Lu Chenguan said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Mr. Ye. If it weren't for your help, many more people would have died tonight."
"You're too kind, General Lu. Since we've agreed to protect you on your way to the capital, we'll naturally do our part," Ye Feng said with a smile.
After exchanging a few polite words, Ye Feng returned to Luo Mengxuan's side and sat down again.
After sitting down, Ye Feng began to meditate and cultivate the Illusionary God Technique.
The Illusion God Technique is a skill that Ye Feng obtained in the Dreamland of Misty Clouds. It can greatly enhance one's perception ability and also manipulate illusions to confuse opponents, making it extremely powerful.
It should be noted that even when Ye Feng used his Myriad Laws Golden Eyes in the Dream of the Clouds, he was still unable to see through the Illusion God Technique immediately.
However, after practicing the Illusion God Technique, Ye Feng mastered all the advantages and disadvantages of this technique. For Ye Feng, the Illusion God Technique no longer held any secrets.
If anyone were to use the Illusion God Technique in front of Ye Feng again, Ye Feng would definitely be able to see through it immediately!
Luo Mengxuan played the zither on the side, and the flowing music gradually relaxed everyone present. The tense, oppressive, and extremely uneasy atmosphere from before quickly disappeared without a trace.
It must be said that Luo Mengxuan's piano music is indeed an excellent way to soothe the mind.
Before we knew it, it was already past midnight.
Suddenly, the night wind heard the sound of someone quietly getting up and leaving.
He opened his eyes and looked in that direction, and immediately saw a person quickly moving away and disappearing into the deep night.
At first, Ye Feng thought this person was an inside man, someone who went out to pass on messages and leak their group's whereabouts.
But after watching for a moment, Ye Feng understood what was going on.
The man got scared and dared not continue escorting Lu Chenguan to the capital, but he was too ashamed to explain himself, so he left alone in the dead of night without saying goodbye.
And it wasn't just that one person!
Not long after, a second person, a third person, and a fourth person quietly left the place.
In just a short while, Lu Chenguan's team had lost a third of its members!
The departure of these people did not escape the perception of Ye Feng's divine sense, but Ye Feng did not stop them.
After all, everyone has their own ambitions. They were already afraid of Du Wushuang and didn't want to protect Lu Chenguan anymore, so Ye Feng couldn't force them to stay here.
You have to know that forced relationships are never sweet.
Moreover, these people weren't very strong, and Ye Feng didn't need their help anyway. It's actually a good thing that they left.
Without these people, there are fewer burdens!
Daylight broke.
The golden sunlight shone down from the horizon, falling on the ground like a golden-red veil draped over the earth.
Luo Mengxuan rubbed her sleepy eyes and saw Ye Feng still sitting cross-legged on the ground cultivating. She smiled and said, "Junior brother, can you not work so hard? When we first met, you couldn't beat me at all, but now you've far surpassed me. If you keep working this hard, how far will you leave me?"
"It is precisely because I work so hard that I have been able to make such rapid progress," Ye Feng said with a smile.
Just then, the guard leader's resentful voice rang out: "Cowards! All of them are cowards! They talk a good game, but they're all running away faster than the next one! Are they all rats? One Poisonous Warrior scared them like this!"
The guard leader was named Lu Qingshuang, and she was related to Lu Chenguan, most likely from the same clan.
And now Lu Qingshuang is cursing those people who secretly left last night.
The other members of the team also started cursing, venting their resentment and dissatisfaction.
However, Lu Chenguan's expression was very calm, without a trace of anger.
"My friends came to help me out of respect, but now that Du Wushuang has appeared, it's too risky for them to continue protecting me. It's only natural that they chose to leave without saying goodbye, so let's not be too harsh on them."
"Of course, those friends who are still willing to stay and help me are truly heroes! I, Lu, would like to express my gratitude to everyone!"
As Lu Chenguan spoke, he stood up and bowed to all the heroes present.
"General Lu, you're too kind."
"Protecting you is the right thing to do, after all, the responsibility for the safety of the world rests on your shoulders."
"Yes, General Lu, you don't need to do that!"
Those present commented, and Lu Chenguan finally gave up.
Then, Lu Chenguan strode up to Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan.
"After what happened last night, I think you two have already made your own judgment about the dangers that are about to come. I wonder if you are still willing to continue on the journey ahead..."
Before Lu Chenguan could finish speaking, Ye Feng interrupted him, saying, "General Lu, you don't need to say anything more. Since my fellow disciples and I have stayed, we will definitely continue to help you."
"Yes, yes, my junior brother is very powerful. He doesn't even take Du Wushuang seriously," Luo Mengxuan said with a smile.
Lu Chenguan thanked him a few more times before finally turning to leave.
Because of what happened last night, Lu Chenguan and the others simply stopped eating and instead took Bigu pills.
Bigu pills are dry and tasteless. Although they can fill your stomach, they taste like chewing wax and are extremely unpalatable.
But none of the people present had any complaints.
After a short rest, the group set off again.
However, compared to yesterday, the number of people has decreased by a third, and there is a somber and oppressive atmosphere in the team.
Suddenly, Lu Qingshuang, who was walking in front, looked at a fruit tree in surprise and said, "What kind of fruit is this? It actually emits such a strong spiritual energy fluctuation?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan looked in that direction.
A fruit tree by the roadside was covered with bright red fruit. The fruit was all red and plump, and it also emitted a faint spiritual energy.
Clearly, this is no ordinary fruit tree, and the fruit on it is no ordinary wild fruit.
These fruits are all medicinal herbs!
"I...I remember what this fruit is! It's the Bright Spirit Fruit. It will invigorate your spirit after you take it!" a martial artist said excitedly.
"So they're Divine Blessing Fruits, and there are so many of them! Haha, we're so lucky!"
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up!"
A large group of martial artists rushed over and competed to pick the Bright God Fruit.
Lu Chenguan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Last night we were almost killed by Du Wushuang. Now a Bright God Fruit tree has appeared here. I'm afraid there's something inside..."
Before Lu Chenguan could finish speaking, a martial artist couldn't resist the temptation and took a bite of the Bright God Fruit.
The martial artist had just swallowed the Bright God Fruit when he closed his eyes, kicked his legs, and died by the roadside.
Everyone around was stunned by what they saw.
