Chapter 637: Chapter 638: Visiting to Ask for a Match

Return to the Ruins Heaven was indeed an ancient relic—within such ancient ruins, it was highly probable that many opportunities awaited.

This chance encounter was even more vast than the ancient cave dwellings in the Void Sea; this was an opportunity that Chu Fengmian must strive for.

Even the Night Heavenly Sovereign was seeking an opportunity to overcome his life-and-death ordeal.

Should the Night Heavenly Sovereign overcome the life-and-death ordeal first, it was very likely that Chu Fengmian would face catastrophic disaster.

Thus, Chu Fengmian also needed to pass the life-and-death ordeal before the Night Heavenly Sovereign.

By then, not to mention sweeping across the entire Beimang Academy, but among his generation of disciples, he would have no rivals.

"Chu Fengmian, have you come out?"

As Chu Fengmian pondered, Han Yueli slowly opened her eyes and spoke to him.

"What did the old Ancestor Xuanbei tell you?"

Han Yueli was not too surprised about the sudden appearance of Chu Fengmian’s revered master.

Back in the days of Martial Sheng Kingdom, Han Yueli knew that Chu Fengmian had a master who was a Saint of Xuanbei.

She just never imagined that the former Saint of Xuanbei would turn out to be one of the old ancestors of Beimang Academy.

To think that a place as small as Martial Sheng Kingdom once had an ancestor who had stepped onto the Life and Death Platform was indeed shocking; this magical encounter was precisely what Chu Fengmian had stumbled upon.

"My master told me something about Return to the Ruins Heaven and also about going to Martial King City to participate in the Martial Arts Competition."

Chu Fengmian said.

To Han Yueli, he had no reason to hide anything, directly revealing all the details of the conversation with Han Yueli.

This included the adventures Chu Fengmian had in the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s cave dwelling and the inheritance from the Beimang Saint Sovereign within the sacred halls.

However, regarding the Beimang Saint Sovereign being none other than Chu Fengmian’s senior brother Jian Ling, Chu Fengmian still kept it hidden.

This matter was of great significance—if word got out now that Chu Fengmian was a disciple of the Sword Dao Master,

people from the seven major sects would also catch him at all costs.

Telling Han Yueli would only bring her unnecessary trouble. At present, Chu Fengmian was the only one privy to this secret.

"Ancient Dragon Emperor, Beimang Saint Sovereign, I did not expect your fortunes to be no less than mine," Han Yueli couldn’t help but exclaim.

"I previously arrived in the Beimang Holy Domain and accidentally entered a Holy Land, where I unexpectedly obtained a Xuanhan Stone Orchid, which triggered most of the power within my body. I smoothly overcame the life-and-death ordeal and acquired my current strength."

"I thought my rare encounter was already significant, only to find it pales in comparison to yours, even to the point of qualifying for the inheritance of the Beimang Saint Sovereign."

Xuanhan Stone Orchid.

This name was naturally not unfamiliar to Chu Fengmian, for the Xuanhan Stone Orchid was one of the sacred medicines of heaven and earth.

Compared to the Millennium Fire Lotus that Chu Fengmian once got, its grade was much higher.

Its cold attribute suited Han Yueli perfectly, triggering her Xuanhan physique’s countless foundational powers, which allowed her strength to surge dramatically. It could be considered the ideal encounter for Han Yueli.

No wonder Han Yueli had passed the life-and-death ordeal shortly after entering the academy; it turned out to be because of this rare encounter.

But compared to Chu Fengmian’s encounters, this Xuanhan Stone Orchid was nothing—just the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword alone was enough to drive countless old codgers mad with desire.

However, the encounters Chu Fengmian obtained, were all struggled for with his life on the line. In the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s cave, Chu Fengmian nearly perished at the hands of the Immortal Demon Lord.

It was only by good fortune that Chu Fengmian survived and gained all he had now.

As the two were conversing, suddenly Han Yueli’s expression changed slightly, showing a hint of annoyance.

"What’s going on?"

Seeing the sudden change in Han Yueli’s expression, Chu Fengmian asked aloud.

"It’s an annoying guy, Sikong Hong from the martial arts family, Sikong. I ran into him by chance in the northern region, and this person has always wanted to pursue me, to propose marriage to me. I’ve already rejected him, and now he has come again,"

Han Yueli said with a somewhat ugly expression.

"The elder from the Sikong family has a good relationship with my master, Elder Bing Li, so it’s not good to make a clean break. I didn’t expect him to actually come again, finding my master directly to propose to me."

Martial arts family? Sikong Hong?

Upon hearing this name, Chu Fengmian sneered.

If it involved the Sikong family, Chu Fengmian truly had some fate with them. Previously, Chu Fengmian had managed to obtain the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword and enter the cave dwelling of the Ancient Dragon Emperor, all thanks to Sikong Xuan. In the end, when Sikong Xuan confronted Chu Fengmian, he was directly blasted to death by Chu Fengmian.

He hadn’t expected that now someone from the Sikong family would come looking for death.

Han Yueli looked at Chu Fengmian and spoke.

"My master is asking me to return, what should I do?"

"I’ll go back with you,"

Chu Fengmian said coldly, his expression growing much more somber.

"I want to see who dares to set their sights on my woman!"

Although Chu Fengmian’s words were grim, they warmed Han Yueli’s heart when she heard them.

"Let’s go."

The two turned into streaks of light and vanished instantly, weaving through the Beimang Holy Land.

The Beimang Holy Land was vast, no less so than a large continent. After flying for half an hour, a massive mountain finally appeared ahead of them.

This mountain was fortified with countless prohibitions and was clearly the retreat of Han Yueli’s master, Elder Bing Li. Although it was not as perfect as the abode of Xuan Bei, Chu Fengmian’s own master, it was also meticulously refined.

The streaks of light from Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli slowly approached the mountain, finally alighting on its peak.

On this mountain, there was only one palace.

The two waited outside the palace for a while until a figure emerged slowly from within.

It was a woman who looked to be around twenty years old, very young, slightly older than Han Yueli. However, the aura emanating from her seemed to bear a sense of transcending life and death.

Compared to Lu Qianren, her aura seemed very close, both being at the first layer of the Life and Death Platform, the state of Shattering Destiny, but she appeared to be greener, looking like she had only recently broken through to the realm of Shattering Destiny.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Fengmian assessed the strength of Elder Bing Li.

This Elder Bing Li cultivated an ice-related cultivation technique, very similar to Han Yueli.

"Disciple, you’re back,"

Elder Bing Li said, seeing Han Yueli and speaking joyfully.

"Where did you rush off to all of a sudden?"

"Master, I..."

Han Yueli’s face froze at Elder Bing Li’s words, seeming to struggle with an explanation.

She had rushed off upon learning that Chu Feng was heading to the Life and Death Platform on a rescue mission, having left in such haste that she hadn’t left any explanation.

"Greetings to Elder Bing Li,"

It was Chu Fengmian who suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence.
