Chapter 860: Chapter 860: Asking Again
After Zhu Fei entered the Galaxy Secret Realm, he immediately followed the map on the jade scroll to a canyon beside a medicinal herb garden.
According to Lin Shuang’s previous account, she saw Pan Tingting and Shen Yuyan near this medicinal herb garden.
Moreover, according to what Lin Shuang said before, Pan Tingting seemed to be having some physical issues at the time, as she could only be carried stealthily by Shen Yuyan.
This immediately caused Zhu Fei to feel an uneasy urgency. Without time to think thoroughly, he decided to investigate the situation here first and see if he could find any specific clues.
However, upon arriving here, Zhu Fei saw nothing besides the empty cliffs of the canyon and some traces left by cultivators’ battles.
These offered no substantial help in finding specific clues about Pan Tingting and Shen Yuyan.
While Zhu Fei anxiously searched the surrounding canyon with his divine sense, he suddenly noticed seven or eight corpses.
Rather than call them corpses, they were more like remains completely eroded by some poison.
Without hesitation, Zhu Fei approached the remains of the seven or eight fully eroded corpses and carefully examined them. His face changed slightly.
"These are... Heavenly Slaughter Poison Liquid!"
Zhu Fei exclaimed in shock, as he realized that these corroded corpses had been attacked by the Heavenly Slaughter Poison Liquid and turned into what he was seeing now.
As far as Zhu Fei knew, in today’s cultivation world, the only ones capable of using such a top-tier innate poison were those with the Heavenly Slaughter Poison Body.
This meant that these seven or eight people likely died at the hands of Pan Tingting.
Thinking of Pan Tingting, Zhu Fei furrowed his brows deeply once again.
According to Lin Shuang, Pan Tingting seemed to be in trouble, so much so that she could barely walk and needed Shen Yuyan’s help.
But looking at the current situation, what on earth was going on?
Or could it be that Pan Tingting killed these seven or eight people by overexerting her own potential?
Zhu Fei wasn’t sure, but his concern for the two women was inevitably growing stronger.
Not wanting to linger, Zhu Fei set his sights in a certain direction and quickly disappeared from the scene.
Zhu Fei had noticed signs of vegetation wilting along his path for no apparent reason.
Although these signs were subtle and seemed to have been skillfully concealed, they were completely visible to Zhu Fei.
Zhu Fei suspected that the reason for the random wilting of these plants was most likely related to Pan Tingting.
So, he thought if he continued to follow these traces, he should be able to find the two women’s general whereabouts.
After searching ahead for about an hour, Zhu Fei suddenly detected intense mana fluctuations.
Zhu Fei looked ahead and saw three cultivators being hunted by a Level 6 flying monster.
The three cultivators included two men and one woman. One of the short-haired men was severely injured and was unable to resist the attacks of the Level 6 flying monster, relying entirely on his companions for protection.
"Senior Brother Yan, Junior Sister Yuan, you should leave me and go quickly!"
At this moment, the short-haired man suddenly broke free from his companions’ protection and rushed towards the Level 6 flying monster, shouting at his companions.
"No! Junior Brother Feng, come back!"
Seeing Junior Brother Feng’s action, Senior Brother Yan and Junior Sister Yuan were immediately grief-stricken, wanting desperately to save Junior Brother Feng.
However, Junior Brother Feng seemed determined to die; he had almost burned all his blood essence, gaining immense speed, leaving his companions unable to keep up as they watched him charge towards his doom.
"Swish—"
At that moment, a pale blue sword light shot from afar.
Before Junior Brother Feng could reach the Level 6 flying monster, the sword light pierced through the monster’s back and exited through its forehead, killing it instantly!
The sudden turn of events left Junior Brother Feng and his companions temporarily dumbfounded.
Then they turned to see a young man in pale blue attire with a tall figure standing before them.
Senior Brother Yan reacted the fastest. Before Junior Brother Feng and Junior Sister Yuan could recover from their shock, he stepped forward and gratefully cupped his fists towards the blue-clad young man, saying:
"Thank you, friend, for saving my junior brother’s life. I am Yan Bohai and am deeply grateful. Please accept my respects."
With that, Yan Bohai did not hesitate and deeply bowed to the blue-clothed young man.
The young man in blue who appeared, of course, was Zhu Fei.
Gazing at Yan Bohai and the others, his eyes finally rested on Junior Brother Feng. He slightly furrowed his brows and casually threw a fragrant pill at Junior Brother Feng, saying indifferently:
"No need for thanks, but this junior brother of yours needs immediate treatment. Consider this healing pill a meeting gift."
Without waiting for Yan Bohai and the others’ stunned reactions, Zhu Fei raised his hand and drew two humanoid silhouettes in front of them, asking:
"Have you seen these two people before?"
Staring at the humanoid silhouettes, Yan Bohai hesitated for a moment before awkwardly replying:
"I’m sorry, friend. I haven’t seen these two people before."
Upon hearing Yan Bohai’s reply, Zhu Fei’s face showed disappointment.
As he was about to leave, Junior Brother Feng, whom he had just saved, suddenly spoke:
"Friend, I vaguely recall seeing these two people before... Cough, cough, cough..."
Before Junior Brother Feng could finish, his injuries suddenly flared up, causing him to cough violently.
Zhu Fei instantly moved to Junior Brother Feng’s side, pulled out another pill, and shot it into his mouth before urgently asking:
"Quickly, what impression do you have of them? Do you know where they are now?"
Being suddenly given a pill by Zhu Fei, Junior Brother Feng initially thought Zhu Fei was up to something, but he quickly realized the effects.
He instantly felt his grave injuries healing at a miraculous speed thanks to Zhu Fei’s pill.
In a short time, his wounds had mostly healed.
In that moment, Junior Brother Feng was filled with gratitude and awe for Zhu Fei.
Without any hesitation, he told Zhu Fei: "I don’t know their exact current whereabouts, but before I joined Senior Brother Yan and the others, I accidentally saw them on the Starlight Plain."
