Article 407 The Plan of Wind

The support from Jude Kao's company arrived a full day later than Cheng Feng's Xieling.

It wasn't until evening that the helicopter bearing the logo of Judekao Ocean Salvage Company finally arrived.

Ah Ning, who had been eating dry food in Cheng Feng's team for many days, was directing operations from the ground.

Soon after, a group of five foreigners rappelled directly from the helicopter onto an open area.

Then several boxes sealed with wooden boards were dropped down.

Cheng Feng didn't go to see the commotion; it was Hei Xiazi who told him about it after coming back from smoking.

Judging from the people Jude Kao sent to support Aning, they were determined to continue exploring with Cheng Feng.

That evening, Cheng Feng and the others prepared a sumptuous feast.

Inside the tent, Cheng Feng and the others followed local customs, similar to the banquet in the Corpse Kingdom, with a small table in front of each person.

It was laden with delicacies, fine wines and dishes.

"Having traversed the Second Great Tomb of the World and crossed the Black Dragon Vein, we arrived at Kunlun Mountain. The journey was fraught with danger and extremely difficult."

This meal is a celebration for our success, cheers everyone!

Cheng Feng, who was sitting in the main seat, raised his wine glass, and everyone echoed his sentiment, drinking the wine together.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Cheng Feng pretended not to see Huo Xiuxiu sneaking away.

This girl thought she had done something quite discreet, begging the Xieling disciples who cooked for ages to leave some of the good food so she could pack it up.

She certainly couldn't have imagined that everyone would find out about it so quickly.

Cheng Feng and his ilk have seen more of the world than she has eaten a meal; how could they not know Huo Xiuxiu's little scheme?

Knowing that she was thinking about those two friends, they turned a blind eye to it.

At this moment, Black Bear, who was enjoying his meal, leaned back on the mat and lazily said:

"Boss, what are your plans for the future?"

Cheng Feng lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled the smoke, saying:

"You and Lao Zhang will accompany me on the rest of the route. The rest of you will stay at the camp as backup."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenjin and the other three women became somewhat uneasy.

Cheng Feng had anticipated their reaction and continued before they could speak:

"Listen to me, having too many passersby is actually not good. With the blind man and Old Zhang helping me, that's enough."

The meaning of these words was quite clear; Cheng Feng obviously had a good grasp of the situation here.

Because the brothers were all there, the four women didn't say anything. When other people were present, they wouldn't directly reject Cheng Feng's decision.

That evening, three uninvited guests arrived at Cheng Feng's tent.

"Old Cheng, you said it's not good if there are too many people down there, so we don't have to go with you. We'll stick to the old rules and stay with you in the Imaginary Space."

It's clear that the three women had agreed on a story before they arrived, and now they're trying to force a change of heart.

Cheng Feng scooped the stubborn Huo Ling into his arms, then skillfully found the high ground and began to crush it.

While speaking:

"As far as I know, there's still a long way to go. Staying in the imaginary space is no different from being in solitary confinement."

It's better to stay outside.

Huo Ling adjusted her posture, completely releasing the restrictions on the high ground, allowing someone to display their skills more smoothly.

They've been married for a long time, and Chen Wenjin and Yang Xueli are used to it.

"Old Cheng, the fact that they haven't made any moves over the years doesn't mean they'll just let us develop indefinitely."

If you linger down there too long, leaving us outside isn't a good thing.

Chen Wenjin spoke solemnly in a voice that only a few people could hear.

Cheng Feng paused in his work, then nodded thoughtfully.

"You're right, I have somewhat lost my sense of awe. If anything happens to you, even if I go on a killing spree, it won't help."

Okay, you guys can come with me.

Upon hearing Cheng Feng's agreement, the three women all smiled.

They are now truly bound together with Cheng Feng through thick and thin. If they were separated for too long, not only would there be external threats, but they themselves would also find it difficult to adapt.

At this moment, Huo Ling's smile froze, and then her eyes began to glaze over.

She grabbed Cheng Feng's large hand, which was stirring up trouble, and gently bit her red lips, saying:

"No, not here, go to the imaginary space..."

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Cheng Feng's eyes, and the phantom of Evil Luo Sea City vanished in the area like a mirage.

Then the four figures disappeared from the tent.

The next morning, Cheng Feng emerged from the tent as if bathed in a spring breeze, stretched, and then walked toward the Xieling disciples who were preparing breakfast.

"Old Han, there's no need to prepare breakfast for A Xiang and Wen Jin."

"Yes, Chief!"

Han Qing didn't ask why, but simply agreed.

Cheng Feng smiled and nodded, patted Han Qing on the shoulder, and then left the camp.

At this moment, Chen Wenjin and the other two women, along with A Xiang, were already in the imaginary space. After studying the principles of Yin and Yang harmony last night, Cheng Feng woke A Xiang up before dawn.

After telling her about this, Ah Xiang immediately decided to go with her three sisters-in-law.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Feng also collected the supplies that the Unloading Ridge had airlifted, but still left enough supplies for the Unloading Ridge disciples.

As I slowly walked into the woods, intending to stretch my body while enjoying the fresh morning air, I unexpectedly saw Zhang Qiling leaning against a tree smoking.

The man wore a hood, hiding his face in the shadows, and held a cigarette between his fingers, with wisps of smoke enveloping him.

Perhaps sensing Cheng Feng's gaze, Zhang Qiling raised his head and looked in this direction.

"Why did you get up so early?"

Upon approaching, Cheng Feng leaned against Zhang Qiling, casually took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one for himself.

"Can't sleep."

Zhang Qiling's tone was calm, but you could tell from his eyes that he was carrying a heavy burden in his heart.

"Tell me about it, maybe I can help."

Zhang Qiling was silent for a moment, then spoke with slightly complicated emotions:

"I remembered something about this second-best mausoleum in the world."

"Troublesome?"

Zhang Qiling is not a talkative person, so Cheng Feng could only guide him to gradually reveal his thoughts.

"Hmm, if we get any deeper, the bronze might not be able to stop the divine gift."

Lu had a great influence on the Zhang family, and the Bone Temple in the Black Dragon Vein was the consequence.

They knew that even with bronze guardians, they could not escape the fate bestowed by heaven.

That's why they built a simple little temple there, and then used everyone's lives to leave a glimmer of hope for those who came after.

"Then you stay up there to provide support, and I'll go with the blind man."

Cheng Feng did not hesitate and immediately made his decision.

Losing one's memory is a terrible experience, and Cheng Feng didn't want to waste his breath explaining to Zhang Qiling about his past as a prostitute.

"That thing is terrifying, and it's unkillable."

Zhang Qiling neither refused nor agreed, but instead told Cheng Feng about things deep in the Kunlun Mountains.

Cheng Feng smiled:

"How will you know if you don't try? If it succeeds, there won't be any major problems later."

If it doesn't work out, I'm confident I can escape unscathed.

After saying that, Cheng Feng stubbed out his cigarette and stood up straight, saying:

"Don't overthink it. Just listen to my orders and stay outside to oversee things. I'll give you a bonus when I get back."

Cheng Feng then submitted his application and left.
