Under the gaze of the Golden Eyes of All Laws, a blurry figure appeared in the empty space in front of him.

It's obvious that someone is hiding there.

"You ask me to come out and meet you, but you don't show yourself. Is that polite?" Night Wind said calmly.

"I'm sorry, I was rude."

As the voice came, a bald young man appeared in the empty space.

Night Breeze finally appeared and asked, "What is it?"

“Brother, I am Chen Jie, a rogue cultivator from Falling Maple City. I have seen that your skills are first-rate, so I would like to cooperate with you,” Chen Jie said with a smile.

“I don’t want to cooperate with anyone for the time being.” Ye Feng rejected Chen Jie’s proposal without hesitation.

Chen Jie said with a smile, "I know you must be wary of me, but I think you should seriously consider it. There are more than ten people who have entered this secret realm, and at least six or seven of them are capable of sharing in the benefits."

"If you don't cooperate with me, then whether you can obtain the treasure in this secret realm in the end is still unknown."

After a pause, Chen Jie continued, "Most importantly, this isn't my first time here, so I know this place quite well. If you cooperate with me, I'll guide you, and the two of us can be the first to reach the core area of ​​this hidden paradise. We'll then split the treasures there equally. What do you say?"

This isn't Chen Jie's first time entering this secret realm?

Come to think of it, this secret realm has existed at the bottom of the salt lake for countless years, and the fact that the great formation has been flawed is not a recent development.

Given this, it's not surprising that others discovered the existence of this secret realm early on and entered to explore it.

“We have limited time, so I hope you won’t take too long to consider it,” Chen Jie added.

Night Wind finally nodded: "Alright, we can cooperate, but only within this secret realm. After we leave the secret realm, we'll go our separate ways."

That's good.

Chen Jie nodded in satisfaction and led the way for Ye Feng.

Moreover, both of them had concealed their presence and even their auras to avoid being discovered by other martial artists who had entered this secret realm.

"Actually, this is my fourth time entering this secret realm. Unfortunately, there is a very strong restriction in the core area of ​​the secret realm. I have tried four times but failed to break through the restriction to enter. Naturally, I have not been able to obtain any treasures."

"I originally planned to prepare properly before entering this place and taking the treasures. But I never expected that the young lady of Luofeng City would disappear here, attracting the attention of the city lord of Luofeng City."

"If this continues, the City Lord of Falling Maple City will come to search in person, and he will enter this secret realm at that time. The City Lord of Falling Maple City is a peak Transcendent Realm martial artist. Once he comes here, what benefits will we rogue cultivators have left to gain?"

So that's how it is.

Although Ye Feng knew he couldn't blindly believe Chen Jie's one-sided story, what he said was indeed reasonable and without any loopholes.

Therefore, it is more likely to be the truth.

“Perhaps we can even find the daughter of the Lord of Falling Maple City. If we rescue her and bring her to the Lord of Falling Maple City, we can also get a generous reward,” Chen Jie added.

"We'll see," Ye Feng said calmly.

Chen Jie asked, "Brother, you already know that I am a rogue cultivator from Falling Maple City, but I don't know who you are. Could you tell me now so that I can be at ease?"

Without a second thought, Ye Feng said, "I am a rogue cultivator from Blackfish City. You can call me Feng Ye."

Feng Ye is the reversed pronunciation of Ye Feng, a pseudonym Ye Feng used in the real world.

"So Brother Feng is from Blackfish City."

Chen Jie said with a smile, "I've heard that the blackfish in Blackfish City are very delicious, but unfortunately I haven't tasted them yet."

"Actually, it's just average. I've eaten there, and the taste is only so-so. If you're interested, I can treat you to a meal after we leave the secret realm," Ye Feng said.

Chen Jie said the blackfish was very delicious, but he was just testing the waters.

The city is called Blackfish City simply because blackfish are abundant there; in reality, blackfish don't taste very good.

If Ye Feng continued along with Chen Jie's words, praising the blackfish as delicious, Chen Jie would know that Ye Feng had never tasted the blackfish and was not from Blackfish City.

This was just a small trick.

But such petty tricks are often very effective.

Suddenly, the night wind sensed a faint breath coming from the ground below.

“There are people on the ground,” Chen Jie said.

"Let's go down and take a look."

The night wind did not reveal its presence, remaining hidden close to the ground.

On a tree on the ground sat a girl dressed in fine clothes but covered in dust.

The girl was pale, terrified, and occasionally sobbed.

Upon seeing the girl, Ye Feng immediately guessed who she was.

The daughter of the Lord of Fallen Maple City who went missing on the shore of Salt Lake!

"What good luck! We didn't expect to run into her on the way here even though we weren't looking for her," Chen Jie laughed.

This time, Chen Jie did not use telepathy to communicate with Ye Feng, so the young lady also heard his voice.

The young lady was immediately excited and looked towards Ye Feng and Chen Jie.

"Who is it? Who is speaking?"

"Did you come to save me? Did my father send you to find me?"

Night Breeze hesitated for a moment before finally appearing, while Chen Jie remained hidden in the air.

“Come here and come with us,” Night Wind said.

The young lady was overjoyed and immediately ran towards Ye Feng.

She was limping, as if she had suffered some injury.

At this moment, he didn't care about the impropriety of men and women touching each other. Ye Feng simply carried her on his back, then concealed his figure and flew up.

"Brother Ye, you truly cherish women," Chen Jie said with a smile.

The night wind offered no explanation.

If they hadn't met, Ye Feng wouldn't have actively sought out the daughter of the Lord of Luofeng City.

But since we've run into her on the way, I'll lend her a hand.

Saving one person is nothing to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng and Chen Jie continued flying towards the core area of ​​this secret realm. Along the way, they encountered several bird-like demonic beasts, but both of them had very strong concealment techniques, and those demonic beasts did not detect them.

"My name is Luo Qingling. Who are you?" Luo Qingling asked, clinging to Ye Feng's back.

Luo Qingling was an ordinary person and did not know how to use telepathy, so Chen Jie naturally heard her words.

The night wind did not answer.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Luo Qingling asked again.

"Shut up. If I get annoyed, I'll just leave you here," Night Wind said calmly.

Luo Qingling was startled and immediately realized that this person was not sent by her father, so she quickly shut her mouth and dared not say another word.

Chen Jie chuckled and said, "Brother Feng, you don't need to do this. If this Miss Luo were to offer herself to you, it would be a beautiful story between you two."

"You shut up too," Ye Feng said unhappily.
