Because of how steep the path was, before reaching the top of the cliff, they had to pass through a nest.
On the way, Rong Fan was very excited. For a second generation like him, he didn't like to win by a hair's breadth. He liked to win with absolute strength.
Therefore, the fact that the two weak teams had combined to become a strong team made him look forward to this hunt.
"Still not there yet? I can't wait any longer."
Xiao Mu had a gloomy expression on his face.
"Brother Mu, why haven't you said a word the entire way? Are you thinking about something?" Xiao Mu's big brother, Xiao Ying, had a worried expression on his face.
Xiao Ying was in the 9th stage of qi refining. Even though his cultivation wasn't bad, his brain was only a bit better than Rong Fan's. It was as if his brain was stuffed with cotton. Whenever he needed to make a decision, he would have to ask Xiao Mu.
"Big brother, I feel like the Rong clan's second young master is too weak. His subordinates aren't that strong either. How could they find the nest so quickly?"
"This … You're looking down on the people who work for him." Xiao Ying smiled indifferently, thinking that his Brother Mu was being a little oversensitive.
"I hope so." Xiao Mu sighed, "I really want to finish the second mission quickly and teach Ye Zifeng a lesson in the third mission!"
Out of all these people, Wang Lin, Wang Ruoxing, Jin Peng, and Liu Yige had all been taught a lesson by Ye Zifeng. Only Xiao Mu hasn't experienced how scary Ye Zifeng was. He still thinks that Ye Zifeng relied on some sort of method to get to the top.
Seeing Xiao Mu's vicious expression, Liu Yige couldn't help but think of his past self. He couldn't help but remind Xiao Mu.
"I advise you, you'd better put away your thoughts and stop thinking about these useless things."
Xiao Mu was startled. Hearing this, he coldly raised his head and glared at Liu Yige.
"Hehe …. And here I was wondering who it was. So it's someone from the Liu clan."
The Liu clan used to be well-liked by the Xiao clan. However, ever since the Liu clan and Ye clan formed an alliance, the Liu clan became a fence-sitter. They would choose to side with whichever side was beneficial to them.
Hence, Xiao Mu wouldn't give Liu Yige any face.
"You don't have any balls. Don't make it sound like I'm the same as you. So what if I want to deal with Ye Zifeng? Do you think you can stop me? "Xiao Mu did not want to lose face for no reason as he coldly retorted.
"That's right. Almost all the brothers on our side are friends of the Xiao Family. Now, in order to make up 20 people, it's good enough that you, a member of the Liu Family, can stay. Do you still need to make irresponsible remarks to our Brother Mu?"
"You!"
Originally, Liu Yige didn't like Ye Zifeng at all. But now that he had changed his perspective, he was used to thinking from Ye Zifeng's perspective. Because of this, he realized that Ye Zifeng had quite a few enemies.
He really didn't know how Ye Feng managed to survive the hatred of so many people.
"If you don't want to come, then forget about it. Anyways, you won't get a share of the spoils of war. This way, I won't have to worry about you anymore." Xiao Mu had a cold smile on his face.
"Hmph, you actually want to use words to provoke me. I want to see with my own eyes just how arrogant you are to have such confidence."
Thus, Liu Yige was extremely annoyed and decided to follow Ye Zifeng. It doesn't matter if Ye Zifeng comes or not. He wants to use his eyes to see what's going on. When the time comes, he will write it down on a spirit paper and burn it for Ye Zifeng.
The group continued to move forward on the steep and bumpy mountain path. Occasionally, there would be one or two low-level or even mid-level demonic beasts passing by. However, when they saw the ferocious looks of the Xiao Clan members, they were all scared out of their wits and scattered in a hubbub.
"Why aren't we here yet? Did we go the wrong way? "Rong Fan muttered to himself and looked around.
"We should be asking you that. Didn't you tell us that the scouts you sent have already figured out the location of the nest?"
Rong Fan didn't know how to explain, "I … …."
"Could it be that you're playing with me?" Xiao Mu coldly snorted and angrily stared at Rong Fan.
He did not like people like Rong Fan in the first place. Now that he had been walking in this godforsaken place for so long, he still could not find the so-called lair. Naturally, he felt a little depressed.
What's more, the Xiao Clan had been busy the whole day yesterday and didn't even see the shadow of the giant python. Now that they had come out with this idiot surnamed Rong and still couldn't find the nest, their second day would be wasted.
However, even though Rong Fan was an idiot, it didn't mean that he wasn't angry.
"But the person I sent is definitely my trusted aide. He wouldn't lie to me. He really did find the nest. It shouldn't be far from here."
Xiao Mu's voice was as cold as a knife, "If it's not your trusted aide, then you're lying to me."
The two clans haven't even started hunting the fierce beasts yet but the atmosphere was already very tense.
Liu Yige listened for a while and immediately felt something strange in his bosom. He secretly took out one of the spirit papers and casually glanced at it. His face was lifeless and his heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cave.
On the spirit paper was written, "How's the fight between the Xiao clan and the Rong clan going?"
Liu Yige's cheeks drooped down and his mouth opened so wide that it looked like he could swallow an entire fist.
What does this mean? Could it be that the fight between the Xiao clan and the Rong clan was orchestrated by Ye Zifeng? Can he control whether or not the nest is seen?
The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. Wait. Does this mean that he's going to interfere?
"That's good. Take this opportunity to help me vent my anger."
Liu Yige thought about how he was humiliated and didn't hate Ye Zifeng at all. Right now, he wanted Ye Zifeng to come earlier and teach Xiao Mu a lesson.
"But …. How can he know that the two of us are fighting? Could it be that he's already here ….."
Liu Yige raised his head and looked around. He began to search for Ye Zaifeng's figure. He felt that Ye Zaifeng's gaze was already hidden somewhere in the dark and was carefully sizing up the situation over here ….
"Alright, stop quarreling. How are we going to hunt the Direbeasts in this state?"
Xiao Ying was the person with the highest cultivation amongst the two clans. Everyone had to listen to what he said. This was the strength of a big brother.
He paused for a moment, then said with a solemn expression: "If an intelligent Demonic Beast is smart enough, it will have a way to hide its nest. Perhaps this Blazing Eagle has a way to hide its tracks."
He understood that even if he explained it like this, he wouldn't be able to explain how the nest suddenly disappeared. Right now, he could only try to divert everyone's attention.
"Then what should we do … If that Flaming Eagle really has a way to hide its tracks, which one of us will be able to see through it?" Xiao Mu muttered to himself for a moment as he scratched his chin. His expression was a little troubled.
"This …" Everyone looked at each other for a while, obviously agreeing with his point of view.
At the same time, Liu Yige quickly scanned through the contents of the spirit paper. A look of surprise flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.
He hid the spirit paper in his robes and took a deep breath. He cleared his throat and suddenly opened his mouth.
"If none of you have any ideas, why don't I give it a try?"
"With just you?"
The corner of Xiao Mu's mouth curled up into a sneer as he glared at him.
If this was said by Ye Zifeng, who had won the Heavenly Clan Gathering and the Alchemy Competition, then Xiao Mu would have believed him a bit more.
But this Liu Yige in front of him, what kind of small fry was he?
Even Xiao Ying, who was in the 9th stage of qi refining, didn't dare to say that he could solve this problem. But now, Liu Yige was willing to take the initiative.
"Don't say that I don't believe you. Tell me, why should I believe you?" Xiao Mu laughed.
"Of course it's based on facts!" With the hint from Ye Zifeng's spirit paper, Liu Yige felt as if he could straighten his back. It was as if he was a fox borrowing the might of a tiger.
"Facts? How interesting. I want to see what facts you can come up with. "Xiao Mu laughed and looked at Liu Yige with disdain.
"Then listen. From your current position, walk ten steps to the west and seven steps to the north ….."
Xiao Mu laughed, "Okay. I'll do as you say. Walk ten steps to the west and seven steps to the north. Then what? Where should I go?"
"Then walk four or five steps to the west." Liu Yige couldn't remember whether it was four or five steps written on the spirit paper.
His words caused the crowd to burst into laughter.
"Young master Xiao, you're really something. He doesn't even know how many steps he should take and you're still doing as he says."
Xiao Mu sneered, "Some people won't shed tears until they see the coffin. I'll take this opportunity to teach him a lesson."
"Now, look to the right and tell me, what do you see?"
Being laughed at by everyone, Liu Yige felt that he wasn't very reliable. He didn't know if Ye Zifeng's words had any effect.
Xiao Mu chuckled. He raised his head and looked in the direction of his front right ….
