Chapter 722

There was still some time before the next territorial battle, and Zhu Shen Da Lu had nothing major happening, so Xiao Feng didn't linger long and quickly returned to Shen Jie.

Via the Shen Jie travel permit, Xiao Feng appeared in Xing Kong after 30 seconds.

The surroundings were completely empty.

"Sure enough, I was left halfway..."

The fact proves that trying to go offline and idle doesn't work; if the person isn't here, the flying vessel won't move with his "coordinates".

But it's fine; I can just fly after him on my own!

Xiao Feng pushed his speed to the maximum, racing toward the direction of Nine-Colored Island at extreme speed.

With nothing to do on the way, he used spiritual communication to chat casually with his contracted maids.

"Goddess, it's been over ten hours since we last saw each other—do you miss me?"

"I do, I'm thinking of you every moment~"

"How much?"

"I... really miss you, from inside to outside I'm thinking of you~"

"Oh~ like that. Then when you return this time, I'll give you a proper soothing from head to toe!"

"Mm, good... Mi Ni Ya says she wants it too."

"No problem, everyone gets a share!"

"Xiao Feng little brother~ why aren't you talking to me, only speaking to High God He Er Na?"

"It's not that I miss you too much; I'm afraid that if I say a few words to you I won't be able to hold back..."

"Can't hold back what? Hehe~"

"Cough... saying it would get me sealed, so I'd better not say it."

"I understand, then you need to come back quickly~"

"Yeah, once I'm done I'll come back to mess with you!"

"Master... my subordinate has a matter I'd like to ask you to help with, but..."

"Silly, no need to be polite with me; as long as you serve me well, I'll settle any big matter for you!"

"Huh? Serve the master? This..."

"What, are you shy?... Wait, are you Mi?"

Xiao Feng was flirting with the two beloved goddess-witches of his Wind Spirit Island when another thought suddenly appeared.

Spiritual communication is a thought-level conversation, without sound or tone, so when many people are involved, it's easy to mistake who's speaking if one isn't careful.

Mi suddenly had something to ask him, and upon hearing the two words "master," he instinctively thought it was He Er Na speaking to him, so he blurted out a line.

He hadn't expected...

For a moment, Xiao Feng froze, embarrassed.

"Yes, it's me... Master, your previous words weren't meant for me, were they?" A hint of nervousness came through Mi's thoughts.

Obviously hearing the ambiguous tone in Xiao Feng's words, she feared he might have designs on her.

Xiao Feng quickly replied, "Um, misunderstanding, misunderstanding—I thought it was He Er Na; don't take it to heart, I have no interest in you. You said you have a matter you need my help with—what is it?"

As for Mi, his thoughts were simple—he just saw her as a money tree.

Although Mi's looks are extremely high, with silver hair and golden pupils being exceedingly rare, he isn't a seed-sowing machine; you can't just see a fertile patch and go plant seeds there.

Such things also require principles!

Without an emotional foundation, no matter how beautiful, she's still an outsider!

Once the War Horn is unsealed, he basically won't have any further dealings with this war goddess.

That answer let Mi breathe a sigh of relief.

She organized her thoughts and told Xiao Feng, "Reporting, Master, the situation is this: recently a wandering High God from the Elemental Sea visited the War God's Kingdom, saying he wanted to help me deter the Elemental Divine Realm and jointly govern my divine kingdom. I can see he's merely coveting the resources of the War God's Kingdom and my... and your War Horn, Master. If I agree, I'll fall into a passive position. But his strength surpasses mine, and I have no High God artifact, so I fear I'm no match for him; thus I ask you to temporarily lend me the War Horn so I can repel him, then return it to you."

Xiao Feng heard this and was very surprised, exclaiming, "A wandering High God from the Elemental Sea? Such a person actually exists!"

Mi replied, "There are, and such strong ones aren't rare. They mostly like to go to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield to roam, only occasionally returning for a while."

"What level of strength does the one you encountered roughly have?" Xiao Feng asked curiously.

She said, "Close to a mid-level High God's strength, with at least four High God artifacts on him, and his understanding of laws is quite deep. In direct combat... I can only rely on the War Heart to stay undefeated, unable to inflict effective damage on him."

Close to a mid-level High God...

And having four High God artifacts means he's really formidable!

Mi is a bottom-tier High God among bottom-tier High Gods, lacking even a High God artifact—definitely no match.

Claiming to stay "undefeated" by relying on the War Heart is just her pride talking.

If they really fought, she wouldn't be a match at all—she'd be killed within five minutes!

Then

after using the War Heart's "undying" effect, she quickly revives and continues to stubbornly hold on.

In such a situation, she must feel terrible—unable to win in battle, and if she gives up resistance the loss would be especially heavy.

The strongest person around her is at most a King-ranked, and among the 24 divine kingdoms she's uniquely weak, with no one even comparable to be found.

In this situation, the only one she can turn to for help is Xiao Feng.

"That guy shows up neither early nor late—why does he appear just when you got the War Horn? Be honest with me, did you find an outsider to trick me into giving up my perfect High God artifact?" Xiao Feng asked seriously, fearing it might be a trap.

Upon hearing that, Mi hurriedly denied, "No, it's not like that—I have a contract with Master, I'd never dare betray him! I also don't know how that person learned I have the War Horn in my hand; perhaps... perhaps he got the news from the Abyss."

Abyss?

Hmm... that actually seems somewhat possible.

The Bloodthirsty Demon God has been dead for so long; some powerful beings in Shen Jie, upon hearing the news, would surely suspect whether the War Horn has returned to Shen Jie.

And at that time Mi had just happened to go to the Abyss, and then mysteriously disappeared.

Combining this information, plus Mi recently broke through to the main god realm, anyone who puts a little thought into it can figure it out with about eighty or ninety percent accuracy.

Although others' guessing process was wrong, the result happened to be correct!

Such a situation is also quite helpless.

"Alright, I'll believe you this once." Xiao Feng did not continue to question her.

He said, "From what you just said, it seems you can already use the power of the War Horn; has the seal been completely lifted now?"

Mi replied, "It hasn't been fully unsealed yet, but thanks to the baptism of the War Rules, I can already exert forty percent of its effect. As long as the master agrees to let me temporarily merge with the War Horn, my strength will increase greatly; although I still cannot defeat the enemy, at the very least, at the very least… I can preserve the dignity of the Divine Kingdom."

"Hmm, then go ahead and use it for now." Xiao Feng had no hesitation and agreed to her request.

Now that he has the Heavenly Dao Whisk in his hand, his need for the War Horn is not so strong.

Mi is, after all, a ruler of a nation; if repeatedly killed by the wild primordial gods of the Elemental Sea, it would be a great loss of face, and it would also look bad on his face as the master.

"Thank you, master!" Upon receiving his approval, Mi was overjoyed and repeatedly expressed thanks.

"No need to thank me; the horn's rental fee is 100 million divine stones." Xiao Feng said lightly.

Mi: ……
