Strongest Medical Saint

Shen Feng tried to sense the other layers within the ring.

Unfortunately, his probing force was entirely repelled, and his consciousness couldn't penetrate any space beyond the bottom layer.

Seeing this, he withdrew his consciousness from the space within the blood-red ring.

Shen Feng transferred all the items from his original storage ring into this blood-red one.

What was the origin of this mutated ring? After all, it had a notch on it before!

Perhaps that Demon Path Sect knew something about the ring's origin; otherwise, they wouldn't have preserved it in such an extremely precious box.

But since the notch on the ring hadn't self-repaired back then, no matter how one sensed it, the ring wouldn't exhibit any changes. Therefore, the Demon Path Sect certainly hadn't explored the inside of the ring.

If the bottom layer of space within this blood-red ring contains a perpetual pond of Immortal Spirit Water, could the other layers possibly hold other opportunities? Shen Feng's curiosity about the ring on his finger was growing stronger.

He also wondered whether that Demon Path Sect still existed. He felt like paying a visit to see if he could find some clues.

Not wanting to delay any further here,

Shen Feng swept all the remaining boxes in the cultivation chamber into the blood-red ring, planning to sort them out after returning to the Hundred Flower Sect.

As he was preparing to leave the underwater chamber,

Above the lake,

On the shore,

Lu Xueqing's beautiful eyes remained fixed on Bloodthirsty Lake; only after confirming that everything had returned to calm did she let out a relieved breath, not wanting to become food for the Bloodthirsty Ghost Fish.

Suddenly,

Her brows knit tightly as she felt two familiar auras rapidly approaching from afar.

After recognizing the auras, her face changed dramatically. Trying to struggle up from the ground, her legs lacked the strength to stand.

After hesitating for two seconds,

She gritted her teeth and moved back towards the bank of Bloodthirsty Lake, a resolute expression on her face. Indeed, she didn't want to be devoured by the Bloodthirsty Ghost Fish, but she feared being captured by those people even more.

After laboriously shifting her body, a single roll would send her smoothly into Bloodthirsty Lake.

Very soon,

Under the moonlight,

Two figures swiftly entered Lu Xueqing's sight and finally stopped six meters away from her.

The newcomers were an old man and a young one.

The younger one, holding a folding fan and sporting a smug smile upon seeing Lu Xueqing, was Liu Gaolong, the Young Master of the Liu Family from Spirit Water City, and his Cultivation was at the Golden Core Middle Stage.

The other, an elder with a deep scar on his lips and all white hair, was Feng Deyun, a Guest Elder of the Liu Family, at the Half-Step Sea Transformation.

The Liu Family had paid a hefty price to keep Feng Deyun in their family years ago.

In recent years, the situation in Spirit Water City had shifted rapidly.

The Lu Family of the City Lord's Mansion had originally controlled the entire Spirit Water City, but a year ago, the Old Ancestor of the Liu Family broke through to the Sea Transformation Stage. Together with Guest Elder Feng Deyun, they gained the ability to contend with the City Lord's Mansion.

Lu Xueqing was Spirit Water City's prodigy and also the pearl of the City Lord's palm. She held a significant position in the City Lord's Mansion.

This time when Lu Xueqing ventured out for experience, the City Lord's Mansion secretly arranged for a Sea Transformation Initial Stage and a Nascent Variation Initial Stage expert to protect her, which showed how much she meant to the City Lord's heart.

But.

This time, the Liu Family had spent a significant amount of cultivation resources to enlist the help of two Sea Transformation Initial Stage powerhouses, and the Liu Family's Old Ancestor had remained in Spirit Water City all this time, just to reassure the City Lord's Mansion.

With two Sea Transformation Initial Stage powerhouses on their side, plus Feng Deyun, who was at the Half-Step Sea Transformation level, it was naturally possible to overcome the experts secretly protecting Lu Xueqing.

These two Sea Transformation Initial Stage experts had only agreed to help the Liu Family deal with the person protecting Lu Xueqing; as for pursuing her, they would not intervene—that was for the Liu Family to handle themselves.

Liu Gaolong and Feng Deyun looked at Lu Xueqing, who was seriously injured and couldn't even stand, their mouths curling into cold smiles.

"Lu Xueqing, where do you think you can run to this time?" Liu Gaolong said as he approached step by step, his gaze sweeping over her chest and other areas.

He had never been considered a genius in Spirit Water City and had long coveted Lu Xueqing, a true talent, even fantasizing many times about subduing her ferocious spirit and playing with her under him.

Lu Xueqing bit down hard on her silver teeth and exclaimed, "Liu Gaolong, my father and grandfather won't let you get away with this!"

With a "snap!"

Liu Gaolong opened his folding fan and said, "With you in our hands, I don't think your future in-laws will make things difficult for our Liu Family. I think tonight we can celebrate our nuptials right here in the wilderness. To taste Lu Xueqing's body under such circumstances would indeed be a delight."

"Behind you is the Bloodthirsty Lake—do you want to be torn apart by a frenzy of Bloodthirsty Ghost Fish? You'd better just obey me nicely!"

The Liu Family's goal this time was simple: they wanted to take control of Lu Xueqing and have Liu Gaolong possess her first, then slowly train this woman to be obedient.

Given the City Lord of Spirit Water City's affection for Lu Xueqing, they would surely not take action against the Liu Family as long as they held this hostage.

Watching Liu Gaolong getting closer and closer.

Desperation filled Lu Xueqing's beautiful eyes as she shouted, "Despicable and shameless, all of you in the Liu Family are mean and shameless scoundrels!"

In the midst of speaking.

Lu Xueqing's body didn't hesitate to roll towards the Bloodthirsty Lake.

Seeing Lu Xueqing rolling so resolutely into the Bloodthirsty Lake, Liu Gaolong's eyes tightened, and he rushed towards her at great speed.

At such a short distance, he was confident he could catch her before she fell into the water.

That's why he had been so unhurried just now.

Just as he was about to stretch out his hand to grab Lu Xueqing at the edge of the lake, he suddenly saw a dark shadow emerging from the water.

The Bloodthirsty Ghost Fish here could terrify even Sea Transformation Stage powerhouses, let alone Liu Gaolong, who was only at the Golden Core Stage.

After seeing this shadow emerging, he thought it was a Bloodthirsty Ghost Fish, and his body abruptly halted.

With a "plop!"

At this moment.

Lu Xueqing had already fallen into the Bloodthirsty Lake.

And the shadow in the water had fully emerged.

Seeing that the shadow was a young man, and only a Foundation Establishment Stage young man at that, Liu Gaolong's face revealed a ruthless expression, and a thick killing intent suddenly erupted from him.

Feng Deyun, who had been silent all this time, said, "Gaolong, don't be rash, there's something strange here."

As for Lu Xueqing, who had tumbled into the lake, she was now in Shen Feng's arms. This woman had just warned him, so he felt somewhat fond of her.

Seeing Shen Feng up close, Lu Xueqing spoke with shock and uncertainty, "You, you're not dead?"
