Volume 1 Chapter 20: Meeting Ouyang Feng Again

  The big black one that had been yearned for nearly twenty years, seeing the Dry Universe Clock in front of him, hesitated and didn't dare to go up immediately, but instead surrounded the circular high platform, turning around it several times, with a very solemn expression.

  Qin Luoyi knew her concerns and didn't rush, standing on the side to stare for a while. However, apart from refining pills and talismans, she wasn't very proficient in array methods. Looking left and right, she only felt that the intricate carvings and strange texts on the high platform were similar to those engraved on ancient sacrificial altars, but what they were used for, she couldn't see at all.

  Turned his head and looked elsewhere.

  Apart from the Qian Kun Bell and white skeleton on the circular platform, there were dozens of colorful crystals in the cave. She walked over to pick one up and took a look, only to discover that the spiritual energy inside had all been depleted, rendering them completely useless.

  After a moment of hesitation, she still put all the crystal stones into her space. Things that can be favored by the ancient tribe's holy master and placed here must not be ordinary items. She will take them out to study when she has time, so next time she encounters similar things, she won't miss them.

  "Is something wrong?" After circling around once more without any other gains, Qin Luoyi walked back to the side of the circular high platform and asked Da Hei who was still spinning around.

  "The patterns carved on this thing are eerie, if I'm not mistaken, it's an ancient mysterious array that can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If you recklessly barge in, the spiritual energy inside your body will be sucked dry!" Da Hei was extremely depressed.

  Qin Luoyi was shocked in her heart.

  As expected, the Holy Master of the ancient tribe is indeed worthy of his reputation. The technique of a Purple Mansion's peak cultivator can actually create such an eerie and unpredictable formation. She had heard of formations that could gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but this one might be able to extract the spiritual energy from a living person's body... What kind of terrifying formation is this?

  "This is troublesome." Qin Luo Yi lowered her head and pondered, unable to get close, naturally she couldn't obtain the Qian Kun Zhong. Let alone Da Hei who was anxious, even she was getting a bit anxious. After putting in so much effort, Da Hei had been chopped up until his skin was torn and flesh exposed... now there was even a meaty aroma wafting from his nose... anyone would be unable to bear watching the treasure right before their eyes.

  Puppets can't be used yet... Alright, even if they could, let him go up, with the crystal stone containing spiritual power installed in his body, as soon as he goes up, the spiritual power inside the crystal stone might be sucked dry.

  To verify Dahei's guess was correct, she extravagantly took out a spirit plant that wasn't weak in spiritual power, and gently tossed it towards the high platform.

  Only to see the originally calm and peaceful high platform, suddenly emitting a strange and terrifying aura, those strange texts seemed to come alive, floating in the air above the entire platform, flashing with golden dazzling light, the thrown spiritual plants were surrounded by those golden lights.

  A moment later, the platform returned to its original tranquility, and the spiritual seed she had thrown in turned into a withered branch, on which there was no longer any fluctuation of spiritual power.

  "Wah! I was right!" Dahei was on the verge of tears, staring at the high platform, wanting to rush up but not daring to.

  Qin's clothes fell, and her heart was still in shock. She pursed her lips, and a sharp glint flashed in her phoenix-like eyes: "It seems that getting the Dry Sky Bell won't work by force; we must break this formation."

  Dahuo's face was filled with defeat, and he muttered to himself: "Unfortunately, the secret book I saw last time was incomplete. It only recorded that there is such an array method, but it lacked the key to breaking the array."

  It muttered in an extremely low voice, and Qin Luoyi didn't hear clearly what it was muttering about. However, from its expression and the fact that it had circled around the high platform countless times just now, Da Hei would definitely not be able to crack the code.

  "Haha, it's actually the Dry Sky Bell! I've been searching for this thing for hundreds of years, and today I finally got what I wanted... It was worth all the effort!" A loud, excited laughter echoed in the mountain cave, followed by a flash of red light as a fat figure rushed towards the high platform.

  Fat Monk in Red!

  Qin Luo Yi and Da Hei were both startled at the same time, their faces turned very ugly, especially Da Hei who was muttering to himself, his eyes had even turned red. He stretched out a claw, about to grab towards Fat Monk: "You dead Fat Monk, that's my thing, you're not allowed to touch it!"

  The red-robed monk's figure didn't stop, and with a reverse hand, he slapped the big black thing out, laughing even louder: "This thing has been gone for tens of millions of years, now its master is dead, it's ownerless, since it's ownerless, naturally it belongs to someone who has fate with it, but it's not in your hands, when did it become this beast's thing?"

  The big black gas almost vomited blood, crawled up and jumped over quickly, facing the fat monk who had already stepped onto the high platform, barking wildly, and was about to lose control and rush up, Qin Luo Yi hurriedly came to stop it.

  Seeing its energetic appearance, the palm just now should not have seriously injured it, and the heart that was held up slightly let go.

  She secretly glanced at the black-robed man, signaling him to calm down. This fat monk unexpectedly didn't die, she was truly disappointed... Looking at that silver-clothed man with a confident expression, she originally thought the monk's chances of survival were slim!

  Dà Hēi finally calmed down, his reddened eyes locked tightly onto Pàng and Shàng, as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

  Qin Luo's red lips were pursed, her expression icy cold, also gazing up at the high platform. In the instant that Fat Monk stepped onto the high platform, the entire platform became dazzlingly brilliant. Characters in the shape of oracle bones floated continuously, and a powerful aura spread out from the altar.

  Fat Monk's massive body was completely enveloped in golden light, and those strange symbols were constantly floating around him, trying to imprint themselves on his body. However, on top of his head was a peculiar-shaped cyan jade stone with six edges, emitting a soft black glow that covered him from head to toe. The golden light and strange symbols couldn't affect him at all.

  He furrowed his brow, moving very slowly, and with each step he took on the high platform, it seemed as if he was exhausting all his strength.

  Fat Monk and Big Black are getting closer to the Qian Kun Bell, Qin Luo thinks of the Huang Shi Jing Yuan on his body... If he doesn't leave now, once Big Black comes out, he's afraid that even the Huang Shi Jing Yuan on his body won't be preserved!

  "We can forget about the Dry Kun Zhong for now, let's leave this place first. We know that thing is on him, we'll have plenty of chances later!" She whispered to Da Hei.

  Dahuo was reluctant, but he also knew that Qinyin's words were reasonable. As the saying goes, "As long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about firewood." He nodded and turned around, quickly rushing out of the cave with his beast.

  "Haha, this Qian Kun Zhong is finally mine!" The triumphant laughter of the red-robed monk came from behind, and without looking back, they ran even faster.

  "Hey, little girl, don't rush off!" Before they could even reach the array that could summon terrifying thunder from the sky, a massive red figure suddenly appeared behind them, laughing and blocking their path with an extremely passionate gaze: "I, the monk, have never killed innocent people indiscriminately. However, you took my things, so you must return them to me... As long as you hand over the stone, I will let bygones be bygones regarding what happened earlier."

  "Smelly monk, what stone is yours? It's obviously ours. You've already snatched our Qiankun Bell, and now you're even thinking of taking our other things. Don't you have any shame?" Qin Luoyi angrily said, but the corner of her eye glanced around, preparing to find an opportunity to slip away.

  Da Hei also furiously shouted to the sky: "Dead monk, return my Qian Kun Zhong!" Making a gesture as if he was about to attack him, but in reality, his mind was made up just like Qin Luo Yi's.

  In his heart, he secretly vowed that once he became stronger, he would definitely capture this dead fat monk and torture him thoroughly before snatching back the Qian Kun Zhong that originally belonged to him... That black jade stone from earlier wasn't bad either. This shameless dead fat monk must have stolen countless treasures from others.

  "Hmph, don't think about running away again. If you don't take out the thing today, none of you will be able to leave." Fat Monk's smile was pleasant, but a sharp, cold glint flashed in his dark eyes.

  He saw through her intentions, and Qin Luoyi's heart skipped a beat. However, her pretty face broke into a smile: "Last time, you also said we couldn't leave, but we still did."

  "If it weren't for that meddling fool, do you think you could have escaped from me?" As soon as he mentioned this, Fat Monk's anger suddenly flared up: "Hand over the stone quickly, and I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and crushing you to death, because I can still get it that way."

  "Is it?" Qin Luo's eyes flashed, looking at what was behind him, and smiled with deep meaning.

  Fat Monk was startled, thinking that the idiot who had been chasing him for tens of thousands of miles had caught up again. Fortunately, he managed to shake him off thanks to his familiarity with the terrain of Penglai Fairy Island. He suddenly turned his head back, but there was no one behind him.

  "Damn it!"

  He immediately sensed that something was wrong, and with a scowl on his face, he quickly turned around. Qin Luo Yi was already sitting on top of Da Hei, grabbing the opportunity to jump out and run away.

  Into the thunderous and lightning-filled formation, Qin Luo Yi put on the broken gourd with slight cracks on her head, covering herself and Da Hei.

  Fat Monk was furious, his huge body spread out like a giant roc, chasing after him at an extremely fast speed. However, his speed was fast, but the Big Black was not weak either, and he actually jumped out of the valley before Fat Monk could catch up to him.

  The gourd on their heads was chopped several times in a row and shattered completely as soon as they came out of the valley.

  And on the head of the Great Monk, was the strange jade stone he had gone to fetch the Qian Kun Bell earlier. The light from the jade stone enveloped him, and the fierce and terrifying thunderbolts were unable to strike his body at all.

  Qin Luo Yi sat on the back of the big black beast and turned her head to take a look, couldn't help but secretly marvel at it, wondering what kind of treasure that piece of jade was.

  "Smelly girl, where do you think you're going to run to?" Fat Monk flashed out of the valley, his figure even faster than lightning, and in the blink of an eye he was behind Qin Luoyi, slapping her heavily on the back.

  It's all over!

  Qin's clothes fell as a chill ran down her spine, this palm was incredibly fast, and she couldn't dodge it. She only felt an overwhelmingly powerful force rushing towards her body.

  Dà Hēi yě shì yòu jí yòu nù.

  Translation: Dahei was also anxious and angry.

  Fat Monk was over the moon, without that bastard's interference, he wanted to pinch Qin Luoyi and Da Hei to death, as easy as pinching an ant to death.

  Bang!

  "Ouch!"

  With a loud crash, a figure flew out like a broken kite and fell heavily dozens of meters away, wailing in agony.

  "It's you again! Ah, I'm going to die in pain... My bones are all broken!" The one who was sent flying wasn't Qin Luoyi, but rather the fat monk who had attacked him.

  Da Hei stopped in his tracks, overjoyed, thinking that Qin Luoyi, who had been unable to escape disaster, was first stunned and then burst out laughing, her eyes curved into a beautiful arc, more lovely than the faint moon in the starry sky, with a radiant glow flashing in her pupils like crystal.

  The person who slapped Fat Monk away with one palm and shook off his powerful spiritual power was none other than the silver-robed man who had blocked Fat Monk for them that day. Only today, he wore a white brocade robe, with a light and elegant demeanor, his eyes slanted, his face handsome, his eyebrows and eyes smiling, but unable to conceal the deep-seated arrogance and overbearingness in his eyes.

  "I didn't expect to run into you again, young master. You've saved me twice now, I'm eternally grateful." Qin's voice was clear and melodious, with a pleasant tone that was a joy to listen to.

  "It's just a small effort, don't mind it, Miss." The silver-robed man smiled with narrowed eyes and walked elegantly to her side. His gaze at the fat monk turned exceptionally fierce, his low and pleasant voice carrying a hint of annoyance: "This monk is too cunning, last time he actually took me to a very strange place and slipped away while I wasn't paying attention. Hmph, you can hide from me on New Year's Day, but not on the 15th, today you're bullying Miss again, if I let you get away this time, my name Ouyang Feng will be written in reverse!"

  What he didn't say was that dealing with this fatty, he didn't need to use any effort at all. The reason he chased him for so long was just because he was extremely bored and wanted to play a game of cat and mouse. Who would have thought that in the end, he actually lost the person? This lifetime, he had never done anything so embarrassing!

  Fat Monk's efforts were in vain, and he was extremely depressed. The name Ouyang Feng sounded unfamiliar, but he knew he wasn't his opponent's match; now that two of his bones were broken, he had truly fallen into his hands, with unbearable consequences.

  Ignoring the injuries on his body, which were extremely painful, he flipped over and got up, then rushed towards a distant place at the fastest speed of his life.

  "Damn monk, return my Qian Kun Zhong!" Da Hei shook its four legs and chased after him, Qin Luo Yi sat on its back, also being dragged along in the chase.

  "Don't worry, he can't escape! I said it, today I'll make him run, my name Ou Yang Feng, from now on will be written in reverse!" Ou Yang Feng narrowed his eyes, a charming smile, Qin Luo Yi and Da Hei only felt a flash before their eyes, a white figure had already blocked the way in front of Pang Hong Shang.

  Dahai was overjoyed, his face blooming with excitement. Pohan's face turned green with shock and he stared at him in disbelief: "How is that possible...?" How could his speed be so fast, was he even human?

  Ou Yang Ling ignored his shock, stretched out her finger, and a stream of spiritual energy shot out, drawing a circle with a diameter of about three feet around the monk's feet, enclosing him inside.

  "Run! If you have the ability, run now. As long as you can escape, I will never chase you again." Ouyang Feng stroked his chin, with a somewhat evil smile.

  "We can't let him go, he robbed us!" Dahei was furious, glaring fiercely at Pang and Shang, with a ferocious expression as if he wanted to pounce on him and bite his neck off.

  Qin Luoyi had already jumped down from Dahei's body, and the wound on Dahei's body caused by the lightning strike was very severe. Just now, in order to let that broken gourd block both of them and escape the pursuit of Pangzi and Shangshi, she had ruthlessly sat on him, but at this moment, she couldn't bear it.

  Ouyang Ling chuckled and patted Da Hei's head: "He wants to leave... but he must have the ability to get out of here."

  Qin Luo's gaze fell on the feet of Pao He Shang, her heart thoughtful. The cultivation of Ou Yang Feng was indeed stronger than she had expected.

  "What did you snatch from Luo Yi's girl? Hurry up and return it to her." Ouyang Ling said with a smile, his eyes narrowed. The fat monk saw his smiling face and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

  "That beast is bloodthirsty, Master Ouyang, I know you're a good person, you really wronged me, I didn't rob them of their things, on the contrary, they robbed me of a crystal that I had just managed to get..." He said this with some guilt in his heart, and after finishing speaking, he also realized it himself, hurriedly puffed out his chest to prove that what he said was true.

  "They robbed you?" Ouyang Feng sneered: "Do you think I'm a fool? You're framing me, with their skills, they can't even rob your stuff... If you want to lie, at least say something that can convince me!"

  Qin Luoyi's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile, and she looked at Ouyang Feng with admiration all over her face. Ouyang Feng smiled back at her, indicating that she shouldn't worry.

  "Hurry up and take it out, I'm not very patient... If you don't take it out, I'll do it myself!" Seeing that Fat Monk still hadn't taken it out, Ouyang Feng's expression was somewhat impatient.

  Did he take action?

  Fat Monk's eyes twitched, if he really had to take action, what he would lose might not be the Qian Kun Bell... Although his heart ached tightly, he still took out the Qian Kun Bell, his eyes full of resentment.

  Dà Hēi saw a Qian Kun clock and was extremely excited, lifting his foot to rush over and take it. Suddenly, ōu Yáng Liǔ reached out and restrained him.

  Ahh-ooo!

  Da Hei let out a low growl, his copper bell-sized eyes staring at Ouyang Feng, his heart on high alert... Could it be that this man was also someone who knew his stuff and had recognized the Qian Kun Zhong, which is why he wanted to back down?

  Qin Luo's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but the smile on her face remained unchanged. Her eyes, however, were filled with puzzlement as she gazed at him: "Young Master Ouyang..."

  Before he could even speak, Ouyang Feng had already released his grip on Da Hei's hand, took the Dry Sky Bell and glanced at it twice before handing it back to Da Hei: "This artifact isn't bad, no wonder you're a great monk who shamelessly went to fight with a young lady."

  Fat Monk's face turned green...... This is what he got with great effort, when did he go to grab it? Didn't expect to run into this bastard today, and ended up benefiting that beast and this little girl.

  Dahai excitedly took over, didn't bother to take a closer look, and handed it to Qinyin, using his eyes to signal her to quickly put it away.

  Qin's tense nerves also relaxed.

  "You've already taken the things, and you said what you said earlier counts. As long as I can walk out of here, you won't chase me again." Fat Monk reluctantly shifted his gaze from Qin Luoyi's body to stare at Ouyang Feng.

  "Haha, of course." Ouyang Feng took a few steps back, smiling at him, with an unusual glint in his dark eyes.

  Qin Luoyi and Da He also retreated a few steps, the relaxed mood had just risen again. If Pangzang really walked out... it's unlikely that he won't come back to snatch the Qiankun Bell after not too long, let alone she still has the Huangshi Jingyuan on her body, he definitely won't give up like this. And as for Ouyang Feng... he wouldn't be so lucky every time to run into him.
