The Feng Zun Journey
A Hope
When he first met Qing Ruo in the Holy Forest, Feng Zun guessed that he was most likely, a reincarnation or perhaps also part of the second wave of demonic awakening from the ancient times.
Yet when he looked at the Heavenly Calamity Sword carefully, he then understood.
Qing Ruo was really just a slave that the sword used as its food!
He had previously discovered that Qing Ruo did not know his own origin, it was because the Heavenly Calamity Sword had erased his memories. How could he remember who he was?
Feng Zun dared to say with certainty that Qing Ruo, having studied and obtained the inheritance of cultivation techniques from those weapons.
It was very possible that even the name 'Qing Ruo' was also a 'gift' of the Heavenly Calamity Sword ...
The person said that when he first saw me, he felt a great threat and a stifling uncomfortable aura. That's why he felt an urge to kill me. I was worried that it was also due to the influence of the Sword Ruler.
Feng Zun was deep in thought.
However, he could not figure out the origin of the Heavenly Calamity Sword.
Previously, Qing Ruo had come to the Great Liangzhu River to try to enter the ruins of the Eternal Dragon Palace. Was that also at the order of the Sword Ruler?
Does that mean the Heavenly Calamity Sword is out of nowhere, having some connection to the Eternal Dragon Palace.
Fifty thousand years ago, the Eternal Dragon Palace was one of the three biggest sects.
Its founder was Ghost King Hun Long, under the jurisdiction of Emperor Mo Tianyuan of the Eternal Lotus Island.
Furthermore, Feng Zun also obtained the Blue Thunder Sword on the Eternal Lotus Island, this was as if it was proof that this ancient orthodoxy had built its reputation through the sword.
The Heavenly Calamity Sword was clearly the supreme treasure of a ghost or demon cultivator, and within it was a perfect primordial spirit. It seemed to be a perfect match for the Eternal Dragon Palace.
Unfortunately, I was unable to stop him when the sword left. If the sword is still here, I might be able to tell if it is related or not to the Eternal Dragon Palace.
Feng Zun shook his head, and did not think about the matter any further.
"Young Master Feng!" An excited and excited voice sounded from far away.
The strength of the formation churned, and a portal like a whirlpool appeared. Chuyu came out from within it, a wide smile clearly visible on his face.
“I expected it, that nothing would happen to you, Young Master!”
“This is amazing!”
Soon after, Hua Jin and Weng Xue also came out.
Hua Jin looked increasingly thin, she was wearing a pale green dress, and her long black hair was tied up, her skin was as white as snow, and her figure was graceful.
As he saw Feng Zun standing upright on the surface of the river with no signs of injuries, he looked extremely pleased.
Weng Xue meanwhile, could no longer contain her excitement
He rushed towards her, like a swallow returning to its nest, and hugged her tightly.
She was as beautiful as a painting, refined and charming, just like before.
It could be said, that Weng Xue was the nephew of Han Mei.
However, as he hugged the young man he already considered his brother-in-law, his bright eyes fogged with tears.
“Sister Feng, you're fine! Good ! That's very nice...”.
The young girl was too excited to even speak coherently.
Hua Jin also felt an urge to rush to Feng Zun, but when he saw this, he held back, he knew very well that despite not being officially his sister-in-law, he was not, Weng Xue loved Feng Zun as much as her own brother.
"It is already ... Everything is fine now.”
When he saw Hua Jin and Chuyu, he could not help but smile.
He returned after a long disappearance, but the people he had been close to were still alive and well.
That's really a good reason to have a celebration.
Yet…
When he recalled Zhi Guan's death, most of Feng Zun's excitement instantly faded.
"Everybody, wait here for a minute." Feng Zun then walked towards a nearby stretch of river.
Whoosh~
He stretched out his hand and scooped up the void. Then, two large parts of Zhi Guan's body poked out from under the river.
When he saw the series of still-imposed fist marks and wounds on the body of the Black Dragon Snake, Feng Zun's eyes shone with a hint of sadness.
His bond and Zhi Guan were actually not very deep.
They had only met once before, at the Dragon Bone Cliff, when he was helping Zhi Guan's father and clearing the demons in his heart.
Feng Zun simply never expected, that this Black Dragon Snake would be willing to sacrifice its life and be so loyal.
He defended this place, unwilling to retreat even if it killed him!
“Thanks to Senior Zhi Guan we managed to defend this place, and held Yunmeng and his subordinates together so as not to enter into the ruins, but now he has.”.
Chuyu stopped here, he sighed, his expression gloomy.
Hua Jin and Weng Xue also fell silent.
When they saw Feng Zun take his battered and bloodied corpse, they felt a deep sadness flowing in their hearts.
After a moment of silence, Feng Zun spread his spiritual senses and examined the remains of Zhi Guan's body.
The wound of the Black Dragon Snake was too severe, its internal organs had been destroyed, and there was no life force left in its blood or flesh.
Feng Zun's heart sank even more.
If he had arrived even just ten minutes early, surely this would have never happened!
But, just as Feng Zun was about to withdraw his spiritual senses, he came to a halt.
There was a crumbling deep red beast core on Zhi Guan's head, and this was where the center of his cultivation base was.
Even though Zhi Guan's core had already cracked, Feng Zun could still sense a faint awareness within it!
Feng Zun exhaled a long breath and let out a murky air, then smiled.
He finally felt really relieved.
Zhi Guan's injuries were so severe that even a god or immortal would not be able to save him.
However, such a thing certainly could not stop Feng Zun!
Chuyu who was already quite experienced, immediately sharply detected the change in expression from Feng Zun, and he could not help but ask, no matter what,
"Young Master Feng, don't tell me that you can save Senior Zhi Guan?"
"It's..."
Hua Jin and Weng Xue were stunned, both of them subconsciously glanced towards FenG Zun.
