Chapter 866: Misty Reds Conclusion

After speaking.

Yi Feng ignored him.

He took a rope and tied up Misty Red, then pulled her away in frustration.

The woman behind him was still in a daze.

What exactly was this person's purpose?

Moreover, he had stayed in the Forest of Terror for a day and a night, yet he emerged completely unscathed.

The shock in her heart made her instinctively glance back at the Forest of Terror.

At first glance, it seemed fine, but upon closer inspection, she was even more astonished.

The eerie, cold feeling that the Forest of Terror had always given her was gone. The dark, oppressive atmosphere that used to loom over the forest from the outside had also vanished.

Even more, before, just a glance at the Forest of Terror would make her feel an overwhelming sense of threat, but now that feeling had disappeared as well.

In its place was a sense of peace and tranquility.

"How... how is this possible?"

The woman's mouth slightly opened, and she shook her head firmly.

Because she had just thought of a terrifying hypothesis, one that she found hard to believe—that Yi Feng had entered the Forest of Terror and completely eradicated all the threats within.

She looked up and gazed at Yi Feng again.

The man's back was shrouded in mist, unfathomable and inscrutable...

After a long silence.

She finally voiced the question in her heart.

"May I ask why you captured me?"

She looked at Yi Feng, who was walking ahead.

Yi Feng paused, then turned to look at her.

"Before I answer your question, could you answer one of mine?"

After a moment, Yi Feng spoke.

The woman remained silent.

Yi Feng continued, "Can you tell me when the so-called Hong Sect behind you will come to rescue you?"

"Hong Sect?"

The woman frowned, "Rescue me?"

"Forget it, I'll be honest with you." Yi Feng felt there was no harm in telling her the truth, so he said, "I captured you just to draw the hatred of the Hong Sect. I'm waiting for them to come and rescue you!"

"Wait for the Hong Sect to rescue me, so you can wipe them all out?"

The woman's expression turned incredulous.

With Yi Feng's strength, if he wanted to deal with the Hong Sect, why go through such a roundabout method?

Why not just go straight to their lair and crush them with a single slap?

"Not to wipe them out, but to wait for them to kill me!"

Yi Feng said seriously.

Hearing this.

Misty Red's mouth formed an "O" as she stared in shock.

Her expression became even more incredulous.

"You mean, the reason you captured me is just to draw the Hong Sect's hatred, so they'll come and kill you?"

Misty Red asked in surprise.

"Yes, you're very smart."

Yi Feng nodded in approval.

Misty Red was utterly speechless.

Yi Feng, a super expert of unfathomable strength, had captured her, someone whose strength far surpassed that of the Hong Sect, just to wait for a mere sect to come and kill him?

Was he out of his mind?

And why did he want the Hong Sect to kill him?

As if sensing Misty Red's disbelief, Yi Feng sighed and explained, "You might not believe it, but my goal is to die."

After a pause, Yi Feng added, "Forget it, I'll be completely honest with you. I've been trying to die for a while now, and I've tried countless methods, but none have worked. That's why I intercepted your convoy."

"At first, I thought your convoy looked impressive, so I assumed your strength was formidable enough to kill me as bandits, but you..."

Here, Yi Feng paused, his expression serious.

"I have to criticize you—where did you find those guards? They were utterly useless. I finally managed to get one to slash me with a sword, but he didn't even leave a scratch. He was weaker than the old man next door."

"Since your guards couldn't kill me, I had no choice but to capture you." Yi Feng continued, "This way, the Hong Sect behind you would come to rescue you, and then they'd surround and kill me."

"Unfortunately, your Hong Sect, despite its grand reputation, is incredibly slow. It's been so long, and not a single hair has shown up."

Misty Red listened to Yi Feng's entire explanation with a mix of disbelief and frustration.

But looking at Yi Feng's earnest face, she realized that it was probably true.

So, the reason he had captured her was genuinely to draw the Hong Sect's hatred and have them kill him.

But the funny thing was.

Her guard, Luo Chen, couldn't even break his defense. How did he expect the Hong Sect to kill him?

"Take a look at this."

After a moment, Misty Red took out a jade slip.

Yi Feng took the jade slip, knowing what it was.

He had bought one before—it updated with the latest events in the Nine Realms.

Misty Red had bought it to gather information and deduce some things about the Saints.

At that moment, the jade slip recorded the following event:

The Hong Sect had first gone into seclusion for half a month.

After half a month, they officially disbanded.

Countless Hong Sect disciples who were out training returned to find their sect gone...

Seeing this, Yi Feng's face twitched.

"What the hell?"

"Such a big sect, and they just disbanded like that?"

"Can they be so careless?"

Yi Feng cursed under his breath.

This meant he had wasted an entire month for nothing.

Misty Red, however, had a different expression.

She could guess the reason behind the Hong Sect's disbandment.

If someone who could capture her was involved, how could the Hong Sect afford to provoke him?

So, she couldn't help but think to herself, wasn't this all your doing?

At the same time.

She came to a conclusion about Yi Feng.

This incredibly powerful young man seemed to have no concept of his own strength or the strength of others.

Otherwise, why would he do something as bizarre as capturing her to draw the Hong Sect's hatred?
