Chapter 281 [One Step Late]
"Hahaha, my predecessor is too confident when he says this, right? If my predecessors could kill me, how could I stand there and talk to a junior like me now? Xiao Fan laughed a few times, took a few steps back, shrugged his shoulders, pretended to be indifferent, and looked at the mysterious man and replied.
"Hmph, you and I are very clear about this question, that kid named Mu Feng, you remember, take good care of my jade, and soon I will personally take them from you."
The mysterious man snorted coldly, but did not get angry in the face of Xiao Fan's disdainful ridicule, and then his body instantly distorted and deformed under Mu Feng's solemn gaze, and in the blink of an eye, the colorful aurora disappeared without a trace.
As soon as the mysterious man disappeared, Xiao Fan, who was standing in front of Mu Feng with a sneering smile on his face, exhaled with relief, his body trembled slightly, but the subtle movements attracted Mu Feng's attention, and he hurriedly stepped forward to him.
"Are you alright?" Under close observation, Mu Feng found that at this moment, a trace of cold sweat was oozing from Xiao Fan's forehead, and a trace of heat began to bubble on his head, and his face was slightly pale.
"Whew~~ Let's go." Xiao Fan's expression was solemn, and after exhaling deeply, he didn't say much, and he turned around and wanted to take Mu Feng away.
"Let's go? Who is he? Mu Feng was stunned for a moment, stopped and looked at Xiao Fan with a puzzled expression and asked.
"Can't you see it yet? He is the mastermind behind Zhao Chong and them, I really didn't expect him to dare to go out in person, it seems that there are not many things that make him afraid! Xiao Fan frowned, replied in a deep voice with a complicated expression.
After hearing this, Mu Feng's expression became more and more solemn, he never expected to see him in such a place, and hearing what he said before leaving, it seems that his target will be himself next.
"You're no match for him either?" Mu Feng pondered for a moment and then looked at Xiao Fan with some concern and asked.
Xiao Fan turned white angrily, Mu Feng glanced at him with a bitter smile and said, "I said before that he was very strong, but I didn't expect him to be so strong that he could exert spiritual pressure on me." ”
Mu Feng was shocked, since he had known Xiao Fan for so long, his expression at the moment was really the first time Mu Feng had seen it, it seemed that he had really encountered a very tricky opponent.
"Then why didn't he just kill us?" Mu Feng asked in some surprise.
"Hmph, where is it so easy? A strong man like him is about the same as me, and there will be people paying attention wherever he goes, believe it or not, I am now using the power of space to cause spatial fluctuations, or someone will stand in front of us in half a pillar of incense! Xiao Fan snorted coldly and waved his hand in reply.
"What do you mean??"
"Although I'm not sure if I'm his opponent, one thing is certain, he can't kill me for a while, once I entangle with him, it will inevitably cause spatial fluctuations, and when the time comes, those strong people hidden in the continent will notice it and rush over, and when that time comes, can he still hide his secret in front of many strong people?"
Xiao Fan smiled bitterly and explained to Mu Feng.
"So as long as you're there, he can't do anything to me?" Hearing this, Mu Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
According to what Xiao Fan said, there are not many people who know the secret of the ancient god jade, and the mysterious person just now is Zhao Chong's mastermind behind the scenes, with his strength, he still needs to sneak behind the scenes to direct others to do the matter of seizing the jade, presumably he doesn't want anyone to know about this matter.
"The stronger the strength, the more constraints there will be, everywhere you go, there are a bunch of people who pay attention, and if you are not careful, you will be burned, he must understand this truth, but he has never made his own action like now, it seems that the things that make him worry and taboo have changed, at least he dares to stand up to explain the reason."
Xiao Fan's brows furrowed, and his expression became complicated and solemn.
Hearing this, Mu Feng also nodded thoughtfully, indeed as he said, just like Xiao Fan didn't dare to personally deal with Qingxuanzong at the beginning, with his strength, who was his opponent in Qingxuanzong at that time, except for the great elder who couldn't see the head and the tail?
The reason why he didn't do this was because he was worried that he would cause spatial fluctuations and attract other peerless powerhouses, and when the time came, he would be killed for a while, but he would be ruined, just like now the two of them chose to walk thousands of miles to get here, and it was a reason not to use the easiest way to directly use the power of space to move here.
"If he had personally taken action, how could you have walked out of Moon City alive, and Zhao Chong and they would not have died, but he chose to use the most cumbersome method to use Zhao Chong to take away your family heirloom ancient jade, but now he personally came to the Star Palace to take the jade, hey~ Intriguing, intriguing!"
Xiao Fan shook his head and sighed as he spoke.
Although it is a little intriguing, Mu Feng can guess one or two, just like what Xiao Fan said before, it must have been the suppression that made this mysterious person taboo to appear in person to seize the jade in the simplest and rude way, otherwise he should continue to work for him like secretly manipulating Zhao Chong and them, instead of going out himself.
"Alright, let's go back first, it's useless to stay here." Xiao Fan smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to pat Mu Feng's shoulder, but when he saw that Gollum lying on Mu Feng's shoulder had just woken up and was looking at him sleepily, he reluctantly took his hand back.
"I'd like to go in and have a look."
Just when Xiao Fan kept urging Mu Feng to leave, Mu Feng's heart was always heavy, his brows were furrowed, and he turned his head to the several palaces standing on the high iceberg behind him, and said in a low voice.
"What to see? It's all dead! Xiao Fan looked at Mu Feng with a puzzled expression and asked.
"Whew~" Mu Feng exhaled heavily, but he didn't say much, although he was not familiar with the Star Palace, he had already come to this point, and the ice sculpture attic palace wrapped in the aurora in front of him always made him feel a little regretful if he didn't go to see it.
It was only a few hundred meters away from the Iceberg Palace in a straight line, and he didn't care about the time of such a few steps, so Mu Feng decided to go to the inside of the Star Palace to take a look, but just when he took a small step forward, Gollum, who was lying on his shoulder, had just woken up at this moment.
The big round eyes blinked and looked around, and suddenly they were attracted by the flowing aurora in front of him, and "rubbed" and pounced out of Mu Feng's shoulder, and when he was about to fall to the ground, he spread his wings and made a "poof" sound, and his mouth kept making a gurgling and excited sound, and flew up towards the nearest colorful aurora.
"Gollum!!" Gollum didn't know that there was an enchantment not far in front of him, and when he saw that it was about to fly to the enchantment, Mu Feng had no time to stop it, so he reached out and grabbed it and shouted at it urgently.
Xiao Fan didn't think much of this, with his strength, even he could catch it, but he stood beside Mu Feng and looked at Gollum who broke directly into the enchantment with a smile.
As soon as he touched the invisible barrier, he only heard a "crackle" sound accompanied by a small flash of electric light, and Gollum seemed to be slapped down by a pair of invisible hands like swatting flies from mid-air, and fell into the snow head-on.
Mu Feng was stunned by this scene, in the snow ten meters away from Mu Feng, half of Gollum's body was buried in the snow, and the lower half of his body was constantly swaying, and his fat body looked even more funny at the moment.
Gollum, who was buried in the snow, struggled a few times and sat up, his little paws shaved the snow off his head, and his big eyes looked behind him in a daze, as if he didn't know what had happened just now, and his cute appearance made Mu Feng, who was originally frightened, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Then Mu Feng frowned slightly, could it be said that the enchantment was lifted after the mysterious person left just now? But Gollum seemed to have hit something just now, but why did it stand unscathed and roll in the snow in front of it?
"Don't underestimate the primeval spirit dragon, the dragon clan is best at space, and shattering into the void space is their housekeeping ability, not to mention that this primeval spirit dragon is still the ancestor of the dragon clan, such an enchantment has no effect on it."
As if he saw Mu Feng's doubts, Xiao Fan, who was standing beside him, smiled bitterly and looked at Gollum, who was playing in the snow excitedly, and said.
With Xiao Fan's help, Mu Feng smoothly entered the enchantment and came to the iceberg palace, the surrounding cold was pressing, and the scene in the ice palace was a bit like the ice palace set up by Xiao Fan for his father in the holy lake, but compared to the ice palace under the holy lake, the star palace in front of him was much more magnificent.
The attic on the iceberg, the palace, the house and the residence are all available, the tables and chairs, doors and windows in the palace are all available, the only difference from the outside world is that these things are all made of local materials and carefully carved with cold ice, looking at these exquisite ice sculptures, Mu Feng also sighed in his heart, the entire Star Palace can be called a masterpiece of ghosts and gods.
After walking a short distance, I found many corpses lying on the ground, these corpses were brightly and beautifully dressed, and all of them were women.
Mu Feng came to a female corpse and squatted down, checked it with a solemn expression, and frowned a little.
"None of them were hurt." Mu Feng gasped after glancing around at the many female corpses around.
There were no scars on the bodies of these women, and there were no bruises on their bodies, and there was already a trace of frost on their bodies lying among the ice sculptures, but when they reached out and touched some of the corpses, they were still hot, presumably just dead.
"Holy Order kills people without seeing blood, what's so strange about this?" Xiao Fan smiled bitterly and glanced at Mu Feng and replied.
Mu Feng nodded and exhaled heavily, and then wanted to enter the main hall to have a look, but at this moment, Xiao Fan's face suddenly changed slightly, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he turned around and walked away.
Xiao Fan's sudden action made Mu Feng confused, and after being a little surprised, he beckoned Gollum back to his shoulder and followed Xiao Fan, and the two came to the edge of the huge iceberg, looking over and just in time to see the road they came from, and the vast ice and snow.
I saw that dozens of figures appeared in the ice and snow at this moment, and from a distance, these people were dressed in different clothes, men, women and children, and they were rushing towards here at a very fast speed.
"It's okay now, you didn't leave just now, and now it's troublesome to go." Looking at this group of menacing people, Xiao Fan turned his head and smiled bitterly at Mu Feng.
Mu Feng's brows furrowed, his expression became solemn, and he felt faintly uneasy in his heart when he looked at the group of people who were no more than a kilometer away from here in the distance, it was impossible for ordinary people to walk here after thousands of miles of ice, and seeing that the group of people in the distance were all thinly dressed and obviously not afraid of the cold, it was obvious that they were all cultivators.
"How can so many people come?" Mu Feng asked with some confusion.
"Let that guy put on a scene, it is estimated that he wants to borrow a knife to kill people and reap the benefits of fishermen himself." Xiao Fan shrugged his shoulders helplessly and replied.
"You mean?" Hearing this, Mu Feng was also shocked in his heart.
"Presumably he immediately notified the surrounding immortal sects after he left just now, but I didn't expect these guys to come quite quickly." Xiao Fan replied with a bitter smile.
Mu Feng's brows furrowed, and he kept thinking in his mind, the few immortal gates closest to the Star Palace here were also hundreds of miles away, and the time for the two of them to delay here was only half an hour at most, ordinary cultivators definitely didn't have this kind of speed, it seemed that the strength of this group of people was not low.
"Now it's okay, they have all seen us, and they can't argue, this basin is on your head and me." When this group of mighty cultivators came to a place five or six hundred meters away from the iceberg, Xiao Fan let out a wry sigh and said.
"What a demon! Dare to offend the right way of the world! At this moment, almost everyone noticed Mu Feng and Xiao Fan who were standing high on the edge of the iceberg, and one of them, a white-haired old man, shouted loudly at the two of them.
"I said, we're passing by, will you believe it?" Xiao Fan smiled helplessly and asked.
"I'll wait for the secret report to arrive, so I'm sure I'll come in time, otherwise I'll let you two demons escape."
Hearing him say this, Mu Feng was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiao Fan beside him, and said, "Why are they adamant that the people in the Star Palace are dead?" Are we the murderers? ”
"It's not the blessing of that old guy yet, forget it, let's go first." Xiao Fan replied with a bitter smile.
"How to get there?" Mu Feng frowned and asked in a deep voice.
In order to get in before, Xiao Fan had already broken the barrier here, and there was no cover around him, it was not easy to escape in front of such a group of menacing cultivators, unless Xiao Fan killed the killer or opened the space passage, it was definitely not so easy to leave.
But this group of cultivators is obviously not low, once the melee starts, Xiao Fan will inevitably use the power of space, so as to expose himself, thinking about it, this is a more tricky matter.
"Kill it." Xiao Fan glanced at Mu Feng casually and replied.
