"Fine, we agree." Huahua accepted readily.
Upon seeing this, Xia Xingchen panicked.
She hurriedly sent a voice transmission: "Huahua, many members of these ancient tribes have been branded with marks. It's impossible to erase them all in a short time."
"Even if we disguise our appearances, with those marks on them, we'll be tracked. There's no way to bring them all out."
But Huahua simply flashed Xia Xingchen a faint smile, then raised her hand and waved, sweeping all the cultivation resources off the wall and tossing them before the little boy. "However, you need to help us first."
"No problem."
The ancient little boy took two steps forward, took a deep breath, then opened his mouth and spewed out a massive stream of liquid like a water column. The liquid merged with those cultivation resources.
If there had been any doubt before, now it was certain — the ancient little boy was telling the truth.
That was absolutely not saliva, but some kind of power. As the volume increased, a fragrance like the scent of flowers could even be detected.
Soon, all of the cultivation resources had undergone a complete transformation.
Huahua immediately gathered them up, divided them into two portions, and handed them to Chu Feng and Xia Xingchen.
"I primarily cultivate barrier techniques, so these cultivation resources won't help me much."
"You two divide them," Huahua said.
"I don't need them either." Xia Xingchen pushed everything toward Chu Feng.
"That's not really appropriate, is it?" Chu Feng said, somewhat embarrassed. After all, the three of them had come here together, so he naturally couldn't take everything for himself.
"These cultivation resources won't make much of a difference at my level, but they should be helpful to you," Xia Xingchen said.
Before Chu Feng could respond, the ancient little boy urged them on. "You can figure out how to split them later."
"Right now, hurry up and find a way to get us out of here! The people from the Firmament Immortal Sect could make their move at any moment."
"Little one, I can only take you and your family," Huahua said.
"What do you mean? Are you going back on your word?" The boy sensed something was off, and displeasure showed on his face.
"It's not going back on my word. It's just that your clan has so many members — how could we possibly bring them all out?"
"Besides, many of your clansmen have been branded with marks by the Firmament Immortal Sect. If we took them all, we'd be tracked."
"And stationed here is Qin Hanwu, one of the Firmament Immortal Sect's Ten Directions Immortal Sovereigns."
"We're no match for him whatsoever."
"So we can only take a small number of people. At the very least, we can get you and your family out without issue. With fewer people, even if there are marks, we can help erase them," Huahua explained.
"No — all of our clansmen must be taken out," the ancient little boy said.
"That's impossible."
"Then why did you agree?"
"You're bullying us because we're weak, aren't you?" The little boy's anger grew even more intense.
"You little brat, why can't you understand what I'm saying? Didn't I already tell you—"
Huahua wanted to retort further.
But Chu Feng pulled her behind him and looked at the little boy with a warm smile.
"She was joking with you. We will bring all of your clansmen out."
"Chu Feng!"
The moment Chu Feng said this, both Huahua and Xia Xingchen panicked.
Their private voice transmissions all reached Chu Feng's ears.
In their view, this was far too risky.
Xia Xingchen in particular knew exactly how powerful Qin Hanwu was — he was no pushover.
"If we hadn't already agreed, that would be one thing."
"But since we have agreed, we should at least try."
"I do have a plan. We could give it a shot."
Chu Feng also transmitted his voice privately, discussing the plan with Huahua.
"How about it?" After hearing Chu Feng's plan, Xia Xingchen looked to Huahua.
"Chu Feng's formations are fairly trustworthy. There's still some risk, but it's worth a try."
"What do you think?" Huahua also looked to Xia Xingchen.
Given that Chu Feng's strength was still limited at this point, the two of them were the keys to this plan.
