Wu Tian had completely subdued Zhong Lintian.
In the following time, Zhong Lintian was incredibly polite to Wu Tian.
He called Wu Tian "Uncle" with great affection, completely unlike his previous self, which made Wu Tian feel a bit embarrassed.
The meal at the Zhong family's residence also helped Wu Tian's relationship with the Zhong family shift from being at loggerheads to being considerably closer.
Not only that, but Zhong Shan also gave Wu Tian one hundred million yuan. Ostensibly, it was for treatment fees, but in reality, it was as good as a gift.
Although one hundred million yuan was no longer a significant temptation for Wu Tian, he still accepted it.
After all, as the saying goes, people utilize each other.
Since they were offering it, he couldn't refuse it, could he?
Who would be foolish enough not to accept money that was freely given?
After leaving the Zhong family, the time had already reached five in the afternoon.
The Zhong family had wanted him to stay for dinner, but he declined. He simply ate something in the county town and then headed straight home.
At home, Wu Tian had nothing else to do, so he sat on his bed and began to cultivate.
His cultivation had hit a bottleneck, and he was struggling to break through from level four to level five, which made him feel a bit anxious.
However, cultivating all-around spiritual energy was inherently slower than for other spiritual cultivators.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a significant advantage over those of the same level.
Wu Tian cultivated from six in the evening until two in the morning, but he was still unable to achieve a breakthrough.
As he continued to cultivate, Wu Tian became increasingly frustrated. He broke out of his cultivation state, breathing heavily.
His clothes were soaked with sweat. Through cultivation, he could indeed feel his spiritual energy increasing.
But it was still far from enough. He had already realized that the gap between level four and level five was a watershed.
Only by breaking through to level five could he truly be considered a master among spiritual cultivators.
"Ah, forget it, forget it."
After thinking it over and over, Wu Tian felt his head was about to explode.
There was nothing to be gained from simply thinking about such matters. This kind of pointless contemplation would only lead to more trouble.
So, Wu Tian went downstairs, intending to take a bath and go to sleep. As for what happened next, he would deal with it later.
However, as soon as he went downstairs, his steps immediately halted, and his expression turned extremely solemn.
He held his breath and couldn't help but glance behind him, sensing that something was amiss.
Then, he rushed out of the door, his gaze fixed on the mountain forest behind the house.
Someone was there!
He sensed it; there was definitely someone in the mountain forest!
If it were just ordinary people, he wouldn't have paid so much attention. But he felt the fluctuation of spiritual energy in the air.
If a spiritual cultivator didn't release their spiritual energy, even he would find it difficult to detect them.
But to be able to sense spiritual energy from such a distance, there was only one possibility: a fight between spiritual cultivators was indeed happening in the forest!
This was no small matter. To ordinary people, spiritual cultivators were no different from deities.
As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. If there were any problems, the entire Peach Blossom Village might be affected!
Thinking of this, Wu Tian dared not delay. He sprinted into the mountain forest.
As soon as he stepped into it, the fluctuation of spiritual energy became even more intense.
As expected, the spiritual cultivator was just ahead!
To avoid unnecessary trouble, he didn't choose to walk directly in. Instead, he leaped onto a branch and then leaped from tree to tree.
After advancing a certain distance, Wu Tian stopped on a tree.
His gaze fell, and he indeed saw people confronting each other in the mountain forest.
Due to the dim environment, he couldn't see their faces clearly. He could only distinguish that there were three people in total, appearing to be a two-on-one situation.
A slightly hoarse voice chuckled, "Why don't you stop resisting? What's the use of resisting?"
"If you enjoy it now, you might feel a bit more comfortable. But if you force it, you might suffer later."
The person opposite did not speak. Her spiritual energy was already somewhat weak, indicating she had sustained some injuries.
She maintained an offensive stance, showing no signs of yielding to the other party's words.
At this moment, a slightly louder voice rang out again, "Why are you wasting words with her?"
"We've been chasing her for two days and two nights. We've said all that needs to be said. Don't you know what kind of person she is?"
"Never mind that. Let's just go for it. I can't hold back anymore. After we capture her today, I'll make sure to torment her properly!"
The hoarse voice chuckled, "You, you're just too impatient."
"With her physique, I'm really worried she won't be able to withstand a few of your moves!"
Both of them let out lewd laughter, while the spiritual energy of the person opposite became increasingly sharp.
Seeing this, Wu Tian finally understood.
So, these two old fellows were planning to do something improper to the young lady!
The girl's aura naturally attracted the attention of the two old guys.
They laughed even more heartily and said, "What's wrong? You look like you're not convinced, huh?"
"Let me tell you, no matter how unconvinced you are, it's useless. We brothers have decided to capture you today, and you won't escape from our hands even in your dreams!"
At this point, one of the old fellows' voices became low again, "I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore. Just surrender obediently!"
As the words fell, the two perverts stomped their feet and charged straight towards the girl.
The girl did not retreat at all and met their attack directly.
The mountain forest once again erupted in fierce combat. Wu Tian stood on a branch, observing everything.
He could tell that the girl was quite skilled and clearly excelled in physical combat. In terms of techniques, even he was slightly inferior.
If it were a one-on-one fight, given the skill of those two old fellows, they shouldn't be her match.
But the current situation was one against two, and the girl's strength was no match for their numbers. Thus, she was constantly at a disadvantage.
Gradually, the girl could no longer hold on.
With a dull punch to her abdomen, she was immediately sent flying backward.
She tried to get up, but her body was clearly quite severely injured, so she couldn't get up at all.
The two old fellows chuckled, "I told you to surrender obediently, why didn't you believe me? Now you've suffered, haven't you?"
"But no matter what, you have no other choice now."
"Since that's the case, then let us brothers have our fun!"
