Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Crown Prince Leaves the Pass

"Master, both of these Taiyin Golden Lotuses have grown for over ten thousand years, fully absorbing the Taiyin Qi within this valley, and the essence of the sun and the moon between heaven and earth." The Evil Spirit King knew its place, even though Chu Feng had promised to share one of the lotuses with it.

It still handed over both Taiyin Golden Lotuses that it had gathered to Chu Feng, allowing Chu Feng to choose first.

As a reincarnation of the Alchemy Venerate, Chu Feng could tell at a glance which one was more suitable for him to refine Elixirs.

After making the choice, Chu Feng tossed one lotus to the Evil Spirit King.

Upon receiving thanks, the Evil Spirit King couldn’t wait to devour it immediately.

The way it ate was quite interesting – turning into a cloud of black fog, it enveloped the entire Golden Lotus before slowly refining and absorbing it.

"Alright, lead the way up ahead, I want to leave the valley!" Carrying the unconscious Pu Fazheng on his back, Chu Feng ordered the Evil Spirit King to lead the way.

Had Chu Feng not subdued the Evil Spirit King, leaving the valley, let alone escaping this abyss, would have been extremely difficult.

Now, the whole Evil Spirit Valley had to revere Chu Feng.

He could naturally leave with ease.

In the future, to others, the Evil Spirit Valley would be a place of great peril, but to Chu Feng, it would be an excellent private domain, equivalent to his backyard.

"Evil Spirit King, with your strength, you could barely contend against an ordinary Sword Saint. Why have you been able to occupy this Evil Spirit Valley for over ten thousand years without being exterminated?" Chu Feng asked out of curiosity.

Logically, the Ten Thousand Sword Sect could have easily sent a Sword Saint to slay the Evil Spirit King.

It had occupied the valley within the domain of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect for over ten thousand years and preyed on the disciples who entered the Evil Spirit Valley. It should have been exterminated long ago.

"The altar deep within the Evil Spirit Valley offers us Evil Spirits protection. Within that abyss, I am immortal and indestructible. Even if gravely injured, I can recover at once. Not just Sword Saints, but even Sword Gods might not be able to kill me."

"Moreover, I am not foolish. Should any formidable character appear, I could lie low in the shadows and remain hidden. The first Sect Master who came to kill me was deceived by an ordinary Evil Spirit that took my place and died, deceiving him completely."

The Evil Spirit King spoke with pride.

"If it weren’t for my impatience and carelessness, I would not have entered your body, nor would I have willingly walked into the Mud Ball Palace. Even if my master had used the Abnormal Fire, he wouldn’t have been able to kill me."

At this point, the Evil Spirit King still seemed somewhat annoyed.

A single misstep would lead to eternal regret.

Because of a moment of negligence, it had been subjugated by Chu Feng and would have to serve him for life.

The ancient altar held an enigmatic power, and Chu Feng always felt that it contained some secret. However, with his currently weak cultivation, investigating that ancient altar was like groping for an elephant in the dark.

It would only be a waste of time.

...

Outside the valley, Han Xiaoying anxiously awaited. Filled with indignation, she disregarded the strict hierarchy of the sect to clash with Mu Kun.

However, Steward Mu Kun was very cunning, keeping his distance. Furthermore, he reasoned that he was merely following orders. Combined with the dissuasion from Han Xiaoying’s master, Elder Zhuang, at the side, Han Xiaoying refrained from acting impulsively.

Because Evil Spirit Valley was so bizarre and dangerous, no matter how much Han Xiaoying pleaded, Elder Zhuang was unwilling to enter the valley to search for Chu Feng.

This was, of course, to be expected. Each elder was haughty and distinguished, their current cultivation and achievements earned through countless years of arduous cultivation. They would certainly not risk their lives for someone unrelated to them.

They naturally wouldn’t agree.

Even if a True Disciple ran into trouble inside the Evil Spirit Valley, they would not be willing to enter. Let alone Chu Feng, a newly admitted ordinary disciple.

Han Xiaoying was extremely worried about Chu Feng’s safety, remaining outside the Evil Spirit Valley and refusing to leave.

As the days passed, her heart also sank to the bottom of the valley.

"If anything happens to my husband, I am willing to risk it all to slay Mu Kun and avenge my husband!" Han Xiaoying gripped her Treasure Sword tightly, her gaze unblinkingly fixed on the exit of the Evil Spirit Valley.

In her dreams, she hoped to see Chu Feng emerge from the valley.

Steward Mu Kun, on the other hand, was grinning ear to ear, dropping by daily for a glance. He knew that this time, he had finally gotten rid of Chu Feng.

He could finally give a satisfactory account to Elder Yang.

...

Deep within the Sword Testing Forest of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, within the Yin Yang Sword Area, a graceful figure shot out swiftly.

This person was dressed in the distinctive clothes of a True Disciple, with handsome features and dazzling eyes that, when swept across, were sharp as a drawn sword, brimming with edge.

Even amidst the dangerous Sword Forest, the young man strolled leisurely and with ease. Sword Qi from the void aimed at him was easily neutralized by his every move.

With each action, nine streaks of red Qi would circulate and appear around his body, as if nine dragons were swirling around him.

"Haha, this secluded cultivation has broadened my understanding of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, bringing about another major breakthrough. By the end of the year, in the competition for the position of the chief brother among True Disciples, I’ve gained an even better chance of winning!"

The young man laughed wildly as he flew away from the Sword Forest.

True Disciples are already core members of the Sect, ranked even above protectors, almost on par with Elders. Yet, the competition between them is equally fierce.

The position of the chief brother, also known as the Chief True Disciple, akin to a Crown Prince of a nation.

Should the Sect Master pass away or abdicate in favor of another, the successor would invariably be the Chief True Disciple.

"Welcome Brother Murong back from secluded cultivation!"

"This servant pays respects to Prince Jianyun, the Crown Prince!"

Outside the Sword Forest, nearly twenty people had been waiting for the young man to emerge. Upon seeing him flying out, they approached to greet and congratulate him.

As it turned out, this young man was Prince Jianyun, Chu Feng’s enemy who had stolen the Nine Yang Sword Veins from him.

The Nine Yang Sword Veins were truly extraordinary. Prince Jianyun was so young, yet he had become a True Disciple and possessed incredible strength. More than half of his achievements could be attributed to the Nine Yang Sword Veins.

Of course, this was inseparable from Prince Jianyun’s own efforts.

Even the most extraordinary geniuses, without diligent cultivation and decades of persistence, would amount to nothing.

Not only did Prince Jianyun possess the Nine Yang Sword Veins, but he also had abundant cultivation resources and sufficient dedication to hardship, hence becoming a True Disciple at such a young age was within reason.

"At ease!"

"During my secluded cultivation, has anything significant occurred within the Sect?" Prince Jianyun asked his Sword Slaves. A True Disciple could have up to ten Sword Slave spots, truly surrounded by a crowd of servants.

If you add the ordinary disciples, advanced level disciples, stewards, and others, who are attached to them, they absolutely command overwhelming power within the Sect.

"The Sect recently admitted a genius disciple named Shangguan Bei, who during the Sword Forest assessment, was said to have received a sword inheritance even more advanced than the Ten Thousand Sword Technique. It even alarmed the Sect Master, who is in secluded cultivation at the gateway to life and death, and a Sword Intent was decreed. According to the Sect’s Elders, Shangguan Bei may have received the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill transmission..."

The ten Sword Slaves continuously reported to Prince Jianyun about the happenings within the Sect over the past year.
