Chapter 1229 - 1226: Victory Feast, Grudge in the Heart

Roar...

The group walked far away, yet they could still hear the beastly roars coming from behind, making their hearts race with fear.

All the Martial Artists who narrowly escaped death showed a change in color.

From their accounts, Luo Feng learned what had happened.

These Martial Artists were aboard the Dragon Boat, the last ship to leave Group Dragon Island.

Because the Dragon Boats ahead attracted too many Demon Beasts along the way, when they passed here, they encountered a large group of Demon Beasts attacking, and the massive waves directly capsized the Dragon Boat.

In the end, the entire ship fell apart.

Except for a few True Yuan Realm Martial Artists and top Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artists who used Qinggong to escape, others knew that leaving in this environment meant certain death, so they could only rely on the ship’s wreckage, holding on desperately until Luo Feng and others appeared.

"The ocean is truly dangerous..."

Upon hearing these news, Luo Feng took a deep breath. A Dragon Boat could carry tens of thousands of people, yet less than a hundred were rescued, tens of thousands perished in the sea.

Su Zhuyun, standing nearby, said:

"That’s to be expected. Across the True Martial Continent, aside from a few deadly locations, the most dangerous place is nothing but the endless ocean. The dangers hidden in the ocean are countless, some deep-sea Demon Beasts can easily destroy a dynasty. Yet, the ocean is also home to endless treasures and Secret Realms, so despite the danger, there are still those who venture into the ocean for training."

Luo Feng nodded, recalling clearly the scene in Azure Sky City where the Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle swallowed Azure Cloud Marquis, a True Yuan Realm Martial Artist, in one bite.

Su Zhuyun seemed about to say something when Daimei suddenly furrowed her brows slightly, her gaze turning to look towards the other side of the crowd.

"Senior Sister, what’s the matter?" Jiang Fengfeng asked curiously.

"Nothing."

Su Zhuyun shook her head, retracting her gaze, yet a trace of doubt remained in her eyes.

Within the crowd, an elderly man with a hunchback lowered his eyelids, his small eyes carefully scrutinizing Su Zhuyun with a glance, secretly sighing with relief: such keen observation, this woman is not simple. I have hidden my murderous intent, yet she can still catch my gaze, a dangerous character.

The old man was none other than Leng Feifan’s master, Blood Crow Elder of the Blood Flower Tower!

He had not left Group Dragon Island, but stayed hidden in the shadows observing Luo Feng, looking for a chance to strike and kill him.

The presence of Su Zhuyun and Jiang Fengfeng constantly by Luo Feng’s side made him feel quite tricky.

"It seems killing this kid will take some effort, but I have patience..."

Shooting a glance at Luo Feng, a cold glint flickered in Blood Crow Elder’s eyes before he closed them.

These two women seem extraordinary, surely they won’t stick with Luo Feng forever. Once they separate, there should be plenty of opportunities to kill Luo Feng.

A few hours later, dawn was breaking in the eastern sky, the mountain peak began emerging from the clouds, slowing its pace.

"We’ve arrived at Sky Water Port!"

"Finally back."

"Haha... escaping from death this time, surely there’ll be blessings ahead."

The mountain peak erupted with cheers, the joyful mood spreading like a tide.

Luo Feng looked down, and Sky Water Port had completely changed its appearance.

The bays and nearby port cities had all vanished without a trace, everywhere was a vast expanse, with only a few majestic mountain peaks sitting isolated on the water, ships bobbing up and down in the waves, transformed into a world of water.

Bang!

The mountain peak split the air, landing on a cliff, and Yuangang Hall Master Tu Wanshan sat down to adjust his breathing.

Maneuvering the mountain peak in flight is extremely exhausting, especially in such harsh conditions, far more difficult than usual, and even Tu Wanshan, a Martial Artist in the early stage of Yuan Sea Realm, was reaching his limit.

Swoosh!

Shui Qingcheng appeared above the mountain peak, and immediately, the clamor quieted down.

"This tsunami was so immense, surely countless people were displaced, families broken and people dead, the coastal cities will certainly face threats from Demon Beasts, helping the weak and combating the strong is the Martial Artist’s duty."

Shui Qingcheng’s voice, as melodious and clear as jade, reached everyone’s ears and drew their attention.

"All disciples of Golden Palace heed the command! Those injured, treat your wounds on site. The rest, go to the various cities, slay the Demon Beasts, resolve this crisis. The path of Martial Arts is filled with thorns, once on this road, you must have the courage and determination to disregard life and death, only then can you achieve great accomplishments and pursue the pinnacle of Martial Arts. This crisis is also your chance for training, those who contribute can redeem their rewards at Golden Palace using the materials from the slain Demon Beasts." Shui Qingcheng said.

"Yes!"

"The nearest city is White Water City, Junior Sister, let’s head there."

"We’ll go to Yunlian City."

"Senior Brother Han, wait for me."

As soon as Shui Qingcheng’s words fell, the presence of the Golden Palace disciples surged, these people were the elite of Golden Palace’s disciples, naturally unwilling to be left behind, figures soared into the sky, like fireworks, shooting in all directions.

At this moment, Luo Feng found Shui Linglong.

"Sister Linglong, I’ll need a few days before returning to Golden Palace," Luo Feng said.

"Oh?"

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows and asked, "Where are you planning to go?"

"I plan to return to Panlong City to lift the seal on the Yuan Spirit Vein. Then I’ll attend to some personal matters."

Shui Linglong nodded slightly, "You’ve been practicing at Golden Palace and have stepped into the True Yuan Realm; the small Yuan Spirit Vein is of little use to you now. However, this small Yuan Spirit Vein could help your family flourish. Lifting the seal on the Yuan Spirit Vein is indeed a matter that cannot be delayed. But you must return quickly; on June fifteenth, Golden Palace will host a celebratory feast for you. Missing the main character wouldn’t do."

"Celebratory feast?"

Luo Feng was unaware of this event.

Yang Wanyi was nearby and explained with a smile, "The tradition of holding a celebration banquet for the first new dragon has always existed. This banquet is not solely for celebration; it is a grand event for the young generations from the north and south to compete against each other. Last year, the celebration was held in the Six Northern Domains, this year it’s our turn in the Six Southern Domains. At that time, elite disciples from the twelve Golden Palaces of both north and south will participate. You will represent our Six Southern Domains to challenge the number one from the Six Northern Domains."

"I see."

Luo Feng nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "There are more than half a month left until June 15th, I should be able to make it back."

"Not should, you must make it back."

Shui Linglong glared with her beautiful eyes, "This event is of great significance. If you don’t appear, both you and I will lose face."

Luo Feng smiled bitterly, "I will definitely return before June 15th."

He only had two tasks to accomplish.

One was to take the small Yuan Spirit Vein back to Panlong City to prosper the family; the other was to resolve the vendetta with the Crown Prince.

With more than twenty days, it was tight, but should be sufficient.

"That sounds better."

Shui Linglong gave a faint smile and said, "Alright, you should head out now. Yang Wanyi, you head to Xilin City for a trip, it’s close to Luoyan River and might be affected by the tsunami. Also, it’s not far from Dayang City, you can visit home on the way."

"Yes."

Yang Wanyi nodded and turned away with Luo Feng.

"Husband, take care on your journey," Yang Wanyi said as they walked a distance apart. Xilin City is in the opposite direction of Panlong City.

Luo Feng nodded, "You take care too. Give my regards to your father."

Yang Wanyi’s face revealed a coquettish smile, "It’s better if you go to Dayang City yourself, my father always thinks about his precious son-in-law. I don’t know how happy he will be when he learns you’ve become the first new dragon."

Luo Feng smiled helplessly, "I’ll go if I have the chance."

"Giggle, I’m off then. Give my regards to Uncle and Aunt."

Before her voice had faded, Yang Wanyi’s figure had already darted into the clouds and quickly disappeared.

Watching Yang Wanyi leave, Luo Feng walked toward the edge of the platform, where Yue Haitang, Su Zhuyun, and Jiang Fengfeng were already waiting.

"Are you heading back to Panlong City?"

Hearing that Luo Feng intended to travel to Panlong City alone, Jiang Fengfeng immediately raised her brows, "That’s not possible, what if you run off with the Sword Heart Heaven Jade?"

Yue Haitang frowned and said, "Luo Feng would not do such a thing."

"That’s not certain."

Faced with Yue Haitang, Jiang Fengfeng spoke in a lowered tone, "He might not have known the value of the Sword Heart Heaven Jade before and wouldn’t do it. Now that he knows, he might be tempted by wealth."

Luo Feng glanced at Jiang Fengfeng and said lightly, "If you worry I might be tempted by wealth, why not send someone to follow me?"

"Then I..."

Su Zhuyun was just about to speak when Jiang Fengfeng leaped beside Luo Feng, "Senior Sister, you follow Young Master Haitang. I’ll keep an eye on him, I doubt he’ll dare to act up in front of me."

For some reason, the thought of being alone with Yue Haitang made Jiang Fengfeng inexplicably nervous. Comparatively, she preferred being with Luo Feng.

Luo Feng didn’t pay attention to Jiang Fengfeng and said to Yue Haitang, "Haitang, let’s part ways here. After the celebration banquet, we’ll set off for the Sword Tomb."

"Alright. Be careful."

Yue Haitang nodded and turned his gaze to Jiang Fengfeng, "Jiang Fengfeng, let me warn you. If you make a move on Luo Feng, I won’t let you get away with it."

"As long as he doesn’t act recklessly, I won’t bother with him," Jiang Fengfeng bit her lower lip, her tone unusually softened.

Luo Feng looked at Jiang Fengfeng with some surprise. Her tone was rare, he raised his head, smiled at Yue Haitang, and said, "Haitang, you are indeed impressive."

"What’s wrong?" Yue Haitang asked curiously at this sudden compliment.

"Nothing."

Luo Feng smiled, shook his head, bowed, and said, "Farewell."

After speaking, Luo Feng performed the Sky Cloud Step, turning toward the south without looking back.

"Senior Sister, I’m off!"

Worried about losing track of Luo Feng, Jiang Fengfeng immediately displayed her Qinggong to pursue him.

"Young Master Haitang, no need to worry. Although Fengfeng’s character is a bit unruly, she knows right from wrong." Su Zhuyun said.

Yue Haitang nodded, "Let’s go too."

"Hehe, heaven helps me! Luo Feng, you’re doomed!"

Seeing Luo Feng and the others parting ways, Blood Crow Elder’s eyes flashed a cold light, transforming into a blood shadow as he silently pursued the direction Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng left.

On the mountain peak, Gu Xifeng withdrew his gaze and said to Shui Linglong beside him:

"Blood Crow Elder has gone after Luo Feng, seems he wants revenge for Leng Feifan."

"Blood Crow Elder!"

Shui Linglong’s expression changed, she had heard of this person long ago.

Blood Crow Elder is one of the elders of Blood Flower Tower, a fifth-level True Yuan Realm Martial Artist, notorious for killing, and his methods were extremely unpredictable. Many famed True Yuan Realm experts in the rtiad died at his hands, including some whose cultivation was above his.

"Gu Xifeng, since you saw it, why didn’t you stop him? Do you hold a grudge against Luo Feng for losing the bet?"

Shui Linglong looked towards Gu Xifeng, her tone turning colder.
