Chapter 958: The Young Master Is Back!
"All members of the Dong family have returned to their territory, and have gone into seclusion! No member has come out since!"
A kneeling man earnestly recounted everything he had seen as he addressed the man sitting in the main chair of the great hall.
"I see... thank you for your hard work, you may go and rest!"
"Thank you, patriarch!"
The man nodded respectfully and left the room in an instant.
Feng Junze, the patriarch of the Feng family in the Cultivation World, the Heavenly Sun Continent, frowned deeply filled with worry and ill omen.
''I don't like this at all, father. That Dong Hong has sealed off his territory and everyone in his family is in complete seclusion, makes me think that he is up to something!" Feng Junze looked at the old man beside him, telling him of his anxieties.
"You're right, I find it very strange too..."
Feng Ye, the ancestor of the Feng family, nodded seriously at his words. His complexion completely serious, he looked at Feng Junze for a moment before saying, "The Yuan family and the Miao family, although they have reduced their movements by becoming more cautious, they are still active and trying to recover, especially the Yuan family."
The patriarch and ancestor of the Yuan family had been killed by Ling Tian and his disciple, so the main strength and support of the family has undoubtedly fallen, and it will not be long before the Yuan family loses its position and becomes a second-rate family.The Miao family also lost its ancestor much earlier, so it will undoubtedly decline in strength and power, though not as much as the Yuan family.
"Dong Lin's last words have me somewhat worried..." Feng Junze pursed his mouth and added, "It's as if he has a terrifying ace up his sleeve, which may give us an unexpected blow altogether."
Even with the recent increase in his strength, Feng Junze could still feel that intuition of future danger, indicating to him that even if he managed to reach the pinnacle of the world, he would lose.
"The immortal young master told me to be very careful and we should not to act recklessly."
Suddenly, Feng Ye said with seriousness.
Feng Junze was briefly stunned before snorting in annoyance, "Hmph! Don't remind me of that philandering bastard!" His teeth clenched, grinding with hatred.
A vein stood out on Feng Junze's temple as he recalled Ling Tian, with intense anger and even a trace of jealousy at seeing that his beloved and adored daughter, Feng Zhiyun, was totally infatuated with Ling Tian. Feng Zhiyun had even told them that Ling Tian had rescued them in that mysterious little Hongmeng kingdom, thus further reaffirming her infatuation for him.
When Feng Junze heard that Feng Zhiyun said that she had discovered that Ling Tian had more than one woman apparently, and causing Feng Zhiyun to be much more determined, Feng Junze insulted Ling Tian in all directions of the sky. However, Feng Junze had caused Feng Zhiyun to stop talking to him and ignore him due to him insulting Ling Tian.
Feng Ye looked at his son's reaction and could not help but let out a helpless sigh.
''Aren't you being unreasonable, Junze? I remember when you were young you had a different mentality and thoughts..."
"You said it yourself, father! That was before! It was when I was an irrational and ignorant youth!"
Feng Junze reluctantly replied to Feng Ye when he understood the intent of his words. Feng Ye shook his head, before laughing inwardly.
Before Feng Junze married Feng Qiangxun, he was a fearless and brash young man, and Feng Junze was in agreement with polygamy and having multiple dual cultivation partners, even wishing to have multiple wives in the future. Unexpectedly, Feng Junze encountered an insurmountable sky that cut off and changed his youthful desires and thoughts from the root about having multiple women and only being sufficient with one woman, Feng Qiangxun, whom he ended up marrying only her eventually, and thus forming his current family and having two children.
Undoubtedly, seeing another young man having multiple women, awakened that deep desire he had since young, so Feng Junze couldn't help but feel envious, jealous, worried, hateful and more towards Ling Tian, especially when his daughter is involved.
"Alright..." Feng Ye shook his head with a faint smile. Looks like he will have to have a very good talk with Feng Junze and make him change his mind regarding his granddaughter's matters.
* Thump~ *
Suddenly, both Feng Ye and Feng Junze felt a faint ripple of spiritual energy. Some protective formations were activated as something seemed to want to pass through them.
Their gazes crossed and they both disappeared from the great hall as they headed towards the place where the formation protecting the Feng family's residence had been activated.
...
"Ji'er, didn't the young master tell you when he'll be back for us?"
A male voice, from a good-looking, mature adult, attracted the attention of a beautiful, elegant maid who was quietly playing with two toddlers.
"Young master told me that when he finished doing his business he would come for us."
Di Ji, wearing a beautiful but elegant robe that had faint hints of belonging to the servants, but still standing out like a pure princess, replied to her father about what she knew of Ling Tian. A soft smile emerged on her immaculate face.
"My dear, the young master must have his own difficulties in order to come..."
An adult woman, but still beautiful in appearance, entered the room and replied with a smile to the man, who is her husband, and she added at once, "Besides, from what we know, the young master would not easily give up our Di Ji, he is probably looking for a way to return to this world, we just have to wait!"
After staying for a long time in the Feng family, Feng Ye would send them countless cultivation resources, as well as teach them about cultivation and the necessary knowledge that all cultivators must have. Feng Ye even taught them personally sometimes. This made them reach the peak of the foundation establishment realm despite their ages!
It was then that they learned that this world was one world among many, and that there would be unknown powerful experts in the universe. Feng Ye also explained to them that Ling Tian was not from this world, and that his place of origin is another world, probably far superior to this one where experts abound in every place.
"I know, dear. It's just that since we arrived we haven't been able to help much in this place, let alone help the young master at all... I feel we are taking advantage of the young master's relationship with this family's ancestor." Di Ji's father responded with a somewhat helpless and anxious expression.
They are not so ignorant, let alone foolish. The greatness of this Feng family is undoubtedly something they could never have imagined even if they had the blessing of all their ancestors together, the Feng family has unimaginable power and controls a large part of the Heaven Territory, in other words, it owns an area of the entire world!
The Feng family, the Long family, the Simu family, the Li family, the City where Di Ji had been working before, as well as the families of the place where they had worked almost all their lives, are nothing compared to this hegemon of the world known as the Feng Family of the Heaven Territory. A single move, even a single word, can change heaven and earth in many parts of the world!
Being under the wing of this mighty family is undoubtedly an honour for them, but at the end of the day, they are a humble but hardworking family, who swore loyalty to Ling Tian. In this place, they cannot work, let alone be of any help to Ling Tian... they even had servants at their disposal, when previously they were the servants of the other families! What an irony of life!
Although it was Ling Tian himself who asked them to stay here temporarily, they still cannot feel at ease. If it wasn't for the Feng family's insistence and good treatment towards them, telling them that they don't have to work to pay for their stay, the Di family wouldn't really know what to do.
"I just hope the young master won't take too long to come back..."
Di Ji's father let out a sigh and looked at Di Ji, who had unexpectedly frozen in place with a dazed expression as her eyes fell on the small jade hanging from her neck.
"Ji'er, are you alright? What's wrong with you?"
Di Ji's father became worried and looked at his daughter somewhat anxiously. Di Ji's mother was also worried and approached her daughter to support her.
"It's the young master! The young master is back!"
Finally, Di Ji exclaimed in joy as she saw the small jade token on her chest begin to glow, emitting a faint familiar aura from within, seeming to react with a specific aura.
Wasting no time, Di Ji turned into a flash of lightning, disappearing from the room in a split second.
Di Ji's father and mother were stunned, just as the kids watched in amazement as their older sister seemed to disappear in an instant.
Two seconds had barely passed when the expressions of both adults brightened as they understood what was happening. They took their children and followed Di Ji's trail.
...
* Crack! *
A void crack of just over 10 meters gradually opened up over the sky, above several buildings inside the Feng family's residence. A terrifying force surged lightly, sweeping slightly around within a radius of several meters.
The guards passing by noticed this anomaly and took up their weapons, gathering their auras and flowing their cultivation essences when they sensed a terrifying energy coming from the spatial crack, sensing that it might be a powerful enemy. Several more guards arrived within seconds when an alarm sounded.
"Stop! There is nothing to be alarmed about!"
An authoritative voice echoed through the place, stunning the guards for an instant and forcing them to put away their weapons. Their heads turned and they looked in the direction of the two individuals who had flown into the place as well.
"Patriarch!"
"Ancestor!"
The guards cupped their fists in respect when they saw Feng Junze and Feng Ye, they held their ranks but still continued to watch the spatial rift with seriousness.
A figure flashed almost at once, attracting the gaze of everyone in the place.
Di Ji arrived with so much excitement that she didn't even look at the Patriarch or the Feng family's Ancestor, not even the guards, and only concentrated her gaze on the spatial rift. Her eyes were filled with excitement and the anxious anticipation in her heart intensified.
Feng Ye smiled in amusement and Feng Junze's face soured as his thoughts were confirmed, knowing that the next guest was the one they were thinking of.
Within the void rift, more destructive force surged, as if it was inevitable and at the same time it was demonstrating the arrival of a terrifying creature that would bring destruction.
Finally, a slender human figure crossed the void, seeming to cross space-time surprisingly, and appearing in front of them. The rift collapsed silently and disappeared, causing no further destruction.
A beautiful, handsome and perfect male face, with a good body in sight, wearing a simple but elegant robed that exuded grandeur and elegance, but above all, with long shining white hair, combining extravagance with mystery, made the individual exude an inviolable majesty.
"Young Master!"
Di Ji's beautiful face lit up with joy reaching its peak, she didn't even hesitate and the next instant she had thrown herself towards Ling Tian, embracing him happily as she buried her face in Ling Tian's chest.
