Chapter 687

And Xiao Yan on the side, after seeing the former's expression, revealed a trace of mockery on his face without changing his expression.

Looking at that appearance, it's already very obvious he has no interest in him.

But this Song Qing still fails to recognize reality, truly a sycophant.

Immediately afterward, his gaze again fell upon the "Lin Feng" beside Xiao Yixian and the other girls.

That soul clone, although its aura basically matches that of the true Lin Feng.

Even Song Qing and the others had not noticed it.

But under his early Soul Realm soul perception, that clone nevertheless had a very obvious illusory feel.

Moreover, even setting aside soul perception.

On this "Lin Feng", he sensed no aura of any strange fire.

This point is clearly very contrary to common sense.

After all, that Lin Feng indeed possesses strange fire.

"I don't know where the true Lin Feng has gone, and after disappearing for so long, what exactly is he doing?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

As for Song Qing's earlier speech, Cao Ying, although not interested in that so-called union.

But those other participants with slightly weaker strength were extremely interested.

Although they also understand that those other people could not possibly sincerely help them.

It's nothing more than recycling, using the other's power to intimidate that level Beast.

But they, having no other choice, even if they know it, what then? They fundamentally have no other options.

Furthermore, everyone present knows Song Qing's status in the Pill Tower.

His proposal, compared to those nameless nobodies standing up earlier saying everyone should unite, should be safer.

Thinking of this, those people immediately rushed forward, shouting loudly: "Young Master Song, I'm joining!"

"Me too."

"Count me in."

"."

In an instant, the previously fairly orderly camp became crowded because of Song Qing's words.

As for Xiao Yan, he simply watched the scene in silence.

After all, regardless of anything, he was still very wary of the level Beast in the Ten Thousand Herbs Mountain Range.

Therefore, regarding this alliance, he likewise fully approved.

However, just as everyone was excited about finding a relatively safe way into the mountains, Lin Feng's clone, created with the three‑thousand Thunder Illusion Body, suddenly shivered.

Immediately after, he closed his eyes and began receiving information from deep within the Ten Thousand Herbs Mountain Range.

Shortly thereafter, the clone, having finished receiving the information, promptly said something to the four women.

"Are you sure Lin Feng wants us to go to the depths of the Ten Thousand Herbs Mountain Range, to that level Beast's lair?"

Upon hearing the clone's words, Cao Ying immediately furrowed her brows and said.

She couldn't understand why that guy Lin Feng had suddenly become friends with the leader of the Ten Thousand Herbs Mountain Range.

"The original did say so; it can't be wrong."

The clone, hearing the former's confusion, immediately explained.

As a fragment of Lin Feng's soul, the clone naturally would not question the original's decision.

At this moment, Xiao Yixian stepped forward and said, "Let's go take a look. Even if this is a trap set by the Ten Thousand Herbs Mountain Range beast leader, I'm confident I can kill it outright with sheer strength!"

"Alright then."

Hearing Xiao Yixian's extremely confident words, the women exchanged glances, then nodded.

After all, they all knew Xiao Yixian was a strong individual nearing the Nine‑Star Dou Zun Realm.

Although they did not know the exact strength of the Ten Thousand Herbs Mountain Range's leader.

But they could imagine that the pill tower would never leave a beast too powerful as a test for them.

Therefore, Xiao Yixian's power was certainly unafraid of the Ten Thousand Herbs Mountain Range's leader.

As for Cao Ying and Dan Chen, each held some hidden cards in their hands.

Even when confronting a Dou Zun‑level strongman, they were somewhat confident they could escape.

As for Ye Xinlan, being a Dou Emperor, he could only follow the group.

And Xiao Yixian, seeing that the three had no objections, immediately looked at Lin Feng's clone and said, "Since that's the case, you lead the way."

"Alright, then follow me."

Hearing this, the clone nodded, then after sensing the original's location, flew toward the interior of the Ten Thousand Herbs Mountain Range.

As for the other four women, their bodies moved lightly, and they too swooped out, keeping up with the former.

"Those people left; could they have received some information?"

Xiao Yan, who had been watching the group, immediately speculated upon seeing Xiao Yixian and the others depart.

He observed their demeanor and concluded they had clearly obtained some information, which is why they suddenly entered the Ten Thousand Herbs Mountain Range.

However, Xiao Yan, considering his own insufficient strength, did not follow.

After all, even if he tried to trail them, their strength would surely detect his presence.

At that point, the only one embarrassed would be him.

So he consciously refrained from stepping forward to act as a clown.

As for Song Qing, who had been watching Cao Ying, he suddenly became anxious the moment he saw her leave.

However, he considered that the alliance matters had not yet been resolved.

Therefore, he could only suppress his anxious feelings and begin handling affairs.

After that, he hurriedly brought everyone to go seek death? Actually he went into the Myriad Medicine Mountain Range to look for medicinal herbs.

However, nobody noticed that, after they set off, an utterly ordinary small bird immediately flew off from a nearby branch.

He sped toward the depths of the Myriad Medicine Mountain Range.

However, because this bird was utterly ordinary, nobody paid any attention to its existence.

Meanwhile, at the summit of a hill ten-odd li behind the crowd, a black-clothed man stood with his hands behind his back.

Yet his gaze toward Xiao Yan and the others leaked a hint of eeriness.

Even the corner of his mouth, at some unknown time, curled up with a hint of an eerie smile.

"Xiao Yan, since you have taken Yao Chen's Burning Secret, you cannot escape."

At the hill's peak, the black-clothed man gazed at the place where Xiao Yan had disappeared.

A low murmur, silently carrying a thick killing intent, slowly spread out.

As someone who knew some inside details of the Burning Secret, he was extremely clear in his heart.

This scroll, the last Dou Emperor expert on the Dou Qi Continent left by Tuoshe Gu Di—just how valuable is it?

Meanwhile, he faintly guessed in his heart that if he obtained this scroll, Tuoshe Gu Di had intentionally left the cultivation method in the Light and Shadow Space.

It is very possible that obtaining it could grant the method to become the next-generation Dou Emperor expert on the Dou Qi Continent.

After all, on the Dou Qi Continent, if an expert passes his own cultivation method to you,

it means he is preparing to leave his inheritance to you!

Furthermore, since this scroll is a cultivation method practiced by Tuoshe Gu Di, it must possess something extraordinary.

Otherwise, Tuoshe Gu Di could not have cultivated it and broken through all the way to the legendary Dou Emperor realm!

Moreover, Dou Emperor experts surely would not be idle, leaving a scroll just to toy with their descendants.

"Xiao Yan, this time I don't believe anyone will come to save you. Back then, that old immortal Yao Chen ambushed me in the Light and Shadow Space and stole the Burning Secret. This time, I, Mu Gu, will retrieve it from within the Pill Realm!"

Thinking back over a hundred years ago, Yao Chen was in that ruin.

Recalling the shameless ambush that stole the Burning Secret, the old man Mu Gu could not help but feel angry enough to hurt his lungs.

Immediately, he flicked his sleeve, turned, and merged into the space, vanishing atop this hill.

"What? Xiao Yan has joined forces with many competitors?"

In the depths of the Myriad Medicine Mountain Range, when Xiong Zhan received the message from his subordinates, his brows, several centimeters wide, immediately furrowed together.

Immediately after, he swiftly turned and shot toward his own manor.

With the strength of a Battle Venerable, Xiong Zhan returned to the medicinal herb storage clearing in less than ten minutes.

"Brother Lin Feng, there's news about Xiao Yan."

Upon seeing Lin Feng, who had finished organizing the medicinal herbs and was playing with Zi Yan, Xiong Zhan roared loudly.

"Little Xiongzi, why are you shouting so loudly?"

While playing with Lin Feng, Zi Yan was suddenly spoiled by this explosive roar and immediately snapped back.

Hearing this, Xiong Zhan instantly showed a hint of aggrieved expression.

He merely wanted to tell Lin Feng about Xiao Yan's information; why did he provoke this young lady into anger?

Lin Feng then rubbed Zi Yan's smooth purple hair and said displeasedly, "You're almost an adult; watch your speech—this won't do, understand?"

"Hmph, I'll pay attention next time."

Seeing Lin Feng say that, Zi Yan muttered softly, agreeing to it.

However, if the elders of East Dragon Island were present now, they would surely be shocked to the point of jaw dislocation.

They would then immediately invite Lin Feng back to East Dragon Island to serve as Zi Yan's tutor, specially teaching this girl.

Because on East Dragon Island, no matter what they said, Zi Yan would not listen, like chanting sutras to a cow.

But upon arriving at Lin Feng's place, she suddenly turned into a well-behaved girl.

This contrast—no one could match it.

After Lin Feng scolded Zi Yan, he then turned to Xiong Zhan with an apologetic smile and said, "Brother Xiong Zhan, this girl lacks manners; please continue."

Hearing this, Xiong Zhan's favorability toward the former surged.

As magic beast powerhouses, their attitude toward the weak has always been terrible; how could they receive such treatment?

Immediately after, realizing he was here to report matters, he hurriedly told Lin Feng about Xiao Yan's current situation.

After Lin Feng finished listening to his words, he then fell into contemplation.

After a moment, Lin Feng raised his head and said, "Brother Xiong Zhan, please dispatch some magic beasts to separate Xiao Yan's group from the other competitors. That way, it won't cause excessive casualties among the participants."

Most importantly, he worried that Xiao Yan and Song Qing would treat the other participants as shields.

As for those few, they would seize the chance to flee.

But if Xiong Zhan's magic beasts scattered those participants,

then, when the Soul Hall attacks Xiao Yan, that fellow would be literally heaven-and-earth, with nowhere to escape.

Unless he crushes the space stone and forfeits his qualification to participate in the Pill Assembly. (End of chapter)
