in reality.
"I know what you're thinking."
As Nan Feng gently wrapped the bandage around Tang Yuehua's neck, he casually said, "You're thinking of taking a few detours in this desolate wilderness, buying yourself some time. It would be best if you could run into a passing caravan or hunters, or at least leave a mark."
"You want the news to get out, to let the main force of the Haotian Sect that is on its way know that there is danger here, so that they will change course or even turn back."
"Yeah?"
Tang Yuehua's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Your Majesty is overthinking it. The terrain in this mountainous area is complex, and I was only relying on my childhood memories to find the way, so some deviations are inevitable—"
"deviation?"
Nan Feng chuckled and took out a crystal-clear, blood-red jade from his pocket, waving it in front of Tang Yuehua.
"What about this one?"
Upon seeing the jade, Tang Yuehua's pupils constricted sharply, and her face instantly turned deathly pale.
That was a specially made communication jade talisman from the Haotian Sect that she secretly slipped into the merchant's hand while resting in that small town today, taking advantage of the time she was buying water!
If anyone takes this item to any of the properties under the Haotian Sect, it will trigger the highest level of alarm!
She did it so discreetly, how did Bibi Dong find out?!
"Tsk tsk tsk, top-quality blood-warm jade."
[Remember the fastest online novel website: 20 ...
Nan Feng toyed with the jade, his tone full of mockery, "Just tossing it to a merchant like that, Madam Yue, you really have a big hand."
As he spoke, he gently placed the cool jade stone on Tang Yuehua's newly bandaged instep, slowly sliding it upwards along her delicate skin.
"Such beautiful jade should be paired with a beautiful woman. How could it be left lying around like that?"
The icy touch sent a shiver down Tang Yuehua's spine, and a wave of fear washed over her.
This woman—she's been watching her from the very beginning!
She had seen through everything long ago, but deliberately kept quiet, watching her clumsy performance like a cat playing with a mouse, enjoying her struggle and despair!
Why do you have to do this?
Nan Feng sighed, a perfectly timed hint of sadness in his eyes: "I trusted you so much that I even accompanied you for two days and two nights to help you find your way around."
"But what about you?"
"Is this how you repay my trust?"
Nan Feng gently stroked the jade with his fingers, his tone becoming somewhat resentful: "Yuehua, you have let me down."
"I—" Tang Yuehua opened her mouth, but found herself speechless.
Actually, I'm not in a hurry.
Nan Feng put away the jade, then picked Tang Yuehua up again and placed her on his lap, as if he were coaxing a sulking little girl.
"The Spirit Temple's intelligence network has been fully deployed. The team of several thousand people is like a long snake. As long as it crawls on the ground, it will definitely leave traces."
"Let's keep dragging this out."
Nan Feng looked at the beauty in his arms, his eyes filled with a tenderness that could break one's heart: "Once my army finds those clues, once they've cut that long snake into pieces—"
"At that point, there was really nothing left to discuss."
"There was no choice but to exterminate the entire family."
Why are you forcing me?
Nan Feng's fingertips gently traced Tang Yuehua's cheek: "Why did you force me to destroy what you cherished most?"
At this moment, the last shred of hope and defense in Tang Yuehua's heart completely collapsed.
Looking at the beautiful woman before her, she felt as if she were looking into an abyss.
She has a keen eye for people's hearts, manipulates the rules, and schemes against everyone, while I am nothing more than an ant in the palm of her hand.
"I—I was wrong—"
Tang Yuehua finally broke down, tears streaming down her face. "I was really wrong—please, don't kill them—"
"I'll take you there! Really! I'll take you to the real place right now!"
"No."
Unexpectedly, Nan Feng shook his head, looking completely disinterested.
"Since you're unwilling, why should I force you?"
"The thing I dislike most is forcing others."
Nan Feng picked her up and stood up, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance, his tone terribly indifferent: "Since you don't believe me, let's continue our stroll."
"Isn't the scenery beautiful?"
"Perfect timing. The Spirit Hall needs time to find someone, and the Clear Sky Sect also needs time to get here."
"Let's just treat it as a spring outing."
"Once everything has settled down, once the Clear Sky Sect has vanished with the wind—come back to Martial Soul City with me."
"From now on, you will play the zither for me and brew tea for me."
"Forget about the Haotian Sect and Tang Hao, let them all go."
"No! No!!"
Tang Yuehua panicked completely, clutching Nan Feng's clothes tightly, tears streaming down her face: "I really know I was wrong! I'll take you there! Three hundred miles east of Tiandou City, there's a small village. That small mountain village is an outpost; the real location is on the mountain peak directly ahead after leaving the village. Just go through there, and you'll reach the backup base!!"
"Please! Believe me one last time!!"
Nan Feng lowered his head, looked at the woman in his arms who was crying bitterly, and sighed softly.
"Trust—"
"This thing is far too extravagant."
"Since you were unwilling to believe me in the first place, how can I possibly believe you again?"
"I gave you my trust, but you threw it into the mud like a piece of jade."
"I'm so sad, Yuehua."
Nan Feng sighed, picked her up, turned around, and made as if to walk in another direction.
"No!!!"
Tang Yuehua screamed in despair, "If you don't believe me, I swear! I can—"
"Sh-"
Nan Feng suddenly stopped and pressed a finger to her lips.
"No need for oaths."
"Since you're so sincere—"
I'll trust you one more time.
Nan Feng lowered his head and whispered in Tang Yuehua's ear, "Please don't hurt me anymore, okay?"
"Um·"
Three hundred miles east of Tiandou City, deep in the mountains.
Following Tang Yuehua's guidance, Nan Feng led her through the misty abyss, past the peaceful outpost of a small mountain village, and finally landed on the summit of a precipitous and solitary mountain.
Before us stands a fortress built entirely of massive stones, towering majestically as if it were one with the mountain.
The main gate is five meters high, and the three powerful characters "Haotian Sect" on the heavy stone gate still exude a breathtaking aura of dominance and grandeur despite the wind and rain.
This is the last escape route prepared by the Haotian Sect hundreds of years ago in preparation for annihilation.
"Is this... the last stronghold of the Haotian Sect?"
-
Nan Feng looked at the stone plaque and said, "It is indeed a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Unfortunately, if the defenses are breached, even the strongest fortress is nothing more than a tomb."
"Who goes there?!"
Just then, several sharp shouts came from the shadows of the fortress.
This place is guarded and maintained year-round. Although the number of people is small, they are all loyal followers of the Haotian Sect.
Upon seeing strangers descending from the sky, several Soul Masters on guard rushed out instantly, their Clear Sky Hammer Martial Souls shining brightly.
"Enemy attack! Send a message immediately—"
However, the word "number" was not uttered before it could be called out.
"Noisy."
Nan Feng didn't even lift his eyelids; he simply raised his hand and several beams of purple light shot out.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Several deep purple spider webs instantly spread out in the air, as if they had eyes, accurately binding the guards who wanted to escape and report the news.
The moment the spiderweb, carrying a potent paralyzing toxin, touched their skin, the guards' eyes rolled back, and they collapsed to the ground, unable to move, their bodies stiff.
"stop!!"
Tang Yuehua was horrified and quickly grabbed Nan Feng's arm, pleading, "They're just ordinary disciples guarding this place, they don't know anything! Please don't kill them!!"
"rest assured."
Nan Feng glanced indifferently at the few rice dumplings on the ground. "They won't die. They'll just get a good night's sleep and lose their ability to resist."
"I came alone after all. It would be so embarrassing if they ran out to report the news or shouted and scared away the main force of the Haotian Sect that hadn't arrived yet."
Nan Feng casually waved his hand, and his soul power surged, rolling the guards who were wrapped up like dumplings into a corner and piling them up.
"Just let them lie there."
After doing all this, Nan Feng did not rush into the fortress, but stopped in front of the huge stone gate.
A flash of light.
A gilded, soft-sided chair covered with expensive soul beast fur and inlaid with various gemstones appeared out of thin air, clashing with the surrounding ancient and rugged stone buildings, yet exuding an eerie luxury and arrogance.
Nan Feng casually sat down, then wrapped his arm around Tang Yuehua, who was still in a daze, and pulled her into his arms, letting her sit sideways on his lap.
"We're here?" Tang Yuehua was somewhat at a loss.
"certainly."
Nan Feng adjusted to a comfortable position, one arm around the beauty's slender waist, the other stroking her smooth, long hair, his gaze lingering on the winding path below the mountain: "Since we're here to pick someone up, we should naturally wait at the entrance. That shows sincerity, doesn't it?"
"and----"
Nan Feng leaned close to Tang Yuehua's ear and chuckled, "Don't you think that when Tang Xiao led his people through countless hardships and finally escaped to this safe haven that they thought was absolutely safe,..."
"When they looked up, they saw their arch-enemy, the Pope, sitting at the gate, holding his younger sister and waiting for them."
"That scene—"
"It must be very interesting, right?"
