Chapter 256 - Heaven and EarthHearing Xiang Yun"s words, Zheng Yufeng, who had been lying on the ground, remained motionless. His expression was dull, and his eyes listless.
"Hehe, I"ve heard a saying before, "You will never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep. The best method is to let him wake up on his own," don"t you think?"
Xiang Yun had a playful smile on his face as he spoke. Even though what Zheng Yufeng had said to Xiang Yun was not the slightest bit different, Xiang Yun already had complete confidence in himself!
Seeing that Zheng Yufeng still had no reaction, Xiang Yun rubbed his hands together and said, "Since Young Sect Master is unwilling to wake up, then I"ll help you."Having finished speaking, Xiang Yun took a step towards Zheng Yufeng and arrived at his side. Xiang Yun suddenly reached out and grabbed Zheng Yufeng"s collar, gently lifting him up like a little chicken.
Xiang Yun did not do anything to Zheng Yufeng. He simply placed him to the side, while his eyes remained on the ground where Zheng Yufeng had originally been curled up!
The Snow Dragon Peak Plaza was made up of large green stones. The stone was heavy and had a splendid surface. There was even some moss growing on it, giving it an ancient feeling.
Seeing Xiang Yun staring at the stone tablet, Zheng Yufeng, who had originally been lying lifelessly off to the side, suddenly narrowed his eyes. He appeared to be in a state of panic.
"Hehe …" Xiang Yun coldly laughed as the Giant Blue Profound Sword in his hand stabbed down!
"Bam!"A clear and crisp sound rang out as the limestone instantly cracked open. Xiang Yun retracted his strength and moved the greatsword away. He extended his foot and stomped down, completely shattering the limestone and collapsing it!
"You!"
At this moment, in those dozens of days, the young sect master of the Snow Dragon Sect, who had been rumored to have gone completely crazy, had a panicked look on his face. His eyes were filled with nervousness and shock!
Xiang Yun did not mind this at all. He extended his hand towards the spot where the limestone had caved in, reached out and grabbed. The next moment, he pulled out a black bag from the stone.
"Put it down!"
Seeing Xiang Yun grab the black bag, Zheng Yufeng immediately rushed forward, wanting to s.n.a.t.c.h it.
Xiang Yun merely extended a finger and pointed at Zheng Yufeng"s forehead. Zheng Yufeng felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he toppled over onto the ground, unable to move.
"Don"t worry." Xiang Yun said indifferently.
"How did you know!?" How do you know this thing is here? "
Zheng Yufeng saw Xiang Yun grab that black bag. His eyes widened, filled with disbelief!
"Haha …" Xiang Yun and Zheng Yufeng"s gazes met, smiling as they spoke.
"Even a madman should know how to be afraid of pain or death. You, Zheng Yufeng, aren"t some sworn hero. If you"re crazy, you"re not afraid of anything?"
"In this Snow Dragon Mountain, you will be beaten and tortured day and night, but you won"t leave. What can you do for it, naturally, is something important that you care about hidden here. You worry about being taken away by others, so you act like a fool and guard here."When Zheng Yufeng heard this, his face became even darker!
Xiang Yun then continued, "When I was fighting with that group of people before, I had clearly noticed that you had several times cast your gaze below this piece of limestone, and then coincidentally had curled up here to hide. There"s no money in this place, so how could I not have guessed it?"
"It looks like you plan to secretly bring this thing away after the people who came to plunder your sect"s treasures leave, am I right?"
Xiang Yun Yang said to Zheng Yufeng as he waved the black bag in his hand.
In the previous battle, Xiang Yun had actually kept a trace of his spiritual will within himself, watching Zheng Yufeng"s every move. Therefore, every single time Zheng Yufeng"s expression had changed, Xiang Yun had taken it to heart.
"Ugh!"Zheng Yufeng"s words came to a halt as he finally became stunned silent with a dejected expression on his face. He never would have thought that while he was playing the fool at Snow Dragon Peak for more than ten days, he would have suffered the humiliation and deceived everyone.
When everything was about to come to an end, he could bring the treasure his father had left for him, but someone had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The person who he thought was long dead had ruined all his plans!
"Hahahaha!" Suddenly, Zheng Yufeng raised his head and laughed wildly!"Retribution is all retribution, it is the retribution of our Blood Dragon Mountain"s Zheng Family!"
Zheng Yufeng shouted with all his might. His originally smiling face was now filled with tears. There was resentment, regret, and even more despair!
In the past, the Snow Dragon Peak had been showing off its might, causing countless people to raise their heads up in flattery. Today, the Ruins Plaza was covered in tears. It was obvious that he was left behind in despair!
Xiang Yun shook his head slightly as he looked at Zheng Yufeng, who had an expression of utter despair. He then turned to look at the hempen-clothed old man who was lying on the ancient pine tree.
"Old Liang, take him back to the city!"
The moment Xiang Yun"s voice fell, he felt the clouds and mist in front of him being sucked into the void by a strange yet powerful force. Zheng Yufeng, who was at the side, also looked around at the clouds and the great earth beneath his feet with shock!
"A Sky Cloud powerhouse!"
Zheng Yufeng"s heart was filled with shock. Their Snow Dragon Peak"s strongest person was his own Sect Leader and father, but he was still just a Mystic Cloud Peak expert. Compared to the Sky Cloud powerhouse, he was nothing more than an ant.
Turning his head to look at the indifferent Xiang Yun, Zheng Yufeng was both shocked and bitter. It was laughable that they had even wanted to get rid of this person back then. His opponent actually had an expert companion on the Sky Cloud level.
Now that he thought about it, even if those people hadn"t personally slaughtered the Snow Dragon Sect, Xiang Yun could have easily annihilated their entire sect. They were a great power that seemed to be suppressing the entire Silver Moon Mountain Range, but they had no chance of resisting.
The journey from the Silvermoon Mountain Range to the Qin Feng City was over a hundred miles, and with Old Liang"s speed, it was only a matter of time.
As if under Xiang Yun"s orders, the old man leapt past the city walls of Qin Feng and landed right outside the southern gate of the city!
In the past, the south gate of Qin Feng City had not been able to leave. Most of them were young and strong people who had gone out to the south. They did not want to stay in this barren city.
However, after Xiang Yun had arrived, the drastic changes and the continuous infusion of large amounts of money had caused the city to be filled with vitality for a short period of time. The number of people coming and going gradually increased, mostly foreigners who had come to do business or play.
Now, the southern city gate was becoming more lively. There were many times more people coming and going than before. Xiang Yun and his group had landed at a place slightly further away from the southern city gate.
Xiang Yun threw the black bag in his hand toward Zheng Yufeng!
Zheng Yufeng subconsciously extended his hand to receive the bag before looking at Xiang Yun with a flabbergasted expression. "What are you …?"Take your things and get out of here. In the Silvermoon Mountain Range, without your father to take care of you, you don"t even have a chance to live. Do you think that once those people leave, you"ll be able to take your treasures and fly away?
Xiang Yun scoffed, "Do you know how many people are waiting for you at the Snow Dragon Mountain? You should know that the person who sees your weakness is definitely not me alone. By the time you sneakily run down the mountain with that treasure in your hand, the others have already decided on how they would distribute your treasures."
He knew that everything Xiang Yun had said was true. The only reason he had insisted on doing so was because he was hoping for a sliver of luck.
After a moment of silence, a puzzled expression appeared on Zheng Yufeng"s face.
"You … why are you helping me? I was trying to kill you before!"Xiang Yun grinned, "If you want to be a saint and save a life, do you still need any reason?"
Zheng Yufeng stared fixedly at the free and easy looking young man before him, and a complex expression appeared on his face.
"Are you not afraid that in the future, when I have the chance to stand up again, I will come and harm you?"
"Harm me?" Xiang Yun laughed involuntarily, "Please, it"s your Snow Dragon Sect that owes me this debt. I didn"t harm you, I didn"t seek revenge on you, and that"s already a Bodhisattva"s heart. You still want to harm me, you brat, there"s something wrong with your brain.
Zheng Yufeng still did not move. Xiang Yun could not help but furrow his brows and impatiently wave his hand.
"Hurry up and get out of here, why are you spouting so much nonsense. Be careful that I don"t go back on my words. Killing people for treasures, there"s no one else here. This is a good place to take their goods and destroy their corpses!"After a moment of silence, Zheng Yufeng stared at Xiang Yun and gave him a deep look. He actually bent over and bowed to Xiang Yun!
"Thank you!"
After saying these two words, Zheng Yufeng turned around and walked away. He walked forward step by step, heavy and slow. When he took his tenth step, he paused for a moment before taking his eleventh step. Zheng Yufeng suddenly turned around and said to Xiang Yun!
"Between the heavens and the earth, within water and fire!"
Without even looking back, he staggered forward with the black bag in his arms. His figure disappeared into the depths of the forest as he went further and further away.
"What do you mean by "heaven and earth", "water and fire"?" Xiang Yun savored the words left behind by Zheng Yufeng with a puzzled expression.
Old Liang, on the other hand, smiled with interest and said, "Interesting. How interesting. Is this what you mean by repaying kindness with kindness?""Huh?" Xiang Yun turned to look at Old Liang, "Old Liang, do you know what this means?"
"Hehe, this kid probably knows where the real treasures of their sect are hidden. I already told you, you brat, you"ve picked up a big deal!"
"Aiya! Is that true? Let"s go back to Snow Dragon Peak to find treasures. Tell me, where did that thing go? " Upon hearing that there was a great treasure, Xiang Yun"s eyes lit up as he anxiously tugged at Old Liang"s sleeve.
Old Liang gulped down a mouthful of wine, breaking free from Xiang Yun"s grasp with a wave of his hand, "What are you looking for?"
"Of course it"s to find the treasure that Zheng Yufeng mentioned!"
"I don"t know where?""Didn"t you just say that you are right?"
Old Liang"s eyes slanted and he rolled his eyes, "Heh, I only said that there was a treasure. I don"t know the exact location. Who knows where it is in the world, in water and fire.""Oh my G.o.d, then let"s head back to the residence first. We"ll think about it in the future."
Xiang Yun turned his head gloomily, Old Liang followed with a chuckle, heading towards the south gate of Qinfeng City, one master and one servant.
On the way, Old Liang tilted his head and said, "Crown Prince, are you letting that kid go just to catch some big fish?"
Xiang Yun shook his head."Aren"t you afraid of letting the tigers loose and returning to the mountain, becoming a big threat in the future?"
Xiang Yun gently waved his hand and smiled, "If Zheng Yufeng is truly going to become a huge threat to me in the future, then what"s the point of me living another hundred years? Also, with a few uncertain people or matters, wouldn"t this world be a little more interesting?"
"Hiss!"
For the first time, Old Liang"s gaze fell upon Xiang Yun, a hint of admiration in his eyes. Unable to hold it in any longer, he raised his head and gulped down a mouthful of wine, nodding in praise!
Tsk tsk, this Ling Tian is a freak, and not a single one of his sons is normal. The cultivation talent of the second brother is so abnormal that it can"t be described with words.
"Ahem, you are the old monster that has lived for two lifetimes!" Xiang Yun felt rather guilty, and replied weakly!
