Chapter 621 - 292: Manifestation of the Sacred (Part 2)
But in just a moment, its aura grew weaker and showed signs of becoming a roasted chicken.
The two wings originally protecting Yu Feihong went limp under severe pain.
"Screech!"
Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Feng used the Sword Control Technique to maneuver the Civil Servant Sword, aiming it at the center of Yu Feihong’s forehead.
Yu Feihong found himself standing in a sea of fire, with the Three-tailed Wolf King devouring his Bald Eagle. Enraged, he had no time to react as Jiang Feng’s Flying Sword shot toward his forehead.
In desperation, a divine radiance shot from his forehead, blocking the Civil Servant Sword at the crucial moment, though his body was sent flying.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Jiang Feng pursued, controlling the Wind Control Technique to unleash an endless storm of Wind Blades, intending to engulf Yu Feihong. Harboring murderous intent, disregarding Yu’s intentions in testing his true cultivation.
Daring to blatantly plot against him.
Even trying to shoot a flying sword into his forehead, forcing him to use a hard-earned Golden Cicada Talisman. Given a chance, Jiang Feng would show no mercy.
Things happened too suddenly.
No time for Jiang Feng to think too much.
"Stop!"
But just at that moment.
A stronger storm appeared, enveloping all of Jiang Feng’s Wind Blades, grinding them into pieces, which then returned to the air as gentle breezes.
"What are you doing?"
From the tangible storm emerged a tall, scholar-like middle-aged cultivator.
"Disciple greets Elder Xu."
Bai Yang bowed to the middle-aged figure.
Hearing he was an elder who could deflect Jiang Feng’s Wind Control Technique, Wu Weiwei, already a disciple of the Cyan Cloud Sect, quickly knelt down.
"Roar!"
The Three-tailed Wolf King, however, paid no mind, intending to break the Bald Eagle’s neck, remaining clamped down despite its struggles.
"Impertinent!"
With a wave of Elder Xu’s hand, the Three-tailed Wolf King was sent flying. The Bald Eagle lay struggling on the ground, its neck wound gruesome and bleeding profusely, with more air going out than coming in, heavily relying on miraculous elixirs for healing.
"Roar!"
The Three-tailed Wolf King looked warily at Elder Xu, sensing he was even more intimidating than Xiang Pangyun.
"Elder Xu, Xu Shusheng?"
Jiang Feng’s heart was shocked.
He did not know Yu Feihong but had heard of Xu Shusheng’s exploits, reputed as the strongest elder of the Cyan Cloud Sect.
"Well, interesting."
Xu Shusheng noticed the talismanic seal on the Three-tailed Wolf King’s forehead and chuckled.
"Elder Xu, Jiang Feng violated sect rules; he tried to kill me."
Yu Feihong said with a grim expression.
The appearance of the Golden Cicada Talisman caught him off guard, injuring his divine soul, and forcibly summoning back his Lifebound Flying Sword depleted much of his vitality, preventing him from withstanding Jiang Feng’s successive attacks.
This cost him his face.
Seeing his Bald Eagle mount barely alive, almost having its neck snapped by the Three-tailed Wolf King, he nearly lost control.
"Jiang Feng just joined the sect not long ago; he doesn’t know the rules, but don’t you? Who forced him to use the Golden Cicada Talisman?"
Jiang Feng thought Xu Shusheng was about to make trouble for him, but unexpectedly, he reprimanded Yu Feihong instead.
"I... The disciple was wrong."
Yu Feihong’s face flushed, and, facing Xu Shusheng’s questioning, the usually proud Feihong lowered his head in admission.
"Go to Demon Blade Peak to face punishment. Do not come out for three years."
Xu Shusheng instructed.
"Yes!"
Yu Feihong dared not protest, taking his Bald Eagle and flying towards Demon Blade Peak.
Jiang Feng watched his retreating form.
Demon Blade Peak is the Cyan Cloud Sect’s punishing ground, detaining those who violate sect rules, a place much more brutal than Zhenbei Prison.
Yu Feihong likely ventures there for the first time.
"Elder Xu, just now I..."
Jiang Feng began to explain.
"Did I permit you to speak?"
Xu Shusheng asked.
Jiang Feng was rendered speechless.
"Reckless, deserves punishment!"
Xu Shusheng waved, sending a storm blast onto Jiang Feng’s chest.
Jiang Feng realized he couldn’t evade it.
With a bang.
He flew from Xiaolin Peak to Yagu Peak, landing at the Main Hall’s entrance. He saw Xu Shusheng’s concentrated storm force on his chest, penetrating his body and then surging out before vanishing before him.
Jiang Feng inspected himself, finding no injury.
On Xiaolin Peak, Xu Shusheng wore a faint smile.
He inwardly mused, "Bold kid, forming an Earth Dao Foundation Establishment is indeed you."
"You beast, just arrived at Cyan Cloud Sect and dare to bite the spirit beasts here, deserve punishment!"
Xu Shusheng waved another storm force at the Three-tailed Wolf King, sending it flying from Xiaolin Peak to Yagu Peak, crashing at the Main Hall’s entrance.
Yet, it directly made a large pit.
Unlike Jiang Feng, it had no protective force.
It struggled a bit, Xu Shusheng’s storm force surged from its body, taking a bloody light, disappearing into the air.
"Wolf God Bloodline, hahahaha."
Xu Shusheng smiled warmly, satisfied, and disappeared with the storm from Bai Yang and Wu Weiwei’s view.
Wu Weiwei raised her head to find the Three-tailed Wolf King and Jiang Feng gone.
"Huh!"
She suddenly noticed two strands of storm force at her feet, like steel hoops, around her ankles.
Bai Yang noticed the storm rings, tearing up emotionally, bowed to Wu Weiwei, and said, "Junior Sister, head to the Academy, Elder Xu summons you as the Scholar’s Attendant."
"Huh?"
Wu Weiwei was utterly baffled.
"Junior Sister, being Elder Xu’s Scholar’s Attendant has benefits not less than Junior Brother Jiang’s."
Bai Yang reminded.
"Oh, thank you, Senior Brother Bai."
Wu Weiwei snapped back to reality, asked for the directions to the Academy, and hurriedly flew there.
Some disciples, seeing her, an Outer Disciple, daring to fly in the air, were about to scold or even use techniques to bring her down, suddenly noticed the storm rings on her ankles, shivered, and looked at her enviously as she flew above.
"Just now, it felt like all my secrets were laid bare under his scrutiny; the power in him seemed akin to the Living Fossil."
Jiang Feng stood up, dusting his clothes, pondering.
"Roar!"
The Three-tailed Wolf King lowly growled.
It struggled to stand, surveying the surroundings, showing a dejected demeanor.
New to Cyan Cloud Sect, subjected to blows one after another, having the Wolf God Bloodline seemed futile.
"Follow me for cultivation; one day, no one will dare harm you."
Jiang Feng, observing the wolf’s low spirits, sought to encourage it.
The Three-tailed Wolf King glanced indifferently at Jiang Feng. Ordinarily, it would ignore him, but this time, it sighed, and nodded toward Jiang Feng.
It realized Jiang Feng’s strength surpassed its own; even if the talismanic seal on its forehead broke, it couldn’t match Jiang Feng until fully mastering the Wolf God Bloodline.
Moreover, Jiang Feng fought Yu Feihong for its sake, losing a Golden Cicada Talisman, nearly killing Yu Feihong. Regardless of whether he anticipated the course of events, his ferocity showed a trace of the Wolf God’s demeanor.
"Let’s find Master Changyun."
Jiang Feng sought to understand why Yu Feihong targeted him, or who his backer was.
He had already made an enemy of Yu Feihong, genuinely attempting to kill him. Given Yu’s temper, revenge seemed inevitable.
Jiang Feng needed to prepare, not relying solely on protection.
"The Qinglong Cauldron’s previous owner, Yu Feihong’s father Yu Chuanhai, secluded himself for years, researching restriction arrays, aiming for the Golden Core, intending to retrieve the Qinglong Cauldron from the Central Earth Dragon Capital. He couldn’t bear the Qinglong Cauldron falling into your hands and returning to the Cyan Cloud Sect a century ago, naturally wanting to retaliate against you."
Changyun explained.
"Now it’s troublesome; he has secluded himself for years and was outmatched by me. Earlier he gained no advantage, and I nearly killed him. Once he emerges from Demon Blade Peak, how would he spare me?"
Jiang Feng said with a grim expression.
"Rest assured, he can’t harm you."
Changyun didn’t consider it a concern. With the Living Fossil and Lin Tianlin backing Jiang Feng, and Xu Shusheng on his side, Yu Feihong had little recourse.
However, that’s not Jiang Feng’s perspective.
Unless Lin Tianlin disclosed his identity and status to Yu Feihong, forcing Yu Feihong to employ the Blood-Burning Oath, Jiang Feng doubted Yu Feihong would spare him.
