Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Blood Jade Bodhi
Mo Ling’er’s fierce gaze was fixed on Ling Xiaoxiao. The insults from Ling Xiaoxiao had filled Mo Ling’er’s heart with resentment.
Mo Ling’er was jealous of Ling Xiaoxiao’s beauty and talent, and she loathed the fact that Ling Xiaoxiao was together with Feng Wuchen.
“Ling Xiaoxiao, the more you insult me, the deeper my hatred for you grows! Sooner or later, I will make your life worse than death!” Mo Ling’er thought viciously.
Her cold gaze then swept towards Feng Wuchen. Mo Ling’er said icily, “Feng Wuchen, you’ve ruined everything for me. I will make sure you regret it!”
After speaking, Mo Ling’er turned and left, carrying her grief and hatred away from the Feng family.
Watching Mo Ling’er’s retreating figure, Miao Qingqing expressed her concern, “Big brother Feng, a woman’s resentment runs deep. Aren’t you worried at all?”
“She has been completely blinded by vanity. If she doesn’t reflect on her actions, all that awaits her is an abyss,” Ling Xiaoxiao shook her head.
Feng Wuchen also shook his head in disappointment but said nothing.
The Mo Ling’er who left the Feng family seemed like a changed person, her eyes full of hatred and her body radiating a bone-chilling coldness.
The great battle was over, and the Yang and Mo families were doomed to decline. The news of their annihilation had already spread throughout Unmatched City.
After the Feng family had been completely cleared, the celebration of Feng Zhengxiong’s longevity continued.
Feng Zhengxiong was extremely grateful for the smaller powers in Yunzhou that came to pay their respects and assisted the Feng family.
Mu Tianyun and other strong practitioners from various powers in Yunzhou took turns toasting to Feng Zhengxiong, with various gifts piling up in the hall.
Among the many gifts, the one from Ling Xiaoxiao was the most valuable—a miraculous heaven-and-earth treasure known as Blood Jade Bodhi, which directly helped Feng Zhengxiong to step into the Second Layer of the Transformative Realm.
All the attendees were greatly shocked. Ling Xiaoxiao’s mysterious origins made everyone curious and wary.
…
At the Huangfu family.
The seriously injured Huangfu Yunzhong was still furious, his mind filled with the image of Huangfu Qing being killed by Feng Wuchen. The terrifying killing intent and anger frightened the entire Huangfu family into panic.
With so many strong practitioners going out and only Huangfu Yunzhong returning alone, and moreover, being saved by Huangfu Tianba, they could guess that the others were all dead.
This included the Huangfu family’s second young master, Huangfu Qing. Otherwise, Huangfu Yunzhong wouldn’t be so enraged.
It had to be said that the Huangfu family had deep roots; although more than a dozen strong practitioners died, it hardly weakened their combat strength.
The power of the Huangfu family was enough to stand on equal footing with the Ye family from the Imperial Capital.
“We were still one step too late, otherwise Qing’er wouldn’t have died,” Huangfu Tianba said in a deep voice, his face looking exceedingly grim.
Huangfu Tianba had not expected Feng Wuchen to be the Grand Commander of the Empire, nor had he anticipated that strong practitioners from various powers in Yunzhou would come to assist the Feng family.
“Old Family Head, Feng Wuchen is not simple,” one of the elders said solemnly: “According to what was known a year ago, Feng Wuchen was nothing more than a Second Grade Martial Soul waste. Then, for some reason, his cultivation speed suddenly became extremely terrifying. After one year, he has become a Thought-Forming Instrumentation Master known as ‘Great Master Feng,’ was also named Grand Commander by the emperor, and he himself is a Third-grade Alchemist. His soul power is even stronger and more fearsome than that of the elder, and he has changed so terribly in just one year?”
Another elder nodded, “It’s impossible in just one year.”
No matter how high one’s talent might be, they didn’t believe someone could improve their cultivation level so rapidly in just one year, while also enhancing their Artifact Refining and Alchemy realms.
Not to mention how frighteningly fast Feng Wuchen’s cultivation level increased—a feat that many geniuses on the Mainland could pull off—but the realms of Alchemy and Artifact Refining were much more difficult to advance than the cultivation realm itself. No matter how talented one was, becoming a Third-grade Alchemist and a Fifth-grade Artifact Refiner in one year was impossible!
Let alone one year, even several decades seemed unlikely.
Huangfu Tianba’s face grew stern as he said in a deep voice, “Unless Feng Wuchen has a fearsome strong practitioner behind him or has encountered some fortuitous adventure.”
But as for what kind of strong practitioner that might be, Huangfu Tianba dared not even speculate. He would rather believe that Feng Wuchen had stumbled upon some adventure.
If Feng Wuchen really did have a terrifying strong practitioner backing him, how frightening could that be?
“Old Family Head, with Feng Wuchen being the Grand Commander of the Empire, if we want to kill him, I’m afraid the Empire will not agree,” an elder said with a frown.
“Qing’er and the elder did not die in vain! No matter what identity Feng Wuchen holds, he must die!” Huangfu Tianba said coldly, a barely noticeable chilling killing intent flashing in his aged eyes.
Feng Wuchen’s cultivation speed was too terrifying; if he was left unchecked for a few more years, not only the Huangfu family, but even Tianyun Sect might be unable to do anything about him.
“Send word to Tianyun Sect immediately to inform Zhantian. No matter how strong the Empire is, in the end, they would not dare to go to war with Tianyun Sect!” Huangfu Tianba ordered. Only with Tianyun Sect’s help could they resist the Empire.
Huangfu Zhantian was undeniably the most crucial figure.
…
After the longevity banquet concluded, strong practitioners from various powers in Yunzhou, including Mu Tianyun, all departed one after another.
After Huanyang handed over a token to Feng Wuchen, he returned to the Imperial Capital with Luan Shen leading the elite soldiers.
After Zhenyuntian reminded Feng Wuchen about returning to the academy in seven days, he also rode the Red-blood Bird back to the academy.
The lively Feng family instantly became much quieter.
“Chen Er, tell me honestly, who exactly is your master?” Feng Zhengxiong was the first to ask in the hall, as everyone’s gaze fell on Feng Wuchen.
Feng Wuchen’s growth over a single year was terrifying. With him being a Third-grade Alchemist and a ‘Thought-Forming Instrumentation’ Master Feng, they were all very curious. What kind of powerful figure could have nurtured Feng Wuchen to be so fearsome?
“Father, my master said that we must not reveal his identity,” Feng Wuchen pretended to be in a dilemma, as if he wanted to speak but could not.
Feng Zhengxiong anxiously said, “Then what do we do? Our Feng family has to properly thank your master, right?”
“Father, instead of worrying about this, everyone might as well focus on cultivating. The Huangfu family won’t let things rest, and we don’t even know if the Tianyun Sect will get involved,” Feng Wuchen said with a wry smile.
Hearing this, Feng Zhengxiong frowned slightly and nodded gravely, starting to worry as well.
The Huangfu family had lost so many powerhouses, and most importantly, Huangfu Qing was killed. They would definitely not take this lying down. Moreover, Huangfu Qing was a Tianyun Sect disciple; the sect might not sit by idly this time.
“The strong forces from various powers in Yunzhou have already left. If the Huangfu family takes the opportunity to make a move, we will have no chance of winning,” Feng Qianyang said with a grave expression.
Feng Wuchen solemnly said, “I’m not worried about the Huangfu family. The academy’s Grand Elder will not stand by and do nothing. It’s the Tianyun Sect that concerns me.”
The frightening strength displayed by Feng Wuchen and his profound background were all seen by Zhenyuntian. As long as he wasn’t foolish, he would not overlook this matter.
“Chen Er, if the Tianyun Sect gets involved, will the Empire come to our aid?” Xiao Qingqing asked worriedly.
Feng Wuchen shook his head, saying, “I don’t know.”
Although Feng Wuchen held the title of Grand Commander in the Empire, he had never met the Emperor; he had only seen the State Preceptor and a prince.
The Empire was ultimately ruled by the Emperor. If the Emperor did not come to their aid, the State Preceptor and the prince alone would be powerless.
The conversation didn’t last long before everyone went back to their training.
“Xiao Xiao, do you still have that Blood Jade Bodhi?” On the way back to his room, Feng Wuchen asked, his mind always on that treasure.
Previously, watching Feng Zhengxiong step into the Second Layer of the Yuandan Realm so swiftly had made many people envious.
“I knew Brother Feng would ask, so I’ve prepared one for you as well!” Ling Xiaoxiao said with a playful smile, and with a flip of her hand, a Blood Jade Bodhi appeared out of nowhere.
The Blood Jade Bodhi was dark red and, on the surface, looked like an ordinary gem with nothing special about it. However, it contained incredibly pure energy that could be absorbed directly without the need for refining.
After receiving the Blood Jade Bodhi, Feng Wuchen asked, “Xiao Xiao, where did you get the Blood Jade Bodhi from?”
“The Grand Elder gave it to me,” Ling Xiaoxiao said with a light laugh.
Feng Wuchen calmly said, “Blood Jade Bodhi comes with different years of age. The older it is, the more potent the power it contains. This one seems to be of twenty years, and the one father took was about the same.”
After a pause, Feng Wuchen continued, “This treasure is a rare find. It’s cultivated from the tears of a Ninth Order Ice Flame Serpent. If it comes from many years, the power it holds is tremendously vast, so much so that it can assist even those in the Heavenly Human Realm to improve their cultivation.”
“Brother Feng sure knows a lot, even about the Ice Flame Serpent,” Ling Xiaoxiao said with a sweet smile.
“If there’s a chance, I’ll visit the beast mountains on the Mainland. The more of these treasures we have, the better,” Feng Wuchen said with a smile, looking at Ling Xiaoxiao, and then added, “With the Grand Elder in possession of such a treasure, it suffices to say that the power behind you is quite formidable.”
Ling Xiaoxiao laughed cheerfully, “If Brother Feng goes to the Mainland, Xiao Xiao will accompany you to the Sacred Beast Mountain!”
“A Ninth Order magical beast is equivalent to a Divine Transformation Realm powerhouse among humans with the divine skill to overturn rivers and seas, and the power to destroy heaven and earth. The power behind Xiao Xiao must indeed be terrifying,” Feng Wuchen thought to himself.
Back in his room, Feng Wuchen did not rush to ingest the Blood Jade Bodhi but continued to cultivate with the Tongxuan Pill.
Feng Wuchen’s current level of cultivation had nearly reached the threshold of the Yuandan Realm. Using the Blood Jade Bodhi at this time would be too wasteful.
As Feng Wuchen cultivated, the news of the Huangfu family being hunted down and that the third young master of the Feng family was the Grand Commander of the Empire had already spread from Unmatched City.
The surrounding cities and various powers near Unmatched City were shocked beyond belief, and many families and forces near Unmatched City rushed to the Feng family in Unmatched City the very next day.
“Over a dozen Huangfu family powerhouses were killed! They say it was done by powerhouses from various forces in Yunzhou; even the Sect Master of Xuantian Sect was there!”
“The second young master of the Huangfu family was also killed! And it was by the Grand Commander. Since Huangfu Qing was a Tianyun Sect disciple, the Tianyun Sect probably won’t stand idly by!”
“That’s right! Huangfu Zhantian is a genius disciple of the Tianyun Sect. If he finds out about Huangfu Qing’s death, that would be terrible!”
“The third young master of the Feng family was appointed Grand Commander by the Emperor himself. With the Huangfu family committing an act of insubordination, that’s a capital offense. With the backing of the Empire, even the Tianyun Sect might not be able to do anything to the Grand Commander.”
In an instant, the news spread far and wide, quickly sweeping through the whole of Tianzhou, shocking countless powers, great and small.
Some people believed that the death of a disciple was a minor matter, and the Tianyun Sect would not bother to clash with the Empire over it.
Others believed it concerned the reputation of the Tianyun Sect. For their disciple to be killed without any response would be out of character for them!
Moreover, with the Huangfu family committing an act of insubordination, if the Emperor found out, the entire Huangfu family might be executed!
