East Emperor - C118

From the intermittent words the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle spoke, Lu Feng understood that the underground palace really did belong to Spiritual Master Ziyang.

A thousand years ago, Adept Ziyang sensed that his end was near, and so he decided to leave this underground palace to fate.

In order to not let his dao be completely lost, Spiritual Master Ziyang had especially left behind a map, which was the map he had given to Lu Feng.

In order to protect the secrets of the underground palace as well as to test the heart of the person who obtained the map, Spiritual Master Ziyang specially set up a few barriers in the valley, each of which had a different arrangement.

And Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle, they were precisely caught by Spiritual Master Ziyang at that time, as the first guardian Demonic Beast.

However, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle was wild and untamed, and could not bear to stay here and protect. Thus, Spiritual Master Ziyang could not do anything, so he set up a Demon Sealing Array, trapping it inside, and then used the True Yuan s in its body to maintain the fog outside. At the same time, he also stimulated the talent of the Sickle Armoured Beetle race to avoid being scouted by the Spiritual Sense s.

As for the Sickle Armoured Beetle, it had been trapped underground for a thousand years. It had used its own ability to secretly reproduce countless of its descendants and placed them all in the valley to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. It was prepared to help the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle escape at that time.

A few days ago, when Lu Feng and the Qing Jing Idle Man entered the dense fog, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle had already discovered their existence.

When Lu Feng and the Qing Jing Idle Man broke through the barrier of the Misty Illusion Formation and appeared in the valley, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle used its own Spiritual Sense and controlled a few vines to attack Lu Feng and Yue Yang, and successfully lured them to its side.

The giant boulder that Lu Feng and Qing Jing Idle Man were standing on was actually the eye of the Demon Sealing Array.

To lure Lu Feng and the others here, the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle had planned to use their martial skills to kill off all of its descendents. This way, it could use the True Yuan s inside the corpses of the dead Sickle Armoured Beetle to gather together and attack the Demon Sealing Array.

As for the ignorant Lu Feng and Qing Jing Idle Man, after being attacked by the Sickle Armoured Beetle, they started a massacre and fell into the Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle’s trap.

When Lu Feng and the Qing Jing Idle Man finished off all the Sickle Armoured Beetle, not only did the gathered True Yuan help it break through the Demon Sealing Array, it also allowed its strength to increase by a level. It had reached the peak of its current Late Profound Stage, which was equivalent to stepping into the ranks of Earth Stage.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Lu Feng’s heart sank even more. This Maternal Sickle Armoured Beetle was indeed ruthless, not only did it plan for a thousand years, it even sacrificed all of the children and descendants that she had personally created in exchange for its own chance of seeing the light of day.

“Senior, wait for me to stall the old Demonic Beast for a while. You should take the chance to escape as far as possible. It’s best if you leave the valley immediately!”

Lu Feng rode his Crimson Nimbus Sword, came to Qing Jing Idle Man’s side and said softly.

The Qing Jing Idle Man didn’t care about Lu Feng at all. Instead, he snorted coldly and said unhappily: “If you want to escape, escape by yourself. I don’t have the habit of escaping without fighting!”

Lu Feng was panicking in her heart, how could this young miss act like a little miss?

“Xu Yeyue, you can’t be thinking of dying here with me, right?”

Lu Feng didn’t care anymore and directly revealed the true identity of the Qing Jing Idle Man.

“How did you know it was me?”

Qing Jing Idle Man, or in other words, Xu Yeyue, asked in surprise.

With that, Xu Yeyue took off the cape on her head, revealing her coquettish face and her pair of deep eyes that Lu Feng had never forgotten about. It was just that Xu Yeyue still dressed like a man, with her hair tied into a warrior’s bun.

“Miss Xu, is there even a need to guess?

When you first met her, you said, “You’re a man, what are you afraid of?”

At that time, I was certain that you were a woman.

The only woman who had a conflict after I arrived at the Heavenly Star City was also only you, Miss Xu, although I don’t know why we started a conflict.

Thus, I had my suspicions at that time.

Later on, from your occasional disguise, I also roughly confirmed your identity.

Furthermore, you forgot to use a fake voice to say something just now.

If I can’t figure out your identity, then I, Lu Feng, am no longer an idiot.

However, what I find strange is that between the two of us, what kind of deep hatred exists for you to set up such a huge trap to trap me within?

The strangest thing is, if I’m already in, why did you still come? ”

Since she had already revealed Xu Yeyue’s identity, Lu Feng took the opportunity to speak.

Hearing Lu Feng’s words, Xu Yeyue seemed to recall the scene in the library once again. Her cheeks were dyed with blood, and she said a little unnaturally: “You also said, if the book in your arms didn’t crash into me, I wouldn’t have looked for an opportunity to take revenge on you.”

Although Xu Yeyue’s voice was soft, Lu Feng was still able to clearly hear it. It turned out that the large historical books that she was carrying at that time had touched upon the forbidden zone of the Miss Xu, which was why she was remembered.

After figuring out the whole story, Lu Feng could not help but feel wronged.

“Then why did you come?”

Lu Feng asked somewhat curiously.

Under Lu Feng’s attentive gaze, Xu Yeyue muttered to herself somewhat guiltily: “Isn’t it all because of that book!

If I had known that a fool like you would have discovered the secret of that book so soon, I wouldn’t have given it to you. ”

Lu Feng asked: “What’s with that booklet?”

Xu Yeyue said: “I stole that booklet from my father’s study.

The map inside, I knew it was there.

Also, I’ve been here once with my father, and the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation outside is the method my father taught me to enter and exit.

However, my father and I were unable to discover the secret of the mist that time, so we were unable to reach the bottom before returning empty-handed.

This time, in order to take revenge on you, I intentionally stole that booklet. I begged the Great Elder of the inner court, Grandpa Bai, to let that Wang Zhilin pretend to be careless and give it to you.

Originally, I had thought that if you found out about the secret of that small booklet, I would ambush you halfway into Green Cloud Mountain Range and give you a good lesson.

Who knew that you, a fool, would enter the Green Cloud Mountain Range the next day. By the time I received the news, several days had already passed.

I only wanted to teach you a lesson, not kill you. Thus, I hurriedly rushed over.

Who would have thought that I was still a step too late? You idiot, you’ve already entered the Eight Trigrams Grand Formation of the Nine Palaces.

There was no other way. I wanted to explore the secret of this ravine with you.

In the end, that’s all. ”

Hearing Xu Yeyue’s words, Lu Feng was also a bit speechless. It was originally just a misunderstanding, yet it ended up like this.
