The journey between Evil Valley and Yueelin City is long. When Ling Feng was taken to Evil Valley by Xiao Xiao’er and others, it took them a full three days, even at full speed.
You should know that for Saint-level warriors, traveling continuously for three days is already quite a long journey.
To avoid some unnecessary trouble and misunderstandings, Ling Feng put Yeu Xiaodie into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, leaving her in the care of Despicable Donkey and Zi Feng.
After all, the combination of Ling Feng and Yeu Junyao, along with a delicate little girl, could easily be mistaken as a family of three.
Even though Yeu Xiaodie still retained some characteristics of the Insect Clan, when her wings were folded and her eyes were closed, she was almost indistinguishable from a human.
Ling Feng didn’t want to inexplicably become a dad just like that.
Wouldn’t that make him a "happy dad"?
The night grew deeper.
Ling Feng was traveling up front when he heard Yeu Junyao’s complaining voice from behind, "Hey brat, I don’t want to spend the night eating in the wild and sleeping rough tonight! No way, I want to find an inn and enjoy a nice hot bath!"
"You really are a bother!"
Ling Feng sighed helplessly, glanced ahead, and slowly said, "Fine, there’s a town a few dozen miles ahead, we can stay there for the night."
"That’s more like it!"
Yeu Junyao glared at Ling Feng, thinking to herself that as a lady of the Jiuli Divine Race, how could she be like a "crude person" such as Ling Feng!
The reason Ling Feng decided to head into the city was partly due to Yeu Junyao’s complaints and partly because he wanted to gather some information in the city.
He had been in Evil Valley for three months, and during this time, he had no idea about what had been happening outside.
Having finally arrived at a relatively bustling city, he figured someone there must know what’s been happening in Yueelin City.
With the pace of Ling Feng and Yeu Junyao, they soon arrived at the city called "Songfeng City," which is a historic ancient city, with walls that tell stories of the passage of time.
However, Ling Feng found it strange that this seemingly small city was so "overcrowded"!
Ling Feng and Yeu Junyao wandered around the city for half a day and couldn’t find an inn with vacant rooms. In the end, they found a very remote and shabby inn that only had one room left.
Helplessly, Ling Feng had no choice but to pay the deposit and share the room with Yeu Junyao.
After all, they had already lived together for quite some time in Evil Valley, so it wasn’t overly awkward.
"Haha, young sir, this is your Earth Number Nine guest room."
The innkeeper led Ling Feng and Yeu Junyao into the guest room, and the conditions inside...
Yeu Junyao almost lost her temper at the sight. Apart from a simple wooden bed and an old table and screen, there were almost no other furnishings. It wasn’t only basic, but the roof even leaked!
And these conditions are called a guest room?
Yet despite the conditions, this room still cost five hundred Elemental Stones a day!
With five hundred Elemental Stones, one could stay in a luxurious villa in other towns of similar size.
"Sorry, the recent influx of Martial Arts people into the city has caused a shortage of rooms, so... please bear with us,"
The innkeeper explained with a smile after noticing their displeased expressions. "This room was also temporarily made available; otherwise, it might not have been vacant!"
Ling Feng raised his eyebrows, not really bothered by the accommodation conditions. Having a roof over their heads was better than being exposed to the elements.
"By the way, little brother, why have so many people suddenly come to this small city?"
Ling Feng was curious. Logically, this small city could, at most, have a Human Emperor-level figure on a good day.
But now, the situation was such that there were Human Emperors everywhere and Great Emperors walking all over!
There was no shortage of Saint-level warriors either. Although their presence was subtle and intentionally hidden, it couldn’t escape Ling Feng’s perception.
"It’s because Master Shen Wuliang predicted that a great opportunity would soon appear around Skywind County,"
When mentioning Master Shen Wuliang, a hint of admiration appeared in the innkeeper’s eyes, as if he revered the man like a deity.
"Great opportunity?"
Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched, about to speak when Yeu Junyao interjected with a complaint, "What Divine Master or whatever Master, I think he’s just a charlatan! A fortune teller, laughable!"
"Young lady, you can eat food carelessly, but you can’t speak carelessly!"
The innkeeper quickly said, "Master Shen is truly an extraordinary person; everything he predicts without exception comes to pass! If you ever meet him, you’ll surely be deeply impressed by his skills."
"Tch!"
Yeu Junyao looked disdainful, about to mock further when Ling Feng interrupted her.
"My friend here has some issues, don’t take her words seriously,"
Ling Feng pointed to his head and whispered, "Little brother, continue with your work!"
"Alright, if you need anything, just call me!"
The innkeeper glanced at Yeu Junyao and muttered under his breath, "So pretty, but such a pity about the brain!"
"You!"
The perceptive Yeu Junyao immediately reacted, about to flare up, but Ling Feng stopped her. The innkeeper quickly made his escape.
"You brat, why are you holding me back? I have to teach that disrespectful innkeeper a lesson!"
Yeu Junyao fumed, glaring at Ling Feng with determination.
"Why bother getting angry with a common person?"
Ling Feng chuckled and walked into the room, pulled out a chair to sit, poured himself a cup of tea, and with a smile, said to Yeu Junyao, "Come, have some hot tea to calm down!"
"Hmph, and you, brat, don’t think I didn’t hear you; you dared to say I’m not smart? You’re the one not smart!"
Yeu Junyao glared coldly at Ling Feng, sitting across from him, clearly still annoyed.
"Alright, alright, I’m the one not smart, okay?"
Ling Feng said helplessly, "Compared to that, haven’t you noticed anything unusual about this city?"
"Do you really think I’m an idiot?"
Yeu Junyao, with her Fong Mu-like eyes and biting her silver teeth lightly, said, "A small city hides dragons and tigers, with even many Saint-level auras; it’s indeed strange!"
"Since you’ve noticed, why say Master Shen Wuliang is a charlatan?"
Ling Feng squinted and smiled, "If he were an ordinary charlatan, he wouldn’t be able to influence the decisions of Saint-level warriors, would he?"
Saint-level warriors have already gone through the Nine Revolutions Tribulation and are aligned with the Heavenly Dao power. They have gained some ability to foresee the future.
Of course, this ability isn’t specific and is more like a "whim."
For example, having a premonition of danger or opportunity, and the like.
The message Master Shen Wuliang sent out, however, attracted so many Saint-level warriors, which means he is definitely no ordinary man.
