Chapter 605: Number One On The Upper Lis (1/2)

Wu Qinghua and the four ladies certainly didn’t like Feng Feiyun but they still followed him.

After all, he was right each step of the way, clearly better at reading people than them.

“Why is this devil so sure that the opponent is a monk on top of hiding in a shrine nearby?” The girl called Ninth Sister was very curious. She was quite bold despite being young, daring to call him devil.

“He’s just lucky. If he can’t find the scripture within three days, he’ll be done for.”

The powerful girls shrouded in their own auras flew below the clouds right behind Feiyun.

It didn’t take long before Rhino landed on the ground.

The six thousand miles in these mountains would take a lifetime to cross for a mortal but for a millennium spirit beast? Less than two hours.

A rugged mountain road made by green limestones and decorated by pine thickets appeared before them. These trees have grown for more than five hundred years.

Because the path was too old, there were potholes everywhere. Occasionally, inscriptions from previous travelers showed up.

“Ring! Ring! Ring!” The Buddhist bell at the peak resounded in a melodious and loud manner.

This was the way to Ancient Path Shrine - rumored to be built by a monk using his entire life and consisted of 38,000 steps. The path was more famous than the shrine itself up at the peak.

The girls had a heavy heart after seeing the death of their ancestor. They didn’t say anything along the way since their pride has suffered a strong blow.

Only Wu Qinghua had a strong enough mental fortitude to talk with Feiyun: “This shrine has been around for more than 2,400 years. Its founding monk has deep ties with Beastmaster. For generations now, the disciples here are friendly with us. I feel that this man can’t be from here.”

“My Venerable Buddhist Supreme, I don’t need you to tell me what to do.” Feiyun walked while issuing metallic clanking due to his iron chains. He suddenly crouched down by a cliff next to the path. He saw a faint footprint and pointed towards it with a nefarious smirk: “Half a day ago.”

He was following the aura of the previous ones and made it here. He only found one every dozen miles or so - not an easy task. This was an identical footprint but the aura was no longer the same.

‘What’s going on? Did he got that much stronger after two months?’

His smile disappeared as he became serious, ‘Hmm, the last footprint at the camp was from two months ago when he was leaving. But this one is from half a day ago, could it be that he had comprehended the scripture in just two months and left?’

If that’s the case, maybe Wu Qinghua herself isn’t a match for him.

Feiyun felt that the man must be a genius of the young generation so no matter how strong he might be, he would only be able to fight against a half-step genius at beast. After all, if he were strong enough, he wouldn’t need to fool Yu Lao or be afraid of the four supreme elders protecting the scripture.

But if his talents were good enough to learn the scripture in just two months on top of storing his aura inside the footprint completely now, then his cultivation might be ten times stronger than before.

This was a terrible sign.

“Feng Feiyun, what are you looking at?” One of the girls came forward.

Feiyun knew that her name was Huaji Ningxiang, a fourth-level Heaven’s Mandate cultivator versed in Buddhism.

He stood up and chuckled: “Didn’t you say you want to deal with that man? Here’s a chance to prove yourself. If you can erase this footstep, I will stop thinking of you as a flower vase.”

“Feng Feiyun, stop looking down on people. I refuse to do such a humiliating thing.” Ningxiang spoke; her hair as black as ink with lustrous skin.

“Haha! Any of you can try. I’ll give ten third-ranked Spirit Condensation Pill to the person who can erase this footprint.” Feiyun felt much better after finding the hiding spot of his frightening opponent and wanted to play with these girls since he was tired of their arrogance. It was time for them to know the immensity of the heaven and earth.

Sure enough, he took out ten pills that resembled dazzling cornelians and placed it on a plate.

The girls were tempted. These pills were extremely rare yet Feiyun took out ten of them. Nevertheless, their mind was strong enough to not be swayed by ten pills.

The most important reason was still their curiosity. If Feiyun dared to make this bet, it showed that the footprint was extraordinary. There must be something about it.
