The number of places to enter the temple is extremely scarce and strictly limited. Even a top sect like the Kaoshan Sect, which is renowned and powerful, only obtained three precious places.
As for the slightly inferior first-class sects, there are only two slots available for allocation.
As for second-rate sects, they are pitifully limited to having only one spot.
Moreover, there are also some powerful True Spirit families in the True Spirit Continent that can rival the top sects, and they also have three precious spots.
The three spots that Kao Shan Sect obtained this time were given to Qin Feng, Su Liyue, and the Seventh Elder Lin Xuan.
Everyone eagerly awaited Lin Xuan's arrival, and Qin Feng and his group immediately set off.
Not long after flying out of the territory of the Backing Mountain Sect, a thought suddenly flashed through Qin Feng's mind—Little Lin.
Dao Yuan and Ning Que were to escort them to Icewind Mountain. Qin Feng was worried that if the Thief Alliance took this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Backing Mountain Sect and kidnap Xiao Lin, what should he do?
Thinking of this, Qin Feng quickly turned to look at Dao Yuan beside him and asked, "Are there any other half-step Heavenly Dao Realm cultivators within the sect?"
Upon hearing Qin Feng's question, Dao Yuan was slightly taken aback, but then immediately understood the source of his deep-seated worry.
Dao Yuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile, as he reassured Qin Feng, "Don't worry, our sect has more than just one Supreme Elder!"
"If the Thief of Heaven Alliance dares to rashly attack my Backing Sect, hmph..."
At this point, Dao Yuan's smile grew even brighter, as if he could already see the pathetic state of the Thief Alliance, who had brought this upon themselves.
Qin Feng looked at Dao Yuan's bright smile and his lips twitched violently.
As expected of the sixth-ranked sect, it seems they really have quite a few hidden half-step Heavenly Dao Realm experts!
...
Ten days later, sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting dappled shadows and illuminating the figures of Qin Feng and his group.
They streaked across the sky like five bolts of lightning, leaving behind dazzling trails that resembled shooting stars twinkling in the night sky.
Just then, as they flew over the vast, boundless poisonous swamp, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in their hearts.
Almost simultaneously, as if by telepathy, the five people slowed down their flight speed and eventually hovered steadily in mid-air.
Everyone's brows were furrowed, their expressions shifting between light and shadow, and their eyes scanned their surroundings warily.
The miasma rising from the poisonous swamp filled the air, making visibility somewhat blurry, but this did not affect their keen senses.
Qin Feng took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner unease.
He could sense a powerful and mysterious force lurking in this area, like a giant beast hidden in the darkness, ready to strike and harm people at any moment.
The four people beside him, including Su Liyue, were also on high alert, each emanating faint fluctuations of divine power.
Suddenly, the once calm and still swamp began to churn violently without warning!
Suddenly, a huge ripple, like a raging storm, appeared on the dark green water, spreading rapidly in all directions in layers.
Accompanied by this surging wave, a huge and mysterious black shadow rose into the sky from the depths of the poisonous swamp with the force of thunder!
The shadowy figure was extremely large, resembling a small hill looming across the sky.
Its body is winding and twisting, resembling a snake but also different, covered with a thick layer of black scales that shimmer with a sinister and cold light.
What's even more chilling is that this dark figure constantly emits a strong, nauseating stench of decay, as if it were made up of countless rotting corpses.
Just smelling this odor can make people feel dizzy and nauseous.
"What... what kind of monster is this?"
Su Liyue was terrified by the horrifying sight before her. She involuntarily took a few steps back, covered her mouth and nose with her hands, and screamed in a trembling voice.
In contrast, Qin Feng appeared much calmer.
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp as he stared intently at the dark figure, observing its every move with rapt attention.
Dao Yuan frowned deeply, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt. He stared intently at the huge, ferocious-looking monster opposite him, pondering to himself.
After a long while, he finally spoke with some hesitation, "This... could this really be the legendary Primordial Giant Serpent?"
It was as if even he himself couldn't believe his own judgment.
Then, as if he had suddenly remembered something, he quickly added, "I remember hearing that there was a Supreme Elder in the Thief Alliance who had been carefully raising such an ancient giant serpent!"
As he spoke, his gaze never left the monster, as if he wanted to see through its appearance to the secrets and power hidden deep within.
Upon hearing Dao Yuan's words, Qin Feng frowned slightly, but his face did not show much surprise.
After all, the Thief Alliance had not taken any substantial action in the past six months.
Based on Qin Feng's understanding of their style of doing things, it was not difficult to deduce that the other party must be lying in the shadows, quietly waiting for a perfect opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
Now that Qin Feng has left the Backing Mountain Sect, he only has Dao Yuan and Ning Que, both at the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm, by his side, which is a good opportunity to get rid of him.
How could the Thief Alliance easily miss such a good opportunity?
Thinking of this, Qin Feng couldn't help but become more vigilant, his gaze slowly sweeping across the enormous ancient serpent not far ahead.
The ancient giant serpent's body twisted and turned, coiling on the ground like a small mountain, exuding a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.
Based on Qin Feng's observation and judgment, this monster's strength is comparable to that of a half-step Heavenly Dao Realm expert.
Even so, it was clearly no match for Dao Yuan and Ning Que.
Therefore, the ancient giant serpent is not to be feared; the greatest threat is the person hiding in the shadows.
Just then, Dao Yuan spoke calmly, "Fellow Daoists, are you not going to show yourselves?"
"Do you really think that this beast in front of you can threaten us?"
Not long after Dao Yuan finished speaking, four figures appeared around Qin Feng and the others.
Qin Feng was taken aback when he saw the face of one of the figures. "It's you!"
This person is actually Feng Youyou!
Qin Feng knew that Feng Youyou was a member of the Thief Alliance, but he never expected that he would become her enemy when he met her again.
Feng Youyou looked at Qin Feng calmly, a complex look flashing in her eyes. "I never imagined that our reunion would result in us becoming enemies!"
