Chapter 791: 791 Right in Front of My Eyes [Chapter 1]

"Boss, you should rest for a while!" The Right Protector quickly caught up, "Miss Ye left you some medicine, you really should take it first."

Hearing this, Yan Tingfeng stopped in his tracks: "Bring the medicine."

"Yes, sir!" The Right Protector breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "It’s only Miss Ye’s words that Boss listens to."

Truly deserving to be their great leader!

Meanwhile, in the depths of the Nanling Sea.

Kang Mufeng and Zhu Qingxian stood back to back, warily scanning their surroundings.

Both were covered in numerous wounds, and their breathing was heavy and rapid.

All around them were heaps of corpses, not only Atlantians but also many sea creatures.

Most Atlantians cannot leave Atlantis, so even Chongming Country’s Second Princess Chang Li couldn’t come personally but had to send her subordinates.

However, the higher the bloodline of the Atlantians, the more they resonate with marine creatures.

They fought a whale for two days and nights before finally killing it.

"Mufeng, the portal is closed, we must leave immediately." Zhu Qingxian gasped heavily, "Ah Lan has already entered Atlantis, everything now depends on her."

"Hmm." Kang Mufeng’s expression was grave, "Qingxian, did you notice that this time the Atlantian guards are much stronger than those who came ashore a few months ago?"

Zhu Qingxian’s expression slightly tensed.

She naturally noticed.

This means the constraints are gradually weakening.

When the day comes that they are fully lifted, can they... can all of humanity truly cope with all the Atlantians?

"If Ah Lan can unite the Five Great Families, then, given her status..." Kang Mufeng murmured, "Perhaps it really is possible for Atlantis to return to Cangming."

Six hours later, Yan Tingfeng returned to Yunjing.

"Brother Yan?" Xiang Shaoyu was surprised, "You’ve left seclusion? So soon? I was just betting with Yun Yi that you—"

Yan Tingfeng ignored her and hurried to the Rong Family.

"Tower Master, before Miss Ye left, she left you a letter." Rong Qi immediately stood up, handing over an envelope, "She asked me to tell you, that this trip to Atlantis is dangerous, and considering your poor health, it would be wise not to go, and she will return as soon as her task is done."

Yan Tingfeng raised an eyebrow: "What about the second half of the sentence?"

Rong Qi was taken aback: "The second half?"

"Hmm." Yan Tingfeng opened the envelope, "What else did she tell you to convey to me?"

"For the Tower Master to know... that this isn’t all of Miss Ye’s words?" Rong Qi found it incredible.

"I understand her, so she also understands me." Yan Tingfeng took out the snow-white paper from the envelope, leisurely saying, "Continue."

"Miss Ye also said that she knew that the Tower Master would do what he desires, and I couldn’t dissuade you." Rong Qi sighed and continued, "Therefore, she would wait for the Tower Master in Atlantis."

Hearing this, Yan Tingfeng finally relaxed his brows and eyes: "These are all her words."

He unfolded the letter, his gaze swept from top to bottom, and after reading it, he returned the letter to its original place, keeping it close to him.

"But Tower Master, we have no way of knowing how to get to Atlantis." Rong Qi slightly frowned, "Mr. Kang and Miss Zhu have gone to escort Miss Ye and the others, but several days have passed and they have not returned. We don’t know if something has happened, or if, as guardians, they have already left Shenzhou."

"There will always be ways as long as I’m willing." Yan Tingfeng wasn’t too worried, he just calmly said, "Follow me to the back mountain."

"Yes." Rong Qi asked no further, following behind him, "Palace Master Yun Qing is still the same, and grandfather is still seeking a way to turn the Gu people back into humans, but it seems exceedingly difficult."

Yan Tingfeng was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Back then, when she asked me to turn her into a Gu person, I initially refused."

Although Gu people still carry the word "person," they are no longer human.

Ageless and immortal, unyielding and unemotional.

This is what a Gu person is.

Rong Qi was slightly startled: "Then why did the Tower Master agree later?"

"Because she said she wanted to stay and always watch over Shenzhou." Yan Tingfeng raised his hand, gently stroking the place where his heart was, "She wanted to keep her strength to continue guarding this land."

So, he agreed.

Because if he were in the same position, he would do the same.

As they spoke, they reached the back mountain.

Shui Yunqing still sat by the lake, unmoving, watching the clouds roll in the sky, flower petals and leaves had long since fallen on her, accumulated over time.

Rong Qi saw Yan Tingfeng walk to a towering tree, somewhat amazed: "Isn’t the Tower Master here to see Palace Master Yun Qing?"

Yan Tingfeng did not speak, he only slowly squatted down, his hand covering the ground.

"Boom!"

A surging inner strength poured out from his palm, directly shaking the ground open.

The ground sank, no more, no less, exactly seven inches deep.

Yan Tingfeng didn’t restrain his strength, this tremor reverberated throughout the Rong Family.

Rong Yu, who was eating melons in the front hall, fell to the ground with a thud, panicking: "Dad, Mom, it’s bad, an earthquake, run quickly!"

Rong Jingqiu, unable to tolerate it anymore, punched him on the head: "Stop eating, get up and train!"

"I-I-I really have no talent at all." Rong Yu scrabbled up fearfully, "I-I’ll serve you tea."

"Tower Master!" Even the Supreme Elder of the Rong Family flew over, astonished, "This is..."

Since when has there been a box placed under this dead tree?

How could even he have no clue?

Unless the one who placed it is...

Rong Qi already blurted out: "Ancestor Rong Shi?!"

Yan Tingfeng took out the box, gently brushed off the dust with his fingers.

His movements were extremely cautious, as if holding a rare treasure.

After cleaning the box, Yan Tingfeng finally opened the lid.

Inside there was only a slip of paper.

Rong Qi and the Supreme Elder of the Rong Family exchanged glances, both somewhat puzzled, but with a faint sense of excitement.

Rong Shi was the most brilliant Sect Leader in the history of the Great Purity Sect, bar none.

He could see things that many couldn’t, but some matters even he couldn’t speak out directly, so he chose various ways to hint to future generations.

Three hundred years later, the Master of Highest Heaven Tower can awaken, not without the handiwork of Rong Shi.

Even if it’s just a slip of paper, or a single word, it could turn everything around at a crucial moment.

Yan Tingfeng took a deep breath before daring to retrieve the slip of paper.

It surprisingly had eight characters written in bold black on the white paper—

Far on the horizon, close at hand.
