120: Chapter 120 When you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.
"The jinge pearl is so precious; you're just giving it to me like this?" Jun Chen looked at the jinge pearl that Cang Yan handed over, his eyes struggling; he truly needed this, but why did he give it away just like that?
"Feel free to state any conditions you have; as long as it is within my capabilities, I will certainly help you."
"No need. I am simply venting some anger for Mistress. The jinge pearl is useless to me. Just keep it; consider it a gift for our time as brothers." He only wanted to enter the Jiuyou Secret Realm.
"Cang Yan, what did you mean when you said you might be able to survive coming out of Jiuyou? You are so powerful, would you still be in trouble? Do you need our help?" Feng Yange caught the flash of desolation in Cang Yan's eyes when he spoke. Was the Jiuyou Secret Realm really that dangerous?
"Mistress, this is my business. I apologize that I cannot tell you. We do not need your help; we are merely in a cooperative relationship." Cang Yan stood up. "I will return to my room first. If you need anything, just call for me."
The moment Cang Yan turned around, his face seemed as if it were about to crack open, as if magma were about to surge out, yet it returned to normal in an instant.
He did not have much time left.
Feng Yange stared at Cang Yan's back. "Can you tell what beast race he belongs to?"
"Avian," Mo Yuan said indifferently. "I am not sure of the specific type. He hides it very well. His aura is very violent, and he seems to be suppressing it all the time. Perhaps there is something he needs in the Jiuyou Secret Realm, and the danger level is extremely high."
"I also feel like he is of the avian race, but my current strength cannot probe him. He isn't even interested in the jinge pearl; his identity is definitely not simple." Jun Chen gripped the jinge pearl, his eyes struggling intensely.
Feng Yange's gaze darted between them. "I want to restock some Medicinal Pill."
Since Cang Yan said the Jiuyou Secret Realm was so dangerous, and she had offended the Xiao Family Head this time, if the Xiao Family found out that Cang Yan and she were in a cooperative relationship and came to retaliate, she needed to quickly improve her strength and become stronger.
The opening day of the Jiuyou Secret Realm arrived. Feng Yange brought the seven of them to the entrance of the Secret Realm. There were at least ten thousand people, a vast sea of them. Disciples from the Ten Great Families and various Sects arrived one after another, entering the Secret Realm in turn.
"Look! That is the Hehuan Sect Saintess! She is so beautiful."
Someone in the crowd shouted. Feng Yange turned around and saw four men in the distance carrying a sedan chair flying over. Sitting on it was a stunning woman, a young girl who looked no more than twenty. Her pair of fair, long legs made the male Disciple members' blood boil.
"Truly a stunning beauty!"
Feng Yange couldn't help but take a few extra glances. No wonder she was from the Hehuan Sect; this face, this figure—even as a woman, she liked it.
"Mistress, don't look."
Long Ze covered Feng Yange's eyes. "She is not good-looking."
"Mistress, she is not as beautiful as you see; do not be deceived by the illusion." Cang Yan whispered a reminder. Feng Yange quickly took out a disillusionment pill and popped it into her mouth. When she looked at the Hehuan Sect Saintess again, she hurriedly looked away.
Sure enough, seeing the true appearance was disappointing.
Feng Yange took out a storage ring and shoved it into Cang Yan's hand. "Take this; it might be able to help you."
Cang Yan glanced at the various Medicinal Pill and Talisman inside. "Many thanks, Mistress; I like it very much."
The Hehuan Sect Saintess's eyes suddenly swept over toward Feng Yange's side. Cang Yan avoided her gaze. Soon after, the Hehuan Sect Saintess lingered for a moment, then shifted her gaze away.
"Is it that you don't want to be discovered?"
Feng Yange pointed at the storage ring and lowered her voice to remind him, "There is a Disguise Pill inside. You can take it; there are no side effects. It lasts for one hour. If you need more, I will refine some for you once we are inside."
Cang Yan didn't even think about it before taking one and putting it in his mouth. His appearance immediately changed. Although he still looked quite good, it was much inferior to his original appearance and had become mediocre.
"Let's enter the Secret Realm."
Feng Yange gave them a look. While everyone was watching the Hehuan Sect Saintess, she found a queue entrance on the side, and the group walked into the Secret Realm.
"Remember what I instructed you to do; it must be done properly." The Xiao Family Head's target had been fixed on Feng Yange the moment she appeared. She had contacted the Ten Great Families and the Ten Great Sects to tell them about that day's events. Feng Yange was just a Loose Cultivator in the Spirit Emperor Realm; she wanted to see how she could possibly escape.
After Feng Yange was teleported to the Jiuyou Secret Realm, she was separated from them. Looking at the misty forest around her, she was just about to contact them when she heard someone speaking, "Where are we going to find Feng Yange!"
"What are you afraid of? Didn't the Sect Master say the Secret Realm entrance had been tampered with? After entering the Secret Realm, Feng Yange will definitely be separated from her husband. Without that expert's help, a mere Spirit Emperor Realm cultivator will be easy to handle; killing her will be as easy as crushing an ant."
Feng Yange quickly took out a Disguise Pill, pulled out a mirror to look at her plain and ordinary exterior, then took out a Jade Slip and sent a group message: We are being watched; rendezvous as soon as possible.
Feng Yange also sent her location, a trackable type; this was something she had specially designed.
After the seven of them received Feng Yange's Jade Slip transmission, their expressions changed abruptly. They hurriedly sent their own locations and reported their situations within the Jade Slip. Long Ze and Ling Feng were very close, so the two looked at the positioning and moved toward each other.
Feng Yange soon found those few people. When they saw Feng Yange, a person alone, they looked at her defensively. "Which family is this Junior Sister from?"
"Of course, the Xiao Family." Feng Yange coughed lightly. "You don't recognize me?"
The few shook their heads, but greeted her in a very friendly manner. "We are Disciples of the Xuanqing Sect."
"I've long heard of you. I don't know where you Senior Brothers are heading, but could you take me with you? I have been separated from my husband."
The few exchanged glances. "Then state your name."
"Xiao Linger." Feng Yange glanced at them and said in a low voice, "To be honest with you Senior Brothers, I am a side-branch Disciple of the Xiao Family."
"So you are a side-branch of the Xiao Family. Then your goal is the same as ours, to kill Feng Yange?"
The leading Disciple's eyes showed some displeasure. Feng Yange quickly waved her hand. "Of course not..."
Feng Yange looked around, lowered her voice, and said to them, "Senior Brothers, it is not like that."
The expressions of the few changed slightly. "What do you mean by that?"
Feng Yange looked around. "For the sake of you taking me along, I will give you a piece of advice: do not go looking for Feng Yange. That is a trap set by the Xiao Family, intentionally letting you go to your deaths. I saw the situation at the Xiao Family that day; the Xiao Family Head was almost..."
Feng Yange made a throat-slitting gesture. The expressions of the few changed abruptly. "Is everything you said true?"
"Would I bother lying to you? I am a side-branch member; I will leave anyway once the training is over. I only told you because I saw that you Senior Brothers are good people. If you don't believe me, just consider it never said. Do not tell anyone else, or the Family Head will kill me."
The few agreed and started discussing it. The more they talked, the more they felt that what Feng Yange said made sense.
Feng Yange followed them for a stretch of the road, and suddenly heard the roar of a beast. The few exchanged glances, immediately abandoned Feng Yange, and ran away quickly in another direction without looking back, leaving behind one sentence, "Junior Sister Xiao, run!"
