"Heh..."
Ye Gui Feng smiles in a dark manner. He didn't know if his speculations are correct but he is positive that he had guessed most of it correctly.
"Am I supposed to be thanking that accursed emperor for what he's done?"
By not allowing demons to go pass the Transcendence realm Long Feng Zi has effectively made it so that the residence of the Primordial Continent wouldn't see any worth in killing modern demons the next time they descend upon this world.
With Long Feng Zi directing his powers on the suppression of demons Ye Gui Feng felt like he must be scheming something in the background. Considering the strength of the person nothing they do can be so simplistic.
Being trapped in the web of a spider like this has Ye Gui Feng feeling an extreme sense of discomfort as he understood more of how Yongheng Zi must have felt when being schemed against by Li Jiu Tian.
Similar to Yongheng Zi Ye Gui Feng knew that he cannot possibly hope to fight back against the scheme of Long Feng Zi with his current strength so he can only choose to endure.
"..."
As the Authority of Howling Storms give off a bright radiance of gray light Ye Gui Feng and the phantom figure behind him waves their right hands causing a mind-numbing amount of ashen gray winds to surround Ning Xu Yan!
[...!]
The abruptness of the situation causes Ning Xu Yan to widen his left eye!
"Give me a good reason as to why I shouldn't just exterminate you right now."
With his entire body overflowing with demonic Qi Ye Gui Feng's aura erupts in an explosive manner causing him to look more and more like an Exalted Celestial in the eyes of Ning Xu Yan!
The type of Exalted Celestial that Ye Gui Feng reminds Ning Xu Yan of doesn't come from the current era instead he is reminded of the tales of the Exalted Celestials that had existed during Li Jiu Tian's era!
Those Exalted Celestials are said to have been capable of causing the very heavens to wail during their fit of rage and considering how Ye Gui Feng is the ruler of this self-made heaven Ning Xu Yan felt as if the entirety of the world around him is closing in to crush his very existence into dust!
[Y-Your majesty I may have part-taken in a few harvests in the past but I wouldn't dare to do something like that again! When the time comes in which they choose to invade I'm willing to defend your clansmen! All that this old slave asks is for your majesty to assist me in killing someone!]
As a part of his spiritual body begins to turn into ice with Ye Gui Feng and the phantom figure clenching their right hands into fists Ning Xu Yan quickly spews these words out of his mouth.
"..."
Narrowing his eyes Ye Gui Feng and the phantom figure tightens their grips causing the intensity of the ashen gray winds to increase.
As more of his body is turned into ice Ning Xu Yan grits his teeth and spews out a droplet of his spirit blood to Ye Gui Feng.
[This is my spirit blood! If you swallow it and ignite it your cultivation base will temporarily increase!]
The moment this droplet of spirit blood emerges out of Ning Xu Yan's mouth his body turns noticeably more transparent.
"..."
Receiving the spirit blood Ye Gui Feng and the phantom figure behind him opens their right hands causing the ashen gray gales to dissipate.
"..."
Looking at the crimson spirit blood that is giving off a scorching air of heat Ye Gui Feng stores it into the Sha Luo Blood Sword.
"Who do you want to kill?"
Panting for air after having narrowly escaped from the clutches of death Ning Xu Yan says-
[Fen Xian Jie!]
"..."
The name Fen Xian Jie is one that Ye Gui Feng is both familiar with and foreign to at the same time. It is the name of the Sacred Phoenix Emperor.
"That old ghost is still alive?"
[He serves under Su Dao Zhong as one of his main generals!]
"..."
Ye Gui Feng has nothing against Fen Xian Jie but he also doesn't have anything to feel grateful towards him for either.
However, Fen Xian Jie is never the less the one who had become the true ruler of flames meaning his strength is definitely beyond the scopes of what Ye Gui Feng can hope to contend against at this time.
With how much time has passed from the memories of Ning Xu Yan it's possible that Fen Xian Jie had already become an Exalted Celestial with his strength.
"..."
Looking towards Ning Xu Yan Ye Gui Feng speaks with a calm expression on his face.
"I cannot promise you that I can kill him. But if I get a chance to do so you have my words on the matter."
[That's more than enough.]
Ye Gui Feng won't bother to ask Ning Xu Yan what his story is but from what he did know most if not all of the fire dragons, Ning Xu Yan's clansmen had been wiped away during his battle against Fen Xian Jie over the throne of the fire ruler.
That's all that Ye Gui Feng needed to know as to why Ning Xu Yan wanted Fen Xian Jie dead and the reason as to why Ye Gui Feng didn't think that Ning Xu Yan would betray him when all is said and done.
"..."
As the phantom figure and the Authority Crests behind his back vanishes a feeling of great irritation arises within Ye Gui Feng's heart at everything that he had just learned.
"*Sigh*"
As Ye Gui Feng raises a heavy sigh a soft white light comes out of the sword shaped tattoo and the figure of Bai Yuechu manifests by his side with a light smile.
"Would you like to listen to a tune so as to take your mind off those thoughts?"
Towards Bai Yuechu's suggestion Ye Gui Feng smiles.
"I suppose that would help."
Descending onto the ground Ye Gui Feng has the Dao Road return back to its original position.
Seeing as how everything had been returned back to normal the animals within the self-made heaven relaxes. But within their hearts they felt even more respects towards Ye Gui Feng's strength as the moment they arrived into this world they can tell that the sun of this world is far from ordinary.
Inwardly heaving a heavy sigh Ning Xu Yan relaxes as he closes his left eye. Being forced to spew out a droplet of his spirit blood has caused him to weaken significantly but with time he can recover.
Waving a hand the Seven Echoes appear in front of Ye Gui Feng and floats off of the ground at a perfect level of elevation.
The figure of Ming Xiao Luo appears off to the side as she looks to the zither with eyes of curiosity.
But just as Ye Gui Feng is thinking that Bai Yuechu would be the one playing-
"I suppose this will be your first lesson then."
"...Weren't you supposed to be playing?"
"As if I can touch the instrument."
Giving a demonstration by having his hand go right pass the instrument Bai Yuechu puts on a bitter look.
"What kind of relationship did you have with Ming Yue Yao? It feels like you weren't just the weapon spirit of her instrument."
"If you can play this tune I'll tell you."
Ye Gui Feng chuckles. It's been a while since he had last felt like a student in front of a teacher. This feeling isn't so bad when one gets away from it for long enough.
Recalling the image of how tragic Shui Yue Shuang had been in front of Ming Yue Yao's Dao of Music causes Ye Gui Feng to feel a lot more motivated to learn.
"First let's start with the basics."
Considering how this is Ye Gui Feng's first time ever touching a zither Bai Yuechu explains the basics to him by first showing him the four kinds of techniques that is generally used with Ming Xiao Luo looking on in fascination.
