Seeing this situation, Chen Fei frowned slightly and asked, "Clan Leader Liu, just say what you need to say."
"Master Chen, this is..." Liu Zheng hesitated for a while upon hearing this and finally gritted his teeth, saying, "Master Chen, it's like this, there's a problem over at Azure Dragon Ravine."
"A problem over at Azure Dragon Ravine? What's the problem?" Chen Fei frowned again.
Liu Zheng looked at the slightly troubled Chen Fei, his face twitching slightly, and said, "It's like this, Master Quann, following your instructions, visited four or five Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm experts with loose cultivator status in our Eagle Gorge and surrounding areas. Among them, two were successfully persuaded by Master Quann and expressed willingness to visit you at Canglan Island, but..."
At this, Liu Zheng paused slightly and then continued, "But when Master Quann was leading those two back to Eagle Gorge, while making the final stop at Azure Dragon Ravine, a problem suddenly arose."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei's expression changed slightly, but he remained silent, quietly waiting for Liu Zheng to continue.
Seeing this situation, Liu Zheng did not hesitate and continued, "At Azure Dragon Ravine, there was actually also another of Master Quann's final targets! That is the renowned rogue powerhouse in our Eagle Gorge area, Elder Duanmu."
"Elder Duanmu?" Chen Fei murmured softly upon hearing this, "It seems the problem lies with him?"
"Yes."
Liu Zheng nodded, smiled bitterly, and said, "Elder Duanmu also expressed interest in eting you, Master Chen, but he was unwilling to personally move to Canglan Island. Moreover, it seems he even persuaded those two to stay behind at Azure Dragon Ravine..."
Upon hearing this, a hint of understanding flashed in Chen Fei's eyes.
He finally understood what was going on.
It was nothing more than Elder Duanmu possibly having sothing requiring an alchemist's help, but he didn't want to be led by the nose right from the start, lowering his stature and falling into a disadvantage...
So he used this thod, trying to give Chen Fei a slight show of power.
It's just like a business negotiation, a back-and-forth, neither side willing to fall into a disadvantage without cause. It's understandable.
"Where's Quann Zhenyi?" So, Chen Fei's eyes flickered as he asked.
"Master Quann is detained by Elder Duanmu at Azure Dragon Ravine. This is the news that just ca back, about half an hour ago." Liu Zheng smiled bitterly. What was this? Classic immortal confrontation, mortal suffering.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei was slightly taken aback, then his eyes turned sowhat gloomy.
Slight intimidation, he could still understand, but now that they had detained soone, wasn't this a bit too much?
Click, click, click...
Thinking of this, Chen Fei tapped lightly and rhythmically on the armrest of the chair, his gaze flickering.
After a mont, he suddenly turned his head and asked Cang Kun and Blue Whale, "What background does Elder Duanmu have? Do you two know?"
"We know a bit."
Taoist Cang Kun nodded slightly and said, "Besides Lord of Azure Dragon Ravine Ruan Qinglong, as far as I know, there are three Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm loose cultivator experts residing in Azure Dragon Ravine. Among these three, Elder Duanmu should be considered mid-range. However, he is much more formidable than Taoist Yu Tan of Cloud Dragon Mountain."
"Is that so?"
Chen Fei nodded as if realizing sothing, then suddenly asked, "What is the Cultivation Realm of Ruan Qinglong, Lord of Azure Dragon Ravine?"
"This, I'm not sure, but... it should at least be above the Second Heavenly Layer of the Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm."
Taoist Cang Kun wasn't very certain and then, as if suddenly rembering sothing, said, "Before, a Peak of First Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm expert from another area went to Azure Dragon Ravine, relying on his strength to cause a scene, and as a result, no one has seen him since."
"Is there such a thing?" Hearing this, Chen Fei was slightly stunned, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.
"Yes. Master Chen, I have also heard of this matter before. It's indeed true." Liu Zheng, who also seed to have heard of this matter, interjected.
"Then it seems we'll have to be a bit more cautious on this trip..." Hearing this, Chen Fei squinted his eyes, murmuring with a smile.
Although this trip wasn't related to Ruan Qinglong, after all, Azure Dragon Ravine was his territory, so if anything happened, an encounter with him would be inevitable.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, feeling a slight sense of suffocation in his heart.
Originally, over the past half year, from scratch to controlling and establishing the Enlightened Deity Cave, to subduing Cang Kun and Blue Whale as subordinates, whom he considered invincible in the Qi Refining Realm, made him feel a bit proud!
But now, this bit of pride completely shattered after hearing Liu Zheng's words!
It may seem he commands attention in this part of the region, but in fact? It's trivial!
Otherwise, how could Elder Duanmu dare to detain his people?
Moreover, if he wasn't so weak now, why would he have to go through the trouble of approaching those Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm loose cultivators?
One must know that any renowned alchemist is usually sought after by followers, not the one actively seeking them out!
He, Chen Fei, is he really weaker than those so-called renowned alchemists?
And all of this is because his strength is not enough!
"I must quickly gain the combat power of the Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm, otherwise, I don't want to keep feeling so stifled..." With this in mind, Chen Fei couldn't help but make a loud decision in his heart.
If he could possess the combat power of the Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm, at least in this area, he wouldn't have to be so passive.
"Your progress is already fast enough, and your plan isn't a failure now. Maintain your original intention, I sense there's a problem with your mindset, you're a bit anxious." But at this mont, Zhen Jingkong's frowning voice suddenly ca from within his consciousness.
Speaking of which, he hadn't shown up for a long ti.
"My mindset? I understand... thank you." Hearing this, Chen Fei was startled, took a deep breath, and then finally suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.
Zhen Jingkong was right, his mindset indeed seed to have so issues now, too anxious. To put it plainly, it was a precursor to the formation of a heart demon.
"No need to thank . Don't forget, my life is still in your hands. As for Azure Dragon Ravine, go if you want, there's no need to be concerned about anything." In his consciousness, Zhen Jingkong said indifferently.
"Really? Alright, thank you, senior." Chen Fei's face lit up with joy. He wasn't foolish, how could he not hear that Zhen Jingkong was offering support?
Then he curiously asked in his heart: "Senior, has your soul recovered?"
"Not yet. But compared to when I first t you, it has recovered quite a bit, perhaps due to the abundant spiritual energy in this cultivation world?"
Zhen Jingkong murmured uncertainly and then continued, "Also, I know your mind is full of bizarre things. Do you know any secret techniques for instantly enhancing and bursting the strength of spiritual sense?"
"Secret techniques for instantly enhancing and bursting the strength of spiritual sense?" Chen Fei was slightly stunned, shook his head, and said, "I think I might know, maybe..."
"You really know?" Zhen Jingkong's voice in his consciousness was both numb and strange.
Of course, he was well aware that such secret techniques were extrely precious, priceless, sothing one could only co across by chance. Originally, he just wanted to ask casually, who knew...
Damn, just how much stuff does this kid have in his gut!?
Then he said indifferently, "Don't forget about the top grade magic artifact level demon puppet in the Octagonal Mystic Tower. It's controlled with spiritual sense. If your spiritual sense strength could et the minimum requirent, an ordinary Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm First Heavenly Layer might struggle against you. If you can't win, can you still not outrun them?"
"Demon puppet?" Hearing this, Chen Fei was taken aback, and then imdiately took out the top grade magic artifact demon puppet from the Octagonal Mystic Tower.
With a whoosh, a light flashed.
That plain-looking, miniature wooden doll-like demon puppet appeared in Chen Fei's hands.
But even so, as soon as the wooden doll appeared, the eyes of Cang Kun and Blue Whale behind him involuntarily narrowed slightly.
With their insight, how could they not see that this unremarkable wooden doll seed to be a remarkable treasure?
"Master, what is this thing?" Blue Whale Elder, always straightforward, couldn't help but ask curiously.
"M-Master!?"
But his words nearly caused Liu Zheng to bite off his own tongue in shock.
Goodness, gracious, what did he just hear?
Was he dreaming? Damn, this, this...
Once again, Liu Zheng looked at Chen Fei with a shiver, but after that shiver, there was a look of awe and worship! Goodness, he had misunderstood before, Cang Kun and Blue Whale, the two island masters, were not followers of Young Master Chen, but servants!?
Otherwise, why would Second Island Master Blue Whale so readily call Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, 'Master' now?
However, isn't this too incredible?
Master of the Grand Island Master and the Second Island Master, this, this, this feels like a dream.
"It's certainly a useful treasure. With this in hand, I feel much more at ease." Chen Fei smiled mysteriously and murmured to himself, squinting his eyes.
If not for Zhen Jingkong's reminder, he would have almost forgotten that he had such a fine treasure at hand.
"Alright, looks like we have to go." Then Chen Fei slowly stood up.
"Master Chen, are you leaving?" Liu Zheng exclaid.
"Yes."
Chen Fei got up, lifted his head, and looked in the direction of the Azure Dragon Ravine, thousands of miles away, his pitch-black eyes, as clear as glazed crystals, revealing a glint of brilliance! His hand clenched, then relaxed.
"Since they don't want to co, we have no choice but to go..."
