Sushang quickly composed herself, her mind still agitated from what had just happened. After a moment's thought, she shook her head meaningfully. "No one comes here without a reason!"
I think so too!
Xie Feng chuckled, then looked at Bai Mo, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Sharing is just a pretense; you're really up to something, aren't you?"
Bai Mo replied curtly, "I don't know. I'm just a messenger. I guess the Realm Lord means that you can go or not, but it's best to go so you can chat and banter."
Xie Feng laughed, "It sounds like you're spreading rumors, but upon closer inspection, this might actually be Lu Yinjian's true thought. It's just that you've blurted out this hidden thought without any restraint... Most people wouldn't think of this. You're serious about stirring up trouble."
Bai Mo scratched his head. "Sorry, I can't tell if Sect Leader Xie is praising me or insulting me..."
"Of course I'm praising you. I admire your integrity and sincerity. Despite your high position, you have not a trace of worldly sophistication; that's truly rare!"
Xie Feng praised sincerely.
Bai Mo was stunned.
Everyone thinks he's too straightforward and stupid; besides having a little bit of fighting ability, he's nothing!
Unexpectedly, he received such high praise from Xie Feng, which touched his heart so deeply!
This person understands him!
Bai Mo's eyes sparkled, revealing the excitement of a thoroughbred horse meeting its discerning owner.
He stammered, "Then, then, then you..."
Xie Feng waved his hand dismissively and said without hesitation, "Since your realm lord has something good to share with me, let's go dig for treasure!"
Sushang smiled brightly and said, "Brother, the Dao of Alchemy exam is tomorrow, I need to go prepare, I'll be going now. Oh, and don't forget to drink the chestnut porridge!"
"Um!"
Xie Feng smiled and nodded, then turned around. A beam of light shot over and buried itself in the earthenware jar. Watching as the chestnut porridge instantly emptied more than half the jar, Xie Feng couldn't hold back any longer!
That light is Little Sword!
While Taotie the chestnut porridge, it said fiercely, "You guys are torturing dogs! I'll eat first as a sign of respect! smack smack, so delicious!"
Xie Feng: "..."
He suddenly strode over, shoved Little Sword aside, poured the last bit of porridge from the pot into his mouth, and angrily said, "This was given to me by Xiao Shang, you're not allowed to eat it!"
Little Sword: "..."
This time it was speechless!
Bai Mo, standing nearby, was stunned to witness Xie Feng switching between his two personas so effortlessly.
After finishing his porridge, Xie Feng approached Bai Mo, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered, "I admire you. Your leader is my senior brother, so we're practically related. If you'd like, you can come to the Xuanji Sect! To be honest, following me will give you unlimited potential!"
These words made Bai Mo excited again!
He tried to calm himself down, shook his head, and said, " The Imperial Evil Realm has been kind to me in nurturing me, and I still prefer to stay there! I'm sorry, Sect Master Xie!"
Xie Feng grinned. "It's alright, take your time... The gates of the Xuanji Sect are always open for you."
Bai Mo was somewhat flattered, a ripple of emotion stirring within him, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only nod.
Bai Mo led Xie Feng to an extremely desolate battlefield in the northern part of the Origin Realm. As far as the eye could see, the land was vast and desolate, littered with corpses and still smelled of Blood Qi. The air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder, clearly indicating that a battle had just ended.
"Where is Lu Yinjian?" Xie Feng stopped, looked around briefly, and asked.
" Old Lu is on the northern battlefield, but I'll stay here!"
A powerful voice rang out at the right moment, and a man in black armor, his feet stained with blood and mud, strode forward.
Gu Yuan!
Xie Feng smiled and said, "Brother Gu, it's been a long time!"
Gu Yuan walked over, gave Xie Feng a brotherly high five, and laughed heartily, "Brother Xie, long time no see, how have you been?"
Xie Feng said, "I'm fine. Where's your realm lord? He said he invited me here, but now that I'm here, he won't even see me. What an arrogant attitude!"
Gu Yuan said, " Old Lu was just here, but an emergency occurred on the northern battlefield, so he rushed over to handle it. War is unpredictable."
Xie Feng nodded. "Alright!"
Gu Yuan pointed around and explained, "This is where we just fought with the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race; it's their territory."
"The patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race, Great Emperor Siming, is quite cunning. Since the start of the war, he has rarely confronted us head-on, but instead has allied with other clans to launch surprise attacks. To be honest, this tactic has indeed bought them a lot of time."
"Today, as we marched here, we happened to encounter a branch of the Nine Netherworld Army and easily annihilated them. However, we also unexpectedly discovered that this place is a forbidden area of Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race!"
"Forbidden areas, you know, they usually hide Dabao. This battlefield is divided into north and south sections, and we're currently in the south battlefield!"
Gu Yuan spoke as he walked.
Xie Feng smiled slightly and said, "Discovering a forbidden area, and you're still thinking of me for such a good thing. I'm indeed curious to know what your realm lord thinks."
Gu Yuan said earnestly and innocently, "Because you are the Devil Emperor's relative, Old Lu is very loyal to the Devil Emperor. It's a case of loving the house because of the dog!"
Let's hope so!
Xie Feng grinned, his smile somewhat complicated.
He didn't believe that excuse!
There must be some ulterior motive, but Lu Yinjian didn't tell Gu Yuan and the others!
This person is incredibly cunning, and always does so covertly; you have to be wary of them...
The three continued forward. Since Gu Yuan had only just entered the battlefield and hadn't had time to explore this forbidden area, his knowledge of the treasure was merely a guess, and he wasn't certain of its exact location.
At this moment, the night was deep, and there was no moon in the sky. Only a huge crimson line stretched across the mid-sky, which was the blood mist rising from the blood, a magnificent and terrifying sight.
As they walked, suddenly, Bai Mo, who was lagging behind, stopped moving!
He froze on the spot, his face suddenly turning pale, and he gave Xie Feng and the other person a pleading look.
Gu Yuan noticed something was wrong and frowned, asking, "What's wrong?"
Bai Mo kept one foot outstretched. He took a deep breath, pointed to his outstretched right foot, and said, "I think... I stepped on something terrifying!"
Xie Feng approached him, frowned slightly, and looked down. He saw that Bai Mo was standing on a patch of ground covered with short, stiff weeds. This area seemed unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, a faint pattern could be seen under his feet!
The black marks, seemingly broken yet continuous, exuded an unusual aura due to Bai Mo's movements.
It resembles some ancient and mysterious pattern!
Gu Yuan asked excitedly, "How do you know there's something wrong with this? Could it be a place where some kind of treasure is buried?!"
Bai Mo shook his head. "As soon as I stepped on it, a huge suction force pinned me to this spot. My right leg is numb now! It feels like something is pulling me down!"
Xie Feng calmly said, "Don't be nervous! Just stay still!"
Bai Mo nodded, gritting his teeth and remaining motionless!
Xie Feng's mind stirred slightly, and he activated his Double Pupils. A faint, eerie light emanated from his right eye. He looked at Bai Mo's feet, his expression slowly becoming solemn!
