My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 522: Identity of the Northern Ghost Head



So similar to whom?

Qin Feng was confused.

“Who are you?” the heroic woman asked.

“I am Qin Feng, I came here to find Lord Wine God because I have something important to report.”

The heroic woman didn’t answer, but instead scrutinised Qin Feng from head to toe, her eyes gradually brightening.

This face, these features, this expression, all bore a striking resemblance to the person from years ago.

‘Judging from his appearance, he seems to be around twenty years old, not far from the time when that person disappeared. Could he really be his son?’ the woman speculated in her heart.

Seeing the commander’s complex expression, Qin Feng called out again, “Lord Wine God?”

“Do not call me Lord Wine God, my name is Fu Ruoyun, you can call me Senior Fu. Let me ask you, who is your father?” Fu Ruoyun stared at Qin Feng, her eyes filled with some expectation and some nervousness.

Qin Feng looked curious but answered truthfully, “My father’s name is Qin Jian’an, a third-tier auxiliary general currently residing in the Imperial City.”

“Qin Jian’an, third-tier auxiliary general.” Fu Ruoyun was taken aback. She wasn’t sure if this person was the Northern Ghost Head from before.

When she first took office as the Western Region Commander, she had received kindness and guidance from the Northern Ghost Head, but she had never learned his real name under the mask.

After the Northern Ghost Head suppressed the uprising of powerful demons and ghosts in the northern region, he disappeared without a trace.

People thought that Northern Ghost Head was dead, but she firmly believed that the incredibly powerful Northern Ghost Head could not have died like that.

Even though the commander of the northern region had changed, she felt that perhaps Northern Ghost Head was just tired of the days of fighting and killing and wanted to retire. 

In the time that followed, she asked many people in the Northern Territory, but she didn’t hear a single word about Northern Ghost Head.

Even the Southern Region Commander Nan Tianlong, who had a close relationship with Northern Ghost Head, mentioned that he hadn’t seen him since.

Since then, the sense of happiness in her heart has faded, leaving only memories and sorrow.

Until today, when she saw a youth so similar to Northern Ghost Head, the flame of hope in her heart was rekindled.

“Do you… know about Northern Ghost Head?” Fu Ruoyun asked again.

“The famous Southern Nan Tianlong, Northern Ghost Head, of course I’ve heard of him. But to say that I know him is far from the truth.” 

“However, when I was living in Jinyang City in the Southern Territory, I once received help from Northern Ghost Head, and I am deeply grateful to him,” Qin Feng said earnestly.

These words came from the bottom of his heart. During his trip to Qiyuan City, he might not have survived the ghost disaster in Jinyang City if it wasn’t for the Northern Ghost Head’s intervention.

His heartfelt answer reached Fu Ruoyun’s ears, causing her to be shaken.

Northern Ghost Head hadn’t died after all! And the reason there had been no news of him in the Northern Territory was simply because he had gone to the Southern Territory!

As she looked at the black-robed youth in front of her, the appearance of Northern Ghost Head she had seen before seemed to overlap with him.

With two individuals so similar, and Northern Ghost Head and this young man appearing in the same place, the answer seemed obvious.

Excited, Fu Ruoyun was about to ask more questions, but at that moment, the badly injured Golden-winged Peng let out a roar.

With its golden feathers damaged and its wings covered in blood, the Peng flapped its wings against the ground as if trying to fly again!

A violent gust of wind mixed with the hard feathers like sharp blades swept in.

Fu Ruoyun casually waved her right hand and dispelled the Peng’s attack.

With a furrowed brow, she looked away and said, “Golden Feather Bird, originally, you could have retreated and stopped fighting for the Dragon Vein. Considering that you have never harmed humans before, I could spare your life. But since you remain stubborn, it is your own fault.”

As her words fell, Fu Ruoyun clenched her right fist, seemingly ready to strike down the Golden-winged Peng.

But at that moment, Qin Feng once again noticed the pleading and sad look in Peng’s eyes and hastily said, “Senior Fu, please wait. I don’t think this is Peng’s intention. He may not be acting on his own will.”

“Why do you say that?” Fu Ruoyun asked curiously.

Qin Feng then explained everything that had happened and his speculations about it.

“The current appearance of the Golden-winged Peng is probably related to the black qi in its eyes. If possible, I’d like to take a closer look and see if there’s a way to restore it to its original state,” Qin Feng said after much thought.

“No, it’s too dangerous,” the three women present voiced their concerns almost unanimously.

Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan looked at the determined woman curiously, wondering why she was so nervous about Qin Feng’s safety.

Qin Feng solemnly said, “The enemy has a very big plan for this disaster in the western regions.”

“Now, many demons and ghosts in the western regions have begun to riot. On the surface, it appears that they are after the unoccupied Dragon Vein territory.”

“However, the elders should also consider that even if some demon kings and ghost kings covet the Dragon Vein territory, don’t those weaker monsters and ghosts know that they don’t have the capital to fight for it?”

“Why are they rushing forward, as if they are deliberately seeking death?”

“Besides, according to the elder, this Golden-Winged Great Peng was not an evil beast before, or else the elder would not have considered making it their mount.”

“If the cause of its drastic change in character could be found, perhaps it could prevent the rebellion of other demons and ghosts in the Western Regions”.

In the midst of the painful struggle, the Golden-Winged Great Peng heard this and let out a sob.

With his power, he had long been spiritually connected and able to speak human language. However, its current state was extremely confused, with no ability to express its thoughts, only violent instincts and a little remaining rationality.

Qin Feng looked at Liu Jianli and said, “Wife, retract the Vigor Qi barrier.”

“With you and the senior here, even if Great Peng suddenly goes berserk, it will be difficult for him to harm me.”

Liu Jianli thought for a moment and silently retracted the Vigor Qi Barrier.

Qin Feng slowly approached the Golden-Winged Great Peng, with the two women guarding his side.

Fu Ruoyun, feeling uneasy, snapped her fingers and the Vigor Qi turned into a large net, enveloping the Great Peng and rendering it unable to move.

Is this the realm where one can understand and control Vigor Qi to the extreme?

After the shock, Qin Feng looked at the giant bird in front of him, took a deep breath, and slowly placed his palm on the Great Peng’s forehead.

When the two collided, the Black Qi in the Peng bird’s eyes surged and it emitted a sharp screech.

However, due to Commander Fu Ruoyun’s Vigor Qi restraint, the Peng bird couldn’t move at all.

At the same time, the black qi unexpectedly flowed along the palm of Qin Feng’s hand and began to enter Qin Feng’s body.

The others were all shocked to see this scene.

Liu Jianli quickly intervened and pulled Qin Feng away.

However, the black qi had already wrapped around him.

In Qin Feng’s mind, a black shadow suddenly appeared, and upon closer inspection, it was indeed Mao Yin!

The black qi obscured his vision.

There seems to be a voice in his ears that was constantly tempting him to rob and kill.

This was a method that targeted the soul, capable of destroying will and controlling others.

Qin Feng could now confirm that the changes in most of the demons and ghosts in the western regions, as well as the changes in the Golden-winged Peng, were all due to Mao Yin’s interference!
