46: Bai Xin'er's ominous premonition

Barren hills, where eerie ghostly fires flickered.

Bai Xin'er sat on Azure Ox Great Saint's shoulder, holding a jade-green Ruyi scepter in her slender, fair fingers.

The Ruyi scepter glowed, its tip constantly flickering towards the southwest of the hills.

“We’re almost there.”

“A creation formed from a Realm’s Origin is very likely an extreme dao emperor weapon.”

“If I can acquire it, then I’ll be qualified to confront that guy from the Heavenly Demon Realm again.”

Bai Xin'er’s peach blossom eyes sparkled.

To seize the Xuan Realm’s Origin, she had been planning in the Xuan Realm for many years, and now it was finally time for her harvest.

Azure Ox Great Saint was also extremely excited: “Haha, Monarch, I sense the Origin’s Qi.”

“It should be just ahead. The old fellows of the Xuan Realm are now completely preoccupied by the passages under the three Demon Subduing Magic Arrays, so no one can stop us anymore.”

Bai Xin'er tightened her grip on the jade-green Ruyi scepter and calmly said, “Don’t get excited. Everything has been too smooth.”

“Smooth? Isn’t smooth good?”

Bai Xin'er didn’t reply. For some reason, the man’s figure flashed before her eyes.

That guy, Chu Feng, had disappeared without a trace with Gu Yan, and there had been no news of him until now.

As a top powerhouse of the Xuan Realm, shouldn't he be helping to suppress the three passages at this time?

Yet, none of her informants near the passages had discovered that man’s presence.

This made her inexplicably uneasy.

Hmm?

Is that… that man?

Bai Xin'er’s pupils suddenly constricted as she stared ahead.

Atop a dark, jagged, dog-tooth-like solitary mountain, the final location where the Xuan Realm’s Origin, indicated by the jade-green Ruyi scepter, was to appear.

She saw a familiar figure!

Bai Xin'er’s face abruptly changed; she could hardly believe her eyes.

What she feared had come true!

Why would she see him in such a place?

Azure Ox Great Saint’s face also suddenly changed: “Woah! Monarch, why is there someone??”

He hadn't seen Chu Feng before, but seeing someone had arrived even earlier than them, an overwhelming might immediately erupted from his body, causing the Spiritual Qi within a ten-thousand-mile radius to halt due to his power.

Chu Feng looked at the two who had finally arrived in the distance, raised his left hand, waved, and greeted, “Yo, you’re here?”

Bai Xin'er: “…”

Azure Ox Great Saint, in a blink, had already arrived a hundred meters away from Chu Feng, suspended in the Void Realm, his eyes blood-red as he watched him.

Isn’t this guy the Saint Gu Yan wanted to get revenge on?

This damn guy, he seems to know me?

Bai Xin'er took a deep breath and slowly said, “I really didn’t expect to see you here.”

Chu Feng looked at her with a smile, not responding.

Azure Ox Great Saint was even more bewildered. He glanced at Chu Feng, then followed his gaze to Bai Xin'er: “Monarch, do you two know each other?”

Bai Xin'er ignored him: “Gu Yan must have been killed, right? Congratulations.”

To this day, she didn’t know why this guy, who was at least at the Great Saint Realm, had such strange preferences, toying with a small fry like Gu Yan like a clown.

Chu Feng chuckled lightly: “Heh, I really have to thank you for your help. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have seen such a good show. We can cooperate again if there’s a chance in the future.”

“Cooperation is certainly no problem, as long as you can afford the high price like before.”

Gu Yan: “…”

He understood everything.

He understood it all.

Before, he would still doubt that Chu Feng, that beast, was lying to him again.

But now, Bai Xin'er and Chu Feng had just met, and within a few sentences, they had completely broken through his defenses.

So, from the very beginning, when he stepped into the Wasteland Small World, he had already been thoroughly sold out.

Bai Xin'er… you have such a cruel heart.

Was our relationship always just an act from you?

Gu Yan recalled all their past moments.

The sweetness of the past now felt like a sharp blade.

Betrayed again, his heart was dead. He couldn't even put on a brave face anymore.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Bai Xin'er didn’t want to beat around the bush anymore: “What are you doing here?”

Chu Feng looked at her and said faintly, “What you came to do, I came to do.”

Bai Xin'er: “…”

Indeed, was I right?

Her face was somewhat unsightly; her ominous premonition had come true.

Right at the crucial moment, something thorny had happened.

This man, Chu Feng, had also set his sights on the Xuan Realm’s Origin.

Although Chu Feng’s response was vague, Bai Xin'er knew that his goal was the same as hers.

There was never a shortage of smart people in this world. Having arrived at such a place, to continue deceiving oneself would be disrespecting one's own intelligence.

She seriously said to Chu Feng, “Then… from now on, let’s rely on our own abilities.”

Chu Feng tossed a miniature bronze door, wreathed in purple Qi, in his hand and asked in confusion, “Huh?”

The moment the miniature bronze door was tossed up by Chu Feng, the jade-green Ruyi scepter in Bai Xin'er’s hand…

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

It began to tremble wildly!

Her peach blossom eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief: “You, you’ve already got it!?”

Azure Ox Great Saint, who had been completely lost, also changed his expression drastically; he was stunned too.

Woah!

What’s going on?

Why do I feel like someone stole my fruit??

Chu Feng said nonchalantly, “Hasn’t this thing always been mine?”

“Nonsense!”

“How could the Xuan Realm’s Origin be yours?”

Azure Ox Great Saint was furious.

Chu Feng smiled, not minding his offense, and tapped the small door with his knuckles: “Allow me to formally introduce you, the Eternal Gate’s artifact spirit.”

As he tapped.

The door gently opened a crack, a light shone through, forming a transparent human outline: “Chu Feng!!! I’ll kill you!!”

Gu Yan’s tone carried three parts anger and seven parts terror.

Just now, when Chu Feng tapped the door with his knuckles, he found his body uncontrollable, almost instinctively emerging from the Eternal Gate!

What did this mean?

It meant that at some unknown point, he, the Eternal Gate’s artifact spirit, had completely lost control over this extreme dao emperor weapon!

He had been refined without even realizing it!

When did Chu Feng make his move??

Gu Yan only thought for a moment before he understood.

He had just re-entered Fusion with the Eternal Gate and hadn’t fully familiarized himself with the artifact spirit state yet.

Every time Chu Feng used words to disturb his mind, he would fall into a state of confusion and naturally lose his perception of the Eternal Gate!

Then, this beast took the opportunity to frantically refine the Eternal Gate!

Just in that instant when he was provoked and had his defenses broken by Bai Xin'er, he was astonished to discover that the Eternal Gate had already been completely refined!

How was he supposed to play this game now??

This meant that from today onwards, Chu Feng would become his master, able to toy with him however he pleased!

Just thinking about his tragic fate in the future.

Gu Yan only felt that death would be better than living!
