The quiet night gradually descended, and as the midnight light illuminated the entire Eastern Continent, the Sky Abyss Empire appeared calm and peaceful. In a town eighty miles away, the usual night patrols were being carried out by soldiers in armor, diligently fulfilling their duties, making the small village unusually serene.
In reality, there was a sense of restlessness in the air that had already begun to spread, but this aura could only be sensed by powerful martial artists.
In a house still lit by an oil lamp, Xie Tianyu and others gathered around Huang Tian, chattering about something. Their expressions shifted between seriousness and lightheartedness, occasionally breaking into knowing smiles. Listening closely revealed that they were discussing Ye Feng.
"According to your description, this kid is quite an interesting fellow. If he comes and isn't as cunning as you say, you might have to face some consequences!" The Middle-aged Strategist rarely smiled but made a teasing remark.
Lian'er covered her mouth and giggled, "Then Brother will definitely be punished. That guy will surely put on an innocent act!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Tianyu was taken aback and retorted, "You can't play like that! If he dares to change his demeanor, I won't let him off easily!"
Lian'er seemed to be enjoying herself and laughed again, "I’m afraid in the end, it will be you who gets pinned down!"
"You!" Considering their combined strengths, Xie Tianyu's chances of defeating Ye Feng were almost negligible. For a moment, he couldn't find the words and pointed at his junior sister, speechless.
Finally, it was Huang Tian who spoke up.
"Alright, alright. With you all acting like this, if our guest arrives later, we’ll scare them off. We need to show that we are not just a bunch of rabble. Since we've decided to cooperate, we must demonstrate our sincerity and confidence. We cannot underestimate ourselves or allow others to do so!"
As expected of a prince, his words immediately silenced everyone. Especially Xie Tianyu, who looked ashamed. However, glancing out at the moonlight, he wondered if Ye Feng had received the message; why was there still no response? Could it be that he had really changed his mind at the last minute?
Perhaps they were all thinking along the same lines. Huang Tian looked at him and calmly asked, "Is tonight the time you agreed upon with him?"
"Yes! I definitely wouldn't get that wrong!" Xie Tianyu replied with confusion.
Huang Tian tilted his head and after a moment of silence said, "It’s getting late; normally he should come if he intends to. If he doesn’t show up now, it can only mean that you’ve been played. However, according to what you said earlier, that possibility is very low. So I think..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he piqued everyone's curiosity. Xie Tianyu was the first unable to hold back and asked, "Prophet, what are you thinking?"
Facing their puzzled expressions, Huang Tian remained composed and suddenly smiled. "A guest from afar should reveal themselves soon. Since you've been listening for so long, you should have figured out that we are not bad people by now, right? Ye Feng?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a startled bird. Before the legendary Ye Feng truly appeared, Xie Tianyu and the others were already astonished beyond measure, their eyes wide open in disbelief as they looked at Huang Tian. Then, they shifted their gazes everywhere, half believing and half doubting the prophet's words.
This continued for about ten seconds, and within the small room, there were no other sounds. Not to mention Ye Feng; even the shadow of a mouse was nowhere to be seen! Xie Tianyu was the first to feel disappointed, sighing, "It seems that guy really changed his mind. Damn it, I can't believe I trusted him so much!"
Lian'er also wore a disappointed expression, and the atmosphere among the group instantly turned gloomy. Only Huang Tian still had a beaming smile on his face, as if he firmly believed that his feelings were not wrong. Even more surprisingly, after a while, a sound indeed came from outside the room!
Before everyone could process this, Ye Feng entered uninvited, pushing open the door to reveal himself to everyone!
The crowd was momentarily stunned, then Xie Tianyu and Lian'er were the first to become excited, pointing at him and exclaiming, "That's him!"
Ye Feng felt awkward. After successfully breaking through to the late stage of Xuanwu Realm in a dilapidated temple outside the city, he had spent several Heavenly Origin Pills to help his Wolf Fang Puppet Beast achieve an unprecedented evolution! It was only after gaining strength at the Xuanwu Realm that he finally arrived.
However, upon reaching this small town, he did not rush to join them but cautiously stayed outside to listen for any movements inside. After confirming that this group posed no threat to him, he finally relaxed. But when Huang Tian revealed his whereabouts, he was still incredibly shocked!
Ye Feng had complete confidence in his ability to conceal his presence; unless someone surpassed him in realm, it would be impossible for him to be detected even at close range. Yet this prophet accurately discerned that he had arrived!
Just this alone gave Ye Feng a clearer understanding of the World-Walking Prophet; these individuals truly lived up to their title as representatives of various sects and were all extraordinary. However, when he entered the room and observed the stunningly beautiful man along with his early-stage Xuanwu Realm cultivation,
Ye Feng found it hard to associate such a handsome figure with someone who had just uncovered his situation. He felt somewhat stunned and embarrassed, a complex expression on his face. Little did he know that those from the Envoy Group who had never seen Ye Feng before were even more shocked! A sixteen-year-old at Xuanwu Realm could certainly stand out among many Core Disciples of various sects across the Eastern Continent; however, those at the late stage of Xuanwu Realm were indeed rare!
The Ye Feng before them showed no concern for his realm and exuded a powerful aura that made others wary and tremble slightly. The Middle-aged Strategist was the first to react; representing Huang Tian, he stepped forward and greeted him.
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. You must be Ye Feng?"
"That's right!" Ye Feng replied calmly... His gaze subtly scanned over the unfamiliar figures—four mysterious individuals wearing masks surrounding the beautiful man in the center. Noticing their unblinking eyes and the faint presence of Martial Saint Realm energy emanating from them, he understood that these individuals were far from ordinary Martial Saints!
Next came introductions among everyone. Once they had a basic understanding of each other's identities, Ye Feng's expression relaxed somewhat; at least he no longer felt as tense as before. This Qin Empire Envoy Group was somewhat different from what he had imagined; yet the standout was still that prophet!
There was nothing particularly special about the others. Once everyone got to know each other, Xie Tianyu proactively approached him, somewhat complaining, “Next time, just show up directly. Don’t play hide and seek like this. It makes it hard for me to be the middleman!”
Ye Feng understood what he meant and was about to say something when Huang Tian suddenly smiled and said, “No worries. It’s only natural to be cautious during a first meeting. I can understand Leaf Young Friend's feelings. Since everyone is being open, I might as well speak frankly. I hope Leaf Young Friend won’t take offense!”
Upon hearing this, Xie Tianyu wisely stepped aside. With the prince's words, it would be inappropriate for him to say more!
Ye Feng squinted his eyes, sensing the core of this group. The leadership displayed by Xie Tianyu and that strategist exceeded his expectations. He realized he knew very little about this prophet from the Qin Yuan Empire; in fact, he had never even heard of the legendary prince.
To be honest, he felt somewhat ignorant. Even now, he was at a loss for how to engage in conversation with this prophet. His main purpose for being here tonight was due to Xie Tianyu's invitation to discuss visiting the emperor in the royal city tomorrow and to assess the situation.
He aimed to help the Qin Empire's Envoy Group divert attention so that Xie Tianyu could slip away and gather intelligence on the Sky Abyss Empire. This mission was akin to that of a spy; it was inherently challenging and carried certain risks.
However, compared to his plan to assassinate the princess, this task seemed almost straightforward. He just didn’t know how to tell them that their greatest danger on this trip came from the Alfalfa Princess; killing her was essential to resolving the prophet’s biggest crisis during this journey!
Thinking of this, Ye Feng gave Huang Tian a friendly bow and calmly said, “You flatter me. Our meeting is merely a coincidence where we all seek our own benefits. Since I have received favors from Xie Tianyu, I naturally understand what I should do; helping you is my duty!”
He didn’t rush to reveal his intentions right away; Ye Feng’s approach was well-considered. He didn’t want everyone to think he was using the Envoy Group as a weapon against his enemies.
However, who was Huang Tian? He immediately sensed that Ye Feng was hiding something from everyone. Without revealing anything, he waved his hand, a gesture that left Xie Tianyu and the others puzzled.
Only the Middle-aged Strategist understood his master’s intention. He approached Lian'er and whispered something in her ear. Then, Xie Tianyu and Lian'er left the room with puzzled expressions, followed by the strategist himself!
As they departed, he didn’t forget to give a knowing glance to the four mysterious guards, implying they should protect their master well!
Ye Feng observed these actions with a start; it seemed he had underestimated this prophet. He hadn’t expected him to discern that there were hidden meanings in his words!
Once everything settled down, Huang Tian smiled warmly again and made an even bolder decision.
“You all may leave now; I have some private matters I wish to discuss with this Leaf Young Friend!”
Upon hearing this, the four guards were taken aback, their eyes revealing expressions of disbelief. They understood very well that their master would never allow them to leave his side, no matter the time or place. This was because the prince, who had descended from the altar, was not capable of handling real danger with his initial level of Martial Saint.
Over the years, it was thanks to the powerful and secretive cooperation of these four guards that they had helped the prince avert one crisis after another. Therefore, unless it was for something like using the restroom, they had to take turns guarding him even while he slept.
But now, facing an unknown Ye Feng, their master actually wanted them to leave?
This decision was not just bold; it was downright insane!
The four guards hesitated, unsure of what to do. They remained silent throughout, their expressions clearly showing their difficulty.
Huang Tian noticed their prolonged inaction and finally revealed a hint of anger, though it was a restrained expression. His gaze flashed coldly as he said, "Did you not understand my words?"
It felt so cold... In just a moment's pause, the four guards gritted their teeth and dared not linger any longer. They all exited the room, casting a glance at Ye Feng as they left. The scrutiny and warning in their eyes were unmistakable! If Ye Feng dared to act disrespectfully...
Even if they had to chase him to the ends of the earth, they would not let him go!
Even Ye Feng could sense a terrifying killing intent approaching... These Martial Saints were no joke!
