Chapter 1068: This Path Cant Be Led Anymore

More monsters?!

The heart-piercing words made Wei Zhenfang's face turn pale.

What kind of ruthless person is this?

After killing a bunch of high-tier demons, he’s still shouting for more monsters!

This guy must be insane!

He truly hadn’t expected that his seemingly perfect plan would be destroyed in an instant, and things would spiral so far out of control.

Those were high-tier demons, after all.

They were wiped out in a matter of moments, as easily as slaughtering chickens.

The expert before him was so ferocious—how the hell was he supposed to deal with this?!

Eight high-tier demons had already been killed, and now he’s asking for more.

Just where did this ruthless guy come from?!

The sudden question caught Wei Zhenfang completely off guard. His throat felt tight, and he was momentarily speechless, frozen in place.

Seeing the bald old man staring wide-eyed, seemingly terrified, Yi Feng’s tone became even more amiable, and he flashed a friendly smile.

"Do you know where more monsters are?"

The question rang out again.

Wei Zhenfang shuddered, a chill running down his spine.

The seemingly harmless smile right in front of him felt more terrifying than any demon. Despite Yi Feng’s human appearance, Wei Zhenfang couldn’t help but feel a creeping sense of dread.

Arrogant and overbearing, the question made Wei Zhenfang’s old face burn with embarrassment.

It was as if Yi Feng was saying, "These monsters are nothing special."

Just high-tier demons? No big deal.

What a show-off!

This guy was way too arrogant.

His relaxed and carefree demeanor made Wei Zhenfang’s eyelids twitch uncontrollably. The more he looked, the angrier and more indignant he felt.

With his first plan foiled, Wei Zhenfang quickly hatched another sinister scheme.

He forced a smile and bowed, speaking through gritted teeth.

"Yes, yes, yes! Senior, please remain calm. If you continue along this river valley, past this waterfall, there are even more monsters ahead!"

While speaking, he discreetly tucked a teleportation talisman into his sleeve.

Wei Zhenfang pointed ahead, continuing his explanation with clenched teeth.

"Senior, look. If you follow this river valley, you’ll reach an open forest. The Frozen Forest is filled with monsters—it’s sure to satisfy you!"

The Frozen Forest was the central region of the Waterfrost Star. Only the elite demons could enter, and even the outskirts were populated with second-tier high-tier demons.

Wei Zhenfang was truly desperate now. If he hadn’t been pushed to this point, he would never have dared to venture into such a terrifying place!

Based on his judgment, Yi Feng’s cultivation was likely at least second-tier high-tier.

The fact that the eight high-tier demons couldn’t handle him wasn’t entirely surprising.

While such strength was formidable, it wasn’t enough to be completely arrogant. Yet Yi Feng kept pushing and asking for more monsters. Well, if that’s the case, don’t blame Wei Zhenfang for being ruthless!

You want more monsters, huh?

Ahead are the elite demons. Let’s see how you die then!

Gritting his teeth and forcing a smile, Wei Zhenfang’s jealousy and hatred churned in his heart.

After his words, Yi Feng indeed looked into the distance.

Following the river valley, the endless expanse of the Frozen Forest came into view. A hazy mist of snow covered the outskirts, making it hard to see clearly.

Judging by the vastness of the area, there were likely many demons there.

After all, based on his hunting experience, large forests always yielded good prey. Memories of the Ten Thousand Mountains were still fresh in his mind, and Yi Feng’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.

"Alright, then. Let’s follow your lead and keep moving forward!"

Noticing the excitement in Yi Feng’s eyes, Wei Zhenfang felt as if he were looking at a naive fool who had no idea how dangerous the world could be.

A smug smile crept onto his face.

He bowed respectfully, though the corners of his mouth twitched upward.

"As you command, Senior. Please follow me!"

This time, let’s see how you die!

With the perfect trap set, Wei Zhenfang led the way with a dark expression. The two of them, one after the other, leaped down the thousand-foot frozen waterfall and headed deeper into the icy forest.

...

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

Several terrifying demon corpses lay on the ground, their powerful auras still lingering. Just looking at them was enough to send shivers down one’s spine, and a sinister energy hung in the air.

Beside them, Wei Zhenfang stared blankly, his worldview beginning to crumble.

This shouldn’t be happening...

These were all second-tier high-tier demons. How could they be so easily slaughtered?

Had he miscalculated?

The eight demons earlier were first-tier high-tier, and their swift deaths were shocking enough. If Yi Feng was a second-tier high-tier cultivator, that could somewhat explain it.

The gap between first-tier and second-tier might seem small on paper, but in reality, it was a chasm hundreds of times wider.

Wei Zhenfang had accepted that Yi Feng might be a second-tier high-tier cultivator and had set his trap accordingly.

But now, staring at the demon corpses around him, he began to feel uneasy.

If second-tier demons were being wiped out so easily, could this guy be third-tier?!

The thought naturally arose, and Wei Zhenfang felt a sense of impending doom. He didn’t want to believe that a cultivator of that level would appear on Waterfrost Star!

As he stood there in shock, another crisp sound rang out from ahead.

"Crunch!"

With a swing of his blade, another massive demon, its aura overwhelming, collapsed to the ground!

The creature’s massive body, several meters tall, crashed down, causing the ground to tremble.

Wei Zhenfang felt his legs go numb, and the icy wind blowing in his face left him disheveled.

He had underestimated this young man.

He must be a third-tier high-tier expert.

What should he do now?

Should they continue deeper?

Looking into the dark, icy forest ahead, Wei Zhenfang hesitated. His sense of foreboding grew stronger, and his hand, clutching the teleportation talisman, began to sweat.

A feeling of impending death crept into his heart, accompanied by an even more terrifying pressure.

"Why are you spacing out? Keep leading the way."

The calm voice startled him, making him jump.

Wei Zhenfang snapped out of his daze and looked at Yi Feng’s calm gaze. His eyes began to show panic, and his heart raced.

He forced a smile and bowed. "Senior, please forgive me. My cultivation is too low. I truly don’t dare to go any further. As for leading the way..."

His words were half-truths, but the fear in his heart was genuine.

They had already passed the outskirts of the Frozen Forest. If they continued, who knew what powerful demons they might encounter? If luck wasn’t on their side, he might not even have the chance to crush the teleportation talisman.

Earlier, he had been filled with resentment, jealousy, and anger.

Now, Wei Zhenfang was trembling with fear. Things had spiraled far beyond his expectations, and he didn’t dare to lead the way any longer.

Using someone else to do the dirty work was a good strategy.

But the "blade" in this forest was far too sharp. He couldn’t wield it, and if he wasn’t careful, he might end up getting himself killed.

As for the person he wanted to kill...

This guy was just too damn strong, far beyond what he had anticipated!

If they kept going, it was hard to say who would die first.

There was no way he could lead the way anymore!

Facing such a ruthless person, even clever schemes weren’t reliable. Against such absurd strength, no strategy would work.

Wei Zhenfang bowed with difficulty, cold sweat dripping from his temples.

Seeing his trembling figure, Yi Feng sighed helplessly.

"Alright."

Hearing this, Wei Zhenfang subconsciously let out a sigh of relief, as if a weight had been lifted from his chest.

But before he could fully relax, Yi Feng spoke again.

"If you’re too scared to lead the way, I understand. How about this: I’ll go ahead, and you can guide me from behind. That should work, right?"

Huh?!

You’re still going forward? Are you really trying to get yourself killed?!
