This feeling is really strange, even Chu Feng himself feels at a loss.
He clearly saw this person for the first time, how could he have such a familiar feeling? And this familiarity was very different from seeing Su Mei wearing a black robe, leaving Chu Feng unable to explain, and couldn't think of any reason, it came out of nowhere.
"What's the meaning of this summons?"
Suddenly, he spoke up, his tone cold and arrogant, high above, as if he were a superior god questioning a group of mediocre mortals, looking down on them with disdain and indifference.
"Respectfully addressing the elder, I am a descendant of Yin Feng Ancient Village. Today, I have called you out because our village's treasured heirloom, Yin Feng's Frosty Ice, has been stolen."
"So I'd like to ask the seniors to display their abilities, operate the formation, and help me find out where the person who stole the Ice Seal is hiding, so that I can retrieve it as soon as possible and prevent a great disaster." The old village chief, Ma, said with great respect and humility.
"Has the seal of cold ice been stolen? Then you've already brewed a great disaster." The man sneered and said, "The ancient village of Yin Feng is really getting worse with each generation. Back then, they lost something and that was it, but now they can't even protect the seal of cold ice, they're simply useless."
"Get out of here, I won't help you." The cold-looking person waved their hand dismissively.
When they heard this, Miao Renlong and others were stunned, with a look of surprise and incomprehension on their faces. Especially Sima Rong was completely stunned.
What kind of formation is this? You dare to insult the master like this, do you know that even if you're extremely powerful, you're just a wisp of energy, only used to activate this formation, what's there to be arrogant about?
At this thought, Sima Hui flew into a rage and pointed at the man, scolding him: "How dare you speak like that? We didn't come here to beg from you."
"Who is this dead girl, daring to speak to me like that?" As expected, although he was just a breath of air, he wasn't someone to be trifled with. His gaze suddenly turned cold, and the temperature in this space also dropped instantly, changing from spring to winter in an instant.
Most importantly, a fierce and ferocious killing intent was rapidly sweeping towards Sima Ying with a terrifying speed.
"Elder, please calm down." Seeing that things were going terribly wrong, Miao Renlong quickly pulled Sima Ying behind him. At the same time, he concentrated his mind and condensed a golden defensive shield in front of him, blocking the killing intent that was coming their way.
"You think you can be arrogant in front of me, just because you're at the Half-Emperor peak? Don't even mention my master's power, I alone was enough to suppress you with one hand back then." The person's face showed extreme displeasure as their killing intent was blocked.
However, at this moment, Chu Feng and others also discovered that although the man's aura was extremely terrifying, his actual strength was not so powerful, and he was only slightly stronger than Miao Renlong.
But even so, Chu Feng didn't dare underestimate him, after all he was just a wisp of breath, and still the breath used to activate the formation.
Every time the formation is activated, his strength will weaken. According to Old Man Ma, this formation has been activated several times before, which means that the power of this wisp of aura has already been greatly reduced.
Otherwise, maybe just as he said, he could really suppress Miao Renlong and others with one hand, and his original strength was as terrifying as his current breath.
But compared to this breath of air, Chu Feng was even more curious, just how strong was the master of this breath of air back then?
And what kind of strength does the so-called Bow Emperor possess? What kind of strength does Qingxuantian possess? What kind of strength do those true emperors who once ruled an era actually have?
"This senior, the junior has no intention of offending, but Han He not only stole the treasure of Yin Feng Ancient Village, but also a murderer who cannot be forgiven."
"The number of people he killed is countless, and many of those who were killed by him were actually people who believed in him and regarded him as a friend."
"This young lady, named Sima Rong, her parents, her grandfather, all of her closest relatives were killed by Han Hao."
"Nowadays, Han He is still at large and you are the only one who can find out his whereabouts."
"Ying'er is eager for revenge, and has wronged many people. I hope you won't treat him as an equal." Miao Renlong said with a humble tone, speaking as a junior would.
"This Miao Ren Long is very clever, he knows that such a person can't be forced, after all, he has to ask for something from the other party." For Miao Ren Long's humble and flattering behavior, Dan Dan was quite appreciative.
"Miao Qianbei is indeed not simple, able to yield and stretch, and has not put down his body because of his current position. This spirit is worth my study." Chu Feng also praised Miao Renlong's actions.
"Elder, this matter is indeed of great importance, which is why I've come to disturb you. I hope you can help me out; otherwise, the ancient village of Yin may be doomed to decline."
"Elder, junior begs of you." Just then, Old Man Ma, the village chief, suddenly "thudded" and fell to his knees, knocking his head on the ground with a sincere expression.
Compared with Miao Renlong and others, he more urgently hopes to get the help of this formation, after all, it concerns the survival of Yin Feng Ancient Village.
"Haha......" At this moment, that strand of breath suddenly laughed, laughing very lightly and even sarcastically.
“……”
But such a smile made Chu Feng and others frown, speechless. They all felt that asking this formation for help seemed hopeless.
"To be honest, I really sympathize with you, but I want to ask you a question." However, suddenly, the person spoke again.
"Elder, please speak." Ma Lao, Village Head, Miao Ren Long, and Chu Feng all spoke in unison. They all hoped that this formation could help them, even if this hope was extremely slim.
"What if there were four strangers who came before you, told you a lot about their miserable lives and asked for your help? Would you help them?" the man asked.
"If everything is true and within my capabilities, I will definitely help," said Miao Renlong.
"Me too." Old Master Ma also nodded in agreement.
"Within your capabilities? Ha... if they need help, will it be at the cost of your lives?" The man asked with a smile.
"What? Life... " Upon hearing this, both Miao Renlong and Ma Lao Village Chief were slightly stunned, although they didn't show it too clearly, but Chu Feng could see that this question had really stumped them.
It's hard for everyone to live, and it's rare for someone to die for the people they love. To die for a stranger is simply impossible.
"Senior, can't you use the power of the formation again? If you use it again, you will... die?"
"Is it because of this that you refuse us?" Chu Feng suddenly spoke up.
"...". Upon hearing this, Miao Renlong and Ma Lao Village Chief, as well as Sima Ying all had a flash of insight in their eyes, suddenly enlightened.
They initially thought that this person was asking such a question just to make things difficult for them, but when Chu Feng asked the question, they suddenly realized.
The formation, some are eternal and long-lasting, but others have a limited number of uses. This formation is driven by breath, and each use weakens the breath once. One day, the breath will be exhausted, and the formation will disperse.
It now appears that this formation is the latter. Otherwise, he would absolutely not be so hesitant to lend a hand, after all, it concerns his life.
"Haha, two old men who have lived for many years are actually not as cunning as you, a little devil."
"Kid, what you said is right. The master who left me here indeed wanted me to help the people of Yinfeng Ancient Village, but the power he gave me was also very limited."
"Many years ago, in order to help these good-for-nothings from Yīnfēng Gǔ Cūn village, I had already expended a considerable amount of energy."
"Now, the power that Master gave me is almost exhausted. If I were to activate the formation again, I would surely die, and this world would no longer have me."
"Although I am just a wisp of breath, although I can only stay here, waiting for tens of thousands of years, feeling extremely miserable, life is not as good as death."
"But the thought of it, I really am going to die, is truly unbearable. Let me tell you, I've heard a famous saying that goes 'it's better to live in shame than to die with honor', and now I can deeply relate to it."
"Although life is bitter and living is miserable, as long as one is alive, it's better than being dead."
"It's better to live a life of shame than to die a good death." The man said with a bitter smile.
