The man in purple instantly became wary!
What do you want?!
"Nothing much, just... split it in half when we meet!"
"Robbers!"
"You're a thief, I'm a robber, there's no difference."
"..."
The man in purple was speechless for a moment!
He suddenly ignored Xie Feng and turned to leave!
Xie Feng put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "What kind of good stuff is it? I'm so curious."
The man didn't even turn his head. "None of your business!"
Xie Feng said, "Judging from the concentration of spiritual energy in this thing, it must be a good item. Being able to steal something so good means you're very familiar with the terrain here, right?"
"Follow me again, and I'll kill you!"
"What's there to be ashamed of about stolen goods? I know you're a thief; I've done petty theft before. Don't be shy!"
He kept accusing the man of "stealing" and kept pestering him, which finally angered the purple-clad man who already had a bad temper.
"Stop babbling on and on, go to hell! I'm going to kill you to silence you!"
The young man stopped and turned around, then suddenly struck with a palm!
The palm strike roared, its fury raging, and suddenly unleashed a hundred-foot-high blizzard!
Xie Feng calmly said, "It's not too late to back down now."
The man in purple gritted his teeth, not only refusing to stop but transforming his palm into a claw, his killing intent becoming even sharper!
I gave you a chance, but you didn't do it...
Xie Feng shook his head, and with a thought, the Dark Ink Fan shot out. The closed fan was like a steel rod, hitting the purple-robed man's wrist with a bang. The man screamed and his hand fell open, and a golden object fell to the ground!
"Who... who are you? It hurts so much!" The man in purple was jumping up and down on the ground, clutching his almost severed right hand, his face contorted in pain.
He was horrified!
He is a dignified early-stage God Grade, Beginner Level. Although he can't compare to the old monsters, he is still considered one of the best among the youth!
The man in front of him, who looked a few years older than him, defeated his opponent in a single move!
"Who are you? Tell me your name!"
The man jumped up and down in anger.
Xie Feng ignored him and instead looked at the object that had fallen on the snow. It was a very old ring with some fossils attached to it!
Surprisingly, a speed-based Movement Method was hidden inside the ring!
Rather than calling it a ring, it's more accurate to describe it as a vessel carrying Cultivation Method!
" Supreme just average."
After looking at the Movement Method level, Xie Feng shrugged, somewhat disdainful.
The man in purple. "..."
He hates pretentious people, he really does!
Because he's not that kind of person!
He's jealous!
The man in purple said, "If you're so disgusted by him, give him to me!"
Xie Feng's expression suddenly turned cold. He flashed forward, and an immense sense of oppression rushed towards him—a murderous aura!
The man in purple instinctively covered his head and cried out, "Don't kill me!"
Xie Feng sneered, "Look at my gentle and harmless face, how do I look like a murderer?"
The man in purple glanced at him, who still Lu Xun's face, and his lips twitched. He really couldn't see a trace of gentleness or harmlessness on that fierce and stern face...
Xie Feng's eyes darted around, and he weighed the ring in his hand. "This isn't an ordinary item. Where did you steal it?"
"Can you please stop saying 'steal' all the time..."
"Dare to do it but not dare to admit it?"
"..."
"Speak quickly!"
"Okay, I'll tell you, I took it from Phoenix Lord's private stash..."
The man in purple hesitated before revealing the truth.
The current Phoenix Lord is Feng Yan, which means that he stole the treasure from Feng Yan's private treasury.
Xie Feng became interested.
He had absolutely no goodwill towards Feng Yan because of Jin Yue, so the thought of seeing Feng Yan's secret stash of money suddenly made him a little excited.
He even planned what to take and how to take it...
Xie Feng tossed the ring over. "May I ask your esteemed name?"
"My name is..." The man in purple rolled his eyes, speaking evasively, "I'm the third child in my family, you can just call me Third Brother."
Xie Feng: "..."
He felt like he was about to unleash a powerful slap across the kid's face...
Seeing his dark expression, the man quickly changed his tune, "Um, you can call me Third Brother, that's what everyone calls me."
"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way," Xie Feng said coldly.
"Hehe, I knew you'd be into this too. A little stash of money, who wouldn't want to check it out? Big brother, what's your name?" the Third Brother said with a smile, trying to get closer to him.
" Lu Xun."
"You, you're the lord of Misty Rain Island?" The Third Brother was shocked to hear the name. "I never imagined that the always upright lord would start engaging in petty theft?"
"You talk too much nonsense!" Xie Feng frowned.
Seeing this, the Third Brother quickly shut his mouth and obediently led the way.
They traversed most of the Snow Peak Mountain Range and arrived at a remote forest, at the edge of which lay the sea.
It was pitch black and deep, like a black hole with no bottom in sight.
They stood on the beach, where the sea was so calm it was like a mirror, so still that it couldn't even reflect their shadows.
Xie Feng gazed at the horizon of the sea, his expression suddenly turning serious as he fell into deep thought.
This sea...
He came here five years ago!
Memories suddenly surged forth like a tidal wave.
The Third Brother said, "Island Master Lu, is this your first time in this sea? Be careful of our Peak of Heaven's Non-Sinking Sea; there's a very terrifying Formation beneath it. Want to know how this Formation came about? About four or five years ago, the seabed suddenly churned, and energy surged wildly. Some unfortunate soul accidentally stumbled upon it from another dimension, causing spatial-temporal turbulence that nearly affected the fortunes of Peak of Heaven. When Phoenix Lord found out, he immediately had this great formation set up."
Xie Feng remained Wordless.
His heart was filled with a myriad of emotions!
Because the "big traitor" that the Third Brother was talking about was none other than Xie Feng!
During his Tribulation Crossing, due to the spatial turbulence, his space was unexpectedly linked to the Non-Sinking Sea. There, inside a Golden Tomb, he saw something extraordinary!
Xie Feng pointed to the seabed and asked, "Are there any graves here?"
The Third Brother laughed, "This sea is the place with the strongest destructive power of Peak of Heaven. Who would dare put their grave here? It will be annihilated in a few years!"
Xie Feng nodded slightly and asked, "How do we get down?"
"Oh, I have a plan! This is my specialty!"
The Third Brother confidently raised an eyebrow at him, then carefully took out a white jade pot, uncorked it, and a wisp of fragrance rose up.
Their breath formed a round bubble, perfectly enveloping the two of them.
Bubbles floated towards the sea surface and slowly sank. Xie Feng could clearly see wisps of capturing power constantly swimming in the sea. As long as there was any abnormality, these capturing forces would quickly report it and eventually trigger the Formation.
Because of this bubble, the two of them were actually unharmed.
The Third Brother said smugly, "Do you know what this is? It's a wisp of Phoenix Lord's aura! The Formation recognizes the aura and considers it one of its own, so it doesn't make any big moves. You're probably wondering how I got it? Hehe, I'll mercifully tell you today!"
