Chapter 986: The Crows Caw When The Moon Goes Down!
Lin Feng looked at Hua Zhang Feng. Lin Feng didn’t understand what was going on.
“Eh?” Lin Feng looked at the siblings. They were both looking at him strangely. They didn’t understand.
“They didn’t hear it.” thought Lin Feng. He was the only one who had heard the dragon chant.
“Yan Di, did you hear anything?” asked Lin Feng using telepathy. He wanted to make sure.
Qiong Qi looked at him and said, “I haven’t heard anything. What did you hear, little boy.”
“The dragon chant.” said Lin Feng. He had nothing to hide from Qiong Qi. Qiong Qi was surprised, Lin Feng had heard a dragon chant?
“It’s nothing. I suddenly thought about something important, that’s all.” said Lin Feng to Hua Zhang Feng smiling. He didn’t want to tell them he had heard the dragon chant. It was better to keep some things secret, he trusted that they wouldn’t ask anyways.
Hua Zhang Feng was skeptical, but thought it wouldn’t be polite to ask for more information. He just looked back at the tower. There were many people flocking to the tower.
“Little boy, are you sure you really heard a dragon chant?” asked Qiong Qi in a grave and serious way. Dragons were imperial creatures.
“I’m not sure.” said Lin Feng shaking his head.
“You’re not sure?” asked Qiong Qi.
“I’ve never heard anything like that, so I can’t be sure. But my body started shaking and my blood was boiling. It felt like my body was going to explode. It felt like… blood strength!” said Lin Feng.
“You’ve never had that kind of feeling before?”
“Never.” replied Lin Feng immediately.
“Your blood is very weak.” said Qiong Qi. Because Lin Feng’s blood wasn’t strong enough, the dragon chant had caused a painful reaction in Lin Feng’s body. Even those who had poor blood could have powerful reactions if the cause was intense enough.
“What type is your blood strength?” asked Qiong Qi.
“I don’t know. I’ve heard that my mother’s ancestor was a Zun cultivator who had swallowed the strength of a nine-headed dragon. Then, he turned it into blood strength before transmitting it to us as the nine-headed dragon spirit.” replied Lin Feng.
“The nine-headed dragon!” Qiong Qi’s eyes were twinkling. “No wonder your blood is so weak. Your ancestor was a Zun cultivator, but since you have the nine-headed dragon blood strength, you reacted to the dragon chant. However, it wasn’t a long chant, because anyone can hear those.”
“Oh!” Lin Feng understood. A small shout like that had already caused him to react in quite a strong way though.
Lin Feng looked at the Black Crow Tower. The cultivators who were going there had probably reacted like him. But they were probably stronger than him and didn’t react so strongly. With a strong blood, cultivators could do things like Prince Tian Lin and Chou Jun Luo, like directly mixing their blood strength with their spirit.
“Brother Lin, something is happening.” said Hua Zhang Feng.
“Indeed.” Lin Feng nodded. Even more people were approaching. They had probably heard the dragon chant before so they were going there now.
Anything could happen so people thought staying together was safer.
“Woo…”
Lin Feng started shaking and his blood started boiling again. Another dragon chant. That one was more intense than the one before.
Lin Feng hid his reaction this time so Hua Zhang Feng didn’t notice anything. “Brother Lin, there are so many strong cultivators going there, should we go as well?”
“Why not? Yes, let’s go. Those strong cultivators don’t care about us.” said Lin Feng calmly even though his heart was pounding violently. Two dragon chants, was something happening?
“Zhang Feng!” shouted someone at that moment. Lin Feng and Hua Zhang Feng raised their heads and saw several people who all looked extraordinary.
“Brothers, you’re here already.” said Hua Zhang Feng.
“Zhang Feng, there were two dragon chants. Something might happen. You should leave with your sister, it’s too dangerous for you guys.” said someone in the sky and then left. Hua Zhang Feng was surprised, two dragon chants?
Hua Zhang Feng looked at Lin Feng, he was going to say something.
“Brother Hua, wouldn’t it be a pity not to see what’s going on there?” said Lin Feng with an indifferent smile. “Of course, if you want to leave, I’ll go alone.”
“Haha, you’re brave. How could I disappoint you.” said Hua Zhang Feng with a nice smile. They continued moving forwards.
Lin Feng smiled but remained speechless. Lin Feng heard a third dragon chant and his reaction was the same as before.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became eerily calm.
A pale light appeared. Lin Feng raised his head and saw people gathering in front of the moon.
“Kraa… kraa…” crows cawed and flew away from the tower.
“What’s going on?” said Hua Zhang Feng.
“What’s wrong?” asked Lin Feng.
Hua Zhang Feng looked at Lin Feng and said slowly, “The crows caw when the moon goes down.”
“The crows caw when the moon goes down?” Lin Feng frowned. He didn’t understand what Hua Zhang Feng meant.
“Brother Lin, when dragons chant in the middle of the night, it is an auspicious sign, it means good things will happen. When the crows caw when the moon goes down, it is an inauspicious sign, it means death.” explained Hua Zhang Feng. He looked grave, “Tonight, the dragons are chanting and the crows are cawing, that sounds like a battle between good and evil.”
“I’m not familiar with those expressions…” whispered Lin Feng. Could those expressions be taken seriously anyway?
“Indeed. In the past, people firmly believed those sayings. It’s about cultivators fighting against the Earth and sky.” explained Hua Zhang Feng. “Oh, it comes from the antiquity. Two forces emerging from the night.”
Lin Feng looked at Qiong Qi.
“Indeed.” Qiong Qi nodded. Even an emperor believed in those things. Lin Feng felt excited, impatient and scared at the same time. What was going to happen?
At that moment, the boat arrived on the land surrounding the tower. There were so many strong cultivators gathered there!
