"Junior sister, these people are in your hands now," Ye Feng said with a smile.
“Killing them would dirty my sword, so please do it, Senior Brother,” Mu Yuqing said.
"I'm only here to help you. I'll only step in if you encounter danger that you can't handle. You should handle these minor matters yourself," Ye Feng said, shaking his head.
Mu Yuqing then drew a slender longsword and charged towards the burly men.
At the same time, Mu Yuqing's body also erupted with powerful true energy. The gust of wind formed by the true energy made these strong men feel heavy, with tightness in their chests and difficulty breathing!
"This...this is the aura of a martial artist at the Divine Realm!"
"How could you possibly be a martial artist at the Divine Ascension Realm!"
"Damn it, we've been tricked!"
The group of burly men started cursing and swearing, and they all panicked.
They then split up and ran away, each one as fast as a rabbit.
However, Ye Feng casually cast a series of magic seals, which instantly formed a vast restriction, sealing all of them inside.
Bang bang bang!
The martial artists attacked the barrier frantically, but they couldn't break through the barrier that Ye Feng had casually set up.
"Don't waste your energy. You won't get out of my barrier unless you kill me," Ye Feng said with a smile.
Mu Yuqing had already chased after them with her natal spirit weapon, the Flying Goose Sword. She could kill a strong man with a single strike.
Although these burly men fought back desperately, they were no match for Mu Yuqing's attacks.
In just a short while, all seven or eight strong men were dead. Not one of them survived. Each of them had only one wound on their body, and that wound was the fatal one that took their lives!
"Let's pick up the corpse, junior sister," Ye Feng laughed.
Despite feeling nauseous, Mu Yuqing removed all the storage rings from the burly men's bodies.
Mu Yuqing didn't even glance at their natal spiritual artifacts.
These people's natal magical artifacts were all too poor to attract Mu Yuqing's interest at all.
However, the storage rings that Mu Yuqing collected from their corpses contained many spirit stones.
These spirit stones were most likely obtained through murder and robbery.
"A total of over 300,000 low-grade spirit stones. These scoundrels must have killed a lot of people to finally accumulate so many spirit stones," Mu Yuqing said.
"Have you found the map?" Night Wind removed the barrier and walked over to ask.
"Found it."
Mu Yuqing handed a map to Ye Feng.
Night Breeze unfolded the map and discovered that it was marked with a lot of information, and all of it was very detailed.
For example, in the upper left corner of the map there is a place called Jade Spring, where there is a Heavenly Sun Grass. However, next to the Heavenly Sun Grass is a note: "A seventh-grade fire-attribute demon beast guards this place. Danger!"
For example, in the upper right corner of the map, there is a depression with a sign that reads: "Entering here will cause you to lose your way and experience all sorts of hallucinations!"
Ye Feng looked at the map with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Found it. The map shows the location where these people encountered that monster before."
"Where?" Mu Yuqing asked.
"Not far from here is a place called the Emerald Temple," Ye Feng said, pointing to the map.
"Then let's hurry over there," Mu Yuqing said immediately.
Night Breeze carried Mu Yuqing towards the direction of the Emerald Temple.
The Cuishen Temple is located halfway up Cuiyu Mountain, not far from here, only a few miles away.
Flying through the air might make them targets of other monsters, thus subjecting them to attack. But even without flying, a few miles is nothing to martial arts masters like Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing.
In just a short while, the two of them arrived at the Emerald Temple.
When Mu Yuqing first heard about the Emerald God Temple, she thought it must be some kind of powerful temple. But when she arrived, she only saw a dilapidated little temple, covered in dust and with many cobwebs in the corners. Mu Yuqing couldn't hide her disappointment.
Moreover, there were no traces of demonic beasts here, and Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing did not sense any demonic beast aura here either.
However, the two of them did find some traces of a battle in the Emerald Temple.
Moreover, the traces are from a battle between a martial artist and a demonic beast!
There were many claw marks on the ground of the Emerald Temple. These claw marks were deep and long, which indicated that the monster had extremely sharp claws.
There were also some sword marks on the ground.
These sword marks show that the swordsman who fought the monster was not very skilled.
If it were Mu Yuqing, she could leave very smooth and even sword marks on the ground because her swordsmanship was sharp enough.
Compared to Mu Yuqing, the swordsmanship of the warriors fighting the monsters here is quite ordinary.
"It seems we've found the right place. We just don't know if the demonic beast that's fighting the martial artists here is the same one that the Jade City Lord has put a bounty on," Ye Feng said.
"So what do we do next? Are we just going to wait here and wait for them to come to us?" Mu Yuqing asked.
"That's all we can do for now. We'll stay here for the night and see what happens. If nothing happens tonight, we'll look elsewhere tomorrow," Night Wind said.
Mu Yuqing nodded.
After all, she didn't have any better options at the moment, so she could only do as Ye Feng suggested.
Night fell completely, and it became pitch black outside.
The trees in the distance were shrouded in darkness, appearing shadowy and indistinct, like monsters.
The small temple also exuded a sinister and terrifying feeling.
Mu Yuqing wasn't afraid of monsters, but the unknown terror still made her somewhat apprehensive.
So Mu Yuqing subconsciously moved closer to Ye Feng and asked, "Senior brother, are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid, are you?" Night Wind asked with a smile.
"Of course I'm not afraid!"
"Then why are you standing so close to me?" Ye Feng laughed.
Mu Yuqing's face turned slightly red, and she said shyly, "I just thought that if we sit closer together, we can work together to deal with any unexpected situations."
Ye Feng smiled without saying a word, and did not expose Mu Yuqing's clumsy lie.
Time quickly passed into the middle of the night.
The moon hid behind the clouds, and there wasn't a single star in the sky, making the Jade Mountain appear even darker.
Every now and then, the howls of demonic wolves and the roars of other demonic beasts could be heard.
It seems that some nocturnal monsters have come out to hunt for food.
The quiet environment inside the Emerald Temple was becoming unbearable for Mu Yuqing, so she broke the silence first and said, "Second Senior Brother, tell me about your experience exploring the Gu Hao Secret Realm with the City Lord of Gu Hao City."
"What's there to say?" Night Wind shook his head.
Night Breeze didn't want to talk about his exploration of the secret realm.
After all, too much talk leads to mistakes, and it would be difficult to handle if you accidentally let something slip.
But Mu Yuqing kept pestering him to tell her, so Ye Feng had no choice but to organize his thoughts and slowly begin to tell her the story.
