"Let’s keep moving forward, can’t wait any longer."
Everyone: "..."
Only now did they realize, they really can’t wait any longer; in this place, standing still for too long is not an option.
"Let’s go. Lu Tianfeng will catch up."
Everyone continued to move forward. The two spiritual beasts looked at them, then at each other, and had no choice but to follow along.
"Are you talking about our grandfather? Will he co here too?"
To say they weren’t worried would be a lie. They were most afraid of the old ancestral leader; if they encountered him again, they would definitely be killed.
"Don’t worry, we’ll protect you and won’t let you get hurt." Lin Caisang promised.
It’s best for the old ancestral leader not to follow Lu Tianfeng in doing evil, otherwise, they will never let him go. Lu Tianfeng’s wickedness is tolerated for the sake of the larger picture, but it’s different with the old ancestor.
"Really?"
The two spiritual beasts’ eyes lit up upon hearing her words.
If that were true, then they could feel secure, and they’d stick with her in the future. After all, her space contains so many delicious things, they haven’t had their fill yet.
...
Ti slowly passed.
On the other side, Lu Tianfeng, due to the continuous silent descent of ice columns, didn’t dare linger in one place for too long either.
"Wait, wait."
Just as Lu Tianfeng was dragging the old ancestral leader, trying to hurry forward, he suddenly heard the old leader’s voice.
"What do you want now?" Lu Tianfeng glanced coldly at him and asked.
"I... I seem to sll the scent of those two unfilial grandchildren; the artifact is in their hands, we must retrieve it." The old leader quickly said.
Though he loathed the human before him,
his own life was most important. Obtaining the artifact to ensure his safety was the imdiate priority.
"What?!"
Upon hearing his words, Lu Tianfeng felt a sudden joy.
Doesn’t this an Lin Caisang and the others are nearby? If he finds them and gets the artifact, does it an he can obtain the Talisman of Corpse Suppression?
However, he didn’t believe rely getting the artifact would earn him the Talisman of Corpse Suppression. This old creature must have other important roles.
He likely knows so things but hasn’t disclosed them yet.
Thinking this, he reached out and grabbed the old leader.
"Speak, is there anything else you haven’t told about this forbidden forest? If you reveal it now, I might let you leave here alive. If you refuse, I’ll tie you up here so you can’t move!"
"You—"
The old leader was nearly enraged to death by his words.
He had just shared news about his grandchildren with this human, yet now the human was threatening him, wanting him to divulge secrets only he knew.
Don’t think he doesn’t understand—if he reveals all those secrets, once the artifact is found, his life will be unnecessary, and death would be certain!
After so many years as the clan leader, he’s not a fool, right?
"I truly don’t know, regarding this forbidden forest, none of the spiritual beasts of Qianji Pond know anything; we’re prohibited from coming here, so how could we know what’s inside?"
He feigned innocence as he spoke to Lu Tianfeng.
Thinking he could learn his secrets—it’s impossible. He’s not going to reveal them so easily.
