The leader of the men in black laughed icily and stopped fighting, starting to retreat already. Lin Feng had disappeared in Kuang Zhan's energies already. The other men in black naturally all stopped fighting. Zhao Ming Jun and Zi Jing Xiao stood together. Chu Chun Qiu was standing on the ground. He looked at the dark energies in the distance, which looked like black fire. He couldn't detect Lin Feng's Qi anymore.
Lin Feng, are you really dead already? You've gone through so many hardships in life, did you really just die, just like that? Chu Chun Qiu couldn't believe it. Lin Feng and he had been enemies for so many years. He had always hated yet admired his rival. Was he dead already?
Zi Jing Xiao looked grim. Lin Feng was dead? They weren't going to succeed now. The men in black would quickly kill Qing Ling Xuan and the others, then Zi Jing Xiao and Zhao Ming Jun would be alone against the five men.
They didn't even need to ask themselves how it would end up. They would lose and die, and wouldn't manage to save Qing Xin Yue. Even if they tried to escape from Ju Valley, they would probably fail. Lin Feng was their best asset, and now he was dead. The men in black now had the advantage!
"I knew we shouldn't have trusted Lin Feng," said Zhao Ming Jun glumly. He regretted they had let Lin Feng make the most important decision.
"What is the point in saying that now?" said Zi Jing Xiao, sighing helplessly. Everything had happened too quickly and they had been caught unprepared.
"Hehe, we're going to give you a chance now. Zhao Ming Jun and Zi Jing Xiao, you can leave Ju Valley, both of you. We won't kill you. What do you think?" asked the leader of the men in black, paying careful attention to Zi Jing Xiao and Zhao Ming Jun's expressions. They knew how difficult it would be to defeat them. If Zhao Ming Jun and Zi Jing Xiao left, the men in black would be able to defeat all the others easily.
The atmosphere became dreary. Zi Jing Xiao and Zhao Ming Jun glanced at one another. They both looked hesitant. When Hun Cang and Qing Ling Xuan saw that, their expressions swiftly fell. If Zi Jing Xiao and Zhao Ming Jun left, then Hun Cang and the others would die!
They didn't even need to ask themselves how. Without Zhao Ming Jun and Zi Jing Xiao, they were sure to die. On top of that, they wouldn't be able to save Qing Xin Yue.
Chu Chun Qiu wasn't in the mood to think about those things. He was still blankly staring at the dark vortex. It seemed like it was still burning. However, if Lin Feng had died, shouldn't the dark vortex vanish? Why didn't it vanish?
There was something wrong. Lin Feng! Ah, Lin Feng, you're not dead! Lin Feng! You've been through so much in life, you definitely have trump cards! You couldn't just die like that!
But if you're not dead, how did you survive? What did you do inside? Did you have a plan? What is your secret?
Thinking about that, Chu Chun Qiu looked thoughtful. Indeed, Lin Feng wasn't dead. Lin Feng was probably just wasting time, but he was probably going to act quickly, because if he didn't, the men in black would notice there was something wrong.
"Zhao Ming Jun, Zi Jing Xiao… you can leave," said Chu Chun Qiu, walking over to Zi Jing Xiao and Zhao Ming Jun.
When the men in black clothes heard Chu Chun Qiu, the five of them looked at him. Chu Chun Qiu managed to draw their attention.

Lin Feng was still in the vortex, and took a deep breath when he heard that. Initially, he was worried that the men in black would notice he wasn't dead, but Chu Chun Qiu had understood and was helping him. They had been rivals for so long, Chu Chun Qiu understood Lin Feng's way of thinking.
"Thank you for helping me, Master," Lin Feng thanked Shi Si Ming telepathically. Shi Si Ming was back in his ring. Lin Feng felt touched and moved. Shi Si Ming didn't reply. He was extremely weak at this moment. He couldn't intervene again, or he would die.
If he intervened again, his soul would disperse. Shi Si Ming wasn't ready to risk his life for Lin Feng, but he had already helped so much so Lin Feng was naturally moved and grateful.
"Master, you did so much for me. I am very grateful. Since it's that way, I will show you my most precious trump card. I will put you in my spirit world. It will be extremely beneficial for both of us," Lin Feng told him, taking a deep breath and getting ready to put Shi Si Ming's soul in his spirit world. Once in Lin Feng's spirit world, Shi Si Ming would recover very quickly.
Shi Si Ming had no reason to tell other people about Lin Feng's spirit world, so he wouldn't do so.
Lin Feng transferred Shi Si Ming from his space ring to his spirit world. When Shi Si Ming arrived, he sensed an incredible life strength. He was extremely moved.
"Thank you, Lin Feng, hahaha!" Shi Si Ming burst into laughter. He was so happy. The life strength in Lin Feng's spirit world was incredible, a hundred times more powerful than in the Country of Eternity!
"Master, my family members are inside. Please don't disturb them," Lin Feng said.
Shi Si Ming nodded. He would be discreet. He just needed to find a suitable place to help his soul strength recover.
Lin Feng now had a new plan. He needed to kill Kuang Zhan. He would kill him like he had killed Xie Mu, by putting him in his spirit world.
Lin Feng was the ultimate ruler of his spirit world. In there, with the strength of the second Great Supreme God layer, he could kill Kuang Zhan. After making up his mind, Lin Feng looked at Chu Chun Qiu. Chu Chun Qiu was wasting time for him. Lin Feng just needed to recover a little and then he would kill Kuang Zhan.
Chu Chun Qiu's reaction surprised the men in black. Qing Ling Xuan was infuriated!
"Chu Chun Qiu, are you insane? Do you want to do like Yuan Feng and betray us?!" shouted Qing Ling Xuan explosively. How could Chu Chun Qiu decide to abandon Qing Xin Yue?!
Chu Chun Qiu was causing trouble on purpose now! How infuriating!
Zi Jing Xiao and Zhao Ming Jun were surprised. Zhao Ming Jun asked, "Why do you want us to leave? Don't you want to get your reward as well?"
"I do. Of course I do! I am not stupid. I wouldn't give up on that reward. But nothing is more important than life. Right?" said Chu Chun Qiu, studying the men in black.
The five men were surprised, but at the same time, they looked at him in admiration. He was helping them get rid of Zi Jing Xiao and Zhao Ming Jun; it was a wonderful opportunity for them.
"Of course, nothing is more important than life. You saw Lin Feng die; if you hadn't come here, nobody would have died. What do you think?" said the leader of the men in black smiling in amusement. With Chu Chun Qiu's support, they had the impression their plan was working, so they tried to convince Zhao Ming Jun and Zi Jing Xiao.
Chu Chun Qiu looked at them, then glanced at the dark vortex. It was gradually shrinking. At that moment, he grinned. His plan had worked!
Chu Chun Qiu turned around again and smiled indifferently, "Of course, no matter what you decide, I'm on your side. We're a team after all, right? If you leave, we die, right?" said Chu Chun Qiu gravely and seriously.
Zi Jing Xiao frowned. He realized that Chu Chun Qiu was saying contradictory things. What was he trying to do? He frowned.
Chu Chun Qiu knew that Zi Jing Xiao was puzzled, so it was time to tell him.
"Zi Jing Xiao, Lin Feng isn't dead. Don't be surprised. He had a plan, so I was just wasting time," Chu Chun Qiu told Zi Jing Xiao telepathically. Zi Jing Xiao's expression shifted for a few seconds, but he quickly tried to look normal again.
Zi Jing Xiao turned around and looked at the vortex. It was still shrinking and had almost disappeared. Lin Feng's Qi gradually emerged again. As expected, he wasn't dead!
Zi Jing Xiao was surprised. Lin Feng had survived such an incredible attack? If Zi Jing Xiao had been the victim of that attack, he might have died. But Lin Feng, a cultivator of the second Great Supreme God layer, had survived?
Zi Jing Xiao realized Lin Feng was more complex than he had thought. He was a real and incredible young genius. A bright future awaited him! Zi Jing Xiao wasn't jealous, just admiring.
