Wanshitong was very casual, as if the big matter in Lingfeng's heart was nothing at all, easily solvable.
"That's right," Lingfeng's previously gloomy face suddenly relaxed, pulling Wanshitong's arm and exclaiming, "I almost forgot, you are the number one diviner in the Cultivation Realm! Can you help me find out where my two friends are?"
Wanshitong nodded and asked, "Do you have anything belonging to those two friends of yours?"
Although Lingfeng didn't know what Wanshitong was going to do, he thought for a moment and hurriedly took out a pair of earplugs from his pocket, which were the Millennium Oak Earplugs given to him by Fei Fei.
"This is a gift from my friend. Can you use this?" Lingfeng handed the oak earplugs to Wanshitong and asked eagerly.
"As long as it's something of theirs, it will do!" Wanshitong nodded. He then made a gesture with his fingers, placed the oak earplugs in the center of his palm, and closed his eyes.
After a moment of silence, a flash of spiritual light appeared in Wanshitong's hand. He slowly began to speak, "So your two friends are female!"
Lingfeng merely nodded slightly but did not dare to speak up, fearing he would disturb Wanshitong's divination.
"Yes, indeed!" Wanshitong continued speaking to himself. After a while, he smacked his lips and said inexplicably, "Not bad, not bad. Both girls are quite attractive; you really have good fortune with women!"
Lingfeng secretly clicked his tongue, wanting to interject several times but not daring to do so.
"These two ladies are with a man whose half face is burned; he is filled with anger!" Wanshitong added.
Lingfeng was secretly astonished. He saw that Wanshitong had his eyes closed and didn't expect him to possess such abilities; truly worthy of being the number one diviner in the Cultivation Realm!
After a while, Wanshitong slowly opened his eyes, looked at Lingfeng, and murmured, "They are on the road; the two girls have their mouths covered and look very anxious!"
Lingfeng nodded, thinking that Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao would use Demonic Melody. If their mouths weren't covered, they could easily be enchanted. He hurriedly asked, "Big brother, where are they now? Quickly take me to find them!"
"How hard can that be!" With that, Wanshitong took out a dagger from his waist and threw it into the air. The dagger suddenly grew large and began to hover in midair.
Lingfeng was astonished and couldn't close his mouth. The dagger didn't look extraordinary at first glance but turned out to be a Flying Sword.
Lingfeng jumped onto the Flying Sword with Wanshitong and hurriedly headed towards the direction of Fei Fei and the others.
"Big brother, what kind of treasure is this dagger? How can it also be used as a Flying Sword?" As the Flying Sword sped through the air, they quickly flew far away.
The All-Knowing smiled proudly and tilted his head, saying, "This is a high-quality dagger, but after refining, it can actually be used as a Flying Sword. This surprised me!"
Lingfeng nodded and looked ahead.
The night had already faded, and the eastern sky was showing signs of dawn; it was clearly about to get bright.
After flying for a short while, they saw three people walking on the road not far away—it was Fei Fei and her companions.
Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao were being forced to move forward by a man, struggling but unable to break free.
"Big Brother, they are over there!" Lingfeng quickly pointed at Fei Fei and her companions, speaking to the All-Knowing.
The All-Knowing responded with an acknowledgment, then steered the Flying Sword down towards Fei Fei and her companions, shouting, "Bold rogue, return my siblings at once!"
The three heard the All-Knowing's shout and looked up in unison. They saw the All-Knowing and Lingfeng riding the Flying Sword, their momentum overwhelming, leaving them momentarily stunned.
Before the Flying Sword landed, Lingfeng jumped off and landed in front of the man with great disdain, saying, "I have already spared your life; why must you persist in forcing them? Why harm the innocent lives at Mage's Inn?"
The man sneered twice and glared at Lingfeng, saying, "What do you mean by sparing my life? Don't forget that Tang Ru is not you; how could my brothers have died so tragically? Although that wild ghost did not kill you, I will avenge my brothers even if it costs me my life!" With that, he pushed Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao aside and conjured a Purple Longsword, attacking Lingfeng without hesitation.
Seeing his loyalty to his fallen brothers and having no intention of killing him, Lingfeng merely dodged without retaliating.
After several exchanges, the man had not harmed Lingfeng in the slightest.
"Why aren't you fighting back?" The man paused his attack but remained in position as he asked.
At this moment, the All-Knowing also retrieved the Flying Sword and ran to Lingfeng's side, shouting, "Brother, if you can't defeat him, let me help you out!"
Lingfeng quickly waved his hand and instructed, "Big Brother, help me rescue my two friends; I will handle things here!"
The All-Knowing hesitated for a moment but had no other choice. He ran over to Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao and untied their ropes.
"I see your loyalty; I know you are a good person. While I can't claim to be a good person myself, I am not one to kill innocents indiscriminately," Lingfeng said to the man after confirming that Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao were safe.
The man was taken aback for a moment, but then his eyes widened, and he coldly snorted, "Stop pretending to be compassionate. If you truly had good intentions, how could you see us in peril and not come to our rescue?"
Lingfeng was naturally at a loss for words and could only silently lament. At that time, Lingfeng had been taken away by Hezi, and it was only after they left the town that he suddenly heard the sound of explosions. Even if Lingfeng wanted to go back to save people, it would probably be too late.
Seeing Lingfeng silent, the man assumed Lingfeng felt guilty and sneered twice, "Since you have nothing to say, let's duel. If I die, you can go free; if you can't kill me, then you must pay with your life for my brothers!" With that, the momentum of the long sword intensified. He swung it a few times, and several streams of Spiritual Energy flew through the air, forming an impenetrable net that trapped Lingfeng inside.
Lingfeng knew this man meant business, but if he did not accept the attack, he feared he could not dispel the man's resentment. So he closed his eyes and braced himself for the incoming assault.
However, a gust of wind suddenly swept through, causing the sword energy that trapped Lingfeng to vanish without a trace.
The man was stunned and looked back at Lingfeng in surprise.
He saw Wanshitong holding a dagger and grinning as he said, "Your cultivation level is less than one-tenth of mine. That move was indeed fierce against my brother, but it was like throwing an egg against a rock when it comes to me!"
"Who are you?" The man asked hurriedly upon seeing Wanshitong effortlessly break his sword formation.
Wanshitong chuckled and said, "I am Wanshitong, the number one diviner in the Cultivation Realm!"
The man was taken aback again and took a while to regain his composure as complex emotions flickered in his eyes.
"Child, what's wrong? Did my title scare you?" Wanshitong waved his hand as if trying to reassure a child. "Don't be afraid; I'm a good person!"
Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao were both astonished; they never expected that the person before them was Wanshitong. They were even more surprised by his comical behavior.
"Senior, please allow me to pay my respects!" The man suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Wanshitong.
Wanshitong quickly stepped forward to help him up and smiled, "Listen well; I despise being called 'senior.' But since you harbor resentment in your heart, I won't hold it against you."
Although the man had never seen Wanshitong's true face, he knew of Wanshitong's eccentric nature and unpredictable behavior. He stood up.
"Child, heed my advice. I know my brother's temperament well. Although we are all from Demon Cultivation, we are not those who bully others with power. The deaths of your brothers must have some other hidden circumstances!" Wanshitong said.
Upon hearing this from Wanshitong, the man's eyes filled with tears. First of all, since Lingfeng was Wanshitong's brother, there was no way for him to take revenge. Secondly, he also knew that his main enemies were Hezi and their group; however, due to his low cultivation level, he had no means to seek vengeance.
"Brother Zhi, I know you harbor resentment towards me, but you have indeed misunderstood. At that time, Hezi brought me back to He Zhuang with the intention of recruiting me, but as a disciple of the Spirit Sect, how could I possibly infiltrate another sect? Moreover, I was truly unaware of the destruction of Mage's Inn!" Lingfeng stepped forward to explain as he noticed the person's mood had softened somewhat.
The person glanced at Lingfeng, half-convinced, but his emotions had already calmed down a bit.
"Young man, what is your name?" The knowledgeable one seemed quite interested in the young man before him and asked softly.
The young man slightly bowed and clasped his fists, saying, "I am Long, a junior who has learned some Demon Cultivation spells. I intended to engage in capturing spirit beasts with my brothers, but unexpectedly fell into this misfortune!"
The knowledgeable one nodded and then sighed lightly, seemingly feeling pity for Long's plight.
"I didn't expect to meet you today..." The knowledgeable one paused and quickly added, "I didn't expect to meet you, Brother. It is truly a stroke of luck for me!"
The knowledgeable one then laughed heartily and patted Long on the shoulder, saying, "I admire talented individuals. Since you have managed to self-study Demon Cultivation spells, it shows your intelligence. Such people are most likely to understand the mysteries of divination. If you do not mind, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Upon hearing these words, Long was overjoyed, as if he were dreaming. He could only smile in astonishment and delight for a while before hurriedly kneeling on the ground and saying, "Master, please accept my bow!"
Although divination techniques are not considered part of Demon Cultivation, they allow one to foresee fortunes and misfortunes. Furthermore, in addition to divination techniques, one can also practice Demon Cultivation, which is akin to killing two birds with one stone.
The knowledgeable one is renowned in the Cultivation Realm not only because he is the foremost diviner but also because he is a Demon Cultivator. To become his disciple and receive his true teachings is a long-held aspiration for many novice Demon Cultivators.
