Qin Feng raised an eyebrow as he looked at the suddenly appearing old man. He hadn't even noticed when this person had arrived.
This man had a thin face, white hair but a youthful appearance, and rode a crane, giving him the air of a hermit. He was observing him with great interest.
Qin Feng investigated briefly and was quite surprised to find that the old man and the crane were both highly skilled, at the same Great Emperor realm.
Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
"Another Emperor Realm expert! So many Emperor Realm experts have suddenly appeared, and they're even Great Emperor Realm experts. We couldn't find them even with a lantern before."
His words didn't sound like he was there to cause trouble; rather, it seemed like he was offering a well-intentioned reminder. Also, his attire didn't seem to belong to the Dark Temple.
He couldn't figure out the man's purpose, so he just stared at the old man quietly without saying a word.
Seeing this, the old man stroked his beard and looked at Qin Feng with a serious expression, as if he were considering something.
"Young friend, I'm not trying to scare you, but you've really gotten yourself into trouble. Do you know what kind of organization the person you just killed belonged to?"
Qin Feng remained calm and nodded slightly. "Of course I know. They are from the Dark Palace. Senior, please speak frankly."
Seeing Qin Feng's composure, the old man nodded approvingly, then said to Qin Feng very seriously:
"Oh, since you know they are from the Dark Palace, do you know that the masks they wear have various wonderful uses?"
One of these methods was to send a message back to them, relaying all the victims back to their original location.
In other words, the Dark Temple already knows of your existence, and you will be hunted down by the entire Dark Temple.
You may not know this, but the Dark Palace is actually the overlord that controls the entire Tianhuang Continent, and has been unmatched for many years.
The old man's words grew increasingly serious, but he noticed that Qin Feng remained unmoved, his expression as calm as still water.
He couldn't help but think more highly of Qin Feng.
Qin Feng nodded frankly, "After our interaction just now, I have a general understanding of the situation."
Upon hearing this, the old man stared at Qin Feng, "Aren't you worried at all?"
Qin Feng smiled slightly, "What's there to panic about? They've come to bully us, are we going to fight back instead of thinking about all that nonsense?"
The old man was taken aback, then burst into laughter, "Good lad, well said."
Then he looked at Qin Feng meaningfully and asked with a hint of arrogance:
"Aren't you curious, young friend? Logically speaking, they should have known immediately that you killed people from the Dark Palace."
They will immediately send someone to teleport to you and relentlessly hunt you down.
"But now I've been talking to you for so long, and their people still haven't shown up. Don't you find that strange?"
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, realizing that the old man was right. When he was about to kill You Rui, You Gao and You Min had appeared very quickly.
But now that he has killed You Gao and the other two, the people from the Dark Palace have not arrived yet. Instead, an old man of unknown identity has come.
Qin Feng thought about it for a moment and understood. He looked at the old man curiously and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this must be your masterpiece, senior."
The old man stroked his long beard with great satisfaction and nodded affirmatively.
"Indeed, it was I who took action, causing a delay in the information they were transmitting."
However, don't be too happy yet. When their demon masks shatter, the Dark Palace will receive a warning, indicating that danger is imminent.
Although I delayed the message transmission, they will receive it sooner or later and will begin hunting you down.
Then he looked at Qin Feng and said, "But you don't seem to be worried at all. I've just been fussy."
Qin Feng smiled upon hearing this, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help, senior. I am extremely grateful."
The old man pointed at Qin Feng and laughed, "Come on, I think you're just hoping they'll come looking for you."
Seeing that Qin Feng didn't take it seriously, the old man solemnly reminded him:
"Young friend, you must not be careless. The two people you killed before, what they said was true."
"Not to mention their temple master, even those two elders are not to be trifled with. You must be extremely careful."
Qin Feng nodded, looking at the old man with curiosity.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. We've been chatting for so long, but I still don't know your name."
"I wonder what brings you here, senior? Could it be that you're here specifically to remind me?"
The old man stroked his beard, glanced at Qin Feng, then turned to look into the distance, his gaze becoming profound, and slowly said:
"I come from the Zhuge family, and my given name is Tian. Have you ever heard of me?"
Qin Feng thought for a moment, then shook his head, "This junior is ignorant and has never heard of it."
The old man chuckled self-deprecatingly, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. I'll tell you another name, and you'll definitely know it."
Qin Feng looked at Zhuge Tian with curiosity, "Please enlighten me, senior."
Zhuge Tian said somewhat dejectedly, "You should have heard of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, right? It's a powerful force in the region now, and its name is widely known, haha."
Qin Feng frowned, looking at Zhuge Tian with surprise, "Tianji Pavilion? Senior Zhuge is a member of Tianji Pavilion?"
His impression of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was terrible, especially after his conversation with You Rui, who said that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was nothing more than the henchmen of the Dark Palace.
The old Taoist priest Qingchen's claim of being revered by all is completely unrelated.
Zhuge Tian nodded with a furrowed brow and then waved his hand, which confused Qin Feng.
"What do you mean by this, senior?"
Zhuge Tian sighed and explained somewhat forlornly.
"It is true that I am a member of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, but it is the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion from a thousand years ago, not the current Heavenly Mystery Pavilion that is opportunistic and easily manipulated."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's expression softened, as if he had understood something.
Zhuge Tian looked at Qin Feng and said, "Judging from your expression, I believe you have some understanding of the current Tianji Pavilion."
