Xiao Yefeng attempted to purify the frostbite on his wound using his True Spirit Energy, but the effect was minimal. Fortunately, the frost gradually dissipated, and he was no longer worried about losing his right arm. Pressing down on the injury, Xiao Yefeng looked at the figure of white light and said, "Big Brother! Thank you for saving my life! But could you reveal your mysterious identity?"
At that moment, the white light brightened, and the eight-foot-long spear vanished. Cheap Brother replied, "It's a mysterious identity, so naturally I can't tell you! You need to step into the next level first; only then will we have a chance to meet. Otherwise, it's all in vain!"
Xiao Yefeng had no response. Cheap Brother continued, "The injury isn't severe. With some Elixir Residue present, you'll recover quickly. But with your current state, even that girl Qing could easily defeat you! If you want to uncover the truth behind your parents' great revenge, hurry up and reach Peak Level! Jiang Xing isn't wrong; the Perfect World is no less than our realm and certainly not inferior to the Western Gods!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yefeng reached out with his left arm to grasp at the disappearing white light, but it was a futile effort. In the end, Cheap Brother left him with three words: "Just work hard!"
Watching the white light vanish, Xiao Yefeng pressed a button at his waist. Taking advantage of his right arm being in a frozen state without pain, he kicked over Zhu Feng's frail body. As Zhu Feng turned over, a distinct mark bulged from his chest. He reached into his chest pocket and pulled out a cloth bag, tearing away its covering to reveal a jade compass that was only slightly larger than a Bagua Mirror.
On the jade compass, there was no south needle—only a pointer made of bright red marks that spun continuously. Just as Xiao Yefeng reached out to touch it, the pointer emitted a beam of Inspiration directly towards him. In an instant, the light faded, and what had been an empty compass now displayed a filled direction. Seeing this scene shocked Xiao Yefeng.
The compass was revealing a map from his mind. Realizing this, Xiao Yefeng couldn't maintain his composure any longer; he channeled his spiritual energy and instantly erased half of the appearing map. One of the four crimson pointers vanished as well, leaving only three pointers on the Divination Compass. At that moment, they returned to their original state but continued to spin.
With a flash of light, the Divination Compass disappeared from Xiao Yefeng's hand. The Tricolor Jade Ring around his neck glimmered briefly as he stored the Divination Compass within his Spatial Ring—specifically known as his Fifth Spatial Ring. The first three rings were unnecessary to mention; the fourth was in Azure Maiden's possession. Xiao Yefeng had seen that staff in Beijing North come from Qing's ring, confirming that his was indeed Fifth.
After pressing the rescue button for quite some time, finally two people arrived with rescue vehicles thanks to Xiao Yefeng's call for help. After leaving some personnel to handle the scene, Xiao Yefeng and his companions returned to the hospital under medical assistance. The doctor carefully treated him and wrapped gauze around his right shoulder wound. Although Xiao Yefeng felt it unnecessary, he had no choice but to comply with the doctor's insistence; later when no one was around, he could use Elixir Residue to heal himself quickly.
While at the hospital, Xiao Yefeng encountered several familiar faces—specifically those from teams pursuing others—among them was Fu Cheng. Fu had a scratch on his left arm; upon inquiry, it turned out he had encountered one of Zhu Feng's two subordinates. Without Xiao Yefeng or Zhao Yin Gate present to restrain the Yin spirits, Fu Cheng managed to kill this person after sustaining that injury due to his deep strength.
Before long, Jiang Xing and others rushed to the hospital as well. Of course, Jiang Xing wasn't injured; he came out of fate's coincidence as he had been pursuing Zhang Xiuhong's son, Zhang Wei. This was truly overkill; although Zhang Wei wasn't strong, he was well-prepared with both cars and motorcycles and almost managed to escape. Fortunately, Jiang Xing decisively fired in an area with sparse population in the city and shot Zhang Wei in the right leg before capturing him.
Zhang Wei's escape route was particularly cunning; he initially exited towards downtown but specifically drove toward crowded areas which forced Peak Level Jiang Xing to be cautious about how he acted. Thus it took until now for him to finally catch up with Zhang Wei.
Of course, not everyone was captured; one person managed to escape, and that was Shen Qing. The team responsible for pursuing him was left behind, marking a regret in what was otherwise a great victory. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng was taken to a corner by Jiang Xing. Jiang Xing said, "Feng, I know you were after Zhu Feng. Zhu Feng is dead, and the Divination Compass is in your hands, right?"
Looking at Jiang Xing, Xiao Yefeng nodded and replied, "That's right, the Divination Compass is with me. However, I hope to see Qing one more time! There are some things I need to clarify with her; otherwise, I would rather destroy the Divination Compass!"
"Don't! Feng, I know you have concerns about our approach in this matter, but you must believe me when I say that the Divination Compass is the method with the least sacrifice. If you destroy it, Azure Maiden and Jie will only find something even more harmful to locate those map owners!" Jiang Xing said helplessly.
"President, trust me. I'm not an impulsive person; I just want to give her a few words of advice! Besides, she will definitely come to collect it herself, won't she?" Xiao Yefeng insisted.
Although one person escaped, this operation could still be considered a perfect success. The Zhang Family Father and Son were captured, and Zhu Feng's three companions were eliminated. Most importantly, the Divination Compass had already fallen into Xiao Yefeng's hands. In fact, Xiao Yefeng's acquisition of the Divination Compass was largely thanks to Zhu Feng's impulsiveness and Cheap Brother's intervention; both were closely related. If Zhu Feng hadn't been affected by the pain of losing his son, he wouldn't have stopped. Without Cheap Brother's help, Xiao Yefeng would have certainly died at the hands of that mysterious old man.
Jiang Xing quickly responded to Xiao Yefeng. Indeed, Qing had received the news and was already on a flight heading here. However, Jiang Xing also delivered some bad news: Young Master Jie from the realm had learned that Xiao Yefeng intercepted the Divination Compass and had sent someone to retrieve it. Fortunately, based on travel time calculations, Qing should arrive first. However, Jiang Xing conveyed Qing's message: he must be cautious.
Xiao Yefeng understood that this caution stemmed from fear of losing the Divination Compass. Lying on the hospital bed, he shook his head helplessly. Why did he feel compelled to intervene in this matter? Even Xiao Yefeng himself couldn't comprehend it. The realm was filled with talented individuals; just moments ago, he had nearly been clawed to death by the Water Elemental Elder. If it weren't for Cheap Brother's assistance, he would already be dead. Did he really think he could use the Divination Compass to make demands?
With Cheap Brother around, Qing could easily crush him; was what he was doing really effective? Confused thoughts swirled in Xiao Yefeng's mind when suddenly his phone rang. Without checking who it was, he answered directly. An anxious yet slightly angry voice came through asking, "Where are you?"
"The hospital!" Xiao Yefeng replied without thinking.
"What? Are you hurt?"
Glancing at the wound on his right shoulder, which had stopped bleeding but still stained the white bandage red, Xiao Yefeng said, "Yeah! My right arm almost..." At this point, he suddenly realized who it was; that voice sounded so familiar—could it be...
Thinking of this, Xiao Yefeng pulled the phone away from his ear and indeed saw three big characters on the screen. He immediately said, "Yiyi, it's nothing! Just a minor injury; I had a little accident earlier!"
However, before Xiao Yefeng could finish, a voice tinged with tears came through the phone. "Which hospital are you in? I'm coming right over!"
After explaining for a while, unable to refuse Liu Yiyi, Xiao Yefeng had no choice but to tell her the location. Looking at the phone, Xiao Yefeng felt a bit puzzled. What was going on with Liu Yiyi? Why was she calling him so late, and her tone sounded strange? After thinking for a moment, he dismissed it, assuming she was worried because he hadn't returned to the Golden House Courtyard yet.
At that moment, Liu Yiyi emerged alone from the third courtyard. Although Mei Mo'er's car was parked in the yard, Liu Yiyi, who couldn't drive, had no choice but to run toward the outside of the Golden House Courtyard. While dialing the phone, she wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes. Tonight, Mei Mo'er was not around and had already returned to the Mei Family. Liu Yiyi had intended to find Xiao Yefeng to talk but never expected that he would be missing all night.
Memories of those girls at the graduation ball who admired Xiao Yefeng and gave him their contact information ignited an inexplicable fire within Liu Yiyi. The night was deepening, and with Xiao Yefeng still absent and having not seen him all day, many thoughts began to swirl in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became; the more anxious she felt, the more she thought about it. In a fit of frustration, Liu Yiyi decided to call Xiao Yefeng.
However, after dialing more than ten times, all she got was a busy signal! Liu Yiyi's anger flared up completely. Just as she was about to give up, the last call surprisingly went through. But instead of relief, her anger was extinguished by the news that Xiao Yefeng was in the hospital and injured. In that instant, Liu Yiyi felt as if she might lose something precious.
Panicking, Liu Yiyi forgot to contact the Liu Family for a car right away. It wasn't until she was on her way that she remembered. In her frantic state, she had already run quite far. Fortunately, Liu Yiyi's health had improved and no longer affected by her previous frailty; otherwise, such intense exercise could have been dangerous!
There were people secretly protecting Liu Yiyi, so a car quickly arrived to pick her up. Before long, she found herself in the hospital room where Xiao Yefeng was staying. He shared a room with two other members of the Metaphysics Society who had also been shot. When Liu Yiyi opened the door and saw Xiao Yefeng with his bare upper body and his right shoulder wrapped in blood-stained bandages, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Seeing such a beautiful woman crying so heartily shocked and envious the two injured members of the Metaphysics Society. They exchanged glances filled with astonishment and admiration before helping each other out of the room while giving Xiao Yefeng an absurd excuse: they were going out to enjoy some sunlight because it was good for their health!
Xiao Yefeng watched as they made gestures at him by the door with expressions that seemed ridiculous. He could only smile helplessly in response. With their departure, Liu Yiyi could no longer contain her emotions. The worries and anger from the entire night combined with an unknown sadness overwhelmed her as she sat by Xiao Yefeng's bedside and cried for a long time. Having never encountered such a situation before, Xiao Yefeng didn't know where to place his hands!
