Several Demon Sect disciples appeared in sight, their expressions were solemn, as if they were looking for something. Lin Feng thought to himself: "It seems that this experience is not easy. The disciples of the Demon Sect have already started to take action."
"We'd better retreat first." Lu Feirong whispered, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.
"Yes, let's find a safe place first." Ning Shishi nodded in agreement, with a hint of determination in her eyes.
The three of them left quickly, bypassing the Demon Sect disciples and heading towards a hidden valley. However, the uneasy feeling in his heart still lingered, but Lin Feng secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would find an opportunity to improve his strength in this adventure.
After some twists and turns, they finally found a hidden valley and decided to take a break and make their next plan. Lin Feng and Lu Feirong sat aside, while Ning Shishi was arranging her clothes, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.
"I believe that we will be able to overcome the next challenge." Lin Feng said confidently, secretly thinking about how to deal with the upcoming outer sect competition.
"Of course! I'm looking forward to showing my strength in the competition." Ning Shishi smiled mischievously, with a hint of determination in her eyes.
At this moment, Ning Shishi suddenly stopped smiling, and a trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes. Lin Feng and Lu Feirong also felt an aura of uneasiness and thought to themselves: "Is there danger coming?"
"Did you hear anything?" Ning Shishi asked in a low voice, her expression serious.
"I heard it, there seemed to be footsteps." Lin Feng frowned slightly, and his heart tightened.
"We have to prepare to fight!" Lu Feirong's voice was filled with a hint of nervousness, and the three of them quickly prepared for battle.
At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared from behind the tree and rushed towards them. Lin Feng's heart tightened, and the talisman in his hand shone with light, ready to take action at any time. Ning Shishi and Lu Feirong were not to be outdone and were ready to deal with it.
"It seems that our plan is going to change." Lin Feng said calmly, secretly thinking about how to reverse the situation in this sudden battle.
"No matter what, we must protect each other!" Ning Shishi said firmly, with fighting spirit shining in her eyes.
Ning Shishi's vigilance was indeed correct. Several Demon Sect disciples sprang out from behind the tree like ghosts, with sinister smiles on their faces. They were obviously well prepared. The leading disciple was tall and tall, with a cunning light in his eyes, and a cold smile on his lips: "Hey, aren't these three little white rabbits? You dare to wander around here, you are really overestimating your abilities!"
"We are not your prey!" Lin Feng shouted angrily, the talisman in his hand flashing, ready to fight. A fighting spirit ignited in his heart, and he would never allow himself to be easily defeated by these Demon Sect disciples.
"Come on, come on!" the burly disciple ordered, and other Demon Sect disciples rushed towards the three of them, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
"Get ready!" Lin Feng shouted, the spiritual talisman flashed in his hand, and powerful spiritual power instantly poured into his body, sweeping through him like a torrent. His body trembled slightly, and then he rushed forward and met the first Demon Sect disciple who rushed towards him.
"Bang!" The two collided, and Lin Feng's fist hit the other's face like a hammer. The burly disciple grunted and staggered back, obviously not expecting Lin Feng to be so powerful. When Ning Shishi saw this, she immediately seized the opportunity and quickly attacked from the side. The spiritual weapon in her hand flashed with cold light, and she directly grabbed the wrist of another Demon Sect disciple.
"Ah!" The Demon Sect disciple screamed in pain, and the weapon in his hand fell. Ning Shishi took the opportunity to kick out the opponent, hitting him in the abdomen, and instantly kicked him away.
"Well done, Shishi!" Not to be outdone, Lu Feirong quickly used her spiritual skills, with a body shape like the wind, and rushed towards the Demon Sect disciples behind her. Her spiritual power surged like waves, and she used the "Flowing Cloud Footwork" to draw a beautiful arc in the air. Then she kicked out a whirlwind kick, hitting a Demon Sect disciple on the shoulder. The force was so powerful that He actually kicked him to the ground.
"This little girl is not bad, she dares to resist!" A flash of anger flashed in the burly disciple's eyes, and he roared and rushed towards Lin Feng, trying to knock him down with brute force.
"Come on!" Lin Feng's heart boiled with enthusiasm. Facing the opponent's attack, the spiritual talisman flashed in his hand. With his loud shout, his spiritual power exploded instantly, turning into a powerful airflow and heading straight towards him.
"Boom!" The two collided, and a strong shock wave spread instantly. The surrounding trees were shaken and leaves fell. Lin Feng's body swayed slightly, but he did not retreat. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and moved forward, hitting the burly disciple's chin with an uppercut.
"Uh!" The burly disciple grunted, a trace of shock flashed across his face. He didn't expect that this seemingly thin young man could have such a powerful force. He was immediately staggered back by Lin Feng's attack and his face turned pale.
"Don't let them go!" Lin Feng roared angrily, his eyes blazing, as if he was cheering for the coming victory. His spiritual power swept over like a violent storm, attacking the remaining Demon Sect disciples mercilessly.
"Ah!" Ning Shishi and Lu Feirong also went all out at the side. The three of them cooperated tacitly and poured out all their power without reservation. They instantly defeated the remaining Demon Sect disciples and were shocked. The cries kept coming and going.
"Quickly, retreat!" At this moment, there was another rush of footsteps in the distance. Lin Feng's heart tightened, his face suddenly changed, and he secretly said: "Oops, it seems that the Demon Sect disciples have called for reinforcements!"
"We can't stay here anymore, let's go!" Ning Shishi said urgently, with an uneasy look in her eyes.
"Let's go!" Lin Feng made a decisive decision, and the three of them quickly fled deep into the valley. However, more and more footsteps came from behind. It was obvious that reinforcements from the Demon Sect's disciples had arrived.
"Hurry, hurry up!" There was a hint of panic in Lu Feirong's voice. The three of them ran forward desperately, thinking secretly: "We must find a safe place!"
However, the road to escape was not smooth. The Demon Sect disciples came like a tide, and each one of them was strong. Lin Feng and the others were forced to constantly change directions and evade in all directions. At this moment, they suddenly found that they had entered the territory of the Desert Dynasty. The surrounding environment instantly became open and dusty, as if an endless desert spread out in front of them.
"We have to find a hiding place!" Ning Shishi gasped, her eyes flashing nervously.
"There is a small hill over there, go quickly!" Lin Feng pointed to a small hill in front of him, and the three of them ran quickly. However, the Demon Sect disciples did not stop their pursuit and followed closely behind them.
"Quick, quick!" Lu Feirong's voice contained a hint of despair. The three of them tried their best and finally found a hidden place behind the hill, temporarily avoiding the pursuers.
However, just as they breathed a sigh of relief, a crisp laughter suddenly came from the front: "Oh, what a lively chase!"
The three of them looked up in surprise and saw a little girl wearing a gorgeous dress standing on the other side of the hill, with a bright smile on her face and a curious light in her eyes.
"Little girl, who are you?" Lin Feng asked vigilantly, thinking to himself: "Is she also a member of the Demon Sect?" "My name is Xiaoyue, and I am the little princess of the Desert Dynasty." The little girl smiled slightly, with a smile in her eyes. A trace of innocence, "You look very tired, do you want me to help you?"
"Your Highness Princess, leave quickly!" Ning Shishi quickly grabbed Xiaoyue and said in her heart: "This little girl cannot be caught by the Demon Sect disciples!"
"Don't worry, I have a way!" Xiaoyue looked serious, and then stretched out her little hand, as if she was casting some spell. The surrounding air instantly became warm and quiet, as if a mysterious power was quietly flowing.
Lin Feng and Lu Feirong looked at each other, feeling surprised. They didn't expect this little girl to have such a powerful ability. At this moment, the figures of the Demon Sect disciples were getting closer and closer. Lin Feng's heart tightened and he secretly said: "We must seize this opportunity!"
Xiaoyue waved her palm slightly, and the surrounding air seemed to be changed by her spiritual power, becoming warm and peaceful. Lin Feng, Ning Shishi and Lu Feirong felt an invisible force surrounding them, and they were secretly glad that maybe the little princess could really help them escape.
"Quick, follow me!" Xiaoyue said softly, turned around and ran towards the other side of the hill. The three of them followed closely, filled with hope. Just when they were about to walk out of the hiding place, the roars of the Demon Sect disciples came from behind, and it was obvious that their traces had been discovered.
"Don't stop, hurry up!" Lin Feng urged, and the four of them flew away like the wind. Although Xiaoyue's speed was not fast, her nimble figure left a series of light footprints on the sand. Finally, under the guidance of Xiaoyue, they passed through a sand dune and came to a secret passage.
"This is the secret passage leading to the palace." Xiaoyue said mysteriously, with excitement shining in her eyes. Lin Feng was shocked. He didn't expect that the little princess would have such a secret. The three of them no longer hesitated and quickly followed Xiaoyue into the passage.
The passage is narrow and dark, and the surrounding walls are covered with ancient murals, depicting the history and glory of the Desert Dynasty. After a period of running, they finally walked out of the passage, and a magnificent palace suddenly opened up before their eyes.
"Your Highness, you are back!" When the guards saw Xiaoyue, they all saluted respectfully. However, when they saw Lin Feng and the others, their expressions immediately became wary, and they all drew out their weapons and prepared to fight.
"Who are you, how dare you break into the palace!" A tall guard roared, with a vigilant light shining in his eyes.
"I...we are Xiaoyue's friends!" Ning Shishi hurriedly explained, feeling nervous in her heart. She knew that if she was mistaken for an enemy, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Friends? How can you prove your identity?" the guard asked coldly, with the weapon in his hand still raised high, as if he was ready to take action at any time.
"I...I can prove it!" Xiaoyue said hurriedly, with a determined look in her eyes. She walked towards the guards, raising her chin slightly as if to show her majesty.
"Your Highness, how can you mix with outsiders!" Another guard looked confused and wanted to step forward to stop Xiaoyue, but was stopped by her look.
"Let me handle it!" Xiaoyue's voice was clear and firm, then she turned to Lin Feng and the others and said, "You guys wait for me here while I go find my father."
"Okay!" Lin Feng nodded and thought to himself: "I hope Xiaoyue can successfully convince them."
Xiaoyue turned around and walked towards the depths of the palace, while Lin Feng, Ning Shishi and Lu Feirong were waiting there. The surrounding environment felt strange to them, and they were extremely shocked by the gorgeous palaces, exquisite carvings, and twinkling lights everywhere.
"Can we really trust her?" Lu Feirong asked softly, with a trace of uneasiness in her eyes.
"I believe her." Lin Feng said firmly, "Xiaoyue looks very smart, she will definitely find a way."
Soon after, Xiaoyue came back with a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous robe. The man had a majestic look on his face. He was obviously the king of the Desert Dynasty. Xiaoyue saluted respectfully in front of him: "Father, these three are my friends, and they are innocent."
"Innocent?" The king frowned slightly and glanced at Lin Feng and the others, as if he was examining their identities.
"Yes, father." Xiaoyue explained eagerly, "They were chased by the Demon Sect outside and just escaped into the palace. I believe they are definitely not enemies."
The king pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slowly: "Okay, since you are Xiaoyue's friend, I will give you a chance. But you must prove your identity, otherwise I will not let you go easily."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly saluted the king.
"However, the process of proving your identity is not simple." The king's tone became serious. "You need to undergo a series of reviews. Only if you pass can you be allowed to stay in the palace."
Lin Feng and the other three looked at each other in confusion, and said to themselves: "It seems that things are not that simple."
Under the king's arrangement, the three were brought to a spacious review hall. The hall was ornately decorated, surrounded by guards in armor, and the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.
"You need to answer some questions. Only by answering correctly can you prove your identity." A middle-aged official stood on the high platform with blazing eyes. He was obviously the official responsible for the review.
"Excuse me!" Lin Feng's heart tightened, and he suppressed the tension in his heart and stepped forward.
"The first question is, how do you address the king of the Desert Dynasty in words?" the official asked coldly.
"Your Majesty!" The three of them replied in unison, with firmness in their voices.
"Very good, second question, what are the taboos in the palace?" the official continued to ask.
"You are not allowed to enter the harem at will!" Ning Shishi replied without hesitation, thinking to herself: "This should be considered common sense."
"The third question is, if a foreign enemy invades, how should the palace guards respond?" The official's voice was full of dignity. (End of chapter)
