Chapter 263: Feng Clan’s Ancestral Ground (2/2)
“But the Trinity County is one of the twelve counties that was invaded and ranks first in terms of danger. It is about to fall into the hands of the Evil Woman.” According to the symbols on his map, the Trinity County was so dangerous that even Heaven’s Mandate cultivators died there. Any young cultivator would just be courting death.
Even though riches were often accompanied by danger, a blind commitment would only lead to an early death.
“Feng Feiyun, your father is here! Give me two million coins now or I’ll report you for robbery!”
Ten sword rays rushed out from the clouds. Bi Ningshuai was riding on one of the swords as the rest inserted themselves before the path like nine pillars to block the way of the bulls.
“Swoosh—” The ten swords turned into a formation with extremely sharp glints.
Wang Meng snorted and wanted to take action, but Feng Feiyun shouted with a smile instead: “Brother Bi, you can’t be shameless to this level? You clearly wanted to give the map to me which is why I accepted it, but now you want to take it back?”
“You out of all people is calling me shameless?” Bi Ningshuai’s expression turned even darker than before: “Feng Feiyun, don’t pretend to be pure. You can trick others but not me! I heard that the fourth lady of the Yin Gou Clan fancies you. With their money, isn’t two million gold coins nothing but losing a piece of hair to you? If you deceive me for such petty amounts of money, wouldn’t that harm our brotherhood?”
“Let’s go!” Feng Feiyun waved his sleeve and a white energy slash came out. The ten swords were blown away and fell to the ground one by one.
Bi Ningshuai quickly rushed forward and shouted: “Feng Feiyun, I have big news. It is about Nangong Hongyan.”
Bi Ningshuai was afraid that Feng Feiyun would ignore him and leave. That would be a huge loss to him.
Feng Feiyun pulled the iron reins back to stop the bull and asked: “Price?”
“Two million.” Bi Ningshuai was inwardly ecstatic and showed no mercy.
“Here you are!” Feng Feiyun threw out a stack of money from his spatial stone towards Bi Ningshuai. 2
This was the money given to him by the Yin Gou Square from last time, totaling more than thirty million gold coins. It had been stored in his spatial stone all this time.
Bi Ningshuai didn’t expect Feng Feiyun to be generous enough to throw out two million so fast. There was no justice in this world! He regretted it quite badly and felt that he named too low of a price. Nevertheless, he didn’t bargain any further.
He answered: “Someone saw her going to the Trinity County. Her voice attracted many birds along the way.”
Feng Feiyun sought confirmation: “Is this true?”
“Absolutely.” Bi Ningshuai carefully put the stack of money away. This was his biggest profit today.
‘Why is she going to Trinity?’ Feng Feiyun pondered with a grimace.
Bi Ningshuai directly jumped on the bull’s back near the tail and smiled: “Everyone in the world knows that the son of the demon and the prettiest woman are best friends. Trinity is full of dangers and corpses right now. Brother Feng, are you willing to let her go all by herself?”
“Go!” Feng Feiyun threw a wind talisman onto the bull. It already had astonishing speed, but it was even faster now, just like the wind.
In the blink of an eye, it crossed over several mountains as it headed for Trinity.
Bi Ningshuai was almost flung away, but luckily, he was holding the bull’s tail with his hands.
Feng Feiyun’s original plan was to go to the Existence County in order to train, but he had changed his mind and decided to go to Trinity instead. It was not only because of Nangong Hongyan since he had other plans as well.
He remembered that the Feng Clan had an ancestral ground located at the edge of Trinity. Perhaps the Feng Clan has relocated there, so he wanted to go there for clues.
This ancestral ground had a cemetery for the Feng predecessors. Some seniors were staying there since it hid many ancient secrets of the clan.
After all, each ancestral ground was quite extraordinary. It was an honor for the descendants to be able to go there to worship their ancestors.
The bulls were able to travel eight thousand miles each day. After half a month, they finally made it to the borders of the Trinity County.
Feng Feiyun didn’t directly enter; instead, he took the long way around. He went inside an old forest with seventy or so mountains. All of them were covered with lush pine trees and surrounded by clouds. It was a very transcendent scene. There were long bells ringing among the mountain range.
This was his first time coming to this place. His father once said that these hills contained the first ancestral ground of the Feng Clan. Their first clan master was buried in this place.
Since he was already here at Trinity, he might as well go and take a look.

2. In historical China, they have both paper notes and coins like we do now.
