After breaking off the engagement with Long Aotian

Shao Yin and Feng Yufei searched for Li Fengchun in the secret realm day and night.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Roar!!"

The roars of beasts and the chirping of birds mixed together, the earth shook, and the trees fell down piece by piece.

"Brother, look." Shao Yin was flying in the air with his sword, pointing downwards, and said happily, "It's this idiot again."

In the past two months, they have moved to several locations, but unexpectedly they saw a brown bear again.

I don't know how many fights it had. Its appearance has changed a lot now. A pair of fleshy wings have grown on its back, and they are asymmetrical, one large and one small. There seems to be something moving on the fleshy wings, and it hurts my eyes if I look at it for a long time.

The reason why it is recognizable is because it has a half brown and half white head, which distinguishes it from other creatures.

Feng Yufei didn't look, just walked quickly ahead.

He has no interest in these boring things.

However, after flying for a while, he suddenly stopped and said, "Wait."

"What's wrong?" Shao Yin stopped and asked.

Feng Yufei's figure was fixed in mid-air, with his face tilted to the side, as if he was feeling something. His brows gradually furrowed, and suddenly his eyes became fierce, and he turned back!

He was so fast that Shao Yin could hardly catch up with him: "Brother, what happened?"

Feng Yufei didn't answer, but turned back.

Shao Yin quickened her pace and caught up.

In just a dozen breaths, the two returned to where they had just passed.

In the depression of the collapsed mountain, there was still the brown bear, fighting with a falcon.

The brown bear had a sturdy body and strong limbs, and was rarely seen as an opponent on the ground. However, the falcon had black iron feathers all over its body, and its beak seemed to be made of metal, shining with cold light.

The claws were as sharp as hooks, and could leave several deep wounds on the brown bear's body with one claw.

The brown bear was defeated, his body was covered in blood, and strips of flesh were flying everywhere. Soon he fell to the ground and could not turn over again.

"Roar!!"

It waved its strong forelimbs, but it could do nothing to the black eagle. It was pinned to the ground and pecked fiercely by the black eagle. Soon a big bloody hole was pecked in its chest and abdomen.

I saw that in the bloody hole, the internal organs were broken and mixed together, but as the black eagle pecked, a bright color was faintly visible.

It shines with cloud-like light, without any blood or dirt, and is extremely beautiful.

"This is--" Shao Yin had seen the phoenix's true form and recognized it at a glance.

It's a phoenix tail feather!
Feng Yufei also recognized it of course. He sensed a familiar breath from afar and immediately returned.

"Senior Brother, have you ever been bitten by it?" Shao Yin looked at the phoenix tail feathers and said in surprise.

Didn't they say before that he was badly beaten by the tree man? How come there were also his tail feathers in the brown bear's stomach?
Feng Yufei's expression became fierce, and his right hand instantly turned into a claw. He cut open the giant eagle's chest and abdomen and swung it with his claws.

In an instant, the giant eagle let out a shrill cry, flew away, and shed blood along the way.

Feng Yufei waved out several paulownia branches, nailing the brown bear's limbs to the ground. Then he changed his claws into hands, leaned over and grabbed, and the phoenix tail feather immediately fell into his hand.

Very beautiful feathers.

Reflecting the firelight, it shines like a ruby.

He looked at the tail feather, and a terrifying anger gradually climbed up his handsome face. He looked at the brown bear with shock and pain, as if he wished to tear it into pieces!

"Senior Brother..." Shao Yin was stunned for a moment when she saw that his reaction was wrong, and then fell to the ground.

Looking at the tail feathers he was holding between his fingers, and then at the brown bear howling in chaos on the ground, he suddenly understood something.

I'm afraid this tail feather was given by him to Li Fengchun.

Now Li Fengchun is missing, his body is nowhere to be found, and the things on his body have appeared in the brown bear's stomach. He...

Maybe it was eaten by this brown bear.

"Brother!" She grabbed his wrist tightly, "Brother, calm down!"

Feng Yufei was filled with grief and anger, his whole body was on fire and he was shaking uncontrollably.

"I know you're sad." Shao Yin said sternly, "But this is not the place for you to be sad!"

This is a secret place, an ominous place.

Although he was a divine beast, the speed at which this ominous land eroded him was much slower than that of humans. However, with his emotions fluctuating greatly, he was easily exploited!
"Isn't that the place where I'm sad?" Feng Yufei's whole body burst into flames, and the surging spiritual power almost blew her away, "Where is the place where I'm sad?!"

Something happened to the head master, and he didn't even get to see him for the last time. All he knew was that he was locked up and imprisoned in a mountain, and no one was allowed to approach.

The uncle-master said that he had been possessed by a demon and was no longer the same person he used to be, and told Feng Yufei not to worry about him anymore.

Later, he begged desperately and was taken by the current leader to have a look from a distance.

The man had disheveled hair and red eyes. He was locked up tightly, and howled with his mouth wide open like a wild animal. His tall body looked familiar, but he had already gone mad.

The head master was the one who brought him out of the endless emptiness, gave him an identity, and raised him, but now he has been possessed by a demon.

The only monk he was familiar with was the one who grilled him, brought him wine, and told him interesting stories from his training. They agreed to go training together after they came out of the secret realm, but he also died.

So what if he is a phoenix? His tribe abandoned him, and his elders and friends also left him.

"boom--"

A ball of phoenix fire enveloped the brown bear on the ground, and the brown bear screamed even more miserably.

Shao Yin looked at the brown bear nailed to the ground. It opened its gaping mouth and howled in pain. It clearly wanted to roll over, but it couldn't move at all.

Of course she would not sympathize with a monster, especially one that had killed a fellow monster.

but……

"What are you doing?" Feng Yufei raised his hand and was about to add more fire, but was stopped by Shao Yin.

Shao Yin frowned and said, "I don't know. But I feel something is wrong."

She couldn't tell.

There was a glimmer of inspiration in the dark, but she couldn't grasp it. She just looked at the brown bear howling, feeling something indescribable.

"What's wrong!" Feng Yufei looked at the brown bear with hatred in his eyes, "I want to burn it to death!"

Shaking off Shao Yin, another ball of phoenix fire burned towards the brown bear.

The brown bear had just struggled to ward off the flames, barely managing to put out most of the flames, but was then enveloped by a new fire and began howling miserably again.

For a moment, the birds were startled and flew away, the evil plants fled, the beasts ran away, and the whole area was so quiet that it seemed as if there were only the three of them.

It took Feng Yufei a full hour to burn the brown bear to death.

It's not that the brown bear is hard to kill. It's just that Feng Yufei hated it for swallowing his friend, so he intentionally weakened the power of the flame and tortured it.

Finally, the brown bear was dying and stopped on the ground without moving. Its strong limbs fell heavily to the ground with a dull "bang" sound and splashed up fine smoke and dust.

"Hmph!" Feng Yufei was still feeling grief-stricken, and was about to start another fire to burn it to ashes.

But at this moment, the brown bear changed.

Its sturdy body began to shrink, its steel-needle-like hair slowly faded away, its furry face gradually deformed, and its thick limbs slowly became slender.

Although the process is slow, it can be vaguely seen that "it" is changing into human form!

Feng Yufei's expression froze.

"Ah!" Shao Yin finally remembered what that glimmer of light that she could not grasp was! This brown bear might not be a bear!

But a monk!
A monk transformed by the secret realm!

Just like the former Lord of Fengxi City, who was fed with divine blood and turned into a monster, running around howling.

"Do not--"

Feng Yufei shook his head repeatedly, his face pale. At this moment, he thought of something and wanted to move forward, but he couldn't help but step back.

The human-like shape of the "brown bear" became clearer and clearer, and the brown half of its head gradually turned into a handsome human face.

Covered with scars and blood, Feng Yufei only felt that his heart was hit hard!
"Quick, help!"

Shao Yin was already kneeling on the ground, with a pile of pill bottles beside her legs: "Feed these to him!"

The Lord of Fengxi City can turn into a monster, and the cultivators who train in the secret realm can of course also turn into monsters.

A phoenix tail feather was found in the monster's stomach, which made it clear who he was when he was alive.

Feng Yufei opened his mouth, took a small step forward, and could not move anymore.

What did he just do?
He used the Phoenix Fire to burn him for an hour...

The proud and unyielding Phoenix could not help but tremble all over, staggered, and finally knelt on the ground.

Shao Yin glanced at him, saw that he could not be relied upon, and did not force it, so she moved quickly.

Rejuvenating pills, soul-replenishing pills, recovery pills…all pills that could restore spiritual power and heal injuries were stuffed into Li Fengchun’s mouth recklessly.

At this point, Li Fengchun was doomed. But his body had been transformed by the secret realm and he could no longer use common sense.

After being burned by the Phoenix Fire for an hour, he exhaled more than he inhaled, but he was not completely dead. Shao Yin used a large amount of elixirs to keep him alive.

"Fellow Daoist? Fellow Daoist?" She tried to call him, "Li Fengchun? Senior Brother Li?"

As she used her spiritual power to probe into his body and dissolve the elixir, she called out his name, "Senior Brother Feng is here to see you."

"He's been looking for you for more than 20 years."

"Look at him, then close your eyes, okay?"

"Hold on, bear with it, grit your teeth, you can do it, open your eyes, Brother Li!"

"Open your eyes! Just one look! Look at us, look at Senior Brother Feng!"

"Say goodbye to us!"

Feng Yufei had recovered a bit by now, and flew over, holding Li Fengchun's shoulder with one hand: "Brother Li!"

His eyes were red and his voice was choked, but he still managed to speak sternly: "Wake up! Come back to life and I will make amends to you!"

After the two men's unremitting persistence, Li Fengchun, whose body was tattered and barely had a human form, actually got a little better.

The two looked at him in surprise, holding their breath and not blinking.

"Hu, ho..." Finally, Li Fengchun's eyes slowly opened a crack. He opened his mouth and tried to make a sound, but only strange syllables came out.

Shao Yin immediately said, "Don't worry. Take your time. It's the same if we talk about it later. We are waiting for you."

Feng Yufei held his shoulders tightly, staring at him closely with red eyes.

The muscles on Li Fengchun's face twitched for a while, and slowly the corner of his mouth curled up. He rolled his eyes, and his gaze passed from Shao Yin's face to Feng Yufei's face.

"Long time, no see." His pronunciation sounded a little strange.

Feng Yufei's lips trembled violently, and he pursed his lips hard, and said, "Long time no see."

Li Fengchun smiled, then moved his mouth and said, "It's great to see an old friend again."

Feng Yufei finally couldn't help it, tears rolled out of his eyes: "I'm sorry."

He has a proud temperament, but at his current age, he is just a teenager among the Phoenix tribe.

The boy made a playmate and was very happy, but it turned out that this playmate was dying, and he killed him with his own hands.

He came to find him, not to kill him. Heavy regret weighed on Feng Yufei's heart.

The hand that was clasping Li Fengchun's shoulder was withdrawn tremblingly, and he covered his eyes, tears dripping from between his fingers.

"I don't blame you." Li Fengchun said. Before he could say something else, a handful of pills were suddenly fed into his mouth.

He finally shifted his gaze and fell on Shao Yin's face, his eyes gentle: "Thank you, Junior Sister. I'm sorry for asking you to spend money."

Li Fengchun had never eaten so many elixirs in his life. Even if he spent all his family fortune, he couldn't even pay one tenth of them.

If he were still alive, he could gather more in this secret realm and give her some back after he got out. Thinking of this, his face suddenly changed.

He grabbed Shao Yin's wrist with one hand and Feng Yufei's clothes with the other, and said sternly: "Don't touch anything in the secret realm!"

"Don't touch the spiritual energy!"

After saying this, he withdrew his hand weakly and began to cough up blood.

Pieces of broken internal organs were coughed out, fell to the ground, rolled around, and turned into all kinds of small monsters, bouncing away.

Small plants gradually grew in the blood, small grasses of unknown characteristics, and small flowers bloomed.

Fear welled up on Li Fengchun's face, and he trembled as he said, "This, this is the result of being touched."

Hearing this, Feng Yufei suddenly raised his head: "You touched it? You actually touched it? Why did you touch it!"

According to the sect's rules, disciples are not allowed to use the items privately and can only hand them over to the sect.

Although it is not strictly managed, everyone knows that improper use will lead to bad consequences.

He has always been careful, but how did he get touched?

Li Fengchun looked at him, half crying, "I have no choice."

He was in a dangerous situation at that time and had run out of medicine, so he picked some spiritual fruits to replenish his spiritual power.

After Feng Yufei heard his explanation, the momentum of his questioning suddenly stagnated and gradually disappeared.

His lips moved, but no sound came out. Accusations and complaints were so powerless at this moment.

Li Fengchun looked up into the sky, and through the bloody haze, there was a red sun that was always fixed above his head: "This is my life."

Hearing this, Shao Yin's eyebrows jumped.

She couldn't help but touch the storage bag. Jin Xian often said this. Whenever he encountered danger, he would say, "This is my life."

"If I hadn't touched you, I would have died a long time ago and wouldn't have been able to see you at all."

"I shouldn't have entered the secret realm."

"I shouldn't have come in."

"But if I don't come in, where is my chance?"

Feng Yufei could not answer a single word of his words, and gradually lowered his head. He put the phoenix tail feather in his hand back into Li Fengchun's hand.

Li Fengchun held the phoenix tail feather and smiled: "Fortunately, I didn't lose it."

After he became a monster, he forgot many things and lost all the things on his body, whether useful or not.

But this feather, perhaps by luck, was not lost.
