Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Scaring People

“Brother Feng is fooling someone again,” Ling Xiaoxiao whispered with a giggle, covering her small mouth.

Liu Qingyang and Chi Huang held back their laughter.

Looking at the intimidated general, Feng Wuchen almost wanted to laugh, but he held it back.

“Who is in charge here?” Feng Wuchen asked sternly.

“Replying to the Grand Commander, this month it’s General Ling,” the general answered.

“Stay here and guard,” Feng Wuchen said with a smile, leading the way into the mountain range, with Ling Xiaoxiao and the others following him.

The general didn’t dare to stop them; Feng Wuchen’s current status was too terrifying, and he didn’t dare provoke him.

While there was still some distance from the foot of the Divine Valley, after entering the mountain range, Feng Wuchen and his party quickened their pace, naturally remembering the route from their previous visit.

Along the way, Feng Wuchen didn’t miss any precious treasures, especially those containing pure energy; he was truly unapologetic about taking them.

Of course, these treasures weren’t from Divine Valley—what they took, they simply took.

Several hours later, as the sky was about to darken, Feng Wuchen and his party arrived at the foot of Divine Valley, right where the exclusive platform for the genius battle royals was located.

On the platform, several Great Generals were chatting, but as soon as they sensed someone approaching, they immediately became alert.

“Who goes there?” a general demanded.

“Feng Wuchen?” the other three generals recognized Feng Wuchen, expressions filled with surprise and confusion.

The surprise was at the sight of Feng Wuchen, and the confusion was about what he was there for.

“This officer pays respects to the Grand Commander!” Ling Zhantian quickly knelt on one knee.

“Stand up,” Feng Wuchen said with a light smile.

“What? Grand Commander?”

“Feng Wuchen is the Grand Commander of the Yanhuo Empire?”

“Isn’t that… isn’t that rank a bit too high?”

The other three generals were visibly shocked, their eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

Ling Zhantian laughed and said, “The Grand Commander has already been appointed; it’s just that you all were not aware. Now, he is also the commander of the Yanhuo Empire’s Sky Shadow cavalry and the Black Flag Army!”

“The commander of the most elite soldiers of the Yanhuo Empire?” The three generals were shaken once again!

By what virtue and ability was Feng Wuchen appointed Grand Commander of the Empire? And commanding the Sky Shadow cavalry and the Black Flag Army!

Ling Zhantian proudly said with a laugh, “The abilities of the Grand Commander are something you wouldn’t understand.”

The other three generals were skeptical, and one asked, “May I know what the Grand Commander is doing here in Divine Valley?”

“Entering Divine Valley,” Feng Wuchen simply answered.

“Entering Divine Valley?” The faces of the four generals drastically changed.

Ling Zhantian quickly said, “Grand Commander, there is a regulation from the four great empires: aside from the genius battles, no one is allowed to trespass into Divine Valley until the allotted time. The Grand Commander should be aware of this rule. Trespassing could lead to serious consequences.”

Another general, frowning, said, “Grand Commander, trespassing Divine Valley could lead to war between the empires. This is not a joke. The four great empires have been at peace for decades, and no one wants war. The Grand Commander shouldn’t break this rule.”

Feng Wuchen nodded and said, “What you say, I already know. I also don’t wish to break the rule, nor do I want to provoke a war among the four great empires.”

“If the Grand Commander thinks so, then we can rest assured.” All four generals breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Wuchen had formidable power; if he decided to force his way through, none of them could stop him.

Ling Zhantian then said, “If the Grand Commander wishes to cultivate here, we won’t stop him.”

“Actually, I didn’t want to come, but I must enter Divine Valley; I have no choice,” Feng Wuchen said with a reluctant smile, appearing quite troubled.

“No other choice?” Ling Zhantian was slightly startled and asked, “Grand Commander, what exactly is the matter?”

Feng Wuchen said, “During the last genius battle royale, you should all be aware of that terrifying power. That power was sufficient to destroy our four great empires in a blink, reducing them to ashes.”

Ling Zhantian and the three other generals nodded with fear, vividly remembering the terrifying power from that time.

Feng Wuchen spoke gravely, “At Spirit Lake, we encountered that ancient spirit beast and the Flying Sky Azure Python. The ancient spirit beast asked for my help, and it summoned me again recently. I still don’t know for what purpose. That spirit beast’s cultivation base is too terrifying; I don’t want to anger it. Otherwise, not to mention Divine Valley, all four great empires would be annihilated.”

The more the four generals heard, the more frightened they became, their faces turning pale. They had heard about the horror of that spirit beast and knew that it had invited Feng Wuchen for help before. Feng Wuchen’s words made them believe without doubt.

Seeing the fear on their faces, Feng Wuchen continued, “That’s why I have no choice but to come here. General Ling, you are aware that, with the war just ended, the Feng family still has many matters to attend to.”

“This officer understands,” Ling Zhantian nodded and looked at the other three generals, saying, “What do you three generals think?”

“No… no problem! As long as we don’t anger that spirit beast, we’ll pretend we didn’t see anything. And even if the Great General knew, he wouldn’t have any objections,” said a general as he hastily waved his hands in fear.

“That’s right, Grand Commander, please go ahead and enter, we really can’t afford to provoke that spirit beast!”

“Yes! Just thinking about it scares me! Grand Commander, please don’t offend that spirit beast once you’re inside, or we’re all finished!”

None of the three generals dared to object, thinking about that terrifying spirit beast, they couldn’t wait for Feng Wuchen to hurry in and help.

“Let’s hurry up and go in, don’t delay any longer!” Feng Wuchen said seriously, “Also, nothing in Divine Valley can be touched, understood?”

“Yes!” Chi Huang and the others answered very cooperatively.

“Grand Commander, please be extremely careful,” said Ling Zhantian with great worry, as cold sweat poured down his face.

“It shouldn’t trouble me, otherwise it wouldn’t have let me leave last time, and it wouldn’t have allowed students from the four major Empire academies to cultivate in Spirit Lake,” Feng Wuchen nodded as he spoke.

Feng Wuchen and his team of over a dozen people swiftly rushed into Divine Valley.

What they didn’t know was that the moment Feng Wuchen arrived at Divine Valley, the ferocious beasts inside had long since sensed his presence and were frightfully gathering at the ruins of the Qilin Clan palace.

“Big brother Feng, nicely done fooling them all!” The moment they entered Divine Valley, Liu Qingyang gave Feng Wuchen a thumbs-up.

Zhang Junlan bowed and said, “I admire you!”

“Basic intelligence! Basic intelligence!” Feng Wuchen responded in kind.

“Big brother Feng, is that spirit beast really that terrifying?” Miao Qingqing asked, her voice tinged with fear.

“Its cultivation is terrifying, but it has already left. The four Empires just don’t know it, and the Spiritual Energy in Spirit Lake won’t decrease. This time we came here for you to cultivate in Spirit Lake. With the addition of elixirs and the heavenly treasures of Divine Valley, your cultivation will skyrocket!” Feng Wuchen said with a smile.

“That’s fantastic! We can also cultivate in Spirit Lake!” Liu Qingyang said excitedly.

Xue Feng asked with confusion, “Strange, why can’t we see a single ferocious beast? And there are no roars. Don’t they come out to move around?”

“I also find it quite strange, Pavilion Master, we should be cautious,” said Leng Mucheng with a grave tone.

Feng Wuchen smiled and said, “You guys go to Spirit Lake first, just follow the Spiritual Energy. Xiao Xiao, let’s go find some heavenly treasures.”

“Okay!” Ling Xiaoxiao nodded obediently.

Liu Qingyang’s face changed slightly, and he said in shock, “Going there by ourselves, won’t we encounter any ferocious beasts? Isn’t there a Flying Sky Azure Python in Spirit Lake?”

“It won’t attack humans as long as you don’t provoke it,” Feng Wuchen said calmly, and then he led Ling Xiaoxiao toward the ruins of the Qilin Clan palace.

Feng Wuchen summoned the Kylin battle armor and flew off with Ling Xiaoxiao. Their speed was so fast that they disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.

“Big brother Feng, all the ferocious beasts are gathering ahead. What are we going to do there? Are we looking for a Demon Core?” Ling Xiaoxiao asked curiously, she could clearly sense a large number of ferocious beasts gathering not far ahead.

Feng Wuchen shook his head and smiled, “We don’t need Demon Cores. Divine Valley is their territory; they know it much better than we do. They know where all the treasures are.”

“I see,” Ling Xiaoxiao said with a smile, nodding her head.

Two black shadows flashed by at an astonishing speed, and in no time, they had arrived at the ruins of the Qilin Clan palace.

“Big brother Feng, what is this place?” Ling Xiaoxiao asked with surprise upon seeing the ruined palace ahead.

“This used to be the territory of the Qilin Clan. I obtained my Kylin battle armor here. It was a gift from a predecessor of the Qilin Clan, but he has already left,” Feng Wuchen explained everything to Ling Xiaoxiao without any concealment.

“No wonder I can sense the aura of the Qilin Clan from big brother Feng’s armor. I didn’t realize this place was still Qilin Clan territory,” Ling Xiaoxiao became even more surprised.

Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao descended, and hundreds of ferocious beasts cowered on the ground, not daring to show themselves, trembling continuously. Their fear of the Dragon Clan stemmed from their souls and flesh and was beyond their control.

The two landed on top of a broken palace, and Feng Wuchen looked around at the ferocious beasts lying on the ground, saying, “You should all understand the human language. I mean you no harm, I just want your help with something. I need the treasures of your territories, or you can help me find treasures in Divine Valley that contain pure energy!”

After pausing, Feng Wuchen continued, “If you agree, nod your heads.”

Hearing this, hundreds of ferocious beasts from all around frantically nodded their heads in fear.

“Very good!” Feng Wuchen was delighted to see the beasts nodding obediently and smiled, “You have half an hour.”

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The beasts scattered in panic, shaking the ground. Hundreds of beasts disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“Xiao Xiao, let’s go look for some herbs. Now that I have stepped into the level of a Fourth Rank Alchemist, and I’m not far from becoming a Fifth Grade Alchemist, it’s time to refine some powerful elixirs,” Feng Wuchen looked at Ling Xiaoxiao and said with a casual smile.

Feng Wuchen’s Alchemy level improved rapidly with the memories of the Evil Dragon. As long as his Soul Power was strong enough, breaking through realms was as easy as turning over his hand.

“Wherever you go, I will accompany you, big brother Feng,” Ling Xiaoxiao said with a sweet smile.

“Now is our best opportunity to enhance our strength! That old fox, Huangfu Tian, will surely seek revenge after he steps into the Tianyuan Realm! I must be prepared,” Feng Wuchen said seriously, his eyes flashing fiercely.
