Volume 2: Heavenly Sword Burial Chapter 80: Purple Sun Palace

  Jiang Feng, who felt he had been deceived by the unreliable Blood Blade, walked back to his original position with a map in hand, looking somewhat dejected. He had initially thought he could go treasure hunting, but now his mood was somewhat low.

  After a while, Jiang Feng finally put away the map. Thinking that it was just for fun, whether or not there were any treasures didn't matter. At the same time, he also thought about following the map to take a look. The tomb of the Bandit King was probably gone, but finding a place to retreat and cultivate wasn't bad either.

  Thinking of this, Jiang Feng stood up and judged the direction before flying away with his flight device. Flying high in the air, Jiang Feng looked at the ground below and recalled the location marked on the Blood Knife map. Afterwards, Jiang Feng flew towards the northeast direction.

  This place was originally a deep mountain and old forest, with a low concentration of spiritual energy. Jiang Feng had stayed in the mountains for ten whole days before and hadn't seen any cultivators. He hadn't even seen a single monster. But now, he had only flown a short distance and hadn't even left the mountain range where he was previously at, yet he saw several cultivators in mid-air.

  Those monks were all riding flying artifacts, and their cultivation had not yet reached the Golden Dan period. They flew for a while, then stopped to look at something, as if they were comparing maps. Looking at those people, Jiang Feng couldn't help but think of the map that Xue Dao had bought back.

  "Surely no one really believes that the Tomb of the Thief King will appear nearby during a full moon on Red Moon, right?" Jiang Feng muttered to himself as he continued flying forward.

  The farther he flew, the more cultivators Jiang Feng saw. Moreover, there were also many powerful auras that appeared. Those must be Golden Core stage or higher cultivators. Jiang Feng even saw groups of cultivators traveling together, seemingly disciples of some large sect on an excursion.

  From the direction of flight of the cultivators they encountered, they and Jiang Feng were on the same route. After continuing to fly for a while, Jiang Feng also confirmed that those people were flying towards the location on the map bought by Xue Dao. Moreover, at this time, it was no longer just a few dozen cultivators, but hundreds and thousands of cultivators.

  "This map can't be real, the Tomb of the Bandit King can't actually be in the location indicated on the map. If it's not, why did those high-ranking cultivators come running here? Did they all go crazy?" Jiang Feng thought to himself.

  Lan Wu didn't say a word. It would be difficult to make Lan Wu believe that the map, which had just been made not long ago, was really the treasure map of the King of Thieves' tomb. However, with so many monks nearby, it also made Lan Wu unclear what they were doing here.

  No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out whether the tomb of the thief king was true or not. Jiang Feng also sped up at this time. He thought that if he could get to the place indicated on the map as soon as possible, he might know the result. Moreover, there were only a few days left until the full moon of Hongyue.

  The map brought by the Blood Knife indicates a location on the border of Yi State. If Jiang Feng flies there at full speed, one day's time is enough. When Jiang Feng approaches the place indicated on the map, it was already deep in the night. It was also at this time that he felt that the Tomb of the Bandit King might really appear nearby. Even if the Tomb of the Bandit King does not appear, something big will definitely happen here.

  This is a place similar to the Gobi Desert. There are almost no grass or trees here, all of which are bare hills and gullies. Here, Jiang Feng saw many fires and many Taoist priests. These Taoist priests were far more numerous than those seen on the road. This place was originally a place where people rarely set foot, but now it has become a gathering place for Taoist priests.

  There are several places where the lights are particularly bright, and there are also houses there. Such a place, at first glance, it is clear that it is the residence of some major sects. It may even be one of the nine great heavenly gates.

  "This momentum, if the tomb of the bandit king really appears, it's not my turn to pick up the treasure." Jiang Feng said to himself while finding a place to land.

  The mountains and fields were all crowded with people, and the lights in those places where there were more people were particularly bright. At a glance, you could tell that it was a place where some sect had set up camp. Jiang Feng naturally wouldn't dare to get close to such places. As for the location indicated on the map, Jiang Feng couldn't even think about it, because it had already been completely sealed off and he was unable to approach. All Jiang Feng could do was find a place to wait like the other scattered cultivators.

  It was not easy to find a secluded place with fewer people, and it was also downwind. Jiang Feng had just sat down on the ground, and the ignited fire had not yet burned brightly, when he saw five flashes of light appear in the sky. The five flashes of light came from the east and rushed straight towards Jiang Feng. As they approached, the five flashes of light turned into five human figures, landing in front of Jiang Feng.

  "This place is occupied by Ziyang Palace, please leave quickly, miscellaneous people." One of the five men who fell down said.

  Jiang Feng looked around, wanting to find the idle people mentioned by the speaker. However, within a hundred meters of this place, except for the five people who had just fallen, there was only Jiang Feng alone. It was obvious that these idle people were referring to Jiang Feng himself.

  "Ziyang Palace? Isn't that the Ziyang Palace of Liehuo Ridge? That's one of the major sects outside of the Nine Great Heavens, with a reputation that's loud and clear. Someone like me can't afford to provoke them." Jiang Feng muttered to himself as he stood there.

  The five cultivators standing in front of Jiang Feng saw that he was muttering to himself and hadn't left. The five cultivators immediately became somewhat displeased. The cultivator who had spoken earlier loudly repeated what he had just said.

  Jiang Feng looked at the five cultivators, his expression seemingly puzzled. He stared for several seconds before saying, "Don't you know about coming first and leaving last? I clearly occupied this place first, so shouldn't it be you who leaves?"

  "Whoever came first doesn't matter, this place has already been taken by Zi Yang Palace, so you have to leave." A young female cultivator among the five said.

  "What if I don't leave?" Jiang Feng asked.

  "If you don't leave, it means you're an enemy of the Ziyang Palace. When dealing with enemies, the Ziyang Palace has never been lenient. I advise you to be sensible and leave early." The cultivator of the Ziyang Palace said.

  Jiang Feng furrowed his brow, then suddenly smiled. He said to the cultivators of Ziyang Palace: "Ziyang Palace is also a major sect, right? How can you not even surpass the Nine Great Heaven Gates and be driven to the periphery? And yet you come to bully us scattered cultivators? Isn't this clearly bullying the weak and fearing the strong? I think Ziyang Palace doesn't have much skill left either. You'd best retreat early on, lest you hinder your own future prospects."

  As soon as the words came out, all five cultivators showed anger on their faces. Moreover, Jiang Feng's voice was a bit loud, and some scattered cultivators who were closer to Jiang Feng also heard it. At this time, many scattered cultivators were looking over at Jiang Feng.

  "What a big nerve, daring to openly provoke the dignity of Zi Yang Palace. I think you don't want to live anymore." The cultivator of Zi Yang Palace said furiously to Jiang Feng.

  Jiang Feng didn't say a word, but just stared at the monks of Zi Yang Palace. The expression on his face seemed to be saying, "You're looking for trouble, what can you do to me?"

  The monks of the Purple Sun Palace grew angrier as they looked at Jiang Feng's expression. The five monks finally couldn't hold back and made a move against Jiang Feng. In the eyes of the Purple Sun Palace monks, they were all foundation-building initial stage cultivators, and so was Jiang Feng. Five against one, there was no reason they shouldn't be able to beat him. But as soon as they made their move, reality proved them wrong.

  Five Purple Sun Palace cultivators, as soon as someone made a move, Jiang Feng also moved. Jiang Feng's speed of attack was far faster than the five Purple Sun Palace cultivators. Before those five cultivators could even use their techniques and magical instruments, Jiang Feng's attack had already arrived.

  A black, palm full of thick evil spirit slapped the five cultivators of the Purple Sun Palace and sent them flying. The five cultivators let out a miserable cry as they disappeared into the night sky. Jiang Feng also lowered his head at this time, carefully examining the ground beneath his feet. He was pondering what made this place different and why the Purple Sun Palace's cultivators wanted to occupy it. Was it really that the Purple Sun Palace's cultivators couldn't make a living anywhere else?

  Just as he was thinking about it, several flames appeared in the sky again. These flames quickly gathered around Jiang Feng, surrounding him. In each of these flames, a figure emerged. When Jiang Feng raised his head, he knew they were also cultivators from the Purple Sun Palace. At the same time, Jiang Feng was certain that there was a mystery beneath his feet.
