Free Web NovelChapter 462: Chapter 235: Staying Together
Not long after Jiang Feng left with Han Dong.
Three figures appeared simultaneously at White Tiger Mountain.
Li Yang, Emperor of the Great Tang, stood at the mountain top, surveying the surroundings. He saw a crevice at the edge of the cliff, leapt down, and suspended himself at the edge. He spotted a cave hidden in the cliff.
"Buzz!"
The Dharma King of Yun Gui Sect cast a magic rune, enveloping the entire White Tiger Mountain, attempting to locate the aura of Jiang Feng and Han Dong.
"Bang!"
The Cyan Snake King revealed her true form, her massive body breaking through the mountain, her head probing out from the cave. She entered the mountain, suspecting Jiang Feng might be hiding inside using the Qinglong Cauldron.
After a thorough search, they found nothing.
"We’re one step too late."
The Cyan Snake King looked displeased.
Jiang Feng had two innate magical treasures in his possession, both capable of subduing their Cyan Snake Demon clan. If they couldn’t capture Jiang Feng, it could spell disaster for their clan in the future.
Regret filled him internally.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have coveted the Dragon Bone Bow or conspired with Li Yang against Jiang Feng.
"He couldn’t have gotten far with Han Dong."
Li Yang returned to the mountain top and pointed, casting a finger seal. The finger seal shot out from the collapsed cave, heading south.
"Why is he heading south?"
Li Yang frowned.
His tracking technique was quite similar to the Eight Desolates Soul Pursuit Skill of the Divine Sect, only his strength surpassed Liu Chen, allowing him to see more clues.
"Damn, he might be heading to the Divine Sect Mansion."
After serious thought, the Cyan Snake King’s expression drastically changed.
He recalled how Jiang Feng once hid in the Divine Sect Mansion for over two years, almost forcing the Divine Sect to risk its elders’ safety to enter and deal with Jiang Feng.
Now, with Jiang Feng’s increased strength, heading south could very well be an attempt to hide once more in the Divine Sect Mansion.
After all, entering the Divine Sect Mansion required the Three-legged Body Technique as a guide.
Without the Three-legged Body Technique, forcing an entry would be a deathtrap.
"I have practiced the divine skill to such an extent, yet I’ve never set foot in the Divine Sect Mansion. Perhaps it’s destiny. I request the elder to guide us."
Li Yang chuckled.
Having achieved great success in his divine skill, even the Dharma King of Yun Gui Sect regarded him deferentially. For the renowned Divine Sect Mansion, he had always longed for a visit. Given that over the years, both the Divine Sect and others had sought to claim the Dragon Capital Underground Palace, Li Yang wanted to try his luck at the Divine Sect Mansion under a different guise.
"Alright."
The Cyan Snake King did not refuse and immediately led Li Yang and the Dharma King of Yun Gui Sect to the Divine Sect Mansion together.
...
Two days later, Jiang Feng and Han Dong appeared together outside the Divine Sect Mansion.
Qinglong Cauldron had expanded to the size of a courtyard, filled with food and supplies, enough to sustain Jiang Feng and Han Dong for years.
The two had rushed all the way from White Tiger Mountain.
Aside from procuring living supplies, they encountered no other delays along the way.
Upon reaching outside the mansion.
Jiang Feng released his spiritual sense.
Dragon Bone Bow in hand, he guarded the surroundings vigilantly.
Once assured that no Divine Sect disciples were guarding it, he brought Han Dong and the Qinglong Cauldron into the mansion.
"Sister Dong, it’s filled with restriction arrays in here. You can’t move alone; I’ll carry you inside."
"Mm!" freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Inside the mansion, Jiang Feng picked up Princess Han Dong, using the Three-legged Body Technique, he rushed toward the two stone statues.
Guided by the Three-legged Body Technique, Jiang Feng reached the statues with Han Dong safely.
He set down Han Dong and the Qinglong Cauldron together.
"Sister Dong, this is the only safe spot here. Everywhere else is filled with restriction arrays. Do not stray beyond the range of these two statues,"
Jiang Feng reminded.
"Did you really stay here for two or three years?"
Han Dong felt the Divine Sect Mansion was even more intimidating than the Dragon Capital Underground Palace, eerie and ghostly, as if specters were wandering everywhere. Even the statues by her side were grotesque, difficult to look at directly.
If it wasn’t for Jiang Feng, Han Dong couldn’t bear staying a moment longer.
"Yes, this place is quite unique. Only by mastering the Three-legged Body Technique can one pass through layers of arrays. Forcing entry, regardless of how strong one is, would be nearly impossible to survive,"
Jiang Feng nodded.
"How long are we gonna stay?"
Unlike Jiang Feng, Han Dong had worries outside.
"Well... Once my strength grows, I’ll take you out."
Jiang Feng wasn’t sure how long they’d have to stay. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"Alright, we’ll wait until your strength improves!"
Han Dong accepted reluctantly, knowing going out now would only mean death, and endanger Jiang Feng.
"Another palace has lit up."
Jiang Feng looked toward the line of seemingly endless palaces behind the statue, noticing a two-story palace illuminated by golden light in a corner.
Jiang Feng vaguely remembered.
The first time he entered.
The palace illuminated by golden light last time was much smaller.
Last time, he obtained a Dragon Bone Bow and a Red Book here, but now he wondered what treasures or secret manuals were hidden in the newly illuminated palace.
"What are you mumbling about?"
To Han Dong, unable to perform the Three-legged Body Technique, everything beyond the statues was shrouded in shadows, with the distant line of palaces resembling colossal specters, chilling her to the bone.
"I see great opportunities ahead, much more significant than the ones I previously encountered,"
Jiang Feng smiled.
"Then hurry and seize it,"
Han Dong beamed with joy.
"No rush, that opportunity isn’t going anywhere. Right now, the priority is to dispel the Cyan Snake Cold Qi in you."
These past two days, constantly on the move, Jiang Feng hadn’t had the time to expel the Cyan Snake Cold Qi from Han Dong. He could only have Qinglong Cauldron shield her aura, preventing the Cyan Snake King from using the reversal power of the Cyan Snake Cold Qi to endanger Han Dong’s life.
