Xiao Feng did not expose Sun Yuanjie's true colors, but instead put the wild fruit aside.
When Sun Yuanjie saw this scene, his eyes turned cold.
If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Anyway, Xiao Feng won't live much longer.
Sun Yuanjie was still waiting. Once his trusted confidants had laid an ambush, they would immediately make their move against Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng closed his eyes and sat quietly in place, seemingly still cultivating, completely unaware of the unknown crisis that was about to arrive.
After observing carefully, Sun Yuanjie finally spotted a figure in the distance and immediately asked loudly, "Young Master, shall we rest here today?"
Xiao Feng didn't even open his eyes, and said in a detached tone, "Didn't I just say that we need to rest here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow?"
Sun Yuanjie had already given the signal to his trusted confidants in the shadows, so he said nothing more and looked at Xiao Feng, who was still cultivating with his eyes closed, with a mocking gaze.
A sharp arrow shot rapidly towards Xiao Feng's direction.
With his back to the incoming arrow, Xiao Feng seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, tilting his head and raising his hand to catch the arrow.
Without a moment's hesitation, Xiao Feng immediately threw the arrow back in the direction it had come from.
The trusted confidant hidden in the shadows immediately rolled to the side, dodging Xiao Feng's movements.
Seeing this, Sun Yuanjie couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "As expected of Xiao Feng, he even managed to dodge this!"
"Since you've all come, why hide in the shadows? I wonder which sect or school you fellow Daoists are, so ashamed to be seen?" Xiao Feng mocked coldly.
Hearing Xiao Feng say this, Sun Yuanjie cursed inwardly: "Is he afraid he won't die fast enough? Luckily, I'm not on his side, otherwise I would definitely be implicated and die!"
Seeing Xiao Feng get up, Sun Yuanjie immediately stood beside him, as if he wanted to stand with Xiao Feng through thick and thin.
The trusted confidants hiding in the shadows no longer concealed themselves and quickly emerged from the woods.
In just a few leaps, they landed in front of Xiao Feng and Sun Yuanjie.
The confidants have not yet recognized Sun Yuanjie. If they can successfully capture Xiao Feng, Sun Yuanjie's identity will no longer need to be hidden.
If they can't, then Sun Yuanjie will have to stab Xiao Feng in the back when he's not on guard.
"Who are you? I don't seem to have any grudges against any of you, so why are you attacking me?" Xiao Feng seemed very puzzled.
"If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have had many reasons. Prepare to die!" His confidants didn't waste any more words and immediately attacked Xiao Feng again.
Xiao Feng feigned surprise, quickly and casually picked up a tree branch, and exchanged a few blows with the people in front of him.
The tree branch in his hand was cut off by the opponent. Xiao Feng pretended to be in a sorry state and dodged the opponent's attack.
As Xiao Feng retreated, he beckoned to Sun Yuanjie, urging him to join him in the attack.
If they don't drive away these guys who suddenly appeared today, the two of them will definitely be killed by the other side.
"Xiao Feng! Give up resisting!" Sun Yuanjie drew his spirit sword after hearing Xiao Feng's call to him.
He used his long sword to launch a sneak attack on Xiao Feng from behind.
It not only tore Xiao Feng's sleeve, but also pressed directly against Xiao Feng's heart.
Upon hearing Sun Yuanjie's words, Xiao Feng feigned shock and asked incredulously, "Ah Jie, what are you doing? Could it be that you...you actually dare to collude with foreign enemies? Are you insane?"
Seeing the surprise in Xiao Feng's eyes, Sun Yuanjie felt a mix of emotions, but he quickly composed himself and pressed Xiao Feng, "Stop talking nonsense, where is our young sect leader?"
Upon hearing Sun Yuanjie's question, Xiao Feng knew in his heart that Sun Yuanjie was asking about Xuanyuan Jian.
But Xiao Feng wouldn't admit it so easily.
The stage is already set up; it would be so boring to skip the finale and not perform for a while.
Xiao Feng feigned confusion and asked Sun Yuanjie with a hint of sadness, "What young sect leader? Aren't you a disciple of the Ming Cult?"
Sun Yuanjie said coldly, "I am not a disciple of the Ming Cult. Listen carefully. I am the eldest disciple of the Tianyi Sect. If you hadn't forcibly taken away our young sect leader, do you think I would have gone to such lengths to infiltrate the Ming Cult and get close to you?"
Upon hearing Sun Yuanjie's words, Xiao Feng's expression, already filled with disappointment and sorrow, became even more incredulous.
Seeing Xiao Feng like this, Sun Yuanjie's churning emotions surged even more intensely.
He actually felt that he had let Xiao Feng down.
But the most crucial thing now is to find out where Xuanyuan Jian is!
"Is the young sect leader you're talking about Xuan Yuanjian, who appeared in the small town at the foot of Mingjiao Mountain a month ago?" Xiao Feng asked with disappointment in his voice.
"So you knew! Tell me, where exactly did you take our young sect leader?" Sun Yuanjie's eyes lit up, and he immediately pressed for an answer again.
Xiao Feng shook his head and said directly, "I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't know where this young sect master you're talking about is. Why do you think I know him?"
Seeing Xiao Feng's expression, before Sun Yuanjie could even speak, his confidant on the other side was clearly getting anxious.
His main mission, as assigned by the Tianyi Sect Master, was to find Xuanyuan Jian.
He did know that Sun Yuanjie originally had other tasks, but what did Sun Yuanjie's tasks have to do with him?
All he needs to do is find Xuanyuan Jian and bring him back.
Thinking of this, his confidant immediately stepped forward, ready to interrogate Xiao Feng.
"Don't lie. Senior Brother Sun has already sent word back that the young sect leader disappeared in the small town at the foot of your Ming Cult Mountain."
"Only you had a conflict with our young sect leader. The young sect leader was lured away from that town by you and went to the mountains outside, and then disappeared without a trace."
"Didn't you take our young sect leader away? Don't think you can hide your little schemes from us. If you don't obediently confess, you won't leave here alive today!"
The Tianyi Sect Master sent his trusted confidant to find Xuanyuan Jian, but did not tell the confidant about Sun Yuanjie's mission.
Therefore, his confidants were unaware that Sun Yuanjie intended to capture Xiao Feng alive and bring him back to the Tianyi Sect.
Upon hearing his confidant's words, Sun Yuanjie immediately spoke up: "He is the sect leader's man, so we cannot kill him. If he really refuses to confess, then cripple him and bring him back to Tianyi Sect."
The confidant merely glanced at Sun Yuanjie, showing no approval of his decision. He continued to coldly stare at Xiao Feng, relentlessly advancing towards him with his long sword in hand.
"Wait a minute, you just said that you believed Xuanyuan Jian was taken away by me because of what he said, but how do you know that what he said is true?"
“I remember what happened that day. I remember your young sect leader, my companions, and I talked a lot, including about this Senior Brother Sun.”
“Your young sect leader said that he originally went down the mountain with this Senior Brother Sun, but not long after they went down the mountain, Senior Brother Sun lost them and left on his own!” Xiao Feng said.
