The Feng Zun Journey
Surprise
It was as if this name was a magic spell, which made the surrounding area instantly speechless!
The middle-aged man and the young cultivators were instantly dumbfounded.
"Didn't Feng Zun disappear since a few months ago?" The middle-aged man could not help but ask.
“You haven't heard, Brother Ren? Two days ago, Feng Zun had appeared in the Abyss of the Demon Domain and single-handedly decapitated six Immortal experts from the Hidden Sword Hill Sect, including Chu Yunling.” Wei Ling said.
“On that very day Feng Zun agreed to come to the Divine Sword Palace and duel with His Majesty Guodong Feng!”
This declaration triggered a series of sighs and left everyone in the group dumbfounded.
This news was so shocking that just thinking about it made their hearts tremble.
After all, Feng Zun and Guodong Feng were famous legendary figures throughout the Long Dynasty.
Who could have imagined that the two of them would conduct an unrivalled duel here, at the Divine Sword Palace Mountain?”
Suddenly, a calm voice sounded, "You're wrong."
When they turned their heads and saw Feng Zun, the group's expression changed.
"Young Friend, this is the territory of the Divine Sword Palace, so please don't talk carelessly anymore!" The middle-aged man whispered a reprimand.
Those young cultivators also looked displeased.
Did this insecure and useless man really want to, surprise everyone again with his outrageous lies?
"I was wrong?" Wei Ling was surprised, and she asked with a smile, "Then may I ask, what exactly is my mistake?"
“I came to the Divine Sword Palace Mountain to take Shuoxue and Tianba with me, not specifically to duel with Guodong Feng.” Feng Zun said.
The others actually considered his actions to be extremely unreasonable.
Is... Is it with his madness, this time he disguised himself as Feng Zun?
The young girl in green dress could not help but yell, “Young Master, earlier, you bragged about going to take Shuoxue away. It had actually already crossed the line, but now you are precisely disguised as His Highness Feng Zun? This is no longer a joke. If you keep acting like this, then you'll get yourself killed. I hope you can understand this?"
The other youths also frowned.
Feng Zun couldn't help but laugh, "What's the point for me to disguise myself?"
The middle-aged man however was more experienced, he immediately sensed that something was amiss, and he could not help but evaluate Feng Zun once more.
Wei Ling could barely contain herself and asked, "Sister Ren, don't tell me this is..."
The middle-aged man laughed awkwardly, “Sister Wei, him and I. met along the way. I have absolutely no idea about his origin or identity.”
Wei Ling's expression was filled with uncertainty.
At the same time, a serious voice rang out in the distance, "Older Wei, why are you still lingering near the gate, could something happen?"
A tall figure appeared after this voice.
He had an elegant and scholar-like manners, and he wore a dark-colored robe.
A group of high-level experts swarmed behind him, further highlighting his outstanding status.
When they saw this newcomer, the bright yellow-robed middle-aged man and the others trembled.
Their faces were filled with admiration, and they immediately bowed to give their regards.
The dark-robed man was none other than the leader of the Divine Sword Palace, Yuan Jiuzhen.
Apart from themselves, those young cultivators instantly became mute.
Yuan Jiuzhen's!
To them, Wei Ling alone was already someone so illustrious, that they could only look at him from afar. And the leader of the Divine Sword Palace was arguably a god-like existence to them!
“Don't just stand there! Quickly salute and greet the sect leader!” the middle-aged man reminded them.
The young cultivators immediately reacted as if awakening from a dream.
They hurriedly bowed, all of them becoming quiet and agitated.
Except for Feng Zun, who was still unmoved.
He was like a stork among chickens, and that difference made him stand out too much.
Yuan Jiuzhen and the others involuntarily turned their heads towards him.
When he saw Feng Zun's figure clearly, Yuan Jiuzhen was instantly dumbfounded. Then he exclaimed, “Feng Zun!? You... Since when did you get here?"
The leader of this Divine Sword Palace, it seemed clear that he had lost most of his composure, and he looked so shocked.
There was a commotion amongst the high-level experts behind him as well, none of them could remain calm.
Who among the high-level experts did not recognize Feng Zun?
Who would have thought Feng Zun would appear so suddenly?
They didn't even get any warning!
When they saw the reaction of Yuan Jiuzhen and the others, no matter if it was Wei Ling, the middle-aged man, and those young cultivators, all of them were completely dumbfounded.
The atmosphere became strange and rather heavy.
A continuous drizzle of spring rain filled the air with mist.
A golden-white robed young man stood in the rain, with his hands behind his back.
The misty rain atmosphere increasingly gave him a mysterious aura.
...
After a few breaths, Yuan Jiuzhen steadied his emotions, then clenched his fists to greet, “It has been several months since we last met, Fellow Daoist Feng. You are even more impressive than before.”
That one sentence managed to disperse the strange and gripping atmosphere earlier.
The yellow-robed middle-aged man and the young cultivators looked strange, all of them had expressions as if they were in conflict.
They traveled here with Feng Zun, but with a laughable — and unfortunately — they did not realize that they had a monstrous expert in their midst!
“You are busy setting up the formation, don't tell me that it was aimed at me?” Said Feng Zun while looking at the cultivators who were busy throughout the mountain.
"How could we possibly think of such a thing?" Yuan Jiuzhen smiled bitterly, “I won't hide it from you, we upgraded our formation out of fear of the impact of the power arising, <TAG1>, from your duel with His Majesty Guodong Feng that will probably cover our entire mountain.
"Oh," said Feng Zun. “So that means if I want to go with Miss Shuoxue, I have to defeat Guodong Feng first?”
Yuan Jiuzhen hesitated, then said, “Daoist Dean, you may not have known this yet, but two days ago, Guodong Feng had made clear his decision..
