Chapter 397: Human-Faced Peach!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Outside the cave, Hu Yue and the rest were waiting with bated breath. Bei Feng had saved their life and more importantly, they had avenged Zheng Jun who was their teacher and foster father. They naturally did not wish for anything to happen to their benefactor.

Loud booming noises drifted out from behind the metallic door constantly, but Hu Yue and the rest did not dare to go in. They were worried that they might end up dragging Bei Feng's group behind.

"Bang!"

The cave shook violently, and a huge cloud of dust and volcanic ash blasted out. Hu Yue and the rest who were standing outside were directly sent flying.

"What's going on, why was there such a huge explosion!"

Hu Yue and the rest looked at each other with shock. Everyone was covered in dust, and some of them even suffered some light internal injuries.

The blast came suddenly, but it disappeared just as quickly. The entire underground base was left in shambles. But fortunately, its structure was very strong, and the main areas had not collapsed.

Bei Feng unfurled his wings and looked up with a grim expression. He hadn't expected that Marlo would actually have such a trump card remaining.

"Hmph!"

Bei Feng spat coldly. This blast had been too sudden. It was fortunate that he'd quickly reacted. Despite this, he was still the closest one to the explosion and received some light injuries,

But what really angered Bei Feng was the damage to the Mystics. The pages of the Book of Spiritual Contract began to burn, leaving only one page intact.

Without further hesitation, Bei Feng rushed out of the chamber and searched for Mystic One and the rest.

Bei Feng's mental power surged outwards, covering everything 100 meters around him. Within a few minutes, he found the heavily injured Mystic One.

Bai Xiang was completely fine in comparison. When Bei Feng found Bai Xiang, he was dragging Lion King behind him like a dead dog and smiling happily as he walked towards Bei Feng.

"Come, let's go."

Bei Feng let Bai Xiang brought the unconscious people along and left the underground base. As for the matters of the underground cave, there would naturally be people who'd come to clean things up.

With regards to the death of Mystic Three and the rest, Bei Feng did not have much feelings for them in the first place. All things considered, these people could be counted as having great luck already. They should have died many years ago, but Bei Feng had spared their lives, even granting them a lifestyle that they could not have imagined in the past. In a sense, it was already worth it.

Bei Feng's group rushed out of the cave and completely ignored Hu Yue and the rest who had come over to greet him, quickly disappearing into the woods.

Two days later, Bei Feng returned to the villa. Mystic One had been injured quite heavily, but managing to survive through such a terrible explosion was already a great stroke of fortune.

Bai Xiang had also incurred some internal injuries, and needed to recuperate for a period of time.

The Martial Practitioners Control Department had gone all out these few days, wiping out countless illegal organizations and the clans that were in cahoots with them.

But all these matters had nothing to do with Bei Feng anymore. He was only in charge of the operations in his region, and the other matters were settled by others.

Time flowed by quickly, and it was almost September in the blink of an eye. The boiling temperature began to drop steadily.

Bei Feng sat calmly by the well, with a fishing rod in his hands.

Within one of the Myriad Worlds, countless sects and clans received a Celestial Order at the same time.

Right, a Celestial Order! The cultivation standard of this world was extremely high, with cultivators reaching the level of deities and soaring into the skies!

The order this time was to have all the various sects look for the celestial root of a kind of plant called the Human-Faced Peach. This fruit was a spirit herb that could move even the celestials!

Although it was classified as a spirit herb, it was actually a strange tree of the evil path. The nutrients it needed to absorb to grow were actually humans!

The Human-Faced Peaches nourished using the body of powerful experts could create even stronger medicinal effects!

And the more people it fed on, the stronger the energy contained within it!

The Human-Faced Peach Tree was originally discovered in this world full of celestials, but during their battle over it, the tree was lost by accident!

But these celestials could not descend to the mortal world, so they could only pass down a Celestial Order, letting the various sects and clans in the mortal world do the searching for them.

As for whether the Human-Faced Peach tree was evil or not, that was not a matter important enough for these celestials. At their current level, every step forward in cultivation required large amounts of time and resources. But if they could nurture a Human-Faced Peach, they could improve their cultivation rapidly!

After the orders were passed down, the various sects all started to move together.

Of course, not everyone was content to do the work for those old fellows who had already ascended. Many of them already had their own plans. A spirit herb that could interest the celestials to such an extent was definitely not normal. Why should they give it to those old bastards who had already ascended if they could keep it for themselves?

In any case, these people could not descend to the mortal realm, and hence, this was an excellent opportunity!

However, the mortal world was simply too large. This world was known as the Cloud Sea Continent, and was separated into 81 large land masses. No one knew where the Human-Faced Peach could be.

The huge city within Sky Pearl Province is the heart of 10,000 li of land. And, the city lord's Lin Clan was the ruler.

The clan has hundreds of Golden Dan experts, and over ten thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators! They had already existed for more than ten thousand years.

Countless mega-cities like this existed in Sky Pearl Province; it was easy to imagine how massive the land was.

The Lin Clan's strength was top tier in the region. Everyone was under the rule of them and they were akin to a small-scale kingdom.

The Sky Pearl Province could only be counted as a medium low tier power in the 81 lands. If it were one of the top ten provinces, could a power like the Lin Clan hope to be the controller of a mega-city? They would be annihilated in the blink of an eye!

"Ai, this is such a troubling period. A small city in the North West region was recently destroyed by a Demonic Beast horde, causing the death of millions of people and cultivators. The Blazing Cloud 13 Bandits of the South is also becoming more unbridled in their ways, daring to kidnap the Lin Clan's young master! And after receiving the ransom, they actually killed the boy! What a tragic era."

Three youngsters gossiped excitedly as they sat within a posh restaurant.

With just a single glance, it was obvious that the food was not ordinary. The steam rising from the dishes was so rich in Heaven Earth essence that a dense mini-cloud had formed above it. Each rice kernel was crystal-clear and gleamed like pure jade.

"I know, right? I don't know what's going on lately, but I heard that about a dozen small clans in the city had already been wiped out. Furthermore, many rogue cultivators had gone missing, and a large portion of them had been killed. The City Lord is furious as expected, but there's been no results from the investigations even after a month.

But the moment the City Lord calls off the investigations, the clan annihilation incidents started again with increased fervor. Right now, even the large clans are worried. Everyone is looking towards the City Lord manor for guidance," a young man added.

The three youngsters were all members of three small clans in the city. They were pretty close, and would gather for a meal once in a while. This chat lasted until late at night.

The three bade their farewell and left separately.

"Peng!"

Hua Yun walked along the alley and as he made a turn, a hand blade landed on his neck as a black-robed man appeared behind Hua Yun.

Even with Hua Yun's peak Qi refining cultivation, he was unable to react in time. From this, one could see how high the assailant's cultivation was!

With a swift movement, the black-robed man picked Hua Yun up and left. In a short moment, they entered into a heavily guarded building. After that, they disappeared into a discreet passageway.

When Hua Yuan regained his consciousness, he realized that his cultivation had been sealed. His dantian was completely bereft of energy, and as he looked at the people beside him, Hua Yun was even more shocked!
