Chapter 160 Zhou Yixian Reunited in Dawang Village
Time flies by, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
After a period of recuperation and recovery, the injuries suffered by Ling Feng and the nine great demon beast overlords have been completely healed.
However, Ling Feng never expected that during this time, he would become famous outside.
But this illustrious reputation was also infamous.
The source of this situation was a shocking piece of news spread by Burning Incense Valley.
It is said that this great demon first dared to break into the forbidden area of Burning Incense Valley, and should have suffered a fatal disaster, but for some reason he managed to escape.
Afterwards, he fled to the mysterious and unpredictable Ten Thousand Mountains, where he colluded with nine powerful demon beast overlords.
In the end, they joined forces and broke through the elaborate defenses of the Incense Valley, attempting to bring an unprecedented catastrophe to the entire continent of China.
Although no one knew Ling Feng's real name, his portrait had already spread throughout the world through various channels.
Therefore, Ling Feng was unaware of his own "fame".
In reality, he has become a veritable "celebrity"—but only the kind of person who is despised and hunted down wherever he goes.
Ling Feng was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world. Even if he learned the truth one day, he probably wouldn't care about it.
After all, ever since he began cultivating the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, he knew that the future awaited him on a path full of thorns and hardships.
It should be noted that the original owner of this technique was the ruthless emperor, whose fame and power have shaken the ages!
Back when she created this unparalleled martial arts technique, she went through countless hardships and life-or-death trials.
The technique itself is extremely powerful, capable of drawing upon the power of all things in the world and using it for one's own purposes. How could such a heaven-defying supernatural power not make people both drool with envy and fear?
Therefore, those who could not obtain this skill naturally regarded Ling Feng as an evil heretic.
Therefore, Ling Feng had already made mental preparations when he first started practicing this technique.
Once his injuries had healed, Ling Feng naturally did not want to stay there any longer.
Immediately afterwards, he led his nine powerful and renowned demon beast overlords to search for any human settlements in the surrounding area.
After all, the most urgent task is to figure out exactly where we are right now.
Now that their injuries had fully healed, they were fearless and dared to soar openly into the air.
In this way, the speed of travel is greatly increased.
However, to Ling Feng's great dismay, despite having traversed almost every inch of the surrounding land, they still could not detect any signs of human habitation.
In fact, after Ling Feng carefully surveyed his surroundings, an inexplicable premonition arose deep within him—he seemed to know exactly where he was.
It should be noted that in the vast and mysterious world of Jade Dynasty, the only place that could possibly match his current situation is the terrifying Death Swamp.
However, what puzzled Ling Feng was that he had just escaped from the perilous Ten Thousand Mountains, but in the blink of an eye, he found himself trapped in this desolate and deathly swamp.
However, Ling Feng did not dwell on this confusion for too long.
Since things have come to this point, all worries and anxieties are futile. It's better to focus on finding a way to escape this place.
Once he knew exactly where he was, Ling Feng finally had a clue what to do next.
It turns out that in this world of Jade Dynasty, the Swamp of Death is located on the western border of the Divine Continent. Therefore, they only need to spread their wings and soar eastward, and one day they will surely be able to successfully step out of this gloomy and terrifying Swamp of Death.
Having found a good solution, Ling Feng naturally wouldn't hesitate any longer.
In the blink of an eye, he flashed forward, leading the nine mighty demon beast overlords who were renowned throughout the world, and sped eastward like an arrow released from a bow...
As for the numerous monsters in the Death Swamp and the miasma permeating it, they had absolutely no effect on Ling Feng and his companions.
Given their current strength, it's really hard to say who will pose a greater threat to the other!
And so, Ling Feng and his companions sped forward at breakneck speed, and after a full day, they finally caught sight of the edge of the Death Swamp.
Meanwhile, on the edge of the swamp, they unexpectedly spotted a village.
Having detected the presence of human habitation, Ling Feng made a decisive decision and flew straight towards the village without hesitation.
As they got a little closer, Ling Feng was shocked to find that the village looked extremely dilapidated, as if it had been weathered by countless years of vicissitudes; its population also seemed quite small.
Moreover, through occasional glimpses of the villagers' clothing, Ling Feng keenly observed that their style of dress bore some resemblance to that of the witch clan.
However, as is well known, the Wu tribe has always lived in the distant Ten Thousand Mountains, and those mysterious Ten Thousand Mountains are located in the south of the vast and boundless Divine Continent.
In contrast, the village before them was situated on the edge of the perilous Death Swamp, and it happened to be located on the western side of the Divine Continent.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any connection between these two things!
Ling Feng didn't dwell on it too much and decided to step into the village to find out what was going on.
When he arrived at the village, the villagers all looked at him with curiosity.
The reason is simple: this village is right next to the fearsome Death Swamp, and few people dare to set foot here. In addition, the village has suffered a serious outflow of population, resulting in its current desolate and decaying state.
Despite their curiosity, the villagers showed no fear of Ling Feng.
After all, although few people come here, disciples from various sects still occasionally come to the edge of the Death Swamp to hone their skills.
Therefore, when they caught a glimpse of Ling Feng, they naturally regarded him as yet another disciple of the sect who had come to gain experience.
Seeing this, Ling Feng simply went along with it and did not reveal his true identity.
Actually, Ling Feng was lucky. This place was basically isolated from the world, so his bad reputation didn't spread here. Otherwise, these people would probably avoid him like the plague.
Through conversations with the villagers, Ling Feng finally learned that the place was called "Da Wang Village".
Interestingly, Dawang Village was quite famous in the original novel.
Back then, when a peerless treasure was discovered in the Death Swamp, the news spread like wildfire, instantly reaching every corner of the Divine Continent.
In an instant, a storm was brewing, and heroes from all walks of life and renowned sects flocked to this place like a tidal wave.
At that moment, this once peaceful and tranquil land became bustling with activity and noise.
Because of its proximity to the Death Swamp, Dawang Village became a focal point of attention, leaving a significant mark on that turbulent era.
During his conversations with the villagers, Ling Feng learned that only a few dozen people remain in the entire village today.
Most of these villagers are also very old and have difficulty moving around;
The slightly younger villagers had already left their hometown and gone to the more vast and prosperous continent of China.
If things continue to develop this way, it won't be long before Dawang Village is forgotten by time and completely disappears into the long torrent of history.
These were merely thoughts that flashed through Ling Feng's mind. He didn't actually care too much about whether Dawang Village would perish.
After all, the rise and fall of this place has little direct connection to him.
However, to Ling Feng's surprise, he actually encountered the pair of freeloaders here—Zhou Yixian and his granddaughter Zhou Xiaohuan.
Although Ling Feng only had one brief encounter with them in Heyang City, that meeting left a deep impression on him.
Ling Feng had always felt that this grandfather and grandson were not as ordinary as they appeared.
Whether based on the descriptions in the original work or on his own intuition, Ling Feng could sense the mysterious aura emanating from them.
This sense of mystery, like a layer of fog, shrouds Zhou Yixian and Zhou Xiaohuan, making it difficult for people to grasp their true nature.
In fact, when the two met again, not only was Ling Feng surprised, but Zhou Yixian and his grandson were also greatly astonished.
It turned out that they had only recently arrived in Dawang Village and were already very familiar with the various stories about Ling Feng that were widely circulated outside.
Who could have predicted that Ling Feng, who was so infamous and widely known, would appear on the edge of this extremely dangerous Death Swamp?
Looking back, back when they first met, Zhou Yixian had already discerned a clue from Ling Feng's face using his unique physiognomy skills.
He probably never imagined that today's events would actually fulfill his premonition.
The trajectory of fate always seems to be full of endless variables, catching people off guard.
And when they met again, Zhou Yixian was surprised to find that Ling Feng's appearance had undergone a new change!
So, without hesitation, he used his unique face-reading skills to examine the face carefully.
However, what he saw was astonishing. The intense murderous aura emanating from that face was terrifying. Even Zhou Yixian, a man of great knowledge and experience, was deeply shocked.
Thinking back to when I first saw Ling Feng in Heyang City, although his face already showed a hint of ferocity, it was far less intense and imposing than it is now.
What kind of changes did Ling Feng encounter during this period?
This mystery deeply troubled Zhou Yixian, leaving him completely baffled.
At the same time, Zhou Yixian's gaze slowly shifted to the group of peculiar pets, each about the size of a puppy, beside Ling Feng.
These little guys are all unique and eye-catching.
With his years of experience and understanding of all things in the world, Zhou Yixian almost instantly recognized their true identities—just as the rumors said, these little beasts all came from the mysterious and unpredictable Ten Thousand Mountains, and each of them was a powerful demon beast overlord who was famous in one region!
Surprisingly, at this moment they willingly followed Ling Feng, shrinking their originally enormous bodies to such a miniature and adorable appearance.
Looking at their docile and obedient demeanor, where is there even a trace of the legendary collusion with Ling Feng? On the contrary, they seem more like loyal companions who have been completely conquered and tamed by Ling Feng.
Faced with this scene, Zhou Yixian was naturally curious, but he knew that it was best not to pry into some things, so he did not ask Ling Feng too much about what he had experienced.
It should be noted that his own strength is mediocre. If it weren't for his ability to avoid meddling in other people's business and his skill in reading people's expressions and knowing when to remain silent, he probably wouldn't have been able to survive so comfortably until now.
He refused to believe a single word of the information spread by Incense Valley.
The reason was simple: he was well aware of the dark and dirty dealings that existed within such prestigious sects.
Ling Feng felt the same way. Although he was full of questions about why the grandfather and grandson had come to this dangerous and deadly swamp, he would never rashly pry into their private affairs.
In fact, compared to their purpose in coming here, Ling Feng was more concerned about the background of this grandfather and grandson.
Thinking back to my past life when I read the original work, I could almost always catch a glimpse of this grandfather and grandson whenever a major event occurred.
Although they mostly play supporting roles and minor characters, their repeated appearances here are quite suspicious.
Even so, Ling Feng would never ask, since it was someone else's private matter, and given their current relationship, it was far from the point where they could delve into such secrets.
So Ling Feng put aside his distracting thoughts for the time being and chatted with the grandfather and grandson at the village entrance for quite a while.
During this time, through his conversations with Zhou Yixian, Ling Feng gradually learned about the various rumors and news circulating about him.
Ling Feng knew that he was still quite inexperienced in the ways of the martial world and lacked sufficient experience.
Therefore, he humbly sought advice from Zhou Yixian on many matters concerning the martial arts world, hoping to gain valuable wisdom from them.
When Ling Feng asked for his advice, Zhou Yixian was quite generous and magnanimous.
Perhaps because he thought these so-called "street experience" were not some secrets that needed to be kept hidden, or perhaps out of admiration for Ling Feng or for other reasons, Zhou Yixian told Ling Feng everything he knew without reservation, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
Ling Feng did not pay much attention to or take to heart the bad reputation that was widely circulated outside.
In fact, he had already been mentally prepared for this beforehand.
However, to his surprise, the actions of the Incense Valley were so swift and efficient that these rumors spread far and wide and became known to everyone in a short period of time.
However, compared to those infamous reputations, Ling Feng valued more the practical martial arts experience shared by Zhou Yixian.
After all, this is what he currently lacks most and urgently needs to make up for.
