Chapter 997 The Guardian Appears
“Dad, he is Lin Feng, he’s the one who just saved me!”
Fire Miaomiao held Fire Cloud Evil God’s arm, her face pretty and her tone slightly coquettish.
As she spoke,
She winked at Lin Feng.
The Fire Clan princess who appeared cold and noble in front of others was so playful and adorable in front of her father.
Fire Cloud Evil God quietly looked at Lin Feng, his fiery eyes seeming to see through everything about Lin Feng, reaching directly into his heart.
Lin Feng felt shocked and didn’t know what to say!
At this moment,
Fire Miaomiao, seeing the atmosphere was a bit stiff, childishly said:
“Lin Feng, this is my dad! What do you think, isn’t my dad amazing?”
“Amazing!”
Lin Feng nodded,
This wasn’t flattery, but sincere acknowledgment!
Fire Cloud Evil God’s power was evident to him, and in his worldview, almost no one could defeat Fire Cloud Evil God.
“You’re not bad either!”
Fire Cloud Evil God spoke, showing his recognition of Lin Feng!
“You humans are actually quite impressive, throughout history, talents have emerged in every era, but unfortunately…”
“Unfortunately what?”
Lin Feng instinctively asked.
“Humans lack unity, you don’t have the cohesion a race should have… this is your human race’s greatest flaw, which is why I’ve always looked down on your kind!”
Fire Cloud Evil God said calmly.
Lin Feng remained silent upon hearing this,
It was a fact, nothing to argue about!
From the Beishanzhong in the Spirit Realm, to the mysterious black-robed man with the Nine Absolute Book just now, these were all spies and traitors he had witnessed with his own eyes!
And in the shadows?
How many more such figures existed?
“I can sense something inside you that craves my energy… as if it wants to devour me?”
Fire Cloud Evil God suddenly said such a thing,
Lin Feng felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard this,
The seven-colored figure deep in his sea of consciousness had indeed fluctuated slightly just now, but he didn’t expect Fire Cloud Evil God to sense it.
“No need to be overly nervous, throughout history, who among the unrivaled of their generation doesn’t have their own secrets? Your strength and talent are quite impressive…”
After pondering for a moment, Fire Cloud Evil God actually took out a fire-red crystal and handed it to Lin Feng.
“What is this?”
Lin Feng swallowed,
The fire-red crystal contained a large amount of pure fire essence, rarely seen in the mortal world, and the seven-colored figure inside him became excited because of it.
“A divine crystal nurtured by celestial spirit fire! I happened to obtain one when I was on the immortal path years ago…”
Fire Cloud Evil God said.
Lin Feng glanced at Fire Cloud Evil God but didn’t reach out to take it, knowing one must be extremely cautious when dealing with such figures!
“Take it, and with this, the karmic connection between you and my daughter ends!”
Fire Cloud Evil God said calmly.
“Dad, what nonsense are you saying?”
Fire Miaomiao, like a bristling kitten, said angrily.
“He is human, when the immortal path opens in the future, people like him will be among the first to die… I don’t want you to be too involved with him! Unless he abandons his human identity and joins our Fire God Clan!”
Fire Cloud Evil God said directly.
Fire Miaomiao was stunned.
Lin Feng also frowned.
A figure like Fire Cloud Evil God knew many inside secrets, and since he spoke this way, it definitely wasn’t groundless. So what exactly would happen after the immortal path opened?
“I know someone like you would never abandon your own race! So this divine crystal should be enough to repay the life-saving debt, right?”
Fire Cloud Evil God looked at Lin Feng calmly.
“It is enough!”
Lin Feng took the divine crystal, then glanced at Fire Miaomiao and nodded slightly.
“Goodbye!”
He turned and left without lingering!
There wasn’t much affection between them anyway, so let the karmic connection be severed.
But he did feel somewhat displeased, reminding him of the Yaoguang Holy Maiden from before.
“Lin Feng!”
Fire Miaomiao watched Lin Feng’s departing figure, stomping her feet anxiously. She wanted to chase after him, but was firmly held in place by her father.
Until Lin Feng’s silhouette completely disappeared into the horizon.
“What the heck!”
A tear welled up in Fire Miaomiao’s eyes,
She didn’t know why she was crying, just felt very sad in her heart.
“Let’s go back to our clan! Your brother is about to emerge too…”
Fire Cloud Evil God sighed inwardly seeing his daughter cry.
“I’m not going back! How could you say such things just now?”
Fire Miaomiao said angrily.
“I’m doing this for your own good. Too much contact with someone like him isn’t good for you!”
“One general’s success is built on ten thousand bones. If he rises to glory, those around him will die in his place, understand?”
Fire Cloud Evil God sighed.
“I’m not a child anymore, I want to make my own decisions!”
Fire Lingling angrily shook off her father’s hand and turned to chase after Lin Feng.
Fire Cloud Evil God didn’t leave, just silently watched his daughter go, finally letting out a deep sigh.
Meanwhile,
Lin Feng flew toward Yunchuan while playing with the divine crystal in his hand,
The crystal contained a large amount of fire essence, and if absorbed by the seven-colored figure, his strength would definitely improve again – an unexpected blessing!
Just then,
A gaunt figure appeared before him.
“Fellow Daoist, please wait!”
“Who are you?”
Lin Feng steadied himself, examining the white-bearded old man who suddenly appeared, feeling surprised!
Just from appearances,
This old man’s strength was no weaker than his own!
Most importantly, the white-bearded old man was human. To think there was such a formidable human powerhouse in the Great Xia territory.
“This poor Daoist is True Person Mingde, also the current Governor of Qingzhou! One of Great Xia’s Boundary Guardians…”
The old man introduced himself.
“Boundary Guardian?”
Lin Feng’s pupils contracted slightly.
This wasn’t the first time he’d heard this term, but he had never met one before. He didn’t expect a Boundary Guardian to actively seek him out.
“Fellow Daoist, you’re still young, it’s normal that there are many things you don’t understand. May we find a place where I can explain in detail?”
True Person Mingde said with a smile.
He had a kind, benevolent face, looking very peaceful, just like a neighborhood grandfather.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded:
“Alright!”
Soon after,
The two arrived at a beautiful place with birdsong and fragrant flowers, clear mountains and waters,
On a patch of grassland stood a thatched cottage, with simple tables and chairs placed in front.
“Please sit and have some tea. This is excellent Da Hong Pao, I picked it myself over a hundred years ago!”
True Person Mingde gestured for Lin Feng to sit down, picked up the teapot on the table, and smiled as he poured tea for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng didn’t suspect anything, picked up the teacup and drank. Then he put down the cup and asked directly:
“What does Governor mean? And what are Boundary Guardians?”
“Great Xia’s nine provinces correspond to nine dragon veins, each with a guardian, these guardians are called Governors! I am the Governor of Qingzhou…”
“As for Boundary Guardians, this is an organization voluntarily established by human leaders after the ancient catastrophe! The purpose is to resist the God Clans…”
True Person Mingde explained with a smile.
