"You want to go alone? No! Absolutely not!" Feng Hengkong shook his head without hesitation: "This world of the Ancient Mysterious Ark is strange and unpredictable. Even father has to be careful in it. You might encounter some danger. You must stay by father's side at all times, otherwise father will never be at ease."
“But, Father said that this is the safest place in the entire Primordial Profound Ark, and the place Father is going to now is much more dangerous. Wouldn’t it be safer for Xue’er to just wander around by herself?” Feng Xue’er said softly.
“This…” Feng Hengkong paused, then shook his head: “Xue’er, you have never left Shenhuang City since you were a child, and you have never been to a dangerous place alone, so your father cannot rest assured that you are alone.”
"Well, Xue'er knows that she has been raised under the protection of her father and the elders since she was a child. However, Xue'er has to grow up. It is impossible for her to do everything under the protection of her father. Xue'er is already sixteen years old this year. She has reached the age of making her own decisions and training herself. Isn't this a good starting point? Does the father want Xue'er to grow up under protection forever and never have her own world?"
Feng Xue'er's voice was filled with hope and even a hint of desire.
Feng Hengkong was deeply moved, but he still couldn't rest assured that Feng Xue'er was really walking alone in this dangerous place. After all, for so many years, he had been accustomed to giving Feng Xue'er the utmost protection. He was about to speak when Feng Feiyan came over and whispered in his ear: "Sect Master, Xue'er is right. She is already sixteen years old this year... Although it is not wrong to give her full protection, you can't keep protecting her like this, otherwise, she will never be able to stand on her own, and it will waste her blood and strength. Besides, Xue'er's strength has been exposed in yesterday's ranking battle, so hiding... is not necessary."
“Moreover, with Xue’er’s strength, there is nothing within a thousand miles that can pose a threat to her. As for the others who are traveling alone… even if Ye Xinghan and Ji Qianrou join forces, they can’t be Xue’er’s opponent. If the Sect Master is still worried…” Feng Feiyan gave Feng Hengkong a strange look: “Then I will stay and protect Xue’er in secret, which is just right…”
What Feng Feiyan said was right. With Feng Xue'er's strength, there would be no danger within a thousand miles. If Feng Feiyan was secretly protecting her, it would be absolutely safe... At the same time, if Feng Feiyan took action to kill Yun Che, it would be absolutely safe!
Feng Hengkong no longer had any doubts and nodded slowly to Feng Xue'er: "Okay, Xue'er is right, you have grown up, and it is indeed time for you to make your own decisions and train yourself. But you must remember what your father told you before, and be careful in everything."
“Wow… Thank you, father! Then Xue’er left on her own. Father, please remember to be careful.” Feng Xue’er responded happily, then waved to Feng Hengkong, flew up lightly, and headed east…which was also the direction Yun Che and Xia Yuanba had left before.
"Alas, this child..." Feng Hengkong shook his head and smiled.
"Don't worry, Sect Master. There is nothing here that can threaten Xue'er. Besides, I am here to protect her in secret. Just go with peace of mind." Feng Feiyan said with a smile.
Not long after, Feng Feiyan also flew up and flew slowly in the direction where Feng Xue'er was going.
——————————————————
"...Master said before that this is a high-level world, but I don't understand what 'high-level world' means at all. On the contrary...here, the sound transmission jade and everything used for sound transmission cannot be used. Even the sound transmission of profound energy is not possible. The range of profound force perception will also be very small."
Since Yun Che still had no flying ability, Xia Yuanba walked on the ground with him. The two of them walked for more than ten miles at a moderate pace. There was still a grassland in front of them, and they still couldn't see the end. After hearing Xia Yuanba's last words, Yun Che tried to release his perception... As expected, his perception could only reach a distance of less than twenty feet, and it could no longer extend.
“It’s really weird.” Yun Che said. Two years ago, he entered the Tianchi Secret Realm, which was also an independent small world. However, the feeling of the Primordial Profound Ark world was very different from that of the Tianchi Secret Realm. However, he couldn’t tell where the difference was.
The two of them walked forward while talking, and their speed gradually increased. In the grassland area, they did not encounter any mysterious beasts, and as for rare and precious herbs, they did not see even a single plant. It was extremely barren. After more than an hour, they finally stepped out of the grassland area, and in front of them, there was an endless wasteland.
Entering the wasteland, the wind became gentle and bleak, and the surrounding atmosphere also changed subtly. This slight change also subconsciously raised Yun Che's vigilance. Sure enough, after walking a few steps, a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind a huge rock and rushed towards Yun Che and Xia Yuanba... It was a huge black scorpion! The long scorpion tail flashed with a poisonous colored light.
Yun Che moved his wrist and his body flashed. He instantly appeared below the giant scorpion. His Dragon Fault blasted out like lightning and fiercely smashed into the giant scorpion’s abdomen.
BANG!!
The giant scorpion was smashed and rolled in the air, then fell heavily. At the moment it landed, Xia Yuanba quickly rushed up, roared, and punched the giant scorpion. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the giant scorpion's body was directly blown apart, shattering into countless pieces that flew far away. Pieces of black blood spilled, and the ground was dyed completely black wherever it fell. Two drops of blood splashed on Xia Yuanba's arm.
Yun Che quickly stepped forward and used the Sky Poison Pearl to purify the poisonous blood from Xia Yuanba’s body. At the same time, he was secretly shocked. The body of this poisonous giant scorpion was extremely tough. Long Que’s powerful attack only knocked it away, but failed to injure its body. However, Xia Yuanba did not use any weapons, but just a random punch, and smashed it into pieces...
Xia Yuanba's current strength is so terrifying.
“There are mysterious beasts coming. Brother-in-law, you have to be a little more careful.” Xia Yuanba kicked away the corpse fragments at his feet, then waved his arms and said, “But brother-in-law, don’t worry too much. There won’t be any powerful mysterious beasts around. With your and my strength, nothing can threaten us.”
“If your sister knew your current strength, she would definitely be shocked.” Yun Che looked at Xia Yuanba and said seriously.
“Brother Yun!”
At this moment, a clear and ethereal voice, like heavenly music, came from behind them. Yun Che paused and turned around quickly... This voice was clearly Feng Xue'er's voice!
As soon as he turned around, he saw a beautiful girl in the sky. She slowly floated down from the sky, her posture was as graceful as a dancing fiery red butterfly. Although she was still wearing the Phoenix Jade Colored Glaze Crown, Yun Che could sense her excitement: "Xue'er!? Why are you here? Where are your father and the others?"
Feng Xue'er landed in front of Yun Che and said happily, "Father and the others are going to explore the interior of the Xuanzhou. Please allow me to move freely on my own."
“Why would your father allow you to be alone? He didn’t even allow you to leave Divine Phoenix City before.” Yun Che asked in surprise.
“Hehe,” Feng Xue’er smiled sweetly, “I told Father what Brother Yun said to me. I told Father that I have grown up and reached the age where I should be independent and make my own decisions. Father agreed.”
“Is that so…” Yun Che nodded slightly. Although he still didn’t quite believe that Feng Hengkong would really let Feng Xue’er act alone in this world where there might be unknown dangers, Feng Xue’er was standing right in front of him, so he had to believe it.
Looking at Feng Xue'er who was so close to him, Yun Che's mood naturally became cheerful. He had thought that it would be a long time before he could see her in such close proximity. Unexpectedly, he would have the chance to spend time with her again so soon. He smiled and said, "Then... Xue'er, do you want to go together?"
“Yes!” Feng Xue’er nodded vigorously. If you lifted the Fengyu Liuli at this moment, you would see that her beautiful eyes had curved into a bright new moon. She said with a smile, “Then Brother Yun, you have to protect Xue’er… Well, and big brother, you have to protect Xue’er too.”
The “big brother” had been staring at the two of them until Feng Xue’er spoke to him. He shook his head and said with wide eyes, “Brother-in-law, you… know each other?”
“Yes,” Yun Che nodded: “Xue’er saved my life before.”
Yun Che's words made Xia Yuanba's eyes change drastically when he looked at Feng Xue'er... Just because she had saved Yun Che, let alone the fact that she was Princess Snow from the Phoenix Sect, even if she was an old witch who had committed a heinous crime, he would still be in awe and grateful. He patted his chest and said, "You saved my brother-in-law's life, which is equivalent to saving my life. Don't worry, if anyone dares to bully you, whether it's a human or a profound beast, I will never let them go... Uh, wait!"
Xia Yuanba suddenly thought of Master Gu Cang's comment on Feng Xue'er yesterday. His voice stopped abruptly, and then he began to stutter: "Little girl... Oh no, Princess Xue, is your profound strength... really... Half-step Emperor?"
“Yes!” Feng Xue’er nodded casually, as if this was not something she was too proud of or concerned about. “By the time I’m twenty, my profound strength should be able to reach the true Sovereign Profound Realm. Isn’t that amazing?”
"Awesome... Awesome..." Xia Yuanba swallowed hard and nodded stiffly. He had been in the Royal Saint Domain for nearly two years and had seen countless powerful people who only existed in legends. His horizons had changed a lot... But even in the Royal Saint Domain, there had never been an emperor under the age of twenty! Not to mention Xia Yuanba, even Master Gu Cang was shocked when he noticed Feng Xue'er's strength yesterday.
“You…you…you are really only sixteen years old? How did you cultivate?” Xia Yuanba couldn’t help but ask.
“This is a secret. I won’t tell you.” Feng Xue’er replied with a smile, and then came to Yun Che’s side: “Brother Yun, where are we going to play? I can spend the next eleven hours with Brother Yun again. I’m so happy.”
"Where do you want to go, Xue'er?"
"Well... Actually, either is fine! I'll tell Brother Yun a secret. I left my father and acted alone just to find Brother Yun. But it's so empty here, and my perception range has become so small. I got lost just now and thought I'd lost it..."
Xia Yuanba, who was left aside, stared blankly at the two people standing close together, silently reaching out to scratch his head... Their relationship seemed to be very good, but it was strange, didn't the master say that Princess Snow of the Phoenix Sect was never allowed to have contact with anyone...
——————————————
Same time, another place.
"Grand Elder Phoenix? Why are you here?"
Ye Xinghan turned around and squinted at Feng Feiyan who was looking for him from behind. Yue Ji and Mei Ji beside him also slowly dispersed, each showing a short knife in their hands, and their eyes became cold. This world of the Ancient Mysterious Ark is a perfect place to kill people, because if you kill people here, no one else around will see or notice it. After the Ancient Mysterious Ark disappears, all traces will also disappear completely, and you can do it without any scruples. Feng Feiyan is the great elder of the Phoenix Divine Sect, and a high-level Tyrant Emperor of the eighth level of Tyrant Profound Realm. Ye Xinghan is definitely not his opponent.
"Don't be nervous. This Great Phoenix Elder is the smartest person in the entire Phoenix Sect. His coming to see me is only good news, not bad news." Ye Xinghan stretched out his hand and took the initiative to walk towards Feng Feiyan: "You didn't go exploring with Feng Hengkong and the others? Could it be that you have other plans?"
"Haha." Feng Feiyan smiled meaningfully: "Of course, I am here to bring good news to the Young Palace Master... I don't need to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to give the Young Palace Master the gift. I can do it today. Moreover, it can be done without any mistakes."
"Oh?" Ye Xinghan looked up.
“Feng Xue’er, whom the Young Palace Master wanted, did not go deeper with Feng Hengkong, but acted alone… and the reason why I did not follow him in was to obey Feng Hengkong’s wishes, to secretly protect Feng Xue’er, and to kill Yun Che, that overconfident rat!”
Feng Feiyan's words made Ye Xinghan's eyes suddenly light up. Then, he raised his head with both hands and laughed wildly...
