Chapter 120

The thirteenth day of the fifth lunar month.

Inside the page.

Feng Zun sat down on his woven chair and asked, "So you mean the gray sparrows that always accompany you... have died?"

A'Cang sat beside him, his facial expression looking very sad. He nodded and said bitterly, "When we left the Ninth Star Ruins, we were planning to come visit you, please, but the warden suddenly appeared and attacked us as we were about to leave the Eternal Lotus Island. Little sparrows fight the prison warden, but unfortunately, he loses the battle…"

The girl with the charming and soothing face had just woken up from her coma, and only after Shuoxue explained the situation did she finally realize that she had been saved.

Feng Zun said warmly, "I'm also in condolences. Because I killed the warden, so let's just say the sparrows have their revenge."

With that, he flipped his hand, revealing a pendant that was like a command token, "I obtained this from the warden's body. Look, do you recognize the picture there?"

The command token pendant was the size of a palm with a red color as bright as fire, it was like iron, but not iron, like jade, but not jade, it was engraved with a strange, wrinkled blood-colored diagram. 

The words "Tianshi Ninth" were carved on the back in ancient writing, the writing was carved with a very striking, sharp and as strong as the tip of a sword.

A'Cang examined him, then said, "I think the warden called himself the Ninth Tianshi, which may have been his real name, but it could have been his title."

"And a blood-colored totem shaped like a blood-colored dao altar? I also can't know for sure about his origin."

He paused for a moment, then again said, "But there is a similar blood-colored totem on the warden's forehead. Do you think it's a sect symbol behind him?"

Feng Zun nodded, "That's very likely, I've checked the token, and it's made of an extremely rare material, Mysterious Iron containing magnetic elements. There was a formation within the pendant made from mysterious runes and dao seals, and it was most likely the work of an Imperial Apex Realm expert."

He fiddled with the medal as he said, "If it's not wrong, the seal is some kind of key. However, it is difficult to say what should have been opened with that key...

"It was likely to open the prison gates, or perhaps, a sealed treasure. Of course, the first possibility is greater. He calls himself a warden anyway, so he must be in charge of overseeing a prison, which may only be accessible to those with the keys."

When he heard that, A'Cang was stunned, and his face was filled with confusion, "Daoist Dean, aren't you being too perceptive? You actually deduced so many clues from a single command token!"

Feng Zun laughed, "That's just a hypothesis."

Although he did not say it out loud, he felt it was a pity that he had to kill the prison warden in one strike to save A'Cang.

Had Feng Zun captured the warden alive, he would have had more than guesses. He could have interrogated her and obtained the truth directly.

A'Cang said seriously, "But I think your hypothesis makes a lot of sense. I'm sure it's not too far from the truth."

He spoke with genuine approval and admiration. This kind of pure, natural compliment is always the most pleasant to hear.

This is different from the usual licking character of Zhi Guan and Zhuan Long. 

"Daoist Dean, do you think the Ninth Tianshi pendant is the key to the Luo Mainland?" ask A'Cang.

He thought for a moment, then again said, "This is the world of the Ninth Star Ruins, and his name contains the word 'nine'. Do you think he is the prison warden in charge of overseeing the Ninth Star Ruins?"

Feng Zun nodded, "That's very likely, the faction behind the prison guards worked according to the expression, 'Dao Heaven reduces where there are advantages and adds where there are flaws', they claim that they are carrying out the will of the heavens.

The word "Ninth Tianshi" most likely has two layers of meaning.

"Tianshi" refers to the angel guarding the heavens, who is thought to be the faction behind the prison guards, while "Nine" may represent the Ninth Star Ruins guarded by the Ninth Tianshi!

If this hypothesis is correct, then the other eight star ruins, they have their respective prison warden, and their titles may be the First Tianshi, the Second Tianshi, the Third Tianshi.

A moment later, Feng Zun said, "But I can say for sure, that this command token is not the key to the Ninth Star Ruins. Because, with the might of the Imperial Apex that the Ninth Tianshi possessed and the support of the Ancient Dividing Energy Force, entering the Ninth Star Ruins would not be difficult at all."

Fifty thousand years ago, Yuan Xu had fought the warden of this prison, and he mentioned his cultivation base to Feng Zun.

A few days ago, when he killed the Ninth Heaven in the Abyss of the Demon Domain, Feng Zun could also sense it.

Fortunately, the foundation of the Ninth Tianshi was severely damaged, so its vitality was much reduced. He was truly like a phoenix without feathers.

Had the Ninth Tianshi been at his peak, it would not have been easy for Feng Zun to kill him.

Shortly after, Feng Zun stored the command token pendant.

There is no doubt that all of this hides many secrets. He could not see it now, but in the end, everything would definitely become clear.

"By the way, do you have any plans after this?" Feng Zun asked softly.

A'Cang shook his head, looking puzzled, "As I leave the Ninth Star Ruins, I plan to come looking for you, then lead the little sparrow towards the depths of the starry sky, I plan on coming to look for you, then lead the little sparrow towards the depths of the starry sky, to find the origin of the Darkness Ancient Guard Energy...

"But the sparrow is now no longer with me, and my vitality is severely damaged.Even if I want to continue my journey into the depths of the starry sky alone, I cannot…" 

The young girl's expression looked extremely lonely and mellow.

Feng Zun thought for a moment, then looked directly at the beautiful face of A'Cang  . 

"I have a suggestion for you," he said warmly, "How about this..."
