"Seniors, this man is a descendant of the Poison of All Things, and he… is also called Poison of All Things." After that, Chu Feng recounted to everyone how he had come to know the Poison of All Things, and how the Poison of All Things had ended up the way he was today.
"Haha, so you're saying that you were able to meet this Poison of All Things and obtain the Body Invulnerable to a Hundred Poisons all because of me." Upon learning the full story, the Snow-Haired Fairy preened with self-satisfaction.
"Well… I suppose that's true." Chu Feng let out a bitter laugh. While it was true that the Snow-Haired Fairy's mistake had inadvertently led to a good outcome, her original intention had been to use him as a guinea pig, plain and simple.
Besides, if not for the fact that Chu Feng himself was strong enough, he would have died long ago. How could any of what happened today have come to pass?
And now the Snow-Haired Fairy was actually taking credit for it. Chu Feng was truly at a loss for words.
"Everyone, during all this time, I was used by the Dark Hall and could not control myself. However, my mind was never clouded — I am aware of everything that has happened during this period."
"So not only do I know about the struggle between you and the Dark Hall, I also know that you came here today to find the Dark Hall's true headquarters."
"And I… happen to know where the Dark Hall's true headquarters really is," the Poison of All Things said.
"Is that true?" Hearing this, a look of surprised delight spread across everyone's faces.
They had come here fully prepared to stake everything on a final confrontation with the Dark Hall, only to fall into a devastating trap.
Yet now, all thanks to Chu Feng, not only had this catastrophe been averted, but the Poison of All Things — a peak Martial Emperor — was now on their side.
This was truly a blessing in disguise. If, at this moment, they could locate the Dark Hall's true headquarters, they would be absolutely unstoppable.
"The Dark Hall's true headquarters is in the Ten Thousand Miles of Snowfield," the Poison of All Things said.
"The Ten Thousand Miles of Snowfield?" At the mention of those words, the expressions of everyone present shifted dramatically. Their faces, which moments ago had been brimming with joy, froze on the spot.
But the most complicated feelings of all churned within Chu Feng's heart, because he had heard of the Ten Thousand Miles of Snowfield before. He was quite familiar with it — he knew it was an extremely remote corner of the Martial Holy Land.
It was also one of the most famous forbidden zones in the entire Martial Holy Land. Within the Ten Thousand Miles of Snowfield dwelled a fearsome demon beast known as the Ice and Snow Phoenix. The Ice and Snow Phoenix regarded the Ten Thousand Miles of Snowfield as its exclusive territory, and anyone who ventured inside and encountered the Ice and Snow Phoenix would be killed without exception.
The reason Chu Feng knew so much about the Ten Thousand Miles of Snowfield was because of his friend, Dantai Snow. After she had unraveled the secret of the Cold Snow Dagger, she had traveled there. What Dantai Snow had been seeking was the Ice and Snow Phoenix.
Come to think of it, it had been a very long time since Dantai Snow and Chu Feng had last parted ways.
During that time, Chu Feng had risen to prominence, stirring up all manner of sensation across the Martial Holy Land.
But Dantai Snow had vanished without a trace, never to be seen again. Chu Feng had been worrying about her whereabouts all this while.
He had originally planned to make time to visit the Ten Thousand Miles of Snowfield and search for Dantai Snow.
But things just kept happening, one after another, and his movements were never truly his own.
He had never managed to go looking for her.
"So they actually fled to the Ten Thousand Miles of Snowfield — no wonder we could never find them," the Elven King said, a deep look of surprise surfacing in his eyes.
"The Ten Thousand Miles of Snowfield will be a tough nut to crack. The Ice and Snow Phoenix may not be numerous, but they are the most mysterious and the most formidable demon beasts in all the Martial Holy Land." Even Lord Lianghua, a peak eighth-grade Martial Emperor, wore a complicated expression as he spoke.
In truth, the moment Lord Lianghua uttered the name Ice and Snow Phoenix, every eminent figure present showed a change in demeanor — as though the very mention of it was enough to make one pale.
"Does the Ice and Snow Phoenix really exist?" Chu Feng could not help but ask. After all, the Ice and Snow Phoenix was connected to Dantai Snow.
