silence.
A deathly silence.
Yuwen Fang wasn't in a hurry. The two old men had overheard his conversation with the divine son and daughter.
A moment later.
A deep voice sounded, "Could you please provide the specific address?"
“Nebula Lake,” Yuwen Fang said calmly.
"There are no magical herbs here. Are you kidding me?" a voice said, tinged with anger.
Yuwen Fang waved his hand slightly.
"The immortal herb is naturally in my hands. I'll just make up an excuse and put it in the lake. Relax, why be so particular?"
After a moment's hesitation, the two elders agreed, "Very well, we two will go as well."
Yuwen Fang bowed again, then turned and left.
But when he left, you could clearly see the ruthlessness in his eyes.
The next moment, the sinister aura dissipated, leaving only a facade of compassion.
"Xiao Que, Xiao Yu, let's go."
After speaking to the Divine Child and Divine Maiden, Yuwen Fang took the initiative to fly into the distance. Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Que followed closely behind. They could both walk on air, but their speed would be relatively slow.
Ye Que has now successfully broken through the Nirvana Realm and reached the Heavenly King Realm.
Ye Xiaoyu has reached the Emperor Realm, and the next step is the Venerable Realm. This realm was the highest realm in the Great Xia Kingdom when she was a child.
Whether it's the powerful elders or the leader of the Dragon Group, they all belong to this level.
If the spiritual vein tide hadn't arrived ahead of schedule, the Venerable of Great Xia would probably still be at the highest realm, instead of the later Martial Saint.
An hour later, Yuwen Fang and the Divine Child and Divine Maiden successfully stopped at the edge of Nebula Lake. The so-called Nebula Lake is a lake formed by the power of stars. It is named because the lake water sometimes rises like clouds.
After Yuwen Fang came down, he made up a reason on the spot, saying that there was a magical herb at the bottom of the lake and that he needed to go down into the lake.
Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu thought to themselves that since they were in the Endless Sea of Stars and there were two guardian elders observing from the shadows, there shouldn't be any major problems.
On the one hand, they thought that this senior brother Yuwen Fang was really friendly to them, so they followed Yuwen Fang and jumped into the lake.
When the two elders who were protecting their master saw this, they wanted to stop them, but it was too late. The three figures had already disappeared, so they simply let it go.
They had been to the bottom of the lake; it was ordinary, nothing special. The divine son and daughter cultivated diligently and both broke through a major realm.
It's normal to let them relax and have some fun.
The starlight in the lake was no problem for Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu; in fact, it gave them a warm feeling.
Yuwen Fang, who was ahead, was in pain. He had to expel the star power around him from time to time, fearing that those things would enter his body.
"Third Senior Brother, why are you so scared? This power of the stars is exceptionally pure, and absorbing it will bring many benefits. Why are you so resistant?"
"So many benefits! I almost got exposed because of these things!" Yuwen Fang cursed inwardly.
The real Yuwen Fang died five days ago. The Yuwen Fang who is now appearing in front of Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu is a disguise made by Ku Zhen using the Teleportation Divine Skill.
This divine skill can not only replicate the original owner's appearance and aura, but also copy parts of their techniques, voice, and memories.
The downside is that it consumes too much immortal energy and can damage one's foundation.
If Ku Zhen hadn't set up an array at the bottom of this Nebula Lake beforehand, which would have guaranteed his capture, he would never have been able to use the Teleportation Divine Skill to disguise himself.
Faced with Ye Xiaoyu's question, Ku Zhen chuckled and explained.
"I've been a bit distracted during my cultivation lately. The stellar energy here is too pure, which is having a certain impact on me."
"Oh," Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu responded simultaneously, without suspecting their third senior brother.
Soon, the three of them reached the bottom of the lake. Yuwen Fang led two of the Ye family's younger generation to a spot in the middle of the lake, sat down briefly, and then, as if by magic, pulled out several immortal herbs from the side of a rock at the bottom of the lake.
Upon seeing this, Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu immediately clapped in celebration, while Yuwen Fang smiled faintly and tossed the ball to the two of them.
Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu didn't think much of it, took the food and put it to their mouths, chewing it heartily, looking very hungry.
Actually, it's not their fault. Immortal herbs are rare, and eating them can strengthen one's constitution and nourish one's vital energy. Moreover, the immortal herbs that Yuwen Fang has been giving them these past few days have all been coated with secret medicine. Otherwise, how could they taste so good?
After Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu finished eating the immortal herbs, Yuwen Fang closed his eyes slightly, and Ye Xiaoyu spoke first.
"Third Senior Brother, are we going to cultivate here? The stellar energy here seems exceptionally pure."
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Fang smiled but did not answer, muttering to himself.
Finally, he shouted.
"rise!"
As the words fell, a formation suddenly appeared in the center of the lake, with various runes crisscrossing and outlining a complex pattern.
The next moment, all three were simultaneously enveloped by the powerful force of the formation. Under the suppression of this force, the energy within Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu began to become uncontrollably chaotic.
Trying to use force to suppress it only exacerbates the disorder.
The two looked at their third senior brother, who still had his eyes closed, with horrified expressions.
Why would the latter activate this formation for no reason?
"Hahaha!" Yuwen Fang had already opened his eyes. "You two are supposed to be the divine son and daughter personally chosen by Chen Jian, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid."
Ye Xiaoyu immediately became alert and shouted, "You're not Third Senior Brother, who are you?"
"Hahaha, of course I'm not that even more foolish Yuwen Fang."
"Fine, let me leave you with an impression of me before you die. Consider it a good deed I've done."
After speaking, Yuwen Fang covered his face. A moment later, the face that reappeared was not the familiar one, but an ugly face covered in hair, with deer antlers and bull eyes.
It's incredibly creepy!
"You, you are Ku Zhen, the Third Elder of the Harmony Temple?" Ye Que asked in a low voice.
When they were taken into the Star Temple, Elder Qu Feng introduced them to the current power and elders of the major temples.
Ye Que was very interested in these things and wrote them down.
Unexpectedly, he encountered one today. His heart sank to the bottom because Elder Qu Feng made this comment when introducing Ku Zhen.
"This person is ruthless and likes to seize the bloodline of others and their precious artifacts. Although he is only at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, when he unleashes his full power, he is comparable to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Even the Grand Elder of the Harmony Divine Palace is quite wary of him."
Ye Xiaoyu saw the gloom and despair on Ye Que's face.
She tried to harness the power of the stars to leave the bottom of the lake, only to find that she couldn't even get up.
