Fantasy: I Can Randomly Refresh My Realm

Wushan Seal”Witch... Witch Mountain?” she stammered. ”You... why would you ask about this place?”

”Just pure curiosity, Madam, could you tell me?”

”Since you are already my son-in-law,” Lu Yun finally spoke, a trace of helplessness in her tone. ”Then I will tell you.”

Jing Shen’s heart rejoiced, but he nodded calmly, putting on a look of serious listening.

Lu Yun looked around, ensuring no one else was nearby, before lowering her voice and saying, ”Back then, Witch Mountain was once the sealing ground of the Demon God. That ancient Demon God, who gathered the Evil Qi of heaven and earth, was eventually suppressed on Witch Mountain by several Immortal Cultivation Sects working together, because of his immense power and indiscriminate killing of the innocent.”

Speaking of this, a trace of fear flashed in Lu Yun’s eyes, as if she had witnessed that earth-shattering battle herself.

She continued, ”At that time, heaven and earth changed color, and mountains and rivers inverted. Countless Cultivators advanced wave after wave, sacrificing themselves for the Dao. Finally, they used supreme magic power to Seal the Demon God deep within Witch Mountain, binding his body with chains of ten-thousand-year-old cold iron, and burning his soul with the Nine Heavens Divine Fire...”

Jing Shen listened intently, couldn’t help but gasp.

He could imagine the tragic intensity of that great battle and the terrifying scene when the Demon God was sealed.

”And in recent decades,” Lu Yun continued, ”the four major Immortal Cultivation Sects have taken turns stationing themselves on Witch Mountain to ensure the Seal is intact and prevent the Demon God from escaping! They reinforce the Seal every thirty years.”

Speaking of this, Lu Yun’s voice became even lower, carrying a hint of unease. ”But even doing this, I’ve heard the Seal is loosening, and many Disciples from the Immortal Cultivation Sects have died. And it seems a wisp of the Demon God’s remnant soul also escaped from the sealed ground. Because of this, the Demon Clan who originally lived around the Nether River are already stirring restlessly.”

Jing Shen was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

Just as he wanted to ask further questions, Lu Yun suddenly grabbed his hand, her tone becoming serious.

”Shen Jing.” Lu Yun’s eyes were full of worry. ”You are now the son-in-law of my Bi Jian Villa, and your future happiness is tied to my daughter’s. You absolutely must not be foolish enough to go to that Witch Mountain!”

Jing Shen looked at Lu Yun’s anxious expression, and his heart warmed.

He quickly nodded and reassured her, ”Don’t worry, Madam, how could I go to such a dangerous place? I will stay properly at the Villa and accompany my wife.”

Only then did Lu Yun breathe a sigh of relief, and a smile reappeared on her face.

”That’s good.” She patted Jing Shen’s shoulder. ”It’s good that you understand.”

Then Jing Shen said some more pleasant words to coax Lu Yun before turning to leave.

Only after her figure disappeared into the distance did he let out a long breath and turn back towards Zhao Yuwei and Xiao Feng.

”How was it?” Zhao Yuwei asked impatiently. ”What else did Madam Lu tell you?”

Jing Shen lowered his voice and said, ”I’ve actually found out some incredible news...”

After hearing Jing Shen’s account, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

”The Demon God’s Seal, huh...” he sighed meaningfully, his heart filled with various thoughts.

This news was of great significance to him, perhaps it could solve the mystery of his Foster Father Wu Hai’s drastic change in temperament.

His Foster Father’s recent abnormal actions appeared in his mind, and an ominous premonition quietly arose.

Zhao Yuwei acutely sensed Xiao Feng’s abnormality.

Her gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, quickly making a judgment.

”Xiao Feng.” she said decisively. ”Do you think Wu Hai’s change might be related to the Witch Mountain Demon God?”

Xiao Feng nodded slightly, and Zhao Yuwei immediately continued, ”Then we must act quickly. I suggest we prepare immediately and head to Witch Mountain as soon as possible to investigate. Only by seeing for ourselves can we figure out why Wu Hai’s temperament changed so drastically.”

”I want to go too!” Jing Shen interjected excitedly.

However, Xiao Feng immediately shook his head, his tone firm. ”No, Jing Shen. You have a more important task.”

A trace of caution flashed in his eyes as he carefully weighed his words. ”You still need to continue investigating Ouyang Mingyue’s whereabouts. Although that jade pendant might be related to the Demon Clan, for safety’s sake, it’s best that you stay at the Villa.”

The excitement on Jing Shen’s face instantly disappeared, replaced by obvious disappointment.

He pursed his lips and grumbled discontentedly, ”But I don’t want to spend all day with that short-tempered Zhuang Wuxia...”

Zhao Yuwei interrupted him mercilessly. ”You have no choice, Jing Shen. We must split into two groups. You stay here and continue gathering information, and we will go to Witch Mountain to investigate. This is the most reasonable arrangement.”

Upon hearing this, Jing Shen’s face was filled with unwillingness.

”Alright, alright.” He reluctantly agreed. ”I will stay. But you must tell me everything about the situation at Witch Mountain!”

After speaking, he turned and left, his steps revealing a hint of petulance.

”What a restless fellow.” Zhao Yuwei watched Jing Shen’s retreating back, shaking her head helplessly.

Xiao Feng said softly, ”He’s just too curious. But now is not the time to take him on an adventure, especially when we don’t yet know the specifics of the situation.”

”You’re right.” Zhao Yuwei agreed. ”Then let’s set off tomorrow.”

Early the next morning, as the morning sun first rose, Bi Jian Villa was shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei came before the Manor Lord and the Manor Lord’s wife to bid farewell.

Manor Lord’s wife Lu Yun had a hint of reluctance on her face and asked softly, ”Feng Xiao, Zhao Yu, are you really leaving? Won’t you wait until after Shen Jing and my daughter’s wedding to leave?”

She clearly wanted to keep these two guests.

Zhao Yuwei smiled slightly. ”Thank you, Madam, for your kind hospitality. It’s just that there’s a sudden urgent matter at home, and we have no choice but to depart immediately.”

Xiao Feng also stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, ”That’s right, Manor Lord, Madam, we are truly grateful. It’s just that family matters cannot be delayed, and we hope you two can forgive us.”

The Manor Lord and the Manor Lord’s wife exchanged glances, seemingly understanding that they could not keep them.

The Manor Lord sighed, took out a bulging money bag from his In arms, and handed it to Xiao Feng. ”Since that’s the case, take these silver coins with you, so you’ll have something to rely on during your journey.”

”This...” Xiao Feng hesitated slightly, but under the Manor Lord’s insistence, he accepted it.

Lu Yun, on the other hand, held Zhao Yuwei’s hand and said earnestly, ”Young Masters, be careful on your journey. If you encounter any difficulties, you can always return. Bi Jian Villa will always welcome you.”

Zhao Yuwei nodded gratefully. ”Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. We will certainly keep it in mind.”

After bidding farewell to Bi Jian Villa, Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei immediately mounted their swords and soared into the sky.

The two stood side by side, their robes fluttering, as they travelled through the sea of clouds.

”What exactly do you think happened in this Witch Mountain Town?” Xiao Feng asked, tilting his head while controlling his Flying Sword.

Zhao Yuwei frowned slightly. ”It’s hard to say, but it’s definitely not simple. Something that can make even Bi Jian Villa apprehensive must be quite significant.”
