Li Feiyu’s body stiffened, his heart heavy, and his mind whirled rapidly, considering what he should do in the current situation.
After all, he had appeared here out of nowhere, and if he couldn’t provide a reasonable explanation, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to leave alive.
He saw Azure Phoenix Immortal’s cold and sharp eyes looking toward him, and his heart trembled. He immediately bowed and said, “This humble one, Li Feiyu, pays his respects to City Lord!”
Just that look from Azure Phoenix Immortal filled Li Feiyu with terror, feeling an intense suffocation.
It felt like a simple shift in her gaze could kill him.
“Hmm? You recognize me.”
The Azure Phoenix Immortal stood with her hands behind her back, her tall figure imposing, and her voice calm and indifferent.
“This humble one had the fortune to see City Lord during the Beast Tide!”
Li Feiyu’s body remained rigid, as if there were thorns on his back, as he bowed respectfully.
The Azure Phoenix Immortal continued to speak.
As a Nascent Soul Grand Cultivator, she had sensed a surge of spatial mana fluctuation the instant Li Feiyu appeared.
The fluctuation was faint, but no matter what, it was not something a mere Ninth Level Qi Refinement cultivator like him could touch, so there definitely had to be a secret.
Especially considering he had appeared right here.
“This…”
At this moment, Li Feiyu had absolutely no idea how to explain.
He couldn’t just say that a talisman given to him by a good brother randomly transferred him here, could he?
Even if he said it, the other party wouldn’t believe it.
Just then, he noticed the surrounding scenery and the mountainside below him, and his heart skipped a beat, feeling inexplicably familiar.
“This is… the entrance to the Ancient Relic Site indicated by Changsheng’s treasure map!”
“Azure Phoenix Immortal is leading people to break the formation, trying to breach this Ancient Relic Site!”
In this life-and-death situation, Li Feiyu’s mind raced like lightning, remembering why the place was familiar to him, and realizing why Azure Phoenix Immortal was here.
At this moment, he simply didn’t know what to say.
This was too much of a coincidence!
He had actually appeared at the location of the Ancient Relic Site due to the random transfer of the Life-Substitute Talisman.
The only problem was that Azure Phoenix Immortal was currently digging and exploring this relic site.
“Hmm?”
At that moment, a False Core Immortal by her side let out a light hum.
Instantly, the energy and blood in Li Feiyu’s body churned, and he found it hard to breathe, almost falling from the sky.
He bit his teeth and forced out, “To report back to City Lord, this humble one inadvertently obtained a treasure map from a cave mansion years ago, relating to an Ancient Relic Site.”
“This humble one is at the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement, but with only a Lower Grade Spiritual Root, Foundation Establishment is bleak, so I wanted to make one last effort through this relic site!”
“The reason I am here is because that cave mansion had a prohibited arrangement resembling an ancient teleportation array, and after countless trials, I finally triggered it, and then the world spun around, and I inexplicably appeared here.”
Li Feiyu, while speaking, felt the pressure around him dissipate significantly, knowing he must have guessed correctly.
He quickly said, “To be able to meet City Lord here is this humble one’s honor. I am willing to offer the treasure map and the information about the Ancient Relic Site to City Lord!”
In the current situation, he knew there was only one choice he could make.
That was to actively offer the information about the Ancient Relic Site.
The Azure Phoenix Immortal before him, as the Master of the Azure Phoenix Immortal City and Jiang Kingdom’s Number One Independent Cultivator, a highly respected figure, would have some regard for face.
As long as he voluntarily offered the relic site, and if the information provided was helpful, she might be willing to take him along and perhaps even provide some benefits.
“If your words are true, I won’t be stingy with your reward.”
The Azure Phoenix Immortal said so.
As a Nascent Soul Immortal, she could tell that Li Feiyu was lying and not telling the whole truth.
But, coming from the background of an independent cultivator, she understood his psychology very well.
As long as Li Feiyu was willing to offer the information about the relic site truthfully, she was also willing to give him a chance.
“Thank you, City Lord!”
Li Feiyu quickly expressed his gratitude, then narrated the information from the treasure map.
Fortunately, he was a cultivator, with an extraordinary memory.
After seeing the treasure map previously, he had remembered the details clearly.
Outside Qingyun Market.
Lu Changsheng released the Spirit Boat, and with his wife Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan, they maneuvered the Spirit Boat flying towards Bihu Lake Mountain.
After such a long journey, they were finally about to return home.
At this moment, not only him, but also Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan, felt somewhat emotionally stirred.
“Hmm?”
Just then, Lu Changsheng felt a sudden premonition, an indescribable intuition emerging within him.
In that instant, he sensed that a ‘Substitute Talisman’ he had made had been used.
For ordinary talismans, this would be impossible.
But he had nurtured these ‘Life-Substitute Talismans’ using the ‘Talisman Nurturing Method’ for a long time.
They contained his mana, essence, qi, and spirit, creating a faint connection between them.
The talisman being consumed triggered a spur-of-the-moment premonition in him.
“Could it be Feiyu…”
Lu Changsheng murmured to himself.
His intuition told him that the talisman that had been used came from the direction of Azure Phoenix Immortal City, Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.
“If this talisman was used, it means Feiyu has encountered a life-threatening danger.”
“I hope he can be safe and overcome this trial…”
Lu Changsheng felt a heaviness in his heart.
As his only friend in this world, his one and only good brother.
Even though they rarely saw each other now, he still wished his friend would live well and get better and better.
“Changsheng, what’s wrong?”
Lu Miaoge noticed Lu Changsheng was a bit lost in thought, and looking at him, her voice was gentle.
Through the many years of living together, she had come to realize that her husband would occasionally become pensive, assuming he was burdened with worries.
