"Senior, Luan Jie has probably gone to find the Moon Demon," Chu Feng said.
"To find the Moon Demon? Could it be that they really intend to control the Moon Demon and make it serve them?" Hearing this, even the Weapon Refining Immortal had a look of disbelief on his face.
"As inconceivable as it sounds, that does appear to be the case. I can faintly sense the Moon Demon's location, and I noticed earlier that the direction where Luan Jie's aura disappeared is exactly where the Moon Demon currently is."
"He has definitely gone to find the Moon Demon. And don't forget — they were able to control even ancient Fierce Beasts that possessed no intelligence," Chu Feng said.
"That's right. The Dark Hall knows many secrets of the Martial Continent — even more than the Ancient Spirits."
"And Luan Jie, like his father, is a Dragon-veined Spirit World Master who was also a dazzling genius of the Martial Continent back in the day."
"Only later was he sidelined by his father, so no one knows what realm he actually reached."
"Today, upon his reappearance, his cultivation is already enough to rival the two of us. I'm afraid his barrier techniques have already surpassed mine as well," the Weapon Refining Immortal said.
"Young friend Chu Feng, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you to lead the way. We absolutely cannot let Luan Jie succeed," the Ancient Spirits' Protector said.
As for Chu Feng, he swept his gaze over the ongoing battle and discovered that although the Ancient Spirits had not yet gained an absolute advantage, they were no longer at a disadvantage — in fact, they even held a certain edge. Under these circumstances, Chu Feng could put his mind at ease.
With that, Chu Feng's figure surged forward as he soared through the air.
Seeing this, the Weapon Refining Immortal and that Protector immediately followed close behind.
Raaaargh!!!
At that moment, the Moon Demon's savage, ghost-like roars still echoed endlessly from every direction, as if it were present at every point around them. But Chu Feng was able to precisely determine the Moon Demon's actual location.
Although it appeared that the three of them were giving chase, in reality there were five people, because Su Rou and Su Mei had been traveling behind the Weapon Refining Immortal the entire time, protected by a powerful barrier formed from multiple supreme treasures.
That barrier was formidable — even if the Weapon Refining Immortal was injured, it would not break. This showed just how much the Weapon Refining Immortal valued Su Rou and Su Mei.
"Mm—"
However, suddenly, the faces of both Su Rou and Su Mei turned grim, their expressions twisted in pain.
"Xiao Rou, Xiao Mei, what's wrong?"
Although Chu Feng was at the very front, the moment he heard Su Rou and Su Mei's cries of pain, he immediately turned around and came to the space behind the Weapon Refining Immortal, right in front of Su Rou and Su Mei.
"Chu Feng, we... we're fine," Su Rou said, forcing herself to endure the pain, yet cold sweat was already pouring down her face and her complexion had clearly gone wrong.
At that moment, Chu Feng discovered that within the bodies of Su Rou and Su Mei, blue and red lights respectively began to flicker — it was the Ice-Fire Beads causing trouble.
"You're like this and you still say you're fine?" Chu Feng realized that the Ice-Fire Beads were torturing them, that the beads had begun to lose control.
"This is bad! The Ice-Fire Beads belong to the Moon Demon — it must be because the Moon Demon has appeared, affecting the Ice-Fire Beads and making them unstable. Young friend Chu Feng, we must extract the Ice-Fire Beads immediately, otherwise Su Rou and Su Mei could die," the Weapon Refining Immortal said with great worry.
And as he spoke, he had already dissolved the formation and released Su Rou and Su Mei.
