Chapter Seventy-Five: Wind Strings

  Although he had repelled the female knight, Bai Cangdong also felt that his martial skills were insufficient. Feng Ling was indeed a very useful martial skill, but it was more inclined towards harassment and control, making it very difficult to use Feng Ling to kill someone.

  "Your relationship with Yan Mengyun is not ordinary?" Bai Cangdong returned to the other courtyard, where Feng Xian had been waiting for him.

  "We've all been in Dōron's company for a while, and our relationship is still pretty good." said Bai Cangdong.

  "She didn't know you were Viscount Masquerade?" Feng Xian asked again.

  "She doesn't know."

  Feng Xian's eyebrows slightly opened up, and a hint of a smile appeared on her face: "What are your plans, will you stay in Feng Hua City or leave now?"

  "I want to go to the bottom of the abyss, will you take me there?" Bai Cangdong smiled.

  "You and Yan Mengyun are so close, let her take you there." Feng Xian gave him a white eye and turned to walk away.

  Bai Cang's face turned pale as he shook his head and pulled up a chair to sit down, but he didn't know what to do. The "Bei Ye Jing" made him somewhat afraid to continue cultivating, for it was indeed an evil art of the "Long Life Technique". Last time when he used the white divine light against Hua Qian Wu and others, it did not trigger that endless killing intent.

  "Could it be that the murderous intent triggered by the 'Bai Ye Jing' only takes effect when I'm killing the Undead?" White Eastern speculated.

  In the Earl's residence, Feng Hua Earl's face didn't look too good. Hua Qianwu and Ling Bo had failed to intercept Viscount Mask's actions, so she personally chased after him. As a result, she couldn't even see Viscount Mask's shadow, and returned empty-handed.

  "Who is that white-haired old man?" Countess Fenghua was painting. Every time she painted, it was when her mood was particularly bad.

  The female knight standing behind Viscount Windflower replied, "She's a friend Missy made when she was at the Kōrin Society, and now she's the president of the Kōrin Society."

  "These past years I've neglected too many things, even the president of Kōrinsha changed and I didn't notice." Fūka sighed once more, then continued to ask: "Is he Viscount Masquerade?"

  The female knight replied, "I also had my doubts, so I made a probing attack on him. His innate divine light has already exceeded twenty units, while Viscount Masked only has less than ten units. No one can increase their innate divine light by so many units in such a short period of time."

  "So that's what he meant, he shouldn't be Viscount Mask." Earl Fenghua also didn't believe that someone could raise their Divine Light by more than ten levels in such a short period of time.

  "The Earl has his own judgment."

  "Go, take good care of Meng Yun, I don't want her to be disturbed."

  "Yes." The female knight bowed and withdrew.

  Bai Cangdong lived in a separate courtyard, deeply feeling the decline of the Feng family, especially after Feng Huajun took back the Wind Legion, the former number one family of Fenghuacheng thoroughly declined.

  "I may not be able to take you to the bottom of the abyss, go find Yan Mengyun and think of a way." Feng Xian arrived at another courtyard, her face looking very bad.

  "What happened?" asked Bai Cangdong.

  "In the past, our Wind Family was able to allocate the Eight Trigrams Celestial Pearl because of the Wind Army. Now that the Wind Family no longer controls the Wind Army, it's only natural that we won't be allocated that one Eight Trigrams Celestial Pearl." A hint of anger flickered across Feng Xian's face.

  "I remember that the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King did not get beheaded when he appeared at the Undead Altar last time." Bai Cangdong said suddenly.

  "No, but because of the Undead Altar, the Eight-eyed Heavenly King left Qing Shi Ping. After the Undead Altar returned to the void, it did not return to Qing Shi Ping either. The Knights have looked for it several times, but they couldn't find any trace of that Eight-eyed Heavenly King."

  "I'll go take a look in the Abyss, and if I'm lucky, I might be able to find it." Bai Cangdong wanted to make a trip to the Abyss, but it wasn't entirely for the sake of Tianjun.

  He is now too lacking in viscount-level martial skills, so he wants to hunt and kill viscount-level undead, get their equipment, and see if the sword box will absorb those equipment, allowing him to learn new martial skills.

  Of course, it would be better if you could find Eight Trigrams Heavenly King.

  "So many people from the Knights Templar can't find it, what's the use of you going alone." Feng Xian gave him a white eye, she would never put her hopes on something as elusive as luck: "I have a way to find the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King, but killing it is another matter altogether. You know my current situation, and you can't reveal your identity either. How are we going to kill the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King? We need to study it carefully."

  "Can you find the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King?" Bai Cangdong's eyes lit up, but in fact he didn't have much hope of finding the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King either.

  "It's not me, but a very special person who can definitely find the trail of Eight Eyes Tian Jun."

  "Who is so fierce?"

  "You'll know when you get there."

  After going, Bai Cangdong really knew who Feng Xian said was, because he had seen that person before.

  The owner of the "Seven Strings" armed store, Bai Cangdong's messy armor was bought from him.

  "Seventh Uncle." Feng Xian called out sweetly.

  "Seeing you, this girl is bound to be up to no good." The shopkeeper sighed.

  "Seventh Uncle, how can you say that about your lovely and beautiful niece?" Feng Xian said with a pout.

  "I don't know your personality yet, you're just like that deadbeat old man of yours, no profit no early rise. Speak up, what brings you to me?" The shopkeeper's words were harsh, but his eyes showed affection, clearly not really disliking Feng Xian.

  "Feng's family situation now, Seventh Uncle should have heard about it too." Feng Xian sighed.

  "The Wind Clan's army is gone, and that's good. It hasn't been our Wind Clan's army for a long time anyway. In the past, all the members of the Wind Clan's army were our family's children, but now look at how many people with the surname 'Wind' are left in the army? Not one. Our family has only you left in this generation, and as long as you're safe, everything else can just go its own way." The shopkeeper paused, looking at Feng Xian with a pained expression: "Unfortunately, your fate is damaged, but I'm powerless to do anything about it. Your seventh uncle is useless."

  "Seventh Uncle, I've long since given up. Even if the fate plate hadn't been damaged, I wouldn't have had any chance of being promoted to earl." Feng Xian was quite calm about it.

  "Little fairy, speak up, is there anything I can help you with?"

  "The last revived Octocularis hasn't been hunted down yet, the Knights have looked for it several times but couldn't find any leads. I was wondering if you could lend a hand, Seventh Uncle, and help us track down that one Octocularis."

  The shopkeeper slightly furrowed his brow: "What do you want to find Eight-eyed Heaven King for? It's not easy to kill it, and the probability of getting a piece of the Eight-eyed Heaven King suit is extremely low. At most, you can only get a few Eight-eyed Heaven pearls."

  "We just want the Eight Trigrams Sky Pearl," said Feng Xian.

  "Didn't the countess give us, the Feng family, the Eight Treasures Tianshu? The shopkeeper was furious: "In vain did our Feng family work hard for her generation after generation, even if there was no merit, there was hard work, but she actually did it so ruthlessly."

  "That one part of our Wind Family was originally allocated to the Wind Legion, now that the Wind Legion no longer belongs to us, it's normal that we don't get the Eight Trigrams Sky Pearl."

  "Hmph, that woman's lifespan is almost up, but her mind is getting more and more vicious. A woman like this would be better off dying early to avoid harming even more people." After cursing for a couple of sentences, the shopkeeper said to Feng Xian: "You go back and prepare, I'll accompany you tomorrow into the Abyss to hunt down the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King. If that woman won't give us the Wind Family's... we'll just take it ourselves."

  After leaving the armory, Bai Cangdong looked at Feng Xian with some curiosity and asked: "Is that shopkeeper really your uncle? Why isn't he in the Feng family, but instead opened such a small armory?"

  "My seventh uncle was a stunning talent in his youth, the most gifted and talented person of my father's generation. Unfortunately, due to one thing, he suffered a severe blow, his will completely collapsed, gave up the path of promotion, and no longer cared about the affairs of the Wind family. He opened a small arms shop to make a living, which is also a kind of liberation. If it wasn't for being forced, I really didn't want to disturb him."

  "What on earth happened that made a powerful viscount give up his path to promotion and be willing to wither away in a small arms shop?"

  "I'm also not very clear about it. My father and Seventh Uncle rarely mentioned it, I just made some guesses based on their occasional words, it's related to the death of my Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle and Sixth Uncle."

  Bai Cangdong seemed to have understood something and didn't ask further. After thinking for a moment, he asked another question: "What is your seventh uncle's name?"

  "Feng Xian, his title is just the name of the Wuxiang shop." Feng Xian replied.

  The next morning, Bai Cangdong and Feng Xian arrived at the agreed location outside the city. Feng Xuan was already there waiting for them, wearing a full set of green armor, with two bronze swords hanging from his waist and a round shield on his back. His figure stood tall and straight, exuding an air of a seasoned warrior.

  Seeing Feng Xuan's shield, Bai Cangdong remembered that he had extorted a giant shield from Hua Qianwu, which was indeed a good thing, but unfortunately he didn't know how to use the shield, so it hadn't been useful at all.

  "Follow me." Feng Xuan led the way into the abyss, his nose twitching constantly as he sniffed around, then pointed out the direction to proceed.

  Bai Cang's expression was somewhat strange; it was his first time seeing someone use their nose to find an undead.

  "Qiū Shū's sense of smell was born different from ordinary people, and he could distinguish the scent of the undead left in the air and on objects. As long as he had enough time, there was no undead that Qiū Shū couldn't find."

  "Xiao Xian'er, don't try to exaggerate for me. I can only distinguish the lingering scent of the undead within three days. If we can't find the area where Bā Mù Tiān Jūn was active within three days, then it's definitely gone."

  The wind string heard the left and smelled the right, not only to find the whereabouts of the eight-eyed heavenly king, but also to avoid many other undead troubles, and soon they went deep into the abyss.

  "It's here. No wonder the Knights couldn't find Hachimonji, it actually entered the Kuyo Cave." Fūgen stopped in front of a mountain cave and a look of joy appeared on his face.

  "It's actually in the ancient demon cave. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us three to rush in and kill the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King." Feng Xian furrowed her brow.

  Only Bai Cangdong didn't know what kind of place Gu Yao Dong was, looking at Feng Xian and Feng Xuan with a puzzled face.
