Chapter 656: Ancient Tribe in Endless Land (1/2)

Luo Yu’er only wanted to escape Feng Feiyun but accidentally ran towards the direction of Endless Land, stepping into a primal forest. When she calmed down and realized something was amiss, she has already been several hundred miles in.

‘This is bad, why did I run into this dangerous area? That young master scared me foolish.’

One could clearly hear the roars of beasts in the mountain range even when they were a hundred miles away.

Fear appeared on her peerless face as she recalled the perilous legends about these parts. She wanted to fly and get out since she was still close to the border.

However, a hand pressed down on her shoulder. Feiyun was behind her and said: “Don’t fly, you’ll die right away.”

She couldn’t move at all. Suddenly, a nine-meter-long bird flew out of a black mountain but a gigantic golden ape dozens of miles away threw out a huge boulder.

The bird’s head got crushed and blood splattered everywhere. The golden ape leaped over and dragged the bird’s corpse away.

This scared the crap of Yu’er. She could be the one dead right now if Feiyun didn’t stop her.

“There are beasts everywhere here. Only the top ones will fly in the sky or they’ll become a living target.” Feiyun said.

“Young Master Feng… please spare me…” Yu’er looked pitifully at him. This was actual begging, not a case of coquettishness.

“Be a good girl and stay right behind me or else… Hehehe…” Feiyun smiled deviously before heading deeper into the forest.

Yu’er knew that she couldn’t escape with her current cultivation and would only risk being bullied by disobeying. She frowned and hesitated before deciding to follow him.

According to the Jiang legends, Bronze Cauldron Mountain was where the Witch God slew numerous demons. It was a sacred place but its actual location remained a mystery.

Feiyun took his time reading the stone tablets and bone writings back at the tribe and had a general idea of its location. He followed the path erected by treasure-masters along remote marshes.

Because they couldn’t fly and needed to avoid powerful spirit beasts, their speed was quite slow. They have only traveled ten thousand miles after five days and didn’t see a single living person.

Yu’er eventually stopped being afraid. The young master seemingly changed. Though he still looked quite evil, the guy didn’t touch a single finger of hers or had any intention of sleeping together.

Images of the past surfaced in her mind. She remembered that Feng Feiyun had changed back then too. He helped her and cut off Boss Wu’s arm on top of eliminating the villainous San Ye.

He gave her fifteen gold coins too only to drink a cup of tea. She knew that she wasn’t good at it; the tea was only worth several bronze coins at best. The young master simply wanted to help her. Plus, he didn’t even drink her tea after paying. She still owed him fifteen cups.

‘Why is he evil again now? What happened to him in the last several years?’ She wondered.

Her eyes brimmed with curiosity while following him. She opened her mouth several times and almost had enough courage to ask. Alas, she ended up closing it each time.

“How did your grandpa pass away?” Feiyun cut his way through thistles and thorns along a mountain gorge.

“Grandpa… passed away from illness.” Her eyes turned slightly red.

“Do I look like a child to you? How can Wisdom Master Jing Feng let him die from an illness? Just one random grass can let him live for more than a hundred years without getting sick.” Feiyun turned around, easily knew that she was lying.

Feiyun didn’t like prying but the old man was an old acquaintance so he made casual conversation. However, the girl chose to lie. There must be something else going on.

She looked down at the stream and said: “During my third year at Heaven Worship, one night, the Third Tribe Lord of Heaven Witchcraft broke into our place, wanting to find me but I was training with Master at the temple so he took grandpa instead. Big Brother Chang Datou and Gou Dadan gave chase right away but during the pursuit… that third lord… crushed grandpa to death then escaped… hoo hoo.”
