Ahead.
It was as if a hole had been torn open in the void, emitting a seven-colored light from within.
Subsequently, the people of the Heavenly Nether Holy Land entered the Heavenly Nether Secret Realm one after another.
With a flash of light.
Xu Fengqiu felt a tremendous change in the surrounding aura.
Then, Xu Fengqiu opened his eyes.
Surrounding him was a desolate wilderness that seemed unremarkable.
Not far away was a forest, and in front of the forest flowed a small stream.
Behind him stood a statue that had already turned into ruins.
It was impossible to tell what it used to be.
Xu Fengqiu, Ye Lingyou, Lin Tianyi, and the others from the Heavenly Nether Holy Land were all present.
A strong figure from the Heavenly Nether Holy Land said, "From now on, disperse and seek out heavenly treasures and opportunities. The areas nearby have already been explored by the Heavenly Nether Holy Land. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the Heavenly Nether Secret Realm. What you obtain depends on your own luck and abilities."
The crowd nodded.
"However, you must be careful. The Heavenly Nether Secret Realm is a small world. Many demon beasts that were originally here have grown into extremely terrifying existences over tens of thousands of years. Some have even developed into clans, with a scale no smaller than some demon races in the outside world."
"Although they dare not do anything rashly, as they are worried that the Heavenly Nether Holy Land will invade again in three years, you must still be careful. There are many demon emperors at the Immortal Emperor level here. I have even seen a demon emperor at the fifth level."
The crowd nodded, "Understood!"
"In that case, disperse."
Ye Lingyou went directly to Xu Fengqiu's side.
"Junior Brother Xu, why don't we travel together for now? We can take care of each other."
How could Xu Fengqiu not know Ye Lingyou's intentions?
She had already colluded with Elder Shen.
Soon, Elder Shen would pretend to be a powerful demon clan expert from within the Heavenly Nether Secret Realm and attack Ye Lingyou.
Then, he would give Xu Fengqiu the opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty.
Therefore, it was best for Ye Lingyou to travel with Xu Fengqiu.
This way, there would be no unexpected events.
"Alright," Xu Fengqiu nodded.
Ye Lingyou was overjoyed.
Great!
The first step of the plan had already been successful.
Then, the two of them walked in one direction.
Lin Tianyi clenched his fists secretly when he saw this scene.
Damn it!
Are Xu Fengqiu and Ye Lingyou's relationship really that good now?
You have to know that he, Lin Tianyi, had experienced life and death with Ye Lingyou before.
Now, Ye Lingyou doesn't pay much attention to him anymore.
"This should have been mine!"
Lin Tianyi clenched his fists tightly.
If it weren't for Xu Fengqiu's obstruction, Ye Lingyou's favorability towards him should have reached forty or fifty by now.
There were rewards at 20, 40, 60, and 80 favorability.
Perhaps he could have even reached 60 favorability by now.
"Just you wait."
Lin Tianyi then silently followed them.
He maintained a certain distance, not giving them too much room for suspicion.
He would just pretend that he, Lin Tianyi, was also walking in this direction.
Time slowly passed, and soon half a day had gone by.
Ye Lingyou said, "I've been here before. About a hundred miles in that direction is a relatively unfamiliar area."
Xu Fengqiu nodded and then glanced at Ye Lingyou.
"What are you looking at?" Ye Lingyou asked.
Xu Fengqiu deliberately teased, "I don't usually see Senior Sister Ye wearing skirts. Why are you wearing one in such a dangerous place?"
Ye Lingyou said, "I just like it, is there a problem?"
"No," Xu Fengqiu smiled and shook his head.
"Hmph, let's go. I feel that being with someone as lucky as you will definitely lead to good things."
Ye Lingyou also stated the reason why she was traveling with Xu Fengqiu.
Now, there was also a sense of rationality.
This made the ambush later seem even more real.
At this moment.
Elder Shen, who was not far away, was also concealing his presence along the way.
"Well, half a day has passed. There shouldn't be many people in this location. It's about time to make a move."
Elder Shen pondered.
He was also under a lot of pressure.
Xu Fengqiu's reputation was too resounding.
Even an eighth-level Immortal Emperor had died at his hands, dying inexplicably.
Elder Shen was actually quite worried that Xu Fengqiu would suddenly use some miraculous technique and instantly kill him.
Although the possibility was small.
He still had to be careful.
Then, Elder Shen took a Demon Breath Pill.
The aura he was now releasing was that of the demon race.
This was also very detailed.
Subsequently, Elder Shen approached according to the various Heavenly Nether Holy Land markings that Ye Lingyou had quietly left along the way.
At this moment.
Xu Fengqiu and Ye Lingyou continued to move forward together.
And Ye Lingyou's expression changed.
Elder Shen had already transmitted a message to her through his divine sense, telling her to be ready at any time.
Ye Lingyou then stopped.
"Junior Brother Xu."
"Hmm?"
Xu Fengqiu also stopped and looked at Ye Lingyou.
At the same time, he already knew that Elder Shen was ready.
"Have you eaten that fruit before?"
Ye Lingyou pointed to a fruit tree in the distance.
Xu Fengqiu shook his head.
"It's called Youhua Fruit. It's only found here and it's very delicious. I'll pick one for you to try."
Ye Lingyou then reached out her hand, and a fruit flew into her palm, which she then handed to Xu Fengqiu.
Xu Fengqiu took it, looking very serious as he peeled the skin.
And Ye Lingyou's attention was on the shadows.
In the shadows.
Elder Shen, who was disguised, lit up his eyes.
"Now is the time!"
Whoosh—
He struck Ye Lingyou with a palm at an unimaginable speed and with immense power.
This palm seemed very fast.
But it was all within their plan.
Logically speaking, Xu Fengqiu should have been able to strike in time to save Ye Lingyou.
The moment he felt that power, Ye Lingyou smiled in her heart.
It's starting, it's starting!
However, the next moment…
"Senior Sister Ye, be careful."
Whoosh—
Xu Fengqiu instantly flashed behind her.
And Elder Shen was already unable to withdraw his hand.
Bang—
This palm directly struck Xu Fengqiu's back.
Pfft—
Ye Lingyou only felt a warm current spray on her body.
At that moment, Ye Lingyou and Elder Shen were both dumbfounded.
"Damn it!"
Elder Shen shuddered in fright.
Then, he quickly sped away towards the horizon.
Hmm…
Xu Fengqiu should be fine.
He is Xu Fengqiu after all.
His medical skills are so high.
Although this palm landed firmly on Xu Fengqiu's back, it shouldn't have been in a vital spot, right?
Crap!
Something went wrong!
This is bad, this is bad.
And Ye Lingyou, hearing that muffled sound, coupled with the mouthful of blood that Xu Fengqiu spat out.
Her delicate body also trembled violently.
She quickly turned around, looked at Xu Fengqiu standing there, and looked at the blood flowing from the corner of Xu Fengqiu's mouth.
She was stunned in place.
This…
This wasn't the plot she had envisioned.
Normally, Xu Fengqiu's reaction should have been to condense his spiritual power at the fastest speed and directly block it with a palm.
He should have been able to react.
That way, no one would be injured, but Xu Fengqiu would have been a hero saving the beauty.
This was Ye Lingyou's plan.
But she never expected that Xu Fengqiu would use his own flesh to block it for her.
"Hey… hey…"
Ye Lingyou quickly supported Xu Fengqiu, her face paling.
