Volume 1 Chapter 165 Return to Miao Village

  The demon king happily went to organize his own people to prepare for the migration, Yang Feng looked at the demon king leaving and turned his gaze towards the Tianmo Gate's Ba Tian and Fengdu Ghost King. However, Yang Feng just looked at them without saying anything, but this was already enough to make them feel embarrassed.

  Ba Tian couldn't bear such an awkward scene, so he walked directly to Yang Feng's front and said, "Holy Master, what the Demon King said earlier was right. Our purpose in getting close to you is to borrow your identity as the true dragon son representing the human world's luck, allowing our sect to continue for a longer period. However, it's true that having the Shura Devil Eye makes you the Holy Master of our Tianmo Sect, and everyone in our sect will definitely treat you as the Holy Master."

  Yang Feng smiled slightly after hearing Ba Tian's words, then said to Ba Tian, "Hehe, you're being a bit too serious. I didn't mean to blame you guys. I don't care what your purpose is for pulling me in, nor do I need you to pay any price for it. Let's be friends like the Demon King. When you need help, just let me know and I'll come assist you naturally. And when I need help, just lend me a hand, that's all I ask. What do you think?"

  "Alright, let's do it as you said. We'll be friends and help each other!" Ba Tian first affirmed Yang Feng's statement. They respected Yang Feng as the Holy Master only because they wanted to pull him into their sect. However, the Tian Mo Sect also had a master, so respecting Yang Feng as the Holy Master wasn't entirely sincere on the part of all Tian Mo Sect disciples. Now that Yang Feng proposed this, it meant they didn't have to respect him as the Holy Master and could still establish a relationship with him, so they naturally agreed.

  Fengdu Ghost King also nodded in agreement, affirming Yang Feng's statement. Afterwards, things became much simpler, and after leaving their respective transmission jade symbols, the people of Tianmo Gate and Fengdu Ghost King's group left one after another. At this time, the Demon King had already organized his own clan members, and then led those clan members to follow Yang Feng to the Mortal Realm together.

  Yang Feng and the others returned to the mortal world from the Tianchi, but because the few hundred tribes left by the Demon King had just opened their spiritual wisdom and hadn't cultivated much yet, they couldn't control the air to fly. This caused trouble, and the Demon King looked at his own people, not knowing how to lead them to follow Yang Feng back to the Xijiang Miao Village.

  In the end, it was Bai Qi who helped him resolve this matter. It turned out that Bai Qi's sleeve technique could not only store inanimate objects, but also living things. With a flick of his sleeve, Bai Qi stored the hundreds of demons inside and then everyone flew back to the Xijiang Miao village together.

  Although the Changbai Mountain in the northeast of Huaxia is far from the Xijiang Miao Village, these people's speed is much faster than that of an airplane, so they didn't have much time before they returned to the Xijiang Miao Village. Along the way, Yang Tian separated from Yang Feng and headed back to the Tomb of the Living Dead on Mount Zhongnan, telling Yang Feng to visit him when he had time. Yang Feng and his group landed in the last direction of the village, then Yang Feng let Bai Qi release all the clansmen of the Demon King, letting the Demon King arrange for his own people. The Thirteen Blood Guards had long been hiding in secret to protect Yang Feng, while Yang Feng took Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo towards his maternal grandfather's residence.

  Yang Feng walked into his maternal grandfather's residence and entered the old man's room, where he saw his grandfather, Gui Zheng, still sitting in his bamboo chair, eyes narrowed, with a smile on his face as he watched Yang Feng enter the house, as if waiting for him. Behind Yang Feng, Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo immediately walked forward and knelt down in front of Gui Zheng, shouting "Gui Lao".

  "Zheng did not stop Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo's actions. Only after they knelt down did he open his narrowed eyes, then spoke up, 'Hm, get up! Have you finally escaped? You two have suffered!' "

  Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo were thrilled to hear Chi Zheng's words, they never thought that Chi Lao would say such things to them. To think back, when Chi Lao taught them their skills in the past, he was extremely strict, always with a cold face and no expression, and would never say anything caring, and if they didn't learn well, they would be beaten. But after so many years, they were actually able to hear such words, so they were both excited beyond control.

  Chi Zheng didn't care about the excitement of Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo, he looked at them standing up and then moving to one side, after that, his eyes turned to Yang Feng. Chi Zheng's gaze was fixed tightly on Yang Feng, it seemed like a long time had passed before he nodded in satisfaction, then stood up and walked towards the inner room.

  "Ah Feng, come with me." Chi Zheng said to Yang Feng as he walked inside.

  Yang Feng only snapped out of it when he heard Chi Zheng's words, his mind had gone blank the moment he saw Chi Zheng as soon as he entered the house. The reason was that even with his current Golden Elixir late-stage cultivation, he still couldn't see through his own grandfather's true strength. All he could sense with his spiritual awareness was a vague blur. Yang Feng still remembered when he first met his grandfather, at that time this slightly hunched, short and thin old man gave him the impression of having no cultivation whatsoever, just an ordinary old man who might know some Miao tribe's Gu sorcery at most. Yet now that he saw the old man again, he still couldn't see through his grandfather's cultivation!

  Moreover, seeing that Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo actually knew his grandfather, it meant that his grandfather had indeed lived for at least over twenty years, which was simply unthinkable! Yang Feng was deep in thought about these things, completely unaware of what was happening outside his body, until Chi Zheng called out to him. Only then did Yang Feng come back to himself and immediately followed in his grandfather's footsteps, heading towards the inner room. Meanwhile, Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo naturally stood guard outside the house.

  Yang Feng arrived at the inner house and saw that Chi Zheng had already opened the secret passage leading to the underground cave, then he took a step forward and walked in. Yang Feng followed behind Chi Zheng and also walked inside. Through the long corridor, they entered the bright underground cave, where Yang Feng first paid his respects to his ancestors with Chi You.

  After finishing the worship of Chi You, Chi Zheng turned to Yang Feng and said, "Hehe, I really didn't expect it. My grandson is actually a true dragon son recognized by the true dragon purple energy, and the Shura magic sleep that only our ancestor Chi You possessed has appeared on you. It's really worthy of being a descendant of the Chi family! Your mother's spirit in heaven will also be at peace now. I know you must have many questions, don't worry, you can ask slowly, I'll tell you everything!"

  Yang Feng looked up at his grandfather after listening to Chi Zheng's words, staring at him for a long time before finally asking, "Why?! Why are you so powerful, yet you didn't save my mother when she passed away?! Why?! Why didn't you save her? If you had saved her, my mother wouldn't have died!"

  Yang Feng stared at Chi Zheng, the tears he had sworn never to shed again flowed out, his eyes fixed on Chi Zheng, waiting for an answer.

  "Looking at Yang Feng who was crying, he let out a deep sigh and then said to Yang Feng, "Do you think I don't want to save your mother?! Do you think I'm willing to watch her die?! She's my only daughter, do you think I won't be heartbroken if she's gone?! I want to save her, but I don't have the ability, what can I do?! All I can do is watch as my precious daughter disappears before my eyes!"

  Chī Zhèng's excitement grew as he continued to speak, saying to Yang Fēng, "Now that things have come to this point, it's time you knew everything. I hope that once you know, you won't disappoint your mother's expectations."

  In the following time, Chi Zheng told Yang Feng many things, but Yang Feng was shocked by these shocking events, leaving him with a blank mind for a long time after hearing Chi Zheng's words.

  What shocked Yang Feng the most was that Chi Zheng was not a descendant of Chi You, as he had previously told Yang Feng, but rather Chi You's own son! In other words, Yang Feng's mother was only the third generation descendant of Chi You, while Yang Feng himself was merely the fourth generation descendant. This was also the reason why the Nine Li Holy Blood in Yang Feng's body was so pure!

  This thing was like a bomb exploding in Yang Feng's mind, suddenly making him dizzy. After that, Yang Feng was somewhat dazed and listened to Chi Zheng's words with unclear consciousness.

  Originally in the ancient times, Chi You led the Jiuli tribe to fight a great war against Huangdi, and after their final defeat, Chi Zheng, as the son of Chi You, led the remaining Jiuli people to escape from Huangdi's pursuit, moving the Jiuli tribe deep into the mountains and forests. They finally managed to preserve some of the Jiuli bloodline, while Yang Feng's mother was only one or two years old at that time.

  Although he retained the blood of the Jiuli tribe, Chi You couldn't help but avenge his father's death at the hands of Huangdi. So Chi You sought every opportunity to retaliate against Huangdi, but at that time, the human clan's fortune was flourishing, and everything Chi You planned failed.

  However, Chi Zheng did not give up. He carefully managed the blood of the Jiuli people, allowing the Xijiang Miao to slowly gain a foothold in the southwestern region of Huaxia. At the same time, he selected some talented individuals from among the human tribes for cultivation, hoping that they would seize power and allow him to manipulate from behind the scenes. Nevertheless, each time his plans were foiled by the interference of those who inherited the ancient Daoist traditions.

  One of the most infuriating things for Zhengze was that he had cultivated Bai Qi and Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng eventually took over the entire world. However, precisely because Ying Zheng was a disciple of Zhengze, he did not believe in the words of those Daoist disciples, which led to the Daoists joining forces against Ying Zheng, causing the Qin Empire to last only two generations before its downfall.

  After that, Chi Zheng continued to strive to seize control of Huaxia from the human race, but ultimately failed every time. After several thousand years, Chi Zheng had almost given up and no longer thought about these things, and began to live in seclusion in the Xijiang Miao Village.

  Yang Feng's mother had been living in the Xijiang Miao Village with Chi Zheng since she arrived, and she never left. Chi Zheng was very fond of Yang Feng's mother and kept her in the dark about his own affairs, only letting her live a happy life every day, which made him content. However, this also made Yang Feng's mother very naive, and eventually, she met Yang Feng's father by chance on one occasion, resulting in the birth of Yang Feng.

  The Jiuli tribe is a branch of the ancient witch tribe. Although the witch tribe was born very strong, it was difficult to continue their bloodline, especially for those who had the purest bloodline of the ancient great witch Chiyou, such as Yang Feng's mother. It was even more difficult for them to continue their bloodline. However, Yang Feng's mother insisted on giving birth to Yang Feng, which made Chi Zheng, who was already angry with Yang Feng's mother for combining with the human tribe, even angrier. As a result, he drove Yang Feng's mother out of the Miao village!

  However, Chi Zheng still drove Yang Feng's mother out of the Miao village, but he was very fond of Yang Feng's mother and always secretly observed her to prevent any danger. When he saw that Yang Feng's mother had given birth to Yang Feng safely, Chi Zheng was also delighted, but he still did not put down his dignity as the head of the Xijiang Miao village to bring back Yang Feng's mother and Yang Feng.

  It was precisely because of this that Chi Zheng did not discover that Yang Feng's mother had cultivated the Golden Silkworm Mother to leave something to protect her son, which made her even weaker due to the loss of a large amount of Jiuli Holy Blood when she gave birth to Yang Feng. By the time Chi Zheng found out about these things, it was already too late, and Yang Feng's mother could no longer be saved.
