As he continued along the mountain path, the surrounding environment quickly became extremely dark. After several flashes of light, the token in his hand suddenly changed direction and flew in the opposite direction.
Immediately afterwards, a stone archway appeared out of thin air, and a ghost character identical to the one on the token lit up above the stone archway, revealing the road leading directly to the mountaintop behind it.
Who are you?
A one-eyed man carrying a knife appeared from under the gate, blocking Lin Feng's path. He then looked at the token in Lin Feng's hand with his single eye: "Participant?"
The knife in the one-eyed man's arms trembled, and he took a half-step back with some surprise and uncertainty.
"Can the Cloud Sky Ghost Market be opened?"
"It's open." The one-eyed man replied, suddenly taking a step forward and blocking Lin Feng's path again: "I am Di Yu, the guardian of Yuntian Ghost Market... May I ask why you wish to enter Yuntian Ghost Market?"
Lin Feng's gaze sharpened, and a trace of pressure fell upon Di Yu. As the knife in his hand trembled a few times, that pressure suddenly turned into a smile: "I've come to find someone."
Looking for someone?
Did anyone in the ghost market become a target for the participants?
Di Yu knew who the participants were and naturally understood some of the intricacies of the situation, but Lin Feng's next words suddenly froze him in place.
You know Huang Chao, right?
Lin Feng's voice was dreamlike and ethereal, gripping his heart: "I've come to find his friend."
Huang Chao!
That demon who slaughtered his way to the emperor's doorstep, killed three crown princes, and wiped out seven families and ten clans?
The demon who burned most of the family genealogies of the Fang, Qin, Luo, and Li families, and who withstood four great generals for several hours?
etc!
Huang Chao's friend, could this participant's mission be to help Huang Chao?!
etc! ! ! !
Di Yu's thoughts suddenly froze. If this news got out, then here...
"What's wrong? You don't actually know where they're hiding, do you?" Lin Feng approached with a smile, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to echo in the empty valley: "As the guard of the Ghost Market, it's not difficult for you to know these things."
"Isn't that so?"
“Great man, you’re joking. I don’t know... how could I possibly know? Huang Chao disappeared completely after his defeat. I only heard that his family members were captured and sent to Gyeonggi Province to be executed.”
Gyeonggi Province, which is where the capital of the Tang Dynasty was located.
Di Yu forced a smile and tried to back away, but a force locked his body in place. In an instant, he seemed to see a giant staring directly at his soul, asking, "When did this happen?"
“A week ago…” Di Yu began, “I heard they were captured a million miles north of Mangshan, and are currently being transported to…”
Click!
Suddenly, a sword light rang out from the mountain, and Lin Feng immediately drew his demonic blade to block the attack that was about to land on Di Yu's head.
"Ghost Market Guardian Di Yu, neglecting his duties and leaking secrets, deserves to be executed!" A furious roar swept across the sky, and a black sword light landed on the demonic blade, slicing out countless sparks.
After the sparks flew, an elderly man in black emerged, his neatly trimmed white hair giving him a scholarly air.
“The Lord of the Cloud Heaven Ghost Market, Leng Xiaoyu,” Di Yu murmured, already terrified: “Second Realm of Literary Saint.”
He was merely at the level of a literary master, not much different from Luo Lingyun.
Just then, Lin Feng slowly raised his demonic blade and unleashed a wisp of blade light at the other party. He then patted Di Yu's shoulder forcefully and continued to ask, "Where were you sent?"
The sudden question sent a cold sweat down Di Yu's back. Since advancing to the Writer Master realm, he had never experienced such a weak perception.
At the same moment, Leng Xiaoyu, who had blocked Lin Feng's attack, calmly looked at Di Yu without any threat or question, seemingly waiting for his answer.
wrong!
He himself walked into this pit!
Di Yu understood perfectly well that Yuntian Ghost Market couldn't afford to be involved with Huang Chao, and Leng Xiaoyu didn't want this matter to be associated with Yuntian Ghost Market either. As for him, the guard who had run into trouble before even joining the sect, he was now the best pawn to be sacrificed.
"Northern route of Mangshan..."
Mangshan North Road is the border of the Holy Tang Dynasty near the Battle Through the Heavens world. The area in the middle originally belonged to Douluo Continent, but it has now been re-planned and has become an area under the jurisdiction of the Holy Tang Dynasty.
"How long will it take?" Lin Feng asked again, while Leng Xiaoyu above calmly awaited the answer.
"The escort team will take about six months..." Di Yu, already resigned to his fate, decided to say it all at once: "According to intelligence, they also want to lure out Huang Chao's remaining troops, so it will be even slower."
After saying that, Di Yu closed his eyes. Even if the participants in front of him didn't kill him, the master of Yuntian Ghost Market behind him wouldn't spare his life.
But just then, Lin Feng asked again, "How far is the northern route of Mangshan from here?"
Leng Xiaoyu suddenly spoke up, his voice somewhat unsettled: "Go 30 million li to the east, along the Mangshan Mountains, and advance 5 million li, and you will find them."
"I don't know the way, how about lending him to me?" Lin Feng smiled, meeting the other's gaze, and reached out to grab Di Yu's shoulder: "How about it? Would you be willing to show me the way? Yun Tian Gui Shi guards Di Yu?"
As Lin Feng calmly uttered the other person's name, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Di Yu's heart.
yes!
If he dies, Yuntian Ghost Market will indeed be fine, but Leng Xiaoyu will definitely sell the other party's information. Only if he is alive and helps this participant as a guard will Leng Xiaoyu not dare to act rashly. Only in this way can he ensure that the participant's information is not sold!
"I am willing!"
Di Yu immediately cupped his hands in greeting, but the cold laughter above him vanished completely, replaced by naked killing intent.
"Di Yu, is your youngest son able to study in Yuntian City?"
A simple question shattered Di Yu's joy once more, but a fierce ruthlessness erupted from his heart: "Sir, I have an old friend in the northern route of Mangshan. In just one day, I can help you find Huang Chao's former subordinates. I only ask that you protect my wife and children at home!"
Upon seeing the transaction information, Lin Feng didn't even glance at it before asking directly, "Are there any Supreme Saints in Cloud Sky City?"
“No, but there is a deity with both literary and martial spirits.” Di Yu quickly said, “The White Sand Dragon Brush possesses extraordinary energy that stretches for thousands of feet. Inspector Chen Yutang once used a single stroke of the Flying White Brush to draw literary energy from the east, breaking through the shackles of his own martial spirit level, condensing nine literary divine rings, and stepping into the realm of immortals and gods.”
Martial Souls in Douluo Continent...
Lin Feng immediately understood. A level 100 Martial Soul was merely the method of a Literary Master, while breaking through to the God level with a Martial Soul was naturally the level of a Literary Saint.
With the addition of a Martial Soul, a Literary Saint of this level has the means to directly communicate with heaven and earth, making them stronger in terms of combat power. However, in terms of willpower, they are somewhat weaker than those who break through to become Literary Saints entirely on their own.
Of course, those with exceptional talent will naturally be even more formidable.
As for the Nine Literary Dao Divine Rings, compared to a pure Martial Soul God King, they will comprehensively enhance one's own power, not just be a God King with a single attribute.
"Come with me."
Lin Feng didn't say much; facing no enemy at the Saint level posed no difficulty for him.
"Yes, sir!" Di Yu replied, and followed without looking back.
As Di Yu took his first step, the murderous intent in Leng Xiaoyu's eyes on the mountain path was like a long dragon waving around him, creating powerful strokes that almost stirred up the darkness of the entire ghost market, until a thick ink stroke landed, aiming at Di Yu's back.
"Di Yu, can he protect you for a while, but can he protect you forever?"
"If you leave this Cloud Heaven Ghost Market today, not only will your children not be able to pass the imperial examinations, but your Di family will have nowhere to hide in the entire Holy Tang territory!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Feng stopped in his tracks, and a silent darkness quietly spread out the moment he turned his head.
Whether Di Yu is alive or dead is a matter of opinion, but this...
Threatening the whole family?
They even target the children?
Interesting... Although the Cloud Heaven Ghost Market is not exactly a righteous path, the Lord of this Ghost Market represents countless upper echelons of the Holy Tang Dynasty.
Sun He had specifically told him these things, which were the arrogant and disdainful families he disliked the most.
The Holy Tang Dynasty is powerful, but if all the people in the Holy Tang Dynasty are like this, then is the Holy Tang Dynasty still the Holy Tang Dynasty in people's hearts?
