Many powerful cultivators could see that Feng Feiyun's power wasn't too different from Nalan Hongtao's. As long as they waited for the lunar eclipse half a year later, there was a seventy percent chance that he would defeat Nalan Hongtao and leave his name on the tablet for all eternity.
Feng Feiyun's talents made many people uneasy.
A crimson blade flew out from the depths of the snowy plain. A wave of blood surged towards Feng Feiyun's back.
Someone had taken action in the dark.
This person was afraid of the Divine King's revenge so he didn't show himself.
After all, Feng Feiyun was the Divine King's successor. Not many people would dare to openly attack him.
"Boom!"
The iron sword flew across the sky and knocked the crimson blade away.
Su Xue's figure flashed and landed next to Feng Feiyun. Her sword flew out into the snowy plain, followed by a miserable scream.
The sword flew back into her hand, stained with blood.
There was blood on the corner of Feng Feiyun's mouth, but he still smiled: "I didn't expect you to help me at such a crucial moment."
Su Xue didn't even look at him and coldly stared at the surroundings: "You saved me once and I saved you once, so we're even now."
"Even, even …" Feng Feiyun was secretly recovering, but he didn't forget to smile. He felt that Su Xue wasn't as cold as she seemed on the surface.
Murderous intents lurked everywhere. Many people were ready to make a move. There were at least ten powerful murderous intents, including cultivators from the previous generation.
"Whoosh!"
A white ray pierced through the sky and landed by the lake. His sleeves fluttered in the wind in a heroic manner. Who else could it be but Su Yun? He smiled and asked: "I'm not late, am I?"
"Haha!
Brother Su is back, so my life is saved today. "Feng Feiyun smiled.
Su Yun was fighting against Yan Ziyu, but after receiving Su Xue's message, he quickly came back.
After Su Yun appeared, the young cultivators present immediately retracted their killing intent. They didn't have the ability to kill someone in front of Su Yun.
Jade talismans flew out of the sky screen. The young cultivators had already spread the news.
At the top of Night-Morning Peak.
In the ancient temple, the Buddhist lamp did not extinguish.
Feng Feiyun was sitting cross-legged under a sleeping buddha. His body was wrapped in spirit light. He had already consumed a healing pill and was rapidly recovering.
Other people would need at least half a month to recuperate from such serious injuries. However, Feng Feiyun only needed six hours to fully recover and return to his peak condition.
This was the power of the Immortal Phoenix Physique.
"Brother Feng, you really showed your prowess today. You are truly worthy of being the number one in the Jin Dynasty."
Su Yun walked in. His voice was calm, but there was a hint of a smile in it. Ji Yunyun stood beside him silently.
Su Xue hugged her sword and followed right behind him. She stood at the entrance and didn't come in.
Feng Feiyun's expression became serious: "There is always a higher mountain and a stronger person. No one dares to claim to be number one."
Su Yun nodded approvingly: "I'm relieved that you understand this.
Your recovery is too fast. I can feel that your aura is full and your blood energy is vigorous. Could it be that you recovered thirty percent of your cultivation in just a few hours? "
"I'm at my peak." Feng Feiyun didn't hide it at all.
Even Su Xue, who was standing at the door, was slightly moved. His recovery speed was simply too fast. Her lips twitched as she said something that no one could hear.
Su Yun paused for a bit before continuing: "We have to leave this place as soon as possible. These young cultivators have spread the news, so the older generation will be here soon. Many of them will want your life."
"Where to?" Feng Feiyun asked.
Su Yun replied: "Anywhere is fine, as long as they can't find you. Wait until the lunar eclipse half a year later. You will be able to pass through the tablet and carve your name. With the providence from the tablet, it won't be easy for them to kill you."
Feng Feiyun shook his head: "It's useless. Wait until the lunar eclipse half a year later, there will be even more experts waiting to ambush me. They won't give me a chance to carve my name on the tablet."
Su Yun naturally thought of this as well and said: "Maybe we can ask the Divine King to come out at that time."
Feng Feiyun shook his head: "There will be countless experts waiting for me on the path back to the pagoda. I won't be able to make it back to the pagoda before dying on the way."
Su Yun asked: "What do you plan to do then?"
"Give me two days. I'm confident that I can defeat Nalan Hongtao and leave my name on the tablet." Feng Feiyun confidently declared.
Su Yun stared intensely at Feng Feiyun. Although he was blind, his eyes were still as lively as before. After a while, he said: "Very well!
No one will be able to take one step inside the shrine in the next two days. "
His voice was very firm.
Su Yun knew that Feng Feiyun's cultivation still had room for improvement. He definitely wanted to use these two days to take his cultivation to the next level.
A large group of experts had yet to arrive at the sacred lake, so this was the only chance for Feng Feiyun to leave his name on the tablet.
Inside the shrine, only Feng Feiyun was sitting alone. He took out the last three spirit grasses that could help him open thirty meridians.
At this moment, he had opened 216 meridians!
There were still too few spirit grasses. If Feng Feiyun had an endless supply of them, then he could directly reach the top of grand achievement God Base. Then, his chances of defeating Nalan Hongtao would be even greater.
Daybreak!
The rising sun chased away the darkness, ushering in a new day.
Waves surged by the sacred lake as an earth-shattering event took place. Meanwhile, Radiance was even more lively last night compared to the sacred lake.
The seven demonesses of the Senluo Temple were being auctioned at the Yin Gou Ward. Almost all the heretical experts from the ten halls were present in order to buy them back.
This was all part of the original plan of Scholar Heaven Calculating and Dongfang Yiye!
The scholar's goal was to restrain the heretical experts so that the prodigies from the pagoda wouldn't meet the lords from the Senluo Temple during the tablet challenge.
Dongfang Yiye's goal was naturally to make a fortune.
Selling the demonesses back to the Senluo Temple was already part of their plan.
However, something unexpected happened.
A young man named Nangong Hongbi spent money like dirt last night at the Yin Gou Ward. This auction was originally set up for the heretical experts, but the limelight was stolen by him.
In the end, the seven demonesses were sold at sky-high prices to Nangong Hongbi, causing the experts from the ten halls to vomit blood from anger.
They lost even more face in front of Nangong Hongbi than Feng Feiyun.
The Senluo Temple sent out experts in order to assassinate Nangong Hongbi. This way, they would be able to take back the seven demonesses without wasting a single spirit grass.
However, the experts sent by the temple never returned. In the end, even Nangong Hongbi and the seven demonesses disappeared without a trace as if they had evaporated from this world.
This matter had already caused an uproar in Thousand Radiance Ancient City, and it caused an uproar throughout the city.
In a mansion in Radiance Ancient City.
The plum blossoms were as red as azaleas.
There was an old bamboo pavilion in the depths of the plum forest. The gentle sound of a zither emanated from the pavilion. The music was especially ethereal in the snow.
Nangong Hongyan sat in the pavilion, her figure graceful and graceful. Her face was covered by a layer of white veil, concealing her peerless beauty beneath her beautiful eyes.
Her long black hair fluttered in the wind like flowing water. Her slender fingers moved even faster on the zither.
Suddenly, the zither stopped as she gently lifted her fingers.
Inside the plum forest, Xue Wu landed outside the pavilion with a glazed umbrella in her hand. She smiled and said: "Sister, you're still in the mood to play Snow on Mo Shang?"
Nangong Hongyan gently wiped her fingers with the white veil and smiled: "Are the people from the Senluo Temple still looking for us?"
Xue Wu nodded in response: "Not even in their wildest dreams would they think that we would be in Princess Luofu's Apricot Manor.
The truth is, I don't understand why Big Sister would spend such a high price to buy the seven demonesses. It's not worth it. "
"It's worth it."
Nangong Hongyan said: "The people from the Senluo Temple actually dared to issue a must-kill order against Feng Feiyun. Making them lose face once is already a piece of cake."
Xue Wu had a worried expression and didn't agree with Nangong Hongyan's actions. This would offend the entire Senluo Temple, so it wasn't worth it. However, she didn't dare to say it out loud, so she asked: "Then what should we do with the seven demonesses? They will be a disaster if we keep them alive."
Nangong Hongyan smiled: "They have put on the blood bracelets and are now my slaves. Only death awaits them if they want to disobey me.
Let them go! "
"Very well, I'll let them go right now."
Xue Wu had a bright smile on her face. She understood Nangong Hongyan's intention and paused for a moment before speaking with a serious tone: "There is one thing that Big Sister might not know."
Nangong Hongyan placed her fingers on the strings and casually asked: "What is it?"
"Last night at the sacred lake, Feng Feiyun almost defeated Nalan Hongtao at his peak and became the number one genius of the Jin Dynasty." Xue Wu said.
Nangong Hongyan took a deep breath and couldn't calm down. She smiled and said: "This is the best news I've heard today."
Nangong Hongyan suddenly raised her brows with a serious glint in her eyes: "No, this isn't good news."
Nangong Hongyan was very smart and immediately figured out the danger in this matter.
Xue Wu's expression didn't look good either: "It really isn't good news. Right now, all the cultivators are heading for the sacred lake. Some people speculate that Feng Feiyun is breaking through and will attempt the tablet again in two days.
This is great news for Big Sister, but it is bad news for many people. They will take action within two days to kill Feng Feiyun so that he won't have the chance to leave his name on the tablet. "
"Who dares?
Whoever dares to do so will die! "
Nangong Hongyan shouted. A murderous aura rose from her body, causing Xue Wu to shiver outside of the pavilion.
This was her first time seeing such a cold murderous aura from Nangong Hongyan.
