He didn't even know about the joint statement issued by the Luoxia Valley and the
The reason was simple — after leaving Luoxia Valley that day, Chu Feng had headed straight for one place: Luoyan Ridge.
Though Luoyan Ridge lay outside the Eight Desolations Mass Grave, it was actually a vast expanse of territory in its own right.
Numerous powers had established themselves around the ridge's perimeter, and some of them were no weaker than the Luyang Pavilion or the Red Butterfly Association.
And yet, despite the demonic woman's constant prowl around Luoyan Ridge, not a single one of those powers had managed to capture her.
Word had it that the reason she had once been driven into the Eight Desolations Mass Grave was because those forces had jointly hired a powerful expert, which had thrown the demonic woman into a panic and sent her fleeing into the graveyard.
But after the ruins within the Eight Desolations Mass Grave were discovered, everyone became too preoccupied to bother with the demonic woman. Seizing the opportunity, she had audaciously returned to Luoyan Ridge.
It was said that the powers near the ridge had been trying to capture her all this time, but — just as before — they remained utterly helpless against her.
And now, atop a place called Heavenly Wolf Peak within Luoyan Ridge, a figure stood alone.
That figure was none other than Chu Feng.
In truth, Chu Feng had already been at Luoyan Ridge for quite some days. After conducting his own investigation, he discovered that although the demonic woman lingered around the ridge, she only ever appeared in a handful of specific locations.
Over the past few days, the demonic woman had surfaced several times, but Chu Feng had never managed to cross paths with her.
Through his own deductions, Chu Feng had determined that her next likely appearance would be right here at Heavenly Wolf Peak. He intended to lie in wait.
However, standing atop Heavenly Wolf Peak, Chu Feng found himself pondering a question.
He suspected that the demonic woman kept circling these specific spots because she was searching for something, and that her habit of devouring men was merely something she did along the way.
That was why he was so curious — what on earth was the demonic woman looking for, that she could so completely disregard the endless pursuit targeting her?
"I don't see anything out of the ordinary?" Chu Feng activated his Heavenly Eyes for a closer look, only to grow even more puzzled.
Heavenly Wolf Peak was no different from the other places the demonic woman frequented — there was nothing special about it. Chu Feng couldn't fathom what kind of treasure could possibly be hidden in a place like this.
"Could I be wrong? Could the demonic woman have other reasons for appearing at these spots, unrelated to searching for anything?"
*Sigh, if only my Queen were here. At least she could help me analyze this.*
Chu Feng murmured to himself. Though he said as much, he actually didn't want the Queen to awaken too soon.
The formation he had previously set up was meant to help restore the Queen's body — the longer she slept, the better it would be for her recovery.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Chu Feng's gaze sharpened. Through his Heavenly Eyes, he could see a group of people flying toward this location from the distance.
The group consisted of both young men and women, all of them young. The eldest appeared to be only a few decades old, while the youngest was roughly Chu Feng's age. They all wore identical attire, suggesting they hailed from the same power.
Though they were all juniors, their cultivation was miles behind Chu Feng's. Chu Feng was, by all accounts, a fourth-grade Half Ancestor at this point, yet among this group, every single one of them was still at the Martial Emperor realm. The strongest among them was only a fifth-grade Martial Emperor.
The group was chatting and laughing, apparently discussing something.
With nothing better to do, Chu Feng decided to listen in on their conversation to see if it had anything to do with the demonic woman. Using a special technique, their words became crystal clear in his ears.
"
"Don't you worry,
"Oh, stop it. With your level of cultivation, you think you can handle the demonic woman? If you actually saw her, I bet you'd run faster than anyone," the women burst into laughter, then turned their gazes back to the man at the front. "Now, if Senior Brother Liao said he'd protect us, we'd actually believe that."
Hearing this, the so-called Senior Brother Liao's lips curved into a confident smirk. "Don't worry. As long as I'm around, no one will lay a hand on you."
The moment those words left his mouth, the several women were visibly delighted, growing positively effusive as they showered Senior Brother Liao with endless praise.
