"Humans?" Yu Jiao'er looked at Du Huanfeng's group curiously.
"He should have a high status. The people around him are all the peak Monarch Profound Realm experts." Yu Rongxi said with a frown.
"He's Young Master of the Myriad Pill Palace." Jin Yang said solemnly. Clearly, this wasn't the first time he had encountered Du Huanfeng.
Yu Rongxi was surprised and calmly observed the newcomers.
On the side, Mu Qiuxue's expression changed drastically. Her strength hadn't yet fully recovered. It was almost impossible for her to go against Du Huanfeng.
She subconsciously looked toward Yun Lintian and waited for his opinion.
Meanwhile, Tianqi Junlai merely glanced at Du Huanfeng and asked. "What brings you here?"
"Of course, Patriarch Tianqi should know my purpose in coming to this continent. I'm here to ask for the Misty Token." Du Huanfeng landed on the platform and replied.
He turned around to face Yun Lintian and flashed a harmless smile. "This little brother, why don't you sell the token to me? I heard that your clan urgently needs resources. You can state your price, and I will meet it. How about it?"
Yun Lintian experienced Du Huanfeng's poor acting skills several times before. He didn't feel anything strange about this man's arrogant behavior.
He smiled faintly and said. "I've long heard about Young Master Du's esteemed name countless times when I traveled around the world back then. I didn't expect to meet you here. It's truly my honor."
Du Huanfeng laughed slightly. "What esteemed name? I am nothing but an ordinary man." As he spoke, his eyes flashed with a strange light. It was as though he thought of something.
"However, I am sorry to reject Young Master Du's proposal. This token is important to me." Yun Lintian politely rejected.
Du Huanfeng frowned slightly and said. "Let me tell you something. I had been to the Misty Forest before the white mist appeared. There are indeed many precious materials in that place, but they aren't something rare. I can give you several times more than that. Little brother doesn't have to take a risk going by yourself."
He paused for a moment and continued. "Besides, who knows how it looks like after the mist appeared? There might be countless dangers waiting for you. Why don't you just sell it to me?"
Yun Lintian still insisted. "Everything Young Master Du said, I am well aware of it. As you said, no one knows what it looks like on the inside. I always believe that opportunities and dangers are always co-existing. That's why I have to see it myself."
Du Huanfeng's expression gradually fell. His eyes turned cold as he said. "Are you sure you don't want to sell it to me? You must think carefully about the consequence." His voice was full of threats.
The smile on Yun Lintian's face disappeared and was replaced with an indifferent expression. "Young Master Du, you can't force anyone to go against his will, right?"
"Hehe… Haha!" Du Huanfeng suddenly burst into laughter. "The way you speak is really similar to someone I know."
Everyone was puzzled by Du Huanfeng's sudden change in mood.
Hearing this, Yun Lintian seemed to think of something, and he quickly sent a sound transmission to Huoyun Yurou. "Senior, it seems my identity has been exposed. Please prepare for the battle. Senior doesn't have to worry about me. As long as I want to flee, no one can catch me. You should go according to the plan."
A cold glint flashed through Huoyun Yurou's eyes as she replied. "You should go straight to the forest. Leave this place to me."
Yun Lintian frowned slightly. This was different from the plan they had discussed before.
"When your identity is exposed, Tianqi Junlai will use this chance to summon his Sky Guards. With the addition of Du Huanfeng's people, it would be difficult for me to handle them alone. I know you are powerful, but your existence will hold me back, as I can't stop worrying about you." Huoyun Yurou explained further.
Yun Lintian's heart tensed up. He couldn't help blaming himself for being careless. Du Huanfeng's appearance was too sudden, disrupting his rhythm. However, there was nothing he could do right now. He couldn't possibly go against the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm experts by himself.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly. "Senior… You must hold on and wait for me. I'll definitely come back."
"I believe you." Huoyun Yurou replied softly. Her voice was filled with a rare tenderness for the first time.
Afterward, she quickly relayed messages to Jin Yang and Yu Rongxi, letting them prepare for the upcoming battle.
"Remember, no matter what happens next, we will talk about it after we succeed."
Huoyun Yurou's words were strange to Jin Yang and Yu Rongxi, but they didn't ask anything about it and quickly contacted their allies.
"Who are you talking about, Young Master Du?" Yun Lintian pretended to ask curiously.
"Of course, it's you, Mu Chen." Du Huanfeng stopped laughing and said with a faint smile. "Oh no, no, no. Mu Chen is your fake name. Why don't you introduce yourself to me again?"
"Mu Chen?" Tianqi Junlai and others were puzzled.
"Mu Chen? Who is that?" Yun Lintian had a confused look.
"Stop pretending. Although your acting skill is superb, I won't fall for it again." Du Huanfeng chuckled. He turned around to Tianqi Junlai and everyone. "All of you might be curious who is this Mu Chen I am talking about. First of all, I have something for everyone to see."
As he finished his sentence, four figures descended from the sky and landed on the platform.
Thud!
Two people were thrown onto the ground, and Yun Lintian's expression changed drastically because these two people were no other than Guchang and Fan, the exiled Crimson Ox clansmen Yun Lintian met when he first arrived on this continent.
On the stand, Zi Jinghu frowned slightly and said. "Aren't these two the descendants of the Crimson Ox Clan's previous patriarch?"
Du Huanfeng turned to Zi Jinghu and nodded. "That's right. They are Guchang and Fan, the former Crimson Ox Clan's royal bloodline." He paused for a moment and continued. "As for why I brought them here. I will show it to everyone now."
He walked toward Guchang and signaled his subordinate to wake the latter up.
Guchang gradually regained his consciousness and looked around in shock. "Where is this…?"
"This is the Nine Profound City. Don't you find these people familiar?" Du Huanfeng pointed at Tianqi Junlai and others.
