The Journey of Feng Zun 2
Chapter 94
Feng Zun had previously already decided to leave the Luo Mainland, and went to the Netherworld World with the Ninth Zengtian of Zeng Mo Palace within six months.
If he did not overcome this latent threat before he left, neither the imperial family nor anyone else close to him would be in danger.
"That's why they were sure that you would agree," Zu Qinghan said.
He added, "Actually, I think finishing this with one fight will also be good for you. Of course, assuming you can beat them."
"Given all that, why did they choose the fifth day of the fifth lunar month?" asked Feng Zun.
Zu Qinghan pondered over it, then said, "Most likely, they used this time to prepare. After all, they were not stupid enough to rush to death. They dare to challenge me, so I'm sure they have a mature plan."
Feng Zun smiled, "That's what I think."
Zu Qinghan then took advantage of the opportunity to ask, "Are you going to accept their challenge?"
"Where do they want to solve this problem?" asked Feng Zun.
Zu Qinghan did not pause to think, "The Abyss of the Demon Domain!"
Feng Zun said as he thought, "When a large army faces off, they must know themselves and their enemies, and attack at the right time and location. Did they probably think the Demon Domain Gorge would give them a geographical advantage?"
"I'm not sure whether geography will give them an advantage or not" Zu Qinghan said, "But as far as my knowledge is concerned, the Abyss of the Demon Domain has changed since the start of the Radiant Era. The most eye-catching change was the appearance of some remnant bodies of Immortal God experts!"
Feng Zun's eyelids twitched.
Previously he and Yuan Xu had visited the Demon Domain Gorge together, where Yuan Xu took the remains of his original body, which he left there fifty thousand years ago!
And Zu Qinghan's words made him hypothesize that long ago, Yuan Xu wasn't the only Immortal God to fall in the Abyss of the Demon Domain!
Was the person who killed those Immortal G.o.ds the same prison warden, who had injured Yuan Xu so badly?
"Daoist Fellow, if you feel unsure, there is no reason you can't visit the Devil Domain Gorge right now and see the circumstances" Zu Qinghan said.
Feng Zun shook his head, "They chose to fight me there, so I'm sure they've already made preparations. No more making sure of the location."
Feng Zun paused for a moment, then said, "Daoist partner, can I trouble you to tell the factions involved, that I will be there on the fifth?"
"No problem." Zu Qinghan immediately agreed.
After chatting for a while longer, the Purple Cloud Pavilion Leader said goodbye and left.
Yet still Feng Zun was immersed in contemplation.
They really wanted to use this battle, and end the grudges between them for good. Otherwise, as long as Feng Zun was still around, then they would live in prolonged terror, unable to eat or sleep quietly.
But if they dare to pose such a challenge, they should have a source of confidence. In fact they most likely have an ace that will be able to destroy it!
But what kind of trump card is that?
Feng Zun could not understand it, but he was unwilling to think about the matter any further.
In this world, he was not afraid of any cultivators, even if they had trump cards that were capable of tearing down the heavens though.
How could he be afraid?
That very night, Feng Zun left the Falling Star Mountain with Shuoxue and returned to the Nine Furnace City.
…
The same night.
The Great Liangzhu River.
The gray-robed youth, Qing Ruo, stood in midair near the gate of the Eternal Dragon Palace Ruins.
His eyes shone with an ice-cold glint as he muttered, "Lian Ling, this time around, I will definitely take you away from the Last Rest. That way, nothing will ever separate us again… "
As he spoke, Qing Ruo's thin figure exploded with transparent silver flames.
His long black hair was whitened, and his complexion dimmed and chapped, as if his life force had been exhausted, and his figure instantly aged, like one who had gone through countless ages of years.
He stretched his right hand back, as if he wanted to draw a sword. A snow-white light emerged from his spine, dazzling the world and illuminating the darkness of the night sky.
Clangs! Clangs! Clangs!
On each side he slashed, there sounded a snowy flash of light and a deafening deadly clang, like a demon roaring furiously. Just his voice alone was enough to make someone tremble.
At the same time, Qing Ruo felt a threat, and the Absolute Nine Formations that enveloped the gate of the ruins suddenly rumbled.
...

The Last Resting Place was the sacred location of the Eternal Dragon Palace, whereas Lian Ling was the Sword Spirit belonging to Bai Chen, the second generation Immortal Dragon Palace Leader. And at this moment, Qing Ruo came back to save Lian Ling.
