Chapter 681: Time is Running Out
After voicing his request,
Ji Kongnian recounted the events of that year through sound transmission once more.
He observed Shen Feng, who had fallen into silence, and continued to transmit his voice, "Old Ancestor, back then the people from the other halls, upon learning that my forefather intended to confront the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family, did not hesitate to defect to them. Now, all the people from the other halls have also taken root in the Middle Realm."
"Though I was not yet born at the time of that battle, it was said to be extremely brutal. Apart from those of us who were arranged to escape early, everyone else from the First Hall perished at the hands of the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family."
Shen Feng sighed and transmitted his voice, "So, Ji Gaocheng also died at the hands of the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family?"
His expression turned colder by several degrees as he recalled the time he had supported Ji Gaocheng, who had always regarded him as his boss.
He clearly remembered Ji Gaocheng as an extremely stubborn person. If it were something he had set his mind on, even if he knew it would lead to his bones being shattered to pieces, he would not spare any effort.
He also remembered a time before this fellow became the First Hall Master, when the two of them once drank together at an inn.
Ji Gaocheng, who had already been saved twice from death by Shen Feng, raised his cup with a solemn look on his face and said these words, "Big brother, I know my strength is too low now, and I can't really help you with anything. But if someone dares to provoke you one day, even if it's the lord of heaven, I would fight with them to the death."
"In life, one will eventually face death, even if one reaches the Immortal Emperor, there will come a day when life comes to an end!"
"The life-saving grace you've given me, big brother, I could never forget in this lifetime!"
Memories rippled through Shen Feng's mind, and an uncontrollable rage flashed in his eyes. The hatred between him and the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family grew ever deeper.
However, Ji Kongnian transmitted, "Old Ancestor, I did once hear a rumor that our forefather was only imprisoned by the people from the Mysterious Demon Six Halls. But I'm not sure about the authenticity of this rumor!"
For Shen Feng, this was somewhat good news. He said, "I plan to go to the Middle Realm during the Dragon Leap Gate event. What are your plans for what comes next?"
Ji Kongnian guessed that Shen Feng's cultivation might have dissipated, but his expression was still extremely respectful as he replied, "Old Ancestor, I will head back to the Blood Soul Demon Sect first and lie low within the sect for now. When the Dragon Leap Gate event comes, I'll accompany you to the Middle Realm."
"I will destroy the teleportation array here shortly. Later, I'll fabricate a reason, and I believe the people from the Blood Soul Demon Sect won't be suspicious."
"I'll immediately use a special method to send a message back to the Blood Soul Demon Sect, informing them that this place has been taken over by a Peak Condensing Immortal expert. Even though there is also a Peak Condensing Immortal Old Ancestor within the Blood Soul Demon Sect, this way, they will at least be deterred from acting rashly in the short term, since that Old Ancestor is the backbone of the sect. If something were to go wrong, the Blood Soul Demon Sect could not afford that loss."
Shen Feng nodded slightly and then addressed the gathering of slave loose cultivators around him, "Stay here for a few days. After we leave, you're free to go."
"You're dismissed!"
The slave cultivators wanted to say something but stopped themselves. In the end, they headed to their resting areas.
Once all the slave cultivators had dispersed,
Shen Feng glanced at Jia Longxuan and the others. Although he had helped them recover from some of their injuries, their internal wounds were still very serious.
He couldn't help but think of the Immortal Spirit Water inside the crimson storage ring, which was truly a holy water for healing wounds. As long as they soaked in the Immortal Spirit Water for a day, their internal injuries would certainly be fully recovered.
"Go find some wooden tubs for bathing," Shen Feng said to Jia Longxuan and the others who came over.
Although Jia Longxuan and the others were somewhat puzzled, they immediately went to find wooden tubs for bathing, while Ji Kongnian destroyed the teleportation array within the mine and sent a special message back to the Blood Soul Demon Sect.
Shen Feng looked at the Heavenly Flame Stone mine radiating intense heat. The Limitless Emperor Flame and Nine Nether Azure Flame within his Dantian were merely being restrained; he had long felt their eagerness.
He swung his arm.
The Limitless Emperor Flame and Nine Nether Azure Flame flew out from his Dantian and rushed toward the Heavenly Flame Stone mine with urgency.
"Bang! Bang!" Two sounds.
The two Lifebound Flames successfully plunged into the Heavenly Flame Stone mine.
Having absorbed the entire Heavenly Flame Stone mine, the Limitless Emperor Flame and the Nine Nether Azure Flame should increase significantly.
As the Limitless Emperor Flame and the Nine Nether Azure Flame were left to absorb within the Heavenly Flame Stone mine, Shen Feng walked towards what appeared to be the best house within the mining field,
As for the many bodies on the execution ground, he planned to come back and deal with them later.
Jia Longxuan and the others, who were searching for barrels, saw Shen Feng heading towards Wu Renyan's residence; after they found the barrels, they followed him there.
Shen Feng was waiting for them in the hall!
After Jia Longxuan and the others came in with several barrels, Ji Kongnian, who had dealt with his matters, also followed closely behind.
Without wasting words, Shen Feng continuously took out the ghostly blue liquid from the blood-red ring, pouring it into each barrel.
His consciousness remained focused on the pool inside the ring; no matter how much he took out, the pool would immediately replenish with an equal amount of Immortal Spirit Water, effectively making it inexhaustible.
Upon seeing the shallow blue liquid Shen Feng took out, Ji Kongnian couldn't help but sense it, confirming it contained an incredibly pure healing power. His face unconsciously revealed a shock, and the words "Immortal Spirit Water" immediately popped into his mind.
It's known that in the current Lower Realm, Immortal Spirit Water is almost non-existent, and even if it is available, it is extremely scarce and not of very high quality.
The Immortal Spirit Water that Shen Feng took out was of top quality, which would undoubtedly fetch an astronomical price at auction in the Lower Realm.
Although Jia Longxuan and the others had less knowledge than Ji Kongnian, they had been in the Lower Realm for seven hundred years after all. After a while, they finally guessed the origin of this liquid, their expressions becoming uncertain with shock as they held their breath and watched Shen Feng continuously taking out the rare-to-find Immortal Spirit Water.
Jia Longxuan and the others had brought a total of seven barrels, and when five of them were filled with Immortal Spirit Water, Shen Feng said, "Soak in this Immortal Spirit Water for one day, and the injuries in your bodies will definitely fully recover. Not only that, this Immortal Spirit Water will also nourish your bodies."
"No need for any more idle talk, don't be indecisive. I'm not lacking in Immortal Spirit Water, just soak at ease."
Upon hearing this, Jia Shouhong, Gu Hengyuan, Jia Zheyi, Jia Longxuan, and Ding Wangyun naturally didn't dare to ramble on with thanks. They each gave Shen Feng a deep bow and then immediately entered the barrels filled with Immortal Spirit Water.
Shen Feng glanced at Ji Kongnian beside him and, seeing that there were extra barrels, filled another barrel with Immortal Spirit Water and said, "Take this Immortal Spirit Water for yourself!"
"I'm going to cultivate on the execution ground where we were just at. Make sure those cultivators who haven't left this place don't come to the execution ground and disturb me."
Having said that,
Shen Feng immediately left the hall.
Ji Kongnian, looking at the barrel filled with Immortal Spirit Water in front of him, couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. By the time he wanted to express his gratitude, Shen Feng had already disappeared.
To casually take out six barrels worth of Immortal Spirit Water, who could do such a thing in the Lower Realm? It's likely that even Sects of the Middle Realm wouldn't casually waste Immortal Spirit Water like this!
After all, the most effective use of Immortal Spirit Water is in Refining Medicine and other applications; directly soaking one's body, while convenient, is undeniably a waste!
After sealing the barrel of Immortal Spirit Water, Ji Kongnian carefully stored it in his storage ring. Initially, Ji Kongnian intended to return to the Blood Soul Demon Sect right away, but now he decided to stay for a day or two. After all, he had sent a Sound Transmission back, and he believed the Blood Soul Demon Sect, considering various factors, would definitely not dare to attack here directly.
Meanwhile.
Shen Feng, having arrived at the execution ground, took out the storage ring that Yang Yuangen gave him, which contained the bodies of the people from the Holy Heaven Sect. He began to take out the bodies and dump them on the execution ground.
Looking at so many bodies before him, he was sure he could significantly increase his Cultivation this time. Yet sensing the Black Dot in his Dantian, he feared that this peculiar Black Dot would become uncontrollable like last time.
However,
he soon cast these worries aside. Right now, what he wanted most was to continuously increase his Cultivation. As for everything else, to hell with it! First, absorb and then consider the rest!
Seeing that the day of the Dragon Leap Gate was drawing near and that his time to go to the Middle Realm was not far off, causing him to soon confront the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family, time was pressing for him. There was nothing more important than increasing his Cultivation level.
