Chapter 546: Chapter 537: Sacred Sword Fragment?

The Chu Family elder led Shi Feng through the night sky, passing over one tall building after another, then a bare, plantless hill appeared in Shi Feng’s field of view.

The hill stood behind the cluster of Chu Family buildings, and then the elder pointed toward the mountain and said, "Sir, over there is the Sealing Land."

"That place? The Sealing Land!" Shi Feng’s gaze fixated on the bare hill. There, he truly did not sense any signs of life; it appeared like a Death Mountain, utterly silent, where even the vegetation had died off.

"Let’s go take a closer look!" Shi Feng said.

"Yes!" After the elder responded, he flew toward the hill once more, and quickly, both of them arrived above the hill. Looking down at the hill below, Shi Feng felt a mysterious force; doubtless, this was the Sealing Power laid down by the ancestors of the Chu Family, as previously mentioned by the Chu Family Patriarch.

"Is this the entrance?" At this moment, Shi Feng turned his head and looked at the elder beside him to ask.

"To enter, it is indeed through here, but if the key to the Sealing Land left by our Chu Family ancestors is not present, the gate will not appear," the elder replied carefully, afraid of saying anything wrong and angering this formidable person.

"Having lived for so long, do you know exactly what is sealed inside here?" Shi Feng asked again.

"This, aside from the successive Family Heads who hold the key of our Chu Family, no one else in our Chu Family knows what is sealed inside," the elder continued.

After each response, the elder would maintain a cautious and careful demeanor, watching Shi Feng to make sure he did not suddenly strike and kill him.

Especially now that he had brought Shi Feng to this place, and having hardly any understanding of the Forbidden Land’s seal, he felt like he was of no use to Shi Feng anymore.

According to how these stories usually went, in cases like this, he should expect Shi Feng to make his move. The elder even remembered a time, years ago, a similar situation where he had taken a Martial Sect Realm Martial Artist to a secret place, and when the martial artist was no longer of any use, he killed him.

The elder even remembered that at that time, killing that person had given him a rush of pleasure.

After finishing that sentence, the elder tensed his body, waiting for Shi Feng to decide his fate, which now hung on Shi Feng’s thoughts.

Yet at this moment, Shi Feng continued to stare at the hill below, temporarily ignoring the elder, a fact which made the elder even more anxious; his breathing became hurried, and his heart rate quickened.

After gazing for a while, Shi Feng slightly turned his head to look at the elder beside him. That look from Shi Feng startled the elder; his body involuntarily shook, covered in cold sweat, and he even cried inwardly, "Ah! My life is over!"

However, then he heard Shi Feng speak indifferently, "Alright, you may leave."

"Ah!" The elder, upon hearing Shi Feng say "you may leave," felt his heart violently quiver, reminding him of the day he had uttered the same sentence before he killed that Nine-star Martial Sect Realm Martial Artist.

Then, as that man turned around, he remained in that secret place forever beneath his own devastating blow.

Was it really retribution coming for him?

As these thoughts raced through his mind, the elder’s knees suddenly bent, and he knelt down in the Void towards Shi Feng, pleading once more, "Sir... Please spare me this old life. I... I really don’t want to die! Please spare my old life!"

The elder’s face showed a mixture of misery and begging as he spoke to Shi Feng.

Looking at the elder kneeling in the Void and pleading with him, Shi Feng showed an impatient expression. "When did I ever say that I would take your old life? If you don’t want to live, however, I wouldn’t mind sending you on your way."

"Ah? No no no! No, sir!" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, the elder hurriedly waved his hands, exclaiming: "Sir... You really won’t kill me?"

"Get lost!" Shi Feng coldly snarled.

"Ah ah! Yes! Yes, sir! I’m going, sir! I’m going!" Immediately, the elder lied down in the Void and began to roll, actually tumbling toward the distance.

After the elder had rolled a considerable distance in the Void, looking back disheveled, he discovered the ruthless man indeed did not chase after nor intend to kill him. At that moment, Shi Feng paid no attention to the elder and looked down at the hill again.

Seeing Shi Feng’s demeanor, the elder finally let out a sigh of relief, descending quietly to the ground. Farther from the ground, his mood turned to relief. Today! I didn’t die! I’ve lived yet another day! It’s time to find a few dames to calm my nerves.

...

Lowering his head and gazing at the hill below, Shi Feng finally made a move; with a flex of his fingers, he flicked out a cluster of blood-colored flames toward the bald, deathly silent hill below.

But just as the cluster of blood-colored flames was only a few meters from the hill, suddenly, the Void above the hill emitted ripples like water, and the cluster of blood-colored flames Shi Feng had sent down vanished instantly.

Right after, the ripple-like motion disappeared as well.

"What strong power!" Sensing the ripple-like motion that had just appeared, Shi Feng murmured in a low voice. That power was much stronger than he was now.

However, at that moment, the Source of All Things, which had remained silent ever since the occurrence with the Sacred Flame, suddenly spoke out, "Kid, there’s a Sacred Sword Fragment below!"

"Sacred Sword Fragment!" Shi Feng was startled upon hearing these four words; his expression changed, and his right hand shone with a blood-colored light as the Bloodthirsty Sword appeared in his hand.

As expected, the very moment the Bloodthirsty Sword appeared in Shi Feng’s hand, it began to quiver slightly and resonated, similar to several previous occasions when it had sensed fragments of the sword.

Then, Shi Feng’s gaze shifted from the Bloodthirsty Sword and looked down at the hill below, the Sealing Land of the Chu Family.

Why would there be a Sacred Sword Fragment here? Could it be that this so-called Sealing Land has something to do with the Blood Pattern Tribe?

But no matter what, the biggest problem now was that even though he knew there was a fragment of the Bloodthirsty Sword below, that powerful and mysterious Sealing Power was in the way, and he simply had no way to get down!

With his current power, he had no way to break that mysterious Sealing Power.

Should he just wait here for the father and daughter of the Chu Family to come out? But they had entered to take refuge, and who knew when they would come out again!
