Chapter 576: Chapter 577: The unexpected move_1

"Children are so naive; they fall for tricks so easily,"

Seeing Feng Yuan and Liu Wenli return, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but complain. Feng Yuan glanced at the man and asked,

"What trick?"

"A feint within a feint. You’re really bold to leave the weak to stay behind. It’s really..."

"Weak?!"

Feng Yuan swept a glance at Yao Yin and the White Wolf Deity, speechless. If they were considered weak, then Nanyu probably had very few strong people.

"What exactly happened just now? Why did those mountain bandits suddenly retreat?"

Yao Yin inquired with confusion towards Feng Yuan, while the shadowy figure of Agunas flicked its tail with a strange expression and said,

"They somehow offended Nagna, who directly used its dark power."

"Nagna is nearby?"

Guo Huai was somewhat surprised, but Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"No, Nagna is far away. It seems to be very angry, though, so the commotion was big enough for us to sense it here."

"I remember Nagna’s power is Life Force, right?"

Glancing at Hua Yiyou, Feng Yuan replied annoyedly,

"To grant and to take away are two sides of the same coin; it’s impossible to only control one aspect."

"This..."

Thinking of Nagna directly stripping away the life of living beings, Hua Yiyou felt a chill run down his spine. Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"Under normal circumstances, Nagna would not use the power of darkness to strip life, but I don’t know what they did to make it so angry."

"Speaking of which, weren’t those mountain bandits a bit strange?"

Liu Wenli stared at Feng Yuan and said evenly. Seeing everyone looking at her, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,

"Are you talking about how some of the bandits suddenly disappeared after Nagna took action?"

"Exactly, that’s not normal."

"Clone Miraculous Objects, that’s roughly what it’s like."

"Clone Miraculous Objects, huh..."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, Liu Wenli did not doubt it. After all, she had seen similar things before. If a major power like Great Li or Great Yan took action, using such objects wouldn’t be strange. But what exactly was Nagna, capable of directly breaking the protection over clone miraculous objects? She was very curious.

"To deal with Nanyu, they actually took out such an object..."

Mo Li spoke, somewhat in disbelief. Of course, he was aware of such objects; he had encountered similar miraculous items within the Royal Court of Great Li. Feng Yuan glanced at Liu Wenli and said,

"What’s so strange about that? Since they are determined to take Nanyu, using that kind of object isn’t surprising. But to counter a Legendary Level projection... that’s still a bit troublesome."

Feng Yuan said helplessly. Although those mountain bandits were not Legendary Level, the fact that they could openly withstand a Legendary Level, or even counterkill, by ganging up was true. Only those with a Domain at the Legendary Level could possibly handle them. He also did not believe that Nagna would intervene in Nanyu’s affairs.

If they had not recklessly provoked Nagna, who had virtually no offensive capability on normal days, it would not bother with them. Just as everyone was talking and preparing to cook dinner, a terrifying force swept across the land, and the thought of utter annihilation within that power caused Mo Li and the others to feel an unstoppable spread of panic within their hearts.

Feng Yuan said speechlessly,

"What on Earth did they do? If they’ve really angered Nagna, then we’re in for some big trouble."

"Is that... Nagna’s power?"

Looking at the somewhat wilted plants around, Guo Huai swallowed hard. He had not expected Nagna’s rage to be so frightening. Feng Yuan waved his hand, and a refreshing breeze passed over the land, rejuvenating the wilted plants. The shadowy figure of Agunas flicked its tail and said,

"Do you want to take a look?"

"No way! It’s almost dark, and besides, I couldn’t care less about such matters. They went and provoked Nagna for no reason; I can’t fathom who gave them the confidence."

"Aren’t you afraid something irreversible will happen?"

"No fear, I trust Nagna."

Feng Yuan played with the cooking utensils as he spoke. At this time, the militia passed by Feng Yuan and the others. Seeing that they seemed to be preparing food, they thought about it but did not approach to disturb them.

"Sorry, gathering supplies took a bit longer than expected,"

Hua Yiyou said, constantly apologizing as he and the guards returned to the group. Mo Li smiled and said,

"It’s fine, it seems this village..."

"Is okay. Although some things are lacking, there’s enough to last a while. We’ll resupply in the county town when we pass by it,"

Hua Yiyou said with a slight smile. Looking at the middle-aged man lying under the tree, Hua Yiyou asked with some confusion,

"What’s with him?"

Turning his head to look at Hua Yiyou, the middle-aged man said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile,

"Yo, can’t even spare a meal?"

Feng Yuan glanced at the middle-aged man and said irritably.

"I never said that. By the way, do you have nothing else to do? It seems like you’re not really chasing those mountain bandits."

"What do I have to do with mountain bandits?"

"With that time, it’s better to enjoy life."

Liu Wenli glanced at the middle-aged man and quietly watched Mo Ling and Guo Huai argue with him. After a moment, she turned to Feng Yuan and said,

"Aren’t you going to say anything?"

"What’s there to say? What he does is his choice, and I’m not close enough with him to dictate his actions, am I?"

Feng Yuan replied nonchalantly without looking back, and Liu Wenli revealed a triumphant smile, saying,

"In that case, you can’t drive me away either."

"Hey, hey, hey, why insist on sticking around here? I’ve already said it’s not possible. The future you saw must be false, why be so persistent?"

"I trust my own judgment."

Liu Wenli said with a smile. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"You really are confident."

"Yo, that’s impressive!"

Looking at the wooden cabin camp, the middle-aged man exclaimed. Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

"Do you want me to teach you?"

"Forget it, I can sense that special power, that vast life force. It’s probably not something an ordinary Divine Lord would have, right?"

The middle-aged man smiled without taking the bait, and Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said,

"Isn’t that just directly harnessing Nagna’s power? What’s there to learn?"

"Tsk tsk tsk—you don’t understand. Nagna’s power isn’t just something you can harness willy-nilly. If you don’t believe me, you can try it yourself."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan took out a long staff and tossed it to Guo Huai. The phantom of Agunas said with a silent wag of its tail,

"Aren’t you afraid something will go wrong with you doing this?"

"It’s fine, Nagna’s power almost never causes any destruction. He just shouldn’t throw it toward the village."

Looking at the village in the night, Feng Yuan said with a hint of amusement. During dinner, the villagers had kept bringing dishes they cooked themselves as a way of saying thank you. Great Li, resting against the railings, sighed and said,

"Why do they bother? They know I won’t harm them without reason..."

"Logically speaking, their actions are quite improper, but what about emotionally?"

Feng Yuan said with a smile. He looked up at the starry sky while the middle-aged man, holding a jug, poured himself another drink and muttered under his breath,

"Emotionally, huh... what’s that to me."

"Impressive indeed..."

"What’s so impressive?"

Feng Yuan looked puzzled at Guo Huai, who pointed at the middle-aged man and Hua Yiyou passed out on the table and said,

"You actually managed to knock them all out without batting an eye."

Feng Yuan glanced at the white monkey and said,

"You take him to his room to rest. Of course, if you’re worried we’ll harm him, you can take him away."

After finishing his words, Feng Yuan slowly savored his tea, and Liu Wenli asked curiously,

"Your tolerance for alcohol is so good, why don’t I see you drinking normally?"

"There’s no need, no interest."

Liu Wenli looked at Feng Yuan curiously. Mo Li, who had been rejected by Feng Yuan from participating in the drinking contest due to being too young, looked at Hua Yiyou lying on the floor and said helplessly,

"Isn’t that a bit too harsh?"

Glancing at Mo Li, Feng Yuan said calmly,

"Otherwise, when would he be cautious? That’s not something good for you all."

"To say that is a bit..."

Mo Li sighed and called two guards to help Hua Yiyou to his room. Feng Yuan looked at Liu Wenli and said,

"You see, even without me, Nanyu wouldn’t necessarily be in trouble, right?"

Glaring at Feng Yuan, Liu Wenli didn’t say much but pushed open the door and stepped out onto the platform to cool off in the cold wind.
