Chapter 99: The Windswept Forest
re so, the coldness.Tai Yin was certain that he had no grudge against this person, but the other's killing intent... was too intense! He involuntarily tensed his body and in response to the starlight...Within this vast area temporarily delineated by the State of Jing, countless scattered factions existed, some with good reputations and others with bad. However, none were particularly noteworthy, especially not to the State of Jing itself.
Fu Dongxu, Qiu Tie, and Ji Yan Yue, three contemporary masters, searched in three directions. A large number of people from Jing Shi Tai had also been deployed.
Within three days, no one is allowed to enter or leave the restricted area.
Fu Dongxu encountered the bitter taste that came face-to-face while searching in a barren wilderness.

At this moment, Fu Dongxu, even with his flowing sleeves, couldn't seem to project an air of detachment. After all, he was burdened with pressure, worried about matters, and tirelessly searching on the ground—even a true master of the world would inevitably feel weary.
Today, he has to admit.
Jing Shi Tai's leading figure Jiang Wang's involvement in the sorcery incident was truly reckless!
Jiang Wang being forced to leave Qi was, of course, a great opportunity.
After the meeting of the Yellow River, Zhuang Gaoxian, who had been paying attention to Jiang Wang, discovered this opportunity and immediately piled up his chips.
Because of the majesty of the Hegemon Nation, Zhuang Gaoxian did not dare to personally assassinate Jiang Wang, who was currently enjoying his status and fame. As a national lord, he could not roam the world like those free-spirited immortals of the present day, so he turned to Yu Jingshan.
When this golden opportunity to strike at the country presented itself, Zhuang Ting had both ambiguous evidence enough to confuse and mislead, and he was willing to spend heavily to support it.
This side of the Mirror World Platform is actually just a matter of going with the flow. A team of elite Outer Courtyard warriors quietly took them down and escorted them to Jade King Mountain - this should have been a very simple, easy task.
But the four elite guards from the Rebel Army, were all killed by Jiang Wang alone!

On the one hand, the losses of the Dangxie Army need to be compensated. On the other hand, Yujing Mountain and Jingshi Tai are not willing to give up halfway. Furthermore, Jiang Wang, who can achieve a comeback, is more valuable than before, so it is even more necessary to eliminate him.
Therefore, Zhao Xuanyang took decisive action.
What was even more surprising was that Zhao Xuanyang himself took action, using Shen Lin to pursue the inner palace. It took him over a day to catch the culprit.

Qi State's situation is also perplexing.
>
Just a few days ago, the rumors about Jiang Wang colluding with the Pingguo rebels to attack Qi were spreading like wildfire. Unexpectedly, they were quickly suppressed.
What's even more incredible is—
Qi State actually confronted Jing State head-on for the sake of an inner palace prodigy who was practically fleeing Qi's borders.
Fu Dongxu also reacted at this time. He had misjudged Jiang Wang's power and influence in Qi State. The recent events within Qi State were far more complex than what he and other outsiders perceived. Qi Emperor must have had a deeper plan. Jiang Wang's departure to travel was more about stepping out of the vortex, rather than fleeing for safety.
...more than just misjudging these things!
He even underestimated Jiang Wang's true abilities.
One trivial matter, bit by bit escalated, turned into an extremely complex situation. By now, Fu Dongxu naturally no longer contented himself with merely killing a Qi State prodigy and giving Qi State a little warning. He had invested more, and therefore demanded even more!
At this moment, Fu Dongxu had a tired look on his face, no longer worldly.
The yellow-faced old monk who came face to face, also... well, he had never left the monastery.
A wind-beaten, yellow-faced old monk bumped into Fu Dongxu and, without a word, turned and walked away.
“Halt!” Fu Dongxu exclaimed.
He stepped forward, his voice stern: "Master Ku Jue, I've already told you to leave this area, haven't I This isn't a joke, and I'm not saying it lightly!"

Driven by his bitter anger, a harsh word was truly about to leave his mouth, but after some thought, he swallowed it back.
Looking at Fu Dongxu, the old face broke into a smile when he saw his old friend: "The sealed area is too large! I'm afraid you won't be able to find it, so I'll help you."
Fu Dongxu still had no good expression, this person before arrogance, after humility also!
"I've said what I had to say, you better leave on your own." He warned. "I don't have the mood to deal with you right now, but that doesn't mean I can continue to tolerate you."
“To say what is tolerable and what is not, isn't that a bit too much” Ku Jue lightly hit Fu Dongxu’s sleeve, affectionately complaining: “Now you want to find someone, and I want to find someone too. Aren’t we just fellow travelers in this vast world”
For some reason, Fu Dongxu felt that this kind of bitterness was even more infuriating than being scolded to his face.
He said coldly, “I’ve already given you enough face.”
Ku Jue blinked his innocent old eyes: "Just a little more."
Fu Dongxu was about to let out a long roar, calling over Chou Tie and Ji Yan Yue to deal with this old monk right then and there.
But as the leader of the Mirror World Stage, he had too many things to consider.
After thinking for a moment, he finally said: “Let’s make a pact, three rules...”
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" Ku Jie nodded repeatedly: "I agree!"
He agreed without even listening, obviously planning to break his promise.
But Fu Dongxu still endured, only saying: "You are not allowed to leave and act alone."
“That’s great!” Ku Jue smiled happily. “I was getting tired of being alone anyway, and I'm quite exhausted. I especially trust the intelligence you guys from the Mirror Stage provide!”
Fu Dongxu found that no matter what he said, the other party could follow along, and when he said one sentence, they could respond with ten...

Without another word, he covered his head and began to search.
Under this entire ban, the least populated areas were none other than the Wu Yan Mountains and the Wind After Dense Forest.
The former is a volcanic group, the origin of whose name is unreliable. No one knows what the three characters mean or what language they originated from. All we have are stories passed down through generations. Perhaps they are already distorted.
The latter, on the other hand, is relatively more talked about in rumors.

Among the most interesting stories is that during the reign of Emperor Shinto Daichang, a powerful individual achieved divine status through their mastery over wind, known as the "Wind Empress." It is said that after their death, they were buried within this very forest, with its endless expanse serving as their final resting place.

Therefore, it is called "Wind Whisper Forest".
Of course, this legend is unfounded and no one has ever claimed to have found anything in the Wind Goddess Forest. It's just that over time, it became a tradition.
After exploring many places to no avail, Fu Dongxu arrived at the Feng Hou Forest with the bitter taste of dragging his feet.
Saying "he's holding us back" is actually inaccurate, after all, Kuuji is very seriously helping with the search. This "holding us back" mainly refers to what Kuuji would do after finding Zhao Xuanyang and Jiang Wang.
However, both Chou Tie and Ji Yan Yue were within this area, so Fu Dongxu wasn't too worried.
Two seemingly harmonious figures, at least for this moment, shared a common goal. Occupying opposite sides, they both used their divine awareness to thoroughly search the area...
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed through the forest, as if the entire Feng Hou primeval forest had trembled.
The two living immortals of this age were not afraid at all. They rose into the air, and both cast their eyes toward the source of the tremors.
But then, about three miles away from them, a large tree suddenly “shot” up.
It was like an old farmer transplanting rice, pulling his own legs—two extraordinarily thick tree roots—out of the soil.
In the center of the great tree, its bark cracked open, revealing features resembling those of a human.
With a sudden roar, birds flew and trees swayed: “Where is Fu Dongxu!”
We've settled on nine thousand.
