After understanding the strength of the Dark Palace, Qin Feng had already formed an idea and said to Zhuge Tian:

"Senior Zhuge, you are right. The Dark Palace has many experts, and we cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom. How many Emperor-level cultivators can you contact now?"

Zhuge Tian sighed.

"Back then, we were utterly annihilated by the Dark Temple and had to flee in a sorry state. Now, I can only contact two old friends."

Xue Luo of Luoyun Sect and Ye Ling of Seven Star Island are slightly lower in cultivation than me, both at the late Emperor Realm.

As for other Emperor-level cultivators, I suspect they still exist, but I have no idea where they are hiding.

If we make a big enough commotion, they'll find out.

Qin Feng nodded, "It's already good enough that we were able to contact the two of you. Let's not talk about the rest for now."

Seeing that Qin Feng had an idea, Zhuge Tian asked curiously, "Young friend, what are your plans?"

Qin Feng's eyes were resolute. "Since this battle is inevitable, why don't we take the initiative?"

Zhuge Tian was greatly surprised and quickly advised:

"Young friend, you must not act rashly. I know you are incredibly powerful, but they outnumber you and have the upper hand."

Qin Feng smiled calmly.

"Don't worry, senior. I'm not the kind of person who's reckless. I'll back down if things don't work out."

Seeing that Zhuge Tian was still quite uneasy, he explained:

"Senior, don't panic. You have three Emperor Realm experts on your side, and I have four on my side. Together, we have seven Emperor Realm experts."

Although I don't know the strength of their temple master and elders, my fight with the three guardians of the Dark Temple gave me a rough estimate of their strength.

I am confident that I can fight them to the death; we already have the strength to fight back.

Since that's the case, why be so passive and wait for others to attack? Wouldn't it be better to strike first?

Zhuge Tian looked at Qin Feng, unsure of what to say.

"It is said that heroes emerge from among the young, and your courage and decisiveness are beyond the reach of many."

He looked at Qin Feng and Ao Ling suspiciously again, "Young friend, you have four Emperor Realm experts on your side?"

Qin Feng explained, "Yes, besides Ling'er and me, there were two other companions. Ling'er was undergoing her tribulation just now, so we temporarily stayed away from them."

When Ao Ling heard Qin Feng mention her, she proudly raised her little head.

Zhuge Tian was both surprised and delighted. "Great! This increases our chances of winning even more. I wonder what their cultivation level is?"

Qin Feng smiled slightly, "Ling'er has just advanced to the Emperor Realm. As for the other two, you will know them naturally if you have met them before."

As he spoke, he took Ao Ling and Zhuge Tian to see Leng Yuexi and Bing Luan.

Zhuge Tian hadn't seen a cultivator at the Emperor Realm for a long time and was very much looking forward to it, which made him recall the passionate moments when they fought against the Dark Palace together.

After a while, Qin Feng returned to his original cultivation spot.

Both Bingluan and Leng Yuexi were cultivating with their eyes closed.

Zhuge Tian sized up Bing Luan, "Mid-stage Emperor Realm, calm and composed aura, not bad."

He then turned his gaze to Leng Yuexi, "Hmm, what is this aura? Why does it give me a feeling of profound mystery? Is it just my imagination?"

Qin Feng also looked at Leng Yuexi with surprise. At this moment, Leng Yuexi was shrouded in a cold light, with mysterious energy flowing around her, making her appear somewhat mysterious.

The light emanating from Leng Yuexi suddenly subsided, returning to normal, but the inexplicable Daoist aura around her still lingered.

Images kept flashing through her mind, replaying various aspects of her past.

Leng Yuexi sometimes frowned, sometimes smiled brightly, but most of the time she was aloof, calm, and expressionless.

In the video, she saw her joyful childhood games, the bitterness of growing up and becoming stronger, and the various embarrassing situations she faced.

However, there is one person who has always occupied an important place in her heart throughout her life, and that person is Qin Feng.

The previous Leng Yuexi was also a favored daughter of heaven, admired by thousands, but she only pursued cultivation and had no interest in anything else.

However, this personality inadvertently attracted many wolves in sheep's clothing. One day, she was ambushed and found herself in danger.

Qin Feng suddenly appeared and saved her from danger, then left gracefully afterward.

Little did she know that Qin Feng had already entered Leng Yuexi's heart, leaving behind an indelible image.

They met several times afterward, and Qin Feng gave Leng Yuexi a lot of guidance in her cultivation, which made her make rapid progress.

Leng Yuexi was extremely grateful to Qin Feng. Despite her single-minded pursuit of the Dao, she secretly developed feelings for him and couldn't forget him.

Unfortunately, Qin Feng was focused solely on cultivation and completely oblivious to Leng Yuexi's feelings for him.

And so, their cultivation levels rose higher and higher, until they reached the Cloud Realm.

Leng Yuexi's memory was interrupted, and she didn't know what happened in between. When she reappeared, she was on the Tianhuang Continent.

About a thousand years ago, she and Qin Feng arrived on the Tianhuang Continent for some unknown reason. They were in a weak state, covered in blood, and clearly injured.

Here, she met Bingluan.

At that time, Bingluan was just an inconspicuous little sparrow. Leng Yuexi felt that she had a connection with her, so she gave her some guidance, which led to the Ice Emperor Bingluan she is today.

All the past events replayed in Leng Yuexi's mind, making her aware of her past self.

It also made her very curious about the missing parts of her memory.

She knew this was a deliberate blockade to protect herself; all she knew was that a powerful enemy awaited her, an existence beyond even immortals.

Qin Feng looked at Leng Yuexi, whose expression was constantly changing, and was somewhat worried, wondering whether he should intervene.

Just then, Leng Yuexi slowly opened her tightly closed eyes.

Her gaze seemed to have traversed millennia to reach the present, so deep and unfathomable.
