Chapter 449: with translation of chapter title

Hearing Kun Long's words, Jiang Feng also saw clearly all the treasures in the cave.

Even he was shocked by the mountain cave full of good things, his eyes staring wide.

Things were scattered all over the cave floor.

The most conspicuous were piles of crystal-clear spirit pills; besides that, the corners were stacked with many skeletons.

Jiang Feng looked at the treasures covering the ground, feeling somewhat surprised.

Just as Jiang Feng was secretly doubting, Kun Long's voice sounded again in his mind.

"Hiss! Holy shit! This guy, wait…… that's actually a Soul-Condensing Pill!"

"Great! Jiang Feng kid, His Seat can tell you clearly, this Soul-Condensing Pill is extremely important to His Seat, it will greatly help His Seat recover his divine soul injury! As for other things, whether spirit pills or secret manuals, His Seat can let you have them, but this Soul-Condensing Pill must be entirely His Seat's! Otherwise His Seat won't let this rest!"

Jiang Feng heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, he was both laughing and crying.

He certainly knew that this time they could smoothly resolve Gu Xuanming, thanks to Kun Long.

It's not worth quarreling with Kun Long over this bit of Soul-Condensing Pill.

"Don't worry, you won't miss out, these Soul-Condensing Pills are all yours, I won't take even a bit from you, alright?"

As soon as Jiang Feng agreed, Kun Long instantly fell silent.

Immediately afterward, Jiang Feng felt a slight warmth on his shoulder, a wisp of faint golden lingering soul drifted out from his body, exactly Kun Long's lingering soul illusion.

This wisp of lingering soul moved extremely fast, instantly drifting before the pile of Soul-Condensing Pills, turning into a golden light that swept up all the pills on the ground, leaving none behind.

After sweeping away the Soul-Condensing Pills, that wisp of lingering soul lingered not at all, quickly drifting back into Jiang Feng's body, burrowing into his divine sea.

Immediately afterward, Jiang Feng felt that inside his divine sea all was quiet.

Jiang Feng smiled and did not go disturb Kun Long.

He could feel that after Kun Long's lingering soul burrowed into the divine sea, it emitted a faint energy fluctuation.

After Kun Long fell silent, Jiang Feng redirected his gaze toward the remaining treasures in the cave.

He roughly looked over everything in the cave, but he kept feeling that something was off.

Gu Xuanming was the sect leader of the Gu Wang Sect; back then the Gu Wang Sect was at its peak, with immense power, as sect leader, how could Gu Xuanming's treasures be only these?

Thus, Jiang Feng stopped lingering and continued forward along the deeper part of the cave.

The deeper part of the cave became more spacious, the light grew brighter, and he could clearly see everything around.

After walking about ten or so steps, Jiang Feng stopped, his gaze fixed firmly on the stone wall ahead.

He saw that the stone wall was engraved with many densely packed characters.

These characters were twisted and crooked, resembling ancient pictographs, also like some unknown totem symbols, looking extremely obscure and hard to understand.

Jiang Feng stared at these characters for a long time; the longer he looked, the stranger they seemed. Although they appeared chaotic, there seemed to be a special pattern hidden within, giving a feeling of mysterious inscrutability.

Jiang Feng had seen many ancient texts in Kunlun, but he did not recognize any of these characters before him, not even a hint of familiarity.

However, Jiang Feng's intuition told him that these characters were definitely not simple.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng felt a surge of excitement and immediately called out to Kun Long in his mind.

But after calling out several times in succession, there was no response from within his divine sea.

Jiang Feng smiled helplessly, knowing without thinking that Kun Long was surely busy refining the Soul-Condensing Pills with all his might, having no time to pay attention to him.

Since Kun Long did not respond, Jiang Feng could do nothing.

He stared at the characters on the stone wall for a long time, trying to find some clues, but in the end he was still completely at a loss.

Jiang Feng simply took out his phone from his pocket and photographed the characters on the stone wall bit by bit.

Afterwards, he stopped lingering, turned around, and walked toward the cave entrance.

To him, the remaining things had no value.

After about half an hour, Jiang Feng reached the foot of the mountain.

From afar, he saw a vehicle parked by the roadside.

Ma Jian and Duanmu Hongjie were waiting beside the vehicle.

Seeing Jiang Feng walk down from the mountain, Ma Jian and Duanmu Hongjie's eyes lit up instantly, and the two quickly stepped forward to meet him.

"Jiang Ge! You've finally come down!"

"Are you alright? Any injuries? The commotion on the mountain just now was too great; we felt a terrifying energy fluctuation down here, scaring us so we didn't dare go up the mountain!"

"You don't know, that energy fluctuation just now startled the Chu City City Defense Group; they were about to send people up the mountain to check, but luckily I and Ma Jian promptly revealed our identities and suppressed the matter……"

Jiang Feng heard this and lightly waved his hand.

"Just a minor issue, already settled…… the Gu Wang Sect people won't appear again."

As soon as he said that, Ma Jian and Duanmu Hongjie both sighed in relief.

They had long known Jiang Feng was formidable, but they never imagined he had become this strong, capable of slaying a Martial Ancestor Strongman.

At that moment, Jiang Feng suddenly recalled those obscure characters on the stone wall, his eyes shifted, and he immediately asked.

"By the way, Xiao Jian, Hong Jie, I have something I want to ask you: do you two know any experts who study ancient scripts? Preferably someone who researches ancient or obscure characters."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng's question, Ma Jian and Duanmu Hongjie instantly fell into contemplation.

Ma Jian furrowed his brows, thought carefully for a while, then shook his head.

"I do know people from various walks of life around me, but I truly don't know any experts in ancient scripts, let alone those who study remote, obscure characters."

Duanmu Hongjie also furrowed his brows, lightly tapping his fingers on his chin, sinking into thought.

"Experts in ancient scripts…… researching remote ancient characters……"

At that moment, Duanmu Hongjie's eyes suddenly lit up; he slapped his thigh hard and exclaimed excitedly.

"Right! I remember now! I know a person, she is a professor of paleontology at Ninghai University, erudite and knowledgeable, with a broad research scope; she not only understands paleontology but also has deep research into ancient scripts, perhaps she knows these remote ancient characters!"

Upon hearing Duanmu Hongjie's words, Jiang Feng's eyes lit up and hope ignited in his heart.

"Really? Can we get in touch with her as soon as possible?"

But just then, Ma Jian beside him heard Duanmu Hongjie's words, his face turned pale, and his body stiffened slightly.

"Hong Jie, you couldn't be talking about that big shot, could you?"

Hiss!

Although knowing Duanmu Hongjie really wanted to suck up to Jiang Ge, that person is also not someone these two small fry can get in touch with, ah!

Although they are both from the Nine Great Families...

But people are still different from each other, ah!

Seeing Ma Jian's strange expression, Jiang Feng couldn't help but be startled.

"What's wrong? Does this professor have some problem?"
