The Great Road of Shading the Sky

Chapter 238 Shackles! The Two Children Depart
Before the cataclysmic changes, Qingyang Town was only about two hundred miles away from Shuntian City. Now, the distance has increased tenfold, requiring a journey of more than two thousand miles to reach it.

This is Chu Feng; he has enough strength to fearlessly roam the wilderness as long as he doesn't encounter any king-level creatures.

Now, he can run more than 200 meters per second, which is close to the speed of sound. He is incredibly fast, but such extreme speed cannot be sustained.

Of course, not being able to last long is not due to kidney deficiency, but simply because of excessive consumption and overburdened body!

Chu Feng set off carrying the Great Thunder Bow and three special bone arrows.

The bone arrow was made from the remaining finger bone of the Black Divine Ape. It was specially made by Shao Hua to protect him, and it has the power to kill a King-level creature.

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."

Along the way, Chu Feng saw and heard many empty towns, abandoned villages, and strange beasts appearing from time to time, a scene that weighed heavily on his heart.

Not only humans, but all living things are evolving. Those strange beasts have developed intelligence that is no less than that of humans. This era is terrible for ordinary people, and even for some ordinary superhumans.

On the way, Chu Feng spoke with his parents, telling them that he would see them in a day or two. However, during the call, he could clearly sense that his parents were not in a good mood and were not paying attention.

After careful questioning, it turned out that they had been threatened that day and almost came to blows. Fortunately, someone else appeared and drove those people away.

"As expected, someone is still persistent and wants to cause me trouble. Luckily, I had someone look after them in advance. How dare they attack my parents?" Chu Feng was shocked and furious, and a murderous aura emanated from his body.

His enemies are none other than Xu Wanqing, and perhaps her sister and the Mu family as well, with the Lin family also being potential suspects.

Other forces might also be involved, but the efficiency wouldn't be this fast.

"Although it was my sister Guang who truly killed those people with swift and decisive methods in the battle of White Snake Ridge, who dares to lay a hand on her now?"

"As for me, it can't be said that I suffered an undeserved disaster. If a real investigation were to take place, those with ulterior motives would probably discover the connection between me and her. If they have any suspicions, they would most likely take ruthless action." Chu Feng pondered carefully, his heart filled with anger.

As for what innocent people will be implicated?
Those people don't care at all!
Better to kill three thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free—this is very much in line with the operating style of chaebols.

However, at most, those people would only take away Chu Feng's parents; they wouldn't dare to do anything really. Before they figured out his relationship with Shao Hua, they wouldn't go too far.

After all, there are still three important figures being held captive in the Taihang Mountains, so it's impossible to ignore Lin Nuoyi and the others.

In fact, this was indeed done by the Mu family. Some people believe that the armored man standing next to the mysterious woman in White Snake Ridge was Chu Feng.

Although it was just a guess, it didn't stop them from testing the waters.

Unexpectedly, Chu Feng's parents had the Lin family protecting them. They didn't know that this was Lin Nuoyi's personal behavior and thought that the Lin family had discovered it earlier and taken her hostage in advance for any eventuality.

Everyone knows that Lin Nuoyi is still in the Taihang Mountains, so it's not surprising that the Lin family did this; on the contrary, it's to be expected.

"This is really troublesome. Shuntian is good, but it is still a place of trouble. Perhaps my idea of ​​sending my parents back to their hometown is right. At the foot of Taihang Mountain, who would dare to cause trouble?" Chu Feng muttered to himself as he traveled.

He didn't want to cause trouble and hoped for peace and tranquility, but there were always people who wanted to make things difficult for him and went too far, forcing him to take action and fight back.

This time, he was determined not to hide anymore. If anyone else caused trouble for his parents, he would kill them both. He would use swift and decisive measures to deter those with ill intentions. At worst, he could just hide in the Taihang Mountains afterward.

That night, as the campfire flickered and Chu Feng was roasting a pheasant, someone suddenly attacked.

He fought him and killed him without hesitation!
Before he evolved using pollen, he might have been somewhat weak, but now he can confidently call himself the strongest below the King level, with few rivals.

"Shuntian, I'm back."

In the Taihang Mountains, Shaohua spent her days happily, strolling through the forests like a spring outing, accompanied by beautiful women.

After waking up, the big black bull that came from the west was extremely honest and spoke in human language, explaining its background clearly.

“From Kunlun Mountain.” Shao Hua’s heart stirred. For some reason, she felt something for Kunlun, as if that place was very important to her.
"The fighting in Kunlun is terrifying. I left there to avoid the storm for now, and I also wanted to find opportunities outside before going back to fight my way back," the big black ox said, shrinking his neck.

It's clear that this is a shrewd ox, knowing when to advance and when to retreat. Instead of fighting to the death in the Kunlun Mountains, it traveled eastward all the way to the Taihang Mountains.

“Kunlun is a legendary sacred mountain, the ancestor of all mountains. It’s conceivable that there must be extraordinary sacred plants there,” Lin Nuoyi said.

“I’ll go take a look when I have time. Oh, and Mount Tai, the place where the Fengshan ceremony was held, I have to go there too,” Shaohua said.

Among the many famous mountains in the world, these two are the most mythical and have left behind too many legends. After learning about them over this period of time, she is most interested in these two famous mountains.

Whether it's Kunlun or Mount Tai, she'll have to go see them sooner or later; maybe she can find clues about her origins.

The scalper followed behind with his head down, seemingly deep in thought, before finally snapping out of it after a long while.

"Moo~" It quickly walked a few steps to Shao Hua's side and gently rubbed its horns against the hem of Shao Hua's clothes.

"What's wrong, Little Yellow?" Shaohua reached out and stroked the ox's head.

"Moo!" The yellow ox signaled its desire to leave and go out to hone its skills. The white snake, the king of the Taihang Mountains, had already been subdued by Shaohua. Safety wasn't a good thing for an ambitious ox like it; it needed to be tempered and to fight for opportunities.

At this time, venturing deep into the desolate mountains is not a good choice. There are extremely powerful creatures there, but they cannot cross over for the time being. If you were to rush in, you would surely die.

It had originally wanted to see what the seed would grow into, but in the short time it took to doze off, the mysterious seed grew and blossomed.

All the benefits went to that foolish human, who didn't even see what the flower looked like, leaving the cow utterly devastated.

Therefore, going out is an inevitable choice.

"I understand." Shao Hua nodded slightly, indicating her understanding and support, and then turned her gaze to the big black yak.

"Don't kill me! My flesh is tough and doesn't taste good!" the big black ox cried out instinctively.

"Moo!" The yellow ox was very dissatisfied. Didn't you see there was another ox present? Your meat is always bad. Do you think the meat of a young ox is better?

"Don't worry, I won't eat you. I just want you to take Xiao Huang to Kunlun," Shao Hua said.

The big black ox hesitated; if possible, it didn't really want to go back right now.

I've traveled all this way, but haven't improved my strength much. Won't I get beaten up when I get back?
But if we don't agree, we'll probably be beaten up right now, and in serious cases, we might not even be able to leave the Taihang Mountains.

“Going directly to Kunlun is too dangerous. We can go to the Flaming Mountains first.” After thinking for a long time, Big Black Ox finally managed to come up with this sentence.

"Moo!" The yellow ox indicated that there was no problem. With an old ox of the Shackled Realm traveling with it, its sense of security was greatly enhanced.

The first stage of cultivation is awakening, and the second stage is shackles, which is what is now called a king-level creature.

Awakening, this realm is as its name suggests. Just like those extraordinary people now, they are all initial awakeners, who have awakened some mysterious factor that has been dormant in their bodies and unlocked special abilities.

Shackles are the bonds that bind us from birth. Only by breaking free from these shackles can we attain true freedom, which is the third realm we will reach later.

Each time an invisible shackle within the body is broken, a corresponding ability is unlocked, almost like a supernatural power, greatly unleashing one's potential.

Shao Hua also has some shackles within her body, which inexplicably appeared when Lin Nuoyi's previous life, that pollen woman, possessed her body. She was completely unaware of them before.

However, the shackles she wore were completely different from those worn by Chu Feng, Huang Niu, and the others.
"Kunlun is about to be turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. They are all old things that have survived since ancient times. Actually, I don't really want to go back and get involved. If you come with me, you can only act according to the situation and you must not do anything stupid or reckless!" Big Black Ox warned.

The ox nodded, his expression serious, indicating that he understood.

"Goodbye." Shao Hua personally saw him off, all the way to the Taihang Mountains.

She patted the ox's head one last time, feeling that it would be a bit unreasonable not to give it a gift when parting, so she plucked a handful of willow saplings from among the ox's hair.

Is there any other tree in the world more wondrous than this willow?

She felt that even those so-called sacred roots and divine trees were far inferior and there was no comparison at all.

Three tender, emerald-green willow buds landed in my hand, shimmering with a verdant glow, emanating a rich life force that made the surrounding air feel different. Taking a breath, I felt refreshed and invigorated.

The big black ox was extremely tempted, but dared not move an inch, afraid of angering that human powerhouse and having his skull shattered by a single slap.

The ox stared longingly at Shaohua's palm. It knew the willow tree was extraordinary, but it never expected that even the tender buds would be like a sacred medicine.

Shaohua gave the big black ox a tender sprout as a reward for taking good care of the yellow ox.

Its strength is still too low now, and it would be difficult for it to gain a foothold in Kunlun.

The ox was given two tender shoots. It immediately chewed one quickly and swallowed it. At that moment, its whole body burst forth with green light, which was very dazzling.

It also swallowed the other one and hid it in its belly, just in case.

"Enhancing one's innate essence is better than simply increasing one's strength." Shao Hua saw clearly and understood the function of the willow buds.

Well, she didn't actually know if the willow buds were edible; she mainly relied on her intuition. Fortunately, the little willow tree didn't disappoint her.

"Moo~~~"

The yellow ox was reluctant to leave. Although it had an extraordinary origin, it was only four or five years old. It had embarked on this journey home alone when it was very young, determined to become a saint and ancestor here.

These are rare, comfortable days; there are people who care about me, and people who joke around with me.

But the peaceful life is destined to be short-lived. The world is starting to fall into chaos, and powerful forces will be coming from across the stars. No one knows what will happen in the future. All we can do is fight and struggle to create a brilliant future!
