Chapter 311: Bright Red and Unlucky Border Guards…
A few days before Feng Chen and Zu Fei arrived back at the Flying Sword Sect, both of them had just managed to make it out of the Burning Mountain Range. The only problem being the fact that they were not inside of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, but instead another kingdom that was adjacent to the Burning Mountain Range like the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.
This would have been fine and all if it was just a normal kingdom similar to the Heavenly Sky Kingdom… But they were not that lucky and had instead stumbled upon one of the stronger kingdoms under the Sky Empire with someone in the Domain Lord Realm in it!
“The Crystal Sky Kingdom… The only kingdom with a Domain Lord in it close to our Flying Sword Sect…” Showing a shocked expression on his face when he noticed the uniforms of the nearby border soldiers, Feng Chen could not help exclaiming in surprise.
Feng Chen didn’t know about all the kingdoms with Domain Lords in the Sky Empire, but at the very least he knew about a few that were nearby. The Crystal Sky Kingdom being the closest, was therefore also the kingdom with a Domain Lord that he knew the most about!
“Who are you guys!? What are you doing here?”
Hearing the booming voice calling out from a small outpost located at the border between the Crystal Sky Kingdom and the Burning Mountain Range, Feng Chen could not help but feel a wave of fear roll over him.
The main reason for this was because he knew how intolerant the Crystal Sky Kingdom was to anyone at the Nascent Soul Realm daring to enter their kingdom without permission. Even if it was by accident, they would in most cases kill them if they did not have a sufficient backing…
The Crystal Sky Kingdom was strong and was a kingdom with someone in the Domain Lord Realm, but more importantly than that, it was a really small kingdom, and they had a lot of Nascent Soul Realm Experts… Just by numbers alone, they easily had a few hundred Nascent Soul Realm Experts, with most of the stationed around the border to prevent any unwelcome guest from entering.
Watching as the Nascent Soul Realm Expert that had called out to them made his way over, Feng Chen prepared to make a run for it as he secretly informed Zu Fei.
Whoosh!
In the distance, at least another five or so auras at the Nascent Soul Realm, ranging between the middle and later stages, could be felt making their way over towards them.
“Hah…”
Letting out a depressed sigh as he realized just how dangerous their situation would be, Feng Chen and Zu Fei both prepared to run back into the Burning Mountain Range to escape the Nascent Soul Realm Experts from the Crystal Sky Kingdom!
BOOM!
ROAR!
“Wha-what is that!?”
The guard coming over to meet them, along with the group of Nascent Soul Realm Experts making their way over to make sure their friend would be safe. All looked on with a shocked and terrified expression, as a bright red light suddenly appeared deep in the Burning Mountain Range. Followed by a terrifying roar that instantly caused all of them to fall weakly onto the ground. Feng Chen and Zu Fei were no different. Only capable of looking over in the direction of the bright light erupting from the depths of the Burning Mountain Range.
Time seemed to come to a halt as nobody, be it the guards at the Nascent Soul Realm, or Feng Chen and Zu Fei, were able to move for what felt like hours before they slowly began to regain movement again.
Still staring in the direction of the bright red light in the depths of the Burning Mountain Range, that only seemed to increase more with each passing second.
“Let’s get out of here before they notice!” Hearing someone whispering into his ear, Feng Chen forced his vision away from the bright red light and looked over at Zu Fei urging him to leave.
“Indeed… We should not stay around for any longer. The event has most likely already attracted the Domain Lord of the Crystal Sky Kingdom…”
Nodding his head in agreement to what Zu Fei had said, Feng Chen and Zu Fei took advantage of the Nascent Soul Real border guard still having their full attention on the bright red light in the distance. Quietly making their way past them before heading back in the direction of the Flying Sword Sect.
Trying their best to avoid the guards along the border as they snuck through the Crystal Sky Kingdom.
Only when reaching the border of the Crystal Sky Kingdom and another neighbouring kingdom, did they have to make a run for it, as both of them charged forward through the border. Instantly alerting the Nascent Soul Realm Experts hiding along the border.
“Who are you!?”
“State your identity or we will attack!”
“They are spies! Kill them!”
Several Nascent Soul Realm Experts soon appeared to block them, but Feng Chen and Zu Fei could care less about fighting them.
Launching only a single attack to block the first wave of attacks before running straight past them. Escaping into the nearby kingdom.
…
“Hm? What is this…?”
The border guard on the other side, was only a group of soldiers at the Foundation Establishment Realm and a single person at the early stages of the Core Formation Realm.
Boom Boom Boom!
All he manged to see was several bright flashes of light heading straight past him, as explosions suddenly appeared left and right. Killing a few of his unlucky Foundation Establishment soldiers.
“W-we are under attack-”
The Core Formation Realm border guard did not manage to say anything more, as the bright flashes of light. Along with the explosions, had already disappeared. Only leaving behind a few dozen pits surrounding his army camp, so as to validate the fact that what he saw really happened…

And after that day, a certain border guard at the Core Formation Realm decided to quit his job as a border guard at what had been known as the most peaceful border of his kingdom…
