222: Crisis resolved

Lin Feng’s heart stirred upon hearing this. If Bai Zhan was telling the truth, then this secret was indeed worth sparing Bai Zhan’s life. However, he wouldn't easily believe Bai Zhan, as this person had already betrayed the Sect and defected to the Netherworld.

He looked at Bai Zhan and said, “Alright, I can consider sparing your life. However, you must first reveal the clues about the object of unsealing so I can confirm your value. Furthermore, I will plant a Restriction on your body to prevent you from betraying me again.”

Bai Zhan’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this. But he knew that at this moment, he had no room to bargain. He could only nod and say, “Alright, I’ll tell you the clues about the object of unsealing first.”

With that, Bai Zhan began to tell Lin Feng everything he knew about the clues regarding the object of unsealing. Lin Feng listened quietly, nodding occasionally to confirm.

When Bai Zhan finished speaking, Lin Feng’s gaze towards him had softened somewhat. He said, “Alright, I have confirmed your value. But I cannot let you go now; I must wait until I verify the truth of what you’ve said.”

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he conjured a spell, and a ray of Restriction light shot into Bai Zhan’s body. Bai Zhan felt a powerful force surge into his body, making him unable to move an inch. He knew this was the Restriction Lin Feng had planted to prevent him from betraying again.

Bai Zhan looked at Lin Feng, a trace of helplessness and unwillingness flashing in his eyes. But he also knew that at this moment, he had no choice. He could only hope that Lin Feng would keep his promise and release him after verifying the truth of what he said.

Lin Feng looked at Bai Zhan, smiled slightly, and said, “You wait here for now.”

At this time, Lin Feng ignored Su Qing, who was suffering and still cursing Bai Zhan. Instead, he had his spirit pet, Xiao Ying, the Silver Shadow Leopard, guard the two of them, instructing her to kill them directly if either of them made any abnormal moves.

Lin Feng did not avoid the two when giving this order; it was to warn them not to have any improper thoughts, otherwise, they would bear the consequences.

Su Qing’s eyes flashed with despair when she heard Lin Feng’s words. She hadn’t expected to fall to such a state. She looked at Bai Zhan, her eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness. She said, “Bai Zhan, it’s all your fault. If you hadn’t been so impatient, and we had taken it step by step, how would we be in this predicament now? When King Qian You comes out, he won’t let you off.”

Bai Zhan heard this, gave a wry smile, and said, “Su Qing, at this point, you still think King Qian You can save us? If he truly had such great abilities, why would he send us to find the object of unsealing? We are merely his pawns.”

Su Qing’s heart trembled when she heard Bai Zhan’s words. She thought back carefully and indeed felt that Bai Zhan made sense.

At this moment, Lin Feng turned his attention to the battle between Xing Chen Zi and the three Netherworld Wolves, as well as the Cloud Water Sect’s cleanup of the Netherworld Beasts.

Xing Chen Zi was seen wielding his long sword, its light like a Dragon, locked in an intense battle with the three Netherworld Wolf-shaped Yao Beasts. His swordplay was sharp and precise, each attack aimed directly at the Netherworld Wolves’ vital points. However, these three Netherworld Wolves were not ordinary opponents; their movements were agile, their attacks swift, and they constantly let out sharp wolf howls, attempting to disrupt Xing Chen Zi’s mind.

These three Netherworld Wolves were not ordinary Netherworld demonic beasts, but Netherworld Howling Moon Wolves, which are also somewhat famous Yao Beasts in the Netherworld, known for their speed and fierce attacks, and their howls can disturb others’ minds.

Although Xing Chen Zi’s cultivation was profound, facing the combined attack of these three Netherworld Howling Moon Wolves, he couldn’t defeat them quickly. However, after this period of fighting, the three Netherworld Howling Moon Wolves were already injured and clearly wouldn’t last much longer. At this moment, Lin Feng’s figure flashed, and he appeared beside Xing Chen Zi. He glanced at Xing Chen Zi, who was fiercely battling the three Netherworld Howling Moon Wolves, and said, “Daoist Xing Chen Zi, I’ll help you!”

Xing Chen Zi heard this, glanced at Lin Feng, and nodded slightly in thanks. He said, “Daoist Lin, I appreciate it.”

Lin Feng smiled slightly, said nothing more, and chose the weakest one to attack.

His figure flashed, and he appeared behind that Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf. He conjured a spell, and a sharp sword light pierced towards the Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf’s back.

The Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf sensed the danger from behind and quickly turned to dodge. However, Lin Feng’s sword light was like a shadow, following it closely. The Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf let out a sharp wolf howl, attempting to disrupt Lin Feng’s mind, but Lin Feng remained unmoved, still staring intently at it.

After several rounds, the Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf gradually fell into a disadvantage under Lin Feng’s attack. It tried to get close to Lin Feng several times, attempting to use its powerful Physical Body to repel Lin Feng, but to its surprise, Lin Feng’s Physical Body was equally powerful. Several close-range attacks were repelled by Lin Feng. This Yao Beast, which was at the Middle Stage of the fourth rank, equivalent to a Human Race Cultivator in the Mid stage of the Yuanying Realm, was actually unable to do anything to Lin Feng for a while.

A trace of fear flashed in the Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf’s eyes. It hadn’t expected this Cultivator, who seemed to have a lower cultivation than itself, to be so difficult to deal with.

Lin Feng looked at the Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf’s terrified eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips. He said, “Hmph, with just this much ability, you dare to provoke me?”

Saying that, Lin Feng attacked again, his sword light like a Dragon, heading straight for the Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf’s vital point.

Seeing this, the Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf could only rely on its sharp claws to resist Lin Feng’s Cold Light Sword. On the other side, with Lin Feng’s help, the cooperation of the three Netherworld Howling Moon Wolves was broken. With Xing Chen Zi’s strength as a Great Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator, he quickly killed the other two Netherworld Howling Moon Wolves. The last Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf saw its companions die, and a trace of despair flashed in its eyes. It wanted to escape, but Lin Feng did not give it that chance. Lin Feng’s figure flashed, and he blocked its path, the Cold Light Sword in his hand emitting a chilling light, pointing directly at the Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf’s throat.

The Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf let out a sharp wolf howl, attempting a final struggle. However, Lin Feng remained unmoved. With a swing of his Cold Light Sword, he ended the life of this Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf.

Xing Chen Zi looked at Lin Feng cleanly and decisively killing the Netherworld Howling Moon Wolf, a trace of admiration flashing in his eyes. He said, “Daoist Lin, your strength is indeed extraordinary.”

Lin Feng smiled modestly and said, “Daoist Xing Chen Zi, you flatter me. I was just lucky.”

While Xing Chen Zi was fighting the three Netherworld Howling Moon Wolves, he had already seen Lin Feng capture Su Qing and Bai Zhan and force clues about the object of unsealing from them. He knew that Lin Feng was definitely interrogating the two at this time, so he was not in a hurry to go over, but first cleared the surrounding Netherworld demonic beasts.
