Chapter 732: Chapter 725: Reunion with an Old Friend

Following a mountain’s stone path, a group of people reached a mansion surrounded by mountains. Not only was it encircled by lofty mountains and forests, but a towering defensive wall also stood around the mansion’s perimeter, with specially hired mercenaries patrolling it.

Seeing this secluded mansion deep in the mountains, Hu Daoke swallowed and looked at Li Si, "Brother Li, if we’ve done anything wrong, you could just tell us. Don’t drag us silently into a prison."

"Prison? This is our secret base!" Li Si rebuked him with a glance, speaking in disbelief.

However, what Hu Daoke said was true. The imposing wall standing amidst the forest did unintentionally provoke thoughts of a prison.

The carriage reached the end of the stone path, and two mercenaries holding automatic rifles promptly greeted them. After Li Si showed his credentials, they stepped back and signaled for the heavy iron gate to open.

Upon passing through the iron gate, the carriage came to the mansion’s interior, which was unlike the exterior in every conceivable way. The entire mansion was situated on very flat ground, and not many trees were in sight - it was practically all lawns and flower bushes.

According to Li Si, it was originally meant for the cultivation of high-value crops, but ever since Durman’s collaboration with the Headquarters, the interior changed to lawns and flower bushes.

The mansion was surrounded by a towering wall. If one wanted to peep at what was inside, the only possible way was from high nearby mountains. However, Li Si indicated that these nearby mountaintops were also guarded by troops to ensure absolute secrecy.

"Damn, what kind of secret is hidden here?" Upon seeing this situation, Cheng Ziang couldn’t help but comment.

The carriage arrived at an open space, and Li Si was the first to alight, motioning for everyone else to follow. Seeing this, several Earth staff members on the open ground came to greet Li Si respectfully.

At the centre of the open ground was a small hill around ten meters high that was very natural in appearances. According to Li Si, this mini-mountain had been there since the establishment of the mansion. They were too lazy to get rid of it and kept it as part of the scenery instead.

"Where has that old guy gone?" Li Si looked around and then asked a staff member.

"Oh, he just flew up the mountain. Should we ask him to come down?" the staff member asked.

"Hurry and bring him down!" Li Si nodded and said.

Upon receiving Li Si’s command, several staff members ran up to the front of the mini-mountain and started shouting for someone. Accompanied by their calls, a tall figure jumped down from the peak of the mini-mountain and landed firmly in front of them.

Seeing this, everyone widened their eyes in surprise. The height was over ten meters! Although there was magic in the Otherworld, a person falling from such a height could still die. They only knew that Feng could do that, mainly because the magic stored in her body could resist the impact of falling. If it were anyone else, they would have died instantly from the fall.

The person landed safely with no apparent injuries from the fall, gradually stood up, and towered over everyone like an iron tower. He was even taller than the members of the Advance Team.

Seeing the newcomer’s face, the members of the Advance Team were extremely excited. Cheng Ziang was particularly overjoyed and couldn’t help yelling, "Master!"

"Nice to see you all again!" The newcomer showed a hearty smile at Cheng Ziang and greeted everyone.

The newcomer was none other than Cheng Ziang’s nominal master and also the Continent’s No. 1 Swordsman, Yalunte Burlingchi.

"I didn’t expect to see you here, Mr. Sword Saint!" Luoer exclaimed happily.

"It’s been a while, and you’re still so polite, little elf." Yalunte said with a grin.

"Ah, I am..." Luoer hurried to explain.

"I get it, I get it. You little elves are always so serious." Yalunte waved his hand dismissively.

"Brother, we finally meet again. Now I have someone to drink with!" Hu Daoke excitedly walked up and hugged Yalunte’s arm.

"Oh, no problem at all. We won’t stop until we’re drunk tonight!" Yalunte replied happily.

"You still have a test tomorrow. What are you thinking of drinking for!" Li Si reprimanded without hesitation.

"Let me take just a bit, don’t disgrace me in front of everyone." Yalunte pleaded playfully.

"You’ve lost all your dignity in front of them. Now, I finally understand why you received so few activity funds in the past." Li Si squinted as he spoke.

At that moment, Feng was holding a sheath, carefully watching every move of Yalunte, seeing him stop speaking, she then stepped forward and suddenly knelt halfway before Yalunte, respectfully saying: "Brother, I pay my respects!"

"Brother!?" Hearing Feng’s words, everyone was instantly stunned. Yalunte was actually Feng’s brother? What was their relationship?

You should know that Feng has always been the type who does not care about others, she only knows the people around her. The fact that she could step forward today already indicated that her relationship with Yalunte was not simple.

"Hey, bro, brother..." Hearing the address, Yalunte was also stunned for a while. He looked down at Feng and realized, "Oh, so you’re Little Fengye, I almost didn’t recognize you, why are you with the Advance Team? How is the master, is he fine?"

"The master has followed the prophecy’s arrangement and left this world." Feng said with her head down.

"Really?" Upon hearing her words, the smile on Yalunte’s face froze for a moment, revealing a look of sorrow.

"Did you know the prophet?" Luoer asked Yalunte.

"Yes," Yalunte nodded and sighed, "he was my mentor who taught me swordsmanship, and bestowed upon me the title of the continent’s number one Sword Saint."

"No wonder..." Luoer had an expression of sudden realization.

"No wonder what?" Yalunte asked.

"Before the master’s passing, he said that we will meet you again." Luoer truthfully replied.

"Is that so," Yalunte showed a bitter smile, then shook his head, "The master has always been living by the prophecy. His future was locked in place by the prophecy ever since he knew of it. Frankly speaking, hearing about his death, I actually felt somewhat relieved, because the master finally escaped from the bounds of prophecy, regaining his freedom."

"So, you and Feng are disciples of the prophet?" Cheng Ziang asked as he moved forward, frowning.

"Yes, that’s correct, so this little girl is my junior sister in your terms." Yalunte shrugged and nodded in reply.

"This is indeed a coincidence." Tangmo helped Feng, who was half-kneeling on the ground, up and cheerfully said.

When Feng was helped up, Yalunte noticed the sword on her waist, hesitated a moment, then looked at Cheng Ziang.

"What?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"How did you give your sword to Little Fengye?" Yalunte smiled and asked.

"It’s a long story, but I think she’s more suited for the sword." Cheng Ziang shrugged and replied.

"Does everyone have any objections?" Yalunte spoke, turning towards Li Si.

"Of course not, Feng is also an Advance Team member, exchanges of property among team members is not under the jurisdiction of the frontline Headquarters." Li Si indifferently said.

"So, Little Fengye actually also joined your Advance Team?" Yalunte asked incredulously.

"Of course, it’s the prophecy’s arrangement." Cheng Ziang said.

"I see, but thinking about it, if not for the prophecy’s arrangements, how could the master easily give such a powerful force to you guys." Yalunte said accordingly.

"You also know about Feng’s powerful combat strength?" Luoer couldn’t help but ask.

"Of course, that’s why I never say that I am the continent’s number one Sword Saint," Yalunte glanced at Feng and sighed, "Little Fengye has always been very powerful, way more than me. I am just a mere swordsman, but she is a battle mage."
