Chapter 185 Return To The Sect (1)
And now, it was just put into perspective. Liu Feng took a whole three days to get to the Sky Heavens sect when he rode one of the best horses that he could find.
But now, the white robed man got them to the sect in just five minutes.
In five minutes, they appeared in front of them Black swamp forest, where he just left the two he was carrying fall down on the ground.
"We are here. Hong Jimin. You should follow me. As for you, Liu Feng. You are strong enough to enter the forest now. You should be able to enter the region of the Ash trees as well. Although you might not be able to get the spirit beasts, you should be able to match them or escape from them. So you should come in on your own." he said and just grabbed Hong Jimin and disappeared.
Liu Feng stood there blankly and looked at the dark forest in front of him. Unlike the last time that he was here, this place felt entirely different. He could not recognize one pattern. The path that he entered last time was completely gone.
Instead, there were only trees, and nothing else. He rummaged through his spatial ring and took out a familiar device. It was the spirit compass.
The compass that allowed him to reach the sect with no trouble at all.
He did not expect the same result to come now, but he knew that it would give him the general direction of the sect, and that was all that he needed right now.
"Don't attack any of the beasts that stay here. I would rather not offend any of the stronger beasts here. There might be stronger beasts that we cannot go against here, and the sect you are a part of probably has an agreement with these spirit beasts." Liu Man said.
"Yes. I know that much. I don't want to put the sect in a bad spot with the beasts in the forest. Better just rush in with the Kun Peng movement arts." Liu Feng said.
"No. If you do, then you will be perceived as a threat. I know how the beasts will think. You should just walk in normally. That way, they will not see you as a threat. But if you are under attack, then you can start running." Liu Man said.
"That roar that you used back then. Can you do that again? It was so powerful that I felt my blood freeze over." Liu Feng asked.
"Do you think that being a constellation beast is a joke? Full grown, I am one of the strongest beasts of the entire world!" Liu Man declared.
"But you are not full grown. So I think that it is best if you don't try anything. I will make sure that you get what you need. I will wait it out for the next two years. After that, I will need your help." Liu Feng said.
"Your life is tied to mine. I was forced to do that when that residue of a dragon dared to go against me. So I will help you as much as I can. It is better for me as well, because I will need more and more beast cores as I progress." Liu Man said.
"We should get going. It is already the evening, and I do not want to get stuck on the ground." Liu Feng said.
Saying this, he started rushing through the forest with the compass in his hands. Instinctively, that mysterious power that he had gained, the divine sense, started spreading forward from his spirit sea.
He was able to see almost twenty meters in front of him without even getting there!
That was just not possible with his normal senses, and his senses were further impaired by the trees and bushes that surrounded him. The divine sense was able to see through all that.
"This must be more than just a way to see forward. I should be able to use it, like those strong seniors did, and control objects with it." Liu Feng thought.
He was able to sense multiple beasts in front of him and evaded them strategically. Obviously, he did not want to get into a fight with them.
"I wonder. How do the beasts tackle the night? Doesn't the forest devour them? Shouldn't this be a barren forest?" he wondered, but put that aside.
Soon, he could sense a small hill approaching him. And the moment that he tried to scan the insides with his divine sense, he felt something resisting him.
Cough!
All of a sudden, the divine sense backlashed, and he coughed out blood.
"What happened?" he looked around with surprise.
"It is not very polite to use divine sense and look into someone else's home, young disciple." A calm and cool voice said.
"Forgive me, senior. I had just understood it and did not know how to use it properly. I shall make sure that it doesn't happen again." Liu Feng said hastily.
"I am not worried about that. You see, you are nothing to me. And you pose no real threat to me. So I will let you go, but you should leave behind a souvenir." the voice said.
"How about that puppy that you brought with you?"
Liu Feng's face changed. His hands clenched, he took out his spear.
"Forgive me, senior, but you are now forcing me to fight for my life." Liu Feng grit his teeth.
"Ah! The bravery of young men. Do you really think that you stand a chance against me when you don't even know where I am?" the voice chuckled.
