"Ye Feng?" Compared to Cheng Xiaofeng's shocked expression, the other disciples of Golden Cloud Palace remained relatively calm, as they had already guessed Ye Feng's identity. At this moment, their gazes involuntarily turned towards Cheng Xiaofeng, and their faces showed signs of embarrassment.
Ye Feng was their savior, while Cheng Xiaofeng was their senior brother. If a dispute arose between the two at this moment, they wouldn't know whom to support.
Cheng Xiaofeng never expected that Ye Feng, whom he once hated deeply, would suddenly become a savior for him and his junior brothers.
The young man before him appeared quite young, yet his cultivation was even higher than Cheng Xiaofeng's, having reached the Ninth Level of Yuanwu Realm. Moreover, this person had extensive combat experience and was ruthless in action, far from being a novice.
"Hey, you know me?" Ye Feng was also quite surprised. Although his name was not unfamiliar among the disciples of Northern Border Nine Sects due to previous incidents, Cheng Xiaofeng's reaction seemed too unusual.
"Brother Ye's name is known to all disciples of Nine Sects. I just didn't expect Brother Ye to appear in such a place and with such high cultivation." Cheng Xiaofeng realized his gaffe and quickly smiled.
"Not at all; it's just a bit of luck and the favor of several seniors in our sect that allowed me to reach the Ninth Layer." Ye Feng waved his hand dismissively.
Although Cheng Xiaofeng's change in demeanor seemed somewhat abnormal, Ye Feng didn't take it too seriously. After all, it was not surprising that his sudden appearance would shock the other party.
Seeing that the two did not suddenly fall out, the disciples of Golden Cloud Palace secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Feng's strength was unfathomable; even with numbers on their side, they might not have any chance of winning, especially since they did not want to be enemies with Ye Feng at all.
As Cheng Xiaofeng sat cross-legged on the ground, quickly recovering his Vital Energy by consuming several pills, he said to Ye Feng, "It seems Brother Ye is also like me, using the secret treasure map distributed by our sect to arrive here. However, I admire your courage for coming alone!"
"Secret treasure map?" Ye Feng's heart sank as he realized the other party's purpose for coming here. However, he truly had not obtained any treasure map; it was purely by coincidence that he stumbled upon this place while searching for Tianyi Daoist.
"I didn't expect this place to be so dangerous," Ye Feng said with a wry smile. "But even if I wanted to invite my fellow brothers from the sect to come along, I doubt anyone would agree. The disciples sent by our Dragon Tiger Sect for the Qiu Yang Secret Realm trial have already split into two factions. One faction has allied with Fengyu Holy Institute and Flowing Cloud Villa to slaughter disciples from Nine Sects outside. I came here alone out of necessity for survival!"
Cheng Xiaofeng had previously interacted with Ning Ruoxue and already knew the ins and outs of this matter. However, since Ye Feng was unaware of this, he elaborated on the situation outside in great detail to Cheng Xiaofeng.
The other disciples of the Golden Cloud Palace lowered their heads, lost in thought. Cheng Xiaofeng did not interrupt Ye Feng but waited until Ye Feng finished speaking before nodding and saying, "We have encountered your sect's Sister Ning before and have heard about this matter. The Fengyu Holy Institute and Flowing Cloud Villa have joined forces, making them too powerful for us to handle right now. Since we are already here, let's first uncover the hidden treasures in this place. Perhaps with these treasures, we will have the means to compete with them!"
"You've seen Sister Ning? Where is she now? It's so dangerous outside; why isn't she with you?" Ye Feng was startled upon hearing this. Knowing that they had met Ning Ruoxue made him concerned, and he inquired about her current situation.
"Hmph, since you care so much about Sister Ning, why did you leave her behind?" Cheng Xiaofeng felt a pang of jealousy and silently cursed but maintained a smile on his face. "She is doing well; she has united dozens of disciples from the Six Sects. It won't be easy for the Fengyu Holy Institute to capture her, so Brother Ye need not worry too much."
Ye Feng pondered for a moment and nodded.
It seemed that Ning Ruoxue had successfully implemented her plan, escaping from the pursuit of the Fengyu Holy Institute and Flowing Cloud Villa while timely spreading the news to save many disciples. This way, Prince Ning Zhao Jieli's scheme would be difficult to succeed. He just needed to be more cautious and wait for Xiao Bing and Blood Demon Wolf to return with news. Once he cultivated his Immortal Path skills to the Refining Qi Mid-Stage, he could meet up with Ning Ruoxue and lead the Six Sects disciples in a decisive battle against the Fengyu Holy Institute.
As long as his Immortal Path cultivation reached the Refining Qi Mid-Stage, those from the Fengyu Holy Institute would naturally be no match for him. However, if Xiao Bing and Blood Demon Wolf managed to get consent from the other two magical beasts but couldn't find him upon returning, it would be troublesome.
"This place is quite dangerous. Brother Ye, since you've come here, why don't we join forces? After obtaining the hidden treasures here, we can split them evenly," Cheng Xiaofeng noticed that Ye Feng seemed hesitant and felt a bit anxious. They had just arrived at the outskirts of the treasure when they encountered a troublesome opponent like the Flying Wing Serpent. If they continued deeper, there might be even more terrifying beasts waiting for them.
Without Ye Feng's help, Cheng Xiaofeng truly lacked confidence in searching for the hidden treasures.
Cheng Xiaofeng's invitation left Ye Feng momentarily unsure of how to decide. If there were indeed treasures here and he missed out on them, it would be quite a pity.
"I wonder how things are going with Xiao Bing. Even if I get consent from those two magical beasts, I don't need to rush into refining Spirit Energy right away. After all, the seal of the Ancient Demon Lord won't be easily lifted anytime soon. It’s better to see what treasures are here first."
After weighing his options, Ye Feng agreed with Cheng Xiaofeng's perspective.
"Ha ha! That's great! With Brother Ye's help, I believe obtaining the treasures here will be a piece of cake!" Cheng Xiaofeng was overjoyed and patted Ye Feng on the shoulder in gratitude.
Having made up their minds to move forward, everyone tidied up after burying their fallen comrades and began searching for an exit.
The Open Cavern has two obvious exits. One is the entrance where Cheng Xiaofeng and the others came in, while the other is the path that Ye Feng took. The passage used by the disciples of Golden Cloud Palace to enter this place showed no abnormalities and was directly ruled out by Cheng Xiaofeng. As for the passage that Ye Feng traversed...
"There's no need to think about it. Although there are several branches in that passage, which lead who knows where, taking that route would definitely be a dead end..." Ye Feng said with a bitter smile as he briefly recounted the incident with the Gray-Shelled Beetle to everyone.
"Is there really such a Demon Insect in this world?" The disciples of Golden Cloud Palace turned pale; even someone as powerful as Ye Feng was helpless against those beetles, so they naturally dared not entertain any thoughts of their own.
After pondering for a moment, Cheng Xiaofeng pointed to the hole that was blasted open when the Demon Serpent Leader fled. "Since that route is a dead end, it seems we only have this option left."
Ye Feng frowned slightly and slowly walked to the entrance of the cave, looking into the dark and eerie passage leading underground. "That Fifth-Stage Winged Serpent is still hiding inside. If we take this secret path, we must be extremely cautious!"
Compared to the already encountered and somewhat understood Flying Wing Serpent, the disciples of Golden Cloud Palace were naturally more willing to take this detour. Everyone nodded in agreement.
Seeing that there were no objections from anyone, Cheng Xiaofeng led them to take down the torches from the wall and charged ahead.
With his powerful Soul Thought, Ye Feng felt no fear and closely followed behind Cheng Xiaofeng.
The cave was extremely narrow, barely allowing one person to pass through. Although Cheng Xiaofeng did not initially want to be at the front, since Ye Feng had already made quite an impression and left a heroic image in the minds of the disciples present, if he hesitated now, it might cause those who admired him to look down on him even more.
Ye Feng did not think too much about it. Although the torchlight illuminated the cave, due to the previous encounter with the Gray-Shelled Beetle, he remained extremely cautious, never overlooking any corner of the cave.
Fortunately, their luck held out; they encountered no trouble along the way, only occasionally spotting a few low-level Vampire Bats, which were easily dispatched by Cheng Xiaofeng.
About half an hour later, the passage gradually widened, and faint sounds of flowing water could be heard ahead.
"There’s an underground stream. Everyone be careful not to let those beasts launch a surprise attack!" Ye Feng promptly reminded them.
At this moment, the passage was wide enough for four or five people to stand in a row. Ye Feng instinctively slowed his pace, allowing the disciples of Golden Cloud Palace to gather together while he stayed behind, using Soul Thought to scout the surroundings.
"There is an open area ahead, with rugged rocks. It seems like a hidden place where the escaped serpent demons might be hiding!"
"An ambush? Brother Ye is being overly cautious. They were heavily injured before and are now like lost dogs, running as far as they can. Would they dare to set up an ambush against us?" Cheng Xiaofeng chuckled lightly, not taking Ye Feng's words seriously.
As soon as he finished speaking, a white light flashed by at incredible speed, heading straight for Cheng Xiaofeng, who was standing at the front.
"Be careful!" Ye Feng's pupils constricted. With a swift motion, he sent a dark red blood beam towards the white light.
"Whoosh!" The Blood Pattern Needle was incredibly precise, shooting directly into the white light just three inches away. Immediately, a wailing roar sounded out as the white light revealed its form—it was the Fourth-Stage Winged Serpent that had escaped earlier.
This serpent had been hiding behind a large rock not far away. Cheng Xiaofeng turned around, facing the rock, which was indeed the perfect moment for an ambush. Fortunately, Ye Feng had sensed it in advance and used the Blood Pattern Needle to confront it, easily killing the Fourth-Stage Winged Serpent.
"Cheng Shixiong, are you alright?" A disciple of Golden Cloud Palace exclaimed in surprise, quickly picking up their weapons and standing guard around Cheng Xiaofeng.
"I... I'm fine!" Cheng Xiaofeng's face turned pale as he secretly nodded to Ye Feng in the distance, feeling extremely frustrated as he drew his Mysterious Gold Sword from its sheath.
