Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Ling Xueyan released him almost without hesitation and put him down immediately.
Then, with a solemn expression, she said, "I strongly advise against provoking the demonic puppets!"
"While dealing with these demonic puppets might not be difficult for you given your strength, you must not overlook one crucial factor—the ancient demons could break free of their restraints and rush to your aid at any moment!"
"Once the ancient demons break free and arrive, the situation we face will become extremely dire."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng frowned, his expression becoming extremely solemn. He fixed his gaze on Ling Xueyan and earnestly asked, "Is the strength of this ancient demon truly as terrifying as you say?"
After taking a deep breath, Ling Xueyan's face showed deep apprehension as she slowly replied, "I can tell you with certainty that the actual situation is far more terrifying than you imagine!"
"Back in that secret chamber, I vaguely sensed the powerful aura of that ancient demon. Judging from my perception, its true strength is already infinitely close to the Heavenly Dao Realm!"
"It's no exaggeration to say that this ancient demon's strength is among the pinnacle of all half-step Heavenly Dao Realm experts!"
"Hiss..." Qin Feng couldn't help but gasp, his face filled with disbelief and astonishment, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"
If that ancient demon truly possesses such astonishing strength, nearly reaching the level of the Heavenly Dao Realm, then the two of them would indeed find it difficult to deal with it.
After a moment of silence, Qin Feng gritted his teeth, a resolute look on his face, and slowly said, "Then... what should we do now? Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"
His voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he was filled with anxiety and unease.
After all, the words of the mysterious white-robed youth had been lingering in his mind—once the ancient demon successfully escaped, it would inevitably bring annihilation to all living beings in the entire temple.
At the time, he thought the boy in white was exaggerating, but now it seems to be true.
Ling Xueyan slightly furrowed her slender and beautiful eyebrows, which were as long as willow leaves, and fell into a brief state of contemplation.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she seemed to be rapidly searching for a solution in her mind.
After a while, she finally raised her head and said firmly, "In my opinion, our most urgent task is to find that young man in white and take back the fragment of the Primordial Chaos Map from him!"
"Only in this way can we have a chance to stop this disaster from happening."
Then, Ling Xueyan paused briefly before adding, "Then, we will collect all the remaining fragments of the Primordial Origin Realm scattered around as soon as possible and open the Primordial Origin Realm."
"As far as I know, there is a primordial treasure called the Demon Suppression Tower within the Primordial Chaos Realm."
"This treasure possesses immense power; it should be enough to completely suppress the ancient demon!"
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. His deep and sharp eyes stared straight at Ling Xueyan, as if trying to see right through her.
"Didn't you previously claim that you didn't know much about the Primordial Chaos Realm? Then how do you know that the Demon Suppression Tower is hidden there?" Qin Feng's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it carried an undeniable sense of doubt and pressure.
When Qin Feng questioned her like this, Ling Xueyan's eyes began to flicker. She guiltily turned her gaze to the side, not daring to meet Qin Feng's eyes, and even let out a soft snort: "Hmph! I have integrated the memories of many reincarnated avatars, so it is inevitable that some confusion will occur, so that some memories are temporarily buried deep in my mind."
"As for the Demon-Suppressing Tower... I only suddenly remembered it just now!"
Hearing Ling Xueyan's explanation, Qin Feng couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Knowing Ling Xueyan as he did, how could he easily believe her words?
However, now was not the right time to pursue the matter, so Qin Feng changed the subject and asked directly, "Since you've already remembered the Demon Suppression Tower, do you know where the other fragments of the Primordial Chaos Realm map are located?"
Ling Xueyan gently shook her head, her long, ink-black hair swaying slightly. She parted her lips and said softly, "I don't know!"
However, before she could finish speaking, she seemed to remember something important and added, "However, as far as I know, every fragment of the Primordial World map is inevitably guarded by a powerful divine beast or ancient god!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was startled. Before he could recover from his shock, Ling Xueyan continued her analysis: "If I'm not mistaken, the white-robed youth we encountered earlier was probably an ancient god!"
"Ancient God?" Qin Feng trembled, his face filled with astonishment. His eyes widened instantly as he stared at Ling Xueyan's exquisite and beautiful face, as if trying to see through her appearance to understand her innermost thoughts.
Only now did he realize that the woman in front of him knew far more about the temple than he had imagined!
"Ling Xueyan, how many things are you still keeping from me?" Qin Feng stared intently at Ling Xueyan, his gaze sharp, and asked without flinching.
Ling Xueyan's eyes flickered, as if she felt a little guilty. She turned her head slightly, not daring to look Qin Feng in the eye for too long. She only glanced at him briefly before quickly looking away.
Then she gave a soft, cold snort and said, "Why are you suddenly asking this? What's it to you?"
Qin Feng frowned, dissatisfied with Ling Xueyan's evasive attitude, but still patiently continued to press: "I want to know the truth. Shouldn't you give me an explanation? After all, we've been through quite a lot together."
However, Ling Xueyan was not appreciative. Instead, she raised her chin and replied stubbornly, "Whether I'm hiding anything from you or not seems to be my personal freedom, doesn't it?"
"Even if there was something I was hiding, it was my own choice."
Then she added, "Besides, you're nobody to me, so why should I be completely open and honest with you? Why should I tell you everything?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng pursed his lips helplessly, thinking that continuing to argue like this would probably not lead to any results.
So he decided to stop dwelling on the issue and just focus on confirming that Ling Xueyan was not his enemy at the moment.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng slowly raised his head and looked at the sky shrouded in heavy smog.
Despite the obstructed view, making it impossible to see the mysterious demonic puppet in the sky, he was still able to clearly sense its presence thanks to his keen perception and powerful mental strength.
The demonic puppet remained silently in place throughout, showing no sign of moving or leaving.
