The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

“Clang!”

The young man in black fell, and the suspended golden compass’s light instantly dimmed. It dropped weakly onto a rock in the canyon.

Shen Yifeng walked over and picked it up.

He toyed with it for a while, and couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.

“It really is a fine item, but unfortunately, it’s no longer usable.”

At this moment, Luo Yuebai, supporting the weakened Su Jingzhen, also walked out.

The two looked at the corpse of the young man in black, their expressions a bit horrified.

Although the man was undoubtedly dead, he had no visible wounds on him.

The strange power of Shen Yifeng’s demonic sword and the mysterious force it wielded left both Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai once again shaken.

“Master, why do you say it cannot be used? This thing is powerful. Since the owner is dead, it should be an item without a master. Why can’t it be used?”

Hearing Su Jingzhen’s question, Shen Yifeng smiled again and said, “It indeed cannot be used.

This person having a counterfeit of such a high-quality Heavenly Mystery Compass means he must have been quite distinguished among the Heavenly Dragon people. He might have been an exceptionally talented junior.

Such a person typically travels with many protectors, yet he came here alone. It suggests he was here seeking treasure.

Moreover, the treasure he sought would only be known to him among the Heavenly Dragon people.

So, he must have come here quietly, leaving no traces for anyone to find him.

This might actually be a great help for us. With him being so discreet, it will be difficult for the Heavenly Dragon people to locate his death.

Furthermore, this compass must have been cleansed by the genuine Heavenly Mystery Compass.

If we try to use it again, it will certainly be detected by the Heavenly Dragon people who control the genuine compass.”

As Shen Yifeng said this, a hint of seriousness remained on his face.

He continued, “Not being able to use this thing is just a minor issue. After all, we never had it before, so there’s no real regret.

What’s crucial is that I hope my earlier analysis is correct. Otherwise, not just our Evil Moon Sect, but the entire Qingzhou might truly cease to exist.”

Luo Yuebai and Shen Yifeng were once again shaken.

“Master, is it really that serious?” Su Jingzhen swallowed hard.

Although he had the system by his side, his awakening time was still too short, and he couldn’t even completely traverse Qingzhou yet.

How powerful must the forces be to potentially annihilate Qingzhou?

At least, it was beyond his current reach.

After taking a deep breath, Shen Yifeng asked, “What do you think of the strength of the Yan people who came from that warship when Yan Xia awakened the Water Spirit Saint Body?”

As soon as he spoke, the imposing figures of those who came to fetch Yan Xia on that day flashed through Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai’s minds.

The two fell silent.

Shen Yifeng continued, “Our Qingzhou and countless surrounding regions are merely part of the most remote area of the Luo River basin.

The strongest cultivators in the Luo River basin are all concentrated along the banks of the Luo River.

The Yan clan is strong, and the Ji clan is strong, but the Heavenly Dragon people are even stronger!

The Heavenly Dragon people are closest to Zhongzhou in the Luos River region. Their lineage has spread into Zhongzhou and is quite formidable there as well.”

He only briefly shared the information he knew with them but made no mention of his own dealings with Ji Qinghe from the Ji clan, seemingly unwilling to revisit that topic.

Upon hearing Shen Yifeng’s words, Su Jingzhen felt a storm of emotions rise within him but was even more excited.

The information from Shen Yifeng painted a more detailed and comprehensive map in Su Jingzhen’s mind.

He silently murmured to himself, “The stage is indeed large enough for me to make my mark…”

Then he looked at the two of them and said, “The Heavenly Dragon people are indeed powerful, but we can’t just be victims, can we? Since things have developed to this point, let’s go with the flow.

If they do happen to find us, it will be the fate of Qingzhou. Such is the destiny, which cannot be resisted.

But if they never detect us, then that would be best. One day, when our steps take us to the Luo River, we can deal with them thoroughly and wipe out the entire Heavenly Dragon force.”

As Su Jingzhen spoke, his tone was filled with ambition and determination. The aftereffects of Bloodthirst seemed to lessen significantly, and his confidence in Shen Yifeng’s earlier analysis grew.

The fact that the young man in black had such excellent talent but came alone, despite likely having protectors, suggested that he harbored some hidden secret.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed Shen Yifeng to attack him to get their cooperation.

Relying on the Heavenly Mystery Compass, he could have easily escaped, making it difficult for Shen Yifeng to capture him. He was ultimately overconfident in himself and underestimated his enemies.

As for toppling the Heavenly Dragon people, it would indeed become necessary once Su Jingzhen reached the required strength.

The actions of this single young man had already left Su Jingzhen with a poor impression of the entire Heavenly Dragon group.

Just as Su Jingzhen finished speaking, a line of golden text appeared before him again.

【Emotional Connection +15】

【Remaining Points: 1085】

Lu Yuebai’s gaze lingered on Su Jingzhen, and a strange light gleamed in her eyes.

Though Su Jingzhen was currently being supported by her, in her eyes, he seemed much more imposing.

There was a hint of pride in her expression—this was her man…

As for the arrival of the points, Su Jingzhen was not surprised.

Given his performance today, if it hadn’t triggered Luo Yuebai’s triple boost, that would indeed have been unexpected.

At this moment, Shen Yifeng also looked at Su Jingzhen and said with a smile, “It’s good that you have such ambition. But for now, the Heavenly Dragon people are indeed a formidable force to us. Stay vigilant.

If the Heavenly Dragon people ever descend upon us, leave Qingzhou immediately, without hesitation!”

After speaking, Shen Yifeng tossed the counterfeit Heavenly Mystery Compass to Su Jingzhen.

“Although I said it can’t be used, in a dire situation, this thing might save your life. Keep it.

I’ve placed a seal on it, so as long as you don’t deliberately activate it, its aura won’t leak.”

Su Jingzhen took the Heavenly Mystery Compass with a curious expression.

He had witnessed its power earlier. Such a valuable item was not something he would dismiss.

Moreover, he had seen a golden dragon on the compass’s golden shield when the young man in black used it.

When he released his dragon-shaped aura earlier, it was clear that the young man had shown great interest in him and even wanted to recruit him as a servant.

He knew that there might be a connection between these events.

“Thank you, Master!”

Shen Yifeng nodded and said no more.

He walked over to the young man in black’s body, lifted it, and then took to the skies on his sword, heading deeper into Clear Wind Mountain.

The body needed to be properly dealt with.

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but reflect again.

When he first met the young man in black at Peach Blossom Alley’s academy, he had hoped to interact with him.

He had never anticipated that their first real encounter would end in the young man’s death.

After all this time, he still didn’t know the man’s name or his status among the Heavenly Dragon people.

He sighed, “Fate is truly unfathomable. Whether it’s a good fate or a bad one, it’s all wonderfully inexplicable…”
