It wasn't just Feng Tian who was looking in that direction, but Fu Lin was also staring at that particular location in a state of daze. Her face was devoid of any emotion. After a very long time, she let out a sigh and looked away.
The middle-aged man slowly stood up as his reflexes made him turn in a particular direction, as though listening to someone who had called out to him. When he turned back to look towards Feng Li and his 'father'- Feng Tian, what covered his face was not just fear but the fear that was engraved deeper on his very bones. His whole body began trembling as he turned and speedily disappeared into the Distance.
"Old Tian, what has just happened? Who just made a move to save us all?" The Yang family patriarch said with a frown on his face.
"Even I do not know at all, Feng Tian said slowly while not looking towards the Yang family patriarch.
The Yang family patriarch looked deeply towards Feng Tian as though trying to see through him. Though he chose not to ask more, it was clear that he still doubted the fact that Feng Tian did not know who had just saved their lives.
Feng Tian slowly walked towards Feng Li and placed his hands on his chest as he closed his eyes to see the level of injuries his son had sustained in the clash. He slowly opened his eyes as a big frown formed.
"His dantian, I'm not even able to reach it at all. It's like a very powerful energy has surrounded it, preventing any external interference whatsoever." Feng Tian said slowly.
"Xue'er and Xu'er carefully carry him and place him inside his room. There, he can cure his own body peacefully." Fu Lin looked towards the two girls and told them with a smile.
After Feng Li was carried to his room, the field outside the Feng family mansion became so silent, as many of the Feng and Li family elders and disciples were kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and begging for their lives.
Feng Ba, the Feng family's grand elder, lay down on the ground since the attack by the unknown senior was just too strong for his body to handle, as most of his bones were shattered. The same fate had befallen the Li family patriarch.
Looking at the duo on the ground, Feng Tian walked slowly towards the two and stood a few inches from them.
"Feng Ba, it is always true that the fate of a good man will always prevail over the plans and plots of a wicked man. From the very beginning, since I became patriarch, which, after all, was my rightful seat, you, Feng Ba, have always coveted the position and have used every trick up your sleeve, not even caring, but colluding with the enemies against your own family. So shameful."
"You think that you have won just because you got assistance from an unknown senior? Well, let me tell you what you do not know. The middle-aged man whom your son hurt with his forbidden tricks is the treasure elder of the Blood Rain Sect of Misty City. You have offended such a colossal just because of a person who isn't your blood to begin with." Feng Ba said coldly.
"Oh, treasure elder of the Blood Rain Sect, I know who he is: Wan Rong, the most inconsiderate elder under the Blood Rain Sect banner. Well, whether or not they will retaliate doesn't matter as of now. However, I must see to it that you get lots of experience with what we call true torture." Feng Tian said coldly.
Following the defeat of the rebellious Li family patriarch and the Feng family grand elder, the duo were punished. The Li family patriarch was forcefully demoted from his position, and the family grand elder took over the family patriarch position.
The Feng family's grand elder was sentenced to a lifetime of detention inside the Feng family's underground cells, where hardcore criminals of the family were kept. Most of the elders who had colluded with the grand elder were also either punished or detained, depending on the severity of the offense.
After this war, the relationship between the Feng and Yang families is surely expected to be even deeper. This was a sure prediction since it was displayed during the battle.
Inside the Feng family mansion in the meeting hall....
At the very end of the hall stood a gigantic throne which was made out of a very expensive material. Seated on the throne was Feng Tian, who at the moment looked much healthier compared to a few hours ago.
"Patriarch, about the Blood Rain Sect, should we... maybe send our apologies for injuring one of their elder?" One of the recently crowned elders hesitantly asked.
"Ask for forgiveness? Are you nuts or what? Is it not him who provoked us? Also, let them make a move if they dare. It's not like they are too strong compared to us." One of the elders said coldly.
"Let's put the matter concerning the Blood Rain sect at bay for now. Since we are not going to apologize for anything, let's discuss some more pressing issues as of now." Feng Tian said.
It was not like the elder who requested an apology was wrong, but the truth is that the Blood Rain Sect was strong, but not too strong to dare think they could easily destroy the Feng family.
"We have all seen the fight amongst our youths, and more so, O Feng Li. The level of strength he had displayed was too strong and too impossible to even imagine. Forgetting the fact that he's too strong, wasn't he declared a cripple and unable to cultivate? What was that we saw just a few hours ago?" The thin elder who ran the talent measuring ceremony said with a very confused expression on his face.
"Yes, patriarch, the level of battle prowess your son had exploded with. I'm afraid even I would have suffered a great injury, if not crippled." Another elder added.
Looking at the elders surrounding him, Feng Tian took a deep breath of air and looked extremely helpless. "Elders, I know all of you here are all waiting for my response; however, I am afraid I will have to disappoint you all, for even I am as confused as you all are."
Hearing what the patriarch had said, all the elders were left silent for a considerably long period of time. They were all convinced that only the patriarch could shed some light on their current predicament. Clearly, the only option they heard was to wait until Feng Li healed; then and only then would they be able to fill in the gaps.

Meanwhile, inside Feng Li's room
On the bed lay the body of a petite, handsome youth who was currently looking so weak. His skin was so pale that one would even mistake him for a dead person. On his side sat a young lady dressed in a blue robe. She was so amazingly beautiful, but at the moment her beautiful face was clouded by a lot of worry, tiredness, fear, and, above all was a deep care for the young boy lying on the bed. She was none other than Feng Xue.
The amount of power and strength that Feng Li had utilized to defeat Wan Rong was so great that his small and weak body couldn't have handled it. His body and all his veins seemed to have ruptured completely. This level of injury was so severe that a normal cultivator could take decades, if not longer, to heal from.
Wuussssh! Wuussssh!
All of a sudden, a milky white cloud in the shape of a ring appeared on top of Feng Li's forehead, which began rotating at a very slow speed as the energy from all over the room began vibrating and being sucked into the black hole formed by the rotating milky ring. This was the heavenly soul that Feng Li possessed.
The rotating Heaven soul began getting faster and faster as the energy around was being attracted and sucked into the black hole more and more by the passage of time.
Feng Xue, who was seated next to him, suddenly opened her eyes at the disturbance in the room. Looking at the phenomenon unfolding, she was surprised to see a milky-white cloud on Feng Li's forehead.
The energy that was being sucked by the heaven soul turned into pure shreds of golden coloured qi that flowed directly through the shuttered meridians. The most surprising thing was that the qi that was flowing was not being leaked away, but instead it was slowly mending and healing the ruptured meridians and veins at a considerably faster rate.
Previously, the veins and meridians were just a pale gold colour, but were now turning into a glittery, shiny golden colour. They were even thicker compared to before.
The golden coloured qi flowed directly up to the immortal core instead of the Dantian, as was the norm. On reaching the immortal core, the qi began churning at a very high speed as it turned into a deep golden viscous fluid that began filling the immortal core fully.
It just took several breaths to fill the immortal core as the deep golden viscous fluid began vibrating, and at a very high speed, the immortal core began expanding slowly. When the core was first formed, it was just the size of a bean seed, but currently, as it was expanding, it was now close to the size of a macadamia nut, if comparison fit.
After reaching a certain desired size where no more expansion was happening, the deep golden viscous fluid began overflowing as it directly moved towards Feng Li's dantian with a ferocious momentum, as though it was a slumbering beast who has been provoked to wake up.
On reaching the Dantian, the ten decalight beasts who had been silent for a very long time suddenly shook and loudly opened their large mouths as a great suction force came out, and they began devouring all the golden viscous fluid qi at a very high speed.
Several hours later, something out of the ordinary occurred as a strange milky smoke hidden deep between Feng Li's eyebrows began making some movements as it speedily raced towards the dantian like a robber. Soon it began sucking dry the golden viscous fluid qi as though it was competing with the divine decalight beasts.
After a few more hours, within Feng Li's room, Feng Xue, who was closely watching the rotating Heaven soul on Feng Li's forehead, was again up to another surprise as a milky smoke began flowing out of Feng Li's body. No matter how she looked, she couldn't figure out from which part of Feng Li the smoke was coming.
Suddenly, a large boom was heard from within Feng Li's body as a gigantic force, followed by a large momentum, exploded forth from Feng Li's body.
Boom!
Feng Xue, who was so close to Feng Li, was blasted away several meters, knocking away the door and still kept on flying, knocking everything in her way, all the way landing squarely inside the Feng family meeting hall. It was her luck that her reflexes were quick, as she had activated her blue domain. Though it had been shattered in the process, it still managed to fend off most of the impact.
"Who in the heavens dares to make a move inside the mighty Feng family mansion?" The Feng family's eldest elder shouted angrily.
Feng Xue weakly stood up as she looked up at all the elders and the patriarch, as a clear sign of fear still hung on her face. " Senior, it's not what it looks like... it's... It's Feng Li, he...he..." She was saying this while pointing towards Feng Li's room.
Without even more questions, all the elders wanted to move, but a figure moved so fast that all the elders could not even react. Upon reaching Feng Li's room, everything was in a mess, and a small figure lying on the cracked jade bed with his eyes tightly closed could be seen.
The loud outburst of energy just now was a result of Feng Li breaking through into the late-stage first layer of the heavenly Indestructible divine physique. If the mid-stage of the first level of the heavenly indestructible divine physique gave him strength comparable to a fourth-level soul transformation realm master, you can just imagine how strong he will be at the late stage, factoring in his qi cultivation.
Inside the room stood Feng Tian, as all the elders had also arrived with several other figures as well. Feeling the pressure emanating from the room, Feng Tian could be seen frowning as the pressure was so pure and different. It was one that none of them had ever felt. After all, how could they even recognize the aura coming from the number one divine physique?
Feng Li was ripping out of this misfortune. Was this all, or was it just the start of his harvest?
Despite all this happening, Feng Li was still sleeping on the bed as the milky white cloud continued rotating at an even higher speed than before.
