Slow Fairy Road (Fairy Spirit Realm) 39 Thirty-eight, Kunlun Territory (Eighteen)

  In an instant, several people's eyes met, their expressions different.

  Especially when Liu Qianbi saw Ruo Jianying standing with his arms around his chest, looking very serious and staring straight at her, seemingly quite dissatisfied. Suddenly, her eyes welled up with tears: Why can't she get rid of this person?! Before she could speak, the other party took two or three steps forward and asked in a stern tone: "What's taking so long? Why didn't you follow closely behind me? If you don't come out now, I'll have to go in and look for you!"

  Liu Qianbi's eyes widened, and she was on the verge of tears. She choked back a sob, finally lowering her head and muttering in a mosquito-like hum: "...... Sorry, waaah, I didn't mean to."

  Xiao Yao had previously been fortunate enough to witness this girl's ferocity when killing monsters, and now looking at her shy and fearful appearance made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. He couldn't help but think that the face she was hiding might be twisted in a sinister grin, secretly plotting to slice Ruo Sword Hero into a thousand pieces.

  She temporarily ignored the two of them, turned to face Zidong who was smiling at her, walked up to him and casually said: "Zidong fellow, where did you go just now? Liu fellow and I only exchanged a couple of words, then when we turned our heads back, your figure was nowhere to be seen, without even a greeting. It made the two of us search around for a while, thinking that something bad had happened to you."

  "Really? I didn't expect Reiyo to care about me so much," Zidong said with a surprised and slightly pleased expression, "I thought that without me, you might even be happier, or at least more at ease." He drew out the last sentence, his tone full of meaning.

  It's a coincidence! Xiao Yao's eyes flickered, but she wouldn't admit it. A smile spread across her face as she said, "Why would that be? We've all traveled together and have a good relationship. As long as fellow daoists don't have ulterior motives, no one will look down on each other."

  Zi Dong thought for a moment, then revealed an extremely distressed expression, blinking his eyes and saying: "But what if I have second thoughts?"

  “……”

  This person speaks in a muddled and deceitful way, sometimes true, sometimes false. After repeated attempts, Xiao Yao has gone from being annoyed to numb, she's too lazy to bother with him anymore and shifts her attention to Yu Feng instead.

  Since she and Liu Qianbi entered, Yu Feng only glanced at them briefly at first, then shifted his attention to the only exit in this cave chamber except for the entrance. This exit was also equipped with a seal, but unlike the previous cave chamber, above this exit were two golden characters "Treasury" that shone brightly, in the same style as the "Exit" characters they had seen earlier. Yu Feng's eyes gleamed with greed, and he couldn't hide it.

  Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao only felt a faint tremble at the corner of her forehead, and she didn't need to look again to know what kind of fate awaited them next.

  "I said," After a moment, Yu Feng spoke up, turning around with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the four people's faces. "Have you four finished your reunion? If so, shouldn't we consider how to leave from here?"

  Judging from his tone of speech, he seemed to have taken himself as the leader. However, the four people did not show any dissatisfaction, nor did they speak, but only looked at him, indicating that he should continue speaking.

  Yu Feng said, "Since being transported to this inexplicable place, it's been almost ten hours. Setting aside personal grudges, we're all in the same boat. With only one day left before the Kunlun border closes, if we're really trapped here, even if we wait another day or two, who knows when we'll be able to leave? We might even fall. Does everyone feel resigned to their fate?"

  "Get to the point." Seeing him beating around the bush, Rong Jianying was slightly impatient.

  "Cough," Yu Feng lightly coughed to cover up his embarrassment, "I know the way out, it's in the previous passageway. I happened to obtain a worn-out jade slip, which has a map of the exit route."

  He then told the four of them the name of this mountain and that they had to leave from the red spatial crack above, which was exactly the same as what Zidong said earlier.

  Having finished speaking, he looked at several people with a complacent face, hoping to see an excited expression on their faces.

  However, unfortunately, the four of them still did not respond, and their faces also did not reveal too much surprise or joy.

  For a moment, I felt embarrassed and asked in an unpleasant tone: "What's wrong with you guys? Don't you want to leave?"

  Ling Jianying raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Brother Dao has been talking for so long, beating around the bush without getting to the point. If you really don't want to reveal the route, there's no need to force it. We'll figure out a way to break through on our own. Why must you keep us in suspense?"

  The gentle breeze blew, and his eyes revealed a hint of anger, but he quickly suppressed his emotions. He spoke succinctly: "Behind the cave with restrictions is a treasure trove, and the only way out is after the treasure trove. Now the only obstacle is the restriction in front of us, we need to think of a way to work together to break it."

  As they spoke, he glanced at the four of them again, but still no one showed any joy, and suddenly felt a bit disappointed. Anyway, what needed to be said had been said, so he closed his mouth and stopped talking, waiting for the four to respond.

  "I won't lift the ban." Ruo Jianying said first.

  "I...I won't either," Liu Qianbi said from beginning to end with her head hung low, twisting her clothes.

  Zi Dong just smiled and didn't speak, Yu Feng's eyes were almost blinded by flowers, but it was useless. In the end, he could only pin his last hope on Xiao Yao.

  "What does your fellow judoka think?"

  "I'm not familiar with the formation's seal either," Xiao Yao thought for a moment before slowly speaking, "Let's not discuss lifting the seal for now. This place is extremely strange and suspicious. Fellow Daoist Yu, didn't you ever suspect that the Jade Slip might be a trap? You believed it so easily, isn't that a bit too rash?"

  Yu Feng said confidently, "Don't worry about this, my friend. The jade slip has a map of the entire mountain's cave distribution. I've compared it with some roads before, and they're identical, not even a hair's breadth off. It should be reliable, at least 70 or 80% credible."

  Xiao Yao listened and did not raise any more objections, only suggesting: "Later on, there will be other Taoist friends arriving one after another, and it's likely that there won't be a lack of those who are skilled in array techniques. We might as well wait here for a while."

  "Wait?" Yu Feng's eyes widened as if he had heard something unbelievable, "Could it be that Daoist friend didn't hear clearly what I just said? The back of this cave is actually a treasure trove! Are you willing to divide it among five people or ten to twenty people?!"

  He said this to the other three people, who knew the way out and had no interest in the treasure, what kind of cultivators are they?!

  Xiao Yao didn't know what others thought, but as for her, even if this treasure trove was filled with divine artifacts and yuan crystals, she wouldn't have any ulterior motives. Hadn't the master just been standing beside her, with a calculating expression on his face?

  Then she looked relieved and said, "You need to have the ability to get the treasure, if we can't solve the formation then it's not our fate, don't force it."

  Yu Feng was already seething with internal injuries, and then he saw Luo Jianying find a corner to sit down and start wiping his flying sword. He was speechless. It's said that cultivators are always fighting against heaven, earth, and man at every moment, but someone like this who is "clear-minded and few desires" is truly rare. Or perhaps... As he thought about it, a hint of darkness flashed across the bottom of his eyes.

  "I can break through the formation."

  Just as Yu Feng's heart was filled with anxiety, a voice like heavenly music echoed in his ears.

  In an instant, eight gazes were cast towards Zidong, who was laughing harmlessly, with some filled with delight, some with curiosity, and others with shock.

  "Why didn't you say so earlier, fellow Taoist?" Yu Feng stepped forward two steps, half surprised and half suspicious.

  Zi Dong replied calmly, "When you asked me earlier, I happened to be studying that seal. It took some time. After all, we need to examine it carefully, otherwise, if we can't solve it after speaking out, won't everyone be disappointed?"

  Yu Feng nodded, not caring whether what he said was reasonable or not. He asked urgently: "I don't know how confident you are in unlocking this seal? How long will it take? As long as the seal can be unlocked, the treasure in the treasury can be divided into more shares, and you will have priority in choosing. If there's anything that needs help, just say so, I'll definitely do my best."

  "I'll lift the seal first, and we can discuss what happens next later. Besides... " Zidong paused for a moment, his expression seeming to smile yet not quite smiling, "If there's only one treasure inside, what will you do then?"

  Yu Feng's awkwardness was slightly alleviated, the fervent color in his eyes subdued, but his gaze remained fixed on Zi Dong, afraid of missing something.

  Xiao Yao took everything in and felt that this person was somewhat different from his previous impression. The first two times they met, he was clearly a reckless and proud person who wouldn't suffer losses, but now he had become tolerant. Was this change really just because of the treasure? Or was there another reason?

  In a flash of thought, a "rumbling" sound was heard, and Zidong had already lifted the seal!

  But in a short time, even if it were someone else, they would only be able to touch the restricted area once or twice. What he did was not breaking the restriction, but rather like sweeping away cobwebs, without exerting any effort at all.

  The four of them didn't even have time to feel emotional, when their attention was diverted by what happened next: in the instant that the seal was broken, a large amount of thick and heavy yin energy poured out from the cave, quickly filling the entire room where the five people were.

  The heavy aura made Xiao Yao's face change, and she asked Yu Feng: "Yu Dao friend, with such a heavy aura, are you sure there is really a treasure inside?"

  "It's written like this on the jade tablet," At this moment, Yu Feng's expression was exceptionally calm, even with a hint of piety and suppressed joy. The corners of his lips slightly rose, and his eyes shone brightly as he looked at Xiao Yao, "Whether it's true or false, we'll know once we go in."

  After finishing speaking, he ignored everyone and flew into the cave first.

  At this time, there were only four people left outside. Xiang Ya and Zi Dong were the closest to the entrance, but Zi Dong just smiled and made a polite gesture with his hand, without any intention of entering the cave first. This caused Xiang Ya to narrow her eyes slightly, although she was certain that there was a trap inside, she had no other choice. In the Immortal Realm, it is said: Zi Dong's rules are inviolable, and even if it means risking life and limb, one must still charge forward.

  She focused her mind, raised her vigilance, and plunged head-on into the cave entrance filled with evil energy. After flying for a while in the narrow and dark cave, when she was about to exit, before she could even adapt to the outside light, a loud rumbling sound erupted behind her. Turning her head back, she saw that the cave entrance behind her was shrouded by a layer of black evil energy, forming a seal!

  After a brief astonishment, Xiao Yao quickly regained her composure and looked straight ahead, saying:

  "Yu Dao You, what do you mean by this?"
