In the dark of Bai Family Town, a heavy atmosphere hung in the air. It seemed to foreshadow the arrival of war, as if everyone had fled to safety.
The empty streets were lined with tightly shut doors. In the tense night, occasional barks from dogs echoed in the silent sky.
Upon reaching the outskirts of the village, Lingfeng raised a hand to signal a stop.
Qing, puzzled, asked, "Why are we stopping here?"
Lingfeng replied softly, "That Ziren's cultivation is unimaginable; I fear we might disturb him!"
"Do you not trust the Sect Master's cultivation?" Enchanting retorted dismissively.
Lingfeng smiled and said, "I have no doubt about the Sect Master's abilities; it's just that the Crane Beast's movements are too loud. I had to stop. Besides, the Sect Master doesn't know the location of the White Jade Escort Agency. Without me to guide him, I'm afraid he might go astray!"
Qing, with his white beard fluttering in the wind, listened to Lingfeng's explanation and agreed, saying, "Lingfeng is right; one must be cautious in all matters. Since Lingfeng fears Ziren, we should certainly be mindful!"
Lingfeng then turned and instructed the Crane Beast to fly away first, promising it would sound the Horn when needed. The Crane Beast obediently flapped its wings and flew off gently.
The three made their way down the street and soon arrived at the entrance of the White Jade Escort Agency.
They exchanged glances and quietly rose on their toes, silently entering the inner courtyard of the White Jade Escort Agency.
"I shouldn't expose myself; I'll wait above for you. This way, I can help you look for your friends' whereabouts. Enchanting should follow Lingfeng; I will naturally lend my assistance when needed!" Qing said.
Lingfeng nodded and watched as Qing flew up and disappeared into the night.
Lingfeng had been to the White Jade Escort Agency twice before and was well aware of the guards' patrol times and when the Hundred Venom Bees were released. However, those Hundred Venom Bees had all been exterminated by Lingfeng, so it was likely that the guards patrolling now were from the White Jade Escort Agency. Nevertheless, with the Black Wind blowing strongly at night, most of those guards had low cultivation levels and could hardly withstand sleepiness.
As they walked into the garden, they saw two people standing at the entrance asleep.
Lingfeng smiled and looked at Enchanting, then gently walked over and suddenly pressed down on the sleeping spots of the two individuals. It seemed they would be asleep for several more hours.
"Why did you bring me to the garden? It's so dark, are we here to admire flowers?" Enchanting entered the garden and realized what kind of place it was.
Lingfeng chuckled and confidently said, "This is a wealthy family's estate; there must be a dungeon or something. However, since the White Jade Escort Agency has people coming in and out all the time, the dungeon wouldn't be in the front yard. But the garden isn't a place for guests, so I suspect that the White Jade Escort Agency's dungeon is located within the garden!"
Enchanting thought for a moment and nodded, somewhat convinced.
In fact, Lingfeng had another reason for believing the dungeon was here. The last time, he had found the Hundred Venom Bee in the garden, so he speculated that the dungeon might also be located here.
Aside from some flowers on land, there were also lotus flowers in the water, indicating that there were quite a few ponds in this area.
"Let's search separately!" Lingfeng suggested. Seeing that there was water and knowing that Enchanting could use Water Control Technique, he felt somewhat reassured that they could defend themselves if they encountered any enemies.
Enchanting nodded and walked away.
Although this garden wasn't large, it had a complete variety of flowers. There were also various rockeries arranged in an orderly manner, which seemed quite unnatural.
Lingfeng jumped onto a hundred-year-old Mulberry Tree and looked around. Aside from that flower house, there were no other buildings in the entire garden. After the previous fire damage, that flower house was left as nothing but an empty skeleton. However, the entire garden had already been restored; only this flower house remained unrepaired, making it look quite out of place.
"Strange, my fireball was quite powerful last time; how could it have been repaired so quickly? Truly worthy of a wealthy family!" Lingfeng thought to himself as he observed that everything else had returned to its original state.
Then a thought struck him: why hadn't they repaired the flower house? Could there be an issue with this flower house?
With this in mind, Lingfeng did not linger and quickly jumped to the entrance of the flower house.
Inside the flower house, things were still in disarray; even the burnt corpses of the Hundred Venom Bees remained on the ground.
The more Lingfeng thought about it, the stranger it seemed. He quietly entered the flower house. Just as he was about to check for any mechanisms inside, there was suddenly a violent tremor around him, and then a massive iron cage fell down, enclosing Lingfeng inside.
Lingfeng found it amusing and thought to himself that he had learned Gold Manipulation, and it was a delusion to think they could trap him with it. Just as he was about to cast a Spell to unlock the iron cage, a large group of people appeared in front of him.
These individuals wore sinister smiles and wielded knives, guns, and clubs. The leaders among them were those from the State Government.
Lingfeng considered that it might be better to let them capture him intentionally; this way, he might learn the whereabouts of Bear Brute and others. He then leisurely sat down on the ground and joked, "Well, aren't you all here to welcome this Hero? Where's your leader? Afraid I'll spank him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd parted, and Ziren slowly walked forward, followed by White Phoenix Mountain and Bai Lian.
Ziren looked closely at Lingfeng and, seeing that Lingfeng was merely a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, felt disdainful. He snorted coldly and sat down on a nearby chair.
However, when Bai Lian saw Lingfeng, her eyes widened in shock. Trembling, she exclaimed, "Dad, this is the deity who saved me!"
White Phoenix Mountain was also taken aback and quickly brought over a light to look through the cage.
Lingfeng naturally exuded a hint of wickedness; having learned Spell and gained some Spiritual Energy made him even more striking. Most notably, he possessed an innate charm.
Seeing Lingfeng's extraordinary appearance and his lack of fear in front of so many people reminded White Phoenix Mountain of what had happened at Wisteria Mountain, causing him to feel a bit frightened. He concluded that Lingfeng was indeed that deity. He quickly knelt down with a thud but was about to speak when he suddenly felt a chill at the back of his neck.
Turning around, he found Ziren glaring at him.
Now, White Phoenix Mountain truly found himself in a dilemma.
He wanted to pay respects to the "deity" in front of him but was hindered by Ziren behind him. He wanted to get up but felt blocked by Lingfeng in front of him.
Lingfeng suppressed his laughter and mimicked Ziren's glare at White Phoenix Mountain. Sitting on the ground gave him an oddly inappropriate feeling.
"Deity?" Ziren said expressionlessly as he gently wiped the bat-shaped ring in his hand. Suddenly, his gaze turned sharp as he waved his hand, unleashing a powerful magical force that enveloped Lingfeng's entire body.
Lingfeng felt an intense pressure throughout his body as if his bones were about to shatter. He wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound; even breathing became laborious.
Ziren gently withdrew his hand, not even glancing at the kneeling White Phoenix Mountain, and coldly said, "Is this your deity? Can a deity really be so easily controlled by someone like me?"
Seeing this, White Phoenix Mountain quickly got up, glanced at Lingfeng, and bowed to Ziren, saying, "My lord, I was foolish and was deceived by this child!"
"Hmph!" Ziren let out a cold snort. Lingfeng's body relaxed, and he fell to the ground with a thud, the sensation he had been feeling completely vanished.
"Such powerful magic! Is this the strength of a Demon Cultivator?" Lingfeng thought to himself.
"Now, where is the Phoenix Pearl?" Ziren asked lazily without further ado.
Lingfeng would never admit it, especially since it was already confirmed that the Phoenix Pearl was the egg of the Fire Phoenix and was fated to be with him. It is known that one can only tame one spirit beast in their lifetime; if Lingfeng missed this opportunity, he might never have a spirit beast to assist him again.
He immediately lied, saying, "What Phoenix Pearl? What are you talking about?"
Ziren coldly snorted and said, "That Bear Brute threw away the Phoenix Pearl, but I can sense the lingering aura of the Phoenix Pearl on you. Do you dare say that the Phoenix Pearl is not with you?" With that, he waved his hand, and two people brought Enchanting forward.
Enchanting was brought up with an angry expression but stammered without being able to speak; it was clear she had been silenced by a spell.
Lingfeng felt immense pain for her and thought that usually this guy talks the most; now she wanted to curse but couldn't. What if she suffocated from holding it in? He quickly said, "Quickly release her mouth!"
Ziren continued to wipe his Bat Ring without even looking at Lingfeng and said, "Honestly hand over the Phoenix Pearl so that this beauty doesn't suffer because of you!"
"You sissy! Just showing off your wealth! Why are you constantly wiping that broken Bat Ring? What are you trying to prove? I have one too! Look, look!" Seeing that Ziren wouldn't even glance at him and was only focused on the Phoenix Pearl made Lingfeng furious. He then took out his Xuanji and mimicked Ziren's actions of wiping it.
Seeing Lingfeng act this way, Enchanting became quiet instead. After a moment of silence, she suddenly burst into laughter. Since her mouth couldn't make sounds normally, it resembled a trumpet as it went up and down.
A faint laughter erupted from around them as well.
Ziren, being the governor of the State Government, had never endured such humiliation in his life. He immediately exuded a killing intent as his body erupted with a purple glow.
Everyone was frightened by the purple light, and the entire garden was filled with a terrifying atmosphere.
After a moment of silence, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly erupted from the crowd.
Hearing the sound, everyone scattered, except for those from the State Government who remained standing behind Ziren.
Lingfeng focused his gaze and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
He saw that the mouths of three individuals were slowly splitting open, gradually stretching across their faces, leaving them bloodied and disfigured, with their tongues and teeth fully exposed.
Ziren lowered his head, his body trembling slightly. Suddenly, he clenched his fists, and the heads of the three individuals exploded, splattering blood everywhere.
Enchanting had never witnessed such a bloody scene; she immediately rolled her eyes and collapsed to the ground, fainting.
"Do you want to experience this feeling? But don't worry, I won't let you die so easily. Instead, I'll make your mouth crack open little by little, and then I'll tear off your scalp along with it!" At some point, Ziren had a Black Cat in his hand.
The Black Cat squinted its eyes, quietly enjoying its master's caress, remaining completely still.
Lingfeng dared not speak and took a step back, tightly covering his mouth. He thought to himself that as long as he didn't die, he couldn't hand over the Phoenix Pearl!
