Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Dangerous things should not be underestimated!"

However, in response to Lu Feng's explanation, Di Huxing retreated even further, and at the same time, a wisp of starlight burst forth from his body. Then, the starlight transformed into a small golden hand, which waved repeatedly at the former.

Clearly, Earth Tiger Star hadn't listened to Lu Feng's explanation and remained very uneasy.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

Seeing the strange behavior of Earth Tiger Star, Lu Feng also became curious. He immediately activated the Soul Devouring Technique again, and then transformed into four soul beast incarnations: Green Snake, White Tiger, Black Pig, and Black Tortoise.

"Hey, Earth Tiger Star, you're supposed to be the 104th ranked extraterrestrial star on the Heavenly Star Ranking, so why are you so afraid of these demonic beast avatars formed from soul power? Are you alright?"

As Lu Feng slowly approached Earth Tiger Star, controlling his soul beast avatar, he teased the creature as if he were an adult playing with a child.

"!!!"

Seeing the surrounding soul beast avatars gradually approaching, Earth Tiger Star was even more frightened. Immediately, the starlight on his body transformed into two pairs of hands, which he frantically waved while pointing at Lu Feng's neck, seemingly terrified.

"what?"

Lu Feng was also stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something and couldn't help but look down at the half of the cyan jade pendant he was wearing around his neck.

The surface of the cyan jade pendant was incredibly smooth, with a faint hint of coolness emanating from it. On the back was engraved a lifelike scroll depicting a mythical beast. At the bottom of the scroll, four tiny beast shadows of different shapes appeared, which were none other than the relics that Lin Yunyuan had left for Lu Feng.

"Strange, could it be that Earth Tiger Star is afraid of this...?"

As he slowly took down the keepsake his mother had left him, Lu Feng's face showed even greater confusion.

Because this half of the cyan jade pendant is not a magical artifact or spiritual treasure, and there is no spiritual energy fluctuation on it. It is just a piece of jewelry left to him by his mother. It is quite strange that Di Huxing is so afraid now!

"A human boy, a spirit beast incarnation, a cyan jade pendant, a dangerous object..."

Just as Lu Feng was filled with doubt, Di Hu Xing, who had already hidden a hundred meters away, produced another small starlight hand. He pointed at the soul beast avatar next to him and then at the cyan jade pendant in the former's hand, clearly implying something.

"A soul beast avatar, a cyan jade pendant..."

Seeing this, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, then suddenly realized, "So that's it! This guy isn't afraid of the relics left by his mother, but rather the four strange beast shadows carved on them?"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng couldn't help but clench the half of the cyan jade pendant in his hand, while scanning it with his eyes.

Since Lin Yunyuan passed away when he was eight years old, he has become an orphan. The half of the blue jade pendant left by Lin Yunyuan has been worn by Lu Feng ever since, and he never takes it off even when he sleeps at night.

As the saying goes, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night.

Perhaps it was the influence of the relics left behind by Lin Yunyuan, but Lu Feng has been having the same strange dream frequently over the years.

In his dreams, he often dreamed that he was being chased by a strange black shadow, and every time he was about to encounter misfortune, four strange monsters of different appearances would appear and protect him from harm.

The strange beasts that protected Lu Feng in the dream were exactly the same as the four strange beast shadows engraved on the relics left by Lin Yunyuan, namely the green snake, white tiger, black pig, and black tortoise!

As for the four soul beast avatars that Lu Feng created by using the Soul Devouring Technique, their prototypes naturally came from this.

"Ancient, why is the Earth Tiger Star so afraid of the strange beast image engraved on the jade pendant?"

"Could it be that the relics left by my mother are not so simple?"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng couldn't help but ask Gu Canyang inside the treasure basin, as if his gossipy soul had been rekindled.

After all, even the founder of the Sunset Academy couldn't do anything to Earth Tiger Star, and there are very few things that can make an extraterrestrial star like Earth Tiger Star feel afraid!

"Young Master Lu, do you perhaps mistake me for a god from heaven? I am but a mere remnant soul; how could I possibly be omniscient and omnipotent...?"

Faced with Lu Feng's curiosity, Gu Canyang merely smiled mockingly, then said unhurriedly, "However, although I don't know the origin of the strange beast image engraved on this jade pendant, nor why Earth Tiger Star is so afraid, I can still give you a hint..."

"It's illogical that a mere mortal peasant woman with no cultivation would possess a jade pendant crafted from Immortal-Nourishing Stone, and it's highly likely that it was made by someone else..."

Gu Canyang's tone remained calm, yet it was pointed.

"At the hands of someone else... Oh, right, Lu Tianxuan!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng suddenly realized what was happening, and his brows furrowed. "If that's the case, then everything makes sense...!"

Because only half of the jade pendant left by his mother, Lin Yunyuan, is still in existence, and the remaining half is most likely in the hands of his father, Lu Tianxuan.

Lu Feng's only way to find out the secrets behind all this and the mystery of his origins is to find his biological father, Lu Tianxuan, whom he has never met!

However, when Yan Wu left, he did not mention the whereabouts of his father, Lu Tianxuan, nor did he know whether the latter was alive or dead. Therefore, it is not an easy task for Lu Feng to find him now!

...

Meanwhile, in the Cangmang Mountains, at the Falling Star Academy

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill all these lackeys of the righteous path...!"

"By order of Protector Illusion, all disciples of Falling Star Sect must be killed without exception!"

The once vibrant and prosperous Falling Star Academy is now engulfed in war. Chaos and slaughter are everywhere on the mountain peaks, with disciples dying from time to time. The sounds of battle are deafening, and corpses are strewn all over the place, making it a living hell!

"Damn those fiends of the Wusheng Sect! They secretly spread the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Bone Incense and launched a sneak attack amidst the chaos!"

"Don't be afraid, everyone! As long as we hold on, and Vice Dean Xia and the elders arrive to provide support, none of these Wusheng Sect heretics will escape...!"

"That's right! Even if we die today, we absolutely cannot let these demonic cultists' plot succeed...!"

Faced with the siege of a large number of Wusheng cultists, the Falling Star disciples guarding the various mountain peaks were also filled with hatred and anger. Almost none of them laid down their weapons and surrendered, as if they wanted to live and die with the entire Falling Star Academy.

After all, once the Order of Annihilation is issued, it is destined to be a fight to the death. Even if they intend to surrender now, given the nature of the remnants of the Wusheng Sect, they will not be let off easily!

Therefore, for the Fallen Star disciples guarding the various mountain peaks, it is better to fight to the death than to defect and surrender, as there may still be a glimmer of hope!
