The mysterious master actually entered the Martial Tower and appeared in front of Feng Feiyun — this was too unexpected.
The burning flame emitted a bright light that illuminated the dark stone chamber, causing Feng Feiyun's face to become a bit red.
Feng Feiyun suddenly stood up and stood straight on the ground. His eyes became serious as he said: "You are quite courageous. Do you believe that as long as I say it, the Martial Tower's Lord will come …"
"Then why don't you give it a try?"
One of the mysterious master's hands was wrapped in flames with a crimson energy coiling around his finger. The Blood Seal Bracelet on Feng Feiyun's wrist suddenly emitted a black light and began to crazily shrink towards his wrist.
The suppression of the bracelet was activated for the first time. It was as if a force of ten thousand pounds was pressing down on his arm, causing the veins and meridians of his entire right arm to shatter. Moreover, it was spreading throughout the rest of his body.
The mysterious master wanted to intimidate Feng Feiyun and give him a show of strength. Naturally, Feng Feiyun wouldn't sit still and wait for his death.
"Swoosh!"
The Infinite Spirit Ring rapidly rotated as six ancient diagrams rushed out and wrapped around his arm. They turned into six layers of ancient armor to stop the power of the bracelet. The two of them fought on one arm, blocking and attacking. This was no different from a world-shaking battle.
"Hmph!"
The mysterious master snorted and reached out with one hand to directly crush the six ancient diagrams. They turned into countless specks of light and flew back to the Infinite Spirit Ring.
The power of the bracelet couldn't stop it anymore. Not only did it suppress Feng Feiyun's arm, but it also covered his entire body as if it wanted to directly kill him.
Feng Feiyun said: "It's just a joke, is there a need to be so serious?"
A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. It was too unwise to become enemies with the mysterious master at this time.
"So it was only a joke!"
The mysterious master uttered word by word. Each of his words caused the air to tremble like bells ringing in Feng Feiyun's chest. Any other cultivator would have died from having their heart ruptured.
Feng Feiyun had to take a deep breath to protect his heart from the sound waves. However, he still felt his blood churning. This ruler's cultivation was truly frightening. Anyone below first-level Heaven's Mandate wouldn't be able to take a single move from him.
The fate of Young Noble Flawless and Beiming Tang was truly too pitiful. They were all killed by the mysterious master. From this, one could see that this person was definitely not a good person. His methods were extremely ruthless.
The power on his wrist was pulled away, and the light on the Blood Seal Profound Bracelet dimmed. It became simple and unadorned, like an ordinary black bracelet.
"Feng Feiyun, you should have met Beiming Tang before. He died because he destroyed my arrangements." The mysterious master spoke with a voice even more frightening than a ghost's.
"I am someone who knows how to adapt to the circumstances. I usually won't touch things that I shouldn't do." Feng Feiyun smiled.
"But you must do what you have to do!" the mysterious master said.
Feng Feiyun understood and asked: "What do you want me to do?"
"Steal something!" The mysterious master answered.
It was finally here!
Xue Wu had already mentioned this to Feng Feiyun. Feng Feiyun initially thought that it was just groundless rumors, but he couldn't avoid the inevitable.
"Steal what?" Feng Feiyun cautiously asked.
"One of the nine defining treasures of the Wanxiang Pagoda, the Cloak of Invisibility." The mysterious master answered.
The Cloak of Invisibility was woven from the silk of the Invisible Silkworm. It allowed the wearer to become invisible, and even their aura would be completely concealed. It was definitely a divine treasure for escaping and ambushing.
As long as he wore the Cloak of Invisibility, he could easily approach a Giant King level powerhouse and even kill one of them.
It was even more mystical than ordinary Spirit Treasures and was coveted by countless people. However, this treasure was hidden inside the Wanxiang Pagoda. Not to mention stealing, even if the Cloak of Invisibility was right in front of someone, they wouldn't necessarily be able to see it.
Moreover, a defining treasure like the Cloak of Invisibility would definitely be guarded by a supreme expert. Stealing it would be as difficult as reaching the heavens.
"Impossible, no one can steal the Cloak of Invisibility, not even cultivators of the Giant Qing level." Feng Feiyun shook his head and said.
"Others can't do it because they can't even enter the main gate of the Wanxiang Pagoda. However, you are different. You are the Divine King's descendant, so you can enter many forbidden grounds at the pagoda. You have more privileges than others."
The mysterious master had already planned this when he sent Feng Feiyun to the Immeasurable Tower. Feng Feiyun's talents were extraordinary, so as long as he performed better than others, he would definitely be accepted as a disciple by the big shots of the pagoda. This would be of great help to his next plan.
In order to steal the Cloak of Invisibility, he had to use Feng Feiyun's current special identity.
"I've already received news that the Cloak of Invisibility is hidden on the 81st floor of the Spirit Treasure Tower. I'll give you three months. If you don't get the Cloak of Invisibility by then, the Blood Seal Bracelet on your wrist will begin to devour the blood in your body. It won't stop until all of your blood is sucked dry."
"I'm sure you don't want to experience this kind of torture that is worse than death."
The mysterious master's voice became hoarse and even more ruthless. He was like an old ghost that was brandishing its claws and fangs towards Feng Feiyun. It wanted to drink his blood and eat his hand. Just hearing his voice would cause others to shudder.
Feng Feiyun stood there and wanted to take action several times, but he forcefully suppressed himself. 'I'll let you be cocky for now, but one day, I'll make you cry to your heart's content.'
"I will send an expert thief to help you, I hope you won't disappoint me too much." The mysterious master laughed in an especially carefree manner.
"Pop!"
The flames floating in the air were extinguished and everything disappeared. The mysterious master then left in a strange manner. He was like a dragon whose tail was nowhere to be seen, making it impossible to see through him.
"Three months isn't long, but it's not short either. What a headache.
Just what is he going to do with the Cloak of Invisibility? "
Feng Feiyun's brows furrowed as he pondered. More than ten possibilities appeared in his mind, but they were all rejected by Yiyi. It would be a big mistake to use ordinary methods to measure this mysterious master.
This person made Feng Feiyun feel a great sense of crisis because Feng Feiyun couldn't see through him.
"Tap, tap!" A series of gentle footsteps came through.
Feng Feiyun's brows relaxed as the stone door was pushed open. Under the dim candlelight, a peerless beauty walked in. Her figure swayed like a willow in the wind. She had changed into a slender white daoist robe. This was the uniform of the Martial Tower's students, and it gave her a sense of elegance and gentleness.
Her face was still covered by a thin veil, and her hair hung down in a bun. It was clear that she had just washed herself. There were still a few droplets of water rolling down her smooth and black hair, more beautiful than any other woman's hair in the world.
Feng Feiyun could only barely resist her charm by channeling his phoenix soul. If other men were to see her like this, they would have already prostrated themselves at her feet.
"Hongyan, you're still awake?" Feng Feiyun smelled the fragrance on her body. It smelled like the Rainbow Begonia in March.
"I … I'm afraid of the dark!"
Hongyan held the red candle on the bronze table. Under the candlelight, her jade-like face appeared even more alluring. However, this allure of hers carried a kind of holiness, making it impossible for others to have any thoughts of profanity.
Feng Feiyun had never considered himself to be a gentleman, but he truly didn't have any evil thoughts at the moment. He regarded her as a true confidante and didn't want to force her to do anything she didn't want to.
That's right, most girls would be afraid of the dark in an unfamiliar environment and wouldn't dare to be alone. Although Hongyan was born in the mortal world, she didn't understand cultivation and was truly a weak woman.
Feng Feiyun also didn't have the mood to cultivate at this moment. The mysterious master was able to enter and leave the Martial Tower as he pleased, which made him feel uneasy. This person was too frightening, and he could only take it one step at a time.
"I'll accompany you!"
Feng Feiyun walked forward and gently stroked her damp hair. She also gently leaned against Feng Feiyun's chest and fell into Feng Feiyun's embrace. She didn't feel so frightened as if she had someone to rely on, a harbor where she could entrust her body and mind.
Feng Feiyun sent her back and stayed by her side until she fell asleep. Only then did he quietly leave and return to the secret room to cultivate the Dragon King's Saber Art.
He had been in seclusion for seven days in order to comprehend the final essence of the Dragon King's First Slash. He had already comprehended ninety percent of its true essence and only needed one last layer to thoroughly comprehend the first slash. Then, he could cultivate the second slash which was even more powerful.
However, he couldn't comprehend the final essence no matter how hard he tried, as if something was missing.
During these seven days, Hongyan would also come to accompany Feng Feiyun from time to time. Sometimes, she would even make some pastries. While Feng Feiyun ate, she would sit at the side and play the zither. It was full of harmony and laughter, just like a childhood sweetheart who grew up together.
She would also bring fruits and carefully peel them with her fingers before personally feeding them to Feng Feiyun. In her words, "I'm a girl without any, so I can only do this to feel like I'm helping you."
The path of cultivation was really too boring. Sometimes, one would sit for hundreds of years. When he came out of seclusion, the entire era had changed. Most of his old friends from the past had died, and only a few were left. Most of them were also in seclusion.
This was a great test for a cultivator's state of mind. Those who couldn't withstand this kind of test of the vicissitudes of life would eventually be driven crazy by themselves.
On the path of cultivation, it would be such a wonderful thing to have a soulmate like this as they walked towards the peak of the Heavenly Dao together.
"Hongyan, can you really not cultivate?" Feng Feiyun wanted to guide her on the path of cultivation so that she wouldn't age and lose her youth.
Hongyan's slender fingers moved away from the zither and she softly sighed: "Why wouldn't I want to embark on the path of cultivation? Someone once told me that my body doesn't have a trace of spirituality and my dantian is stubborn. I can't even condense a Spirit Realm."
Those who were able to embark on the path of cultivation were all people with a certain amount of aptitude. This so-called aptitude meant that the body had spirituality and could condense even a trace of a Spirit Realm within the body.
However, the majority of people didn't have spirituality. Only a small number of people could condense a Spirit Realm and embark on the path of cultivation.
Although Hongyan was blessed by the heavens and was as beautiful as a fairy, her appearance was envied by the heavens. This resulted in a defect in her body that prevented her from embarking on the path of cultivation.
Beauties age easily, and flowers wilt easily!
No matter how beautiful a mortal girl was at a young age, after ten years, her appearance would slowly age. After a hundred years, she would completely disappear from this world, turning into a pile of dirt.
