Chapter 1286: Chapter 1285: The Cry Resounds Again

Ling Feng said thoughtfully, "It seems that the Siteli Family has already discovered Jilan’s disappearance, so they want to eliminate all traces!"

Jiete’s face showed a hint of bitterness. When he saw the message, he immediately understood the situation.

"Alright, thinking too much about these things is useless now. Let’s take this chance to catch our breath since no one is chasing us!" Ling Feng said with a smile, "There will be a lot of battles to fight next."

Jilan asked curiously, "Brother Feng, do you know where we are heading next? Are we supposed to leave the range of Blood-roar Castle and go to another faction’s territory?"

"Why would we leave?" Ling Feng smiled, "Is there any safe place on the Divine Cloud Continent? Instead of running around, it’s better to kill the Blood Howl City Master and take his place. Only then will we truly be safe!"

With a clang, the long sword in Jiete’s hand fell to the ground. Jilan also showed a shocked expression, only the Bright Saintess seemed unsurprised.

"Senior Ling Feng, you’re not joking, are you?" Jiete swallowed hard and asked with difficulty.

Ling Feng waved his hand and said, "Don’t call me senior anymore. Since we’re partners now, just call me boss. It sounds more friendly!"

"Brother Feng, the Blood Howl City Master is a master of the Sea of Gods Realm and ranked among the top five on the Divine Cloud Continent. How can the four of us be his opponents?" Jilan said anxiously.

Ling Feng chuckled, "In this world, nothing is impossible. What seems impossible is only because we haven’t found a solution. If I’m not mistaken, our chance of survival in this desolate land lies within Crying Ghost Valley."

"In Crying Ghost Valley?"

"That’s right!" Ling Feng said solemnly, "I know Crying Ghost Valley is strange and has powerful beings, but have you ever wondered why the Blood Howl City Master tolerates such things in his territory?"

Jiete and the others exchanged glances and then shook their heads in confusion. They hadn’t thought of this question before.

Ling Feng said blandly, "There are only a few possibilities. One, the Blood Howl City Master can’t handle it, and their strengths are similar, so he won’t risk it. Two, it’s important to him, and he’s keeping it until it’s time to deal with it. Three, he wants to use it against others or as a barrier. But we’re lacking information, and we don’t know his true purpose yet!"

Jilan’s eyes filled with admiration. She didn’t understand, but it sounded impressive.

Jiete appeared thoughtful, "Ling... Boss, are you saying we should use the creature in Crying Ghost Valley against the Blood Howl City Master?"

"Exactly!" Ling Feng replied, "By the way, when will that creature in Crying Ghost Valley appear again?"

Jiete calculated the days and looked uneasy, "Not good, it’s supposed to appear again tomorrow..."

"That’s wonderful!" Ling Feng said with satisfaction, "Everyone, rest up. Tomorrow, we will see what’s hidden deep within Crying Ghost Valley!"

Meanwhile, in Blood-roar Castle, the Blood Howl City Master listened to Shenyan’s report, a hint of surprise appearing on his calm face, "Shenyan, even you couldn’t stop that little runt? Has his power surpassed yours?"

Shenyan’s face turned red, "City Lord, I was careless and let him escape. Besides... he has cards he hasn’t played yet."

"What do you think of his overall strength?" the Blood Howl City Master asked, "Can he replace Ghost Hand?"

Shenyan hesitated before replying, "He feels dangerous. Although not as strong as Ghost Hand, he seems more perilous. Moreover... I doubt he would join us!"

The Blood Howl City Master laughed heartily, "Of course, if he’s not better than Ghost Hand, then he’d be dead, not Ghost Hand! As for whether he’ll join us, do you think he has a choice?"

Saying this, the Blood Howl City Master waved his sleeve, "Alright, don’t interfere in this matter. I will handle it personally. This Ling Feng is becoming more interesting to me, haha..."

Before the laughter subsided, the Blood Howl City Master vanished. Even with Shenyan’s ability, he did not see how the City Lord disappeared.

"The City Lord’s power is becoming more terrifying!" Shenyan wiped the sweat from his brow and then turned to leave.

A day passed quickly. Amidst everyone’s fear and Ling Feng’s anticipation, they finally heard that eerie cry once more.

As the piercing cry sounded, Ling Feng closed his eyes, dropped all defenses, allowing a fierce mental shock to enter his mind.

Ling Feng felt a buzz in his head, countless fragmented scenes flashing before him. First was a vast battlefield, with chilly winds and pervasive killing aura. Countless corpses and weapons littered the blood-drenched ground.

The next fragment showed an armored woman holding a longsword, surrounded by bodies and rivers of blood, yet faceless figures continued charging at her.

The final fragment showed a man with a long sword, while the woman knelt, staring blankly at him, her eyes filled with sorrow. Around them, silhouettes waved their arms as if shouting something.

"Don’t blame me; it’s all your fault!" For some reason, Ling Feng understood the man’s words.

Then, the man swung his long sword, decapitating the woman. Her body fell with a thud, but her head floated in the air, a look of utmost sadness on her face, unable to believe the man had truly beheaded her.

"Ahhh!" Tears of blood streamed from her eyes, wailing sharply before her head turned into a blood light and vanished.

...

Suddenly, Ling Feng opened his eyes. Kneeling, his body trembled. The scene just now felt as if he’d experienced it firsthand—the battlefield’s intimidation, the resolute and hopeless courage, the rage and agony of being beheaded...

Emotions swirled in Ling Feng’s mind. If not for his steely resolve, he might have gone mad!
