Legacy: Miracle

Chapter 218 Cooperation and Suspicion

In the valley, the expedition team faced off against the mysterious immortal cultivator Feng Wuhen, the atmosphere tense and subtle. The seal's attacks were sometimes fierce, sometimes gentle, as if it were also spying on this game between humans.

"Yun Yi, are you really going to believe this immortal cultivator who suddenly appeared?" Kevin asked in a low voice, his eyes flashing with anxiety and vigilance, and he held the sword tightly in his hand, as if ready to deal with any possible crisis at any time.

Yun Yi frowned, his gaze piercing as he gazed at Feng Wuhen, who was struggling with the seal. "I don't know either, but his appearance does bring us hope. His understanding of the seal might help us find a breakthrough," he said in a deep voice, a hint of helplessness and anticipation in his tone.

Arya stood aside, her eyes lingering between Feng Wuhen and Yun Yi, as if searching for some kind of answer. "I think we can try to trust him, but we can't completely let our guard down. After all, we know nothing about him except what he's said," she said softly, her voice gentle but firm.

At this moment, the seal suddenly launched a fierce attack, and a huge energy wave surged in like a tide. Feng Wuhen dodged the attack easily, but he seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally guiding the direction of the attack, causing one member of the expedition team to be almost affected.

"Be careful!" Yun Yi shouted, leaping up and pulling the team member to safety. He glared at Feng Wuhen fiercely, his tone full of questioning: "Feng Wuhen, what did you do just now? You almost killed one of our team members!"

Feng Wuhen was slightly taken aback, then smiled apologetically. "Sorry, Brother Yun Yi, I was distracted and didn't notice the direction of the attack. Please forgive my negligence." He said, his tone apologetic, but there was a subtle glint of something strange in his eyes.

This scene instantly reduced the expedition team members' trust in Feng Wuhen. They began to whisper and discuss, their suspicions about this mysterious cultivator growing deeper.

"I don't think he's a good person at all. He might have other motives."

"Yeah, his behavior just now was very suspicious. Maybe he wanted to hurt us on purpose."

"We can't trust him easily, otherwise we might fall into greater danger."

Facing the team members' questions and suspicions, Feng Wuhen remained remarkably calm. He smiled faintly and slowly walked towards the expedition team, his gaze revealing a frankness and determination. "I know my actions have caused you to doubt me, but please believe me, I mean no harm. I'm here because of this seal, but my purpose isn't to harm you. I'm here to find a treasure related to it."

His words startled the expedition members, who then fell into deep thought. Yun Yi stared intently at Feng Wuhen, trying to discern the truth in his eyes. "Treasure? What treasure? Why do you think we can help you find it?" he asked in a deep voice, his tone filled with scrutiny.

Feng Wuhen took a deep breath, as if making up his mind. "This treasure, a secret heirloom passed down through my family for generations, is sealed here. After countless hardships, I finally found it, but I discovered I can't break the seal on my own. You, the expedition team, are numerous, each with your own strengths. Perhaps you can help me fulfill this wish," he said, his eyes gleaming with anticipation and pleading.

Arya asked softly, "Then why didn't you state your purpose from the beginning? Why did you choose to hide it?" Her eyes revealed a hint of confusion, but also a hint of understanding.

Feng Wuhen gave a bitter laugh and shook his head. "At first, I wasn't sure if you were trustworthy. After all, this treasure is extremely important to me, and I can't easily reveal it to outsiders. But after observing you for a while, I've found you to be a trustworthy group, so I decided to confess to you," he said, his tone full of sincerity.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and the expedition members were weighing the pros and cons in their minds. They understood that cooperating with Feng Wuhen might bring unexpected gains, but it might also hide unknown risks.

"Okay, Feng Wuhen." Yun Yi finally spoke to break the silence, "We are willing to trust you temporarily, but you must guarantee that your behavior will not endanger our safety and the interests of the team. Otherwise, we will never tolerate evil." His eyes were like torches, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Feng Wuhen smiled faintly and nodded. "Brother Yunyi, rest assured. I, Feng Wuhen, act with integrity and will never do anything that harms the interests of the team. Now, let us work together to uncover the mystery of this seal and find the treasure that belongs to me!" He said, his tone filled with determination and anticipation.

Despite Feng Wuhen's assurances, the expedition members' doubts remained. They understood that the road ahead was long, and that their collaboration with Feng Wuhen would be filled with unknowns and challenges. But they also understood that only by uniting as one and proceeding cautiously could they find their own way out of this perilous valley.
