Chapter 53

From the ground emerged a person!

After the mud slowly solidified, it formed a bald man in his mid-twenties. Though his appearance was rather ordinary, he had a simple and honest look on his face.

"Tu Zheng, I thought you weren't coming."

Upon seeing the person, Zhan Bai seemed quite pleased. Qin Feng briefly sensed and knew the answer: Tu Zheng was at the Fifth Stage of the Human Gang Realm and was a genuine Heavenly Cultivator who had comprehended the natural power of the earth's mud. Among those present, apart from Zhan Bai, Tu Zheng was likely the most powerful.

Of course, Qin Feng was an exception.

Qin Feng had actually sensed Tu Zheng underground long before he appeared, but he didn't say anything.

Therefore, when Tu Zheng appeared, Qin Feng didn't show much surprise.

Zhan Bai seemed to know and gave Qin Feng a meaningful look without saying a word.

Tu Zheng was rather straightforward. After appearing, he touched his bald head and said awkwardly, "Sorry everyone, I'm a bit late."

"Hey, Little Zheng, it's good that you came! Have you been thinking about your sister lately?"

Unexpectedly, Huayang from the Hundred Flowers Valley swayed over, lifted her skirt, and made a seductive pose, placing her hand on Tu Zheng's shoulder and teasing him.

Tu Zheng quickly closed his eyes, muttering to himself about his sins.

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was lively. It seemed that Huayang often teased the honest Tu Zheng.

However, it was clear that Tu Zheng still liked Huayang a lot.

Just as everyone was still laughing, a deep and loud leopard roar sounded from outside the temple. In the next moment, a sleek snow leopard darted in, weaving through the crowd until it reached everyone.

"Shi Daoyou has also arrived."

As Zhan Bai spoke, the white leopard slowly transformed into a person, lying on the ground, wearing a white fur outfit, exuding a wild and beautiful charm.

With flowing long hair, a sharp chin, and bright blue eyes, she seemed to have a soulful, watery gaze.

"Damn!" Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed.

Such a uniquely wild and beautiful woman had a fatal allure to men, which was evident from the expressions of the men present. Even Tu Zheng couldn't resist opening his eyes to take a few more looks, which made Huayang pinch his ear in anger.

"Ouch, be gentle, be gentle! I'll close my eyes, okay!"

Tu Zheng's miserable state caused everyone to laugh again. At this moment, the snow leopard beauty stood up, her tall and curvaceous figure far surpassing Huayang's. She looked around and finally fixed her gaze on Qin Feng, who was sitting in the corner.

She walked over to Qin Feng in a cat-like gait, sniffing him with her small nose, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and asked, "Zhan Bai, who is this Daoyou? His aura is very strange..."

At such close proximity, observing such a lethal beauty, Qin Feng felt his nose start to bleed.

Fortunately, Zhan Bai came to his rescue.

"Alright, Shi Yuan. This is Brother Qin Feng, who came with me."

"Shi Yuan? What a nice name!"

For the first time, Qin Feng felt that a girl's name matched her so well.

"Brother Qin Feng, Shi Yuan is a disciple of the Hundred Beasts Mountain. She can transform her body using the powers of her birth beast, and she is at the Third Stage of the Human Gang Realm. This is Brother Qin Feng, a disciple of the Qin family in Luoyang Town. You two should get to know each other."

Zhan Bai introduced them seriously, and Shi Yuan extended her hand gracefully, "Hello, I'm Shi Yuan, nice to meet you!"

"Qin Feng!"

Qin Feng didn't hesitate, shaking Shi Yuan's soft and boneless hand gently.

She seemed to notice his small action, and her little nose twitched as she withdrew her hand.

With his hand suspended in mid-air, Qin Feng smiled awkwardly.

Everyone laughed again.

Men, after all, can be understood.

With the addition of two more people, the number of people present increased from seven to nine.

Five men, four women!

But only Qin Feng knew that among the five men, Qin Hu was a fake, and among the four women... Qin Feng wasn't quite sure, as their disguise techniques were too advanced.

She was a demon in human skin!

Real human skin, no doubt!

However, fakes would eventually be exposed. Some things can't be faked, it just takes time to discover.

While Qin Feng was observing coldly, Zhan Bai's expression turned serious, and he instructed everyone to be quiet as he had something to say.

This time, Zhan Bai's expression was quite solemn.

The change in Zhan Bai's expression made the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly tense. Everyone knew that what Zhan Bai was about to say was the main topic.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

After clearing his throat, Zhan Bai looked around and finally spoke, "This expedition is very dangerous. I can't say exactly how dangerous it is, but I can infer that it might be life-threatening! We might all lose our lives in this Blood Fork Temple! You are all my long-time friends, and I don't want any of you to die. So, if anyone wants to withdraw, it's still in time. I, Zhan Bai, will have no objections. If I am still alive after today, we will still be friends!"

After speaking, Zhan Bai looked around.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, and there was some hesitation in everyone's eyes.

After all, this expedition might cost their lives, and these nine people were mostly the top young talents of various sects and families. If they grew up safely, they would achieve significant success in their respective sects and families. There was no need to risk their lives and ruin their bright futures.

However, everyone has desires and pursuits!

Some are driven by curiosity, others by treasure... So, after everyone looked at each other, surprisingly, no one chose to withdraw.

Zhan Bai was quite relieved!

Regardless of the reasons why no one withdrew, at least these people had courage, and it wasn't in vain for Zhan Bai to be friends with them. He nodded and continued, "Good! Since no one is withdrawing, let's go in and explore. Let's see what mysterious secrets are hidden in this Blood Fork Temple."

"Good!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone's morale was boosted, Zhan Bai pressed on, "Since that's the case, let's follow the old rules. Once inside, everyone must follow my orders. If the situation turns bad, Tu Zheng and I will stay behind to cover the retreat. If we successfully obtain the treasure, we will divide it according to the old rules: those who contribute the most will have the first pick. Any questions?"

"No questions!"

"No questions, let's do it!"

Clearly, this wasn't the first time they had cooperated on an expedition, so there were no unpleasant incidents when setting the rules, and everyone's fighting spirit was instantly high.

"Alright, let's enter the temple!"

Although Qin Feng and the others were already within the Blood Fork Temple's area, they were only in the outer region. The true temple was the Blood Fork Hall in front of them.

Perhaps calling it a hall was a bit inaccurate. The main hall of the temple was in a state of extreme disrepair and abandonment.

At least from the outside, it looked like it hadn't been repaired for at least a thousand years.

After Zhan Bai gave the order, he and Tu Zheng led the way.

Everyone looked at each other and followed one after another. Qin Feng, being the weakest, was "cared for" by the others and walked at the back.

The main door of the hall was actually closed, but due to its age, one of the doors was skewed, leaving a gap large enough for a person to pass through.

After everyone entered, Qin Feng pursed his lips and looked back at the sky. The moon, for some reason, was turning from bright white to dark red, which was quite eerie.

"Blood Moon Night!"

"A bad omen! This journey will surely bring more harm than good!"

Shaking his head, Qin Feng still bent down and entered the temple.
