Chapter 5990: Riding On a Dragon
A surge of teleportation energy enveloped Chu Feng. The same also happened for Huahua and Xia Xingchen, who were in the remnant too.
Xia Xingchen was taken aback by the teleportation energy. It was only when she was brought back to the mountain forest that it struck her that she had been evicted from the remnant.
She felt worried, as Chu Feng and Huahua were still in the remnant.
Seconds later, two surges of teleportation energy manifested, and Chu Feng and Huahua emerged from them. With that, she could finally put her heart at ease.
However, Xia Xingchen’s heart quickly tensed up again when she noticed Huahua and Chu Feng’s abnormal conditions. In particular, Huahua’s face was so pale that Chu Feng’s anomaly felt like nothing in comparison.
“Huahua, you...” Xia Xingchen rushed up to Huahua.
However, Huahua anxiously got up and rushed to Chu Feng’s side. She grabbed the latter’s shoulder and scanned him from head to toe several times before asking, “Chu Feng, how are you feeling?”
“I’m fine, elder,” Chu Feng replied with a smile.
“How can you be fine? Hurry up and swallow this, this, and this too. Take them together.” Huahua took out a couple of pills and pa.s.sed them to Chu Feng.
“Elder, I’m fine. I don’t need those pills.” Chu Feng could tell that these pills were extremely valuable, and it would be a waste for him to consume those pills in his current condition.
“Eat them!”
Chu Feng was in the midst of his words when Huahua suddenly stuffed the pills into his mouth and used her spirit power to dissolve them.
Chu Feng failed to react in time due to his lower cultivation. It was too late by the time he realized what was going on.
“Sit down. I’ll help you channel the medicinal energy. The pills will take effect faster that way.” After forcing the pills down Chu Feng’s throat, Huahua tried to push Chu Feng down to sit on the ground.
Xia Xingchen was so stunned that her mouth fell agape.
Seconds later, she snapped out of it. She immediately strutted up to the two of them and dragged Huahua away from Chu Feng’s side.
“Wait a moment. Huahua, what are you up to?” Xia Xingchen stared at Huahua.
“I’m treating Chu Feng,” Huahua replied.
“But you’re the more severely injured one here!” Xia Xingchen exclaimed.
“Big sister Xingchen, you don’t know how dangerous that formation was! Chu Feng...”
“What about Chu Feng? He’s in a better condition than you. You need to calm down! Here, sit down. I’ll treat you.” Xia Xingchen forced Huahua to sit on the ground.
Chu Feng turned to Huahua and said with a smile, “Elder, I’m fine. You can check for yourself. Even if you don’t believe me, you should believe in your world spiritist techniques, right?”
He grabbed Huahua’s hand and placed it on his pulse.
Huahua took a look and confirmed that Chu Feng was indeed fine. However, she said, “I don’t trust my world spiritist technique that much anymore.”
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Xia Xingchen said as she tore Huahua’s hand away from Chu Feng’s wrist. She then turned to Chu Feng and said, “Chu Feng, leave Huahua to me. You should focus on your recuperation since you’re injured too.”
Xia Xingchen began to forcefully treat Huahua. The latter protested, but she couldn’t do anything as she was in a weakened state.
As for Chu Feng, his condition wasn’t terrible in the first place, and Huahua’s pill only made him more energetic than ever. He took a look at Huahua; the latter’s mind was a little rattled, but she should be fine after some rest.
Thus, he turned his attention to the Mobile Palace.
It had already disappeared. There wasn’t even any lingering aura.
Chu Feng fell into deep thought. To be honest, he was also feeling shaken up from his encounter with the white-haired, black-armored man.
There were many signs that the cultivators of the present era had no connection with those from the Ancient Era, especially since the legacies of the Ancient Era weren’t pa.s.sed down. This led many to think that the present-era cultivators were new lives that had emerged in this era, and that they had nothing to do with the Ancient Era.
Most present-era cultivators would have shrugged off Chu Feng’s conjecture. Chu Feng himself wasn’t confident in it either.
Yet, that white-haired, black-armored man affirmed his conjecture. The present-era cultivators were descendants of the Ancient Era’s mortals.
At the same time, this also showed that something was special about the white-haired, black-armored man. The latter had never revealed his strength, but Chu Feng’s gut feeling told him that the other party was unfathomably powerful.
On top of that, he suspected that the white-haired, black-armored man knew what happened in the later years of the Ancient Era.
What Chu Feng didn’t know was that the white-haired, black-armored man was currently standing next to him, just that no one could see him. The latter was studying Chu Feng’s gaze. He was reading Chu Feng’s thoughts and doubts.
Suddenly, a white-haired elder dressed in a blue world spiritist robe descended from the sky.
He held a horsetail whisk in hand and carried a sword behind him. His sword was peculiar. Instead of being forged of metal, it was made out of yellow talisman paper wrapped over one another.
This elder was Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer, but even he was unable to see the white-haired, black-armored man.
Chu Feng quickly bowed, saying, “Paying respect to Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer.”
He could tell that the other party was Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer.
“Chu Feng, we finally met. Spare with the formalities. We are one family,” Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer walked up to Chu Feng and a.s.sessed him with a smile, reminiscent of an elder meeting a junior after many years.
He was much more amicable than Huahua was during their first meeting.
Xia Xingchen and Huahua noticed Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer too, and the two of them bowed to him.
“Huahua, how did you receive those injuries?” Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer asked.
Huahua quickly explained the situation to Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer.
“Let’s head back first.”
Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer frowned upon learning the situation. Sensing that something was amiss, he decided to first take Chu Feng and the others away from here.
The white-haired, black-armored man watched as Chu Feng and the others left before withdrawing his gaze. Then, he took a small step forward, and he immediately traversed out of the realm and appeared in the middle of s.p.a.ce.
A roar echoed behind him.
A huge cl.u.s.ter of dark clouds suddenly appeared in s.p.a.ce, and it was approaching the white-haired, black-armored man at a rapid speed.
Upon closer examination, a black dragon of over ten thousand meters in length was riding on the dark clouds. The black dragon didn’t emanate any pressure, but its presence was already suffocating.
The black dragon wore black armor, and a sword scar on its blind left eye made it look even more intimidating. It emanated an ancient aura that indicated that it was from the Ancient Era.
Yet, this imposing black dragon lowered itself before the white-haired, black-armored man and called out, “Master.”
The white-haired, black-armored man leaped onto the black dragon’s head.
The world shook, and the black dragon vanished into thin air, not leaving the slightest aura in its wake.
