Chapter 1315: Right And Wrong, Black And White

Yi Feng flew through the sea of clouds and the glow of the setting sun, returning in the blink of an eye to the outer islands. The once tranquil islands were no longer peaceful. The cultivators seemed to have been startled by the commotion from the Demon Prison. In just a few breaths, several streaks of light flew past.

Yi Feng paid no attention to these idle people. Even if he wanted to gather information about the malicious aunt, these individuals would be of no use. With a casual glance, he flew straight toward his cave dwelling.

As he landed in front of the courtyard gate, Yi Feng instinctively took out his cave token, ready to open the door. But when he looked up, he noticed the gate was already wide open, as if someone else had taken up residence.

Well, well...

It hadn’t been long, and they already had the keys to the place.

Squatting in someone else’s nest, and doing it so efficiently!

Standing dumbfounded at the gate, Yi Feng’s expression was complex. The phrase “the world is cold and indifferent” couldn’t be more accurate.

Before he could take a closer look, a strange aroma of wine wafted out from the courtyard. Following that, the slurred laughter and drunken banter of a man and woman reached his ears.

“No, no, don’t…”

“Hmph, you little vixen, you were so proud back then. Why are you so obedient today?”

“Young Master An, I was blind back then. How could you bring up the past…”

“Blind? I think you were blind to more than just your eyes. A mere mortal cultivator, how could he compare to me? Now that he’s dead in the Demon Prison, there’s probably not even a bone left! With no one around today, let me thoroughly study what else you’ve been hiding!”

“Ah, you’re so annoying…”

“Hahaha…”

The unrestrained laughter was unbearably arrogant. Yi Feng frowned slightly. It seemed that besides the malicious aunt, others knew about his trip to the Demon Prison. This matter had clearly been premeditated, and the couple inside were undoubtedly accomplices!

Just as he was pondering how to gather information, the scoundrels had delivered themselves to his doorstep!

Yi Feng slowly stepped into the courtyard and spoke in a deep voice.

“Whoever’s inside, get out here now!”

His roar was like thunder, and the laughter inside abruptly ceased.

Moments later, An Shixuan, his face flushed with anger, rushed out from the side chamber, his clothes disheveled and veins bulging on his forehead.

“You bastard…”

His furious outburst was cut short as his voice trailed off. An Shixuan’s eyes widened, and he pointed a trembling finger at Yi Feng as if he had seen a ghost.

“It’s you!”

In that instant, An Shixuan’s imposing demeanor froze. As he scrutinized Yi Feng, who appeared completely unharmed, the anger on his face faded, replaced by a look of shock and disbelief.

“You actually escaped from the Demon Prison?!”

“Impossible! That’s absolutely impossible!”

“Did Yu Wenqianyue deceive me? Did she not take you to the Demon Prison? You must have some skills to have even moved Yu Wenqianyue!”

“I bet you paid a hefty price, didn’t you?!”

His words were a confession without being pressed. Yi Feng was now almost certain that this guy had conspired with the malicious aunt to frame him and send him to the Demon Prison. If he had really died, their efforts wouldn’t have been in vain.

But now, with nothing having happened, Yi Feng grew angrier the more he thought about it.

This damned pretty boy was utterly useless. He couldn’t even manage to kill someone properly, and now he was here spouting nonsense!

Yi Feng didn’t bother wasting any more time on him. He lifted his leg and kicked out!

“Bang!”

“Crack!”

A dull thud was followed by a crisp sound, sharper than the crack of a firecracker.

An Shixuan didn’t even have time to react before he was sent flying into the courtyard. His pale leg bone protruded through the skin, and he lay on the ground, clutching his leg and howling in pain.

“Ahhh!!!”

“My leg!”

“You! How dare you ambush me again!”

Yi Feng frowned in annoyance and tossed the pretty boy out of the courtyard.

“Ambush?”

“You’re not even worth it!”

Damn it!

Where did this young master get his confidence? He didn’t even have the sense to learn from his mistakes. Even a donkey knows to avoid thorns after being pricked once!

This guy was both weak and full of nonsense!

Only after throwing An Shixuan out did Yi Feng feel some peace and quiet.

But as soon as he turned around, a strange woman with a flushed face nervously bowed to him.

“Yi… Yi Gongzi…”

“Please let me explain. It’s not what you think. An Shixuan and I definitely didn’t…”

Before she could finish, Yi Feng waved his hand impatiently.

“Get out!”

He didn’t even know who she was and had no time to listen to her rambling. Her tearful, endless chatter was utterly annoying.

Hearing his icy tone, Lu Miaoke’s body stiffened. Despite the myriad of thoughts in her mind, she didn’t dare act presumptuously in front of such a terrifying genius. With a look of regret and sorrow, she bit her red lip, bowed her head, and tremblingly retreated from the courtyard.

Finally, the courtyard was quiet again, and Yi Feng’s ears were at peace.

He leisurely sat down in the courtyard. Even if he didn’t want to stay in the courtyard, the mountains, forests, and rivers of the island were a good alternative, enough for him to settle temporarily.

At this moment, Yi Feng had no more concerns. In fact, he almost wished for trouble to come knocking!

As he watched the busy streaks of light crossing the sky, his eyes were filled with calm and indifference, as if he were watching the clouds drift by, utterly uninterested.

The entire Snow Wind Island seemed to be in a state of busy preparation, as if something major was about to happen. Yet Yi Feng remained completely unfazed, sitting calmly as the winds of change swirled around him.

Suddenly, several streaks of light stopped above and then descended directly, revealing a few figures at the gate.

Yi Feng looked up in confusion.

He saw Xu Qingyuan’s eyes widen in surprise, and the mortal cultivators behind him were equally shocked.

“Yi… Yi Shixiong!”

“It’s really Yi Shixiong!”

“Brother Yi is indeed alive! The news was true!”

“Heaven has truly blessed us!”

The group was overjoyed, some even shedding tears as they stepped into the courtyard and bowed respectfully.

Reuniting with old friends, their sincerity touched Yi Feng, and he returned the gesture with gratitude.

“Everyone, please take a seat.”

Xu Qingyuan stepped closer and examined Yi Feng for a few moments, his eyes filled with increasing delight.

“Brother Yi is truly unharmed! We can rest easy now! Brother, your fortune is truly profound to have escaped the Demon Prison. You are destined for greatness in the future!”

Hearing their excited words, Yi Feng’s expression turned puzzled.

“How did you know I escaped the Demon Prison?”

Xu Qingyuan smiled and replied with a look of admiration.

“Brother Yi, when you escaped the Demon Prison, countless powerful figures on the island witnessed it. The news has already spread throughout the outer sect!”

But as he spoke, Xu Qingyuan’s expression suddenly stiffened.

“However…”

“We also received a message from the elders. It’s said that Elder Guo is still alive and has also broken out of the Demon Prison, appearing alongside you. Is that true?”

Hearing his fanboy’s starstruck tone, Yi Feng couldn’t help but smile.

“It’s true. I left the Demon Prison with Elder Guo.”

This Brother Xu was Guo Jiannan’s number one fan. Now that he knew his idol had reappeared in the world, he must be overjoyed. It would be a wonderful thing if the two could meet in the future.

Thinking this, Yi Feng looked at Xu Qingyuan with a smile, expecting an excited reaction.

However, Xu Qingyuan’s expression turned grim, completely different from what Yi Feng had anticipated. It was as if he had encountered some unsolvable problem.

After a moment of stunned silence, Xu Qingyuan nodded solemnly.

“The elders informed us that Elder Guo is a traitor to humanity, colluding with demons to wreak havoc. They are currently gathering the island’s elite to hunt him down!”

“I can’t believe it. The invincible Sword Sovereign who founded Snow Wind Island… how could he be a traitor?”

“The legendary figure I’ve admired for so many years… how could he be like this…”

His voice grew softer, filled with disappointment. The others beside him also wore grave expressions, as if their beliefs had been completely shattered. They seemed deeply shaken, unable to recover.

Only then did Yi Feng understand.

So, Guo Jiannan had become the target of everyone’s hatred?

No wonder Xu Qingyuan had reacted this way upon hearing of his idol’s return. As the saying goes, “when three people say there’s a tiger, you believe it.” Even if it’s just rumors and slander, once enough people spread it, it gains credibility.

From the looks of it, Guo Jiannan had indeed gone to seek revenge. Alone and without any backing, he would be no match for Snow Wind Island. If he sent a message asking for help, Yi Feng would definitely go to his aid…

Yi Feng didn’t try to defend his friend. Instead, he smiled and offered a few words of comfort.

“Brother Xu, right and wrong, black and white—it’s all up to people to judge.”

“If you trust me, don’t dwell on this matter. Keep an eye on the island’s movements, and if you hear anything, let me know immediately!”

His calm words carried an air of mystery.

Xu Qingyuan and the others looked up in awe, gazing at Yi Feng, who sat as steady as a mountain. They suddenly felt a sense of distance, as if he were far beyond their reach. When they remembered that Yi Feng had left the Demon Prison alongside Elder Guo, their respect for him grew even deeper.

The group exchanged glances and nodded firmly.

“Alright!”

“We’re all mortal cultivators. We’ll trust Brother Yi’s words, and we’ll also believe in the invincible Sword Sovereign!”

With that, they clasped their fists and left in a hurry.

The courtyard was now empty except for Yi Feng. He gazed calmly at the streaks of light filling the sky, his face unusually serene. But in his heart, he was already planning his next moves, as if the countless lights above were mere chess pieces, and he was the one holding the pieces.

At this moment, with no one else around, Yi Feng’s mind was clearer than ever.

From the moment he stepped out of the Demon Prison, he had realized that Snow Wind Island was nothing special. His strength had already surpassed the understanding of ordinary people.

Even the countless stars in the sky seemed within his grasp…
