Chapter 2196 - 2195: Swimming Against the Current
Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya sat down and asked with a smile, "What are you saying about me?"
The Peacock King had someone serve him wine, raised his glass, and said happily, "We were talking about how you became an idol of our Demon Clan. Our cultivators saw you bloodbath the Ancient Demon Clan. It was truly earth-shattering, even I admire you greatly. Now the Tyrant Dragon Clan is nearly wiped out, the Ancient Demon Clan’s top ten elders have lost five, posing no threat to us anymore."
Long Fei drank a glass with him and reminded him, "Big brother, although many of the Ancient Demon Clan’s top members are dead, they are not fundamentally broken. This force must still be guarded against. They keep developing Blood Spirit Stones and might get entangled with the Demon Race in the future."
"I’ll be wary of that!"
The Peacock King nodded and asked him, "When are you leaving?"
Long Fei replied, "I came to say goodbye to you, big brother."
The Peacock King said, "I know I can’t keep you. Your brothers have already left first, so you are bound to go up as well. I don’t know when we’ll meet again, just hope you take care. When you return, we’ll drink to our hearts’ content again."
Long Fei raised his glass with a smile and said, "Of course, when I return, we won’t stop until we’re drunk."
He had a drink with the Peacock King.
Kong Qing and the others across raised their glasses and said, "We also toast to Brother Long. If it weren’t for you, we would probably have died in the Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
Long Fei smiled and raised his glass, "We are friends, no need for many words."
He and Wang Xiaoya had a drink with Kong Qing and the others.
Kong Qing stood up, clasped her fist toward the Peacock King, and said, "Uncle, niece also wants to go see the Great World. Please take good care of my three sworn brothers, so they won’t suffer grievances here."
As soon as she spoke, everyone frowned slightly.
The Peacock King asked, "You want to leave too?"
Kong Qing nodded, "Yes, I want to strive for some fortune for our Peacock Clan. There must be more opportunities in the Great World than here."
The Dragon-Scaled Elephant King advised, "But there are also many dangers in the Great World?"
The Golden-Haired Lion King said, "Yes, Fourth Sister, you’d better stay and cultivate with us?"
The Single-Horned Rhino King said, "That’s right, the environment on this Demon King Star suits us, why go to an unknown world and adventure?"
Kong Qing firmly said, "Sailing against the current, you must move forward or you will be swept back. How can you not face danger? I’ve made up my mind, dear brothers, please don’t persuade me anymore."
The three Demon Kings saw her resolve and said nothing more, only raising their glasses to toast with her.
They knew their mana was not high.
If they followed Kong Qing, they would only be a burden to her.
Staying by Long Fei’s side, with him taking care of her, the journey should be fine.
The Peacock King sighed and said to Long Fei, "Brother Long, please take good care of my niece."
Long Fei smiled at the beautiful peacock princess, "Of course, she is your niece, also my niece."
Kong Qing slightly curled her lips, thinking this guy really knows how to take advantage.
"Indeed, indeed!"
The Peacock King nodded with a laugh, chatted casually with Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya for a while, and personally stood up to see them off.
On the Ancestral Mountain of the Peacock Clan, the formation of the Starry Ancient Path had been completely opened.
During the days Long Fei was in seclusion, over a hundred forces had already ascended from here to the Great World.
After they left, the teleportation channel here was still crowded with people.
Some were watching the excitement, some were saying goodbye, some were preparing to leave.
When Long Fei arrived nearby, his eyes fell on two people.
They were surprised to see Long Fei too, but were quickly enveloped by a Mysterious Light, disappearing instantly.
Long Fei raised his eyebrows, not expecting those two to still be together.
They were Zhu Yuchen and Zhang Hengyu.
The two came to this world very low-profile and left just as quietly, coincidentally running into Long Fei.
Long Fei was in no hurry to pay attention to them; he turned back to bid farewell to the Peacock King, "Sending a friend a thousand miles, we must part eventually. Take care, big brother, this is farewell."
"Goodbye!"
Wang Xiaoya also clasped her hands in salute.
The Peacock King nodded and took out a Storage Ring, handing it to Long Fei, "You’re leaving, I don’t have much to give you. Inside are the spirit fruits I just picked, take them to eat on the road."
People of cultivation don’t bother with mundane gifts.
Long Fei took it happily, clasping his fists in thanks.
The Peacock King took out a Rainbow Cloud Clothes and handed it to his niece Kong Qing, saying, "This girl, your uncle hasn’t looked after you since you were small. This garment is the treasure of our Peacock Clan, keep it well. When in danger, just wear it."
Kong Qing took it, her eyes slightly red, "Thank you, Uncle."
The Peacock King laughed heartily, "Alright, when you get old, you can’t help feeling sentimental. Take care, we’ll meet again when you return."
Long Fei, Wang Xiaoya, and Kong Qing all clasped their fists to him, turned, and walked together to the teleportation altar.
The surrounding Demon Clan members recognized him, instinctively stepping back, afraid this Demon God would eat them.
A Mysterious Light swept over, and the three of Long Fei quickly disappeared.
The Space Law rotated in all directions, converging to form a teleportation channel, swallowing them inside, moving swiftly towards the other end.
The three moved back and forth in the teleportation channel without much surprise.
Only when encountering a space storm did Kong Qing slightly waver, and Long Fei reached out to steady her waist, lending a hand.
With a beauty in each arm, Kong Qing and Wang Xiaoya blushed with slight embarrassment.
When the space storm subsided, Kong Qing hurriedly distanced herself from him.
Long Fei chuckled to himself, thinking she really was the flower of the Peacock Clan.
Her slender waist was soft, feeling great in his arms.
But in front of his wife, he didn’t overdo it, behaving properly throughout the journey.
This time, they stayed in the wormhole for more than ten hours, showing just how far the journey was.
When light appeared at the other end of the wormhole, Long Fei was already prepared. Whether Kong Qing liked it or not, he held the two beauties and spun out of the exit.
Others were almost thrown out; only the three of them descended gracefully.
Here, yellow sand hit their faces, Spiritual Energy was dried up, and there was only a little oxygen.
The surroundings were desolate, without sun or moon, the sky covered by yellow clouds, only the sound of the wind roaring in their ears.
Around the teleportation altar were a dozen-something small mountain-like objects standing here.
The ground also had bodies half-covered by yellow sand, indicating intense battles happened here before.
Long Fei searched and found only one small mountain-like object showing signs of human activity.
He said to Wang Xiaoya and Kong Qing, "I understand now, the wormhole doesn’t lead directly to the destination but has many junctions. The so-called Starry Ancient Path consists of these junction points. These stations used to be Life Planets, with land and a habitable environment."
Wang Xiaoya looked around astonished, "This is called a Life Planet?"
Long Fei chuckled, "The world changes over time, it’s ever-changing."
He fiddled with one of the teleportation altars, inserting Spirit Stones to activate the array.
A light beam shot rapidly upward, scattering the yellow clouds above, forming vortex-like air currents.
Kong Qing asked, "This teleportation channel is the right one, isn’t it?"
Long Fei replied, "Yes, I have the Celestial Road Map, it’s this direction."
While he was speaking, a small hissing sound echoed in his ears.
Suddenly, something underneath the sand burst out, opening its giant mouth wide, with dagger-like teeth, lunging to swallow them whole.
