Chapter 1302: Chapter 1301: Puppet
The news that the Shi Family was going to host a banquet for Ling Feng spread throughout Blood Cry City immediately. In many peopleâs eyes, this was undoubtedly a friendly gesture from the Shi Family towards Ling Feng.
Some people naturally envied Ling Fengâs "good fortune," while others were secretly annoyed, wondering why the Shi Family had moved a step ahead!
"After tomorrow, I want to know what exactly will be agreed between Ling Feng and the Shi Family!" On the other side of Blood Cry City, a middle-aged man said gloomily to his subordinates, "Since Liu Wuyun is dead, that item is very likely in Ling Fengâs hands. We were already one step behind before, we canât lag behind anymore now!"
"Yes, sir!" responded the manâs subordinate in a deep voice before turning to leave.
The middle-aged manâs gaze was fixed in the direction of the Shi Family. "Shi Potian, I want to see what youâre up to!"
Soon after that, in the afternoon, news came from the City Lordâs Mansion about Zi Yue retreating for cultivation. This news surprised many people and hinted at something unusual.
"To prevent us from probing that master of the Divine Sea Realm, Ling Feng is really betting on this. Itâs quite surprising. Does he really have the confidence to handle all situations outside?" The Head of the Shi Family showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this news.
He was becoming increasingly interested in Ling Feng.
He understood the reason Ling Feng was doing this. It was nothing more than keeping his biggest card hidden, making it impossible for anyone with ulterior motives to make a move. This way, they would not dare to act recklessly!
However, there is a drawback to this approach: Ling Feng himself must possess a strong ability to handle pressure. If he canât resolve a common crisis, once that master of the Divine Sea Realm takes action, everything he has done would be in vain!
"If this young man doesnât die, he will surely become someone significant in the future!" Shi Potian marveled.
The young talent being marveled at by Shi Potian, Ling Feng, was currently sitting in the warehouse of the City Lordâs Mansion, frowning as he surveyed the materials around him.
"The materials here are insufficient!" Ling Feng sighed and said, "If only I had a corpse of a master at the Peak of Divine Realm, I could use the power of the Mechanical Core, combined with the materials here, to create something with the combat strength of the Divine Sea Realm, but now..."
Suddenly, an idea struck Ling Feng. He walked out of the warehouse and found Shenyan. "Shenyan, how did your task go?"
Shenyan had already buried Liu Wuyunâs corpse. Now, his perception of Ling Feng had changed greatly. Although he hadnât submitted to Ling Feng in his heart, Ling Feng was no longer as detestable in his eyes.
"Sir, do you need something?" Shenyan asked in a gruff voice.
Ling Feng thought for a moment and said, "I want to know if you can find the corpse of a master at the Peak of Divine Realm from somewhere?"
Shenyanâs body shuddered slightly. With a hint of wariness, he asked, "Sir, you are...?"
Seeing Shenyanâs wary look, Ling Feng smiled and said, "Donât worry, I just want to find the corpses of some masters at the Peak of Divine Realm for some use. If you canât do it, then forget it!"
Shenyan quietly sighed in relief and hesitantly said, "Sir, masters at the Peak of Divine Realm are considered top experts in Blood Cry City. Itâs generally impossible to find such corpses, but... I have some corpses of experts in the later stage of the Divine Realm in my possession."
Ling Feng looked at Shenyan suspiciously. "You have corpses in your possession?"
Shenyan grinned and said, "Sir, have you forgotten? During our battle, before you left, you killed seven experts in the late Divine Realm from our Blood Howl Camp!"
Ling Feng slapped his forehead, almost having forgotten about it.
"This is truly perfect. Hurry and bring those seven corpses to the warehouse for me!" Ling Feng said with excitement.
Shenyan couldnât help but step back and said, "Okay, sir, Iâll go right away."
Seeing Ling Fengâs excitement, Shenyan felt Ling Feng must have some unsavory habits. He thought it best to keep some distance from Ling Feng!
In less than an hour, the seven corpses were delivered to the warehouse.
Ling Feng looked at these seven corpses as if he were looking at seven naked beauties.
He closed the warehouse door and began pondering continuously.
"Did you know? Our new City Lord seems to have a necrophilia!"
"Really? How could that be? Iâve seen the new City Lord accompanied by a peerless beauty, wouldnât this be such a waste?"
"Do you think Iâm kidding? This came straight from Lord Shenyan himself. Iâm telling you, you better keep it to yourselves, if the City Lord finds out, I wonât be able to keep my life!"
"Of course, but... this news is truly thrilling!"
...
Bent over reconstructing the corpses in the warehouse, Ling Feng had no idea that the "hobby" of the new City Lord had spread throughout the City Lordâs Mansion, even affecting the way people looked at the Bright Saintess.
Ling Feng was unaware of this, and even if he knew, he wouldnât care. The urgent task now was to solve the issue of his safety. As for the title of pervert... Ling Feng would definitely settle accounts with Shenyan over this.
A whole night passed, and when morning came, Ling Feng dragged his exhausted body out of the warehouse, followed by seven human-shaped puppets with the cultivation at the Peak of Divine Realm.
These human puppets were concealed within large cloaks, ordinary people could hardly detect their true nature.
"Itâs such a pity, the innate conditions of these corpses are lacking, and the materials in the warehouse are limited. Not a single one can reach the cultivation of the Divine Sea Realm. Otherwise, I would be more confident about attending the banquet tonight!" Ling Feng shook his head and went back to sleep.
Meanwhile, the seven puppets dutifully followed the commands implanted in their minds by Ling Feng, standing quietly outside like seven guardians.
Ling Feng slept soundly until a scream startled him awake.
"What happened?" Ling Feng sat up abruptly, only to find that the seven puppets had surrounded the Bright Saintess, exuding a strong killing aura with the intent to dismember her.
"Back off!" Ling Feng shouted hastily, and only then did the seven puppets retreat.
The Bright Saintess patted her chest and said, "Ling Feng, where did you find these seven people? Their strengths are terrifying, even not weaker than Shenyan!"
Ling Feng smiled and said, "Theyâre not human!"
"What are you joking about? Theyâre not human... could it be..." The Bright Saintess seemed to realize something. "They are... puppets?"
Considering Ling Feng had received the Mechanical Core inheritance, the Bright Saintess naturally realized this immediately.
