Seeing that the mid grade young man before him was unwilling to listen to him, the thin man laughed creepily and attacked him. As soon as he made his move, the skin and little flesh he had completely disappeared and he became a man made of only bone.
Li Feng was surprised by this. The way suddenly this man turned into a skeleton was quite creepy. He in reflex, ended up retaliating with more force than he intended. A bloody tentacle appeared around him and smashed the skeleton man to the ground.
Li Feng noticed that his bones were quite a bit tougher than regular bones. But still before the blood tentacles, they were very brittle. Just one smack almost shattered all the bones. And if Li Feng had not held back at the last moment, he would have died just from this casual attack.
As for the reason why he did not kill the skeleton man, that was because Li Feng found him to be interesting and wanted to add him to his collection of blood servants. So he used the Blood Pool of Dread again and absorbed the skeleton man's body inside it.
Unlike the time with Fan Guyu, this time Li Feng did not torture the man and immediately made his consciousness to disappear. So without any problem, he became Li Feng's second blood servant. Li Feng did not have much expectations of him and only hoped that after getting nurtured in his blood pool, this man would be able to grow a little bit stronger.
After taking care of him, Li Feng did not waste anymore time and quickly used his True Blood Traversal in full strength. He did not want to stop in any other places and wanted to reach the cave adobe as soon as possible.
...
After reaching the location marked on the map, Li Feng found himself in a valley between two large Mountain. Yue, who was hiding in Li Feng's clothing all this time, came out and took on her human form. She was just way to beautiful and would attract a lot of trouble in crowded places. That is the reason why she did not come out in the open when Li Feng was in the market.
After coming out, she looked around the area and asked curiously about the cave abode. She could not see anything like that in this area. Li Feng smiled after hearing that and patted Yue on her head. Then he told her that obviously the owner of the cave abode had hidden it and they needed the map to find the exact location.
Then Li Feng took out the map again and unlike all the previous times, this time the map started to shine with a dim white light. Then a ray of light came out of the map and pointed toward a direction. Li Feng followed the guidance of the light and find himself before a cliff wall. But as soon as the light hit the wall, an array became visible on the wall.
This was a high grade array of probably the third rank. So Li Feng was not really able to completely understand it with him limited knowledge. But from the structure of the array nodes, he guesses that this was a versatile array with various functions like stealth, attack, defense etc. It was quite an impressive array actually.
With the influence of the white light, a door appeared on the cliff wall. Seeing this, Li Feng again asked Yue to get inside his clothing just to be safe. Yue did as she was told and only after that Li Feng stepped ahead and entered the suddenly appeared door.
After entering the door, he found himself inside a small garden with a small pond. The sky of this place was filled with stars and everything looked quite mystical. There was a man sitting on the bank of the pond, fishing.
His body was a bit transparent so it was clear that he was not a flesh and blood human. Li Feng guessed that it was just a remnant soul of a cultivator. Normally only a Nascent Soul powerhouse was capable of leaving behind a remnant soul. But the upgraded map mentioned that this cave belonged to a golden core realm cultivator. So this man must have been at the peak of golden core. Or even a half step into the Nascent Soul realm.
As Li Feng was looking at the man's back, he turned around and looked at him. He had a handsome face but from his eyes it was clear he was quite experienced in bloody battles. After he gave a deep look to Li Feng, he suddenly spoke up and asked a question.
"Young man, can you introduce itself ? And please do tell me about what date it is now ?"
Li Feng brought his hands together and gave the man a respectful bow. Then he spoke up -
"Yes senior. I'm Li Feng and I have just started cultivating. Currently it is sixth month of 3077 year after the fall of the unified dynasty."
The unified dynasty was a powerful cultivation nation that had tried to swallow all the sects of this region, including both righteous and demonic. So the sects fought back against them and after massive losses on both sides, the unified dynasty lost and was destroyed. As this was a very big and well known event of this area, most people living here used this as their benchmark to count time.
Hearing what Li Feng said, the remnant soul of the man let out a sigh. Almost unconsciously he spoke up.
"Last time when someone had came here, it was year 2710 after the great fall. More than 300 years had passed from that time."
Hearing that Li Feng became cautious. If he was not the first person to enter this place, then how was the treasure still here. This place had been under the control of the demonic sects for over 2000 years. This man did not look like a demonic cultivator. The little bit of aura this remnant soul had was filled with good instead of evil. That could mean he must be an enemy of the demonic cultivators.
As Li Feng was busy thinking about the situation, suddenly the man attacked him. As a remnant soul, Li Feng could feel that he was not very strong. That was why he was not to worried about his safety. But as soon as he made his move, a large hidden formation appeared around Li Feng. Even just by a slight glance, it was clear to Li Feng that this formation was a killing one.
He immediately manifested his Blood Armament and created a shield around his body. Seeing this the man's face turned unpleasant and he exclaimed -
"Just as I had expected. You're also a scummy demonic cultivator from the Blood Sea sect just like the last one. It looks like this cave of mine is really now located in the Blood Sea Sect's territory."
While he was speaking, the formation activated and many small sword beams appeared around Li Feng. Seeing this, Li Feng immediately identified the formation as "Thousand Nodes Small Sword Slaughter Formation".
This was also a rank 3 formation which could easily kill even a peak foundation establishment cultivator. And Li Feng was still in the Qi gathering realm. So would he be able to withstand this attack and get out of this cave abode alive ?
