The Journey of Feng Zun 2
Chapter 52

The answer seems to have been revealed. However, this answer made their hearts tremble, and they felt indescribable confusion. 

What kind of terrifying existence was Chang Zongxiang, the Netherworld Judge? Whatever he did must have a deeper meaning behind it.

Palace Master Zeng Mo initially refused to let Chang Ziyan participate in the expedition to the Luo Mainland because of his outstanding status, because as a father he naturally could not let anything happen to him.

But unexpectedly, the leader of the Chang Family sent a letter saying that he wished he could participate to gain experience and as a trial.

Only then did the palace lord agree.

But now, the Ninth Zengtian and Lue Ye realized that the setting of the Chang Family was not as simple as it looked on the surface!

The crux of the matter was the pendant, as well as the orders of the Netherworld Judge!

If the pendant was merely a reserve defensive treasure, it was naturally better to hide it so that no one would find it.

Yet the Netherworld Judge did not allow Chang Ziyan to do that.

Wh why?

Judge Netherworld said that if no one recognized the pendant, then it would make no difference when carrying it openly or hiding it.

But if anyone recognized him, they would naturally give him face and refrain from making trouble for Chang Ziyan!

That's the core of the problem.

It seemed that the Netherworld Magistrate had long suspected that there would be someone in the Luo Mainland, who would be able to recognize the pendant he had perfected.

That was why he allowed Chang Ziyan to leave, and why he had her place the pendant on his waist!

It was like fishing for something. The pendant is the bait, and the fish will take the bait when it sees it!

And today, Feng Zun had become the fish in question. 

By looking at this, he had ascertained the logic of the Netherworld Judge!

However after they overcame their astonishment, they became even more confused than before.

No matter how opposing or dazzling Feng Zun's talent was, he was ultimately just a young man in the Immortal Realm. 

How could he possibly attract the attention of a Great Netherworld Judge?

Moreover, it made him have to send Chang Ziyan to the Luo Mainland, by bringing along the pendant he had refined?

“Even if our ancestors were fishing, he should have been eyeing a big fish. How could he possibly be interested in... a small junior like Feng Zun?” 

Chang Ziyan had clearly guessed some of his ancestor's intentions. He was stunned, but more than that, he was confused.

The atmosphere in the secret room became restrained and felt claustrophobic, as the three people felt a tremor in their hearts.

Their conclusion was too unbelievable!

A long time passed before the Ninth Zengtian calmed himself down and said seriously, “There are only two possibilities...

"The first one was that Feng Zun had something that caught the attention of His Highness the Netherworld Magistrate. The second one is that the origin of Feng Zun is truly incredible!” 

Chang Ziyan said confidently, “Who in Netherworld doesn't know how high my ancestor's standards are? There was no way he would be interested in the treasures belonging to a mere Immortal cultivator!”

The background!

The Ninth Zengtian and Lue Ye looked at each other, both of them getting more astonished and confused. 

What kind of background did a young man from the Luo Mainland have, such that the Netherworld Judge considered himself so important?

Chang Ziyan asked puzzledly, “What might be wrong about her background?”

Here in the Luo Mainland, Feng Zun was an extremely dazzling and heaven-defying figure, and people were always talking about his legendary achievements.

This of course attracted the attention of Zeng Mo Palace. However, no matter how they looked at it, the origin of Feng Zun still seemed very ordinary and meaningless.

He came from a remote country, with no roots or sect supporting him.

There's nothing weird about all that.

Moreover, everyone had long since ensured that Feng Zun was not a person possessed by an old monster, nor was he an ancient time monster, who had risen after successfully surviving the Darkness Ancient Guard Energy.

Nothing from his background is worth noting.

This was why Chang Ziyan thought it was so strange, that the Ninth Zengtian and Lue Ye thought it was Feng Zun's background that had caught his grandfather's attention.

The Ninth Zengtian calmed himself down, and his expression turned a little strange, “Feng Zun is a peerless generation of young geniuses, the more ordinary his background, the more bizarre this is.”

He then launched a detailed analysis, "Don't forget, a few years ago, he once drew a terrible tribulation that nearly leveled the entire Han Empire, from that day on, he became a completely different person. And that day marked the beginning of his unstoppable ascent to fame!"

“Only in a few years, his name soared, suppressing the top otherworldly factions in the various Dynasties...

“Then he too..”

The Ninth Zengtian's soft voice echoed throughout the room, as he mentioned almost every one of Feng Zun's legendary achievements one by one.

Although Chang Ziyan and Lue Ye already knew most of this, they listened attentively, showing no signs of impatience.

“Although he was only in the Immortal Realm, but here, in this Luo Mainland, he was the strongest Immortal cultivator ever! With him, even the modern Immortal Ascension was suppressed to the point that they could not even raise their heads!"

“And all these changes happened in just less than one year!”

In less than a year, a young man from a remote country, someone without a clear identity, became famous like a star that illuminated the entire sky of the Luo Mainland, and earned the nickname of the world-famous Immortal Master Feng Zun. 

It really is like a miracle!

Even in the Netherworld, with its entire long history, there had never been a historical record that mentioned anyone capable of achieving this!

“In the face of the fact of this miraculous and unbelievable truth, who would dare to believe that the origin of Feng Zun was an ordinary person?” ask the Ninth Zengtian.

Chang Ziyan and Lue Ye could not say anything about it.

“And do not forget, that the descendant of the Mystery Lantern Clan has appeared by his side,” added the Ninth Zengtian. “In the Netherworld, their founder, Liu Yaoshan, was an extremely mysterious top expert who was not inferior to His Highness the Netherworld Magistrate.

“But now, one of his heirs did not appear just like that in Mainland Luo, he appeared by Feng Zun's side. And that too is a really unusual thing!”

Chang Ziyan could no longer hold back her astonishment and confusion, “Don't say that her background is somehow closely related to Netherworld?”
