Ye Feng was actually worried about one thing in his heart: Ning Ruoxue. In the images created by Carefree Master earlier, Ning Ruoxue was covered in blood, and it was clear that she had gone through a fierce battle. Unfortunately, Ye Feng was not by her side at that moment and could do nothing to help her.
"You look troubled; you must be worried about Ning Ruoxue. I mean, come on, you're a grown man. Is it really necessary to be so sentimental?" Leiting said with a chuckle.
After spending the last two days together, she had somewhat figured out Ye Feng's temperament. He was ruthless towards his enemies but very kind to his friends. This kind of personality was good; he didn't provoke others easily, but when others provoked him, his ruthless side would show.
"You don’t care about her because you’re not close to her. She and I are from the same sect, so naturally, I worry about her safety!" Ye Feng replied calmly.
"Who exactly are you? You can't just keep saying your name like that!"
Ye Feng thought for a moment and then said without hesitation, "My name is Ye Feng!"
Leiting suddenly stopped in her tracks, looking incredulous. Then she quickly ran up to Ye Feng and examined him from top to bottom and then from bottom to top.
"I mean, is it really necessary to act like this? I'm not that impressive!" Ye Feng said helplessly.
"No, no! Are you really Ye Feng? The disciple that many from Dragon Tiger Sect call useless?" Leiting asked with disbelief. "I've seen a portrait of Ye Feng, and you look nothing like it. Don’t tell me you’re using some disguise!"
Ye Feng felt helpless; this girl was quite talkative. He pushed Leiting away and said irritably, "If you don't want to believe it, that's fine!"
Suddenly, as if recalling something, he asked curiously, "Is your information really that good? You've even seen my portrait?"
"Of course! But don’t misunderstand; I didn’t specifically look for your portrait. I just happened to see it. After all, you don’t have anything particularly remarkable about you. But I didn’t expect you to endure so well; no one knows your cultivation has reached such a level. I think among the younger generation of Dragon Tiger Sect, you might already be the strongest."
Ye Feng chuckled but did not respond!
He didn’t know how to continue the conversation after such a statement. Perhaps he was indeed one of the strongest among the younger generation, but on this continent filled with powerful individuals, who could guarantee that there weren’t other formidable people hidden within Dragon Tiger Sect?
"What should we do next?" Leiting asked hesitantly.
Ye Feng felt very confused at this moment. Logically speaking, they should be fully focused on searching for resources within the Silver Moon Secret Realm to secure a good ranking for the Dragon Tiger Sect. However, the reality was quite different; there were too many things they needed to do, and it was not yet the time to look for resources.
Suddenly, he thought that there might be other people in the Silver Moon Secret Realm. With this thought in mind, Ye Feng decisively said, "Let's go to the Wild Mountains; we might encounter something interesting!"
The so-called Wild Mountains were actually the most expansive mountain range within the Silver Moon Secret Realm, encompassing all other mountains. Within the Autumn Sun Secret Realm, there was a particularly tall and wide mountain range known as the Wild Mountains. All other mountains extended from this range, whether it was the cave that Carefree Master had asked Ye Feng to find or other locations, they all descended from the Wild Mountains.
Ye Feng primarily wanted to check out the mountain range in the northwest. This mountain range was slightly east of the Wild Mountains. When Leiting heard Ye Feng mention the Wild Mountains, she paused for a moment, her lips slightly parted as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Say whatever you want; it doesn't matter!"
Leiting replied softly, "That place is very dangerous. Didn't you receive any news before the Nine Sects Trial that the Wild Mountains are off-limits?"
Ye Feng gazed into the distance and said, "If we can't go anywhere, then why did we come here?"
In fact, within the Wild Mountains, there were not only numerous precious herbs but also countless magical beasts. This area was much larger than the Silver Moon Secret Realm of Ye Feng's family and was equally more dangerous! No one could predict what would happen in the next moment!
In Ye Feng's view, neither he nor Leiting could be considered the strongest individuals in this Silver Moon Secret Realm. He vaguely sensed that there was a tremendous secret hidden within this Qiu Yang Secret Realm!
Leiting remained silent throughout their journey, simply following behind Ye Feng slowly.
At this moment, she also had no strong opinions because Ye Feng was right; everything was gradually developing in a direction they hadn't anticipated.
Along the way, they encountered many magical beasts of various sizes, but they were all low-level beasts. Ye Feng had no intention of killing these low-level creatures!
"I suddenly thought of a question: why didn't you kill that Heavenly Lion Beast back then? You know that a Fifth-Grade Beast's inner core can fetch a good price in the market!"
Ye Feng replied with dissatisfaction, "Every creature has its own spirit; if I can avoid killing it, I will. Besides, how long does it take for a Fifth Stage Heavenly Lion Beast to cultivate to such a level? Why extinguish such a life? Perhaps soon it will advance to Sixth Rank. For magical beasts, improving their cultivation is not easy; it's not like us humans!"
Leiting completely disagreed with his viewpoint and immediately countered, "You can't say that! Magical beasts are superior from birth compared to us humans. Even if it's a high-level beast, so what? It's just an animal after all. Your mindset is not good and needs serious correction!"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Don't think about trying to persuade me. I won't impose my mindset on you; it's just that our thoughts are different. However, in front of me, it's best not to recklessly kill any beasts. Remember that!"
Leiting nodded, feeling for the first time that the man before her was somewhat sentimental. After all, they were just beasts; why take it so seriously?
What she didn't know was that Ye Feng came from another world and had practiced Buddhism's Supreme Technique during his previous cultivation.
The idea of equality among all beings was something Ye Feng had once strongly agreed with. Although he had now arrived in a world where strength was paramount, his mindset had not changed overnight.
Unknowingly, the two of them quickly reached the mountain that Ye Feng aimed to enter.
As they approached the mountain range, Ye Feng felt a powerful pressure coming towards them, but it vanished in an instant.
"Consider that a warning," Leiting said helplessly as she sensed the pressure.
"You seem to know someone is here?" Ye Feng turned back and asked her.
Leiting nodded and replied, "Carefree Master is my mentor. He has always told me that there is a powerful expert hidden within this Qiu Yang Secret Realm, along with an ancient divine beast. He advised me to be cautious. I think the super expert he mentioned is the owner of this pressure."
Ye Feng nodded and said, "That should be the case. However, it seems they mean us no harm; it's just a warning to keep our distance. But since we are already here, how could we just leave? Leiting, are you afraid? If you are, don't follow me."
"What are you talking about?" Leiting immediately got angry. "If you're not scared, why would I be? That's ridiculous; let's just move forward."
Ye Feng nodded. Although Leiting said that, she still felt a bit nervous as they continued forward, especially when encountering beasts; her anxiety heightened.
Suddenly, a white light appeared ahead, forming a transparent barrier that blocked their path.
Ye Feng and Leiting stopped in their tracks and did not proceed any further.
"Senior, we have come seeking your assistance and mean no harm. I hope you understand!" Ye Feng shouted towards the distance.
However, after he finished speaking, there was no response for quite some time, and no one seemed to answer.
Yet the protective barrier in front of them remained intact, and the power emanating from within felt increasingly strong.
Ye Feng furrowed his brows slightly, staring at the barrier. After observing it for a long while, he helplessly said, "Neither of us has the strength to break through this barrier. It seems that the person inside is very powerful; Carefree Master was absolutely right!"
At that moment, Leiting thought for a moment and said, "Is the senior perhaps Tianyi Daoist? I am a disciple of Carefree Master. My master sent me to seek an audience with you regarding an important matter. I wonder if you would be willing to meet with us?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng remained silent, quietly standing aside and observing the situation.
He had considered revealing Carefree Master's name, but he only had a fleeting acquaintance with Carefree Master. Whether the other party would believe him was still a question. Moreover, it seemed that Leiting already knew this person was inside. Perhaps what Carefree Master wanted him to find was the same as what Leiting was looking for now. If that were the case, he was reluctant to continue assisting Carefree Master.
Leiting's words proved to be effective; soon a deep voice came from afar: "You say you are a disciple of Carefree Master. What evidence do you have?"
Leiting replied calmly, "Just the fact that I can call out your name is enough. How many people in this world know your name? If you still do not wish to believe me, I have no way to prove my identity as a disciple of Carefree Master!"
After this statement, there was a long silence from the other side before slowly responding, "Alright, you may enter. However, that man will stay outside!"
