Not long after Qin Feng and his two companions left, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared in the previously empty place.
Immediately afterwards, with a slight distortion in space, two figures appeared without warning not far from where Qin Feng and the others had just been standing.
The two people were a man and a woman. The man's face was extremely thin, as if he had been mercilessly eroded by the years, and he looked very old.
His appearance was so ugly that it inspired fear in people.
However, despite his unpleasant appearance, the aura emanating from him was exceptionally powerful, as unfathomable as a surging ocean, indicating that he was at the peak of the Hongmeng Saint Emperor realm!
Looking at the woman again, she possessed a beauty that could topple kingdoms.
Her exquisite face was flawless, as if sculpted with exquisite skill. Her long, silver hair, as dazzling as the Milky Way, cascaded over her shoulders, and as it swayed gently, it seemed as if starlight shimmered within it.
What is most striking are the three crystal-clear ice mark between her eyebrows and her deep, icy blue pupils.
When she gazes ahead, it's as if she can freeze one's soul.
Similarly, this woman also possessed the terrifying cultivation of a peak Hongmeng Saint Emperor, which was in no way inferior to the ugly man beside her.
Qin Feng had briefly met these two before entering the temple; they were two of the three Spirit Race members who entered the temple.
The ugly man's eyes were fixed on the receding figures of Qin Feng and his companions, his brows furrowed slightly, as if his heart was filled with doubt and dissatisfaction.
Then, he abruptly turned around, glaring at the silver-haired beauty beside him, and demanded in an unfriendly tone, "Why did you stop me from ambushing them? Didn't you know it was a golden opportunity?"
Qin Feng and the other two were already seriously injured, and their divine power was almost completely exhausted.
In this situation, the ugly man felt that if he took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, he would be able to easily kill them.
However, just as he was about to make a move, the silver-haired beauty beside him suddenly reached out and stopped him.
The silver-haired beauty frowned slightly. Her stunning face showed little change in expression, but her eyes were unusually calm and deep.
She met the ugly man's gaze without flinching and said in a nonchalant tone, "Linke, are you out of your mind?"
Then she continued, "Do you think those three people are so easy to deal with?"
"Especially Qin Feng, how can you be so sure he doesn't have any powerful means of self-preservation?"
"If we act rashly, we may not only fail to kill them, but we may also bring disaster upon ourselves."
Lingke's face was full of disdain, and he let out a heavy snort.
He said in an extremely contemptuous tone, "Lingzhi, Lingzhi, are you blind?"
He pointed into the distance and then shouted, "Those three are clearly on their last legs!"
"Even if they still have some so-called life-saving methods hidden on them, how could they possibly have the strength to use them in their current condition!"
Ling Ke became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice unconsciously rose a lot: "Let's talk about Qin Feng. He's just a mere human!"
"Even if he were still at his peak, with his meager skills, he would never be a match for you or me!"
At this point, Lingke paused for a moment, seemingly trying to make his words more intimidating.
Then, his tone suddenly changed, becoming unusually stern: "Lingzhi, it is precisely because of your cowardly and timid behavior that we missed this golden opportunity to eliminate Qin Feng!"
"I will certainly report this matter truthfully to His Holiness the Holy Son, so that he may determine your guilt!"
Lingzhi curled her lip dismissively. "Whatever!"
Seeing Ling Zhi's indifferent expression, Ling Ke's anger was instantly ignited and burned fiercely.
He stared wide-eyed at Lingzhi, his chest heaving with rage, as if it were about to explode.
However, just as he opened his mouth, ready to reprimand Lingzhi sternly, he suddenly noticed that Lingzhi's relaxed expression had disappeared, replaced by a serious and solemn look.
Lingzhi's beautiful eyes were fixed on the front, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her cherry lips parted slightly as she said, "Lingke, I just vaguely sensed that Qin Feng and the others are holding three fragments of the Primordial Origin World map."
"Logically speaking, since they have already obtained such an important treasure, they will not give up easily and will definitely return!"
After saying that, she took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her turbulent emotions.
After a brief pause, Lingzhi continued, "With our strength alone, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock to confront Qin Feng and the others head-on. We have absolutely no chance of winning!"
Her voice was deep and firm, revealing an unquestionable resolve.
Immediately afterwards, Lingzhi gritted her teeth, as if making an extremely difficult decision, and slowly said, "Therefore, I intend to give them the only two fragments of the Primordial World map I have!"
"Are you crazy?" Ling Ke roared at Ling Zhi.
Lingzhi glanced at Lingke and scoffed. "I'm not crazy!"
"We are no match for them. The wisest choice is to hand over the fragments of the Primordial Chaos Realm map!"
"Of course, if you are confident that you can seize the three fragments of the Primordial Origin Realm from them, I can obey your every command!"
“You…” Ling Ke opened his mouth, then took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.
He wasn't stupid; he naturally knew that what Lingzhi said made perfect sense.
Qin Feng and Ling Xueyan are both Primordial Saint Emperors, just like them, and their strength is no weaker than theirs.
And that Qing Jie, that person is a half-step Heavenly Dao Realm expert!
Furthermore, they had been observing from the shadows and discovered that Qing Jie did not seem to be using his full strength.
Therefore, his and Lingzhi's attempt to seize the fragment of the Primordial Origin Realm map from Qin Feng and the other two was nothing short of a pipe dream.
In the end, Lingke reluctantly made his decision. "Alright, I'll do as you say!"
Lingzhi glanced at Lingke and pouted. "Don't feel embarrassed!"
"In front of powerful figures like Qin Feng, you still have to back down!"
"After all, our purpose in entering the temple wasn't to kill Qin Feng, but for the World Tree!"
Ling Ke smiled wryly. "I was indeed impulsive just now, and I didn't think things through!"
Lingzhi simply snorted and ignored Lingke. Then, with a flash, she disappeared without a trace.
Lingke also vanished without a trace in a flash.
