77: track

At this moment, Lin Feng was hiding in the shadows, hearing He Jingyao and the others' conversation clearly.

Just as He Jingyao and his five companions were about to leave, He Jingyao, who was walking in front, was pierced through the chest by a blue Flying Sword controlled by the pink-clad woman. After killing He Jingyao, the Flying Sword arced in the air and then killed He Jingyao's two servants.

The three killed, including He Jingyao, looked at their chests in disbelief: "Why, Cousin!"

After the pink-clad woman controlled the Flying Sword to kill the three, a cold smile appeared on her face: "How can the matter between Lü Ping and me be spread? I can only rest assured if you are gone, Cousin."

Lin Feng was secretly shocked seeing this scene. He didn't expect this seemingly delicate pink-clad woman to be so ruthless, not even sparing her own cousin.

The woman in pink, after killing He Jingyao, took the green-clad woman, Lü Ping, and ran in the opposite direction. However, these two clearly underestimated the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. Not long after they ran, the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator returned.

Seeing the pink-clad woman and the green-clad woman frantically fleeing, the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator's lips curled into a cold smile. He didn't expect these two little girls to dare betray him and kill He Jingyao and his two servants. This was simply challenging his authority.

The Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator's figure flickered, instantly appearing in front of the two, blocking their path. Seeing this, the pink-clad woman and the green-clad woman's faces instantly turned pale. They knew that this time, they were probably doomed.

"You two little girls, how dare you betray me and kill He Jingyao and his two servants! You're truly audacious!" the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator roared.

The pink-clad woman forced herself to remain calm and said: "Senior, we were forced to do this. He Jingyao knew about our matter, and if it spread, it would be detrimental to us."

The Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator sneered upon hearing this: "Hmph, do you think you can escape my punishment this way? How naive!"

After saying that, the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator tormented the two women for a while, then had them serve him again before taking them away. Lin Feng did not choose to act; it wasn't that he was afraid of the opponent.

There was no need for Lin Feng and the opponent to fight to the death. The purpose of this trip had already been achieved. There was no need for Lin Feng and the opponent to fight to the death. The purpose of this trip had already been achieved.

Lin Feng decided to first track these three to see what they were doing here before making further plans. He quietly followed behind the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, wanting to see where they were going and to also understand the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator's background.

The Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator took the two women and flew all the way out of the Volcano Crater. Lin Feng followed closely behind them, not daring to be careless in the slightest. After flying for about half an hour, they arrived at a hidden valley. The Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator's figure flickered, and he took the two women into a cave.

Lin Feng hid himself outside the cave and quietly approached the entrance. He heard the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator say inside the cave: "You two little girls, you have rendered great service this time. When I obtain that treasure, I will certainly not treat you unfairly."

The pink-clad woman and the green-clad woman showed joy upon hearing this and quickly said: "Thank you, Senior. We will certainly do our best to serve Senior."

The Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator smiled, then said: "Alright, you two wait here first. I'll go retrieve that treasure and will be back soon."

After speaking, the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator's figure flickered and he flew towards the depths of the cave. Lin Feng, seeing this, wondered what treasure was in this cave that made the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator value it so much?

Lin Feng decided to risk entering the cave to see what was inside. He quietly walked into the cave, only to see that it was filled with various Restrictions. A slight misstep could trigger a Restriction and lead to a fatal disaster.

Lin Feng did not choose to enter the cave, but instead retreated to the cave entrance, set up the Small Five Elements Inversion Formation outside the Formation, and then waited there for the three to come out.

Lin Feng waited patiently outside the cave entrance, his heart secretly vigilant. He knew that the cave was full of unknown dangers, and he was unclear about the situation inside. Therefore, he dared not be careless in the slightest, focusing all his attention on the movements within the cave.

Time passed minute by minute, but there was no movement inside the cave. Lin Feng wondered what the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator was doing, and why he hadn't come out for so long? Had he encountered some trouble in the cave?

Just as Lin Feng was wondering, a faint sound suddenly came from inside the cave. Lin Feng was startled and quickly hid himself, fearing that he would be discovered by the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. He saw the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator's figure slowly emerge from the cave, a hint of joy on his face.

The Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator looked at the pink-clad woman and the green-clad woman following him and said: "You two little girls, you have rendered great service this time. I have already obtained that treasure, and I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

The pink-clad woman and the green-clad woman showed excitement upon hearing this and quickly said: "Thank you, Senior. We will certainly do our best to serve Senior."

The Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator nodded, then looked into the distance, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He seemed to have already sensed Lin Feng's presence and said coldly: "Hmph, boy hiding in the shadows, aren't you going to come out yet?"

Lin Feng was startled, not expecting his whereabouts to be discovered by the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. He sighed helplessly, knowing that there was no point in hiding any longer, so he stepped out from his hiding place and came before the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator looked at Lin Feng and said coldly: "Boy, you followed me here, what is your purpose?"

Lin Feng smiled slightly and said: "Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. I am just passing by here, with no ill intent."

The Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator sneered upon hearing this: "Hmph, do you think I'll believe your nonsense? If you had no purpose, why would you appear here?"

Lin Feng knew that arguing further was useless at this point, so he calmly said: "Fellow Daoist, I do indeed have a purpose for coming, but it is not to snatch your treasure. I am merely curious about Senior's cultivation and strength, wanting to see who Senior truly is."

The Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator frowned slightly upon hearing this. He carefully scrutinized Lin Feng and found that although Lin Feng's cultivation was not as high as his own, he was not an ordinary person either. He pondered for a moment, then said: "Hmph, I won't discuss your purpose for now, but your following me here has already crossed my bottom line. If you don't want to die, obediently hand over your Storage Pouch and then get out of here."

Lin Feng heard this, feeling no fear in his heart. Lin Feng wanted to lure the opponent closer to step into the Small Five Elements Inversion Formation. So, he decided to retreat a step first, to entice the opponent.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and said: "Fellow Daoist, there is nothing valuable in my Storage Pouch, only some daily necessities and Cultivation resources. If Fellow Daoist does not mind, I can hand over the Storage Pouch to Fellow Daoist, but please spare my life."

The Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator's eyes flashed with greed upon hearing this. He didn't expect Lin Feng to hand over his Storage Pouch so easily. He chuckled and said: "Good, as long as you hand over the Storage Pouch, I will spare your life."

Lin Feng, seeing this, sneered inwardly. He knew that this Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator was inherently greedy, and with a little enticement, the opponent would take the bait.

So, he pretended to sigh helplessly, took out his Storage Pouch from his bosom, and handed it to the Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator snatched the Storage Pouch, opened it, and indeed saw that it contained only some daily necessities and ordinary Cultivation resources.

He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but then he thought that although these things were not valuable, they could barely compensate for his previous losses. So, he chuckled and said: "Good, since you have already handed over the Storage Pouch, I will spare your life. However, you must swear that you will never follow me again, nor will you reveal today's events."
