Chapter 249: The Witch Clan’s Stronghold

Ye Feng didn’t ask further about Lin Han’s affairs—after all, it was Fat’s personal matter. If he refused to reveal even his adopted son, it must be extremely important. Asking would be pointless and only add to Fat’s troubles.
Instead, Fat took the initiative to speak. “My name is Lin Hong. Fat is just a pseudonym I used to hide my whereabouts. Back then, when I sealed myself in that state, it was also to conceal my true identity.”
“In the Immortal Realm, I was the commander of the enforcers, at the peak of the Xuanxian realm, just one step away from the Juexian realm. By chance, I adopted nine orphans—seven boys and two girls. I raised them myself, teaching them cultivation methods and the principles of being a person…”
“In the Heavenly Realm, due to my special status, I had many women, but no children of my own. I treated those nine as my own children. So when my existence became a threat to them, I had to leave.”
“They could only survive if they remained in the dark; otherwise, they would be dragged down with me and suffer complete destruction. They might not even get a chance for reincarnation.” Fat shook his head helplessly.
“Is there something wrong with Jiuyou?” Ye Feng immediately grasped the key issue.
“Jiuyou the Immortal Emperor has been killed!” Sorrow flashed in Fat’s eyes. “I discovered this incident while investigating a case.”
“But what about Lin Han…?” Ye Feng felt the situation was contradictory.
“Jiuyou has a twin brother. The current Jiuyou is not the real one! It’s that demon emperor—Jiuming—who killed his own brother!” Fat finally revealed everything. “It’s because I discovered this that he wants to kill me to silence me.”
“A pair of twins, one an immortal emperor and the other a demon emperor?” Ye Feng found this rather strange.
“Immortal and demon twins! Though rare, such things do happen!” Fat nodded. “Their parents were originally powerful cultivators, and if one of them was a demon cultivator, there’s a chance this outcome would occur.”
“Why did you decide to tell me?” Ye Feng asked curiously.
“If I perish, at least you’ll know the truth…” Fat didn’t continue.
“You’re not going to be killed so easily!” Ye Feng reassured him with a smile.

“I’m not afraid of ten thousand possibilities, but just one. Who knows what might happen in the future?” Fat’s attitude seemed somewhat pessimistic.
Ye Feng obediently shut his mouth and stopped discussing the issue further.
“By the way, regarding the Witch Clan, Lilith asked her friend for help before going into seclusion. Her friend is investigating, and we should get results in a couple of days. She’ll contact me directly then.”
“That’s good.” Seeing that Fat had finally changed the subject, Ye Feng didn’t bring up the previous matter anymore.
“I watched Xiao Yu’s promotion ceremony this time too. I’m heading back now!” With that, Fat disappeared from Ye Feng’s sight.
Ye Feng glanced at the two beast companions who had shrunk to miniature size and were standing on his shoulder. “Let’s go too!”
……
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
One day, Ye Feng finally received news from Fat.
“Blade, we’ve found the Witch Clan’s gathering place!” Fat’s voice came through the communicator.
Ye Feng was surprised to hear this. “Really? Where?”
“It’s on Wood Planet, which is about two hundred planets away from Agri Planet!” Fat added, “I heard that over 95% of that planet is covered in vegetation, with towering trees everywhere.”
“Can you give me the exact coordinates?” Ye Feng asked. “I plan to set off right away.”
“Kasdiou and the others will emerge from seclusion tomorrow. Don’t you need to wait for them to go together?” Fat asked.
“No need. I can handle Dil’s matter alone!” Ye Feng shook his head. “Let Kasdiou and Lilith stay behind to help you track down the key! I’ll just take Xiao Yu and Xiao Bei with me.”
“That works too!” Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Fat agreed. “The coordinates of that planet are XXXX.XXXX.XXXX. Come back as soon as you finish this!”
“I will!” Ye Feng nodded.
After hanging up, Ye Feng looked at the two beast companions beside him. “There’s work to be done!”
Using the coordinates provided by Fat, Ye Feng rushed there via Interstellar Teleportation. After five teleportations, he finally arrived at his destination.
Ye Feng floated above the planet and rested for a while. It was the first time he had used Interstellar Teleportation consecutively. Both the energy consumed and the strain on his body required time to recover, not to mention carrying two pet beasts as well.

However, this was also a good opportunity for him to take in the full view of this planet.
“Wow, a green planet—this must be it!” Bernard couldn’t help but exclaim in awe at the planet before him. He had heard before that the destination planet had over 95% green coverage, and among all the planets around, only this one was covered in green.
Ye Feng nodded. “It should be this one—Wood Planet!”
“This planet is so huge!” Xiao Yu exclaimed in surprise. “It’s more than ten times larger than Agri Planet!”
“That’s right. Wood Planet is 23 times the size of Agri Planet!” Ye Feng nodded. By now, he had finally caught his breath and said to the two beasts, “Let’s go down!”
The next moment, Ye Feng appeared on this planet along with the two beasts.
As soon as their feet touched the ground, everything they saw was a sea of green, leaving Ye Feng and the two beasts in awe. The grass stretched as far as the eye could see, and the fresh scent of plants filled the air, prompting Ye Feng to take a deep breath.
“People who live here must live many more years!” Ye Feng couldn’t help but sigh. “But how can I find the location of the Witch Clan in such a place?”
Just as he posed this question to himself, a noise came from not far away.
Hearing this noise, Ye Feng leaped onto a large tree and hid among its lush branches, wanting to see who was coming and what they intended.
In just a moment, a group of men and women in robes appeared where Ye Feng had stood earlier. There were six of them—four men and two women—all dressed in purple robes.
They stopped at the spot where Ye Feng had been standing. Ye Feng watched them curiously, trying to figure out their purpose.
Unexpectedly, one of the older-looking men looked up and called toward where Ye Feng was hiding, “Mr. Ye, we are the Witch Clan members you’re looking for. We’ve come to take you back to our stronghold.”
Ye Feng was somewhat surprised. They knew he was coming at this time and even knew about his life—this was rather strange. After hesitating for a moment, he finally revealed himself. After all, he now had the strength of a Spirit Immortal, and Xiao Yu and Xiao Bei were also strong. Those people were only at the Tribulation stage, posing almost no threat to him.

“How did you know I arrived here, and how did you know my name?” Ye Feng looked at the six of them with a dark expression.
“It’s the Great Prophecy Art of our clan leader!” The older man had a dark complexion, and the forced smile he wore was even uglier than crying, though he seemed somewhat simple-minded.
“The Great Prophecy Art?” Hearing this name, Ye Feng had a rough idea of what it was. “Is such a thing really exist?”
“Yeah, it’s a secret art passed down from generation to generation by our shaman clan’s leader! Only the leader is qualified to learn it!” The man nodded.
“What else do you know about me?” Ye Feng wanted more evidence to confirm that they weren’t trying to deceive him.
“The clan leader knew you would ask this question, so he told us quite a bit about you!” The man smiled. “Your real name is Ye Feng. You grew up in a place called Earth, which is what people in the cultivation world call Water Blue Planet. You were raised in an orphanage from a young age…”
Ye Feng had never mentioned any of this to anyone since arriving on this cultivation planet; only those few companions who left Earth with him knew about it.
“No need to continue. I’ll go with you. I suppose you already know why I’m here!” Ye Feng interrupted him.
“That’s right. The Grand Elder said you came here to help our shaman clan protect the secret scriptures! A demon named Dier will come to steal them and might even slaughter all of us shaman clan members.” The older man nodded simply. “That’s why the clan leader sent us six elders to welcome you.”
“Since your Grand Elder predicted this, does that mean he’s definitely coming?” Ye Feng asked, somewhat surprised.
“The future isn’t fixed.” The older man shook his head and smiled. “A person’s future isn’t just one path; there are countless choices and roads. Every different choice affects the future.”
After hearing the elder’s words, Ye Feng fell into deep thought. “There are countless possibilities in the future. It all depends on one’s own choices…”
After a while, he shook his head and smiled to himself. “This trip to the shaman clan will surely bring me some unexpected surprises…”
