Chapter 515 - The Projection Of A Venerable One (1/2)

When the banquet finally ended and Ou Yangming made it clear that he was leaving, neither the imperial family’s representatives nor the local representatives from Canghai City dared to force him to say.

Putting aside everything else, the sheer fact that Hong Feiyu was standing by the young fellow was enough to keep everyone else on the periphery.

Nonetheless, when Ou Yangming just boarded the carriage, Feng Yiyuan hurried over and said from afar, “Master Ou, please stay.”

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and was feeling rather annotated. He had made himself clear earlier but if the great ancestor insisted on pestering him, he could not be blamed for being harsh.

Feng Yiyuan seemed to have noticed how displeased Ou Yangming was, but he did not say a word. He directly presented a jade box to the young fellow and said, “Master Ou, you ended the Humans’ disaster and protected the people in Canghai City. There’s no way I can repay you for that, so please kindly accept this supreme treasure handed down in my family.”

“Senior Feng, you’re being too polite. Since it’s a supreme treasure that has been pa.s.sed down, I dare not accept it.” Ou Yangming was slightly stunned.

“Master Ou, the great sirs specifically told me to give it to you.” Feng Yiyuan bent forward a little.

Ou Yangming was moved, and he looked deeply at the great ancestor. “If you insist.” He shook his wrist and accepted the jade box.

‘The only people that Feng Yiyuan will address as great sirs are probably powerhouses from that place.’

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was confused. ‘Can the Feng family communicate with the people from that place so smoothly? In comparison, the Ni family seems to be worse in this…’

After traveling slowly by carriages, Ou Yangming and his companions returned to their residence. Hong Feiyu was very interested in the jade box received by the young fellow but instead of expressing it out, he immediately returned to his room to rest. On the other hand, Big Yellow wagged its tail and followed Ou Yangming into the room. It carefully looked at the little red bird and noticed that the bird was not going to shoot it away, hence it sat in a corner cheerfully.

Judging from the big yellow dog’s posture, unless it was being driven away, it would certainly stay inside the room.

The little red bird looked scornfully at the dog. Given that it was such an arrogant being, it could not be bothered about such a trivial matter.

Ou Yangming retrieved the jade box and pondered for some time. He had accepted the item because he understood what Feng Yiyuan meant, but he also knew very well that it was not an easy gift.

“What are you doing?” The little red bird hopped on his shoulder several times.

“This box probably contains a warning from a certain force in the upper realm, so I don’t know if I should open it.” Ou Yangming grinned.

The little red bird shrieked, “What warning? Hmph… Let me do it!”

Ou Yangming laughed and stopped it. “Forget it. Since it’s meant for me, I’ll have to settle it, so why should you do it?”

The little bird blinked as though it wanted to defend itself, but it finally chirped and stopped being persistent.

After comforting the little fellow, Ou Yangming reached out and opened the jade box firmly.

A black jade pendant could be found inside the jade box. Its color was incredibly rare, but it gave off a strange feeling when one looked at it; it was as if something on it could attract one’s soul.

Ou Yangming was astonished. He was sure that the jade pendant’s material was nothing like he had ever seen, and he believed that the substance was unique to the upper realm.

‘But why did Feng Yiyuan give me a jade pendant?’

Just as Ou Yangming was bewildered, a black light was released from the pendant. Following that, an extremely powerful force spread, and it was so mighty that even he could not resist it. As such, it grunted and staggered backward.

The force was exceptionally strong. As far as he remembered, apart from the dragon and the phoenix that never really appeared, only the Insects’ Ghost-clawed Venerable One could match it.

He instantly understood that it was the power of a supreme powerhouse.

A vague figure floated above the jade pendant and slowly opened his eyes. The universe seemed to have lost all colors at that instant, and the pair of eyes became the ruler of this s.p.a.ce.

“You’re Ou Yangming?” A faint and cold voice was eventually heard.

Ou Yangming inhaled deeply and forced himself to calm down.

He gritted his teeth and straightened his body under the fearsome pressure. Big Yellow simply curled up its body, and it only peeked at the figure above the pendant through its round eyes.

It did not want to try to be brave to resist the force.

“I’m Ou Yangming. How should I address you, senior?” Ou Yangming was neither haughty nor humble.

The figure looked quietly at Ou Yangming as if he was deep in thoughts, but his silence was the exact reason the atmosphere in the room became tenser.

Big Yellow cried bitterly but after slowly adapting to the potent force, it straightened its body, pressed down its forelegs, and lifted its b.u.t.t to be ready to attack at any time. Needless to say, the big yellow dog was not confident about hurting the figure, but it would be content if it could somewhat obstruct him.

“I’m Zhiming the Venerable One from the Feng family,” the figure answered after some time.

As his voice was heard, the pressure in the air suddenly weakened, and he sounded friendlier too.

“I see, Zhiming the Venerable One, let me greet you.” Ou Yangming bowed to the ground.
