Chapter 161 – A Young Runemaster’s Past (2/2)

The Progenitor felt more surprised. Although Ye Wei was still far from the Drakehead, with each of Ye Wei’s stops, it became apparent to the ancient demon that he was being brought closer and close to the exact spot where a supreme died.

Six hours passed and the sky slowly lit golden pink as the sun was rising over the horizon. The Progenitor was flabbergasted by Ye Wei’s progress, and could actually feel that the energy of the Drakehead was now only ten kilometers away.

‘With such speed and determination this kid will reach the Drakehead in less than two hours.’

‘How can this be possible?’ The demon was deeply shocked, ‘How can this kid sense the energy of the Dragon ridge from so far away?!’

What the Progenitor didn’t know was that the Supreme’s blood deep within the mountains was resonating to the energy through the Dragon’s ridge, guiding and aiding Ye Wei in his quest.

The blood of his ancestors was also in Ye Wei’s veins, although the blood’s power had been diluted through time and generations, it was recognised and respected by the land itself now that it was amplified by the Combat Master’s gift and the original Falling Star Form.

‘The energy fluctuation is getting stronger. I can almost feel the power of this land boiling under my feet!’ Ye Wei had no idea how shocked the demon was, but he was happy that the demon kept himself quite as he didn’t need any distraction now he needed to execute precise detective work.

“If my theory is right, judging by the energy I sense, the Drakehead is not very far away from here!” exclaimed, energized, Ye Wei looked excitedly at the rising sun.

“I shall carry on!”

It was becoming easier and easier to follow the energy as Ye Wei got closer and closer to the source of the land’s energy.

Meanwhile, ten kilometers away, Lu Feng slowly opened his eyes, he sat on the side of a hundred meter wide pond, in the lotus position.

“With this speed, I shall breakthrough to become a five-star condensed prime Warrior! Lu Feng smiled, satisfied, stood up and looked at the sky as it was quickly lit bright.

“This place is mine, I don’t care if I am one of the Lu’s…” He mumbled to himself furiously.

“Mom, just wait a little longer, give me three years, when I become more influential and powerful I will make the Lu’s pay for the humiliation they made you endure! I will make them suffer ten, no, a hundred times worse than what they made you go through!” Lu Feng’s gaze turned evil, he stomped the ground, became a flash of light, headed straight to Green Moon City.

Five years ago, when Lu Feng found out that he was a bastard, he felt ashamed and closed himself up.

The very evening he learned the truth regarding his past and his heritage, he ran out into the rain, to the wilderness north of Green Moon City.

He alone wandered into the forests and ended up at a pond close to North Hill Bay, where he cried the whole evening to let out his frustration, the moonlight and heavy drops of rain were his only company.

Lu Feng found comfort in the company of the peaceful nature, ever since then, he habitually came to the forest, to the wilderland of North Hill Bay, whenever he felt down, whenever he was bullied, mocked because of his identity.

He began to meditate and cultivate by the pond the more time he got to spend by the pond, when he noticed that he was cultivating much quickly than his usual speed, that’s when he decided to cultivate at the spot whenever he got the time to.

He was able to come by the pond everyday, to cultivate. Day after day, year after year, Lu Feng had been training by the Drakehead for the entirety of five years.

Lu Feng then did some research, although he had no luck to finding out exactly what was so special about the pond, he was not going to share the special piece of land to anyone else, which is why he used his influence as a runemaster’s apprentice, looked to rake over North Hill Bay.

‘The Ye’s are getting stronger, and the Lu’s have surely stumbled upon some history records and found out something regarding this place…’ Thought Lu Feng, ‘I have to be extra careful and cover my tracks well. Hopefully I will be able to somehow distract them and drive them away from the pond!
