Chapter 466 – Mysterious Voice
There must be something special hidden underneath this high platform, or perhaps there was another space. However, as Jasmine said, with his strength wanting to break this high platform open was something that was simply impossible.
Yun Che searched around and didn’t find anything similar to an organ switch, so he could only give up and walk up the stone stairs again.
The stone ladder was very long, and Yun Che walked for a long time before he managed to get halfway up.
“Who are you …… …… ………… ”
Yun Che’s footsteps stopped abruptly and he quickly turned his head to look around, “Who? Who is talking!?”
“Ah …… Brother Yun, what’s wrong with you?” Feng Xue’er, who was quietly crouching in his arms, was startled by him and asked with some trepidation.
Yun Che’s gaze scanned the surroundings, and his mind was even more concentrated on his ears as he said in a low voice, “Xue’er, did you hear any sound just now?”
“Just now?” Feng Xue’er shook her head in confusion.
Just now, Yun Che clearly heard an incomparably light voice, that voice was very faint, it seemed to be a woman’s voice, and it was extraordinarily ethereal, making him completely unable to distinguish from which direction the voice was coming from, or …… could it be an illusion?
“Jasmine, that voice just now, did you hear it.” Yun Che asked with a condensed brow.
“Not at all.” Jasmine replied, “What did you hear?”
“…… “Even Jasmine didn’t hear it, which made Yun Che have to wonder if he was hallucinating just now. He collected his mind and quietly stood in place, his gaze scanning the surroundings for a long time, but he no longer heard any sound.
Yun Che continued to raise his feet and walked towards the top of the stone staircase, and after a long time, he finally arrived at the second floor of this ancient castle.
The greenish-black walls, the greenish-black floor and roof, everything was different from the first floor. Yun Che did not continue upwards and walked straight to an open stone door.
After the stone door, what was unexpected was a neat and simple, courtyard-like place. Inside, there were stone tables, stone benches, and a single tile jar that was the same greenish-black color, most of which were already broken. After the courtyard, there were seven or eight regularly distributed rooms, and Yun Che walked in, stood in front of the stone door of one of the rooms, and tentatively pushed it with his hand.
Immediately, on the right side of the stone door, a small Xuan Formation that was only the size of a palm flickered and appeared, and with the rotation of the Xuan Formation, the stone door slowly opened automatically.
“The doors here should all have this kind of Xuan Formation set up to facilitate opening and blocking. However, the Xuan power of these small Xuan formations is already very weak, and even you can easily destroy them. But to be able to exist from the ancient times until now, it is already extremely rare. The strength of the people who set up these Xuan formations are all absolutely extraordinary.” Jasmine said seriously.
“This place looks like it’s rather like a place used for living.” Yun Che walked into the middle of the stone room, which was furnished with a stone table, two stone stools, a cabinet-like stone shelf, and a stone bed that was wide enough. The arrangement of the other rooms should be roughly the same. This ancient castle was so huge that if it was used to house people, it was estimated that the entire Cangfeng Kingdom would be able to accommodate all of them when they arrived.
Yun Che turned around and realized that at the back of the stone door, there was a small Xuan Formation flickering slightly, appearing and disappearing. Its location was the same as the location of the Xuan Formation that was revealed when Yun Che pushed the door, it should be the same Xuan Formation, it was just that it could be seen from the inside, and could only be seen from the outside when touching the stone door.
“Try touching this Xuan Formation with your Xuan Force.” Jasmine suddenly said.
Yun Che stretched out his palm as he was instructed and struck a not too strong but not too weak Xuan Qi towards the Xuan Formation, and there was a rumble, and the originally opened stone door violently closed at an extremely fast speed.
“Indeed.” Jasmine said, “Touching this Xuan Formation on the inside can completely lock the stone door, making it so that it can only be opened from the inside and not from the outside. Rather, it is very suitable for self-defense. In the ancient times, all sorts of demons, beasts and monsters were rampant, so this basic means of self-defense should be very common, but, if someone destroys the Xuan Formation from the outside, it would in turn seal all of themselves inside.”
“Xue’er, let’s rest for a while.”
Yun Che walked over to that stone bed, then sat down against the wall, and under the relaxation of his spirit, the feeling of exhaustion hit him like a flood. He didn’t let go of Feng Xue’er, but changed his qualifications and still held her in his arms……. He could have completely taken out the bedding from the Heavenly Poison Bead and spread it on the stone bed, and then let Feng Xue’er lie down on it, but didn’t dare to obviously he didn’t want to give up. Because the feeling of just embracing the Snow Princess is enough to make any man so enamored that he doesn’t want to let go.
“You …… are …… who …… are ……”
Just sat down the body of Yun Che whole body slightly a jolt, head also lifted up at once, if the first time there is still a possibility that it is a delusion or hallucination, then this time, Yun Che by no means think that it will be a delusion! That voice just now, he heard it clearly …… was the exact same voice as before.
“Who are you? Who is talking to me?” Yun Che’s spirit condensed as he shouted. How could there be a woman’s voice in this ancient fortress that suddenly appeared in the middle of this Taikoo Xuan Boat, a place left over from the ancient past where Jasmine was sure that absolutely no living beings existed?
“You heard the voice again?” Jasmine asked in astonishment.
Since Jasmine asked this, it naturally also meant that she still had not heard the voice this time. It also meant that …… only Yun Che himself could hear that voice, and that voice, too, was only transmitted to Yun Che alone.
Yun Che was quiet for a long time again without hearing that voice again, and he sank his eyebrows and said, ”There must be someone in this ancient castle! It’s only that the distance to me should be very far, but she was able to know of my existence.”
“If it’s not your illusion, then it could only be a remnant soul.” Jasmine slowly said.
“Remnant soul?”
Jasmine’s voice was very flat, as if she had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, “And it should be an extremely weak residual soul, otherwise it wouldn’t be so difficult to even make a soul sound. You don’t have to go looking for her, since she went out of her way to consume her weak soul power to talk to you, it means that she seems to be very interested in you, and will also take the initiative to talk to you again, and the fact that you can’t get a response should be due to the fact that her soul power is so weak that every time she says a sentence, she will have to wait for a long time before she can say a second sentence.”
“Brother Yun, is there …… someone else?” Feng Xue’er raised her head in Yun Che’s arms and asked gently.
Yun Che shook his head, “No, it’s just that I seem to have heard something. Xue’er, you should be very tired, take a good rest, where we are now, no one can find us.”
Feng Xue’er gently shook her head, “I’m not tired …… Brother Yun is the one who is very tired.”
“I only need to rest for a short while, and I’ll be able to recover.” Yun Che smiled. With the body of a Dragon God and the power of the Great Dao Faust, his xuan energy and physical strength recovery speed was several times faster than that of an average person.
The two of them quieted down, after several hours of fleeing without daring to stop, their hearts were finally able to stabilize, and Yun Che was finally able to properly feel the soft jade in his arms, just gently holding the Snow Princess was perhaps a dreamy scene that all men would not dare to dream about. And Princess Snow was just like a supple kitten crouching in front of his chest, there was no struggle or rejection, only peace.
“Xue’er, has the Phoenix God of your Phoenix God Sect really passed away?” Yun Che asked in a soft voice. The answer to this question, Jasmine had told him, and the words of Night Singing Cold and Feng Fei Yan had done even further proof.
Feng Xue’er was silent for a short while before gently nodding her head, “Three years ago, Lord Feng Shen passed away in immortality. Sixteen years ago, the reason why Lord Feng Shen chose me after I was born was because it knew that its lifespan was about to end and it needed a successor with sufficient qualifications. I have followed Lord Phoenix God for thirteen years, and I have obtained all of Lord Phoenix God’s inheritance …… its source power, its soul power, all of the phoenix blood in its body, and all of its memories.”
Feng Xue’er’s words caused Yun Che to suddenly …… No wonder, at only sixteen years old, she had the strength of a half-step emperor, and no wonder she could easily recognize his bloodline, and was also so clear about the feud between the two Phoenix Spirits back then. Although the Phoenix Spirit of the Phoenix God Sect had died, he had passed down all of his source power, soul power and even memories to Feng Xue’er! Letting Feng Xue’er’s starting point be frighteningly high, the speed at which she grew, and the heights she would be able to reach in the future, would more than undoubtedly be astounding.
It was no wonder that Feng Xue’er’s status in the Phoenix God Sect was so high. Having inherited everything from the Phoenix God, after Feng Xue’er had fully grown up, she was clearly the second Phoenix God of the Phoenix God Sect! For the future Phoenix God, the Phoenix God Sect naturally had to protect her to the extreme! It must not allow her to have the slightest possibility of dying prematurely before she grows into adulthood.
“The matter of the Phoenix God’s immortal death is only known to Father, the Grand Elder, Crown Prince Brother, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, and me …… a total of six people. Father said that it was the biggest secret of our clan, and that it must never be leaked out, not even to the people of the same clan. However, the next year, the four holy places kept transmitting voices to try to find out about Lord Phoenix God, as if they all knew that Lord Phoenix God was already gone.Father was also very angry and puzzled, and had been guessing that it might be that the holy places could not perceive the breath of Lord Phoenix God anymore, and only then would they try to find out …… I didn’t expect that it would be… …”
Feng Xue’er’s voice was sad, she still hadn’t been able to ease up from the betrayal of the Grand Elder, and at the same time, she couldn’t help but worry about the future of the Phoenix God Sect. Without the Phoenix God’s deterrent, the Phoenix God Sect would definitely struggle under the Four Great Sacred Lands’ suppression without any more scruples – over the past 5,000 years, the Phoenix God Sect had been able to develop so rapidly under the watchful eyes of the Four Great Sacred Lands, and had the vague momentum of reaching the level of a Sacred Land, and the existence of the Phoenix God was the only reason for that.
Yun Che sighed in his heart, but did not feel too surprised. In any power, the people who were most prone to having dissent were often the people who were above ten thousand people and below one person or a limited number of people, because these types of people knew the most, were closest to the peak position, and even had an insight into all of the strengths and weaknesses of the entire power, which made it extremely easy for dissent to arise at a certain opportune moment. If the Phoenix God Sect had remained so strong, Feng Feiye’s dissent would not have awakened until his death, but with the Phoenix God’s demise, while he was terrified for the future of the Phoenix God Sect, he was also terrified and uneasy for his own future, and thus, after weighing the situation, he chose to defect to the Sun Moon Divine Palace at the earliest possible time.
If Yun Che and Xia Yuanba had not been present, he would have already helped Night Singing Cold achieve his goal, allowing Feng Xue’er, who was pouring out the greatest hopes of the Phoenix Godly Clan, to fall into Night Singing Cold’s hands, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
“It’s okay, this is good. Not only did they not succeed this time, but they were completely exposed. Otherwise, the later it is exposed, the more dangerous it would be instead.” Yun Che comforted.
“Well …… ” Feng Xue’er softly answered, “It’s all because of Brother Yun, if it wasn’t for Brother Yun, I would have …… already …… Father Emperor known about it, he would definitely be very grateful to Brother Yun as well.”
“It’s good that your Father Emperor he no longer kills me.” Yun Che laughed a little, he didn’t believe that Feng Hengkong had let Feng Fei Yan act alone just to protect Feng Xue’er, killing him was bound to be one of the purposes as well. However, he then thought for a moment …… that after Feng Hengkong knew about today’s events, he would definitely also have his pressure multiplied, and there was also the possibility of tearing his face off with the Sun Moon Divine Palace, and at that time, he probably wouldn’t have the heart to hunt him down and kill him either.
“The Four Great Sacred Lands have now all learned of the news of the Phoenix God’s passing, and they should also all know that you have inherited the Phoenix God’s body, and that Night Singing Cold has designs on you, and the other three Sacred Lands might also be eyeing you in regards to this.” Yun Che closed his eyes, somewhat distressed and worried, “It’s just that, my strength is still too weak after all, and I simply don’t have the ability to protect you, or else …… I might have directly snatched you away from your father’s hands, so that the people of both your clan and the Holy Lands wouldn’t be able to find you.”
“Hehe ……” Feng Xue’er spread her face and smiled, “I’m so happy that brother Yun wants to protect me so much …… If it’s brother Yun who wants to snatch me away, I might not resist oh.”
“That’s what Xue’er said herself!!!” Yun Che also smiled, “If one day I really want to snatch Xue’er away, Xue’er must not be allowed to ……”
“The Heavenly …… Poison …… Bead ……”
Yun Che’s words came to a crashing halt, and that mysterious and ethereal woman’s voice rang out for the third time. And this time, what she said was no longer “Who are you”, but clearly ……
Heavenly Poison Bead!
