Chapter 838: The Dark Blood Sunset

Sigma_ SSins

"I鈥檓 old, and my realm is low. I just want to live and wait peacefully for my man to come back. I don鈥檛 want to get involved in unnecessary troubles," said Fei Lan faintly.

"Okay, I鈥檓 sorry for bothering you." Shi Yan took a deep breath then urged the energy in his body, trying to use the mark on his God Soul to connect to the big shield.

A blood-red light arose in his Sea of Consciousness. At the same time, the big shield also radiated a blood-red halo. In the next moment, it resized into its pocket version. The blood mark on it disappeared. The shield was now just a normal item.

Shi Yan picked up the small shield silently. This time, it was as light as a feather. He carefully placed it back on the pile of the miscellaneous items. He turned to Fei Lan and bowed to thank her before turning around and walking away.

Fei Lan stooped and didn鈥檛 care about him as if she had already dozed off.

Getting out of the shop, Shi Yan frowned while standing on the empty street. He turned around and looked at the shop again and sighed, shaking his head before leaving.

After several steps, he saw a graceful figure covered entirely. Even the face was in black garments. This person was walking towards him.

The person in black also saw him. The gentle body paused for a while before crossing him and walking towards Fei Lan鈥檚 shop.

Shi Yan was surprised. He turned around to look at that figure in black. He frowned as he felt that something was familiar about that person. However, as he couldn鈥檛 see that person鈥檚 face or realm, he didn鈥檛 assume much and just headed to Ka Fu鈥檚 shop.

After Shi Yan had left, the one in black also stopped, turning around and looking at the direction he had disappeared in as though this person was trying to be sneaky.

Shortly after, that person in black continued her trip to Fei Lan鈥檚 shop.

As Fei Lan was closing her eyes resting, she was shaken all of a sudden. Her misty eyes brightened for the first time.

After the one in black entered the shop, the thick stone door closed inaudibly. The entire shop fell into a lightless and gloomy ambiance. This person didn鈥檛 seem to like the light.

This person pulled her black veil off her head, revealing her frightful appearance. Her dark green eyes looked at Fei Lan, talking in a soft tone. "Auntie, you鈥檝e just met him?"

She was the leader of the five feudal vassals of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation. She was the regimental commander of the Bloody Legion, Madame Leona.

Fei Lan sat behind her counter, her face unchanged. She nodded and said, "Yes. This is the second time."

Leona鈥檚 eyes brightened. "Auntie, then... have you told him yet?"

"Told him?" Fei Lan鈥檚 face was mocking. "Why do I have to tell him? What does it matter to me?"

Leona frowned, looking at the broken ground inside the shop and the small shield atop the pile of miscellaneous items. "That shield belongs to him. You should give it to him."

"Why should I give it to him?" Fei Lan gave a light snort.

"This is what uncle asked you to do. It was his wish," said Leona in a heavy tone.

"It鈥檚 your Dark Blood Sunset Family鈥檚 mission. It鈥檚 not my mission. I have nothing to do with it!" Fei Lan put on a cold visage. "When that devil gave me this that year, he didn鈥檛 say that I had to fulfill the mission of your Dark Blood Sunset. He hasn鈥檛 married me. I鈥檓 not a woman of the Dark Blood Sunset鈥檚 family. So that kid and I are not related. And as for you, your family has only you now. That devil has disappeared for several thousand years. Your father and the others are gone. Do you still want to keep that vow?"

"As long as one of our Dark Blood Sunset family鈥檚 members is still alive, the vow is still there. I will never forget it," said Leona with a stern visage. "Uncle couldn鈥檛 marry you because he didn鈥檛 return alive. If he was able to return, he would have surely married you! You are a member of the Dark Blood Sunset family no matter how hard you try to deny it. I call you auntie and you have never objected to it. It means that you accepted it. If you did accept it, you should follow the vow of the Dark Blood Sunset. You should return to Shi Yan what belongs to him."

Fei Lan was silent. After a long moment, she sighed weakly. "Even if I give it to him now, he won鈥檛 be able to use it. His realm is still too low."

The scar on Leona鈥檚 cheek twitched as if she was smiling. "I know that auntie won鈥檛 just stand and stare. Otherwise, you wouldn鈥檛 have helped him and you would have let Fan Ye die."

Recently, Feng Ke and Russell tried their best to find Fan Ye. They had almost turned the Heaven Punishment City and Land of God Punishment upside down. Still, they couldn鈥檛 find Fan Ye. No one knew that of the Fan family, the strongest family in the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce, the Original God Realm expert was killed...

"It has nothing to do with him. I hate the Fan family. Fan Ye appeared near me. Well, he wanted to die so I had to fulfill his wish," snorted Fei Lan.

"Haha, auntie, you don鈥檛 need to be so obstinate. If you didn鈥檛 want to follow his wish, you wouldn鈥檛 have tried to protect the Heaven Punishment City. My Uncle had established this city. You aren鈥檛 allowing anyone to destroy it because you know that if my uncle was still alive, he wouldn鈥檛 want to see the Heaven Punishment City destroyed by the hands of the bandits," smiled Leona.

"I鈥檝e lived in this place long enough not to want to move anymore," Fei Lan pouted her lips, talking neither angrily nor indifferently.

"Forget it. It鈥檚 okay if you don鈥檛 want to admit it. I鈥檓 here to ask for your help... The star map appeared. Shi Yan brought it out of the Purgatory Star. As soon as he arrived, he met you twice. It鈥檚 destined. You can鈥檛 escape your fate. The Imperial Masters of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation were all the ancestors of the Dark Blood Sunset family. My Big Uncle disappeared while trying to find where the star map leads to. Don鈥檛 you want to see what鈥檚 there? Perhaps, you can find Uncle鈥檚 body," pausing for a moment, Leona added, "if he did die there."

"You mean that devil hasn鈥檛 died yet?!" Fei Lan was shocked.

"Nobody has ever seen his skeleton. With his realm and competence, even if you see his corpse, it doesn鈥檛 mean that he vanished," said Leona faintly.

"If he hasn鈥檛 died yet, why didn鈥檛 he come to me? It鈥檚 been several thousand years already! Oh, this bastard. If he isn鈥檛 dead and he didn鈥檛 show his face, I will not let him live at ease!" Fei Lan鈥檚 eyes sparkled with brutal light.

"I guess he is reluctant for some reason. Maybe he鈥檚 confined somewhere, waiting for us to unchain him," Leona just smiled.

"You got a silver-tongue, girl. People from your Dark Blood Sunset family are all lunatics and swindlers. I don鈥檛 believe you," snorted Fei Lan.

"It鈥檚 alright. You can believe what you want. Before that kid leaves, I will stay in the Heaven Punishment City. When you make up your mind, auntie, you come see me. With your powers, I think that no one could hide the person you want to see in the Land of God Punishment," said Leona indifferently. She faded into the dark then vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of aura.

Fei Lan fell into silence. She frowned, but no one knows what she鈥檚 thinking.

-------------------------

Shi Yan went to Ka Fu鈥檚 shop.

Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo was there.

"Brother, you鈥檙e back." Ka Tuo laughed. "Brother, you鈥檙e a genius. Black Horn was no match for you. I鈥檓 totally convinced now. After this battle, you鈥檙e no longer some anonymous junior. Everyone in Heaven Punishment City is talking about your title and stories."

"Oh yes, you鈥檙e dangerous. No wonder my big brother admires you a lot. I finally got it," Ka Fu also added.

"How are Bao Ao and the other two?"

"Good. Their powers are about to be restored fully. They are all feeling well. After their time of suffering, their realms seem to be progressing very quickly. I can tell that they will break through the new realm soon," Ka Tuo complimented honestly.

When Bao Ao, Jie Ji, and Bo Ruo were brought to him, they were so weak. After using pellets and divine crystals, their energies were restored quickly. Their realms were also enhanced. They were in the soul transformation process as they had to calm down and learn the essence of their powers.

Ka Tuo had a good intuition. He knew that those three people鈥檚 innate endowment was more than amazing. If they had enough time, they could break through the new realm shortly.

Even if they had to stay in the Grace Mainland where the energy had been drained, they could still easily become the top characters. Since they arrived in the Raging Flame Star Area with sufficient energy supplies, their talents started to shine like someone who cleaned up the dust covering the pearls.

"Where are they?" asked Shi Yan.

"They are moved to my lair, a forbidden place outside of the Land of God Punishment. They鈥檙e safe. The Heaven Punishment City is dangerous these days. They couldn鈥檛 stay there for a long period. Don鈥檛 worry. I will ask my people to take care of them." Ka Tuo pounded his chest affirmatively.

As Shi Yan had exchanged the star map for the other three鈥檚 lives, they knew how deep the relationship was between them.

Ka Tuo took Bao Ao鈥檚 team away. He wanted to do Shi Yan a favor. On the other hand, he wanted something to depend on to negotiate with Shi Yan. If Shi Yan wanted to deal with Ka Tuo, the people he kept as a safeguard would keep Shi Yan from acting recklessly. Although this made Ka Tuo look generous, his plan was close-knitted.

"Your people?" Shi Yan鈥檚 face was cold. "Your men aren鈥檛 all loyal to you. Last time, one of your men almost killed me!"

Listening to him, Ka Tuo was embarrassed. "No, no. That won鈥檛 happen this time. You don鈥檛 need to worry. Why did you leave? It鈥檚 good to stay at Feng Ke鈥檚. This place of mine isn鈥檛 safe. If Barrette wanted to kill you, I wouldn鈥檛 be able to help."

"What do you know about Fei Lan?" asked Shi Yan all of a sudden.

"Fei Lan?" Ka Tuo frowned as he didn鈥檛 know this person.

"The owner of the oldest shop in the Heaven Punishment City. Da-ge, you don鈥檛 often stay in the Heaven Punishment City, so you don鈥檛 know her." Ka Fu smiled and explained. "I鈥檝e heard that Fei Lan has been staying in the Land of God Punishment even before the Heaven Punishment City was established. Her realm isn鈥檛 high and she鈥檚 a little bit freaky, too. She doesn鈥檛 talk to people much. Not many people know her. I don鈥檛 either."

"Ka Fu, please deliver ten thousand top-quality divine crystals to Fei Lan鈥檚 shop for me," Shi Yan pondered for a while then asked.

"Ten thousand crystals!" Ka Fu screamed, "Even if I have spent ten years, I wouldn鈥檛 have earned that much!"

"Do as you鈥檙e told. Why are you babbling there?" Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo rolled his eyes, yelling at his brother.

Ka Fu retracted his neck, nodded begrudgingly. His face looked like he was attending a funeral. He felt so painful, going to Fei Lan鈥檚 shop to give her free divine crystals.

"Why?" Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo asked carefully after his brother had left.

"She鈥檚 one of us," Shi Yan answer deliberately.
