Chapter 1287: Chapter 1286: The Appearance of the Blood Howl City Master
"Ling Feng, whatâs wrong with you?" Because the Bright Saintess and they were on guard, they were not heavily impacted.
Ling Feng gasped heavily, and after a long time, he slowly shook his head, "Iâm fine, I just saw some images, felt a little agitated, but now itâs nothing!"
Jieteâs eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, he didnât expect Ling Feng to wake up so quickly from the piercing cries.
"Letâs go, letâs go over there and take a look. I think I now vaguely know something!" Ling Feng said lightly.
The Bright Saintess did not object, and Jiete and Jilan had no qualifications to object. Although they didnât really want to follow, seeing Ling Feng already moving forward, they had no choice but to follow.
The depths of Crying Ghost Valley were silent, although dense forests grew, there was no sign of life among them, instead, there was a dead, desolate atmosphere.
But thatâs expected, itâs unlikely anything could survive in such wailing cries, right?
When Ling Feng and the others crossed a deep gorge and reached the depths of Crying Ghost Valley, in the direction the sound was coming from, there was a vast swamp. Mist floated above it, and through the mist, something seemed to be faintly visible in the center of the swamp.
"That sound came from this swamp!" Jiete said, his face somewhat pale, "Boss, are you really confident about this?"
"Of course not!" Ling Feng responded confidently, "But havenât you ever heard the saying âseek fortune in dangerâ? And do we have any other path now?"
"Thatâs right, you indeed have no other path now!" At this moment, a mocking voice came over.
The four of them instantly tensed up: "Who is it? Whoâs there?"
Crunch, crunch, footsteps approached, and then a towering figure appeared before them.
Jieteâs eyes widened instantly, "You... you... you are the Blood Howl City Master! How could you be here?"
Ling Feng was shocked, his body instinctively tensed, his right hand clenched, ready to summon the Mo Yu Sword at any moment.
The Blood Howl City Master appeared too suddenly, and if he hadnât spoken just now, Ling Feng and the others wouldnât have even noticed his presence!
This meant that if he had launched an attack suddenly, none of them would have been able to dodge his attack.
"Is this the cultivation of the Sea of Gods Realm?" Ling Feng thought, feeling heavy-hearted.
The Blood Howl City Master looked at Jiete, nodded slightly, "A warrior trained by the Siteli Family indeed, loyal and fearless! To be honest, I was quite surprised you could lead Jilan Specially out of my Blood Howl Camp."
Jiete said nothing, only slightly moved forward to shield Jilan Specially, though it might be of no use, Jiete still hoped to force even a one in ten thousand chance!
"Donât look so tense!" The Blood Howl City Master said indifferently, "If I really wanted to act against you, do you think with your strength, you could truly leave the Blood Howl Camp? Moreover... from the first day you entered the camp, I already knew your true identities!"
Jiete and Jilan exchanged a look, seeing a trace of shock in each otherâs eyes. They thought they had hidden well, but unexpectedly, they were seen through with great perception.
Ling Feng frowned slightly, not sensing any hostility or killing intent from the Blood Howl City Master, which puzzled him. Could it be that the Blood Howl City Master does not intend to kill them?
But how was that possible? Ling Feng had killed his general, Ghost Hand!
But since the Blood Howl City Master did not make the first move, Ling Feng also maintained a strategy of not acting unless attacked.
"You are Ling Feng? The one who killed Ghost Hand?" The Blood Howl City Master looked at Ling Feng, nodding slightly, "Truly a talented youth, you possess both the Power of the Abyss from the Abyssal Clan and a very unfamiliar power, which makes me very curious."
Ling Feng grinned. Besides the Power of the Abyss, there was the power generated by the Dragon God Technique within him, which came from Huaxia, from Earth, naturally different from the Power of the Abyss.
"Rest assured, I have no intention of killing you this time!" The Blood Howl City Master said indifferently, "On the contrary, I may need your help later!"
Ling Feng and the others were curious, not knowing what scheme the Blood Howl City Master was hatching that required their help. How could this be? Shouldnât it be a deadly confrontation, a life and death struggle? What was this calm conversational scene?
"Why!" Ling Feng asked in a deep voice.
The Blood Howl City Master raised an eyebrow and said, "What do you mean? Are you asking why I wonât kill you, or why I need your help?"
"Both!" Ling Feng said, "Arenât we supposed to be enemies?"
The Blood Howl City Master laughed heartily, "Enemies? The so-called enmity is but a figment of your imagination! In reality, I never had any intention to kill you!"
Upon hearing the City Masterâs words, everyone was even more bewildered, what was going on here?
"Ghost Hand was indeed my subordinate, but in my eyes, Ghost Hand was no different from a slave of the Blood Howl Camp. Do you think I would get furious over a slave? Besides, although that guyâs strength was inadequate, his ambitions were high. Even if you didnât kill him, I wouldnât have let him go!"
The City Masterâs words left everyone somewhat confused. He continued, "Actually, I have some history with the Siteli Family, which is why I could recognize their identity at first glance. As for the sound transmitting note Jiete saw, I intended for him to see it!"
"Although I am a city lord, I canât compare to the gigantic Siteli Family, so when they wanted me to find you and kill you, I couldnât refuse too obviously!" The City Master said indifferently.
"Are you trying to help us?" Jiete hesitated before speaking.
"Help you? No, youâre thinking too much. I simply donât want to get involved in your familyâs disputes!" The City Master shrugged and said, "In large families, powers are intricately crisscrossed. If I killed you, maybe an expert from your side would decapitate me overnight. As a mere city lord, why should I involve myself in your struggles?"
The City Master smiled and said, "Driving you out of Blood Cry City, your lives and futures are your own matters, nothing to do with me."
