Chapter 379: Bad Intentions
Immediately, everyone began to move forward along the ridge.
Under Jiang Feiyan's influence, no matter how fiercely the battle between the King of Heavenly Prison and Yue Qian was going on, everyone stopped paying attention and moved forward firmly to the interior of the battlefield of Heavenly Prison.
Of course, some people have raised questions about this. What if the King of Heavenly Prison was directly killed by Yue Qian, or to be more alarmist, the King of Heavenly Prison defeated Yue Qian and directly broke through the defense line?
In this case, wouldn't their current actions be completely meaningless?
Jiang Feiyan's answer to this was very simple.
On the battlefield, orders are as strong as mountains. Since the order issued by the coalition headquarters has been accepted, it must be completed unswervingly. As for whether other accidents will occur in the middle, that is what the commander needs to consider, not her. If the most unfavorable situation really occurs, then we can only do our best and leave it to fate.
Hearing such an answer, everyone was silent.
Lu Yu couldn't help but think more highly of her, thinking to himself that perhaps it was because of her character that she was entrusted with such an important task by the Allied Forces Headquarters.
Advancing on the ridge was much easier than climbing to the top before. In less than half a day, they arrived at the area bordering the third area in the severe cold and strong wind.
Behind them, Master Yue Qian was still fighting fiercely with the King of Heavenly Prison, and thunder and lightning appeared from time to time in the sky.
"Let's go down the mountain!"
Jiang Feiyan gave an order, and everyone jumped down from the Desperate Mountains.
Although the most suitable landing point for the Desperate Mountains was only Jingfeng Valley, there were not so many restrictions if they came down. Suddenly, everyone was like a jumping frog, constantly looking for a suitable landing point, and falling straight down from the extremely high mountain.
Lu Yu didn't know how many times he jumped. He felt dizzy and sore. He finally got down to the foot of the mountain, but he was almost exhausted.
The others were obviously not much better. After rushing all the way, they didn't take a break and looked like they were about to collapse.
They decided to set up camp here to rest.
At this time, all the demon generals had followed the King of Heavenly Prison to the front line. It was very peaceful here compared to the team. There were only a few small fallen demons, which were not enough to threaten them.
However, even small fallen demons could not be relaxed at all, because they might pass on the information of finding everyone's traces, so that the King of Heavenly Prison would be aware of everyone's existence, which would affect the entire ambush plan.
So Jiang Feiyan not only arranged defense formations and warning formations around the camp, but also asked the disciples of the cover group to set up an illusion to cover the entire camp, so that the fallen demons could not realize that this was a large camp.
They began to rest in the tents. Because everyone was exhausted, the whole camp soon became quiet, and everyone entered a state of recovery.
Lu Yu was assigned to the same tent as the members of the original eight-man team. After he silently practiced the Nine-Turn Nirvana Sutra for more than a dozen cycles, his spirit became full again. At this time, he suddenly noticed that there was something unusual in the outside world, so he opened his eyes.
Ling Yufei was sitting cross-legged opposite him, staring at him without blinking.
Because her cultivation was more profound, the degree of loss of her true essence was not as great as that of the others, so she woke up first from her meditation, while the others were still motionless in meditation. Lu Yu was sensitive to her gaze, so he felt something unusual.
"Sister Ling, is there something wrong with my face? Why are you looking at me like this?" Lu Yu asked with a smile.
Ling Yufei didn't expect Lu Yu to wake up suddenly from meditation, and was immediately startled, but she saw Lu Yu's bright eyes looking back at her without blinking, and her spirit was shining. For some reason, her face suddenly turned red.
"I... I just... feel a little curious..."
"Curious about what?" Lu Yu asked.
Ling Yufei calmed down and said, "There are too many mysteries about you..."
"Junior Brother Xu can use the Yanyang Sword Art with the body of the ninth level of the True Yuan Realm. Huihui said that he is a rare genius. She also said that it has never been heard of that someone can use the Dao Art before the ninth level of the True Yuan Realm..."
"But you are only the sixth level of the True Yuan Realm, but not only can you use the Dao Art, but it is also extremely powerful, enough to fight against the King of the Heavenly Prison... If it is according to Huihui's words, how great a genius are you?"
"A genius like you, Why did you suddenly come to help us? Even if it was as you said, you wanted to find a team to take you to the Heavenly Prison battlefield, why did you not leave after entering the Heavenly Prison battlefield, but were willing to advance and retreat with us as a healer? With your strength, you don’t have to do this..."
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "So, Senior Sister Ling thinks that I approached you, maybe for some ulterior motive?"
Ling Yufei closed her starry eyes slightly, not daring to look at Lu Yu again. It was obvious that he was talking about his thoughts, but she insisted: "No... I just feel curious..."
Lu Yu smiled slightly: "Then let's reverse the situation. If I really have bad intentions, is there anything about Senior Sister Ling that is worth my bad intentions?"
Ling Yufei was speechless.
Indeed, what is there about this group of people that is worth his bad intentions?
Treasures, skills, resources?
If it was before, when she was still the guardian of the palace and in charge of a treasure house in the palace, it could at least be called a reason, but now she has completely lost her power. If she cannot successfully complete the task of compensation this time, she will be expelled from the palace and will have no use value at all...
But if this is not the case, then what is his purpose in approaching her?
After thinking about it, Ling Yufei could only think of one possibility, that is, as Lu Yu joked with Yu Xiaoyu and others, he was attracted by her beauty...
But such a reason is too far-fetched. Just thinking about it is enough to make her blush. How dare she say such a reason?
"If that's not the case, then tell me what exactly is the reason that makes you, a master, willing to mix in our team. I don't believe it's just a coincidence."
Thinking of the last, Ling Yufei couldn't help but feel discouraged, and asked Lu Yu with some shame and anger.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yu didn't make any sound.
Ling Yufei was slightly startled, looked up, and found that he seemed to be listening to something. Just as she was about to ask, she saw Lu Yu put his finger on his lips, signaling her not to make a sound.
Ling Yufei's heart trembled. Could it be that he noticed the movement of the fallen demon approaching? She couldn't help but hold her breath and listen carefully, but except for the rumbling sound coming from the distant sky, she didn't sense any movement.
However, Lu Yu on the opposite side suddenly stood up at this time, and there was a flash of flying flowers in the tent, and then he slipped out quietly.
Ling Yufei was stunned, and immediately stood up and slipped out behind Lu Yu.
