Chapter 235: The Dark Shadow Appears
As the morning light faded, Liu Feiyang stood at the gate of Wentian Palace.
Xiaobai stood in front of him and bowed slightly: "Since you are in such a hurry to leave, we will not force you to stay. Lady Lingnu is still in seclusion and cannot come out to see you off. Please forgive me."
Liu Feiyang responded indifferently, stretched his neck to look inside, feeling a little melancholy. The little guy might be angry with him as he hadn't come to see him for several days. Now that he was leaving, he didn't come over either.
"Bei Ling..."
Xiaobai's face froze. After the spirit girl went to see the palace master that day, she never came back. She went to ask the palace master, but the princess just smiled and told her that she had sent the spirit girl to other places to do business.
"Young lady, maybe you have been too playful these days, so you didn't come. Sir, don't worry."
Liu Feiyang pursed his lips and said nothing more.
"Okay, I'll be leaving then. When she comes back, tell her that I'll be back to pick her up."
Xiao Bai bowed and said softly, "Yes, I understand."
Liu Feiyang took a look at the Wentian Palace surrounded by fairy mist. It was majestic and grand, with ancient formations carved by great formation masters everywhere. There were clear cranes crying and the red sun rising.
He walked slowly down the stairs, the shadows of the trees around him constantly changing, and soon he reached the foot of the mountain.
Liu Feiyang looked up at the fairy mountain behind him that reached into the sky. He paused silently and was about to walk towards it without saying a word.
Suddenly, several dark shadows rushed in. Liu Feiyang glanced and was instantly shocked.
These men in black all have red lotus tattoos, exactly the same as the group of people on the Jixue Peak.
How did they end up here?
Liu Feiyang's eyes darkened. It was really a case of searching for something in vain, but finally finding it without any effort. Although he still had injuries, he would not let go of this rare opportunity.
Moreover, these people have even extended their claws to the Wentian Palace, so he can't just sit back and watch. He has received favors from the people here, so naturally he has to help.
While his mind was turning, he had quietly concealed his whereabouts and followed carefully.
The black-clothed men who came were much weaker than the last time, so Liu Feiyang followed them with ease. He saw them climb into the Wentian Palace, and it was as if they were walking in an empty place, strolling leisurely as if it was their own back garden.
Liu Feiyang's eyes dimmed slightly, he knew what this meant.
Either the God-Slaying Alliance has some shady relationship with the Wentian Palace, or the God-Slaying Alliance has already reached out to the Wentian Palace and planted their pawns.
No matter which one it is, it is not an optimistic situation.
The man in black hurriedly ran into the bamboo shadows in the backyard of Wentian Palace. Liu Feiyang followed him carefully and hid quietly.
He saw the two of them talking to each other for a while, and suddenly a sentence caught his attention.
"That day Feng Chen was a fool who only cared about women. We told him about the story of Ling Nu and Liu Feiyang a few days ago, but he actually locked Ling Nu up."
The man in black's tone was full of sarcasm, disdain, and gloating.
The leader raised his hand and waved, as if to stop him or to condone him, "Well, since Feng Tianchen is willing to hurt himself, it also saves us a lot of trouble. Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, don't be too proud."
The man in black nodded uneasily: "Yes, I know I was wrong."
"Okay, how are you contacting the disciples down the mountain?"
The man in black sneered and said, "Master, don't worry. The brothers down the mountain are ready to go and can't wait."
The leading man nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Then he took out a emerald green pill from his wide-sleeved Taoist robe and threw it to the man in black. The man in black looked puzzled, as if he didn't know what his master was going to do to him.
"Master, what is this?"
The man raised his lips and said happily, "Tomorrow we will raze Wentian Palace to the ground. Although we have temporarily eliminated the spirit girl, we still have a threat."
The man in black was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"This is the Spiritual Transformation Pill. You managed to get it to Jian Chan to eat."
The man in black looked shocked. He was fine after taking the Spiritual Transformation Pill, but once he activated his spiritual power in battle, his meridians would be blocked and the blood would flow backwards, causing bleeding from all seven orifices and death.
"Yes, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
The man waved his hand gently, "Okay, you can go down."
Seeing that the man in black was about to turn around and leave, Liu Feiyang hurriedly held his breath and watched the black shadow gradually fade away.
Liu Feiyang was shocked and digested what the two men said.
No wonder the spirit girl never showed up again after she rescued him. It seemed like she had met with an accident.
And they said the fifteenth, which is tomorrow...
Wentian Palace is about to face a bloody battle. A light flashed in Liu Feiyang’s mind: Hualing Pill!
No, he must be stopped.
Liu Feiyang looked at the black spot in the distance ahead and immediately mobilized his spiritual power, transforming into a gust of breeze and chasing after it.
The man in black was extremely fast, but unfortunately Liu Feiyang was even faster.
The man in black was seen circling around and around, and finally entered a small bamboo courtyard on the north side of Wentian Palace.
The bamboo courtyard is simply furnished, giving it the feel of a farmhouse on earth.
The man in black quickly hid in the house. Liu Feiyang was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he hid behind a big tree outside the yard and waited for him quietly.
After a while, a person came out of the room.
The man had a delicate face, with pure and clean eyes. He was wearing a linen shirt, but it did not affect his temperament.
Liu Feiyang, who was not far away, frowned. What was going on?
ding ding ding-
The sound of wind chimes means the owner of the house has returned.
The little boy showed joy on his face and ran to the gate to look around.
oops.
The little boy was holding the thief and looked at the person coming with his round, deer-like eyes. Liu Feiyang also began to observe carefully from behind a tree.
As soon as I raised my eyes, I could hardly hide the surprise in my heart.
This is the old man who sent the spirit girl down from the Tianji Fantasy Land. The old man is still energetic, with a hearty smile on his face.
"Why did you come directly outside to pick me up today?"
The little boy smiled shyly and said, "Uncle Jian, come in and have some tea. I made it myself."
The old man laughed heartily and walked straight into the yard with a look of joy on his face.
Liu Feiyang sighed in his heart, this scene is so much like the kind of family happiness that old people on earth hope for.
The children were teasing and making fun of him, and the old man was emitting a warm and lazy feeling.
Alas... it's a pity that the person involved didn't notice that the child who usually took care of himself turned around and crushed the soul-devouring and murderous poison into the tea served to him.
"Uncle Jian, please try it. My skills have improved a lot this time."
The old man stroked his beard with a smile, nodded repeatedly and said yes, and was about to reach out to take it.
Liu Feiyang finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted:
"It's poisonous, don't drink it—"
