Originally, I was cursing Lingfeng for being trapped under Five Elements Mountain like a fake Sun Wukong, but little did I know he was listening behind the land. The words from the land had already reached Lingfeng's ears without missing a beat. Moreover, since Lingfeng had given him the Soul Capturing Pill, even if he thought of something detrimental to Lingfeng, no matter how far away, Lingfeng would know.
"Land, you have some nerve to speak ill of me behind my back," Lingfeng said with a half-smile, his tone neither warm nor cold. It was precisely this demeanor that made the land feel uneasy and even more frightened.
"Great Sage, how could I dare to speak ill of you? I only hope that you can ascend to Paradise soon and receive the worship of all!" The land quickly replied with flattery.
However, saying "ascend to Paradise soon" was not very pleasant either; it was a veiled way of wishing for someone to die early. Naturally, Lingfeng did not want to hear it but couldn't show too much concern. He smiled and said, "I, Land Elder, have already attained Buddhahood. Why should I ascend to Paradise again? You are clearly cursing me!"
The land never expected that the Sun Wukong before him could be so sharp-tongued. With a grin, he fell silent.
Lingfeng found it amusing to look at the land and continued, "I do not wish to make things difficult for you; I only hope you can do your job well, and your divine position will be elevated in the future."
"Yes, yes, yes! Great Sage's words are true; I will remember them!" The land hurriedly replied.
Only then did Lingfeng nod and turn to Ke Yu, saying, "Let's go!"
Ke Yu nodded, and the two returned to Spirit Sect.
Upon returning to Spirit Sect, Lingfeng felt an unexpected sense of relaxation. Although he played the role of an undercover agent and was here to ensure the stability of the Cultivation Realm, there were people in Spirit Sect whom he liked.
Once back at Spirit Sect, the first person Lingfeng wanted to see was naturally the Assassin Hall Master.
Pushing open the door to the Assassin Hall Master, many eyes turned directly toward Lingfeng.
"Five Elements, you're back!" In contrast, Lingfeng was quite popular. As soon as the disciples of the Assassination Hall saw him, they rushed over eagerly to greet him.
Lingfeng nodded at everyone and then felt like someone was missing. After looking around, he realized that the senior brother of the Assassination Hall, Kehua, was not there. He curiously asked, "Where is senior brother?"
One of the disciples replied, "The Senior Brother has gone to receive higher training and will not be back for a while!"
Whether it is the Demon Cultivation Hall, the Assassination Hall, or the Cultivation Hall, once certain requirements are met, one can undergo advanced training, such as hunting spirit beasts in the wild or entering specific formations to further enhance their cultivation. After completing these trainings, they can directly accept missions from the Spirit Sect and participate in various activities.
Lingfeng nodded slightly, then bid farewell to his fellow disciples and headed towards the fourth floor.
He knocked on the door of the Assassin Hall Master and stood quietly at the entrance, waiting for the summons. However, after waiting for a while with no response, Lingfeng couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Could it be that the Assassin Hall Master is cultivating?" Lingfeng murmured to himself. But the disciples had not mentioned this to him; could there be something else going on?
Thinking of this, Lingfeng gently pushed the wooden door, which creaked open without being locked.
Inside, there was no spiritual fire; the room was pitch dark, and he could not sense anyone's presence.
Lingfeng stepped inside, and just as his foot crossed the threshold, the door creaked shut behind him.
"Is the Assassin Hall Master going to test me again?" With this thought, Lingfeng couldn't help but smile. He then lightly snapped his fingers, producing a spark that transformed into a fireball resting on his fingertip.
"Assassin Hall Master, I have returned!" Lingfeng said softly to the dark room.
However, it was not the Assassin Hall Master who responded but a gentle breeze. Though it was a light wind, it seemed to carry a spell with it, extinguishing the fireball at Lingfeng's fingertip.
Since the Assassin Hall Master chose to test Lingfeng's abilities in darkness, how could he allow Lingfeng to ignite a flame?
Lingfeng took a step forward into the room and then gently closed his eyes, sensing the movements around him.
Before long, an aura stirred slightly as a powerful object flew toward Lingfeng.
Perhaps Lingfeng's cultivation had unknowingly improved significantly, as this time he easily sensed the attack from Assassin Hall Master.
Lingfeng smiled lightly, then spread his legs and soared upward, performing a somersault to leap over the object. A muffled sound followed from behind Lingfeng.
The room returned to calm once again. Lingfeng focused on sensing the changes in the magnetic field within the room, noticing that it was constantly shifting positions, clearly indicating that Assassin Hall Master was moving around.
However, the speed of the magnetic field's changes was not very fast, and Lingfeng could clearly feel it. Just as Assassin Hall Master stopped to prepare for another throw of hidden weapons, Lingfeng suddenly lunged forward and embraced a fragrant body in his arms.
Assassin Hall Master's chest heaved violently, a sweet scent wafting from her nostrils, appearing quite excited.
"How about it? Has my cultivation improved?" Lingfeng held Assassin Hall Master tightly and whispered.
After a moment, Assassin Hall Master gently smiled and wrapped her arms around Lingfeng's waist, resting her head on his shoulder like a tamed sheep.
"Your cultivation has indeed progressed, and you've matured a bit!" Assassin Hall Master said softly.
In the darkness, Lingfeng grinned and then waved his hand lightly. A spark erupted from the wall, igniting all the torches and illuminating the previously pitch-black room.
Assassin Hall Master's face gradually became clearer, revealing a blush; she no longer exuded that domineering aura but instead resembled a bride-to-be.
Lingfeng gently caressed Assassin Hall Master's cheek, momentarily captivated by her enchanting beauty, forgetting his vow to Enchanting.
"When did you come back? Have you seen Master of the Demon Cult?" Assassin Hall Master asked.
Lingfeng didn't want to engage in much conversation; he simply wished to hold Assassin Hall Master quietly and only responded with a soft "mm."
However, Assassin Hall Master pushed Lingfeng away with an annoyed expression and said, "Can't you come see me first? Do you really think that old man is more important than me in your heart?"
Lingfeng felt somewhat at a loss due to the strange atmosphere created by the Assassin Hall Master. After listening to her words, he realized that she was jealous. Lingfeng quickly stepped forward with a smile, saying, "How could that be? I just got back and haven't even had the chance to enter the Demon Cultivation Hall! Look, I came to find you right after returning!"
"Really?" the Assassin Hall Master questioned.
Lingfeng nodded repeatedly, raising his right hand and swearing, "I, Lingfeng, vow that if I dare to deceive this beautiful lady before me, let me..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" the Assassin Hall Master interrupted him, sounding somewhat impatient. "Don't give me that routine; you men just use sweet talk to charm women!" She then glanced toward the door and smiled, "Hurry up and go see the Master of the Demon Cult; he has been worried since you've been gone for so long!"
Lingfeng nodded, feeling pleased in his heart as he thought, "I didn't expect to be so well-liked; not only do women welcome me, but even the stubborn old fossil thinks highly of me!"
After spending some time with the Assassin Hall Master, Lingfeng finally left the Assassination Hall and arrived at the Demon Cultivation Hall.
The disciples of the Demon Cultivation Hall were practicing under Ke Fei's supervision, but Ke Zhan was nowhere to be seen. It was clear that Ke Zhan had also gone for advanced training.
Everyone looked at Lingfeng with some surprise before returning to their previous expressions, as if Lingfeng was just a strange breeze that had blown through and left nothing behind.
Lingfeng shook his head; it seemed these people were not very friendly towards him.
However, Lingfeng felt reassured as Major Servant and the other servants were quite enthusiastic. They looked at Lingfeng with broad smiles, which made him feel immensely happy.
Major Servant pointed upstairs with his chin, indicating for Lingfeng to go meet the Master of the Demon Cult.
Lingfeng nodded and then went up to the fourth floor of the Demon Cultivation Hall.
He did not knock but directly pushed open the door and walked in. He knew that at this time, the Master of the Demon Cult would likely be meditating on cultivation; even if Lingfeng knocked, he might not respond.
Sure enough, the Master of the Demon Cult was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, surrounded by two swirling Purple Auras. His cultivation level seemed to have improved significantly.
Lingfeng was well aware of the temperament of the Master of the Demon Cult. Even though he knew that Lingfeng had arrived, the Master might not pay him any attention during his cultivation. Thus, Lingfeng sat down on a cushion and closed his eyes to cultivate. Before long, he had already entered a meditative state.
After some time, Lingfeng felt a surge of energy within him, and the fatigue in his body dissipated. He gently opened his eyes and was greeted by the aroma of food. In front of him, the Master of the Demon Cult was flipping through an old book.
"Master of the Demon Cult!" Lingfeng quickly stood up and bowed slightly, feeling a bit rude.
The Master of the Demon Cult let out a light hum and casually flipped through the book, seemingly not focused on it at all. He set the book aside and looked at Lingfeng, asking, "How has your cultivation progressed during this time spent training outside?"
"I dare not speak recklessly; I ask for your guidance, Master of the Demon Cult!" Lingfeng replied respectfully.
The Master was somewhat surprised by Lingfeng's transformation. The old Lingfeng had been carefree and unruly, resembling a rogue. He never expected him to become so humble now.
The Assassin Hall Master nodded and said expressionlessly, "Show me your Fire Control Technique."
Lingfeng felt a surge of joy, thinking that his Fire Control Technique had improved significantly. It was just the right opportunity to show off. Without hesitation, he snapped his fingers and released a Fire Phoenix.
The Assassin Hall Master was taken aback for a moment as he watched the Fire Phoenix soaring before him. A smile appeared on his previously indifferent face, seemingly pleased with Lingfeng's cultivation progress.
