The Heir of the Celestial Diagram

Chapter 26: Han Feng's Choice

Han Feng knew that if he revealed his presence at that moment, he could lose the only advantage he had: his enemies' ignorance about his true strength. He remained motionless, absorbing every word spoken inside the cave.

— If he is really the heir, we can't wait much longer. We need to ensure that he is on our side before the Shadow Sect makes its move.

The voice was firm and determined, but there was a tone of urgency. The other figure hesitated before responding.

— I agree, but how will we approach him without him suspecting? He has been out of the cult's sight for a long time. If he is as cautious as they say, he may have already noticed our presence.

Han Feng suppressed a cold laugh. "They underestimate my vigilance... and overestimate their discretion."

He needed to make a decision. He could try to enter the cave and confront the mysterious individuals or remain in the darkness, observing and gathering information.

Decided to wait.

With his Celestial Veil Art, Han Feng further concealed his presence, becoming practically undetectable. He stayed there for hours, listening to fragments of conversation that confirmed those people knew something about his past and his connection to the Celestial Diagram.

When night fell again, one of the individuals left the cave. Han Feng narrowed his eyes and followed his silhouette in the darkness. The man descended the mountains towards a nearby village.

Taking the chance, Han Feng slipped into the cave without a sound.

What he found inside made him hold his breath.

In the center of the cave, an ancient structure was carved into the rock. Ancient symbols glowed faintly, emitting an aura that resonated with his own Qi. It was an altar... and on it was a fragment of the Celestial Diagram.

Han Feng approached, his mind buzzing with questions.

"Why is this fragment here?" And why do these people know about me?

Her heart raced.

He was closer to the truth than ever. But also closer to danger.
