Chapter 240: The Fenggong Clan
"Heir, why did your cultivation end so quickly?"
As soon as he exited the closed-door meditation room, Xiang Cong cupped his hands in greeting, looking a bit puzzled.
"Feeling uneasy, it’s hard to cultivate in peace."
Yun Ye gazed up at the sky.
The stars twinkled like gems.
The nighttime was brilliant.
Yet, amidst this beautiful scene, Yun Ye sensed a hint of danger.
Though he wasn’t an expert in Spirit Law, he had studied the art of deduction, making it hard to miss obvious issues.
"Where is Qingrou?"
"She is in the Nurturing Heart Pavilion; it is the only place suitable for Spirit Law cultivation."
"Call her here."
Yun Ye could feel something was off; with Xiang Qingrou’s mastery of Spirit Law, she should understand something.
Xiang Cong obeyed and went to summon Xiang Qingrou.
Meanwhile, Yun Ye stayed behind and looked at the empty space beside him, "Are you not coming out?"
The space remained empty.
No response.
"Is this a trick, or can you truly see me?"
Fenggong Yuan regarded the young child before him with some surprise.
The child was already quite handsome, adorned with a Rain Drop Seal on his forehead, giving the impression of being extraordinary. Upon closer inspection, the child’s demeanor was calm and mature, not at all like that of a typical child, making him even more remarkable.
The child looked back at him with calmness, devoid of any emotion, yet flames ignited, scorching towards Fenggong Yuan.
Fenggong Yuan was taken aback. Could he really perceive his position?
A figure materialized. As the flames touched it, Fenggong Yuan lost the desire to remain hidden, revealing a hazy outline.
"You shouldn’t be able to sense me."
As the shadow took on color, a young man emerged from the flames, looking surprised at Yun Ye.
Dressed in green, the man had a design of a blue bird riding the wind embroidered on his attire, vividly real, as if it were about to take flight.
"The blue bird riding the wind pattern, the mark of the Fenggong Clan. For the sake of this insignia, I will answer your question… Why can’t I perceive you in my domain?"
Yun Ye replied.
"Domain?"
The green-clad man instinctively looked down, only to find that a multitude of spirit patterns had emerged beneath his feet, forming a closed formation.
He was astonished: "You know about formations?"
Though he could tell at a glance that the formation was quite crude, where did this five-year-old, Xiang Ying, get so much energy?
"Who are you is more important."
"I just dealt with a cultivator who claimed to be an enemy of the Qushuang Family. Are you the second?"
Yun Ye said.
"Hehe." The man in green chuckled, waving his hand casually, and his magical power made the formation shatter instantly.
"A law realm?" Yun Ye’s expression remained unchanged as he pressed his fingers together and waved through the air, unsealing the Rain Drop Seal on his forehead.
Gray mist began to drip down into Yun Ye’s ice-blue eyes.
In truth, his performance on the Heavenly Path showed that Yun Ye could perfectly control his Spiritual Eye. The inability to control it outside was just a facade to prevent the Xiang Family, especially Xiang Dong, from becoming overly concerned.
Once the Spiritual Eye activated, Fenggong Yuan felt a surge of alarm and sensed a life-threatening crisis.
"What are you doing? Stop! I was sent by Elder Qushuang to protect you!"
He couldn’t care about maintaining appearances anymore and shouted immediately.
But Yun Ye clearly had no intention of heeding his one-sided words. The gray mist surged forth, freezing everything as it spread across Fenggong Yuan’s body like an inescapable force.
"Ice Element? No, a normal Ice Element isn’t dangerous enough to alarm me… It’s a purer form, the Extreme Spirit Ice Element!"
Fenggong Yuan unleashed his magical power and raised a green barrier, engaging in a fierce clash with the gray mist.
Crack—
Cracks began to spread.
"Can’t hold on?"
Fenggong Yuan’s pupils dilated sharply; he was in a law realm!
The idea that a mere spiritual realm could threaten his life was utterly absurd, almost absurdity itself.
A mere spiritual realm, with only spirit energy—how could it overwhelm his magical power?
Moving from mortal to spirit was a leap over the essence of life.
No matter how many mortals there were, they all seemed like worthless things in front of a spiritual realm, swept away effortlessly.
Similarly, moving from spirit to law was a fundamental evolution.
Theoretically, any number of spiritual realms should be easily eliminated and pose no threat at all.
This had been the path explored by countless individuals over the years, a route capable of breaking through "boundaries."
Since it was a "boundary," it had to exceed even the strongest!
In Fenggong Yuan’s eyes, the notion of prodigies was completely irrational. Why did such heaven-defying individuals exist?
How could one easily surpass realms and the countless accumulations of generations?
"The Wind Palace Great Law! First turn, setting the Nine Palaces!"
Fenggong Yuan, frustrated in front of Yun Ye, naturally did not focus on how terrifying his power was.
He also didn’t notice how many people had been crushed by his strength and viewed him as a monster.
Fueled by anger, he unleashed his power, manifesting the Nine Palaces formation.
Using the wind law to manifest the Nine Palaces formation could confuse, strangle, and concentrate power in a way that was difficult to describe.
As soon as the green Nine Palaces formation appeared, it easily overwhelmed the gray stillness, creating a pure land within the gray.
"The Wind Element, Nine Palaces formation—surely, you must be from the Fenggong Family… Then, let’s skip the protective intentions; perhaps that is true, but it isn’t the main reason."
After forcing out his attack, Yun Ye chose not to continue but maintained the calm domain while speaking with Fenggong Yuan.
They communicated through Spirit Sense; their voices, even with spirit energy infused, would be destroyed by the intertwining powers.
"… "
Fenggong Yuan quickly regained his composure. This was the disciple of Elder Qushuang; their statuses were vastly different.
Becoming Elder Qushuang’s disciple nearly guaranteed a peerless standing.
Even his law realm, with Wind Spiritual Roots, was merely a worthless entity in front of a peerless being, something easily eliminated.
Offending Xiang Ying was certainly not a wise move!
"Xiang Ying is indeed impressive… I am Fenggong Yuan, the third generation bloodline of the peerless Fenggong Family, sent by Elder Qushuang to protect Xiang Ying. However, this protection is solely for Xiang Ying and does not involve the entire Xiang Family."
Fenggong Yuan sighed and said seriously, "What you feel isn’t an illusion; indeed, a significant event is about to happen, and it will likely have a broad impact, encompassing us all, which is why you’re feeling uneasy."
"A broad impact? What do you mean?" Yun Ye frowned, wondering if it referred to the entire Xiang Family or the whole Wenyun Town.
"I’m no expert in Spirit Law, and someone has blocked the heavenly secrets, so I can only sense that trouble is gradually approaching. To be honest, I suggest you leave Wenyun Town immediately and go to the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect. As long as you are in the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, you need not worry about your safety, and it can also deter all enemies. My purpose here is to escort you to the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect." Fenggong Yuan explained.
"The Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect is indeed the best choice. In that case, let’s report to the head of the family. Now that I have completed the Wenyun Ceremony, it’s time to head to broader horizons." Yun Ye’s expression shifted as he agreed.
"A wise decision. Once you’re ready, you can call for me." Fenggong Yuan said before vanishing.
In front of such a monster, he felt restless, wishing only to disappear.
