Chapter 797 Sealed Memories (1/2)

“Let’s head to my place first. We’ll discuss the details there,” Chen Feng comforted Ye Ziming.

“Your place. Come to think of it, earlier, I think I heard someone call you Island Lord Chen. What is that all about?” Ye Ziming grew more puzzled.

“It’s a long story. We’ll talk as we move.”

Even after the two of them had reached East Dragon Island, the look of shock on Ye Ziming’s face remained. Clearly, he was still in shock at what Chen Feng had informed him.

“Unexpectedly, so much would change after just a few years. Brother Chen, not only did you manage to shake off the pursuit of the first-rate sects of the Northern Plains, you even have your own force now,” said Ye Ziming, who regarded his surroundings.

“Back then, I was forced to run away from the Northern Plains. However, there will come a day when I carve my way back. That day is not far off. Right now, though, the most important thing is to improve my strength. Although East Dragon Island is located in the ocean region, I believe that the Xu Family will definitely dispatch some men over to cause trouble. Not to mention, they will certainly come soon.” As he spoke, Chen Feng maintained a look of calmness. However, his words contained a note of severity.

If the Xu Family were to send a few mid-level Earthen Immortals or stronger characters against him, then he would have no choice but to give up on East Dragon Island. Although he was not fearful of the Xu Family, this force and territory that he had painstakingly established would fall.

If only all four of the Yao Immortals from Ascendant Immortal Skylodge could successfully overcome their Heavenly Tribulation and advance to the mid-level Yao Immortal (Earthen) stage, they will be able to fight against the mid-level Earthen Immortals from the Xu Family, Chen Feng thought.

However, Chen Feng and Ye Ziming’s concerns were redundant. Chen Feng went about preparing for a battle, but what happened next surprised him.

The days went by and it did not take long for one whole month to pass. And yet, not a single cultivator from the Xu Family came.

Finally, Chen Feng found out why the Xu Family did not send anyone to trouble him. The one who brought him that piece of information was Jian Xiaotian, who had been feeling cooped up inside Heavenly Sword Faction.

“You mean to say that the Xu Family is in a spot of trouble?”

After coming to East Dragon Island, Jian Xiaotian found Chen Feng and they had a chat. Not long after their chat began, Jian Xiaotian then took the initiative to inform Chen Feng about the Xu Family.

The matter of Chen Feng raising hell in Void City to save Ye Ziming had spread through the entire Central Plains’ world of cultivation. Upon hearing that, Jian Xiaotian had quickly made his way to East Dragon Island.

“Sun Moon Sect and Ghost King Sect?” Chen Feng felt puzzled. “They are not first-rate sects, are they?”

It had been a while since Chen Feng came to the Central Plains. Thus, he knew quite a bit about the forces and their rankings within the Central Plains. He knew of the two sects. He also knew that they were no match for the Xu Family. Even if they were to combine their forces, they would still be no match for the Xu Family.

“Those two are indeed not first-rate sects. However, they are no weaklings. They possess quite a profound heritage and foundation. They also have some formidable Earthen Immortals amongst their ranks. If we look at their overall strength, they are already very close to becoming a first-rate sect. In the past, these two sects would not have dared to mess with the Xu Family. However, things are different now.” After saying that, Jian Xiaotian looked at Chen Feng, a smile on his face.

“It’s because of me.” Chen Feng smiled as well.

“Yes. Void City was badly damaged and a high number of cultivators from the Xu Family were killed back then. There is no reason for Sun Moon Sect and Ghost King Sect to not make a move. If they can succeed, not only can they carve up the Xu Family’s territory amongst themselves, they can also snatch over the wealth that the Xu Family had accumulated through the ages.”

“This is a large-scale war.” Chen Feng sighed. Speaking of which, he was the cause for this incident. There was no telling just how many people would die from this war that he had inadvertently started. Thinking about it caused Chen Feng to feel sorrowful.

“Who do you think will emerge victorious in the end?”

“It will definitely be the Xu Family.” Ye Ziming, who had been sitting in the corner silently, suddenly spoke up. There was a very entangled expression on his face. No matter how you cut it, he had once been a member of the Xu Family. Although the Xu Family had locked him up, some of his branch members were still a part of the Xu Family. How many people would die in this war? For the main branch of the Xu Family, those in the other branches were only cannon fodders for this war.

“Yes. I also think that the Xu Family will emerge victorious in the end. Although Void City itself was badly damaged, the overall strength of the Xu Family was not badly affected. Amongst all the high-level cultivators on their side, only Xu Changkong was badly wounded. Even so, given the Xu Family’s foundation, Xu Changkong should have almost fully recovered by now. Although I do not know much about the strength of Sun Moon Sect and Ghost King Sect, they are not first-rate sects, after all. Thus, the chances of them losing in the end is high.”

“Of course, regardless of who the victor is, the Xu Family will not be able to come trouble East Dragon Island any time soon. This period of time will allow us to be prepared.”

Hearing that the Xu Family was involved in a war, Chen Feng grew relieved.

However, Ye Ziming suddenly said, “Brother Chen, I plan on going there to secretly check things out.”

Chen Feng was taken aback, but he was quick to understand what was on Ye Ziming’s mind. He was feeling concerned about his branch members.

Chen Feng considered it for a moment before saying, “Fine. However, I will not feel at ease if I let you go alone. You should bring some ocean yao guards with you. If you find your branch members, you can just bring them over to East Dragon Island.”

In the end, due to Chen Feng’s request, Ye Ziming decided to bring several ocean yao guards with him as he left.
