Chapter 359: The Way Back (2/2)
Feiyun could hear his name from these gossipers along the way. Some talked about his story with Nangong Hongyan while others discussed his romance with the demonesses from the Senluo Temple. A few talked about how he had joined the Evil Woman and was about to lead a corpse army to attack the dynasty…
It looks like the demon’s son has become world-renowned. Even the daughters and children from mortal families knew about his name.
The experts who wanted to eliminate him were frightened after the battle at Radiance. They ran out of Trinity and even the southern prefecture altogether. The liveliness at Trinity was gone as the corpse army initiated a full assault.
Feiyun didn’t meet any enemies while returning to the pagoda.
It took him half a month to leave Trinity and another ten thousand miles to enter Brilliant.
“The sacred tablet and altar both flew into that tomb. How strange, there are too many bizarre occurrences at Trinity. It must be due to the ancient ruins in this place.” Feiyun heard about this from another cultivator. He felt that this Heaven’s Emergence Tomb was definitely unique and wasn’t as simple as it appeared on the outside. Perhaps an earth-shattering event will take place there in the future.
Wang Meng was leading the way on a bull. Suddenly, the beast howled and they had to stop.
Feiyun looked up and noticed a battalion of the army blocking their path. There were more than three hundred people with long sabers hanging by their waists.
These soldiers rode the same bulls as Wang Meng and had a glow around their bodies. They had ferocious eyes and were quite orderly. This was definitely an elite group of the army.
They made a path as a muscular youth appeared, riding a yellow bird more than ten meters long.
He had sharp brows and a cold temperament. This youth was around the age of fifteen or sixteen and had an experienced air. His words then came: “Feng Feiyun, you are too slow. I have been waiting here more than five days.”
Feng Feiyun came forward and smiled: “Oh? So it’s you. Are you doing well, General?”
This was the youngest General of the Divine Army, Ling Donglai.
His talents couldn’t be that much inferior to Feng Feiyun since he had almost left his name on the tablet as well.
“Feng Feiyun, give up. Come back with me for your trial.” He was quite imposing. He knew that Feiyun would use this path to return to the pagoda. This was why he has been waiting here to stop Feiyun.
Feiyun shook his head and laughed: “Brother Ling, did you get the Divine King’s permission to catch me?”
Ling Donglai replied: “I only take orders from the great marquis, so it doesn’t matter if you are the Divine King’s successor.”
He looked behind Feiyun and saw a supreme beauty dressed in purple. She was lying on the back of his bull with her dantian sealed so she couldn’t move at all. It was clear that Feiyun has kidnapped her.
Donglai coldly uttered: “Feiyun, you are the king’s successor yet you have no regard for your status. You dare to kidnap a woman in broad daylight? Are you not afraid of besmirching the king’s reputation?!”
Feiyun looked back at Lu Liwei and rubbed her head: “Haha, Brother Ling, aren’t you being too nosy? This is my personal business, do you people from the army want to interfere with my life choices too?”
Donglai didn’t want to argue with Feiyun. Since he has received the order, he must capture Feiyun and bring him back. His black saber left its sheath; a black wave was emanating from its edge.
He has surpassed the Earth Tribulation to become a first-level Heaven’s Mandate in addition to cultivating the Divine Martial Saber Art to the seventh level.
This saber split the bull beneath Feiyun into two and created a hundred meter long crack in the ground.
“Brother Ling’s saber art is pretty good. Unfortunately, it’s a bit slow.” Feiyun landed on a peak five miles away with Liwei in his embrace.
“Feng Feiyun, you won’t be able to escape today. In order to deal with you, I especially borrowed a Golden Lion Lentigo from a friend. It’s fast enough to catch you!” He ordered the bird to give chase.
Wang Meng wanted to stop Donglai, but the other elites surrounded him so he couldn’t escape.
Despite cultivating the most ordinary saber art, Donglai could still exert a destructive power due to his talents.
He had combined the saber art with a beast soul to create an incredible technique, doubling its power in the process.
The Swift Samsara might be fast, but this bird was no slouch. It kept up right behind Feiyun.
The bird continued to soar in the sky with Donglai on its back. Donglai watched Feiyun’s figure continuously take steps. Each step crossed half a mountain. His mind was in awe of Feiyun’s frightening speed that was capable of keeping up with the bird despite carrying a person. Even the monstrous Su Yun wouldn’t be able to do this.
“Pure Eight Array!” Donglai stretched out his hands and two clouds flew out from his sleeves. They turned into a black and white diagram that spanned a hundred meters. The diagram then took the form of a Taiji Yin Yang Fish before becoming a vortex in the sky.
The teachings of the Dao Ancestor were no joke. This formation had the power to seal the world. It looked like a pure boundary was pressing down from the sky.
