Kong Qiusu on the Eternity Battlefield with Feng Wen, stunning everyone.
With a screech, 500,000 Demon-Burying Demon Soldiers instantly drew their swords and charged!
The atmosphere was tense and ready to fight!
Xie Feng waved his hand, saying casually, "We're all on the same side, all on the same side~"
The soldiers hesitated, but before they came, Zang Tian had said that Xie Feng had absolute authority over them; his words were Zang Tian's words, and his orders were Zang Tian's orders!
The soldiers immediately laid down their weapons.
Feng Wen bowed to Xie Feng and said, "According to etiquette, I should call you Uncle Xie! Thank you very much!"
She blinked, and Xie Feng blinked back knowingly.
"Good niece!" Xie Feng laughed, then turned to Kong Qiusu and said, "Haha, you beat me to it, senior brother! You saw through my plan in advance. You truly are my senior brother!"
Shi Yan's eyes widened. "What's going on?!"
Yao Cang said impatiently, "Why don't you just listen to the teachers talking? What's the rush!"
Shi Yan: "..."
The reason Xie Feng sent 500,000 Demon-Burying Clan troops into the Eternity Battlefield, had them annihilate the Emperor Phoenix Clan army, and had Shi Yan fight Feng Wen before deploying the Northern Nether Heaven-Subduing Fire was because of a carefully designed scheme—to have Feng Wen fake his death and escape!
Only if Feng Wen "dies" on the battlefield will Feng Yan completely lower his guard against her and stop trying to trip her up or even poison her. This would be equivalent to saving Feng Wen's life!
Kong Qiusu said, "While you were in Star-Array Abyss, I wasn't idle either. I was observing the situation at Peak of Heaven. I discovered that Feng Yan's fear of Xiao Wen was quite evident, which put Xiao Wen in a very difficult situation. Even if you hadn't done it today, I would have done it."
Xie Feng nodded, then turned to Feng Wen and said, "I didn't order anyone to hunt down those deserters just now. I estimate it won't be long before the people of Peak of Heaven find out you've died in battle."
"Uncle Xie, Uncle..."
Everything they did for her deeply moved Feng Wen; tears welled in her eyes, and she choked up, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Xie Feng laughed and said, "Now, you're free! Abandon this name that binds you, and like your uncle, choose a new name for yourself!"
Feng Wen wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said softly:
"I've always loved the line of poetry, 'With bamboo staff and straw sandals, I travel lighter than on horseback; who cares? Let the Yanyu rain accompany me through life!' I admire the poet's open-minded and carefree State of Mind, and now, I truly empathize... I have severed ties with Feng Wen of Peak of Heaven, and I now have a new name— Ren Yanyu!"
Her gaze was firm, her eyes sparkling.
When she uttered the name Ren Yanyu, she experienced a true sense of freedom.
The battlefield was shrouded in smoke and clouds, and a moment of silence fell.
Shi Yan suddenly clapped his hands, realizing something. "I understand! You're all in cahoots! You don't like the Emperor Phoenix Clan either, so you had Young Master Xie help you fake your death! Isn't that right?"
Xie Feng said, "You have a very good understanding."
"You flatter me! Um, Young Master Xie, from now on, Feng Wen... ah, no, Miss Ren Yanyu, you'll be on our side, right?"
"It's with the teacher, not with you."
Yao Cang glared at him, stubbornly correcting his mistake.
Shi Yan an awkward laugh, "They're all the same, they're all the same."
"It's different! Do you see those pretty girls even talking to you? They only talk to teachers and their senior classmates!"
Yao Cang look.
Shi Yan became withdrawn after being rebuked and stopped talking altogether.
Because he was wary of the little guy's identity, he didn't dare to go too far.
Yao Cang approached Kong Qiusu, tilted his head back, and flashed a bright smile, "I just heard Teacher call you Senior Brother, so you must be my Uncle-Master?!"
Kong Qiusu his eyes, reached out and patted Yao Cang's head, smiling slightly, "The little guy is really clever and eloquent."
Xie Feng smirked. "He doesn't even know who his teacher is."
After being given a new lease on life, Ren Yanyu is determined to serve Xie Feng, and she also tells Xie Feng a secret.
In a secluded spot, there were only the two of them.
Ren Yanyu looked around to make sure no one else was there, then whispered, "Uncle Xie, not long ago, I discovered an unusual place on the battlefield. I suspect it's a treasure trove!"
Xie Feng's lips immediately curled into a smile. Treasure? What treasure? He loved treasure the most!
Ren Yanyu shared it selflessly, but she didn't want the people of the Demon-Burying Clan to know.
Firstly, they didn't trust Shi Yan; secondly, they were still unhappy with the existence of the Demon-Burying Clan; and thirdly, there were too many wolves and not enough meat, and too many people knew about it, making it difficult to divide the spoils!
So in the end, only she, Xie Feng, and Kong Qiusu went.
The treasure lies deep in a mountain forest north of the battlefield, a place fraught with danger and rarely visited by people.
Because of its terrain, it was difficult to wage war, so this place has hardly been destroyed.
The three of them ventured into the deep mountains, with Ren Yanyu leading the way, and soon stopped at the bottom of a valley.
"This is it!"
The direction she was pointing was a huge well.
The well was surrounded by broken walls and ruins. The well itself was so tall that even Xie Feng had to stand on tiptoe to see inside.
A pool of stagnant, grayish-green water!
A thick, sticky layer of grayish-white bacterial colony floated on the surface, along with mottled branches and rotting leaves.
It looks no different from any other abandoned well.
Xie Feng's Divine Sense penetrated the stagnant water all the way to the well, where he finally sensed the surging energy!
"This well is a seal!" He walked around the well, his gaze solemn.
"Let me try and see if I can break the seal."
As Ren Yanyu spoke, she conjured an ice ball in her hand, at which point Xie Feng stopped her.
"If you throw that ball, it will likely alarm the entire area within a hundred miles. Wouldn't that attract the Demon-Burying Clan's army?"
"Uncle Xie, please come in."
Ren Yanyu nodded, then immediately took two steps back.
Xie Feng stretched out his palm, Northern Nether Heaven-Subduing Fire burst forth from his palm, forming a ray that shot straight into the well, the flames radiating a fierce power.
When water and fire meet, the water is scorched by the flames and billows of thick smoke. The smoke dissipates automatically before it escapes the deep mountains.
Soon, the well water boiled away!
At the depths of the well, it was pitch black and bottomless!
Ren Yanyu frowned. "Now, should we jump in?"
Xie Feng nodded. "Logically speaking, that should be the case."
Ren Yanyu said, "I'll go scout ahead first!"
As she spoke, she was about to jump in. Actually, given her composed nature, she didn't like taking risks, but here, both Xie Feng and Kong Qiusu were incredibly steady, and she was the junior, so she had no choice but to go...
Kong Qiusu stopped him, saying, "The energy in the well is extraordinary. If we're going to explore, I should go first. After all, of the three of us, I should be the strongest."
Ren Yanyu said, "Uncle, be careful!"
"Rest assured."
Kong Qiusu smiled elegantly, walked to the well, and jumped in.
At the same time.
He reached out and pulled Xie Feng down with him!
Xie Feng: "???"
Kong Qiusu said, "Junior brother, I'm afraid of the dark. Come down and keep me company."
Xie Feng cursed, "Fuck your grandpa!"
