Above the dense forest.

Feng Yuan Immortal Lord caught up with Qin Wan with a sullen face, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Are you just going to leave me like this?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan looked at him in surprise, "Immortal Lord, why would you think that?"

"Your cultivation is so high that those demonic beasts can only kneel down and beg for mercy in front of you."

“I’m different. If I stay, I’ll only hold you back and expose your weaknesses.”

"What if those demonic beasts are cunning and use me as bait to threaten you, Immortal Lord?"

"Immortal Lord, don't you agree?"

Feng Yuan Immortal Lord: "..." Speechless.

"Oh."

"You certainly think things through thoroughly," said Feng Yuan Immortal Lord in a sarcastic tone.

Qin Wan seemed not to realize he was being sarcastic, and smiled shyly, "You flatter me, Immortal Lord."

Feng Yuan Immortal Lord: "..." Is this girl really stupid or just pretending?

If he was faking his stupidity, why did he endure so many years of bullying and unfair treatment from the Qin family?

If he's really stupid, then...

Never mind, this isn't important.

All he needs to do is repay her for saving his life and protect her.

Whether she was truly foolish or pretending was unimportant to him, and he didn't care.

Even so, for a fleeting moment, a thought uncontrollably flashed through Feng Yuan Xianjun's mind.

If Qin Wan is truly foolish, it's no wonder that Qin Chao would both suck her blood and despise her, treating her with such a terrible attitude.

Qin Wan's ability to infuriate people is truly exceptional.

"By the way, Immortal Lord, where are we going now?"

"Are we just going to run around aimlessly like this? Isn't there any other way to deal with this monster tide?"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Fengyuan looked at her with surprise, "A monster tide?"

"Did you see clearly?"

Qin Wan was taken aback, then came to her senses. "When I was running away just now, I secretly took a look. As the flowers bloomed, a strange fragrance spread in all directions."

"I vaguely remember seeing a record in an ancient book in the Phoenix Valley library..."

"The Soul-Devouring Flower will cause those who smell its fragrance to fall into a state of bloodlust."

"There are quite a few magical beasts around here, but they haven't attacked or driven us away because we haven't disturbed or damaged them."

"But under the control of the Soul-Eating Flower, the monsters were left with only their bloodthirsty instincts..."

As Qin Wan recounted her story, Feng Yuan Xianjun's gaze softened further, filled with kindness.

He favored disciples who were well-read, had broad horizons, and were knowledgeable.

These kinds of disciples are easy and worry-free to teach, and they give you a huge sense of pride.

As he pondered, Immortal Lord Fengyuan suddenly looked at Qin Wan with a serious expression and promised, "Don't worry, I will do everything in my power to help you with the fateful entanglement between you and the Qin Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan was slightly taken aback, as if she hadn't expected him to say that.

But Qin Wan was stunned for only a second before she didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she politely bowed and thanked him.

"Then Qin Wan thanks the Immortal Lord in advance."

Feng Yuan Immortal Lord nodded in satisfaction, then raised his hand and pointed to a snow-capped mountain in the distance.

"Once you cross that Sky Mountain, there will be a natural barrier that will prevent these magical beasts from getting close."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan suddenly looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing this, Immortal Lord Feng Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Qin Wan hesitated for a second before tentatively speaking, "It seems that the Immortal Lord is extremely knowledgeable about this Abyss Secret Realm."

"That's for sure," Feng Yuan Immortal Lord admitted with a proud expression.

"The Abyss Secret Realm opens once every hundred years, and I will come here to train with disciples of different generations in the valley."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan immediately looked at Immortal Lord Feng Yuan with admiration, "Immortal Lord is indeed very experienced."

For some reason, the appearance of the words "experienced" made Feng Yuanxianjun's heart skip a beat, and a strong sense of foreboding washed over him.

As expected...

He had just suppressed that thought when Qin Wan's next words came...

"No wonder the Immortal Lord knows so much about how to deal with this monster tide; he must have had a lot of personal experience with it."

"..." Feng Yuan Immortal Lord's lips twitched wildly.

If he understood correctly, Qin Wan was saying that he, a dignified immortal lord, was being chased by a group of demonic beasts and was running around like a rat in the street.

Thinking of this, Feng Yuan Xianjun's face suddenly darkened.

"Qin Wan!"

Feng Yuan Immortal Lord stared at Qin Wan with a sullen face, feigning anger.

Unexpectedly, Qin Wan suddenly called out to him, "Immortal Lord, be careful."

Sensing the murderous attack from behind, Feng Yuan Xianjun's expression changed drastically. He summoned his natal spirit sword and engaged the opponent in battle.

Suddenly, a massive black eagle, its wingspan obscuring the sky, appeared above the spaceship, its sharp claws slashing down fiercely at Feng Yuan Xianjun.

"Clang clang clang!"

The sounds of swords and claws clashing echoed continuously.

Qin Wan reacted quickly and nimbly, slipping into the cabin, activating its defensive barrier, and then peering out the window, feigning concern as she watched Feng Yuan Xianjun's location.

During a lull in the fighting, Immortal Lord Fengyuan, worried about Qin Wan, turned around to take a final look...

It's better not to look at it, because once you do, it's a disaster.

When did this girl run away?

How come he didn't notice anything?

They even activated the defensive barrier inside the ship's cabin!

How afraid of death is she?

As a disciple of Phoenix Valley, shouldn't she have some awareness of what a cultivator should do?

Her purpose in coming to the Abyss Secret Realm was to gain experience, improve her combat skills, and train herself properly.

We didn't send her to hide and live in fear of death!

Thinking of this, Feng Yuan Immortal Lord, slightly angry, fiercely cleaved the black eagle in two with his sword.

A sharp eagle's cry echoed through the valley, its power tearing at the soul...

The spaceship was struck by Black Hawk's dying attack and swayed uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the ship's defensive barrier was open, so Qin Wan only trembled violently for a moment before regaining her balance and was not injured.

As for Immortal Lord Fengyuan, the fierce battle, coupled with Qin Wan's adding fuel to the fire, made him so angry that he clutched his chest and gasped for breath, while his other hand trembled as he pointed to Qin Wan's location at the window.

"Immortal Lord, you are truly amazing!"

"You are the most amazing person I have ever met in my life!"

To Feng Yuan Xianjun's surprise, the moment he looked at her with his "condemning" gaze, Qin Wan immediately gave him a thumbs up, her face full of admiration and longing.

He opened his mouth and launched into a long string of praises, leaving him stunned. The words of reprimand that were on the tip of his tongue got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them anymore.

"..."

Feng Yuan Immortal Lord's thin lips were pressed tightly together, and his expression darkened slightly.

Just then, Qin Wan wisely turned off the defensive barrier, walked over with a concerned look on her face, and looked at him expectantly.

"Immortal Lord, are you alright?"

She still cares about him; at least this silly girl has some conscience.

Thinking it over, Feng Yuanxian glanced at Qin Wan sideways and snorted coldly.

"Immortal Lord, the Sky Snow Mountain is just ahead. The monster horde behind us shouldn't be able to catch up. Would you like to go into the cabin and rest for a while?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Wan seemed to have thought of something, her brows furrowed, and a troubled look appeared on her face.

"But my sister is still in the cabin, and the Immortal Lord probably doesn't want to see her..."

"..."

Although Qin Wan was telling the truth, he really didn't want to see Qin Chao, this scheming and ruthless woman.

But... Qin Wan's blatant statement made him somewhat uncomfortable.
