn't been careless, perhaps he would have truly been defeated.
But all of this was due to his underestimation and arrogance.
"No matter what, I have lost to you today. Regardless of the reason, I must admit defeat!"
Li Feng gritted his teeth, then turned and left.
He was a smart person. Since Zhou Yan was so powerful, he must be a genius among geniuses. He naturally didn't want to offend someone like Zhou Yan.
"However, Zhou Yan, we'll see about this!" Li Feng left these words behind as he departed.
"We'll see, then!"
Zhou Yan pouted dismissively.
Zhao Xue looked at Zhou Yan with shock.
This guy's strength was too terrifying. He had kicked Li Feng off the stage with a single kick. Who was this person? Why did he possess such monstrous strength?
He was practically a monster!
"Who exactly are you?" Zhao Xue couldn't help but ask.
"Well..." Zhou Yan scratched his head. "There's nothing much. My name is Zhou Yan, from the Southern Domain. You can come find me to play anytime!"
After speaking, Zhou Yan turned and left directly.
"You... are you really from the Southern Domain?" Zhao Xue exclaimed. "Then what are you here for?"
"Of course, I'm here to spar with you!" Zhou Yan said, then vanished without a trace.
Zhao Xue stared in the direction Zhou Yan had disappeared for a long time, unable to recover.
"Could it be that he's really a master?"
Such a thought suddenly crossed Zhao Xue's mind.
Immediately, her expression turned strange. "No, absolutely impossible. How could he be a master from the Southern Domain? Masters from the Southern Domain would choose to go to the Northern Domain, so why would they come to the Eastern Continent!"
However, she also felt that it wasn't impossible.
After all, she had witnessed too many miracles.
Just like in this Pill Master Competition, that person named Ye Chenfeng had also displayed extraordinary talent in the Pill Master Competition, even more formidable than her, a proud daughter of heaven.
"No matter what his identity is, what I need to do now is to improve my strength," Zhao Xue thought to herself.
Just as Zhao Xue decided to continue improving her cultivation, Li Feng sat in a carriage with a gloomy expression.
"Father, Zhou Yan's strength is too terrifying. I'm no match for him at all," Li Feng sighed.
"Don't worry about this Zhou Yan. With me here, you have nothing to worry about."
"I'm not worried, it's just..."
"Alright, stop talking. I know what you're worried about."
"Zhou Yan's identity is extraordinary, and you cannot afford to offend him."
"Then what do you mean...?" Li Feng was surprised.
"This matter ends here. In the future, do not interact with him, much less offend him."
"Yes."
"Remember, absolutely do not let anyone know about the conflict between you and Zhou Yan, understand?"
"Yes, Father."
"Good. You may leave now."
"Yes." Li Feng responded and left the carriage.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yan boarded an ordinary carriage.
He never liked being high-profile, so in this aspect, he and Li Feng were polar opposites, completely different.
Soon, two carriages drove into a city.
The city was called Nanyang City, one of the most prosperous cities in Nanyang Prefecture.
The scale of Nanyang City was much larger than that of the Western Region, and Nanyang Prefecture was rich in spiritual energy and abundant in spiritual plants, making cultivation speed faster here.
As Zhou Yan traveled, cultivators they encountered stopped and bowed respectfully.
After all, Zhou Yan was a renowned figure in Nanyang Prefecture.
"Young Master Zhou," a man around thirty years old, riding a black steed, approached Zhou Yan and clasped his fist respectfully.
"Mmm, what's your name?" Zhou Yan nodded slightly and asked.
"Your subordinate, Lin Tian, greets Young Master Zhou!"
"Are you from the Lin family?"
"Indeed. My lady is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Nanyang Prince's manor."
"Oh, I see."
"Is Young Master Zhou from the Northern Domain?" Lin Tian asked curiously.
"Yes, are you also from the Northern Domain?"
"Indeed!"
"What is your cultivation level?" Zhou Yan continued to ask.
"Your subordinate is at the peak of the Xuan-grade, seventh heaven."
"Mmm, this level is already considered a top talent among the younger generation in Nanyang Prefecture. Your strength can be considered first-rate."
"Thank you for the praise, Young Master Zhou!" Lin Tian said humbly.
"Heh heh, you're welcome."
"However, what is your business with me?" Zhou Yan looked at Lin Tian.
"Young Master Zhou, my lady heard that you are here to participate in the Pill Master Competition, so she specially ordered me to invite you to join the Lin family. I hope you will agree!"
"Who is your lady?"
"Nanyang Prefecture's most beautiful woman, Lin Xin Yao!"
"So it's her. I understand," Zhou Yan nodded.
Lin Xin Yao was Nanyang Prefecture's most beautiful woman, the focus of the entire Nanyang Prefecture.
"In that case, Young Master Zhou, please!" Lin Tian said.
"Mmm," Zhou Yan nodded.
Lin Tian immediately led Zhou Yan to the Lin family.
Upon entering the Lin family, Zhou Yan's eyes lit up. The architectural style of the Lin family completely suited Zhou Yan's taste, and it was also extremely luxurious, indicating a significant expenditure.
"Young Master Zhou, this is my residence. Please follow me!"
Saying that, Lin Tian led Zhou Yan further inside.
"Young Master Zhou, please follow your subordinate!" Lin Tian said respectfully.
"Mmm."
Zhou Yan nodded and followed Lin Tian inside.
"Zhou Yan greets Uncle Lin."
Zhou Yan arrived outside a courtyard and cupped his fist, saying.
