Chapter 1328: The Return and Lingering Regrets
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The enemies had already disappeared beyond the horizon by the time Bai Yunfei arrived onto the scene. His first thought was to give chase, but the still figures of his two allies convinced him otherwise. He altered his course and eventually came to a stop right beside the two Saints.
“Ther’s no need to chase after them,” Shen Pojun shook his head. He saw the reluctance on Bai Yunfei’s face all too clearly. “It’ll only be an uphill battle for us.”
He was right. Both sides had yet to inflict a severe wound on one another. Trying to stop either side from running was an extremely difficult task and not worth the effort.
And so Bai Yunfei relented. He would listen to Shen Pojun and the Frostfeather Saint on this.
“Ancestor Shen, senior Frostfeather.”
Li Chengfeng and Jing Mingfeng appeared then to bow to the two Saints.
Shen Pojun heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing their unharmed forms. “Yunfei,” He began, “you’ve obtained the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance, correct? What has…oh?! He’s…”
His attention abruptly shifted over to Xiao Qi. Stunned, he stared at the soulbeast as if he was in disbelief at what he was seeing.
The Frostfeather Saint looked similarly stunned, “You’re…Xiao Qi?! You’ve…you’ve become a Saint as well?!”
Xiao Qi bowed his head in respect to the Frostfeather Saint. “Yes, teacher, it’s me, Xiao Qi. Yunfei gave me a bit of the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance and helped me ascend.”
“What?!”
Shen Pojun and Frostfeather Saint gaped at Bai Yunfei and then to Li Chengfeng and Jing Mingfeng. “You two advanced a stage too?” They were confused, “What happened?”
“Senior Shen, brother Jing and I were lended aid by Bai Yunfei’s grace. I myself am not sure what happened…Yunfei should be the best one to explain it.”
All eyes fell on a smiling Bai Yunfei. “After we split up, I followed the direction as the Saint of Fate said and reached the stone door. After that…”
“……”
They learned everything after that. Shen Pojun and the others were all surprised to hear Bai Yunfei being able to kill Gu Jimie. But then when they learned about the secret pattern to open the door, no one was able to prevent a sigh from escaping their mouths. It was an unexpected blessing! It mystified everyone how Bai Yunfei was able to come to the decision of sharing the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance as well…
“Ol’Bai, did…did you really plan on training a Saint avatar?! Damn, that’s crazy even for you, don’t you think?!”
Jing Mingfeng declared with wide-opened eyes.
“The most particular thing about the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance is its ability to transmit experience. Especially since it’s the experience of a Peak Late-stage Soul Saint. I didn’t really think about if I could do it at first, but I had to give it a try. And it worked out.”
“I’m in awe of you!!” Jing Mingfeng declared again.
They were all amazed. Who else would’ve decided to share as Bai Yunfei did? Any other person would’ve taken it for themselves. And no one would’ve decided to make an avatar at such a moment either. And then to give a portion of the energy out to Xiao Qi, Li Chengfeng, and Jing Mingfeng?
Now, if it was him ni that position? Jing Mingfeng was confident he’d chosen differently.
The Frostfeather Saint sighed. He shook his head after a period of silence. “Is this what the Fate School calls the ‘Winds of Fate’? Even the Heavens are looking after you two. My thousand years of experience means little in comparison to your fate!”
It couldn’t be helped that an ‘old monster’ like the Frostfeather Saint would feel jealous. It was after the tireless efforts of training for hundreds of years that he was able to become a Saint. And now these two managed to attain the same level without much effort? Not even the word ‘genius’ would be enough to describe the two…
Shen Pojun, on the other hand, was happy. “Perhaps destiny saw it fit so! Haha! As expected from the greatest student of our school!”
Embarrassed by the high praise he was receiving, Bai Yunfei ducked and scratched his head. “What do we do now, do we leave this place, ancestor?”
Shen Pojun and the Frostfeather Saint looked at each other for a moment. “We should. The Saint’s dimension has collapsed and our goal was met…”
Without anything left to do here, the group came to the consensus to leave the valley.
The journey for the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance was now over and Bai Yunfei’s group could finally return from their hero’s journey with a smile on their faces. Shangguan Xiongyan and the others threw in everything they had into the pot and ultimately lost it all. Not only was Gu Jimie and Gu Lianhun dead, but the four Soul Emperors went them were dead as well. Two died by Bai Yunfei’s hands, one by Jing Mingfeng, and the last…was most likely dead after the collapse of the dimension…
Bai Yunfei’s eyes glanced at the valley down below. He was still trying to process everything that happened in the last day or two.
He never thought he’d be the recipient of such a grand prize…
“It’s a shame Shangguan Xiongyan and the Abyssal Snake Saint were able to get away. But how did they find me? Was it because of the Regalia, Seeker? Is that something the Soul Seeker is capable of? If it is, then wouldn’t he still be able to track us? This is a problem that needs to be solved sooner rather than later…”
It made Bai Yunfei annoyed to think that two enemies were still able to escape. He had a guess on how the group was able to accurately follow them after having a talk with both the Core Stone and the Soul Sealing Mandate. It was very possible that, Soul Seeker, one of the Ten Regalias, was responsible for this. The only issue was he wasn’t able to confirm it since Shangguan Xiongyan got away.
It troubled Bai Yunfei before, and for good reason, to know that he could be tracked at any possible moment. Now that he was a Saint though, Bai Yunfei was ready! If Shangguan Xiongyan wanted another go, he’d happily oblige. And next time…Shangguan Xiongyan wouldn’t be able to escape again!!
……
While Bai Yunfei was flying away from Hidden Dragon Valley, somewhere else within the valley.
Cloudy skies hung in the sky. Down below, a dark forest littered the mountain below. Two figures stood above the canopy of the trees with expressions as stormy as the weather.
It was Shangguan Xiongyan and the Abyssal Snake Saint.
“Deplorable! Absolutely deplorable! How was Bai Yunfei able to so easily acquire the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance?! And why! What right had he!! Damn him!!’
Shangguan Xiongyan snarled and raged, his voice cracking underneath the fury he felt and not at all showing any dignity as expected from a Saint.
“Boom!!!”
A wave of soulforce exploded from him and slammed into the ground with enough force to disintegrate the nearby mountain!!
The Abyssal Snake Saint sneered. Such a hysterical act from Shangguan Xiongyan was beneath him. He waited for him to finish his rant before speaking, “Calm yourself least we attract unwanted attention and die here.”
But that only served to anger Shangguan Xiongyan even more. “I’ll kill him…I’ll definitely kill Bai Yunfei!! He hasn’t absorbed all of the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance! I’ll steal it…we can steal it still!!”
The blow Shangguan Xiongyan took from losing out on the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance was a heavy one. Bai Yunfei may be a Saint just like him, but he was still behind in terms of experience. Shangguan Xiongyan definitely didn’t fear Bai Yunfei just yet.
“Kill him? Pah, we weren’t close to killing either Shen Pojun or the Frostfeather Saint. You still wish to go after them? Do you wish to die that much? Consider our partnership dissolved in that case. The squabbles between soul cultivators interest me not.”
But the Abyssal Snake Saint was equally displeased. His entire goal had been to take the soulgems of the Dragon Saint King and the Frostfeather Saint. It was bad enough he didn’t get either of them, but to nearly lose his life as well?
“You’ve earned the wrath of the Frostfeather Saint,” Laughed Shangguan Xiongyan, “do you think he won’t come for you in the Soulbeast Forest?! Bai Yunfei and Shen Pojun will be there at that time for you as well, do you think they won’t covet your soulgem?”
“You!!” The Abyssal Snake Saint roared, “You dare threaten me?!”
“I speak only the truth. Your best choice is for the two of us to make one final stand. I’ll assist you in killing the Frostfeather Saint when the time comes. His and the Dragon Saint King’s soulgems are yours!”
“Your words mean little! Gu Jimie is dead and we are alone, by what strength have we to fight those three?!”
“I never said we’d fight them alone. There is still one person that can help us. If they agree, then Bai Yunfei’s death is guaranteed!”
It pained him to have to resort to this, but Bai Yunfei had to die. This person wasn’t someone he wanted to seek out unless it was absolutely necessary. Since asking for this person’s help would mean surrendering the Core Stone, the Soul Sealing Mandate, the Soul Sentinel Scarf, and even the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance to them…
But that was the cost of business. There was no other choice if he wanted to kill Bai Yunfei.
And Bai Yunfei certainly had to die!!
