I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Many people agreed with this view, nodding in agreement. Faced with this reaction, Luo Feng paused for a moment before breaking the deadlock: "No matter what the final decision is, we must maintain the necessary defensive posture until we have a thorough understanding. We also welcome friends from afar to share more information."

Yun Feiyang nodded in agreement, expressing his complete understanding. "In that case, why don't we set up camp here temporarily? We can discuss cooperation details tomorrow at sunrise."

As night fell, the nerves that had been tense due to the arrival of the stranger finally relaxed a little. The cheerful atmosphere of conversation around the campfire resumed, but compared to the day, there was a more complex and subtle emotional fluctuation.

At this moment, Xiaoyue, who had been quietly listening to the entire process, suddenly whispered something to Luo Feng. The two exchanged glances and stood up and walked away. "What are you two going to do?" asked a passing soldier curiously. "Oh, nothing serious." Xiaoyue smiled mysteriously, "I just need to confirm some key information separately. See you later~"

Watching the two figures walk away, the others could only shrug helplessly and continue their conversation. "Speaking of which, that hero who calls himself 'Yun Feiyang' seems quite impressive," someone brought up. "If he's as impressive as he says... well, maybe we'll have a powerful ally in our team!"

However, not everyone shared the same optimism. "Hmph, who knows? It's too early to tell anyway," the cautious young man who had spoken earlier reiterated. "In my opinion, it's best to keep our distance and observe for a while. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry!"

And so, amidst the clamor, this restless yet anticipatory night passed. Meanwhile, Xiaoyue, strolling alone and pondering, gazed up at the starry sky: "No matter what, the next story is sure to be even more exciting..."

"What do you think, Luo Feng?" she turned and asked the person beside her. "Indeed," the other person nodded in response. "The future is full of unknowns, but that's the charm of the journey." The moonlight was like water, its silver glow casting a silvery glow on the shoulders of Luo Feng and Xiao Yue. They walked slowly along the path outside the camp, the surrounding silence giving them an unusual sense of peace. "Do you think this Yun Feiyang is trustworthy?" Xiao Yue finally asked.

Luo Feng was silent for a moment before answering, "What he brought is indeed good news, but we can't trust it easily." Then his tone became serious, "Especially the part about the holy relics. I think there may be more secrets hidden behind it."

Just as the two were deep in their discussion, the sound of footsteps caught their attention. Turning back, they saw Yun Feiyang approaching with a young soldier. "Excuse me, both of you. May I join you?" His piercing eyes gleamed brightly in the darkness. "Some things are best explained as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Li Ming exchanged glances with several of his comrades nearby, then stepped forward together. "Actually, we'd also like to take this opportunity to learn more about the situation. After all, this concerns the future of the entire world!"

After a few pleasantries, the two sides gradually got down to business. "From what I understand, the relic has the power to change the status quo," Yun Feiyang said solemnly, his gaze as deep as the ocean. "But it's been divided into several parts, scattered across the land and controlled by different forces... Only when they are reunited can the original balance be restored."

At this point, everyone present stared with bated breath - this news was truly shocking!

"Then how do you know all this?" the little soldier asked in confusion.

Yun Feiyang sighed, as if recalling something from the past: "I began searching for this thing a long time ago, and I paid a heavy price for it. You could say my life has long been closely connected to it."

After hearing these words, a low voice of discussion sounded around:

-"That does sound quite substantial!"

-"But isn't this too mysterious?"

- "If it's such an important treasure, then you can imagine how difficult it is to protect it..."

A veteran soldier, seemingly experienced, nodded in agreement: "Yeah, we do need to be extra cautious..."

Facing everyone's chaotic reactions, Yun Feiyang simply smiled and said, "Don't worry. Since I've chosen this path, I'm naturally fully prepared. More importantly, I believe we can overcome all difficulties together."

At that moment, panicked shouts suddenly rang out from not far away—apparently, someone had encountered an accident. "Oh no! Let's go see what's going on!" Li Ming immediately stood up and ran towards the scene, followed by a large group of companions.

When they arrived at their destination, they saw a thin figure huddled on the ground, shivering. "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you," Xiaoyue said, patting the man's shoulder gently. "Can you tell us what happened?"

The girl raised her head with a look of fear: "Yes...something strange appeared...very scary..." Her voice was so trembling that it was almost inaudible...

Suddenly, a familiar face appeared in the crowd. "Hey, isn't that the legendary monster back again? It's been ages since I last saw it..." The man winked at another old friend beside him, his face clearly showing the expression of someone who enjoys watching the fun.

Seeing the situation gradually getting out of control, Luo Feng quickly stepped forward to control the whole scene: "Everyone calm down and listen to me. Now that we know the general situation, we have to find a way to solve it."

After saying this, he turned to look at Yun Feiyang: "What do you think, Excellency? Are you willing to help?"

Hearing this, the man nodded, cast a meaningful glance into the distance, and a barely perceptible smile flashed across his face: "Of course, since we are here, we will naturally do our best. However, the specific circumstances of this incident still need to be clarified..."

Under the cover of night, the surroundings fell into a brief silence again, with only the occasional sound of a breeze blowing through the treetops.

"No matter what," the girl beside him broke the silence, her tone firm, "the road ahead will definitely be even more exciting... No matter where the road leads, we must move forward bravely."

She turned her gaze towards Luo Feng, gentle and expectant, as if all the answers were hidden in this unfinished story. "What do you think?"

Facing her trusting gaze, Luo Feng nodded firmly, his eyes firm and warm. "Yes, let's go on together." The two smiled at each other, knowing that their hearts were filled with longing and courage for the future.

But this tranquility was once again broken by a faint sound coming from not far away, which seemed to foreshadow the coming of an unknown storm...
