1816 In Chunfeng Town (3)
Yun Feng raised the corners of her mouth gently. “I know everything… But my heart still hurts…”
Qu Lanyi held her even tighter. “It’s only right to feel pain. After all, they’re people we care about at the bottom of our hearts. Their pa.s.sing will definitely affect the softest part of our hearts. Our feelings are still there, but they’re already gone. It’s a disappointment.”
Yun Feng was silent. She leaned into Qu Lanyi’s arms quietly. His heartbeat could make her feel at ease.
“However, the people who died are gone after all. Their last hope is that we can live better. Your ancestor also hoped so.”
Yun Feng nodded. Qu Lanyi chuckled. “One day, we’ll leave this world too. By then, someone will also be sad for us and might even cry. However, we have no choice but to follow this rule.”
Yun Feng looked up and met Qu Lanyi’s gaze. Qu Lanyi lowered his handsome face and their foreheads touched, breathing. Qu Lanyi put Yun Feng’s hand on his chest. “I’ll stay with you no matter what until the moment of death.”
Tears welled up in Yun Feng’s eyes. She nodded and hugged Qu Lanyi’s body fiercely. A spot in her heart was suddenly empty. She felt extremely uncomfortable. Luckily, he was here for her.
Yun Lan’s soul disappeared from the ancestral hall. The three elders of the Yun family also expressed their regret. From then on, there was another tablet in the ancestral hall. Yun Lan’s name was engraved on it. Yun Lan had been glorious since he was born.
Mo Yuanbu found Yun Feng. Seeing that she had already calmed down, he couldn’t help but admire this girl’s endurance. Her pain was so obvious, but she could suppress it completely in such a short period of time. This kid must have endured a lot.
“Senior Mo, are you going to discuss with me about saving Second Brother?”
Mo Yuanbu nodded. He originally wanted to say something, but he swallowed it in the end after thinking about it. “We must succeed in rescuing that kid’s soul this time. If we fail, it’ll be very difficult for us to have a second chance.”
Yun Feng nodded solemnly. “I’ll listen to you, Senior.”
Mo Yuanbu said, “There’s more than one stronghold of the Blood Souls. The locations of their strongholds are all very secretive and most of them are in areas that humans can’t reach.”
“That’s right. I’ve already come into contact with the two strongholds of the Blood Souls. One is in the Endless Ocean, and the other is deep in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.”
Mo Yuanbu was a bit shocked that Yun Feng had also come into contact with the Blood Souls head-on and even entered the strongholds herself! This girl was truly bold!
“Since you know something about their strongholds, I don’t have to say too much. Let’s return to the previous topic. Even though these strongholds are all outside of the human world, the stronghold where Yun Qi’s soul is stored is in the human world!”
“In the human world!” Yun Feng was shocked! Mo Yuanbu nodded solemnly. “I found this clue back then and it was unbelievable. The Blood Souls have such meticulous thoughts and means. It would be a lot inappropriate if they set up a stronghold in the human world, but the truth is right in front of us.”
“Where is it?” Yun Feng was surprised. Qu Lanyi also frowned hard. He had never thought that a stronghold of the Blood Souls would be set up in the human world! What exactly were they thinking?
“You might not be able to believe the location of the stronghold at all.” Mo Yuanbu stared at Yun Feng with his black eyes. Yun Feng’s breath tightened! As the saying went, the most dangerous place was the safest place! “Chunfeng Town!”
“What?” Qu Lanyi was surprised. Chunfeng Town! The stronghold of the Blood Souls was in Chunfeng Town. How was that possible?
Mo Yuanbu said in a low voice, “Chunfeng Town. It is indeed here.”
Qu Lanyi’s black eyes darkened. So, after going around in circles, it was the place that was most reachable!
“We’re back to square one… Blood Souls, you’re truly something!” Yun Feng roared as a stream of mental strength shot out of her palm and the stone table under her hand shattered! Yun Qi’s remnant soul, which she had been thinking about getting back, was in Chunfeng Town!
“It’s indeed impossible to guess what the Blood Souls are thinking,” said Qu Lanyi in a low voice. “The Blood Souls’ stronghold is in Chunfeng Town. The Yun family hasn’t discovered it after so many years. They’re quite good at hiding.”
Indeed, with the Yun family’s power in Chunfeng Town, they didn’t find anything unusual. The stronghold of the Blood Souls had survived under the watch of the Yun family for so many years. Yun Qi’s remnant soul had been trapped in Chunfeng Town for so long!
“Chunfeng Town is indeed an unexpected place. I guess it was too surprising that Yun Qi’s soul was divided at that time. The Blood Souls didn’t know how to deal with it, so they could only seal it. I’ve been investigating for so long, but this stronghold in Chunfeng Town hasn’t done anything. They didn’t do anything until the Yun family left Chunfeng Town. That’s when I had the clues to investigate.”
Yun Feng frowned. They were so patient. They didn’t start taking action until the Yun family left Chunfeng Town and the East Continent completely. If it weren’t for Senior Mo, she probably wouldn’t have been able to find her Second Brother’s remnant soul for the rest of her life!
Thinking that her Second Brother’s remnant soul had been in Chunfeng Town for so long and she didn’t notice it, Yun Feng suddenly hated herself. If she weren’t useless, she wouldn’t have missed it at such a close distance!
“It’s not your fault. You didn’t have the ability to know everything in the past,” said Qu Lanyi solemnly. “You did the best you could!”
Mo Yuanbu sighed softly. “Kid, if you want to blame someone, blame me. If I didn’t leave with the remnant soul back then but continued investigating, that child might be complete right now.”
“No, Senior Mo isn’t wrong. If it weren’t for Senior Mo, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have known what kind of fate Second Brother would have right now!” The reason why the Blood Souls kept Yun Qi’s remnant soul in Chunfeng Town and didn’t do anything was that they obviously didn’t know how to use this remnant soul! If it was a complete soul, it was very likely that Yun Qi had already changed!
Mo Yuanbu sighed and continued, “The stronghold of the Blood Souls in Chunfeng Town was set up extremely cleverly. On the surface, this stronghold is just an inconspicuous small family in Chunfeng Town. They usually keep a low profile and the people who enter and leave this small family are all ordinary people.”
“Ordinary people are the ones who won’t be noticed,” said Qu Lanyi in a low voice. Mo Yuanbu nodded. “Indeed. If they didn’t have any clues, I wouldn’t have thought that there were people of the Blood Souls in Chunfeng Town. Yun Feng, do you have a friend who has the ability to touch souls?”
“Touch the soul?” Yun Feng was puzzled. Mo Yuanbu took a deep breath. “That’s right. Among the people guarding the stronghold of the Blood Souls in Chunfeng Town, one of them is a powerhouse of the senior management personnel of the Blood Souls. His ability is very special. Normal energy can’t hurt him at all. He’ll absorb all of them into his body before they reach him!”
“So tricky!” Qu Lanyi was surprised. Yun Feng frowned slightly. She indeed knew Gong Tianqing, who had the Dead Fire!
