Chapter 560: Chapter 329: You Dare to Hurt Me?
The dazzling divine light, dragging a long trail behind it like a tail, sliced through the dark and deep night sky. Eventually, it was accompanied by a booming sound akin to thunder, and a pillar of flame shot skyward. Amidst the sky-filling dust, it flattened half of a mountain peak before finally burying itself in a heap of rubble and debris.
“Unlucky!”
In the midst of billowing smoke and dust, a slightly disheveled young man in white emerged with a black wolf who was also covered in dust and dirt.
“What kind of rotten place is this?”
Feng Qing’an took a deep breath and sneezed, muttering discontentedly.
His immediate environment stirred a sense of familiarity in him, reminding him of the chaotic human world that had only just ended. The demons had run rampant in the Human World Dynasty, filling the air with a similar grimy atmosphere.
However, there were differences. If he were to compare, the stench in the human world was like that of a newly brewed rice wine, while the current smell was like an old wine that had been settled for countless years.
The combined odour of the demonic energy and spiritual Qi was so thick and heavy it was terrifying. It made Feng Qing’an, who had experienced similar situations, feel slightly uncomfortable.
Howl~
The black dog following the boy whimpered and looked around warily, sensing many unsettling presences in the air.
Only when he saw the situation firsthand did he realize that what he had touched and experienced was starkly different from the immortal land he had expected to find.
Feng Qing’an had a bizarre sense of deja vu. What he saw from outside was an immortal land, but when he entered, it seemed to have become a playground for demons, a reality that seemed to have been established a long time ago.
Feeling Black Mountain’s unease, Feng Qing’an was unaffected. After all, he had dared to break in here after the arrival of a celestial being, and naturally had some leverage.
“Youyou, time to show yourself!”
Clang clang~
Accompanied by the crisp and melodious sound of a phoenix’s cry, a phoenix, no larger than a fist and with a long tail, appeared in Feng Qing’an’s hand.
“Ah, Feng Qing’an, you finally let me out. I was suffocating inside.”
The little phoenix flapped its wings, flew up from Feng Qing’an’s shoulder, and landed there. Its beautiful reflecting eyes, like black gems, were filled with curiosity and joy in the face of the unknown
“Where are we? This is so strange. It doesn’t feel like the human world or the underworld!”
“This is your home. Don’t tell me you don’t recognize it?”
Feng Qing’an laughed at the innocent inquiry of the small phoenix, his previous upset mood teased away.
“You’re here?”
The little phoenix’s eyes bulged in surprise.
“I thought it would take some more time.”
“We’re here now. You’re the problem. I don’t know this place, I don’t know where we are. You were born here, you came out, and you don’t recognize it. Can you be any more unreliable?”
Feng Qing’an reached out and caught the small phoenix standing on his shoulder.
He had counted on a local guide and top-notch support when entering Cave Sky. Not only could he do as he pleased, but he would also reap plenty of benefits. Now, it seemed he was merely wishful thinking.
This guy didn’t seem reliable at all. His current state was perhaps worse than arbitrarily picking a direction himself.
“Feng Qing’an, you can’t blame me, I left this place hundreds of years ago. When I left, this place was already deteriorating. I didn’t expect it to have become so bad.”
Little Phoenix Youyou looked at his unfamiliar hometown, and couldn’t help but show a hint of sadness in his eyes.
“Useless is useless, no need to explain. It’s only been a couple of hundred years, even changes in the sea and mulberry fields don’t happen this fast.”
Feng Qing’an simply regarded him as unreliable. In the absence of human intervention, the mountains and rivers in the world would take at least a hundred years to change. To become unrecognizable even to the original inhabitants was not something that a few hundred years could do. Unless there were powerful beings constantly fighting, shattering mountains and rivers, obstructing the River and permanently changing the landscape.
“Mr. Feng, where are you now?”
The rune on his left wrist glowed, illuminating a ring encircling the wrist. From it, an excited and extremely agitated voice could be heard. That was the voice of the Cave Sky Spirit.
Just a moment ago, Feng Qing’an had communicated with Cave Sky to let Youyou, who had been waiting inside, come out. That split-second exchange of aura made the Cave Sky Spirit excited.
“None of your business. Just do what you’re supposed to do and stop worrying about irrelevant things!”
It was very clear what the Cave Sky Spirit wanted. As soon as it wagged its tail, Feng Qing’an knew what was coming.
If this Phoenix Clan Cave Sky had been discovered by him, he could have taken his time to explore it and plan his next move. But this secret place suspected to be a Cave Sky was not discovered by him, he had just joined halfway.
