Chapter 911: Chapter 79: Master? Old Acquaintance?
"Feng Cailing, Feng Caixuan. Elder Feng Yunyan. Heavenly Sword Sect Master Chen Tianjian."
Zhou Yan murmured to himself.
The appearances, auras, and personalities of these people are a reemergence of past acquaintances.
Reappearing before him, Zhou Yan.
Yet these people are no longer the past acquaintances.
Things remain, but people have changed.
They are still themselves. Perhaps they might even find Zhou Yan easy to approach, with an inexplicable sense of familiarity, yet they wouldn’t know if there’s any connection between them.
Zhou Yan knows they won’t know, and he knows they will feel a strange familiarity and closeness.
But this truth exists only in Zhou Yan’s heart, unexplainable, unspeakable.
"Supporting each other in adversity, forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes... Sometimes, even though you know something, you have to pretend not to know, but others really don’t know, while I, in fact, know everything."
"How is this any different from the way brother Lee Ran feels about me?"
"If they feel familiar with me but can’t remember, if this happens repeatedly, they surely would want to find out why they feel this way. And while I know, I can’t say, because here is the Dark God Domain; speaking up would only be self-deception without any convincing evidence."
"Perhaps I should be like them, forgotten in the rivers and lakes, faded away."
"Give up the past, face the present, it’s for the best."
Zhou Yan, with a slightly complicated expression, looked at the twin ladies in colorful wing dresses, Feng Cailing and Feng Caixuan, and slightly nodded at them, indicating his willingness to follow them to see the ’Master’.
Aside from their surnames which had changed to Feng, Feng Cailing and Feng Caixuan showed almost no change, at least as far as Zhou Yan could see.
Of course, their realms have both reached the Divine Spirit Sixth Transition Realm, their power far surpassing Zhou Yan’s.
While Zhou Yan was pondering, Zhaoyun, due to something Feng Cailing and Feng Caixuan said, almost went mad with anger.
Her eyes fixed on Zhou Yan, emitting a killing intent with no reservation, completely undisguised.
Zhou Yan didn’t avert his gaze either, his eyes cold and calm as the abyss staring back at Zhaoyun, with an indifferent expression, as if it was nothing of concern.
Zhaoyun’s face turned cold and beautiful, a slight grim expression, she snorted coldly, shifting her gaze from Zhou Yan to Feng Cailing and Feng Caixuan: "Excellent! Very good! This time, I will remember you all!"
"Remember? It’s fine if you remember," said Feng Caixuan indifferently, unconcerned with Zhaoyun’s words.
Feng Cailing, however, reprimanded coldly: "Remembered? Then quickly get lost, or I’ll strike you ten times with a Soul Refining Sword!"
As she spoke, a powerful Sword Soul aura that could capture and take souls suppressed Zhaoyun.
"Pfft—"
Before Zhaoyun could touch this pressure, she spat blood, directly injured by the aura’s suppression.
Her face showed extreme displeasure, yet without further word, she turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
"Hmph, she fled quickly, otherwise I’d have cut her down with a sword already."
Feng Cailing’s killing intent was fierce, and her words carried an overwhelming aura, domineering and invincible.
This was quite the show of a strongwoman; she didn’t mind, wholly decisive and swift in action.
"Little junior brother, are you alright?"
Feng Caixuan asked with concern.
"No need for my senior sisters to worry, Zhou Yan is fine."
Zhou Yan immediately replied.
"I wasn’t worried about you, for you to leap from a Void Level Nine-Star Purgatory Refiner to a Divine Level Three-Star Purgatory Refiner; If you had died facing a Divine Spirit Fourth Transition, it only means the Dark God Tower’s analysis was flawed, and you got lucky. But seeing your decisiveness, you’re quite the figure, so my sister and I stepped in to disentangle you. Enough talk, follow me to see the Master."
Feng Cailing coldly stated.
Her tone always conveyed a feeling of keeping others at a distance, extremely cold.
Yet, Zhou Yan found this rather odd.
It seemed this woman was intentionally keeping a distance from him.
"Let’s go, little junior brother."
Feng Caixuan smiled slightly; her words were relatively gentle.
Zhou Yan flew out of the array platform space and joined Feng Cailing and Feng Caixuan.
"Keep your distance; don’t think I find you familiar that you’ll really be close to me. In my life, I dislike men the most; senior brothers and junior brothers are no exception."
Feng Cailing frowned prettily, then said coldly.
Zhou Yan gave Feng Cailing a curious look, vaguely feeling that Feng Cailing’s current personality was genuinely more complete.
It was precisely because of this that Zhou Yan felt an impulse to uncover the true truth of the Sword Burial Ancestor Star.
"When I become stronger, I must descend upon the Sword Burial Plane to understand if there’s more to it than just being a clone."
Zhou Yan had made up his mind, but he didn’t react to Feng Cailing’s words, neither moving closer nor retreating.
Even though Feng Cailing spoke, she didn’t make any more demands of Zhou Yan, and instead, with a mighty Colorful Light Domain, enveloped Zhou Yan, taking him away as if by instantaneous movement.
...
"Ahhh—Cailing and Caixuan, those two bitches, just because they have the favor of Fairy Feng Yunyan, act so wantonly, I will make them pay!"
After Zhaoyun landed at the foot of her cave mansion’s mountain, she nearly went on a rampage, completely infuriated.
It took her a long time to calm down that frantic rage.
Her cousin dead, and she, the cousin, didn’t even have the chance to act.
No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t swallow this indignation.
"Only a Divine Spirit First Transformation! Even if combat power is extraordinary, it’s just a Divine Spirit Fourth Transformation. I refuse to believe I can’t deal with those two bitches Feng Cailing and Feng Caixuan, let alone this damned Zhou Yan!"
"Feng Cailing, you forced me! I’ll have my father, an Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Alchemy Hall, deal with you; with Zhou Yan’s powerful blood and qi, he surely is prime material for refining Divine Medicine! I refuse to believe if I refine you to death, you’ll still live!"
Zhaoyun nearly roared in a low growl.
She didn’t hold back her voice, but this mountain’s vicinity ordinarily didn’t have cultivators come by.
However, this time, a female cultivator happened to be flying over and heard part of what was said.
The female cultivator paused slightly, then naturally continued flying, without any apparent occurrence.
Zhaoyun only glanced up and saw a newly recruited female disciple, dismissing it as inconsequential.
But after the female cultivator flew past the mountain’s foot, her eyes showed a trace of hesitation.
"Having been taken under Master’s wing this time, I’m now in the same group as that Zhou Yan; and being his junior sister. If I rely on others to harm my senior brother while watching, it would be disrespectful to my brother’s care.
But if I let others take revenge for me and just look on, it wouldn’t do justice to my brother’s affection.
But if I must rely on others and watch them hurt my senior brother, that would be unfair to the love my brother has shown me.
But if I let others do it and just watch them hurt my senior brother, it would be unjust to the affection my brother has shown me.
So, I’ll let him know to be more careful. I will settle my brother’s score myself in the future."
The woman, hesitating, continued to fly towards the mountain peak belonging to the Gui Die Clan in the Valley of Ten Thousand Spirits.
There, the two senior sisters had already brought Zhou Yan to this main peak.
When she saw this, she mulled it over in her heart, wondering if having such a sinister person as a senior brother would bring calamity to the Master. Hopefully, he could restrain himself a little, or she would show no mercy.
"This guy must be a schemer; causing trouble in Quicksand Town and then in Tianxing City when he arrived there, and now at the Sky Sword Sect. Would having such a person as a senior brother bring disaster to Master? I hope he can restrain himself, otherwise, I will not hold back."
Mo Yuyao thought in her heart, but she saw her two senior sisters flying towards the main peak with Zhou Yan by then.
