Chapter 1856 - 19: Schemes and Calculations

After leaving the black market, Lin Feng found an inn to stay in and rewarded Ge Er with ten Source Crystal Stones.

After Ge Er expressed his gratitude profusely, he left.

Lin Feng continued to cultivate the White Jade Toad with poison.

The transformation of the White Jade Toad would take some more time.

This requires him to use a large amount of poison for cultivation.

This kind of thing cannot be done in haste and needs to be done gradually.

...

In the evening, Lin Feng went to a brothel in Thunder City, called for some dancing girls and songstresses, drank wine while admiring the beautiful dance of the dancing girls, and listened to the delightful tunes of the songstresses, enjoying a pleasure akin to that of an immortal.

Usually, Lin Feng rarely had such free time.

Tonight, he could relax properly.

It wasn’t until late at night that Lin Feng finally left.

Even late at night, Thunder City was very bustling.

Whoosh.

He saw a black figure flash by.

Initially somewhat intoxicated, he suddenly sobered up.

"It’s that black-robed cultivator! In such a hurry, where could he be headed?"

Lin Feng muttered to himself.

That black-robed cultivator was very mysterious; Lin Feng had noticed him aboard the ancient ship.

Moreover, that black-robed cultivator was exceedingly strong.

Lin Feng didn’t follow him; everyone has their secrets.

Although he hadn’t become friends with that black-robed cultivator,

Lin Feng didn’t want to become friends with him either.

If he chased after him this time,

it could very likely turn them into enemies.

Returning to his residence, he rested for the night.

The next morning when he woke up, he heard someone shouting outside.

"Quickly go and see, two powerful cultivators are having a life and death duel in the sea!"

...

Many people, upon hearing the news, rushed outside.

"A duel to the death by experts? Who are the dueling parties?"

Lin Feng was slightly puzzled and also flew towards outside the city.

By the time he reached the seaside, a dense crowd of cultivators had already gathered around.

A fierce battle was occurring in the sea, with two cultivators furiously fighting each other.

One of them was clad in Golden Battle Armor with a pair of massive golden Feathered Wings on his back.

Obviously, he wasn’t a Human Clan cultivator and it was unknown from which race he came.

The other cultivator was someone Lin Feng actually knew.

It was Young Master Xieyou, one of the Nine Great Young Masters of Demon Dao.

This person had always pursued Shui Linglong, but Shui Linglong always kept a distant attitude towards him.

Lin Feng hadn’t expected to see Young Master Xieyou here.

For some unknown reason, Young Master Xieyou was in a fierce battle with that cultivator with golden Feathered Wings.

The battle between the two was intense and hard to resolve.

Both had extremely high cultivation, terrifying to the extreme.

It was also not an easy task to determine a winner.

"Young Master Xieyou, you’ve improved quite a bit since before!"

The cultivator with wings sneered as he spoke.

"Golden Eagle Young Master! You haven’t improved much over these years!"

Young Master Xieyou sneered aloud.

"Young Master Xieyou? Golden Eagle Young Master? These two have unusual identities, one is one of the Nine Great Young Masters of Demon Dao, the other is one of the Eight Great Young Masters of the Demon Clan! Each possesses unique skills and is a master on the Heavenly Pride List!"

"Indeed! Both are top experts! But it’s unclear why they started fighting?"

"This matter dates back several years, during a training experience, a conflict arose, thus forming a feud. Now when they meet, it’s like enemies confronting each other with exceptional fury!"

A cultivator said in a low voice, recounting the grievances between the two.

The battle, though extremely intense, left both unable to defeat the other, so after fighting for thousands of rounds, they stopped, and Golden Eagle Young Master flew away into the distance, soon disappearing without a trace.

And Young Master Xieyou flew towards Thunder City.

...

The cultivators watching the excitement outside also returned one after another, with many still discussing this thrilling battle.

This battle was destined to be unforgettable for them.

Lin Feng also returned to Thunder City.

By the time afternoon arrived,

he went to the black market and met with Poisonous Lady.

Poisonous Lady smiled and said, "Young Master, your timing is just right! The carriage is ready! Let’s get on the carriage now and talk as we go!"

Lin Feng nodded, and he and Poisonous Lady boarded the carriage.

The driver directed the carriage to go towards the distance.

Along the way, the two only briefly discussed trading matters.

Then Poisonous Lady subtly inquired about Lin Feng’s identity.

Lin Feng did not conceal it,

and told Poisonous Lady about being a disciple of the Reincarnation Immortal Sect.

Upon hearing this, Poisonous Lady showed a trace of gravity between her brows, then felt relieved.

The slight change in Poisonous Lady’s expression did not escape Lin Feng’s attention.

Lin Feng couldn’t help but keep a small mental note.

About two hours later, the voice of the driver came from outside, "Master, we’ve arrived!"

Poisonous Lady looked at Lin Feng, smiled, and said, "Let’s get off, shall we?"

Lin Feng nodded and got off the carriage with Poisonous Lady, one in front of the other.

He looked around and found that it was an extremely large courtyard.

The courtyard was empty, with no servants.

Poisonous Lady said, "My elder likes peace, so there are very few servants!"

Lin Feng didn’t doubt it and continued walking inside with Poisonous Lady.

They entered the hall.

After waiting for a while, a cultivator who looked about thirty years old walked in.

"Haha, this must be Young Master Lin, right?" said the cultivator with a smile.

Lin Feng nodded, saying, "May I know how to address you?"

"My name is Lei Shaoli!"

...

Upon hearing this name, Lin Feng was slightly startled.

Lei Shaoli.

Isn’t this the Young City Lord of Thunder City?

No wonder this Poisonous Lady could control the poison business in Thunder City in such a short time; it turns out there’s this layer of connection.

"Pleasure to meet you!" Lin Feng cupped his fists.

Lei Shaoli laughed and said, "I’m here on behalf of the elders in the family to trade with Brother Lin. In this storage ring, there is the poison Brother Lin needs! Worth fifty million Source Crystal Stones. I just don’t know whether Brother Lin can afford it?"

As he spoke, Lei Shaoli took out a storage ring.

Lin Feng said, "I can certainly afford it!"

"Brother Lin, please count the amount of poison," Lei Shaoli said, handing the storage ring to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded and reached out to take the storage ring and examine it.

At this moment.

Lei Shaoli and Poisonous Lady launched their attack simultaneously.

One in front and one behind.

Both mustered powerful attacks, blasting towards Lin Feng.

These two made a move on Lin Feng while he was unprepared, which was extremely insidious.

"It’s done!"

Lei Shaoli and Poisonous Lady’s eyes sparkled slightly because their attack was about to hit Lin Feng.

They didn’t expect that it would be so smooth to kill Lin Feng like this.
