Chapter 308: Chapter 184: Forced Body Search

Before long, Zuo Lingfeng also sensed the anomaly in the spatial fluctuations.

Just as he was about to speak...

BOOM! BOOM! RUMBLE~~!

A series of thunderous rumbles, accompanied by heavy, muffled explosions, suddenly erupted ahead of them.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Gu Zheng and Zuo Lingfeng stopped in their tracks.

Focusing their vision on the distant sky, they saw three figures clashing rapidly high above.

Zuo Lingfeng didn’t recognize them, but Gu Zheng did instantly.

"Xiao Xing?"

For whatever insane reason, the Xiao Family’s Half-King was fighting someone again.

His opponents this time were Feng Wuji and Qing Yuanfeng.

Both were at the third stage of the Heroic Body·Divine Seed.

Even by joining forces, they could barely hold their own against Xiao Xing.

"Let’s go."

Gu Zheng motioned to Zuo Lingfeng, and they continued flying toward the entrance of the Shadow Realm.

The moment they neared the entrance area.

"Halt!"

A group of four suddenly rushed over and blocked their path.

The one in the lead was Xiao Duguang of the Xiao Family. His icy gaze swept back and forth across Gu Zheng and Zuo Lingfeng.

"If you want to get out, open your Storage Pouches!"

’Open our Storage Pouches?’

A thought struck Gu Zheng, and he instantly realized why Xiao Xing was fighting Feng Wuji.

Void Divine Stone!

For the sake of the Void Divine Stone, Xiao Xing was guarding the entrance to the Shadow Realm, forcibly inspecting the Storage Pouches of others in a desperate attempt to find the one that had been stolen!

He glanced at the three rows of people standing behind Xiao Duguang; it was Fu Jinlong, Yong Xingdian, Zhong Zhenghong, and their group.

These three had previously joined forces to fight Xiao Xing.

But now, for the sake of the Void Divine Stone, they had sided with him.

"Ping’an!"

WHOOSH~

A powerful gust of wind swept by as Nangong Yaoguang rushed over with several people. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Li Cunyi was among them.

"Ping’an, don’t waste your breath on them! Let’s force our way out together!"

Nangong Yaoguang shouted.

"Force your way out?"

Xiao Duguang scoffed, "Just you?"

"With just..."

BOOM!

BOOM~!

Two massive explosions echoed from high in the sky.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Accompanied by piercing shrieks of air being torn apart, Feng Wuji and Qing Yuanfeng plummeted from the sky like falling stars.

The whistling of their descent and their potent Powerful Qi compressed the air, creating a continuous, strange resonance.

THUD! THUD!

With two muffled thuds, the ground shook. Feng Wuji and Qing Yuanfeng had slammed into the ochre earth, carving out two deep craters and sending rubble and clods of dirt flying everywhere.

"Wuji! Uncle!"

Nangong Yaoguang’s expression changed, and she rushed over.

Li Cunyi and the others followed close behind.

As he ran, he sent a Divine Strange Sound Transmission to Gu Zheng.

"Xiao Xing from the Xiao Family has lost his mind! He says one of his treasures was stolen, so he’s blocking the exit and searching the Storage Pouch of every single person who tries to leave."

...Just as I thought!

Gu Zheng gave an imperceptible nod.

WHOOSH~!

In a flash of afterimages, Xiao Xing descended from the sky, appearing before Gu Zheng and Zuo Lingfeng.

CRACKLE~

Arcs of electricity crackled around his body. With a terrifying aura and a blank expression, Xiao Xing stared at the two of them and spoke with cold indifference.

"Open your Storage Pouches."

"..." Zuo Lingfeng’s fists clenched, his eyes flaring with shock and fury.

’Open my Storage Pouch?’

’What a joke!’

Gu Zheng frowned as well.

Although he kept his most important items in the Storage Leaf, he still had plenty of other things.

For instance, an entire Storage Pouch filled with the corpses of Giant Snake Ancient Demons!

Furthermore, the Storage Leaf also emitted spatial fluctuations, faint as they were.

A close-up inspection would almost certainly reveal it.

Half-sized Divine Weapon, Void Divine Stone, Giant’s Heart, Holy Wood Essence Flame, God-Hunting Arrow...

If these items were exposed, it wouldn’t just be Xiao Xing—even Zhong Zhenghong, Yong Xingdian, and Fu Jinlong would be tempted!

"What, do I have to do it myself!?"
