Legacy: Miracle

Chapter 217 New Partner

A figure in white, like the brightest meteor in the night sky, suddenly pierced the darkness, weaving lightly through the sealed attacks, seemingly blending into the night. He easily dodged each attack, finally landing steadily in front of the expedition team, stirring up a breeze that blew away the surrounding dust.

"Everyone, why bother so much?" the white-robed man said with a smile. His voice was clear and distant, like a gurgling mountain spring, instantly dispelling the restlessness and despair in everyone's hearts. He was dressed in a robe as white as snow, his long hair flowing gently in the wind, and his brows revealed an otherworldly, unconventional aura.

Yun Yi's brow furrowed slightly, his gaze piercing as he stared intently at the suddenly appearing cultivator, his heart filled with wariness and curiosity. "Who are you? Why are you here?" he asked in a deep voice, a subtle hint of caution in his tone. He clenched his fists, ready to respond to any unexpected situation.

The white-robed cultivator smiled faintly, seemingly unfazed by Yun Yi's wariness. Instead, he responded with a relaxed demeanor, "I'm a wandering cultivator, my name is Feng Wuhen. As for why I'm here, well... I can only say it's fate. Destiny has arranged for me to meet you." He spoke lightly, his eyes flickering over the violent seal, "This seal is quite a nuisance. It seems you've been struggling with it for quite some time."

Arya stepped forward, her eyes gleaming with curiosity and caution, as if she were trying to discern something from this cultivator. "You said you knew something about the seal? Then could you tell us where it came from? Why is it so powerful?" she asked softly, a hint of pleading and expectation in her tone, trying to glean some useful information from Feng Wuhen's words.

Feng Wuhen smiled faintly and spoke slowly. His voice seemed to possess a magical power that drew people involuntarily. "This seal was set by a powerful being in ancient times. It contains powerful spiritual power and endless secrets. Unlocking it is no easy task, requiring extremely high cultivation and profound knowledge." He looked at Arya with a flicker of admiration in his eyes. "However, I see that you have a natural talent for magic. Perhaps you can make some contributions to the interpretation of this seal and may even be the key to unlocking it."

Kevin watched Feng Wuhen coldly from the side. His intuition told him that this cultivator was more than he appeared. He crossed his arms, his eyes filled with questioning and scrutiny. "Feng Wuhen, if you know so much about this seal, why don't you just break it yourself? Instead, why are you waiting here for us? Is there some hidden agenda?" he asked bluntly, his tone tinged with rudeness and provocation.

Feng Wuhen chuckled, shaking his head slightly, as if unconcerned by Kevin's questioning. "Brother Kevin, you misunderstood. This seal cannot be broken by me alone. It requires the combined efforts of many to face the challenges. And, even if I were to break the seal alone, what would it matter? You, on the other hand, have so many members, each with their own strengths. Perhaps you can go further in exploring this seal and discover more secrets." As he spoke, his eyes revealed a hint of sincerity and anticipation, as if he truly cared about the expedition's future.

Yun Yi pondered for a moment. He knew the expedition team was in dire straits. A cultivator with knowledge of the seal could help them achieve greater success. But he also understood that cooperation carried risks and must be approached with caution. "Feng Wuhen, we're willing to trust you, but before that, you need to tell us your true purpose. Why are you here? And why are you willing to help us? Is it simply your interest in the seal?" He stared into Feng Wuhen's eyes, searching for answers. His gaze was sharp as a knife, as if it could see through people's hearts.

Feng Wuhen smiled faintly. He understood Yun Yi's concerns, and also the worries of the other expedition members. "Brother Yun Yi, to be honest, I'm quite interested in the secrets behind this seal. But I know that I can't unlock it alone, let alone explore its mysteries. Therefore, I've been searching for the right partner to explore this unknown territory with me. And you are exactly what I've been waiting for." He spoke, his eyes gleaming with determination, as if he could already see a future of cooperation and success. "I'm willing to share everything I know with you, and explore the secrets of this seal together. But I also hope that we can trust each other, advance and retreat together, and face the challenges of the future together."

A momentary silence descended as the expedition team members weighed the pros and cons, wondering if the appearance of this mysterious cultivator truly represented a turning point. Arya whispered, "Yun Yi, I think we should give him a chance. After all, we know nothing about this seal, while he seems to know quite a bit. Perhaps he can help us find a way to break it and escape this predicament." Her voice was soft yet firm, as if guiding the entire expedition team.
