After the previous battle, she was very clear about Long Chen's battle prowess.
"Not his match." Shangguan Feng was stunned. In other words, even he was not Long Chen's opponent …
Just who was this kid? How could such an expert appear in Dong Sheng City?
Qin Shi was very good at judging people. It was impossible for her to be wrong. So why was this cultivator called Jiang Yunfan so powerful?
"No matter what, this kid dared to trick me. I can't let him have it easy. Once we get out of the Nine Underworld Demon Mountain, I will dig out his background. What Dong Sheng City? What Jiang family? I will destroy them all!"
Zhao Yunlong said viciously. This time, he had suffered a terrible defeat against Long Chen. He had never been so heavily injured before.
Shangguan Feng and Qin Shi looked at each other. This Zhao Yunlong might seem arrogant, but in fact, his IQ was no match for the other two. Now that he was seriously injured, the two of them were still carrying him. This was already a mercy to him. However, Zhao Yunlong clearly did not think of this.
"Oh right, Shangguan Feng, you clearly know he's not a good person, so why did you bring him into our group? It's all your fault." Zhao Yunlong put the blame on Shangguan Feng.
Shangguan Feng rolled his eyes and said, "I saw that he was strong and mysterious, so I wanted to bring him along to test him out. But then I discovered that he really is just a cultivator from a small place. He only has some genius skills, so there's nothing to worry about. It's just that from his performance just now, we've all underestimated him."
Shangguan Feng's attitude made Zhao Yunlong very unhappy.
"Stop arguing. Now is not the time. Didn't you say that the lair of the Poison Shadow clan is just up ahead? Let's quickly obtain the lightning core and then go fight for the Saints' Fruit. I think the other people of the nine great clans are already here. I wonder what Su Zhe's trying to do with the Myriad Evil Vine."
Qin Shi thought. She felt that something was wrong. Just what was it …
She could not understand it at this moment.
In fact, the reason why Qin Shi came to the Nine Secluded Demon Mountain with Shangguan Ya and met up with Shangguan Feng was because Qin Shi was adopted by the Shangguan Clan when she was young. She was taken away by the Realm King after she showed her talent. The Realm King of the Nine Secluded Demon Realm didn't belong to any clan, unlike the Yang Clan of the Profound Yin Demon Realm.
Because of this friendship, Qin Shi did not expect that the Heart of Thunder was actually fake news.
Long Chen, who was following behind them, also found it strange. What was Shangguan Feng's purpose in doing this?
The Thunder Core was in Long Chen's hands. Therefore, Long Chen did not think that the Poison Shadow Tribe's lair would have a Thunder Core. Therefore, he had used Soul Control on one of the Poison Shadow Tribe demons.
All of this would only be revealed when they reached the Poison Shadow Tribe's lair.
Long Chen held his breath. In this boundless fog, the other party would not be able to detect his presence at a distance of 500 meters.
They soon arrived at the so-called lair of the Poison Shadow Tribe. What appeared in front of them was a dark cave hidden in the forest. The Poison Shadow Tribe lived in this cave. From this cave, Long Chen heard an earth-shattering rumble. This was the sound of a waterfall.
There should be water in this cave.
This cave was not difficult to find. At this time, the Poison Shadow Tribe had abandoned the old, young, women, and children. There must be something that Long Chen could not understand.
"The lair is here. It's so obvious." Zhao Yunlong's face was pale. He was somewhat unwilling to believe it.
In fact, if not for the rumbling sound of water coming from inside, this cave could be considered hidden.
"If you don't believe me, you don't have to come in," Shangguan Feng said coldly. Then, he walked in side by side with Qin Shi.
Zhao Yunlong's face froze, then turned ashen. He gritted his teeth and stared at Shangguan Feng's back. He said coldly in his heart, "Shangguan Feng, don't let me get a chance. Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead."
After saying that, he followed the others in. This cave was not big. It was only 10 meters wide and 4 meters tall. The sound of water inside was deafening.
Following them, Long Chen also walked in easily. He had the Divine Breath Technique. At the same time, he floated lightly in mid-air. In this place where the sound of water was so loud, it was not easy to detect Long Chen's presence. Moreover, Long Chen used the Spirit-Devouring Demon Eye to constantly monitor them.
Long Chen knew that his doubts would soon be resolved.
The three of them were silent. After walking for about a kilometer in this cave, the rumbling sound in front of them grew louder. Just as Zhao Yunlong's patience was about to run out, they finally saw the end of the cave.
"This is a hollow mountain belly. There is a waterfall in front, and a deep pool below the waterfall. The lair of the Poison Shadow Tribe is hidden in a cave covered by the waterfall. This place seems exposed, but it is actually very well hidden. With the power of the Soul Suppressing Stone, who would have guessed that there would be a cave hidden in the waterfall?" Shangguan Feng said as he walked.
Qin Shi and Zhao Yunlong both had a look of realization on their faces.
Soon, they walked to the entrance of the cave. Indeed, there was a huge hollow mountain belly in front of them. This hollow place was not wide, but it was very deep. Perhaps it extended all the way to the foot of the mountain. Everyone was surprised that such a place existed.
In front of them was an incomparably huge rock. Above the rock, there was a mountain river flowing from an unknown source. This river gushed down and turned into a waterfall in front of the rock, rushing into the endless abyss below. The water that collided with the mountain wall splashed white water all over the sky. From the abyss below, there was a deafening roar, and water splashed everywhere.
Qin Shi and the other two people's gazes simultaneously shifted towards the waterfall. At this point, they should have believed that Shangguan Feng knew the geographical environment of this place from a very far place. Obviously, what he said should be true. The lair of the Poison Shadow Tribe was hidden in this waterfall. Who would have thought that there would be another world inside the waterfall?
This place indeed seemed exposed, but in fact, it was very well hidden.
Looking at the waterfall, everyone's expressions changed. Something like the Thunder Heart involved the question of ownership. Qin Shi didn't move at first, but looked at Shangguan Feng. At this time, the seriously injured Zhao Yunlong was automatically ignored by them.
Shangguan Feng smiled brightly and said, "Actually, I already have an answer to this question in my heart. Actually, there is a reason why I brought you here. Of course, the Thunder Heart belongs to you, and I don't have the ability to compete with you. However, I also have a request. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given this Thunder Heart to you for nothing. Am I right?"
These words were said to Qin Shi.
As for Zhao Yunlong, he could only sulk with an ashen face. After all, his life was saved by Qin Shi in the end.
"What are your conditions?"
Hearing Shangguan Feng say this, Qin Shi finally let out a sigh of relief. Previously, she had always felt that something was wrong. Shangguan Feng clearly knew that she was strong, so why did he still bring her to the Thunder Heart? After they arrived, who would the Thunder Heart belong to?
Now, she had the answer.
Shangguan Feng smiled and said, "My Shangguan family has also helped you in the past. Of course, this is all in the past, and it's meaningless to talk about it now. I'll be straightforward. I want the Soaring Heaven Stalactite. I've already obtained my family's eighth grade God Tier body-refining battle skill, the Soaring Heaven Divine Body. Only the Soaring Heaven Stalactite can help me succeed in a short period of time. I know that the World King once bestowed the Soaring Heaven Stalactite to you, so …"
Qin Shi was speechless. She murmured, "I didn't expect you to actually obtain the Soaring Heaven Divine Body. Congratulations. As for the Soaring Heaven Stalactite …"
Qin Shi thought about it carefully. Using the Soaring Heaven Stalactite to exchange for the Thunder Heart was actually a great deal. The value of the Thunder Heart far exceeded the Soaring Heaven Stalactite. Shangguan Feng's boldness to use the Thunder Heart to exchange for the most suitable Soaring Heaven Stalactite was something that Qin Shi greatly admired.
"I can only wait until I obtain the Thunder Heart before I give the Soaring Heaven Stalactite to you." Qin Shi thought about it for a while, then said in detail.
"Naturally. Let's go together," Shangguan Feng said with a smile.
Hearing him say this, Qin Shi felt a little embarrassed. She felt like she was gauging the heart of a gentleman with her own mean measure. At this moment, all her previous doubts were suddenly cleared up. It seemed that Shangguan Feng was still the same as when he was young. He was a good gentleman.
Only then did Qin Shi let down her guard against Shangguan Feng.
As for Zhao Yunlong, he was ignored by the two of them. Just as he was about to speak, Shangguan Feng looked at him coldly and said, "As for you, just stay here. Remember, the Thunder Heart is not yours. If you have any ideas, you will only be courting death. Don't forget that we have an agreement in the Nine Underworlds. As long as we are in the Nine Underworlds Demon Mountain, any life or death is not a grudge, so you understand."
What Shangguan Feng meant was that if Zhao Yunlong didn't listen to him, he would mercilessly attack him.
Zhao Yunlong looked at Shangguan Feng, then at Qin Shi, and said with a cold gaze, "Remember this."
Shangguan Feng snorted coldly. Without another word, he and Qin Shi headed towards the waterfall.
Long Chen was already very close to them. Long Chen had heard the conversation just now, but he still found it strange. Was the Soaring Heaven Stalactite really Shangguan Feng's goal? But there was no Thunder Heart in the waterfall at all.
Long Chen was confused by Shangguan Feng.
When Shangguan Feng and Qin Shi approached the waterfall, everything was finally answered. This was because when the two of them were floating in the air, Shangguan Ya suddenly attacked Qin Shi, who was very close to him.
A ray of green light shot out from Shangguan Feng's hand and into Qin Shi's body. Because of their previous conversation, Qin Shi already trusted Shangguan Feng. She had never imagined that Shangguan Feng would make a move at this time.
