Fei Fei had made up her mind. With the words she had long kept in her heart, she turned and left.
Lingfeng stared blankly at Fei Fei's back, unsure of what to say. Fei Fei was a strong girl; she understood that Lingfeng had many tasks and did not want to trouble him. She also did not want Jiao Jiao to get involved in these troubles, so she planned to bear it all alone.
"After you take your revenge, remember to go to Niujia Village. We'll meet there!" Lingfeng shouted at Fei Fei's retreating figure.
Fei Fei paused for a moment, hesitating as she stood still, wanting to turn back but fearing it would show too much concern. In the end, she silently nodded and walked away without looking back.
"Brother, where are we going next?" the All-Knowing One asked, seeing that things had been settled and inquiring about the next journey.
Lingfeng smiled and provocatively said, "Big Brother, you are the number one diviner in the Cultivation Realm. Do you really need me to tell you what to do next?"
The All-Knowing One forced a strained smile but could only follow behind Lingfeng.
Although the All-Knowing One was a diviner, he could only predict people's fortunes; how could he discern their thoughts?
Lingfeng now knew that it was May in the Cultivation Realm, which allowed him to guess that Stone Mountain in Demon Spirit Mountain was currently located in one corner of it. The best time to approach Demon Spirit Mountain would be in winter, specifically between December and February. Therefore, Lingfeng was not in a hurry to return to Spirit Sect.
Now that the Demon Relic had appeared, Spirit Sect would surely send out many people to search for it, so they would not be overly concerned about Lingfeng's whereabouts. Naturally, Lingfeng's next task was to seek out the Demon Relic.
Moreover, with a friend like the All-Knowing One by his side, finding the whereabouts of the Demon Relic would be much easier.
At this moment, dawn had broken, and Lingfeng felt an overwhelming surge of emotions. Perhaps it was because he had achieved one of his goals, which filled him with a sense of pride.
"Big Brother, tell me my next goal!" Lingfeng called out to the All-Knowing One as they walked.
The All-Knowing One had no idea that Lingfeng was actually teasing him and made a face at him instead. "I won't tell you! I won't tell you!"
In high spirits, Lingfeng couldn't help but laugh heartily. He then looked up at the sky and took a deep breath. "Big Brother, take me to Barbarian Lands with your Flying Sword!"
Wanshitong looked at Lingfeng, his playful spirit still intact, and pretended to be mysterious as he said, "Alright, guess what I'm thinking."
Lingfeng chuckled and took the opportunity to pull the dagger from Wanshitong's waist, playing with it in his hands. "You're thinking about what I'm going to do next!"
In truth, Wanshitong had been trying to figure out Lingfeng's mindset but had struggled to find the answer. He never expected that Lingfeng would actually guess his thoughts.
It wasn't difficult for Lingfeng to guess Wanshitong's thoughts because he knew that Wanshitong was accustomed to pondering a matter. By asking Wanshitong to guess his thoughts earlier, he had already laid the groundwork.
Nevertheless, they were just joking around.
Having had his thoughts guessed by Lingfeng, Wanshitong was not willing to let it go. He shouted in frustration and chased after Lingfeng, saying, "How did you guess? Teach me this divination technique!"
"Haha, big brother, it's not that I can divine; it's just knowing yourself and your enemy leads to victory in every battle!"
Wanshitong was puzzled and scratched his head in confusion.
Lingfeng couldn't help but laugh. After a moment, he returned the dagger to Wanshitong and said softly, "Big brother, this is knowledge from Strategy; you should learn more when you have time! By the way, shouldn't you take me to the Barbarian Lands now?"
Although Wanshitong didn't understand Lingfeng's words, he knew there must be a deeper meaning behind them. He tossed the dagger into the air, and a flash of light appeared as the dagger transformed into a massive Flying Sword, hovering in the air.
There was actually a faster way to reach the Barbarian Lands through the Land God's teleportation Cultivation Method. However, since Wanshitong stayed close to Lingfeng, it wasn't convenient for Lingfeng to take him to the Land God's residence. First of all, Lingfeng was already feeling guilty for impersonating Sun Wukong. If Wanshitong were to reveal his true identity due to his boisterous nature, it would lead to trouble for Lingfeng.
Additionally, coercing deities and having them under one's control was already an offense. If he took Wanshitong into the underworld without permission, it would only bring trouble upon him and be counterproductive.
Thus, for both his own sake and for Wanshitong's safety, Lingfeng decided to spend a little more time guiding Wanshitong on the Flying Sword towards the Barbarian Lands.
However, although flying with the sword would take relatively more time, Wanshitong was highly skilled in sword control and only spent two nights before arriving at the Barbarian Lands.
Barbarian Lands is considered a gathering place for Barbarians by the Cultivation Realm, referring to those who are uncivilized, seemingly simple-minded individuals with strong physiques.
For example, Man Pillar's master, Man Qing, is a typical case. However, Man Pillar is an exception; upon closer inspection, Man Pillar and Man Qing have almost no similarities. Although Man Pillar is formidable, he values unity and is not ostentatious. In contrast, Man Qing embodies the archetype of a completely Rash brute.
Barbarian Lands ranks seventh in the Cultivation Realm. Of course, the states within the Cultivation Realm are not divided based on strength but rather by geographical size.
Despite its small area, Barbarian Lands has a sparse population, making it relatively relaxed.
Moreover, there are many factions in Barbarian Lands, with the most powerful being the Barbarian Sect, which is where Man Pillar belongs. However, the sect leader, Man Qing, has already been killed by Lingfeng, and now the sect is merely being upheld by some capable elders. Regardless, it does not reflect well that the sect leader was killed by a child of varying cultivation levels.
Lingfeng feels guilty about this incident, but the circumstances at that time forced him to act as he did.
Unfamiliar with Barbarian Lands, Lingfeng had only heard of its name before and knew little about its customs and culture. Fortunately, Wan Shitong, who is well-versed in the geography of the Cultivation Realm, had traveled extensively throughout it before retreating into seclusion and thus has some understanding of the local customs in Barbarian Lands.
Upon arriving in Barbarian Lands, Wan Shitong first took Lingfeng to a uniquely charming location.
The terrain of Barbarian Lands is somewhat complex and resembles hilly areas. All the houses are made of wood, built amidst the mountains, giving them a trapezoidal field appearance.
Wan Shitong led Lingfeng into a village. Ignoring the strange looks from the people inside, he walked straight through the entrance with his head held high and chest out, heading deeper into the village.
However, Lingfeng did not feel as relaxed; the expressions and gazes of those people were too peculiar, making him feel like they regarded him as an unwelcome guest.
Noticing that Lingfeng seemed a bit anxious like a thief caught in the act, Wan Shitong whispered, "Don't mind their stares; they haven't seen outsiders for a long time, so they are just curious about you!"
"But big brother, where are you taking me?" Lingfeng quickened his pace to keep up with Wan Shitong.
Wan Shitong glanced at Lingfeng and replied, "Because what you are looking for might very well be here!"
Lingfeng was startled and quickly glanced at the All-Knowing One, then softly asked, "Do you know what I am looking for?"
"Of course!" The All-Knowing One chuckled, looked up at the sky, and casually said, "I noticed long ago that the Demon Spirit Star has fallen, so I guessed that the Demon Relic has appeared in the mortal realm. Moreover, for hundreds of years, the Demon Relic has only shown up in the Barbarian Lands. Recently, through divination, I learned that many Demon Cultivators have started heading towards the Barbarian Lands, so I figured they are all after the Demon Relic." The All-Knowing One then looked at Lingfeng and continued, "Although you are a decent fellow, you still find it hard to break free from worldly concerns. So I suspect that your intention to come to the Barbarian Lands is likely related to the Demon Relic!"
Lingfeng never expected that the All-Knowing One could guess what he was planning to do, feeling both admiration and surprise.
"Then why do you still want to help me?" Lingfeng asked in confusion.
The All-Knowing One sighed and looked at Lingfeng seriously. "Actually, I realized at first glance that you are not an ordinary person and not someone overly ambitious. Although I don't know why you are probing into the secrets of the Cultivation Realm's months, I understand that you want to save the Cultivation Realm. However, your cultivation level is not high, so to lend you a hand, I secretly left Niujia Village to find you!"
This made Lingfeng feel deeply moved while also somewhat embarrassed. After all, he had been wary of the All-Knowing One before. He initially thought of him as just a naive Demon Cultivator but did not expect him to be so insightful.
After walking a few more miles, they suddenly came upon a vast clearing. On a dirt slope stood a massive wooden house. Although it was made of wood, the overall structure resembled something forged from steel; it appeared not only grand but also gave off an impression of being indestructible.
"This is the Barbarian Sect; the current leader of the Barbarian Sect resides in this wooden palace!" The All-Knowing One said lightly as he looked at the Wooden House ahead.
"What?" Lingfeng was immediately drenched in cold sweat. He did not expect to arrive at the Barbarian Sect.
"The previous leader of the Barbarian Sect was killed by an unnamed disciple of a Demon Suppression Sect; the current leader is a junior brother of the former leader." The All-Knowing One shook his head and sighed. "Although the Barbarian Sect is the largest sect in the Barbarian Lands, unfortunately, its reputation has been ruined by the former leader!"
Lingfeng sighed inwardly and felt somewhat guilty. He thought to himself that fortunately only Man Pillar recognized him; otherwise, he might truly have no way to survive here. But recalling everyone's gazes just now made Lingfeng feel anxious; he had an unsettling feeling that they might already know about his killing of Man Qing.
