C360 He Didn't Need a Bodyguard
"Jiajia, there's... the Qi of a powerful Demonic Beast here. We should stop moving forward!"
Not long after, Shangguan Junming and Shangguan Jiajia, who were leading the way, appeared in Xu Feng's sight with three subordinates behind them.
The one who spoke could clearly sense the Qi left behind by the Thousand Frost Demonic Snake. He frowned and said in a soft voice.
What made Xu Feng curious was that they originally had five or six followers. Now, there were only three of them left. Judging from their clothes, they were very neat and tidy. It didn't seem like a battle had happened, but a few people had disappeared for no reason. Xu Feng couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Brother Jun Ming, in the air, besides the aura of the Demonic Beast, there is also... a familiar aura fluctuation. Have you noticed it?"
Shangguan Jiajia closed her eyes and frowned slightly, as if she was thinking carefully about something.
Xu Feng's heart sank. When he faced the Thousand Frost Demonic Snake just now, he had released his Yuan energy. At this moment, there was still a trace of his aura left in the air.
Sure enough, Shangguan Jiajia opened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with excitement as she said excitedly, "Brother Jun Ming, it's Xu Feng. It's Xu Feng's Qi. Can you feel it? He actually came to Bloody Moon Mountain Range!"
Upon hearing Xu Feng's name, Shangguan Junming's facial expression turned ugly. He said in a deep voice, "Xu Feng's strength is not bad, but he just came to Central State. He hasn't broken through to the Celestial Essence Stage yet, even if he wants to train in Bloody Moon Mountain Range. I'm afraid that's impossible."
After a pause, Shangguan Junming said again, "Jiajia. Do you miss Xu Feng too much? Ever since you came back from Sky Shaking Cliff, you have always mentioned Xu Feng's name."
Hearing Shangguan Junming's words, Shangguan Jiajia's face turned red like a ripe tomato. She hurriedly said, "What do you mean by that? There is really his aura in this world!"
Shangguan Junming had a crush on Shangguan Jiajia for a long time. He originally thought that the two of them would continue like this. Then they would wait for the family's arranged marriage. He didn't expect that in the trip to Sky Shaking Cliff, a Xu Feng would suddenly appear. He had left a mark in Shangguan Jiajia's heart. From now on, in Shangguan Jiajia's heart, there was an additional person called Xu Feng.
In this lifetime, he was unwilling to see Xu Feng again. This was the strongest wish in Shangguan Junming's heart.
"How about... we go back to the family?"
Shangguan Junming asked in a probing manner. He had no intention of checking if there was any Qi of Xu Feng in this world. At this moment, he just wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible, away from any place that was related to Xu Feng.
Shangguan Junming didn't have a good impression of Xu Feng, but Xu Feng also didn't have a good impression of him. After saving his life, he didn't know how to be grateful, and he even mocked and ridiculed him. Just based on this point alone, Xu Feng wouldn't become friends with him.
"No!" Shangguan Jiajia's tone was very firm, and then she said, "You know how important the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus is to me. I must find it and save my mother!"
"Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus?"
Xu Feng was shocked. As a Pill Alchemist Refiner, he knew the value of a Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus like the back of his hand.
As the main reason, he could refine a few extremely precious Medicine Pill. As a supplementary medicine, it could neutralize the intense nature of most Medicine Pill. It would make it even gentler. No matter which one it was, the effects of the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus were inestimable!
However, the growth environment of the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus was extremely harsh. It had to grow in an extremely cold place that had been frozen for a long time, and before it matured, it could not see a trace of sunlight. Otherwise, it would just vanish into thin air.
Just from the harsh environment of its growth, one could tell how precious the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus was. The value of a single Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus was even if it was three thousand high grade Essence Crystal. I can't get it. And from Shangguan Jiajia's words, the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus was in the Bloody Moon Mountain Range!
"Jiajia, don't worry. Even if I have to die, I will help you find the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus!"
Shangguan Junming's eyes would only show a trace of gentleness when facing Shangguan Jiajia. He would be cold to the others.
After the two of them talked for a while, they moved forward again. Xu Feng, on the other hand, used the Ghost Dance and followed behind them at a moderate pace.
Xu Feng did not only want to know about the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus, he also wanted to know more about it. Whether it was really in the Bloody Moon Mountain Range... More importantly, if the news was true... It would certainly cause a fight. At that time, judging from their strength... They might not even be able to take advantage of the situation.
If there was a chance, Xu Feng would not mind taking the sheep with him. However, Shangguan Jiajia was very kind. Xu Feng would not just watch her mother fall into a critical condition.
For a person who was looking for his mother, Xu Feng understood this feeling very well when he met someone who had similar experiences as him.
He knew how it felt to lose a family member, so he naturally did not want Shangguan Jiajia to suffer such injuries.
At the same time, Xu Feng couldn't help but think of his mother. Ever since he was in Profound Wind City, he had been constantly searching for her. However, he had never had any news about his mother, as if she had vanished into thin air.
Even the Asura Hall, which had a lot of information and resources, shook their heads and sighed when they heard about his mother.
"Mother, I will definitely find you!"
Xu Feng, who was hidden in the world, couldn't help but recall his father's voice. "Child, this isn't a place you should be. Your mother is still waiting for you in the distance!"
There were countless times when Xu Feng felt that he could not hold on any longer. It was his father's voice that silently supported him. With just a voice, it became the toughest pillar in Xu Feng's heart.
As if he could feel the changes in Xu Feng's mental state, the Aura of Heaven and Earth hovered around Xu Feng's dantian. It emitted a gentle smoke that enveloped his dantian, as if it was comforting Xu Feng.
In the next few days, there were a few Demonic Beast that attacked Shangguan Jiajia and her group. However, they were not very powerful, and they had easily dealt with them. They had not seen each other for a period of time, or perhaps they had been provoked by Xu Feng. Shangguan Junming's strength was not much stronger than when he was in Sky Shaking Cliff. If they didn't encounter a Middle Period of Celestial Essence Stage Demonic Beast, just the few of them... It was more than enough.
For three consecutive days, under Xu Feng's deliberate concealment, they didn't discover Xu Feng's figure. Just like that, Xu Feng followed their footsteps and slowly moved forward.
On the fourth day, the two followers returned with solemn expressions. After whispering in Shangguan Jiajia's ear for a while, Shangguan Jiajia changed the route and headed in the direction of the followers' return.
"Looks like the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus is real!"
As a Pill Alchemist refinement, Xu Feng was also incomparably excited in his heart. Every type of Medicine Pill was something that could only be chanced upon by luck. If he could obtain a leaf of the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus, it would be very useful for his future pill refinement.
Furthermore, Xu Feng had already broken through to the Celestial Essence Stage. He even had the impulse to break through to the Fourth Grade Alchemist!
After walking east for another two to three days, the number of Demonic Beast and cultivators in the surroundings had clearly increased. Whether it was the Demon Cultivator or the Human Cultivator, they were all extremely powerful.
Shangguan Jiajia and the others were indeed somewhat cold here. If it wasn't for the fact that they had the symbol of the Shangguan family on them, there would have been people who couldn't help but provoke them.
"Miss Jiajia, Brother Jun Ming, long time no see. I didn't expect you all to be here too!" As the voice faded, a handsome man appeared in front of Shangguan Jiajia. He had a gentle smile on his face as he held a paper fan in his hand. He was elegant and graceful.
However, both Shangguan Jiajia and Shangguan Junming could not help but frown when they saw the person in front of them.
"Nangong Yao, what are you doing here?"
Shangguan Junming stood in front of Jiajia and looked at Nangong Yao coldly.
If Nangong Jingtian was a genius of Nangong family, then this Nangong Yao was a super genius of Nangong family!
Nangong Yao was Nangong Jingtian's cousin. He had reached the Middle Period of Celestial Essence Stage at the age of eighteen. It could be said to be heaven defying. Although he looked gentle on the surface, he would never be polite when it came to fighting. As long as he thought that someone was a threat to him, he would suppress them without hesitation. He could be said to be cruel and merciless.
In the Kuntian Domain, there were even many cultivators who believed that as long as Nangong Yao could grow, the position of the next patriarch would definitely belong to him!
Nangong Yao didn't mind Shangguan Junming's tone. He still had the same smile on his face. He said, "I have nothing to do in the family, so I came to the Bloody Moon Mountain Range to take a look. Meeting is fate. Why don't you and I go together? How about it? "
As Nangong Yao's voice faded, the eight guards behind him took a step forward at the same time. Strands of faintly discernible Qi were emitted from their bodies. They were all Middle Period of Celestial Essence Stage warriors, it was a spectacular sight.
Compared to Nangong Yao, Shangguan Jiajia's strength seemed to be mixed with a lot of coldness.
This could no longer be considered an invitation, it was simply a naked threat. How could Shangguan Jiajia not know about growing up in the family? How could she not know about this kind of tacit understanding?
She swept away her usual weak expression and took a step forward. She said neither servile nor overbearing, "We appreciate Young Master Nangong's intentions. Jiajia just wanted to play in Bloody Moon Mountain Range for a while. She doesn't need any bodyguards."
What Shangguan Jiajia meant was that you, Nangong Yao, want to be my bodyguard. I don't want it, this is also a very heavy slap to the face!
"If that's the case, then I won't force you anymore! Let's go!"
Nangong Yao wasn't angry. The smile on his face was still the same, and his temperament was still the same. The paper fan danced in the air and he looked very cool. However, Xu Feng, who had been watching from afar, noticed that when Nangong Yao turned around, the corners of his eyes were filled with viciousness.
Xu Feng, who possessed the Aura of Heaven and Earth, had a very accurate judgment of the person. He had reason to believe that in the following days, as long as Nangong Yao had the chance, he would kill Shangguan Jiajia and the others without hesitation, and then dump their corpses in the wilderness!
