Chapter 705: Revenge Can’t Be Overnight

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Danying felt a mighty pressure pressing down on himself, and the whole world seemed to suddenly turn pitch black, unable to feel anything, to the extent that even his sense of self seemed about to be forgotten.

Involuntarily, a panic rose from the depths of his heart.

But in the next moment, this pressure disappeared without a trace, and in Gu Danying’s eyes, the whole world returned to its original state, as if everything just now had been nothing but an illusion.

“Where did you get this information from?” Min Yanlu reined in the inadvertently scattered pressure.

Due to the battle in Thousand Feathers City, Min Yanlu’s control over his own power had begun to weaken.

In the past, even if his emotions fluctuated greatly, Min Yanlu would not let his power get out of control, but now, there seemed to be such a trend.

“It came from Thousand Feathers City.” Gu Danying hurriedly handed over the paper in his hand.

Min Yanlu took the paper, looked at the information above, and frowned slightly.

“Just broke through and already killed two Mountain Sea Realm experts?”

Min Yanlu looked up at Gu Danying. If this weren’t his most trusted disciple, Min Yanlu would think that the information on this paper was a joke.

“Yes.”

Gu Danying understood what Min Yanlu was thinking and whispered, This matter is important. The people below have confirmed it many times, and Thousand Feathers City has given a definite reply.”

Min Yanlu remained silent, lowering his head again to look at the paper in his hand. The information on it was actually just a few words, but even so, the information it contained was astonishingly significant.

Min Yanlu recalled the scene when he met Chen Fei in Sea Dominion City.

The memory of a Mountain Sea Realm expert was unquestionable. Not to mention recent events, even events from decades ago could be recalled in detail by a Mountain Sea Realm expert if they wished.

In just a moment, Min Yanlu reviewed the scene from start to finish several times.

During that meeting, there was nothing abnormal, except that Min Yanlu could sense something unusual about Chen Fei’s aura.

However, at the time, Min Yanlu, being confident in his status and with Chen Fei being a meritorious figure, naturally didn’t use any secret techniques to inspect Chen Fei.

Now thinking about it, that unusual aura must have been the result of Chen Fei concealing his cultivation.

Even in a face-to-face situation, it only slightly aroused Min Yanlu’s suspicion. Such a concealment technique was truly remarkable.

If Chen Fei had been among many people, Min Yanlu estimated that he wouldn’t have even sensed that slight suspicion.

“In the battle at Fallen Heaven Pavilion, Chen Fei also participated. That mysterious peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert is probably him,” Gu Danying voiced his speculation.

“Whether it’s him or not is no longer important,” Min Yanlu said.

Setting down the paper in his hand, the fact that someone had just broken through and killed two Mountain Sea Realm experts, regardless of the truth of this news, indicated that Chen Fei had indeed reached the Mountain Sea Realm, which was probably a sure thing.

If Min Yanlu’s subordinates could get such an important message wrong, then the intelligence system had no reason to exist.

“Mountain Sea Realm!” Min Yanlu stood up from the stone bench, his gaze flickering.

There must be secrets on Chen Fei’s body. When he met Chen Fei, Min Yanlu could feel the vitality in Chen Fei’s body, indicating that he was relatively young.

At that age, breaking through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was considered excellent talent even in the Thousand Feathers Alliance, not inferior to some geniuses from major sects.

And now, just a few years later, the fact that he had already entered the Mountain Sea Realm was beyond the scope of genius; it was simply monstrous. For someone like him, it was impossible to have no secrets.

Or rather, every martial artist who could break through to the Mountain Sea Realm had their own reliance, more or less.

Some relied on their own talent, some on their background, and some on fortuitous encounters.

Min Yanlu himself had some fortuitous encounters that had allowed him to cultivate all the way to the Mountain Sea Realm and even condense a second Divine Palace.

If it hadn’t been for the sudden intrusion of sea monsters, Min Yanlu would have been able to condense a third Divine Palace within five years and cultivate to the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm within thirty years, acquiring a second talent, which might have been possible.

But back then, these goals had been difficult to achieve.

Just like it was then unrealistic to be fixated on the secrets of Chen Fei’s body. He had already been a Mountain Sea Realm expert, fully grown, not in the fledgling stage.

“Master, Chen Fei also comes from the Thousand Feathers Alliance. If we invite him to join the siege against the Monster Kings, he might agree,” Gu Danying had suggested.

“Our current strength was insufficient.”

There had been five Monster Kings over there, and even with Chen Fei added, they had only had three Mountain Sea Realm experts, just like the strength of the Thousand Feathers Alliance in the past, with no advantage.

“Moreover, it had been unrealistic to expect someone to go fight the Monster Kings with just empty words,” Min Yanlu had shaken his head and chuckled.

Martial artists used to cultivate their qi and blood, and sometimes it was easy to get carried away.

But as their realms advanced, they tended to act impulsively less and less, especially when it came to matters of life and death.

Min Yanlu had briefly heard of the Primordial Sword Sect during his time in Sea Dominion City. It wasn’t native to the Thousand Feathers Alliance, so his sentiment towards the Alliance wasn’t particularly deep.

Gu Danying’s mouth moved slightly, then he sighed bitterly.

As a disciple of the Thousand Feathers Alliance’s main sect, he had harbored an unyielding desire to reclaim it. But for others, it might have just been a place for cultivation.

The power of the five Monster Kings was immense. How could others truly risk their lives just for a simple alliance?

“Forget about returning to the Thousand Feathers Alliance for now, but paying a visit to Thousand Geese City could have been a good start.”

Getting familiar with the situation there would have been helpful for future contact if they really intended to return to the Thousand Feathers Alliance.

And on the Middle Continent, having one more friend in the Mountain Sea Realm would have been always better than being alone.

“Master, I had hoped to accompany you on this journey,” Gu Danying bowed. Back in the Thousand Feathers Alliance, Gu Danying had regarded Chen Fei as a junior, but now, in the blink of an eye, he had cultivated to the Mountain Sea Realm.

Gu Danying wanted to personally see it, using it as his determination to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm.

Although reaching the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was good, in slightly larger battles, there was simply no chance to participate.

Not to mention the Thousand Feathers Alliance, even the Middle Continent nowadays wasn’t very stable. Only the power of the Mountain Sea Realm could provide some sense of security.

Min Yanlu nodded slightly as he saw the determination in Gu Danying’s eyes, then turned his gaze towards the distance.

If, he had indeed given Chen Fei Mountain Sea Realm techniques when he had asked him before, would the situation be different now?

Thousand Geese City.

Chen Fei spent several days refining all the Monster King’s essence blood.

Just as Chen Fei had anticipated, the enhancement to his physique from the Monster King’s essence blood was not significant; it only stabilized his current realm.

The effect of refining Monster King’s essence blood wasn’t great, but it had an unexpected effect on Chen Fei.

Perhaps because he had refined quite a bit of Monster King’s essence blood, at this moment, Chen Fei could faintly sense the approximate position of that Monster King.

It was just a very vague sensation, but with the help of the Heavenly Eye, it might not be impossible to pinpoint the Monster King’s location.

In Chen Fei’s mind, memories of the scene on the sea surfaced.

If Chen Fei’s combat power hadn’t far exceeded that of the peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm at the time, the entire Primordial Sword Sect, and even Chen Fei himself, would have been killed by this Monster King’s revenge. That Monster King, just because it couldn’t capture the real culprit and wanted to vent its anger on other innocent people, simply because in the eyes of the Monster King, these humans were too weak.

Even if they were killed, it wouldn’t have any impact on it; it could just vent its frustration.

Chen Fei’s gaze flickered. They say a gentleman’s revenge is ten years late.

When one’s abilities are lacking, it’s natural to say that it’s never too late. But now that his strength was sufficient, it was a matter of avenging as soon as possible!

Chen Fei handed over various jade slips and some unused resources to Qu Qingsheng, then his figure turned into a streak of light, disappearing into Thousand Geese City.

Tang Shouchang and Ning Baizheng both sensed the fluctuations caused by Chen Fei’s departure, but neither paid much attention to what Chen Fei was going to do.

With the Primordial Sword Sect taking control of Thousand Geese City, although it seemed that there was one less Mountain Sea Realm expert, in a certain sense, the strength of the sect seemed to have increased significantly. Tang Shouchang didn’t feel any regret over the deaths of Wu Renxu and Zhang Chaoyun. After all, he had opposed their actions in the Thousand Geese Mountains from the beginning, and even advised against them.

As for Ning Baizheng, he actually had a good relationship with Zhang Chaoyun and could be considered quite compatible.

But with Zhang Chaoyun dying at the hands of Chen Fei, Ning Baizheng hadn’t even thought about seeking revenge or anything of the sort.

Leaving aside the fact that Zhang Chaoyun was in the wrong in this matter, just Chen Fei’s display of overwhelming strength made it difficult for Ning Baizheng to entertain thoughts of revenge.

Otherwise, it might end up with him having to go down and have another heart-to-heart talk with Zhang Chaoyun.

In the sky, a transparent sword aura surrounded Chen Fei, breaking through all obstacles ahead.

Compared to when he was at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, Chen Fei’s flying speed had fundamentally improved now. Especially since he had already cultivated the Mountain Sea Realm Technique to great effect, he could now use the Mountain Sea Origin Power with ease.

Abeam of light emitted from Chen Fei’s forehead, adjusting his flight direction continuously with the help of his sensing of the Monster King’s essence blood.

In the boundless sea, there was a massive island with a diameter of over two hundred li.

On the island, many demon beasts could be seen, most of them with chicken heads, tortoise bodies, and snake tails, indicating that this was a place where a group of demon beasts lived.

Many coastal cities on the Middle Continent knew about this island because it was home to a Monster King.

The Monster King, Nie Li, revealed his massive true form, lying on the island. With Nie Li’s breath, the surrounding world’s spiritual energy violently fluctuated, continuously pouring into his demon body.

The battle over half a year ago had left Nie Li severely injured, even injuring his origin.

Normally, to recover from such injuries, it would take several years, or even more than a decade of rest. Recovery seemed impossible.

But sometimes luck comes, and nothing can stop it. A member of the clan discovered a Nirvana Fruit in the depths of the Boundless Sea and presented it to Nie Li.

Nie Li was overjoyed. After taking it, within a few days, most of his injuries had healed. Now, after such a long time had passed, not only had his injuries fully recovered, but even his demonic power had increased significantly.
