Chapter 242: Discovery (1/2)

“Senior Brother Yun Feng, how did Death Swamp turn to this?” Yun Feng and Yun Hai had accepted Elder Ping’s orders to investigate the three matters. They travelled for days before arriving at Death Swamp. However, when they saw the situation in Death Swamp, Yun Hai was puzzled.

“Not sure. Regardless, we should continue our journey!” Yun Feng squatted down at the shore, and used his hands to scoop up the water to inspect. He was also bewildered by the situation, but he didn’t think much of it.

“Senior Brother, which matter should we start investigating first? Death Swamp is so big, it’s very difficult to locate a single person,” The duo had trained here in the past. This place could be said as a dangerous yet unrewarding location. Therefore, if there weren’t any objectives, they wouldn’t be here. Now, they were shouldering heavy responsibilities. In addition to the generous reward given by the sect, this was simply worth it. But to search for a person in such a big place, how could it be that easy?

“Wait until we arrive at Death Fantasy Ocean, then we will decide. The incident happened so long ago, so they wouldn’t be here,” Yun Feng also had no idea. However, because of his teacher’s order, and for the rewards, he could only handle the matters seriously.

“Senior Brother, that Cheng Yu kid is only in Foundation Establishment Realm. Must the Sect Master dispatch us to handle him? In contrast, it is the expert that killed Yun Tian that makes me somewhat worried. That person should at least be in the Golden Core Realm late stage. Both of us might not necessarily win against him,” Yun Feng thought of having to confront a Golden Core late stage expert, and his heart felt quite worried.

“Hard to say. Since Yun Tian self-detonated his Golden Core, it meant that he intended to die with the other party. Then, he most likely should have been injured by the explosion. Perhaps, he might be hiding nearby to recuperate. With both of our strengths, handling an injured Golden Core late stage expert shouldn’t be a problem,” Yun Feng analyzed.

“What Senior Brother said seems reasonable. Yun Tian’s luck was quite pitiful. He could have provoked anyone, but chose to provoke a Golden Core late stage expert. Does he truly think that just because he’s Elder Cheng’s direct disciple that no one would dare to kill him? Hmph! Isn’t he dead without any dregs left now?” Yun Hai and Yun Feng were under the tutelage of Elder Ping. Therefore, they didn’t have any favorable impression of the disciples under Elder Cheng’s tutelage.

“Don’t talk about this. We should first look for the soul tool. At the very least, when we return to the sect, we will have something to report,” Yun Feng shook his head while saying.

“Eh? Senior Brother, did you notice something amiss in Death Bone Tomb?” In the late night, they had flown for a long time in Death Bone Tomb, but they had yet to meet one white bone soldier. This was truly too weird.

“How come there aren’t any white bones soldiers?” At this moment, Yun Feng had also noticed this problem. Those who came to Death Bone Tomb before would know that the night was the time when the white bone armies rose. But both of them had flown for so long yet they had seen none.

“Senior Brother, do you think this is related to Death Swamp’s transformation?” Yun Hai voiced out.

“It’s possible. Seems like this unknown transformation happened to this Death Forest. Even a soul tool was born. Seems like the period we need to stay in Death Forest might be prolonged. Perhaps, there might be a greater treasure that will be born,” Yun Feng associated all the unusual conditions before speaking.

“Really? Senior Brother, then wouldn’t we become rich?” Yun Hai replied happily.

“Everything is just conjectures. Don’t be too happy too early. We ought to continue our journey.”

“Tian Xing, why isn’t he waking up yet? Could something have happened to him?!” It had been three days, but Cheng Yu stilled laid there unmoving. There was no indication of him regaining consciousness. There was nothing but worries inside Tian Xue’s mind.

“Senior Sister, relax. You are just randomly guessing. Look at Senior Brother’s complexion. It obviously recovered by a lot. Furthermore, try sensing it. Senior Brother’s surrounding spiritual Qi are still pouring into his body constantly. This shows that Senior Brother is still self-recovering. I think he ought to wake up soon,” Tian Xing consoled with a smile. However, he knew this wasn’t so. It had already been three days. According to Cheng Yu’s injury, he should have long woken up, but there wasn’t any reaction from him. If it wasn’t because he was still breathing, Tian Xing would have thought he was dead.

“There’s someone?” Tian Xing’s expression got solemn as he whispered to Tian Xue.

“What should we do? We cannot move him cause of his current situation,” TIan Xue said anxiously. Cheng Yu was able to absorb spiritual Qi. This meant that his cultivation technique was circulating within his body. He was currently in the ethereal realm state. They mustn’t interrupt him in any way. However, they were already in the depths of Death Fantasy Ocean. To arrive here meant that the person was definitely not simple. They were extremely nervous and worried.

“Let nature take its course. Hopefully, this person isn’t an enemy,” Tian Xing prayed for Cheng Yu to wake up and also hoped that the person was a friend and not a foe. Otherwise, with just him and Tian Xue’s strength, they wouldn’t be able to handle the people who were able to make it here.

“Brother Xuan Feng, are you sure that we can get pass this flowery ocean here?” The vegetation in the flowery ocean were at least a meter tall. Although they couldn’t see them, their voices already reached Tian Xue and Tian Xing’s ears.

“Brother Qing Xi. Trust me. Our direction is definitely not wrong,” Another Golden Core expert said. Looking at the thirty people behind him, Xuan Feng was filled with confidence. Ever since Xuan Feng and Qing Xi failed to get a hold of the soul tool, they formed an alliance. Furthermore, a few of the other groups had also formed teams with them. This group had two Golden Core experts. Other than the ten great sects, they were definitely an extremely formidable group.
