Chapter 320: Chapter 320 Sea of Suffering_1

"He? He is a traveler who came from the future, but I believe he certainly has an identity that can stand up to verification, right?"

Guo Huai glanced at Mo Li and then at Yao Yin, sweating profusely as he sought help from the system in his mind.

(What should I do now?)

『Ding~ You may tell Mo Li about your origins, and for matters involving history, it’s best to wait until he returns and asks before explaining.』

(Is that really okay?)

『Ding~ Your doubt is an insult to the great Super Beast Cultivation System!』

(Fine, if he comes back and finds out I said something I shouldn’t, I’ll say you agreed to it.)

『Ding~ I have already asked Him, and there is no problem.』

Having received an answer from the system, Guo Huai thought for a moment and then explained their purpose to Mo Li who, feeling concerned about Feng Yuan’s departure, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Guo Huai’s narrative.

"You just left like that, won’t he suspect you?"

Yimu Qingling asked with some confusion, looking at Feng Yuan riding on Xiao Ji and holding the Dark Ancient Book, Feng Yuan said with a smile,

"Whether he suspects me or not, what does it matter? Although I quite appreciate him, this doesn’t mean I must maintain a good relationship with him."

"Besides, for him, Great Yan was never his enemy."

"Why? Isn’t he the Eldest Prince of Great Li?"

"To him, the King of Great Li who killed his mother and the Eldest Prince who almost killed Mo Ling are his enemies, as for the common people of Great Li..."

Feng Yuan sighed without saying more, and Yimu Qingling, who had had many dealings with the court of Great Yan due to Luo, understood what Feng Yuan left unsaid and in silence, one man and two beasts swept across the skies of Great Yan.

"Finally back."

A middle-aged man upon seeing Yimu Qingling in the sky softly said and then, seeing Feng Yuan jump down from Xiao Ji, narrowed his eyes and after a while spoke,

"Could it be the descendant of the Wolf God Envoy?"

Feng Yuan scratched his head and glanced at the middle-aged man; at this moment, he had guessed that the person was Luo—though he still looked like a middle-aged man, Feng Yuan could sense that the Flame of Life within him had been burning for over a century.

"You don’t recognize me? Although we didn’t stay too long with you back then."

Seeing the middle-aged man looking somewhat astonished, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Although I couldn’t let it personally wait for your return, leaving behind a message imprint should make up for much of the regret, shouldn’t it?"

"Could it be..."

"It seems it really did tell you my identity back then."

The middle-aged man looked at Feng Yuan with suspicion and said,

"But you were not this young back then."

During the Yognot incident, Feng Yuan had returned to the past directly without any change, but now, due to special reasons, he had taken on the appearance of a thirteen-year-old, and to the middle-aged man’s eyes, Feng Yuan seemed to have shrunk.

"Due to some special reasons, there has been some change in age, but is Yuanjia Town just ahead?"

Hearing Feng Yuan mention Yuanjia Town, the middle-aged man spoke with a headache,

"It’s just ahead, but we can’t get close to it now. That eerie lake is too formidable; anyone who gets close feels as if demons are whispering in their ear, always uncontrollably drawn to enter that lake."

"The Sea of Suffering... Estir..."

Feng Yuan sighed softly and Xiao Ji rubbed its fluffy head against him. Yimu Qingling looked at Feng Yuan and asked,

"What do you plan to do?"

"We’ll have to seal it for now. After all, the implications are too great; I absolutely can’t eradicate it at this moment."

Knowing the impact of the Sea of Suffering on the sequence of time, Feng Yuan could not clear it out right now. Looking at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan softly said,

"Coming of the Future, you will be in charge of sealing the Sea of Suffering later."

Xiao Ji let out an excited cry; the light dissipated and the white bird turned into a black one, standing beside Feng Yuan. Rubbing the lowered head of Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Let’s go, the sooner we resolve this, the sooner we can return."

"Do not come any closer! Especially you!"

As everyone approached the Sea of Suffering, Estir indeed jumped out. Noticing that Estir’s gaze was on him, the middle-aged man gripped his weapon tightly and stared at Estir without saying a word. Feng Yuan waved his hand and said,

"Estir, step aside. Although I can’t help you eliminate the Sea of Suffering right now, I can help him recover his sanity."

Estir looked at Feng Yuan with suspicion and said,

"Recover his sanity? What do you mean?"

"Yuan Lezhi."

Upon hearing Feng Yuan calmly utter this name, Estir suddenly became agitated, staring at Feng Yuan and saying,

"Can you really?"

"Why not witness it for yourself?"

"You can go over, but he can’t! Murderer!"

Estir glared angrily at the middle-aged man and said, looking at Estir, Feng Yuan helplessly said,

"It’s just a matter of different standpoints. Besides, if no one reports the situation here to Great Yan, do you think the seal could be maintained?"

"There’s no shortage of people seeking their own doom in this world. To prevent others from doing so, you need to instill fear in them, even make them actively help you conceal the secret."

"What exactly is it?"

The middle-aged man looked at Feng Yuan seriously. He was no longer the youth of the past. From Feng Yuan’s words, he could naturally guess that the thing known as the Sea of Suffering must have serious issues; otherwise, the mysterious and powerful Feng Yuan wouldn’t have made such a statement.

"The living’s nemesis, Its early experimental product."

Both Yimu Qingling and the middle-aged man were baffled by Feng Yuan’s explanation. After crossing a small hill and standing on the slope, looking at the dark lake not far below, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"I didn’t expect the Sea of Suffering in its heyday to be like this."

The churning black water of the lake continuously surged onto the shore, eroding every piece of land it touched. Wherever the lake water went, all things gradually dissolved. Feng Yuan took out the Dark Ancient Book, tossed it into the air, and the book opened by itself. A golden rune emerged from nowhere and slowly fell into the lake. As the rune touched water, the already turbulent black lake stirred up even bigger waves where the rune landed, violently splashing in all directions. Seeing the rapid expansion of the lake, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but look at Feng Yuan and say,

"This is..."

"It’s nothing to worry about."

No sooner had Feng Yuan finished speaking than a figure slowly rose from the lake.

"Ah Zhi!"

Estir rushed forward excitedly. Feng Yuan waved his hand, and a dark barrier enveloped Estir. The black water had just gained a little of Estir’s lifeforce when it was interrupted, and the lake became even more tumultuous. Seeing Estir excitedly talking to the figure, Feng Yuan sighed and said to Xiao Ji,

"First restrict the spread of the Sea of Suffering. After they finish their conversation, you can then seal it."

Xiao Ji let out a long cry and nudged Feng Yuan with its head, pushing him back before flying up into the sky. Countless bluish flames fell from the sky with Xiao Ji’s movements, and the Sea of Suffering gradually shrank within the flames of death. After a while, seeing that the Sea of Suffering was restricted to a certain area and could not spread further, Xiao Ji landed beside Feng Yuan, chirping happily. Feng Yuan was stroking Xiao Ji’s feathers and said,

"Let’s wait here for a bit, they might have less and less time to talk after this..."

"Who exactly is that? And how did this thing come to be?"

The middle-aged man saw Feng Yuan appeared to be resting and asked. Glancing at the middle-aged man, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Luo, do you really not know?"

"Luo? It’s been a long time since anyone has mentioned that name..."

Luo said somewhat nostalgically, and after a while, Luo looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"What exactly is going on? I only know that a disaster occurred here, but they didn’t elaborate. Could it be..."

Looking down at the Sea of Suffering, Feng Yuan said calmly,

"This place used to be Yuanjia Town’s territory. Although it’s called Yuanjia Town, it’s the same as the tribe you were once part of, or perhaps, it should be called Yuanjia City."

Glancing at the Sea of Suffering, which still appeared vast even after being contained by Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"If it belonged to any dynasty’s power, it would be fine, but unfortunately..."

"But isn’t Great Yan known for its enlightenment? As long as they are willing to join Great Yan, won’t that..."
