Chapter 1435: Two Months

"Exactly what I wanted. The trade fair in Sky-Empty City will be held in a little over two months, and we need to scout early. In other words, we only have two months for seclusion. Now that we have obtained so many cultivation resources, it's perfect for my subsequent seclusion to recover strength. Xiao Ling, well done."

While praising, Lin Feng immediately waved his hand, wrapped all those storage bags in strange fire, and then inhaled them into his belly.

Hearing her master's praise, Xiao Ling instantly clenched her fists in excitement and waved them a few times.

Immediately, she controlled the three vacant‑eyed women to transfer to Lin Feng's side, then introduced, "Master, these are the city lord's concubine and two other women from Lingku City. During this period, Xiao Ling also needs to seclude for breakthrough and cannot attend to you, so they can serve as entertainment."

"Of course, I've already checked; this junior concubine is healthy, no issues. As for the two women, one is sixteen, the other seventeen, both virgins, no problems."

The girl finished speaking with a proud expression, then looked at her master with eager anticipation.

That look seemed to say, "Master, praise me quickly!"

Hearing that, Lin Feng turned his head and saw that the three women behind the girl indeed looked quite decent.

Among them, one appeared to be about twenty‑seven or twenty‑eight, mature and enchanting, with plump, jade‑like features, clearly outstanding.

The other two looked sixteen or seventeen, just reaching adulthood.

However, although not fully grown, their fair, tender faces and budding figures suggested…

…that once fully matured, they would certainly be as beautiful as the earlier young lady.

"Well done, you girl; you're becoming more considerate of your master."

After looking at the three women, Lin Feng turned back, saw the girl's eagerness for praise, and promptly granted her wish.

And while speaking, he extended a hand, gently stroking the twenty‑two‑colored strands of Xiao Ling's hair.

Fortunately, the girl's looks were high enough to hold so many colors of hair.

If her looks fell short, she'd probably become uncool.

As for Xiao Ling, she now squinted like a pet, enjoying her master's touch. Uh, no, she is a pet.

She is, however, a pet that can chat with her master, fight alongside him, and is also very capable of "doing."

Then, immediately, he slowly withdrew his hand.

At the same time, his smile faded gradually, and he said, "Xiao Ling, we must speed up now; let's travel twenty to thirty thousand li before secluding. After all, this place is too close to the locations of the Miqing Sect and the Grand Void Sword Sect, and Lingku City has existed here for so long that it might be connected to them."

"If, halfway through seclusion, we get disturbed by strong ones sent by those two great sects, that would be bad."

Hearing that, Xiao Ling immediately raised her hand in an OK gesture and said, "No problem."

Seeing this, Lin Feng's mind shifted, and a pair of purple‑golden wings, several zhang wide, swiftly unfolded from his back.

"Boom!"

With the purple‑golden wings flapping powerfully, his flight speed instantly multiplied several times as he surged northward.

Xiao Ling, seeing this, immediately applied all acceleration methods of the strange fire to herself.

Then her speed also surged, and she followed him at full speed toward the north.

As Lin Feng vanished, Lingku City, after the chaos, quickly returned to its prior tranquility.

However, for some unknown reason, the city lord's mansion recently dispatched many strongmen to search everywhere for a cultivator named Xiao Yan.

In Lingku City, every unlucky soul named Xiao Yan was seized and taken to the city lord's mansion under puzzled gazes.

And those people never appeared again.

At the same time, the Yunlan Trade Hall, once famous for its Zengyuan Pill, Shisheng Pill, and Qingming Longevity Pill within tens of thousands of li, was suddenly visited by the city lord's mansion without warning.

In the end, everyone in the trade hall, from top to bottom, who was present or could be found later, was slaughtered completely.

Only the shopkeeper Su Yun and her two elders had already disappeared.

Even the city lord's strongmen searched everywhere, but ultimately found nothing.

And regarding this, the people of Lingku City offered many conflicting rumors.

Some say that Su Yun, the shopkeeper of the Yunlan Trade Hall, though appearing as a coquettish beautiful young lady, is actually a lesbian.

When she delivered goods for the city lord's mansion, she set her eyes on the lord's concubine and daughter, and later got involved with them.

After the auction, she secretly eloped with companions.

Thus the lord, in a rage, slaughtered every member of the Yunlan Trade Hall he could find.

Of course, because the rumor was so wild, most city residents didn't believe it.

Instead, they believed another rumor: that an elder of the Yunlan Trade Hall successfully seduced the lord's wife and daughter, eventually abducting them.

As for Su Yun and another elder, after learning of this, they felt staying in Lingku City would guarantee death, so they fled.

In short, any passerby would say this matter is inseparable from Su Yun and the other two.

Otherwise, why would the city lord's mansion, otherwise fine, specifically massacre the Yunlan Trade Hall?

Of course, only those in the city lord's mansion know the true background.

However, regarding the lord's scandal, no one inside dares to spread it.

Otherwise, being discovered would be a disastrous calamity!

Meanwhile, amid the heated discussions among Lingku City residents, days passed one after another.

In these tranquil days, two months slipped by silently.

At the same time, on the summit of a mountain over twenty thousand li north of Lingku City, the peak had been forcibly cut off halfway by human effort.

On the remaining half of the cliff, an artificial tunnel entrance existed.

However, at this moment before the sun rose behind the mountain, the opening was already emitting strange notes continuously.

And listening, the sound seemed to involve several women and a man.

Fortunately, after the sun fully rose from below, the sound gradually ceased.

"Whoosh!"

Immediately, a figure flashed out from within.

At a glance, this person was Lin Feng, who had vanished two months ago.

Only now, his face and neck were covered with three‑colored rouge marks.

And in this appearance, it is obvious that he has just finished some wrongdoing (End of chapter)
