Chapter 660: Chapter 381: Lurking_2
Feng Qing’an’s words fell on Jiuling’s ears, like a heavenly doom descending, as if he and this Cave Sky would be completely annihilated.
The nine-headed serpent Jiuling, in extreme fear, buried all its heads into the earth, apologizing in the most humble manner to the noble existence before it, which was beyond verbal description.
“I do not bear any anger, I am just curious. You, who doesn’t even have a flesh and blood body, can have such a strong desire for me.
So in the case where I don’t hide anything, wouldn’t all the spirits and myriad things between heaven and earth rush over me and tear me apart and devour me completely?”
Curiosity seeped through Feng Qing’an’s words. He seemed to want to verify the allure he now held for the creatures of this world.
However, this dangerous thought was quickly suppressed by him. The behavior of the spirit of the Cave Sky had already explained everything. His overflowing aura was irresistible even to the spirit that lacked a physical entity, invoking a desire to devour.
“Master, as long as you stay inside the Cave Sky, even if a Heavenly Immortal descends, they cannot hurt you in the slightest.”
The extremely humble Jiuling replied, burying its heads in the soil. At this moment, its determination to protect its master was stronger than ever.
As long as this master stayed inside the Cave Sky, even if he only existed, the recovery speed of the Cave Sky would reach an unthinkable level. It wouldn’t take long for it to return to its heyday when the Demon Clan Great Saint was still alive.
“I can’t stay in the Cave Sky all the time.”
Feng Qing’an glanced at the spirit of the Cave Sky at his feet. To show its humility, the spirit even deliberately shrunk its body.
Although it was just a small trick, Feng Qing’an was quite satisfied with its attitude. After all, in terms of power, the spirit was superior to everything else, and he seemed unable to find a way to confront it.
“But the Cave Sky as it is now can provide everything you need for your cultivation. You can stay in it until you reach your limit and don’t need to rush in the outside world.”
It’s hard to say whether this suggestion was out of selfishness or sincere advice, or perhaps both.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qing’an pondered for a moment because it sounded reasonable.
He no longer needed to worry about resources, and the Cave Sky could provide him with a relatively safe environment. All he had to do was to quietly cultivate in it. Once he reached his limit, and could no longer progress in his cultivation, it wouldn’t be late to go out then.
“Hmm!”
After some thought, Feng Qing’an decided to lay low for the time being. He needed to sort out and control the power in his hands carefully to deal with potential uncertainties in the future.
If possible, he didn’t want to repay what was due, maybe he could evade it? All these required enough strength to rely on.
Thus, when the Feather people were increasinlgy anxious, the human youth who led the Kun Group to suddenly appear, just as suddenly disappeared from their ancestral land.
The Kun Group also disappeared one after another before long, and the Feather people knew very well why.
The man returned to the Cave Sky in their ancestral land, and the disappearance of the Kun Group was for the same reason—they were simply brought into the Cave Sky.
Although it seemed that all the forces that could threaten the clan had disappeared, the Feather people who knew the truth had difficulty sleeping, because if they could disappear, it meant they could also reappear at any time.
This potential threat of annihilation was unbearable. However, luckily, this unease didn’t last long. While the clan was discussing whether to relocate, that man summoned Qiong Yu’s most precious pearl.
Yun Chenglu!
Even though she knew that her ancestor had disappeared in the Cave Sky without any sign of returning, possibly even fallen, she still ventured into the entrance of the Cave Sky in the ancestral hall for the future of the clan and some unrealistic hope. She stepped into that fairy-like Cave Sky world.
“I will reside and cultivate in isolation in this place for a while. The marker for the door to the mundane world will be set in the ancestral hall of your Cloud City.”
Faced with a Human Immortal from the Heterogeneous Clan, Feng Qing’an acted like a deity in charge of life and death, standing high above and with an indifferent expression, informed her of the decision he had made not long ago.
“Sir, you can’t…”
“As compensation, I am willing to offer your tribe a chance. You could become my vassals and select the most elite among you to cultivate in this place, becoming my protectors, my wings!”
The girl who was already in the Cave Sky and had experienced its wonders was forced into a challenging decision: accepting the offer, which seemed like a blessing and a reward, would mean making her powerful Heterogeneous Clan serve as servants and slaves.
“Sir, this matter is of great importance, and I, alone, can’t make this decision. May I go back and consult with the elders of my tribe?”
She had been torn apart by the decision for a long time, but in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to make a decision. She didn’t have the courage to come to a conclusion; she wasn’t bold enough.
“You’re so indecisive, Chenglu. Your grandfather would be utterly disappointed if he saw you like this!”
The Merfolk Queen appeared in the grand palace that had just finished construction, dressed in golden scales and carrying a trident, surrounded by clear water. She watched the Feather person girl’s expression shift from calm to angry with a look of pity.
“Yao Sheng, where have you taken my grandfather? Where is he now?”
“Where is he?”
A strange expression crossed the Merfolk Queen’s face as she burst out laughing, full of mockery.
“He’s everywhere. The divine power you channel might be a part of the legacy left by your grandfather.”
“You…”
A burst of brilliant divine light erupted from the girl, but the rules of the Cave Sky firmly suppressed it. Her ability to tear through the void in the outside world only made her figure brighter in this place, changing nothing.
“Your grandfather only sought his path to death. We did nothing; he brought this fate upon himself. He dared try to seize control of the Cave Sky under the gaze of our Master, eventually being hit by divine lightning, charred to a crisp, and finally, he passed away.”
The Merfolk Queen described the powerful Feather person king’s end in a light-hearted manner, an end so overwhelmingly ignorant yet heroic that it even amazed Feng Qing’an.
Perhaps this bold and ignorant end suited that king. It was probably a good way for him to go off stage.
“Your Feather Clan should be grateful and thank our Master for his mercy. He didn’t annihilate your clan because of this.”
The Merfolk Queen continued to unsettle her friend with her words; she knew her friend well.
The Feather person girl didn’t look angry, she seemed inexplicably sad.
“Enough, there’s no need to say such things. If you can’t decide, then go back to discuss it. But consider the consequences should you reject me.”
Feng Qing’an spoke calmly, radiating an air of confidently controlled authority. If he wished, he could truly annihilate the Feather Clan from existence.
“Yes.”
Feng Qing’an’s words left the Feather Girl unsure. She understood what the ‘consequences’ meant. If they surrendered, her grandfather’s deeds would be naturally forgotten and omitted. But if they resisted, a deadly reckoning would be imminent.
“Sir, you’re way too lenient with these Feather people. If you were a bit harsher, they would naturally bow down before you. If they still refuse to see reason, I am willing to serve as your blade and wipe them out clean.”
The Merfolk Queen was somewhat disgruntled. When he had conquered her, this Human Race man had not been this easy-going. Yet he showed a different attitude towards the Feather Clan.
“I need a vassal who can guard the present world.”
“Master, the Merfolk are also willing to execute your will!”
The Merfolk Queen immediately bowed in response.
