275: Companions reunited
Zhu Feng Ao's Clone just disappeared like that.
As sudden as his appearance.
Shen Xi deeply gazed at the spot where Zhu Feng Ao finally vanished, and sincerely bowed.
This was not because Zhu Feng Ao was stronger than him.
But because of that heart of his, which embraced the Human Race.
This Senior was worthy of his respect.
After a good while, Shen Xi finally came back to his senses.
"Hmm? With the Thatched Cottage, I now have all the permissions for the Sealed Land and can freely enter and exit here."
Shen Xi quickly understood many things through the information transmitted from the Thatched Cottage.
First, he was no longer restricted by the Sealed Land and could freely enter and exit.
Second, the Wind Chasing Swordplay was in the Thatched Cottage, and he could obtain it as long as he completed this final trial.
Third, the Thatched Cottage only contained the first half of the Wind Chasing Swordplay; of course, even the first half had already reached the Xuan-Grade High Grade level.
This made Shen Xi secretly click his tongue in amazement.
The outside world's evaluation of Senior Zhu Feng Ao was still too low.
Everyone thought that Senior Zhu Feng Ao should only be a Nirvana Realm expert, at most, a Yuyue Realm.
Now it seemed that Senior Zhu Feng Ao had long since transcended the Martial Dao Five Realms and reached an unimaginable height.
Even the first half of the Wind Chasing Swordplay left behind was already comparable to a Xuan-Grade High Grade Cultivation Technique, so if it were complete, wouldn't it reach Earth-Grade?
Earth-Grade Cultivation Techniques were not even possessed by Secluded Factions; once they appeared, the major Secluded Factions would fight to the death for them, and the entire Martial Artist world would be turned upside down!
And such a powerful individual could have lorded over the world, enjoying the worship of countless factions; it could be said that with just a flick of his finger, whatever he wanted would be actively delivered to his doorstep.
But Senior Zhu Feng Ao did not do so; he silently fought against Yao Beasts and secretly sacrificed everything for the Human Race.
The plan to tame Yao Beasts was just the tip of the iceberg that Shen Xi had learned; he could be certain that, besides this, Senior Zhu Feng Ao had done much more.
The most direct manifestation was that Senior Zhu Feng Ao had already died.
One must know that even Martial Dao Five Realms experts had lifespans ranging from five hundred to two thousand years; the stronger one's power, the longer one's lifespan.
And Senior Zhu Feng Ao was an existence that transcended the Martial Dao Five Realms; he could definitely live for several millennia without any problem.
However, as early as two thousand years ago, he had already died.
How Senior Zhu Feng Ao died remained a mystery.
Shen Xi had reason to suspect that he might have died for the Human Race.
Shen Xi was not clear about the specifics, but it should be related to Yao Beasts.
"I am still too weak; many things are still a mystery to me. Perhaps when my power is strong enough one day, I will know the truth."
Shen Xi shook his head and stopped thinking further.
He had also asked Little Doll before why Zhu Feng Ao died.
But even Little Doll couldn't explain it.
This filled his heart with curiosity, wanting to know the truth.
However, Shen Xi knew very well that with his current power, he couldn't access secrets of too high a level; to learn the truth, he would have to wait until the day he reached the same height.
"Fatty and the others have been outside and haven't left."
Through the Thatched Cottage, Shen Xi quickly sensed the situation outside the Sealed Land... "Almost a day has passed, and Xi Zi still hasn't come out. He couldn't have had some accident, could he?"
Fatty's brows were tightly furrowed, his face exceptionally grim.
He was filled with regret.
Although Shen Xi had repeatedly assured them that he had a life-saving trump card.
But what if this was a lie Shen Xi fabricated to reassure them and make them leave?
Even if it were true, to take a step back.
That was hundreds of thousands of Yao Beasts!
Could Shen Xi's trump card really work?
"No, I must go into the Sealed Land and see; otherwise, I really can't rest assured."
Beside him, Chu He stood up abruptly, about to rush into the Sealed Land.
The continuous lack of movement made him restless.
His life belonged to Shen Xi.
If it weren't for Shen Xi, he would still be a gambling slave used for entertainment, and who knows, one day he might anger his master or encounter a powerful opponent and be beaten to death.
It was Shen Xi who restored his freedom.
Now that Shen Xi's life and death were uncertain in the Sealed Land, he couldn't accept being safe and sound outside.
"Calm down. Who among us here isn't worried about Brother Shen's safety? But Brother Shen said he had the ability to protect himself, and us staying in the Sealed Land would only drag him down. Wouldn't rushing in now just cause more trouble?"
Beside him, Liu Linsheng quickly stopped Chu He.
He was also worried about Shen Xi, but he also knew that he and the others couldn't help Shen Xi and would only burden him.
"Then what should we do? Are we just supposed to wait here?"
"No, I agree with Chu He's suggestion; we must go in."
"Brother Shen, ah Brother Shen, what is your situation now? Have you escaped danger?"
"Damn it! It's better to go in and fight those Yao Beasts; staying here is too tormenting."
Everyone couldn't help but speak up.
Every second they stayed outside was another second of torment.
But they dared not rashly enter the Sealed Land.
Perhaps Shen Xi had already escaped danger and found a safe place to hide.
If they went in and were caught by the Yao Beasts, they would become leverage to threaten Shen Xi.
"The most troublesome problem now is that the sound transmission flower is useless, and we can't contact Brother Shen; otherwise, we wouldn't be so anxious. Heavens! Can't you open your eyes and let us know Brother Shen's current situation?"
Chen Fang looked up and roared unwillingly.
The unknown was the main reason for everyone's anxiety.
If they could know that Shen Xi was safe now, they wouldn't be restless.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Just then, Shen Xi used the Thatched Cottage to communicate with his companions.
"Hmm? The heavens have opened their eyes?"
Chen Fang was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised.
He subconsciously looked left and right, searching for Shen Xi's whereabouts.
"I'm not the heavens; you can come into the Sealed Land now. All the troubles have been resolved."
Shen Xi was amused, and at the same time, felt a warmth in his heart.
With these brothers who cared about him, his life was worth it.
"Go! Into the Sealed Land!"
"It's good to know Brother Shen is fine."
"I had already thought about it: if there was no news of Brother Shen tomorrow, dead or alive, I would go into the Sealed Land and fight those Yao Beasts!"
"I thought the same thing; at worst, I'll die. I'll break even if I fight one, and earn one if I fight two!"
"I just want to know now how Brother Shen managed to escape."
