It's impossible for them not to be panicked!
For Bi Bidong, this was also a kind of disgrace, as she had never once managed to defeat the enemy outright, only ever achieving a draw or partial victory.
"Ye Feng, is what you're saying really the truth, or does it feel like you're playing us?"
The Elder spoke.
This Elder had always been critical of Ye Feng because he had been very responsible in everything he did for Bi Bidong. Thus, seeing Ye Feng fail to capture the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the Elder harbored great suspicions toward him!
"I have never spoken a half-lie, whether you choose to believe it or not is up to you. Anyway, you'll understand whether I'm telling the truth soon enough."
Ye Feng stated flatly.
Everyone's gaze turned towards him!
"To think of the luck needed to encounter senior Tang Hao."
At that moment, Evil Moon asked with a puzzled face.
This confused everyone.
The statement made it seem like they had never met Tang Hao before, as if finding him would be easy! They could search the entire Aquipeia Forest or, failing that, simply kill Tang San. Tang Hao would definitely appear then!
Tang San was his weakness; no one dared to harm him in his presence!
"Hmm, Evil Moon, your words are quite ridiculous. Tang Hao is only about ten kilometers away from us. If you run fast now, you can meet him," Ye Feng laughed and said.
This stunned Evil Moon, who grew more and more incredulous of Ye Feng's words the more he heard them.
Do you think Evil Moon is mad? He had no major conflict with senior Tang Hao, they were merely strangers. However, being part of the Martial Soul Hall meant that he had deep conflicts with Tang Hao and others, and if Bi Bidong gave the order to go to war, Evil Moon would have to follow her command!
Since Ye Feng purposefully let Xiaowu escape, his trust in Ye Feng had also diminished.
After all, Ye Feng was not exactly a full-fledged member of the Martial Soul Hall; he was more an outsider!!
"Everyone, say less, quiet down for me."
Suddenly, Bi Bidong spoke out.
Bi Bidong was tired of their endless prattle; her ears had almost grown calloused from it.
"Ye Feng, regardless of whether your words are true or false, I only want what is mine," she said, her clear, beautiful eyes looking ahead, her belief in encountering the hundred-thousand-year soul beast unshaken.
I hope they don't discover Xiaowu, for if they do, it's over; they'd definitely suspect me! But, I could find a chance to sneak a peek at Xiaowu. If she's awake, she wouldn't just obediently stay put but would seize the opportunity to escape.
Xiaowu is also quite impulsive and would surely find someone to seek revenge on behalf of me, like Tang San.
"Your Holiness, I'm really sorry, but I have an urgent matter that needs to be attended to right away. You guys go on ahead without me, okay? I'll catch up with you on the road later," Ye Feng said, clutching his stomach.
Bi Bidong looked at Ye Feng clutching his stomach and probably understood what he meant.
She waved her hand dismissively, her face filled with aversion, letting him be as Ye Feng wouldn't dare run away!
"Ye Feng, what are you up to, leaving me to move forward alone with this bunch of people?" Du Gubo spoke in an angry tone.
He wanted to go with Ye Feng too!
Ye Feng glanced at Du Gubo hesitantly, wondering whether or not to bring Old Poison along!
After all, Du Gubo had been working with him for many years, helping to manage Qing Feng Tea House and taking responsibility for the affairs of the sect quite reliably.
"Old Poison, haven't you seen what I'm about to do? If you're not disgusted, I need to find a place for a deep squat for a while, so it won't be resolved in a moment or two. You go on ahead with Her Holiness, and I'll catch up with you quickly, okay?" Ye Feng said, feeling very uncomfortable as he could no longer hold it.
"Sizzle—!"
Suddenly, a foul odor assaulted them.
Almost knocking everyone out, their first reaction was to cover their noses, struggling to breathe for thirty seconds!
However, Du Gubo didn't cover his nose. It might be that his nose had lost its sense of smell and hadn't detected the strange odor!
He watched as the people around him one by one covered their noses with expression full of perplexity.
"What's happened to you guys?"
Du Gubo asked in a curious manner.
Some of them looked like they were in so much pain that they were about to die!!
"They're scared off by the strong fart smell I'm giving off," said Ye Feng. "Old Poison, are you sure you didn't smell anything unpleasant at all?!"
Ye Feng had that odor because he had taken a pill with a special smell that caused him to emit the foul gas.
He couldn't believe that Old Poison was unaffected by his smell; maybe Du Gubo inherently had a toxin in his body that acted as an antidote to special gases!
"Old Poison, come with me. Anyway, you would be going back alone, so why not have some company?"
Du Gubo nodded in agreement, deciding to accompany Ye Feng.
Everyone was flabbergasted and couldn't believe their eyes. Du Gubo was actually going to accompany Ye Feng; how strong his taste must be!!
"I can't hold on much longer; let's get moving quickly," Ye Feng said to the others.
As Ye Feng left, the smell also began to disperse gradually.
"I suddenly have a different opinion of Brother Ye Feng. He is quite unique, haha," Hulena said.
At the same time, her face was full of awkwardness, given she had been calling him 'Brother' all along!
But she hadn't expected Ye Feng would be like this. They had only been together for a mere seven days.
"Old Flayer, go ahead. I'll wait for you here," said another person to Old Poison and Ye Feng.
Soon they reached Xiaowu's location!
"Old Poison, are you rejecting me now? Are you not planning to accompany me?" Ye Feng said, clutching his stomach.
Du Gubo turned around; if not out of repulsion, then what?
He was worried that if Ye Feng ran away and left him with the people from Martial Soul Hall, and outsiders saw him with Martial Soul Hall, it would be hard to explain.
So, he had to stick with Ye Feng to avoid misunderstandings.
"Come on, Old Poison. I have a surprise to show you," Ye Feng exclaimed.
At that moment, Du Gubo's brain began to clutter.
What situation was this? It was just Lagos, and yet he spoke of a surprise—that foul-smelling claim instantly made one feel like vomiting.
Having no choice, Du Gubo followed Ye Feng after hearing his words.
"What's going on, Ye Feng? You're deceiving everyone. How dare you go against the Pope's decree like this," someone said.
"Alright then, I think I understand your intentions," Du Gubo said, in disbelief at what he was seeing.
He watched, wide-eyed, as Xiaowu lay motionless at their feet.
It was possible she was truly dead. Around five hours had passed, and Xiaowu had not yet come to, which was what Ye Feng feared the most. Fortunately, she hadn't run away.
"Shh! Keep it down, don't let them find out," Ye Feng hissed.
"So what's your plan, then? Do you also want to possess the hundred-thousand-year soul ring for yourself? Aren't you afraid that Bi Bidong will find out? If they find out you've done something that goes against the conscience of Martial Soul Hall, they will chop off your head without mercy, and then I won't be able to help you," Elder Flayer said in a serious tone.
"Your abilities and courage seem to be growing; if Tang San and his father find out, they won't let you off lightly either. You are now seen as a thorn in many people's sides," Du Gubo continued gravely.
Even if he became a thorn in others' eyes, Ye Feng wasn't afraid at all, because after all, he was determined to become the most powerful Godking of the entire Douluo Realm!
