"You … you guys!"
Xiao Yuan crawled up from the ground and looked at his crippled arm. He hated Du Feng and the Kenji. He hated them for not helping him. He wanted to say something but was stopped by Xiao Hong.
Du Feng didn't leave them to die. He killed two demonic beasts to save Little Zi. If not for Du Feng killing those two demonic beasts, she and Xiao Yuan would have died sooner or later. As for the Kenji, who dared to say that he was wrong? The fact that he didn't kill the two of them personally was already a great benevolence.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Yuan stomped his feet and shouted for Xiao Hong and Little Zi to leave together.
This … Xiao Hong was in a difficult position. Xiao Yuan was injured and had lost the ability to fight. Little Zi hadn't broken through to the perfected Ultimate Emperor realm yet. She was the only one left. She couldn't protect everyone and leave safely. Even if they didn't continue forward, they wouldn't be able to handle the journey back.
"Are you going or not? If not, I'll go alone."
Xiao Hong couldn't do anything about Xiao Yuan's stubbornness. She could only agree to go with him. She still loved her younger brother and couldn't bear to let him die. Thus, Little Zi was in a difficult position. Although she was young, she could tell right from wrong. If she really left with Xiao Yuan, there was a 99% chance that she would die in the Chaos Zone.
"I … I want to …"
Little Zi's lips moved. She wanted to say that she wanted to go with Du Feng.
"Why? You're the descendant of the Xiao Clan. Are you going to follow someone else like a dog?"
Xiao Yuan's words rebutted Little Zi's words. Little Zi was recognized as the most promising cultivator among the Xiao Clan's younger generation. Thus, she was sent to the Chaos Zone to train at a young age. As the descendant of the clan, she had to keep up appearances.
Right now, if Du Feng were to say something to let Little Zi stay, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Hong wouldn't dare to object. But he didn't say anything. After all, this was the Xiao Clan's matter. If Little Zi said that she wanted to follow Du Feng and Xiao Yuan didn't let her stay, then he would have a reason to interfere.
In the end, Little Zi didn't say that, so Du Feng didn't interfere. He watched as her frail figure left behind Xiao Yuan and Xiao Hong.
"Are you really willing to let that little girl go?"
Kenji looked at Du Feng in confusion.
"Even you, Great Hero Jian, are willing to do so. Why wouldn't I?"
Du Feng knew very well that he couldn't intervene at this moment. If he forcefully left Xiao Zi behind and Xiao Yuan and Xiao Hong died, he would become the murderer of the Xiao Clan's descendants. Kenji was so famous, but he didn't intervene in the internal affairs of the Xiao family. He still had to take care of the people in the extreme north, so he couldn't intervene in this matter.
The other team already had some results. First, Qiao Fu had killed a Magical Beast. After that, everyone ganged up on the remaining four magical beasts and killed them all. One of the young male martial artists was slightly injured, but it was not a big deal.
After the battle, the youngsters had all received training, and the two elders had also played their role. Naturally, everyone was very happy.
"Thank you, Lord Ice King!"
After putting away his weapon, Qiao Kui was the first to go forward and thank Lord Ice King. He only thanked Du Feng but not Kenji, making the atmosphere a little awkward. It was as if Du Feng was the savior.
"Thank you, Great Hero Jian!"
Kenji looked slightly displeased. Fortunately, three youngsters came over to thank Great Hero Jian, so he managed to save some face.
Although Qiao Qianqian was thanking Kenji, she was actually sneaking glances at Du Feng. After Xiao Hong and Ah Zi left, she was the only young girl left. It was a good opportunity for her to interact with Du Feng. She already understood that as long as she didn't take the initiative to leave, Du Feng and Kenji wouldn't chase her away.
"Sirs, why don't you let me lead the way?"
The young male warrior next to Qiao Qianqian was very attentive. He knew that even if he reached the Ultimate Emperor Realm in the future, he wouldn't be able to compare to Kenji and Du Feng. It was better to build a good relationship with them first. Even if he left the Zone of Chaos, he could still ask them for help.
This young warrior was called Qiao Mingming. He had a Purple Crowned Eagle, so he had good eyesight and could see things from a long distance. Taking advantage of this advantage, he swaggered in front of them. He observed his surroundings as he walked.
"Lord Ice King, how old are you? Don't tell me you're younger than me."
"Lord Ice King, I heard you defeated the Poison Emperor. What happened back then?"
"Brother Du Feng, why aren't you saying anything? Do you not like me?"
Qiao Qianqian was really talkative. She kept asking questions along the way. She also gradually changed the way she addressed him from Lord Soldier King to Brother Du Feng. Qiao Kui didn't stop her, and was even secretly amused. He thought to himself that even heroes had a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman. His great-granddaughter might not be very talented, but she was quite pretty. If they could form a good relationship with the Ice King, then the Qiao Clan's power would increase.
The Qiao Clan wasn't an ancient clan like the Xiao Clan, and they didn't live in Kun Mountain. Instead, they lived in seclusion on an island. Because the island had good resources and was located in a secluded area, the Qiao Clan had produced a few experts after living there for a long time.
For example, Qiao Fu was the famous Madman Qiao from a thousand years ago. Qiao Kui was a few generations away from him, but he could be considered a genius of the clan. However, this genius was getting on in years, and now he placed his hopes on Qiao Qianqian's generation.
The younger generation was more promising, and three of them had reached the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm. The Qiao Clan couldn't get their hands on the Emperor Breaking Pill, but they hoped that the younger generation would quickly break through to the Ultimate Emperor Realm. That was why they staked everything on this, sending the two most powerful seniors of the clan to bring the three youths into the Zone of Chaos to train.
This was the accumulation of the Qiao Family for more than a thousand years, which was why they had these five experts. If it weren't for Du Feng and the others rescuing them when they were being chased by the drum man, at least three of them would have died. Even Qiao Kui might have lost his life.
Du Feng didn't reply to Qiao Qianqian, but he didn't actually hate her. After all, she was quite pretty and had a good figure. She didn't say anything malicious; she was just a chatterbox.
Not good! Du Feng's expression changed, giving the Qiao Clan a fright. Especially Qiao Qianqian. She thought that she had offended the Ice King, and her eyes turned red with fright.
"Pfft!"
A gray shadow shot out, slicing through the space between Qiao Mingming's legs. It sliced right through the middle of his body and out the top of his head. A perfectly healthy person had been sliced in half just like that.
"Ah!"
