Chapter 81: Chapter 081: Enemies on a Narrow Road
“Brother Feng, where are we going now? Has Burn Heaven Valley sent anyone to follow us?” After descending the mountain, Miao Qingqing asked, vigilantly scanning her surroundings.
There being no news of Liu Qingyang from Burn Heaven Valley, the leads have completely vanished; they had no idea where to start looking for Liu Qingyang.
With Lin Yunchong dead, there was no one left who knew the whereabouts of Liu Qingyang nor the state of his life or death.
“We’re heading to Tiandu,” Feng Wuchen said.
“Tiandu?” Miao Qingqing was slightly startled, seemingly guessing Feng Wuchen’s thoughts.
Without any news of Liu Qingyang, Feng Wuchen felt deeply disappointed, but was entirely at a loss.
...
Feng Wuchen was even beginning to regret killing Lin Yunchong, but even if he regretted it, it was of no use; dead, Lin Yunchong wouldn’t reveal Liu Qingyang’s whereabouts.
Burn Heaven Valley wasn’t far from Tiandu; it could be reached within half an hour using Sword Flight.
Sword Flight was also the perfect way to avoid the pursuit of various powerful factions.
Feng Wuchen could easily command General Wu to have his troops search Yunzhou for any minor or major factions’ operatives, ready to identify which factions had sent them at any mont.
It was just that Feng Wuchen didn’t want to do so; if he wanted to take control of the entire Yunzhou, he needed to rely on his own strength, to suppress all the factions in Yunzhou with his own power!
“Master Feng!”
“Master Feng!”
Upon entering Tiandu, any cultivator who recognized Feng Wuchen greeted him respectfully as Master Feng.
If Liu Qingyang were here, he would have been so proud that he would have soared into the sky.
“Master Feng, welco!” At the entrance of the auction house, two guards saluted with respect.
“Are the President and Elder Wei present?” Feng Wuchen asked.
“They are, discussing matters with the Capital Lord. Please, Master Feng!” One guard respectfully ushered Feng Wuchen and Miao Qingqing inside.
The other guard went to notify Xiang Yan and Wei Yun.
As the auction house’s most honored guest, Feng Wuchen was entitled to their utmost respect.
Upon learning of Feng Wuchen’s arrival at the auction house, Xiang Yan, Capital Lord Chu Wuheng, and the others hurried out, not daring to show the slightest neglect.
“Master Feng! Miss Miao.” Chu Wuheng and Xiang Yan greeted them with respectful fist salutes, even treating Miao Qingqing courteously.
“Master Feng has actually broken through to the sixth layer of the Transformative Realm!” Xiang Yan was inwardly shocked, imdiately recognizing Feng Wuchen’s cultivation level.
Since their separation from the Liu family, it had only been two months. To advance from the fourth layer to the sixth layer of the Transformative Realm in such a short period, what a terrifying speed of cultivation!
Chu Wuheng and the others were equally staggered, having never encountered such a fearso talent before.
“This isn’t the place to talk. Please, Master Feng!” Wei Yun quickly said, noticing that Feng Wuchen had matters to discuss.
After arriving at the luxurious palace in the backyard of the auction house, Xiang Yan and the others warmly entertained them.
“Having Master Feng grace our auction house is an honor indeed!” Xiang Yan flattered with a smile.
“I’m here today for a favor, and it so happens that the Capital Lord is also here,” Feng Wuchen said straightforwardly, getting right to the point.
“But speak freely, Master Feng, if there’s anything we can help with, we’ll do our utmost!” exclaid Chu Wuheng generously.
Feng Wuchen nodded gratefully and then recounted the sequence of events.
“The son of Liu Shan?” Xiang Yan frowned, evidently recalling him.
We Yun frowned slightly and said, “I had already suspected that Lin Yunchong would seek revenge on Master Feng. Su Yuanshan must have known, yet he did nothing to stop it. Now with Lin Yunchong dead, Su Yuanshan naturally shifts the bla to Lin Yunchong’s shoulders.”
Chu Wuheng said with grave seriousness, “Lin Yunchong was not a fool; he knew Master Feng’s identity. As a disciple of Burn Heaven Valley, he surely would not implicate the valley, so he would definitely not take Liu Qingyang back to Burn Heaven Valley.”
Feng Wuchen smiled faintly and said, “Indeed, Liu Qingyang is not in Burn Heaven Valley; I cannot sense his presence. As for Su Yuanshan, he has quite the patience. Qingqing and I went to Burn Heaven Valley, yet he dared not make a move.”
“Su Yuanshan is old and cunning. Due to Master Feng’s status, he dares not act openly, but who knows what he does in the shadows,” Xiang Yan nodded in agreent.
“Brother Feng and I have indeed encountered quite a few assassins; it’s unclear which power they belong to. I’m afraid Burn Heaven Valley might have sent people after Brother Feng,” Miao Qingqing said.
Chu Wuheng and Xiang Yan’s brows furrowed slightly, as they too could guess the reasons behind these events.
“Hmph! They really have so nerve!” Wei Yun snorted angrily, “Master Feng, we will certainly investigate this promptly and make them pay the price!”
Upon hearing this, Feng Wuchen shook his head and said, “I will handle these matters myself, so long as they don’t regret it. I am a man who must avenge his grievances. But now is not the right ti.”
Hearing this, Chu Wuheng and the others’ expressions shifted subtly, perceiving the ruthlessness in Feng Wuchen’s words, which seed to serve as a warning to them as well.
Who could say for sure that among those pursuing Feng Wuchen, there weren’t people from the auction house or Tiandu?
Feng Wuchen dared not claim there were none.
Looking at Chu Wuheng and the others, Feng Wuchen continued, “Capital Lord, President Xiang, my reason for coming is to ask for your help in finding Liu Qingyang’s whereabouts. With Lin Yunchong dead, I truly have no clue where he could have hidden Liu Qingyang.”
Chu Wuheng patted his chest and said, “Master Feng, rest assured, we will do our utmost. As long as Liu Qingyang is still in Yunzhou, we will definitely find him.”
“Thank you all.” Feng Wuchen said gratefully.
“Master Feng, I might have an idea where Lin Yunchong is hiding Liu Qingyang, but I can’t be sure.” Steward Li suddenly spoke up.
“Oh? Let’s hear it.” Feng Wuchen looked at Steward Li.
Steward Li said respectfully, “Master Feng, Lin Yunchong often cos to the auction house and it is always I who receive him. He usually cos with the young sect master of Grand Cloud Sect, and he has a deep relationship with him. Moreover, Grand Cloud Sect is not far from Tian Yun Mountain.”
“Grand Cloud Sect?” Feng Wuchen furrowed his brows, and his face instantly turned cold.
“Master Feng, this is only my speculation, I dare not be certain!” Steward Li added, worried about offending the Grand Cloud Sect by misspeaking.
“Thank you for the reminder, Steward Li. Perhaps Liu Qingyang really is in Grand Cloud Sect.” Feng Wuchen thanked him. Steward Li’s information was undoubtedly a breakthrough.
Feng Wuchen and Miao Qingqing had searched the surrounding area of Tian Yun Mountain for hundreds of miles with no news, nor had Burn Heaven Valley any news of Liu Qingyang, so the likelihood was greatest that he was at Grand Cloud Sect!
Whether Liu Qingyang was at Grand Cloud Sect, Feng Wuchen would know once he got there.
“We mustn’t delay, Qingqing, let’s go to Grand Cloud Sect imdiately!” Feng Wuchen said in a deep voice, unable to pause for even a mont.
“Master Feng, please wait!” Chu Wuheng hurriedly interjected: “Master Feng, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone. If Liu Qingyang is truly in Grand Cloud Sect, there’s bound to be a fierce battle. With your current strength, I fear it’s a one-way trip for you. Let go with you!”
Looking at Chu Wuheng, Feng Wuchen said with a smile, “If Liu Qingyang is in Grand Cloud Sect, I am there to kill. You should be clear about this, Capital Lord.”
Without hesitation, Chu Wuheng responded, “If it can help Master Feng, then not just killing; destroying Grand Cloud Sect wouldn’t be a problem either.”
Chu Wuheng wasn’t making empty promises; with his formidable strength, he was capable of annihilating Grand Cloud Sect on his own.
The reason Chu Wuheng was so willing to help was firstly to form an alliance with Feng Wuchen, understanding well the great benefits of doing so.
Secondly, it was also an opportunity to clear himself of any suspicion! At the very least, Feng Wuchen wouldn’t suspect Tiandu had also sent people to kill him.
“Good!” Feng Wuchen nodded. Indeed, the strength of the Grand Cloud Sect was not weak; going alone, he truly feared a one-way trip.
Xiang Yan, who was standing aside, chuckled, “Master Feng has shown kindness to the auction house and Elder Wei. If I were to just stand by and watch, that would be unjustifiable. The principle that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude, is sothing I understand well.”
Wei Yun and the other elders also stood up one after another, adamant in offering their help to Feng Wuchen.
Their eagerness to help naturally also stemd from self-interest.
Feng Wuchen, along with Chu Wuheng, Xiang Yan, and others, hastily made their way to Grand Cloud Sect.
It had been two months, and whether Liu Qingyang was dead or alive, no one knew. Feng Wuchen couldn’t afford to waste any more ti.
Along the way, Feng Wuchen carried Miao Qingqing as they perford Sword Flight, moving at an astonishing speed, not much slower than the Several Yuandan Realm experts like Chu Wuheng and the others.
Such a powerful display of True Yuan truly astonished and impressed Chu Wuheng and his companions.
At the gate of Grand Cloud Sect, Feng Wuchen and Miao Qingqing appeared, while Chu Wuheng and the others seed to be hiding in the shadows.
“Big Brother Feng, what’s the situation? Can you sense Brother Liu’s presence?” Miao Qingqing asked anxiously.
After sensing carefully, Feng Wuchen’s mouth curled into a slight smile and he said, “Qingyang is indeed in Grand Cloud Sect, alive, but his aura is very weak.”
“That’s great! We’ve finally found Brother Liu!” Miao Qingqing imdiately rejoiced, her heart’s burden at last lifting, and tears of joy involuntarily fell from her eyes, weeping for joy.
“Who goes there? This is the sacred ground of Grand Cloud Sect, outsiders cannot trespass, quickly…” Upon detecting Feng Wuchen and Miao Qingqing’s arrival, a disciple imdiately shouted loudy.
However, before he could finish his sentence, he would never speak in this lifeti again.
The two disciples guarding the gate were struck dead by Feng Wuchen in an instant, one punch each, with their heart areas completely caved in, their bodies were flung into the gates.
Knowing that Liu Qingyang was in Grand Cloud Sect, Feng Wuchen was filled with killing intent and charged straight in.
“How dare you! Who dares to kill the disciples of my Grand Cloud Sect!” In the inner courtyard, a man shouted angrily as nurous Sect disciples surged out.
But when the man saw Feng Wuchen and Miao Qingqing appear, his face imdiately turned pale with fear and panic.
“Feng… Master Feng! Transford Realm Sixth Layer!” the man exclaid wide-eyed.
“Master Feng? Uncle-Master, is he Master Feng?” The disciples cried out in shock, their faces also turning panic-stricken.
“So, you’re from Grand Cloud Sect! We et again on this narrow road. Two months gone, and your cultivation hasn’t improved at all,” Feng Wuchen said, sowhat surprised upon seeing the middle-aged man in the courtyard, whom he had encountered previously in the forest.
Because the man was the Transformative Realm Eightfold expert he had fought before.
“Now that you know, don’t even think about leaving here alive! Kill him for !” The man’s face was grim as he angrily ordered Feng Wuchen’s death, his eyes full of venomous hate and murderous intent.
“You got away last ti, but it won’t be so easy this ti!” Feng Wuchen said coldly. A chilling murderous aura enveloped the area as he instantly surged forward with the power of the Dragon God, his speed was terrifying, and the Sect disciples had no ti to react.
“What?” The man’s face twisted with panic, his eyes and expression filled with fear and despair.
