Chapter 896: Chi Tong The Prodigy (3)
A highly esteemed young prodigy and a notoriously vicious leader. No one would have linked the two together, no matter how one looked at it.
Meng Fusheng and Linghe were both perplexed over why Chi Tong did not return to the Kingdom of Sa Er. However, Ji Fengyan had a vague feeling that Chi Tong’s bloody battle that year was not an accident. He must have detected or uncovered something. That was why he chose to disappear and fled to the Free Valley.
Nevertheless, these were not things that Ji Fengyan should not spend too much time mulling over.
Taking advantage of the imminent war between Zhai Xing Lou and Yan Luo Dian, she decided to make another trip to the Forest of Freedom. She surmised that the two powers would be too preoccupied with the battle to have time to dally in the forest.
“Brother Ling and Leader Meng. Both of you choose a few men to accompany me to the Forest of Freedom tonight,” Ji Fengyan said decisively. She didn’t forget the rare herbs that could be found all over the forest. Since her return, she had been longing to go back to harvest a bunch of them.
Ji Fengyan wanted to go to the Forest of Freedom again?
It stunned Linghe and Meng Fusheng. But since Ji Fengyan had ordered it, they had no choice but to comply.
Linghe had about over a dozen close comrades. These men had been with him right from the time when they had fought under Ji Fengyan’s father, Ji Yun. Thereafter, they had constantly watched over Ji Fengyan. However, this time, they were not prepared to follow her into the Forest of Freedom. Heavenly Courts had just been established and they were afraid that the residents would raise trouble. As a result, most of them stayed back and supervise the city. In the end, Linghe had to force Zuo Nuo to accompany Ji Fengyan into the Forest of Freedom.
On Meng Fusheng’s side, although he had always wanted to visit the Forest of Freedom, he didn’t go along in case anything happened in the battle between Zhai Xing Lou and Yan Luo Dian. Instead, he picked over 20 of his best men to accompany Ji Fengyan.
Ji Fengyan had the men prepare the horse carriages and brought Bai Ze, Xiao Tuanzi and Yang Jian along with her.
Xiao Tuanzi had refused to be left behind. Ji Fengyan had ditched it so many times that it had already developed a kind of indifference towards Xiao Tianquan’s and Ge Lang’s ferocity. Now, it even dared to climb onto Xiao Tianquan’s back and nibble on the wolf’s ears for fun.
Xiao Tianquan found it rather depressing...
As the Forest of Freedom held abundant spiritual energy and was good for cultivation, Ji Fengyan brought along Bai Ze so that it could absorb that energy there. After all, she had been personally grooming Bai Ze. Although it did not have an inner core like humans, it had already surpassed the level of a usual beast, and was rapidly ascending towards Ji Fengyan’s goal of it becoming an “immortal deer”.
As for Yang Jian...
Although they already had over 20 men for this transport mission, the strength of Yang Jian alone was more than all of them combined.
A bunch of people boarded the carriages and headed towards the Forest of Freedom under the cover of the night.
At the same time, Zhai Xing Lou had just received Yan Luo Dian’s declaration of war.
Gong Qiang was just sitting inside his room when his subordinate handed him that declaration. An eerie smile bloomed across his handsome features, after which he tossed that notice to the side. He looked at the pale-faced Gong Huiyu, who was standing beside him.
