The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 142 - The Fenghuang Man
Fenghuang from a distance spun back, in just three seconds right before his back hit the ground Fenghuang caught him. Xue Zhan above Fenghuang's back grumbled furiously.
"You're gonna kill me?"
"Hahahha feel! This is revenge."
Xue Zhan almost plucked out a Fenghuang feather again but he was unwilling to fight, his eyes combed along the edge of the abyss to look for the whereabouts of Xiang Yi Bai and it was true that the man had been waiting for them.
If Xiang Yi Bai could climb up the walls of the Regret Trench that easily, why would he still insist on staying within it? Now Xue Zhan understood very well that Xiang Yi Bai held high regard for responsibility, and that responsibility was guarding the Ground Stone.
Fenghuang landed happily as she could finally feel the air outside. Xiang Yi Bai was awkward to see the world around him.
In his mind Xiang Yi Bai was sure that there were still some people who knew him so well as Xue Zhan, therefore rather than having to face the problems ahead he gave something to Xue Zhan.
"First of all we must wear masks."
The mask is a white mask that only has eye and nose holes, without a special pattern or shape so it does not attract attention. Xue Zhan immediately put it on.
"What about Fenghuang? Is it okay to take him to town?"
"You, yourself, already know what you want to do after you get out of this ravine?" xiang Yi Bai asked back, Xue Zhan nodded steadily.
"Of course I know."
"good. For Fenghuang I think he can change his form into a human. Isn't that right, Fenghuang?"
Xue Zhan was surprised, a demon turned into a human? Never thought of before. But when he saw that Fenghuang did not respond to anything, Xue Zhan was sure that it was the answer yes.
Since Fenghuang had reached the highest stage in stealth development, he had the ability to speak, had emotions and was even able to change his form into a human.
Xue Zhan waited until Fenghuang completely changed his form into a figure that made him unable to blink. Xiang Yi Bai was acting ordinary, yet his disciple Xue Zhan was shocked instead of artificial, he even screeched.
"It turns out Fenghuang is a girl?!" Xue Zhan held his head with two panicked hands. "Geez, what the hell is this. What the fuck!! I thought you were a man, fooled me! You're liar!"
A girl in a beautiful golden red robe appeared, her lips red and her eyes plump. So beautiful is matchless, even the original humans themselves are very rare who have a beauty like this. He opened an eyeball that was as red as Xue Zhan, impressed gracefully and also unfriendly.
Anyone who saw Fenghuang at this moment would definitely think of her as an arrogant beautiful noble girl, whereas it was foolishly eleven twelve with Xue Zhan.
"Lying when?"
"You're really a girl?" Xue Zhan limp.
"Haha. It's just so shocking for her." Xiang Yi Bai shook his head while continuing his talk.
"Phoenix is known as the Queen of the Sun. From there you should have known a little bit of the picture. Fenghuang was indeed a little rough as a man, but he was not a male bird."
Fenghuang turned her sharp eyes towards Xue Zhan, "why? You're disappointed you can't be rude to me anymore?" He still held a grudge because Xue Zhan liked to pull out his wing feathers. Xue Zhan.
"That's it. If you're a man I've made you fall."
They started walking into the forest. At that place Xue Zhan began to feel the memories of five years ago return. When he suffered serious injuries and had to run chased by the enemy. The Enemy who is the brother of his own College. Or those who swore to uphold justice in the Empire but in fact turned their backs on their own oaths.
Xiang Yi Bai and Fenghuang stopped and followed the young man.
At the end of the ravine is seen a stone tied with cloth, there is a carving of his name there. Someone was praying in front of the tomb while closing his eyes.
From behind, Xue Zhan did not recognize who the young man was. Her hair was elongated and her clothes were not taken care of, her body was also thin without nutrition. From behind the trees Xue Zhan peeked silently, Fenghuang half whispered.
"Who?"
"Eitherway. But someone made a tombstone that says my name there."
They immediately lowered their heads as the foreign youth turned around, when Xue Zhan saw more clearly the figure was Xian Shen.
The young man who used to be so handsome and brilliant, admired by many women and came from a noble family who without flaws now looked like a short-fed bully. His wrinkled face line made him look older, his clothes were tangled, a thin mustache was visible on his face that was not taken care of.
I don't know what happened to his friend, Xue Zhan wanted to see him but Xiang Yi Bai held back. They had to keep their identities a secret if they did not want to deal with the matter.
Pity ambushed him. Xue Zhan did not expect Xian Shen's life to be this ruined. But at least his friend is still alive.
"Thank you for always visiting, Young Master Xian. Among us you are the one who cares the most."
He muttered as he looked at Xian Shen's back who was walking away down the mountain.
"Red Fangs have something to do with attacking the Earth Ruler Elemental Stone, they also had time to say they would target me." Xue Zhan turned his head towards Xiang Yi Bai. "I have a feeling that they have a role in all the problems that arise."
"Want to look for it?"
Xue Zhan weighed for a moment.
"I want to look into the river in the Eternal Valley and look for Master Kang's trail. What can?"
Fenghuang who was stared at by Xiang Yi Bai and Xue Zhan frowned. "What look-look? Whether I want to come with you or not. I don't have no job. But yeah, that's it. Seeing human folly up close seems like fun."
Xue Zhan shook his head. "You want to be a demon, you want to be a human being, the shitty rate still doesn't change."
For the last time Xue Zhan saw the tomb at the end of the ravine, recalling everything that happened behind. His friend and master, he wanted to look for all of them.
"One by one ... I will uncover the truth and finish my work. Just wait." her inner later. Xiang Yi Bai led the way while telling a lot of things.
As well as Fenghuang, the girl occasionally chased after butterflies and ate the fruits of the forest she encountered. Fenghuang was very fond of the upper world, she had not stopped developing smiles since they walked.
"I actually also want to see the state of affairs in the center of Diqiu Empire city. Is entry into the system tightened?"
"It should need permission. But I know a place where we can enter freely."
Xue Zhan drew a proud smile. "Follow me," he asked as he turned north. The place where he used to train a lot and in that place there was a giant statue of the Holy Swordsman.
Long enough to walk until finally the three reached the edge of the hill and watched a giant statue whose head touched the clouds.
