Two kilometers away, on an inconspicuous little hill, Qin Feng stood quietly, his gaze fixed intently on the fierce battle between Liu Ruyan, Yu Chang, and the others in the distance.

Qin Feng's feelings were extremely complicated at this moment. Although Liu Ruyan may no longer be the same as before, this body still belonged to Liu Ruyan.

If Liu Ruyan were to face a life-or-death crisis, would he be able to bear to sit idly by?

Yu Chang's strength was already on par with Liu Ruyan's, and now there were more than a dozen Hongmeng Saint Emperors coming to help her.

Under these circumstances, it would be virtually impossible for Liu Ruyan to win, and she might even perish in this fierce battle.

Qin Feng hesitated, but ultimately decided to refrain from intervening for the time being and see how the situation developed.

Because with Liu Ruyan's strength, she can hold out for a long time.

Therefore, Qin Feng decided to use this time to infiltrate the Xuanling Mountains and search for Xiao Lin's whereabouts.

Immediately, Qin Feng used the Earth Escape Technique to burrow underground and rapidly head towards the Xuanling Mountains.

The reason for choosing to proceed underground rather than in the air is that a massive battle involving hundreds of thousands of people is taking place in the sky, with terrifying energy storms everywhere, making air travel far too dangerous.

It could easily have repercussions and get discovered.

Everything went as Qin Feng had expected, and without any unexpected events, he successfully entered the Xuanling Mountain Range.

Because the battlefield was located outside the Xuanling Mountains, this mountain range was spared the ravages of war and remained peaceful and tranquil.

After Qin Feng burst out of the ground, he soared into the sky a thousand meters high in the blink of an eye.

Without hesitation, he released his powerful divine sense, enveloping the entire Xuanling Mountain Range like a giant net, meticulously searching every inch of land and every cave for Xiao Lin's whereabouts.

However, after a long and careful search, the results were very disappointing.

He searched almost the entire Xuanling Mountain Range, leaving no corner unchecked, but still couldn't find Xiao Lin.

"Strange, didn't Xiao Lin return to the Xuanling Mountains to find Liu Ruyan?"

Qin Feng frowned, his face grim, muttering to himself, "If he didn't come back here, then where did he go?"

Qin Feng frowned and pondered for a while, his eyes gleaming as he looked towards the Misty Forest, muttering to himself, "Could that woman have deceived me?"

"Is Xiao Lin still inside the Misty Forest?"

The woman Qin Feng mentioned was none other than the mysterious woman in the Misty Forest—Feng Youyou.

"I'm not lying to you, your son really isn't in the Misty Forest!"

Just then, Feng Youyou's voice suddenly rang in Qin Feng's ears, startling him.

"Damn it!" Qin Feng instinctively turned around, staring wide-eyed at Feng Youyou who had appeared behind him at some point, and roared angrily, "Do you know that this is going to scare people to death?"

At this moment, Qin Feng was covered in cold sweat because he realized that Feng Youyou had been following him all along without his knowledge.

If Feng Youyou wanted to kill him, he probably wouldn't even have time to react before he was already dead.

Feng Youyou looked at Qin Feng with an innocent expression and said calmly, "Why are you so agitated? I just happened to be passing by."

Qin Feng naturally didn't believe her words. He stared at Feng Youyou and said coldly, "Is Xiao Lin really not in the Misty Forest?"

Feng Youyou sighed softly and said, "I really didn't lie to you, I swear to God. I truly don't know Xiao Lin's whereabouts."

Qin Feng stared intently into Feng Youyou's eyes, trying to find a clue.

However, Feng Youyou's eyes were clear as water, revealing no falsehood.

Seeing that Qin Feng still didn't believe her, Feng Youyou sighed helplessly. "Sigh. I really didn't lie to you!"

She looked at Qin Feng, a hint of grievance and helplessness flashing in her eyes.

Then, she emphasized, "You are now my follower, so how could I possibly kidnap your son?"

Her voice carried a hint of firmness and sincerity.

Then, she smiled wryly and continued, "Did you really think I would use your son to blackmail you?"

A look of disdain flashed in her eyes.

Finally, she sneered and said sarcastically, "Heh. With your abilities, do I need to go to all this trouble?"

Her words revealed both disdain and confidence in Qin Feng.

Qin Feng stared intently at Feng Youyou, his gaze sharp and deep, as if trying to pierce through her heart.

His eyes revealed a hint of doubt and distrust.

After a while, Qin Feng slowly nodded and said firmly, "That would be best!"

Immediately afterwards, Qin Feng's thoughts drifted to Liu Ruyan. His brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject, saying to Feng Youyou, "Feng Youyou, can you do me a favor?"

Feng Youyou blinked, a sweet smile spreading across her lips. She looked at Qin Feng curiously and asked softly, "What kind of help?"

Qin Feng turned around, looked out of the Xuanling Mountains, raised his hand, and pointed in the direction where Liu Ruyan was.

His voice was deep and firm: "Help me save that woman!"

Feng Youyou looked in the direction Qin Feng was pointing and understood Qin Feng's intention.

She nodded gently and said with a smile, "Okay, I promise you. However, you can save her, but you must tell me everything about her."

Qin Feng hesitated slightly, but ultimately decided to tell the truth.

He took a deep breath and told her about Liu Ruyan's identity and their relationship.

Upon hearing this, Feng Youyou's lips curled into a slight smile, a sly glint in her eyes. "Interesting!"

"I promise you!"

"If her life is in danger, I will step in to save her!"

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. With Feng Youyou's help to save Liu Ruyan, the outcome was almost certain!

He could save her himself, but if he did, he would likely be seen as a traitor by the allied forces of various races.

Not only will he be in trouble, but the Ice Spirit Immortal Palace may also be implicated.

As the master of the Ice Spirit Immortal Palace, he naturally had to consider the interests of the Ice Spirit Immortal Palace unless absolutely necessary.

"Thank you, consider this a favor I owe you!"

Qin Feng said firmly, "If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay this favor!"

Feng Youyou smiled and looked at Qin Feng, saying, "No need to be so polite. After all, you are my attendant, and it's only right that I help you with what I can!"

Qin Feng merely glanced at Feng Youyou, without any pretense, and directly concealed his presence, slowly flying towards the outside of the Xuanling Mountains.

Feng Youyou's eyes flickered for a moment, then she immediately concealed herself and followed.
