“Brother Chu Feng, this place is too creepy. I’m a bit scared.” Kong Tianhui hid behind Chu Feng.
“Look at you, so spineless. Don’t worry, with me here, there’s nothing to fear.”
“Have you forgotten what a world spiritist does?”
“World spiritists specialize in dealing with these sinister things,” Chu Feng said.
“Brother Chu Feng, I’m counting on you then. I haven’t lived enough yet—I’m still a virgin!” Kong Tianhui said.
“You? A virgin?” Chu Feng looked skeptical.
“Today, I’m still a virgin,” Kong Tianhui said.
“Damn it, get lost!”
Chu Feng really wanted to punch Kong Tianhui in the face a few times.
This guy was just too shameless.
The two continued forward, and within this underground world, they came across a cavern.
The eerie green light was emanating from that cavern.
Following the cavern, it grew wider and wider until they reached its end.
The end appeared to be a cliff.
“My goodness, what is that?”
At that moment, Kong Tianhui let out a scream.
At the end of the cavern, a figure appeared.
It was a silhouette—a woman’s silhouette.
She wore a long red dress and had long black hair.
Facing away from Chu Feng and Kong Tianhui, bathed in the faint green light, she looked extremely eerie and indeed quite terrifying.
It wasn’t just Kong Tianhui who was startled; even Chu Feng tensed up upon seeing her.
Chu Feng had been following the aura of the Heaven and Earth Treasure, but along the way, he hadn’t sensed this woman’s presence at all.
Although the aura of the Heaven and Earth Treasure was nearby, Chu Feng was certain that this woman was not the treasure.
Thus, he was filled with caution towards her.
“My goodness, are Heaven and Earth Treasures this scary now?”
“She looks like a female ghost—too terrifying, too terrifying.” Kong Tianhui was trembling with fear.
Roar—
Suddenly, a strange cry echoed from all directions.
The woman, who had been facing away from them, turned to her right.
At that moment, her profile became visible to Chu Feng and Kong Tianhui.
Though it was only a side view, even Chu Feng’s gaze shifted.
Bright eyes, long lashes, a high nose bridge, and perfect red lips.
Beautiful—this woman was truly stunning.
At the center of her forehead was a red mark, making her appear even more distinctive.
“Wow, she’s not a ghost—she’s a beauty!”
Seeing her face, Kong Tianhui’s jaw dropped, practically drooling.
He took a bold step forward and ran towards her.
As Kong Tianhui passed through the formation Chu Feng had set up, the woman immediately noticed him. She turned to him and let out an angry shout.
“Back off!”
Swoosh—
But then, the woman leaped into the air.
Roar—
Following her, a piercing roar resounded.
A massive creature suddenly emerged from the cliff below the cavern.
It resembled a whale, its body transparent and emitting a greenish glow. At that moment, it opened its massive mouth and lunged at the woman.
The woman reacted quickly, dodging to the side.
However, the creature didn’t give up. It released a powerful suction force.
The woman was unaffected by the suction, continuing to move away without getting any closer to the creature.
Though she wasn’t pulled in, Kong Tianhui, standing nearby, was sucked in.
“Damn it!”
Everything happened too fast. By the time Chu Feng reacted, Kong Tianhui had already been swallowed into the creature’s belly.
After absorbing Kong Tianhui, the creature turned and dove back into the cliff.
Seeing this, Chu Feng hurriedly gave chase, but the creature was too fast, and he couldn’t keep up.
Following its aura, Chu Feng pursued it until he arrived at a vast sea.
Waves roared, boundless and endless—this sea in the underground world was eerie.
It wasn’t ordinary seawater; it was a sea of toxic liquid.
“This is bad.”
“Has Kong Tianhui been eaten just like that?” Chu Feng frowned, his face showing unconcealed worry.
“Is that your friend?”
At that moment, the woman’s voice suddenly rang out.
Turning around, Chu Feng saw the stunning beauty in the red dress standing behind him, silent and unnoticed.
“You can see me?”
Chu Feng was surprised, as he was still enveloped by the concealment formation.
But the woman’s gaze was fixed on him, suggesting she could indeed see him.
She didn’t answer his question, instead saying directly, “Do you want to save him?”
“Yes.” Chu Feng nodded, and with a wave of his sleeve, the concealment formation around him dissipated.
Since she could see him, there was no need for the formation.
“If you want to save him, work with me,” the woman said.
“Alright, how do we work together?” Chu Feng asked.
“I’ll lure it out, and you use a formation to trap it.”
“As a Saint-cloak World Spiritist, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?” she asked.
“Once we catch it, how do we split it?” Chu Feng asked.
“Half each,” she said.
“Deal,” Chu Feng said.
“Then set up your formation.” With that, she sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and seemed to enter cultivation.
Chu Feng couldn’t sense her aura or discern her cultivation level. He concluded she must possess a powerful treasure that concealed her aura—one so strong that even he, a Saint-cloak World Spiritist, couldn’t see through it.
Of course, there was another possibility: despite her youthful appearance, she could be an extremely powerful being with years of cultivation.
But Chu Feng didn’t dwell on these thoughts. Instead, he immediately began setting up a formation to trap and refine the Heaven and Earth Treasure.
Based on his estimation, the treasure had taken Kong Tianhui, but Kong Tianhui likely wouldn’t die immediately. Still, they needed to find the creature quickly, or Kong Tianhui’s life would be in danger.
The Heaven and Earth Treasure was formidable. Even with Chu Feng’s full effort, it took half an hour to complete the formation.
Seeing the formation was ready, the woman suddenly stood and asked Chu Feng, “Done?”
“Done,” Chu Feng nodded.
“Wait here. I’ll lure it out,” she said.
“Lure it out?” Chu Feng was surprised.
But the woman ignored him and walked straight towards the sea of toxic liquid.
“Hey!!!”
Chu Feng was about to warn her of the sea’s danger.
But then he saw her palm brush over her Qiankun Bag, producing a talisman. Chu Feng could tell it was a protective talisman—and a powerful one.
Buzz—
As expected, she activated the talisman, which transformed into red flames. The flames spread, forming a barrier that enveloped her.
Then, she jumped into the sea.
“Girl, that Heaven and Earth Treasure is quite formidable. I might need your help later,” Chu Feng said to Yusha.
“Alright,” Yusha replied.
Chu Feng then prepared himself, waiting for the woman to lure out the treasure so he could unleash a decisive strike with his formation.
Splash—
Before long, the once-calm sea began to churn with towering waves.
The waves grew fiercer, as if thousands of creatures were stirring within.
Boom—
Suddenly, a massive wave shot into the sky, and the Heaven and Earth Treasure reappeared.
Since it was transparent, Chu Feng could see Kong Tianhui still inside its belly.
He was still breathing, his body intact. Though unconscious, he seemed unharmed.
Despite expecting this, Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief seeing Kong Tianhui safe.
