Bi Qing narrowed her eyes to look at this cloaked figure again, as if she was trying to figure out what she meant by this question.
But it didn’t take long for her to understand.
Still, she was silent as she was trying to figure out whether she should answer this question or not.
In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, Bi Qing finally said, “I’m here for the Extreme Yin Essence.”
When they heard this, the cloaked figure suddenly burst out laughing.
This wasn’t a laugh that seemed like they were laughing at Bi Qing, but rather there was an almost bitter tone to this laugh.
Bi Qing didn’t say anything as she heard this laugh as she waited for the cloaked figure to finish. Her protectors were about to stand up and move closer to her, but she raised her hand to stop them.
If possible, she wanted to remain on friendly terms with this cloaked figure.
After all, it was easier if this owner of this Minor World gave her the Extreme Yin Essence instead of having to steal it. At the same time, since the owner of this Minor World was related to the Love Sect, she wanted to maintain a good relationship with them.
She had learned of the destruction of the Love Sect, but she had never known who the culprits were.
She wanted to repay the Love Sect for the benefits that they gave her before, but she had never found a chance to do so. Even though she knew that the people behind her would be against it, she wanted to work with the owner of this Minor World to get revenge on those people.
It was selfish and against the wish of her family and the power behind her, but she wanted to do it for her own sake.
She felt that if she didn’t do this, it would be going against her own principles.
It was just too bad that she didn’t have this chance.
Once the cloaked figure finished laughing, they suddenly said, “What if I told you that I owned the Extreme Yin Body?”
As soon as Bi Qing and her group heard this, they immediately all knitted their brows and revealed ugly expressions. It was clear by the look in their eyes that not a single one of them had expected this.
They had heard that there was some Extreme Yin Essence in this place, but they had never been told that it was someone with the Extreme Yin Body.
As soon as they heard this, not a single one of them was confused why the cloaked figure had asked them this. They immediately understood the implications of this and what kind of problems presented themselves from this.
The protectors even quickly stood up and wanted to get closer to Bi Qing.
Bi Qing didn’t give them this order and there was a part of her that didn’t want them to do this, which was shown in her eyes, but they still ignored this and did it anyway. For them, her safety was the most important thing.
But before they could move, they suddenly felt a pressure fall onto them.
Even though they tried to release their own aura to counterbalance this pressure, they found that they couldn’t resist it at all. They were forced back into their seats and they couldn’t do a single thing.
It was the same for Bi Qing who had been sitting there the whole time. She couldn’t move either as the pressure fell down onto her.
Bi Qing looked at the cloaked figure and asked, “What are you planning on doing now?”
The cloaked figure didn’t answer right away as they just looked at Bi Qing.
After a long pause, the cloaked figure said, “I don’t know yet. I haven’t settled on an impression of you.”
The cloaked figure looked around the room before saying, “I’m assuming that you’re here as well. Can you come out? I want to have a talk with you.”
Those that didn’t know what was happening would think that this cloaked figure was crazy, but everyone in this room knew what they were talking about. Though they were curious how they had been able to figure it out.
Naturally the cloaked figure was talking about Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao.
Lin Fan knitted his brows slightly when he heard this, trying to figure out if it was because they knew that they were here or if it was just a simple guess. But seeing the way that the cloaked figure looked around the room, it was most likely the latter.
Before releasing the illusion spell though, he turned to look at Mu Bao Bao.
Mu Bao Bao knew what he was looking at her for, so she gave a nod in response.
After seeing this, Lin Fan gave a nod back before releasing the illusion spell around them.
When they appeared, the cloaked figure immediately turned in their direction.
At the same time, Bi Qing and her protectors all looked at them. Bi Qing didn’t seem to have a reaction to this, but the protectors seemed to be telling them something.
It was like the protectors were asking them to take Bi Qing and run.
But Lin Fan just completely ignored them as he faced the cloaked figure.
The cloaked figure just looked at them for a bit before suddenly standing up. They walked over to the side and with a snap of the finger, there was a door that suddenly appeared in one of the walls.
This wasn’t like the passage that had appeared before where there was a loud scraping sound before the passage appeared. This time, the passage suddenly appeared in the wall, as if it had been there the entire time, but they just couldn’t see it.
After the passage appeared, the cloaked figure walked right through without even waiting for Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao to follow them. It was as if they were certain that they would come with them.
Lin Fan couldn’t help taking a look at Bi Qing, but seeing that there was no reaction from her, he turned back to look at the passage that appeared. After a moment of hesitation, he took Mu Bao Bao’s hand and followed the cloaked figure.
After they went through the passage, it closed behind them, disappearing from the sights of the ones still left in the room.
It was then that Bi Qing opened her eyes to look at where the passage had been.
The cloaked protectors around her were looking at her as if they were expecting her to say something, but Bi Qing didn’t say a thing. Her expression seemed calm on the surface, but when one looked closely, they could see a trace of worry in them.
It was hard to tell exactly what she was worried about, it was something that even she wasn’t certain about.
After entering the passage, it didn’t take them long to arrive at their destination.
This was a room that was similar to the one before, but this one was also different.
This room was completely white and the air in the room was much colder than the other room. It was so cold that they could even see their breaths in the air.
They didn’t know why it was so cold in this room, but the coldness in the air definitely wasn’t a normal kind of cold. This was a cold that reached even the deepest parts of them.𝑂𝑽𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t
After they arrived in the room, they found that the cloaked figure was once again sitting on the bed waiting for them. But this time, they could see the frost that had formed on the sheets of the bed.
When the cloaked figure on the bed saw them come in, they lifted their hand and gestured for them to take a seat. However, Lin Fan just stood there watching the cloaked figure instead.
He didn’t trust the seat that had been offered since the last one that had been offered was a trap.
He had seen it with his Appraisal Eyes, but he hadn’t said anything to Bi Qing’s group. In fact, he was surprised that Bi Qing hadn’t seen that it was a trap.
She had seen the other traps and had been able to avoid them easily, so he was surprised to see her falling for this trap.
There was an array that had been imprinted on the chairs outside.
It wasn’t a deadly array, which was one of the reasons why Lin Fan hadn’t said anything. This was an array that would restrict whoever sat on it when it was activated.
And since this was an array that was focused purely on restraining people, the power that it had was even able to restrict those in the Golden Core Realm like Bi Qing’s protectors.
While he couldn’t see anything with his Appraisal Eyes from the chair offered to them, he still didn’t trust it.
Seeing that they didn’t sit, the cloaked figure didn’t mind and just continued staring at them.
There was an awkward silence that filled the air, but no one said a thing during this entire time.
Finally, it was the cloaked figure that moved first.
The cloaked figure reached into their cloak and pulled out a token. When this token was pulled out, there was a glow that suddenly appeared around it.
At the same time, Mu Bao Bao couldn’t help revealing a look of understanding that had a trace of surprise in it.
After seeing the glow around this token, the cloaked figure started taking off their cloak.
