Chapter 1020: Crimson Lotus Inferno

Of course, Lin Feng, who is far away in the Ancient Holy City now, naturally does not know about Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying's conversation.

At this moment, after a night's rest, when the warm sunlight streamed through the window into the quiet room, he slowly opened his eyes, sensing something.

Immediately afterward, Lin Feng rose from the bed and stretched his body.

After a quick wash, he pushed the door open, called a strong member of the Ancient Dragon Clan, and the two of them left, heading to the open area ahead.

Now, this vast manor is already filled with numerous strong individuals from all directions.

Moreover, these strong individuals not only possess formidable personal power, but also have substantial forces behind them.

Therefore, when these figures meet, it naturally becomes quite lively.

Of course, this liveliness refers to the bustle on the arena dedicated to contests.

After all, many of these factions have long harbored mutual dislike.

Now that such a perfect opportunity has arisen, some factions that consider themselves advantaged naturally think of defeating their old rivals in front of a large audience, humiliating them here.

When Lin Feng and the other person leisurely walked through the manor and reached the activity area in the front half of the estate.

They saw, not far from the manor's main gate, a huge Shi Tai.

At that moment, battle Qi roared on the Shi Tai, and two silhouettes fought each other like lightning.

The spectacular fight caused the surrounding crowd to erupt repeatedly with cheers.

Seeing the two Dou Zong Pinnacle Level youths locked in an intense duel on the Shi Tai, Lin Feng let out a light laugh and immediately scanned the surroundings.

Then his gaze fixed on a spacious tavern pavilion.

The tavern was sizable, not far from the Shi Tai, and offered an excellent view.

It was clearly constructed by people of the Ancient Dragon Clan to give guests a better view of the fight on the Shi Tai.

Seeing the tavern, Lin Feng turned to the side and said, "Senior, why don't we go inside and have a seat?"

"Alright, I'm also taking the chance to relax. After spending thousands of years in that void space, seeing such a lively scene now really tickles my heart."

Speaking that, the Ancient Dragon Clan strongman immediately, like a child, hurried excitedly toward the tavern.

Lin Feng, seeing this, helplessly shook his head and then followed closely.

"Senior, why are you so interested in the Dou Zong Level youths fighting down there?"

Arriving at a window‑side spot on the third floor of the tavern, after the maid who brought tea and wine left, Lin Feng immediately turned his head, looked at the Ancient Dragon Clan strongman across from him who was watching the fight below with great interest, and said with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

Upon hearing that, the latter immediately retorted irritably, "You who watch every day naturally think it's nothing. But for us beings who reside deep within the void, such a bustling scene is a rare sight; how could I not be interested?"

While speaking, he wore an expression as if a well‑fed man could not understand a hungry man's hunger.

"Fine."

Hearing the former's words, Lin Feng helplessly spread his hands and immediately looked again at the Shi Tai below.

"Master, master, Xiao Ling has smelled many kinds of exotic fire in this tavern; let's go catch them all and eat them!"

However, just after Lin Feng glanced at the Shi Tai below, Xiao Ling's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

After speaking, Xiao Ling impatiently pointed out, "Master, on the floor opposite your left side there are six exotic flames. On the right side there is a single, extremely powerful exotic flame; though it's weaker than me, it must be very delicious!"

Hearing that, Lin Feng immediately turned his gaze to the left side of the opposite loft.

Then, among the crowd, he spotted several familiar figures.

"Xiao Yan, Yao Chen, and Qing Xiao have indeed arrived."

He murmured softly as he looked at those familiar silhouettes.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Feng quickly lost interest in the person ahead.

Then his gaze shifted to the right side that Xiao Ling had mentioned.

The loft on that side was overall much more secluded and considerably quieter than the other areas.

At the same time, Lin Feng's eyes also focused on the four figures seated around a small square table.

The four, three men and one woman, each bore a burning flame mark on their foreheads.

Looking up, the mark resembled real flame, giving a scorching impression.

Of course, Lin Feng's gaze was mainly fixed on the woman among the four.

The woman wore a light pink dress, and her cheeks below her eyes were veiled by a sheer veil.

Even so, the outline visible through the veil made it clear that the cheek beneath it must be exceedingly beautiful.

In her bright eyes there was not the slightest ripple, as if everything failed to pique her interest.

"Master, it's that girl; the exotic fire within her is surely very delicious. And master, don't you like to put it into those lady owners? I think that woman looks fine; later, shall we capture her—I'll eat the exotic fire, and give the woman to you to have fun with."

Looking at the woman in the distance, Xiao Ling's youthful face was full of drooling desire.

As she spoke, the blazing look in her eyes could not be concealed.

"Cough cough~"

Hearing the former's crisp childlike voice utter such terrible words, Lin Feng couldn't help but cough a few times.

The little brat's crazy plan truly left him stunned.

If he really did that, not to mention other consequences, even the several wives at home would, upon learning, immediately come to settle the score!

Thinking of that outcome, Lin Feng's mouth twitched wildly, and he grumbled in his mind, "Xiao Ling, stop using that mouth that can melt refined steel in an instant to speak such cold words. Also, when I create people in the future, you better not sneak a peek!"

"Huh?"

Hearing that, Xiao Ling immediately tilted her head, her face full of confusion.

Then she silently speculated, "Could it be that I didn't contribute any woman, so master is now dissatisfied? And this displeasure instantly nullified my plan?"

Upon this thought, Xiao Ling mimicked Lin Feng's manner, lightly rubbing her chin a few times, thinking it quite possible.

Otherwise, why would master refuse her plan?

"Master, rest assured; once Xiao Ling can act freely, I'll bring you… no, ten thousand extremely beautiful women each day, definitely satisfying you!"

Thinking that, Xiao Ling placed a hand on her waist, nodded proudly.

She believes that by then the master will definitely be unable to resist this temptation and will obey her in everything.

Of course, she doesn't realize that if Lin Feng's several women were to find out Xiao Ling's thoughts...

She would absolutely rush nonstop to the Holy Ancient City, making Lin Feng destroy this twisted fire spirit, lest it cause future calamities!

"Huh?"

Because Lin Feng was preoccupied talking with Xiao Ling and forgot to withdraw his gaze, the woman opposite him also finally noticed his gaze.

Immediately after, the woman slowly turned her head, likewise directing her gaze over.

However, when she sensed within Lin Feng's body an extremely scorching aura, she immediately narrowed her beautiful eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "What a strong Strange Fire!"

And as she spoke, a lifelike flame insignia quietly blossomed at the center of her brow.

At the same time, Lin Feng in the distance likewise sensed that the other's gaze had come over, and he immediately raised his head to look.

However, at the instant their gazes met, both of their pupils flickered with firelight.

Furthermore, in the space where their lines of sight focused, even the air seemed to become scorching hot in that moment.

"Pfft!"

Their four eyes locked, and in the blink of an eye, a burst of flame exploded out of nowhere in the space between their gazes.

As that ball of flame exploded, the veiled woman next let out a muffled groan, and the fighting energy circulating within her body abruptly stalled for a moment.

"Huo Zhi, how are you?"

Although the fighting energy within her had only paused for an instant, this could not escape the notice of the three men beside her, and they immediately turned their gazes toward Huo Zhi, asking.

"What a formidable Strange Fire—I have no idea who the opponent is!"

Hearing that, the red-robed woman named Huo Zhi lightly shook her head, then turned her bright eyes toward the opposite side and continued, "If I get the chance, I'd like to exchange blows with him to see what kind of Strange Fire his is, compared to my own eighth‑ranked Red Lotus Karma Fire on the Strange Fire ranking."

"What? Your Red Lotus Karma Fire can't even overcome the opponent's Strange Fire?!"

Upon hearing those words, the three men around him immediately stared in disbelief at the opposite pavilion.

But soon, a man beside Huo Zhi let out a sound of astonishment.

"That person is none other than Lin Feng, who was previously targeted by Gu Xun'er and whose name has been spreading wildly through the clan!"

"Indeed it is Lin Feng; I once saw his portrait when I went out on business."

Gazing at the handsome young man opposite them, the other two men also exclaimed in astonishment.

Upon hearing that, the masked woman called Huo Zhi narrowed her eyes and said, "He is Lin Feng, right? Possessing such a Strange Fire, it's no wonder he could so thoroughly defeat the Xiao Family descendants aided by Gu Xun'er."

"Then can you tell his strength?"

As soon as those words fell, the man who had first recognized Lin Feng's identity turned to his three companions and began to inquire.

He sensed for a while, but each time his soul power approached the opponent, it was instantly burned to nothing by an extremely scorching flame.

Thus, after repeated failures, he could only turn to ask his companions.
