1839 Help (3)
Yun Feng understood the matter after hearing this. If they couldn’t hand it over, everyone in the village would die. The higher-ups really didn’t care about the lives of these people.
“All the young people in the village were sent out to search, but they were either dead or injured!” When the village leader said this, his eyes turned red again. The others also lowered their faces and more or less didn’t feel good in their minds.
“Why didn’t they come and find it themselves?” Yun Qingchen couldn’t help but feel angry. Was there such a shameless leader?
“How can the higher-ups do it themselves? They’re forcing the lower-downs!” The village leader looked like he was in pain. Yun Feng frowned. “How can such a leader exist? The passages in all the areas have already been opened right now. Nothing seems to have changed in the Outland?”
“Master, you don’t know that the opening of the spatial channel has nothing to do with this place at all! Even if it does, it’s only at the arena. The other places in the Outland haven’t changed at all. Who would come to a place like the Outland often? Even those merchants who are greedy for benefits don’t want to stay in the Outland for long!”
“Gradually, it became an uncontrolled area.” Yun Qingchen mumbled. Yun Feng also understood a bit in her mind. If it weren’t for her goal, she wouldn’t have stayed in this area for so long, let alone the other powerhouses. No powerhouses visited and there weren’t any large forces paying attention. The Outland was like an uncontrolled area. Some small forces rose one after another and became an overlord here.
“There weren’t any so-called leaders in the Outland originally, but ever since the spatial channel was opened, some small forces suddenly appeared. Even though they’re not strong, they’re not weak either. People like us who live here must listen to them, or we won’t be able to live!”
“They’re simply evil! They naturally treat this place as their territory. They’re truly shameless!”
“That’s right! Due to the remote location, if it weren’t for this inexplicable plant, our village wouldn’t have been harmed by these people at all.”
“So, the residents elsewhere in the Outland are all tortured by them?” Yun Feng frowned. The village leader sighed and nodded solemnly. “That’s true, but there’s nothing we can do. All the powerful people in the Outland want to go to the Central Region or somewhere else. They don’t want to stay here at all. These people aren’t restricted at all, so they’re getting more and more arrogant. It seems that it’s a blessing to be in such a remote place right now.”
Yun Feng and Yun Qingchen’s faces both darkened. The situation in the Outland was so chaotic? This was simply worlds apart from the administration of the Central Region, the Inner Area and even other continents! Here, nobody would probably care about anything they did. Those small forces were like the sky here!
“It’s fine as long as we find that plant?” Yun Feng raised her brows. The village leader was stunned. His lips trembled slightly and he knelt on the ground again. “Madam powerhouse! Please kick these bullies out! It’ll be peaceful in the Outland!”
Yun Qingchen was stunned. Chase them all out? This request was too… too unreasonable!
Yun Feng frowned. “The Outland is so vast. There are a lot of small forces scattered here. I’m afraid there are already more than a hundred of them! I don’t have time to kick them out one by one.”
“Master, you’ve misunderstood. Even though there are a lot of small forces scattered, these small forces are all under one force! It can be said that the entire Outland is ruled by one force. As long as you eliminate this force, the other small forces will certainly collapse.”
Yun Feng raised her brows and didn’t say anything. She thought it was a small matter at first, but she didn’t expect that she would have to eliminate a force.
“Master, I know I’m thick-skinned and selfish to ask for this! However, there’s nothing I can do. If you don’t eliminate them, even if you help us this time, there’ll be a next time! We’ll still die!”
Yun Feng pursed her lips. This was quite different from what she expected back then. If they really attacked, it would probably take a lot of her time.
“Master, I’ll do anything for you! Please, no powerhouses have visited the Outland at all. I can’t wait for you to come. Please!” The village leader kowtowed fiercely again. The others also kowtowed with him. Seeing this lineup, Yun Qingchen immediately said, “Don’t kowtow. My aunt has something to do. Time is tight… We thought we only needed to help you with a small matter, but we have something important to do. We can’t waste time.”
“Master, it won’t take up too much of your time! Please, please!” The village leader’s eyes were red. It wasn’t easy for him to find such a powerhouse. If she wasn’t willing to help, what should he do?
“If you don’t do anything, the people of the Outland will all die!” The village leader shouted. Yun Feng’s face darkened. Yun Qingchen sighed. “I say, you’re… Ah!”
“That’s enough. Get up,” said Yun Feng. She wasn’t a cold-blooded and heartless machine, nor was she a heartless person who would leave someone in the lurch.
“Sure! Sure!” The village leader quickly nodded. Yun Feng’s black eyes darkened slightly. “If you can’t get the things I asked for in three days, I won’t help.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” The village leader replied quickly with surprise in his black eyes!
Yun Feng pondered. She could still wait for three days. Once she got the things she wanted, she would destroy this force in one day! It had only been less than five days. Three months was a long time away. Perhaps she could get something useful from the core members of this force.
“If you’ve agreed, go do it quickly.” Yun Feng glanced at the village leader, who was still kneeling on the ground, with her black eyes and said with a slightly cold tone. The village leader quickly stood up after hearing that. He was about to turn around and rush back to the village, when he turned around worriedly. “Madam powerhouse, you…”
“My aunt agreed. She definitely won’t go back on her words,” said Yun Qingchen firmly. The village leader smiled in embarrassment. “Yes, yes. I’ll go back right now, right now!”
The village leader and a dozen people ran out in a hurry. Yun Qingchen looked at the backs of these people and couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly. “Aunt, these people are truly pitiful.”
Yun Feng, however, pursed her lips and said earnestly, “There are too many pitiful people in this world. We can’t help them all.”
“If that’s the case, why did you agree?”
Yun Feng chuckled and looked at Yun Qingchen’s still young face with her black eyes. “Even though we can’t help all the poor people in this world, if we meet them and you’re still unwilling to help, it’s all up to your heart.”
“Heart?” Yun Qingchen mumbled. Yun Feng took a deep breath. “Every life is the same. Why is their fate so different? Some are happy, some are down, some are rich, and some are poor?”
Yun Qingchen frowned and tried his best to understand the deeper meaning in Yun Feng’s words. “You’ve been given a different fate. The responsibilities and roles you’ve been given are also different. Happiness is so that you have a good mind and can experience the pain of others. Tell these painful people that happiness is so wonderful. Getting you down isn’t giving you the right to fall, but letting you learn to be strong. Wealth isn’t for you to indulge in the fun, but to learn to love. And poverty isn’t for you to feel pain, but for you to learn how to establish your own fate.”
“Aunt…” Yun Qingchen frowned. It was obvious that he didn’t quite understand what Yun Feng meant. Yun Feng chuckled softly. “Qingchen, you must remember one thing. Just because you’re born with something doesn’t mean you’re destined for something. Just like me and you. Even though we’re members of the Yun family and have the bloodline of summoners in us, we’re not superior existences. You and I were once ordinary people. We both had times when we needed help.”
“Is that why you’re willing to help these ordinary people?”
Yun Feng chuckled again. “In this world, help is often not simple. It is often for a certain purpose. I’m no exception.”
Yun Qingchen shook his head. “Although my aunt has a purpose, that’s definitely not her intention.”
Yun Feng smiled. “Alright, let’s not talk about that. Do you have any thoughts about the herbs these people mentioned just then?”
Yun Qingchen burst into laughter. “It seems that my aunt and I are thinking the same thing! Those herbs can increase the strength of cultivators. Compared to this herb, it’s not simple. Even though what you’re looking for this time is not this herb, we have to explore the Outland.”
Yun Feng looked at Yun Qingchen in admiration. This kid was indeed meticulous and thoughtful. “That’s right. Master once said that the Anhua Grass Spirit has a lot of strange uses when it absorbs Moxi’s energy. Increasing strength is also one of them.”
“So, the herb they’re talking about might be the Anhua Grass Spirit we’re looking for!”
“That’s just my guess. Moxi must be next to the Anhua Grass Spirit. The Magic Beast is so powerful that ordinary people will die before they can get close. We have to confirm if this herb is the Anhua Grass Spirit.” Feng Qingxuan had told Yun Feng how the Anhua Grass Spirit looked like in detail. Yun Feng had a rough idea in her mind.
“Three days. Aunt, are you going to investigate?”
Yun Feng nodded. “We indeed have to investigate. If it’s really the Anhua Grass Spirit, there’s a high chance that we’ll encounter Moxi.”
Yun Qingchen frowned. “If we encounter Moxi, are you planning to attack just like that?”
Yun Feng shook her head. “Before we do anything, we must deal with some unclean things to ensure our safety.”
“Aunt, do you mean the leader of the forces in the Outland?” Yun Qingchen frowned. Logically speaking, those people shouldn’t have affected his aunt’s movements.
Yun Feng curled her lips. “Even though they don’t come to find that herb in person, it doesn’t mean that they don’t care. Whether or not this village hands it over, that group of forces will send someone here to attack. If these people interfere, even though they’re just little insects, we shouldn’t let these little insects ruin things.”
“Got it. We can’t be negligent at all. If we don’t succeed in getting the Head of Magic Breath and the Anhua Grass Spirit, we’ll suffer a huge loss.”
Yun Feng patted Yun Qingchen’s shoulder. “That’s right. Don’t lose the big picture because of a small matter. It’s worth it to waste some time.”
Yun Feng and Yun Qingchen immediately walked towards the village. Yun Feng planned to find out if that grass was the Anhua Grass Spirit herself. If it was really the Anhua Grass Spirit, her trip this time would be worth it.
