The moment Xia Feng appeared with his people, someone spotted him.
One person shouted, and all eyes turned towards him. Everyone was stunned.
He actually came out?
Someone could actually come out of the Valley of the Dead?
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. Some couldn't believe it and rubbed their eyes, fearing they were hallucinating.
As Xia Feng got closer, they finally believed the reality before them. It was all true.
Xia Feng's appearance shocked everyone. They hurried to spread the news, as if they had discovered the most bizarre event in the world.
The 'master' who had been sitting on the ground, unmoving, directly opened his eyes and glanced into the distance.
This master possessed the strength of Saint Venerable Grand Perfection. He had guarded the entrance to the Valley of the Dead for tens of thousands of years. Seeing Xia Feng and his entourage emerge, he slowly got up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and even used his cultivation to shake off all the dust.
Then, to everyone's astonished gaze, he bowed to the approaching Xia Feng:
"Master, Ying Zi has been waiting for a long time."
This master was named Ying Zi. His name was bestowed by Xia Feng, who said he was like his shadow, hence the name.
Now that he had finally waited for Xia Feng, his heart was tumultuous, and waves of excitement were evident on his face.
He had been guarding this place solely to wait for Xia Feng.
Xiao Ruzhuo directly leaped out from the small world and looked at Ying Zi with a hint of pleasant surprise in his voice: "Ying Zi, so Master sent you to guard here. Then you must have a method to collect the Boundless Realm in your possession?"
"Replying to Master Xiao You Xian, yes." Ying Zi replied.
Everyone was stunned, watching the scene unfold before them.
The master, who was invincible in their eyes, was kneeling before the man in front of them, and with an excited demeanor.
They all knew that Master Ying Zi always wore a deadpan expression. If anyone provoked him, they would lose more than just their skin. He had not gone anywhere all these years, constantly guarding this place.
Now, they finally understood that Ying Zi was waiting for Xia Feng's arrival. Their purpose was clear: the reunion of master and servant.
However, they couldn't understand why.
Such a young person, how could he be the master of a Saint Venerable Grand Perfection?
This was utterly preposterous.
In Xia Feng's own memory, he did not recognize Ying Zi at all. Now, Ying Zi knelt before him calling him master. If it weren't for Xiao Ruzhuo's appearance, Xia Feng wouldn't have known who he was.
"Get up and speak." Since he had confirmed Ying Zi was his servant, Xia Feng didn't waste any words and directly told Ying Zi to rise and speak.
"Yes, Master." Ying Zi got up upon hearing this.
"I ask you, who instructed you to remain on guard here?"
Xia Feng asked this question, and Ying Zi was not surprised at all. He naturally knew about Xia Feng's reincarnation.
So, it was normal that he didn't recognize him. However, he knew that Xia Feng would always be accompanied by Xiao You Xian, so he wasn't afraid of not being recognized.
"Yes, Master, Ying Zi has been waiting for you here all along," Ying Zi replied truthfully.
"Do you have the method to collect the Boundless Realm in your possession?" Xia Feng asked, his gaze fixed on Ying Zi.
Actually, Xia Feng could guess without Ying Zi saying it. He was sure he did.
Otherwise, why would 'he' have sent Ying Zi here?
The reason he asked was simply to confirm it himself.
Ying Zi listened and still replied truthfully, "Master, it has always been with me."
After speaking, Ying Zi extended his hand, and a jade slip appeared out of thin air. Ying Zi received the jade slip and respectfully handed it to Xia Feng.
"Master, only you can open this jade slip. You only need to use your consciousness to open it," Ying Zi said, handing the jade slip to Xia Feng.
Xia Feng took the jade slip, played with it for a moment, and then began to open it with his consciousness. Inside, it indeed described the method to collect the Boundless Realm.
Upon seeing the collection method, Xia Feng's expression changed.
