In the depths of the Cloudmist Mountain …
Peng peng peng!
A figure was sent flying, and his back crashed into a boulder. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and large mouthfuls of blood spurted from his mouth.
That person had lost an arm, and more than a dozen of his ribs were fractured. He looked like he was on the verge of death.
Facing him was a massive ape-type saint beast. Its body was pitch black, and its fists were thick and powerful.
"I haven't gotten my hands on the Cloudmist Flower yet, so I can't die yet!"
Gritting his teeth, the ape-type saint beast crawled out from the boulder once more. Gazing into the distance, he continued dashing forward.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was still able to hold on, the ape-type saint beast harrumphed coldly as it blew out a scorching hot gust of air from its thick nose.
Having reached the level of a saint beast, it was already capable of speaking the human tongue.
It had met the fellow before it an hour ago, and it had thought that a Saint 1-dan intermediate stage fellow would be able to scare the other party off with just two punches. Even if the other party didn't die, he would at least piss his pants and flee for his life.
Never in its wildest dreams did it expect that the other party... would ignore his injuries and continue dashing forward.
In the end, that fellow had suffered more than twenty punches.
Facing such powerful punches, even a Saint expert of the same cultivation realm as it would have been frightened to the point where they wouldn't have been able to hold on any longer. Yet, that fellow paid no heed to it at all. As soon as he recovered some of his stamina, he would charge forward with all his might, reminiscent of an indestructible vajra. Even the ape-type saint beast was dumbfounded.
Hong long!
The ape-type saint beast sent the human crashing into the ground once more, breaking many of his bones in the process.
Pu pu pu!
Fresh blood spurted from the mouth of the human, and it felt as if his internal organs were about to be spat out. Yet, in the next instant, he dashed forward once more.
"What in the world is that fellow up to?"
The ape-type saint beast was completely bewildered.
Be it humans, spirit beasts, or saint beasts, all of them had deep respect for life. This fellow's actions were no different from courting death.
"Soon... I'll be reaching the area where the Cloudmist Flower grows soon..."
Paying no heed to the thoughts of the Ancient Ape, Wei Changfeng climbed up from the ground once more. Scanning his surroundings, a glimmer of hope shone in his eyes.
Initially, he had planned to sneak into the mountain range and leave after obtaining a stalk of Cloudmist Flower. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that he would be discovered, not to mention that he would attract the attention of such a powerful fellow.
To be honest, he was the head of the Spirit Emporium, and he had plenty of treasures in his possession. If he were to turn tail and flee upon seeing that fellow, he would surely be able to do so as well. However … if he were to do so, it would be impossible for him to obtain the Cloudmist Flower!
This item could be traded for a Ten-leafed Flower, and it could save his daughter's life. Even if he had to die, he had to obtain it!
Bang!
Struck once more, Wei Changfeng tumbled several times before falling to the ground. He felt his strength weakening, as if it would leave his body at any moment.
Vaguely, he seemed to see a figure waving at him.
…
"Although we haven't seen him or her and don't know if he or she is a boy or a girl, he or she is our child. Even if we die, we can't let him or her be harmed!"
She sat down cross-legged with tears streaming down her cheeks. Turning around, she said, "I know that you love me and will respect my choice …"
"No …" Wei Changfeng waved his hands anxiously. However, his strength had been sealed, and he was lying on the ground, unable to move at all.
"I am already severely injured, and I don't have much longer to live. I am willing to use my life to protect him or her …"
With a deep cry, the lady channeled all of her strength into her abdomen, and her child was successfully born. A resounding cry echoed throughout the entire cavern …
Finally, he broke free from the seal, and the lady, who had already lost all of her strength, lay in his embrace with a faint smile on her lips. "Changfeng, you must take good care of our child and bring up our daughter. This way, even if I die, I will be able to rest in peace …"
Before she could finish her words, she had already left.
…
A 6-star physician shook his head and said, "Your daughter suffered an attack while she was still in the womb. I'm afraid that she won't live past three months!"
Wei Changfeng gritted his teeth.
This was something that she had traded her life for. If she were to die, how could he face the woman he had loved so deeply?
He looked around for medical help and help.
"The spirit of the artifact can extend her life, but … she won't be able to live for too long!" a 6-star pinnacle physician said.
"As long as she can live, I am willing to pay any price …" Wei Changfeng clenched his fists tightly.
He had opened the Spirit Emporium to collect artifacts, and as soon as he found the location of an artifact, he would even make a move to snatch it …
Finally …
Her body seemed to be in a much better state.
"Father …"
A tender voice sounded by his ear. Wei Changfeng's eyes reddened, and he felt that it was all worth it no matter how much he had to pay!
Because … this was his daughter!
And this was his daughter!
…
"Where's mother?"
A seven to eight-year-old girl asked doubtfully. The frown on her face was identical to Wei Changfeng's.
"She … has gone to a faraway place …"
Hugging his daughter, Wei Changfeng, a Saint realm expert, felt his eyes reddening for some reason.
…
"Father, am I going to make it? I feel so tired, so sleepy … "
"You are fine, you are fine! Even if I have to give up my life, I will save you …"
Wei Changfeng roared.
"This Ten-leafed Flower can save your daughter," the young master said.
"I need a Cloudmist Flower. If you can bring me one within two days, I can give you the Ten-leafed Flower!" Vice School Head You nodded.
…
"I can't die yet. If I die, without the Ten-leafed Flower, Ruyan will surely die as well!"
Wei Changfeng struggled for a moment before getting to his feet once more.
If not for the Cloudmist Flower, his daughter wouldn't have been able to withstand so many heavy blows. He had no idea why the Ancient Ape and Zhang Xuan were doing this, but he knew that … it was for his daughter!
She was more important than his life!
"It shouldn't be too long now …"
Wei Changfeng leaped forward and circled around a hill. All of a sudden, the clouds before him dissipated, and a white flower appeared before his eyes.
"Cloudmist Flower …"
Wei Changfeng exclaimed in agitation.
He had spent so much effort searching for this flower, and at this moment, he finally saw it!
Peng!
Just as he was about to rush forward to pluck the flower, the Ancient Ape kicked him in the back.
Falling to the ground once more, Wei Changfeng felt his life slowly slipping away from his body. He was already at his limits.
"I must get it …"
Climbing to his feet once more, he walked up to the white flower, plucked it, and placed it into a jade box.
Hu!
In an instant, he heaved a sigh of relief, and his lips curled up.
At this moment, no matter how severe his injuries were, it was all worth it.
With this, the young master would be able to save his daughter's life. Even if he were to die, he would be able to tell her that he had done it!
"Just for a stalk of … Cloudmist Flower?"
Seeing the satisfied smile on the face of the human, the Ancient Ape couldn't believe its eyes.
It thought that the other party was willing to sacrifice his life for it, but to think that it was just for this flower …
For a Saint realm cultivator to sacrifice his life for a stalk of tea leaf … Was it really worth it?
Wei Changfeng chuckled softly.
As a saint beast, how could it possibly understand the emotions of a human?
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan dashed down the mountain.
Since he had already obtained the Cloudmist Mountain, there was no need for him to stay any longer.
"Hmph, regardless of what you are here for, the Cloudmist Mountain isn't a place where you can come and go as you please! Stay right here! "
Roaring furiously, the Ancient Ape charged forward and swiped its massive claws at Wei Changfeng.
Puhe!
Severely injured, Wei Changfeng was unable to withstand the attack at all. His chest was pierced through, and fresh blood flowed profusely.
"I …"
Wei Changfeng's body trembled uncontrollably. He wanted to resist, but he realized that he didn't have the slightest bit of strength left.
His body had already reached its limit!
A huge suction force came from an unknown place, as if it was going to suck his soul in at any time.
"Is this death? I should be able to … see her now, right? "
Wei Changfeng's consciousness gradually blurred, and his soul felt as if it would leave his body at any moment and enter that unknown space.
"Wei Changfeng!"
Just as he was about to die, a figure suddenly flew over with an anxious voice.
"Young master?"
Wei Changfeng was taken aback. "Why are you here? It's dangerous here …"
He didn't dare to tell the young master about the situation on the Cloudmist Mountain because he was afraid that the other party would follow him. Otherwise, if something were to happen to his daughter, no one would be able to save her!
But … why did he still come?
"Dangerous? Why didn't you tell me about it? "
Seeing how a Saint realm subordinate whom he had just taken in ended up in such a state, on the verge of death, Zhang Xuan bellowed furiously.
Following the trail, the Myriad Anthive Queen finally caught sight of it and rushed over.
However, it was already too late!
Zhang Xuan hurriedly carried the other party up and placed his finger on the other party's pulse. He immediately felt that the other party's life force had already dissipated. Even with his 6-star pinnacle medical skills, he was unable to save the other party!
Grasping the other party's pulse, Zhang Xuan infused his Heaven's Path zhenqi into the other party's body, only to realize that the latter was as if a tattered gunny sack.
"Young master, stop wasting time. I … can't hold on any longer!"
Flicking his wrist, Zhang Xuan passed a jade box over. "This is the Cloudmist Flower. Take it and exchange it for the Ten-leafed Flower …"
"You …"
Not expecting this fellow to risk his life for the Cloudmist Flower, Zhang Xuan's face turned livid.
"You must save her …" Wei Changfeng's voice grew fainter and fainter.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely save her so that she can live a normal, no, better life than that of a normal person …"
Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth.
"Thank you, Young Master …"
Wei Changfeng nodded. His body suddenly went limp, and his soul was sucked into the unknown space. At the same time, he breathed his last.
"Changfeng …"
Seeing this subordinate of his, Zhang Xuan roared furiously as his eyes reddened.
At this moment, how could he not understand the other party's motive?
For his daughter!
That was … fatherly love!
The purest and most selfless love in the world!
"Human, this isn't a place where you can come and go as you please …"
Seeing another person charging over, the Ancient Ape bellowed furiously, not putting him in its eyes at all.
"Not a place where I can come and go as I please? I don't intend to come and go as I please either! "Zhang Xuan raised his head." You are the one who killed Wei Changfeng? You shall pay with your life then! "
With a cold and vicious gaze, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist.
Huala!
In an instant, more than twenty Saint realm puppets appeared on the ground and charged toward the Ancient Ape.
"Beat it to death!"
