Chapter 319 - 319 63 Fellow Daoist Please Stay【Two in One】_4

Chapter 319: Chapter 63: Fellow Daoist, Please Stay【Two in One】_4 Chapter 319: Chapter 63: Fellow Daoist, Please Stay【Two in One】_4 Feng Yin laughed bitterly, saying, “Tree Brother, could you please scout and see if the area within fifty miles is safe? Have the demon clan left?”

The tree swung its branches jovially, followed by a wave of spiritual telepathy.

Feng Yin furrowed his brows: “Ah… they’ve retreated? They’re a hundred miles out? In which direction… ah, in the south? They typically wouldn’t harm humans? Oh oh, I see, I understand…”

With that, he chuckled to Sky Stealer, “So it turns out the demons retaliated because you threatened them first. The demons here rarely provoke human beings and mostly keep living self-sufficient lives within Mount Siji’s borders. The leader of these demons indeed understands the secrets of survival.”

“I see,” Sky Stealer admitted sheepishly.

So, the trouble was really his fault.

“However, it’s unknown why, lately many upper-ranked demons have left the core region and started emerging around the outskirts. There must be something happening within the demon clan, but it’s none of our business, and there’s no need to interfere in their affairs.”

Feng Yin carrying Feng Ying crawled out of the tree hole, saying, “We shall set off now… umm, are you travelling with me?”

Sky Stealer responded, “Of course, I am travelling with you, sir.”

He could not call him master, and calling him Mister seemed too distant, so he decided calling him sir would be more appropriate.

Feng Yin nodded in recognition, smiling as he spoke, “We mustn’t be careless. The journey ahead might be risky; with my limited powers, if you should protect me, it might just put you in danger… Feel free to refuse if it’s too much for you.”

Sky Stealer replied earnestly, “What are you talking about, sir? Being able to travel with you is my fortune.”

“Ah, if that’s the case, then I’ll accept your goodwill!”

Feng Yin assigned a top-tier bodyguard with just a flick of his wrist. He couldn’t help but feel a bit smug.

Well, being able to talk ones way out of trouble, isn’t that a skill in itself?

So the two men and a cat bid farewell to the ancient tree and went on their way.

The journey was more peaceful than Feng Yin had imagined. Sky Stealer travelled ahead to scout the path, bringing back messages on condition and safety…

The journey turned out surprisingly leisurely indeed.

After travelling straight for fifteen hundred miles without any danger, it seemed they had almost bypassed the central region of Mount Siji.

At this point, both Feng Yin and Sky Stealer breathed a sigh of relief.

“We just need to walk a little bit more, for about half a day at most. Then, we will completely bypass the Four Seasons Peak, and everything will be fine.”

Sky Stealer reassured with comfort.

Being able to protect an immortal gave him a lot of blessings, but there was also a great risk due to the fact that a Demon Emperor class Greater Demon was stationed on Mount Siji that Sky Stealer had personally verified. Now that they were about to leave the danger zone, he could finally relax.

The main peak of Mount Siji is called Four Seasons Peak.

Presumably because from the foot of the mountain to its peak, it transitions through spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The foot of the mountain is a sea of green trees with myriad flowers and fruits while the middle section of the mountain always has tender grass buds sprouting.

The higher section is exclusive to the Demon Emperor, with even more abundant spiritual energy, it is a perennial spring. Yet higher up, the region becomes cold as the bleak autumn wind; the highest region of Four Seasons Peak is covered with snow all year round, and strangers are not allowed to approach.

“The world is still uncertain.”

Feng Yin said with a furrowed brow, “Don’t be off guard, I always feel that this journey has been too smooth.”

“What does sir mean?” Sky Stealer asked.

So, is it not good to have a smooth journey?

Sky Stealer was a bit confused.

“My reincarnation focuses on experiencing the worldly affairs, going against fate through this journey…”

Feng Yin said, “In a sense, it’s similar to your phrase ‘defying the heavens.’ How could the ways of heaven let me have such a smooth journey? Not to mention constant disasters, there should at least be obstacles everywhere. This smoothness is but a precursor to a coming storm.”

Sky Stealer blinked his bewildered eyes. It felt like he understood something, but still didn’t quite understand.

In any case, he felt that it was impressive, quite a grand and profound idea.

But the mystery inside it was not something he could understand right away…

Well, in terms of Feng Yin’s original intention, it was just to show off a bit and deepen his ‘wise man’ image subtly so that Sky Stealer would become more firm in his beliefs.

But what Feng Yin never expected was…

Just after he finished speaking, a dark cloud suddenly rose from the main peak of Four Seasons Peak and came straight towards them.

The dark cloud arrived incredibly fast. In only the blink of an eye, it was directly above the two men and the cat.

From within the clouds, a majestic voice shouted, “Travelers below, please halt. I am the lord of Mount Siji and need to ask you something.”

[Today is the birthday of the Lost Memory Squad Leader and Chirp Snow Squad Leader, wishing them a happy birthday. May you have good fortune on this day every year.

I have something to do this afternoon, so I’m updating early.]
