Chapter 1611: Chapter 1610: Dragon and Phoenix Eyes
"Oh? Didn’t you fail to persuade him to ally with the Demon Suppression Palace?"
Wushuang asked with confusion.
"That’s right, the Wanxing Sect has existed for ten thousand years, it won’t be persuaded by just my few words, just as that Emperor Wujian said, neither the Demon Suppression Palace nor the Heavenly Fate Sect can do anything, so how can I?"
Qin Feng replied.
"Then since you know this, why did you still try to persuade them?"
Wushuang asked, puzzled.
Qin Feng chuckled and said, "I only went to confirm one thing."
"What thing?"
"If my guess is correct, they already know the whereabouts of the ’Dragon Root’!"
"..."
Wushuang was even more puzzled by his words.
Qin Feng explained further, "Firstly, the Demon Suppression Palace and the Heavenly Fate Sect aren’t fools, it’s impossible for them to believe he’s neutral. My trip to Wanxing Sect was also to confirm that all his intentions are a disguise for neutrality. Otherwise, it would be impossible not to restore the physical body for ten thousand years, and they’ve always relied on the village chief to cultivate Immortal Herbs and Medicine, and forge Divine Weapons, which in itself explains many issues, showing their preparation for war!"
"Secondly, the purpose of their preparation is not to let the Demon Suppression Palace and the Heavenly Fate Sect fight, but to reap the benefits from the conflict."
"Even a blind person can see, now that the Heavenly Fate Sect has joined forces with ten thousand people from the Dragon King Hall, Wanxing Sect and the Demon Suppression Palace combined are no match. Emperor Wujian surely sees this, but they chose not to fight, opting instead for patience to avoid conflict with the Heavenly Fate Sect, because their ultimate goal isn’t to defeat the Heavenly Fate Sect!"
"Thirdly, since they aren’t neutral, nor are they aiming to defeat the Heavenly Fate Sect, why maintain peace at Mist Cloud Mountain for ten thousand years? Because they are making preparations!"
"Anyone here has only one greatest dream, to restore the physical body!"
"Therefore, their decade-long preparation must be for this very reason!"
"It’s said that becoming the master of Mist Cloud Mountain allows one to find the ’Dragon Root’, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other ways to find it."
"Thus, I guess their decade-long purpose is to find the ’Dragon Root’ in a special way!"
"And perhaps, they’re close to finding it!"
"Since they not only want to avoid conflict with the Heavenly Fate Sect, I even deliberately lied and said I was from the Demon Suppression Palace, yet he held back, indicating they don’t want conflict with the Demon Suppression Palace either. The reason is clear, they want to focus solely on finding the ’Dragon Root’! Not to be distracted by any incident!"
"Otherwise, why would he let go of my ’Pristine Immortal Body’?"
"..."
After Qin Feng finished speaking, Wushuang widened his eyes in astonishment, stunned for a long moment before saying, "So... the reason you went to Wanxing Sect wasn’t truly to persuade them to ally, it was this!"
"Yes, from what Little White said, they’d rather abandon the village than start conflict with the Heavenly Fate Sect, I started suspecting then but wasn’t sure. My trip to Wanxing Sect was to gamble, seems I made the right bet," Qin Feng said.
"Bet right?" Wushuang was puzzled.
"Of course, I bet they have other ways to find the ’Dragon Root’, this is also our only hope to win." Qin Feng sighed and said, "According to the Mountain Guardian Elder’s words, with ten thousand from the Dragon King Hall joining the Heavenly Fate Sect, we aren’t their match in any case, we can only seek other ways to fundamentally secure victory by finding the Dragon Root!"
"Indeed, finding the Dragon Root allows one to claim the authority here!"
Only then did Wushuang fully understand.
Meanwhile, he gazed at Qin Feng with increasing admiration, even reverence!
It turned out he had thought of the solution from the beginning, and with his extraordinary wisdom and courage, ventured to Wanxing Sect, truly incredible!
"Next, I’m going to probe for some news, you guard me here,"
Qin Feng said, sitting cross-legged.
"How to probe?"
Wushuang asked, perplexed.
"You only need to guard me here, don’t let anyone disturb me,"
Qin Feng instructed.
Then.
He performed a Hand Formation, then pointed the sword finger at his temples, eyes suddenly opening wide, shouting: "Dragon and Phoenix Eyes, release!!"
Left eye dragon, right eye phoenix.
Rushing out from his eyes, heading towards the sky.
And those "dragon" and "phoenix" eyes formed by Gang Qi were hidden amidst the clouds like his eyes, overlooking the whole of Wanxing Sect!
This move.
Had been practiced by him while cultivating in the Purple Cloud Palace in the Upper Realm.
Previously he only used "Dragon Phoenix Illusion" to release pressure!
Eventually, he realized he could merge his consciousness with the "Dragon Phoenix Illusion" to achieve a "soul out of body" effect.
However.
With Emperor Wujian present, Qin Feng dared not let his consciousness get too close to Wanxing Sect, it could only hover high above.
Fortunately, his vision was remarkable, able to mostly discern the movement of Wanxing Sect’s personnel.
He saw a long line of people from Wanxing Sect occasionally entering and exiting a cave in the back mountain, each wave entering, followed by a tired group leaving, seemingly with little time to rest, quickly recovering with Immortal Herbs and Medicine. Their Divine Weapons also appeared somewhat damaged.
"As expected! The peace and tranquility around Wanxing Sect are just a facade, the scene at the back mountain reflects their true nature!"
Qin Feng murmured.
Qin Feng eagerly wanted to know where the cave in the back mountain led.
But his current strength couldn’t see inside.
"I can only take a gamble!"
Qin Feng frowned, then performed another Hand Formation, controlling the "Dragon and Phoenix".
The "Dragon and Phoenix" plummeted downward like arrows loosed from a bow, swiftly entering the cave, rushing forward at the fastest speed inside!!
Very quickly.
Emperor Wujian, as well as many elders of Wanxing Sect, also noticed the consciousness invasion, one elder in the cave waved his sleeve, "Boom", destroying Qin Feng’s consciousness attached to the "Dragon Phoenix Illusion"!
Below the mountain.
Qin Feng’s spirit trembled, his consciousness attacked, his body slightly unstable.
Yet now was no time to rest.
He immediately grabbed Wushuang, shouting: "Human Emperor Step, One Step to Heaven!!"
In the blink of an eye.
He was a hundred miles away!
It wasn’t over yet.
Qin Feng continued to endure the shaking of his spirit, again stepping: "One Step to Heaven!!"
In the blink of an eye.
He was a hundred miles further.
But.
Qin Feng could still feel the strong killing intent behind him!
It was Emperor Wujian pursuing!
"One Step to Heaven!!"
"One Step to Heaven!!"
"..."
He took nine steps in succession!
Nine hundred miles in total!
Only then did Qin Feng feel the killing intent from Emperor Wujian dissipate.
He was now utterly exhausted.
Using One Step to Heaven once drained much energy, now using it nine times!
Moreover, this was under the condition of his spirit having been severely injured!
"How are you now?"
Beside the river, Wushuang asked worriedly, supporting Qin Feng.
"Quick, jump into the river!"
Qin Feng said at that moment.
