Chapter 1301: Chapter 1300: Secret Realm Map
Situ left the City Lordās Mansion, and Demon Eye came up to him, quietly asking, "Situ, in your opinion, what kind of person is this Ling Feng?"
Situ looked at Demon Eye with a faint smile, "If you want to know, why not ask Lord Ling directly?"
Demon Eyeās face looked a bit bitter as he said, "This newcomer doesnāt play by the rules at all. Iām worried he might just tell me to drop dead!"
Situ chuckled, "Donāt worry, this Ling Feng... his strength may not be impressive, but heās more difficult to deal with than Liu Wuyun. I have that feeling!"
At this moment, Situās mind recalled Ling Fengās words from earlier, he couldnāt help but mutter to himself, "Ling Feng... I hope you really have this confidence, otherwise, your fate will be quite miserable!"
Ling Feng naturally didnāt have this confidence; he was just deliberately throwing a smoke bomb in front of Situ! He felt that Situās identity might not be as simple as it appeared, so he decided to appear more tough before him.
However, when Ling Feng returned to the back room, his expression quickly turned grim.
He wasnāt ready yet, and the people of Blood Cry City couldnāt wait to test him. There was no one in Blood Cry City he could trust, but there were plenty of rogues and scoundrels, making Ling Feng have a headache.
"Ling Feng!" The Bright Saintess entered Ling Fengās room, excitedly saying, "Sister Zi Yue has broken the seal on the box!"
"Really?" A trace of joy appeared on Ling Fengās face; this was probably the best news he had heard.
"Whatās inside?" Ling Feng asked.
"Itās a map and a key!" Zi Yueās voice came through. In her hand was the opened box.
Zi Yue placed the box on Ling Fengās desk, saying, "The seal on the box is unique to our tribe. It just so happens that I know a bit about it, so I opened it. However, there were no letters inside, just these!"
Ling Feng curiously picked up the map and the key. He discovered that the map seemed to depict an underground palace but was extremely complex. After looking at it for a while, Ling Feng felt a little dizzy!
"What kind of map is this!" Ling Feng put down the map, feeling a bit of a headache as he spoke.
"This is a map of a Secret Realm!" Zi Yueās voice was slightly excited as she said, "Although we donāt know where Liu Wuyun got it from, this is indeed a map of a Secret Realm."
"Secret Realm?" Ling Feng and Bright Saintess exchanged a glance; the term was very unfamiliar to them.
Zi Yue was a bit surprised, saying, "You donāt know about the existence of Secret Realms?"
Ling Feng suddenly remembered what he had just seen in the history of the Divine Realm. He smiled and said, "How could we not know about Secret Realms? But what weāre curious about is why Liu Wuyun has a map of a Secret Realm. Arenāt all Secret Realms resources that various forces vie for? Liu Wuyun must have some skills to possess a map of a secret realm!"
Zi Yue nodded, "Thatās right, Secret Realms are extremely rare. Iām very curious about this as well, but Iām certain this is a map of a Secret Realm! I just donāt know where this Secret Realm is and when it will open!"
At this point, a trace of regret appeared on Zi Yueās face.
Ling Feng cheerfully put the map and key into the Devilās Ring, saying, "Donāt be so worried; finders keepers! And since weāve gotten it, why worry about not being able to find the Secret Realm?"
"You really have a big heart!" Sister Zi Yue laughed and said, "It seems that my composure is not as great as yours!"
Ling Feng chuckled and then solemnly said to Zi Yue, "Sister Zi Yue, today the Shi Family sent me an invitation. I guess they canāt wait to test us!"
Zi Yue frowned, "Havenāt you changed your decision?"
Ling Feng said firmly, "Since Iāve made my choice, I wonāt change it! Sister Zi Yue, I hope you can help me!"
"How do you want me to help?" Zi Yue asked.
"Closed retreat!" Ling Feng said calmly, "You can take this time to properly adapt to your body. Unless Iām in a life-and-death crisis, you should remain in retreat. Leave the external affairs to me!"
"Closed retreat?" Zi Yue slowly nodded, "Thatās good, at least it can confuse the opponentās judgment!"
...
At this moment, in Blood Cry Cityās Shi Family, Shi Yun was standing respectfully in front of a middle-aged man, who was listening attentively to Shi Yunās report with his eyes closed.
"Yunāer, what do you think of this Ling Feng?" The middle-aged man opened his eyes, and two sharp lights seemed to shoot out from them.
Shi Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Ling Feng is just a guy at the Early Stage of the Divine Realm; does he really deserve such treatment from father?"
"You tested him?" Suddenly, the middle-aged man looked at Shi Yun and asked, "And you lost?"
"Father!" Shi Yunās face turned red, showing a trace of indignation, "I didnāt exert my full strength, and it was just a test!"
The middle-aged man faintly smiled, "Yunāer, can you be certain that the other party used his full strength? Yunāer, your talent is much greater than mine, but you are too arrogant, unable to see othersā strengths. This is detrimental to your future!"
"I sent you to deliver the invitation, knowing you wouldnāt be able to hold back but still sent you because I wanted you to understand that there are always higher peaks and stronger people!"
Shi Yun said dismissively, "Should I fear a guy at the Early Stage of the Divine Realm with my Mid Divine Realm cultivation?"
"But, this guy at the Early Stage of the Divine Realm once personally killed Ghost Hand, a Peak of Divine Realm!" The middle-aged man said indifferently, "No matter what method he used, defeating a Peak of Divine Realm as an Early Divine Realm cultivator is an undeniable fact! Yunāer, can you do it?"
Shi Yunās eyes widened. How could this be possible! In the Divine Realm, thereās a vast difference in combat power between each stage. Surpassing oneās stage in battle almost never happens in the Divine Realm. How did he manage to kill a Peak of Divine Realm like Ghost Hand?
Was it that womanās doing? This thought flashed through Shi Yunās mind.
"I know what youāre thinking!" The middle-aged man said lightly, "But, for someone of the Divine Sea Realm to dare venture into Blood Cry City on their own, that alone shows far more courage than you!"
Shi Yun snorted coldly. Among the younger generation in Blood Cry City, he was undisputedly number one. Hearing his father praise another person like this made him very unhappy.
The middle-aged man merely chuckled softly. Without experiencing hardship, how can young people truly grasp the dangers of this world?
