"All right!"
Xie Feng shrugged. Since the other person had already told him it was a secret, it would be impolite to ask any further questions.
Anyway, he'll find out sooner or later...
"This old man was loitering in front of my door just now. Later, he was taken away by the head guard and imprisoned here. I was curious, so I followed him. Princess Zilong, don't panic. I don't want to pry into any of your secrets."
Xie Feng said.
Princess Zilong nodded and smiled, "I see. I knew Young Master Xie was such a handsome man, he didn't seem like a bad person."
Xie Feng sincerely replied, "Your Highness is too kind."
That's an absolute overstatement!
What kind of naive person would define him like that?
One in a million!
He himself doesn't believe he's a good person...
Those who have come this far, those whose hands are stained with blood, aren't they bad people?!
Xie Feng shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts.
He glanced at the prison and couldn't help but ask, " Princess Zilong, if I may be so bold as to ask, who is the old man imprisoned here?"
"He's a friend of my father's, named Zhong Long. I heard he had political disagreements with my father back then and has been imprisoned here for fifty years! Because I didn't experience what happened back then, there are many things I know, but not really."
What kind of political disagreements?
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow. The people of Divine Dragon Plains really do get into fights so easily because of differing political views...
Princess Zilong shook her head and refused to answer, seemingly reluctant to discuss the matter.
Xie Feng was a smart person; if she didn't want to answer, then it was something they couldn't continue the conversation about, so she didn't press the matter further.
Princess Zilong said softly, "Uncle Zhong Long is very good to me. He is locked up in this dark and sunless place by my father, and I feel sorry for him. Sometimes I take pity on him and let him out for a walk."
"He usually likes to sit in the sun by the wall next to Young Master Xie's residence, because the sunlight there is the warmest and most abundant, so... that's why it has caused you trouble, Young Master Xie. I'm very sorry."
"Furthermore, Uncle Zhong Long's mental state has been very poor for the past fifty years; he's prone to madness. Young Master Xie, for your safety, it's best if you don't come to see him."
Is he very strong?
"Well, I'm not sure either. It seems like some of its power was sealed..."
"Okay, I understand."
Xie Feng turned around and looked out the window. He saw the old man lying on the ground, fast asleep.
The elderly person couldn't handle the strong dosage of the medication.
Now the elixir has transformed into energy, nourishing and repairing his body, which is why he has escaped danger.
Seeing Xie Feng's attention to the old man, Princess Zilong frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Xie, you... you seem to care about him a lot?"
Xie Feng shrugged. "Maybe what I care about isn't him, but... the Blood Dragon Tower..."
Princess Zilong pursed her lips and said nothing more.
She is a very introverted person.
After a moment of silence, the two left the Blood Dragon Tower.
They walked along the roads near the capital city. It was past midnight, and the city was even more bustling and vibrant than during the day.
People were coming and going, all of them from Divine Dragon Plains!
Xie Feng watched as these people walked along the road. Although they were physically exhausted, they all had happy faces, or rather, they were full of energy.
Sometimes it's hard to find both fatigue and energy, because these are two extremely contradictory outward expressions.
But these people did it!
Princess Zilong, seeing that he was observing the group, explained, "Young Master Xie, are you curious about why they work so hard from dawn till dusk? What are they doing?"
"Certainly!"
"Father wants to build a city, and they are building it."
"What city? The Great Wall?"
Xie Feng recalled the majestic and magnificent Great Wall of the Celestial Empire in his previous life.
Princess Zilong's eyes lit up. "What is this? It sounds amazing! No, it's not a very long city, it's a city."
Xie Feng gazed at the path the group had come from, his eyes meeting at the endless wasteland.
"I see you don't have any border defenses here, and nighttime is a high-risk period for ambushes. You also executed ten assassins today. Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the South Dragon King?" Xie Feng asked.
"I'm not afraid!"
Princess Zilong said, "Ten days ago, Father invited a powerful expert to oversee the situation. It was precisely because of his arrival that, in just ten days, our North Dragon Valley reversed the situation that had been suppressed by the South Dragon Valley for so many years, turning defeat into victory!"
Her eyes shone with confidence.
Xie Feng's curiosity was piqued, and he asked, "What does this person look like?"
He was dressed in a blue robe, handsome and dashing, but his temper was a bit strange and irritable; everyone gave him a wide berth.
After listening to the princess's description, Xie Feng nodded slightly.
He smiled mysteriously.
He thought he already knew who this person was...
"Where is he? I want to see him," Xie Feng said.
"This lord is elusive; it's usually difficult to spot him. However, I just heard that he's taken a liking to an ice spring in South Dragon Valley and has already led men to seize it. If Young Master Xie is interested, you can go and take a look at the ice spring."
"Okay, thank you!"
Xie Feng nodded slightly, then turned and disappeared.
He went to South Dragon Valley.
If Princess Zilong is right, then this powerful figure, and the Cosmic Wanderer being encountered by the South Dragon King, must be the same person!
"I haven't seen him in so long..."
Xie Feng sighed softly, then his gaze hardened, and with each step a blur, he swiftly headed towards South Dragon Valley.
The Divine Dragon Plains is extremely vast.
The two forces severed ties here and went their separate ways.
The northern part is North Dragon Valley, and the southern part is South Dragon Valley.
At the border of South Dragon Valley, the mountains stretch and meander, and in the heart of the mountains, a thick fog hangs in the air, filled with Spiritual Qi.
Here lies a pool of icy spring!
The spring water exuded a tremendous spiritual aura. When Xie Feng arrived, he was instantly enveloped in a cold mist, feeling refreshed and invigorated!
"Strange, am I too early? This place is completely deserted? Or... is the North Dragon Army still on their way and hasn't attacked yet?"
Xie Feng looked at the very quiet ice spring with some confusion.
"But..."
A wicked smile crept across his lips. "Now that I'm here, this ice spring is mine!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and pressed it down gently, setting up a large Formation.
Five Elements Formation!
The formation incorporates the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth! By leveraging their mutually reinforcing and restraining energies, each element is interconnected, achieving an extremely powerful combination of offense and defense.
After setting up the Five Elements Formation, Xie Feng found a wet patch next to an ice spring, sat cross-legged, and adopted a calm, detached, and otherworldly demeanor.
Time passed little by little...
He was awakened by the sound of clashing swords after an unknown amount of time.
Outside the valley, many warriors are attacking the Five Elements Formation!
These men, clad in white armor, exuded an imposing aura and a murderous intent, launching wave after wave of attacks.
They awakened the Five Elements Formation.
Rumble!
As a deafening sound rang out, and the earth shook violently, the Formation began to enter passive attack mode!
