Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 255 - 165: Demon Sect Army (3)

"Looks like not going back was the right choice."

"I wonder if Sister Dong can make it through?"

"Forget it, no need to worry about her. With Han Tieshan protecting her, who’s going to do anything to her?"

Jiang Feng felt both surprised and delighted.

He hadn’t expected his Fortune Point to increase this much.

"Another two thousand or so points and I’ll reach three hundred and twenty thousand. Then I can upgrade the Tai Chi Longevity Skill again."

"Too bad, in my current situation, it’s too risky to take any chances."

"I have to keep hiding, see if I can get a few more Fortune Points."

"Maybe when I get into the Divine Sect and gain their protection, my Fortune Point will surge even more."

Jiang Feng’s thoughts drifted all over.

Though he’d grown stronger with each step, he was always being suppressed by others.

He was a good Longevity Practitioner, yet he had to run and hide, always worrying his secret would be discovered by the Second Prince or Xiao Zhan and the others. In the end, it’s all because his strength is too weak. If only his Fortune Point could reach three hundred and twenty thousand and he became a Celestial Profound Realm powerhouse, maybe he’d never have to worry about his identity being revealed again and could face off against Xiao Zhan and the others head-on.

Although Jiang Feng didn’t want to take risks.

But sometimes, when trouble came to his door, being able to make the other party shut up with his strength would also feel pretty damn good.

Just like that, Jiang Feng sat down and adjusted his breathing for an hour, completely suppressing the internal injuries caused by Uncle Fu’s Cloud-Pushing Palm. With the effect of the Jade Dew Pill, Jiang Feng’s condition kept improving. Outwardly, he looked just like a normal, energetic person.

As long as he didn’t fight enemies with all his strength again, with both the Jade Dew Pill and the Tai Chi Longevity Skill, his internal injuries could heal fully within three months.

"Better get even farther away!"

"Staying far from the eye of the storm is never wrong."

"The Divine Sect is northwest of Nanfu City."

"Gotta head this way."

Jiang Feng pulled out his map. After confirming the direction, he continued on his way.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

Just like Wu Weiwei said, he was as nimble as a Spiritual Monkey, darting through the forest. In just a few blinks, he was twenty or thirty meters away, like a ghost flitting through the woods, only leaving behind flickers of afterimages.

"Huh, the Power of Heaven and Earth is gathering up ahead?"

Half an hour later, Jiang Feng stopped. He felt the Power of Heaven and Earth in his surroundings was methodically flowing forward, gathering ahead.

"This doesn’t seem like an Innate Powerhouse channeling the Power of Heaven and Earth."

"Could a Great Demon be drawing it in up ahead!"

"I’ve run so deep into the forest, probably already entered the Demon Race’s territory. If a Great Demon really is absorbing the Power of Heaven and Earth, in my present state, how could I stand a chance?"

"Time to run!"

Jiang Feng turned and fled, heading in the opposite direction of the flow of Power of Heaven and Earth.

After running five or six hundred meters,

Jiang Feng checked his Fortune Point.

Fortune: 317738

It had hardly increased at all.

The tiny gain came after he got farther from Nanfu City, and it had nothing to do with avoiding the flow of Power of Heaven and Earth.

"Huh, the direction of the Power of Heaven and Earth flow—it’s going toward the Divine Sect. The books said that these ancient sects all use Spirit Gathering Arrays for cultivation. Could this flow of Power of Heaven and Earth be caused by the Divine Sect’s Spirit Gathering Array?"

"I’ve reached the Divine Sect!"

Jiang Feng thought carefully and couldn’t help being shocked inside.

"Since there’s no danger, why not have a look?"

Thinking it through, Jiang Feng turned back and ran toward it, but he stayed cautious, making sure not to disturb the flow of Power of Heaven and Earth, lest he be discovered by whoever—or whatever—was over there.

After two quarter-hours,

Jiang Feng could feel the flow of Power of Heaven and Earth around him speeding up.

All of it converged toward a valley ahead.

Jiang Feng snuck over, recalling the Spirit Devouring Array he’d seen in Zhenbei Prison. He held his breath, circulated the Tai Chi Longevity Skill, and made himself as indetectable as a fossil, then slipped into the valley.

"Hm, is that the smell of blood?"

"Corpses?"

"Water Leopard King!"

"Black Tiger Demon!"

When he entered, Jiang Feng saw there were lots of fierce beast corpses in the valley.

Among them were also Water Leopard King and Black Tiger Demon, those common Half-Demons.

But these two Half-Demons were only Second Grade Refining Yuan Realm, much smaller in size.

"Why hasn’t His Highness come yet?"

"The Spiritual Spring is about to appear! If a Great Demon gets attracted here, how are we supposed to handle that?"

"It’s all that damn Demon Sect’s fault—forcing the prince to leave just us behind."

"The Spiritual Spring matters so much to His Highness. He definitely has some backup plan. Let’s just guard here and not overthink things."

"Yeah, all the Half-Demons around the valley got slaughtered by His Highness. We probably don’t need to worry about Demon Race creatures coming to steal from us."

"Shut up, all of you! Stand guard and keep your mouths shut."

Jiang Feng heard a group of voices.

He could also sense a few powerful, qi-blood-rich auras.

They were several Upper Third-Grade Martial Artists.

"His Highness?"

"Are they talking about the Second Prince?"

"Spiritual Spring? There’s actually a Spiritual Spring in this valley?"

Jiang Feng was shocked inside.

Of all things, he’d left Nanfu City and only wanted to join the Divine Sect, but ended up running into this bunch.

"Second Prince is cunning with countless tricks up his sleeve. If there’s really a Spiritual Spring showing up, there’s no way he’d leave just a few people to guard it, right?"

"Could this be a trap?"

Jiang Feng thought skeptically.

"But then what’s with all this Power of Heaven and Earth around here?"

"No matter how capable Second Prince is, he couldn’t make the Power of Heaven and Earth from all directions gather here. It’s not like the Spirit Devouring Array scene back in the prison."

Jiang Feng frowned, thinking it through in detail.

"Forget it. A Spiritual Spring may boost cultivation and prolong life, but it’s not worth this kind of risk—especially since it’s the Second Prince’s thing. If I anger him, and he hunts me down to the Divine Sect, it’ll all be for nothing."

Jiang Feng talked himself out of it.

Just remembering how the Second Prince fought alone against a True Essence Realm and two Primordial Realm experts, pummeling a True Essence Realm powerhouse to death, breaking out of the Demon Sect encirclement, and returning easily to Nanfu City, Jiang Feng couldn’t help but shiver.

He just felt this valley couldn’t be so simple—it was wrong to be fooled by appearances.

So he slowly backed out, not wanting to get mixed up with the Spiritual Spring at all.

"Screech!"

But just then,

a burst of demonic wind swept from behind him.

A piercing screech echoed in from outside the valley.

"Screech screech screech screech!"

Along with that call,

an uproar of bone-chilling cries rang out all around the valley. Jiang Feng looked back.

Monkeys.

Monkeys.

Monkeys.

Hordes of monkeys stretching across the mountains!
