The atmosphere was already tense, and after Qin Feng's words, it became even more so.

Everyone was anxious, cold sweat beading on their foreheads, but they racked their brains and couldn't figure out what it was.

[Time's up, the next selection will be random.]

The cold system prompt gave Di Jun and the others no chance at all.

It was the same as last time, when one person was chosen to be kicked from the group chat.

Ten names appeared before everyone, and then a golden light spot hovered over them, continuously selecting.

It stopped quickly.

Everyone stared intently.

Including Hong Yun and Kunpeng, who were currently in a chase.

They both diverted some of their attention to watch the group chat.

However, when they saw this part of the content.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The person who answered the question was Hong Yun, the only one who had gotten one question right!

Except for the two who had just joined, the others in the group chat didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Because they knew that Hong Yun was currently being hunted by Kunpeng.

He couldn't even deal with Kunpeng chasing him, and now he had to answer the group's question.

Otherwise, who knew what the System might randomly deduct from him, which would be quite amusing.

Hong Yun's face was also extremely ashen, and he shot a hateful glance at Kunpeng behind him.

But Kunpeng was almost laughing out loud.

This made East Prince Gong beside him very helpless. He didn't know what was wrong with Kunpeng lately.

He would inexplicably cry and laugh, or even have sudden fits of anger.

"Hong Yun, this time I'll see where you run."

Kunpeng suddenly erupted, startling East Prince Gong beside him.

"Didn't you say you wanted to conserve your strength and chase slowly? Why are you going all out now?"

East Prince Gong muttered.

But he also unhesitatingly gave chase.

He needed the Primordial Qi too, after all, who didn't want to attain enlightenment?

"You son of a bitch Kunpeng, don't let me get any rewards, or I'll pluck every single one of your bird feathers."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Hong Yun also let out a fierce threat.

He quickly thought about what the Eastern Emperor Bell was called.

He remembered having an impression of it.

The three minutes that usually passed in the blink of an eye now felt like an eternity.

Including the group leader Qin Feng, everyone was quietly waiting for Hong Yun's answer.

But as time passed, Hong Yun, who was still on the run, still hadn't remembered.

Seeing the countdown about to expire.

[10, 9, 8, 7, 6... 3, 2, 1]

In the last second, Hong Yun, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"I remember now. The full name of the Eastern Emperor Bell is the Chaos Bell. It was originally derived from a part of Great God Pangu's body, but it was born alongside Eastern Emperor Taiyi, so it was later renamed the Eastern Emperor Bell."

Everyone in the group chat stared at this answer with wide eyes.

Di Jun: "Why do I feel like it makes some sense, but I can't quite pinpoint what's wrong."

Nuwa: "Forget it, that kid is definitely just guessing. I really don't believe he can answer two questions correctly in a row."

Houtu: "That might not be the case. Perhaps his luck is just better. I feel like someone is being jealous."

Nuwa: "You guy from the Witch Race, what did I ever do to you that you keep targeting me?"

Houtu: "I didn't say anything. If you're the one running into this, can you blame me?"

Nuwa: "..."

Suddenly, a violent fluctuation erupted from Buzhou Mountain, as if it were about to completely destroy the surrounding area.

Within this range, whether human or demon, they all nervously looked up.

With fearful expressions, they looked towards the direction of the mountain peak.

"Houtu, you just wait. Don't let me catch you. When the Witch and Demon races go to war, I will definitely get involved."

Nuwa gritted her teeth fiercely.

He waited for the System's reply.

Jieyin: "Why hasn't the group owner announced the answer yet? I'm dying of anxiety."

"Ahem, what's the rush? Isn't this just to let you chat a bit longer and increase the group's activity? Since you all want to know the answer so badly, I'll tell you."

"The answer is correct. The Eastern Emperor Bell's original name was indeed the Chaos Bell. As for why it was renamed, Hong Yun has already explained it."

Qin Feng answered unhurriedly this time.

It was finally a chance for him to show off.

Because, up to this point, this was the only answer he knew among those previously stated.

That was why he was able to state it before the System even replied.

Kunpeng: "How is this possible? Is this guy's luck really that good? He actually got two questions right in a row."

Kunpeng gritted his teeth in anger.

But then he wasn't so angry anymore, because Hong Yun was now trapped with no escape.

Even if he got the answer right, wouldn't all the rewards he obtained next belong to Kunpeng?

What did he have to fear then?

[Congratulations to Hong Yun for answering correctly. Detected that Hong Yun is in a life-or-death crisis. The reward can be switched to a life-saving magical treasure.]

Looking at this message in the group chat.

All eleven people, including Qin Feng, were stunned.

Even the group owner, Qin Feng, didn't know what the System was trying to do.

Because he had never seen the System act so humanly. It had directly turned hostile towards him, its own master.

How could it be so kind to others?

"I agree! I don't want the reward anymore, just quickly give me the life-saving magical treasure."

"I am willing to exchange a million years of my cultivation and these ten immortal herbs for it."

As he spoke, Hong Yun had already taken out ten immortal herbs.

The System, which had been silent until now, quickly completed the transaction upon seeing the reward.

[Reward switched successfully. Hong Yun has been deducted one million years of cultivation.]

[Hong Yun's condition has been restored to its current peak state, and he has obtained the one-time use life-saving magical treasure, Myriad Miles of Clouds.]

And Hong Yun, who was in the midst of escaping, had his face pale just moments ago.

As soon as the System's voice fell, all his conditions had miraculously recovered to their peak.

Even the mouthfuls of vital blood he had previously spat out were completely restored.

Of course, excluding the deduction of a million years of cultivation.

More importantly, a cluster of seven-colored clouds appeared in his hand.

Hong Yun could feel that he could use this cluster of clouds to escape at any moment.

But at this moment, he wasn't in a hurry anymore.

Because he wanted to see Kunpeng's enraged expression.

He immediately turned back.

Kunpeng was so furious that smoke was coming out of his ears. He no longer knew what expression to use to deal with the situation before him.

If only he had known, he would have paid a price to snatch the question and chase after Hong Yun.

The reward obtained from this question was far too inferior compared to the Primordial Qi.

"Kunpeng, I'll remember today's grudge. I will definitely repay it a hundredfold in the future, if you are still alive then."

Hong Yun, having successfully witnessed Kunpeng's furious appearance, sneered.

He then unhesitatingly activated the colorful clouds in his hand.

Transforming into a beam of light, he vanished directly before their eyes.
