"Yes, I don't know."
Ru Feng shook his head. He slowly extended his arm, which, under the sunlight, seemed to shimmer with a thin mist. "My body is changing."
Chu Lingwei looked at Ru Feng. He was supposed to be a remnant soul, but as time passed in the Linglong Ravine, he had gradually become substantial.
Now, his body was weakening. It was possible that one day, his body would completely disappear.
"Do you really feel nothing? Didn't you say that not just anyone could break the curse of the Linglong Ravine?" Chu Lingwei took a step forward, looking at Ru Feng's arm, her eyes full of questions.
"By the time I opened my eyes, the curse of the Linglong Ravine was already broken, and the barrier above had completely vanished."
Ru Feng sighed and looked towards the Linglong Ravine. "This is no longer the Linglong Ravine I once guarded. It will be destroyed soon."
With the disappearance of the barrier above the Linglong Ravine, powerful cultivators from the entire Xuanyuan Continent came searching for the Nine-tailed Ice Fish. The Linglong Ravine was no longer dangerous; only the bloodstains left by the cultivators of the Xuanyuan Continent remained.
"Do you want to go down and see?" Ru Feng turned his head. Vivi had spent so much time in the Linglong Ravine; he wondered if she still wanted to see its appearance.
Chu Lingwei lowered her gaze. The opening of the Linglong Ravine's barrier must have had a reason.
"Alright, I'll go down and take a look."
As Chu Lingwei finished speaking, she stepped onto her bronze ancient sword and flew towards the Linglong Ravine.
Seeing Chu Lingwei's figure disappear, a subtle smile flashed in Ru Feng's eyes, and he quickly followed.
Upon reaching the Linglong Ravine, the aura of powerful cultivators assaulted them. There were at least seven or eight Grandmasters or higher-level powerhouses here.
Chu Lingwei used her divine artifact to conceal her aura and flew directly towards the Zisheng Lake.
"Vivi, do you still remember this place?"
There was a barrier around Zisheng Lake, and the cultivators outside had not yet discovered its existence.
Chu Lingwei did not want those cultivators to know about this place within the Linglong Ravine. If the secret of Zisheng Lake were discovered, she could not imagine what this place would become.
Suddenly, Chu Lingwei's heart pounded.
Zisheng Lake could help cultivators improve their cultivation, which seemed to be the same function as the lake in Jingliang Forest.
Chu Lingwei suddenly turned her head and looked at Ru Feng, who was standing behind her. "Ru Feng, what exactly is this place?"
"Chu Lingwei, if you stay here, you will definitely achieve ascension."
Ru Feng's gaze was lifeless, devoid of the affection he had shown when he first met Chu Lingwei.
"You are not Ru Feng. Who are you?"
Chu Lingwei took a step back, her bronze ancient sword clutched tightly in her hand, staring at the person wearing Ru Feng's skin.
Or, more accurately, the person in front of her was not human.
"You guessed it so quickly?" Ru Feng chuckled mysteriously at Chu Lingwei's question. "You will know who I am in the future."
Facing a different Ru Feng, Chu Lingwei actually calmed down.
She had always known that her whereabouts were being tracked.
"You are the one who has been following me?" Chu Lingwei began to circulate her spiritual energy, ready to counterattack quickly if the person before her made any move.
"You are very smart."
Ru Feng's gaze suddenly turned sharp, his eyes overflowing with dark mist.
"You are a demon."
Chu Lingwei exclaimed in surprise. She had been to the demon realm and knew the aura of demons.
"Demon?"
Ru Feng laughed upon hearing the title. "It's been a long time since I heard that name. How interesting."
"You are a demon!"
Chu Lingwei stared at Ru Feng again. Ru Feng was a remnant soul, and this person could inhabit Ru Feng's body, something that cultivators could not do.
"Demon?"
The demon in front of her clearly heard the title, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes. A powerful demonic energy erupted towards Chu Lingwei.
Although Chu Lingwei was prepared, the powerful demonic energy still trapped her, rendering her immobile.
"Vivi." Feng Ming, who had been waiting in the space, cried out anxiously. "Vivi, this is ancient demonic power."
Chu Lingwei resisted the pressure from Ru Feng with her spiritual energy while a big question mark formed in her mind.
Ancient demonic power. She had never even heard of it.
"Vivi, this is ancient demonic power, much stronger than the demons of the Xuanyuan Continent, second only to divine power." Feng Ming wanted to leave the space, but Chu Lingwei blocked him. He could only explain to her, "Vivi, let me out, I have a way to deal with him."
"Senior, may I know why I would die?"
Chu Lingwei quickly analyzed. The demon before her knew her and lured her here using Ru Feng's appearance. He couldn't possibly want her life so quickly.
Chu Lingwei knew her identity; she was at most the Saintess of the Phoenix Clan. If this person was from the ancient demon race, he had no reason to trouble a mere Hua Tian Realm cultivator like her.
The only explanation was that his true target was her senior brother, Leng Xingzhi.
"You will not die."
Ru Feng withdrew his demonic energy and took a step forward, immobilizing Chu Lingwei. "Tell me, where is Xuanyuan?"
As expected, he was after her senior brother.
"I don't know Xuanyuan."
Chu Lingwei flatly denied it.
"Heh heh."
Ru Feng let out a chilling laugh. "Do you really think he would become dao companions with a cultivator from a lower realm? Women are truly easy to deceive."
Listening to the words of the person before her, Chu Lingwei's guess about her senior brother was confirmed. Her senior brother truly did not belong here.
"Are you talking about my senior brother?"
"Xuanyuan will die soon. He will give you all his spiritual energy to control, merely to have your body." Ru Feng's voice was icy, and his lips curled into a sneer. "He only covets your body."
"You are spouting nonsense."
Chu Lingwei hated nothing more than slander. She had interacted with her senior brother extensively and believed she could discern his character. His feelings for her didn't seem fake.
"I will kill you."
The bronze ancient sword in her hand flew into the air. Space power was imbued into the sword, causing the entire Linglong Ravine to tremble violently.
"What use is a divine artifact? A cultivator from a lower realm has no ability to wield it."
Ru Feng's eyes were filled with mockery. A mortal obtaining a divine artifact was not necessarily a good thing.
Xuanyuan Burning Fire.
Nine Heavens Nine Forms.
Chu Lingwei did not take his words to heart. Whether she had the ability or not was not for him to say, but to be proven by action.
"Take this."
Chu Lingwei leaped forward. Simultaneously, Shui Yi and the Illusion Cat Feng Ming appeared, encircling Ru Feng.
Meanwhile.
Inside the space.
Yu Qinghong and Li Chen's eyes were filled with anxiety. All the spiritual energy in the space had been drained by Leng Xingzhi. Even the spiritual energy from the spiritual herbs, immortal medicines, and magical artifacts within the space seemed to have grown legs and rushed into Leng Xingzhi's body.
