Chapter 743: with translation of chapter title

743. Chapter 741 Take good care of your wounds.

Finally returned to Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan had been waiting for a long time.

He saw Feng Tianfeng appear and felt deeply moved, "Your safe return is our blessing."

Feng Tianfeng smiled and nodded, gratefully saying, "I never thought I could really be rescued; I am truly grateful to you."

Lu Yuan lightly patted his shoulder, "You are our friend, we will naturally do our best to help."

Inside Lei Huo Dan Ge, Feng Tianfeng received careful treatment.

Zi Xi'er cooked nourishing food for him, while Lu Yuan used immortal arts to restore his battle energy and strength.

After several days of conditioning and recovery, Feng Tianfeng was finally able to get out of bed and move.

He sighed, "If you hadn't appeared in time, I might still be struggling desperately in that dark, damp secret room."

Zi Xi'er shook her head and smiled, "That was just an interlude."

"Now the most important thing is to ensure you can live safely and without worry."

Feng Tianfeng looked at her emotionally, "Zi Xi'er, since this rescue operation succeeded, I think I no longer have a reason to return to Wuyun City."

Lu Yuan heard this and slightly froze, vaguely sensing the meaning in Feng Tianfeng's words.

Zi Xi'er also felt a stir in her heart, she asked softly, "Do you want to stay in Lei Huo Dan Ge?"

Feng Tianfeng nodded and said seriously, "If you don't mind, I am willing to stay and serve Lei Huo Dan Ge."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, looked at Feng Tianfeng and said solemnly, "Feng Tianfeng, we welcome your joining."

"Lei Huo Dan Ge needs someone like you who is responsible for duties and highly skilled."

Feng Tianfeng's face showed joy, "Thank you for your trust."

In the hidden station west of Heavenly Wind City, Feng Tianfeng was like a thoughtful nanny, carefully attending to the injured Zi Xi'er.

Since they left Lei Huo Dan Ge, the relationship between the two has become more intimate and harmonious.

Zi Xi'er lay quietly on the bed, watching the light and shadow on the ceiling, she gazed at the weak sunlight outside the window and let out a faint sigh.

She knew she had let Feng Tianfeng down, failing to protect him at that critical moment.

Feng Tianfeng walked over and sat in the chair beside Zi Xi'er's bed, speaking gently.

"Zi Xi'er, don't think too much."

"We have ultimately returned here safely."

Hearing Feng Tianfeng's words, Zi Xi'er's face showed a hint of guilt, "Sorry, Feng Tianfeng."

"I have caused you a lot of trouble."

Feng Tianfeng shook his head, "What do you have to apologize for?"

"After all, those were my own choices to face."

Zi Xi'er nodded silently, knowing that no explanation could clear her guilt; she could only silently accept Feng Tianfeng's tolerance and inclusiveness.

Just then, a message arrived: Lei Huo Dan Ge was annihilated by the cult forces.

Feng Tianfeng looked shocked at the messenger, immediately grasping the severity of the situation.

He told Zi Xi'er the news and expressed his hope to go rescue the survivors.

Zi Xi'er's eyes showed determination, "I will also accompany you."

The two decided to set out for Lei Huo Dan Ge; they could not stand by and watch the place they once lived be destroyed in an instant.

Along the journey, Zi Xi'er revealed to Feng Tianfeng the cult's atrocities: they forced alchemists to produce pills for them and hid demonic energy.

In this way, cultivators who consume these pills turn into demonic cultivators, becoming loyal slaves under the cult's control.

"Why didn't they directly attack Lei Huo Dan Ge?" Feng Tianfeng asked doubtfully.

Zi Xi'er gave a wry smile, "Because the pills used by the cultivators of Lei Huo Dan Ge also contain demonic energy, but we are highly skilled, using pill refinement to remove the demonic nature."

"Those cult organizations have long been aware of this; they sent most of their cultivators to seize the pill formula, leaving only a small part to guard their lair."

Feng Tianfeng listened intently, vaguely feeling that there must be a deeper reason behind this.

Zi Xi'er suddenly took out a small bottle, "This is the demonic energy extracted from the Beneficial Treasure Pill; you can witness it yourself."

Feng Tianfeng took the small bottle and carefully observed the black gas floating inside.

His heart jolted; at that moment he seemed to see the truth of the entire sect's annihilation.

"This is the cult's true goal!"

He muttered softly, "They want to use demonic energy to alter the cultivators' origin, making everyone slaves under their control."

Zi Xi'er nodded, "Exactly."

"Now that we know the truth, we must face and oppose this unknown future."

Feng Tianfeng clenched his fists, "Yes, we absolutely cannot stand by and watch innocent people become demonic cultivators."

On the outskirts of the Forgotten Land in the southern mountains of Wufeng City, a camp built by wandering cultivators became a place for communication and trade.

During the wait, the cultivators organized a small market, with Lu Yuan arranging protection to ensure transaction safety.

Although Feng Tianfeng had never seen the market himself, he understood it through the descriptions of Lu Yuan and Su Liyan.

This time coming to the Forgotten Land, Feng Tianfeng felt unusually excited.

After Lei Huo Dan Ge was destroyed by the cult forces, he has always felt guilty.

Now he has the opportunity to interact with other cultivators, find like-minded people to oppose the cult, and he deeply feels this is a rare opportunity.

People came and went in the camp, bustling extraordinarily.

Feng Tianfeng saw a small stall not far away selling rare materials and Fobao.

He walked over, preparing to purchase some items that would aid his cultivation.

Just as he was carefully examining the treasures before him, a woman in white robes walked over and blocked his view.

She had a graceful and charming figure, appearing to be in her early twenties, but her eyes revealed a profound wisdom.

Su Liyan seemed to sense his inner turmoil, and she smiled gently, "Don't worry, Lu Yuan is very important to you."

"He has always been worried about you."

Hearing this, Feng Tianfeng felt warm in his heart.

He felt that everything he had done was not in vain; it was a difficult choice.

"Thank you for telling me these."

Feng Tianfeng sincerely expressed his gratitude to Su Liyan.

Su Liyan smiled faintly, "No need to be polite."

"We are the real family; we need to support each other."

Having said that, Su Liyan then left.

Her appearance brought Feng Tianfeng a hint of warmth and courage; he knew he was no longer alone.

Half a month has passed in the Land of Forgetting deep within the southern mountain ranges of Five Abundance City.

Zi Xi'er and Feng Tianfeng finally reunited with Lu Yuan and Su Liyan.

After returning to the camp, they joined other Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, together sharing their exploration experiences upon return. (End of Chapter)
