The Feng Zun Journey
Staking out
Instinct?
"Really... Friend, that dangerous presence of yours has made me very uncomfortable, and I really hate whatever kind of inconvenience it is.” Qing Ruo said solemnly.
Then he continued, “I can predict that even if we become true friends, that discomfort will remain. So, for a moment, I really wanted to kill you.”
The reason was undoubtedly ludicrous, but Feng Zun trusted him.
When a mouse sees a cat, it instinctively senses danger.
That's what it means to have a 'natural enemy'.
Qing Ruo smiled, "You said that fish is useless, but it is precisely because of that fish that I decided not to attack you."
With that, he waved. “When we meet again, I hope I don't feel that uncomfortable and dangerous presence. If so, we might actually become friends. No need for superficial friendship, but at least. separation without hostility."
Before his voice finished echoing in the air, Qing Ruo walked away.
Feng Zun remained where he was, and he did not chase after him. He simply said, "Don't you think this is what happens when a mouse sees a cat?"
Qing Ruo did not miss, yet she did not slow down or stop. He just waved and said, “Sure, but who's the cat and who's the rat? It's too early to say it. We have to look at this from a long-term perspective.We will see who comes out as the winner in the end.”.
"Oh?" said Feng Zun,
He again said “Other times if we meet, you better not let me down. If you do, then I will feel that there is no point in letting you leave here today."
Qing Ruo's warm laughter radiated from afar. “It also applies to you, friend!”
The Amnesiac youth with suspicious origins soon disappeared completely.
I finally met someone worthy of my attention. It would be a waste to kill him now .. Feng Zun thought.
He stood at the dilapidated temple a moment after before turning around and leaving.
Before long, he was already deep within the peach garden growing near the mountain peak in the sacred forest.
However, this time, the peach garden was full of ghost bats!
This type of small ghost is deep black with sharp fangs. They were partying absorbing the qi from the corpses and the rest of the souls with joy, even though each of them was only the size of a fist, they were extremely cruel and dangerous.
If one of them bit a martial artist, his corpse poison would attack their heart, and they would die on the spot.
Even ordinary mortal cultivators would not be willing to provoke them, as they attacked in groups, moved quickly, and excelled in sonic attacks. Their hordes were extremely troublesome opponents.
However, the ghost bats that Feng Zun saw now were very strange, they obviously did not appear naturally. There must be someone raising them here.
There was a clay pot hanging on every tree filled with bats, and each pot contained a refined soul energy. The pale white clumps were as smooth as ox feathers, and they rose from the pot and entered the bat's body in one relentless stream, as if they were cultivating.
When Feng Zun saw this, he furrowed his brows.
This method of nurturing bats was extremely cruel and barbaric, it required a relentless flow of souls, to be purified as food for bats.
The soul energy in one such clay pot, should be purified from at least a hundred souls.
It seemed that in these difficult times, some creepy lowly creatures dared to come out into the open and act as they pleased…
Feng Zun had just thought of this when he sensed something, and he simply disappeared.
A few moments later…
Swoshis!
A ghost that took the form of a woman suddenly came over where Feng Zun was standing before.
He stood outside the peach garden, then gazed into it, his expression looking panicked and frightened, "Your Majesty, this is bad! An extremely strong demon beast cultivator had appeared, and scared away the tens of thousands of ferocious beasts I controlled, they were expelled before they even made it into Guangling City!"
Suddenly, deep within the peach forest, a beam of ghost-like black fog shot into the air.
...
A ghostly black fog floated in the air, then it took the form of a black-colored Daoist-robed man.
He had strange features with bright red eyes, and a terrible mist swirled around his pupils. Countless vindictive spirits and aggrieved souls, seemingly formed within the fog, were as if he was a phantom King coming straight from a deep hell.
"You just ran away scared?" said the Daoist-robed man, with his sharp voice piercing through the ears.
The ghost bats hanging on the nearby peach tree quietly opened their eyes. Their irises were bright red, like lit candles. Packed together under a mysterious power, they were a terrifying and terrifying sight.
"That's right.... He was an extremely terrifying demon beast cultivator, even the presence of his aura filled the heavens and earth. I was just watching from afar, but it already made me very scared.” said the woman who was still trembling in fear.
“A demon animal cultivator? Was that person named Qing Ruo, who lived in the middle of that mountain climbing road attacking?” ask the Daoist-robed man.
The woman shook her head. “No... It seems he is not Qing Ruo.”
"It's strange, Guangling City is small and ordinary. None of the martial artists could step onto the path of a true cultivator. How could a strong demon beast cultivator be able to appear now ? And where did it come from?
The Daoist-robed man furrowed his brows at the thought of this.
That was when a faint voice sounded, "You're just an insignificant little ghost, but you also know Qing Ruo?"
"Who are you?"
Both the black-robed man and the woman were stunned, and they looked towards the direction of the voice.
They were not sure when he was there, but a golden-white-robed young man was now standing by the side of the peach garden, his hands behind his back, and he looked calm and indifferent.
The woman shouted, “Who are you? How dare you barge into..”
"Whispering." Feng Zun flicked his finger.
Bang out!
The figure of the woman instantly exploded into black smoke, then disappeared in the void.
The black-robed man's red eyes immediately focused, "It seems like this fellow isn't easy to handle!"
