Chapter 885: Cloud Lake Dragon Fish

At this moment, Yi Feng had already leisurely returned to the Nine Realms.

As for leaving without saying goodbye, Yi Feng was simply avoiding trouble.

What if that girl woke up and wanted to thank him for saving her life by offering herself in marriage?

Although he wouldn’t mind, he was, after all, a man destined to die soon...

Meanwhile.

Piaomiao Hong stood atop a mountain peak, gazing into the distance.

"Miss, there's no need to be so troubled. We will definitely catch the Dragon Fish," Luo Chen, her guard, approached and comforted her softly.

"Hah."

At the mention of this, Piaomiao Hong let out a bitter laugh.

Catching the Dragon Fish was no easy task.

"Miss, don't lose heart. Even if we can't catch it ourselves, there are so many people watching Cloud Lake. Someone will surely catch it. Even if we have to bankrupt Sword Valley to exchange for that Dragon Fish, we won't let anything happen to you," Luo Chen said.

"The time has already passed."

Piaomiao Hong said expressionlessly.

"What time has passed?"

Luo Chen didn’t understand.

"The time for the curse has reached its final stage. What I mean is, even if we had the Dragon Fish now, it wouldn’t break the curse. The matter is already settled. There’s no need to waste any more effort on this," Piaomiao Hong said without any fluctuation in her tone, as if she had long accepted this outcome.

"No, it can’t be, it’s impossible. How could the time have passed..."

Luo Chen shook his head desperately, his eyes reddening.

"But since there’s nothing else to do, let’s go to Cloud Lake and try our luck."

"Although it won’t help me, if we can gain some opportunities, it would still be good for Sword Valley."

Piaomiao Hong said softly.

Yi Feng’s appearance had led to the dissolution of the Hongmen, completely disrupting her plans.

So now, without a plan, she could only take things one step at a time.

Speaking of Yi Feng, he had gone to the only known Level 6 Forbidden Zone of the human race. Even with his immense strength, it was likely a life-or-death situation.

Although she knew that his quest for death wouldn’t actually result in his demise, she also understood that they probably wouldn’t meet again in this lifetime.

Given the strength he had displayed, there was a slim chance he might achieve sainthood in the future. Though the odds were small, miracles could happen.

If that day ever came, she hoped Yi Feng would remember their friendship and look after Sword Valley for her.

Just then.

A jade slip flickered.

She took it out and saw that it was a message from Yi Feng.

"Hey hey, Miss Hong, it’s me."

Piaomiao Hong was stunned.

Yi Feng had actually returned from the Level 6 Forbidden Zone?

Luo Chen, standing beside her, was also dumbfounded.

Previously, Yi Feng had abducted Piaomiao Hong right in front of him, so he later learned from Piaomiao Hong about what had happened between her and Yi Feng.

He widened his eyes and asked, "Miss, this guy went to a Level 6 Forbidden Zone and didn’t die?"

As the two were still in shock, Yi Feng’s grumbling voice came through again.

"That place you mentioned did have a lot of demons, but they were all weaklings! I didn’t even get a scratch, let alone die. It was a complete waste of time!"

Hearing this.

Piaomiao Hong’s delicate face twitched slightly.

Luo Chen, standing beside her, trembled as he pointed at the jade slip and exclaimed, "Mi-Miss, did you hear that? Is this even human speech?"

After a long while, Piaomiao Hong took a deep breath.

She accepted the fact that Yi Feng was still alive.

She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, realizing she had underestimated Yi Feng.

"Where are you now?"

Piaomiao Hong asked.

"Just tell me your location, and I’ll come to you," Yi Feng’s voice came through the jade slip.

"Alright!"

After responding, Piaomiao Hong shared her location.

Not long after.

A giant snail descended from the sky and landed beside the two.

"Miss Hong."

Yi Feng cupped his hands in greeting.

"Mr. Yi."

Piaomiao Hong returned the gesture.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yi Feng noticed Luo Chen standing nearby.

Seeing Yi Feng again, Luo Chen was filled with fear and immediately hid behind Piaomiao Hong. He hadn’t forgotten how he had once slashed at Yi Feng with all his strength, only for Yi Feng to remain unharmed while he nearly died.

"Miss Hong, that place couldn’t kill me."

Yi Feng didn’t hold it against her.

After all, he knew Piaomiao Hong hadn’t lied to him. It was just that the demons in that cursed place were too weak.

"Speaking of which, the people there were quite hospitable!"

Yi Feng remarked.

"People there?"

Piaomiao Hong frowned, assuming Yi Feng was joking, so she didn’t press further.

"If Mr. Yi could return unscathed from there, then at least within the Nine Realms, there’s probably nothing that can threaten your life. Perhaps only in the Heavenly Domain could we find a way," Piaomiao Hong said. "However, it will take some time."

"The Heavenly Domain?"

Yi Feng’s eyes lit up slightly.

He had naturally heard of the Heavenly Domain.

It was said that many of the later forces in the Nine Realms had originated from there. Yi Feng was quite curious about the place.

But hearing that nothing in the Nine Realms could threaten his life surprised him.

Was he really that strong now?

Sigh.

It was all his own fault.

Back then, in a fit of rage, he had slaughtered too many demons and accidentally leveled up too much.

What’s worse, this time he had wiped out an entire city, gaining a ton of experience. He hadn’t even bothered to check how much.

It seemed he needed to restrain himself in the future!

With this level of strength, Yi Feng should have been content to live as a local tyrant in the Nine Realms, indulging in food and drink, and perhaps finding a few female cultivators to spend time with. Wouldn’t that be a blissful life...

But the system had mentioned that in about ninety years, there would be a world-ending calamity.

Sigh...

And there was also that unfinished task of taking on a final disciple. The system hadn’t said anything more about it, so he wasn’t sure if he still needed to complete it.

How careless.

"Well, if it takes time, then so be it. I can wait a while," Yi Feng nodded. After all, he still had over ninety years. There was no rush. If he restrained himself from killing demons and avoided leveling up too much, he might still manage to die.

"Thank you for understanding, Mr. Yi. Shall we part ways for now, and I’ll notify you when it’s time to go to the Heavenly Domain?" Piaomiao Hong asked.

"What about you? What are your plans?"

Yi Feng asked.

"A sage has appeared, and the world is undergoing great changes. Many dangerous and opportune places have emerged, and Cloud Lake is one of the great opportunities."

"Cloud Lake has the Dragon Fish, as well as many other rare fish, all of which are invaluable treasures. However, Cloud Lake is now widely known, and countless people are flocking there."

"Even so, I still want to go and try my luck."

Piaomiao Hong said, then raised an eyebrow and looked at Yi Feng with a hint of expectation. "Would Mr. Yi like to join me?"

"Oh, fishing?"

"I love it. Of course, I’ll go with you."

Yi Feng smiled with anticipation. "Besides, I did promise Miss Hong that if you helped me find a way to die, I’d do my best to help you with any troubles that might arise. Even though no trouble has appeared yet, what if we run into some?"

"So you still remember that promise."

Piaomiao Hong covered her mouth and laughed, feeling somewhat grateful. "Then I must thank you for keeping my words in mind, Mr. Yi."

After a brief exchange, the group set off toward Cloud Lake.
