Mysterious and obscure

  Watching Jiale retreat, Du Fei just gave a cold laugh, but didn't continue chasing after him.

  After all, he wasn't sure if the other party had any other arrangements. If they could leave, that would be best. Of course, if they were willing to stay, he wouldn't mind either.

  He smiled faintly, and Du Fei's gaze slowly shifted to the three figures of Jiao Hao not far away. A sly smile immediately appeared on his face: "You three, go ahead and say what you know... If you don't speak up, I'll cripple your limbs and abandon you here. What happens to you afterwards, I, Du Fei, won't care!"

  Upon hearing this, Focal Three were shocked. Du Fei's strength had actually made that Jue Le retreat, which was something they absolutely did not expect. Furthermore, at this moment, they also understood a bit about Du Fei's body and the various rumors about him instantly flashed back to their minds.

  So, after hesitating for a moment, Jiao Hao clenched his teeth and said in a low voice: "Is it that if I tell you what I know, you'll let us go?"

  "Naturally, I, Du Fei, am a man of my word. If you have something to say, just say it directly. If I find out that you're deceiving me, you should know the consequences!" Du Fei smiled and nodded slowly.

  Upon hearing this, Jiao Hao's expression relaxed a bit, and after a moment, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "As for this matter, we don't know much about it either. However, a month before the gathering at the Xuan You Secret Realm, there were rumors circulating around the city that the three major families had found clues to locate the Xuan You Sect... At first, we just took it as a rumor and didn't plan on doing anything. But after entering the Xuan You Secret Realm, Mei Yue approached us and asked us to join forces to deal with Gong Sun Hong, saying that if we could obtain the inheritance of the Xuan You Sect, then we would split the benefits equally... That's all we know, as for the rest, it's not very clear."

  "So that's how it is. I thought you guys knew something big!" Du Fei curled his lip and said indifferently, "In that case, all of you can get out!"

  Upon hearing this, the three people's faces all slightly relaxed. They had been somewhat frightened by Du Fei's earlier words, but now that they heard he was letting them go, each of them felt a sense of relief and quickly scrambled to their feet.

  Looking in the direction of their retreat, Du Fei coldly laughed and suddenly darted forward, his right hand slightly moving, a dagger appeared in his hand, and before the three could react, he swiftly slashed their throats.

  Three people slowly turned around, with an incredulous expression covering their throats and fell to the ground. Du Fei slightly curled his lips and smiled lightly: "Have a good trip on the road to Huangquan!"

  He immediately turned a blind eye to them, only to turn around and cast a strange gaze that slowly fell on Gong Sunhong's body.

  Gongsun Hong was shocked by the scene in front of her, although she had long known that Du Fei was a ruthless and decisive person, but she didn't expect him to be so ruthless. After hesitating for a moment, she finally sighed and said, "You don't have to kill them, do you?"

  "Shouldn't you have killed them?" Du Fei smiled lightly, "So what do you think would have happened if I hadn't coincidentally passed by?"

  Upon hearing this, Gong Sun's face turned slightly pale, and after a moment, he slowly shook his head, saying nothing more.

  Gongsun Hong didn't say a word, and Du Fei also didn't say much. Instead, he casually found a place to sit down cross-legged and rest, regardless of anything else, the previous battle had been quite exhausting.

  While Du Fei started resting, Gong Sun Hong didn't say a word either. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the field became somewhat awkward and silent.

  "You... why did you save me?" Gong Sun Hong asked cautiously after a brief silence, looking at Du Fei with a sideways glance.

  Du Fei let out a sigh, looked up at Gong Sun Hong and smiled lightly, saying: "I don't have many weaknesses, but one of them is quite fatal - I don't like to see women cry. You can think that I saved you for my own peace of mind."

  Gongsun's face turned slightly red upon hearing this, and after a moment, he spoke in a low voice: "You've also come for the sake of the Xuan You Sect's legacy?"

  When she heard this, Du Fei hesitated for a moment before saying lightly: "I'll just tell you the truth, I happened to be passing by here, but I didn't come to investigate. As for the legacy of the Xuan You Sect and that sort of thing, I don't know anything about it."

  "It turns out to be like this......" After staring at Du Fei for a moment, Gong Sun Hong gritted his teeth slightly and said: "Originally, I wouldn't have told anyone about these things, but now that I've told you, consider it as repaying a favor."

  "It doesn't matter." Du Fei smiled slightly and said calmly.

  Upon seeing this, Gong Sun let out a sigh and didn't bother to acknowledge Du Fei's expression. Instead, he said calmly: "I suppose you also know something about the origins of this Mystic Void Secret Realm... I won't waste words on that. What I want to talk about is the inheritance of the Mystic Void Sect. It's said that decades ago, people in our city discovered the ruins of the Mystic Void Sect's sect gate, mostly located at the top of the Mystic Void Peak... However, there's a certain restriction within the peak that prevents anyone from unleashing more than their Seventh-Stage Body Tempering abilities before reaching the summit..."

  "Is it that once we reach the mountaintop, we can finally use our true strength?" Du Fei said in a low voice after rubbing his nose.

  "Yes," Gong Sun Hong nodded, "and then, probably about ten years ago, our Gong Sun family did have someone who climbed to the top of the mountain and found that the ruins of the Xuan You Sect were indeed at the top... However, he couldn't get anything from inside because there were also some restrictions in place at the site of the Xuan You Sect's sect ruins... But after many years, our Gong Sun family did discover some methods to break through the restrictions... However, for some reason, a month ago, all the major and minor powers around the city knew about this matter, and even the method to break through the restrictions was widely spread... I think your Du family should also know about it, so why you..."

  "I really didn't know." Du Fei clapped his hands, "I reckon I've been cultivating in secret all along, that's why I didn't know... But now that I do, this Xuanyou Peak Sect ruins site, no matter what, I'm going to go take a look... If you're interested, feel free to follow me."

  "This......" Gong Sun Hong hesitated, "But I haven't advanced to the rank of Martial Master yet, even if I reached the top of the mountain, it wouldn't be of much use..."

  "Aren't you still holding onto that thing that can break the seal? Without it, going up there would be useless!" Upon hearing this, Du Fei smiled slightly and said calmly.

  When Du Fei said this, Gong Sun Hong slowly nodded and acknowledged it.

  The next night, the two of them were on their way all the time. It turned out that Gong Sun's family was well-prepared. Along the way, as Gong Sun Hong advanced, there were no beasts, let alone any dangerous places.

  At this point, Du Fei couldn't help but sigh in agreement, having prepared was indeed correct.

  The Gong Sun family has been preparing for the inheritance of Xuan You Sect for many years, otherwise, there would not be such clear materials.

  "Once we pass this forest, it's the mountain peak. From there on, our powers will be restored... I don't know how many people have already arrived at the peak... But with the reputation of the Xuan You Sect's legacy, there shouldn't be a small number of people attracted to it..." Standing in front of the forest, Gong Sun Hong was worried and swung her white thighs back and forth.

  His gaze swept past intentionally or unintentionally, and after a moment, Du Fei smiled faintly, saying: "It doesn't matter, no matter who appears, with me here, you don't have to worry...... If that Jue Le dares to show up again, I'll take his life!"

  "Hmm!" After nodding slightly, Gong Sunhong led Du Fei and continued on their way forward.

  The forest in front of them wasn't very big, but after walking for a while, they had already reached the end.

  But what entered one's line of sight was a rather flat mountain top, and on the mountain top, ruins and relics could be seen everywhere.

  At the same time, Du Fei only felt a slight tremor throughout his body, and the originally sealed true energy seemed to have slowly started running as well.

  "Someone else is here!" The two were slowly scanning their surroundings, but suddenly, more than a dozen figures emerged from the shadows and crept out. Immediately, strange gazes fell on Du Fei and Gong Sun Hong one by one.

  "So it's Young Master Du and Miss Gong Sun!"

  Among the dozen or so people who suddenly appeared, the first one's gaze swept over them briefly, his eyes narrowing slightly, but a moment later he let out a cold laugh.

  "What a pity...... Such genius, such beauty...... Unfortunately, our young master has given the order that anyone who comes up the mountain will be killed instantly! You two, go reunite in the underworld!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, that bald-headed man suddenly swung his hand, and immediately more than a dozen people around him waved their ice blades and pounced on them.

  Upon witnessing this scene, Gong Sunhong's face indeed changed slightly, although she also knew that the struggle for the inheritance of Xuan You Sect would be extremely fierce, but she didn't expect it to be this severe.

  "A bunch of trash, what's there to be afraid of?"

  Seeing this, Du Fei smiled slowly and took a step forward. In an instant, his aura spread out all over his body.

  But in an instant, Du Fei had recovered the strength of a 9th rank martial artist. This level of power caused the people who were originally about to pounce on him to stiffen their bodies.

  These people are mostly only at the ninth level of Body Tempering, and compared to Du Fei, they're simply no match!

  "What are you waiting for? The young master has already given a strict order. Taking advantage of him just going up the mountain, his strength hasn't fully recovered yet. If we make a move now, there's still a chance. If we wait any longer to make a move, it'll be us who end up dead!"

  The atmosphere solidified for a moment, and then the leader let out a low growl.

  "How dare you retreat on your own! Kill! Kill Du Fei and Gong Sun Hong! Reward! Don't forget, young master promised us that the inheritance of Xuan You Sect will be shared among all of us!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, the breathing of over a dozen people around him suddenly quickened...
