NOVEL WEB Chapter 780 Nine-layered Banner!
"..."
Qin Feng and the others were shocked after hearing this.
So to speak,
she was imprisoned by Ghost Medicine Granny for over a decade and tortured for that long!
And Ghost Medicine Granny used the "Heavenly Demon Deceit Needle"!
How strong must her will be?
Incredible!
At this moment,
Li Tianzi, Xiao Wu's mother, looked at Qin Feng and said, "Do you know why I'm telling you this?"
"Uh..."
Qin Feng was also surprised.
She possesses the "Key" that so many people are searching for, why would she tell him?
Isn't she afraid he might steal it?
"After more than a decade, it's time for me to go back," Li Tianzi continued. "Only if I leave will the people above stop looking for me and not harm Xiao Wu and Qingcheng, but I can't take the 'Key' back. It would cause a world-wide chaos, so, I want to entrust it to you!"
"Me?!!"
Qin Feng was very perplexed, "But, we have just met!"
"I am not mistaken about people; you are reliable!" Li Tianzi gazed at him earnestly, "Also, with your relationship with Xiao Wu, I feel reassured about you!"
"..."
Qin Feng was embarrassed.
"The 'Key' is located underground of the Qinling Divine Tree, together with the Divine Tree's Eye." Li Tianzi continued, "Ghost Medicine Granny has been searching for it for over a decade. She knew it was in this generation, almost dug through the whole mountain but couldn't find it. Now, I am entrusting this task to you!"
"Alright! I will find it."
Qin Feng sighed.
He has not yet claimed kingship in the Lower Realm; he really doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Upper Realm.
No choice.
She just handed over these responsibilities to him so suddenly and as she is Xiao Wu's mother, he couldn't neglect it.
"To find the Divine Tree's Eye is actually very simple, just keep digging down along the trunk of the Divine Tree, but do not touch the 'Divine Tree's Eye'; otherwise, the Divine Tree will die, and this place will collapse." Li Tianzi admonished again.
Qin Feng nodded, indicating his understanding.
Next,
Li Tianzi, with difficulty, approached Xiao Wu, couldn't resist kissing her forehead, tears fell, and said, "My dear daughter, I am truly sorry for not being there for you all these years. Now I have to return, once I settle things there, I will come back and we will reunite, and then I will make up for the love I owe you..."
Wiping her tears.
Li Tianzi said to Qin Feng, "Now, take me to the Divine Tree! I must leave."
"So soon? Don't wait for Xiao Wu to wake up?"
Qin Feng was surprised.
Li Tianzi's tears flowed again.
She also wanted to wait for Xiao Wu to wake up, to meet each other as mother and daughter.
But.
She was afraid Xiao Wu would cry upon waking, and feared she wouldn't have the courage to say goodbye.
"No, once I handle things, I will come back! We will definitely meet again, for their sake, I will stay alive..."
Li Tianzi spoke.
Qin Feng deeply admired her.
She had been tormented for over a decade, yet her will was not eroded; she definitely could do it!
For a moment.
Qin Feng asked Qingcheng to stay behind to take care of Xiao Wu, then he led Li Tianzi to a large, stout trunk in the square, puzzled, "From here, we can go to the Upper Realm?"
"When I came from the Upper Realm, I ended up right at the Divine Tree which possesses mysterious powers. At the time, I had the 'Nine-layered Banner' with me, placed here, the 'Nine-layered Banner' can take me and Little Gold back."
As she spoke, she glanced at Little Gold again, saying, "It came here with me, and the 'Nine-layered Banner' also contains its genetic material. If it hadn't been secretly providing me with wild fruits to eat all these years, I might have died long ago."
"Nine-layered Banner?"
Qin Feng was extremely surprised.
He had heard from Shifang Taoist that there is a type of small flag that can serve as a spatial coordinate, two flags as one set.
One in Antarctica, one at the North Pole.
They can instantly teleport each other!
Of course.
The position of the Nine-layered Banner also needs the support of Spiritual Energy and other forces.
Like over here.
With a massive Divine Tree present, the teleportation ability of the Nine-layered Banner can be sustained.
Qin Feng thought that Shifang Taoist was just blabbering drunk, but he didn't expect that such a thing really existed in the world!
Then.
Li Tianzi and Little Gold began to dig in the soil at the base of the tree trunk.
Less than half a meter deep, they dug out a small red flag.
"I'm leaving, Xiao Wu, and that 'Key' is now entrusted to you!" Li Tianzi said, holding the red Nine-layered Banner once more to bid farewell.
"Rest assured!"
Qin Feng solemnly nodded.
Only then did Li Tianzi feel relieved, and she dropped a drop of fresh blood on the Nine-layered Banner and controlled it with her thoughts!
In an instant.
The runes on the red Nine-layered Banner emitted dazzling golden light!
Next.
The golden light flashed, and Qin Feng subconsciously covered his eyes.
When the golden light finally vanished, Li Tianzi and Little Gold had disappeared.
...
It was an endless ruin.
Around.
There were boundless corpses, long spears, abandoned swords, and blood-stained helmets as far as the eye could see...
"It's been over a dozen years, and it is still like this, or even worse..."
Li Tianzi looked at the endless corpses around her, her eyes filled with sorrow.
At this moment.
The Little Gold perched on her shoulder suddenly spoke: "Master, that 'Key' has caused such a massive war, can you really trust the people of the Lower Realm with it?"
"Now, we can only rely on him," Li Tianzi said, "Guarding the 'Key' is not our aim, but to use it correctly. We cannot, but perhaps he can, because I sense that his lineage is…"
...
Beside the Divine Tree.
Only Qin Feng was left.
Qin Feng squatted beside the trunk, muttering skeptically: "'The Key' is just beneath us? Sounds a bit unreliable?"
He decided to return first, wanting to ask One-eyed Bald and the others to dig.
Back to the laboratory.
By this time Xiao Wu had already woken up, crying her eyes out.
As soon as she saw Qin Feng, she burst into a flood of tears and yelled at Qin Feng: "You disgusting hooligan, beast, shameless, pale-faced..."
...
Qin Feng broke into a cold sweat, realizing Xiao Wu already knew about their intimate encounter.
"Stop fussing, I did it to save you, besides, it was your mother's arrangement." He spread his hands, "If you don't believe me, ask Qingcheng."
"Hooligan! Hooligan!! Disgusting hooligan!!!"
Xiao Wu continued to yell.
...
Qin Feng knew, at times like this, women don't listen to reason; he just sat down for the time being.
But Qingcheng got up, signaling with her eyes for him to leave.
The room was left with only Xiao Wu.
Outside the door, Qingcheng said to Qin Feng: "Don't worry, she's fine. Actually, she's crying not because of you. It's because she heard her mother passed away. Despite her verbal disdain for your relationship, I could tell that deep down, she was actually happy."
...
Qin Feng sighed, saying, "Well then, we should pack up and leave."
"What stuff are we packing up?"
Qingcheng asked.
"Of course, the good stuff."
Qin Feng's lips curled into a smile as he walked toward the laboratory they were in just now...
