“Senior Wu Qi, even if I want to leave, the secret realm is probably now under the control of the Demon Emperor’s avatar. I will find a safe place and will definitely not get involved in what happens next.”
"I will go out when the secret realm reopens. Senior Wu Qi, if you can move within the Demon Emperor's Tomb, you can try to find the opportunities within the Demon Emperor's Tomb. Perhaps you can find a way to deal with the Demon Emperor."
Wu Qi's current physical condition simply cannot withstand the stimulation from Xiao Feng or any shocking news.
So Xiao Feng decided to be obedient and agree to Wu Qi's request; he would go and find a way out.
But after Xiao Feng and Wu Qi severed their telepathic connection, Xiao Feng immediately turned to Wu Xia beside him and asked if she wanted to enter the Demon Emperor's Tomb with him.
“But didn’t Master already agree to that senior…” Wuxia was a little caught up with Xiao Feng’s erratic thinking.
"I only agreed because I didn't want him to worry about me. His current physical condition absolutely cannot withstand too much stimulation, and I definitely need to find a way to get rid of the Demon Emperor."
"Even if I can't get rid of him, I need to get enough benefits out of him to deal with any possible retaliation he might take against me!"
Xiao Feng explained his reasons.
That's the Demon Emperor's tomb!
That's the place in the entire Demon Emperor's Secret Realm most likely to contain treasures.
He's already come all this way, how could he possibly give up now?
Although the Demon Emperor's Tomb is certainly dangerous, there may be even greater opportunities inside.
Moreover, Wu Qi is still in the Demon Emperor's Tomb.
If Xiao Feng cannot rescue Wu Qi and leave the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm with Wu Qi...
He will definitely be targeted as soon as he leaves the secret realm.
That guy Xuanyuan Shumou must have found other accomplices to investigate me.
What if the other party also has murderous intentions towards me?
Therefore, he had to rescue Wu Qi and leave the secret realm with Wu Qi.
Seeing Xiao Feng's serious expression, and recalling how she couldn't help him at all when he fought the Demon Emperor's clone, she could only stay aside and not cause him any trouble.
A sense of rebellion suddenly arose in Wuxia's heart.
Why are they born to serve the Demon Emperor?
Why should their lives become food for the Demon Emperor to regain his strength?
They have worked hard for so many years to cultivate and improve their strength so that they can live a better life.
Instead of making them sacrifice themselves for the Demon Emperor so unwillingly.
Besides, she was already Xiao Feng's demon beast.
After she signed a contract with Xiao Feng, she naturally followed the will of her master, Xiao Feng, as the highest priority.
"Wherever Master goes, that is where Wuxia's heart desires; Wuxia is willing to accompany Master!"
Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Wuxia was willing.
Although the Demon Emperor's Tomb is dangerous, Xiao Feng would naturally not refuse to have someone by his side to accompany him.
Wuxia didn't want to become a useless person. After the series of events that had happened, she now deeply understood a certain principle.
Only by becoming stronger can she protect her people.
They were not far from the Demon Emperor's Tomb. After receiving Wuxia's statement that she was willing to follow him, Xiao Feng and Wuxia did not delay any longer and immediately continued to venture deeper into the Demon Emperor's Tomb.
Three hours later, Xiao Feng and Wu Xia finally stood in front of the Demon Emperor's Tomb.
However, the two unexpectedly encountered another person there.
"Zhou Ming?" To be honest, Xiao Feng hadn't expected to run into Zhou Ming here.
Zhou Ming was in much better condition than when Xiao Feng had encountered him before.
Zhou Ming was not at all surprised to run into Xiao Feng here.
Upon seeing Xiao Feng arrive, Zhou Ming smiled gratefully at him with genuine sincerity.
He took the initiative to speak: "I knew you would come here. I have been waiting here for a day. There have been several significant fluctuations inside the Demon Emperor's Tomb, which has made me hesitant to enter. Xiao Feng, I want to form an alliance with you."
Zhou Ming spoke earnestly, his eyes fixed intently on Xiao Feng, eagerly anticipating the answer he desired from Xiao Feng's mouth.
"When I saved you before, it was merely a transaction between the two of us. Isn't there a better partner in the entire secret realm than me? Why do you think I would set aside past grievances and agree to form an alliance with you?"
This alliance is different from the deal Xiao Feng made with Zhou Ming before.
Xiao Feng never formed alliances with people he didn't trust.
He could sense the probing and distrust in Xiao Feng's words.
Zhou Ming, however, smiled calmly and said, "I have always believed that there are no eternal enemies. I am a businessman, and what a businessman values most is profit."
"As long as it's within my bottom line, I can become an ally of whoever can bring me more benefits."
Xiao Feng teased, "So you mean that once you enter the Demon Emperor's Tomb, if the Demon Emperor gives you more benefits, you'll become his ally?"
Zhou Ming immediately shook his head: "That won't do. I just want to get more benefits, not to work with a tiger. He almost killed me before, I don't want to cooperate with him!"
Xiao Feng was indeed considering cooperating with Zhou Ming.
First of all, as the owner of the weapon-refining workshop, Zhou Ming must have many magical artifacts produced by the workshop.
By walking with him, Xiao Feng at least wouldn't have to worry about not having any magical artifacts to use.
Secondly, Zhou Ming's initiative to seek an alliance with Xiao Feng must have been based on the fact that Xiao Feng was stronger than him.
If he wants to get more good things from the Demon Emperor's Tomb, a powerful companion is definitely a must.
Finally, every person brings more hope. Who knows what we'll encounter once we enter the Demon Emperor's Tomb?
With more allies, they can gain more.
"Since the shop owner is so sincere, and considering that we are both human and have traded before, I am willing to form an alliance with you. I only hope that the shop owner will not betray my trust in you."
Facing Xiao Feng's gaze, Zhou Ming's expression remained completely calm.
Almost the instant Xiao Feng agreed to the alliance, Zhou Ming immediately took out the map he had obtained earlier, spread it out in front of Xiao Feng, and began to explain it to him.
Zhou Ming was genuinely sincere towards Xiao Feng.
"This is a partial map of the Demon Emperor's Tomb that I obtained before. It only shows a part of the scenes inside the Demon Emperor's Tomb."
After Zhou Ming unfolded the map, he immediately began to explain the situation inside the map to Xiao Feng.
The Demon Emperor's Tomb is very large, but it can also be described as a small space inside.
However, this small space is not as large as the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm.
But Xiao Feng saw words like "alchemy room," "medicine field," and "weapon forging room" on it.
"The Demon Emperor can actually refine pills and craft weapons?" Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised, as these were things that the demon race was not good at.
