Chapter 142 1 will achieve great success
"Old Ghost Teng, I didn't expect that your cultivation has reached such a terrifying level. It's amazing! A few years ago, when I saw your sickly and dying appearance, I thought your time was up. It seems that all this is just a disguise!" Old Ghost Wang said with his eyes wide open and a look of astonishment on his face.
"Haha, Old Ghost Wang, I pretended to be like that on purpose. I originally just wanted to confuse the old guy from the Dan family and let him let down his guard. I didn't expect that he would leave first so quickly. But, you are not bad either. If you could successfully refine that set of armor, maybe I really would not be your opponent! What a pity, now that you have become like this, I am afraid you will leave your life here!" Old Ghost Teng said with a smug smile.
"Hmph! How did you know that the Hong family was making armor?" Old Ghost Wang asked gritting his teeth.
“Hahaha, my Teng family has been working hard in Danxue Country for many years. I have secret hunters planted in every force. You might as well guess who in your Wang family was instigated by me to rebel! Hahaha…” Old Ghost Teng laughed wildly, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.
This is the third day that Feng Huan has arrived at the abandoned courtyard. The battle for power has also lasted for two days and two nights. Now it has come to the most critical moment, and the showdown between the two sides' strongest combat power is about to decide the outcome.
The ancestors of the two families had been fighting each other in the air above the imperial city for two days. At this time, the ancestor of the Wang family seemed to be at the end of his strength. The ancestor of the Teng family was in a good mood and was not in a hurry to kill the other party. Instead, he wanted to enjoy the pleasure of stepping on his old rival.
Feng Huan had not been idle these past two days, but had read through all the miscellaneous ancient books that he had taken out of the palace. He was also lucky enough to have seen a description of the phantom filament in an inconspicuous part of an ancient book.
The phantom silk worms are produced in a place called Zhuyao Wilderness on the edge of Fengmo Continent. If you want to eliminate the larvae in your body, you must use the cocoons shed by the newly born larvae as a medicine, and combine it with elixirs to get rid of the worms.
"Zhuyao Wilderness is really far. Let's go there after we meet Dan Miaoman! I will always feel uneasy if I don't get rid of this bug." Feng Huan murmured to himself.
Then, he unfolded a map of the entire Demon Sealing Continent that he had obtained from the imperial palace. This map showed the entire Demon Sealing Continent in detail, allowing him to fully and intuitively understand the land where he was born for the first time.
The entire Fengmo Continent is vast, and most of the area is uninhabited mountainous forests. Dense forests and steep mountains constitute the main body of this land. In the central area of the Shangming Empire, there is a prosperous city and farmland, which is the center of human civilization. The other four countries are distributed around, each occupying a piece of territory.
However, the actual control area of each country is not vast, and there are only a few important cities. These cities are far apart and transportation is inconvenient, which makes the connection between countries relatively rare. This decentralized pattern also leads to certain restrictions on communication and cooperation within the Demon Sealing Continent.
The Demon Sealing Continent is surrounded by an endless ocean with turbulent waves and no boundaries. There is no road leading to the outside world in these seas, as if a natural barrier separates the Demon Sealing Continent from the outside world. No one knows where the end of the ocean is, nor what the outside world looks like.
Some people have tried to explore the sea, hoping to find a passage to the outside world. But without exception, they encountered an invisible and powerful force blocking them. No matter whether they were highly skilled monks or ordinary people, they could not break through this barrier. This mysterious force made people confused and frightened, and also made people curious and yearning for the world outside the Demon Sealing Continent.
This information all comes from the memoirs of a deceased senior of the Dan family. This senior had reached the peak of his cultivation and could not make any further progress. He wanted to risk his life to go out to sea, but in the end he returned empty-handed and could only die in the palace. Before his death, he was still upset about not being able to see the outside world and not knowing whether his cultivation could be improved. He was even a little unwilling.
"It turns out that it's not that easy to get out, no wonder!" Feng Huan couldn't help but think of what the Lord of Destiny Chen Mingdong said, that he could take them away from the Demon Sealing Continent. He didn't think much of it at the time, but now it seems that he is really ignorant and arrogant.
"The ancestors of the Wang family and the Hong family have been killed. Do you still want to resist?" At this time, a loud shout came from the ancestor of the Teng family above his head.
The situation at this time was already very clear, the ancestors of the Wang family and the Hong family had been defeated, which meant that they had lost their most powerful backing. However, the remaining Wang family and the Hong family did not give up resistance and still insisted on fighting.
The ancestor of the Teng family looked at the situation below and was secretly proud of himself. He knew that now was the time to show his majesty and power. So, he said loudly: "If you are not from the Wang family or the Hong family, as long as you stop now, I promise to forgive you. If you kill people from the two families, I can consider accepting you into my Teng family." This sentence is both a promise and a temptation, aimed at attracting those cultivators who are not from the Wang family or the Hong family to join the royal family.
Hearing this, many non-Teng family cultivators began to hesitate. They knew that if they continued to fight against the Teng family, it might bring greater risks. And if they joined the Teng family, they might get better treatment and status. Therefore, some people began to stop attacking and surrender to the Teng family.
Of course, not everyone was willing to succumb to the pressure from the Teng family. There were still a few cultivators loyal to the Wang family and the Hong family who chose to continue fighting, firmly believing that their family would not be easily destroyed. Although these people were few in number, their determination and courage made others admire them.
At this time, the ancestor of the Teng family spoke again: "If you dare to resist again, I promise to hunt you down until your entire clan is exterminated?" This sentence was full of threats and intimidation, which made people feel scared. The purpose of the ancestor of the Teng family was very clear, which was to completely eliminate any voices of resistance in this way.
Faced with the threat from the Teng family ancestor, those who were originally hesitant outsiders laid down their weapons and expressed their willingness to surrender. The staunch supporters of the Wang family and the Hong family became even more angry, as they believed that the Teng family ancestor's behavior was too overbearing and cruel. However, in the face of absolute strength, their anger could not change anything.
In the end, most of the non-family cultivators had stopped, and some even turned against their former masters. Of course, there were also a few diehards of the two families who were still making their last struggle. This battle was drawing to a close, and the fate of the Wang and Hong families seemed to be sealed.
However, this was destined to be a last-ditch struggle, and nothing could be changed. Soon, the fighting in the city became less and less, and when the head of the Wang family was finally killed, everything returned to peace. The entire imperial city was instantly dead silent, and in the silence, everyone could only hear the sound of blood flowing on the streets and the groans of those who had not yet died.
"From now on, Danxue State will officially change its owner, and my Teng family will become the new generation of the royal family!"
After a brief period of calm, the ancestor of the Teng family officially announced his entry into the palace.
Feng Huan also walked out of the abandoned courtyard and came to the street. In addition to the blood on the ground that made him want to devour it, he could also feel the evil spirit in the corpses and the murderous aura in the city, which were absorbed by his soul shadow.
"It seems that my growth is inseparable from killing. This is the path I am destined to take in the future!"
Feng Huan kept walking around the city, greedily absorbing and strengthening himself. At this time, as long as he didn't take action, no one would care about him, and no one would notice his abnormality.
He also discovered that, perhaps because there was too much blood under his feet, even though he did not practice the Water Creates All Things Art, some of the blood energy turned into blood mist and was absorbed into his blood.
"I wonder if it's possible to use martial arts to transform the blood in a living person's body into blood mist that I can absorb, so that I can slowly destroy the opponent without him noticing!" Feng Huan suddenly had a crazy idea, and he himself felt that it was unlikely.
"Mr. Bing, where are you now? I'm waiting for you at the agreed place." A message from Dan Miaoman suddenly came from the Star Ring.
"I'll be there soon, please wait!"
Feng Huan had already walked around the city and was almost done.
Back at the abandoned courtyard, Feng Huan handed over the alchemy furnace, some medicinal resources, and the bodies of Dan Miaoman's parents and relatives. Dan Miaoman threw herself on the bodies of her parents and brothers and cried bitterly, then thanked Feng Huan again with red eyes.
"I will leave once the Imperial City returns to normal order. Take care of yourself!"
"Because of the information you provided, I have received special care from the Teng family. Now I have entered the upper echelons of the Teng family. They will arrange for me to serve in the court in the future. So as long as I don't reveal my identity, there should be no problem, and I will have no shortage of resources in the future."
After a pause, Dan Miaoman rubbed her hands and said a little stiffly: "Actually, if you want, you can stay. I just need to tell them that you risked your life to find out such important information. I believe I will treat you well!"
"No need. I have other things to do. I can't stay here for long." Feng Huan understood her thoughts a little, but this was not what he wanted. "I have explained almost everything. You should go back first to avoid arousing other people's suspicion."
"Okay then!" Seeing that Feng Huan was unmoved, Dan Miaoman had no choice but to leave.
"Will you come to the imperial city again?" She turned back and asked again when she reached the door.
"If there is no special situation, I probably won't come again!" Feng Huan didn't want to drag it out, it would be better to just give up the idea directly.
"So this is the last time we see each other!" Dan Miaoman walked out the door, muttering softly, "No, if you don't come here to find me, I can leave here to find you. As long as my cultivation is high enough, what's wrong with traveling all over the Demon Sealing Continent?"
When Dan Miaoman was most helpless in her life, she met Feng Huan, a gentleman and a talented young man who helped her in times of crisis without asking for anything in return. How could she not be moved?
