Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 643 - 638: Seemingly Honest, Actually Cunning

Chapter 643 -638: Seemingly Honest, Actually Cunning

Hearing the call, Qin Feng couldn’t help but be taken aback.

This place was, after all, the Northern Domain. Who would have thought that he would actually encounter someone here who knew him?

Other than his unexpected visit to the Northern Domain this time, he had only interacted with Cultivators from the Northern Domain when he participated in trials in the Central Region, where he had met a few of them.

But the Northern Domain was so vast, and the number of Northern Domain Cultivators he had seen in Lingxiao City wasn’t large. Even fewer were those whose names he could actually remember, and those were mostly top young talents from various factions of the Northern Domain.

Could it be that he had encountered a top true inheritor from a Great Force here?

With a few threads of doubt, Qin Feng turned his head to look toward that mountain peak.

And then, he saw a group of more than a dozen people.

The strength of these people was mixed, high and low; some young talents were merely at the Golden Core Realm in terms of Cultivation.

Under normal circumstances, this was a sign that Sect Elders were leading their disciples on visits to fellow Daoists or assigning them some kind of experience-gathering missions.

Qin Feng looked carefully for a moment, then turned his gaze to one of the middle-aged men who was beaming a smile and bowing to him.

The man was of average build, his face bearing a smile that seemed somewhat simple and honest, giving off the impression of a trustworthy person on first sight.

“It’s him!”

Although Qin Feng had been busy non-stop these past few days, either Refining the Kunpeng Essence Blood or cultivating the Cave Heaven Core, his powerful Divine Soul afforded him an exceptional memory, and he recognized at a glance that the middle-aged man was one of the Cultivators he had rescued from the Demon Cultivator Li Qing back in the Beiming Immortal Mansion.

At that time, the man had even proactively given him a top-quality Spiritual Artifact and was exceedingly warm-hearted, which left a very good impression on Qin Feng.

“Ah ha, it truly is Daoist Fellow Qin.”

Han Shan had a cheerful smile on his face and had already flown over using Light Escape as he spoke, “Daoist Fellow Qin, you also left the Beiming Sea Domain. Where do you plan to go?

I, Han Shan, will never forget the favor of having my life saved by you. Previously in the Beiming Immortal Mansion, to not delay your chance, I didn’t have the opportunity to talk much. Now that Daoist Fellow Qin has left Beiming Sea Domain, please allow me to invite you to visit my family, so I may have the chance to express my gratitude as a host!”

“Eh?”

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and asked, “Didn’t you see me when I came out of the Beiming Immortal Mansion before?”

He felt a bit strange inside. Could it be that this man did not participate in the chase to kill him?

Otherwise, why would he be so calm and even invite him to visit?

Was this man truly honest, or was there some hidden reason?

“Tsk, don’t mention it!”

Upon hearing this, Han Shan let out a small sigh, “Something unexpected happened this time in the Beiming Immortal Mansion, and it sent us out ahead of time.

My Han Family spent a great deal to obtain one Guiding Token, but in the end, we didn’t get much, and I nearly lost my life in there. Had it not been for Daoist Fellow’s rescue, I probably would have been long gone.”

He shook his head, then continued, “After coming out, I intended to look for you, but who would have thought that those who did not get a Guiding Token were so aggressive—they charged out to try and snatch Treasures and opportunities for Proving Dao.

Since I wasn’t fully recovered from my injuries, and also because I didn’t gain much from the Beiming Immortal Mansion, I didn’t wish to join that great battle, so I withdrew early.

Ah, Daoist Fellow, you’re just returning now. Surely, you didn’t get involved in the fight and get injured, did you?”

“…I’m fine.”

Qin Feng looked deeply at the man for a few moments, finding it hard to see any impropriety in that honest expression, and thus he responded vaguely.

“It’s good that Daoist Fellow is unharmed!”

Han Shan’s face revealed a sincere smile, “It just so happens a few of our younger generation are returning from visiting friendly families, and I’m escorting them back home. Why not accompany me for a visit to my family where you can stay for a few days so I can repay Daoist Fellow’s kindness?”

“This…”

Qin Feng hesitated for a moment but then declined, “Let’s not this time, I have other urgent matters at hand. If fate wills it, I will visit your home in the future!”

“Eh, Daoist Fellow Qin, you’re being too modest.”

Han Shan hastily said, “My Han Family is not far from here, and we rely on the resources of Beiming Sea Domain for living. Since Daoist Fellow rarely comes to this area, how can I let you leave like this? I must invite you to visit my home.”

“Really, it’s not necessary.”

Qin Feng shook his head, “Matters are urgent for me, and I cannot afford to delay here. I won’t trouble you with a visit this time.”

“How can this be…”

Han Shan was about to say more but Qin Feng was already growing impatient.

Having been chased by so many Cultivators before, although he had temporarily escaped, staying here too long might mean getting caught up by others, potentially leading to trouble.

Besides, he didn’t have much of a relationship with Han Shan, and during such a critical period, it was wiser to interact less with those he was not very familiar with.

Moreover, even if the other party sincerely wanted to repay him, he couldn’t accept. Otherwise, if he accidentally brought trouble to Han Family, wouldn’t that harm them?

So he waved his hand, “No need for further persuasion, Daoist Fellow Han. I truly can’t stay long in Beiming right now, so I will take my leave.”

“Well then.”

Seeing he was determined to leave, Han Shan did not persist, “Should Daoist Fellow ever need anything, just let my Han Family know, and I shall do my utmost to repay the favor of saving my life!”

“You’re too kind.”

Qin Feng nodded, bowed in farewell, and left.

Watching Qin Feng’s figure fly further and further away, Han Shan’s originally enthusiastic and honest smile gradually vanished, replaced by a dark and gloomy expression.

“Uncle!”

From behind, a young-looking Dharma Image Cultivator flew forward and said in a low voice, “The person just now seemed to be…”

“Indeed, it was him.”

Han Shan nodded, reaching out to grab a Spirit Talisman.

As his True Yuan was infused into it, the Spirit Talisman flashed with light, briefly revealing a figure; from the body shape and features, if it wasn’t Qin Feng, who else could it be?

“It really is him!”

The Dharma Image Cultivator became excited, “Why didn’t the elder detain him just now? The Beiming Immortal Mansion might already recognize him as its master. If we catch him and take the Beiming Immortal Mansion for our family, then our Han Family might even become a top-level great clan one day, and perhaps even stand shoulder to shoulder with the Major Sects in the future.

It is said in the intelligence that this person is exceptionally skilled at Escape Skills. Once he gets away, it might be difficult to catch him again!

Uncle, if we pursue him now, we should still have time. With your Dao cultivation, you are surely superior to him, and with the assistance of me and the seventh junior, we can even suppress that Spiritual Beast he uses as a riding tool.”

“Hmph, what do you know?”

Han Shan snorted coldly, “This youngster is powerful, and his combat abilities are beyond imagination. What you saw was just what he deliberately revealed.

However, I didn’t expect that not only is his combat ability extraordinary, but his Escape Skill is also exceptional. It seems I have underestimated him.”

“What?”

The man was startled, “Even Uncle is not confident about capturing him?”

“What are you thinking?”

Han Shan glanced at his nephew, “Although I am not weak, I am indeed inferior to the other party. Unless I have the assistance of several other Primordial Spirit Realm experts, I definitely wouldn’t dare to engage him.

As for you, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to withstand a few exchanges before he would kill you on the spot!”

The man was shocked inside, “Is he that formidable?”

“Otherwise, why do you think I didn’t make a move on the spot?”

Han Shan’s tone revealed a bit of wistfulness, “Moreover, I can feel that his strength now is much more formidable than a few days ago. It looks like those Kunpeng Essence Blood have benefited him greatly.

This youngster has truly stumbled upon good fortune, which truly makes one envious!”

“Kunpeng Essence Blood?”

“Humph, now there’s probably more than just the Kunpeng Essence Blood.”

Han Shan’s eyes narrowed with concealed greed, “I had some doubts when those guys transmitted messages to me before, but combined with the Kunpeng Essence Blood, it’s a different story. The Beiming Cave Heaven World was originally a Grotto Heaven formed by the sacrifices of the Kunpeng Clan’s great powers. It’s only natural for this youngster to refine the Beiming Cave Heaven with Kunpeng Essence Blood!”

“Does that mean we can confirm that the Beiming Immortal Mansion is on his person?”

“Mm, indeed, it is very likely to be true.” freewebnσvel.cѳm

Han Shan shook his head with regret, sighing softly, “What a pity, the youngster is too cautious, unwilling to come back to the family with me. If only he had entered the family, I could have trapped him with the Immortal Array that guards the family. Then his life and death would be in my hands, and the Beiming Immortal Mansion would have fallen into my possession.”

“So… Uncle, what do we do now?”

The Dharma Image Cultivator also felt extremely regretful, “Should we immediately send for others to come and encircle and kill him? Although we’d have to share the spoils, it’s certainly better than coming away empty-handed, right?

Let’s pursue him now; otherwise, if he gets too far, it might be difficult to find his trail again!”

“No rush, no rush!”

Han Shan said with a composed air, “I have already made preparations; he won’t be able to escape!”

“Ah… When did Uncle make the preparations? How come I didn’t notice?”

“How could it remain hidden from others if you noticed!”

Han Shan let out a cold laugh, “Let Song’er and the others return to the family, while you and the seventh junior come with me. Being Dharma Image Cultivators, you may be of some use at a critical moment!”

“Yes, Uncle!”

The young Dharma Image Cultivator promptly responded, quickly making arrangements among the group of people before joining another Dharma Image Cultivator at Han Shan’s side, brimming with excitement, awaiting Han Shan’s command.

To them, even though they couldn’t monopolize the Beiming Immortal Mansion or keep that Grotto Heaven within their family, which they regret, the opportunity of entering the Immortal Mansion and finding their own fortune after killing Qin Feng was still something good to look forward to.

Clearly, Han Shan needed them by his side with this intention; otherwise, why would he bother involving them in a matter fit for Primordial Spirit Cultivators?

Han Shan glanced at them and sent out several Long-Distance Sound Transmission Talismans with a wave of his hand.

He intended to summon a few Primordial Spirit Cultivators with whom he had the best relationship. Once they really killed Qin Feng, the Beiming Immortal Mansion would fall into their hands. They could then establish an alliance, swear oaths, and jointly protect the Beiming Immortal Mansion, allowing their several families to rely on this Grotto Heaven to grow and strengthen. There might be a day when they could rise.

…

Qin Feng was unaware of Han Shan’s actions. When leaving, he felt a bit of regret, thinking that if there was a chance in the future, he could make further acquaintance with Han Shan.

He sat cross-legged on the back of the Undying Qingluan, allowing this Divine Bird to travel southwards.

Although the Undying Qingluan cultivated the Fire Element Principle, as a naturally born flier with a now-awakened bloodline, this Divine Bird’s speed was incredibly fast. A flap of its wings covered thousands of feet, a stretch of its wings could carry it tens to hundreds of miles away. After a burst of rapid flight like this, they had already traveled tens of thousands of miles and were considered to have left the Beiming Sea Domain far behind.

It was at this point that Qin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that even if those cultivators had not given up pursuing him, they would probably still be searching for his trail in the Beiming Sea Domain. It was unlikely that many would think he had already left the Sea Area to reach this place.

Even if they knew he would leave the Beiming Sea and return to the mainland, the Northern Domain was vast, and no one would be able to guess his whereabouts.

After all, his flight was without a clear route, sometimes darting left and right; even he didn’t know where he was, let alone others.

His manner of flying indeed brought significant trouble to those following him. When Han Shan changed direction once more, the several Great Cultivators he had summoned could not help but complain, “Brother Han, are you sure you’re not mistaken about the way? Isn’t it possible that the young man used some magic to deliberately mislead us?”
