Chapter 819: Overestimated?
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
Russell moved unceasingly towards Blue Demon's base.
He didn't know that the others had fooled him. He did think that the star map was in Shi Yan's hands. As he was afraid that Feng Ke would return earlier, he hadn't spent his efforts to kill Shi Yan's group of three.
The star map was much more important than Shi Yan's team in his eyes.
However, while he was moving underground under the Blue Demon's base, he knew it was going to be bad. He got an instant rage.
Feng Ke was there!
He could feel the massive life magnetic field of Feng Ke on the big rock above his head.
"Russell, why are you here?" Feng Ke's deep voice was sent to him from above his head. A flow of energy that could tear the Earth shot directly to the ground.
Russell knew that he couldn't hide his whereabouts anymore. He hesitated for a while then laughed, emerging from the ground.
Feng Ke, Feng Rao, and Feng Xiao were sitting in a spacious hall together with dozens of experts of the Blue Demon. Most of them were at the Second Sky or Third Sky of King God Realm. The power of this force was formidable, indeed.
Feng Ke had traveled at his fastest speed to meet his daughter. Before he could have time to talk with his daughter, he found the special moving life magnetic field of Russell. He immediately reacted, using his force to make the man come out from the ground.
Feng Ke's thin face darkened. He snorted, "What do you want? Why are you moving stealthily like that?"
"I heard that my niece is back. I hurried here to say congratulations. Feng-ge, you don't welcome me?" Russell put on a calm face, smiling until his eyes squinted. "I met my niece in that abandoned mineral star. I wanted to take her home safely. But a boy had captured her. He used the power of the Empty Fantasy Crystal to run away. I couldn't help her, so I felt really annoyed. Now I know she's back safely. I wanted to pay a visit to see her."
Russell's lies weren't much greater than his singing. This man was really thick-skinned.
Both Feng Ke and Feng Rao knew that none of his words were true. They looked at him with cold looks.
"It's good that my niece is alright. I just wanted to check on her. Yeah, now I can ease my mind." Since Russell recognized that no one welcomed him, he said something and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute," Feng Ke shouted.
"What?" Russell was surprised, "Feng-ge, you want me to join your family's lunch? Haha, as you and your daughter have just reunited, you should have many things to say to each other, I assume. It is not convenient that I stay."
"If you're here, we can talk," Feng Ke squinted, frowning. "I've invited all the big leaders to talk about the star map. My daughter is back. We can discuss this. Hmm, your power isn't bad. You're one of the strongest forces that we have. Of course, we can just keep you out of this."
"Haha, Feng-ge. You're valiant and generous if you want to share the star map. Alright! I'm in!" Russell agreed. He came here for the star map. Of course, he wouldn't let this chance slip away.
"Any matter behind the star map is very important. My force can't handle it alone," Feng Ke snorted. "Russell, your Bloody Chief Skull isn't bad, but don't foolishly dream about keeping the star map for yourself. I got the precise news saying that strongest warriors of the three big forces are heading to the Land of God Punishment. They will come to our area shortly. The Nine Star Chamber of Commerce will appear here, too. The Fan family will send someone, probably. Since we have common enemies, I hope you can see the general picture and not plan any conspiracy."
Pausing for a while, Feng Ke continued slowly, "For example, going to Ka Fu's to rob the star map. I don't want to see that again..."
Russell discolored. He snorted but didn't say anything else. He jumped into the ground, leaving no message. He disappeared shortly.
"Father, how did you know he went to Ka Fu's?" Feng Rao was surprised. She couldn't help but ask.
"On my way to the Heaven Punishment City, I felt Russell moving. But you've mentioned that that boy was going to find Ka Fu. Of course, I knew what he wanted," smiled Feng Ke.
"Would something unexpected happen to Shi Yan? No, I have to go there and check!" Feng Rao screamed hastily.
Feng Ke and Feng Xiao were slightly shaken. They looked at her with odd faces.
When Feng Rao left that year, she didn't have a good reputation in the Land of God Punishment. However, they knew Feng Rao was almost an uncontrollably wild girl. It has been so many years and they had seen her teasing countless young men of the Land of God Punishment, but they had never seen her caring about any man.
Today, as she thought about Shi Yan possibly being in danger, she paid close attention and care for him. Something was strange here, indeed.
"You guys... why are you looking at me like that?" Feng Rao was startled a little bit, blushing unnaturally, stopping.
Feng Ke saw her eyes. He contemplated for a while then said, "Don't worry. That kid should be alright. Otherwise, Russell wouldn't have hurried here. If he got the star map, he would have immediately left the Land of God Punishment."
Caring disturbs a sound mind. Feng Rao was reminded of this. She bit her red lips and smiled. "He fooled Russell. Haha."
"Little sister, tell me what kind of relationship is between you and that kid." Feng Xiao was surprised for a while. Eventually, he couldn't press down his curiosity. "I can see that you care about him. What happened? Who is he? Is he an insider sent by the Dark Firmament Divine Nation?"
"No relationship. We have just overcome many hardships together. We are close friends. Also, that man isn't ordinary at all. His potential is infinite. As he cultivates, he will eventually become one of the strongest warriors of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation!" said Feng Rao solemnly.
"I haven't seen you highly appreciate a person like that. Is he really as excellent as you say?" asked Feng Ke with a serious visage.
"I reckon," Feng Rao's face was also serious. "Although he has only the Second Sky of King God Realm cultivation base now, I believe that if he risks his life and fights me, I will not win. I will be the loser who will die. He will survive and live or sure."
Hearing her, Feng Ke and Feng Xiao were shaken with fear.
In the Land of God Punishment, Feng Rao was famous for her tough and tenacious competence with bizarre power Upanishad. Normally, warriors at the same realm weren't her rivals. And they were talking about Shi Yan, a warrior at a level lower than her.
"Little sister, do you overestimate him because you like him?" Feng Xiao shook his head and burst out in laughter. "How can he do it? He defeated you with his lower realm? Funny, really funny."
"You shouldn't mistake it due to your personal feelings. Tell us honestly, how is his competence?" Feng Ke frowned as he didn't believe her. He was always proud of his daughter. He didn't think that a warrior with a lower realm could trounce Feng Rao.
Both the father and the son were skeptical and thought that Feng Rao had overestimated Shi Yan because she liked him. This irritated Feng Rao, making her both embarrassed and angry. She said begrudgingly. "You will see later."
"Alright, I want to check him out," Feng Ke nodded.
"How about the other three? Do they need treatment? Father, that old Jester isn't a nice man to talk to. The price to cure three people with the Soul Sucking Demonic flower won't be small." Feng Xiao reminded them. He seemed not to approve this idea.
"Little Rao, what do you say?" squinted Feng Ke.
"Cure them! Even if the price is big, can it be bigger than the star map?" Feng Rao answered resolutely.
"Can we trust him?" asked Feng Ke.
"His men are in our hands. If he doesn't exchange the star map for them, what can he do then? Moreover, this place is the Land of God Punishment, our territory. Will he be able to rebel?" Feng Rao smiled, "Don't worry. I'm sure he will keep his word."
"Alright, we will carry it out like that," Feng Ke pondered for a while, nodded then turned to his son, Feng Xiao. "You bring those three to Jester. Satisfy his requirements."
"I'm on it."
------------------------------
Land of God Punishment, West side.
The land was damaged and countless massive caves ran straight to the deep place underground.
Each cavern that looked like the giant mouth of the beast had a spacious stone hall. Those stone halls were connected to each other and expanded wide and large. People could walk through them to reach the inside of the Heaven Punishment City.
Inside a stone hall, which was protected with magical barriers, Shi Yan was giving a narration of how he got the star map to Ka Fu and Ka Tuo. Also, he didn't conceal about the agreement he had with Feng Rao.
The two brothers listened to him. After he was done, Ka Tuo frowned, and said with pain, "They're just three human body cauldrons. Are their lives worth the star map? Shi Yan, you've placed the value of your relationships with them to highly. It is not worth it. You see, how about we flee from the Land of God Punishment and use our own powers to explore the new star area?"
Ka Tuo became excited. His brutal eyes sparkled with dreams of desire. He spread his arms and mumbled, "A new star area... ten life stars... countless mineral ores and crystals... peculiar spiritual herbs... If we can have them all, we don't need to worry about anything else for the rest of our lives. Brother, we can establish our own territory. One day, we would make that star area mighty and prosperous like the other three forces. How wonderful would that be..."
"Don't be a daydreamer," Shi Yan snorted, "With our force, we can't have all of them. The information of the star map has been spread out. Many experts are keeping an eye on it. Even Feng Ke admits that he can't do it alone. He's contacting the big leaders of the other forces. Do you think you can gulf it yourself?"
"Da-ge, wake up. This boy is right. Even if we find the new star area, we can't protect it. Exploiting the new star area requires a giant workforce and resources. Your force is definitely too weak," Ka Fu advised his brother without showing a bit of his sympathy.
"I was just thinking about it a little. You guys don't need to be that serious, okay?" Ka Tuo was a little bit embarrassed. He harrumphed then said, "I will send someone to the Heaven Punishment City. If Feng Ke asks, we will have someone to report back to us."
"I want to make sure my three friends are alright. After that, I will hand over the star map," Shi Yan nodded. "The important thing is to make sure that my men are okay. We can deal with other matters later."
"Yeah, I got it. I won't mess with your business," Ka Tuo continued, "I still have some fame in the Land of God Punishment. I know what to do."
Shi Yan pondered for a while and then said, "I'm going to prepare. After a while, I will give you the other part of the inheritance. It will help you break through to the Original God Realm fast."
Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo's eyes brightened radiantly. He was so thrilled and surprised that he laughed nonstop.
