Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement

Chapter 585: Chapter 279: Sheep Entering the Tiger’s Den

Unexpectedly encountered Huang Li at the academy.

Jiang Feng immediately thought of those days before, when on Yagu Peak, helping Wu Jingyang kill the Six-tailed Wolf King, the little junior sister shrouded in black mist was Huang Li.

Even if it wasn’t her.

Huang Li must have some relation to that person as well.

"No, it must be her!"

"She’s become stronger, stronger than me."

"What should I do?"

Jiang Feng believed Huang Li was the little junior sister.

When she approached him, he hadn’t sensed anything, which showed that Huang Li’s strength was above his. Last time, he nearly killed her when he had Half-Step Foundation Establishment strength, and Huang Li had Qi Condensation Perfection cultivation. Now, through Fortune Points, his strength had reached Third-Layer Foundation Establishment. Huang Li could have, through some stroke of fortune, skyrocketed forward and surpassed him all at once.

At this moment Jiang Feng’s nerves were taut.

This was the academy.

On Cyan Cloud Sect’s Purple Mist Peak.

Huang Li shouldn’t dare to make a move, right?

"I want to read this book."

Huang Li said to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng let go.

Huang Li took the book, but just as she turned around, she seemed to sense something amiss, and looked again at Jiang Feng. She held that thick book with over a thousand pages, staring at Jiang Feng.

She whispered, "You recognize me, don’t you?"

Jiang Feng was stunned.

What does that mean?

Could it be that Huang Li doesn’t recognize him?

Although Jiang Feng had cultivated his Thousand Faces to Great Perfection, he didn’t dare use it within the Cyan Cloud Sect’s territory. He only changed his name and entered the Cyan Cloud Sect with his real face.

He hadn’t changed his appearance.

He knew the Cyan Cloud Sect was full of experts—Thousand Faces couldn’t fool everyone, not to mention Golden Core cultivators; perhaps even those senior brothers and sisters at the eighth or ninth layer of Foundation Establishment could see through his true face. To avoid trouble and being dealt with as a spy, Jiang Feng only changed his name.

So there’s no way Huang Li wouldn’t recognize him?

Could it be the person before him wasn’t Huang Li?

"I’m talking to you!"

Huang Li was a bit displeased. A flash of black power appeared in her eyes—the familiar Curse Power.

Jiang Feng’s mind was racing.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Hello, little junior sister."

Jiang Feng wanted to confirm if Huang Li was the little junior sister.

Upon hearing this, the Curse Power in Huang Li’s eyes became even stronger.

Jiang Feng grew even more nervous. Judging by her reaction, he already guessed Huang Li was the Cyan Cloud Sect’s little junior sister, and now she was even stronger than him.

He originally wanted to seek refuge in the Cyan Cloud Sect.

Now it seemed instead he was a sheep entering the tiger’s den.

"Where did you see me?"

Huang Li frowned and asked.

"I’m a disciple of the Talisman Master line. A few days ago when there was chaos at Yagu Peak, little junior sister helped eliminate the Wolf King; I was lucky enough to see you once."

Jiang Feng explained.

He was sure the person before him was Huang Li. As for why she didn’t recognize him, perhaps some unknown events had happened.

"Give me your identity token."

Huang Li said.

Jiang Feng handed it over obediently.

"Jiang Liu’er."

Huang Li checked carefully and found the person before her was indeed a disciple of the Talisman Master line. Back when they fought at Yagu Peak, she might have accidentally revealed her true face, which just happened to be seen by Jiang Feng. That’s also why Jiang Feng felt she looked familiar.

That seemed to make sense.

"About seeing me, did you tell anyone else?"

Huang Li asked again.

"No. Although I’m new to the Cyan Cloud Sect, I’ve heard that little junior sister doesn’t like interacting with others, so whether it was on Yagu Peak or today, I have never seen you."

Jiang Feng lowered his head and said.

"You do know how to behave. Fine, this book is yours!"

Huang Li tossed the book into Jiang Feng’s arms.

Without waiting for Jiang Feng to say anything else, she strode away. A ripple of light shimmered as she disappeared from Jiang Feng’s sight.

Jiang Feng looked on in awe.

Huang Li had set up a Restriction Array around them to block eavesdropping and prying, and he hadn’t even noticed. It was clear how far Huang Li had grown.

"Why didn’t she recognize me?"

Jiang Feng couldn’t figure it out.

Holding the thick ancient book, over a thousand pages, Jiang Feng had already lost his interest in reading it.

"This girl is no simple character. If one day she remembers who I am, she definitely won’t let me go."

"What should I do?"

"Leave the Cyan Cloud Sect and find a safer place to hide, or join another sect?"

"Sigh, hiding forever is not a solution."

"I’m a disciple of the Talisman Master line; even if she finds me out, she shouldn’t dare to kill me outright!"

Jiang Feng held on to a sliver of hope.

"No, I can’t pin my hopes on my Outer Disciple identity. Even if I’m a Talisman Master disciple, Huang Li has hundreds of ways to kill me."

"Wait, if I raise my status, and get valued by the sect like Wu Jingyang, then even if Huang Li discovers me, she won’t dare act rashly."

"That’s right!"

"Yagu Peak’s disciples suffered heavy losses."

"Even several talisman masters were lost."

"They need people now more than ever."

"If Yagu Peak gains another talisman master at this time, the sect will definitely take special care of me!"

"I should go look for Changyun right now!"

Jiang Feng put the book back on the shelf.

He had to hurry to become a Talisman Master of Cyan Cloud Sect—become a high-level member of the Talisman Master line like Changyun. Only then could he deal with the potential threat from Huang Li.

So he quickly left the academy, ran out of Purple Mist Peak, cast Wind Control, flew low to the ground, and hurried back to Xiaolin Peak.

The surviving disciples had all been relocated to Xiaolin Peak.

Changyun and the other talisman masters were also temporarily staying at Xiaolin Peak.

If he wanted to become a Talisman Master—

He had to first pass Changyun’s test.

"Wait, no!"

"Something’s wrong."

Just as Jiang Feng was heading back to Xiaolin Peak, leaving the academy and preparing to return to her cave to cultivate, Huang Li suddenly realized something was off.
