"So, should we kill this person or not?" Ye Feng asked.
Zhao Yurou shook her head and said, "Please, both of you heroes, show mercy and release him. The Luo family's plan has already failed, and this Luo Qiang is nothing more than a pawn. Killing him would be useless. It would be better to let him go back and have him deliver a message to the Luo family."
Luo Mengxuan then released Luo Qiang, giving him his freedom.
Zhao Yurou looked at Luo Qiang and said, "Go back and tell your family head that our Zhao family has always been tolerant and has never competed with your Luo family. But this time, your Luo family has gone too far. Since that's the case, don't blame our Zhao family for being impolite!"
"From this day forward, we are locked in a life-or-death struggle. Let's settle this with our own strength!"
This Zhao Yurou looks delicate and frail, like a well-bred young lady who never leaves her home.
Unexpectedly, she also has such a strong side. It seems that the Zhao family head has raised his precious daughter to be very outstanding.
"You really don't want to kill me? You'll regret it," Luo Qiang said.
"Whether I regret it or not is my business. You can get out now," Zhao Yurou said coldly.
Luo Qiang snorted coldly, then leaped up and flew into the depths of the mountains and forests.
After Luo Qiang left, Zhao Yurou thanked him again, saying, "Thank you both for your help. If it weren't for your assistance, the Luo family's plan would probably have succeeded, and our family would have suffered heavy losses."
"You're too kind," Ye Feng said with a smile.
Zhao Yurou then said, "The two of you suddenly asked to join our caravan. Did you already sense something amiss within our caravan?"
After Zhao Yurou finished speaking, she looked at Ye Feng curiously, while Luo Mengxuan was also staring intently at Ye Feng without blinking.
Night Wind pointed to one of the carriages and said, "I noticed that one of your caravans' carriages has been marked. The person who marked it can track you through this mark, so I know you've been targeted and there's a high chance you'll meet with something bad."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yurou suddenly realized, and Luo Mengxuan finally understood why Ye Feng wasn't worried at all. It turned out that he had known all along that the Zhao family's caravan's journey would not be smooth sailing!
"But don't worry, I've already erased the true energy mark on that carriage, so no one will be tracking you anymore," Ye Feng continued.
"Thank you so much," Zhao Yurou said gratefully.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Feng said, "If Miss Zhao really wants to thank me, then please give me a medicinal herb."
Zhao Yurou was not surprised by Ye Feng's request.
Knowing that there's no such thing as a free lunch, she had already guessed that Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan had ulterior motives.
Now that Ye Feng was asking for the elixir, she actually felt relieved.
"What kind of elixir do you desire, sir?" Zhao Yurou asked.
"The Spiritual Root of the Swan." Night Wind answered without hesitation.
Zhao Hu's expression changed slightly, after all, the swan spirit root was quite precious, and it was one of the most valuable spirit herbs among the ones loaded on these carriages.
Before anyone could say anything, Zhao Yurou nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Okay, no problem. I will now give you a swan spirit root."
"Thank you," Night Wind nodded.
"Miss, this..."
Zhao Hu spoke hesitantly, his expression still showing some worry.
Zhao Yurou shook her head and said, "Brother Zhao, you don't need to say anything more. Although the swan spirit root is precious, the two heroes protected our entire caravan. Without them, all the medicinal herbs would probably have been destroyed, let alone a single swan spirit root."
Since Zhao Yurou had already said so much, Zhao Hu didn't stop her anymore.
After all, he's not stupid; he can naturally distinguish between what's important and what's not.
"Brother Zhao, go and get the swan spirit root," Zhao Yurou instructed.
"Yes, Miss."
Zhao Hu nodded and strode towards one of the carriages.
Before long, Zhao Hu returned, carrying an exquisite wooden box in his hand.
There were no restrictions on the wooden box to block its aura, so Ye Feng could sense the Honghu spiritual root inside with his divine sense without even opening the box.
I finally got it!
With this swan spirit root, his injuries could be partially healed, and his strength could be restored to the peak of the Divine Travel Realm.
Ye Feng sighed inwardly and took the wooden box from Zhao Hu's hand.
"Thank you, Miss Zhao," Ye Feng said.
"I should be thanking you," Zhao Yurou said.
Having obtained the swan spirit root, Ye Feng saw no need to linger any longer. He immediately said, "Miss Zhao, we have other matters to attend to, so we will take our leave. If fate allows, we will meet again."
After saying that, Ye Feng looked at Luo Mengxuan, who had already taken out the Golden Cloud.
The golden clouds shone with a golden luster, appearing like a misty dream under the sunlight.
Moreover, as soon as the golden cloud took flight, it swelled to a diameter of three zhang (approximately 10 meters).
"May I ask which sect you two heroes belong to?" Zhao Yurou asked.
"Luo Mengxuan, a true disciple of the Xuanji Sect," Luo Mengxuan said with an air of arrogance.
"Ye Feng, an inner disciple of the Xuanji Sect," Ye Feng said with a smile.
"So you're from the Xuanji Sect, no wonder you're so powerful!" Zhao Yurou exclaimed.
Without further ado, Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan immediately boarded the Golden Cloud and left.
Jin Douyun climbed higher and higher, soon reaching a high altitude. He then deployed his shield and flew towards the Xuanji Sect's mountain gate.
Luo Mengxuan exclaimed with some surprise, "It's so fast! It's at least 50% more fun than before!"
"I'm glad you're satisfied, Senior Sister," Ye Feng said with a smile.
Luo Mengxuan's Five-Colored Auspicious Clouds were reforged by Ye Feng, and one of the materials was replaced, so the quality of the Golden Clouds is now better than before.
Previously, the Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud was merely a third-grade spiritual artifact, but now it has reached the fourth grade, naturally making its flight speed much faster.
Even with the increased speed, it would still take about two hours to return to the sect.
Ye Feng then sat down cross-legged on the golden cloud and began to regulate his breathing.
Luo Mengxuan asked curiously, "Junior brother, you've already obtained the Swan Spirit Root, aren't you going to use it?"
"Let's talk about it when we get back to the sect. What if something unexpected happens if we use it on the way?" Ye Feng explained.
"Junior brother, you are really cautious." Luo Mengxuan giggled.
Two hours passed quickly.
Just as Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan stepped into the Xuanji Sect's mountain gate, they saw Zi Yue flying towards the gate.
"Hey, Junior Brother Ye, Senior Sister Luo, you're back?" Zi Yue asked.
"Yes, I just got back," Luo Mengxuan said.
Ye Feng then asked, "Senior Sister Ziyue, where are you planning to go?"
"I've accepted a mission to gather herbs, and I'll be back soon," Ziyue replied.
"I see. Then you go ahead with your work, Senior Sister," Ye Feng said.
