Chapter 1186: Chapter 1185: Leaving the Dark Forest
Ling Feng looked at the Golden Horned Beast with a smile that was not quite a smile. Speaking of loyalty, the Golden Horned Beast had the least here, so how could Ling Feng possibly entrust the important task of guarding to the Golden Horned Beast?
"The task of guarding the Dark Forest is entrusted to Xiao Hua!" Ling Feng said, "I have more important tasks for you two, so come with me!"
Disappointment flashed in the eyes of the Golden Horned Beast, but the Leopard clamored, "Master, why leave me here? I want to follow the Master to conquer the world, I want to see the Master become the king of the world!"
"King of the world!" Ling Feng patted the Leopard on the head and said, "Donāt underestimate this Dark Forest. This is my first piece of property, and you must manage it well. This is not a small task, and I trust you to handle it!"
The Leopardās eyes lit up, "Please rest assured, Master, I will manage it well!"
"By the way, donāt disturb the surrounding tribes when thereās nothing else to do." Ling Feng reminded.
The Leopard said somewhat aggrieved, "Master, the previous disturbances to the surrounding tribes by the Beast Tide, they were all caused by that Black Fool guy, it has nothing to do with us!"
"Yes, yes, I can testify to that!" The Golden Horned Beast weakly said.
The Black Chimpanzee also felt a bit wronged. If it werenāt for the Key, he wouldnāt have caused such a commotion!
"Alright, I understand." Ling Feng patted the Leopard and said, "You are all Exotic Beasts, so I found you a Cultivation Technique suitable for your training."
With that, Ling Feng handed a Jade Slip to the Leopard: "Train well, and reaching the God Realm in the future is just around the corner!"
The Leopard was somewhat surprised to receive Ling Fengās Jade Slip, and a streak of excitement flashed in its eyes. Although they were Exotic Beasts, due to the lack of bloodline power and strong inherited cultivation techniques, it was impossible for them to advance to the God Realm without fortuitous circumstances!
Now Ling Feng provided them with a cultivation technique suitable for Exotic Beasts, which was nothing short of a great favor! The Leopard had originally thought of itself as just a servant, but now...
"Awoo, rest assured, Master, as long as I have a breath left, this Dark Forest will forever belong to the Master!" The Leopard said righteously.

...
Everyone else was sitting on the Golden Armored Beast, only Ling Feng and Xuanyuan Xia were sitting on Little Blackās back.
"You must remember that you owe me a favor!" Xuanyuan Xia said to Ling Feng: "But I didnāt expect you wanted the Demon Raceās cultivation technique for the Leopard?"
"To make the horse run fast, you have to feed it grass!" Ling Feng said with a smile, "The Leopard, unlike Little Black, doesnāt have a complete inheritance, so that cultivation technique will only show its greatest value with Xiao Hua... As for the favor I owe you..."
Ling Feng smiled cheekily and said, "With our relationship, do we really need to keep track of these things?"
"No way, we have no other relationship!" Xuanyuan Xia said, "I donāt want any ties with a playboy like you!"
Ling Feng had a look of exasperation: "I meant purely a camaraderie of comrades, but never mind, when you have too many fleas, they donāt itch, when you have too much debt, you donāt worry, just keep a tab for me first!"
Xuanyuan Xia looked at Ling Fengās side profile and noticed Ling Feng was frowning, lost in thought. They say a serious man is the most handsome, and although Ling Feng still had that rugged look now, for some reason, Xuanyuan Xiaās heart skipped a beat. Ling Fengās serious look was somewhat reminiscent of her father back then.
"What are you looking at?" Ling Feng noticed Xuanyuan Xiaās gaze and couldnāt help but touch his own face: "Is there something dirty on my face?"
Xuanyuan Xia shook her head: "I was just looking at you frowning, are you thinking about the upcoming matters?"
Ling Feng sighed and said, "Yes, Atlantis is a completely unknown and dangerous territory to me! Plus, there are so many challenges to face. If I donāt think carefully about what comes next, I honestly donāt know what to do!"
Speaking, Ling Feng extended his hand and looked at the Sword Scar on it, saying, "Since I entered the Atlantis Continent, Iāve felt that the Mo Yu Sword has been very quiet. If I couldnāt feel its constant presence, I might even think the Mo Yu Sword had disappeared... which worries me a lot. I do want to find the Holy Sword, but if I find the Xuanyuan Sword and my Mo Yu Sword disappears as a result... I really donāt know if I can accept that!"
"The Sword Scar on your hand is just a fragment of the Xuanyuan Sword!" Xuanyuan Xia said calmly, "Once you find the true Xuanyuan Sword, your Mo Yu Sword will definitely integrate into the Xuanyuan Sword! Thatās beyond doubt!"
Ling Feng chuckled wryly and said, "The Mo Yu Sword has helped me a lot, guiding me through many predicaments. I genuinely donāt want to..."
"But you must let go of such attachments!" Xuanyuan Xia said sternly, "Only when you acquire the Xuanyuan Sword can you have the means to protect yourself in an alternate dimension. Otherwise, with your current strength, youāre not even comparable to a salted fish in another Plane, and what will you rely on to find my father and the others? Besides, the Xuanyuan Sword carries my fatherās aura, and only by obtaining the Xuanyuan Sword is there any chance of finding him!"
Ling Feng touched the Sword Scar on his hand, sighed lightly, and said nothing.
"Putting this matter aside, thereās something I want to ask you!" Ling Feng turned to Xuanyuan Xia and said, "Do you really not know where those ancient gates of the Planes were back then?"
Xuanyuan Xia shrugged and said, "Even if I wanted to tell you, I donāt know! The Portals are a closely guarded secret within their ranks, and if it werenāt for the need to open the seals this time, we wouldnāt have had a chance to follow the trail and deduce their existence."
Ling Feng chuckled wryly, "But now the problem is... we lost the trail!"
Xuanyuan Xia consoled, "Donāt worry, with the current changes on the Atlantis Continent, even the people sent from other Planes are sure to be just as blind as we are. At least we have Tama and Little Black, which gives us a better advantage than they have!"
"Thatās true!" Ling Feng smiled: "Next, weāre about to enter the Great Desolate Valley! Little Black, is this Great Desolate Valley dangerous?"
"Young Master, itās said that not a blade of grass grows in the Great Desolate Valley. In the past, some creatures from the Dark Forest accidentally wandered into the Great Desolate Valley, but none of them ever returned!" Little Black said, "So, I donāt really know whatās hidden inside the Great Desolate Valley. Honestly speaking, if it werenāt necessary, I wouldnāt even want to enter the Great Desolate Valley!"
Ling Feng furrowed his brows, spreading out the map, seeing the extensive range of the Great Desolate Valley, even more vast than the Dark Forest, making avoidance impossible.
"It seems we have no other way!" Ling Feng murmured to himself.
