Chapter 925: Apprehensions!

There was no other reason; the moment the Return of Spring Technique was used, the user’s life would be greatly exhausted regardless whether the injured was saved or not! He may even die from using up all of his life force!

Cao Guo Feng smiled and said, “This old man has already lived for one thousand years, but I have not lived enough. Yet, I definitely cannot watch a prodigy get destroyed like this before my eyes! The three Holy Lands can be full of jealousy and kill for precaution, but this old man will never ever do something like that! Being greedy for life does not mean that I fear death!”

After saying this, he grabbed the wrist of the boy and began to transfer all of the Xuan Qi into him, continuously, with no reservations...

This youngster who was close to death with the ‘Free and Natural Physique’ was naturally Young Master Jun. Right now, Young Master Jun was feeling extremely conflicted. Cao Guo Feng’s wholehearted care and concern had caused Jun Mo Xie to feel guilty.

Because Cao Guo Feng was sincerely thinking for Young Master Jun’s life, but Jun Mo Xie was lying to him. Although Cao Guo Feng’s ultimate goal was for the Misty Illusory Manor, but Jun Mo Xie still felt that his own behavior was a little despicable.

At the same time Cao Guo Feng used the Return of Spring Skill, Jun Mo Xie distinctly felt the life force in Cao Guo Feng’s body decreasing rapidly. He sighed internally and secretly activated the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune and transferred the life force back to Cao Guo Feng through a unique air circulation.

First, he forced it into the air, controlling it using the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune and seeping it into Cao Guo Feng’s body. Although it was slower, much slower than Cao Guo Feng’s output, but its advantage was that it was consistent and hard to be detected.

And the life energy that was processed by the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune was stronger. So Cao Guo Feng who had used the tabooed skill no matter what the consequences were had instead gained an advantage, prolonging his longevity.

Jun Mo Xie also felt a little more at ease. At least in this way, I’ve made it up to you and didn’t make you lose everything...

As to whether we’ll be friends or foes in the future, only time will tell. I’ll do my best not to cause you harm! Jun Mo Xie shut his eyes and said mentally.

For the sake of Dugu Xiao Yi and Guan Qing Han, I really have no other choice.

Because if I requested for it directly, you will absolutely not give it to me. What I need is not a small quantity...

Please allow me to be selfish once!

I’m sorry!

Jun Mo Xie had always been very self centered. He had committed countless things selfishly. But only this time, he was really moved by how Cao Guo Feng used his own life force to sustain his life with no hesitation.

Jun Mo Xie would not feel any guilt if he killed Cao Guo Feng in a face to face battle. Even if Cao Guo Feng was a Saint, he would also... not give way. If he was really injured, then it was still reasonable, but right now... he was not injured at all...

The human’s conscience is truly a magical thing. To think that a cold-blooded person like me could also develop such complicated emotions... Jun Mo Xie laughed bitterly.

Bai Qi Feng couldn’t help but frown at the sight Cao Guo Feng ceaselessly transferring his Xuan Qi. “Big Brother, I’m afraid that this matter requires greater considerations. This ideal successor with the Free and Natural Physique is indeed difficult to come by, but right now, is it really worth it for us to take such a big risk for him when he is in this state?! Since the enemy is able to leave him half dead and deliver him back to us, there may be a bigger plot behind this! What if the person just now already destroyed the sensibility of this child? Even if we save him back physically with the Manor’s treasure, we may not be able to salvage his mind! If we saved an idiot, so what if he has the Free and Natural Physique?! This is an important thing that we cannot neglect!”

Young Master Jun who was feigning his severe injuries cursed mentally. F*ck you, you’re the idiot! Your whole family is full of idiots! When this Young Master Jun shows his skills, I’ll definitely turn you into an idiot! How dare you insult this young master!

Cao Guo Feng smiled and shook his head without saying a word.

“Big Brother, even putting aside what I said earlier, all of us will use large amounts of Xuan Qi to sustain this child’s life... if an enemy ambushes us, not only will this child die, even the seven of us will... also have the possibility of dying on the journey. Aren’t the stakes a little big here?” Bai Qi Feng began to turn anxious seeing how he couldn’t convince Cao Guo Feng.

There was really too many suspicious things about this matter. Bai Qi Feng couldn’t help but think hypothetically. The Free and Natural Physique had been rare to find since ancient times. But the enemy was willing to destroy it in such a mangled state and return it... Why would he do that if he didn’t have any plots?

If this was a trap... then the consequences were really severe!

“You are not wrong at all.” Cao Guo Feng finally slowly opened his mouth to speak. “Everything before us is obviously a trap! I had already figured this out just now, but this is a trap that we have no choice but to walk into! Even if we know that there is a high chance that we won’t walk out of it alive, we must still walk into it!”

“Since the thousands of years Misty Illusory Manor has been built, we have been full of talents and countless prodigal cultivators. But one that has the Free and Natural Physique is completely unheard of. This has led to a huge restriction in the development of the Misty Illusory Manor... especially when the Evil Monarch Jun Mo Xie has coincidentally emerged in the outside world! Qi Feng, amongst us, we can’t conceal the fact that we are old; how much hope is there for us? But the Misty Illusory Manor must remain, and it must be an existence that lasts throughout all the ages!”

Bai Qi Feng had wanted to try and convince him, but he couldn’t say it out loud. He only sighed and lowered his head.

“This youth before us is the hope of the Misty Illusory Manor! The terrifying potential of the Free and Natural Physique; there is nothing comparable to it. I believe that this child must have had special encounters that allowed him to retain his Free and Natural Physique, which would disappear in his early childhood without a master! And he even developed a strong foundation of Xuan Qi! What does all this represent? You and I are aware of it. The future development of this youth with great luck is definitely unlimited! He may not be inferior to that Jun Mo Xie!”

Cao Guo Feng once again increased the speed of the Xuan Qi he was channeling in. “Now at this moment, when the internal is troubled and there is an external threat, we have gotten this miraculous opportunity again. How could we abandon it? Even if the seven of us are to perish here, we must not give up on it! Even if there is the slightest chance, we must bring this youth with the Free and Natural Physique safely back to the Misty Illusory Manor! We must take the risk this time!

“If we abandoned this youth for our own safety today, and the Misty Illusory Manor comes with any mishap in the future and is wiped out, then everything will be due to us! We are the sinners who caused the Misty Illusory Manor to be annihilated!” Cao Guo Feng said heavily.

“Big Brother always takes into account the greater picture and thinks and considers greatly at length. You are right, I was not considerate enough earlier.” A look of embarrassment flashed across Bai Qi Feng’s face. “It can be said that I owe the Misty Illusory Manor a great debt of gratitude. Since we’ve come to this point, then even if it means staking my life on it, I must safely bring this child back!”

All five of them had a solemn look on their faces, and they nodded their heads resolutely!

Cao Guo Feng laughed, feeling heartened. “Since that’s the case, let’s hurry up and set off! My skills are slightly stronger, so let me be the one to sustain for the first part of this journey until I’m exhausted. Then, you guys take turns and go about it according to the way I did it. Absolutely must not let him feel any sudden movements in case of further complications!”

Bai Qi Feng responded and rushed ahead of Cao Guo Feng. “I’ll open the path.” He rushed off.

Cao Guo Feng carried the ‘severely injured’ body of Young Master Jun and followed closely behind Bai Qi Feng. The other five formed a circle around Cao Guo Feng. The seven of them formed a secure formation and dashed off at high speed!

The seven people bolted forward like lightning. Although they were in a dense forest, there was not a single sound made! These Saint Emperor experts did not get their reputation for nothing.

Right now, these seven experts were behaving as if they were about to meet a huge enemy. All of them spread their spiritual sense far and wide.

They were already about to exit the mountains, but that scary opponent still made no move.

If there was something unusual, there must be something wrong. These seven people did not lower their guard; instead, they became even more alert!

Since the enemy has already set up this trap, how could he let us escape away so easily?

All seven of them had the same thought.

After traveling for quite a distance, Cao Guo Feng noticed something odd about his own body. My Xuan Qi is indeed more superior than the rest, but I had just greatly exhausted my strength in using the Return of Spring Skill. Technically, my body should be weaker than usual, but right now, there is nothing unusual about my body. Furthermore, I don’t seem to be showing signs of fatigue when I’ve released so much of my Xuan Qi.

This usual situation caused Cao Guo Feng to feel extremely elated. Could it be that my sudden explosion of moral character, exhausting my own lifespan to use a tabooed skill, is able to allow myself to return back to my best state? This is truly bizarre!

But no matter what, this situation that had appeared was still a good thing! As long as he retained his own strength, there might not be big danger even if they met with an enemy! As long as he maintained it until they returned to the Misty Illusory Manor, it was absolutely worth it, even if it costed him his life!
