Wu Xing stared intently at Genggeng, feeling a bit nervous, but not overly so.

"Hmph, I've hidden the Five Elements Divine Stone in an extremely secret place. I refuse to believe you can find it!"

Wu Xing thought silently to himself.

Genggeng stood on the platform, looking around, pouting as he pondered something.

"Not here, not here either, so where could it be," Genggeng mumbled to himself.

Suddenly, Genggeng looked at the Yeti, which had been lying on the ground, walked over to it, pried open its large mouth, and reached inside, rummaging around its belly. He felt something that seemed like a stone and pulled it out immediately.

"Yay, found it!" Genggeng shouted excitedly, holding a colorless stone in his hand.

Wu Xing's face turned extremely stiff in an instant.

Genggeng ran to Ye Chen and handed the Five Stars over to Ye Chen.

Kong Xi didn't pay much attention to this, looking at Wu Xing with a stern face and said coldly, "Wu Xing, do you have anything else to say?"

Wu Xing suddenly roared, "Kong Xi, what's wrong with me taking the Five Elements Divine Stone? I was the one who found it originally. It's only twenty percent useful to you, but seventy percent useful to me. I've served you all these years, what's wrong with you giving me this little benefit! Huh!"

Wu Xing shouted angrily, clearly already at the end of his rope.

"Hmph!" Kong Xi snorted coldly, "Wu Xing, if you wanted it, I could have given it to you, but running off with it is unacceptable. You've served under me for so many years, but don't forget, have I ever treated you poorly? Hmm? Besides, if it weren't for me, would you even be alive today?"

Ye Chen could tell there was a story between the two.

Wu Xing was momentarily speechless by Kong Xi's words.

"Wu Xing! I'll give you a choice: either come back with me or die here!"

"No! I won't go back with you. My fate will be in my own hands!" Wu Xing shouted furiously like a madman.

"It's not up to you!"

Kong Xi suddenly appeared in front of Wu Xing and slapped the top of his head directly.

Crack, the sound of ice forming, and Wu Xing was frozen by something that looked like ice, his expression still the same hideous one as before.

"Space constriction!"

A jade finger gently tapped the ice, and the ice rapidly contracted at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally becoming thumb-sized, and Wu Xing, inside, also began to shrink similarly.

In the end, it became a thumb-sized object that Kong Xi put away.

The Ice Seal and others were dumbfounded; they couldn't believe Kong Xi possessed such an ability. Are all monsters with the spatial attribute this monstrous?

Everyone was rendered momentarily speechless.

The handmaidens of Wu Xing crouched nearby, shivering in fear, having been terrified out of their wits.

The once all-powerful Wu Xing, an invincible presence in their eyes, was easily neutralized like this, how could they not be terrified?

Kong Xi didn't trouble those people much; he just glanced at them indifferently.

"Let's go," Kong Xi said calmly.

Outside, leaving the millennial snowfield, arriving at the black large region, Kong Xi turned to Ye Chen and said, "Hand it over?"

Ye Chen didn't hesitate either. The Five Elements Divine Stone was indeed a good thing, but it wasn't worth clashing with Kong Xi over it.

"Here!" Ye Chen promptly handed over the Five Elements Divine Stone.

Kong Xi looked a bit surprised, not expecting Ye Chen to be so straightforward.

"Now that my matter is settled, I won't waste time here with you all. Explore well here; there's still a lot of good stuff. Ye Chen, we'll talk once you return!"

With that, Kong Xi directly ripped open the space and stepped through.

Black Peng quickly followed after; he didn't dare stay here.

Watching the two leave, Ye Chen smiled.

This Kong Xi, he came here just for this matter.

"Brother Ye Chen, what about us?" Ice Seal looked weakly at Ye Chen and asked.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "They left on their own matters, we've come all this way, how could we go back empty-handed?"

"True, Brother Ye Chen, we'll all listen to you!"

After all, Ye Chen was a Breakthrough. They had also heard that this place is a different world, distinct from the Secret Realm that descended.

This place does contain danger.

"Genggeng, search for treasure!"

"Got it!"

A moment later, Genggeng said with a troubled expression, "Boss, this place is barren, there's nothing here at all!"

It seems this black land is indeed desolate.

The group continued forward, and after half an hour, they arrived at a marshy forest area.

The forest had lush green trees and was shrouded in miasma; merely looking at the environment inside made one feel the dampness within.

"How does it look so uncomfortable in there?"

The Monster Chat Room suddenly opened.

A prompt appeared, a nearby Pet Tamer invites you to join a group chat, would you like to accept?

After glancing at it, Ye Chen said, "Ice Seal, you go in first and check the situation."

Ice Seal nodded and clicked accept, surprisingly entering a group chat.

Feng Huo: "Where did you all go? I'm now in a barren place?"

"I don't even know where I am!"

Wushang: "I was just focused on running and didn't even note my location."

"Get on position share, send a location!"

Ice Seal looked at Ye Chen, who nodded.

Ice Seal clicked to join position sharing.

Avatars appeared one by one, Wushang, Jiangbei, Jia Mu, Lan You, Gao Yuan, and other names emerged.

"It's those people from the Law Enforcement Alliance! It's those thirteen!"

Ye Chen understood, realizing these thirteen must have faced some danger and escaped separately.

Nearby Pet Tamer was likely referring to the Pet Tamers in this world.

Lan You's voice came through, sounding a bit anxious, "Everyone, head over to Brother Gao Yuan's place. We must get that variegated fire herb. It's an absolute order from Lord God. If we don't obtain it, when we return, none of us will have a good time!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Quickly exit!"

Ice Seal promptly exited position sharing and left the group.

"Damn, what could make an LV78 Pet Tamer and over a dozen Breakthroughs scatter in fear? This place is just too dangerous!"

Someone spoke with a hint of fear, stuttering slightly.

"Ye Chen, that variegated fire herb is greatly useful to me, see if you can think of a way to get it," the Pill Master's voice suddenly sounded.

Ye Chen nodded and said he understood.

"Brother Ye Chen, maybe we should leave, though treasures are nice, we need to be alive to claim them. You may be a Breakthrough, but if even an LV78 Breakthrough needs to flee, we'll face huge danger!" the most timid person weakly suggested.

Ye Chen glanced at the person but didn't blame him. Fear of death is only human; no one can be faulted, especially after what just occurred, anyone would be scared.
