"You want to obtain the divine artifact?" Xiao Feng looked at Su Xueqing, whose eyes were filled with determination, with some surprise.

“Yes, I want to obtain the divine artifact.” Su Xueqing’s eyes were fixed on Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng frowned, and asked with some confusion, "Why?"

Su Xueqing didn't speak, but lowered her head slightly, as if she didn't know how to tell Xiao Feng about this.

“I’m not criticizing you, I’m just curious why you would try to seize the artifact under these circumstances, knowing full well how dangerous it is.”

Xiao Feng never mentioned the ancient artifact to them, because he was worried that they might have some ideas about it.

Are ancient artifacts necessarily good?

Regarding this question, Xiao Feng previously believed that since it could be called a divine weapon, it must be good.

But Xiao Feng trusted his own intuition.

Although the system has not detected any danger so far.

But Xiao Feng still couldn't forget the feeling he had in the shadows, as if danger was approaching, the moment the earth shook.

In Xiao Feng's opinion, the treasures that Taotie led them to find were even better than this ancient artifact.

It's safe, and there's no need to worry about too many people knowing, so there's no one competing with them.

But faced with Su Xueqing's firm attitude, Xiao Feng was at a loss for words.

"I know it's dangerous, but I'm doing this for the sake of the entire Ming Cult." Faced with Xiao Feng's attempt to persuade her, Su Xueqing made up her mind and looked at Xiao Feng directly.

"For the Ming Cult?" Xiao Feng repeated.

"Yes, if I can obtain the divine artifact, the Ming Cult members will no longer have to hide. This is my mission, something I must do, and I cannot give it up."

This was the first time Su Xueqing had shown such a resolute attitude, which made Xiao Feng swallow back the words of persuasion that were already on the tip of his tongue.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Feng looked up again, but not at Su Xueqing, but at Zhao Yuwei beside him.

Zhao Yuwei understood Xiao Feng and knew that the look in his eyes meant he had decided to help Su Xueqing fight for the divine artifact.

Xiao Feng himself had no interest in this magical artifact.

But since Su Xueqing wants it and has such a reason, even if Xiao Feng is considering Wu Hai's sake, he will definitely help Su Xueqing get the artifact.

In response, the understanding Zhao Yuwei said that she would support Xiao Feng's decision no matter what he wanted to do.

Despite Zhao Yuwei's radiant smile, Xiao Feng was unwilling to let them stay and adventure with him.

So Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and said, "I can help you with the matter of vying for the divine artifact."

Su Xueqing's face lit up with joy.

Xiao Feng turned to the others and said, "Senior Dragon Bone, Senior Red Frost, please take Little Dragon and Dragon Baby, along with Senior Sister, and stay here. If you have the opportunity to leave the secret realm, please do so."

Xiao Feng knew that Han Ya also had designs on the divine artifact, so he didn't include Han Ya in his calculations.

He wouldn't let everyone accompany him and Su Xueqing on their adventure.

Dragon Bone and Red Frost frowned.

Dragon Bone spoke up: "Since you're going to compete for the divine artifact, you must be lacking helpers. Why don't you let us go with you?"

Xiao Feng shook his head firmly, then said, "The struggle for the divine artifact is fraught with danger. This is my own decision. I cannot let the two seniors go through the danger with us. The two little dragons need protection. Please stay in a safe place."

Zhao Yuwei immediately said, "What about me? I don't need to stay in a safe place. I want to be with you."

Xiao Feng shook his head firmly and said with a serious expression, "This journey is fraught with danger, and I don't want to involve you. I know your feelings, Senior Sister, but I also hope that you can listen to me on this matter."

Zhao Yuwei certainly didn't want to listen to Xiao Feng.

If Dragon Bone and Red Frost don't join them in vying for the artifact, their chances of obtaining it will be much lower.

If I don't follow Xiao Feng to his side soon, and something happens, it will be too late for me to regret it.

Therefore, Zhao Yuwei wanted to refuse Xiao Feng's arrangement.

Seeing Xiao Feng's serious expression, Zhao Yuwei didn't want to upset him.

"What if there's danger?" Zhao Yuwei asked.

"It's alright. My strength has greatly increased now, and I just obtained so many treasures in the secret realm. If we are destined to obtain a divine artifact, we will naturally be able to get it."

"Go to a safe place and wait for us. Once you can leave the secret realm, leave as soon as possible. We will meet up in the small town outside the secret realm then."

Seeing that Xiao Feng had already made arrangements for the rest of the situation, Zhao Yuwei could only agree with tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, Su Xueqing opened her mouth.

But she knew that she couldn't take down the artifact by herself; she needed Xiao Feng's help.

Xiao Feng was already being very kind by helping her, so why should she demand that the others stay and accompany her into the danger?

After deciding on the personnel's fate, Xiao Feng looked at Han Ya to the side.

Han Ya said, "Of course I will go and compete for the divine artifact. Please continue to take care of Little Dragon for me."

The baby dragon, who had been nestled in Hong Shuang's arms, seemed to sense something and crawled out of her embrace.

The baby dragon whimpered in the direction of the cold cliff.

Upon hearing the sound, Han Ya stepped forward and took the baby dragon from Hong Shuang's arms.

The dragon baby, who used to be reluctant to get close to Hanya, now wrapped its short tail around Hanya's wrist, seemingly unwilling to let Hanya be separated from it.

This should have been something that made Hanya happy.

But this moment of impending parting is exceptionally agonizing.

Han Ya silently raised his finger and gently stroked the dragon baby wrapped around his wrist.

The baby dragon raised its head and nudged Han Ya's finger with its little head, as if it were trying to tell him something.

A hint of tenderness flashed in Han Ya's eyes, before they returned to their previous cold indifference.

A surge of immense power erupted from Han Ya's fingertips and rapidly flowed into the dragon baby's body.

Hongshuang was about to say something when Longgu pulled her aside.

Hong Shuang saw Long Gu shake his head and knew that Long Gu didn't want her to interfere with Han Ya's decision.

However, doing this would not only damage his own cultivation, but also cause the dragon baby to forget him.

Has Han Ya already prepared himself for the possibility that he might not return from this mission to seize the divine artifact?

Han Ya poured half of his power into the dragon baby's body and formed a seal.

The seal will not be lifted until the dragon baby is able to withstand these powers.

Finally, with love and reluctance for the dragon baby, Han Ya sealed away all of the dragon baby's memories of him.

The baby dragon fell into a deep sleep. Han Ya handed the baby dragon back to Hong Shuang and then turned his back.

"You should leave as soon as possible. The secret realm is in turmoil right now, and the passage to the outside world must have been opened. It will be safer for you to leave from here," Han Ya said coldly.
