Chapter 657: Chapter 20 - It’s not easy 【Vote for monthly ticket!】_1

"The old grudge has already been settled years ago, why can’t you people let go..."

Du Wuhen stands amidst a tight encirclement with his long sickle, shrouded in dark shadows, and countless black whirlwinds envelop his body.

"Settled?" Feng Chaoyang replies with a shout, "Only when a blood debt is repaid with blood, can it truly be resolved."

He did not hold back, immediately conjuring up three General Star Beads. Three dazzling orbs of light surrounded him, rotating slowly, like a nebula carrying a cloud of mist.

The disciples of the Heavenly King Sect stood several meters apart, encircling Du Wuhen. Behind each disciple, a faint mist appeared, resembling long ropes that connected to the nebula surrounding Feng Chaoyang.

Being well aware of the formidable power of the Heavenly King Sect’s Star Cloud Great Formation, Du Wuhen did not plan to retaliate fiercely.

He stared straight at Feng Chaoyang, seemingly intending to confront him head-on, but the moment he raised his sickle, his body sharply twisted, directing his attack towards a disciple of the Heavenly King Sect behind him.

He intended to escape!

As his attack met with resistance, the disciples of the Heavenly King Sect immediately rose into the air. Just as his overwhelming force was about to fall onto the disciple, a sudden shift in the light and mist occurred, changing the positions within the formation.

Craack!

The disciple disappeared from his original location and in his place, emerged the figure of Feng Chaoyang.

The three General Star Beads orbiting Feng Chaoyang suddenly accelerated, transforming into a solid ring of light. When Du Wuhen’s blade struck, it resulted in deafening booms.

In an instant, it appeared as if a galaxy was shattering. Although the formed barrier was shaken violently, it was not enough to break through the defense.

Feng Chaoyang turned around and thrust one of the General Star Beads he had on his chest. The bead instantly changed from defense to offense, transforming into a streak of flowing light and hitting Du Wuhen’s sickle handle.

Although Du Wuhen managed to block this attack in time, the bead exploded immediately. A scorching heat engulfed him as it swallowed him whole.

Soon after, a shrill bird cry rang out.

A gust of azure wind came sweeping in, carrying Du Wuhen up towards the sky. This was the true form of the Qingfeng Mystic Bird! Utilizing the explosion’s momentum and the bird’s incredible speed, it swiftly ascended.

"Trap him!"

Seeing him trying to flee, Feng Chaoyang soared into the sky, and about ten disciples of the Heavenly King Sect followed suit, rising from the ground. They were like various beams of light, weaving a massive net in the blink of an eye.

Du Wuhen released a burst of violent wind blades with a wave of his hand, but they were all bounced back by this light net, forcing him to stop his ascent.

He descended lower, rushing across the winds at a low altitude, and soon arrived at the mouth of the mountain.

At the mountain entrance, a scholarly looking man was waiting. Hearing the booming sound, he turned around only to see Du Wuhen riding the divine bird towards him at a terrifying speed, leaving him no time to avoid it.

Du Wuhen recognized this man at a glance. He was Lei Ren’s strategist under the Lei Family, who had previously received him. Yet now he was here to intercept him, they must have figured out his escape route.

A rage ignited in his heart, the Qingfeng Mystic Bird did not decrease its speed. Du Wuhen pushed down on his right foot, causing the right wing of the mystical bird to press down by three feet.

Fang Zizai had arrived here waiting for Zhuo Yuxiang. But after waiting for quite awhile without any sign of her, and the commotion from the Lei Family getting louder, Fang Zizai started to feel uneasy. He wondered if he should go back first.

But then this scene unfolded before him.

By the time he thought to avoid it, it was already too late. Having no exceptional cultivation himself, how could he defend against a full-force strike from Du Wuhen, filled with killing intent.

Swish——

A flash of cold light and his head was severed by the Mystic Bird. The headless body remained standing there, as if still waiting for someone.

In an instant, Du Wuhen charged out of the mountain, but the disciples of the Heavenly King Sect continued to pursue relentlessly.

The speed of the Qingfeng Mystic Bird was extremely fast, so much so that even turning into a divine light, Feng Chaoyang was still unable to close the distance. In an urgent voice he shouted, "Help me!"

Hearing his command, the disciples of the Heavenly King Sect immediately performed a skill. They pushed forward their right hand, and more than ten mists solidified instantly, pushing Feng Chaoyang forward.

Whoosh——

With a new powerful force, Feng Chaoyang’s body tore through the skies, finally arriving above Du Wuhen.

"Die!" With a push of his hands, the three rapidly rotating General Star Beads came away from his body, turning into rings of light that surrounded Du Wuhen entirely, binding him like shackles.

Sensing the danger, Du Wuhen immediately transformed into a whirlwind, trying to repel the General Star Beads.

But it was already too late.

Feng Chaoyang gritted his teeth and with a shout, commanded, "Explode!"

Boom, boom, boom——

Even though the General Star Beads were precious, if they could be used to eliminate the deep-rooted hatred of the Heavenly King Sect, he would not hesitate.

The three General Star Beads exploded at the same time, lighting up the sky with dazzling light. It seemed as if three suns had risen at the same time, illuminating hundreds of miles around.

Those who were gazing at the night sky in this direction at this moment, were dazzled by the sudden burst of intense light, squalling in pain as they covered their eyes.

By the time the light dissipated, nothing remained at the original location.

Both the Qingfeng Mystic Bird and Du Wuhen had disappeared without a trace.

The remaining disciples of the Heavenly King Sect came forth to join Feng Chaoyang.

Feng Chaoyang spoke with a cold voice, "With the power of the explosion from the three General Star Bead. Even if the Qingfeng Mystic Bird managed to slip away, there would be nothing left of Du Wuhen."

...

"The Lei Family worked so hard to hide it for so many years, only for it to be a fake map."

At this moment, the Immortal Qi Jing, Jiang Yuebai, and Chu Liang had just left the Lei Family residence, their mood subdued. Chu Liang broke the silence and said.

The Shenxu Ruins were drawn on a hide scroll. That hide was full of spirituality, unlike any mortal object. But this map of the Lei Family was made of sheepskin, and though the workmanship was excellent. The Immortal Qi Jing, who was extremely knowledgeable about this item, recognized it as a fake immediately.

Qi Jing also deployed techniques to question Lei Ren for quite a while. After confirming that he truly didn’t know any other clues, he finally gave up and left.

"The lead from Flower Savage Country was also a false one. According to them, the original Immortal Treasure Map was seized by the Lei Family. If this one is fake, then it’s likely that the map that caused an uproar in Wood Branch City years ago was a counterfeit. The location of the last true map is still unknown." Jiang Yuebai also analyzed.

"The three clues from that year, I received from your mother." Immortal Qi Jing said, "Although I don’t know how Shenxu Temple discovered the location of the four maps, they shouldn’t be wrong."

"The one in Wood Branch City..." Jiang Yuebai furrowed her brows slightly, "the clue has been lost."

Immortal Qi Jing spoke to Chu Liang, "You should head back to Shu Mountain first. They must have been searching for you for years, go and reassure them. As for the Shenxu Ruins issue, the two of us, father and daughter, will continue the search."

Chu Liang looked at Jiang Yuebai, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Jiang Yuebai looked back at Chu Liang, her gaze equally soft. They had just reunited after years apart, and the idea of separation was inevitably distressing.

As the two exchanged glances, a neighing sound echoed, "puff, puff", a ball of fire galloped towards them, and into Chu Liang’s embrace.

"Ouch." Chu Liang touched the Raging Dragon Colt’s head, leading it aside. "You saved me the trouble of looking for you. Let’s go, I’ll take you back... Eh?"

The Raging Dragon Colt swayed its head, as if trying to curry favor. Chu Liang noticed a brocade box in the horse’s mouth as it presented it to him like a treasure.

"Where did it come from?" he wondered aloud, taking the brocade box from it. The box looked like it housed valuable items, he couldn’t help but smile, "An unexpected gain."

Upon opening the brocade box, Chu Liang’s eyebrows immediately shot up.

On the other side, Immortal Qi Jing was sighing, "You should go back to Shu Mountain first, let me wander alone."

Jiang Yuebai simply shook her head, "I told you six years ago, this is not just father’s responsibility."

"Sigh," remarked Immortal Qi Jing, "The world is vast, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack among the Four Seas and Nine Continents. You’re wasting your youth following me."

"I believe we’ll find it soon," Jiang Yuebai replied.

"Ha," Immortal Qi Jing let out a bitter laugh, "Easier said than done?"

"Look."

Chu Liang handed over the brocade box from behind.

The lid of the brocade box was opened, revealing the fragment of the map within. It smelled authentic; at first glance, it had to be the real deal.

"I..."

"Well..."

The sentiment Immortal Qi Jing was brewing suddenly became incoherent. The bitter smile on his face froze, and after a few moments of silence, he finally asked, "Where did you get this map?"

I asked you where you got this map...

Chu Liang pointed at the nearby Raging Dragon Colt, "It gave it to me."

Immortal Qi Jing felt a little dizzy. For so many years, he had traveled the Four Seas and Nine Continents, with no luck.

You managed to find three casually.

Does that make me look stupid?

Although it was hard to accept, now that the four Shenxu Ruins he’d been so preoccupied with were suddenly complete, he felt a mix of confusion and excitement.

For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

"So..." Holding the final piece of the map, he looked at Chu Liang, then at Jiang Yuebai, "We’re done?"

Jiang Yuebai nodded: "Yes."

After a long time, Immortal Qi Jing finally exhaled, "We just have one last step to prepare for, which will take some time. Let’s part ways for now, Chu Liang... Thank you."

He looked at Chu Liang and said thank you sincerely.

If it wasn’t for this young man, who knows when those three maps would all have been gathered.

After saying their goodbyes, he left with Jiang Yuebai.

Although Chu Liang didn’t know what his "final preparation" meant, it probably wasn’t a small matter.

As he watched Immortal Qi Jing and Jiang Yuebai leave, Chu Liang could only sigh deeply.

Lovers since ancient times know the pain of parting...

He rode his Raging Dragon Colt, ready to leave Fengya Pass.

The Raging Dragon Colt seemed to feel his mood, its small steps slowly lifting off, and as it flew low over the mountain pass, Chu Liang felt a gaze upon him.

Chen Huang had been waiting here for Zhuo Yuxiang to arrive since the time agreed upon with Lei Family to release their demon beasts. But the wait seemed endless, and she was nowhere to be found.

Chen Gongfeng couldn’t help but feel restless.

Finally, when he heard a sound and thought it was the woman he had been waiting for, he looked up to see a lowly servant riding a Raging Dragon Colt.

His gaze, inevitably tinged with transferred anger, fell upon him.

What kind of status did this person have to dare ride a Spirit Beast?

Chu Liang was not in a good mood at the moment either, and when he saw Chen Huang glaring at him, returned the stare.

One man, who had failed to meet the woman he loved, the other who had just left the woman he loved. At this moment, these two lonely men had a collision of glances.

Annoyed, Chen Huang snorted, "What are you looking at?!"

...

A moment later, a ball of fire shot into the sky. Chu Liang, who was feeling refreshed, rode the Raging Dragon Colt straight to Shu Mountain.

Chen Huang, with a bruised face and collapsed on the ground, was left sobbing in his place.

"Why did you hit me so hard when I just looked?"

"Boo-hoo-hoo..."
