Chapter 2104: Chapter 2371: Burning Blood Essence! (First Update)
“Are you really not going? Are you sure?” The Demon Lord looked at Ren Feifan, his eyes somewhat grave.
He was now only a soul and couldn’t leave this space for too long.
It was simply impossible for him to retrieve it himself.
Every time he stepped into reality, there were certain limitations.
Exceeding this limit, he was likely to dissipate into thin air.
At present, Ren Feifan was his only possibility of restoring his body.
However, he also understood Ren Feifan’s refusal, as anyone would feel the same.
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “Did you just say you’re looking for the ancient Vermilion Bird?”
Ren Feifan nodded, surprised, “Don’t tell me the Vermilion Bird is on the Pilgrimage Mountain, such a low-level lie I really don’t believe…”
The eyes of the Demon Lord filled with a trace of excitement: “I’m not sure, but the Pilgrimage Mountain has been the birthplace of the Vermilion Bird since ancient times. If the Vermilion Bird were to choose a place to guard, Pilgrimage Mountain is the most likely place!”
Ren Feifan found himself somewhat convinced and could only say, “I’ll consider going to Pilgrimage Mountain.”
He actually had a bit of belief in his heart because the Demon Lord’s character wasn’t one to deceive.
Although he refused before, if the Demon Lord truly needed it, he would spare no effort to help him find the Pilgrimage Spring.
This guy had helped him too much along the way, so he owed it to him.
“Kid, don’t consider; I didn’t deceive you, and you’ll naturally understand it if you go.” The Demon Lord said.
Ren Feifan nodded, took out the Jade Seal of the Demon Lord, and returned it to him.
After all, this thing had been sought out by the Demon Lord to find a body for him, and now that the body was found, it naturally had to be returned to the other party.
The Demon Lord glanced at the Jade Seal in his hand, then gave it back to Ren Feifan, saying:
“The Jade Seal of the Demon Lord is not of much use to me. If you help me obtain the Pilgrimage Spring, this item will be my gift to you! When your level increases, the Ninth Nether’s door will be under your control, and countless Demon Clan armies will be at your service!”
Upon hearing this, Ren Feifan was moved.
After all, the power this item unleashed that day at Cloudwater Sect was something he had witnessed.
Incredibly frightening!
Even Zhan Wudao could be defeated!
Though it depletes significantly, as long as he continued to progress in his realm, the effects would become apparent!
Even summoning the Demon Clan army by then would be simply terrifying!
Exchanging this treasure for a so-called Pilgrimage Spring!
It’s almost too good to be true.
“I agree with you,” said Ren Feifan.
The Demon Lord rejoiced, then directly transformed into strands of Demonic Qi and drilled into the second Stone Pillar of inheritance.
“In that case, I’ll be waiting here for your good news. If you’re in danger, I will naturally take action! But you still have to rely on yourself!”
Ren Feifan glanced at the Stone Coffin and returned to reality.
He pushed open the door, just as he was about to go out, only to find Dragon Girl tilting her head as she came in.
“Brother Feifan, finally found you.”
It seemed that Xu Shihan had already invited everyone up from the mountain.
“What are you looking for me for?” Ren Feifan smiled and said.
Having said that, Dragon Girl brought out what she had hidden behind her, and two popsicles appeared instantly.
“This is from Sister Shi Han to me. Look how good I am; I even brought you one.”
Ren Feifan didn’t expect that the Double Lotus Sect would have such things, but thinking about Xu Shihan coming from the secular world, and the North State being an icy region, it’s not surprising to have popsicles.
But the problem is that in such cold weather, is eating popsicles really okay?
Ren Feifan didn’t want to disappoint Dragon Girl, so he accepted the popsicle and started eating it with her.
“Brother Feifan, if one day I leave, will you miss me?”
As they walked ahead, Dragon Girl suddenly said.
Ren Feifan stopped in his tracks, looked down at Dragon Girl, and asked in surprise, “What do you mean by that, are you planning to run away from home?”
Dragon Girl smiled, “No, I’m just asking.”
“Brother Feifan, you haven’t answered me yet! If… I mean if, I also went far away like Sister Shi Han, would you come looking for me?”
Dragon Girl raised her head, her big eyes staring at Ren Feifan, waiting for an answer.
She was very expectant.
Ren Feifan reached out and rubbed Dragon Girl’s hair, “Of course, I’ll definitely find you and then spank you!”
Dragon Girl smiled with satisfaction, then thought of something and said quite seriously, “I’m already growing up; you can’t spank me, hmph!”
“Alright, alright…” Ren Feifan glanced at Dragon Girl and nodded helplessly.
The two quickly arrived at the Blue Lotus Hall.
Then they saw everyone was there, the elder and Xu Shihan were chatting about something rather excitedly.
After all, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time.
As soon as Ren Feifan appeared, the atmosphere became lively.
Afterward, Xu Shihan arranged a dinner banquet, and Ren Feifan and others experienced the grandeur of the Double Lotus Sect for the first time!
Top-grade herbs from the Hidden Gate as imperial cuisine!
Not only delicious but immensely nourishing!
For the first time, Ren Feifan felt that having his wife as the Blue Lotus Empress had its perks.
After the banquet, Ren Feifan originally wanted to stay a while longer, but the elder promptly patted Ren Feifan on the shoulder and instructed, “Come with me.”
Soon, the two arrived at a quiet place.
The elder’s face had a tinge of seriousness as he directly said, “I just observed Shi Han’s condition and performed a divination; if things continue like this, Shi Han’s lifespan won’t exceed a year, much worse than I imagined.”
“That is, in a year or even less, you must find a solution.”
Ren Feifan’s expression changed; previously, the elder had said it could be delayed for a long time.
Why has it changed to a year now?
The elder seemed to notice the confusion in Ren Feifan’s heart and explained, “Before, I had not seen Shi Han in person in the Double Lotus Sect and couldn’t stir her blood essence for divination. Just now, I performed a detailed divination, and now I understand.”
“Does Shi Han know about this?” Ren Feifan asked.
“She doesn’t know, but she probably understands the consequences in her heart. She is unwilling to tell us some things for her reasons, but nevertheless, we must find a way to stop it. She is my only granddaughter and your lawful wife.”
The elder’s voice trembled a bit, his emotions fluctuating.
“So, the reason you’ve brought me here now is…”
Ren Feifan realized the seriousness of the matter, but he was sure the elder must have a complete plan in mind.
The elder lifted his head, his eyes showing a hint of determination: “I want you to be my protector; I need to break through the heavenly secrets, open the Heavenly Path, and help you locate the exact whereabouts of the Vermilion Bird! I will burn twenty years of my lifespan! This is currently the only way.”
“Okay.”
Ren Feifan didn’t say much; he respected the elder’s choice.
Though the elder didn’t have much lifespan, it wasn’t short either.
Twenty years compared to Xu Shihan’s full youth was nothing.
This was the only thing the elder could do now.
