56 Chapter 56 – Entering deep into the Mountain

Zhu Xuan calmed himself down and his transformation slowly receded and his wounds also healed like last time and he realized that his blood also contained the power of healing.

He approached Ru Feng and questioned him with an icy tone "Why did you want to capture me so badly? If I'm not wrong there is no enmity between my father and Lei Shu Kingdom. Is it because you want to gain the support of the people from the central continent?"

Zhu Xuan also heard the conversation between Bai Wuji and Ru Feng and he also came to the same conclusion. He wanted to confirm the reason behind the movements of imperial army.

When he heard Zhu Xuan's question, Ru Feng started to laugh like a maniac with face full of anger "No enmity? Hahaha… How can there be no enmity between you and Lei Shu Kingdom. You father killed the Old king fifteen years ago and you are telling me there is no enmity?"

Both Zhu Xuan and Bai Wuji were shocked by the news.

Bai Wuji was also not sure and asked in confusion "That doesn't seem right. Didn't the Old King die of some unknown disease and that too a year later, which is a year after Silver Shadow disappeared? There was even a rumor that was actually a curse placed by evil sect's sect leader"

Ru Feng coughed blood and said in anger and sadness "It is what we told the outside world outside because we didn't want anyone to know the situation, but it was Silver Shadow who killed the old king.

I was there at that day. We all watched him kill the Old King in the palace, unable to do anything to stop him because he was too powerful. We watched him kill and burn the Old King to ashes and walk away like it was nothing."

His eyes become ferocious and said in madness and laughed "Don't think you can escape just because you defeated me. I already sent a message before we approached you. General Hong Dong Shen should already be on his way. Even if it is the end of the world, we will chase you and kill you."

Zhu Xuan didn't understand why his father would kill the Old king, he also remembered his aunt saying his father killed all the way from central continent to Qinglu city in three months. He wondered if he lost himself to the power inside and killed everyone on his away.

The situation became more complicated.

Bai Wuji also was shocked. He didn't expect such a thing happened fifteen years ago and it was covered up by the imperial family. Now he understood why Ru Feng said he committed highest treason against Lei Shu kingdom. He is also worried if he also caused disaster for the Bai clan.

When they both were thinking, they felt two auras approaching from the distance and they will be there in a matter of minutes.

Zhu Xuan immediately turns around and swung his sword, killing Ru Feng. He approached the fainted Zhu Shen Chen and killed him too and kept both bodies in his spatial ring.

Bai Wuji was momentarily shocked by the fact Zhu Xuan has a spatial ring, but immediately calmed down.

Zhu Xuan took out the bag that his aunt gave a while ago, and a scroll. He came in front of Bai Wuji and asked "Senior Wuji, I need your help. I need you to send someone you trust to meet my aunt and explain what happened here. Please give these resources to her and also ask her to not return to Zhu clan and leave immediately. I'm not sure what happened to the Zhu clan so if possible help my tenth sister too.

I will give you this pill recipe in exchange for your help, it is called realm breaking pill which you took just now. Though it has some side effects, it helps at a crucial time to increase your realm momentarily."

Bai Wuji had a complicated look; he also figured there must be a side effect since he felt his body meridians expand suddenly after taking the pill. He took the scroll from Zhu Xuan and kept it.

Bai Wuji still asked "Why don't I send you into the mountains? With my speed you can get away safely."

Zhu Xuan replied "Thank you for your concern Senior Wuji. But, you must return soon. I'm not sure whether the approaching people are friend or foe, you have to remove your aura from this place and leave immediately. Moreover, the pill's effect will only last for an hour and you will be bedridden for a month before you will be completely healed. I want you to arrange someone to meet up with my aunt, and also to save my tenth sister.

You don't have to worry about me. I have my ways to get away from them now that I know they will be coming after me."

Once he was finished, he was ready to leave.

Zhu Xuan can only do this much since he can't return anymore. Even though he was confident about his body transformation technique, he was still not sure if there is any method his enemies will use to track him down.

Bai Wuji sighed and said "Alright, take care of yourself Zhu Xuan. I hope I will be able to meet you again someday."

Zhu Xuan nodded and left fast suppressing his aura, moving deep into the forest. Bai Wuji also erased his entire aura in the battlefield and left the place.

While moving fast Zhu Xuan was thinking fast "It's better for me to go to Caifu city first rather than Tanxin city. It is on the other side of the Snowcape Demon Mountain, and it will take time for them to send more people to Caifu city or information about him to be passed down there. Moreover, there is a kingdom only two city away from Lei Shu kingdom and it will be easy for me to move to another kingdom if the situation is unfavorable for me."

After travelling for a while, he is already half way through the cave he stayed in Snowcape Demon Mountain. He released his aura fully, used his movement technique to the fullest and reached the cave. He left a cloth sack with some food and resources inside the cave and left the cave immediately completely suppressing his aura.

He wanted to throw off his enemies by releasing his aura using the cave and leaving some food and materials creating the illusion that he will be coming back to the cave.

He also knows he can't go around the Snowcape Demon Mountain to reach Caifu city. It will take too long to reach the city and also the cultivators who will be coming after him will be more powerful than Ru Feng and will be able to move faster than him. So his only way was to reach Caifu city to cross through the mountain instead of going around. Even though it is quite a risk to cross through the mountain, it is the only way he can make sure he will safely reach Caifu city.

After making his decision, he immediately moved fast and entered deep into the Snowcape Demon mountain.
