TWSLFD-Chapter 171: Suddenly Felt Comfortable

Aside from preparing all kinds of supplies, Feng Xi didn’t forget to come to Elder Hai to restore favorability.

The moment Elder Hai saw her, he huffed and glared at her, only just short of telling her to scram!

Feng Xi acted as if she hadn’t seen it and said with a smile, “Elder Hai, you still don’t know, do you?

Right now, the entire sect is praising you!

With how dangerous the first visit to the Yan Clan is, only you have such courage to dare take on this heavy responsibility!

Although I know you have always wanted to be an unsung hero behind the scenes and don’t care about such empty fame, now that humanity is at a critical point of life and death, you must step up to the front…”

Elder Hai, who had originally been furious, silently poured Feng Xi a cup of spiritual tea.

So be it!

For humanity, for Xuantian Sect, he would bear this empty fame!

It was the day of departure.

Xiao Baidao led a group of higher-ups and personally saw them off outside the mountain gate.

Feng Xi very smoothly knelt and bowed to the ancestral master.

“Ancestor above, disciple Feng Xi is about to visit the Yan Clan. This journey will be through distant mountains and long rivers, with the date of return uncertain. I ask that you bless us so that we may achieve our wishes and return safely!”

Seeing this, Elder Hai, Jiang Ji, and the others also knelt down, Xiao Baidao and the group of higher-ups did the same.

Outside the mountain gate, a dark mass of people knelt.

Feng Xi thought, the ancestor should really properly thank her. If not for her, how could he enjoy the kneeling worship of his juniors every few days?!

The ancestors of the other three sects were probably all so sour with jealousy that they turned into lemon spirits!

After everyone stood up, Elder Hai was the first to rise on his sword.

Jiang Ji and the others also rose on their swords.

Only then did Feng Xi slowly summon the wooden sword, fasten her seat belt, and chase after them while howling.

Pei Zhou was so frightened that he shuddered and almost fell off his flying sword.

Jing Yan silently glanced at him and felt more balanced inside.

It seemed that he wasn’t the only one who had been frightened.

Feng Xi and the others first flew on their swords to the meeting point of the four sects, then uniformly took a flying boat to the Yan Clan.

En, the spirit stone cost of the flying boat would be split evenly.

When Xing Wu saw Feng Xi, he shuddered.

But he very quickly reacted. They couldn’t spar in swordsmanship inside the flying boat, so he immediately relaxed.

Then, thinking of how those Yan Clan people still didn’t know Little Junior Sister’s terrifying aspects, he immediately lit a giant candle that reached into the sky for them!

The journey was very smooth. On this day, they arrived at the border region between humanity and the Yan Clan.

The Yan Clan had already sent the Spring Protector to wait at the border.

The Yan Clan had four protectors: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, each responsible for their own duties.

The Spring Protector was mainly responsible for diplomatic affairs. He had quite the air of an immortal, and if not for the flame mark between his brows, he would look no different from a human.

The Spring Protector behaved very enthusiastically. After exchanging a few greetings, he said, “Everyone, this is your first time entering the Ruins Realm. It is necessary for me to tell you some points that require attention.

Although our Ruins Realm also has spiritual qi, it isn’t pure. It is mixed with some nightmare qi, so it may make you a bit uncomfortable.

Your cultivation will drop by one major realm, and your divine sense will also feel some slight discomfort.”

Only after emphasizing this several times did he accompany Elder Hai and the others into the Ruins Realm.

Everyone felt uneasy. After all, very few humans had set foot in the Ruins Realm, and everything here was unknown.

Sure enough, just as the Spring Protector had said, everyone felt their bodies become very fatigued, even a bit powerless, and their divine sense also felt waves of faint pain.

Feng Xi originally had nothing wrong with her, but seeing that everyone else looked uncomfortable, she quickly furrowed her brows tightly and forcibly made a thin layer of sweat appear on her forehead.

She deliberately glanced at Pei Zhou. Although he looked less affected than the others, he also had some slight discomfort.

Feng Xi guessed that this might have something to do with his Yan Clan bloodline being sealed. Otherwise, the Yan Clan’s flame mark should also appear between his brows.

Those people following the Spring Protector couldn’t help showing disdain when they saw the human delegation in such a sorry state.

Humanity has always proclaimed themselves to be the paragon of all things, truly shameless!

If they really were the paragon of all things, why were they so restricted after arriving in their Ruins Realm?!

Only the Spring Protector maintained a smile that was as polite as ever, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

“Everyone, since you aren’t feeling very well, why not rest first at the posthouse? Tomorrow morning, you can have an audience with my emperor. Would that be acceptable?”

Elder Hai and the others were indeed feeling too uncomfortable, so they agreed.

The Spring Protector immediately arranged for everyone to stay at the posthouse.

There were two people per room. Since there were no other female disciples, Feng Xi had a room to herself.

Every room was decorated very luxuriously, and the servants were also respectful and polite.

No matter what the Yan Clan was like behind the scenes, they were passable on the surface.

Elder Hai and the others were a bit wary of the Yan Clan servants, so they dismissed them all.

Feng Xi, however, was like a fish in water. Not only did she calmly enjoy the servants’ service, she also smiled and chatted with them about family matters.

These servants had never left the Ruins Realm, so they were naturally very curious about the humans’ affairs and listened with great interest.

Feng Xi quietly slipped in some misery.

She said she had once been a little piece of trash with a damaged dantian. Although she could cultivate now, she was still the most useless one among the personal disciples.

Whether human or the Yan Clan, they would all lower their guard toward the weak. These Yan Clan servants were no exception.

Especially since Feng Xi was young, and now appeared to only have Qi Refining cultivation, it was impossible for others to feel guarded against her.

Thus, Feng Xi soon coaxed quite a bit of information out of them.

For example, the demon delegation had already left the Yan Clan three days ago, and the one leading them, Li Nanshi, seemed rather unhappy.

The Yan Emperor had three sons, and among them, the eldest prince Helian Lichuan had the highest chance of inheriting the throne.

The four protectors, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, were outwardly harmonious but inwardly at odds, and had always fought openly and secretly…

Of course, the servants’ original words definitely weren’t like this. This was what Feng Xi pieced together and inferred from their scattered information.

After Feng Xi had gathered almost enough information, she rewarded them with a few small objects and sent them away.

It wasn’t that she was stingy, but if she gave too much, it might arouse others’ suspicion.

Just as Feng Xi was preparing to meditate and cultivate, the little black ball said sneakily, “Master, before this, I’ve only ever absorbed spiritual qi and demonic qi. I still haven’t tasted the flavor of nightmare qi.

Just now, I ate a little bit, and it’s actually quite delicious!

I want to collect a tiny bit to take back and slowly digest. Is that okay?”

Feng Xi thought that this wasn’t a problem at all and nodded, “Alright.”

The little black ball happily began devouring the nightmare qi.

In the room next door, Jiang Ji and Jun Wen were both feeling groggy because they weren’t used to the Ruins Realm’s spiritual qi.

But for some reason, they suddenly felt comfortable!

And… very comfortable.

Huh? Why did the Ruins Realm’s spiritual qi suddenly feel richer than that of the human territory?

It was even richer than the spiritual qi in some secret realms!

Since that’s the case, of course they couldn’t waste it!

Thus, the two of them no longer cared about resting and began sitting cross-legged to cultivate.

In the room next to them, Jing Yan and Pei Zhou also noticed this and quickly got up to cultivate.

In the room next to the next room next to that, Qin Shifeng and Xing Wu looked at each other and also began cultivating…
