The Swordsman of Heaven
Chapter 7: Zhao Feng's Escape From Suffering

Chapters 7.

In a cave that was famous for its enormous Qi pressure, there appeared the body of a young man who was lying on the ground.

The young man's eyes were closed, a sign that his consciousness was still not fully restored. The young man was none other than Zhao Feng, who had previously been made confused by his displacement which was in just one blink of an eye.

But as a silent atmosphere began to envelop the entire corner of the Cave, Zhao Feng's eyes suddenly opened completely. It appears that both pupils of his eyes have now changed color to gold, which previously the color of his pupils was brown. Absolutely amazing change.

But the color change in both of his pupils was so amazing, but his strength! Now Zhao Feng could see very clearly the area within the Cave, which he had previously only been able to see endless darkness.

At the moment when Zhao Feng was in confusion as he looked at the surrounding area, he unintentionally stared at one of the golden-coloured Crystals behind him.

It was a Crystal that had previously emitted a golden light, but it was now just an ordinary, golden-colored Ice Crystal.

But the moment Zhao Feng's eyes were fixed on that golden-colored Ice Crystal, the oddity started to reoccur. A golden light slowly began to emerge from within the crystal and instantly reflected the light onto the other Ice Crystals that were all over the Cave.

Each Crystal that receives the light, will reflect the light back to the other Crystal, so until the reflected light finally hits the last Crystal.

When the reflection of the light hit the last Crystal in the middle of the Cave, suddenly the walls of the Cave shook very violently.

It was even so great that the ceiling of the Cave began to collapse downwards. Of course the situation was very dangerous for Zhao Feng, considering that it could have been all those ruins burying him alive.

But when Zhao Feng was confused to find a way out, suddenly the cave wall behind the golden-colored Ice Crystal began to open wide.

Seeing that there was a golden opportunity before him, Zhao Feng thoughtlessly ran towards the freedom that was opening so wide in front of him.

Every footstep Zhao Feng took, more and more ruins began to fall. It was as if the Cave did not want Zhao Feng to be free in a living state.

But a very strong determination would achieve a freedom, Zhao Feng continued to run regardless of the death that was besieging him.

"Akhc!"

As the Cave was about to collapse completely, Zhao Feng forcefully jumped out of the Cave, which saved his life from the clutches of death.

The cave that before stood so firmly, now only looked like an ancient ruin, and with that, the Eternal Crystal Cave had been declared to have been completely destroyed.

Zhao Feng looked at the ruins before him with mixed feelings, not knowing he had to cry or laugh, because the Cave was what gave him misery, namu on the other side of the cave also gave him a power. But for sure, the memories during his time in the Cave will never be able to fade from his memory.

With the determination to become the strongest, Zhao Feng continued his run to be able to break out of the Thousand Star Sect. The sect that gave him so many memories, be it sad or happy. But certainly, good memories that he will always remember, a memory that holds a bond that is tighter than his own family ties.

...----------------...

The disciples of Elder Shin Mo looked so extremely panicked upon noticing such a terrifyingly powerful tremor. Of course they were very confused, because the Thousand Star Sect had been fitted with an Array that could prevent a natural disaster.

Realizing that something was strange, in the end the leader of the disciples decided to check the Eternal Crystal Cave, because he had a hunch that all these events were sourced from there.

With only a strong determination, since the Artifacts given by Elder Shin Mo had been snatched away by Zhao Feng, the gallant young man dared to do something that was strictly forbidden, he said, that is to approach the Eternal Crystal Cave without any Artifacts guarding it.

But on the way, the young man was confused, because he could not feel the Qi pressure he could previously feel. Even the pressure of that Qi could be felt up to the training grounds of Elders Shin Mo's disciples, who were 10 kilometers away. But not for this time, as if the tremors had swept away that extremely deadly pressure.

But it also made the young man a little relieved, considering that he was not carrying a protective Artifact. Now he did not hesitate to get there and see what had happened.

...----------------...

At the residence of the Second Elder, Zhao Yun. Seemed a middle-aged man who was enjoying the surrounding natural scenery that was so very beautiful. But all that pleasure quickly disappeared, when he felt a very very intense vibration. Even the vibration was able to make the foundation of his residence tremble violently, which should not move even after a great earthquake, because the foundation was made of concrete that had been coated by the flow of Qi energy.

Realizing that something was strange, Elder Zhao Yun immediately flew towards the main building of the Thousand Stars Sect with the aim of knowing the origin of the event that was so very thrilling throughout the Sect.

...----------------...

Just then the young man was greatly shocked when he realized that the Immortal Crystal Cave had collapsed. An event that was very surprising to him, which even made him feel shocked to death.

He was terrified of what Elder Shin Mo would do to him, considering that he was the leader of Zhao Fengs entire guard. Surely this incident would make Elder Shin Mo very angry at him.

But he also had no other choice, because if he were to escape, then his entire Meridian would be smashed to pieces as he just stepped his foot out of the Sect without the knowledge of Elder Shin Mo. With mixed feelings, in the end the young man decided to go to Elder Shin Mo's residence in order to report what had happened.

...----------------...

All the Elders of the Thousand Star Sect had gathered in the main building of the Sect to discuss such a shocking incident. There were so many opinions expressed by each Elder, which made the meeting even more time-consuming.

An Elder finally gave his opinion, which made the Great Elder nod his head slowly. Indeed, the opinion of the Elders sounded very reasonable than the opinion of the other Elders.

"You're right, Elder Dong Yao Si. Therefore we must further sharpen our surveillance of the Sect."

The reply from the Great Elder made the Elders fall silent again, they all also seemed to agree with the opinion that Elder Dong Yao Si had just conveyed.

But when the Elders were discussing with each other, the attention of the Great Elder was diverted to Elder Zhao Yun who seemed to be contemplating his own thoughts.

"What's up, Elder Zhao Yun? Is there a thought that weighs on you? If there is, then say it, perhaps we Elders can overcome the burden of your thinking."

Seeing the behavior of his good friend who seemed unusual, in the end the Great Elder asked Elder Zhao Yun a question. It was rare to see Zhao Yun looking so pensive as that, as if he was thinking about something so overwhelmingly weighing down on his own mind.

"No, Grand Elder. I just dissolve in thought of the previous events."

Realizing that the Elders were waiting for his answer, Elder Zhao Yun honestly revealed what was weighing on his mind.

Indeed the previous incident felt very strange, because the entire area of the Thousand Star Sect had been fitted with a protective Array capable of protecting the entire Sect from various forms of natural disasters, including earthquakes. But the previous incident felt very awkward, he felt that the incident was more than just an ordinary disaster, except...

Brakk!

At the time when the Elders were busy discussing with each other, suddenly the door of the room opened very wide and showed a young man who was running in haste.

"Elder! The Immortal Crystal Cave had collapsed, and the fate of Zhao Feng was unknown at this moment!"

The young man thoughtlessly spoke truthfully before all the Elders of the Thousand Star Sect who were gathering, as he was being struck with a great panic.

Hearing the words of the young man, made both of Elder Zhao Yun's eyes glare. Zhao Feng's? The Immortal Crystal Cave? Don't tell me the old man had made Zhao Feng suffer inside that extremely deadly Cave.

"What?! What did you just say?!"

Likewise with Elder Shin Mo, his eyes immediately glared when he saw that his stupid student had revealed all the truths he had always hidden.

By the time the young man had realized his enormous mistake, Elder Zhao Yun had suddenly appeared before him. And with one hand, Elder Zhao Yun had strangled the young man's neck and raised his entire body up.

"Say! What Shin Mo has been doing to my son!"

Hearing the truth that had happened to Zhao Feng made Zhao Yun wrath as hell. With a single snatch from him, it had already made a violent surge of Qi energy.

"Agod! Pardon, Elder! I'll tell you the truth!"

The young man felt extremely scared when he saw how furious Elder Zhao Yun was, compared to Elder Shin Mo, the anger from Elder Zhao Yun was far many times more frightening to him than the anger of Elder Shin Mo.

"Don't listen to him, Brother Yun! He's just a liar!"

Realizing that all of his truths were about to be uncovered by one of his students, Elder Shin Mo attempted to manipulate the thoughts of Zhao Yun, but unfortunately, all of his attempts failed, because Elder Zhao Yun did not want to accept any explanation from him at all.

"Be quiet, Shin Mo! I just want to listen to your savage disciple's explanation!"

Zhao Yun immediately denied the explanation from Elder Shin Mo, because he had felt that there would be bad events that would happen to his son in his training with Shin Mo. And the thing he feared so much has now happened.

Which father did not get angry when he saw his son suffer, of course Zhao Yun had the right to be angry over all the bad things that had befallen his son.

The Elders no one dared to oppose Elder Zhao Yun, considering his cultivation realm was at the 3-Star Saint realm, making him the strongest Elder that existed in the Thousand Star Sect.

Even the cultivation of the current Great Elder was far behind Elder Zhao Yun, that is, it was still in the 8-star Sky Sphere. Of course the difference of the realm is likened to the heavens and the earth, even further from it.

"Ba-good Elder! All this time Zhao Feng was locked up inside the Immortal Crystal Cave without receiving any training from Elder Shin Mo!"

In the end the young man decided to say honestly, because his life was currently in the hands of Elder Zhao Yun. With an extremely difficult breath, the young man tried desperately just to convey the truth to Elder Zhao Yun.

"Shin Mo!"

After hearing the explanation from the young man, angering Elder Zhao Yun grew even more. He threw the young man on the ground very hard, which made him lose all consciousness at once.

Elder Shin Mo who saw the anger of Elder Zhao Yun, immediately prepared for the worst possible. Now he has to face a very big risk, a risk that he must bear, even though he is not ready to bear all that.
