"I will obey all orders from Master Fengshen. The word 'ask'... I cannot bear it." Feng Xian'er bowed deeply, feeling extremely terrified.

“No, you can bear it.” The Phoenix Spirit said, its pupil light getting fainter and fainter every year, and its voice getting heavier and heavier every year: “This Lord hopes that you can leave this place and stay by Yun Che’s side as much as possible.”

"Ah?" Feng Xian'er was surprised. Then she thought of the word "ask" it said, and she became even more flustered. "He is Xian'er's great benefactor. Xian'er must not do anything to hurt him no matter what."

"I want you to stay by his side, not to do anything harmful to him, and certainly not to plot against him."

"Then... Lord Phoenix God wants Xian'er to protect him?" She felt a little relieved.

The Phoenix Spirit said, "The strongest people on this continent are all close to him. He does not need your protection. But there is one thing that only you can do."

"Only... me?" Feng Xian'er muttered, at a loss.

“Next, you must remember every word I say. Don’t forget even a single word. This is because it concerns Yun Che’s life and death, and fate. It even concerns the life and death of this continent!”

Feng Xian'er looked ahead, her mind in a state of confusion...

…………

…………

Passing through the Phoenix barrier is the "outside world", a world that Yun Wuxin has never set foot in.

Feng Xian'er brought Yun Che, while Yun Wuxin brought Chu Yuechan. High in the sky, the view was so wide that it had no boundaries, and the air smelled completely different... Yun Wuxin's starry eyes kept looking around, breathing in the different air, as excited as a bird out of a cage.

"Finally leaving here." Chu Yuechan looked into the distance with a complicated look.

She had lived in the Frozen Cloud Palace for many years, and had been isolated from the world for many years as a member of the Phoenix Clan. To others, that might be a cage, but to her, she had long been accustomed to it. Thinking about the future, she was instead filled with hesitation.

The biggest reason why she was willing to leave with Yun Che was Yun Wuxin.

"Little fairy," he knew what Chu Yuechan was thinking, and said softly, "I will always be by your side."

In the distance, a dangerous aura suddenly approached.

It was a huge eagle, its body green, and it stirred up a storm as it flew, and the direction of the storm was clearly where they were.

Feng Xian'er's face tensed up and she immediately stood in front of Yun Che. On the other hand, Yun Che was not worried at all.

"Huh?" Yun Wuxin turned his eyes away, stretched out his little hand, and gently pointed in the direction of the giant eagle.

Suddenly, all the storms disappeared, and the giant eagle that was swooping down was firmly blocked in the air by a force that it could not resist even if it was ten times stronger.

Yun Wuxin looked at it very carefully, and then asked curiously: "What is this? It looks so beautiful, but also very fierce."

Yun Che smiled and said, “This is the Storm Eagle. Back then, I was chased by it and fell here.”

"Ah?" Yun Wuxin opened his lips and said angrily, "It actually chased after Daddy. It must be a bad creature!"

She poked lightly with her finger, and immediately, the poor Storm Eagle flew down like a spinning top... until it flew out of Yun Che's field of vision.

“Hahahaha.” Yun Che laughed heartily, then frowned again.

First it was the Green Scale Beast, then the Storm Eagle. Their temperaments were completely different from what he knew, and they were so ferocious that they seemed to be distorted.

Wait… twist!?

The first thing Yun Che thought of that could distort the temperament of living beings invisibly, or the only thing he could think of, was the dark profound energy!

However, this was the Profound Sky Continent. After the demise of Fen Juechen and Xuanyuan Wentian, no one else possessed the dark profound power except him. The Moon-Slaying Devil Cave near the Supreme Ocean Palace had been sealed off for years. Even if it hadn’t been sealed off, the leaked demonic energy wouldn’t have affected this place.

As Yun Che pondered silently, a flash of red light suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the east... Just above the eastern sky, there was a red star shining brightly.

It was daytime at this time, and the blazing white light of the sun was enough to cover all the brilliance of the stars and the moon, but this ray of light not only existed, its starlight seemed to be able to penetrate everything. The moment Yun Che looked directly at it, it was like being pierced by a red steel needle in the eye, and even his heart and soul were filled with an unspeakable pain.

That is...

"Huh? Look, mom, that red star appears again."

While Yun Che was in doubt, he heard Yun Wuxin’s soft call. As her voice fell, the red light completely disappeared into the air and did not appear again for a long time.

Red Star...Again!?

“What was going on with that red light just now? Does it appear often?” Yun Che turned around and asked.

Feng Xian'er replied, "It's the 'red star'. It started to appear about half a year ago. It often flashes for a short time before disappearing. So far, no one knows what it is. However, there are many rumors that the red star shining brightly in the Profound Sky Continent is a sign of good fortune."

Yun Che: “…”

“In fact, it’s not just in the Profound Sky Continent. My brother and I have also seen it appear when we were traveling in the Illusory Demon Realm.” Feng Xian’er finished speaking and whispered to herself, “It seems to be appearing more and more frequently recently.”

“Half a year ago…” Yun Che frowned and suddenly asked, “Isn’t it about the same time as the mysterious beast turmoil?”

"Ah?" Feng Xian'er was stunned: "It seems... indeed. Could there be any connection between the two?"

“…” Yun Che was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, “I was just saying this casually. Let’s go.”

“By the way, Xian’er, why did the Phoenix God summon you specifically?” Yun Che asked casually.

“This…” Feng Xian’er lowered her head slightly and said softly, “I don’t want to hide it from you, but… but Master Fengshen said that this matter cannot be told to anyone, so… I’m sorry…”

Yun Che waved his hands hurriedly: “No, no, Phoenix God took the initiative to summon me, it must be a big deal, I shouldn’t ask nonsense.”

Feng Xian'er opened her mouth, but ultimately stopped herself from speaking.

There are many mysterious beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, and most of them have become ferocious. The moment they discover them, they rush up to attack like crazy.

When they left the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain area, they were attacked by twelve waves of mysterious beasts.

The mysterious beasts here are mostly spiritual mysterious beasts and earth mysterious beasts, while sky mysterious beasts are extremely rare. With Feng Xian'er and Yun Wuxin by their side, no matter how many of these runaway mysterious beasts there are, they will not pose any threat to them.

Finally leaving the area of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, Yun Che discovered that the mysterious beasts that normally would not step out of their own territory had actually appeared in large numbers in the outer areas. All the villages near the outer areas were now in ruins, and even the official roads were unusually deserted, with not a single person to be seen in broad daylight.

“Is it the same with the mysterious beast riots in other places?” Yun Che asked.

“Yes.” Feng Xian’er nodded. “The most serious is the Death Wasteland area. The surrounding area of a hundred miles has become a disaster area. No one dares to approach. Although it has been suppressed time and time again, it is said that the scope of the unrest has been expanding. If it continues like this, all the mysterious beasts in the entire Death Wasteland may cause unrest.”

This means that in order to resolve the unrest there, it is likely that all the mysterious beasts in the Death Wasteland will have to be killed in the end.

A whole 800-li Death Wasteland… the most dangerous place in Blue Wind Country, where countless dangerous mysterious beasts live. The level of these mysterious beasts is definitely not comparable to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. The two dragons in it almost buried Chu Yuechan.

It is conceivable that without the help of the Phoenix Divine Sect, such unrest would be a huge disaster for the Blue Wind Nation.

what is going on!?

Yun Che described in detail to Yun Wuxin the customs and practices of the Cangfeng Imperial City and Cangfeng Nation that they were going to. After walking a little further, they heard roars of mysterious beasts and tearing sounds that were so fast that they almost overlapped.

Yun Che could tell that it was the sound of sword light tearing through space.

Feng Xian'er stopped and said to Yun Che, "It was the Ling Jie I met the day before yesterday."

"Ling Jie?" Chu Yuechan glanced sideways: "The second son of Tianjian Villa?"

In the Cangfeng ranking match that year, Ling Jie fought against Yun Che. The sword power he displayed at the age of sixteen, as well as his talent that surpassed his brother Ling Yun, completely astonished everyone present.

“It’s him.” Yun Che said, “Over the years, he left Tianjian Villa and has been wandering outside, both for cultivation and to help me find you and atone for his mother’s sins.”

Chu Yuechan: "..."

"He has done me many favors. When I was fighting with the Burning Heaven Sect, he was afraid that I would be in danger, so he traveled thousands of miles to help me... His grandfather Ling Tianni wanted to kill me, and he risked his life to stop me... When I went to the Divine Phoenix Nation to participate in the Seven Nation Ranking Tournament, he went there to cheer me up. Although these are not great favors, they are extremely precious and pure."

Yun Che sighed softly, with mixed feelings: “That’s why, even though I knew what Xuanyuan Yufeng had done, I didn’t kill her in the end.”

“Should we avoid him?” Feng Xian’er asked. The day before yesterday, Yun Che clearly did not want to meet him.

“No need.” Yun Che smiled: “It’s rare to see each other again, I should at least say hello.”

Ling Jie was not here for cultivation. With his current cultivation level, this was not a place for him to practice at all. He stayed here for several days in a row, obviously to save as many people as possible who had strayed into this place.

Just like the day before, when Feng Xian'er and Yun Che were besieged by the blue-scaled beasts, he rushed out like thunder.

Click! !

The sword's gleam was blinding, tearing black marks across the space. The rioting profound beasts fell in droves under his sword. As the last roar of the profound beasts faded away, Yun Che's figure appeared in his sight.

At that moment, he froze there, his eyes blurred.

“Xiao Jie, long time no see. You seem to be basically the same as before.” Yun Che said with a smile as he was supported by Feng Xian’er and dropped from the sky.

Ling Jie was still stunned, his eyes dazed, and after a few breaths, he couldn't believe it and said: "Yun... Yun... Ah no... You are... You really are..."

“It’s only been five years since we last met? You don’t recognize me so quickly?” His reaction made Yun Che smile.

"No, no..." Ling Jie shook his head quickly. It was only at this moment that he finally believed his own eyes. He walked forward excitedly: "Boss, is it really...really you? It is said that you went to a higher plane world. You...you...did you come back from there? But...you look..."

He could naturally sense that Yun Che had no profound aura at all… He could understand that the gap between him and Yun Che was too great and he could not sense it. However, he could see more clearly that Yun Che had rough skin and his pupils were particularly cloudy…

“Yes,” Yun Che nodded: “I did go to another world, and I just came back from there not too long ago. My current appearance… As you can see, my profound strength has been completely wasted, and I will basically be a useless person from now on.”

Ling Jie was startled and murmured in disbelief and incomprehension: "How...how could it be..."

As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently shifted and landed on Chu Yuechan… At that moment, he was struck by lightning, and the Tianyang Sword, which he always carried with him, flew out of his hand and hit the gravel at his feet, making a crisp “dang” sound.

“Yuechan… Fairy!?” He froze there again, his pupils shaking even more violently than when he saw Yun Che.

Chu Yuechan, once the most beautiful woman in Cangfeng Xuanjie, the woman his father was crazy in love with and his mother was jealous to death... She was also the person he had dreamed of finding all these years.

“Well,” Yun Che smiled and said, “I finally found her.”

Bang!!

Ling Jie knelt heavily facing Chu Yuechan, tears welling up in his eyes: "Ling Jie, the descendant of sinners, apologizes to Fairy Yuechan on behalf of my deceased mother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his head hit the ground heavily... Without any mysterious energy to protect him, blood immediately flowed from his forehead, and the splattered sand and dust spread all over it.
