Chapter 457 - When Will the Thousand-year Grudge End?

The woman quietly walked to Xiao Chen’s side. Xiao Chen looked at the people nearby and lowered his voice. He whispered, “Sister Su, when did you come?”

This woman was Su Xiaomei. Xiao Chen thought she was in the Frigid Jade Pendant and did not expect her to be in the crowd all this time.

Su Xiaomei whispered, “I was afraid of attracting attention, so I separated from Brother Ning when I came here.” At last, she sighed deeply, and her face was clouded with sorrow. She wanted to say something more, but she looked up at Xiao Ning, who was standing on the top of the mountain looking at Gu Feng. Finally, she sighed and said nothing.

Xiao Chen knew why she sighed and did not ask more questions. He looked up at the top of the mountain and saw that Xiao Ning and Gu Feng’s aura was getting stronger and stronger. He could not help but be more worried. He asked, “By the way, Sister Su, did Big Brother Xiao Ning tell you what happened a thousand years ago?”

On that night, he did not ask about the incident in detail, but he felt that something was wrong. According to his previous speculation, Xiao Ning and Gu Feng were likely to be tricked by others a thousand years ago. Moreover, it was not as simple as Ye Yuexuan trying to stop Xiao Ning from going to the Human World. Maybe even Ye Yuexuan had fallen into this trap and thought that she had taken advantage of Gu Feng.

Su Xiaomei sighed and frowned slightly. She said, “Brother Ning told me everything. There’s no need to mention what happened between him and Gu Feng before. We can just begin from that duel. Gu Feng made a deal with Brother Ning to have a final duel here. Brother Ning agreed as well. However, when they were in the midst of the duel where both of them were exhausted, the Immortals’ League and the other ancient sects suddenly arrived…”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen frowned. “Will the history repeat itself today?” Su Xiaomei also sighed, and her voice suddenly became a little bitter. “I persuaded Brother Ning that year, but he didn’t listen. This time I persuaded him, he still didn’t listen…” In the end, her eyes gradually became moist.

Xiao Chen stroked her back gently, trying to tell her to not be sad. There must be an end to some things between the men, but hatefully, those villains hiding in the dark were the last winner.

Su Xiaomei continued, “Several homicides were committed by Gu Feng earlier. The Immortals’ League came to capture Gu Feng. The battle between Gu Feng and Brother Ning had caused him a great loss of power. In any case, he could not beat the Immortals’ League and several ancient sect masters. With Gu Feng’s straightforward nature, he naturally believed that Brother Ning had notified several major factions to ambush here, but why would Brother Ning do such things?”

Xiao Chen nodded. If Xiao Ning did such a despicable thing, he would be calling him a big brother in vain. Su Xiaomei’s voice was a little bitter. She continued, “With Brother Ning’s temper at that time, the Immortals’ League couldn’t take Gu Feng away. So he did his best and helped Gu Feng out of trouble. However, Gu Feng’s head was seriously injured by the masters of the major sects and he became crazier. He was sure that it was Brother Ning who tricked him.”

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. “That’s who Xiao Ning is, someone who attached great importance to friendship and morals.” He asked, “What happened next?”

“Later, Brother Ning dragged the masters of the Immortals’ League and the other sects. Gu Feng succeeded in escaping but became crazy. Later, the Immortals’ League used this as a reason and said that Brother Ning colluded with Gu Feng and killed the people of the other sects.”

Xiao Chen pinched his fingers and said bitterly, “This Immortals’ League does not display any fairness and is despicable. Obviously, Ye Yuexuan wanted to frame Big Brother Xiao Ning. She knew that with his temper, he would definitely help Gu Feng escape, so she set up such a trap.”

Su Xiaomei sighed and said, “Later, Brother Ning went to the Human World to complete the task entrusted by your master. I didn’t know that the Xiao Family had kicked him out of the family because of this matter. At that time, Brother Ning was talented and skilled in Martial Arts, so many people in the Xiao Family were jealous of him. Besides, he insisted on staying with me, which aroused the opposition of the people in the family. Sigh…”

“Brother Ning took people to the Human World and found a place to establish the Xiao Family in the Human World. Unexpectedly, Gu Feng followed him to the Human World. That time, they had a fierce battle. Gu Feng had become crazy and wanted to kill all the people of the Xiao Family in the Human World. Brother Ning had no choice but to use the Blood Oath to seal Gu Feng and think about how to release him in the future. Unexpectedly, a thousand years passed.”

“Because when Brother Ning returned to the Violet Manor, he was planning to come to me and then from then on to care nothing about the world and live like a nomad in the grassland. However, he was besieged by the Immortals’ League and several major sects. In order to seal Gu Feng earlier, Brother Ning’s strength had been greatly damaged. How could he be their opponent? In the end, he was also sneak attacked by Ye Yuexuan…”

The more she talked about it, the more bitter Su Xiaomei’s voice became. Xiao Chen clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles creaked. He remembered about that time when he fought a bloody battle against Tianyuan City. Presumably, Xiao Ning’s situation was similar to his.

These upright and hypocritical men full of benevolence and morality were really detestable. If it was not for them, Xiao Ning would not have been separated from Su Xiaomei for a thousand years. Gu Feng would not have been sealed for a thousand years and created this one-thousand-year grudge.

The more he thought about it, the angrier Xiao Chen felt. He suddenly thought of Ye Yuexuan’s sneak attack on Xiao Ning. “At that time, was their relationship like what he has with Xiaoyue now?” It seemed that he must be careful with Xiaoyue in the future.

Su Xiaomei sobbed and said, “I tried to persuade Brother Ning a few days ago. I said that Gu Feng is now sober. You go and tell him the whole story and solve the misunderstanding. But Brother Ning told me that he sealed Gu Feng for millennia, and this is what he owed Gu Feng.”

“Is that so…”

Xiao Chen clenched his fingers. In this way, it seemed that his big brother was really some with a real personality. Suddenly, he thought of something and exclaimed, “Oh no!”

“Boom!” Just as his words fell, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the mountain, the snow shook and flew. Everyone watching was suffocated, and even more, they were almost lifted by this force and fell into the cliffs.

The 12 people of Levitating Dark Fragrance immediately flashed to the front of him and Su Xiaomei and joined forces to support the Barrier to resisted this overwhelming force.

In the sky above the summit, Xiao Ning and Gu Feng were standing in the air. Xiao Ning’s body was ignited with green flames, while Gu Feng’s body was full of black devil flames. The two bodies moved and rushed towards each other. There was a loud bang as if the sky was falling apart. The five main peaks shook, and everyone was shocked and dizzy. Fortunately, the two were now fighting at a high altitude. If it was before, many people would be shocked to extermination.

At this moment, everyone looked at each other in shock. This was a really unprecedented battle. These two people definitely had the strength of a Rogue Immortal!

Xiao Chen started to cold sweat on his back. Others might not have noticed it, but he felt it vaguely. Gu Feng was getting fiercer with every slash and his morale was getting higher, but Xiao Ning was barely supporting it! And he could not display it! He could not let Gu Feng see that he was barely hanging on, and he could not let Gu Feng feel that he was taking advantage!

The strength of the two before was almost the same, but in the final analysis, Gu Feng had been out of the seal for more than two years, and his skill had been restored, but Xiao Ning had been out of his seal for only one month. “How can his skill be restored in a snap?”

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Xiao Chen felt. “Big Brother Xiao Ning knew that he couldn’t defeat Gu Feng today, but it was a life-and-death battle. But he still wanted to come. Did he do it to apologize to Gu Feng? Was he going to…”

With his temperament, it was not impossible. Thinking of this, something suddenly hit Xiao Chen. “Oh no!” Then he immediately shouted in the sky, “Big Brother Xiao Ning! Senior Gu Feng! Stop fighting!”

But the two men were fighting fiercely in the sky. Even if he used his internal force to transmit the sound, the sound could not pass through. On the side, Su Xiaomei seemed to have sensed something wrong as well. Her face turned pale and she was about to fly to the sky. Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and pulled her. “Sister Su, don’t worry. Stay here. I’ll go!”

After saying that, Xiao Chen immediately said to Qingluan and the others, “Keep an eye on Sister Su.” Then, he leaped and spread his Phoenix’s Wings, rushing into the sky. Only when he gets closer could he attract their attention. Just like when Mu Chengxue and Tianyun Zi were fighting in the Xiao Family, he could only tell them the truth when they were closer to each other in order to solve the misunderstanding between them.

Everyone below was shocked to see the two 3-meter long Phoenix wings that appeared on his back suddenly had allowed him to fly freely in the sky. They exclaimed, “What kind of magic treasure is this?”

Gui Xian was even more scared out of his wits. He exclaimed, “Boy, come back!” Then, he chanted a spell quickly, and turned into a black radiance and rushed up.

Xiao Chen noticed that he was catching up with him. He said hurriedly, “Senior, go back!”

Before his voice fell, there was a loud rumble. A fierce force rushed over from the sky. Xiao Chen suddenly turned around and held Gui Xian up. He used the Phoenix’s Wings on his back to resist this force, just as what Liu Fenghuang had done for him when she protected him.

“Boom!” With a loud noise, a huge impact hit Xiao Chen’s back, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. The Phoenix’s Wings were hit and disappeared temporarily, causing him to fall to the ground like a meteorite.

“Lord!” Qingluan and Ziyun’er moved and caught him immediately. Gui Xian’s face changed and hurriedly pressed on a few points on his body. Then he said in a deep voice, “You want to die! Your body is not yet healed completely. If you’re so reckless again, even I can’t save you!”

Xiao Chen’s face was so pale and ugly, Xiao Ning seemed to notice the situation in the sky and shouted, “Don’t come over!” Then he leaped and went 1,000 feet higher. Gu Feng yelled and went after instantly.

The two got farther and farther away, and gradually moved away from the sky above Wuyue Peak. Su Xiaomei chanted something, transformed into a light and followed after.

“Sister Su!” Xiao Chen shouted, but it was too late for him to stop her. Gui Xian held him back and shook his head.

Xiao Chen clenched his fingers and looked at the horizon where the three disappeared, and his mind suddenly emerged a picture from the day when Gu Feng escaped from the trap. “Xiao Ning! How can you die! You and I have not finished the battle. How can you die! ”

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen felt a little uncomfortable. Two men from a thousand years ago had gone through the vicissitudes of the sea. “Why must they fight till death?”

He did not understand. The grudge between Xiao Ning and Gu Feng was definitely not like the hatred between him and the Order of the Divine Fire, Ling family, and Zuoqiu Yang. “It definitely is not, but why were they… Could it be…”

“Someone wants to remove Xiao Ning!”

Xiao Chen was shocked. “It’s definitely not Ye Yuexuan who wants to remove Xiao Ning, but who can it be? Thousands of years have passed, and Xiao Ning is now back to life, so the people or forces that wanted him to be removed thousands of years ago may also appear today!”
