Yuan Ling continued coldly, "It's like attracting fly droppings that you can't shake off. But thankfully, he's gone now, and we've diverted the trouble to another place, so we can finally have some peace and quiet!"
"In that case, someone's going to be in for some trouble! Haha! But, you know, I really did give them the best piece of land, a forbidden zone for the War Faction, how could it not be good..."
As he finished speaking, a hearty smile appeared on his lips.
"Wait a minute, those two people Xie Feng captured earlier should be on the Eternity Battlefield right now, but he caught them. Does that mean Xie Feng just returned from the Eternity Battlefield? What was he doing there? Was it just to fight the War Faction?"
Yuan Ling frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Ming Dao said, "Didn't Xie Feng just say that he has relatives at Peak of Heaven? He'll definitely help Peak of Heaven!"
Yuan Ling frowned.
Ming Dao pressed his advantage. " Burial King, this clearly shows that he shares the same stance as us!"
Yuan Ling sneered, "Whether they are similar or different, how much they are the same and how much they are different, cannot be determined so simply and arbitrarily."
Ming Dao said, "But I think you, Burial King, will also consider the possibility of us cooperating with him, right? Let's join forces and deal with the War Faction together!"
Yuan Ling shook his head. "I don't know this person, I'm afraid I'll be tricked. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, you may leave."
Ming Dao nodded. "Yes!"
Facing the dried-up streambed, Yuan Ling flicked his sleeve, and the streambed gushed forth again, its water clear and ethereal. Several fish, seemingly adrift in the air, chased and played in the water, their movements perfectly visible.
As the sun set, a starship departed from the western part of the Demon-Burying Clan and headed east.
Since only Kong Qiusu how to pilot a starship, this task naturally fell to him.
In the Fifth Universe, starships come in three sizes: large, medium, and small. The largest can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, while the smallest can accommodate ten. Xie Feng and his group's starship is a small one.
The small starship is similar to a carriage, with the cockpit at the front, but it is not separated. Behind the cockpit is the most spacious area, which can accommodate tables, chairs, and couches.
At this moment, Xie Feng sat at the table, examining the key that Yuan Ling had given him.
Gu Yu, standing to the side, grumbled indignantly, "What kind of bullshit Demon-Burying Clan is this? They're all such hypocrites! Bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong! Master, you shouldn't have given those two souls to Yuan Ling. Letting him obtain the enemy's souls so easily was such a waste!"
Xie Feng fiddled with the token-shaped key with his fingers, remaining silent and completely calm.
Gu Yu could have a lot of fun even by himself. He continued to curse, slamming his fist on the table and cursing through gritted teeth, his spittle raining down on Xie Feng's head.
" Gu Yu... can you just shut up for a bit?" Xie Feng had a headache; he didn't want to get soaked anymore.
"Master, why didn't you kill Yuan Ling? He doesn't look like a good person!" Gu Yu was furious.
"Killing someone isn't that simple, especially killing a powerful person. There are many factors to consider. If I kill Yuan Ling now, who will be the biggest beneficiary?" Xie Feng asked, tilting his head.
"You!" Gu Yu blurted out.
"Why me? What benefit did I gain?"
"You... you've found happiness..." Gu Yu scratched the back of his head, seemingly realizing that his words were somewhat absurd.
Xie Feng gazed at the cyan-gold key in his hand and explained slowly, "You're wrong. The biggest beneficiary after killing Yuan Ling isn't me, nor is it Peak of Heaven, but the War Faction of the Demon-Burying Clan! Without firing a single shot, the biggest obstacle has been destroyed. They'll be overjoyed, while I've unwittingly become someone who's doing all the work for them! I won't do something so foolish."
Gu Yu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is, Master! I understand now! My thinking was too shallow and limited!"
Xie Feng said, "You still have a lot to learn. Acting impulsively out of anger might feel good in the moment, but you need to think more about the interests of all parties involved afterward. If you want to act impulsively, then make sure you get the maximum benefit!"
Gu Yu sighed, "Master is indeed Master, I admire him!"
"By the way, I've looked into it, and this key is useless; it's just a badge to signify status. Maybe there isn't even a key at all, and Yuan Ling just made it up to get away as soon as possible."
Xie Feng pointed at the key with his finger and shrugged.
Gu Yu said, "What a cunning old fox! But this also proves that violence can solve problems... violence can bring peace!"
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow. "You're quick to understand, kid. You're right. When friendly negotiations are impossible, only violence can bring world peace!"
"No, this is what my senior master said..."
Gu Yu scratched his head sheepishly, thinking, "Even if you had ten brains, you couldn't have said something like that."
Xie Feng nodded. "Oh, if that's what Senior Brother said, then it's alright."
At this moment, Kong Qiusu, who had been silent the whole way, whispered a reminder: "We've arrived at the Heaven Realm!"
Xie Feng looked out the window, overlooking the earth. The starship was piercing through the thick clouds, not falling, but flying higher and higher.
The Heaven Realm isn't on the ground, but high in the sky!
At the edge of everyone's sight, a majestic, spiral-shaped island came into view—an island in the sky.
The islands are like icicles hanging from the eaves in winter, becoming sharper as you go down, until they reach the bottom, where they are as sharp as knives.
On the island, the vegetation is lush and verdant. From afar, it looks like a coiled azure Azure Dragon, suspended above the clouds, mysterious and powerful, overflowing with Spiritual Qi!
Xie Feng looked over calmly, slightly surprised. Even from such a distance, he could feel the surging energy inside that floating island.
That was an immense fortune!
As the starship drew closer to the island, they felt an even stronger sense of awe and power.
" Yuan Ling wasn't lying; this place truly is a rare fertile land. Heaven Realm —even its name is extraordinary!"
Xie Feng muttered to himself.
Gu Yu urged impatiently, "Master Uncle, let's go quickly! I'm already eager to set foot on that island!"
Kong Qiusu didn't speak, but silently piloted the starship, which roared away and soon arrived at the floating island.
Xie Feng and Gu Yu stepped off the starship and floated into the air.
Buzz~~
When they tried to go in, they were stopped!
An invisible protective shield surrounds the floating island, automatically resisting any outsiders and preventing them from entering.
This is a restriction!
The floating island was surrounded by waves, each wave higher than the last, forming a perfect defensive loop.
If the starship tries to force its way through, the water wave will activate its attack mode.
Gu Yu touched his nose. "We can't get in, what should we do? Master, you're amazing, why don't you break this barrier!"
"Who dares to break the barrier? This is utterly lawless!"
Before Xie Feng could speak, a booming sound suddenly exploded above their heads.
A dark cloud formed by the Demon-Burying Demon appeared in the sky, rolling and eerie.
Before the demons stood a young man, clad in iron armor, wielding a massive black sword, his eyes fixed intently on Xie Feng and his companion!
