Chapter 1433: Reply to the Lingku City Lord

"Oh, it seems I misread you; your target isn't the mundane pill formulas like the Life‑Devouring Pill or the Azure Longevity Pill in my hand, but the higher‑value spiritual pill formula."

Upon learning that the Lingku City lord had sent someone to find him, Lin Feng immediately raised an eyebrow, his expression showing a hint of surprise.

Yet immediately after, he stood up, his demeanor calm, and said: "But this also seems normal; after all, if one's lifespan is about to end, or the once‑every‑500‑years Heavenly Tribulation of the Heaven‑Combining Realm is about to arrive and one cannot be sure of surviving it, then just now learning that a mysterious alchemist who can greatly boost strength and lifespan has appeared makes sense."

"If it were me, I would certainly want to talk to the other party and see if there's any gain."

However, at this point Lin Feng shook his head and sighed, "It's just a pity—he's far too proud. But it makes sense; with his Heaven‑Combining Realm strength, he is almost invincible within this tiny Lingku City. He has been arrogant for nearly a thousand years in his own modest plot, and now faced with a cultivator of the Responding Heaven Realm like me, how could he possibly lower that 'noble' head?"

With those words, Su Yun and the two companions, as well as the two people from the city lord's residence, were instantly stunned in place, their faces full of disbelief as they stared at him.

A cultivator of the Responding Heaven Realm daring to comment on a Heaven‑Combining Realm strongman.

"Is he courting death?"

"Elders, this is a misunderstanding; Master Xiao Yan was momentarily confused and misspoke. I hope you two will not hold a grudge. Coincidentally, not long ago, I selected a few attractive women to become maids. They are still virgins; when we return, I will immediately send them to your residences."

Immediately after, Su Yun hurriedly stepped forward, forced a bow to the two people from the city lord's residence, attempting to appease their anger.

At the same time, she also gave Lin Feng a subtle glance.

Signaling that if he had such a pill formula, he should give it to those two, since survival comes first.

Following them to the city lord's residence would only lead to a worse fate.

After all, the city lord of Lingku City can easily crush a Heaven‑Combining Realm strongman from the Responding Heaven Realm.

"Hmph, it's not that easy. That scoundrel dares to insult my city lord. I won't spare his cultivation; I will drag him before the city lord to kowtow and apologize. This cannot be let off!"

As soon as the words fell, the two Elders of the city lord's residence's eyes snapped open, and a visible surge of vital energy instantly slammed toward Lin Feng.

"Boom! Boom!"

At the moment the two released their power, their fists suddenly enlarged in their sight and then hammered hard onto the two men's noses.

"Crunch!"

The instant the fists met the noses, the two felt a sharp pain on their faces, and chunks of flesh and bright red blood floated before them.

Immediately after, their bodies were flung backward, crashing hard into the wall of the back room!

"You two dare threaten me, thinking that those without background are all prey you can slaughter?"

With an easy blow that rendered the two helpless, Lin Feng let out a cold snort, then, while his mouth opened wide, under the stunned stare of Su Yun and the two others, he gave a light flick of his palm.

Two storage bags then shot out from their bodies and landed in his hand.

"Why… why can our bodies not penetrate this room made of low‑grade wood? Damn it."

The two he had deliberately spared struggled to turn their heads, seeing the wooden board behind them completely unscathed, while blood and entrails gushed from their mouths, they looked at the wooden wall in disbelief and confusion.

Clearly this wall has nothing special about it.

"Hehe, telling them is fine; it'll make you understand the ghost."

Lin Feng smiled faintly, then casually said: "This whole room was sealed by my methods the instant you entered, so our movements cannot be detected outside. Unless you are Heaven‑Combining Realm cultivators, then maybe."

As he spoke, he instantly waved his hand, unleashing two strands of ink‑black light.

"Ah! Ah!"

The black light shot out, enveloping their bodies, and in an instant the room filled with their agonized screams.

However, the sound did not last long; the two Elders of the city lord's residence immediately withered.

Then, with a muffled bang, the two desiccated bodies, unable to hold form, collapsed into a pile of fragments and dust.

"Not bad, you've replenished some life force for me; that counts as a contribution."

Having absorbed their life force, Lin Feng gave a satisfied nod.

After all, attacks from the Book of Death require the life force within the Book of Life as support.

Without that, using it would cost one's own lifespan.

After dealing with the two, Lin Feng shifted his gaze slightly, glancing at Su Yun and the two others frozen in the room.

"Sir Xiao Yan, we are also forced; please do not kill us. I am willing to serve at your left side."

Seeing the former look over, Su Yun suddenly became excited, then quickly knelt, stammering in fearful words.

As for the two elders, they also promptly knelt and shouted, "Sir Xiao Yan, we can do anything; you are great, please spare us!"

"Indeed, Sir Xiao Yan, considering our devoted service before, please show mercy."

Seeing this, Lin Feng twitched the corner of his mouth.

Then he waved his hand and said: "I know you're forced; consider these as payment for your work this time. Take care of yourselves."

As soon as he finished speaking, he tossed several jade vials, then his body turned into a streak of light and vanished from the room.

"Xiao Ling, go empty the city lord's residence, leave not a drop of spirit liquid. Also, see if there are any favored junior women or the city lord's wife; as long as they're beautiful, seize them all for me!"

After leaving the room, while flying, Lin Feng suddenly spoke.

"As you command, master; any beautiful woman, Xiao Ling guarantees to seize them all for you!"

Receiving the order, the brat's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately promised.

As soon as she spoke, the brat immediately left his body, silently swooping toward the city center. (End of chapter)
