Compared to the God Realm, the atmosphere of the Profound Sky Continent is shallow and turbid.
And in the Profound Tian Continent, this place is undoubtedly a pure and spotless paradise.
As time went by, Yun Che, who had regained the ability to walk, would walk through many places here every day. His body was gradually getting rid of his weakness and becoming more and more like a normal... mortal.
Summer is gone and autumn is here. Leaves are falling. Yun Che walks on the fallen leaves. His steps are still a little slow, but he is not supported by anyone. Feng Xian'er follows him closely. This is the Phoenix Relics Land. It is isolated by the Phoenix barrier. There will not be any outsiders or mysterious beasts, but she just can't feel at ease.
There were rocks all over the front, no trees in sight, but for some reason there was a thick layer of fallen leaves. Yun Che's body swayed slightly as he stepped on the soft fallen leaves, and Feng Xian'er hurried forward, carefully holding onto his arm.
“It’s okay,” Yun Che smiled, “I can walk back by myself today.”
After he finished speaking, he found Feng Xian'er looking ahead silently with a dazed look in her eyes.
"Brother Benefactor, do you still remember?" Feng Xian'er said softly, "This is where we first met."
Yun Che was stunned for a moment and looked forward.
"At that time, my brother and I were captured by a group of bad guys called 'Black Demons'. Here we met you and Sister Xueruo. Sister Xueruo beat those bad guys away and saved my brother and me..."
For Feng Xian'er, that scene was not only a precious memory that she would never forget, but also a turning point in her fate: "Sister Xueruo was so beautiful and kind. Not only did she save us, she also promised to save our people."
"At that time, my benefactor brother was unconscious, his body was dirty, and there was a lot of blood. But Sister Xueruo didn't despise you at all. She carried you on her back and followed us back home... At that time, although you seemed to be seriously injured, my brother and I felt that you were very happy."
Yun Che: “…”
"I don't know, Sister Xueruo... Oh no, now she's the Queen Sister. Is she doing well now?" Feng Xian'er looked into the distance and said sincerely, "But, there is one thing I know, she must... must miss her benefactor brother very much."
Feng Xian'er's words brought Yun Che's memory back to thirteen years ago... The scenes from that time replayed in his mind, scene by scene, incomparably clear, yet as if they were from another world.
If we say that the first turning point in his fate was when he met Jasmine.
As for the second time, it was undoubtedly because he met Cang Yue, who was using the alias Lan Xueruo at that time.
…………
"Junior Brother Yun, once my father's wish is fulfilled, I will leave with you. Princess... the royal family... I don't want anything..."
…………
"Senior Sister, your tears are too precious. So precious...I can only exchange them for my entire life."
…………
"I said those words because I was worried and afraid... I don't know if I have truly entered Senior Sister's heart, because Senior Sister is so good and is a princess, while I have no power and no influence, and come from a humble background. I have nothing except self-esteem, passion, and love for Senior Sister, so I am really worried and afraid... I am very selfish, and I want to see if Senior Sister will cry for me..."
…………
Those humble and confused years, those words and promises that seem childish now, but come from the heart...
Lan Xueruo... Cang Yue... the royal princess who fell in love with him when he was at his most humble and confused, and was even willing to give up everything for him...
“Xian’er,” Yun Che suddenly said, “I want to go to… Cangfeng Imperial City to take a look.”
Feng Xian'er turned around in a flash, huge surprise blossomed in her eyes and heart like fireworks. She nodded vigorously: "Okay, let's go together... Let's go now!"
Without making any preparations, without telling any of the clansmen, and without giving Yun Che any chance to hesitate or regret, Feng Xian'er took Yun Che up with her bare hands and flew high into the sky against the breeze, flying outside the Phoenix Clan.
During this period of time, he seemed to have locked himself in here, unable to leave. Today, his heart, which was closed in self-destruction, finally opened a small gap.
Leaving the center of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, a light-colored barrier appeared before their eyes. As Feng Xian'er approached, a gap in the barrier automatically opened up, and then the two flew out of the barrier and headed north.
“When was this barrier set up?” Yun Che asked. He looked towards the distant north, thinking about the person he was about to meet. The determination that had just emerged began to rise and fall in the wind again.
Feng Xian'er was in a very good mood. She replied, "Back then, Master Phoenix not only lifted the curse on our bloodline, but also opened this Phoenix barrier to protect us after you left, giving us enough time to grow so that we wouldn't have to face the disaster we once experienced."
“I see.” Yun Che nodded slightly. It turned out that after he and Cang Yue left, this protective barrier had already been opened. Perhaps the Phoenix Spirit felt a little guilty about the blood curse that brought disaster to its descendants, or perhaps… after it gave him its soul and the flame of Nirvana, it knew that it had little time left to exist, so it used its last strength to transform into the power of protection.
“Back then, the Divine Phoenix Empire launched a massive attack on Blue Wind, and it was the Phoenix barrier that protected us. In recent years, Blue Wind has been plagued by mysterious beast riots, and recently it has spread to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, making the mysterious beasts here very terrifying. It was also Master Phoenix’s barrier that protected us.” Feng Xian’er said.
“The mysterious beasts… are causing unrest?” Yun Che’s eyes slightly tilted: “What’s going on?”
As soon as he said this, he felt Feng Xian'er's body tense slightly.
At this moment, a sharp... and obviously violent cry was heard, and a huge green shadow rushed out from below, sweeping towards them with a terrible gust of wind.
When he saw this green shadow, Yun Che's mind suddenly flashed through its name:
Green-scaled beast!
A high-level wind-type mysterious beast with strong flying ability. It mainly feeds on wind and grass and bamboo. It has a mild temperament and rarely attacks humans and other mysterious beasts unless they are offended.
However, this green-scaled beast that suddenly appeared brought with it a strong wind and attacked violently, and its cry was so shrill, as if it had seen its mortal enemy.
After obtaining the first six levels of the Phoenix Ode and Overlord Pill left by Yun Che, Feng Xian'er and Feng Zu'er's cultivation had made rapid progress in the past few years. They had both broken through to the Emperor Profound Realm. An Earth Profound Beast was no threat to them at all. Even if they allowed it to attack them, it would be difficult to hurt them in the slightest.
But beside her, there was a weak Yun Che!
Even if it was slightly touched by the storm stirred up by the Green Scale Beast, it would be shredded into pieces in an instant.
“Be careful!” Feng Xian’er screamed subconsciously. Yun Che’s body was shaking uncomfortably, and she didn’t dare to move quickly. Her first reaction was to hastily cover Yun Che’s body with most of her profound energy, and the remaining profound energy ignited into phoenix flames.
The red flames ignited the wind, and then mercilessly ignited the green-scaled beast. The green-scaled beast screamed and flew down in the flames... However, in the next moment, dozens of similar screams were heard, and dozens of green-scaled beasts soared into the sky and swooped down. Suddenly, the entire sky was swept by the strong wind.
“…” Yun Che was stunned… What was going on? How could the Blue Scale Beasts become so violent? Could it be that he had made a mistake and these were not Blue Scale Beasts?
"Ah!" Feng Xian'er cried out softly, then immediately regained her composure. A red ring of fire instantly burned around her body.
The Phoenix Divine Flame exerted a very strong spiritual pressure on the mysterious beasts. Especially since Feng Xian'er's realm was two realms higher than that of the blue-scaled beasts, the most normal reaction of the mysterious beasts under such Phoenix Divine Flame should be to flee in panic... However, these blue-scaled beasts were not frightened at all and still rushed forward, with a sharp sound that almost tore a person's eardrums.
It's like everything has gone crazy.
Feng Xian'er's gestures changed slightly, and she was about to burn them all to ashes, but at this moment, a sword beam suddenly flashed by.
Chi! !
This sword light tore through the storm, tore through space, and even instantly destroyed the three green-scaled beasts. Then, a white shadow appeared in the distance, and the sword in its hand cut through the white light, burying the violent green-scaled beasts piece by piece into the abyss of death.
“This guy…” Feng Xian’er withdrew her hand slightly, and then opened her lips slightly: “He is so powerful.”
She didn't notice that Yun Che's eyes were slightly dull at first, and then turned into an indescribable complexity.
Although he had lost his consciousness, he could still recognize that the man was using the Heavenly Mighty Sword.
His figure and sword shadow were too swift to be captured by his current eyesight, but he still vaguely recognized the identity of this person...
"Xian'er," he said softly, "Don't let him see me."
“Ah?” Feng Xian’er was slightly surprised, then she flicked her hand, and a layer of scarlet phoenix flames covered Yun Che’s body.
The sword shadow was like a rainbow, and in just a moment, all the green-scaled beasts were destroyed, and even the chaotic storm was completely eliminated. The man in white turned around, his posture was upright and heroic, his eyes were like cold stars, and he held a white sword in his hand. It was ordinary, but in his hand, it reflected a sword light that was difficult to look directly at.
He glanced at Feng Xian'er, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. "Could this girl be from the Phoenix Divine Sect? It seems like I am meddling in other people's business."
Only then did he realize that the woman in front of him, burning with Phoenix flames, clearly had the cultivation base of the Emperor Profound Realm, and his intervention was indeed meddling.
"Thank you for your help." Feng Xian'er said politely.
"You're welcome. With your ability, even if there are thousands of these green-scaled beasts, it would only take a wave of your hand to defeat them." The young man nodded and said, "I am Ling Jie from Tianjian Villa. May I ask why you are here?"
"Hey?" Feng Xian'er exclaimed: "So you are the legendary Blue Wind Sword Saint. No wonder you are so powerful."
Blue Wind Sword Saint?
Yun Che sighed in his heart… As expected of Ling Jie, after not seeing him for a few years, he had actually surpassed his grandfather Ling Tianni and replaced his title of ‘Sword Saint’.
He did not go against the promise made to him, nor did he go against his own will and pursuit. In the future, he will surely stand in a higher realm and become the eternal pride of Tianjian Villa.
"It's just an empty reputation, not worthy of such praise from the young lady." Ling Jie said politely. Compared to his youth, he had lost his youthfulness and naivety, and had become more steady and elegant like his brother Ling Yun.
Feng Xian'er looked to be in her twenties, but her profound strength was actually at the Emperor Profound Realm, which made Ling Jie couldn't help but be surprised. He turned his gaze slightly and landed on Yun Che. The latter's figure was covered in the flames, and he couldn't see clearly, but for some reason, he felt an inexplicable touch in his heart, and blurted out a sentence: "Who is this?"
"He..." Feng Xian'er opened her mouth softly, but she didn't know how to answer.
Yun Che turned his eyes away and said in a low voice: “Let’s go.”
“Yeah.” Feng Xian’er responded. She took Yun Che up again, but saw him turn sideways and said, “I mean, let’s go back.”
"Ah? Go back?" Feng Xian'er was a little confused.
“Well, let’s go back.” Yun Che closed his eyes.
He originally thought that after this period of meditation and settling down, as well as the impulses that were becoming more and more intense, he had already made sufficient preparations.
However, facing Ling Jie, he found that he still couldn't do it...
“…Okay.” Feng Xian’er didn’t force it, but nodded obediently, and flew back with Yun Che…she even forgot to say goodbye to Ling Jie politely.
Ling Jie did not leave, silently watching them go away. His eyes were not on Feng Xian'er, but on the figure covered by the red light, and his heart was filled with inexplicable emotions.
who is he?
There is no aura of the mysterious way, just a mortal among mortals, but why is there a very subtle... sense of familiarity?
