Chapter 251: Divine King’s Order
Feng Feiyun initially wanted to follow Xiao Nuolan and the Good Corpse towards the Grand Southern Prefecture to reclaim his Azure Bronze Spirit Vessel. However, there was an unexpected detour. It seemed that this dark-faced young man, Bi Ningshuai, had been waiting for him for a long time and wouldn’t let him leave.
“There is not much time left. If we can’t steal the Cloak of Invisibility, both of us will die.” The thief also saw the blood bracelet on Feng Feiyun’s wrist and understood that they both suffered the same fate.
The mysterious master was a devil. All were mere pawns that couldn’t escape from the master’s control.
The bracelet has become a thorn in Feng Feiyun’s heart, but he couldn’t destroy it despite having numerous methods. A Spirit Treasure had enough power to do so, but the backlash would be too strong. Feng Feiyun almost shattered his own wrist with this method, so he could only stop in the end.
He paused to look at the sky and noticed several rays of light streaking to the horizon while carrying supreme power. Characters of the tower lord level were heading for the Wanxiang Pagoda’s central location.
The Grand Southern Prefecture has undergone a great change. The undefeated divine army has fled. They were all slaughtered for three thousand miles, shocking the world, so the tower lords had to urgently convene to discuss countermeasures.
“Dong! Dong!” The bell of the Bell Tower echoed across the mountains for an entire day as if it was mourning the tragic deaths of those that fell on the battlefield!
Every now and then, a ray of light would streak across the sky, creating a fluctuation in the atmosphere. Many tower lords were summoned from their isolated cultivation sessions.
There was a familiar figure crossing the sky with her hair tied up while bearing a noble aura. This was the Spirit Treasure Tower Lord. She was also summoned by the bell to participate in the meeting.
Feng Feiyun’s eyes were burning with fire as he stared into the sky: “The Spirit Treasure Tower Lord has left her tower. This is the best time to steal the cloth.”
He had met this tower lord before. It was someone of the Giant level. As long as she was presiding over the tower, there would be no chance of stealing the Cloak of Invisibility.
“This tower lord has lived for several hundred years, yet she is still so beautiful. Time cannot leave a trace on her body.” Bi Ningshuai stared at the flying figure in the sky.
“If you don’t go now, she’ll return soon.” Feng Feiyun kicked him as a reminder before running for the treasure tower.
This kick hit Bi Ningshuai’s butt right where his unhealed wound was. His mouth contorted from the pain: “Fuck!”
He cursed and rubbed his buttocks before giving chase.
Their cultivations could be praised as kings among the younger generation, so they were quite swift; they managed to reach the treasure tower before the return of its lord.
The green bamboo forest stretched for thousands of miles like an ocean of bamboo trees. Lights were flashing in this place. They were the millennium spirit grasses and spirit flowers planted by the seniors of the Spirit Treasure Pagoda.
There were countless amazing treasures in this region, but they all had masters.
This was Bi Ningshuai’s first time visiting this sacred location, so he was frightened by this scene. This was worthy of being called the holy ground of Treasure Masters. After all, treasures were scattered everywhere.
He was also an expert appraiser and had read through the “Spirit Treasure Rankings” written by Scholar Heaven Calculating several times. A few items from there were right before his eyes; they were tempting him to take them.
“This is a spirit flower on the ‘Spirit Treasures Rankings’! It has grown for more than three thousand years and can prolong the life of a Heaven’s Mandate expert by fifty years.” He glanced at a peak not far from there and noticed a pink flower the size of a person. It also resembled a wisp of flame, so one could see it from a hundred miles away.
Next to the red flower sat an old man with gray hair and a gray beard. He was immovable with an ancient sword hanging on his back. There was a Heaven’s Mandate cultivator who wanted to steal this flower and was cut down by him. The cultivator’s corpse was buried underground to become fertilizer for this flower.
This red flower had a great background. It once grew in a tomb in some ancient ruins. A rank seven Treasure Master dug it out from there and planted it back here in this sacred ground. Ever since then, a top expert had been protecting it.
“Damn! Is that the violet bamboo on the list? I heard that a wise sage tried to obtain rebirth on this bamboo. He was almost successful but was ultimately swallowed by the heavens.” The thief saw a violet bamboo in the water in front of them. His feet suddenly stopped since he couldn’t bear to leave.
This was a bamboo tree where the wise stayed to comprehend the dao. It was 380 meters tall and thicker than a big water bucket. It resembled a purple divine tree as its leaves fluttered up into the clouds.
Bi Ningshuai was quite shaken and wanted to dig it out but was stopped by Feng Feiyun.
“Another powerful expert is learning up there. If you want to die, then go for it!” On the first day of visiting this place with Murong Ta, Feng Feiyun had recognized how amazing this tree was. He wanted to open a cave under it but was stopped by a heavenly saber of the Spirit Treasure level. If he didn’t back off fast enough, he would have died under its edge.
Despite not being a Treasure Master, Bi Ningshuai’s spiritual sense was frightening. It was one hundred times more than an ordinary man — not much weaker than Feng Feiyun’s. He noticed a terrifying aura coming from the top of the bamboo tree and made him not dare to even breathe.
Even though his heart didn’t want to, he still left in the end.
‘After surpassing the earth tribulation to reach first level Heaven’s Mandate, I will definitely come back and steal all the treasures here.’ Both Feng Feiyun and Bi Ningshuai shared this thought. However, both of them were pretending to be indifferent. Along the way, they saw more and more treasures, but they went past them without a care.
