Chapter 26

Just the preparation of the wild ox meat alone amounted to nearly ten thousand pounds. Among the three, Leixingyao was the happiest. She knew that she wouldn't go hungry during this cold season. She really disliked the feeling of being both cold and hungry.

The old man said, "A'feng, all the food and supplies are ready. At the beginning of the cold season, you know, there will be heavy snowstorms, and often rain and thunderstorms. So... I plan to take you out. I need some stimulation to continue my cultivation... It's hard for me to fully recover my strength."

Leixingfeng said, "Go out during the cold season? Isn't that too dangerous?" He knew that no one dared to go out during the cold season. Once lost in the wild, it was very hard to return. The wild during the cold season was a no-go zone for ordinary people.

The old man smiled and said, "You're not an ordinary person anymore. You're a Thousand-Wheel Master. Otherwise, do you think you could kill so many savages and rob their prey?"

Leixingfeng said, "What about Yaoyao?" He was really worried about leaving the little girl at home, after all, she was only six years old.

The old man said, "Don't worry. Let Yaoyao stay at Dashi's house, and let them take care of her. We'll be back soon. When the cold season ends, we should leave Huyan Fort. Hehe, haven't you always wanted to go out?"

Leixingfeng thought for a moment, then called Leixingyao and said, "Yaoyao, A'ye and I are going out for a while. You'll stay at Dashi's house for some time."

Leixingyao's face immediately fell. She pulled on Leixingfeng and said, "Brother, can I go with you?" She looked pitifully at him, her eyes shimmering with tears. Leixingfeng immediately gave in and said, "A'ye!"

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Yaoyao, your body is too weak to withstand the cold outside. It would be very dangerous to go with us."

Two tears fell as Leixingyao looked at the old man and Leixingfeng, silently crying.

Leixingfeng hurriedly wiped her tears, repeatedly saying, "Don't cry, don't cry, Yaoyao, don't cry..." He hugged Leixingyao, who was obedient and sensible. He loved her deeply and didn't want her to be sad.

The old man sighed and said, "Alright, since we're always together, let's take her along. But, A'feng, you're responsible for Yaoyao."

Leixingfeng nodded and said, "I'll carry my little sister."

Leixingyao still had tears in her eyes, but she was already smiling happily.

The old man said, "Yaoyao, the wild during the cold season will be very harsh. Can you endure it? Once outside, you can't complain."

Leixingyao said firmly, "As long as I'm with A'ye and Brother, I'm not afraid!"

The old man was powerful, and Leixingfeng was also a small expert. Protecting a child wasn't a big problem. The reason he initially didn't want to take Leixingyao was that he was afraid she would suffer.

Actually, Leixingfeng didn't want to leave Leixingyao at Huyan Fort either. He didn't want her to suffer at all. This time, they obtained a large amount of fur, but it was too late to sew fur clothes. Leixingfeng took the furs directly to the clan leader to exchange for ready-made fur coats.

After everything was prepared, the three left Huyan Fort.

All three were wrapped in thick fur coats. Leixingfeng carried a black bow and a steel spear. The old man also held a steel spear. Leixingfeng also carried a large backpack, which could be used to carry Leixingyao if necessary. With his strength, carrying a child was no problem.

The snow fell heavily, and occasionally, thunder could be heard rolling across the sky.

Leixingfeng found it interesting that this world could have thunder during a snowstorm. The so-called thunderstorm was a characteristic of this place.

Since the old man's Wheel Storage Space was open, the food was stored there. They didn't carry much, and Leixingfeng's backpack contained many thick animal furs for sleeping and a small amount of food, just in case they got separated and ran out of food.

Leixingfeng held Leixingyao's hand and followed the old man as they struggled through the dense forest.

...

The first heavy snow turned Huyan Fort into a white world. Every household lit their heating stoves, and the hunters began to enjoy their once-a-year leisure time. Although the cold season prevented them from hunting, it was the best time for rest and martial practice, especially for those with children. The entire cold season was a time for teaching and learning.

As long as they stored enough food and fuel during the warm season, the cold season could be extremely comfortable and pleasant. It was also a good opportunity for the hunters of Huyan Fort to socialize, visiting each other and chatting. Even in heavy snow, Huyan Fort was built on a cliff, making it easy to visit each other.

Seventeen days after Leixingfeng's family left Huyan Fort, the sky gradually cleared, and the continuous seventeen days of blizzards finally stopped.

A group of people emerged from Eagle Territory, numbering about three hundred. The leader was Eagle Owl, whose cheek had been pierced by Leixingfeng. Beside him were Eagle Dafei and his master, Zhi Chiyi.

Talking and laughing with Zhi Chiyi were a man and a woman. Clearly, Zhi Chiyi respected them greatly.

An elder from Hongdong Cave and his female disciple, the man was an outer gate elder named Du Hongchen, and the female disciple was named Wenyan. Like Zhi Chiyi, she was a Secret Wheel Master, and her master was an extraordinary figure. Du Hongchen had already condensed his own True Body, becoming a true Secret Wheel True Person, transcending the ordinary.

From Thousand-Wheel Master to Secret Wheel Master, about ninety percent of cultivators were eliminated. From Secret Wheel Master to Secret Wheel True Person, condensing one's True Body was an even greater threshold. The ideal goal of any Secret Wheel Master was to condense their True Body and advance to True Person. Once they reached the level of Secret Wheel True Person, they truly transcended the ordinary.

In any sect or organization, Secret Wheel True Persons could hold the most important positions. They were highly respected and powerful.

Wenyan walked with a cold expression, followed by ten strong men in black fur coats, all Thousand-Wheel Masters. They were a cleanup team from Hongdong Cave, specifically for dealing with savages, and were very powerful.

Eagle Owl's face was ruddy, but his cheeks were still damaged, leaving two holes. He had suffered a lot, especially when eating and drinking. This time, he felt much better being able to invite his master, especially the outer gate elder responsible for cleaning up savages, and bringing a ten-man cleanup team. He felt that everything was worth it as long as he could take revenge.

He and Eagle Dafei stood to one side, whispering. Only Eagle Dafei could understand Eagle Owl's strange pronunciation.

Eagle Dafei whispered, "Uncle, what if that kid agrees to go with the elder? Then we can't take revenge, right?"

Eagle Owl muttered a few words, and Eagle Dafei nodded. "That's true. Just by looking, you can tell that kid is very proud. He definitely won't agree. Then, hehe, when the elder acts... Uncle, how do you plan to take revenge?"

Eagle Owl muttered again, accompanied by grinding teeth. Eagle Dafei shuddered, realizing his uncle had become twisted.

Zhi Chiyi said calmly, "Dafei, have you been to Huyan Fort?"

Eagle Dafei ran up and said, "Sir, Huyan Fort is a famous dangerous place. They live on a cliff, and the only way in and out is through a basket. To enter Huyan Fort, we must control the stone fort on the cliff above."

Zhi Chiyi turned and said, "Uncle Du, Sister Wenyan, this is a challenge. To attack Huyan Fort, we must control the stone fort on the cliff above."

Du Hongchen smiled faintly and said, "That's not a problem. Leave it to me. My only concern is whether that child has... a Lightning Single Wheel Seal!"

Zhi Chiyi said, "My disciple confirmed it, but I haven't seen it. A Lightning Single Wheel Seal is extremely rare. Whether it's real or not, it's worth our trip."

Du Hongchen said, "Eagle Owl, come here!"

Eagle Owl hurriedly ran up, having been eavesdropping.

Du Hongchen said, "Are you sure?"

Eagle Owl muttered a few words, and Du Hongchen said bluntly, "Nod if you're sure, shake your head if you're not. Who can understand your gibberish!"

Eagle Owl's eyes rolled, but he didn't dare to contradict Du Hongchen. This guy was a killing star, and even his master couldn't save him. He nodded vigorously, his face turning pale.

Wenyan found it hard to maintain her cold demeanor and covered her mouth to laugh. Eagle Owl's appearance was truly pitiful.

Du Hongchen sighed and said, "If it really is a Lightning Single Wheel Seal, I doubt I can get him. The old ancestor of the inner gate will take him directly." Then he added, "Pass the order down. Once we enter Huyan Fort, I forbid killing. No one is to be killed. We just need to intimidate them. Once we confirm that the child has a Lightning Single Wheel Seal, everything will be fine."

Eagle Dafei, emboldened, asked, "Sir... what if it's not a Lightning Single Wheel Seal?"

Du Hongchen sneered. In that case, it would be bad luck for him and Huyan Fort.

Eagle Dafei and Eagle Owl immediately showed signs of joy, but then Du Hongchen added, "And it will be bad luck for you two as well!"

The meaning was clear. If Leixingfeng was not a Lightning Single Wheel Seal, not only would Leixingfeng die, but the people of Huyan Fort would die, and even Eagle Owl and Eagle Dafei would not survive.

Wenyan said coldly, "My master hates being deceived the most."

Not only did Eagle Dafei and Eagle Owl feel their scalps tingle, but even Zhi Chiyi felt his legs go weak. Although he was a Secret Wheel Master, he was far inferior to Du Hongchen. The difference between a Secret Wheel Master and a Secret Wheel True Person was vast, both in strength and status.

The large group headed towards Huyan Fort.
