"Go back?" Qu Fengting frowned and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, if we go back, I'm afraid we won't have any chance anymore. Your Highness has suffered losses repeatedly at the hands of Mu Hanyan. If the news gets back to the capital, it will definitely deal a fatal blow to Your Highness's reputation.
If Your Highness still wants to realize his grand ambitions one day, he must find an opportunity to step on Mu Hanyan. Otherwise, no matter what achievements Your Highness makes in the future, the three words "Mu Hanyan" will always weigh on Your Highness' head.
Feilai Peak has been relinquished to Mu Hanyan's name. With his cunning, he'll surely discover something soon. If that were all, it would be fine. After all, the seal isn't so easy to open, and the divine beast isn't so easy to tame. As long as he can't succeed, we always have a chance.
But Your Highness, don't forget that even the sword pet of Master Liannian, the guardian beside her, can be subdued. If he were to act prematurely and subdue the divine beast, would Your Highness still have the chance to trample him under his feet, to restore your prestige, and to realize your grand ambitions?
Qu Fengting knew that what he said was tantamount to stabbing the Fifth Prince in the wound, but his hatred for Mu Hanyan was too deep, and he was absolutely unwilling to let him get the legendary powerful beast, so he could only continue to instigate the Fifth Prince.
"Feng Ting is right. That brat may have learned the language of psychic beasts from somewhere, and he's incredibly talented. If we let them strike first, we probably won't have any chance at all.
Our only option now is to strike first, otherwise we'll never have another chance at revenge." Nian Anyao said bitterly.
He also hated Mu Hanyan and regarded him as his lifelong enemy. Of course, he didn't want to see him become stronger.
His idea was the same as Mu Hanyan's. Even if they couldn't get the divine beast, they must never let the other party get it.
If it was Qu Fengting alone who persuaded the Fifth Prince, he would probably jump up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, but since Nian Anyao also spoke, he could not get angry.
The others left or dispersed, and now the only one left by his side, besides his confidant Qu Fengting, was Nian Anyao, and he didn't want to drive him away as well.
Thinking it over calmly, he felt that what they said made sense. Whether he could obtain the divine beast or not was not the point for now. But if Mu Hanyan got it, he would never have the chance to avenge his humiliation, nor would he have the chance to rebuild his reputation. His ambitions for the throne, his unification, were all just empty talk.
"Well, let's act as soon as possible, preferably before Mu Hanyan, so that we don't meet him again." The fifth prince pondered for a while and finally made up his mind and said.
It’s just that the shadow in his heart is too big, and he is still uneasy when mentioning Mu Hanyan, and obviously lacks confidence.
Soon, the Fifth Prince and his three companions also quickened their pace and headed towards Feilai Peak.
…
Feilai Peak is ten thousand feet high.
When Mu Hanyan and others arrived, night had already fallen. In the night, the lonely peak looked even more majestic, like an ancient giant beast guarding between heaven and earth.
In the night wind, there are waves of refreshing fragrance from flowers and plants. In the darkness, you can see an extremely rare and exotic flower from time to time.
Mu Hanyan was secretly surprised. She had also spent a lot of time training in the Longyan Mountains in her previous life. This level of exotic flowers and plants were difficult to find even in the depths of the Longyan Mountains. She didn't expect to see them everywhere here.
To what extent must the power of heaven and earth of the Continent of Gods be so rich as to give birth to so many exotic flowers and plants? And to what extent must the ancient beasts that Ye Lanxuan mentioned be so powerful as to ignore the laws of space and allow such abundant power of heaven and earth of the Continent of Gods to coexist peacefully with the power of heaven and earth of the Holy Court Continent, or even merge into one.
You know, the more abundant the power of heaven and earth is in the Continent of Gods, the stronger the counterattack will be.
As she walked, Mu Hanyan felt that the speed of her energy circulation had increased exponentially, and her strength was slowly increasing without even practicing.
Although Feilai Peak is now lush with vegetation, one can still vaguely see its former desolation and barrenness. Following Zhang Chihua, walking through the huge blue-gray boulders, it was like walking into a huge maze. Coupled with the darkness of night, it didn't take long for Mu Hanyan to lose track of the direction.
Fortunately, Zhang Chihua’s last discovery of the ancient ruins was not as easy as he said. It took him a lot of time and energy. He knew the terrain at the foot of Feilai Peak very well, and he led Mu Hanyan and others to get closer to the foot of the peak.
"We're here." After just over half an hour, Zhang Chihua stopped and said to Mu Hanyan and others.
"We're here already?" Mu Hanyan was surprised.
I thought there would be some setbacks and I should encounter some ferocious beasts, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth.
"This Feilai Peak is barren, and even strange beasts don't like it. It was the same when I came here last time. Apart from taking some detours, I didn't encounter any danger. Although some exotic flowers and plants have grown here these days, the time is still short. Even if strange beasts smell the scent from afar, they won't be able to catch up in a while." Seeing that Mu Hanyan was confused, Zhang Chihua smiled and explained.
Mu Hanyan finally felt relieved and thought what he said made a lot of sense, but for some reason, she also felt it was a little too easy.
Could it be that I am thinking too much? Mu Hanyan thought secretly.
No matter what, Feilai Peak is so close to Anyun Capital, and there are no strange beasts guarding it. The terrain is not dangerous. It is incredible that the ancient ruins hidden below have not been discovered for hundreds of thousands of years.
In fact, she had mentioned this issue to Zhang Chihua when she set out. Zhang Chihua gave the same explanation, and Mu Hanyan also agreed with it at the time.
But now think about it, they feel that they are thinking too simply. They have always been thinking about this problem with the mentality of ordinary practitioners, but they have not thought about how many powerful masters and strange people have appeared in the Holy Court Continent in the past hundreds of thousands of years. In addition to those geniuses who are famous throughout the ages, there are also many masters who are indifferent to fame and fortune and live in seclusion, who are even more unfathomable.
Ordinary practitioners wouldn't notice, but those people might not. After all, their lifespans were incredibly long, potentially tens of millions or even thousands of years. With such a long lifespan, their cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and they inevitably grew bored. Traveling, exploring, or playing games became a way for them to pass the time, living a life of idleness and waiting for death.
During her previous life's training, as her strength and vision improved, Mu Hanyan had seen quite a few people like this. Not to mention the desolate and barren place like Feilai Peak, even the vast Gobi Desert with thousands of miles of sand and dust, there were bored hermits who went there to suffer. They said that they wanted to see the vast mountains and rivers, broaden their horizons and cultivate their minds. In Mu Hanyan's opinion, they were just bored and had nothing to do. There was nothing but sand, nothing but sand. No matter where the mountains were or where the rivers were, why would they go there to see the vast mountains and rivers?
