Wang Feng squated down in front of Cheng Shao Feng and looked at him in the eyes, with his own cold ones, "you dare threaten me?". Although his voice was soft, it sent a chill of terror down Cheng Shao Feng's spine.
Cheng Shao Feng looked up in fear. His body shook as he 'saw' red miasma emitting from Wang Feng, which took shape of a few beasts and a demonic looking skeleton. He felt his vision narrowing down till he saw only Wang Feng and the various red miasmic images.
These images were the manifestation of Wang Feng's Killing Aura that took form of the beasts he had killed along with the Unyielding Golden Skeleton. Although this aura wasn't too potent, but it was still too much for noobs like Cheng Shao Feng and the Storm Manor disciples.
Wang Feng reached out and ready to teach this guy a lesson. But he stopped as he heard a voice behind him. "Stop right there! Do you think you can bully people of Storm Manor!"
Still facing Cheng Shao Feng, Wang Feng tilted his head to the side, avoiding a saber. He tilted his body and punched to the side, hitting the person holding the saber in the stomach.
"Ghhh!", the figure flew back in the air with an arced back. Wang Feng stood straight and looked at the unexpected attacker.
"Only 5th Stage Initial Element Realm? And you still dare to attack me?", Wang Feng snorted as he looked at the newcomer who was currently holding his stomach and looking at him with wide eyes.
At the side, Su Mu and his followers looked at the newcomer and we're surprised, "Young Master, isn't that new guy, Nu Tao?", one of Su Mu's followers asked him. Su Mu nodded while blinking his eyes, "heh, it is.... But too bad, he chose the wrong day to help that guy Cheng Shao Feng."
Wang Feng heard this and understood who this guy was. So he lost interest and looked at the newcomer indifferently, "So, you wanted to save your juniors after they nearly killed mine? My my, what a glorious guy."
Nu Tao's face turned even uglier when he heard this and as if on cue, Su Mu and his followers started moaning in groaning in pain saying, "Senior Brother, these guys ganged up on us and surprise attacked us, you have to teach them a lesson!"
Wang Feng inwardly gave them a thumbs up and sprang and not action, "So, it is like that... Then, be prepared for the consequences.", Immediately, his body turned into a shadowy figure as he appeared behind Nu Tao and punch him using his technique Focus Punch.
Before Nu Tao could react, he felt a punch connect on his back, but that wasn't all. As the punch connected, a great burst of force went through his body, making him cough out blood and send him launching into the trees in the distance. He groaned but tried to stand up, but found it difficult because he felt a great amount of pain in his spine, obviously injured from the earlier punch.
"You.... Who are you?", Nu Tao asked in fear as the other disciples of Strom Manor were frozen in place. Wang Feng stood in his place and looked at Nu Tao with a smirk, "me?.... Hmm. I'm... Your ancestor!"
Nu Tao's eyes widened as he saw Wang Feng walk towards him with a sinister grin on his face.
A few minutes later, screams of anger, pain, humiliation and shame echoed the forest around the pathway.
....
Wang Feng, Su Mu and his followers were walking towards the sect with unhurried steps, with Su Mu being supported by his followers.
"Senior Brother Wang, where can I find you later?", Su Mu asked with a smile, that his followers also mirrored, still remembering how Wang Feng had beaten the Storm Manor disciples before stripping them and tying them to the tress, naked.
Wang Feng smiled and answered, "you can find me in my cabin and if I am not there, go to Treasurer Meng, he will know where I will be.", after he had saved Su Mu and his lackeys, they had expressed their gratitude with awe and excitement on their faces.
During the walk, the group talked and had formed a sense of familiarity and conversed like they knew each other from long ago.
As for why Wang Feng didn't tell them about his usual place of cultivation? Well, the thing is... He f*cking cultivates in the forbidden area of the sect, which no normal disciple would enter unless forced.
After hearing Wang Feng's words, Su Mu's eyes flashed with surprise and slightly shock, "You mean that old man with a weird temper?"
Wang Feng chuckled and nodded, "the very same.", he looked forward and saw that they had reached the sect. So he turned to them and said his farewell before he walked away.
....
Walking into his cabin, he sat down cross-legged on his bed and sighed before closing his eyes and started cultivating. He opened his eyes an hour later, "hmm... My foundation is completely fine, even more solid than before."
"Now I have reached the 3rd Stage of Qi Sea Realm, having progressed into it quite fairly as well. The next step is to break through the 4th Stage and prepare for 'that'", he muttered to himself and looked inside his inventory.

Aside from these things, he also had his refined weapons along with the two Earth-Grade ones he got from killing the two disciples in the Black Wind Mountain, a bunch of herbs (Common and Earth Grade ones) and the bodies of Beasts he had killed, such as that Gold Balze Lion.
His eyes travelled through the list of things in his inventory, seeing all his current assets. He gaze paused at the Ores, the Weapons, the Pills, particularly the Qi Gathering Pills, Profound Qi Pills and Yin-Yang Balancing Pill, and his Spirit Stones.
He wasn't surprised at the sudden rise of his Spirit Stones as he already knew the reason.
When he had seen Su Mu getting beaten with no signs of Yang Kai showing up, he prepared himself to intervene. Just at that moment, he had gotten a new mission, which was;
———————————————————
{A-Note: didn't add the 1-3 Missions as the were the same. If you don't remember them then you can check them out in the new Auxiliary Chapter 'Current Main Missions'}
4) Save Su Mu (✓)
[Description: As a fellow disciple, you can't just watch as your junior gets thrashed and possibly killed by others! Save your junior brother and help him vent his grievances!]
[Reward: 1000 Spirit Stones]
———————————————————
After it's completion, which was after he had bound the group to the tree, he had gained the 1000 spirit stones directly into his inventory.
After looking at the inventory, he pulled out a bunch of spirit stones and 5 Qi Gathering Pills before placing them on the bed in front of him. 'with these, I might be able to reach the peak of the 3rd stage.'
With that in thought, Wang Feng popped a Qi Gathering Pill into his mouth and started circulating his technique. As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it started dissolving into a stream of Qi that circulated his Meridians and Pulses before entering and assimilating into his Qi Sea.
A Qi Gathering Pill was your usual pill made by solidifying a purified essence of non-attributed herbs, allowing the cultivators to absorb it's essence without any need of purification by techniques. As for the amount of medical power in a pill, it ranged according to the number of impurities in it.
The pills that Wang Feng was currently using was given to him by the system and although they didn't have any Pill Veins or Pill Clouds, it had 0 impurities in it, making it several times easier to absorb as well as having a medical power comparable to 4-8 spirit stones.
Though this amount of energy certainly exceeded the limit of the pill, which should only be at 4 spirit stones max.
It is estimated that if the pill of this purity was introduced to the small world, it would be used as a prized treasure by powerful clans to train their prodigies, making it scarce.
Feeling the bursting medical energy running into his Dantian, Wang Feng wasn't fazed, instead, he waved his hand. The spirit stones on the bed floated before forming a circle around him. With a thought, he withdrew 12 small flags from his inventory, each hovering over a spirit stone.
As soon as the flags took their place, a slight glowing circle formed under Wang Feng. The next instant, Qi from all the Spirit Stones rushed out, pouring into the center of the circle, which was Wang Feng.
Wang Feng groaned slightly when he felt the Qi from the dozen spirit stones rush into his body like a flood. Now, along with the pill's medical energy, two stream of Qi/energy were pouring into his body and into his Dantian.
The Qi in his Dantian grew in volume at a speed that was (would have been) visible to the naked eyes. But, along with the massive surge of Qi came the burden of controlling it efficiently without overpowering his Qi Circulation System.
Wang Feng grinded his teeth for a few minutes before he eventually got used to the surging torrent of Qi gushing into his body. Time passed as he continued cultivating, not registering anything from the outside world.
He poured one pill after the other while replacing the spirit stones after they become exhausted. Like this, he spent 8 days cultivating. His cultivation rose by leaps and bounds with the burning of resources which would be regarded as one of the highest sought after treasures in the Warraying Clan World.
....
Wang Feng woke up from his cultivation and opened his eyes. He smiled as he felt his Dantian full of Qi.
I the past 8 days, he had went from the beginning of 3rd stage Qi Sea Realm to it's Peak. Now, breaking through the 4th Stage was just around the corner, he just needed to strike at the right time.
He raised his hand, making the 12 flags floating around him rush back to him, landing on his palm. He smiled as he gazed at the flags before putting them into his inventory.
These 12 flags were from the set of 48 Easter King Array Flags. Before, he had thought that like every other Mysterious-Grade Artifact, he would have to wait till he broke through the Next Great Realm to refine it.
But later, he found out that he could actually refine these sets of Array Flags individually and would gain complete control of it after refining all 48 flags. So he enthusiastically refined as much flags as he could, which turned out to be 12 flags at the 3rd Stage Qi Sea Realm.
To his estimate, he would be able to refine 24 of them in 4th Stage, 36 in 5th Stage and finally 48 when he reached the Foundation Realm.
Wang Feng stood up from his bed before walking to the door of his apartment and opening it. He was immediately surprised to see a young disciple sleeping at the door for his cabin.
He raised an eyebrow, recognizing the guy as one of Su Mu's followers. 'how long has he been staying here?', Wang Feng wondered as he shook the poor guy awake.
The disciple groaned and yawned before opened his eyes, "ugh, who is i.... Oh! Senior Brother Wang, you're finally out!", the guy jumped up in joy as soon as he saw Wang Feng.
Wang Feng nodded, he already had a guess to why the guy was here so he asked, "why are you even sleeping outside my cabin? Nevermind, where is Su Mu?"
The disciple chuckled wearily while rubbing the back of his head, "hehe, you see. Young Master Su came to visit you a day ago, but you didn't answer the door and we thought you were cultivating so Young Master went to do other works and told me to wait till you came out."
Wang Feng sighed and rubbed his forehead, "and what would done if.... *sigh* forget it, so where would Su Mu be? Go and tell him to meet me near the west pond.", the disciple nodded before rushing to Su Mu.
Wang Feng shook his head and went towards the west pond, a large pond located at the western section of the inner area of the sect.
