Lu Jingfeng gathered the Core Formation Realm powerhouses from various families and led everyone toward the looming thousand-meter-tall tree within the black mist. They were going to cut off the source of the black mist.
Meanwhile, after informing Yu Xiaoman, Fei Feng flew out from the necklace and entered the black mist in her spirit form.
To safeguard Yu Xiaoman, Fei Feng left a split of her spirit within the Soul Nourishing Wood necklace.
Lu Jingfeng knew that venturing out of the city was extremely dangerous and that he might not return; hence, he had temporarily handed over many of Beifeng City's affairs to the Deputy City Lord.
The candidates sent by the other families were also mostly elderly Core Formation Realm powerhouses. It was difficult for them to advance further, and at such times, it was a rare opportunity for them to make contributions to their families.
