"Jin Ao and the others are all dead?"

Upon learning of Jin Ao and the others' deaths, the withered old man was shocked and confused. "How is this possible? Didn't Xue Wu say that the person they were going to deal with was just a young man at the ninth level of the True Yuan Realm? Could such an ant kill them? Or were there other experts there?"

"But Flying Dragon City is just a remote small town. It would be good enough if a beginner Grandmaster appeared there, but it would be impossible for a mid-level Grandmaster with a cultivation level of Grandmaster level three or above to appear there!"

"But without the cultivation of a mid-level Grandmaster, how could they possibly kill Jin Ao and the others?"

After a moment's thought, the gaunt man leaned back and looked at the black-clad man standing beside him, asking, "Did Jin Ao and the others send back any messages before they died?"

"No!"

The man in black shook his head.

"They didn't even have time to send the message back?"

The gaunt old man frowned. "It seems that the opponent's strength is far greater than Jin Ao's and the others!"

"How could such a powerful figure appear in the small city of Flying Dragon?"

"Elder, should we send someone to Flying Dragon City to investigate?"

The man in black asked for instructions.

"Don't worry yet!"

The gaunt old man shook his head. "A major event is about to begin in the capital!"

"This matter is of paramount importance to our floating island!"

"The sect leader specifically instructed that during this period, the entire sect must keep a low profile and avoid causing any trouble or creating unnecessary complications!"

"The matter of Flying Dragon City is unimportant; let's put it aside for now!"

"After things are settled in the capital, I will personally make a trip there!"

"I want to see who's stirring up trouble and daring to provoke my floating island!"

"If the elder personally intervenes, the opponent will undoubtedly die!"

The man in black said with absolute certainty.

...

Time slips away quietly.

Three days passed quickly.

After three busy days, Lin Feng finally sold off all the resources he had obtained from Jin Ao and the others.

Originally, the various resources possessed by Jin Ao and others could only be sold for a maximum price of two to three million yuan.

But after Lin Feng refined it, it ended up selling for more than eight million yuan worth of stones!

So he spent 3.5 million gold stones to upgrade all seven other martial arts skills of different attributes to the middle level of Earth!

After that, he still had four or five million yuan worth of stones left!

To upgrade the integration level of the nine major domains from the basic to the intermediate level, only four million yuan stones are needed!

So he spent four million gold coins to upgrade the integration level of the nine domains from the initial level to the intermediate level!

In this way, his strength immediately increased exponentially!

However, after doing all this, he only had a few hundred thousand spirit stones left.

There's still a long way to go before we reach the ten million gold coins needed for the next upgrade.

Now, he doesn't have much left to sell.

To continue upgrading and becoming stronger, he must continue to find ways to make money!

"It's been three days, and the floating islands' retaliation still hasn't come?"

Lin Feng, who had waited for three days without seeing anyone from the floating island, was quite frustrated.

He was not afraid of retaliation from the people on the floating island; on the contrary, he was looking forward to them sending him money!

If the other party doesn't come, he won't have any money to continue upgrading!

In contrast to him, the father and son Shenchuan were very happy that they hadn't seen the floating island's revenge for three days.

They were well aware that, under normal circumstances, if the people on the floating islands really wanted to continue their revenge, they would likely send people to kill Flying Dragon City on the very first day!

However, three whole days passed, and the other side still didn't send anyone to retaliate, which was clearly very unusual.

If nothing unexpected happens, it's likely that something went wrong on the floating island, preventing the other side from retaliating against them for the time being.

Whatever problems the floating islands encounter, it's a good thing for them.

"If the people from the floating islands don't come to retaliate, I can't just stay in this Flying Dragon City and wait for them to come to me, can I?"

Lin Feng frowned and pondered, "With my current strength, it's unrealistic to directly storm the floating island!"

"It seems I can't place all my hopes on the people on the floating islands. Since they refuse to retaliate, I'll have to find another way to make money and upgrade!"

"The capital of the Great Jin Dynasty! It seems I really have to make a trip there!"

After a moment's thought, Lin Feng quickly made a decision.

"Brother Lin! I've come to bother you again!"

Just as Lin Feng was about to set off for the capital, Shen Chuan's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Huh? What does this kid want with me now?"

Lin Feng looked outside with some curiosity.

Then, led by a servant, Shen Chuan walked over with a big smile on his face, seemingly in a very good mood.

"Brother Shen, you're smiling so happily, is there some good news?"

Seeing Shen Chuan's expression, Lin Feng couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Haha, the people from the floating island didn't come to retaliate, isn't that a good thing?"

Shen Chuan said with a smile.

"What kind of happy event is this?"

Lin Feng shook his head and smiled, looking rather depressed.

This was indeed a happy event for Shen Chuan and the others, but it was not a good thing for him.

"ah?"

Shen Chuan was completely dumbfounded.

He didn't understand what Lin Feng was thinking.

Isn't it a good thing that a powerful enemy doesn't retaliate?

Why does Lin Feng still look so disappointed?

Could it be that this guy is hoping the people from the floating islands will come after them?

What's wrong with this?

Does this guy have masochistic tendencies?

"Ahem, it's nothing. Brother Shen, you didn't come all this way just to talk about this, did you?"

Lin Feng shook his head and smiled, saying it nonchalantly.

He wouldn't tell anyone about the system's existence, so naturally he wouldn't explain anything to Shen Chuan!

"Of course it's not about that!"

Shen Chuan smiled and nodded, then said solemnly, "Brother Lin, I've come here today to tell you some incredibly good news!"

"Oh, what a wonderful piece of news?"

Lin Feng asked with great curiosity.

"Brother Lin, news has come from the capital that Her Highness the Princess is preparing to choose a husband!"

Shen Chuan said with a smile.

"A princess is choosing a husband? What does that have to do with me?"

Lin Feng frowned and said with some disappointment.

He's only interested in leveling up and getting stronger right now!

What princess and prince consort? Will that make him stronger?

If you can't, then there's no point in arguing with him!

"Of course they're related!"

Shen Chuan stated with great certainty, "Those who pass the imperial son-in-law assessment will receive generous rewards, including spirit stones, cultivation techniques, and martial arts skills!"

"Furthermore, this princess is said to be the most beautiful woman in our Great Jin Kingdom!"

Aren't you interested?

"Cultivation techniques and martial arts skills?"

Lin Feng's eyes lit up. "If that's how you put it, I'm actually quite interested!"
