"If you put it that way, then I'll have no choice but to accept."
Xie Feng smiled.
Cong Yun slowly narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile, "Actually, Young Master Xie, you never intended to refuse, otherwise you wouldn't have brought up this topic."
Xie Feng said, "What you say is absolutely right."
With Cong Yun's finger, a series of snapping sounds rang out as the boxes containing the Coiled Dragon Jade Pendant closed one after another.
Cong Yun said, "This is the Grand Yin Imperial Dragon Race's last trump card. I've shown it to Young Master Xie. If you ever need it, just ask me for it!"
"You really trust me..."
You have good character!
"Ha ha!"
Xie Feng laughed heartily; the feeling of being complimented was just so exhilarating!
He's just telling the absolute truth!
Xie Feng said, "I will do my best to handle this matter."
Cong Yun sighed softly, "Now, I have one last concern. I'm worried that Gu Xinglan will sabotage this. The final battle will inevitably be with her!"
Xie Feng said, "I've encountered her several times, and each time I've managed to escape unscathed. Gu Xinglan can't kill me!"
"But undeniably, she is our greatest enemy."
"I think calling them opponents is more appropriate!"
Is there a difference?
"An enemy is someone with deep-seated hatred, but after careful consideration with her, we don't find any real grudge. Therefore, an opponent is more suitable for her!"
"I see."
Cong Yun Zhen nodded slightly. "Young Master Xie, let's go out."
Xie Feng said, "Okay!"
The two left the secret chamber and headed upwards, retracing their steps.
As soon as Xie Feng stepped onto the ground of the Gu Xuan City courtyard, a buzzing sound came from inside. He took out a communication talisman and saw that it was Sushang.
He raised an eyebrow.
Xie Feng, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips, pressed a button on the communication talisman.
" Xiao Shang, what's wrong?"
Xie Feng asked in a low voice, getting straight to the point.
"No, you're doing it wrong." Cong Yun shook her head, lowering her voice to secretly impart her advice, "You should ask her if she misses you~"
Cong Yun had previously stayed at the Xuanji Sect for a period of time, so she naturally knew about the relationship between Xie Feng and Sushang, which is why she took the initiative to joke.
" Xiao Shang, have you missed me?"
Xie Feng applied what he learned on the spot.
"..." Sushang on the other end sighed, speechless. "Um, I can hear you guys talking..."
The air froze.
An extremely awkward atmosphere permeated the air.
"It was my inappropriate timing. You two talk, you two talk."
Cong Yun laughed and took two steps back.
Xie Feng asked in a deep voice, " Xiao Shang, what is it?"
Sushang herself, adjusted her demeanor, and quickly said, " The Gu Yu went missing yesterday!"
She speaks in a very direct and straightforward manner.
He is a descendant of Xie Feng!
Cong Yun couldn't help but shake his head. These two were so unromantic. Chatting from such a distance, they should be saying something "serious" that would make people blush and soften their hearts...
Birds of a feather flock together!
She felt very regretful that she couldn't get a close look at the melon; it was such a shame.
Sushang continued, "According to the disciples, someone was looking for Gu Yu outside Eastern Dawn Valley last night. The person did not identify himself and was only wearing a large cloak that covered his entire body, so it was impossible to tell whether he was male or female."
"After Gu Yu met that mysterious person, he disappeared and never returned. Now, Sister Yue Heng, Tao Xue, and Elder Yu Qingzhu are all going to look for him!"
Hearing this, Xie Feng frowned.
He said, "I understand."
"Waiting for you to come back, hmm..." After seemingly thinking for a moment, Sushang said softly, "Brother, I miss you so much..."
Xie Feng laughed and said, "I'll head back right away!"
The transmission has ended.
Cong Yun asked, " Gu Yu... I heard he's your personal disciple. His disappearance is a serious matter. Do you need my help?"
"This is a minor matter, no need to trouble the clan leader, I can handle it myself. Now, I'm leaving Gu Xuan City!"
"Call me if you need anything!"
"Okay, goodbye!"
Xie Feng nodded slightly to her and walked straight toward the city gate.
After leaving the Gu Xuan City and standing on the vast land outside, he did not rush back to the Xuanji Sect. Instead, his mind stirred, and his eyes gradually deepened.
He used his Double Pupils!
The method of reversing time!
The energy of the Double Pupils spread, Xie Feng's surroundings rapidly changed. Before he could move, the scene around him had already transformed into Eastern Dawn Valley, and the sky quickly darkened.
Two people stood at the mouth of the valley.
An Gu Yu piece.
A tall, mysterious figure in a black cloak.
The two are chatting.
" Xuanji Sect is too dangerous, come with me."
"With you gone, I'll be the safest place in the Xuanji Sect..."
"What did you say?"
"..."
Gu Yu remained silent, but the mysterious man grabbed him, and the two of them vanished into the distance!
The mysterious man spoke with a calm and icy voice, which Xie Feng recognized.
Gu Xinglan!
Xie Feng opened his eyes, and the Double Pupils disappeared.
Knowing that Gu Xinglan had taken Gu Yu, he inexplicably felt a sense of relief.
Gu Yu had previously mentioned that his parents died early and that Gu Xinglan raised him. Moreover, his arrogant and unruly nature suggests that Gu Xinglan treated him well.
If not, he should be obsequious or cynical, not like a spoiled brat.
It is certain that the Gu Yu will not be in any life-threatening danger in her hands...
"What we need to know now is where they went— the Devil Subduing Realm?"
Xie Feng stroked his chin and muttered to himself.
"Thanks, brother!"
At that moment, the space rippled, and a person appeared on the wasteland, his red fox fur coat standing out like a rainbow.
The Imperial Evil Lord!
He walked over and asked with concern, "I heard that your disciple Gu Yu has gone missing. Do you have any leads?"
Xie Feng said, "She was captured by Gu Xinglan."
"Phew, not too bad..."
Upon hearing this news, Imperial Evil Lord breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't know if Gu Xinglan will mistreat him, but the only thing I'm sure of is that his life is safe."
Xie Feng's eyes were piercing. "However... we can't be too relaxed just because of their relationship. Gu Xinglan is a person with strong goals and ruthless actions; we can't judge him by ordinary standards!"
The Imperial Evil Lord said, "I will send someone to investigate for you. If there is any news, I will inform you. Perhaps the Gu Yu is currently in the Devil Subduing Realm, but I do not want you to venture out alone. Let's wait for definite news before we take action."
"Good."
Xie Feng nodded, then looked up at the Imperial Evil Lord and asked, "Did you come here specifically to see me because of the Gu Yu?"
"Of course... no!"
"What's up?"
"I'm going to deal with Cheng Hao. He's been very restless lately, but Old Lu and I plan to go into seclusion for a while to break through some barriers. Gu Xinglan's power is growing stronger and stronger, while we haven't made any progress. It would be a lie to say we're not worried!"
A trace of worry crept onto the Imperial Evil Lord's brow.
Xie Feng asked, "How long?"
The Imperial Evil Lord replied, "Perhaps one month, perhaps two months."
Xie Feng said, "Okay, but I need to go back to Eastern Dawn Valley now."
He said he would go back, and he can't go back on his word!
Someone is thinking of him!
