Chapter 362: Chapter 259: Truth Potion_2

The atmosphere within the group was initially somewhat heavy, but as Sha Yun started the bonfire and Hui Yue brought out wine and beer from the stored stones, it soon became much more joyful.

Gao Yan went off to search for Fanged Hogs again and returned within an hour with a massive specimen. They quickly placed it over the bonfire, allowing it to roast.

As they danced while humming songs, the previously quiet space quickly became filled with laughter and joy. They all knew this would be their last gathering for years to come, yet none of them felt disheartened. Instead, they thoroughly enjoyed these final moments of unrestrained happiness.

They did not sleep that night. Instead, they shared their hopes and dreams for the future. After the sun rose, the Rong twins and Gao Yan were the first to get up.

Rong Xing could no longer hold back and gave Hui Yue, Sha Yun, and Mama a big hug. Her cheeks flushed red as she gave Deng Wu a kiss, causing the astonished man to almost tumble from the log where he was seated.

Rong Xing had just kissed Deng Wu. Her sweet voice lingered in the air, saying "Take care," but the girl had already mounted her Qilin and swiftly left the clearing. She left behind a stunned Rong Ming and Gao Yan, who hurried to catch up with her.

Watching how the other three departed, Ma Kong smiled sadly as he looked at their retreating figures. Then he quietly lifted his head, nodded gently, turned around, and left without glancing back even once.

"It seems we won’t be traveling alone," Lan Feng remarked as Deng Wu and Wang Julong showed no intention of getting up. Instead, they both stared at Hui Yue with clear anticipation in their eyes. Somehow, they reminded the white-haired boy of puppies, eliciting a warm laugh from his lips.

"Do you mind if they join us?" Hui Yue asked curiously, leaning against a tall tree, completely ignoring the sharp gazes from his two friends while conversing with Lan Feng.

"I don’t mind them," Phoenix said, its voice tinged with annoyance. "I’m just saying you need to be careful about who you help in the future. We can’t pick up random strays everywhere!"

At first, Hui Yue had been against using Lan Feng for the battle in Liluo City. He initially wanted to retain the power of a Saint for as long as possible, but arguing with Lan Feng was impossible.

Phoenix was adamant about flaunting its strength to showcase the real power of cultivators to the King.

Initially, Lan Lan insisted on executing the three experts on Deng and Wang’s side, but Hui Yue opposed.

After discussions between Hui Yue and Lan Feng, in the presence of Wang Julong and Deng Wu, a compromise satisfying Lan Feng was finally reached.

Hui Yue sighed deeply, wondering why Lan Feng was so eager to showcase its strength. But when he asked the bird about its motivations, its response left Hui Yue shocked, resolving never to inquire further.

"I’ve spent the past six months perfecting Wu Wei; my strength has finally returned to greatness. I want to use it. I want them to realize just how powerful I truly am. I want to crush those weak King-level cultivators who think they’re prodigies like me!"

Recalling the bird’s boastful reasons just moments ago, Hui Yue couldn’t help but laugh. It was evident that because of Lan Feng, Hui Yue could no longer return to Liluo City, but he didn’t mind at all. Instead, Hui Yue looked at Wang Julong and Deng Wu, both of whom were still excitedly staring at him.

"We’ll leave in a few hours," he said with a grin. "Until then, get some rest. Who knows what awaits us in the Holy Dungeon."

....

In a palace of Sun City, the capital of the Sun Kingdom, a lone figure sat in a completely dark room, his eyes constantly watching the window.

Few would sit in this position for hours without moving; even the castle’s maids would be shocked, as it defied their expectations of the Third Prince.

Finally, a black speck appeared on the horizon, swiftly flying toward the window. The already narrowed eyes of the young man further tightened in anticipation. Stretching out his hand, he quickly caught the speck, which turned out to be a small bird with a tiny stone tied to its leg.

Within seconds, he lifted the stone to his forehead and read its contents, causing his handsome face to distort in anger.

"Useless!" he yelled as he hurled the stone to the ground, shattering it into thousands of pieces. "What great hundred families? Even combined, they can’t deal with a worthless City Lord!"

Standing in the dark room’s center, the Third Prince gazed out the window once more. His eyes gradually calmed, the unyielding light within them glowing as a faint smile crossed his face.

"I suppose I must deal with them personally," he said softly, chuckling, "but first, eliminate the witnesses."

A cold wind swept in from the sea, where four figures could be seen standing atop a cliff. Below them, turbulent waves crashed against jagged rocks, deadly and ominous.

"Are you sure we need to go down there?" Hui Yue asked hesitantly, peering at the peril below, while the stubborn Phoenix merely snorted in reply.

Hui Yue, along with Deng Wu, Wang Julong, and Sha Yun, had departed from the Magic Forest four months ago. Since then, the group had wandered to the southwest of the kingdom, reaching a point where all they could see was water stretching endlessly.

Hui Yue and his companions stood at the westernmost edge of the Sun Kingdom, the end of the peninsula. Hui Yue never let his mind grow complacent, always maintaining an alert gaze in his piercing blue eyes.

Standing at the kingdom’s boundary, Hui Yue confronted the edge of the small world he currently inhabited. The peninsula ended in a massive cliff towering thousands of meters above the stormy sea.

Even the normally cheerful Sha Yun showed signs of unease as fierce waves slammed against the cliff’s rocky walls.

"Once upon a time," Lan Feng muttered, frowning slightly. Even the firm foundation of four thousand years ago was nowhere to be seen; instead, pieces of rock had been eroded away by turbulent waters annually. Four thousand years later, those minor fragments had grown into gaping voids, completely transforming the landscape.

Four months ago, Hui Yue and Sha Yun had led Wang Julong and Deng Wu through the Magic Forest, traversing the countryside all the way to the kingdom’s southwestern edge, a location rumored to hold the entrance to the Holy Dungeon.

During this journey, Hui Yue had tried his best to extract information from Lan Feng about the dungeon waiting ahead, but the damn bird yielded no answers. Hui Yue envisioned a damp, dark maze of underground tunnels with sunlight barely piercing through.

The most excitement they’d encountered along the way had come from discussions about the events in Liluo City and their expectations for their destination.

The group had deliberately avoided villages of all sizes—even the smallest and poorest ones—because Hui Yue wished to leave no trace of their whereabouts, not even the faintest.

Hui Yue had brought everything with him. Earlier, he had relied on techniques he had learned from the old world. Though primitive by his standards, they were utterly new and unfamiliar in this world. If the Sun Royal Kingdom gained knowledge of them, they would immediately recognize that Hui Yue possessed secrets forbidden from falling into neighboring kingdoms or even defiant high-level nobles.

While relationships between kingdoms were currently amicable, nothing could ever be certain. Wars had broken out in the past over hopes of uniting all under one banner, and Hui Yue’s knowledge was by no means limited to harmless inventions. The Royal Family would undoubtedly covet him solely for these secrets.

Another reason someone might pursue him was the revelation of his power as a Holy Rank expert. Clearly, anyone following him had the intention of testing whether his strength truly belonged to the Holy Rank—the motivation for chasing him was evident.

If he proved to be a Holy Name expert, they would exert every effort to invite him into their ranks. Hui Yue was no fool; Holy Rank experts were not forces to be trifled with. Still, the Sun Kingdom surely had some experts of such caliber amongst their ranks. If Hui Yue refused their polite invitation, he might be compelled to join. In the worst-case scenario, he could indeed face elimination.

Hui Yue shook his head, refusing to dwell on these possibilities. Within the past four months, he had advanced to the Third Master Level without any interruptions to his cultivation during the journey. Instead, he directed all his focus on the cliff wall, sighing deeply. freёweɓnovel_com
