Lu Feng shifted his gaze from the storage ring and looked up at Xiang Sheng.
It was clearly the same face, but the impression it gave him was completely different.
For a moment, he didn't know whether he should continue to recruit this girl.
"Did you kill all the owners of the rings?" the man in green suddenly spoke.
"Master Shoumu thinks too highly of me."
Xiang Sheng showed a hint of helplessness and sighed, "As my Lord can see, I am only a second-level immortal. How could I have the courage to take action?
After I was separated from Master Lu, I met a group of female fairies. With their protection, I barely survived the beast tide.
As for how they died, I lost contact with them for a while and don't know."
Shoumu didn't believe a single punctuation mark when these words were spoken, but he didn't intend to get to the bottom of it.
He wished that all the female fairies in Yeying would die, and it didn't matter who killed them.
Moreover, compared to the cowardly and fearful Shen Xiang before, he admired the Shen Xiang in front of him more.
Thinking of this, he ignored Lu Feng who was still hesitating and asked directly:
"You asked me what the Forbidden Court can give you, so I would like to ask you, what do you want?"
"What a cultivator seeks is always to improve his cultivation."
Xiang Sheng's eyes were bright and piercing. "As long as it can improve my cultivation efficiency, any elixir or magic weapon will do. I'm not picky."
Shoumu was surprised at Xiang Sheng's confession, and then this surprise turned into admiration.
He took out a pill bottle and threw it to Xiang Sheng, "This is what I use for my daily cultivation. With your cultivation level, the remaining pills are enough to support you in cultivation for hundreds of years, and it will be no problem for you to cross the line between immortal and mortal."
Xiang Sheng took the pill bottle and opened it. Seeing that there was still more than half a bottle of Tempering Spirit Pill left, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and his tone became respectful:
"Lord Shoumu is sincere. I will enter this forbidden court."
"very good!"
Shoumu laughed heartily and took out a white token and handed it to Xiang Sheng: "This is my forbidden court token. Refine it with your blood right here. I will help you protect the law."
Xiang Sheng took the token, pinched his fingertip without saying a word, and squeezed out a drop of blood into it.
After seeing the blood being absorbed by the token with his own eyes, the man in green was finally completely relieved, and his gaze towards Xiang Sheng became more relaxed.
"The beast tide has passed, and the casualties are heavy. Ruan Hongyu will gather you soon and we'll all return to camp together.
I can't stay here for long. Lu Feng will explain the rest of the Forbidden Court affairs to you in detail. There's no need to rush."
Xiang Sheng nodded to show that he understood.
Shoumu said nothing more when he saw this and was about to leave when Lu Feng suddenly called out to him.
"etc!"
Lu Feng glanced at Xiang Sheng with a complicated expression and said gloomily, "Can I have a moment to talk?"
The man in green showed impatience in his eyes, but he didn't refuse after all. He followed Lu Feng to the side, casually set up a soundproofing barrier, and then spoke:
"What do you want to say? I have already refined my token for her. You can't go back on your word now."
"I have no regrets."
Lu Feng concealed the complexity in his eyes and asked in a cold voice: "I want to ask you, why did you make such a big fuss?
Don't you know that the louder the noise, the more holes you'll have?"
"Of course I do."
Shoumu sneered, "Do you think I was secretly driving this beast tide?"
Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it?"
"Of course not."
Shoumu scoffed: "I'm not stupid, how could I make such a stupid mistake?"
Having said this, Shoumu paused, his tone sinking slightly: “This beast tide… I don’t know what’s going on.
I was planning to drive away a group of rioting bone beasts in order to muddy the waters and implement my plan, but before I could drive them away, the beast tide arrived.
And I've never seen a bone beast that can shoot bone arrows."
Lu Feng's face was solemn: "This matter is full of strangeness. I should report it to the court."
"You don't need to remind me."
Having said that, Shoumu was too lazy to listen to Lu Feng's nonsense anymore. His figure flashed a few times and disappeared in the white light of bone and stone in the blink of an eye.
Lu Feng looked at the direction where Shoumu left, his eyes became heavier and heavier. It took him a long time to calm down, then he turned around and walked to Xiang Sheng.
"Let's go, Ruan Hongyu should be issuing a call for action soon."
He spoke coldly, no longer as gentle as before.
Xiang Sheng didn't care and followed. The sound of their conversation became farther and farther away.
"Master Lu, please take good care of me in the future."
"Shoume would probably be more willing to look after you than me."
“…”
Ling Ying pushed away the bone stone on her head and stood up with a numb look on her face, but tears were glistening in her eyes.
She looked expressionlessly in the direction where Xiang Sheng and the other man had left. The white light had obscured their figures, and she could not see anything clearly.
…
Ruan Hongyu waited there for three days, but only half of the people came back alive. Both the war camp and the forbidden camp suffered heavy casualties.
It was obviously difficult to continue the inspection of the forbidden defense line, so Ruan Hongyu decisively gave an order, ordering everyone to board the fairy boat and rush back at full speed.
The immortal boat became much more spacious, so Xiang Sheng was able to be assigned a large room.
Lu Feng probably felt annoyed with her and did not come over immediately to explain what was happening in the forbidden court.
She was also happy about this. After waving her sleeves to set up a restriction, she sat down cross-legged and concentrated on dealing with the extra restriction in her sea of consciousness.
This trace of restriction had quietly crept in along with her blood when she was refining the Forbidden Court Token just now, and the fluctuations were extremely subtle.
Fortunately, she had taken precautions and used the inheritance tower to protect her sea of consciousness. This prevented the forbidden soul from entering and could only wander in the sea of consciousness.
After observing for a while through the inheritance tower, Xiang Sheng's eyes revealed a hint of fear.
This restriction was extremely weak, but the complexity of the runes contained in it exceeded any she had seen before.
