Chapter 1755: Chapter 942: Tiger Hunt
The Princess didn’t expect Mu Yu’s evaluation of Lin Feng to be the same as hers, so the two shared a knowing smile.
Chapter 394:
Lin Feng left the other courtyard and parted ways with the plump uncle.
Before leaving, Lin Feng instructed the plump uncle, "The merger of the Six Great Sects still requires careful consideration. I think the Princess could be invited to take on the role of the Alliance Hierarch, allowing me to focus on relocating the false Emperor."
The plump uncle took Lin Feng’s words to heart and replied, "Rest assured, I will consider it seriously at the time."
In fact, the plump uncle had considered letting the Princess take on the role of Alliance Hierarch, but this would certainly expose the Princess’s identity as the head of the Heaven Alliance, leading the false Emperor to target her, and by then, it would be too late.
If the Princess’s identity isn’t revealed, then those unaware within the Six Great Sects naturally wouldn’t accept a Court Princess as their Alliance Hierarch.
Therefore, after careful thought, the plump uncle decided that letting the Princess be the Alliance Hierarch was absolutely out of the question.
However, Lin Feng now bore the burden of saving the Court, and indeed having him manage the Six Great Sects was quite inappropriate.
The plump uncle needed to deliberate thoroughly, so he didn’t express his thoughts to Lin Feng at this moment.
After bidding Lin Feng farewell, the Princess’s guard gave each of them a top-grade Spiritual Horse. The horse moved swiftly, so Lin Feng returned to his inn without delay.
Lin Feng returned to the inn and went to the girl’s room, saying, "I need to attend to an urgent matter. It would be inconvenient to bring you along, so why don’t you wait here for me? I’ll be back in half a month."
The girl was dumbstruck, contemplating whether Lin Feng would leave her behind, hence his remark.
Seeing her somewhat startled expression, Lin Feng hastily assured the girl, "Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you. When I return, I’ll take you back to Peace City."
Looking at Lin Feng’s resolute expression, the girl finally relaxed.
After settling the girl, Lin Feng promptly set out, riding his Spiritual Horse to the outskirts of Biyao City as dusk began to fall. The winter snowstorm was formidable; even though Lin Feng had restored his Four Spirits Seal strength, he dared not face the cold directly, as it would deplete his energy swiftly.
The saying goes, "Sharpening the axe won’t delay the cutting of wood," so Lin Feng decided it was best to rest first.
Lin Feng arrived at a run-down temple, where there was a damaged statue, some straw, and a dilapidated door that could barely shield him from the winter snow.
He laid down some firewood and used a spell to ignite the surroundings, warming up the place.
Lin Feng lay beside the fire, covered with a sheet he found in the Qiankun Bag, seemingly provided by the Princess.
By midnight, the areas surrounding the temple had become quite dark, with white snowflakes drifting around.
Every now and then, numerous wild animals began howling; today was no exception.
A wild wolf started howling, and the lanterns around began flickering incessantly. Though Lin Feng was asleep, his many hardships trained him to remain alert.
He awoke to the wolf’s howl, not because he feared wolves but because the wolf’s howl sounded remarkably odd.
Having raised many spiritual pets over the years, Lin Feng was familiar with communication among animals and Spiritual Beasts. The earlier wolf howl was filled with ghostly hues, unlike the bold and carefree voice of a mountain wolf in the wild.
Based on these ghostly tones alone, Lin Feng could conclude that supernatural activity had occurred nearby.
The term ’supernatural activity’ was something Lin Feng heard from local elders while rebuilding Peace City; it refers to entities from the Underworld coming to the earthly world. Animals, who are keenly aware of Yin and Yang, often howl ghostly wails to alert their companions of unclean presences.
Hua Shengmi nervously said to Lin Feng, "Kid Lin, ghosts terrify me the most; let’s stay here and not go anywhere."
Lin Feng mocked Hua Shengmi, "I thought you feared nothing; who knew there’s something in the world you’re afraid of."
Feeling somewhat embarrassed by Lin Feng’s remark, Hua Shengmi fell silent.
As the two spoke, Lin Feng sensed an eerie presence, as if there truly was a ghost.
This presence directly infiltrated the run-down temple, causing Lin Feng’s heart to skip a beat.
"Could it be the ghosts are heading to the temple? Let’s hide for now," Lin Feng suggested to Hua Shengmi.
Hua Shengmi nodded repeatedly to Lin Feng’s suggestion, recalling the numerous powerful ghosts in the Peace City’s forest.
Lin Feng had no choice but to proceed carefully, deciding to wait and see what it actually was before reacting.
Lin Feng hid beneath the Shrine behind the statue, using the curtain to observe the happenings outside.
Just then, a turquoise haze started seeping through the door, which grew thicker as the haze intensified, revealing men and women entering through the doorway, looking like villagers.
Yet, from their faces, it was evident that their eyes glowed green and their demeanor was incredibly ghostly and terrifying.
