Chapter 1337: Chapter 1334: A One-Man Battlefield!

Hidden Gate is in trouble?

Ren Feifan furrowed his brows and quickly noticed a strand of black qi seeping again from the Dragon Maiden’s body.

"Still not cured? Could it be..."

He hurriedly soothed the Dragon Maiden and placed his finger on her pulse. Thankfully, it wasn’t what he had feared. After a sigh of relief, he asked, "By the way, who injured you, and how do you feel now?"

The Dragon Maiden broke free from Ren Feifan in a panic, hurriedly putting on her shoes and preparing to leave, utterly beside herself to the extreme!

Ren Feifan felt increasingly that something was amiss. He grabbed hold of the Dragon Maiden and said, "What madness has taken hold of you! Your injuries haven’t healed yet. Lie down on the bed and rest quietly!"

His voice rang with authority and carried an unmistakable tone of command.

The Dragon Maiden paid no heed and tried to struggle, prompting Ren Feifan to sigh deeply and restrain her with a flick of his fingers, immobilizing her.

Realizing she had lost control over her own body and was unable to move,

had it been the previous state of the Dragon Maiden, Ren Feifan would decidedly not have been able to do this, but now that she was injured, naturally, he could control her.

After a few attempts, the Dragon Maiden gave up, her eyes blinking rapidly and becoming increasingly moist, clearly showing her urgency.

Ren Feifan’s eyes darkened as he asked, "What in the world has happened?"

"Release me, it’s urgent! I don’t have time to explain, I must go to the Hidden Gate right away!"

The Dragon Maiden cried out hoarsely, but Ren Feifan remained unmoved, his gaze icy.

"You think that if I let you go now, you’d be able to set foot in the Hidden Gate? Forget entering the Hidden Gate, let me tell you, the moment you step out of the Holy Gate, those chasing after you will make you regret coming into this world! If you consider me a friend, then tell me what’s really happened, and we’ll solve it together."

The Dragon Maiden glanced at Ren Feifan, perhaps moved by his words. She gradually calmed down and said, "Trouble has struck! Brother Ao Tian is in danger! It could be the greatest danger the Demon Clan has faced since their unification! For some reason, the Lei Family has learned about Brother Ao Tian’s actions against the Demon Clan and has already conspired with people from both the Inner and Outer Hidden Sects. They’ll soon launch an attack on the Demon Clan!

Moreover, they’ve already sent people deep into the Demon Clan; there is a traitor among them! But Brother Ao Tian is completely unaware of this! That’s why I must go to the Hidden Gate to inform him! Can you see why I’m so anxious?"

Ren Feifan’s gaze turned icy. As for why the Lei Family knew about the incident, he had a conjecture in his heart—it must have been the elder the Lei Family sent to deal with him, whom the Demon Clan’s powerhouse saved, slaughtering all the Lei Family’s master fighters, but the soul of one elder escaped!

It must be this remnant soul that informed them.

Now that things had come to this, a solution must be found. Although he didn’t know the true extent of Ao Tian’s current strength, even a brave man can’t fend off many attackers, and with the Hidden Gate’s many masters, if those people united against Ao Tian, even the most heaven-defying cultivation would be cut down!

What’s more, the position of the Hidden Gate in this chess game was evidently at the point of troops besieging Lin City, with only Ao Tian left as a single general!

A sure loss situation indeed!

"Brother Feifan, can you let me go now? I can make it to the Hidden Gate by tomorrow night! Then, everything might still be salvageable!" The Dragon Maiden urgently said, lacking her usual composure.

Ren Feifan reached out to unlock the acupoints of the Dragon Girl and handed her an elixir.

"Your injuries have not fully healed, and there is still a trace of black qi in your body that needs to be expelled by yourself, so stay here for now. As for Dandan’s matter, leave it to me. I was planning to enter the Hidden Gate tomorrow morning, but it seems I need to leave tonight!"

"But you... you have quite a few enemies in the Hidden Gate, and those people will definitely have set up a trap at the entrance to both the Hidden Gate and the secular world. If you go, it will only be more dangerous! I don’t want to lose two friends and... family," Dragon Girl said with moist eyes.

Ren Feifan’s mind was made up, and he stood up firmly.

"Those who pursued you never saw me from the beginning; I am safe. Moreover, traveling alone and with my cultivation at the True Path Realm, I doubt those from the Outer Hidden Sect will pay much attention to me. I’m the best person for the job. Also, you must heal quickly, and when you’re better, remember to bring my Holy Gate disciples inside!"

Dragon Girl was taken aback, bit her lips, and eventually nodded.

Ren Feifan had always been full of surprises; perhaps this time would be no different.

...

Ren Feifan left the cultivation room and went straight to the old man’s chamber.

Some matters could only be discussed with the old man.

Just as he was about to knock, the door opened on its own, and an aged voice rang out:

"Young man, come on in."

Ren Feifan entered and found the old man drawing talismans, which was somewhat astonishing. The old man was also a Talisman Master?

This completely overturned his understanding, but then he thought that the Physiognomist lineage inherently needed to master many things.

Formation, runes, geomancy, martial arts... all these required expertise, and the old man was a seventh-grade Physiognomist—unparalleled in the secular world!

The old man put down his brush and looking up, said, "You’re about to leave, and in a hurry, right?"

Ren Feifan widened his eyes in surprise, "You’ve divined that too?"

The old man chuckled, "The most basic skill of the Physiognomist lineage is observation. Your face might as well have ’leaving’ written all over it. But you intended to join us to the Hidden Gate tomorrow morning. Is it so urgent because of that girl?"

Ren Feifan didn’t want to explain too much and nodded, "A friend’s life is in peril; I must set out immediately. I came to you, firstly to thank you. If you hadn’t intervened earlier, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Secondly, I want to ask you for a favor, to take care of Shi Han, Cui Ying, the Holy Gate disciples, and the injured girl, and to successfully lead them into the Hidden Gate. However, considering the current situation, the best time to enter is probably not tomorrow. The Hidden Gate has been making big moves lately; it’s not the right time to go."

The old man turned his back, his fingers played with a little bird hanging by the window. After a long pause, he scoffed, "You say it’s not a good time to enter, so why do you still want to go? I just did a divination for you—going today would be fraught with danger! It’s not a good time at all. If you entered with me, I could take care of you."

Ren Feifan shook his head, his fist clenched tight, "Even if it signifies great peril, I have to go. I have no other choice."

"Alright," the old man didn’t try to persuade him any further. He made a hand gesture, and the ink on the talisman on the desk still fresh, it flew up and hovered in front of Ren Feifan.

"This is called the Shocking Sky Rune; use it in a critical moment with the proper gesture, and you will have at least five seconds to escape. Moreover! I will take care of the Holy Gate people. No one will dare to harm them; that’s the only thing I can do to help you. Take care of yourself. Don’t try to be a hero when you’re out there alone—escape if you can. We’ll meet again in the Hidden Gate."

Ren Feifan stretched out his palm and gripped the talisman, his gaze resolute, "Fine, we’ll meet again in the Hidden Gate!"
