While everyone marveled, they also felt some regret. If Feng Xi's dantian hadn't been damaged, she would've absolutely been a stunning and peerless genius!
Thinking of this, they felt a few more degrees of dislike toward Shen Zhilan, who had harmed Feng Xi.
She had ruined a genius!
Baili Muchen was practically a chameleon!
For the first time, he felt a trace of regret about taking Shen Zhilan as a direct disciple.
Before accepting this final disciple, Hunyuan Sect had stood alone at the top among the four great sects. He had always had the final say, he had never lost face like this!
But that thought vanished in an instant.
Zhilan possessed a top-grade water spiritual root. She was a cultivation genius and a darling favored by the Heavenly Dao. Even if her character was flawed, it could be corrected!
He said with thick-skin, "Everyone, now is not the time for reminiscing. I trouble you all to accompany me to the interior to rescue those few wretches!
Rest assured, once we return to the sect, I will strictly discipline them and make them cleanse their hearts and reform!
As long as we can bring them back safely, Hunyuan Sect is willing to yield one-tenth of this year's share of the Heaven-Bestowed Spirit Mine."
Since he had already said this much, Hu Wankui and the others couldn't say more.
Moreover, the four great sects shared the same breath and branches. If they watched the spectacle now, then when their own direct disciples encountered danger, others would also stand by.
Xiao Baidao and the others originally wanted the disciples to return to the sect first, but Feng Xi and the rest were unwilling and insisted on waiting in the edge region for them to return.
Feng Xi even lent the Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear and the wolf pack to Xiao Baidao and the others. Though once in the interior they would all be small weaklings, at least they could serve as mounts and conserve strength.
Xiao Baidao thought what his little disciple said made sense and didn't refuse.
Feng Xi also disciplined the Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear and the wolf king again to prevent them from causing trouble.
In truth, even if they had that intention, they didn't have the courage!
Among those who came this time, the weakest were mid Nascent Soul Stage elders, all far stronger than them.
After Xiao Baidao and the others left, Feng Xi didn't idle either. She led the direct disciples to continue looting in the edge region.
As long as it could be sold for money, nothing was spared!
Five days later, Xiao Baidao and the others returned.
Shen Zhilan and the other four were also rescued.
Aside from Shen Zhilan being unscathed, Mu Zihuai and the others were injured, and Mo Xiuyuan had nearly lost half his life.
Feng Xi keenly noticed that Baili Muchen seemed somewhat excited.
She soon learned the reason.
Baili Muchen cupped his hands toward Xiao Baidao and the other two, "Many thanks to the three of you for your assistance. Zhilan has turned misfortune into blessing this time.
Thousand-Year Ice Souls are rare and hard to obtain, it is a sacred item for treating divine sense.
She found three at once. Truly a cause for celebration!"
Xiao Baidao and the others felt somewhat sour inside.
Shen Zhilan had been teleported to the interior of the Extreme Cold Ice Plains and not only remained safe, but even found Thousand-Year Ice Soul. She's clearly favored by the Heavenly Dao!
Then they heard Feng Xi say in confusion, "Are Thousand-Year Ice Souls very precious? Isn't this stuff everywhere?!"
After speaking, she took out a jade box from her storage ring, removed one Ice Soul, and tossed it casually in her hand.
Seeing this, Jun Wen also took out his two pieces, one in each hand.
"Exactly. This stuff is so ordinary. I can't even be bothered to want it."
Xing Wu and the others also took out their allotted Ice Souls, each wearing an expression of slight… disdain.
Only Qin Shifeng, that honest child, though he also took out his Ice Soul, kept his head lowered the whole time.
Earlier, when Xiao Baidao and the others had arrived, they were anxious to rescue people, so there was no time to discuss the matter of the Ice Souls.
Now, seeing so many Ice Souls, their eyes nearly popped out!
Xiao Baidao coughed, "Sect Leader Baili, looking at it this way, Ice Souls really don't seem to be that rare."
Hu Wankui nodded, "Yes. I wouldn't say it's everywhere, but it's quite close."
Lu Zhenkuan said in a reproachful tone, "These children are really too good at hiding things. With such good items, you should show them off!
Look at Hunyuan Sect's disciples, they're different!
Whenever they get good things, they can't wait for the whole world to know!
It was like that with Yunxiao Sect's treasure before, and now with the Ice Souls too. You all should learn from them in the future."
Baili Muchen's face turned green!
His old face burned hot!
It had to be at this moment when Feng Xi said, "Shen Zhilan, we people share blessings and share hardships, so we divided the Ice Souls evenly.
How do you plan on allocating your three Ice Souls?
You're not going to keep them all to yourself, are you?!"
Shen Zhilan, of course, wanted to keep them all to herself.
Why should she share the things she found with those wastes?!
She gritted her teeth, "I will hand the Ice Souls over to the sect. At that time, the sect will decide."
Feng Xi: "Oh."
Then she said nothing more.
Mu Zihuai had no particular reaction, but the expressions of Mo Xiuyuan and the other two immediately turned unpleasant.
They now had a great dissatisfaction with Shen Zhilan.
They even began to agree with Feng Xi, Shen Zhilan is a jinx!
Following her had brought them bloody misfortune!
She enjoyed all the benefits alone and the unlucky matters all fell to them!
Baili Muchen no longer had the face to remain. He forced out a few polite words and left with Shen Zhilan and the others.
After they departed, Xing Wu said to Feng Xi, "Little Junior Sister, you and Sect Leader Xiao should ride our Beast-Taming Sect's flying ship!
We can talk along the way!"
As soon as Liu Shaobai heard this, he hurriedly said, "Little Junior Sister, the Beast-Taming Sect's flying ship isn't as spacious as our Wan Jian Sect's. You should ride ours!"
Others also crowded over, chattering, asking Feng Xi to ride their sect's flying ship.
At first it was fairly civilized. Later, the direct disciples of Beast-Taming Sect and Wan Jian Sect were already cursing at each other!
There was only one objective, to have Feng Xi ride their flying ship.
Hu Wankui: "..."
Lu Zhenkuan: "..."
Putting other matters aside, is it appropriate for you all to directly call Feng Xi "Little Junior Sister"?
She is a Xuantian Sect disciple, alright?!
In the end, Feng Xi chose Beast-Taming Sect's flying ship.
Because Beast-Taming Sect was along the way.
The Wan Jian Sect disciples had no choice but to give up. When leaving, all of them were reluctant. Song Yudie even cried out a face full of ice beads.
Lu Zhenkuan: "..."
Why don't you all just roll over to Xuantian Sect!
On Beast-Taming Sect's side, laughter filled the air as they crowded around Feng Xi and boarded the flying ship.
Xiao Baidao and Hu Wankui who were nearly squeezed off the gangway: "..."
As the flying ship became a small black dot, a roar came from the Extreme Cold Ice Plains.
The Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear was about to explode from anger!
Liar!
Big liar!
You said that before you left, you would release the contract between us!
You didn't forget, did you?!
