Chapter 105 Each Forms Their Own Team
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Feng stepped out of the Spirit Abyss and arrived at a garden shrouded in misty mountains and waters.
As soon as he stepped out of the teleportation array, Zhang Feng noticed several divine senses scanning him.
Zhang Feng peeked through a crack and saw that in a pavilion corridor, the extremely yin old ghost was giving off a "kind" smile, while Wu Chou stood behind the extremely yin ghost, revealing his ferocity.
Qingyi, standing to the side, nodded slightly to himself.
Deep inside, a large, bearded man squatted down. Noticing the two's movements, he also paid some attention to Zhang Feng.
Opposite this pavilion is a small pavilion where three righteous Nascent Soul cultivators are seated.
Wan Tianming glanced at Zhang Feng once, then stopped, raising his teacup towards the bearded man.
The bearded man snorted coldly, turned his face away, and stopped paying attention to Zhang Feng.
"Kid, you're finally out!"
A divine sense transmission reached Zhang Feng's ear.
Zhang Feng glanced over and saw that it was indeed the Xuan Gu Old Demon, sitting casually under a spirit tree, fiddling with his fingers.
"Senior Xuan Gu seems to be in a good mood!"
"How can he still have such leisure and composure when facing a traitor who betrayed him!"
Zhang Feng stepped into a sea of flowers and transmitted his thoughts through telepathy.
"Ha, your mouth is like it's coated with poison, always hitting where it hurts!"
Xuan Gu didn't take it seriously.
"Do you think I can't see that you and that brat Han Li have secretly formed a partnership?"
"Oh, how can you be so certain, senior?"
Zhang Feng settled down amidst the sea of flowers. The scenery in this Void Heaven Palace was truly unique, with a touch of ethereal beauty.
"Hahaha, from what I've observed, my rebellious disciple, Ji Yin, has been paying unusual attention to you two ever since he entered the Void Heaven Palace!"
"You're not his juniors, yet he's so overly concerned about you."
"Either you have something he needs, or you have a deep-seated hatred for him."
Xuan Gu chuckled and transmitted his voice.
"Oh, your observations are truly meticulous!"
"I wonder, if Senior Jiyin learns of your true identity, will you prioritize settling our scores first, or will you eliminate this hidden danger?"
Zhang Feng casually picked a small flower, threw it into the flowing water, and transmitted his voice freely.
"Hmph, you brat, all you do is talk. If you still want the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, you'd better follow me properly."
"As long as you agree to help me deal with the extreme Yin, you will definitely get a share of this Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng."
Xuan Gu seemed confident of victory, leaving behind a telepathic message before ignoring Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng was happy to agree. He had a map in his hand and would later send a telepathic message to Qing Yi, asking him to take action.
However, such a creation of heaven and earth as the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng is probably only one in existence at this time.
In other words, the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng map in Zhang Feng's possession is very likely the same place that Xuan Gu ultimately went to.
Before long, three figures appeared from the teleportation array.
Zhang Feng looked up and saw Han Li, Zi Ling, and the man in black robes. The three were slightly out of breath, clearly having just experienced a fierce battle.
Zhang Feng was surprised that Yuan Yao, who was clearly ahead of him, still appeared with Han Li and his group.
However, this Spirit Abyss Land is quite mysterious. Zhang Feng wandered around inside without encountering the Yin Spirit Ghost King, but Han Li and his group did.
Han Li's appearance immediately caught Xuan Gu's attention.
Zhang Feng noticed that it had already begun to transmit its divine sense.
Equally delighted was the Old Ghost of Extreme Yin, who stared intently at Han Li.
"Kid, have you made enemies with Ji Yin?"
"That old guy really cares about you!"
Just as Zhang Feng was pondering, Qing Yi's voice transmission reached his ear.
Zhang Feng thought for a moment and then told the truth: "Reporting to senior, I do have some grudges with Ji Yin. I once repelled Ji Yin's possession technique on Scorpion Island, which ruined his plans."
"Oh, hahaha, so you were the one who pulled that vote. Good for you."
Qingyi's tone was somewhat excited.
"The next level is called the Ice and Fire Path. Before entering the next level, you will be teleported to a spatial location where there are many spiritual herbs."
"Do you have any elixirs you wish to search for?"
"Since I have nothing better to do, I might as well help you search."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng's face lit up with joy; it was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy.
He was still wondering how to bring it up with Qingyi.
"This junior is indeed searching for a spiritual object called the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng."
"What? The Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng? How are you going to find such a treasure created by heaven and earth?"
"I once did something for the Star Palace, and in return, Elder Jin Kui bestowed upon me a map of the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng."
"Oh, I see. Looks like you've got quite a bit of luck."
"Alright then, follow me later, and I will protect you as you search for the elixir."
The two ended their telepathic communication.
Since they were going to work together, Zhang Feng considered whether he should reveal some information, since once they started looking for the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, they would inevitably run into the Mysterious Bone.
Ultimately, it is highly likely to encounter extreme Yin.
If I knew the truth but didn't report it, wouldn't I be betraying Old Man Qingyi's sincere feelings?
None of the cultivators who can form a Nascent Soul are stupid.
If he hadn't revealed it first, and Qingyi had discovered the truth himself, this blood bond might have been easily broken.
Without Qingyi's help, this trip to the inner palace would have been far too dangerous.
"This formation is the only way to the entrance to the second level of the outer hall, Ice and Fire Island. Before you officially arrive at the Ice and Fire Path, you can pick some spiritual herbs and fruits in the area you are teleported to as a reward for passing the first level."
"If you feel that the next level is too dangerous, you can choose not to enter the Ice and Fire Path."
"Just wait where you are, and a teleportation array to leave the Void Heaven Palace will appear in a month."
"Please make yourselves at home, everyone."
Just as Zhang Feng was pondering, the teleportation array of the Ice and Fire Path had already been opened by the two elders of the Star Palace.
"You two, follow me into the teleportation array."
"I will use my unique technique to lead the two of you to find the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng."
"Fortunately, both of you have been targeted by the Yin, otherwise I would have no reason to ask you to cooperate with me."
Xuan Gu's telepathic message arrived just in time.
Zhang Feng glanced at Han Li at the opportune moment, while Han Li was also observing Zhang Feng's movements.
"Fellow Daoist Han, you follow this fiend first, I'll stay behind you."
"If we go one in front and one behind, we can look out for each other."
Zhang Feng transmitted his voice.
Han Li pondered for a moment, feeling the needle-like probing behind him, and said nothing more.
He was being closely watched by Ji Yin, and if he didn't want to be captured and controlled by Ji Yin, the only way was to follow Xuan Gu.
"Alright, it's a deal. I hope Fellow Daoist Zhang won't forget our prior agreement to cooperate."
Han Li transmitted his voice.
Zhang Feng nodded. "Kid, are you sure you don't want to come with me?"
Xuan Gu got up and headed towards the teleportation array, with Han Li following behind, while Zhang Feng remained unmoved.
"If the seniors have trump cards, then the juniors naturally have some trump cards as well."
Zhang Feng transmitted his voice to the other party.
"Hmph, you'd better watch yourself, the extreme Yin is already close to you!"
Xuan Gu left a message and then led Han Li into the teleportation array.
Zhang Feng turned his face away, and five figures came into his view.
It was Ji Yin, Qing Yi, and Man Hu Zi's group.
"Haha, why are you traveling alone, kid!"
"Would you like to join my Extreme Yin Island? This patriarch will protect you on your treasure hunt!"
Ji Yin walked up to Zhang Feng and reached out to pat Zhang Feng on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Jiyin. I'm used to being free and can't stand being constrained!"
Zhang Feng did not move and answered without changing his expression.
With Qing Yi standing nearby and two Star Palace elders watching, Zhang Feng was certain that Ji Yin wouldn't dare to make a move.
"Oh, you really think you're something special? You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
Wu Chou barked and stepped forward.
"Ahem! Fellow Daoists, do not forget the rules established by my Star Palace!"
Jin Kui glanced at Ji Yin and stood quietly in place.
"Hmph, those wicked villains of the demonic path, they especially enjoy bullying the weak!"
Wan Tianming and his group passed by and snorted coldly.
No, Ji Yin sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.
Why did Jin Kui speak up to stop it?
He did not harm anyone in broad daylight.
And then there's Wan Tianming, that brat. When did it become his place to interrupt the rogue cultivators of the Inner Sea?
Even Qingyi, the old ghost beside him, was getting restless.
This person is clearly just a rogue cultivator, how could he possibly be related to these Nascent Soul cultivators?
His complexion gradually darkened.
"Hey, Brother Wu, this lad is one of my juniors. Please be lenient!"
Qingyi suddenly spoke up, pulling Zhang Feng behind him and saying with a smile.
"Oh, this person is actually Brother Qing's junior. It's like a flood washing away the Dragon King's temple, almost ruining our relationship."
"Wu Chou, step down! Do not act rashly."
Ji Yin followed the steps Qing Yi had provided, a smile on his face.
"What about the ancestor?"
Wu Chou was puzzled and looked towards Ji Yin.
"Hey~ since you're all juniors, you might as well follow us closely and you'll get some benefits in return."
Ji Yin raised his hand to stop Wu Chou's words and spoke to Zhang Feng in a "gentle" tone.
As soon as Ji Yin finished speaking, he immediately noticed that the Nascent Soul cultivators had shifted their attention.
Could this person really be connected to these people?
Ji Yin couldn't help but become more cautious and secretly made his own plans.
His main targets on this trip were Han Li and the treasure from the inner palace. As for Zhang Feng, this junior, he could deal with him later.
Zhang Feng was unaware of Ji Yin's scheme, but Jin Kui and Wan Tianming's sudden appearance surprised him.
It seems that I still have some use in the eyes of these two.
Let's go!
Qingyi gestured for Zhang Feng to follow behind.
Zhang Feng cupped his hands slightly and walked behind Qing Yi, stepping into the teleportation array together.
A flash of golden light, and the group was teleported to a platform.
"Gentlemen, I need to gather medicinal herbs. I will return to the pavilion once I'm done. You may choose to fight Wan Tianming as you see fit!"
"Just don't drag me into this."
Madam Wen left behind a sentence and transformed into a black sword shadow, disappearing into the distance.
The people present exchanged glances. Qingyi smiled and stepped forward to ask, but was stopped by Jiyin raising his hand.
"Brother Qing, Brother Man, I'm on my way to find some rare medicinal herbs to refine into pills. Let's meet again at the canyon later!"
After Ji Yin finished speaking, he nodded to the two of them, then released a cloud of thick black mist to envelop Wu Chou, and the two of them flew together toward a certain place.
"That guy, Ji Yin, has quite a good grasp of escape techniques."
"Fellow Daoist Qing, how about we go and pick some Longevity Fruit together?"
"You're not getting any younger; you need to plan for the future!"
"Is this what the bearded man suggested to Qing Yi?"
"Brother Man, I'm truly sorry, but I need to find some medicinal herbs for this junior, so I'll have to take my leave now!"
Let's meet at the mouth of the canyon!
"Having said that, Qingyi cupped his hands slightly and, with Zhang Feng, transformed into a streak of azure light and flew away."
