Chapter 1616: Chapter 1612: The Mysterious Northern Wasteland

"I am going too!" Xu Shihan stubbornly said upon hearing that Ren Feifan was heading to the northern barren lands.

Ren Feifan had promised Xu Shihan’s grandfather that he would not let her face danger, so naturally, he would not let her take any risks.

"No, you cannot go. Wife, I will give you a task: stay in the Valley of the Dead and practice diligently. Once you become stronger, I will rely on you to ’eat soft rice’ in the future. Besides, how could I ever deceive you after all this time together? Rest assured, no one can kill me."

However, no matter what Ren Feifan said, Xu Shihan insisted that he take her with him to the northern barren lands, and finally, with no other choice, Ren Feifan had to agree.

"Let’s go, get ready first, and we will set off in a while." Ren Feifan wrapped his arms around Xu Shihan’s waist and headed inside.

As Xu Shihan turned around, Ren Feifan suddenly shot a silver needle from his hand, which instantly landed on Xu Shihan’s back.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Shihan’s body stiffened, and she even turned around in surprise to glance at Ren Feifan.

"Feifan, you..."

But before she could finish her sentence, Xu Shihan closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Ren Feifan held Xu Shihan from behind and walked directly toward the depths of the hall.

This was a decision he made out of desperation.

Xu Shihan was his Achilles’ heel, the most important person to him aside from his parents, and naturally, he could not let her get hurt.

There were not only dangers from Ren Feicheng in the northern barren lands but many other dangers awaited him.

Taking Xu Shihan there would undoubtedly increase the risk of injury.

He, however, had a mysterious space and the second inheritance Stone Pillar; nothing could possibly go wrong for him.

With Xu Shihan around, it was unpredictable.

Ren Feifan arrived in the hall and immediately found a woman in red.

The woman in red saw the unconscious Xu Shihan, her eyes narrowed, and she coldly said, "Boy, what have you done to the Sect Master!"

Despite her injuries, she was very clear about the importance of Xu Shihan to the sect!

She would rather die herself than let anything happen to Xu Shihan!

Ren Feifan placed Xu Shihan on a sofa and seeing the reaction of the woman in red, he became even more convinced of his decision and said, "Rest assured, she is fine, just asleep. Though we have conflicts, for the sake of Xu Shihan, I have already forgiven you.

I need to make a trip to the northern barren lands, and for Xu Shihan’s safety, she cannot follow me, so I’m entrusting you to look after her temporarily.

If she wakes up, make sure she does not follow me to the northern barren lands, which I believe you also wouldn’t want."

The woman in red stared doubtfully at Ren Feifan for a few seconds before realizing, and then she heavily nodded: "Alright. I promise you!"

Ren Feifan smiled, took out an elixir, and handed it to the woman in red: "As such, for the sake of Xu Shihan, I can’t fully trust you, so you must take this elixir. In one month, I will return to give you the antidote."

The woman in red sneered, "The northern barren lands are the center of the Secret Realms, a place of imminent death; if you don’t return alive, won’t I become a burial offering for you?"

Though she said this, the woman in red still took the elixir from Ren Feifan’s hand, swallowed it, and then said, "Even so, I still believe the Sect Master’s word that no one can kill you. I’m taking this bet."

This action indeed changed Ren Feifan’s view of the red-dressed woman, and he also believed that leaving Xu Shihan here was absolutely the safest option.

Afterward, Ren Feifan left some bottles of elixirs and spiritual liquid, then left the hall; it was time to set off.

After leaving the grand hall, Ren Feifan saw Zheng Xipo and Bai Ling.

"How are things handled? If you’re planning to stay here longer, I’m heading to the northern wilderness. That’s the most interesting part of the secret realms," Zheng Xipo said, holding a sword in both hands.

"How could I miss such a wonderful place, especially since someone has been waiting there for me for four years. I’m ready to meet this person!" Ren Feifan said, his eyes twinkling like stars in the night, radiating a faint glow.

For four whole years, aside from a puppet incarnated by Ren Feicheng, Ren Feifan had actually never met Ren Feicheng in person.

He knew they would meet, but he had never imagined it would be in this form.

Zheng Xipo and Bai Ling exchanged glances, each harboring their own thoughts.

Zheng Xipo’s trip was mainly to protect Ren Feifan. Even though he knew that there were stronger people behind Ren Feifan, they generally would not appear, and it was crucial for him to take action at key moments.

Meanwhile, Bai Ling wanted to persuade Ren Feifan during their journey in the northern wilderness to embark on the pilgrimage to Pilgrimage Mountain and become the chosen one, thereby completing her mission to enter the secret realms.

Thus, the group silently left the Valley of the Dead and headed towards the northern wilderness marked on the map.

The northern wilderness, located in the absolute center of the secret realms, was also covered by a vast desert.

To enter this place, one must cross the legendary "Desert Sea". Originally, this place had spring-like weather all year round, but since the northern wilderness was carved out in the secret realms, all the spiritual energy and vitality were deprived by it.

Over time, the Desert Sea even bred countless desert spirits, making this desert extraordinarily eerie.

After a whole day’s journey, the two finally reached the edge of the Desert Sea.

A perfectly round sunset edged along the horizon of the Desert Sea, casting dark shadows on the ground that glowed a deep red; supported by the sunset, the desert waves solidified, resembling a slumbering sea.

Zheng Xipo looked at the Desert Sea in front of him, saying seriously: "Everyone, watch your footsteps. I heard from people when I came to the secret realms that cultivators often disappear without a trace in this desert."

Ren Feifan stepped forward, and when he stepped on the desert, he found the quicksand beneath his feet scalding hot, almost like turning into fiery red magma. He instinctively retracted his foot.

Zheng Xipo quickly explained, "There’s also something I haven’t mentioned. This desert has properties of the five elements. You might encounter the Flame Sand Region or the Cold Sand Region, even the Wood Sand Region, etc. Right now, we are probably in the Flame Sand Region; wrap your feet with True Qi."

After finishing the explanation, Zheng Xipo took a step forward as if nothing was wrong, and headed deeper into the desert.

Ren Feifan and Bai Ling followed Zheng Xipo’s advice and indeed felt much better.

Winds continuously whipped up in the Desert Sea, blowing up the elemental sands high, like smoke billowing from the flat ground, spinning and running over the desert.

Aside from the varying temperatures beneath his feet, Ren Feifan had not yet encountered any other dangers.

Just as the two reached the middle of the journey, Bai Ling suddenly screamed behind him.

"Ah!"

The sound was deafening!

Ren Feifan turned around and was shocked to see yellow sand under Bai Ling’s feet sprouting vines that bound her feet and dragged her directly into the Desert Sea.

He quickly drew out the Ancient Dust Sword and slashed at the vine in the Desert Sea.

The vine instantly split into two under the Sword Qi, and strangely, it bled fresh blood!

Suddenly, the severed vines, like spirit snakes, directly charged towards Ren Feifan with incredible speed, as if aiming straight for Ren Feifan’s heart!

"Be careful! Dodge!"
