Chapter 2745: Vigilance

After entering the cave, Ling Feng immediately activated the Invisibility Ring on his nameless finger, which hadn’t been used for a long time, and then assimilated his form with the surrounding scenes. Unless someone stronger than Ling Feng could sense the changes in aura, people outside wouldn’t be able to detect Ling Feng’s presence.

Ordinary people cannot see Ling Feng’s form at all.

Ling Feng summoned Little Fei and rode on its back to fly out of the cave.

Ling Yao saw Little Fei leaving the cave and knew Ling Feng must have left too. She couldn’t see his form because Ling Feng was using the Invisibility Ring.

And fearing to get too close to the mansion for fear that Ling Feng and his companions would discover them, the Shui Clan scouts only dared to monitor the mansion’s perimeter. They saw a giant beetle flying out from the mansion and were initially surprised.

However, not seeing Ling Feng himself and having not heard that this outsider had any shapeshifting skills, the Shui Clan spy no longer cared, merely staying “focused” on surveilling Ling Feng, believing he was still inside the mansion.

Meanwhile, Ling Feng was already riding on Little Fei’s back, heading to the Water Wave Plain following Song Ruozhao’s guidance in his mind.

Although this area is named a plain, in reality, it is surrounded by various phenomena of waterfalls and fountains, making one marvel at the wonders of the Water Wave World.

Moreover, this place is sparsely populated; during the flight, Ling Feng didn’t see any Shui Clan buildings or people.

Beside a waterfall, Ling Feng finally saw Song Ruozhao standing on the water flow. Ling Feng jumped down from Little Fei’s back and smiled, saying, “Brother Song!”

Song Ruozhao turned to look at Ling Feng and nodded his head.

Ling Feng suddenly asked, “Brother Song, why can I hear your voice even though I cannot transmit sound, and I can respond to you?”

Song Ruozhao said indifferently, “Because my cultivation has already reached the Transcendent Realm. I can make my voice directly enter your mind, and you only need to think to respond to me, without needing learned skills.”

Ling Feng said with some surprise, “Doesn’t that mean you can know whatever is in my mind?”

Song Ruozhao shook his head, “Those silent answers are not your emotions, thoughts, and sentiments, they are just another form of sound transmission, which is indirect use under my influence,”

“I wouldn’t know your ordinary inner thoughts, even after cultivating for over three thousand years, I haven’t reached such a level.”

Ling Feng uttered “Oh oh” a few times, then Song Ruozhao thought for a moment and continued, “If you need, I can pass the complete Advanced Sound Transmission Technique to you right now. No matter where the object of your transmission is, as long as you are in the same world,”

“you can send your thoughts across.”

“Does that require some condition as a cost?” Ling Feng asked cautiously.

Song Ruozhao suddenly seemed both amused and helpless, then shook his head, saying, “No, it’s just a cultivation technique, a common thing, it’s no use to me.”

“Then let’s do it; I’ll surely take something given freely,” Ling Feng suddenly felt an indescribable excitement.

Song Ruozhao placed his left hand on Ling Feng’s forehead, then suddenly a golden light transmitted into Ling Feng’s mind. A cultivation technique, brief in content, was imprinted on Ling Feng’s mind, and in an instant he mastered this Advanced Sound Transmission Technique uniquely created and refined by Song Ruozhao.

“Remember, this technique can only be used with people you have spoken to. If you haven’t had any interaction, you can’t use this sound transmission technique,” Song Ruozhao explained.

Ling Feng nodded, then immediately tested the wonderful use of the sound transmission technique, using it on Ling Yao, who was hundreds of miles away.

“Yaoyao, can you hear me?”

Ling Yao’s mind instantly appeared Ling Feng’s figure; just as Ling Yao was still surprised, she had automatically silently replied in her mind, “Ah Feng?”

“Yes, it’s me. It’s the Sound Transmission Technique taught by Brother Song. As long as we’re in the same world, we can transmit sound to each other.”

Ling Yao nodded and realized, “It’s indeed a powerful sound transmission technique, being able to communicate across a world, probably using everyone’s aura.”

Ling Feng also nodded, as he guessed the same, considering Song Ruozhao’s profound study of human and natural aura.

“Brother Song, you didn’t call me here just for the sound transmission technique, did you? Is there anything else important you want me to see?”

Song Ruozhao turned around and looked down at the plain, saying indifferently, “These few days during your seclusion, I have traveled through most of the Shui Clan’s world. From my estimate, the Water Wave World is about ten times larger than the Huo Clan’s Lava World,”

“The Shui Clan’s territory occupies only about two-thirds of the Shui Clan’s world, with the remaining one-third being almost completely devoid of inhabitants,”

“During my exploration, I also discovered that this land contains incompatible auras with the surrounding environment. What first drew my attention was the area called ‘Water Wave Plain’ by the Shui Clan,”

“After conducting inspections, I suspect there might be something underground here…”

Ling Feng’s eyes glimmered with excitement as he rubbed his hands together, exclaiming, “Brother Song, do you mean there might be treasures down there?”

Song Ruozhao shook his head, “Not necessarily precious materials and treasures, it might also be suppressed and sealed demonic beasts…”

Ling Feng was splashed with cold water. After pondering for a moment, he questioned Song Ruozhao, “Brother Song, why did you call me here? If there’s treasure below, you can just take it yourself,”

“If there are monsters, your strength is way beyond mine, you can completely handle it yourself. If even you can’t deal with it, adding me would be of little help,”

“So why exactly did you want me to come here?”

Ling Feng voiced his doubts, unable to figure out why Song Ruozhao wanted him there.

Song Ruozhao nodded, “What you said makes a lot of sense. I indeed could have taken the treasure alone; however, even in the Nine Provinces, seldom anything moves me, do you believe there are precious materials I need in this resource-poor Nine Nether?”

“The reason I invited you here is simply to view you as a partner, wishing to share discoveries. Besides, I suspect that the Shui Clan’s world is not so simple…”

Song Ruozhao walked to the front of the waterfall, treading the air without a single droplet splashing onto his clothes. Facing away from Ling Feng, he spoke indifferently:

“I know you haven’t let go of your vigilance against me, right?”

Ling Feng was slightly taken aback.
