Azure Heaven Saber
Chapter 214 - 214 163 The Land of the Key【Additional 5 for

Chapter 214: Chapter 163: The Land of the Key【Additional 5 for the Silver Alliance’s Despair】 Chapter 214: Chapter 163: The Land of the Key【Additional 5 for the Silver Alliance’s Despair】 Feng Yin felt a chill seeping into his bones, making him shudder despite not being cold.

That’s right, their vendetta was fueled by their child’s murder. Such a grudge was ineradicable and no reasoning or point of view would ever resonate with grieving parents who had lost their beloved child.

Only destruction, only revenge, pursuing it tirelessly until his last breath!

Attempts at explanation were as effective as preaching to the deaf.

“Damn it all!”

Feng Yin was suffused with a feeling of suffocation, the fiery temper from his past life resurfaced, unable to be contained.

“Supreme Mountain be damned! What the hell, why should I care about Supreme Mountain! If I hide well, hide thoroughly, who is to know that I am Wenrou?”

Feng Yin gritted his teeth: “Even if I am discovered… damn it… I won’t just sit and wait for death! It will be a fight to the death, one kill pays for two lives, twice would be an extra!”

For a moment, rage surged from his heart, wicked thoughts sprouting as murderous intent boiled over.

Then naturally, it would be time to tuck his tail and scamper off.

Bold words are just bold words, righteous indignation is just righteous indignation, but Supreme Mountain… he was genuinely not capable of handling it yet.

Time to run…

Without heading home, he set off towards the south, leaving the city from the south gate, heading straight to the small known town of Jianghu.

When Feng Yin had set out on this trip, he had no planned destination. After all, the purpose of this journey was just to take Feng Ying out for fun, just going wherever; but things took a turn for the worse, all of a sudden he was weighed down by a gigantic scapegoat of a burden…

Now, that was a completely different story.

Leisure pursuits like sightseeing should be put on hold for a while.

Right now, he had to take care of pressing matters first. Even if it was a risk, it couldn’t be helped.

At this thought, Feng Yin felt unbearably troubled.

Most people would find having one enemy unbearable, but what about him?

Two!

Supreme Mountain and Purple Emperor!

Just any one of them was already a pinnacle-level figure or force in this world!

But the most important question was: did I offend Supreme Mountain? Or did I offend the Purple Emperor?

Right, there’s also the unseen enemy, Four Boundless. Seeing as Zhuang Weiran and his wife have already become a part of him, their enemies naturally become his enemies.

But damn it, with Four Boundless, there’s at least some trace to follow. But the other two, they were enemies that inexplicably fell out of the sky without me doing anything at all!

All things considered, who could possibly be more bitter than me?

This book called Azure Heaven Saber, might as well change the name to ‘King of Scapegoats’!

Feng Yin felt so melancholy, he was all knotted up inside.

Speaking frankly, if he hadn’t read so many novels in his previous life, if he wasn’t used to leading a low-profile life, if he didn’t like to adopt pseudonyms to show off… if he hadn’t used an assumed name when registering as Heavenly Judge…

He would likely be in the hands of Supreme Mountain being tormented by now!

“Being cautious really does pay… as Zhuge was cautious all his life… that’s the key to always being undefeated…”

Feng Yin was filled with emotion, it could only be him!

Who else could pull it off?

As soon as they left the city, Feng Ying immediately crawled out of Feng Yin’s pocket and occupied his shoulder. Like a beautiful white sprite, her large eyes observed everything rapidly receding around them.

The sky was so blue.

The wind so pleasant.

The grass so green.

The shoulder, so warm.

Feng Ying’s delicate fur was swept up by the cool breeze giving her a greatly exhilarating feeling, her heart full of happiness.

Totally unaware that its master was now in deep trouble.

Feng Yin quickly made his way to the small town of Jianghu. In his current disguise, naturally, no one could recognize him.

The small Jianghu town was still the same.

Only his own clinic had turned into ruins.

The moss had already grown on the wall of the houses beside the cobblestone road.

From afar, there were intermittent traces of cooking smoke rising slowly.

Feng Yin quietly strolled along the cobblestone road, feeling a subtle sense of nostalgia and transformation when revisiting this familiar place.

Standing before the ruined clinic, he vividly recalled the arrival of the rainbow-clad figures.

He clearly remembered a time when the two brothers, Xu the Third and Xu the Fourth, were still freeloaders at his clinic…

He wondered what had become of those two good-for-nothings. Were they able to escape from the chase of the Great Yan’s Flying Wing? If they had managed to escape by a stroke of luck, where was their refuge, were they safe now?

Given the choice, Feng Yin would’ve preferred for the two brothers to return to stay with him, despite them freeloading.

Actually, it would be better if they didn’t come. He was already in deep trouble and the situation that he was embroiled in was far worse than what they faced with the Great Yan Flying Wing. One wrong move might lead to complete obliteration; best not to implicate them.

The stories of the Kind Heart Clinic had seen too many ups and downs!

Feng Yin passed by slowly, his mind flooded with swirling thoughts.

Strictly speaking, Feng Yin hadn’t been away from the town for long. However, as he walked down the streets of the town, he felt as if he’d experienced an entire cycle of reincarnation, possessing a deep feeling of déjà vu.

Before he realized it, Feng Yin had reached the southern exit of the town, lush green mountains continuing endlessly before him.

Looking back, the entire town was shrouded in evening smoke lit by the setting sun; a ring of misty haze separated the town from Feng Yin.

The world descended into twilight, plunging into the darkness, just like it would any other day.

However, Feng Yin, dressed in white garments brighter than snow, stood out distinctly against the surrounding atmosphere.

The evening breeze gently lifted his sleeves and stirred his hair.

With a slight sigh, Feng Yin disappeared into the wilderness, leaving no trace behind.

…

Feng Yin had entered a chain of mountains.

The cave where the Demon Emperor had once taken refuge to give birth.

Now all that remained was quiet tranquility.

Surrounding the cave, one could spot traces of mice, snakes, and insects. Cobwebs had begun to form in many places.

Feng Yin set down Feng Ying.

The little creature stirred restlessly in the unfamiliar surroundings before resolutely nestling against Feng Yin’s leg.

There was an inherent strangeness she felt about this place. But after touching the bare earth, a faint sense of familiarity began to take root. The little one couldn’t quite understand this feeling, but instinctively snuggled against Feng Yin for safety and comfort.

“This is where you were born,”

Feng Yin whispered, “Your mother gave birth to you right here.”

“Eh huh?”

With her big, perplexed eyes, Feng Ying looked at Feng Yin, Mother?

This was an entirely foreign term to her, but as she tentatively tried to comprehend it, there was a comforting familiarity about it.

“In order to give birth to you in a safe and steady manner, your mother felt her cave was not conducive to raising you. So, she temporarily opened up this cave, creating a space for you to grow healthily and happily,”

“But your mother’s enemies had plans of their own. Despite the cave’s seclusion, they found it. This led to the downfall of your home in a single moment. Your father, for your and your mother’s safety, broke through the enemy lines alone, drawing away the enemy, unaware whether he was dead or alive.”

“Your weakened mother, after giving birth, handed you over to me.”

Feng Yin whispered, “Then she was chased by the enemy, and even now, her life and death remain unknown.”

“So no matter what, you must never blame your parents. They are the people in the world who love you most. They are the best parents you could ever have.”

“Eh huh-ing”…

The little one gave a feeble call, her voice laced with rare sorrow and vulnerability.

The little one had understood quite a lot by now, and under Feng Yin’s training, she had also learned quite a few characters. Thus, she knew what “Mother” meant.

However, she was still too young, and much of what Feng Yin said to her was heard but barely comprehended.

But just by understanding a portion of it, the little one already felt heavy-hearted.

Finally, she began to take one tentative step at a time away from Feng Yin, curiously, albeit confusedly, scrutinizing the cave in front of her.

When she saw the scattered and grimy worn-out clothes, she hesitated before approaching to gently paw them.

As soon as she made contact, it was as if she sensed a comforting aura from within. She couldn’t help but let out a gentle call. “Eh huh… Eh huh…”

Her small body rubbed gently against the tattered fabrics, seeming somewhat reluctant to leave.

Feng Ying squatted down on this pile of shabby fabrics, turned her head to look at Feng Yin, her big eyes full of helplessness, only invoking pity: “Eh huh-ing… Eh huh…”

“Rest assured. In the future, you will definitely find your parents.”

“Even if you can’t find them on your own, I will help you.”

Feng Yin whispered softly, making a significant promise.

“Eh huh..”

Feng Ying leapt into Feng Yin’s arms, nestling her small head against his chest, licking his hand with her small tongue before she comfortably settled back into his embrace. It seemed like her small, flustered heart had finally calmed down.

It seemed that within these arms, there was nothing to fear or worry about.

“Eh huh ah …”

The soft call of Feng Ying echoed, her small paw reached out to lightly touch Feng Yin’s hand, then she quickly climbed into Feng Yin’s pocket, lying there comfortably.

It was only at this moment that she felt her heart was completely at ease.

Yeah, everything was fine now. She was safe, at peace, and grounded.

Although she had only spent a short while in the cave, Feng Ying could still feel the invisible feeling of melancholy that hung heavily and remained undispersed. It was tangible and genuine.

It was a profound emotion … lingering.

Feng Yin quietly exhaled and slowly stepped out of the cave.

The main reason for this visit was to give Feng Ying a vague idea about her birth, her status, and her identity.

After all, this place had been abandoned for a long time, if they had returned after some time, maybe everything in it would have disappeared.

Although there isn’t much left now, yet the feeling that permeated the place…left its traces.

A man and a cat, standing at the mountain peak.

Feng Yin began to recall what Feng Ying’s mother had said to him before about that place.

“I will give you a secret key to my identity. When your cultivation reaches the Innate level, you can go to that place. I have left you a little token.”

Regarding this place, Feng Yin didn’t plan to come here so soon, but now, it couldn’t be helped.

About to undergo the Gold Rank training and unexpectedly facing yet another powerful foe like Supreme Mountain; Feng Yin had to venture here.

Standing on the peak, he faintly felt,

From this point forward, everything will be different.
