C371 He Had to Win
"I never thought that young master Nangong would give up the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus because of Miss Jiajia. It is rare to have such a deep friendship!"
When Nangong Yao finished speaking, another round of praise came from the crowd. However, in their hearts, they were all cursing Nangong Yao. After all, Nangong Yao had threatened them just now. There were still many experts among them. Who would be willing to give up the opportunity in front of them?
However, Nangong Yao was currently in the limelight. None of the cultivators here were fools. Anyone who dared to confront Nangong Yao head on would either have the same family power as the Nangong family, or their strength could sweep across the entire Nangong family.
Otherwise, they would only die.
"Bah! Shameless! Shameless!"
Xu Feng, who was always the best in the crowd, heard these words. And he cursed in his heart. He would never forget that a few nights ago, in the darkness of the night... How could Nangong Yao's lewd tone be that of love for Shangguan Jiajia? Clearly, he just wanted to toy with Shangguan Jiajia.
When Shangguan Jiajia heard this, her expression became even colder. She did not hesitate to reject Nangong Yao. She said, "I appreciate Young Master Nangong's good intentions. However, Jiajia felt that since the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus was born from the heavens, it should not be monopolized by anyone. I believe that those who are fated will naturally obtain it!"
" Alright! "
As soon as he finished speaking, countless practitioners shouted loudly. Shangguan Jiajia's words were to stimulate the emotions of these practitioners. There were many of them who had the strength, but those who dared to openly oppose the Nangong family... In this place, perhaps only Shangguan Jiajia would dare to oppose the ___.
Nangong Yao's facial expression didn't change. His eyes swept across all the cultivators present. There was a trace of ruthlessness hidden deep within his eyes. Others might not have noticed it, but Xu Feng had seen what Nangong Yao was thinking. With the Aura of Heaven and Earth, ___ was able to see through people's minds. He was very sensitive to such things.
"Miss Shangguan is right, I am too lonely and aloof. Those who are fated live in the end, this is natural. Since Miss Shangguan is unwilling to agree to my request, thank you, Miss Shangguan. After all, the most important thing is to find the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus. "
Nangong Yao slightly cupped his hands. From beginning to end, the smile on his face was like a spring breeze. In this world of ice and snow, it gave people a warm feeling.
Only a few people knew his true face, but that was not what they thought. Hidden under Nangong Yao's smile was a beast-like heart. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing!
After the many practitioners dispersed and dealt with the corpses of the dead, they continued to search in the snow. Until night, they did not find any traces of the Demonic Beast.
"Where did this Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus grow?"
Under the night sky, Xu Feng thought bitterly. Logically speaking, the Snow Giant Lizard had already reached the Great Perfection of Celestial Essence Stage, and it was fully qualified to enter the outer region. Now, it was guarding this land of ice and frost, unwilling to leave. There was only one reason for this - there was a condition here that was beneficial to its cultivation.
"Right! The Snow Giant Lizard appeared under the snow. Could it be that this Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus is under the snow?!"
A look of excitement flashed across Xu Feng's eyes. In order to verify his words, he found a secret place and used the Ghost Dance to return to the place where the Snow Giant Lizard had appeared.
After the destruction of the Snow Giant Lizard, the place was already in ruins. The ice and snow once again covered the place. Even the blood stains were covered, and not a single trace of a fight could be found.
Xu Feng did not panic. He slowly sat on the ground with his legs crossed. The Divine Sense slowly extended downwards, but the snow was too solid. The speed of his investigation was far from as deep as the ground.
After about seven minutes, Xu Feng was delighted in his heart. This was because he discovered that under the snow, about one kilometer away... There was a cave entrance to the mountain. The snow outside the cave surprisingly did not settle down. It was as if it had been isolated, leaving an empty space in front of the cave entrance.
"It's here!"
Xu Feng was delighted, and he tried to dig the Divine Sense deep into the cave. However, a buzzing sound came from his sea of consciousness. It almost made him cry out in pain. He didn't dare to continue following recklessly. He kept the Divine Sense. He gathered his origin and slowly focused his mind, eliminating the pain in his mind. Only then did he think of how to do it!
Now that there were so many cultivators, he wanted to sneak in without anyone noticing. It wasn't a good thing, but if they didn't enter first... It was very likely that someone would beat them to it. In such a situation... It was truly an interesting dilemma for him.
Just as Xu Feng was lost in his thoughts, a familiar figure was quietly gathering in Xu Feng's direction. It was Nangong Yao and his group.
"Those foolish cultivators, do they really think that the things of Nangong family will be shared with them? This is really funny!"
One of the followers sneered in a low voice. Just as he was about to say something else... However, he was stopped by Nangong Yao's gaze. Nangong Yao's gloomy business was heard. He said, "Don't speak. Don't startle the other practitioners! What we need to do is to end the battle quickly, and not startle anyone!"
Their footsteps were very light. After Nangong Yao finished speaking, everyone tactfully shut their mouths and followed behind Nangong Yao. They slowly advanced.
When Xu Feng saw them, he had already found a pile of snow and hid it. Although he had the Ghost Dance, so he wasn't afraid that Nangong Yao would know his movement technique, it was always good to be careful.
Just like the situation in front of them, if it wasn't for Xu Feng's return, how would they know that Nangong Yao had such an ability?
Because this place had been searched during the day, the number of cultivators here was pitifully small. There were only a few people left. According to Nangong Yao's character, whether or not he could see the sun tomorrow was still another matter.
"It's here!"
Nangong Yao stood at the top of the cave that Xu Feng had investigated earlier. It was not the slightest bit bad! Those few subordinates also took out tools from their Storage Ring and began to dig with all their might.
"Looks like Nangong family is determined to win this time!"
Because they were all cultivators, the digging speed was surprisingly fast. In the blink of an eye, a third of the tunnel had been dug. It was afraid that in another fifteen minutes, they would reach the entrance of the tunnel. Xu Feng's mind also began to become anxious.
He was the same as the other cultivators. It was impossible for him to give up the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus in front of him. This was very likely related to his future development in Kuntian Domain. How could he give up so easily?
"I have it!"
Xu Feng's eyes flashed with a trace of light. With a sinister smile, he used the Ghost Shadow Step and quickly retreated in the darkness of the night.
He did not dare to stop at all and used all his strength. In a dozen breaths time, he arrived in front of Shangguan Jiajia's tent.
"Who is it?"
As soon as he appeared, one of the followers noticed Xu Feng. He pulled out the Long Sword from his waist and immediately prepared to defend himself. Although these followers were not as strong as Nangong Yao and his group, they were very professional.
Walking out from the darkness, Xu Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's me."
After seeing that it was Xu Feng, the followers withdrew their swords. He knew Shangguan Jiajia and Xu Feng were friends. When Xu Feng left without saying goodbye, Shangguan Jiajia had quite a temper. These followers had never seen her before. Because of an ordinary looking man with average strength. Yet, she had lost her temper.
"Young Master Xu, may I know why you are here so late at night?"
The follower put away his sword and asked doubtfully.
"Please report to your young lady that I have something important to tell him!"
Xu Feng had a good impression of these followers. At least when he was seriously injured, these followers had personally bandaged him. When he couldn't move, they were the ones who carried him.
"No need! I saw that he came to visit in the middle of the night. I don't think he had any good intentions. You can leave!"
Just as the attendant was about to turn around and report to Shangguan Jiajia, a cold voice sounded from ancient times. It was Shangguan Junming, who had wanted to kill Xu Feng earlier.
At this moment, he was looking at Xu Feng with a disdainful expression. In his eyes, Xu Feng could even see a trace of killing intent. Obviously, Shangguan Junming had once again regarded Xu Feng as his love rival.
This Shangguan Yun had opposed him time and time again. He had already shown a lot of mercy, but this Shangguan Yun was being aggressive again and again, totally not putting Xu Feng in his eyes.
In the face of such a big matter, Xu Feng couldn't help but become angry. He said in a deep voice, "Shangguan Junming, you better get out of my way. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. You should know my strength!"
When the follower beside him heard Xu Feng's words, more surprised. Although Shangguan Junming's strength wasn't considered the top in the Shangguan family, he was still a young genius. His strength couldn't be underestimated. Currently, Xu Feng, who was dressed in plain clothes and looked a little embarrassed, was standing in front of him. He had actually exchanged blows with Shangguan Junming before? From his words, it seemed like Shangguan Junming had suffered a great loss at his hands.
Shangguan Junming wasn't a kind person to begin with. Now that he had been exposed by Xu Feng in front of everyone, his expression became even gloomier, as if water was about to drip out of his face.
"Hmph! No matter what, you won't be able to step into this place today!"
Shangguan Junming took a step forward, and it seemed like he was going to hold the fort by himself. He didn't even hide the killing intent in his eyes.
He thought that Xu Feng wouldn't come back after he left. He didn't expect that he would still come back in the middle of the night. A man and a woman, what else could they do in the middle of the night?
"Shangguan Junming, I don't have time to chit-chat with you here. Get out of my way!"
Xu Feng's face wrinkled. This young master of Shangguan Junming's was truly detestable. Now, Xu Feng even regretted that he didn't throw him into the grass bandit's nest in Sky Shaking Cliff and let the grass bandit kill him.
The two of them were like fire and water. Their followers couldn't leave and couldn't stay either. They could only step aside and watch the battle that was about to break out at any moment.
