Days later, a young man dressed as a scholar silently appeared in Beiyun City.
He wore a white cap, donned a blue shirt, and held an elegant folding fan. His complexion seed slightly pale, clearly the type worn out by indulgence and pleasure.
However, his eyes were exceptionally bright, clear as a spring, deep as the starry sky, creating a slight contrast with his current appearance.
This person was none other than Zhu Fei, who had used "Change of Day" to alter his appearance.
Since using a Breakthrough Talisman to escape from Wind Forest Valley a few days ago, he had faced a series of fierce pursuits.
He had encountered countless dangers, the most perilous being targeted by a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
If he hadn’t possessed the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire to burn away the Divine Sense mark that had been secretly placed on him at the most critical mont, he probably would’ve been reduced to dust by now.
Now, having the chance to change his appearance three tis with "Change of Day," he disguised himself in this way and returned to Beiyun City to check on the Yun siblings and to take the opportunity to bid them farewell.
Because he knew that nearly the entire Tianhua Domain was after him.
Especially in Xia State, the search for him, Zhu Fei, was most intense. If he didn’t figure out how to leave Xia State quickly, what awaited him would not be anything good.
At this mont, Zhu Fei had, according to his estimation, quietly arrived at the location of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
Because he knew, given the current situation in Xia State, the Yun siblings could not possibly stay at ho; they would definitely be placed within the sect by the Flowing Cloud Sect.
As soon as Zhu Fei arrived at the Flowing Cloud Sect, he imdiately noticed two Golden Core First Level cultivators secretly hiding in a certain room.
Zhu Fei was instantly taken aback.
Without asking, it was clear that these two Golden Core cultivators were not from the Flowing Cloud Sect.
They must be lying in wait here, probably hoping to catch him in a trap.
It seed that his connection with the Flowing Cloud Sect, and even with the Yun siblings, must’ve been discovered by soone.
Fortunately, they did not take their anger out on the Flowing Cloud Sect or the Yun siblings, which greatly relieved Zhu Fei.
Without alerting the two Golden Core cultivators, Zhu Fei quietly extended his Divine Sense and, before long, saw Yun Duo sitting alone in front of a window, lost in thought.
As for Yun Jian, he hadn’t found him at the mont.
Although Zhu Fei was sowhat puzzled about Yun Jian’s whereabouts, he didn’t dwell on it; he would naturally get the answers from Yun Duo after they t.
Like a fleeting shadow, the Level 2 Mountain Protection Array of the Flowing Cloud Sect appeared virtually non-existent before Zhu Fei, entirely ineffective.
In just a few breaths’ ti, Zhu Fei’s figure had silently arrived at the door of Yun Duo’s room.
With a casual wave of his hand, the door made no sound as it silently opened.
Zhu Fei quickly slipped inside and gently closed the door behind him.
"Ah! You... you...?"
Startled by the sudden intrusion of a stranger into her room, Yun Duo, who had been daydreaming, imdiately tensed up.
Her eyes filled with panic, she pointed at Zhu Fei with her jade finger, continuously retreating backward.
"Shh... Yun, it’s ."
Zhu Fei gestured to Yun Duo to be silent, then raised his hand to set several prohibition spells before he said with a wry smile, "Yun, it’s been several months. Don’t tell you no longer recognize ?"
"You... you’re Brother Zhu?"
Yun Duo blinked her beautiful eyes, and the initially frightened look in them gradually sparked with surprise.
But this emotion didn’t last long before her pretty face slightly changed, and her expression suddenly beca anxious.
"Brother Zhu... Brother Zhu, you must leave quickly! There... there are so many people looking for you, if you’re discovered by soone now, then... then you’ll really be in danger, go quickly!"
It was evident that Yun Duo’s concern for Zhu Fei ca from the heart, with not the slightest selfish motive involved, which made Zhu Fei feel a slight warmth in his heart.
"Hehe, don’t worry, I was very discreet when I ca over, and I shouldn’t be discovered by anyone."
Zhu Fei smiled and shook his head at Yun Duo as a reassurance, then he finally asked, "By the way, Yun, where is your brother? Why haven’t I seen him?"
As soon as Zhu Fei ntioned her brother, Yun Duo’s eyes imdiately reddened, and tears uncontrollably stread down "pitter-patter."
Seeing this, Zhu Fei felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
A dreadful premonition also suddenly surfaced in his mind.
"Yun, don’t panic, what exactly happened? Take your ti and explain."
Zhu Fei’s face had already turned sowhat ugly; he faintly sensed that whatever Yun Duo was about to tell him might not be good news.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Yun Duo, holding back her tears, finally recounted in detail the ordeal they had encountered.
After the incident with Xiahou Rui occurred, the Xiahou family imdiately found the Yun family and the Flowing Cloud Sect.
Without a word, they not only killed Yun Jian and Yun Mu on the spot for their connection with Zhu Fei, but many innocent people from the Flowing Cloud Sect as well couldn’t escape this calamity.
If it weren’t for the Taixuan Sect’s tily arrival, and their suggestion to the Xiahou family to spare Yun Duo as bait to lure Zhu Fei out, Yun Duo would probably have already t her demise by now.
Previously, she foolishly thought that the Xiahou family and their people hadn’t involved the Yun family and the Flowing Cloud Sect; she was truly naïve.
Zhu Fei’s teeth grated "click-click" in anger, the flas of fury nearly bursting from his chest.
His eyes were bloodshot, and a ferocious desire for vengeance surged within his chest as he coldly spat out a few words,
"The Xiahou family, I, Zhu Fei, swear not to rest until I have annihilated you, I, Zhu Fei, swear not to rest until I have annihilated you!"
"Brother Zhu... Brother Zhu."
Yun Duo had by then wiped away her tears and gently called out to Zhu Fei.
Although the loss of her brother and mother filled her with sorrow, Yun Duo didn’t resent Zhu Fei.
Because she knew it wasn’t his fault, nor could she bla him.
Yun Duo, although delicate by nature, was a very sensible girl; she had essentially learned the course of events from Liu Jian and knew that the crux of the matter lay entirely with the Xiahou family.
Moreover, without Zhu Fei, she, Yun Duo, might well have died under the jaws of the Red Wild Boar.
"I’m sorry, Yun, this matter has inadvertently involved your family."
Zhu Fei felt extrely guilty.
Although he could see that Yun Duo bore no grudge against him, as a person, Zhu Fei still found it hard to let go.
Now, the only thing that gave him solace was his decision to visit the Flowing Cloud Sect to survey the situation and not to leave Xia State imdiately.
Otherwise, if anything else had happened to Yun Duo, Zhu Fei would really regret it for the rest of his life.
