Chapter 71
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Just now, Ling Buyan, who was looking at Li Fenglan, became very unnatural and turned his gaze to the side when he heard this sentence.
Li Fenglan felt that Ling Buyan’s reaction clearly indicated his agreement with what he had just said. But before he could continue, the sword formation’s aura suddenly disappeared and the world became quiet.
Ling Buyan had violated the rules!
As Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor and the owner of the entire Guanzhi Mountain Secret Realm, Ling Buyan naturally could control the secret realm. Now he probably found the problem difficult to explain or didn’t want to explain it, so he simply violated the rules and made the sword formation disappear!
It was the first time Li Fenglan knew that his master was such a person.
However, in an instant, Li Fenglan saw the large group of cultivators from the Tianmian Palace.
At this moment, everyone was holding their swords and looking in the direction where Li Fenglan was located with a look of fear on their faces.
All of this happened too quickly, and Li Fenglan didn’t even have time to say a word. He just glanced at Ling Buyan, and Ling Buyan’s face actually showed a little guilty expression under Li Fenglan’s gaze…
This kind of reaction made him a little more like a human.
“Woo~ Fenglan!” Seeing Li Fenglan suddenly appearing here, Cheng Huang was the first to jump towards him.
Li Fenglan suddenly felt a blackness in front of his eyes, and in a few moments, there was a white, fluffy object in his arms.
In front of Li Fenglan were many cultivators from Tianmian Palace. Although their condition was not very good after leaving the sword formation, they were still fully focused when facing the ancient ferocious beast, Cheng Huang. However, they did not expect that when they were on guard against this legendary ancient beast, Cheng Huang would suddenly make a soft, tender sound and jump into Li Fenglan’s arms.
It didn’t look like a ferocious beast at all.
The next moment, Li Fenglan reached out and gently stroked the fur on Cheng Huang’s back.
Cheng Huang then rubbed against his owner’s arms a few times before making a whimpering sound.
Was this still the ancient ferocious beast from the legend?
Although no one had heard Cheng Huang speak before, they had all witnessed how the enlarged Cheng Huang had forced back the ferocious beasts during the beast tide that day…
So even though Cheng Huang was still so small, in the eyes of the cultivators, it was even more dangerous than the beast tide that day…
However, this dangerous creature had actually rushed into Li Fenglan’s arms directly, the impact on everyone’s heart was beyond words.
Li Fenglan’s vision was blocked by Cheng Huang’s body for a short time, so he didn’t see the extremely complex and dangerous expression in Lin Chaochen’s eyes as he looked at him from not far away.
Although it hadn’t been long since Cheng Huang left its owner, it was still too excited to see Li Fenglan. When Li Fenglan gently put Cheng Huang back on the ground and stood up straight, a familiar figure appeared in front of him… it was Mo Shenyu.
At this moment, Li Fenglan even forgot about the unfinished words between him and Ling Buyan in the sword formation. He turned his head to look at Ling Buyan, and the person standing next to him also nodded slightly.
Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan’s actions were not big, but in Lin Chaochen’s eyes not far away, it was extremely piercing.
Lin Chaochen’s face visibly turned ugly. However, Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan’s attention was all focused on the person who had just arrived.
Mo Shenyu.
He was not in the sword formation earlier.
Li Fenglan saw that the purple clothes Mo Shenyu was wearing were already stained with blood. Even though he wasn’t in the sword formation just now, his condition was worse than that of Lin Chaochen and the others.
In the Guanzhi Mountain Secret Realm, cultivators who were accustomed to perceiving everything with their spiritual senses could not cover everything under the shroud of their spiritual senses as they did outside. Therefore, it was not until Mo Shenyu appeared here that they discovered that someone had suddenly appeared in this open space that used to be the sword formation.
Mo Shenyu himself was only a peripheral figure of Tianmian Palace, but after discovering the Guanzhi Mountain Secret Realm this time, everyone knew him.
Seeing Mo Shenyu appear here, a cultivator couldn’t help but call out his name, “Mo Shenyu? How did you get here?”
— In their impression, Mo Shenyu had already lost his way with the others. The Guanzhi Mountain Secret Realm was full of dangers, and once they took a wrong step, they would see a completely different scenery.
They couldn’t figure out how Mo Shenyu managed to come back here after getting lost with everyone else.
The cultivator’s voice was not small, but Mo Shenyu seemed to have not heard what he said.
Usually indifferent to matters related to cultivation and always playing around, Mo Shenyu looked especially serious at the moment with his lips tightly pursed.
Mo Shenyu didn’t say anything, he just slowly walked to Li Fenglan’s side.
Seeing this, even Cheng Huang who had just been placed beside Li Fenglan retreated two steps backward due to nervousness, and then rubbed against Li Fenglan’s leg.
“It’s okay.” Li Fenglan gently touched Cheng Huang and whispered.
Mo Shenyu’s reaction was obviously abnormal, but Lin Chaochen, who was now regarded as the leader of the righteous path, was completely unconcerned with Mo Shenyu. His attention was entirely focused on Li Fenglan.
Even though Lin Chaochen had always known that Li Fenglan looked like his senior brother, seeing him interact with Cheng Huang now, Li Fenglan’s appearance suddenly overlapped uncontrollably with the memory of his senior brother, Li Fuyue.
“Senior brother…” Lin Chaochen softly called out these two words from afar towards Li Fenglan.
His voice was not loud, and in Guanzhi Mountain Secret Realm where the senses of the cultivators were restricted, only a few people standing next to Lin Chaochen heard these two words.
Several young cultivators among them obviously didn’t understand the meaning of these two words. But Mu Hantao, the Chi Zhen Immortal who stood next to Lin Chaochen, as well as another more experienced Immortal, immediately changed their expressions.
Mu Hantao didn’t speak, while the other Immortal cleared his throat and whispered in his ear, “Your Excellency, please don’t speak recklessly.”
“Recklessly?” After hearing this word, the gaze that had been stuck on Li Fenglan by Lin Chaochen finally slowly retracted.
Reckless…Yes, his senior brother was already dead, he had long lost his senior brother. If he said that now, wouldn’t it be reckless?
As soon as Lin Chaochen’s reason reached this point, a thought immediately emerged in his mind – Senior brother is not dead yet! He was clearly lying well in the Snowy Meizhou, how could he have died?
For a while, Lin Chaochen’s heart became chaotic.
In Lin Chaochen’s eyes, the figure in the distance sometimes looked like Li Fenglan, and sometimes turned into his senior brother, Li Fuyue…
At this moment, the jade pendant on Lin Chaochen’s chest suddenly emitted a faint light. Due to the cover of his clothes, no one noticed it.
That jade pendant was given to Lin Chaochen by his master, Qiu Wanyou.
Recently, for some reason, Qiu Wanyou suddenly went into seclusion in the forbidden area of the sect, claiming to be guarding the tomb of his disciple. Others naturally dared not say much, but Lin Chaochen was different. He knew that the so-called tomb had long been empty.
Qiu Wanyou’s trip there was by no means as simple as he claimed.
Lately, Lin Chaochen has been falling into a demonic state more and more frequently, and he has had no time to pay attention to what Qiu Wanyou wanted to do. When he still had his sanity, Lin Chaochen put on the jade pendant that Qiu Wanyou gave him before going to the forbidden area to temporarily suppress his inner demons.
At this moment, a crack slowly appeared on the jade pendant…
Lin Chaochen was not in a good state, and the cultivator who had just reminded him had a bad complexion as well.
A thousand years ago, the name Li Fuyue was known to everyone in the cultivation world, and his ultimate demise was achieved only with the combined effort of countless cultivators. Therefore, many people in the cultivation world have seen Li Fuyue’s appearance.
However, a thousand years have passed, and the person who once stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation world has become a vague figure in most people’s minds.
But he was different. He was a cultivator of Tianmian Palace, who entered the sect at the same time as Li Fuyue. He even walked all the way under the shadow of Li Fuyue, who once dominated his peers.
He would never forget Li Fuyue’s appearance.
Previously, when Li Fenglan appeared in front of everyone in Tianmian Palace, he mostly wore a veil. And he heard that Li Fenglan’s face, as a little cultivator, had been destroyed by fierce beasts… This was the first time he had seen Li Fenglan’s appearance, and it was only now that he realized that Li Fenglan was surprisingly similar to Li Fuyue back then.
Over thousands of years, the appearance of Li Fuyue in his memory has gradually become blurred day by day. However, when he saw Li Fenglan, the figure from years ago once again appeared clearly in his mind. Not to mention Lin Chaochen standing next to him, who even called him “Senior Brother.”
After Lin Chaochen was told not to speak nonsense, the cultivator himself whispered, “He’s already dead…gone without a trace, so how could he appear here?” Seeing Li Fenglan, the cultivator became nervous, and this sentence was actually meant to comfort himself, but unknowingly, it also stimulated Lin Chaochen.
The crack in the jade pendant on his neck grew wider.
……
Not far away, as Mo Shenyu walked step by step towards them, Ling Buyan unconsciously stepped forward to defend Li Fenglan. Mo Shenyu’s entire body exuded an eerie aura, but Ling Buyan seemed as if he hadn’t noticed it and smiled at him, saying, “Junior Brother, what brings you here?”
Mo Shenyu remained silent.
Most of the cultivators were wearing light-colored robes, so Mo Shenyu, who was dressed in purple robes with a golden crown on his head, stood out even more. After hearing Ling Buyan’s words, he only raised his eyes to give him a cold look, and then Li Fenglan saw… Mo Shenyu’s eyes slowly turning golden, just like when he saw him in the canyon.
Mo Shenyu stood still, his face expressionless. Although there was no wind in Guanzhi Mountain Secret Realm, his robes and long hair were still fluttering in the air.
At this point, not only Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan noticed Mo Shenyu’s abnormality, but even the nearby cultivators became alert.
Ling Buyan, who was closest to him, just smiled lightly in the end. As if he had already expected it, he said, “He has tampered with this secret realm.”
“Sacrifice” – Li Fenglan thought of this word again.
