Behind the white door, the sound of water splas.h.i.+ng about could be heard.
"Oh."
A ray of light flashed across Ye Feng's eyes. He walked a few steps forward, arrived at the door and looked in.
He could only see a vast expanse of blue, sparkling in the water. It was a magnificent stretch of mountains and rivers.
"I didn't expect that there would be another world within this door."
"The one who said I didn't think of, should be me."
Nie Zun scratched his head in embarra.s.sment, smiling awkwardly. His expression was no longer as stiff as it was before.
He cupped his hands and looked up solemnly.
"Ye Feng, I've seen you just now. I'll apologize to you here, but who would have thought that you would be able to break through the barrier and open the gate by yourself. You are indeed a rare talent in arrays." Ye Feng, I've seen you just now, I'll apologize here.
Compared to Gu Shenwei, Nie Zun was slightly stronger, but he still lacked in controlling formations.
Ye Feng acted like he was going to say something, and chuckled, but did not comment and waved his hand.
"It's alright. Then why are you being so polite? There's only the two of us going to Star Fall City. From now on, we'll have to trouble Brother Nie."
Nie Zun let out a loud laugh. Seeing that Ye Feng was easy to talk to, he no longer pulled a long face and said, "Sure, sure. However, I wasn't the only one who sent us to Star Fall City …"
"Is there anyone else?"
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment. He looked around, but no one was around.
Before now, he hadn't noticed anyone following him.
Then, where is he?
After a while, as if he had understood something, he fixed his gaze on the outside of the white door.
Nie Zun gave a faint smile as he walked towards the white gate. He bent down, placed his hand into the ice-cold water, and slowly circulated the spiritual energy within his body.
"Elder Ming, the customer is here …" He spoke slowly.
The moment his voice fell, ripples spread out in all directions. With Nie Zun as the center, a message filled with spiritual energy spread out in all directions.
… ….
A moment later.
In the depths of the gra.s.s, there was a long pole holding a bamboo raft. It was approaching from afar, and from a dense fog, it was heading in the direction of the two people.
On top of the bamboo raft, an old man with a crane shaped face and a sullen expression, seemed to be hiding his entire body's behavior under that wide robe.
He hoa.r.s.ely said, "A rare guest, Nie Zun. I remember that the person who came to the Starfall River in the past was little friend Niu Nu. Today, where did he go?"
"He …"
Nie Zun gave an embarra.s.sed smile, shook his head and said, "About that …" He has other things to do, so I will take over the responsibility of coming to Starfall City from now on. "
"Is … is this really true …?" Elder Ming stared into Nie Zun's eyes and slightly furrowed his brows, as if he had already seen through Nie Zun's thoughts.
Things shouldn't be so simple.
"Forget about it. Why would I care about meddling in other people's business? As long as it's someone from the Spiritual Martial Sect, I will naturally welcome them properly."
He sighed as he raised his head. Naturally, he also noticed the person behind Nie Zun.
"So, he's the guest this time?"
"Yeah."
Nie Zun slightly smiled, then slightly nodded his head. He turned his head and waved towards Ye Feng.
Ye Feng, hurry up and come greet Elder Ming. Elder Ming has been in charge of this area for decades, and is an absolute insider. He has helped our Spirit Martial Sect communicate with the outside world.
Some people looked down on Elder Ming when they first saw him as someone who could prop up a boat.
They didn't know that the place where the boat was being held up was not an ordinary river but the River Styx. How could an ordinary person hold up on the boat? It was caused by the use of spiritual energy.
Thus, this Elder Ming was definitely an extremely well-hidden expert.
Moreover, as long as a person fell into the water, no matter how good they were in the water, they would die without a doubt.
Even if their fates were to be controlled, ordinary people would still have to be polite to Elder Ming.
"So that's how it is. Zi Feng greets Elder Ming."
Ye Feng smiled, raised his torch and looked in Elder Ming's direction.
"Alright, alright, alright. Come on up."
"Thank you very much."
Then, Ye Feng jumped through the white door and onto Elder Ming's bamboo raft.
He slowly raised his head and looked around at the fog. In a distant place, he couldn't see anything at all. It was like he was in a sealed s.p.a.ce filled with steam.
At first, Elder Ming just politely smiled. However, once his eagle-like gaze collided with Ye Feng …
He immediately froze on the spot, revealing an expression of surprise. Even his actions of propping up the boat were frozen on the spot.
Seeing that Elder Ming remained silent for a long time, Nie Zun put on a bewitching look and asked, "Elder Ming, Elder Ming, what's wrong with you?"
"Little friend Nie Li …"
"Elder Ming, I think you've suddenly gone dumb. I don't know what happened, or do you think Ye Feng's manners are lacking?"
"Of course not, there's nothing lacking in etiquette. Besides, I've lived for a long time, so I don't care about these useless things."
Elder Ming came back to his senses and quickly shook his head, continuing to support the bamboo raft.
The small bamboo raft continued to swing along with the blue wave.
In the vast sea, it seemed as if it had never moved.
"I saw him in a daze. Speaking of the reason, you wouldn't believe it either. I felt that he had the same appearance as a powerful figure I've seen before. That's why he had such a reaction."
"Ye Feng, big shot."
Nie Zun was stunned for a brief moment, and then, with a "Puchi" sound, he almost laughed out loud.
A brilliant smile appeared on his face as he turned around to look at Ye Feng and then at Elder Ming.
"Elder Ming, he has only recently reached the ninth level of the Martial Disciple Realm. He is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the great man you spoke of …"
"He is only at the ninth level of the Martial Disciple realm huh? Oh, is that so …" It could be that I was too old and dizzy to remember correctly. "
Elder Ming frowned as he continued staring at Ye Wen, as if he was unwilling to give up.
"Ye Feng, right? To be honest, who in your family knows how to concoct pills? Who knows, maybe that big shot is your relative."
Hearing the word "pill", a bright light flashed across Ye Feng's eyebrows.
Could it be that this Elder Ming had travelled through many different worlds and even met the past him?
If he had really seen him in the Black Tortoise Continent, then wouldn't that mean that if he said no, there was a possibility of him returning to his original hometown?
With this thought in mind, he forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart. He pursed his lips and felt as if his heart would burst out at any moment.
"Elder Ming, may I ask what realm that great character of yours is at and where he comes from?"
"I have to ferry so many people every day. It's been a long time, and I'm getting on in years … I can't really remember. "
All of a sudden, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands while laughing, "Oh, right, I remember now, he's the one you guys are going to. It should be a Martial Spirit. "
"This... So that's how it is, the people from Star City … "
Ye Feng sighed slightly, and as if he had understood something, he nodded.
He didn't say it out loud, but an indescribable loneliness flashed through his heart.
He finally thought that he had a clue that he could go back, but in the end, all he had to do was to be happy.
"Elder Ming, could it be that the great man is surnamed Ye?" Nie Zun looked at Elder Ming with a slightly puzzled expression.
He almost never came to Starfall, so he was naturally not very familiar with the situation inside.
"I think he's surnamed Ye, so I asked him if he's someone from your family." Elder Ming spoke while supporting his long pole, looking very charming.
A ray of light flashed across Ye Feng's eyes. After a while, he sighed, "Maybe, maybe he's a member of my family."
"A member of your Ye Clan, then, what is his name?"
"I don't know." Ye Feng's answer was simple and straightforward.
Nie Zun was stunned and blurted out, "That can't be. Since he's a member of your family, how could you not know his name?"
"I don't know, but I just don't know. Our Ye Family's branch family is located in the underground city of the Heavenly Law City. I'm afraid that in the eyes of our family, our branch family is even inferior to the countryside." Ye Feng sighed.
"This …"
Nie Zun smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I don't care about your Ye family. I'll just ask you one thing, when you go to the Wind Rebel Academy, where will you be staying? Do you want me to arrange lodging for you in the academy?"
"Many thanks for your kindness, Brother Nie. However, I don't need it for now."
Ye Feng smiled calmly and shook his head.
My little sister, Ye Xueyi, knew that I was going to Star Fall City, so she immediately sent a message to my father, Ye Chong Tian, asking him to write a letter to the family head of the Ye family, then a letter to prove my ident.i.ty. After I arrive, I'll go live in the family so that I can have some time to look after you.
"So that's how it is. I understand now."
Nie Zun smiled lightly, raised his head, and saw that at that very moment, the surrounding mist gradually dispersed.
"Let's not talk about all this nonsense. Who would've thought that in the blink of an eye, the light boat had already pa.s.sed the Ten Thousand Mountains. Ye Feng, raise your head and take a good look at this scenery. Compared to the Heavenly Law City, do you think it's any different?"
Green mountains and water, the light was like a mirror.
The Emperor Star, had fallen to the Stellar River, was akin to a chessboard.
In the middle of the water, there was a bright and resplendent large cover that reflected back, giving off a boundless sense of beauty.
A barrier.
This was the barrier that Starfall City opened up to the outside world, and the entrance to Starfall City needed to be opened up.
"You two, we have finally arrived. Star Fall City …" Elder Ming's calm voice came from behind the two of them.
