Chapter 1771: Chapter 1771: Where Did Li Feng Go?
"Not going to talk, huh?"
Sikong Yu and Ouyang Qiuhai didn’t waste any time and swung their fists directly. Although both were breathtakingly beautiful, as if they could topple nations, each casual punch carried the power of five tripods, and this was them holding back slightly.
Zhang Qiang was rough-skinned and thick-skinned, but even he couldn’t withstand the violent pounding from these two. The most crucial thing was that he didn’t dare to fight back, because even if he did, he couldn’t win.
After a moment.
Zhang Qiang was beaten to the ground, pressed under Sikong Yu’s foot: "Are you going to talk or not? If you’re still stubborn like a dead duck, huh."
"Believe it or not, I’ll strip you and hang you on the flagpole."
Zhang Qiang was instantly a broken defense. Being hung on the flagpole where the whole camp could see him would be nothing short of a shameful humiliation.
Moreover, Li Feng had given instructions before he left that if forced, his whereabouts could be revealed.
Now, it can be considered that he’s forced under such circumstances.
Zhang Qiang immediately begged for mercy: "Two esteemed ladies, I’ll talk, I’ll talk, isn’t that enough?"
"Hmph, if you had spoken earlier, it would have been over, and we wouldn’t have wasted our energy."
Ouyang Qiuhai coldly hummed: "Where is he? Where did he go? You better not tell me he deserted and ran away."
Zhang Qiang looked helpless, as if he was the one getting beaten, but he dared not argue. However, hearing Ouyang Qiuhai say this, Zhang Qiang stubbornly said, "Our Camp Master didn’t desert, he just went out."
"Hmm?"
Ouyang Qiuhai instantly looked down at Zhang Qiang: "He really took off?"
"Where did he go?"
Zhang Qiang shook his head: "I don’t know, the Camp Master just said he’s going out for three months, and after that, he’ll be back to fulfill the bet."
"Do you really not know, or are you purposely not saying?"
Ouyang Qiuhai showed a playful, mischievous smile, while cracking her slender fingers that were as fair as scallions. The next second, Ouyang Qiuhai crouched down and slammed her pink fist into the ground beside Zhang Qiang’s head.
Instantly, fine cracks appeared on the Nine Layers Stone ground, spreading like a turtle shell.
"You better think clearly before speaking, you should know what happens when you offend the two of us."
Gulp.
Zhang Qiang knew full well the hardness of Nine Layers Stone. Without the power of a hundred tripods, it couldn’t be damaged, yet Ouyang Qiuhai’s punch created cracks, showing how terrifyingly powerful it was. The punches on his body earlier could be described as gentle.
"I really don’t know. The Camp Master only told me he’s going out for three months and also asked me to cover for him as much as possible. If I can’t cover, I should reveal the truth."
"The Camp Master also said there would certainly be a lot of rumors during his departure. If we can’t bear them and voluntarily distance ourselves from him, he wouldn’t pursue it."
"I, Zhang Qiang, regardless of what happens, wouldn’t betray the Camp Master."
"Hmph, yet you still betrayed him?"
Ouyang Qiuhai coldly looked at Zhang Qiang, who swore not to betray, but Zhang Qiang said: "Before leaving, the Camp Master instructed that if Sikong Flag Master pushes for interrogation, I can reveal, otherwise, I wouldn’t disclose."
Ouyang Qiuhai raised her eyes to Sikong Yu, who nodded, indicating that Zhang Qiang probably wouldn’t dare deceive them.
"Keep Li Feng’s departure a secret, don’t spread it around, understand?"
Zhang Qiang nodded.
Sikong Yu then turned to leave, Ouyang Qiuhai followed, the two walking side by side out of the Vermilion Bird Flag Master Mansion: "Sister Yu, I think Li Feng might have realized he’s not a match for Bai Yi, so he chose to flee according to the ancient strategy."
"As for Zhang Qiang, he’s merely a pawn left behind, claiming he’ll return in three months—deceiving ghosts! In three months, can he muster a five hundred-man Personal Guard Camp?"
Ouyang Qiuhai pouted her lips, though she hadn’t met Li Feng, she had heard some stories about him, all of which were unexpectedly unique.
However, he lacks a strong background. Becoming the Flag Master of a camp ranks as an extraordinary chance. Unfortunately, had it not been for Bai Yi, Li Feng’s plans might have succeeded.
But Bai Yi’s appearance undoubtedly intercepted it. With Bai Yi’s status and background, especially as the legacy of a military god, and the heir of a noble family, when he speaks, disciples of Nine Layers Mountain strive day and night to join his Personal Guard Camp, and the fervor doesn’t wane.
In contrast, Li Feng managed to recruit a handful, but now even those are wavering. As for recruiting a Personal Guard Camp, that’s purely wishful thinking.
Yet, he boasts arrogantly, daring to accept Bai Yi’s challenge to a duel in three months based on their Personal Guard Camps.
It’s baffling why he accepted such a challenge, almost as if he’s lost his mind.
Who knows if this fellow chickened out and decided to flee overnight?
Sikong Yu raised her eyebrows lightly: "He’s not the type to desert under pressure. When he arrived at the Sixth Ring, he had nothing and no background. Facing potential oppression, he directly challenged the Eight Golden Core Zeng Family single-handedly."
"Despite the Zeng Family’s oppression and schemes failing to kill him, he emerged unscathed. Initially, I too thought he was merely arrogant."
"But being acknowledged in the Martial Strategy Hall for his commanding insight indicates he isn’t rash. He acts with deliberate planning."
Ouyang Qiuhai turned her head towards Sikong Yu: "Sister Yu, aren’t you actually taken with him?"
Sikong Yu didn’t address this, instead saying, "I had the Fengyun Pavilion investigate Li Feng, guess what they found?"
"What did they find?"
"Li Feng seemed to appear out of thin air in Ancestor Dragon City; there’s no trace of him before that."
"Isn’t he from the Lower Three Rings, where the place is mixed with all sorts, so it’s not surprising not to find his past, right?"
"Heh, indeed not. But his rapid rise compels deeper thought."
Ouyang Qiuhai’s eyes flickered as she turned to Sikong Yu: "Could he be from the outside? In recent years, people from the outside have been arriving one after another."
"Could Li Feng be one of them?"
Sikong Yu shook her head: "I asked, and it’s not the case. Fengyun Pavilion has such individuals, yet they’ve never heard of Li Feng."
"Moreover, he carries the main vein of Vermilion Bird, suggesting he might be connected to the Vermilion Bird Holy Temple."
More than two years ago, a hundred outsiders arrived. Apart from those who met unexpected or violent ends, the survivors were mostly absorbed by the various families, including the Sikong family, though they are held captive.
These outsiders are the only means for Ancestor Dragon City to understand beyond, and because they are from the outside, their foundations are excellent, allowing them to rapidly enhance their abilities in a short time, leading families to absorb them for their own use.
Sikong Yu and others captured the first group to enter the Kunlun Void Secret Realm, with Li Feng disguised under Bai Yutang’s identity, so they didn’t recognize him.
The second batch faced severe casualties due to the presence of the four major Demon Sects, so it’s uncertain how many eventually entered the Kunlun Void.
Li Feng belonged to the third batch but was scattered within Kunlun Void, encountering Lin Miaoyin from the second batch, yet hasn’t met others who arrived with him.
Considering Ancestor Dragon City’s millions of population, the chances of coincidentally meeting others are slim.
"The Vermilion Bird Holy Temple, could Li Feng be heading there to seek reinforcements?" Ouyang Qiuhai blinked, looking at Sikong Yu and asked.
