"I already know about Yun Yao's situation. The matter is quite complex, and I've found a way to get her back to Oufa City!"
"Shen Potian" looked at the Mirror Arcane Yuan Coin in Ye Feng's hand. "The communication range of this Mirror Arcane Yuan Coin is limited. Since you've run all the way to Brad Base, it's normal that you couldn't receive Yun Yao's messages!"
"This damned Cataclysm has messed up the entire world... With just a slight distance, forget about phones, radio transceivers, walkie-talkies, or even Mirror Arcane Yuan Coins for communication!"
"Originally, there was a.... sadly..."
"Shen Potian's" voice trailed off, eventually disappearing altogether.
"Senior Shen, how did you manage to send Yun Yao back to Oufa City?"
Ye Feng frowned. "Did Yun Yao tell you what happened to her in the ancient ruins?"
"There's someone named Tu Huo, one of the Five Great Arcanists of Oufa City. That guy is very powerful and possesses a divine artifact called the Spear of War. He tacitly allowed people from Oufa City to try and kill Shen Yun Yao in the ancient ruins!"
"Although the space where the ancient ruins were located eventually collapsed, Tu Huo might not be dead!"
"If he also returns to Oufa City, Yun Yao will be in danger!"
Ye Feng quickly said to "Shen Potian".
"This... Ye Feng, I'm happy you care about Yun Yao!"
"Shen Potian" smiled with relief. "Yun Yao's return to Oufa City wasn't a rash decision. It was made after careful consideration!"
"I have old acquaintances in Oufa City, and Yun Yao's cultivation will improve much faster there!"
"As for Tu Huo, even in the ancient ruins, he couldn't kill Yun Yao. Don't worry!"
"Shen Potian" explained to Ye Feng with a chuckle.
"Uh... alright!"
Seeing "Shen Potian's" confidence and recalling how he killed Kelleji a few days prior, Ye Feng didn't say anything more.
"It seems that even among the seven major forces, the gap between their leaders is still considerable..."
Ye Feng looked in the direction of Blood Moon City and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
That fellow Blood Ancestor is also one of the seven major forces, the leader of Brad Base. But besides possessing the tricky power of space, he's far from being comparable to "Shen Potian"...
"Big Brother, come quick, let's set off fireworks!"
"I've saved them up for a long time!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao ran towards him, shouting excitedly at Ye Feng as she ran.
"Oh, okay!~"
...
"Whoosh!~ Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
"Zwoosh~! Zwoosh zwoosh!"
"Bang~! Crackle, pop~!"
Soon, Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, Ling Xi, Leng Yue, and Qiao Ying were setting off fireworks.
In the quiet night sky, brilliant fireworks exploded, displaying a myriad of colors and shapes, a breathtaking spectacle.
...
Deep into the night,
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao had already fallen asleep. "Shen Potian," Yue Miao, and Bao Yuting had also retired to their tents.
However, Ling Xi, Leng Yue, and Qiao Ying were wide awake. They walked to a spot far from the camp and chatted softly while looking at the stars.
"Sister Leng, Ling Xi, thank you for coming to save me!"
"I never expected that after so many years, the three of us sisters would be reunited like this!"
"For a moment, I truly thought we would never see each other again!"
"Honestly, when I was captured by the vampires, I both hoped you would come to save me and feared that you actually would..."
After a few days of rest, Qiao Ying, looking much better, gazed at the starry sky with emotion.
"Uh..."
Upon hearing Qiao Ying's words, Ling Xi and Leng Yue both felt a bit awkward.
"What's wrong?"
Qiao Ying sensed the unusual atmosphere and turned her gaze to Ling Xi and Leng Yue.
"Qiao Ying... we... we actually didn't come specifically to save you!"
Ling Xi spoke to Qiao Ying with some embarrassment.
"That's right!"
Leng Yue continued, "Brad Base was making such a big fuss about auctioning off an angel. I felt something was off from the very beginning!"
"Ling Xi and I came to Brad Base, and although we considered investigating the situation, the main reason wasn't to save you! Discovering you were actually captured was purely coincidental!"
"You don't need to be so moved!"
"The person you should be moved by is that kid Ye Feng... At that time, I had no idea where that kid got the courage to forcefully rescue you..."
"And he actually managed to remove the blood curse from your body... The condition of the blood curse at the time, even if Ling Xi and I had worked together... it wouldn't have been that easy!" Leng Yue said.
After speaking, Leng Yue looked towards Ye Feng's tent.
"Ye Feng..."
Upon Leng Yue's mention, Qiao Ying's face instantly flushed red.
This was because the way Ye Feng removed the blood curse from her was by directly kissing her lips and drawing the curse out...
"Little girl, what naughty thoughts are you having? Your face is so red?"
At this moment, Leng Yue's teasing words pulled Qiao Ying back from her reverie.
"Ah!~"
Qiao Ying exclaimed, her face turning even redder.
"I... I didn't... Sister Leng, then what was the other reason you came to Brad Base?"
With a red face, Qiao Ying quickly changed the subject.
"Here!"
Leng Yue raised an eyebrow and looked at Ling Xi beside her.
"It's another King!"
Ling Xi spoke while looking in the direction of a burning bonfire, which was where Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao's tent was located.
"Another King? You found another King?"
Qiao Ying was very surprised.
"It's a long story!"
Ling Xi took a deep breath, her face full of memories. "I did happen to detect the trace of a King before!"
"At that time, I was fighting a Cerberus replica. Suddenly, the sensing array on my Angelic Blade activated and turned to fly away on its own!"
"Because of this, I almost died at the hands of the Cerberus replica... I was entangled with the Cerberus replica for days and nights... Later, by chance, Ye Feng saved me..."
As she spoke, Ling Xi smiled nostalgically.
"The sensing array activated? Was it the sensing array set up by the Queen back then?"
Qiao Ying picked up the conversation, her expression quite agitated.
"Yes!"
Ling Xi nodded. "According to what the Queen said back then, my Angelic Blade should have flown in the direction of another King."
"I was quite injured at the time... After my injuries healed and my angelic power recovered, I quickly rushed to the place where the Angelic Blade had been summoned, a place called Green God Town..."
"Oh, no, it should be called Ye Feng Town now!"
"This Ye Feng Town was initially called Maple Leaf Town, because of the maple trees in the town. When autumn came, the maple leaves turned red, incredibly beautiful... especially under the mutual reflection of the morning and evening glow, it was like a fairyland... Later, goblins appeared..."
"I spent a lot of time investigating everyone in Ye Feng Town, from the dying elderly to newborns... but I found nothing. Not a single person even remotely resembled a King or reacted to angelic power..."
"Finally... I met up with Leng, and we came to investigate the last possibility..."
After speaking, Ling Xi looked with a sigh at the tent where Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao were in the distance.
