Chapter 1608: Chapter 1607: Wanxing Sect
The three of them stopped by a clear lake, and after confirming there was no one around, Qin Feng asked the little girl, "What exactly is going on? Are there villages in the Kunlun Mist Cloud?"
According to the introduction by the old man guarding Yun Mountain outside, his understanding was that this place should be a battlefield, with three major factions involved, and there couldn’t possibly be any villages for people to live in.
"It’s like this..."
The little girl began to tell her story.
Her name was Little White.
She was originally a resident of Mist Cloud Mountain, even ten thousand years ago.
But later, when catastrophe struck, those from the Heavenly Destiny Sect, Demon Suppression Hall, and others came here as outsiders to escape the disaster.
Because of that catastrophe, they all became residual souls.
The village here has always been preserved, and the reason it can remain is because of the Wanxing Sect.
The Wanxing Sect stands as a neutral force.
Each village is also part of the Wanxing Sect’s forces, responsible for growing immortal herbs and immortal elixirs for the Wanxing Sect, as well as forging some divine weapons and such.
They stay out of conflict with the Demon Suppression Hall and Heavenly Destiny Sect.
Nor do they compete for the top position at Mist Cloud Mountain.
Originally, this balance was maintained, but recently a large number of people have flocked to Mist Cloud Mountain, all joining the Heavenly Destiny Sect, breaking the balance.
Heavenly Destiny Sect’s strength increased greatly, and they ignored the neutrality of the Wanxing Sect.
Particularly the Soul-Devouring Demon, who had long coveted the defenseless villagers. The more residual souls the Soul-Devouring Demon devours, the stronger it becomes, completely disregarding the Wanxing Sect and directly targeting the villages.
"I see..."
Qin Feng pondered as he stroked his chin, then asked, "What is the attitude of the Wanxing Sect now?"
Little White looked a bit sad and said, "Before, several villages were massacred by the Soul-Devouring Demon. The village chiefs all went to the Wanxing Sect to seek an explanation, and although the Wanxing Sect talked with the Heavenly Destiny Sect, the result was... they still maintained neutrality. As a condition for Heavenly Destiny Sect not to wage war on them, all the villages under the Wanxing Sect must be abandoned, which means, we have been abandoned..."
At this point, she couldn’t help but cry, "My father and mother, they are all dead, the entire village, all gone..."
Unrivaled felt a pang of sympathy and said, "If that’s the case, then join the Demon Suppression Hall! We are also looking for the Demon Suppression Hall."
"No."
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "Let’s not go to the Demon Suppression Hall for now!"
"Oh?"
Unrivaled looked at him in confusion.
Qin Feng thought for a moment and then said, "Let’s go to the Wanxing Sect first!"
"Why?" Unrivaled asked, confused, "Isn’t the Wanxing Sect willing to remain neutral and abandon all the villages rather than oppose the Heavenly Destiny Sect? Going to the Wanxing Sect might be futile."
"To fight against the Heavenly Destiny Sect, the Demon Suppression Hall alone is not enough. We must have the Wanxing Sect join us," Qin Feng said, furrowing his brow, and continued, "If I guessed correctly, the Wanxing Sect’s true aim is not merely to maintain neutrality!"
"Oh??"
Unrivaled was even more puzzled.
For the past ten thousand years, the Wanxing Sect had not participated in the struggles between the Demon Suppression Hall and the Heavenly Destiny Sect, how could it not be neutral?
"Take us to the Wanxing Sect then!"
Qin Feng said to Little White at this time.
Little White hesitated for a moment and said, "This... might be difficult because you two are human."
"Understood."
Qin Feng nodded.
He knew that what Little White meant was that it would not be good for him and Unrivaled, given that they were both human, and humans in the Kunlun Mist Cloud are highly coveted.
Even when faced with the supposedly neutral Wanxing Sect, they are very tempting.
"We can possess bodies in advance!"
Qin Feng said.
"Oh?"
Unrivaled and Little White were somewhat puzzled.
Qin Feng explained again, "This way, Little White can possess Unrivaled’s body, only requiring body sharing, without completely taking over, so that the people of the Wanxing Sect won’t be too harsh."
If Little White were to be forced to hand over Unrivaled’s body, Little White could choose to die with Unrivaled’s body, which would be of little significance to the Wanxing Sect.
So unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn’t harm Little White.
At most, they would try to bribe or threaten her into giving up the body herself.
She just needs to be smart and use their psychology to her advantage.
"But..."
Unrivaled still had some concerns at the moment.
Qin Feng knew what she was worried about and said, "It’s alright, we’ll first fuse our consciousnesses in advance, and remain in a state of consciousness fusion."
This way, there would be no concerns about Little White completely taking over her body.
"What about you?" Unrivaled asked.
Qin Feng smiled and said, "I already have a monster within my body."
As he spoke.
He tapped his left arm and said, "Old monster, aren’t you awake yet? Now’s the time we need you."
The Left Arm Qilin groggily woke up within Qin Feng’s mind and said, "Hey, I haven’t fully recovered yet, have you gotten into trouble again? You need to change this habit, or else I’ll end up being dragged down by you..."
Complaining.
Then it suddenly noticed something amiss around them!
Opened its eyes wide and looked around.
Everything here felt so familiar!
It was as if it saw its hometown, and it couldn’t help but tear up and said in a daze, "Am I dreaming? Isn’t this Mist Cloud Mountain? A thousand years have passed, and Mist Cloud Mountain is still here?? This, this..."
Qin Feng was also quite astonished.
A thousand years had gone by, and yet there were no significant changes here, and this Qilin had been here before as well.
"That’s right, it is Mist Cloud Mountain." Qin Feng said, "However, it has become a Sumeru space, preserved by a great power during the catastrophe, and there are still quite a few residual souls from ten thousand years ago in here..."
Qin Feng briefly explained.
The more the Left Arm Qilin listened, the more excited it became, like an elderly person returning to their childhood hometown, and upon hearing that familiar faces from ten thousand years ago might be seen, the feeling was simply too wonderful...
"Alright, alright, stop crying for now; it’s not time for you to return to your origins just yet."
Seeing it cry like a child in his consciousness, Qin Feng said in embarrassment.
After a while, the Left Arm Qilin finally controlled its emotions and said, "So our objective now is to go to this Wanxing Sect, right?"
"Exactly, but you should not speak." Qin Feng said, "We just need people to know that my body already has a master, and I will handle the rest by pretending to be you."
"Alright, alright..."
The Left Arm Qilin said excitedly.
Whether or not it could speak, at least its presence would occupy Qin Feng’s body more, experiencing the places it visited a thousand years ago more fully and in greater detail.
Soon.
Unrivaled allowed Little White’s soul to adhere to her body, and Qin Feng enabled the Left Arm Qilin’s presence to attach to his body, heading towards the Wanxing Sect.
In no time.
They arrived at the foot of the Wanxing Sect’s mountain.
At the mountain gate, there were four guards.
Little White, using Unrivaled’s body, stepped forward and pleaded, "I am from Well Water Village; our village was just massacred, and I wish to see the Hall Master of the Wanxing Sect."
