Ning Wuji looked like an ostrich, his face full of frustration, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
He looked around, his eyes darting about, and just then his gaze met Qin Feng's.
Upon seeing Qin Feng, Ning Wuji was initially taken aback, but then his face lit up with joy, and he quickly cast a pleading look at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to ignore Ning Wuji's pitiful look.
After all, the stunning beauty clearly had no intention of killing Ning Wuji, and rashly intervening to save him might only create unnecessary complications.
Seeing that Qin Feng ignored him, Ning Wuji gave a bitter smile.
He also understood that the current situation was somewhat delicate, and it was understandable that Qin Feng was ignoring him.
So he silently looked away and simply closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.
After glancing at Ning Wuji, Chi Yu turned his gaze to Qin Feng and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you go and save him?"
Qin Feng rolled his eyes at Chi Yu and replied helplessly, "Aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to?"
Chi Yu pouted with disdain, muttering, "What's there to be afraid of? He's just a peak Immortal Emperor!"
"And don't forget, you also have two powerful maids! They are both ancient emperor-level experts, so what do you have to fear?"
Qin Feng ignored Chi Yu. How could this woman not know that what truly made him wary was not the people in front of him, but the Demon Lord Bing Po, who had not yet shown himself?
Seeing Qin Feng remain silent, Chi Yu lightly pursed her lips and said no more.
At the same time, Tian Sha gradually lost patience. He turned to look at Ning Yao and Yao Yue, and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, do you intend to continue this stalemate here?"
Ning Yao and Yao Yue exchanged a glance before turning their gazes to the dark, deep vortex, and then to Tian Sha.
Ning Yao's lips curled slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips, as she said, "In my opinion, why don't you go ahead and scout the way?"
Tian Sha quickly replied with a smile, "Your strength far surpasses mine, so you are naturally more suitable to scout ahead!"
Ning Yao chuckled lightly, her tone mocking, "Sorry, we're not that foolish!"
Tian Sha frowned, knowing full well that it was a pipe dream to have Ning Yao and Yao Yue lead the charge. He could only helplessly turn his gaze back and scan the other races.
Finally, his gaze settled on the human side. After scrutinizing each person from head to toe, a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
The human race is small, numbering only one hundred, and all of them are at the Immortal Emperor realm, with the two strongest among them only at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.
Among all the races, none is more suited to explore the Black Vortex than the human race.
"You little insects of the human race, choose two of you to go into the black vortex to scout ahead!" Tian Sha's eyes were cold, and his tone left no room for negotiation.
Upon hearing Tian Sha's words, the faces of the human race members turned extremely ugly, and each of them was filled with boundless rage.
At that moment, Li Qingyuan, who had been silently hiding among the crowd, hesitated for a moment before resolutely stepping forward.
He stood tall and fearless, meeting Tian Sha's gaze head-on, and replied in an icy voice, "We humans refuse!"
"What did you just say?" Tian Sha was clearly unable to accept this answer, staring at Li Qingyuan's face with suspicion, as if trying to find a flaw or fear in the other's expression.
However, Li Qingyuan showed no fear, his attitude as firm as a rock, and he repeated: "We humans are unwilling!"
Tian Sha's face instantly turned ashen, and he coldly snorted, "Do you know who you're talking to? Are you tired of living and looking for death?"
Li Qingyuan abandoned his previous low-key demeanor and suddenly unleashed his aura. His powerful and unparalleled presence swept out like a torrent, making everyone present feel a pressure from the depths of their souls.
His eyes were icy as he stared ahead, and he said sternly, "I am Qin Feng's servant. My master will be here soon. You dare to touch the slightest part of my human race?"
Just then, Ning Yao and Yao Yue flashed and appeared almost simultaneously beside Li Qingyuan, standing side by side. The two women's gazes were fixed on Tian Sha, their eyes flashing with determination.
"Heavenly Fiend, have you forgotten our identities?" Ning Yao spoke first, her voice clear and melodious, but the chill within it sent shivers down one's spine.
The Demon Queen's tone was even more impolite: "Why waste words with this scoundrel? If he dares to make any rash moves, just kill him." Her words were filled with murderous intent.
Tian Sha's expression turned extremely ugly, and he was secretly filled with remorse. He had been so careless that he had almost forgotten that Qin Feng was a human, and that Ning Yao and Yao Yue were both Qin Feng's maids. Now that he intended to attack the human race, how could Ning Yao and Yao Yue possibly stand idly by?
Tian Sha clenched his fists, cold sweat beading on his palms, an endless rage welling up within him. He wished he could immediately draw the God-Slaying Spear and fight Ning Yao and Yao Yue to the death.
However, reason told him that given the current balance of power, he didn't have a sure chance of winning. So, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and try to calm himself down.
"Very well! You are truly remarkable! When the Demon Lord arrives here, let's see if you will still be so arrogant!" Tian Sha said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with resentment.
Ning Yao's lips curled into a slight smile, letting out a contemptuous laugh: "Heh, then wait until your so-called Demon Lord arrives before you try to provoke me! But until then, you'd better stay put, or I won't hesitate to annihilate you!"
Tian Sha's face turned extremely ugly, so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, and his heart was filled with extreme anger.
He was about to open his mouth to refute when he heard a deafening roar from above.
In an instant, everyone's gaze turned to the sky, where a huge black hole had appeared in what was once azure sky.
Tian Sha's face immediately lit up with ecstatic joy, and he shouted, "The Demon Lord has arrived!"
However, the expressions of everyone else present instantly turned extremely grim. The Demon Lord Ice Soul's personal descent was definitely not good news for anyone.
Qin Feng frowned deeply, his expression serious and grave. He knew that Ning Yao and Yao Yue alone would likely be no match for Bing Po.
Akabane's brows were furrowed, and his expression kept changing, showing that he was very worried.
Her biggest worry was that Bingpo would discover her. Once discovered, given Bingpo's terrifying strength, she would probably have little chance of escaping.
