The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud - Chapter 405: Awakening
After making their decision, the Bai Family stayed put, no longer wandering aimlessly.
Time slipped by, and Shen Yifeng meticulously scoured the thick fog surrounding the strange land for almost two hours.
With his careful attention, he even detected traces of the battle between Su Jingzhen and the Five Immortals.
He could tell the traces were incredibly fresh.
But besides that, he found nothing else.
“Strange, I clearly sensed that this place was an ancient battlefield.
Why is there nothing here?
Could it be that the brat already collected everything beforehand?
Or was it the work of the legendary Shuang Jiang?”
He muttered to himself, but couldn’t figure it out.
Shen Yifeng returned to Luo Yuebai’s side.
“Third Grandpa, did you find anything?” Luo Yuebai’s expression held a hint of curiosity.
The latter, however, shook his head dejectedly.
“Besides confirming that this strange land is incredibly beneficial for cultivation, especially for the younger generation, I haven’t found anything else. Perhaps we’ll have to wait for that brat to wake up before we know anything more.”
As he spoke, Shen Yifeng’s tone was serious yet tinged with anticipation.
He was genuinely curious about the original appearance of this place.
Luo Yuebai’s gaze drifted towards the thick fog surrounding the large pit. “What about the Bai Family? They haven’t appeared for a while, did they just leave?”
Hearing this, Shen Yifeng chuckled. “This strange land is incredibly important to any sect or major power.
If we could occupy it, not to mention anything else, the younger generation’s disciples could lay a solid foundation.
Since the Bai Family discovered it with us, how could they simply leave?
I can sense them at the edge of the fog and their younger generations are quietly absorbing the unique energy within the strange land for cultivation.
As for Bai Ying, that old hag is patiently waiting for us, as if she wants to negotiate with us.”
A sneer played on Shen Yifeng’s lips.
But then he sighed. “Actually, this is partly our fault.
Us sitting on that cliffside all night was too obvious.
It made them suspicious, leading them to explore the canyon.
If we had been more discreet or simply not come, Bai Ying wouldn’t have thought to look down here.
Then, when that brat woke up, this entire strange land would have belonged entirely to our Evil Moon Sect Linjiang Branch.”
Hearing his words, Luo Yuebai smiled. “There’s no need to regret it.
Even if we have to split this place with the Bai Family, Linjiang City is still our Evil Moon Sect’s territory.
Would they dare to move a large number of Bai Family disciples here?
They’ll ultimately have to cooperate with us.
Besides, even if we hand over this strange land to the Bai Family, it’s worth it if it means ensuring Su Jingzhen’s safety.”
As she spoke, Luo Yuebai’s gaze fell upon Su Jingzhen’s face.
In her eyes, Shen Yifeng saw a tenderness he had never seen before.
“Tsk tsk…
Looks like Grandpa is in the way here.
I’ll go practice in the fog and see the effects. You just stay here and watch over the brat when he wakes up.
After that, I’ll head back to the sect first. Things have been chaotic in Linjiang City lately, with ‘Yin’ appearing, it’s likely the other elders have arrived as well.
As long as they dare to attack our Linjiang Branch, I’ll personally take their heads!”
Shen Yifeng’s voice was filled with murderous intent.
Without waiting for Luo Yuebai’s response, he vanished into the fog.
As he left, he casually picked up ‘Yin’s’ corpse.
Only Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai remained in the large pit.
Out of curiosity, Luo Yuebai reached out with a strand of energy to probe Su Jingzhen’s body.
She wanted to see exactly what was going on inside him.
However, this time, as she explored with a peaceful mind, a look of shock suddenly appeared on her face.
“Seven…seven…
When did he open up seven Secret Repositories?
When did it become so easy to open them?”
Luo Yuebai felt her throat dry.
She couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
After probing several times, she confirmed that there were indeed seven sources constantly channeling fresh blood and energy into Su Jingzhen’s body, located at his hands, feet, chest, and Dantian.
Although Luo Yuebai wasn’t a Body Cultivator, she knew this was the hallmark of opening Body Secret Repositories.
“Is he a monster? Or is he truly a natural Body Cultivator?”
As she was overwhelmed with shock, Luo Yuebai couldn’t help but ponder this question.
The more Luo Yuebai learned about Su Jingzhen, the more she felt she had never truly understood him.
It seemed his depths were always beyond comprehension.
However, this only made Luo Yuebai view Su Jingzhen with even more admiration.
Under this state, several more hours passed.
The strange land’s pit offered no view of the sky, but outside, night was approaching.
Shen Yifeng practiced in the fog for a while before returning to the Linjiang Branch.
Throughout the process, he completely ignored the Bai Family.
Bai Ying and Bai Qingshi, Bai Qingshan, the two Nascent Soul cultivators, stood silently at the edge of the fog, making no move.
Bai Susu and the others were immersed in deep cultivation.
It was clear they were adapting exceptionally well to the strange land, and the effects were remarkably noticeable.
This only solidified their determination to fight Evil Moon Sect Linjiang Branch for control.
“Elder, should we just wait here?”
Bai Qingshi, who had lost an arm, still looked pale and weak, but he was recovering well.
Looking into the fog, his expression held not hatred, but a tinge of resentment.
“Wait!”
However, Bai Ying only responded with one word.
At this moment, under Luo Yuebai’s probing, Su Jingzhen’s damaged meridians had already recovered over half.
And the repair speed seems to be getting faster and faster.
Luo Yuebai felt a surge of joy.
Suddenly, she felt the hand of Su Jingzhen, which she was holding, tremble slightly.
This caught Luo Yuebai’s attention.
Her gaze instantly shifted to Su Jingzhen’s face, where the latter was struggling to open his eyes.
“Yuebai…”
Su Jingzhen’s consciousness gradually returned.
The beautiful face of Luo Yuebai filled his vision, and he instinctively called out her name.
“You…you finally woke up.”
A relieved smile finally graced Luo Yuebai’s lips.
“Where am I?”
As his consciousness sharpened, Su Jingzhen felt confused about his surroundings.
The last image that flashed in his mind before falling unconscious was the strange land.
Knowing its peculiarity, he found Luo Yuebai’s presence strange and shocking.
He feared that everything was just an illusion.
“Don’t you even know where you are?”
Luo Yuebai couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Before Su Jingzhen could respond, a sudden burst of golden light blinded him.
