Chương 239: Long Feng's shock

Long Feng stood before the large stone pillar in the center of the graveyard, staring at the names as though he wanted to engrave them into his heart. It's been two days since Hua Liuli left and he always came here every morning to stand and stare at the names quietly. His cultivation was almost fully recovered and he even had a feeling that he had reached the very limit of the Yang realm. Once he recovered, he could make his breakthrough to the spirit realm at last.

Hearing the faint sounds of footsteps approaching behind him, Long Feng smiled without looking back.

"What brings Miss Li to the graveyard today?" Li Yue'er slowly walked close and stood beside him staring at the stone pillar as well.

"Nothing. Just came to check up on you." Was her soft reply. Long Feng smiled and didn't say anything. After a few minutes of silence, Li Yue'er broke the silence"Are you okay?"

"I'm not sure myself. Some pain can't be forgotten I guess" Long Feng shrugged and replied.

"He wouldn't want to see you like this" Li Yue'er said again, staring at Yan jian's name on the pillar. Long Feng's smile froze, then he chuckled"He wouldn't. But he isn't here again. So it hardly matters" Li Yue'er slowly traced her ring and a brown gourd appeared in her hand. A faint ripple of soul energy spread out with it's appearance.

"Here. Someone asked me to give this to you" Li Yue'er extended her fair hand and gave the gourd to Long Feng. Long Feng was a bit confused. Why would someone's want to give him a wine gourd? But when he sent his perception Into it, he was shocked frozen. Inside the gourd was a small space similar to a void ring. And in this space was a flaming humanoid figure that looked like it was sleeping.

"Brother Yan jian!" Long Feng's hands shook and he felt a rush of excitement. But then he quickly controlled his emotions.

"Miss Li, who gave this to you?" Long Feng asked curiously. Until now, he still didn't know what exactly happened back then. And he never tried to find out. But right now, he was filled with curiosity at what happened.

"It was a man dressed in white. He was…" Li Yue'er paused then blushed a bit and continued "very handsome. And very powerful too. Incomprehensibly so" She went ahead to give as detailed a description as she could on Wu Kong. Long Feng's eyes narrowed as he already realized that she was referring to his utterly unreliable master, Wu Kong.

'so he did appear? Was he the on who saved us? Long Feng was honestly surprised that Wu Kong actually intervened, but then again, it wasn't that surprising. He already had that idea that it was Wu Kong who decided to save them, but Li Yue'er's words confirmed it. But what she said next made his brain to go blank"He fought you after you lost control. We didn't see the details but he later appeared and you were unconscious. That's when he reformed Yan jian's soul and…"

"You said he fought me? I lost control?!" Long Feng interrupted, his face filled with shock and disbelief. Li Yue'er was a bit startled. She thought that Long Feng knew everything that happened and he simply didn't want to speak about it so no one brought it up. But from his reaction, it seemed that he had no idea what exactly transpired that day.

"Miss Li, can you tell me everything that happened? I don't remember a thing" Long Feng calmed his racing emotions and asked slowly. He really needed to know what Li Yue'er was talking about and what exactly occured after he lost consciousness.

Li Yue'er nodded and began to narrate everything that happened, from him taking old Gan's attacks like they were nothing, his gray eyes and the mark on his forehead, scattering the lightning clouds in the sky with a word and tearing a rift in the sky, killing old Gan with a glance, Wu Kong's appearance, his conversation with Wu Kong and their disappearance only to reappear a few minutes later with him unconscious.

Long Feng listened to her, his heart pounding in pure disbelief. When she spoke of the mark on his forehead, his mind automatically went to the three ridiculously large dragons in his Dantian. He couldn't believe that he actually killed a peak deity with a single glance and tore a rift in the sky with a word. It all sounded utterly ridiculous. And when he heard his conversation with Wu Kong, it all sounded like they were speaking in another language entirely.

He knew of Wu Kong's master who should be dead, but what was the Chaos Spirit? Heaven's Son? Prime? All of these sounded utterly bizarre. Then the tone and confidence with which he spoke to Wu Kong. That was nothing like him. At least, he lacked that confidence. At the end of Li Yue'er's narration, Long Feng was silent for a long time, digesting the unbelievable things he just heard. If he was to be honest and rational, then he shouldn't believe this mythical story.

But then he personally knew that Wu Kong was an out Of this world existence. He could only believe this ridiculous story and bury his shock.

"He just left? Did he say anything else?" Long Feng asked, curious about whether Wu Kong had truly left this time. Li Yue'er shook her head"Nothing. Just the gourd" she replied. Long Feng gently held the gourd and stared at it with great joy in his eyes. Yan jian hadn't died! That was the only thing that mattered. Or more precisely, he did die but his soul was reformed by Wu Kong. The ability to revive a dead soul… Long Feng was floored by the extent of Wu Kong's unfathomable strength.

He was completely beyond human comprehension. Reading thoughts, reviving a dead… these were straight up impossible for normal cultivators. And then realizing that he actually fought such an unfathomable person when he lost control, Long Feng didn't even know what to feel.

"I shouldn't have fallen unconscious at all back then. And there's the mark on my forehead… my losing control must have to do with those three dragons in my Dantian." But then, nothing seemed to be making sense again. What were they? How could they grant him such ridiculous power? How was this all connected to Wu Kong and him?

"Forget it. I can't understand anything. Master definitely has a connection to all these. He will give me an explanation later" he decided. No matter how hard he pushed his brain, nothing seemed to be making any sense at all. But Wu Kong must know what exactly was going on, or at least the gist of it. He owed Long Feng an explanation already. But before he met Wu Kong whom he couldn't even meet without the latter revealing himself, Long Feng had something else to do.

"You really don't remember anything?" Li Yue'er glanced at him and asked. Long Feng shook his head gently. If it wasn't her telling him all these, he wouldn't have even believed it at all.

"Then it really wasn't you…" Li Yue'er muttered. Whenever she recalled the godly power Long Feng wielded back then, she couldn't stop the shivering in her soul. Especially the feeling of approaching death when his gray eyes stared at her. At that moment, she really thought she would also die. And no matter what, the thought of dying by Long Feng's hand was quite… disheartening. Although she already thought that he couldn't possibly be the one. Yet she couldn't explain what else occurred.

If it wasn't him, who was it then? And hearing Long Feng's confirmation made her heart to feel relieved. Since he didn't remember anything, then he wasn't the one who almost killed them all. In that case, it was better to forget that memory. The two of them went silent for a few minutes again, then Long Feng spoke with a chuckle"We used to be four or three of us together. Now, there's just two of us left." He couldn't help but feel melancholic.

The four of them hasn't been together for very long, but they had all gotten used to being together, having each other's backs. Who would have expected that one of them would be reduced to a comatose soul while another would leave the continent. Now, just two of them were left. Li Yue'er sighed softly but didn't reply.

"Actually, if Miss Li also has anywhere better to be, you should leave. It isn't safe to remain here again. In fact, if he's still within the Yihua clan, then I doubt if I'll be participating in the hundred continent meeting this time." Long Feng continued seriously. That young master Liu was too frightening in every way. His background was the limit of this world already, his talent was shocking, he had two peak imperial realm masters as maids…

And even without the two peak imperial masters, he himself was a rank one imperial realm master. And with his background, the skills he cultivated were definitely the very peak. Hell, he could very likely be cultivating a manual already. If that was the case, then his combat power wouldn't be as simple as rank one or two imperial realm. In this weak continent, he was invincible. Probably, fighting a rank five imperial realm master wouldn't be hard for him.

With all these, and with the fact that he has set his sights on Li Yue'er's beauty while wanting Long Feng dead, then they couldn't risk running into him. He could kill Long Feng without any scruples and take Li Yue'er with him. No one in the continent would dare to stop him if he wanted to kill anyone, even if it was a descendant of the Yihua clan itself. Li Yue'er understood Long Feng's intentions, but she merely gave him a sideways glance.

"Are you trying to chase me away too?" Long Feng smiled awkwardly"Miss Li must be joking. Why would I want to chase you away? But you're different from me. You have nothing holding you down here. You can leave the continent if you so wish. With your strength, going to a mid ranked continent wouldn't be hard. You'll be absolutely safe there." He replied.

"You're right. I have nothing holding me down. But if I leave, who knows what reckless things you'll do without anyone to watch you?" Li Yue'er rolled her eyes and said softly. Long Feng was quite frankly speechless.

"I do reckless things?" He asked with raised eyebrows.

"Not much before. But now, you're filled with rage. You might seem calm but you're not exactly in the right state of mind. You could do something reckless, yes" Li Yue'er replied calmly. Long Feng stared at her visage, speechless. Then he smiled.

"Actually, Miss Li is right. I might not be thinking straight right now""J-just call me Li Yue'er" Li Yue'er finally couldn't remain silent at the constant Miss Li this, Miss Li that. Why didn't he call Hua Liuli in the same way?

"Um… alright then. You can stay Miss…Li Yue'er" actually saying her name made Long Feng to feel a little bit weird.

"What are you going to do now" Li Yue'er asked softly. Long Feng seriously pondered a bit before he replied"First, I need to raise my cultivation. Once I fully recover In two days, I'll immediately break through to the spirit realm. Then we'll head to the Yihua clan. If it really isn't safe, then I would have no choice but to sit out this hundred continent meeting and find other alternatives to reach the mainland" This was Long Feng's plan right now. The most pressing issue was his cultivation.

He was already at the limit of the Yang realm and he could feel the spirit realm was close already. He just needed to take that final step and breakthrough. After that, it would be time to return to the Yihua clan. If that young master Liu was still there, then the hundred continent meeting would have to be missed. It wasn't worth it to risk his life. Although he truly hoped the young man had left.

Even if just for that day, because missing the hundred continent meeting would close the greatest chance of him leaving this continent. He would have to find other ways, which would undoubtedly be very difficult. Li Yue'er nodded silently. She didn't have anything better to do anyways. Her cultivation was increasing even if she didn't actively cultivate, which was something that confused even her. And with no where else to go, staying with Long Feng was the only thing she could do.

"It's getting late. We should return" Long Feng glanced up at the sun and said. Li Yue'er nodded and they left the silent graveyard, walking slowly back to the Long clan.
