Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying

Chapter 273: Chapter 267: The Hope of Leaving the City

“What? Yang Fu has been reelected as City Lord for another three years?”

From within the shadows, an uncontrollable angry voice arose.

Feng Xun knew the reason.

But… he didn’t say it.

The plotting within the clan this time was too significant… He, a Cultivator with a Heavenly Spirit Root, was merely one of the pieces, and only recently he had gotten wind of some of the plans.

“Feng Xun, he has already delayed our plans, we can’t wait another three years. We must start laying out the Array now… Yang Fu must be removed.”

“Uncle, don’t touch Yang Fu.”

“He is investigating what we are currently undertaking. Once discovered… do you realize what the Feng Family will have to face?”

“I will make Yang Fu leave Sunshine City, regardless of what we are planning to do.”

“You… sure?”

“Hmm.”

Feng Xun left the Array expressionlessly and then headed straight for the City Lord Mansion.

…

“Hey! Little Brother Feng has come! Quick, quick, quick, my feast to welcome you is just about to start. Let’s enjoy it together.”

Yang Fu took Feng Xun’s hand to enter the Mansion, and whispered slyly, “I’ve specially brought some fine Spiritual Wine from the Sect for you. I guarantee it’s more than enough and it’s also to celebrate your cultivation journey!”

“Erin has been in your care during this period.”

Feng Xun’s mission ended a month after Yang Fu’s. Once Yang Fu returned, it was time for Feng Xun to go back and report as well.

Speaking of which, when abroad, it is still the members from our own Sect whom we can trust.

The Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect had few regulations, being quite lenient because they accepted offerings from the Twelve Dynasties. The Sect was rich in resources, so the Outer Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples practically had no survival pressure, living a life akin to cranes among the clouds, all quite serene.

The relationship among older and younger disciples, including uncles and ancestors, was very good.

Yang genuinely treated Feng Xun as his Junior Brother. He felt that although Feng Xun was a bit too proud in his words, his heart was still very reliable.

Upon hearing Yang Fu’s words, Feng Xun’s somber face squeezed out a faint smile.

“Alright, Yang, today… I will not return until I’m drunk.”

“No problem, Little Brother Feng!”

After rounds of toasts and cheers, it was deep into the night.

Everyone else had left, with only Yang Fu and Feng Xun still drinking.

The two were drinking a jar of Third Grade Spiritual Wine—Flowing Light Moon Shadow.

A wondrous kind of Spiritual Wine, not to mention its essence comparable to an Elixir, just the gustatory delight alone was unparalleled.

Even for the brilliant Feng Xun, it was his first time tasting such high-level Spiritual Wine.

This jar of Third Grade Spiritual Wine cost 10 Mid Grade Spirit Stones.

Equivalent to a top-quality Third Grade Elixir, Feng Xun ordinarily wouldn’t splurge on such a drink.

Today, he didn’t hold back, drinking glass after glass.

“Little Brother Feng, you have something to tell me, right?” Yang Fu spoke up.

The black clouds in the sky shifted with the wind, obscuring the moonlight, and the night suddenly grew darker.

Feng Xun put down his wine glass, looking at the few rooms within the City Lord Mansion that were still lit.

“You want to take her away from here, don’t you?”

Yang Fu’s heart stirred.

“Do you have a way?”

Feng Xun nodded.

“Speak quickly, Brother Feng!”

“But I need you to exchange something with me…”

“What is it?”

“Your position as City Lord.”

Upon hearing this, a look of puzzlement appeared on Yang Fu’s face, but before he could ask, Feng Xun impatiently added:

“No need to ask why, will you exchange or not?”

“The exchange… is possible, but only the Token given to me by the Sect can activate the ‘Five Elements Demon Suppressing Array’. Without a Sect’s Token, mine won’t be of any use to you. How can you be the City Lord?”

“I have my own measures. If you want to exchange, then tomorrow… this time, bring Erin to the East City Gate, I’ll be waiting for you there. After you leave, do not come back.”

Yang Fu looked at Feng Xun with surprise. He hadn’t expected Feng Xun to resolve such a difficult problem so quickly; it seemed as if sending Erin out was effortless.

Feng Xun had a look that said he wouldn’t explain anything, and Yang Fu’s questions were to no avail.

“Alright, it’s settled then.”

Yang Fu agreed.

After all, he had served as the City Lord for three more years just for Erin’s sake. If Feng Xun could help him, what was the City Lord’s position to him?

He might have hesitations about other people, but Feng Xun… had been certified by Erin as a good Cultivator.

Those little Goblins, as well as other lower-tier members of the Demon Clan, had all received help from Feng Xun secretly.

The acts of Feng Xun had also avoided the watchful gaze of the Evil Eye; Yang Fu was sure… Feng Xun was a good Cultivator.

He had already set Sunshine City off to a good start. If Feng Xun continued with the implementation, the city would prosper in three years.

As for what he wanted to do…

Yang Fu thought about it a lot, but in the end, shook his head, giving up all predictions.

“Forget it, Feng Xun has his own judgement.”

When Erin learned that she would leave Sunshine City the next night, she was overjoyed.

“Senior, is it… really true? Can I… really leave here?”

“Yes, a friend of mine has a way. You can have a good look at the Spirit Miao Continent. Later, you will travel the world with me.”

“Ah! Senior, you’re so good to me! I’m the first Enchanting Demon from this city to go out…”

Erin jumped onto Yang Fu, hugging him tightly, sobbing with tears twinkling in the corners of her eyes.

If not suppressed, which member of the Demon Clan would be willing to stay trapped in Sunshine City for a lifetime?

Erin was born in Sunshine City as an Enchanting Demon, never stepping a foot outside the city. Having heard so many stories about the outside world from Yang Fu, she longed for the wonderful life of wandering the world.

“I promised you…”

Yang Fu stroked Erin’s black hair, feeling her soft body like water, as if she wanted to merge into him.

The life that was gently stirring inside her was Yang Fu’s own flesh and blood.

‘For this child… I must take Erin away.’

Yang Fu didn’t want his child to live only in this city.

“Huh? Feng Xun has that ability? How can I not see it?”

After sending the short video and making sure the Night Beans were listed, Yang Genshuo left the rest to Guo Xiaozhi; he had nothing else to do, so his focus returned to the game.

Yang Fu, who was outside, was his greatest concern.

Especially since he had just said he couldn’t take Erin out, only to be contradicted by a little Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator upon his return.

“No, you have a Heavenly Spirit Root, but that’s impossible, let me check again…”

Yang Genshuo opened Feng Xun’s Character Card.

After a look, there wasn’t much difference from before, no words like “Array Master” or “Nascent Soul Stage.” He compared it with the previous “Feng Xun Character Card” record, which was from two years ago in the game.

After comparing, he found two differences.

The first was his advancement from “Foundation Establishment First Level” to “Foundation Establishment Second Level.”

That was to be expected; after all, as a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator, quick progression was normal.

The second was an additional Cultivation Technique for Feng Xun.

“Joyful Union Demon Fusion Technique: After Cultivation, a Human Clan Cultivator can use this technique while uniting with a Demon Clan member, whereby Yin and Yang converge in harmony, Spiritual Power and Magic Power fuse, reaching the pinnacle together, promoting strength growth for both sides.”

“Huh? Isn’t this technique exclusively for Fried Demon practice?”

“How did Feng Xun suddenly learn this?”

“There wasn’t such a thing in Sunshine City before…”

“But this technique has nothing to do with leaving the city, there must be other means.”
