TFHS: Chapter 81

The closer it was to the date of the secret realm closing, the more violent Wu Yingyan’s temper became. There was no news about the Wen and Wu brothers. It was as if they were dead.

But he didn’t believe at all that these two people were really dead. He preferred that they were hiding in a very hidden place, protected by layers of formations.

The others were also discouraged. Everyone thought about how good the cultivator named Wu Hai was at formations. There were so many crystals. How could they not have any awareness of precautions? If it was them, they would hide in the safest place.

All they could do was wait for the two people to escape from the secret realm, carefully observe the positions of the two people in the crowd and spread the news back to their respective forces.

After all, tens of millions of yuan crystals and sixth-grade spiritual plants were worthy of the action of their forces.

There was still no news about Han Shu. Many cultivators who learned about her accident gathered together to talk about it. They guessed that Han Shu had probably died, and they all felt very emotional.

Such a promising alchemist actually died in a secret realm.

“What’s the pity? The most indispensable thing in this world is a genius. In the last secret realm, the genius Bai Qiaomo fell into trouble. This time, Han Shu fell in the secret realm. There are actually many geniuses who failed to grow up.”

“That’s right. I used to envy those geniuses. Now it seems that it is better to be alive. At least compared to them, we are still alive. There will be various possibilities as long as we are alive.”

Outside of the Xuanyue secret realm, all forces gathered at several exits, waiting to pick up the people who had left the secret realm.

The Xuanyue secret realm had more than one entrance and exit. The one closest to Gaoyang County was just one of them.

In addition to the people who responded, there were also many merchants who set up stalls here, hoping to purchase the spiritual plants and other resources brought out of the secret realm from the cultivators who left the secret realm as soon as possible.

Everyone had speculated in the three months since the Xuanyue secret realm opened. They didn’t know which cultivator could become the biggest winner.

This time, would there be an accident or an opportunity that hadn’t been discovered?

There were also many people talking about the new things that happened in Gaoyang County. The most popular one was Feng Jinlin, the son of the head of the Feng family.

Who would’ve thought that when everyone was paying attention to the Xuanyue secret realm, Feng Jinlin would rent a cave to retreat?

Not long ago, a large amount of vital energy gathered in the caves that were rented out, forming clouds in mid-air. Such a phenomenon was eye-catching.

It wasn’t difficult for experienced cultivators to judge that this was a strange phenomenon caused by someone breaking through in the cave over there and advancing to the essence dan realm.

The news spread and caused a stir throughout the city. All parties rushed to find out which cultivator rented the cave under the vision.

If the cultivator who broke through had no background, they would be the target of various forces competing to recruit him. The addition of one more essence dan realm would be of great benefit to the improvement of their respective forces.

There were too many inquiring parties, and the steward in charge of the business here was overwhelmed. After inquiring at the City Lord’s Mansion, the steward disclosed the identity of the person in retreat.

Even if the steward deliberately wanted to conceal it, the truth would be revealed when the person came out of the cave.

The steward himself was surprised. At the time when Feng Jinlin rented the cave, he only collected the yuan crystals and didn’t care much about the identity of the renter.

Who would’ve thought that the person who rented it would be Feng Jinlin, and that he had actually advanced to the essence dan realm?

After the steward revealed his identity, the whole place was in an uproar. The person from the Feng family, who came to inquire about the information, almost choked and fell down.

He had known that Feng Jinlin took the Blue Frost Spring Water to prepare for his promotion to the essence dan realm, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly.

He had only reached the peak of the essence liquid realm not long ago. How could he break through again so quickly? Didn’t this make other cultivators at the peak of the essence liquid realm feel embarrassed?

After learning that the person who was promoted was Feng Jinlin, some people left. The existence of the Feng family and the head of the Feng family meant it was impossible for his own son to join other forces. There was no hope of recruiting him.

However, some people stayed. Who knew what the result would be if they didn’t try it? Judging from past events, the son of the Feng family was rebellious. Maybe to make the Feng family angry, he would join the forces that didn’t deal well with the Feng family.

The steward of the Feng family quickly delivered the news to the family. It could be imagined how much shock it would cause within the Feng family when the news was passed back.

Feng Songhai had expected his nephew Feng Jinlin to have a chance to advance to the essence dan realm, but he didn’t expect it to be so far. Did the Blue Frost Spring Water have such a miraculous effect? He didn’t believe it at all.

The young head of the family, Feng Jintai, felt extremely complicated. He had never paid attention to this half-brother before.

As a result, this person’s cultivation actually ran ahead of him. It could be imagined how others would look at him after he went out.

There might even be strange voices within the family.

The vision disappeared. After the excitement, Feng Jinlin consolidated his cultivation in the cave and didn’t come out.

The onlookers realized belatedly that at such a grand event, Feng Jinlin’s child and son-in-law weren’t present.

“I was just saying that Gaoyang County had been a lot quieter in the past two months. I thought it was because many people entered the Xuanyue secret realm. Now I realize that another reason is that Feng Jinlin’s ger child and son-in-law are missing. I haven’t seen them show up for a while.”

“Yes, looking back, it has been a long time since they showed up. How could they stay in the house without leaving at all?”

“Is it possible that he left secretly? Just as no one expected Feng Jinlin to be in seclusion here, perhaps he was worried about the safety of his child and son-in-law. Therefore, he secretly sent them away from Gaoyang County. After all, he offended the Wu family.”

There were many guesses, but no one was bold enough to guess that they had entered the secret realm.

Who was joking around? A good-for-nothing and a waste wanted to enter the secret realm to seek death?

Besides, the two of them weren’t seen in the team that entered the secret realm or the news would’ve spread long ago and become a sensation.

At this time, among the cultivators waiting at the exit of the secret realm, many people were talking about Feng Jinlin and his family.

Suddenly, someone laughed. “Why hasn’t Captain Xie from the Flying Feathers mercenary group come to pick up his people? Could it be that something happened to his people?”

Everyone turned to look and realized. Oh, it turned out to be Captain Xie’s enemy. Someone from another mercenary group persuaded, “There is still some time. Maybe he is on the way here. Based on Captain Xie’s essence dan realm cultivation, he can still make it on time.”

“Haha, speaking of Captain Xie, he is here. Look, there are two essence dan realm cultivators over there. Isn’t one of them Captain Xie himself? Who is the other?”

The essence dan realm cultivators could fly in the air. Of course, it needed to consume more yuan energy, so it was better to use other means of transportation.

Many people focused their attention on the other person. Then someone said in surprise, “It seems to be Feng Jinlin, who was promoted in Gaoyang County.”

“It is him. I saw him at the Jinyuan Auction venue that day. His aura was so impressive that it is hard to forget.”

“Why did Feng Jinlin and Captain Xie come here together?”

“Maybe it is because he has a good relationship with Captain Xie, so he came over to help Captain Xie pick up people together.”

Everyone could only make this guess. They really couldn’t think of another reason why he would come here.

In the blink of an eye, the two people in the air flew over. Many of the cultivators, who had been whispering just now, came out to greet Captain Xie and Feng Jinlin.

Some people directly asked Feng Jinlin why he came. Feng Jinlin smiled and said, “I am a bit curious about the Xuanyue secret realm. I came to see if I could collect some things. It just so happens that Captain Xie is coming, so I also came over.”

The reason was quite understandable, but Captain Xie’s expression was a bit subtle. It was obvious that this person was worried about his child and son-in-law, so he simply came along.

If Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo revealed their identities in the secret realm, they would definitely be known as soon as they left the secret realm.

If he was alone at that time, it would indeed not be easy to bring them back to Gaoyang County safely.

They hadn’t seen anyone yet and didn’t know anything about the situation. This meant it was impossible to tell everyone the truth.

Two-quarters of an hour after the two of them arrived, another energy vortex appeared in front of them. Cultivators were spewed out from the vortex as if the secret realm was clearing out tumors.

Feng Jinlin stared closely, afraid that he would miss his child and son-in-law.

Captain Xie was also a bit nervous and was ready to grab people with Feng Jinlin.

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo were calmly waiting for the moment when they were expelled from the secret realm. Bai Qiaomo held Feng Ming’s arm firmly, preventing Feng Ming from leaving his sight.

The moment they left the secret realm, the two of them adjusted their images and returned to the appearance they had before entering the secret realm. This way, they could avoid anything going wrong when they reunited with Captain Xie.

Just like the situation when entering the secret realm, Feng Ming felt dizzy and was in a state of falling again. He was a bit panicked, but it was much better than when he entered the secret realm. At the very least, he didn’t scream anymore.

Bai Qiaomo was looking for Captain Xie’s figure. At a glance, he saw two figures flying towards them.

To his surprise, Uncle Feng also came. He saw Uncle Feng flying over, and Bai Qiaomo knew that Uncle Feng had advanced to the essence dan realm.

“Look who’s coming?” Bai Qiaomo reminded Feng Ming to look over.

Feng Ming calmed down. Then he looked up and almost screamed at the sight.

It was his father. Fortunately, he still remembered his identity at this moment. He was a member of the Flying Feathers mercenary group. There was no need to reveal his true identity at this time, or he might not be able to go to Sihong Academy safely.

However, joy appeared in his eyes. It was really great. His father had reached the essence dan realm, and his backer had become stronger again.

Feng Jinlin took out a whip and wrapped it directly around the waists of the two men. Captain Xie turned around midway to pick up his own people, who came out a bit slower.

After seeing that the four members of the Flying Feathers mercenary group were all well, the cultivator who didn’t like Captain Xie was so jealous that his eyes were red. Only one of the two people sent in by their mercenary group had come out so far.

The two of them were separated due to an accident. The other one was still missing, so he was afraid that something had gone wrong.

This was precisely what happened.

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo landed safely on the back of the bird released by Captain Xie. Captain Xie stood on the head of the bird and said goodbye to everyone. “I will go first. Everyone, let’s talk another day.”

“I will also say goodbye.”

Captain Xie and Feng Jinlin worked in tandem, escorting the four cultivators who came out of the secret realm back to Gaoyang County.

Other cultivators felt that something was wrong. Was the relationship between the two of them so good that Feng Jinlin would protect the Flying Feathers mercenary group like this?

No, what about the things that Feng Jinlin wanted to collect? Was he just leaving now?

Feng Ming looked back, and his eyes met Gong Yuming’s.

The latter gave Feng Ming a knowing look. Feng Ming quickly turned back, fearing that he would laugh.

Feng Jinghuai also saw it, and his worry was completely gone.

The Gong family and Feng family members who came to pick them up were all talking about the same thing, which was Feng Jinlin’s promotion.

“Did you see that Feng Jinlin has advanced to the essence dan realm? No one expected it to be so fast. Feng Jinltai will probably lose a lot of face. By the way, Feng Jinlin and Captain Xie have a really good relationship.”

Hearing their sighs, the lips of both Gong Yuming and Feng Jiinghuai twitched.

The relationship was so good that Captain Xie was willing to cover for Feng Jinlin’s child and son-in-law.

But Feng Jinlin didn’t come here due to his good relationship with Captain Xie. He came to pick up his family members.

After being surprised by Feng Jinlin’s appearance, the cultivators who came out of the secret realm quickly told others about the situation in the secret realm. The most important thing was the Wen and Wu brothers.

Captain Xie and Feng Jinlin, who just left, heard exclamations from behind.

Captain Xie looked back and asked, “Did something happen in the secret realm?”

“Captain, Captain, something big did happen in the secret realm. In the secret realm, there was a pair of brothers surnamed Wen and Wu. They collected tens of millions of yuan crystals and grabbed a sixth-grade spiritual plant!”
