Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 266 - 168: Divine Sect... Ghost Sect_4

Anyway, they’re just a bunch of ordinary people.

He used his Body Technique, leapt out, and with a few swift movements, vanished from everyone’s sight.

Jiang Feng was extremely uncomfortable with the feeling of being watched by so many people.

"Strange, why do I suddenly feel so parched?"

After leaving the small town, Jiang Feng noticed his skin was bone dry; even the skin on his lips had cracked open.

He was unbearably, intensely thirsty.

Luckily, he kept a water flask with him. He drank it down in one go, but even after finishing it, the thirst hardly faded. He looked around, spotted a small river over three hundred meters ahead, and went over to fetch water, drinking several large flasks in succession.

Only after that did the dryness in his mouth slowly subside.

"There must be something wrong inside the town."

Jiang Feng frowned, staring back in the direction of the town, but he couldn’t spot anything unusual.

He checked his Fortune Point then.

Fortune: 121112

Jiang Feng realized that after stepping outside the town, his Fortune Point had actually increased by more than three thousand.

He wondered whether the danger was in the town, or at the ruins of the Divine Sect behind it.

Jiang Feng felt confused and curious.

So he made a big detour, arriving behind the small town, and walked toward the Divine Sect. Not long after, he stopped his steps and then turned back to the town entrance.

He checked his Fortune Point again.

Fortune: 131112

The Fortune Point hadn’t changed at all.

Jiang Feng frowned—could the danger be only inside the town? But the people there were mainly commoners; how could they pose a threat to him?

Maybe it was because he deliberately approached danger, so Fortune Point didn’t increase?

"If even a regular person dares to take me there, what danger could the Divine Sect pose, even if it is in ruins? I came all this way—there’s no way I turn back without seeing anything."

Jiang Feng thought carefully, and decided to check it out himself.

Of course, he made full preparations.

This trip was just to investigate.

At any sign of trouble, he’d leave at once.

So he again skirted around Sunset Town, came to the rear side, and moved toward the Divine Sect.

The words of the townsfolk made Jiang Feng very cautious.

As the saying goes, "Ignore an old man’s warning, suffer the consequences."

He didn’t mean to go against the old man; he just wanted to put his mind at ease by seeing what the Divine Sect truly looked like.

However, as he drew closer,

Jiang Feng suddenly had a strange sense of dread in his heart.

And that feeling grew stronger the closer he got.

It was an ominous foreboding.

As a Longevity Practitioner, survival was his first priority. Jiang Feng instinctively stopped, gazing toward the Divine Sect—where the once clear sky suddenly dimmed.

Jiang Feng saw a shadow appear far in the distance.

More accurately, it was a demonic shadow.

A demon shadow that blocked out the sun and sky.

It was like a mountain looming on the horizon, baring its fangs and claws at him, threatening to charge straight toward him. That chilling feeling made Jiang Feng’s spine tingle, and he turned to flee.

He ran back toward the small town.

He unleashed the Three-legged Body Technique.

His speed soared to the limit.

In a single bound, he covered a hundred meters.

He turned into a blur and vanished where he stood.

One hour later.

Jiang Feng returned once again to the town gate.

"How are you not dead yet?"

The old man Jiang Feng had met earlier inside the town was sitting by the gate. Upon seeing Jiang Feng again, his eyes went wide.

"I didn’t dare get close; there’s real danger over there,"

Jiang Feng replied offhand.

He thought the old man was asking how he’d survived the Divine Sect.

"Wait, what did you just say?"

But a moment later, he sensed something off, and quickly faced the old man.

The old man froze, his eyes darted nervously, and he hurried into the town.

"He already went out, how is he still alive?"

Jiang Feng saw that inside the town, many people were peeking out at him, each with bizarre expressions, almost as if they’d seen a ghost.

"Waaaah, Dad!"

"Dad, wake up!"

At that moment, Jiang Feng heard the sounds of crying.

The sobbing came from inside the town.

It was that little girl, Huang Li.

She was lying on the ground inside the town, her eyes looking toward the outside, her hand stretching desperately in this direction.

Jiang Feng followed the direction of her gaze and outstretched hand, and in the near distance, he saw a corpse—a corpse with dried flesh, like it had lost all its moisture. Jiang Feng looked carefully; even though the face was now just stretched skin over bone, he could still make out that the body belonged to Old Huang.

How did he die—and end up like that?

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Jiang Feng shouted angrily.

Staring at the old man running into the town, he summoned his thoughts, and manipulated the Power of Heaven and Earth to yank the old man out from inside the town toward him with a gesture.

"Ahhh!"

"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!"

"Let me go! I can’t leave! If I go out, I’ll die!"

The old man felt as if some invisible hand had grabbed his collar, forcibly dragging him out; he was scared out of his wits, almost ready to collapse from terror, especially as he realized he was getting closer and closer to the town gate, panic overwhelming him, unable to hide it any longer.

"Power of Heaven and Earth fluctuations?"

Two kilometers away.

Liu Jinhu, who’d been chasing all the way from Demon Fang City, sensed long-lost fluctuations of the Power of Heaven and Earth and hurried toward Sunset Town.
