"Rest assured, your family will be saved. But do you know anything else?" the Snow-Haired Immortal asked.
"After the Heavenly Dao Palace and the Human King Palace, both have already joined the Dark Hall." After this, the elder shared a few more pieces of information, but they were all things Chu Feng and the others already knew.
"Nothing else?" the Snow-Haired Immortal narrowed her eyes and pressed further.
"Nothing else. This is all I know," the elder nodded.
Hearing this, a cold glint flashed through the Snow-Haired Immortal's eyes. She was about to strike a killing palm at the elder—
Slap—
However, before the palm could land, Chu Feng seized the Snow-Haired Immortal's wrist. "Senior Snow-Hair, we must keep our word. Since he has forsaken darkness and chosen the light, we ought to give him a chance."
"But..." The Snow-Haired Immortal seemed to want to say something, but ultimately held her tongue. Instead, she offered a faint smile. "As you say."
In the past, the Snow-Haired Immortal would have stood firm in her position. Ruthless and merciless by nature, she never would have honored a promise or shown mercy to an enemy. Otherwise, she wouldn't have earned the title of "Demoness."
But now, she held both admiration and respect for Chu Feng, so she dared not disobey his words.
Hummm—
Right at that moment, a streak of golden light shot through the air — the Golden Flash Bird.
"It's His Majesty, summoning us to return immediately," Chu Feng said.
"Very well." The Snow-Haired Immortal nodded.
After that, Chu Feng and the others brought the elder back with them to the Elven Kingdom.
Once the elder had been settled in, Chu Feng hurried to see the Elven King, eager to report what had happened.
However, upon entering the grand hall where the Elven King resided, Chu Feng was taken aback. The Elven King's Four Grand Elders, Eight Great Guardians — they were all present. Even the Weapon-Forging Immortal and the others had gathered here.
Chu Feng's heart tightened. These powerful figures had each been stationed to guard various locations. Now that they had all assembled in the Elven Kingdom, something significant must have happened.
"Young friend Chu Feng, Snow-Haired Immortal — your timing is perfect. There is good news," the Elven King said with a smile upon seeing the two of them return. "We have already learned the location of the Dark Hall's headquarters. At last, we have a chance to wipe them out in one fell swoop."
Hearing this, Chu Feng and the Snow-Haired Immortal exchanged a glance, both furrowing their brows. Chu Feng then took the initiative to ask, "Was this intelligence obtained from a member of the Dark Hall?"
"Young friend Chu Feng, you already know?" the Elven King asked.
"We also captured someone from the Dark Hall. He came here under orders, and his purpose was not to gather intelligence — it was to sacrifice himself in order to deliver this information to us."
"However, we neutralized the self-destruction formation on his body and removed his mask, allowing him to speak the truth."
"And once he could tell the truth, we learned from his lips that the headquarters location the Dark Hall instructed him to pass along to us is actually a trap," Chu Feng said.
"So it really is a trap?" Those present began buzzing with discussion.
It seemed that upon receiving this intelligence, they too had suspected it might be a trap the Dark Hall had prepared.
"Young friend Chu Feng, even so, we must go. This time, we will knowingly head toward the tiger's den," the Elven King declared.
