Chapter 100 Epilogue Part 6
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>
Tianmian Palace Shao Yuan Mountain, a mountain range covered in dark ink where no grass grows.
At the foot of the mountain, several young people were using their spiritual power to propel a black wooden boat through the void. They all looked serious and a bit nervous.
Their purpose on this trip was to repair the barrier of Shao Yuan Mountain, which needed to be repaired every hundred years. The black wooden boat was carrying the spiritual stones used for repairing the barrier.
There were no living creatures on Shao Yuan Mountain, and the team was quiet as a pin drop.
Li Fenglan, who was originally a teacher at the Poetry and Book Academy, was also among the team.
Seeing him here, the other disciples were a bit surprised. After all, in their impression, Teacher Li was a person who had no interest in important matters of the sect. They didn’t know why he came here to do such a dangerous thing.
But before they could ask, a loud noise echoed in their ears.
Everyone froze in place, and no one saw Li Fenglan under his hood suddenly smile.
“Cheng Huang is waking up,” he coughed lightly and said casually.
“What, what!” Although they knew what was inside Shao Yuan Mountain, hearing the loud noise and knowing it was here were two completely different concepts.
The cultivator walking next to Li Fenglan’s face suddenly turned pale.
“It’s okay,” Li Fenglan smiled lightly and said, “…Cheng Huang is sealed by many cultivators in the cultivation world, it cannot escape.”
Although I really want it to come out.
Upon hearing this, the cultivator gradually calmed down.
The black wooden boat started moving again, and Li Fenglan stood at the foot of Shao Yuan Mountain with everyone else.
At this moment, people finally saw that there was actually a secret passage here.
Although it was called a secret passage, in reality, it was spacious beyond imagination. Ten people walking side by side was not a problem. If you looked closely, you could also see intricate inscriptions on the white jade walls around them. Each stroke contained an incredibly powerful spiritual energy, with a momentum comparable to that of a sect’s spiritual veins. In just an instant, the spiritual energy in the secret passage had filled the spiritual veins of everyone inside.
If it weren’t for the fact that it had Cheng Huang inside, they really wanted to stay in Shao Yuan Mountain and not leave.
Although they had heard of Shao Yuan Mountain before, after entering the secret passage, everyone couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.
“He’s really powerful. Just the spiritual beast alone has so much strength…” Although the speaker didn’t mention a name, the cultivators all knew that he was talking about Li Fuyue, the owner of Cheng Huang.
If it took so much effort just to seal a spiritual beast, it must be even more difficult for its owner.
“He was the most powerful cultivator in our Tianmian Palace before he fell into demonic cultivation. I heard he had already reached the half-step Immortal realm,” one of the cultivators sighed and said, “A thousand years and he had already reached the immortalization realm and his sword could determine the three realms. Until today, no one has been able to surpass him. It’s just a pity…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Li Fenglan, who was walking ahead.
“A pity?” he said softly.
As soon as the two words were heard, the young man quickly shut up. There was nothing to be pitied about Li Fuyue falling into demonic cultivation and perishing.
Fortunately, Li Fenglan interrupted him, otherwise it wouldn’t have been good if he continued speaking and it was overheard by others.
As a result, everyone in the secret passage fell silent.
Before long, the secret passage came to an end. Before everyone was ready to leave the passage and head to the chamber where Cheng Huang was imprisoned, a pair of ice-blue eyes blocked the exit of the passage.
At this moment, the huge blue pupils blinked curiously towards the outside.
It seemed very curious.
“Why…why is Cheng Huang here?!” The leader of the group of cultivators was shocked.
Wasn’t Cheng Huang supposed to be locked in the center of Shao Yuan Mountain?
At the same time, the huge Cheng Huang suddenly took two steps back. At this point, everyone finally understood why it appeared here.
“Help…help!” With a scream, the cultivator closest to it fainted completely. In the second before he fainted, he saw that only one of the chains that bound Cheng Huang was not broken.
The giant beast scanned the crowd in silence and finally fixed its gaze on Li Fenglan.
Strengthening the seal on such a fierce beast was a risky job.
Among the cultivators who came with Li Fenglan was a powerful expert who was good at teamwork. When he saw that Cheng Huang had broken free from one of the chains, he quickly turned around and ordered everyone to leave this place quickly.
He also retreated, planning to contact the Sect Master as soon as possible.
In just a few breaths, the secret passage that was once crowded with people was now only left with Li Fenglan and a black wooden boat.
He didn’t leave but stood still and gently called out, “…Cheng Huang?”
Although Li Fenglan has been reborn, ancient fierce beasts like Cheng Huang are able to remember the aura of humans and immortals.
Li Fenglan thought, Cheng Huang should still remember me?
He only asked tentatively, but unexpectedly, after hearing Li Fenglan’s voice, Cheng Huang on the other side of the crack became teary-eyed.
“Wuwuwu~” It tried to approach Li Fenglan, but was blocked by the giant stones in front of it.
Seeing Cheng Huang’s appearance, Li Fenglan didn’t hesitate and walked straight towards the other side of the crack.
After seeing its owner, Cheng Huang quieted down and slowly closed its eyes. Li Fenglan also reached out and gently touched Cheng Huang’s eyelids.
Cheng Huang was huge, but its fur was very soft. Li Fenglan touched it, and Cheng Huang on the other side couldn’t help but roll over at this moment…
Although Cheng Huang was an ancient fierce beast, its behavior was no different from ordinary creatures in the mortal world.
For example, now.
After seeing Li Fenglan, Cheng Huang became excited and rolled over on his back. Despite being separated by a rock wall, Cheng Huang still wanted Li Fenglan to touch it.
But at this moment, it obviously forgot its own size and the fact that it was on the edge of the Shao Yuan Mountain cave.
Just as Cheng Huang fell over and rolled, Li Fenglan heard a clear “click” in his ear.
What was that…
Li Fenglan didn’t realize what had happened just now and instinctively took a step back.
And at this moment, Li Fenglan saw – a huge crack appeared on the stone wall located at the core of Shao Yuan Mountain in front of him! And it continued to widen.
At this time, the barrier of Shao Yuan Mountain and the internal magic array were at their weakest.
Although Cheng Huang was currently unable to break the seal, the iron chain that bound it became extremely vulnerable without the support of spiritual power.
Cheng Huang did not intend to deliberately break the iron chain, as an ancient fierce beast, it knew that it couldn’t get out at the moment. If it tried to force its way out, it would only end up getting hurt.
However, after seeing its master, Cheng Huang forgot about this for a moment.
It turned over on the ground, but in an instant, its weight crushed the iron chain.
“Huh?” Cheng Huang, who was lying on his back on the ground, didn’t even realize what had happened.
It just felt a lightness under its feet, and the thing on its right hind leg was broken off.
The iron chain extended all the way into the stone wall, and at the moment it broke, boulders began to fall down. Cheng Huang was still dazed and didn’t know what was happening. The next moment, a large stone fell and hit Cheng Huang’s face.
Seeing this, Li Fenglan couldn’t help but be surprised, and then shouted, “Cheng Huang! Quickly shrink and come out!”
“Woo, woo, woo!” The chain that bound Cheng Huang had been broken, and although it was still difficult for it to break through the barrier and leave Shao Yuan Mountain, it could at least crawl out from this crack and into the secret passage.
Cheng Huang still didn’t understand Li Fenglan’s intention, but as it always listened to him, it hesitated for a moment and then shrank and jumped out from the crack.
In the next moment, he returned to Li Fenglan’s familiar embrace.
“Let’s hide here first,” Li Fenglan said.
“Wuwu!” Cheng Huang buried its face in Li Fenglan’s shoulder and rubbed against its owner while whimpering. It had not been hugged by its owner for many years.
Just as Li Fenglan turned around with Cheng Huang in his arms, a familiar figure appeared before him. The person was wearing a black long gown with golden runes on it, it was Ling Buyan.
“Master… Master?” Li Fenglan’s mind went blank when he saw Ling Buyan.
When did Ling Buyan arrive? How much of the conversation between himself and Cheng Huang did he hear?
This was bad, Li Fenglan thought. He was worried that Ling Buyan would suspect his identity or throw Cheng Huang back into the cave.
However, reality turned out to be completely different from what Li Fenglan had imagined.
Ling Buyan only glanced briefly at the cave where stones were still falling, then smiled and turned his gaze to Li Fenglan.
“It seems that Cheng Huang is indeed powerful. It destroyed the barrier of Shao Yuan Mountain. Since it listens to you, why don’t you take it out of here?” Ling Buyan said.
“What do you mean?” Li Fenglan was confused.
“Wuwuwu?” Clearly, both Li Fenglan and Cheng Huang were baffled, as they knew very well that Cheng Huang did not destroy the barrier of Shao Yuan Mountain, nor did it have the ability to do so.
Without waiting for Li Fenglan to think, Ling Buyan gently pulled Li Fenglan’s wrist and led him to find a gap in the barrier, and they successfully walked out from there.
Everything went smoothly, which was somewhat abnormal.
At the moment they left Shao Yuan Mountain, Li Fenglan couldn’t help but think to himself, “Why does it feel like Ling Buyan destroyed the barrier of Shao Yuan Mountain?” But why did he do that?
In the near future, Li Fenglan would find out that his suspicion was not wrong.
At the moment, Li Fenglan couldn’t worry about that anymore. With one hand tightly holding onto Cheng Huang, he hesitated for a moment before grabbing Ling Buyan’s large sleeve with his other hand.
At this moment, it seemed like there were only the three of them in Li Fenglan’s world. The collapsing Shao Yuan Mountain was behind them, and Li Fenglan ran towards the unknown future with the wind blowing on his face.
