Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

The four Martial Cultivators beamed with joy. "Thank you, Brother Dao!" "Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Lv Sandao withdrew his palm, spitting. "Thank my ass! You lot are such cowards. Had I known, I wouldn't have brought you into the valley!"

The four men's faces stiffened. A moment passed, then two of them gradually displayed a fierce look.

"Sect Leader, I'm risking it! I'll contact the other Martial Cultivators with you!"

"Me too!"

Just then, a sudden barking of dogs came from near the valley entrance.

The five of them immediately stood up, peering through the foliage towards the valley entrance.

At the entrance stood a white-haired Daoist with an ethereal aura and, beside him, a stunningly beautiful Daoist Nun, chilly in demeanor. Flanking them were two Dragon Blood Fierce Dogs, growling quietly.

"They look like they're from the Yin Talisman Sect!" one Martial Cultivator whispered.

Lv Sandao observed closely, a spark of anticipation in his eyes. "It's Zhao Yufei of the Yin Talisman Sect, late stage of the Third Layer! That old man... I don't know him! Brothers, our chance is here! The Yin Talisman Sect and Black Tiger Gang have always been at odds. If these two come, there's a high chance they'll clash with Liy Ruofeng. Zhao Yufei might not be a match for Liy Ruofeng, but with the Silver Hook Armor, she can definitely hold off the Stone Snake Demon Venom and the Shadow for a while! If they start fighting, before Zhao Yufei gets killed, we'll find a chance to scatter and escape, then converge at the cave I mentioned!"

The four Martial Cultivators showed a spark of eagerness on their faces at these words.

At this moment, dozens of Martial Cultivators in the valley had already reached the center of the Cold Fragrance Valley, looking towards the entrance.

Among them were Stewards and even Grand Chief Stewards from various sects, most of whom were at the Third Layer in Martial Arts Cultivation.

But under the tyranny of Liy Ruofeng and his men, these Third-Layer experts all had fear in their eyes, their expressions numb and lifeless.

When they saw Lin Xuankong and Zhao Yufei, many recognized this young lady of the Zhao Family from the Yin Talisman Sect. However, no one spoke or discussed it; each still wore a numb expression.

Obviously, no one here considered Zhao Yufei, late stage of the Third Layer, and the old man to be their saviors!

"Zhao Yufei, Lin Xuankong. Instead of waiting for death at the Xun Character Gathering Place, you traveled a thousand miles to my Zhen Character Gathering Place?"

From a two-storied wooden building in the valley, Liy Ruofeng, imposing and wearing a Golden Patterned Tiger Robe, walked out leisurely with a Steward of the Black Tiger Gang.

At one side of the valley entrance, the Black Tiger Gang Steward responsible for guarding, along with a few Martial Cultivators from minor sects friendly with the Black Tiger Gang, slowly surrounded Zhao Yufei.

Zhao Yufei looked at Liy Ruofeng, her chin slightly raised. "Where are Guo Chui and Feng Zhulong?"

As Liy Ruofeng approached them, he snickered at her words. "Isn't my presence, a Vice Hall Master of the Black Tiger Gang, enough?"

With that, he ignored Zhao Yufei, shifting his gaze to Lin Xuankong.

"Lin Xuankong, I heard you killed a Tier Three Marsh Python at the Xun Character Gathering Place. Quite unexpected. You've hidden your strength well, old man!"

Lin Xuankong, upon hearing this, looked somewhat surprised. A Tier Three Marsh Python? It was clearly seven! Did the people from Gu Yue Sect come but not tell the truth?

He frowned. "Where are the people from Gu Yue Sect?"

A cold gleam appeared in Liy Ruofeng's eyes. "The people from Gu Yue Sect are in that wooden building. If you want to see them, come over!"

Lin Xuankong frowned, looking towards the wooden building.

Liy Ruofeng appeared relaxed, but the Black Soul Wondrous Jade in his hand behind his back suddenly flashed with a faint light. Although he didn't consider Lin Xuankong and Zhao Yufei his opponents, how could he not understand the principle of striking first!

Suddenly, behind Lin Xuankong and Zhao Yufei, at the location of the seven stone statues, a shadow quietly twisted. It crept silently towards Zhao Yufei and Lin Xuankong. The hand area of this twisting shadow was dark purple, obviously carrying a special poison.

In the distance, the eyes of the Martial Cultivators, who had seemed indifferent, moved slightly.

They knew Liy Ruofeng's shadow, carrying the Stone Snake Venom, would soon turn the two into stone figures...

Lv Sandao and his men, who still harbored a sliver of hope, frowned deeply upon seeing this, their hearts filled with immense anxiety.

The next moment, Lv Sandao's eyes flashed fiercely. He planned to shout and warn Lin Xuankong and Zhao Yufei.

However, before he could shout, his expression suddenly froze, and he stood stunned!

Because at that moment, he clearly saw Liy Ruofeng—imposing and wearing the Golden Patterned Tiger Robe, the same Liy Ruofeng who had oppressed dozens of powerful Martial Artists into numbness—suddenly begin to tremble all over. Not only was Liy Ruofeng trembling, but his face was also twisting continuously. He then let out a series of extremely horrifying, high-pitched screams, like those of a madwoman, suddenly plopping onto the ground and continuously backing away.

This scene was extremely bizarre.

It was as if Liy Ruofeng was no longer the late-stage Fourth Layer powerhouse of the Great Marsh, but a defenseless, weak woman encountering a fierce robber. It was as if Liy Ruofeng was no longer the terrifying expert possessing the Black Soul Wondrous Jade, but a little mouse that had just stolen oil, encountering a cat that specialized in hunting mice!

Under the utterly shocked gazes of Lv Sandao, the Black Tiger Gang Steward, and dozens of Martial Cultivators, Liy Ruofeng continuously screamed and retreated.
