Chapter 643: Chapter 643: Encounter with Baili Yufeng Chapter 643: Chapter 643: Encounter with Baili Yufeng “Brother Feng, can you sense it?”
Deep within the Northern Boundary Abyss, Feng Wuchen had already been intently sensing for several minutes when Liu Qingyang couldn’t help but ask.
Feng Wuchen slowly opened his eyes and shook his head, “I can’t sense anything.”
Feng Wuchen was now at the peak of the Seventh Level of the Heavenly Human Realm, allowing his sensing range to cover tens of thousands of meters, yet he could detect nothing.
“Could it be there’s nothing there?” Liu Qingyang said with a wry smile.
“Brother Feng, let’s try somewhere else,” Ling Xiaoxiao suggested.
The Northern Boundary Abyss was vast and trying just once was definitely not enough to conclude anything.
The treasure must be right at the center, possibly in some remote area.
Feng Wuchen nodded, having tried only once, he naturally wouldn’t give up.
Having come this far, he must turn the entire Northern Boundary Abyss upside down before resting.
Just as Feng Wuchen and the others were about to move to another location, Feng Wuchen’s brow suddenly furrowed, and his gaze swept towards a mountain peak not far to the left, as he coldly shouted, “Who’s there?”
Ling Xiaoxiao and Liu Qingyang’s expressions immediately turned grave.
“Clever boy, not too shabby to have noticed my presence!” came a surprised voice from the mountain peak Feng Wuchen was looking at.
The moment the words were spoken, a figure flashed into view.
“Tianji Realm Eightfold!” Feng Wuchen frowned deeply, instantly recognizing the man’s terrifying cultivation level.
“To think such a powerful being exists in the Northern Boundary Abyss!” Nangong Zhan remarked with a frown, his face filled with solemnity.
If it weren’t for Feng Wuchen having detected it, they wouldn’t have noticed that there was a strong presence lurking in the dark.
The newcomer was none other than Pang Xuhuai from the Evil Tribe.
“Brother Feng, he’s from the Evil Tribe!” Ling Xiaoxiao frowned, her pretty face turning icy cold.
“His aura is the same as that man from last time!” Bei Dou Yan affirmed.
Miao Qingqing slightly furrowed her brows and said, “Why would the Evil Tribe be here? Could their goal be the same as ours?”
“Very likely,” Liu Qingyang nodded slightly.
“So, it’s the Sky Shadow Saintess, no wonder you know I’m from the Evil Tribe,” Pang Xuhuai sneered slightly, his face’s evil smile making one extremely uncomfortable.
With his arms crossed over his chest, Pang Xuhuai sneered, “Sky Shadow Saintess, in consideration of your face, I’ll spare your lives, but I do hope you’ll leave this place at once.”
Pang Xuhuai was very clear about how dreadful the identity of Ling Xiaoxiao was, even if it was just her alone, he wouldn’t dare to offend her lightly.
“This is the Northern Boundary Abyss, not the territory of the Evil Tribe, where do you think you’re entitled to tell me where I can go?” Ling Xiaoxiao answered coldly.
Hearing this, Pang Xuhuai’s expression darkened slightly as he said, “Sky Shadow Saintess, the respect I’m showing you is due to fear of the power behind you, not because I’m afraid of you. If you don’t leave, I have my ways of dealing with you. You know this is the Northern Boundary Abyss; if I kill you here, who would know?”
“Then you can try!” Ling Xiaoxiao retorted fearlessly, a trace of a cold smile emerging.
Pang Xuhuai sneered, “Sky Shadow Saintess, I’ve already heard about the incident in the Yanhuang Tago Desert. If you don’t leave, I’d be glad to take credit for dealing with you. I’m not as foolish as Fu Yang, the clan leader, and I have already guessed your identities. You, boy, must be Feng Wuchen who made Fu Yang eat humble pie.”
“If you weren’t foolish, you wouldn’t have shown yourself,” Feng Wuchen replied indifferently.
“Brat, if it weren’t for the Sky Shadow Saintess’s divine spiritual barrier, killing you would be as simple as squashing an ant,” Pang Xuhuai said, his face disdainfully sweeping over Feng Wuchen.
“If Brother Feng’s cultivation could reach the Fifth Level of the Tianji Realm, killing you would be just as easy, without needing the Eightfold strength of the Tianji Realm!” Ling Xiaoxiao responded forcefully.
No sooner had Ling Xiaoxiao’s voice faded than an extremely surprised voice suddenly rang out, followed by a figure appearing out of thin air.
“There’s someone else!” Yi Tianqing frowned.
“An Evil Tribe member?” Nangong Zhan frowned deeply.
“I don’t know, this person is very well hidden, and I can’t discern his cultivation level,” Bei Dou Yan slightly shook his head, but one thing was certain, this person was terrifyingly powerful.
The newcomer was none other than Baili Yufeng!
Feng Wuchen observed Baili Yufeng, a face unacquainted, then said, “Tianji Realm, Seventh Level.”
“Tianji Realm, Seventh Level!” Liu Qingyang exclaimed in shock, finding it somewhat inconceivable. Baili Yufeng was at most only a few years older than them, and yet his cultivation was so formidable.
“Young Master Baili, you know him too?” Pang Xuhuai asked, slightly surprised as he looked towards Baili Yufeng.
Baili Yufeng did not answer, his gaze sizing up Feng Wuchen as if he found him extremely interesting.
Baili Yufeng’s disregard made Pang Xuhuai feel quite disrespected, his face suddenly darkened, fists clenched slightly, but he dared not lash out and could only hold it in.
Still, Pang Xuhuai’s address to Baili Yufeng could not help but make Feng Wuchen and the others frown slightly.
“Hall Master, be careful, they are together!” Yi Tianqing murmured.
“This Young Master Baili should be even stronger,” Liu Qingyang said seriously.
Feng Wuchen did not speak, as the two men appeared in the Northern Boundary Abyss, he seemed to have guessed something.
“Are you Baili Clan’s eldest young master, Baili Yufeng?” Ling Xiaoxiao asked uncertainly, her pretty face showing some surprise.
“Tian Yao Holy Maiden, we have met once,” Baili Yufeng nodded slightly.
“Sorry, I might have a bad memory,” Ling Xiaoxiao said with slight embarrassment.
Looking at Feng Wuchen again, Baili Yufeng asked, “Are you Feng Wuchen, a student from Tianyan Academy of the Yan Fire Empire?”
“You know me?” Feng Wuchen looked at Baili Yufeng in surprise, certain that he had never met Baili Yufeng before.
Before Baili Yufeng could speak, Pang Xuhuai said with a stern face, “Young Master Baili, don’t forget the purpose of our coming to the Northern Boundary Abyss.”
“This has nothing to do with you, scram!” Baili Yufeng said coldly, the tone completely commanding, his expression turning icy in an instant.
“You!” Pang Xuhuai was furious, not expecting Baili Yufeng to disrespect him so blatantly, anger almost making his lungs explode.
“Hm?” Baili Yufeng’s fierce gaze swept over Pang Xuhuai, the killing intent flashing by and then gone.
“Damn it! To speak to me with that tone! Baili Yufeng! I will definitely not let you off!” Pang Xuhuai’s heart burned with rage, but still, he managed to restrain himself, and finally, he left with a flash.
After Pang Xuhuai had left, Baili Yufeng said, “Don’t misunderstand, he and I are merely partners.”
A faint smile appeared on his face as Baili Yufeng said, “I know you because my brother was defeated by you.”
“Defeated by me?” Feng Wuchen was first taken aback, then as if remembering something, asked in surprise, “The Sky Shadow of Tianyan Academy, could it be your brother?”
“Sky Shadow?” Liu Qingyang and the others were puzzled.
“Yes,” Baili Yufeng nodded.
“No wonder he has such astonishing talent,” Feng Wuchen said with a slight smile, but what puzzled him was why the Baili Clan would send Sky Shadow to Tianyan Academy. Wouldn’t it be better for him to cultivate at home? Or even better, to be sent to Holy Soul Academy?
