"What happened? Did you find out any news?" In the afternoon, Ye Feng had already woken up once. Seeing the Flying Spirit Lion watching over him, he felt it was unnecessary and sent it out to gather information about the Azure Thunder Sect and Taiyi Tower, after all, that was where he would be putting in a lot of effort next!
Now that the Flying Spirit Lion had rushed back so anxiously, he was naturally curious!
Yuxiu and the others were even more puzzled. It was unusual for the Flying Spirit Lion to show such a flustered demeanor; what could have happened to make it look like this?
The Flying Spirit Lion didn't rush to answer. Upon seeing the teapot on the table, it immediately ran over, picked it up, and gulped down all the water inside. The onlookers were speechless. After finishing, it let out a long breath and said, "I almost died from exhaustion! Ye Feng, your task is really taxing!"
"Stop with the useless chatter and get to the point. What did you find out? Is there any information about the Azure Thunder Sect, Taiyi Tower, Inner Sect, or Core Disciples?" Ye Feng asked directly without any preamble.
Only then did everyone realize that this creature had gone to do just that. However, they couldn't help but admire Ye Feng's foresight; being able to arrange for someone to investigate their opponents in such a short time was impressive, even if his strength was already unmatched.
The Flying Spirit Lion didn't keep them in suspense any longer and laughed, saying, "Actually, I didn't find out anything about their Inner Sect Disciples!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was immediately speechless. Why was it laughing if it hadn't found anything?
Yuxiu and the others were also exasperated; they had never seen someone so smug after failing a mission!
However, it seemed that the Flying Spirit Lion still had more to say. Noticing everyone's disapproving looks, it pouted and continued, "Although I couldn't uncover any secrets about those two Heavenly Level Sect Core Disciples, I do have some better news for you!"
"What is it?" Everyone's curiosity was piqued; could there be something better than this?
The Flying Spirit Lion smiled mysteriously and said cryptically, "According to reliable sources, the leaders of Azure Thunder Sect and Taiyi Tower have resolutely decided to forgo this competition after learning about your performance at Heavenly Mechanism Sect. They made it very clear that no matter how you Feng Ye provoke them or request a challenge, they will not respond to the Envoy Group's call to battle!"
"What?!" Now everyone was completely unsettled; this news was simply too shocking—no need to fight at all?
But Yuxiu and Lian'er still felt somewhat dissatisfied. They asked, "On what basis? The Envoy Group carries the tradition of generations; wherever the World Prophet goes, they must engage in battle. There's no reason for them to refuse! Previously, Heavenly Mechanism Sect also wanted to decline but ended up losing their temper due to our firm stance!"
This argument made sense; after all, if the other side could easily refuse a battle, then what would be the point of having the World Prophet at all?
The Sky-Soaring Spirit Lion has its own interpretation of this matter!
"They said that if your Envoy Group could get the Prophet to take action, they would naturally send their strongest young disciples to battle. However, unfortunately, your Prophet has unexpectedly passed away, so they have every reason not to fight. You can't just send a substitute and expect them to comply!"
Upon hearing this, Yuxiu and Lian'er were left speechless; it was indeed a 'lofty' excuse!
Even Ye Feng was at a loss for words. It seemed that the Azure Thunder Sect and Taiyi Tower had figured out that their disciples were no match for him, which was why they resorted to such shameless tactics. In contrast, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was much more straightforward!
"This, this, this cannot be allowed!" Yuxiu said with some indignation, clearly feeling that the other party was taking advantage of the situation, which he found hard to accept.
However, Lian'er expressed a different opinion!
"Advisor, I actually think this is quite good. At least it means we don't have to push Ye Feng into such arduous battles anymore, right?"
Yuxiu considered this but he wasn't the type to want Ye Feng to risk his life. He just felt that from the perspective of the Envoy Group, their mission was to gather information on the strongest young disciples from various sects. If they didn't engage in battle, how could they collect that information?
Feeling somewhat dejected, he said, "Lian'er, you know I'm not trying to rush Ye Feng into a fight. It's just that our Envoy Group has its own position to consider! Don't forget the mission and responsibilities we bear!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lian'er fell silent for a moment. Just as Ye Feng wanted to express that he had no issues with fighting, Lian'er suddenly spoke up again: "Times have changed; rules must change too. Moreover, what Azure Thunder Sect and Taiyi Tower said is also correct. Without a Prophet to present, they have every reason to refuse. They are clearly afraid of Ye Feng; no matter how we provoke them, they won't engage in battle. So what use is it for us to be so thick-skinned?"
Her argument made sense, leaving Yuxiu momentarily speechless. The atmosphere in the room became somewhat delicate, while Lian'er seemed to have more to say!
"Xie Tianyu has been captured. We didn't know before; it was one thing when we were negotiating with the Core Disciple of Heavenly Mechanism Sect. But now that we know about it, did you ever think about how dangerous it is for the Prophet to be alone in Princess Mansion? What if the Prophet gets discovered?"
"I admit the Prophet is powerful; I believe in him. But there are always exceptions. As the saying goes, 'Better safe than sorry.' The Prophet's strength is indeed formidable, but there are many strong individuals around that princess—two fists can't fight against four hands! What if something unexpected happens? What will we do then?"
Lian'er quickly articulated these points with remarkable logic. Yuxiu suddenly understood the gravity of the situation and immediately declared: "Alright! Cancel the upcoming arrangements; we will focus all our efforts on assisting the Prophet and rescuing Xie Tianyu!"
Ye Feng had been silent throughout this exchange. He could see that Lian'er was not only concerned about herself but more importantly worried about Xie Tianyu. In her view, Xie Tianyu's life was far more important than their mission; otherwise, she wouldn't have contradicted the advisor and spoken up like this!
Of course, if given a choice himself, he would prioritize rescuing Xie Tianyu as well. As for going against Azure Thunder Sect and Taiyi Tower? If possible, he would prefer to avoid it!
"Now, we must devise a plan and meet with the Prophet to hear their opinions. I have been to the Princess Mansion before, and it is not easy to infiltrate. Any mistake could lead us to a point of no return!" Yuxiu quickly began strategizing.
Lian'er furrowed her brow in thought as Ye Feng pondered for a moment before saying, "You and the strategist don't need to infiltrate. You will provide support from outside. Strategist, you just focus on laying out the plan, and Lian'er, prepare our escape route. I will sneak in with the Flying Spirit Lion and look for an opportunity!"
As soon as he said this, Yuxiu immediately agreed.
"Yes, that sounds good. With you and this Martial Saint, along with the Prophet, the combined strength of the three of you should be sufficient!" Yuxiu nodded affirmatively.
Lian'er seemed like she wanted to say something more, but Ye Feng stopped her.
"I know you are worried about Xie Tianyu, but I assure you that as long as he is alive, I will bring him out safely. If you come with us, we will have to divide our attention to take care of you, which would only be a burden. So, just wait for our news outside!"
Upon hearing this, Lian'er found herself at a loss for words.
The plan was quickly established. As Ye Feng suggested, they would first infiltrate to find Huang Tian. The strategist and Lian'er would remain outside to provide support at any time, while the Flying Spirit Lion would act as a scout for communication between the two groups. The main strength relied on Ye Feng and Huang Tian inside.
Once the simple plan was set, night was approaching. The visibility and atmosphere during dusk were most obstructed, making it the perfect time for infiltration.
Ye Feng and the Flying Spirit Lion wasted no time and quickly took action!
The Windward Inn was not far from the Princess Mansion, so they arrived at the side of the mansion without much effort. The tall palace walls did not hinder these two Martial Saints' infiltration; within moments of entering, they found a storage room and changed into servant attire!
Next was finding Huang Tian!
Releasing a wide-range search of divine consciousness would be the fastest method but also the most impractical since it would attract the attention of powerful individuals within the Princess Mansion. Therefore, Ye Feng and the Flying Spirit Lion could not use this method to locate Huang Tian!
However, there were other ways! First, Ye Feng and the Flying Spirit Lion locked onto each other's divine consciousness so that no matter where they dispersed to, they could find one another. Then they began releasing a small range of divine consciousness.
Only those powerful individuals within this divine consciousness could sense it. If it were experts from within the Princess Mansion, they would instantly retract their divine consciousness. Thus, even if an expert sensed something amiss, they ultimately wouldn't be able to uncover anything—perhaps just doubting their own sensitivity!
Using this method, the two wandered around inside the Princess Mansion several times until they finally found Huang Tian!
At this moment, Huang Tian was hiding deep in the backyard of the Princess Mansion, where Alfalfa's bedroom was located, and a dungeon had also been arranged there.
Huang Tian concealed himself with his profound cultivation. Fortunately, the princess and several powerful guards had gone to dine, so there were no stronger experts nearby. After Ye Feng found Huang Tian, he immediately summoned the Flying Spirit Lion. The two of them then confronted Huang Tian.
"How did you get here?" Huang Tian was taken aback upon seeing them. Ye Feng briefly explained the situation, and only then did Huang Tian come to his senses.
"Thank you for your hard work. The Heavenly Mechanism Sect is done, and there's no need to go to the Azure Thunder Sect or Taiyi Tower. Next, we will rescue Xie Tianyu and take care of Alfalfa. Our journey in the Sky Abyss Empire will come to an end, and I won't forget my promise to you!"
Huang Tian said this, and Ye Feng smiled in understanding.
Then, Huang Tian explained how to enter the dungeon. First, a token was required, which must be a gold medal personally granted by the princess! Huang Tian couldn't steal it because he sensed that there were at least three powerful experts around the princess.
"What do you plan to do?" Flying Spirit Lion asked.
Huang Tian thought for a moment and said, "The most foolish way would be to force our way in. With our strength, we could rescue Xie Tianyu in just ten seconds. The problem is that this would alert all the experts inside the Princess Mansion, making our escape difficult, not to mention being able to kill her!"
Upon hearing this, Flying Spirit Lion strangely smiled and said, "Let's do just that. As for your concerns, there's no need; currently in the Princess Mansion, there are only those three powerful experts you suspect. There isn't even a single Martial Saint among the others!"
