Chapter 1614: Chapter 1613: Undercover, Qin Feng?
"Hall Master!"
Standing on the other side were several elders, each with a pained expression, saying to Luo Jinhong, "Make a decision quickly! We can’t defeat the Heavenly Destiny Sect!"
"Yes! Hall Master, we can’t just send ourselves to death in vain!"
"It’s better to surrender and submit to the Heavenly Destiny Sect. Let them be the masters of Mist Cloud Mountain, and by then, if they find the ’Dragon Root,’ we can also survive!"
"..."
Everyone was persuading, but Luo Jinhong remained resolute, silent.
She knew, the situation was lost!
However.
This thousand-year-long confrontation with the Heavenly Destiny Sect was not something she wanted to concede just like that!
She was different from them.
Her mission, from before the catastrophe ten thousand years ago, was to exterminate demons and protect this world!
The catastrophe came, trapping her in Mist Cloud Mountain.
She still hadn’t forgotten her mission!
Although joining the Heavenly Destiny Sect might garner their strength and find a way to restore her physical body.
But.
This would come at the cost of billions of lives!
Dragon Root!
It could indeed restore one’s physical body.
However, to restore each body required the lives of many people, numbering in the tens of thousands, even millions; she couldn’t do that!
"Hall Master!"
A gaunt elder, on the brink of tears, said urgently, "Please, Hall Master, decide quickly! We don’t want to die!"
"Yes! Hall Master, I know you are concerned about the world outside Mist Cloud Mountain, about those estimated billions of lives. But we haven’t been out for ten thousand years; whether there are any beings outside is unknown. We can’t completely trust the words of those who come in from outside, can we?"
Another elder said.
"Exactly, Hall Master, who knows what it’s like outside after the catastrophe a thousand years ago? Perhaps there’s not much out there at all?"
"..."
Everyone was persuading.
Hall Master Luo Jinhong remained silent.
In the end.
The elders grew anxious, turning their gaze towards the twelve wanderers on the other side.
Wanderers.
In their world, they were the humans who came from outside!
After joining a certain organization here, they were referred to by the residual souls as "wanderers."
They retained their own independent souls, while allowing the residual souls here to use their bodies to wield greater power.
"All of this is the fault of you outsiders!"
The silver-haired Great Elder, in a burst of anger, pointed at the woman in the center of the twelve wanderers, saying, "It was you who spread lies, saying the outside world has billions of humans, most of whom are living in peace, which is why our Hall Master has so many concerns!"
"I did not lie."
The woman replied.
The speaker was none other than Shuiyun Immortal, who a century ago led countless strong warriors to seal the Ksitigarbha Demon!!
"Didn’t lie? What about the ten thousand people who recently joined the Heavenly Destiny Sect? Do they look like they’re living in peace? Perhaps a great war has already erupted outside!" the silver-haired elder shouted.
"Perhaps. But compared to the stability of billions, a war involving tens or hundreds of thousands is insignificant."
Shuiyun Immortal’s tone remained calm.
"You, you..."
The silver-haired elder, once again enraged, shifted his gaze to Luo Jinhong.
At this moment, Luo Jinhong let out a long sigh and was about to speak when someone suddenly reported, "Two spies from the Heavenly Destiny Sect have been captured!!"
The hall erupted into chaos upon hearing this.
The silver-haired elder anxiously exclaimed, "Look! The Heavenly Destiny Sect has planted spies to gather information on us. If we continue to resist, we might be doomed!!"
Luo Jinhong called for calm and ordered the spies to be brought forward.
Soon.
Qin Feng and Unrivaled were brought to the hall, bound.
Upon arriving at the Demon Suppression Hall, before they could express their intentions, they were immediately attacked.
The reason was that they were both human!
And now, all new humans entering this world had joined the Heavenly Destiny Sect. Fresh from a battle, panic-stricken, they saw new humans as enemies, capturing them at once.
Qin Feng did not resist too much.
It was a chance to meet their leader.
Unexpectedly, the treatment was so high, directly escorted to the main hall!
Upon entering the hall.
Qin Feng noticed the atmosphere here was very unusual, filled with tension and oppression.
Scanning around.
Qin Feng spotted a familiar figure among the twelve wanderers.
It was Shuiyun Immortal!
Of course.
He had never met Shuiyun Immortal in person, but her deeds a century ago were legendary, especially in subduing the Ksitigarbha Demon, making her name known throughout the Cultivation World. When approaching Kunlun Mist Cloud, his admirer Bing Chenzi had asked him to express his admiration if he met her, even giving him a painting of her.
Initially, Qin Feng was skeptical.
After all, Shuiyun Immortal had entered Kunlun Mist Cloud a century ago and must have aged, but the painting showed a young woman in her twenties.
Unexpectedly.
Qin Feng now saw Shuiyun Immortal in person, appearing just as in Bing Chenzi’s painting, seemingly only in her twenties!
A true ageless beauty!
While marveling at her youthful and unparalleled beauty, the silver-haired elder hurriedly approached, smiling with respect, saying, "Oh dear! Fighting among our own, what a big misunderstanding..."
Misunderstanding?
Our own?
Qin Feng was bewildered.
Wasn’t he a spy?
Or did they immediately see that he wasn’t a spy?
Either way.
It seems there are still many sensible people around.
Communication shouldn’t be too difficult.
At this moment.
Hall Master Luo Jinhong suddenly commanded, "Stop!!"
The silver-haired elder was stunned, anxiously saying, "Hall Master, these are spies from the Heavenly Destiny Sect, they’re Heavenly Destiny people, they mustn’t be killed..."
"Hmmph!"
Luo Jinhong coldly responded, "The Heavenly Destiny Sect dares to plant spies in our Demon Suppression Hall, they’re courting death! — Someone! Take them down and execute them!!"
The Hall Master was furious.
The silver-haired elder was helplessly anxious.
Seeing the situation was dire, Qin Feng and Unrivaled hastened to say, "Wait a minute! We’re not spies!"
"Not spies? Then what are you doing at our Demon Suppression Hall? Enough of your excuses!"
Luo Jinhong said.
Her subordinates, undeterred, tried to drag Qin Feng away. Qin Feng hurriedly looked at Shuiyun Immortal, saying, "If you don’t believe me, you can ask her! I’m one of her people!"
Everyone turned their gaze to Shuiyun Immortal.
Shuiyun Immortal’s eyebrows rose slightly, showing doubt.
Qin Feng continued, "Shuiyun Immortal, I know you. I am Qin Feng from Dragon and Tiger Village, you may not have heard of me, but trust me, we are on the same side. The Ksitigarbha Demon you sealed a century ago, I’ve already destroyed it!"
"Oh??"
Shuiyun Immortal’s eyebrows rose in surprise, saying, "I’ve heard of Dragon and Tiger Village. Are you really from the Earth World? And you’re saying... you’ve already destroyed the Ksitigarbha Demon?"
