Chapter 847: Chapter 291: Luring Silkworms [2-in-1]_3 Chapter 847: Chapter 291: Luring Silkworms [2-in-1]_3 Feng Yin said, “It’s just that I purely feel it isn’t so. We know the state of the Illusory Silkworm very clearly; it clearly does not wish for anyone to be aware of its existence, and its spiritual force is incredibly pure. Such devious tricks… are most likely not the work of the Illusory Silkworm.”

“If it’s not one thing, it’s the other; the person behind this must have taken a fancy to something of ours and acted on impulse.”

Feng Yin analyzed, “Another key point is, if the puppet master behind all this were the Illusory Silkworm, their information wouldn’t be incorrect. Elder Peng’s presence is a critical factor that could influence the outcome of this fight, and it’s obvious that these people have made an error regarding this. There’s no doubt about that.”

Peng Wanli nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, “Right, if we reason this way, this matter most likely has nothing to do with the Illusory Silkworm. These people know of my existence but not my true identity nor the level of my cultivation; they only know that I have internal injuries, and therefore my combat ability is not at its fullest. However, they don’t know the more crucial details—which the Illusory Silkworm does, and very clearly so.”

“Yes.”

“Also, there’s another point worth paying attention to… they recognize the Cat Emperor but are completely clueless about the surnames or names of us three. They even overlook Feng Ying and Ice Phoenix… In other words, they do not know of Feng Ying and Ice Phoenix’s existence. Otherwise, that last person wouldn’t have been taken down by such a tragic sneak attack.”

“Yes, throughout the entire event, they’ve been like: this lad, that boy! This girl… It’s obvious that they have no idea about our identities.”

“If any of them knew of the identity of Dong Xiaoyan, then the person they should be targeting would be her. With her in their grasp, anything could be up for negotiation!”

“So, this whole affair is brimming with strangeness. Where exactly did this bunch come from? What is their actual purpose? A whole twelve experts from Cloud Top, and even the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace or the Absolute Sword Devil Palace, could they casually assemble such a formation?”

The four of them broke their heads thinking but couldn’t come up with an answer.

It made sense that Feng Yin and Dong Xiaoyan couldn’t figure it out.

But even with two old foxes, long-seasoned in the ways of the world, also at a loss, this matter truly became curious!

“However, this affair is likely far from over. Even if those golden-faced people don’t come, their mastermind behind the scenes will definitely make another move!”

Feng Yin sighed and glanced at Peng Wanli, “When we separate later… if only the Cat Emperor is left to hold the fort, I’m afraid…”

The implication of his words was very clear.

The Cat Emperor rolled his eyes, speechless at this youngster’s overly careful thoughts.

This guy was actually considering having Peng Wanli provide protection along the way…

Peng Wanli pretended not to understand Feng Yin’s intentions and said, “Regrettably, I have important affairs to attend to and must go separate ways down the mountain. Let’s meet again in Yuezhou later.”

Feng Yin was immediately dumbstruck at this declaration.

This… Why aren’t things going according to the script?

I’m your lifesaver! You’re going to need me to supply the spiritual elixirs for your healing!

Now, while I’m in unknown danger, you say you’re leaving just like that, absolving yourself of involvement, what is this?!

The Cat Emperor watched Feng Yin’s bewildered expression, barely holding back a laugh, and leisurely said, “Elder Peng should attend to his business. With me here, I’d like to see how bold these people really are!”

“Exactly, Your Majesty is the foremost in wisdom among our demon kind. Even if your power is not the strongest, you can compensate with your wisdom.”

Peng Wanli nodded and smiled, then took another glance at Feng Yin.

Despite themselves, these two powerhouses couldn’t help but feel a secret thrill at the boy being kept in the dark.

One must admit, the expression on the boy’s face when he’s out of his depth is truly priceless.

And such opportunities are destined to be rare; with one right before their eyes, how could they not savor it for a moment longer?

The wind rustled, and the group soon reached the foot of the mountain. After crossing several hills, Peng Wanli bade farewell, and in a blink, he was gone from sight.

“Truly… Your Majesty should have kept Elder Peng,” Feng Yin sighed.

No sooner had he spoken than Feng Ying and Ice Phoenix, who had just recovered a bit of their vitality, nodded in agreement.

Despite their not insignificant injuries this time, with Feng Yin present, even severe wounds were of no concern and were easily addressed. Furthermore, this provided an opportunity to increase their foundations even further, recovering most of their strength and enriching their base.

The Cat Emperor rolled his eyes, expressing his annoyance, “Let’s get moving!”

Dong Xiaoyan dared not utter a word, obediently following behind Feng Yin and asked, “Feng Yin, how are your injuries?”

Feng Yin’s eyes twinkled, and he immediately clutched his chest, his face full of pain, “My vitality has been greatly damaged; I need someone to carry me. I was just toughing it out earlier…”

“Cut it out!”

Dong Xiaoyan turned her head and marched off.

Did you really think I’d keep falling for the same trick?!

Feng Yin could only grimace and walk on his own, moaning and groaning.

What kind of world is this.

Even the simple ones are so hard to fool now…

Life truly has become unbearable.

Fortunately, the return trip was peaceful. Feng Yin and the others were worried for nothing as there were no setbacks, and soon, they were about to enter Yuezhou’s territory.

Upon returning, Feng Yin’s first stop was naturally at the little pine tree, where he tapped three times in rapid succession.

Such an honor almost made the little pine tree faint from sheer joy.

After that, Feng Yin tapped each of the ancient trees they passed without missing a single one.

To onlookers, it seemed that whenever Feng Yin saw a big tree, he would just walk up to it and feel around for a moment.

The ancient trees too had grown accustomed to prospering in silence, never exhibiting anything out of the ordinary for the duration.

But beneath the ground of the entire Yuezhou area, there was an unprecedented turbulence, with jubilant exclamations everywhere.
