Chapter 548 Forest Covered in Snow (1/2)

Feng left Mount Meng albeit very unwillingly. After all, he wanted to build up his reputation in the Dongyi tribes, now that he left the alliance army, he could not achieve his plan anymore.

He was a proud man, coupled with the suppression by Yunyang and the demon saint, he knew he had no opportunity to shine. In addition, going against Yunyang had cause instability in the alliance army. Although Yunyang was being compromised, he was finding an opportunity to eliminate him.

That was the real reason why Feng caused a scene and found an excuse to leave, or else he would be killed by Yunyang, sooner or later.

Once out of Mount Meng, he could only return to Fenghou's. When he left he was filled with ambition, now he returned with zero achievements. This left him very embarrassed.

So, Feng spent many days wandering around the mountains and waters of Dongyi. Throughout this whole period of time, he received messages from various tribes, yet he had mixed feelings on what effect his departure had left to the alliance army, but no one was talking about this.

Feng self-consoled that maybe these tribes had limited access to their news, but one thing repeatedly echoed in his ears, showing that these tribes were still quite well informed.

That news was that the State Preceptor of Xia Kingdom had arrived at Wuzhong's, a tribe formed by sinners of various tribes, which caused discussions among all the tribes.

Shen Lian never did anything significant. It was his identity that had gained much attention, causing discomfort in Feng, who also had a fair dispute with Shen Lian.

Feng was the number one archer in Dongyi region and was considered the best since ancient times. Therefore, many disciples gathered at his school, but his most appreciated disciple was Ling.

In return, Ling never failed his expectations and became a rather well-known assassin in Dongyi. However, Ling was killed by none other than the State Preceptor of Xia Kingdom, Daoist Qing Xuan himself.

When Feng first heard this news, he was furiously enraged. If it was not for Daoist Qing Xuan being in Diqiu, capital of Xia, he would have gone to avenge his dear disciple long ago.

Now, this Shen Lian did not only draw all the attention of all tribes, he also had a feud with himself, so Feng promptly had a thought. If he pursued and killed the Xia's State Preceptor at this time of standoff, he would gain worldwide fame which would far exceed that of Yunyang.

This thought could no longer be diminished, as it was too good for Feng to reject. However powerful this Shen Lian was, he would never have attained imperishable body. He would have completed the assassination with his incomparable archery skills. Even if he failed, he could escape unharmed with his traveling method as well.

Once Feng had this idea, he had to execute it, but he could not move recklessly. He still needed more information about Shen Lian. Every time he went on an assignment to assassinate a major character, he would make multiple preparations, even prayed and showered, and counted his fortune.

When Feng had this idea, Shen Lian had just retracted his Primordial Spirit from the void, which had completely recovered to the level when it was the most powerful. His heart was like an ocean reflecting the full moon, serene and peaceful, yet when a certain light leaked out; it would illuminate the whole stone room.

This was also why the stone room was bright at all time.

Black tiger was rather confused, ”Master, you have concluded your cultivation earlier than usual today. Did something happen?”

Shen Lian replied, ”As I was going through a fugue of the universe, I was interrupted by an unknown killing vibe, prompting me to leave the state of Taixu.

Black tiger said in fury, ”Which blind sighted man would dare think of killing the master, I will kill him in one bite.”

”If this person's killing vibe is enough to shock me, he must be some character. I don't think you can match up with him. Alright, whoever he is, he would never expect me to have detected him. I have done many things in the Netherworld. Since someone wishes for death, I shall grant his wish.” Shen Lian looked rather calm, but with a presence of a strong man's aura.

Shen Lian rarely showed this sort of fierce aura. Black tiger thought, ”Whoever this unlucky man is, he is in for a good beating.”
