Chapter 1280: Chapter 1279: Brothers Reunited
"This is already the fifth wave!" Ling Feng and his group hid in a small cave deep within Crying Ghost Valley, watching the figures flash below, he said in a deep voice.
Jieteâs injuries had improved, but his expression was grim: "I didnât expect the Blood Howl City Master to mobilize the entire Blood Howl Camp. Heâs trying to slowly push us into a dead end!"
Ling Feng lazily said, "So what, if it doesnât work out, weâll just go deeper, wonât we?"
"No way!" Jiete quickly said: "This is our limit. We absolutely cannot go any further!"
"Why?" Ling Feng asked.
Jiete gave a bitter smile and said, "Ling Feng, what do you think of the strength of our Blood Howl Camp?"
Ling Feng thought for a moment: "Very good, it includes quite a few experts at the Peak of Divine Realm, although still not as good as Ghost Hand, but not something we can contend with now!"
Jiete exhaled and said, "Indeed, but even so, our Blood Howl Camp does not dare to easily step into the depths of Crying Ghost Valley. Do you know the legend of Crying Ghost Valley?"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes: "How would I know!"
Jiete awkwardly touched his nose, at this moment Siteli said, "I know, let me tell Brother Feng."
"Actually, Crying Ghost Valley was not always called Crying Ghost Valley, it was an unnamed canyon. But from an unknown day onwards, every month, a mournful cry echoes through the valley, and itâs not just tragic but carries a strong Mental Shock, causing many who hear it to become mentally disturbed!"
Siteli seriously continued: "And whatâs more shocking is that everyone who experienced mental disturbance saw the same scene: a man holding a large knife beheading a woman, who still did not die but uttered those cries. Because this is so mysterious, gradually, people started calling the valley Crying Ghost Valley!"
Ling Feng blinked his eyes: "Whatâs so strange about that?"
"Just this alone isnât strange, but ten years ago, several Peak Divine Realm experts from the Blood Howl Camp, following the City Lordâs orders, entered Crying Ghost Valley to find the source of the cries. After a whole month, when those experts came out, they were all mad!"
"All mad?" Ling Feng was a bit surprised, if they were all experts at the Peak of Divine Realm, itâs truly unbelievable.
Jiete continued: "Thatâs right, from then on, Crying Ghost Valley became our Forbidden Area because no one knows what exactly resides inside there, what its power is. But we do know that if we enter it, we may not need the City Lord to act, we would be killed by that being."
Ling Fengâs eyes lit up: "Hearing you guys, Iâm quite interested in that being making the ghostly cries, are you interested in joining me to take a look?"
"No!" Unexpectedly, Bright Saintess was the first to shout, seeing Ling Fengâs surprised look, she awkwardly said: "Letâs not go in, okay? This Crying Ghost Valley is terrifying, I..."
Ling Feng looked at Bright Saintess and suddenly understood: "I get it, youâre scared, arenât you?"
Bright Saintess, slightly agitated, responded: "Scared? How could I be scared! I just feel... uncomfortable, and I have a sense that the scenes those people saw might not be illusions, but real events!"
Ling Feng frowned and said: "You mean, the entity making the ghostly cries is a beheaded woman? How is that possible!"
Jiete couldnât help but shudder, shaking his head: "Thatâs impossible, if the head is cut off, theyâd die, right? Even a Sea of Gods Realm expert wouldnât survive a beheading, could it be an Azure Sky Realm expert, thatâs even more impossible!"
"Why couldnât it be an Azure Sky Realm expert?" Ling Feng curiously asked.
Jiete explained: "Divine Cloud Continent is on the edge of the Divine Realm Continent, the Laws here are unstable, generally speaking, if an Azure Sky Realm expert appeared, it would cause turbulence in the world, even causing space collapse, that being is definitely not an Azure Sky Realm expert!"
So thatâs how it is! Ling Feng blinked his eyes, if there were only Sea of Gods Realm experts here, then his plan would be even more assured!
"They are here!" Suddenly, a voice filled with excitement reached them: "I found them, I can claim the City Lordâs bounty!"
This voice spread out and quickly, several figures with powerful auras began surrounding the cave where Ling Feng was.
"So we were found after all, really... slow enough!" Ling Feng stretched lazily, they had been hiding in this cave for three days, it took them three days to find them, this efficiency... really slow!
"Since weâve been found, letâs go out and meet them!" Ling Feng smiled at Jiete: "Maybe there are some of your old friends outside."
Jiete awkwardly smiled and then sighed: "Youâre right, he really is my old friend! And... he was once my best friend!"
With that, Jiete rushed out of the cave, shouting loudly: "Ji Long, arenât you looking for me? Iâm right here in front of you, if you have the guts, kill me!"
Ling Feng and the others also came out, in front of Jiete stood a young man around twenty years old, his expression somewhat panicked, yet showing a resolute look: "Jiete, are you still stubbornly refusing to understand? Just give up, now you and she, just like me, are slaves, youâre not a Chosen Warrior, sheâs not Her Royal Highness the Princess, you..."
"Shut up!" Jiete roared in anger: "Ji Long, youâve forgotten your responsibilities, but I, Jiete, have not! For the sake of our former brotherhood, I can pretend I didnât see you, now leave, I donât want to see you again!"
Ling Feng observed Jiete and Siteli with great interest, from Ji Longâs words, Ling Feng seemed to have gleaned something significant!
Ji Longâs face alternated between red and white from Jieteâs words, he angrily shouted: "Jiete, who do you think you are, what qualifications do you have to shout at me? I found you, I can receive the Blood Howl City Masterâs bounty, I can even ask the City Lord to make Siteli my woman, and you? What can you do?"
Ji Long was almost hysterical: "You can only lie in a dark dungeon watching me toy with Siteliâs body, isnât it ironic? The once noble Little Princess becoming a concubine under a former servant, it must be stimulating..."
"Ji Long, youâre asking for death!" Jieteâs voice carried intense killing intent, he knew that his former brother had now lost his mind and forgotten his mission as a noble warrior.
