C35 Eerie Situation
2"Master, why are you here?" Hearing the old man's voice, Soong Yunloong immediately turned around and greeted him with great respect.
The person who came was none other than the Mansion Lord of the State Duke's Mansion and Soong Yunloong's master — Wei Yangfeng!
"This old man just came out of seclusion and saw that His Highness is so troubled. Could it be because of the matter regarding the personal prince?"
"Sigh ~" Soong Yunloong let out a sigh and then said helplessly, "Master, you should have heard it too. The killers I sent were all taken care of, and Lin Feng seemed to be unharmed."
"Oh? Wasn't the prince born to be a trash? Could it be that he has an expert by his side? "
"Master, you were in closed door cultivation a few days ago, so you don't know what kind of miraculous medicine Lin Feng ate. His cultivation grew extremely fast and he already has the strength of the sixth stage of the Sky Origin Stage!"
"Sixth level of the Sky Origin Stage?" Wei Yangfeng's tone was filled with surprise.
That was why he recovered in an instant and thought of another problem, "That's not right, I personally cultivated Wu Yue, his strength should be at the peak of the seventh stage, furthermore he had many subordinates with him, how could he not be able to kill a person at the sixth stage of the Sky Origin Stage?"
Soong Yunloong, who was always in a rage, thought of this question when he was reminded. It shouldn't have been Wu Yue's death that caused this!
"Are you sure that only Lu Hu is with him?"
"I'm sure. In order to avoid any mistakes, I even let Wu Yue lead the brothers and follow them for a few days before making a move." Soong Yunloong nodded and confirmed seriously.
"If there is someone with a high cultivation protecting Lin Feng, with the strength of Wu Yue and the rest, they might not be able to detect it." Wei Yangfeng thought of another possibility.
"Lin Feng is in the West Qin, and the only one who can help him is Soong Yunling. Old Master Chen is probably the only one with that kind of ability, but that old guy has been monitoring me and didn't have the chance to save Lin Feng."
"That's strange, could it be that when Lin Feng came from Nanchu, he brought along some Spiritual Treasure?"
"Probably not. Although Lin Feng is Sixth Prince, his position is comparable to a servant. To send him over for marriage is already considered abandoning his son. Why would he give him a Spiritual Treasure?"
… ….
As the possibilities were overturned one by one, the Master and disciple could only frown in contemplation, but could not find any answer.
"Report —!"
Just as the master and disciple duo was at a loss for words, someone suddenly ran into the hall.
Just as Soong Yunloong was getting annoyed, his train of thoughts was interrupted again. He immediately scolded angrily, "Don't you have eyes? Didn't you see that Duke Wei and I were discussing important matters? What can't we report after we've finished discussing it? "
"No worries, let's first take a break. For now, let's hear what he has to report."
"Get up and tell me about it!" Soong Yunloong, who was already prepared to kick someone out, gave his orders after hearing Wei Yangfeng's words.
"Here!" He was scolded for no reason. When this person stood up to report, he was already trembling with fear. "Reporting to Your Highness, there's someone outside the hall who claims to be Manager Wu's subordinate seeking an audience."
When those words were said, Soong Yunloong and Wei Yangfeng were both shocked. They then looked at each other.
"Quick, let him in!"
Just when he was worried that this matter wouldn't explain it properly, he didn't expect it to happen so soon. Soong Yunloong immediately instructed the messenger.
Not long after Ye Zichen took the password out, a person wearing night clothes walked in while dragging his heavily injured body.
Arriving at the hall, he knelt down with a "plop" and said in a weak voice, "Your Highness! "Greetings, Duke of Wei!"
"Quickly tell me what happened to you guys. How come you didn't kill Lin Feng?!" Suddenly, someone came to answer the question. Soong Yunloong directly squatted down to grab his shoulders and asked excitedly.
"Your Highness, the information you have given us is incorrect. Lin Feng is not at the sixth level of Sky Origin Stage at all!" Recalling the situation back then, that person's eyes were filled with fear, "Judging from Lin Feng's strength when he attacked us, he already possesses quasi-Qi Moving Stage strength, and is even a lot stronger than your highness!"
"What!?"
After hearing the report, Master and disciple shouted at the same time. Even their expressions seemed to have been carved out of the same mold.
"How is this possible? I have met Lin Feng, his strength is definitely at the sixth stage of the Sky Origin Stage, there is no mistake! " Soong Yunloong expressed his disbelief.
It wasn't that Lin Feng's strength was understood by hearsay, but it was personally confirmed by him. How could there be any mistakes?
"Some people can hide their cultivation after learning certain spiritual techniques. Lin Feng might have that kind of spiritual technique!" Wei Yangfeng's train of thought was much clearer. After a brief moment of shock, he immediately thought of the reason.
"Master, do you also think that Lin Feng really has the strength of quasi-Qi Moving Stage?" Soong Yunloong couldn't believe that Wei Yangfeng would say that.
Soong Yunloong naturally had such doubts. As a favored son of heaven, how could he admit that a legendary good-for-nothing prince could catch up to him in such a short period of time?
"Other than that, there's no other reason that can explain why Wu Yue and the rest failed." Of course he understood his own disciple, Wei Yangfeng. Although he was unwilling, he still told him about the situation.
Wu Yue had indeed been killed, and the evidence had to be related. With the witness and evidence present, it was impossible for Soong Yunloong to not believe it even if he wanted to.
After a moment of silence, he nodded his head in disappointment. Then, he ordered the kneeling black clothed man, "I understand. You should go and heal your injuries first."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After the black-clothed man thanked him, he stood up and prepared to leave. However, just as he turned around, an arrow of air shot over and pierced through his body.
The poor black-clothed man didn't make any sound and just lay on the ground motionlessly.
"Master, why did you …"
Soong Yunloong looked at Wei Yangfeng, who was holding up his hand, and was about to ask something when he was interrupted by the latter.
"Your Highness, it seems like you have forgotten all about the things I taught you previously. Remember!" If we do not raise useless people, then this person's meridians will be broken, and his power will be lost. What's the use in keeping him? "
"But at least he sold his life for me! It might not be appropriate to just kill him like this. "
"Humph!" The first step of the assassination was to fail, and the second step was to escape. This kind of person, your highness, has the merciful heart of a woman. How can he stand alone and become the ruler of a nation? "
"This …" Listening to Wei Yangfeng's lecture, Soong Yunloong's expression was a little struggling, but a moment later, he lowered his head in guilt, "Master is right, I will not do this again."
"Un, to correct one's mistakes, it is best not to say too much. To achieve great things, one must be decisive! To be able to do this to oneself, you are even less afraid of dealing with your enemies. " Wei Yangfeng nodded his head, and his tone began to soften.
After hearing Wei Yangfeng's teachings, Soong Yunloong asked again, "But Master, what should we do with Lin Feng now? "If we don't get rid of him, we won't have a chance to deal with Soong Yunling!"
"Your Highness, when this old man came, didn't I already tell you that we still have another move?"
"Master, you mean …"
"Hehe, this old man has asked your highness to make those preparations, it's not for show. Although the assassination failed, he still has to go to Donglin City."
"I'm afraid that the brat is the same as you, Master. Although he was heavily injured, he can still return! "When that happens, our situation will be even more disadvantageous."
"Your Highness, don't worry. Lin Feng won't come back!" On the way to Donglin City, he will definitely die! "
Wei Yangfeng did not seem to be worried at all by this situation. At this moment, he was full of confidence as he promised Soong Yunloong.
"Achoo!"
Lin Feng suddenly sneezed as he walked.
"Brother Lin, are you alright?"
Lu Hu, who was walking at the side, couldn't help but to ask in concern.
"I'm fine. It's probably because I've been out for a few days and caught a cold." Lin Feng waved his hand and explained.
Chill? As he savored Lin Feng's words, Lu Hu smiled bitterly.
This kind of situation would happen to ordinary people. Not to mention Lin Feng, even with Lu Hu's current cultivation, he wouldn't be affected by it.
"Brother Lin always caught me off guard when he was joking."
"Not bad. I can already react so quickly now. I have made great progress!" Lin Feng didn't care about Lu Hu's complaints and even praised them.
With a hollow laugh, Lu Hu continued, "Speaking of Brother Lin, I feel like we were really tricked by that brat? We've been walking in this Nannu Mountain Range for quite a few days now, and we haven't even seen a single person! "
"Brother Lu thinks that we've been deceived?"
"Of course, according to what that boy said, since the Nanchu wants to seal the news, then it must be because of something here! "How can you not see me for days?"
"I don't think so. Brother Lu, think about it, what made Nannu Mountain Range famous throughout the world?"
"That must be because the place is remote and dangerous …" Lu Hu immediately replied, and as he said it, his eyes suddenly flashed.
"Brother Lu, you should understand now. We've been walking for a few days, where did we encounter any danger?"
"Indeed, not to mention human figures, even Spirit Beast could not be seen."
"This was originally the Spirit Beast's habitat, but now that they have disappeared for no reason, it is definitely not a natural phenomenon. The only explanation for this is that there has been artificial interference here!" Lin Feng nodded and started to guess.
"But we've been walking for several days. With our speed, we're probably about to leave this mountain range. How could we not see him?"
"I'm afraid if we leave now, we won't be able to leave even in the next life." Lin Feng smiled and suddenly walked up and took off a piece of cloth from the tree.
"Isn't this the one you tied before, Brother Lin? We got lost! " Upon seeing the cloth, Lu Hu came to a realization.
"It's not that we're lost, it's probably someone who doesn't want us to pass."
"Brother Lin's meaning is …"
"Look around. This sort of illusion array usually has an eye. Once we find it, we'll be able to enter." Lin Feng gave a command and then began to act.
