Chapter 1751: Chapter 1752: Gathering of the Strong! (First Update)

Noon, North of the city.

Following Xiao Juanyun’s directions, Ling Feng and his group arrived as expected.

As the Eastern Spirit Domain Martial Artists led by Ling Feng reached the northern part of the city, the other major forces entrenched in the ancient city had already gathered there.

The Western Sword Realm Martial Artists might not think highly of the Eastern Spirit Domain warriors, but with Xiao Juanyun’s orders and Ling Feng displaying formidable strength, no one dared to offend him.

North of the ancient city connects to a valley where various powerful mutant beasts roam. Although Martial Artists have explored it over time, the depths of the valley seem to have a barrier, which no method has penetrated.

This is the passage to the Great Wilderness Ruins. Only when the barrier opens can one enter the ruins.

Today marks the time when that barrier actively opens.

"Brother Ling, Brother Loe, you’re right on time!"

Xiao Juanyun had long been waiting and greeted Ling Feng as he approached.

Ling Feng smiled faintly, "Opportunity is right here, naturally we are punctual."

Shi Haoxuan had been in secluded cultivation practicing the "Great Sun Burning Heaven Sword" in recent days and was unaware of external events. Discovering that a formidable warrior like Xiao Juanyun was so polite to Ling Feng, he was somewhat taken aback.

Previously, when he exerted all his skills fighting Xiao Juanyun, he could barely withstand three moves!

"Brother Shi!"

Xiao Juanyun glanced at Shi Haoxuan and greeted him too. As an Eastern Spirit Domain Martial Artist, reaching Shi Haoxuan’s level was indeed challenging. If not for Ling Feng’s emergence, Shi Haoxuan would have been a legendary figure in the Eastern Spirit Domain.

For such a person as Shi Haoxuan, Xiao Juanyun had some respect.

"Brother Xiao!"

Shi Haoxuan clasped his hands in salute and spoke no more. Ling Feng knew that Shi Haoxuan, having once been the top genius of the Eastern Spirit Domain, encountered setbacks against outer domain warriors, bruising his pride.

However, Ling Feng believed that Shi Haoxuan wouldn’t easily become dejected.

Soon, the people from the Feather Sword Sect and Dragon Sword Mansion also arrived, completing the assembly of major forces within the ancient city.

The disciples of Dragon Sword Mansion stared coldly at Ling Feng, their eyes filled with venomous hatred, seemingly wishing to devour Ling Feng alive.

Ling Feng alone had left these Dragon Sword Mansion disciples utterly disgraced.

Ling Feng shrugged indifferently. If these people dared provoke him further after barely escaping with their lives previously, he wouldn’t hesitate to send them to accompany their Long family brothers in the afterlife.

In the Dragon Sword Mansion ranks, one person was different, not glaring at Ling Feng with anger but wearing a faint smile instead.

However, it was clearly a smile masking hidden intentions.

"It seems this is the Dragon Sword Mansion expert Mu Fenghua mentioned who returned from the higher area of Sunset Ancient City!"

Ling Feng slightly squinted his eyes. This person’s aura was indeed very powerful, giving off an ancient mountain’s oppressive feeling even when releasing a small bit of it unintentionally.

Strong!

Ling Feng evaluated internally that a head-on confrontation might not be in his favor.

But he wasn’t fighting alone; with the Despicable Donkey and Zi Feng, if this Dragon Sword Mansion expert tried to make a move, the outcome was uncertain.

"This person is an exceptional talent from the Dragon Sword Mansion. Though not comparable to the true top-tier geniuses, he has reached their threshold!"

Xiao Juanyun whispered to Ling Feng’s ear.

"Can such a warrior not be considered a top genius even in the Western Sword Realm?"

Ling Feng inhaled deeply, realizing the Western Sword Realm’s level was beyond Eastern Spirit Domain’s imagination.

Ling Feng decided quietly to leave the Eastern Spirit Domain and explore a broader world once he gathered all five Five Emperor Seals.

As for the East Spirit Immortal Pond calamity Elder Turtle mentioned, he knew staying wouldn’t help with his current strength.

With powerful warriors aplenty in the East Spirit Immortal Pond, including three Quasi-Saints presiding, even they couldn’t resolve it; his presence wouldn’t make a difference.

Only upon reaching the Saint Level threshold could he qualify to tackle the East Spirit Immortal Pond’s alleged catastrophe.

"So, did you see it?"

Suddenly, Mu Feng from the Feather Sword Sect approached.

Mu Fenghua’s skill was at most like Long Tengyuan’s level; not extremely strong but he had youth over others like Long Tengyuan, so in a few years, his power might rival Xiao Juanyun’s.

Men could hardly resist a woman with excellent talent and extraordinary beauty like her.

Regrettably, Ling Feng had always been indifferent toward beauty.

"See what?"

Ling Feng’s expression was calm, while other men, including Xiao Juanyun, showed a fleeting hint of amazement when seeing Mu Fenghua.

This woman was indeed very beautiful!

Mu Fenghua’s eyes flashed with anger as she bit her silver teeth, glaring at Ling Feng with annoyance, "Did you see Dragon Sword Mansion’s Han Su? I told you before the Great Wilderness Ruins opened, it wasn’t too late to reconsider!"

"Sorry, once Ling Feng makes a decision, he never changes his mind."

Ling Feng shook his head; Han Su might not be able to kill him, regardless of his ability level; Ling Feng wouldn’t "sell" himself to Mu Fenghua.

Mu Fenghua might treat him like merchandise, but Ling Feng would never demean himself that way.

"Hmph!"

Ling Feng’s attitude made Mu Fenghua clench her teeth in frustration, feeling humiliated by him.

Ling Feng shrugged, unconcerned.

Plenty of people disliked him; she was nothing special.

Finally, in their perceptions, the mist shrouding the valley lifted gradually, while deep within the valley, came a rumbling sound like something was awakening.
