Chapter 1112 Tracing the Origins 2
Upon hearing Su Cheng's words, Meng Lanjun gave a forced smile and tapped her palm with her folding fan, saying:
"Ranxi has not yet reached a cooperation agreement with this Grandmaster. As for whether this is a trap, Ranxi cannot guarantee it, and I cannot guarantee it either. If you have any doubts or can find other ways to solve the problem, I certainly will not stop you. Everything should be based on your own interests."

Meng Lanjun's attitude was very clear: whether or not to act with them was entirely up to Su Cheng himself. Neither he nor Ran Xi would take responsibility for it, nor could they guarantee that their approach to solving the problem would be correct.

Su Cheng gave an awkward smile and didn't say anything more. They were all immortals, and it was easy to hurt their feelings if they spoke too bluntly.

Shi Qingwu's face fell slightly, but he wasn't stupid and quickly regained his composure. He understood their current situation; to leave this place smoothly, they couldn't do without allies.

Luo Yuejue glanced at Shi Qingwu and Su Cheng with disdain before looking away. Now that everyone was unable to use their divine sense, she no longer needed to be careful when glaring at them.

After receiving accurate information, the members of Zhuge Bai's team dispersed, seemingly sharing the same doubts as Su Cheng. They whispered among themselves about whether to continue working with the Luo family. Only Luo Liu pulled Meng Lanjun aside to ask some detailed questions, while Su Cheng shamelessly listened in without leaving.

When Su Cheng learned that the cultivators who had entered before them had used an array to conceal a treasure coveted by even immortals, his eyes flickered. He was eager to know what kind of treasures could be nurtured in a place devoid of immortal energy.

After a sleepless night, the Luo family's group continued their journey the next day. However, this time they did not need to rush, and for their own safety, they increased the distance between themselves and Yunxi's group, so that they could react in time even if something happened to Ranxi.

The eight people who escorted Ranxi all slept well that night. When they woke up, they discovered that it had been Dugu Heshou's night. The captain immediately bowed and apologized.

"Grandmaster He, we failed in our duty last night, and you have been on guard all night."

Dugu He waved his hand and said:

"It's alright, let's pack up and get ready to set off."

"Yes."

The squad leader immediately agreed, turned around and quickly woke up the other companions. After everyone had breakfast, they continued on their way.

During the rest of the day's journey, Dugu He became increasingly silent, his mind in turmoil. A small voice in his head advised him to be more selfish, to think more about his future, and to take this opportunity to break through his bottleneck and leave this place.

Another villain advised him to consider the bigger picture and not let the words of the otherworldly beings shake the foundation of the Blazing Sun Kingdom, giving them an opportunity to resume their plunder. He suggested that these otherworldly beings should be used as energy stones to maintain the formation and remain here forever.

Yunxi had no idea what Dugu He was thinking. She just wanted to absorb the medicinal properties of the pill as soon as possible to ensure that she could escape smoothly if anything happened. Although she couldn't use her divine sense and immortal energy at the moment, she had been persisting in body tempering. Under the premise that her internal injuries had healed, taking down the Grandmaster that these people were talking about would not be difficult for her.

That night, Yunxi and her group camped in the wild again. The eight members of the team had clear divisions of labor: some started a fire to cook, some were responsible for patrolling and guarding, and some stayed by Yunxi's side, afraid that something might happen to her.

Once everyone had fallen into a state of semi-sleep, Yunxi opened her eyes, slowly sat up, and looked at Dugu He, who was guarding the campfire.

Dugu He frowned, waved his sleeve to extinguish the fire, and knocked the other eight unconscious. He didn't want them to hear their conversation.

Yunxi looked up at the sky, where a crescent moon hung in the air. Because there were no clouds, the open space below was brightly illuminated, allowing her to clearly see Dugu He's expression. She then stepped forward and said:

"Grandmaster He, what's your decision?" Dugu He said nothing, but with a flash, a huge fist shot straight at Yun Xi's face.

Yunxi did not sense any killing intent in the opponent's attack. It seemed that the opponent's attack was more of a probing attack, so she did not retreat or dodge. Instead, she took a step forward and clenched her fist to meet the attack.

The two fists, one large and one small, collided. Yunxi was clearly superior, as she did not retreat an inch. Dugu He, after deflecting the attack, became somewhat unsteady and ultimately had to take a step back.

Yunxi glanced at Dugu He, then lightly touched the ground with her feet after withdrawing her fist, leaped up, and turned her fist into a palm, striking the other's chest. This time, she only used half of her previous strength.

Dugu He crossed his arms in front of his chest to block the palm strike. This time, he did not retreat and took the blow, though his body slumped slightly.

The moment Yunxi landed, she delivered a side kick aimed at her opponent's lower body. Dugu He leaped up to try and dodge the attack, but Yunxi's foot had already hooked up, forcefully pulling the leaping Dugu He back to his original position. Immediately following was another palm strike, and this time Dugu He also swung out a palm strike, which met Yunxi's palm strike perfectly.

After their palms collided, both of them were thrown backward by the impact of the two forces, with Dugu He taking one more step back than Yun Xi this time.

Yunxi rotated her wrist and said:

"Grandmaster He, your moves are sharp and clean, and your inner strength is profound. You are one of the best in this small world. But do you want to continue?"

Dugu He withdrew his stance, his gaze fixed intently on Yun Xi, and said:
“I can’t hurt you. Once you break the formation, the Five Kingdoms will once again become targets for your otherworldly plunder. I will not allow such a thing to happen, even if it costs me my life.”

Yunxi smiled slightly and said:

"Grandmaster He, not all the otherworldly beings who come here possess my abilities!"

Dugu He's face remained grim, but he still asked:
"What do you mean?"

Yunxi smoothed her robes and explained:
"I am a half-body cultivator. Body cultivation is somewhat similar to your cultivation methods. It involves tempering the physical body to the extreme, reaching the level where one can split mountains with a palm and shatter the earth with a fist. Finally, the physical body becomes a saint, breaking through the void and ascending to a higher world."

Dugu He withdrew his gloomy gaze, stared at Yun Xi for a long time before speaking:
“If it’s as you say, you should be able to leave here without having to cooperate with me at all.”

Yunxi knew that Dugu He was very wary of her, so she said:
"You've seen my weapon. I'm not a pure body cultivator. I only practiced body cultivation in order to be able to wield the Death Cudgel."

Because of my long lifespan, I've also learned alchemy, talisman making, weapon crafting, and formations. These are our four arts. Among them, elixirs can grant you immortality and rejuvenation, formations can hide treasures and disrupt the power systems of the five kingdoms, and a good weapon can help you break through to the Saint Master level. Are you really not interested?"

Yunxi threw out her bait. She knew very well how badly her divine sense was injured and that she had to return to the Immortal Realm to heal as soon as possible, otherwise it would hinder her future breakthrough.

Dugu He remained silent for even longer this time, and only spoke when Yun Xi was already preparing to leave:
"I need longevity pills to ensure I live long enough to break through to Saint Master level. I also need a weapon tailor-made for me. And lastly, and most importantly, you cannot destroy the concealment formation."

See you tomorrow~ Goodnight~
