Chapter 573: It really is him!
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Tuoba Wu Chen recovered from the huge shock. He turned around and saw that Feng Zhi Xing was actually smiling. His eyes were open wide as he looked at the person outside the battlefield.
He was the most familiar with this brat, Feng Zhi Xing. Although he always looked like he was wearing a smile, he rarely ever truly smiled. Right now, his smile was actually brimming with joy, which was extremely, extremely rare.
“He’s that kid?” Tuoba Wu Chen asked.
“Yeah.”
“He’s only twenty over years old, but actually came to this continent. I wonder how he got here.” Tuoba Wu Chen said with curiosity, “The person beside him looks rather familiar, eh?”
“The Holy Son of the Sage Pavilion. Of course he’d look familiar.” Feng Zhi Xing said.
“What are the two of them doing together? Could it be that someone from the Sage Pavilion went to the Yi Lin continent and realised his talent, so they want to recruit her into the Sage Pavilion?” Tuoba Wu Chen speculated.
The Feng Clan would not normally head to the Yi Lin Continent, but the Sage Pavilion would. That’s because they had the most branches in the continent below. They had a high probability of discovering Sima You Yue.
Furthermore, she was standing so close to Wu Lingyu. It seemed that they were extremely familiar with each other, but not just anyone could cosy up to the Holy Son.
When he thought of this, Feng Zhi Xing began to worry that his disciple was being taken away by the Sage Pavilion. One had to know that the Feng Clan and the Sage Pavilion had more than their fair share of grudges.
Those of the devil clan gave a few shouts, and they fought while retreating.
Sima You Yue understood what they were saying. They were saying that their opponents were too strong, so everyone had to retreat.
However, the Feng Clan saw that Feng Zhi Xing was being surrounded by them, so how was it possible that they would let them retreat. Each and every single one of them were ruthlessly slaughtered.
Finally, aside from the devil emperor and the two devil generals who had escaped back to their blood red world, the other devil clansmen were killed by the Feng clansmen and the elders of the Three Yuan Egret clan.
Sima You Yue watched as the battle ended, and got Halcyon to fly her over. She stood away from the carcasses, and watched Feng Zhi Xing talk to Feng Liu and the others.
“Dear Xing, how are you?” Dan Jing saw Feng Zhi Xing, who had already lost so much weight, and couldn’t imagine how the past years had been like for him.
“Wu Chen, what are you doing here with Dear Xing?” Feng Liu saw Tuoba Wu Chen, and took out some pills for the both of them.
“It’s a long story, let’s wait till we get back, then we’ll tell Uncle and Aunty everything.” Tuoba Wu Chen said.
“Yes yes yes, heal up first.” Feng Zhi Yang said.
Feng Zhi Xing took the pills and ate it, then he stepped over the carcasses and arrived in front of Sima You Yue.
“Master, I’ve come.” Sima You Yue said with a smile.
Feng Zhi Xing stretched forth a hand and touched Sima You Yue’s face, then said with gratitude, “You’ve really exceeded Master’s expectations. Master… is extremely pleased…”
After speaking, his body fell towards Sima You Yue and he fainted.
“Master? Master?” Sima You Yue supported him, then saw that he did not react even after she called out twice. She stretched forth a hand to grab his wrist.
Wu Lingyu who was standing beside them carried Feng Zhi Xing by the side, not letting him rest on her body.
Feng Liu and the others dashed over hurriedly and saw that Wu Lingyu was personally supporting him. They wondered whether they were close before? Otherwise, how could the Holy Song who never usually got close to others be willing to support a person who was filthy from head to toe.
Only he knew that he was willing to do this only because he didn’t want another man to lean on her body.
“You Yue, how is Dear Xing?”
Sima You Yue took his pulse and gave him a check up, then said, “Master’s body has merely been too strained. Now that he has a chance to relax, his body just hasn’t had the time to recover. It’s no big deal. With the medicine you just gave him, he should be able to recover slowly.
As she just finished speaking, Tuoba Wu Chen alo fainted. It was a good thing that Feng Zhi Yang wasn’t far away and managed to catch him.
“This place is too close to the devil realm. Let’s continue speaking after we leave this place.” Feng Liu ordered.
As such, they carried the two unconscious men onto the flying beast and flew away. Sima You Yue took a look at those dead scarlet bees, and with a wave of her hand, brought them into her spirit pagoda. To onlookers, it seemed as if the scarlet queen bee had kept them away.
“You Yue, you have so many bees, so where are they normally kept?” Feng Zhi Yang asked curiously.
“Scarlet Queen Bee has a contract with all her scarlet bees, so it has a huge contracted space.” Sima You Yue used an excuse that she thought of long ago. In any case, for things like this, there was no way they could ever verify with another scarlet queen bee, and they were unlikely to ask to take a look at that space, right?’
As expected, after putting it this way, the feng clansmen didn’t ask any further. They merely kept looking at the scarlet queen bee on her shoulder.
“Where are we headed to now?” She ignored those gazes entirely and changed the subject.
“An inhabited land in the human clan,”
“There’s actually a human clan here with inhabitants?” Sima You Yue asked in surprise.
“Of course. Human clans have to send men to guard this area in the event the devil clan manages to break through the bloody tunnel and runs to the continent to wreak havoc upon the human realm.” Feng Liu said, “That’s why someone must always be a human clan stationed here. If they encounter that kind of devil clan like we did just now, they have to destroy them. If they cannot, they have to at least beat them back to where they came from.”
“For the battle we had today, if we weren’t the ones who happened to encounter it, I’m afraid that they would already have been able to break in here.” Sima You Yue said.
Hearing what she said, Dan Jing and the others expressions suddenly changed. Although they could already see the inhabited area, Feng Liu still got someone to change direction.
“What’s wrong?” Sima You Yue asked.
“The Bloody Continent is so big, and it has also been divided into different areas. Every area should have their own people patrolling.” Wu Lingyu explained to her.
Sima You Yue understood. Since every area should have their own patrols, the people here must have known long ago that Feng Zhi Xing and the others were trapped in there. However, they didn’t rescue them at all. This proved that the people had done so intentionally. They intentionally pretended that they did not discover them, and did not rescue them. There was an extremely high possibility that they were glad to see them trapped in there.
This meant that the people stationed here very likely had a grudge against the Feng clan!
That was why they did not dare to look for those people, and could only rush to an area nearby.
The person in charge of this area, Xiong An Ran, was Feng Liu’s old friend. Once he knew that they had arrived, he hurriedly went to greet them.
“Little Liu, what brings you here?” Xiong An Ran saw Feng Liu and called out loudly.
When Sima You Yue heard the way he greeted Feng Liu, she could not help but lower her head and grin.
Feng Liu had long since been accustomed to the greeting and said, “I came to find my son, and I’ll fill you in on the details later. They’re injured now, and we need to find a place to let them rest.”
“Come with me, then.” Xiong An Ran led the way. He got his guards to carry Feng Zhi Xing and Tuoba Wu Chen, and followed him to an empty house.
Sima You Yue wanted to follow along to monitor Feng Zhi Xing’s condition, but she suddenly felt an unusual aura. It had been a long time since the Devil Snare bracelet had any movement.
