The pack of Obsidian Wolves stirred. The next moment, they turned around and fled in every direction.
Feng Xun, who had been ready for a bloody battle, was speechless.
At the same moment, Yu Mingye, who was already in Black Ice Valley, felt something rush up his throat before blood trickled out from the corner of his mouth.
"Heh, Jun Linyuan, I see you've figured out how to counteract my Beast-Controlling Method and turn the spell I cast back on me. The crown prince is indeed as formidable as they say!" With a straw sticking out of his mouth, Yu Mingye smirked cockily. A complacent look flickered in his eyes as he turned his gaze to an indistinct dot of light up on the cliff. "Too bad, you're late, and that Immortal Spiritual Fruit is meant to be mine!"
At those words, Yu Mingye grabbed the stone wall with both hands and dashed up the cliff, soon disappearing into the night sky.
Meanwhile, Jun Linyuan's team was still hurrying along on their journey in the dark.
The more Feng Xun thought about it, the more worried he became. Rushing to Jun Linyuan's side, he asked, "Boss Jun, what are we looking at now? Please don't tell me that Yu Mingye has reached Black Ice Valley already."
Jun Linyuan replied in an unwavering tone, "Yes."
"Are you kidding me?!" Feng Xun nearly jumped into the air. "He's there already?! Boss, Black Ice Valley is where that Immortal Spiritual Fruit is! Aren't you worried that he'll take the fruit first?! How can you stay this calm?!"
"He won't." Despite his laconic answer, there was something about Jun Linyuan's tone that couldn't be challenged.
"How can you be so sure?" Feng Xun was a little exasperated. "It's Yu Mingye we're talking about here. He's just as famous as you are and gets in your way whenever he can. He's the sacred son of the Dark Court, for heaven's sake, not some random guy you can just brush aside!"
Jun Linyuan frowned and cast a stern look at Feng Xun.
Feng Xun smacked his forehead. "Fine! That's Yu Mingye, a guy not worthy to be mentioned alongside you and who is a tad inferior to you in his capabilities. But that doesn't change the fact that he's a tough opponent!"
Feng Wu asked curiously, "Is this Yu Mingye very formidable?"
Feng Xun turned into a chatterbox at that question. He said grumpily, "Yu Mingye is supported by a bunch of elders that are hopelessly loyal to him, not to mention that the guy is super talented and capable, second to no one but Boss Jun. Plus, that guy is erratic and unpredictable. He's arrogant and bossy one moment, and flippant the next. You never know which way he'll turn. Worst of all, Yu Mingye will get in our way whenever Boss Jun tries to do something important. The Immortal Spiritual Fruit this time, for instance, is useless to him, but he just has to sabotage our task because Boss Jun needs it. The guy is abominable."
Feng Wu rubbed her chin. "Why does it sound to me like your crown prince… is being stalked by this Yu Mingye?"
"You don't say," said Feng Xun sulkily. "He just keeps showing up and making a scene wherever he goes. How annoying!"
Feng Wu rubbed her chin again. "Why do I find him a little… adorable?"
"No, he's not!" Feng Xun knocked Feng Wu's forehead with his knuckles. "By the way, if we really run into Yu Mingye later, run as fast as you can."
"Why?" Feng Wu was bemused.
"Those amorous eyes of his are known for their mesmerizing and seductive effect. When I say that no lady has been able to resist him, I'm not exaggerating. Where do you think he gained his fame for being as popular as our Boss Jun? It was all thanks to his skill at flirting! So, for the sake of your own safety, run away as far as you can from him, copy that?" Feng Xun enjoined.
"Sure." Feng Wu obviously didn't register any of that in her brain.
Shortly afterward, the team reached the perimeter of Black Ice Valley, when —
In Black Ice Valley.
Although it was deep into the night, the valley was brightly lit by countless torches, which turned it as bright as during the day.
However, there was no one around.
The silence was unnerving.
Feng Wu scanned the area with her eyes, but saw nothing out of the ordinary.
"Look, there." Feng Xun raised his eyebrows and looked pleasantly surprised.
Following his finger, they saw a flickering dot of light up on the high cliff.
Without a doubt, it was —
"Immortal Spiritual Fruit!" Xuan Yi cried out. "The fruit that shines like a star at night."
"Yes! That's right!" Feng Xun was so excited that he almost jumped up. "Hahaha! That spot is where the fruit grows. If we've guessed right, that flash of light is our Immortal Spiritual Fruit!"
"But what's going on here?" Xuan Yi frowned a little. "The place looks ransacked. It must have been quite the battle."
At that very moment, Feng Wu's unblinking bright eyes were fixed on that towering cliff and the dot of light on it.
They were right. That was exactly where that Immortal Spiritual Fruit was.
Feng Wu had kept a close watch on that Immortal Spiritual Fruit for the past few years, for once she obtained it, she would be able to refine the Nine Transformation Spirit Restoration Pill, and with the pill, she would be able to resume her cultivation!
Resume her cultivation… She would be that genius teenage girl again… The temptation was so great that she could hardly stand still.
Eyes shining, she clenched her fists under her long sleeves.
The next moment, Feng Wu realized that something wasn't right.
Based on her past observations, a formidable, blood-curdling Sacred Emerald Python always hovered around the fruit.
All her attempts to get closer to the fruit were rendered futile by the bone-chilling energy the python gave off… There was nothing she could do about it.
However, she neither saw the python nor sensed its energy now, which was rather unusual.
Jun Linyuan's thin lips moved and he said quietly, "The guy isn't completely useless."
"What?" Feng Xun was bewildered at first, but soon, his eyes lit up. "Boss Jun, this is your doing, isn't it? You set Yu Mingye up again! That Sacred Emerald Python was lured away by his elders, wasn't it?"
Jun Linyuan gave another indifferent "hm."
Feng Xun couldn't help but pity Yu Mingye a little in her head.
That teenager… had fallen into Boss Jun's trap every single time, but he just kept coming back for more.
Feng Xun said, "This is strange. If Yu Mingye's people have lured that python away, why hasn't he taken the fruit already?"
The tiniest smile emerged on Jun Linyuan's charming face, but he didn't say a word.
The next second —
Jun Linyuan leapt up, stepped on the cliff wall, and swiftly dashed upward.
In a matter of seconds, he was a long way off the ground already.
Feng Xun watched enviously. He then exchanged looks with Xuan Yi and said, "Let's go!"
After that, both guys kicked the cliff wall with the tips of their feet and they were off like shooting arrows.
They were so quick!
Feng Wu kept her unblinking gaze on the three teenagers, who were getting smaller and smaller in her sight. Her eyes twinkled in excitement and she clenched her fists tight.
Immortal Spiritual Fruit… It was her Immortal Spiritual Fruit!
