The moment Yuan Fang’s name appeared on the list, Zou Feng was struck by a sudden sense of dread.

This inexplicable dread immediately reminded Zou Feng of what Gongsun Jinghong had said: the Earth Realm where Yuan Fang came from seemed to be a place where they practiced some kind of Witchcraft.

’So, has this guy’s Witchcraft already locked onto me?’

’Can you really be affected just by meeting him and exchanging a few words?’

’If so, then there’s really something to this Witchcraft.’

’A pity. Compared to the List of Gods, it’s nothing more than a firefly to the bright moon.’

Zou Feng didn’t dwell on it any longer and returned to his room.

Inside the room, Teng County was still there. She had apparently slept alone all night.

"You’re back?"

Teng County, who had been meditating, immediately opened her eyes at the sound.

"You must be hungry. I’ll go to the Dining Hall and get some food." With that, Teng County trotted off toward the Dining Hall on the Flying Celestial Ship.

Before long, Teng County returned with a food basket.

"The food in the Dining Hall is all incredible stuff we’ve never seen before. Its effects are comparable to a High Grade Elixir from Great Yan..." Teng County explained as she busied herself.

The scene struck Zou Feng as rather odd.

’It’s like I was out philandering all night, only to come home to my wife, who’s worried I wore myself out with my mistress...’

The Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect was very generous with its supply of ordinary food.

Just as Teng County had said, the effects of this food were indeed comparable to a High Grade Elixir from Great Yan.

For such Spiritual Food to be supplied for free and in unlimited quantities, one could only imagine that this stuff wasn’t considered particularly valuable in the Eastern Earth Immortal Realm.

So, what kind of effects would the food provided to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect’s Inner Sect Disciples have?

The mere thought of it filled Zou Feng with anticipation.

"There’s been trouble!!"

"What’s all the fuss? A few idiots who didn’t watch their step died, what’s there to shout about..."

"Brother Chen doesn’t look too happy..."

A commotion came from outside the door.

Just from listening to the chatter, Zou Feng knew that people from different Earth Realms on the ship had clashed, and several had died as a result.

"Everyone, assemble on the deck at the ship’s bow!"

Just as he was considering whether to go take a look, Chen Zifan’s voice reached his ears with perfect clarity.

Chen Zifan’s tone was no longer as approachable as before; it was now laced with obvious anger.

Zou Feng and Teng County exchanged a glance, then put down their utensils and walked out of the room side by side.

They hadn’t been involved in the recent conflict anyway. It was none of their business, so they might as well go watch the show.

Following the crowd to the deck at the bow, they found Chen Zifan and several other disciples of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect already waiting with grim expressions.

Laid out not far in front of them were five corpses.

These were clearly the victims of the earlier conflict.

Since they were still waiting for others to arrive, Zou Feng decided to size up the people from the other Earth Realms.

There were people in strange attire, some with blond hair and blue eyes, and even an oddball wearing nothing but a pair of shorts, his entire muscular physique on display.

Among them, a blonde woman in a pure white dress and a colorful flower crown on her head was especially eye-catching.

Though the woman was blonde, her features weren’t those of someone from the Western Regions. Instead, she perfectly conformed to the aesthetic ideals of the Great Yan’s Central Plains Region.

Furthermore, her beauty was akin to Su Qingyu’s—the kind that drew you in the longer you looked, achieving a similar effect through a different charm.

But where this woman surpassed Su Qingyu was her figure.

’It’s ridiculous,’ Zou Feng thought. ’Back in my past life on Blue Star, you’d only find a figure like this in an ecchi anime.’

Even Zou Feng couldn’t help but stare for a few extra moments. A thought surfaced in his mind: ’Cultivating the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill with her would probably be... a unique experience.’

"Brother Feng... are you carrying a dagger?" Teng County asked, obviously not oblivious to the situation.

This was her attempt to remind Zou Feng in what she considered the least awkward way possible.

Zou Feng glanced down and let out a dry cough.

He immediately circulated his Heart Skill, forcing the "dagger" back into its "sheath."

’There’s something seriously wrong with this woman!’

Now that he’d regained his composure, Zou Feng was secretly alarmed.

’For her to affect me like that and make me lose my composure, she must have cultivated an extremely potent Charm Evil Technique.’

’That has to be it. Otherwise, with my self-discipline and the fact that she isn’t even my type, there’s no way my ’sword’ would have been drawn so readily.’

The scene that followed confirmed his suspicions.

As the blonde woman walked on, nearly every man around her fell for it, each one offering her a "standing salute."

A familiar figure even stepped forward to block the blonde woman’s path.

It was Yuan Fang, the Witchcraft cultivator who had just clashed with Zou Feng.

Yuan Fang’s eyes were bloodshot, and he looked as if he wanted to devour the blonde woman whole.

"Name a price!" Yuan Fang said, struggling to get the three words out while holding back his drool.

The man was clearly a firm believer in the principle that everything has a price, enough to get in her face in public and demand she quote one.

’It’s hard to imagine how Yuan Fang has managed to stay alive this long...’

’I can only assume that besides having genuine strength, his family background must be incredibly powerful.’

The blonde woman glanced at him, a contemptuous smile on her face, and simply walked around him.

With her ignoring him, Yuan Fang couldn’t cause a scene, not with Chen Zifan and the other official disciples of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect present.

After the blonde woman passed, another familiar figure shuffled over, a dejected look on his face.

"Senior Sword Saint!"

Teng County was the first to greet him.

This was none other than Jing Huaisong, the current Sword Saint of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect.

But even knowing that their lineage had a powerful backer in the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect wasn’t enough to lift the current Sword Saint’s spirits.

Hearing her voice, Jing Huaisong turned to look at Teng County, then at Zou Feng, who stood beside her with his hands clasped in a formal greeting. He simply gave a slight shake of his head.
