Chapter 107: Another Visit to Xiewang Dong

The cargo ship carrying Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun was slow because of its heavy load, and the two, anxious as if their hearts were on fire, wished they could jump into the river and swim back quickly.

The ship carrying Demon Person Duan Fengyun had a light load, so it sped along the way and soon returned to Zhongyuan.

Seeing Demon Person Duan Fengyun jump off the ship, the Garrison Army shouted happily:

"Hero Duan, you're back!"

Demon Person Duan Fengyun looked at the Garrison Army with an icy, frosty gaze, ignored him, and strode away.

Watching the arrogant Demon Person Duan Fengyun, the Garrison Army was furious; did he not just rely on having a bit of skill?

What was there for him to be so smug about!

Two hours later, the cargo ship carrying Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun finally docked.

Having learned his lesson, the Garrison Army saw Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun get off the ship but did not go up to greet them.

Nie Feng took the initiative to step forward and greet him:

"Young man! May I ask if you have seen Duan Fengyun?"

Seeing Nie Feng's attitude, the Garrison Army's mood improved a lot.

He replied:

"Hero Nie, Hero Duan arrived two hours ago.

But Hero Duan seemed like a different person, cold as frost; he didn't even respond when I greeted him."

Hearing that Duan Fengyun had actually arrived two hours before them, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun knew something was wrong, and they had to hurry back.

Led by the Garrison Army, they came to the stables and found the horses the three of them had left there earlier.

The two found their horses, and after a brief farewell to the Garrison Army, they mounted their horses and whipped them to hurry toward Duanqing Ju.

Inside Duanqing Ju, Youruo and Chuchu, whose bellies were growing larger by the day, sat outside the door every day, waiting for their husbands to return.

A burst of hoofbeats attracted the two of them, as well as Qin Shuang and the others.

Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun arrived at Duanqing Ju on horseback, tied up their horses, and walked outside the house.

Seeing the two of them return alone, Youruo immediately had an ominous premonition in her heart.

She asked:

"Feng, Yun, where is Duan Fengyun!"

Qin Shuang looked for a long time, thinking that Duan Fengyun wanted to give everyone a surprise, but no one came out for a long time, and the expressions of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun told him that things were not that simple.

Qin Shuang also asked:

"Junior Brother Feng, Junior Brother Yun, where is Junior Brother Duan?

Didn't you go to Dongying together? Why did only the two of you return, and why is Junior Brother Duan missing?"

Nie Feng then informed everyone of what had happened to the three of them in Dongying.

The two also raised their own question: when the three of them turned around at that time, what exactly did the Eight-Headed Serpent do to Duan Fengyun? It caused Duan Fengyun to have such a demonic outburst and lose his sanity.

Youruo said:

"Then where is he? If he has entered the Demonic Path, he hasn't been killed, has he!"

Nie Feng shook his head and said:

"Even if Junior Brother Duan has entered the Demonic Path, how could we possibly bring ourselves to harm him?

He left Dongying before us, and we don't know where he is now.

Brother Yun and I are planning to go to Xiewang Dong to find Senior Xiehuang and ask how to restrain Junior Brother Duan's demonic nature!"

Zhu Huang sighed and said:

"As far as I know, anyone who practices the Demonic Blade will sink into the Demonic Path and find it hard to turn back."

Bu Jingyun was about to add something, but Zhu Huang signaled for him to wait until he finished speaking.

Zhu Huang continued:

"But this fellow Duan Fengyun, after the Demonic Blade was completed that day, actually had no changes at all, which is truly hard to understand.

I support your idea of going to Xiewang Dong; perhaps Xiehuang will have a way to save this kid."

There was no time to lose; having just arrived home and explained the situation, the two of them prepared to set off again.

Qin Shuang would not let them leave him behind this time, and he said:

"Junior Brother Feng, Junior Brother Yun, no matter what you say this time, I must go with you.

Junior Brother Duan has sacrificed so much for me, and I must do something for him as well."

Youruo bowed to the three of them and said:

"Three senior brothers, I leave this matter to you."

Qin Shuang hurriedly helped Youruo up and said:

"Youruo, rest assured.

We will definitely find a way to help Junior Brother Duan break free from the Demonic Path."

After saying goodbye to everyone, the three of them rode their horses toward Xiewang Dong.

The three of them arrived outside Xiewang Dong and happened to run into Di San Xiaotong, who was returning from being out.

Nie Feng said:

"Miss Xiaotong, may I ask if you still recognize us?"

Xiao Tong revealed her white teeth and smiled innocently:

"How could I not recognize you!

You are my Senior Brother Duan's senior brothers, so of course you are my senior brothers too.

Why are only the three of you here, where is my Senior Brother Duan?"

Qin Shuang replied:

"Xiao Tong, we have come this time precisely for the sake of your Senior Brother Duan."

"Hurry and take us to see Senior Xiehuang; we have urgent matters that require his help."

Seeing that there was an urgent matter, Xiao Tong did not say much more and hurriedly opened Xiewang Dong to lead the three of them to see Xiehuang.

At this moment inside Xiewang Dong, Xiehuang was playing chess with Daohuang, and Daohuang, whose chess skills were not refined, was currently acting shamelessly toward Xiehuang.

Seeing people enter, the two of them immediately transformed into that usual cold-as-ice appearance.

Nie Feng and the other two greeted the two of them.

Daohuang looked at Nie Feng and said:

"You stinky brat, why aren't you properly taking care of my daughter in Duanqing Ju, and instead running to Xiewang Dong?"

"How long until you let this old man drink your wedding wine and let me hold my grandson?"

Nie Feng answered embarrassedly:

"Senior, the junior has truly come this time for an urgent matter; please allow me to answer your question later."

Immediately, the three of them knelt down before Xiehuang with a thud.

Seeing this posture from the three, Xiehuang hurriedly used True Qi to lift the three of them up and said:

"You three lads are all fellow disciples with my apprentice, there is no need to be so formal."

"By the way, why is he not here this time to see me, his master?"

Qin Shuang spoke up:

"Senior, we have come this time precisely to beg Senior to take action to save Junior Brother Duan!"

Xiehuang stood up from his chair and said:

"What has happened to my apprentice?"

Immediately, Nie Feng told Xiehuang about Duan Fengyun falling into the Demonic Path.

Xiehuang shook his head and said the same words as Zhu Huang.

"Once one cultivates the Demonic Blade, it is difficult to turn back; this is something I told him before he cultivated it."

Immediately, Qin Shuang also relayed the words that Zhu Huang had said afterward.

Xiehuang nodded and said:

"Zhu Huang is also correct."

"For Duan Fengyun to be able to clearly retain his sanity after the Demonic Blade reached completion is in itself an act that defies reason."

"Now that he has fallen into the Demonic Path, the only way is to pierce the Demon Eye on his forehead; the Demon Eye is where his Demonic Essence resides."

"Once the Demon Eye is broken, the Demonic Essence will flow out, and he will naturally recover his sanity."

"However, he has already fallen into the Demonic Path and recognizes no kin; you must all be extremely careful."

"But I believe you will definitely save him, and I also believe he will recover."

The three of them thanked Xiehuang profusely, and after Nie Feng and Daohuang chatted briefly about the situation, the three of them took their leave.

Now that Duan Fengyun was sinking into the Demonic Path, they had to find him as quickly as possible and make him recover, otherwise the world would be plunged into misery.
