Chapter 1104: Chapter 1104: Seeing Through and Striking Up a Conversation
With Wang Zhiyingās tacit consent, Liu Tingyu and Yun Hanrui passed the Celestial Marrow Cleansing Scripture to Bai Feifei and Wei Meizi. Both women had good comprehension and a certain cultivation foundation, so they quickly found the Sense of Qi and began cultivating.
On the roof of the villa, Ling Feng stood in front of the railing, looking at the distant twinkling stars.
"You have a heavy heart!" Wang Zhiyingās voice sounded behind Ling Feng: "Is it about what you mentioned before?"
Ling Fengās heart stirred: "That matter, what matter?"
Wang Zhiying smiled slightly: "When you first met me, didnāt you talk about it?"
Ling Feng laughed and said: "I was deceiving you..."
"Really?" Wang Zhiying interrupted Ling Feng: "My mentor once said that the worldās doom is approaching, but Iām not sure if itās true or false!"
Ling Fengās body trembled, quickly turning around, shocked: "Xiao Ying, your mentor... what does she mean by this? Does she know something?"
A mischievous light flashed in Wang Zhiyingās eyes: "Thatās just my mentorās joke, why are you so tense!"
Ling Feng looked at Wang Zhiying, shook his head with a bitter smile: "Alright, I admit defeat. What do you want to know!"

Wang Zhiying exhaled and said: "I want to know what kind of predicament or catastrophe our world is about to face!"
"Why do you say that?" Ling Feng asked.
Wang Zhiying said lightly: "Itās actually easy to guess. With your current strength, youāre considered a top expert in todayās world. You still want your women to cultivate, and your demeanor is urgent, even going to seek our Holy Gate. This can only mean one thing: you have an extreme sense of insecurity about the future!"
"You are an expert in the Demi-God Domain and the apprentice of the Dragon Groupās Dragon King. Both your strength and influence can ensure your womenās safety! Yet you still wish for them to become stronger through cultivation. Doesnāt that indicate something?" Wang Zhiying said lightly.
A trace of astonishment appeared in Ling Fengās eyes: "Wang Zhiying, you... you can infer so much... are you still the Wang Zhiying I know?"
Wang Zhiying pouted: "Although I donāt know much about the current world, Iām not an idiot, okay? Besides, how well do you even know me?"
Wang Zhiyingās words left Ling Feng speechless; her previously naive demeanor had indeed made him let down his guard.
"Can you tell me now?" Wang Zhiying asked with a charming smile.
Ling Feng smiled bitterly: "Since you already noticed, thereās no need for me to hide from you, but you must promise not to tell anyone about this!"
Wang Zhiying nodded: "Donāt worry, Iām confident in my integrity!"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes: "Hereās how it is!"
Ling Feng told Wang Zhiying about the Earthās seal, but he didnāt mention the invasion of different races on the plane, as the impact of that matter was too significant, so he vaguely glossed over it.
After hearing Ling Fengās words, Wang Zhiying nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder, no wonder my mentor once said in despair that the Earth has reached its limit."
Ling Feng pursued: "Xiao Ying, has your mentor learned about this too?"
Wang Zhiying shrugged: "Iām not sure, I only know that three years ago, my mentor drunkenly spoke that her Martial Way on Earth had hit a dead end, and the worldās doom was coming! But when she woke up and was asked, she always avoided the topic, saying it was just drunken rambling!"
Ling Feng frowned, feeling Wang Zhiyingās mentor certainly knew something. He asked: "Xiao Ying, can I meet your mentor?"
"Absolutely not!" Wang Zhiying rejected outright.
Ling Feng felt somewhat hurt; he thought he and Wang Zhiying were friends, but her rejection felt too blunt! He wasnāt a bad person, after all!
"Our Holy Gate doesnāt allow outsiders in, itās our rule!" Wang Zhiying explained: "Besides, our Holy Gate is entirely composed of women, and men cannot enter. Even if I agreed, it wouldnāt help; you simply canāt get in!"
Ling Feng curiously asked: "Why canāt men enter, whatās the rule?"
Wang Zhiying shook her head: "Iām not too sure either. My mentor said thereās a prohibition outside the Holy Gate, and men cannot break through to enter it. If one tries, the prohibition will be triggered, leading only to death!"
What a ridiculous rule! Ling Feng couldnāt help but ridicule in his mind! Could the Holy Gate be a prototype of the Ancient Tomb Sect? Because the ancestor was deceived by a man, she bore deep hatred for them?
As Ling Feng indulged in malicious speculation, Wang Zhiying continued: "Besides, I donāt even know the Holy Gateās location now."
"Ah?" Ling Feng was dumbfounded: "Arenāt you a member of the Holy Gate? How could you not know its location?"
Wang Zhiying replied with annoyance: "Our Holy Gate exists in a Small World, constantly moving across the Huaxia Continent. The entrance on Mount Kunlun was buried by an avalanche, so my mentor naturally chose another location to establish the entrance. How would I know?"
"How do you return then!" Ling Feng curiously asked: "Are you not going back to the Holy Gate anymore?"
