Chapter 1284: Chapter 1283: Entering Crying Ghost Valley
But when Shenyan arrived, he couldnât help but inhale sharply; there were clearly seven God Realm experts at the mid-to-late stages here blocking Ling Feng, so why are they all now in pieces?
Apart from the thick scent of blood, the only thing here was the extremely sharp Sword Qi! Compared to the Sword Qi he had endured just now, this one was entirely different, like clouds versus mud!
"If the Sword Qi that attacked me just now had this level of power..." Shenyan shuddered at the thought; even if he could endure it, he would surely suffer significant injuries.
No wonder the City Lord said not to underestimate this kid, no wonder he could ambush and kill Ghost Hand; I didnât expect he had such a trump card hidden!
"Hmph, a road to Paradise you didnât take, and you barged into Hell with no door! You all have charged into the Crying Ghost Valley, even if I donât come after you, you certainly wonât survive!" Shenyan was also somewhat apprehensive about the Crying Ghost Valley.
He swept his gaze around hatefully and then left with his hands behind his back. Although those killed were all God Realm mid-to-late stages in power, they were merely slaves of the Blood Howl Camp; Shenyan naturally didnât care much about their lives.
"They wonât catch up, will they?" The Bright Saintess pulled Siteli along, and Ling Feng dragged Jiete as they traversed the jungle; the Bright Saintess asked worriedly.
Ling Feng chuckled lightly and said, "Donât worry, I just exploded with power and killed those who blocked us. Shenyan must be somewhat intimidated, and since this is Crying Ghost Valley, as they say, itâs a very dangerous place, Shenyan wouldnât come in so easily!"
The Bright Saintess nodded, relieved that Shenyan hadnât caught up; after all, the pressure Shenyan gave them was even more formidable than Ghost Hand, and she was concerned about whether they could escape if Shenyan pursued relentlessly.
An expression of despair appeared on Jieteâs face: "I didnât expect weâve still ended up here, is this fate?"
"What fate?!" Ling Feng threw Jiete to the ground and said, "I only believe that only I can control my destiny. Now that they havenât caught up, letâs take a break first!"
Saying so, Ling Feng closed his eyes. Although he hadnât suffered serious injuries in the battle just now, there were still many internal injuries in his body that needed prompt recovery to deal with unexpected situations.
The Bright Saintess chanted quietly, and a warm Power of Light enveloped Ling Feng, accelerating the healing of his wounds.
"Jiete, are you alright now?" Siteli looked at Jiete with concern in her eyes, turning around and pleading: "Afu, can you give Jiete a bit of Healing Power? His wounds are bleeding again!"
Because Saint Di Anfuâs name was too cumbersome, at Ling Fengâs request, the Bright Saintess was temporarily called Afu, and although the Bright Saintess objected, her objections were invalid.
Seeing Ling Feng was fine, the Bright Saintess casually gave Jiete a bit of Healing Power.
"Thank you!" Siteli said gratefully, then knelt beside Jiete.
Moments later, Ling Feng opened his eyes, his wounds mostly healed. He looked at Jiete and smiled, saying, "Jiete, I think weâre all in the same boat now, shouldnât we be honest with each other? For example, shouldnât you tell us your identity?"
Jiete smiled bitterly. He originally intended to keep it a secret, but he didnât expect to encounter Ji Long, who revealed their identity; if he continued to hide, they might abandon him directly, so after thinking it through, Jiete decided it better to speak the truth.
"Regarding our identity, we apologize for keeping it from you!" Jiete said, "But Siteliâs identity is indeed sensitive; if too many people know, it would endanger her, so we ask for your understanding!"
"Isnât it still dangerous now?" Ling Feng asked, "Moreover, I suspect your identity isnât simple either. I think we could fully engage in deeper cooperation, donât you agree?"
Jiete hesitated, but Siteli next to him said, "Jiete, I trust Ling Feng and Afu; theyâre not bad people, letâs tell them everything!"
As she spoke, Siteli stood up and performed a standard Divine Realm noble courtesy to Ling Feng and the Bright Saintess: "Thank you both for rescuing me, Jillan Specially. My true identity is the Little Princess of the Siteli Family."
Ling Feng and the Bright Saintess exchanged glances, the Siteli Family, what are they exactly? Are they strong?
Jiete, seeing Ling Fengâs puzzled look, couldnât help but ask, "You... havenât heard of the Siteli Family in the Divine Realm?"
"Uh... I actually havenât heard of it!" Ling Feng rubbed his nose and said, "Is the Siteli Family powerful?"
Jiete was a bit speechless. He looked earnestly at Ling Feng and realized he genuinely wasnât pretending, then sighed and said, "You donât even know the Siteli Family, I really... fine, let me start from the beginning!"
"There are three great families on the Divine Realm Continent: the Siteli Family, the Betson Family, and the Divine Moon Clan! These three families are also the Three Great Powers of the Divine Realm Continent, boasting hundreds of Azure Sky Realm experts!" Jiete said proudly, "Even the strength of the Siteli Family is subtly higher than the other two families!"
Ling Feng was puzzled: "If the Siteli Family is so powerful, then why has Jillan Specially ended up here? What happened in between?"
At this question, a trace of bitterness appeared on Jieteâs face. He glanced at Siteli, who sighed and said, "Brother Ling Feng, let me tell it personally!"
"Although our Siteli Family is large and powerful, our internal affairs are full of factional disputes!" Jillan Specially said softly, "Our line is a Direct Lineage, but due to my grandfather, our branch fell into decline, coupled with my fatherâs lack of cultivation talent, leading us to be increasingly oppressed by other Direct Lineages, as losing one Direct Lineage allows more resources for the rest!"
Ling Feng blinked, surprised to find such dirty affairs within larger families!
"Until one day, someone reported to the Family Head that my father, feeling injustice from the family, colluded with the Divine Moon Clan!" At this, Jillan Speciallyâs face showed anger: "The Clan Leader was furious and sent people to investigate, unexpectedly finding much secret documentation, even containing secrets of our Siteli Familyâthis enraged the Clan Leader, who ordered our branch to be dealt with according to family law!"
