Chapter 559 World Invasion: Cannon Fodder in Infinite Terror VS The Ghost King Killed by the Origina
Su Jinyue searched for a long time before finally finding candlelight in the courtyard behind the main hall, where she could vaguely hear voices.
She carefully crept over and quietly reached the window.
With her divine sense penetrating the wall, Su Jinyue realized that this should be a study, with bookshelves installed on three walls, filled with books.
In the main seat of the study sat a sprightly old man with a serious expression. There was another person standing in front of the desk. Su Jinyue was surprised to find that the young man standing there was actually Feng Jianxiao!
She remembered that the plot mentioned that Feng Jianxiao's family was a reclusive family. Could this be the location of the Feng family?!
"Xiao'er, do you know your mistake?"
“Father—” Feng Jianxiao looked stubbornly at his father, whose face showed a hint of anger. After a moment of confrontation, he finally lowered his head.
"I know I was wrong."
Feng's father was disappointed in his son, but seeing his son, a rare and precious child born to him in his old age, he couldn't help but soften his heart.
"Xiao'er, I know that you are new to the world and interested in its wonders, and you are bound to be sentimental. But you should not forget the priorities!"
As your father, I sent you out so that you could make a name for yourself, so that you could conquer the world with your strength and become the leader of our Xuanmen generation. I didn't want you to be infatuated with love and revolve around just one woman!
Look at you, willing to stay in such a small place for some shady woman, what kind of future can you possibly have?
"I had your senior brother bring you back, and you're still so unwilling. Is that woman really that good? Do you even remember your own surname?"
In the end, Mr. Feng couldn't help but slam his hand on the table.
Hearing his father belittle the person he liked, Feng Jianxiao couldn't help but retort: "Father, Wanwan is not some disreputable woman, she is the person I like!"
"Xiao'er!" Father Feng raised his voice, "Don't forget why you went out in the first place!"
Feng Jianxiao was taken aback and temporarily abandoned the idea of explaining what a good girl Yu Shiwan was.
Looking at Feng Jianxiao, who was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation, Feng's father couldn't help but sigh inwardly, his face showing signs of fatigue and dejection.
He waved his hand weakly, signaling Feng Jianxiao to leave.
"Alright, it's too late today. You should go home now. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Oh, and remember to visit your mother. While you were gone, she worried about you every day, afraid you weren't eating or sleeping well. Seeing you sooner will put her mind at ease.
Upon hearing the mention of Feng's mother, Feng Jianxiao's expression softened. He said "okay" and withdrew.
Feng's father did not leave. After Feng Jianxiao left, Su Jinyue came out from her hiding place and continued to keep watch over Feng's father.
Su Jinyue felt that Feng Jianxiao was not important; she vaguely sensed that Feng's father definitely had a big secret, which might be related to the Imperial Advisor.
After Feng Jianxiao left, the study was silent for a long time before a long sigh came from inside.
Feng's father felt that he was born at the wrong time. In the Dharma-ending Age, spiritual energy was scarce, and cultivation was no longer possible. His family could only continue to cultivate as Xuanqi Masters.
The Feng family is declining generation after generation, not because of a lack of talent, but because of extremely poor external conditions.
Over the course of thousands of years, this once vast sect has suffered a severe loss of talent, and now only about a thousand people remain to persevere.
Father Feng was truly afraid that the entire Feng family would completely decline in his generation.
He wasn't saying this without reason. In the Dharma-ending Age, spirit stone mines no longer exist, but the operation of formations requires energy.
Nowadays, there are not many spirit stones left in the warehouse from his ancestors. In recent years, he has also been looking for energy stones from the outside world that can replace spirit stones.
However, the gains were minimal.
It is estimated that in the near future, the energy of the formation will be exhausted, and the Feng family, which has been in seclusion for thousands of years, will be forced to enter the world.
However, a glint flashed in Feng's father's eyes. Fortunately, there's always a way out!
Several years ago, he learned from people who went out to buy supplies that there were ghosts invading the outside world, and that some people could even go to a secret place to do missions.
After investigating, Feng's father learned some secrets. He went to that place and found that he could obtain rare and precious materials that would greatly increase his strength, and he might even gain superpowers!
Isn't superpower just another manifestation of spiritual roots?
Feng's father was certain that it was a secret realm, but now that realm was in the hands of the state.
Therefore, Feng's father spent several years using all sorts of spiritual items and medicinal herbs that the family had painstakingly acquired to rapidly improve his son Feng Jianxiao's strength.
This year, Feng's father estimated that Feng Jianxiao's strength should be enough for him to stand above the experts in the outside world and look down on all others, which is why he sent him out of the mountains to make his way in the world.
Who would have thought that Feng Jianxiao, this unfilial son, instead of thinking about important matters, would be blinded by a woman.
Another point that Feng's father had to admit was that he had underestimated the resources and influence of the outside world.
With Feng Jianxiao's strength, there are actually people in the outside world who are on par with him, and there is more than one!
The father refused to admit that his carefully nurtured son was inferior to the other party.
But he had a vague feeling that if the two sides fought fairly, Feng Jianxiao might actually lose.
If Su Jinyue knew what Feng's father was thinking, she would just roll her eyes and tell him that Feng Jianxiao's strength, which was improved by external means, could not compare to the strength that was earned through real fighting.
Not to mention that Feng Jianxiao is no match for Su Jinyue, even compared to Wu Shuyao and Meng Beiye, Feng Jianxiao might not have the upper hand.
Feng's father's gaze was heavy, and he had to admit in his heart that his son was really no match for the chosen ones outside.
But he was truly unwilling to accept it. How could he, the son of the head of a prestigious, reclusive family, be inferior to others?
How can we improve Xiao'er's strength and make him stronger?
Perhaps, that's the only way...
Father Feng looked up, his distant gaze seemingly piercing through the study wall and looking in a certain direction...
Father Feng sat silently for most of the hour. Just as Su Jinyue was getting impatient and was about to go check other places, he finally moved.
He got up, left the study, then stopped. After a while, as if he had finally made up his mind, he walked in one direction.
Su Jinyue perked up and followed Feng's father silently and nimbly.
Feng's father walked through the layers of buildings, step by step, towards the back mountain.
Su Jinyue and Xiao Jing'an followed carefully behind. Although the path that Feng's father took was close to other buildings, it only led to the back mountain and there were hardly any people on the road. Therefore, the two of them followed at a relatively easy pace.
The largest building on the back mountain is the ancestral hall. Feng's father went directly into a small house to the left of the main entrance of the ancestral hall.
It was late at night, and there was only a candle burning dimly in the small house. Boundless darkness enveloped the entire room. When Feng's father pushed open the door, he hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he stepped into the darkness.
