699: Chapter 699: Not Optimistic 699: Chapter 699: Not Optimistic Regarding Zou Bocheng’s admonitions,

Shen Feng casually nodded his head.

Once they arrived at the Lu Family, naturally someone would explain his identity to Zou Bocheng and the others.

Five days swiftly passed by.

Throughout the journey, Zou Bocheng had been extremely cautious, even having Shen Feng slightly alter his appearance.

Now, in the many cultivators’ cities of the Lower Realm, portraits of Shen Feng were posted everywhere.

Cold Extreme Palace, Blood Soul Demon Sect, and Star Sea Sword Sect jointly offered a very generous reward.

Anyone who could provide clues about Shen Feng would receive a substantial amount of cultivation resources.

The top genius of Star Sea Sword Sect, Fan Langfei, perished within the golden structure.

Without guessing, it was naturally Shen Feng’s doing, and the Star Sea Sword Sect was, of course, raging beyond words!

Under such a tense situation,

Zou Bocheng couldn’t let Shen Feng return to the Lu Family with his original appearance in such a conspicuous manner.

After five days of travel,

Shen Feng and Zou Bocheng, along with the others, were now only a few dozen minutes away from the Lu Family.

Originally, Lu Xiangfu and others had met with the children of the Lu Family Great Elder and Second Elder, and they were stationed within a city.

The dynasty that owned this city, upon learning that Lu Xiangfu’s Lu Family was stationed there, did them a favor by offering the city on a silver platter.

Since then, the city had been renamed “Lu City”!

Zou Bocheng had used a special method to transmit the news about Shen Feng back to the Lu Family within Lu City two days ago.

However, these past two days, he had not received any response from the Lu Family.

As they were about to reach Lu City, he once again sent a transmission back to the Lu Family in Lu City!

But still, there was no reply.

This left him full of doubts, but he could only wait until they reached Lu City to figure it out.

Now, virtually all the Righteous Path Sects and all the Demon Path Sects had joined forces to hunt down Shen Feng.

Once his whereabouts were known, he would likely face certain death.

In turn, Zou Bocheng shook his head with a wry smile.

He felt he was worrying too much and trusted that the Lu Family would handle the situation properly.

After Shen Feng’s cultivation breakthrough to the peak of the Nascent Variation, the Nascent Soul within his Dantian became increasingly blurred, as if it was about to completely dissipate at any moment.

But within this indistinct Nascent Soul, the energy contained was incredibly vast, and once the Nascent Soul completely vanished, he would step into the Sea Transformation Stage.

So far in the Lower Realm, he had only encountered Gu Hengyuan, Jia Longxuan, and even the Undead Monster Scorpion that was with them had disappeared.

And what about the Void Mysterious Turtle?

Furthermore, Xia Baikang, Xia Muyan, and others who were with it were also gone without a trace.

Could it be that they were no longer in the Lower Realm and had long since gone to the Middle Realm?

While striding through the air, his mind was preoccupied with these thoughts.

Lu Tingting gazed at the profile of Shen Feng’s face, biting her lip gently.

The only person she had revered in her heart was the Carefree Immortal Emperor, a conviction that had been unshakable until now.

But now, having witnessed Shen Feng’s impressive feats one after another, her inner resolve began to waver.

She was attracted by the charm exuding from him and began to develop a subtle admiration for him.

She had always considered herself someone who fixated on something to the point of obsession, believing that once she was set on something, it would never change.

She used to be certain that in this life, she would only admire the Carefree Immortal Emperor, once fervently chasing after every one of his legendary deeds.

However, this indecision in her heart now caused her a subtle sense of panic.

It might seem trivial to others, but not to Lu Tingting.

The Carefree Immortal Emperor had always been her faith!

As her inner turmoil grew more intense,

several kilometers outside the gates of Lu City, an ancient pavilion stood.

The pavilion bore the marks of many years, and no one knew when it had appeared there.

It was said that, eons ago, a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage had broken through to the Condensing Immortal Stage within this pavilion.

However, the destructive force that came with breaking through was unable to destroy this pavilion.

There was a time when many cultivators came here to explore, but in the end, they found nothing special about this pavilion.

The material of the pavilion, though, is indeed quite extraordinary, so much so that even peak Condensing Immortal powerhouses are unable to shatter it.

That is about all there is to it, as, aside from its extreme hardness, the pavilion material seems to have almost no other use.

The materials of such a small pavilion could not be used to construct any grand buildings, and besides, with so many Sects in the Lower Realm, the pavilion ultimately stayed right here, earning the name “Condensing Immortal Pavilion”!

At this moment.

Inside the Condensing Immortal Pavilion.

Lu Family ancestors Lu Xiangfu, Supreme Elder Lu Wansheng, Family Head Lu Guangwen, and Eldest Miss Lu Xueqing, among others, were all present.

Feng Lianghai, the old friend of Lu Wansheng, had been shamelessly following the Lu Family ever since he learned of Shen Feng’s identity, and he had even joined the Lu Family.

Now he too stood among the crowd.

Great Elder Lu Yixiang and Second Elder Lu Yuanhong were standing behind Lu Xiangfu and the others,

And, of course, standing behind those two were two middle-aged men who looked exceedingly respectful: They were Lu Yixiang’s son Lu Gaochuan and Lu Yuanhong’s son Lu Dongyan.

Lu Gaochuan was also the father of Lu Jinghua, and naturally, Lu Dongyan was Lu Tingting’s father.

They had also learned of Shen Feng being the Carefree Immortal Emperor.

Two days before, when Zou Bocheng had relayed a message back,

The warrants issued by the Cold Extreme Palace and other Sects had already spread throughout the Lower Realm, and naturally, Lu Xiangfu and the others understood the whole story.

Initially, they wanted to prepare to go support Shen Feng right away, but at that moment, they received a message from Zou Bocheng.

Upon hearing that Shen Feng was heading to Lu City, Lu Xiangfu and the others couldn’t control their emotions.

They didn’t use sound transmission to explain Shen Feng’s situation in detail to Zou Bocheng; after all, it wasn’t something that could be made clear in a sentence or two.

They decided to wait until his return to discuss it.

All of a sudden, Lu Xiangfu noticed several figures in the distant sky rapidly approaching; it looked like Zou Bocheng and the others were about to arrive.

Lu Xiangfu then stepped out of the Condensing Immortal Pavilion, solemnly straightened his collar, and wore a respectful expression on his face.

Lu Wansheng, Feng Lianghai, and others also braced themselves; they didn’t want to seem disrespectful in the presence of the Carefree Immortal Emperor.

Lu Gaochuan and Lu Dongyan, who were about to meet the Carefree Immortal Emperor for the first time, were so excited that they couldn’t control their trembling bodies.

Lu Yixiang glared at Lu Gaochuan and sent him a sound transmission, “Don’t disgrace me.

If you fail to show proper respect in front of our Old Ancestor, I won’t let you off when we get back.”

Lu Yuanhong similarly sent a sound transmission to Lu Dongyan, “Look at the lack of composure you have.

Can’t you behave with some dignity?”

These two old men might have forgotten how they collapsed on the ground the first time they learned about the Carefree Immortal Emperor.

Zou Bocheng and others in the distant sky saw Lu Xiangfu and Lu Wansheng in front of the Condensing Immortal Pavilion and their eyes reflected puzzlement.

Lu Xiangfu, this Condensing Immortal Stage powerhouse, was difficult for them to even meet under normal circumstances, so was this their way of welcoming them?

Lu Jinghua, thinking he was clever, said, “Master, why would all the ancestors be outside?

Could it be that they don’t want this brother to enter Lu City, so they are intercepting him outside?”

Lu Tingting’s brow furrowed deeply, she too thought that this was a possibility.

Zou Bocheng glanced at Shen Feng, who remained calm, and said, “If anything happens later, don’t get into a conflict with the Lu Family.

I will try my best to mediate.

Even if you cannot enter Lu City, I will arrange a place for you to hide.”

“You need to be prepared—given the current situation, I am not optimistic!”
