Chapter 1813 - 1814: Wind Howling Forest
Third day.
As expected, Third Young Master Ye, Ye Chu, delivered the batch of Spiritual Medicine Ling Feng needed, and Ling Feng treated him generously, purchasing everything at market price.
After that, Ling Feng left the Purple Crystal Imperial City together with Yuee HuaQin.
After almost another three days, Ling Feng and Yuee finally arrived at the city closest to Wind Howling Forest, Fungyuan City.
This Fungyuan City is an ancient city over a thousand years old. Due to recent rumors that the Green Emperor Seal is buried in Wind Howling Forest, this already bustling city has become even more overcrowded.
Almost every day, a large number of Martial Artists flood into Fungyuan City, then purchase some necessities before entering Wind Howling Forest to try their luck.
Under these circumstances, the happiest would probably be the shopkeepers, who are making a good fortune.
When Ling Feng and Yuee arrived in Fungyuan City, it was already dusk.
After discussing for a moment, the two decided to rest in Fungyuan City for the night before heading to Wind Howling Forest.
A sleepless night.
Early the next morning, Ling Feng and Yuee set off directly into Wind Howling Forest.
High above Wind Howling Forest, Vigorous Winds sweep across year-round, blocking the sunlight, hence the name "Wind Howling."
Even Human Emperor strong beyond measure wouldn’t dare to easily fly into the skies, as the violent wind poses a deadly threat. Emperor Strong caught in those winds would surely suffer.
Therefore, almost all Martial Artists who step into Wind Howling Forest dare not fly unaided.
Within Wind Howling Forest, the skies are an absolute forbidden area.
Upon entering Wind Howling Forest, it got visibly darker, as the wind belts high above could almost distort the light, leaving only sparse specks of light able to penetrate and refract into Wind Howling Forest.
However, this little light is barely enough for Martial Artists.
To ensure safety, Ling Feng still wielded the Swallowing Flame for illumination.
"Junior Brother Ling, the Demons in Wind Howling Forest are naturally capable of controlling Wind Element rules to some extent, so they’re incredibly fast. You have to be more careful,"
Though Yuee HuaQin’s strength wasn’t as high as Ling Feng’s, her knowledge of various dangerous places spoke volumes more than Ling Feng’s.
"Hmm."
Ling Feng nodded, secretly using Unlimited Vision whereby any impending threat would be detected in advance.
Unknowingly, Ling Feng and Yuee had wandered in Wind Howling Forest for a good three days and had ventured into the core area.
Over the three days, they had slain numerous Demons, along with Martial Artists foolish enough to provoke them.
"Bang!"
With a fist, he sent a tusked wild boar flying, whose large body twitched a few times on the ground before falling dead.
Ling Feng cast his gaze ahead, a flash of brilliance evident, yet his thoughts remained unclear.
Yuee HuaQin approached Ling Feng, glanced at him, and gently inquired, "What’s the matter, Junior Brother Ling?"
"There seems to be some commotion over there."
Ling Feng raised his hand to touch his nose, speaking lightly.
"Perhaps there are people battling Demons."
Yuee HuaQin responded nonchalantly; having ventured deeper into the forest, encounters with Demons increased in frequency.
She had become well accustomed to it over the past days.
Moreover, with Ling Feng at her side, she practically had no chance to intervene.
"Perhaps."
Ling Feng shrugged. Among the Five Emperor Seals, there’s a certain mutual sensory connection, and as he went deeper into Wind Howling Forest, Ling Feng perceived these sensations seemingly growing clearer.
"Let’s check it out!"
Ling Feng contemplated, then tossed the four Emperor Seals into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.
If he could sense the Green Emperor Seal, then whoever holds it might have realized someone carrying the Five Emperor Seals "bit the bait" as soon as he stepped into the forest.
And this was precisely the result Ling Feng desired.
In the world of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, casting the Five Emperor Seals inside naturally severed all sensory connections.
Heading towards the direction of the Emperor Seals’ sense, Ling Feng quickly saw a man dressed in black ahead, fiercely battling a Black Bear Demon. That man wielded Claw Blades on his right hand, cutting open long bloodied gashes on the Black Bear with every strike.
In no time, the man had slaughtered the Black Bear Demon, which had bled to death without suffering a single lethal injury.
"This person is very dangerous!"
Ling Feng squinted his eyes, as the black-clad man felt akin to a venomous serpent, inevitably delivering death with each strike.
"Humph!"
The man also noticed Ling Feng’s presence, glanced backward at him dismissively, then disappeared in a flash before Ling Feng and Yuee.
Just then, footsteps resounded from behind, revealing a man in Purple Clothes sauntering toward them, his eyes directed at Yuee HuaQin as he called out cheerfully, "Junior Sister Yuee, long time no see. You’ve grown even more attractive."
"Brother Duan!"
Upon seeing him, Yuee HuaQin bit her silver teeth, her pretty face turning slightly red, "You’re teasing me again, Brother Duan."
"Haha." Duan Tianya glanced at Ling Feng beside Yuee HuaQin, his smile waning a bit, and spoke indifferently, "And this is...?"
Hurriedly, Yuee HuaQin introduced them to each other, "He’s an Immortal Pond Disciple from East Spirit, named Ling Feng. Junior Brother Ling, this is my Senior Brother, named Duan Tianya."
"Ah, Brother Duan." Ling Feng greeted Duan Tianya with a fist salute.
"Ling Feng?"
Duan Tianya returned the salute casually, yet his eyes betrayed a flash of disdain, held in check on account of Yuee HuaQin’s presence.
Despite this, Duan Tianya’s demeanor couldn’t escape Ling Feng, who simply didn’t wish to bother.
"By the way, who’s the person from before?"
Pointing to the fallen Black Bear Demon on the ground, Yuee HuaQin looked towards Duan Tianya, inquiring softly.
"If my guess is accurate, that person is the Blood Shadow Alliance’s top assassin, Xue Ren,"
Duan Tianya contemplated briefly, then spoke evenly, "Luckily, I arrived promptly; otherwise, Xue Ren might have meant harm to Junior Sister."
The Blood Shadow Alliance trains countless assassins, though only twenty individuals hold their own titles.
Blood Code from one to ten, and Shadow Code from one to ten.
Blood Code One is the strongest among these countless assassins!
"It was Xue Ren! Thank goodness for you, Senior Brother!"
Upon hearing Xue Ren’s name, Yuee HuaQin broke into a cold sweat. Had Xue Ren attacked earlier, even Ling Feng would have struggled to cope.
"Fellow disciples, this is expected."
Duan Tianya chuckled lightly, exuding innate elegance and gallantry.
Only Ling Feng scoffed internally.
In his Unlimited Vision, another figure appeared, sweeping past them discreetly from behind.
It was this figure that intimidated Xue Ren initially, prompting his departure.
Duan Tianya boasted shamelessly that he scared off Xue Ren—how laughable indeed.
"I wonder who that Senior Brother might be?"
Ling Feng squinted his eyes, musing to himself.
Though the figure flashed by, Ling Feng noticed the East Spirit Immortal Pond emblem on the individual’s left shoulder, confirming that person’s identity as an Immortal Pond Disciple.
