C18 The Mysterious Old Man
The mysterious old man.
When Guu Feng woke up again, it was already a night.
The 13 Spirit Essence Bone Particle in front of him had been completely refined and merged into his left palm's Palace Acupoint, becoming a part of the bright black spot.
On the surface, his body did not seem to have changed much. The wound on his shoulder and abdomen had just healed. His meridians were still broken, and his Dantian and Qi Sea were even more broken. However, Guu Feng could clearly feel it. The spirit energy that supported his movements had become much stronger. The monster beast shadow in the Lao Gong acupuncture point even seemed to have the tendency to condense into reality!
After letting out a long breath of impure air, Guu Feng opened his eyes.
Calculating the time, Chu Zhen and Qin Ling's wedding date should be near. After they got married, they would have to set off for the Spirit Capital's War Soul Academy. If he wanted to take revenge, he had to make the best use of his time to sneak back to the Floating Cloud City!
However, if he really wanted to go back to Floating Cloud City, with his current strength, it was obviously not enough. At the very least, he had to reach the realm of martial artist. Otherwise, just Chu Chengfang alone could easily kill him.
Thinking of this, Guu Feng's eyes fell on the black jade box.
Since there was a seal on it, perhaps there was some kind of magic treasure hidden inside.
The corner of his mouth curled into a smile. With a light twist of his finger, a drop of blood essence seeped out and rubbed onto the spirit pattern array on the box.
The blood seeped into the array and quickly disappeared.
Guu Feng frowned.
Could it be that his guess was wrong?
Suddenly, a black light burst out from the spirit pattern array. Along with a trace of spirit energy fluctuation, it flashed in front of him and turned into a portrait that flew into the air and quickly burned.
"As expected!" How could such an important thing not have any protection!
Guu Feng did not panic. He reached out his hand and grabbed the Ivory Bone Blade beside him. With a wave of his palm, he broke the stone seal at the cave entrance and ran down the mountain without looking back.
As soon as he left, the portrait in the cave was completely burned away. With a wave of spiritual power that rippled like water, an old man with white eyebrows appeared out of thin air.
He swept around the empty cave and his face suddenly darkened. He let out an angry shout and hurried out of the cave.
Unexpectedly, just as he chased out of the cave, a monster that was more than ten meters tall, with a body like a Mammoth and a stronghold that looked like a fierce tiger pounced over and swallowed him whole...
On a nameless mountain thousands of miles away.
An old man with white eyebrows, under the protection of several martial artists covered in black robes, sat cross-legged on a huge rock and operated a profound art. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire person instantly aged a lot.
"Master, are you alright?" Beside him, a black robed martial artist asked in a soft and caring voice.
"I just lost a Spirit Pattern Shadow Body. I won't die for the time being!" The old man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a cold voice.
"Can you see that person's face clearly?" The martial artist asked.
The old man sighed and his expression became much dimmer, "It's a pity that my old injuries in Spirit Capital have not recovered yet, and that person seems to have a battle beast that can suppress the power of the spirit pattern around him. The shadow clone did not chase far before swallowing it. In the end, it was a step too late."
When the warrior heard that, he sighed. He turned around and gnashed his teeth. "The Subduing Spirit Box was opened by someone. Something must have happened to Mister Ye!"
Hearing the voice, the one hidden under the black robe was actually Female Cultivator.
"Enough!" The old man suddenly became furious. He looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Mei'er, how long more do you want to hide it from me?"
"Master, you..." Liu Mei, who was dressed like a martial artist, said in surprise.
"Don't forget, I am not only your master. I'm also your father. I planted a protective spirit pattern on your body when you were a year old!" The old man stood up and shouted angrily, "How dare you carry me behind your back and marry that Ye Han? Do you think I don't know? Also, that thing is related to my plan that I have been planning for many years. You have been keeping it, why is it with Ye Han? And now it has fallen into someone else's hands? Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
" If that thing were to fall into the hands of the dean, do you know how severe the consequences would be? "
Liu Mei's delicate body trembled as she stood there in a daze. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.
The old man ignored her and turned to instruct the few black-robed martial practitioners beside him, "Immediately give the order to mobilize all the forces on our side. We must find that person!"
"Yes, my lord!"
The black-robed martial practitioners obeyed the order and left.
Liu Mei hesitated for a moment and also wanted to leave. Suddenly, a cold snort came from behind, suppressing her there, not daring to move.
"Where are you going?"
The old man asked coldly.
Liu Mei's eyes were filled with tears. She said decisively, "I must find him!"
"It's fine if you want to go. Take this thing with you!" As the old man spoke, he handed over a broken sleeve. "With this thing, that fellow who stole the Subduing Spirit Box should be able to find you."
Liu Mei received the sleeve and took a look. Her expression immediately changed greatly. "Father, how can this thing be shown to others?"
"Hmph, we've already lost half of it. Do you think we can still use this half?"
The old man closed his eyes, as if he was going to leave it up to fate.
Liu Mei didn't dare to say anything else. She put away her sleeves and turned around to leave.
After she left, a young spirit cultivator who looked exactly like Ye Han quietly appeared in the shadows below the huge rock. He came to the front of the old man and bowed. "Sir, don't worry. As long as the dean doesn't get it, it won't be a big deal."
The old man shook his head and said, "That thing is very important. No outsiders are allowed to discover it. We still have a chance. You should go to Floating Cloud City as soon as possible. The spiritual medium that Ye Han has was destroyed nearby. The person who obtained the Subduing Spirit Box should be around there as well."
"The map on the young lady's body..." The young spirit cultivator was somewhat worried.
"Use her to find that person, then kill her!" The old man's voice was cold and stern. "I will never allow anyone who disobeys me to exist, even my daughter!"
