The Spirit World

Chapter 65 Si Juan
No one will travel thousands of miles to tell you that disaster is about to befall you, except the god of death.

In fact, it was not yet dawn, but the frost had fallen, and with the moonlight still there, the entire Bailing Mountain was already covered in silver.

"Brother, that mountain!" Erica looked at the billowing flames and Chang Yufeng, and was so surprised that even her breathing slowed down.

"Well, let's go and take a look!" Chang Yufeng sheathed his sword. He was obviously the one who used the most spiritual power and consumed the most, but he just stood there as if nothing had happened. The others also stood up slowly. They looked at the young man who had hidden his blue spiritual power and turned the scabbard around his waist. He looked at the raging flames, as if the flames were burning in his eyes.

"Brother Yufeng, look!" Lin'er pointed in the direction of the thousand-foot stairs. One by one, the people from Bailing Mountain were jumping on the stairs and the green pines on both sides. They were all on high alert. It was obvious that they were rushing to put out the fire. For the neighboring mountains, such a big fire could not be extinguished by ordinary fire brigades, and Bailing Mountain also had the obligation to help them. The leader of this fire brigade was one of the star-level [Spiritual Dao] brothers, Xia Wu. He looked ordinary, and was very capable in a short black suit. He passed by Chang Yufeng and jumped onto the peach tree where he was asking for directions and marriage. The peach blossoms moved slightly, and white frost was actually on the peach blossoms. It was a rare and unusual sight.

He turned his head and glanced at Chang Yufeng, who was looking into his eyes. His gaze was like that of a lone wolf, staring at Chang Yufeng viciously. Chang Yufeng responded to him with his eyes wide open. He had just gained such power, but he actually felt at ease with it. Facing this gaze that was almost like looking at a monster, he looked like a proud lion, shaking his golden mane.

"Well, can we really go that far? Won't there be any problems?" Xu Wenwen looked at the small team following Xia Wu. It was obvious that they had to be authorized to go down the mountain.

"Brother, this is not good. We have just finished practicing the Qilin Tank. We cannot go down the mountain without permission now." Erica wiped the sweat off her head, not noticing the dust on her face.
"With our current speed, it shouldn't be a problem to go there and come back quickly. We just want to get an overview of the situation. A fire of this magnitude must be very serious."

Normally, Chang Yufeng would avoid major events, but now he wanted to take the initiative to go there, which made Lin'er aware of something fishy. She picked up the sword, came to Chang Yufeng's side, and looked at him seriously: "Brother Yufeng, a fire of that magnitude, whether it is simple or not, is extremely dangerous. We should be more careful."

Chang Yufeng looked at her and smiled confidently at her: "Okay, let's go report that we have completed the training of the Qilin Tank first and then go there to help, how about that?"

It seems that Chang Yufeng is determined to go to Qingfeng Mountain to see that the wildfires there are even more violent. In Wenti County, everyone is still afraid of fires. Every year, the Fire God Festival is a major event in Wenti County. For Chang Yufeng, who was born and raised in Wenti County, it is impossible for him to stand idly by and watch the fire. He saw that purgatory with his own eyes, which shocked his soul. Now that he has this kind of power, it is impossible for him to stand idly by.

How could Lin'er not understand? Although Chang Yufeng had never told her, she still understood. Her only doubt was the price Chang Yufeng paid for his rapid growth in strength, but she had never understood Chang Yufeng's true thoughts. Erica also quickly saw what Chang Yufeng meant, but it was not very clear. What her brother wanted to do now was a mystery. Since the first day he came back from the clinic, it seemed that her brother had become more profound. It was this depth that forced her to work harder. Lin'er was still like that, as if she was always a bystander watching the world quietly. She never expressed her thoughts and was more mature than the two brothers and sisters. It was really hard to imagine that the three of them had come to this mountain with laughter all the way, and said they wanted to leave together with laughter all the way.

Is this the price of growing up? For a ten-year-old girl, it might be too heavy.

"Okay, since the young master has this intention, I am also a little worried about the situation there. Why don't we report first before going there!" Xu Wenwen's voice came from inside the mask. Her voice was very soft, but not coquettish.

When she said that, Chang Yufeng looked at her and nodded. The half-demon boy took his sword and left slowly. It was obvious that he had no reason to follow Chang Yufeng to put out the fire. Although they practiced together every day, they were not familiar with each other. He usually sat alone. Chang Yufeng did not mean to exclude him, but many times it is harder to put down your status suddenly than to ascend to heaven. And it was not Chang Yufeng's fault. Arrogance has always been what Chang Yufeng despised the most. Even though his current strength has obviously surpassed everyone here, he would never say the same thing to others as he did ten years ago. He hated people like that, including himself in the past.

"Okay, but we still need to be prepared. There are all kinds of people at the fire scene. We must walk together and cannot act alone." Lin'er looked at Chang Yufeng and took out four identical silk handkerchiefs from her pocket and tied them around their wrists one by one. This was her mark. In fact, as long as they didn't separate, it would be fine, but she was still a little worried.

The chief steward was sitting on the balcony of the Heaven Department. Because of that incident, he, who had come all these years, suddenly became timid again. Since the first day he entered Bailing Mountain, he had never thought about his future. At his age, he was still managing the affairs of Bailing Mountain. He should have stepped down long ago, but there was no one who could take over. In fact, it was only a matter of time before Chang Yufeng's bloodline awakened. The plan had been arranged long ago. He deliberately dropped it to the prime minister to see what he thought. Only then would he have confidence. The prime minister had been using the stargazing method to calculate and he had known it for a long time. In such a big matter, Qingshan would never tolerate himself making a mistake. So, let it be. He could only listen to Qingshan.

He looked at the fire in the distance, like an old turtle, without any fluctuation in his eyes. Chang Yufeng and his group slowly came over from the steps, and he waved his hand to indicate that he was here.

"Did you succeed?" he asked, rarely happy.

"Well, it worked!"

"How is it? Is the ball powerful enough?"

"It's very impressive, but we still succeeded." Chang Yufeng touched his nose, feeling a little proud. In front of the chief steward, he suddenly became a child again.

"Of course, you are the young master, so you will succeed." The chief steward put his hand on his shoulder and said earnestly: "Tomorrow, you will enter a special training session, and all the secrets of Bailing Mountain will be revealed to you, but before that, I want to ask you a question."

Chang Yufeng felt that the chief steward's eyes were very deep and a little hard to see through. His big hands had a strong heat that made his shoulders feel warm. "What's the matter? Grandpa Chief Steward?" Chang Yufeng looked at him and put his hands behind his back.

"Why do you want power?"

Chang Yufeng looked at him in surprise, his pupils dilated unconsciously.

Why do you want to gain power?

The question exactly the same as the one in the voice frightened him. The woman in black clothes with a plum blossom on the right forehead was looking at him on the steps. He was shattered and could only watch her walk towards him step by step.

In that instant, he felt that the whole world was surprisingly quiet. He looked at the three people who were waiting behind him. They nodded in response to him. On their wrists, they had the same silk scarves as his.

"Why do you want power?" The chief steward repeated his words again, but this time it was very soft and only Chang Yufeng could hear it.

"Because I need strength and I have people to protect, that's all." Chang Yufeng looked at the silk scarf on his wrist and looked at the steward with firm eyes.

"Although this is not the answer I want, it is better than nothing..." The butler's words made Chang Yufeng a little confused, and he didn't know what answer he originally thought Chang Yufeng would give.

"Have a good rest today. Tomorrow we will officially start our training at Bailing Mountain." The chief steward patted his shoulder. Chang Yufeng slowly walked out of the balcony and talked with the three people. Erica jumped up happily. Her sword fell to the ground and Lin'er helped pick it up. Chang Yufeng waved goodbye to the chief steward, who also waved. He looked at the four people with a kind smile on his face.

"The first key?" The boss looked at Lin'er who picked up the sword and said slowly. No one knew what he meant.

【Qingfeng City】

Xia Wu was jumping in the forest outside Qingfeng City. He was heading to the source of the Qingfeng Mountain fire with some disciples from Bailing Mountain.

They came to assist in extinguishing the fire. As a big mountain, Bailing Mountain naturally had the obligation to do so. Moreover, Bailing Mountain was a famous fairy mountain for benevolence and righteousness, so a forest fire like this would not be too difficult for them.

Their team of five was jumping in the forest. Given their speed, they would soon reach the source of the fire. The billowing smoke had already spread to the neighboring forest where he was, which was extremely dangerous.

But the closer he got to the fire, the more an indescribable aura echoed in his mind.

"Brother Xia! There is demonic energy nearby."

"Well, don't panic, protect the civilians first!"

"it is good!"

Xia Wu looked at the woods in front of him, feeling that there was a terrifying thing watching him. After a while, a long sword emitting flames came into his sight. There was no trace of a living person in the black robe.
