The Journey of Feng Zun 2
Chapter 51

By the time they heard the full story, the Ninth Zengtian and Lue Ye were no longer as calm as before. They looked grim, and their expressions contained unbearable worry and confusion.

“It might not be surprising if he could see your cultivation base, or your innate talent with just a glance. Knowing the name of the highest heritage of our sect is also not strange.” muttered the Ninth Zengtian. "The strange thing was how he could tell that the ninth chapter of the Classic Nightmare, and the Mysterious Profound Truth recorded the Void Face Dream Spell!"

Lue Ye nodded, an ordinary “Murid can only develop the first three chapters, while an inheritance disciple and deacon can develop the first six chapters. Only the person who has the status of a protector of the dharma upwards, has access to the secret mantra of the ninth chapter."

“In other words, even inside Zeng Mo Palace, those who are below the level of dharma protectors, are, never knowing that the ninth chapter of Classic Nightmare and Deep Understanding records the Empty Face Dream Spell.”

Lue Ye frowned, “So why did Feng Zun know about it? Isn't that too weird!”

Chang Ziyan sighed, "Right? How did that person know?”

“It was just the first part that was suspicious about this.” The Ninth Zengtian took a deep breath and said, “The second one is the Mysterious Charm Bone, which is the talent of a peak soul cultivator even in the Netherworld. Ordinary Immortal Ascension experts could not possibly sense it. But not only did Feng Zun catch a glimpse of it, he even neutralized it easily, so it was impossible if he didn't know everything beforehand!”

The Ninth Zengtian expression was truly solemn.

This was a young man from the Luo Mainland, yet he knew of their greatest heritage and supreme techniques like the back of his own hands. 

There is definitely something unusual going on here!

Chang Ziyan pursed her lips, “I refrained from charging all out precisely because I could sense that something was amiss, and that was how she squeezed seven Netherworld Sacred Pills from me!”

As she said that last part, this incredible beauty gritted her teeth, her eyes reddened as if they were almost spouting fire.

"Seven!?" 

The expressions of the Ninth Zengtian and Lue Ye darkened, and their hearts ached.

The Sacred Pill of Netherworld was not a cabbage! Even in Zeng Mo Palace, it was top grade medicine. Even an authority figure of their level, had only a few such pills.

Yet Feng Zun had obtained seven through blackmail in one move!

“It looks like he sees you as a fat sheep that can be squeezed easily.” Lue Ye said with a bitter laugh.

Chang Ziyan's background was extremely outstanding and transcendent, so she naturally did not lack the Netherworld Sacred Pill.

But it was most likely for that reason that Feng Zun saw him as a fat sheep…

“No, something must be wrong here!” 

The Ninth Zengtian suddenly furrowed his brows when he realized something, “Ziyan, how did he know that you had the pill?”

As soon as hearing this, Lue Ye's eyelids twitched, she had just noticed it, and she also felt something suspicious about this.

It was true, it seemed that not only did Feng Zun know about the Netherworld Holy Pill, he even seemed to have already confirmed that Chang Ziyan had the pill in his pocket!

Chang Ziyan said sadly, “If I knew, would I have come to hand it over just like that?”

The Ninth Zengtian could not say anything about it.

"That's true, I'm sure that the blind old man from the Mystery Lantern Clan has told him,” Chang Ziyan said as he nodded. “Again, he has been lurking around the Eternal Dark Domain lately.”

Lue Ye shook his head, “There's no way the blind old man could figure it out. When we came to the Luo Mainland, the lord of the palace ordered that no one divulge the secret of your identity. Even if that blind old man had an all-encompassing power, he would never be able to uncover your background.”

Chang Ziyan looked flabbergasted, "Really?"

“True.” says Lue Ye.

“But with just a glance he can guess my family's last name!” chang Ziyan said confusedly. “Don't tell me that he actually recognized the jade pendant my grandfather gave me?”

As he spoke, he pulled the pendant from his waist, his expression changing erratically.

Ninth Zengtian exclaimed, “What is the pendant... The work of His Highness Judge Netherworld?”

Chang Ziyan nodded.

The Ninth Zengtian and Lue Ye looked at each other, and both of them gasped. Their hearts trembled, and they became increasingly aware of the severity of the matter. 

Even they did not know the origin of the pendant, yet Feng Zun seemed to have used it to know Chang Ziyan's background. 

This is so unbelievable!

“Origin Feng Zun proposal is definitely not simple!” After a while, Lue Ye furrowed her brows. “I'm even suspicious, just like that blind old man, he might as well be from Netherworld!”

The Ninth Zengtian furrowed his brows, “But have you ever heard of someone from the Netherworld, who was able to know the legacy techniques and secret arts of Zeng Mo Palace like the back of their own hands, and being able to recognize the results of His Highness Judge Netherworld's work in an instant? And he is also very young!”

Lue Ye and Chang Ziyan both instantly fell silent.

Everything about this seemed more suspicious, and they felt completely lost. 

The more they thought about it, everything seemed to get even stranger.

Suddenly, the Ninth Zengtian seemed to have realized something, “Ziyan, did Your Highness Judge Netherworld give you that pendant because of your expedition to the Luo Mainland?”

“You could say so.” said Chang Ziyan.

“Then... Does he give you any further instructions?”

Chang Ziyan's fine brows furrowed. After thinking for a moment, he said, “My father said it can protect me, and I can use it to save my life.”

"Oh yeah!" 

Chang Ziyan suddenly remembered something, “At that moment, I had said that if the pendant was really valuable, then I should hide it carefully and keep it, I should have, as a backup in an emergency. However, my father insisted that I hang the locket on my waist. He said it was an ancestor's order, and if anyone recognized him, they wouldn't bother me to respect our ancestors' reputation.''

“At that time, I thought nothing of it, but now come to think of it..” Chang Ziyan could not help but say, “It is fitting that a man named Feng Zun said that he would not let me go if I was not surnamed Chang! He...He must have recognized the pendant my ancestors gave me!”

The expressions of the Ninth Zengtian and Lue Ye were increasingly filled with uncertainty.
