The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud - Chapter 441: The Dan Holy City

“Why are you all staring at me like that?”

Su Jingzhen felt a bit uneasy.

He knew that his sudden outburst had raised Shen Yifeng and the others’ suspicions.

At the very moment he asked this question, a line of golden text appeared before his eyes:

Xuening, though still shocked, had a smile on her face.

These three notifications likely stemmed from Su Jingzhen’s sudden outburst earlier.

Su Jingzhen was not surprised by Xuening’s points.

In fact, he felt that three combos were somewhat on the low side.

At this point, Shen Yifeng was the first to say, “What level are you at now, kid?”

The two talismans thrown by Cang Yun earlier were definitely at the Nascent Soul level.

But in front of Su Jingzhen, they seemed as insignificant as a dog’s bone.

This could only mean that Su Jingzhen’s sudden surge in power was stronger than an ordinary Nascent Soul.

Moreover, Shen Yifeng knew that Su Jingzhen hadn’t used Bloodthirst during the fight.

With such strength, as long as Su Jingzhen didn’t bring trouble upon himself, he could dominate the Qingzhou region without restraint.

He suddenly thought of ‘Yin,’ who had met a tragic end in the strange land.

If Su Jingzhen had possessed his current strength back then, it would not have been surprising at all for him to have killed ‘Yin.’ In fact, it would have been quite natural.

When Su Jingzhen chose to reveal his strength, he had already planned how to explain it.

Su Jingzhen immediately smiled and said, “I had a bit of fortune at Clear Wind Mountain. I opened one more Secret Repository, which caused my strength to surge. Now, I am at the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage.”

After all, he only needed to play the fool in front of his enemies.

Since the secret was already out, there was no need for him to hide anything from Shen Yifeng and the others.

After all, he would inevitably face more battles, and his cultivation level could not be concealed forever.

What Shen Yifeng and the others saw in this battle was merely what Su Jingzhen wanted them to see.

He hadn’t even used the Heavenly Dragon Scale or the Pink Poisonous Woman’s ability to control others’ powers in this battle.

Naturally, Su Jingzhen would not reveal all his methods unless he faced a true life-and-death crisis.

As for Ye Zhiqiu, although she was an outsider, she was still a teammate on this trip.

As for his cultivation, it was equally impossible to hide it from her.

Moreover, the strange lands on Clear Wind Mountain would eventually be known to the major top-tier forces in Qingzhou as their cooperation with the Bai Family deepened.

But since he, Su Jingzhen, had complete control over that place, he wasn’t worried.

He was confident that by the time other forces learned of it, his strength would be sufficient to suppress the entire Qingzhou region.

In his plans, he envisioned expanding the strange land as much as possible with his abilities.

He intended to use this strange land to collaborate directly with Qingzhou’s other top forces.

Through this strange land, he might be able to gradually bring all the forces in Qingzhou under his control.

Commanding all the lords with the strange land was his grand vision for it.

At this moment, as Su Jingzhen spoke, the surrounding air instantly fell silent.

It even seemed to become somewhat solidified.

Once again, Xuening’s points appeared before his eyes.

Snapping back to reality, Shen Yifeng couldn’t contain his inner shock and curiosity. He stepped forward and grasped Su Jingzhen’s hand.

A gentle energy scanned into Su Jingzhen’s body.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen chose not to hide the eight Secret Repositories.

He let the blood energy within them surge openly.

Previously, Shen Yifeng knew that Su Jingzhen had opened several Secret Repositories.

Now, the number had suddenly increased to eight, which still caught him off guard.

“Eight!”

“You… you really are the legendary Destined Body Cultivator, aren’t you?”

“However… it’s a pity…”

“If it were a thousand years ago, you would have been the most dazzling star in the world of immortality.”

After the shock, Shen Yifeng sighed sincerely.

In such an environment, Su Jingzhen was still able to continuously open so many Secret Repositories.

This could only mean he was indeed a Destined Body Cultivator.

No other explanation could be found.

In Shen Yifeng’s view, if Su Jingzhen were born in an environment conducive to body cultivation, even with fewer restrictions, he would have surely become the prodigy of the cultivation world.

He would inevitably stand at the pinnacle.

Hearing Shen Yifeng’s words, Su Jingzhen thought to himself, “With the system’s support, even if the environment is not favorable, I am already the chosen one…”

Su Jingzhen firmly believed in this.

The system had already awakened; if he wasn’t the chosen one, it would be somewhat hard to explain.

Shen Yifeng’s tone suddenly turned serious, “Regarding your strength, keep it hidden as much as you can. Don’t be so reckless in the future.

When the water is full, it overflows; when the moon is full, it wanes; and a tree that stands out in the forest is bound to be cut down by the wind. I hope you understand these principles.”

“Please rest assured, Master. Earlier, I was just feeling a bit restless and wanted to test my combat ability. In the future, with you by my side, I will refrain from taking action unless absolutely necessary.”

He was quite obedient about this matter.

After all, Shen Yifeng had personally seen the mysteries of the strange land. With this reason, Shen Yifeng would have no reason to doubt him.

As for the future… in his view, by then, his cultivation would likely crush Shen Yifeng completely.

At that time, he would be able to suppress the entire Qingzhou, and some things would become insignificant.

At this moment, Shen Yifeng’s gaze suddenly turned to Ye Zhiqiu beside them.

“Miss Ye, regarding this rascal’s cultivation, please keep it confidential.”

He spoke with a rather serious tone.

Ye Zhiqiu clearly understood the deeper meaning behind his words.

She immediately pointed to the sky and then to the ground, “Regarding this matter, I, Ye Zhiqiu, swear by the Heavenly Dao that I will never speak of it to anyone else.

What has happened today, Zhiqiu has never witnessed. If I break this vow, I would have my Dao heart collapse and my cultivation end.”

Ye Zhiqiu knew that among this group, she was ultimately an outsider.

A Heavenly Dao oath was perhaps the only way for Shen Yifeng to feel at ease.

Shen Yifeng nodded in satisfaction.

He didn’t say any more sentimental words.

“Since that’s the case, let’s go.

Even Huangzhou has received the news and arrived here; by the time we reach Dan Holy City, everyone who should be there will be there.”

As he spoke, Shen Yifeng once again appeared serious.

They had barely left Linjiang City when they encountered the Dongxuan Academy.

It was likely that the top forces from other states were also on their way.

This trip to the Dan Holy City and the Dantai family ruins might be even more grandiose than he had anticipated.

The group then boarded the white-feathered eagle once more.

With a cry of the white-feathered eagle, they set off again.

At this time, Su Jingzhen looked towards the direction where the Dongxuan Academy’s group had left and a hint of murderous intent surfaced on his face.

“That Cang Yun who fought me earlier seemed to have a special ability.

He specifically approached Xuening. I think he must have other reasons.

This person might need to be dealt with in the future.”

Cultivators have a multitude of methods at their disposal. Female cultivators can achieve excellent physique and appearance through various means.

Therefore, in the world of cultivation, beautiful women are numerous.

It is unlikely that Dongxuan Academy would pay attention to Xuening simply because of her looks.

He had a premonition that this person was not ordinary.

In response, Shen Yifeng nodded, “Let’s put that aside for now. This trip to the Dan Holy City will inevitably lead to more encounters with them.

As I’ve said before, if there are any people you want to kill within the regions of Qingzhou, Huangzhou, or Cangzhou, you can go ahead and act without hesitation.

I can cover for you in all matters.”

While saying this, Shen Yifeng remained extremely confident.

In his eyes, perhaps the cultivators of Qingzhou were not worth much consideration.

After all, he had once stirred up storms in the Luo River region.

Those who have seen the vast ocean naturally do not regard mountain streams with much importance.

…

Among the group of people from Dongxuan Academy who had left earlier, Cang Yun’s injuries quickly stabilized with the help of Han Ning and other Soul Formation Stage cultivators.

At this moment, his expression was dark, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

“Elders, I have a premonition that the girl is likely deeply connected to the Dantai ruins.

If we could invite her to Dongxuan Academy, it would greatly facilitate our expedition to the Dantai ruins.”

Even after his injuries were stabilized, his first words were still focused on Xuening.

Perhaps it was due to the unwillingness after being completely crushed by Su Jingzhen that drove him to seek revenge.

Yes, at this moment, Cang Yun thought that his failure was merely because he did not expect Su Jingzhen to be a Body Cultivation practitioner.

He was caught off guard and taken by surprise.

If given another chance, Cang Yun believed he would not be so careless and would not give Su Jingzhen another opportunity to close in.

He unconsciously forgot his earlier despair.

But as for their earlier battle, perhaps only he, as the party involved, still harbored unwillingness in his heart.

The other young members of Dongxuan Academy had already secretly decided that if they encountered Su Jingzhen in the ruins, they would avoid him as much as possible.

These individuals might not be very convinced by the Evil Moon Sect, but at least they had acknowledged Su Jingzhen among their peers.

Hearing his words, Han Ning, a Soul Formation stage cultivator, placed his hands behind his back and gazed into the distance.

“When we decided to come to Qingzhou, we learned about this area. It is said that Yunmeng City previously held an Alchemist Conference, and during that conference, a descendant of the Dantai family made an appearance.

Later, she joined the Evil Moon Sect.

So, Cang Yun, your premonition was probably correct. That girl has an extraordinary aura, and she might indeed be a descendant of the Dantai family.

Unfortunately, this time, Shen Yifeng is with them.

Considering this chance, Dongxuan Academy should refrain from forcing it.”

Although they were from Huangzhou, they were not completely ignorant of Qingzhou’s major events.

Knowing that Su Jingzhen’s group came from Evil Moon Sect and that Shen Yifeng was among them allowed them to deduce many things easily.

Han Ning and his companion’s most important task on this trip was to ensure the safety of the eight prodigies from Dongxuan Academy.

Their primary role was to guide these prodigies through their training.

While having a great opportunity would be ideal, it was not crucial. They were unwilling to take major risks.

If it were just Qingzhou’s secondary forces, they could bully them without any consequences.

But to provoke Shen Yifeng and offend him would be a different matter. They could only lament their bad luck and curse their misfortune.

At present, even getting Shen Yifeng to accept an apology was quite a headache for them.

There was no way they would return to confront him.

“Elder, is Shen Yifeng really that formidable?

He… is only in the Nascent Soul mid-stage.

While Evil Moon Sect has a strong reputation, Dongxuan Academy is not to be underestimated either.

Do we really need to fear a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator?”

Although Shen Yifeng’s sword strike earlier had been impressive to Cang Yun, he did not believe that Han Ning and his companion could not overcome him with their full strength.

Regarding Cang Yun’s still-unconvinced words, Han Ning and his companion simply shook their heads.

It’s said that wisdom comes from experience, but Cang Yun, who had almost been beaten to death earlier, still hadn’t learned his lesson?

“Yes, we are indeed afraid of him…”

At this point, Han Ning merely said this and did not offer any further explanation.

Cang Yun opened his mouth but ultimately did not say anything more.

…

Traveling was inherently quite a dull affair.

After Shen Yifeng established a simple wind barrier on the white-feathered eagle’s back, Su Jingzhen, Xuening, and Ye Zhiqiu sat down to meditate and conserve their energy.

Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but sigh, thinking that this was the perfect time for spirit refining. If only he had a divine vision map.

As time passed, the sky gradually shifted from bright daylight to the setting sun.

The white-feathered eagle made two stops along the way.

As the last rays of the setting sun completely disappeared behind the western hills, the night began to fall.

In the early evening, the group’s view finally revealed a large but ruined city skyline.

“Dan Holy City, we’ve arrived!”
