Chapter 2073: Chapter 2340: Rivers of Blood (First Update)
Ren Feifan withdrew the Ancient Dust Sword, wrapped it in a tattered cloth, and slung it over his back.
He looked indifferently at the corpses in front of him, without any expression.
The battle on Long Nu and Zhen She’s side had ended, leaving no survivors in the entire North Palace apart from them.
The North Palace was a river of blood, like hell itself.
Ren Feifan was not a murderous demon, but for his own interests, he would show no mercy.
Showing mercy to one’s enemies is being cruel to oneself.
Once his identity of cultivating demonic arts was exposed, it would spell trouble.
Of course, this matter couldn’t be completely airtight; it would certainly reach Sect Master Zhan Tianya of the Cloudwater Sect.
However, Ren Feifan had already thought of an excuse.
After handling everything, Ren Feifan walked towards Bai Muya, his eyes narrowing as he noticed the bruises on her neck and face.
“Is this the doing of that beast?”
“Brother Ren, thank you… that beast killed my mother, he killed many people, and wanted to offer me to…”
Bai Muya, after all, was just a girl. Thinking of this, her tears couldn’t be held back and she began to cry.
Ren Feifan sighed deeply, Bai Muya was indeed unfortunate.
To bear such suffering at this age.
How will she face the days to come?
The North Palace had perished, and this princess had reached her end.
If left to survive alone in the North State now, it was simply impossible.
The key was the downfall of the Poisonous Sect; the remaining members would undoubtedly pin all suspicions on Bai Muya.
At that time, Bai Muya might be killed before she even left the North State.
Ren Feifan gathered a flame in his hand and directly caressed Bai Muya’s wounds.
Bai Muya instantly felt a warmth flowing through her.
Her heart trembled, and glancing at Ren Feifan’s serious demeanor with her side-eye, her face flushed red, shy to the extreme.
“By the way, Bai Muya, do you have any relatives?” Ren Feifan released his hand and asked.
The bruises on Bai Muya’s body disappeared entirely.
Bai Muya touched her cheek with some surprise, nodding like a pecking chicken: “Brother Ren, I still have grandparents, but they are quite far from here.”
Ren Feifan squinted his eyes, pondering for a moment: “Here’s the plan. Your identity is too recognizable, so stay with me for these few days. When I leave the Cloudwater Sect, I’ll take you with me.”
Bai Muya was startled: “Brother Ren, are you leaving the Cloudwater Sect? Aren’t you an elder there? Why leave such a good position?”
“I’m not a native of the North State; I’m here as a transitional phase. When the time comes, I naturally need to leave. Besides, I have more important matters to attend to.”
Ren Feifan stated seriously.
At that moment, Sima Qian pointed to herself and asked, “Ren Feifan, what about me? Do I need to go to the Cloudwater Sect too?”
Ren Feifan could only take one person to the Cloudwater Sect; he still had to consult Zhan Tianya for approval, as the sect didn’t allow outsiders.
However, Bai Muya was a princess and lacked significant cultivation, so they would likely consider it.
Then, he turned to Sima Qian and said, “Few people know of your identity, so you aren’t in much danger. Just take some Spirit Stones and stay put in one place. Remember to arrange for the best Spirit Beast Horse Carriage, and I’ll meet you later.”
Sima Qian rolled her eyes at Ren Feifan, but what he said made sense. She nodded, “Got it.”
Afterward, Bai Muya led Ren Feifan and the others to the North Palace’s treasure vault. These belongings originally belonged to the North Palace, and now Bai Muya was the sole heir, making it her rightful possession.
“Brother Ren, these are the treasures the North Palace has been concealing for so many years. You can pick as you wish.”
Ren Feifan was about to politely decline when Long Nu raced in, picking items one by one and tossing them into her Storage Ring without hesitation.
Ren Feifan glanced around the surroundings, his gaze finally settling on a purple stone. He could feel the Little Sapling in the mysterious space slightly trembling, evidently wanting to absorb it.
Without hesitation, he moved directly to the purple stone and sat cross-legged.
In the next second, the purple Spirit Stone in front of him lost its vitality, turning into an ordinary stone.
All the Spiritual Energy in that stone surged into Ren Feifan’s body!
Endlessly.
Ren Feifan could clearly feel the mysterious space emitting a moan, evidently from the Little Sapling’s immense pleasure.
Soon, the Little Sapling gently shook, transferring a stream of Spiritual Energy into Ren Feifan’s Dantian, making him sense a hint of a breakthrough.
This could be considered a gift from the Little Sapling.
Soon, all the Spiritual Energy was fully absorbed, and the Little Sapling grew about ten centimeters taller.
Ren Feifan pondered if the Little Sapling were to grow into a towering tree, would it pierce through the entire mysterious space?
Ren Feifan opened his eyes and stood up, finding that everything around had been thoroughly looted.
“It’s about time; let’s go. Sima Qian, you be careful too.”
To be safe, Ren Feifan handed her a few Formation Runes, at least to save her life in critical moments.
Afterward, they parted ways with Sima Qian and went straight to the Cloudwater Sect.
Meanwhile, at the Cloudwater Sect.
The events in the North Palace had long been discovered and spread throughout the North State.
The North Palace had been eradicated.
The Poisonous Sect’s Sect Master and a hundred disciples and elders were all slaughtered!
These methods were enough to shake the North State to its core.
In the Cloudwater Hall.
An elder was reporting the latest news to Zhan Tianya.
Zhan Tianya frowned slightly, saying, “Do you mean to say that someone dared to attack the North Palace, and even the Poisonous Sect wasn’t spared? What kind of blood feud is this?”
The elder shook his head and then said, “If the Sect Master knew who was behind this, you might be even more surprised.”
Zhan Tianya was puzzled: “Who did it?”
The elder lifted his head and said mysteriously, “It’s just my guess, because there was someone who happened to be at the North Palace during that time.”
“Just tell me who it is! Don’t beat around the bush.” Zhan Tianya said, somewhat displeased.
The elder didn’t hesitate, directly stating, “Ren Feifan.”
Zhan Tianya was taken aback, his entire face turned horrified.
Ren Feifan had indeed enmities with the North Palace.
But to the point of wiping out the entire North Palace?
Moreover, he didn’t have such power!
He had heard of the Poisonous Sect, quite formidable, and certainly not a foe Ren Feifan could vanquish.
“Are you joking? Ren Feifan’s strength makes it impossible.” Zhan Tianya said.
The elder’s gaze remained incredibly serious: “I’m only speculating, after all, he happened to leave the Cloudwater Sect at that time and was seen at the North Palace. Crucially, there was indeed a blood feud between him and the North Palace. I’ve also heard that the North Palace planned to offer the princess to the Sect Master of the Poisonous Sect, intending to use the sect’s power to eliminate Ren Feifan.”
