Tribute Treasure!

Putting the little fox on his shoulder, he flew toward the direction the fox pointed. After a whole morning, a huge waterfall came into sight. "They are inside the waterfall." The little fox said pointing toward the beautiful waterfall.

Tian Feng nodded and move swiftly in silence toward the cave behind the waterfall. Spreading his sense, there's nothing behind the waterfall. He entered the cave and float gently along the way. Soon, he saw a light, following it, he came out of the cave and arrived at the other side of the mountain.

There was a huge crater here. It was a barren land with not a single grass to be seen. In the middle was a big fox. Eight men were seen standing on the eight directions. Each of them was chanting something he couldn't make sense of.

Looking at them, they seem not to have noticed his arrival. Thus, he continued to float gently forward but suddenly he was pushed out by some invisible force. It was like he walked into a wall.

One of the eight men opened his eyes and stare at where Tian Feng was a moment ago but see nothing. However, he could feel the presence of the little fox. Thinking that it was just the little fox, he quickly closed his eyes again. Earlier, he didn't stop chanting although he opened his eyes to find Tian Feng.

The reason he can't see Tian Feng was simple. Tian Feng has unlocked a psychic ability, Invisibility. He had merged it with a stealth technique and able to hide all his presence.

After almost died once, he had become warier and prepare for many more things during these four years.

In the invisibility mode, he flew higher hoping to bypass the wall. However, the wall was still there. "Yuki! What is this?"

"It's a protection field made from natural energy using yin-yang principle. You can't fly past it unless the people inside open a pathway for you."

Teleport!

Hehe... If I can't touch it, I'll just not touch it. Teleport was also a psychic ability that he unlocked but at his current level, he can only teleport for a short distance.

Floating in the centre of the formation of the eight men, he looked at the fox that was laying there in pain. Its blood was flowing toward an object. At this rate, the fox will die soon. I have to save it. But he gotta take down the men first, otherwise, he couldn't teleport the fox out.

After which, he took out four shurikens which were his hidden weapon. He threw them at the four men. However, three of them dodged the attack successfully. One of them only got a scratch.

Hais... seem like I need to improve my shuriken throwing skill more. Exit his invisibility mode, he adorned his new armour set. Whenever he entered the invisibility mode, he had to unequip his clothes otherwise people will see clothes flying.

Thus, if he had to battle, he can't be invisible.

First, he executed a Lightning Palm Strike and without waiting to see the result, he shoots eight bullets. After which, he created 8 giant arms and punch down using Divine Punch.

The eight men were dead without even knowing why. "Oops! I forgot to interrogate them."

Well... It's fine anyway, I'll just see his past.

Psychometry!

It seems like they were controlled. Tian Feng's face turned grim. He had just killed people unnecessary again. Those people could be saved but he killed them.

Retrocognition!

While Psychometry can give him the information about the past of the person or object, he can't see anything after they were controlled. Thus, he used Retrocognition to perceive the past event here in this place.

Shortly a scene appeared in his mind, one of the men was holding the object.

"Be careful!" Said the other man.

After watching till the time he comes, he still couldn't get any useful information. Those people barely said anything, all they do was chanting that weird language. Forget it!

Looking at the corpses of the people he had just killed, he sighed. "At least I'll cremate them."

Pyrokinesis! Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu

After which, he turned to look at the object from earlier. At the same time, he channelled his Qi to help the fox recover. The little fox had long rushed over to hug her mother.

Tian Feng touched the object and at that moment, he felt something peculiar. He stored it inside the inventory and viewed its name.

It was called [Hell Tribute]. Its basic function was to receive treasure from here in exchange for something from hell. Could it be they want to revive someone? Or could it be they want to bring some monster from hell over here?

Wait... hell was real?

[Yuki! Research the object and find out how it works. I think we can use it to travel from here to hell and back. There's something I want from hell. Amaterasu... Just you wait...]

Thinking about it, those men were peak spiritual realm. How can they get controlled by someone? Who controls them? Would I be in danger?

Turning to the big fox who was just waking up, he asked. "Your daughter has become my pet. What do you want to do from now?"

The big fox was silence for a while before it got up and said. "Can I be your pet too?"

The big fox loves its daughter so much that it was willing to be someone's pet as long as it can be with its daughter. But Tian Feng was feeling a bit uneasy.

The big fox was too big, so it would be hard to travel once they reach the city. Besides the fox can't even fly so it will hinder his travel speed. But he can't afford to separate the mother and daughter pair.

"Fine! However, you both don't have to follow me. I need to go somewhere. Stay in your cave! Once I'm done, I'll come to pick you up."

After everything was settled, Tian Feng continued his journey to find Li'er. However, after flying for a bit. He heard Yuki. "FengFeng! Research is completed. I'll transfer the result to you."
