Chapter 215 Hometown Falls, Things Have Changed (Please Subscribe)

Time flies.

Six years have passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Yang Feng finished his cultivation and learned from the steward that his cousin Yang Yu had passed away.

"Alas, another loved one has passed away."

Yang Feng sighed inwardly, and then went with his sister Yang Ningning to his cousin's house to pay their respects.

"Uncle, Aunt..."

"Grandpa, Great-Aunt..."

The two arrived at a funeral hall near Yang Yu's house, where a large group of Yang Yu's descendants were kneeling and bowing in unison.

A rough estimate puts the number at least two to three hundred people.

Many of them looked even older than Yang Feng.

"Everyone get up!"

Yang Feng glanced at everyone and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Unexpectedly, his cousin, who had only lived for a little over a hundred years, had already fathered so many descendants.

I dare not imagine how many descendants I will have after I marry and have children, and after hundreds or even thousands of years of reproduction.

"Master Yang, long time no see!"

After Yang Feng finished offering incense to his cousin and walked out of the ancestral hall, he saw many acquaintances from his hometown who had known him before gather around and greet him politely.

Yang Feng looked at the crowd, although he hadn't seen many of them for years.

But from the slightly aged facial features of the group, Yang Feng recognized their identities at a glance.

Among the crowd that came up to greet him were several acquaintances he had met in his hometown of Yunshi Immortal City, whose cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, such as Xu Yonghui, Xue Hai, Liu Yuanzhi, Chen Yuwen, and others.

Although Yang Feng had less contact with these people since he entered the Jingdu Xiancheng Zhengfa Academy for further studies decades ago.

However, over the past few decades, Xu Yonghui, Xue Hai, Liu Yuanzhi, and others, despite seeing Yang Feng's cultivation level and status in Xia Kingdom rise higher and higher, have always maintained some contact with him.

Especially during holidays or Yang Feng's birthday, they would send him messages to congratulate him.

And from time to time, she would send Yang Feng some local specialties from her hometown.

However, they also knew that Yang Feng's status and position were no longer what they used to be, so they all knew their place and did not take the initiative to visit him or disturb his cultivation unless Yang Feng invited them.

Every year, Yang Feng receives congratulations from them, as well as local specialties sent from his hometown. Sometimes, when he's in a good mood, he'll reply to them and express his gratitude.

And over the years, I have helped them several times within my own capabilities.

For example, more than 30 years ago, after his master, Mingwu Zhenjun, "passed away," their Xia Kingdom broke out into war with several neighboring countries, and a large number of middle and lower-level cultivators and generals needed to be recruited to guard the border immortal cities.

At that time, Xue Hai, Xu Yonghui, and others had all approached Yang Feng.

With the help of Yang Feng's connections, he was transferred to a relatively safe position in one of the immortal cities of the Xia Kingdom.

This saved them from being sent to the border immortal city to serve as cannon fodder.

More than a decade ago, as many of their Xia Kingdom's immortal city territories were occupied by several neighboring countries, even their hometown, Yunshi Immortal City, was occupied by the Wuqi Kingdom three years ago.

Xu Yonghui, Xue Hai, and others also moved to Kyoto Xiancheng with the help and arrangements of Yang Yu and Liao Xianwei, thanks to Yang Feng's connections.

Furthermore, after they all moved to Xiancheng in Kyoto, Xu Yonghui and others became much closer to his cousin and other relatives. Therefore, when Yang Yu passed away, Xu Yonghui, Xue Hai, and others came to pay their respects.

Yang Feng chose to help them.

Aside from remembering our past friendship and not wanting to see friends I've known for many years die in the war.

The main reason is that, given his current status and position, helping them is just a small matter that requires no effort.

After all, Yang Feng was not the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person.

Especially in this world of cultivation where personal power is concentrated in one person, Yang Feng is not worried that using his power to help people he knows will affect his future prospects.

Therefore, within his power, anyone who had ever had some connection with him would come to him for help.

And he will help with any request that isn't too unreasonable.

Since he had come to pay his respects to his cousin, Yang Feng couldn't leave immediately. So, after offering incense to his cousin, Yang Feng, at the arrangement of a nephew, went to Yang Yu's house and sat down, chatting with Xu Yonghui and others for a while.

Through casual conversation, Yang Feng learned that some acquaintances he had met in Yunshi Immortal City, such as Xu Yonggui, Chen Minghua, and Fan Wei, had all passed away because their cultivation had not been able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Even Luo Weixiang, the former city lord of Yunshi Immortal City, and Cai Chengshen, the deputy city lord, and many other Foundation Establishment cultivators have passed away.

Furthermore, due to the fact that they hadn't seen each other for many years, and that Yang Feng's cultivation level and status were now far superior to Xu Yonghui and the others, they were now in a difficult situation.

Yang Feng could clearly sense that Xu Yonghui and the others were all very polite and reserved in front of him.

They couldn't even find many common topics to talk about, which caused the atmosphere to suddenly become awkward after a few moments of casual conversation...

Yang Feng noticed that Xu Yonghui and the others appeared unusually reserved and awkward in front of him.

Knowing the nature of their relationship, they could never go back to the ease and comfort they once had.

After chatting with the group for a while, Yang Feng and Yang Ningning got up to say goodbye and left.

"Take care, Uncle!"

"Take care, Master Yang..."

Seeing Yang Feng get up to leave, Xu Yonghui and the others did not dare to stop him and all got up to see him off.

They were feeling very conflicted at that moment.

When they learned of Yang Yu's death, they guessed that Yang Feng would most likely come to pay his respects, and they were all looking forward to it. They also wanted to take this opportunity to see Yang Feng again and get closer to him.

However, when they actually met Yang Feng, and considering his current status and position, they were all somewhat at a loss.

In the end, it ended in an awkward situation.

"I've heard that cultivators who achieve the Immortal Golden Core stage can live to be at least five or six hundred years old, and they have a great chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and becoming the future leader of the Xia Kingdom."

"Unfortunately, although we have all broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, we are all quite old now, and at most we only have a few decades left to live."

"It's highly likely that I won't be able to witness the day when Yang Feng achieves Nascent Soul status."

Xu Yonghui and his companions watched Yang Feng's departing figure, recalling the various rumors they had heard about him over the years. It was said that Yang Feng was the most promising Nascent Soul seed in their Xia Kingdom to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, and their hearts were filled with envy.

They really wanted to see Yang Feng break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and become the next leader of their Xia Kingdom.

However, when they realized that they only had a few decades left to live, they couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

They even thought in their hearts that this was probably the last time they would see Yang Feng.
