Chapter 159 - 159 A Perfect Infiltration
Big Black Peak.
At a corner, a black rock suddenly shook and made a soft sound. Soon, it fell silent again, as if nothing had happened.
No one knew that a few figures had already crawled forward and quietly approached the vicinity of Big Black Peak.
“It’s indeed very strange.”
The Xuanwu Emperor, Mo Lianque, looked around with a trace of doubt in his eyes, “Logically speaking, even if Ying Chengpeng intentionally concealed the identity of his incarnation to prevent others from making the connection, this Ever-changing Demon Wolf is still a demon beast lord after all, yet the place it resides in is so barren…”
This really did not make much sense.
Generally speaking, the more one wanted to hide one’s identity, the more one had to integrate into the environment and act no different from the other living beings around, so that others could not see any abnormality.
As for the Ever-changing Demon Wolf, it was not from a weak race. Instead, it was a famous bloodthirsty predator!
Being such an extremely aggressive demon beast, the Ever-changing Demon Wolf had killed countless living beings!
If one were to say that the Ever-changing Demon Wolf had suddenly seen through life and found such a desolate place to enjoy its remaining days… Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Mo Lianque definitely did not believe it.
—Do you think everyone is like Sect Master Feng?
“He snatched my territory before.” Qing Lin said as she puffed up her cheeks.
“But he did not continue to expand. Instead, he only symbolically plundered for a while, as if he was showing off how imposing he is. Then, he went into hiding again.” Mo Lianque shook his head, his expression becoming more and more solemn. “I keep feeling that something is wrong. Can it be that my feelings are wrong?”
“It’s not that Your Majesty is wrong, but Your Majesty is too inexperienced.”
Do you know the art of speaking?
Feng Xia’s voice drifted over from the side, causing Mo Lianque to pause slightly. He looked a little unhappy. “Sect Master Feng, what do you mean?”
Feng Xia wanted to exhale slowly, his eyes revealing a trace of seriousness. He looked at the ground beneath his feet, then at the girl in the blue dress beside him. Zhu Youniang quickly nodded lightly. “That’s right, it seems to be the same type of stone.”
Feng Xia nodded in understanding.
Before coming here, he had only heard Qing Lin mention the general situation at Big Black Peak.
Therefore, he did not expect to see such familiar stones when he arrived at Big Black Peak!
Back when he was in the Ancient Forsaken Land, he had tried to find a way out more than once, but in the end, he was always stopped by a vast bottomless abyss.
The entire Ancient Forsaken Land was an isolated island surrounded by a black abyss!
The type of stone on the cliffs next to the bottomless abyss was the same type as what he saw in front of him on Big Black Peak.
At first, Feng Xia suspected that he might have remembered wrongly. However, after obtaining confirmation from Zhu Youniang, he had to accept this fact.
Zhu Youniang had lived in the Ancient Forsaken Land far longer than him, so her understanding of the place naturally far exceeded his. If even Zhu Youniang confirmed that the two places had the same type of stone, the possibility of him making a mistake was extremely low.
“Since I came to the outside world, I have not seen the black stone found in the Ancient Forsaken Land, or even heard of it. Yet the stone on Big Black Peak is the same. Is it just a coincidence, or is there some other factor…”
Countless thoughts flashed through Feng Xia’s mind.
Finally, he came to a conclusion.
I do not know either!
“Everyone, be careful. There’s something special about these black rocks on Big Black Peak. The Ever-changing Demon Wolf might have chosen this place for these things…”
Feng Xia thought for a moment and reminded everyone.
Mo Lianque felt resigned, but he could only nod and agree.
After all, when Feng Xia rushed over, he noticed that this young Sect Master’s cultivation had quietly returned to the Primal Core Realm. If he had to use a phrase to describe the situation, then it was… he could not win, he really could not win.
You have a big fist, so you have a point.jpg
“Speaking of which, Sect Master Feng repeatedly destroys his own cultivation. What exactly is he looking for?” A trace of doubt appeared in Mo Lianque’s heart.
Not long after, the group of people was blocked by demon beasts.
It was a group of small grayish-black birds, each only half the size of a palm. They floated in the air in groups, buzzing like bees.
“Shadow Sparrow… It’s a strange bird that lives in the shadows,” Mo Lianque whispered to Feng Xia with an unhappy expression. “Sect Master Feng, your illusion has covered our figures, but we still exist. It’s just that we can’t be seen. And the Shadow Sparrow’s innate ability allows it to travel freely in the shadows…”
Even without Mo Lianque’s explanation, Feng Xia already knew what was going on.
Currently, his illusion technique was indeed perfect and had not been deciphered by any demon beasts yet.
However, the Shadow Sparrow’s extremely special innate ability allowed it to sense their hidden shadows even though it could not see them!
Simply put, he used illusions to hide himself, but was still discovered by infrared surveillance…
“To use such a strange bird as the Shadow Sparrow as a surveillance measure, that Ever-changing Demon Wolf must have a big secret!” Mo Lianque did not look well. “I’m afraid it won’t be long before the Ever-changing Demon Wolf discovers our whereabouts…”
The reason why these Shadow Sparrows were still here might be because they had discovered some abnormality around this area.
After all, although the Shadow Sparrow’s innate ability was magical, it was not very intelligent.
From the moment they discovered the abnormality to the moment when they reacted and reported it to the Ever-changing Demon Wolf, it would need to take some time.
“No, we haven’t been discovered yet!”
However, in the next second, Feng Xia whispered beside him and then suddenly attacked!
Everyone could clearly see that time seemed to have been frozen at this moment.
One after another, beautiful and resplendent lotuses bloomed from within the depths of Feng Xia’s eyes. They floated through the void and the primeval atmosphere, slowly landing towards the grayish-black birds.
The lotuses rotated with an unbelievable power, causing people to be in a daze.
Primeval Green Lotus!
Crash—
In the next moment, the sound of water droplets shattering, which were even softer than the sound of breathing, quietly entered everyone’s ears.
The flock of Shadow Sparrows suddenly froze. Then, like salted fish that had lost their souls, they fell from the sky one after another. However, before they reached the ground, they became wrapped in white silk and fell into Zhu Youniang’s hands.
“I’ve never eaten such little birds before!”
For a moment, the girl could not hold back her wide smile. “Looks like I can eat them for a long time when we get back!”
Feng Xia slowly exhaled and smiled nonchalantly. “Your Majesty, my illusion technique is perfect. Look, these Shadow Sparrows don’t even notice our existence.”
Mo Lianque: “…”
…
