Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared
Chapter 503

Chapter 503: 503

Once upon a time, Qian Feng led her sisters far and wide in search of Qian Ye. Their journey was fraught with hardships, but when they finally arrived, they found the ancient kingdom completely consumed by sand, leaving nothing behind.

"You bastard, damn it! Where on earth have you gone, Qian Ye?" Qian Feng didn’t believe for a second that Qian Ye had simply disappeared. She was convinced that Qian Ye was hiding somewhere, so she led her sisters to another city of that ancient nation and initiated a massacre.

Qian Feng thought she could use the city’s population to force Qian Ye into the open, but even after slaughtering many, there was no trace of Qian Ye.

However, out of fear for their lives, someone pointed out a servant who was once affiliated with Qian Ye. This man was one of the five keepers of the Eternal Life Clan and had betrayed towards Qian Ye, using his resources to assist Qian Ye in reincarnation and evade assassination from the Shennv Xuanhui.

Under Qian Feng’s overpowering intimidation, the servant revealed the events that had happened to Qian Ye. Infuriated, Qian Feng stomped her foot: "What? Qian Ye thinks he can escape us through reincarnation? Dream on!"

Qian Ying came up with a suggestion: "If elder sister has reincarnated, then we should do the same. Even if it takes another five hundred years, we will find her and settle our scores."

But Qian Xue had a different opinion: "After reincarnation, we won’t remember anything, and we will be scattered around. We won’t know where elder sister has reincarnated to. How could we hold her accountable?"

Qian Feng took this under consideration, then transferred her attention back to the keeper. From him, she learned about the existence of the Eternal Life Clan.

"The Eternal Life Clan, sounds intriguing. Let’s pay them a visit and see what we find." Under Qian Feng’s aggressive interrogation, the keeper spilled everything.

Soon, Qian Feng and her sisters came upon the old dwelling place of the Eternal Life Clan. It was barren and desolate, a place of death. All buildings were in ruins, with skeleton remains scattered around, hinting at the calamity that had befallen them.

Unable to contain herself, Qian Ying spoke: "The keeper said that the Eternal Life Clan was wiped out by a demon they had created. The last time we were beyond our borders, we came upon an invincible foe. Could it be the same person?"

Qian Xue also added: "That creature claimed to be immortal and drew power from it, rendering us incapable of harming him. If it weren’t for eldest sister’s formidable supernatural power, we could have exhausted all our efforts in vain trying to kill that monster."

Qian Feng nodded: "I believe so. If I hadn’t seen with my own eyes how impossible it was to kill that beast, I would not have believed true immortality possible."

"If we could also achieve immortality, then we can wait until elder sister reincarnates, and then confront her." Qian Ying was excited about this prospect. The pursuit of eternal life, who wouldn’t be drawn to it? It was the most captivating allure in the world.

Yes, Qian Feng was leading her sisters here to seek eternal life. She also had a hunch about what the place of residence of the Eternal Life Clan would be like. Of course, she had her plans.

"Little sister number six, I’m counting on you." At Qian Feng’s commanding voice, Qian Qing, ranking sixth in Shennv Xuanhui, stepped forward, gestured her incantations, and began to cast a spell.

Soon, under the influence of Qian Qing’s supernatural power, the surroundings were completely transformed into a scene of blooming spring and abundant greenery. The houses were no longer run-down, and people were once again moving around, as if stepping into a different world.

This was the power of Qian Qing. She could cast a spell to recreate the scenery of the past, which was why Qian Feng insisted on coming here, regardless of the extent of the ruin.

Qian Feng had no interest in the daily life of the Eternal Life Clan. She was here for the secret of eternal life. So, following the scenes revealed, they arrived at the largest mansion in the place.

Inside the mansion, a white-haired man wearing a mask was poring over a piece of parchment, which seemed to hold the secret to eternal youth.

Qian Feng squinted hard at the parchment, trying to discern its contents, but the image was clear at times and blurry at others, which frustrated her: "Little sister number six, please stabilize it. Let me take a good look."

"I’m sorry, elder sister, my supernatural power isn’t strong enough to fully recreate the scenes of the past." Qian Qing clenched her teeth, already struggling to maintain the current state.

Despite the difficulty, Qian Feng managed to catch a glimpse of the words on the parchment, and the phrase "Yuxueyun Mountain" was etched firmly in her mind.

No, there was another parchment in the possession of the Eternal Life Clan. The eldest of the clan had hidden the second parchment in a secret place, but he failed to hide it from Qian Feng’s watchful eyes. Out of curiosity, she wanted to see what was on the second parchment of the Eternal Life Clan.

Thanks to Qian Qing’s ability to recreate images from the past, Qian Feng was able to discover this, and also managed to find the second parchment with ease.

If the first parchment pointed to a mountain, then the second pointed to a sea island. Now, Qian Feng was faced with a dilemma as to where the secret to eternal life might be hidden.

After some discussion, Qian Feng, Qian Ying, and Qian Xue decided to take some of their sisters to Yuxueyun Mountain and try their luck. Meanwhile, Qian Qing would lead the remaining sisters in search of that sea island. They agreed on a rendezvous point at the foot of Yuxueyun Mountain.

Once prepared, Qian Feng led her sisters towards Yuxueyun Mountain, where they discovered a floating island above it. After many fierce battles, and the loss of many of the Shennv Xuanhui sisters, Qian Feng finally reached her destination.

Unfortunately, the Eternal Life Clan had taken away everything they could when they left this place and destroyed much of the information related to the secret of eternal life. It was all done to ensure that no one else could attain immortality; it was to be theirs alone.

Even though Qian Feng had not acquired what she sought, she did secure sleep pods, which would let them extend their lives through deep sleep.

Originally, Qian Feng intended to obtain more sleep pods, so more of them could enter the rest when they returned. But then she thought three would suffice. Not all sisters needed to sleep for long periods. Otherwise, if all of Shennv Xuanhui went to sleep, who would uphold the idea of gender equality?

Afterward, at the foot of Yuxueyun Mountain, Qian Feng waited a long time for the return of Qian Qing and the others. But they never arrived, causing a sense of unease among them, and they wondered if something had happened to Qian Qing.

Eventually, Qian Feng lost patience and chose to enter a deep sleep along with Qian Xue and Qian Ying, caring little about what might have happened to Qian Qing.

Just as Qian Feng lay down in the sleep pod, a piece of paper drifted over and stuck to the glass cover of the pod. There was nothing written on the paper, but at a glance, Qian Feng knew something had happened to Qian Qing.

But it was too late. The sleep pod was already functioning, and Qian Feng fell into a deep sleep.
