Chapter 341: Advancing North
The white snow on Glacial Cloud Peak never melted, covering the eaves of the ancestral hall completely. The flickering candlelight cast a dim glow around the hall, and for the first time since he began his cultivation, Fei Tongyu felt cold.
He was alone, shivering on the ground weakly.
Before him lay the corpse of his grandfather, Fei Wangbai, in a coffin. As a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, his flesh did not decay, appearing just as he did in life, though slightly paler. His eyes were tightly shut, as if just in a slumber.
Fei Tongyu could hardly believe that his grandfather had passed away so abruptly. It felt unreal, almost like he was in a dream—or a nightmare.
On the day news arrived that Li Tongya had slain the Maha Reincarnate, the smile on Fei Wangbai's face vanished. With his eldest son Fei Yihe away in the southern border, he could only hold his eldest grandson Fei Tongyu's hand and say solemnly, "Yu Yufeng is likely dead… Li Chejing probably killed him. The Li Family's power is growing too strong, which is not a good thing."
Fei Yihe's departure disrupted Fei Wangbai's plans, so he had to start over in grooming Fei Tongyu. Fortunately, Fei Tongyu was diligent and hardworking, and it still was not too late.
While they were talking, the door was gently pushed open and a man in white entered, his face covered with a veil. Fei Wangbai's expression changed slightly as he asked, "Who are you?"
The white-clad sword cultivator said nothing, simply glancing at the two men, then drew his sword and attacked.
Although the Fei Family's Cloud Gathering Southern Heaven Formation was not fully activated, it was not something anyone could easily penetrate. However, this person moved like a ghost, his sword techniques ethereal and transcendent… clearly at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
