The Feng Zun Journey
Yuan Xu's Request

A warden!

The Nine-Headed Bird, self-proclaimed as the 'God of Compassion', also met an extremely powerful warden, as he explored the Sixth Star Ruins. Their clash ended with his imprisonment in the Blood Cave God Prison!

“The truly disgusting thing is that when that bastard attacked us, he was actually pretending to be doing a task that was the will of heaven. I've never seen such hypocrisy in my entire life.” Yuan Xu looked so furious. 

A moment later, he said bitterly, “Still, I must say, that he is really strong. Our cultivation is about the same, but his combat power is truly terrifying."

“Which was even more incredible, he could control the power of the Ancient Guardians Energy. He suppressed and captured almost all of my subordinates easily, and even I was made to suffer greatly. Only thanks to the Sword Shield Amulet that you gave me, it finally allowed a portion of my soul fragment, lucky enough to be able to survive. Otherwise, I'll never be able to save my life from that warden."

He let out a long sigh, “Although I survived, the Darkness Ancient Guard Energy has finally enveloped the Luo Mainland. The present me is just the rest of a broken soul, I can't possibly refute it."

“Because I had no other choice, I searched the nearby battlefield and entered this broken shell or body, then lay dormant like a pitiful coward. Recently, after I had just managed to recover some of my vitality, I finally dared to wander around again in the outside world."

Feng Zun furrowed his brows as a memory fragment appeared in his mind,

The Sword Shield Talisman Yuan Xu was referring to was the talisman that his teacher, Long Shangdi, gave to Little Leaf or Yuan Yu.

"I remember clearly that I gave the amulet to your brother. How did you get it?"

Yuan Xu said as if it was very true, "When I decided to go to explore the Luo Mainland, he was worried that I would encounter danger, so he gave the talisman to me."

"...."

Feng Zun did not say anything, but he already understood the point.

Fifty thousand years ago, when the Ancient Dividing Energy befell the Luo Land, a warden from the Heaven Will Sect appeared in this world. His goal was to search for the core of the world, Vena Luo.

Everything that happened to him, it was because he almost fell into the hands of the warden, so Yuan Xu ended up in this state.

Was the warden Yuan Xu meant to be the same creature, hiding in the depths of the Meteorite Gorge? Feng Zun was not so sure.

Moreover, according to the Nine-headed Bird King, there was more than one warden from the Heaven Will Sect!

“Sister-in-law, I'm glad to have found you. Otherwise, I don't know what I should do.” Ye Xun said, his face full of happiness and excitement.

He really looked down on his status, he did not look like the Netherworld Ming Emperor at all. 

If the experts from the Netherworld Wisdom Hall saw it, they would not be able to possibly believe that this was the founder of their sect.

Feng Zun was worried that if Yuan Yu knew, that the younger brother he cared about above all else was in such a miserable state, he would definitely be furious …

Feng Zun could not help but recall a figure who had once been close to his teacher, Yuan Yu, the first Empress in the history of the Ghost Serpent Clan.

He steadied his emotions, then asked, "How can you recognize me?"

Yuan Xu said, “Sister-in-law, you look very different, and your appearance is slightly different from his previous life, but your temperament and attitude have not changed much at all. Besides, I'm your sister-in-law! How could I fail to recognize you?”

"...."

Something suddenly occurred to Feng Zun, “Before meeting me, why didn't you seek help from the Netherworld Wisdom Hall? The faction you have built from the bottom up to the top?”

"Simply makes sense." Feng Zun nodded.

Ye Xun rubbed his hands together and said slightly embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, there is something complicated, so I need your help."

"As long as you stop calling me 'sister-in-law', I don't mind helping you" Feng Zun said casually.

"All right!" 

Yuan Xu immediately agreed, then immediately added, "I will call you as the best brother in my heart."

Feng Zun could not help but knead his forehead. 

Just as the teacher thought, this fellow would indeed not be able to change in the slightest, he insisted on calling his teacher as his brother-in-law as usual, and his disposition was completely beyond repair.

“Quick tell me what you want.” said Feng Zun.

Feng Zun was willing to do this due to the consideration of his teacher's closeness to Yuan Yu. How could he just be silent about something related to his teacher?

Yuan Xu took a deep breath, then said seriously, “Sister-in-law, I want to ask you. Ah no, Big Brother Long, I want to ask you to help me find the body I left behind, in the Abyss of Demon Domain all those years ago!"

Feng Zun asked puzzledly, “Fifty thousand years have passed, I worry that your body may have long since decayed, why still intend to take it?”

Yuan Xu hurriedly said, “Sister-in-law..Ah no, Big Brother Long, you don't know about this, but even though my body was badly damaged, it wasn't completely destroyed. Before my soul shards left my battered body, I had used the supreme secret technique of the Ghost Serpent Clan, to seal the traces of the power core within the body.”

He paused for a moment, then added, "As long as I can take it back, when the Radiant Age arrives, I can recover my final cultivation base!"

After saying everything, he looked at Feng Zun expectantly.

Feng Zun thought about it, then nodded in agreement.

He was indeed planning to return to the Nine Furnace City after completing the Spiritual Manifestation Tribulation. 

He had also promised Emperor Long that he would help refine the Nine Furnace Great Formation.

And it just so happened that the Devil Domain Gorge was within the border region of the Long Dynasty. It was one of the three most dangerous forbidden zones.

Moreover, he was the younger brother of Yuan Yu, someone who knew his teacher closely. So Feng Zun could not possibly remain silent and become an observer.

When he saw that Feng Zun agreed, Yuan Xu's expression exploded in excitement, “Thank you very much, Brother-in-law! I know that you will definitely help me, Brother-in-law! Ha ha!"

"...."

Feng Zun could not say anything. 

It seems unlikely that this person can fix his bad habit of calling teachers as 'sister-in-law.'

Or rather, he had never planned to change his nature in the first place!

Note: Feng Zun used his teacher's identity huh. So Yuan Xu called him brother-in-law and Brother Long.
