Seeing Luo Feng unleash the Hundred Steps Divine Gang, Yuan Lin recalled the prodigious youth who had recently caused an uproar throughout the entire Duanmu Family.
Upon hearing Yuan Lin’s words, Chen Shi and the others nearby were instantly astonished.
They had also heard about the recent New Talent Conference, where a Purple Sun School student had miraculously beco the top new talent.
However, since Luo Feng had a refined appearance and did not exude an overwhelming aura, none of them had suspected him.
I thought the na Luo Feng sounded familiar. It turns out he’s this year’s top new talent! Chen Shi exclaid inwardly, surprised that their group included the celebrity who had made such a na for himself at the New Talent Conference.
I heard he’s already entered the eighth layer of the Hell Realm. I was sowhat skeptical, but it looks like it’s true!
Another middle-aged Martial Artist nearby sighed, Achieving the strength of an eighth-layer Hell Realm expert at such a young age, his future achievents will be limitless.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Yuan Lin’s face turned deathly pale. He glared nacingly at Luo Feng, his eyes gleaming with bitter hatred and ferocity.
"You insignificant whelp! Regardless of how powerful you are, you’re nothing but an ant before the Duanmu Family! My father is a high-ranking mber of the Duanmu Family. If you dare lay a finger on today, your fate will be the sa as your brother’s! Sooner or later, we’ll make you wish you were dead!" Yuan Lin roared, his voice hoarse.
"Huh?"
Luo Feng narrowed his eyes, a cold, murderous intent glinting in their depths. I’m afraid you won’t live to see that day.
The Green Wood Trading Co. was very important to the Duanmu Family. Destroying it would be a significant blow. From the very beginning, Luo Feng had no intention of letting Yuan Lin leave alive.
eting Luo Feng’s gaze, Yuan Lin couldn’t help but shiver.
He had intended to use the Duanmu Family to threaten Luo Feng, hoping to save his own life. Who knew the other party held no regard for the Duanmu Family at all?
The strength Luo Feng had displayed had completely shattered his arrogance; he didn’t dare to fight Luo Feng.
Yuan Lin’s eyes darted around. When he noticed Li Hua, who seed reluctant to leave, a barely perceptible, cold smirk touched his lips.
Earlier, Luo Feng had protected Chen Shi, implying they knew each other. It was clear that escaping this situation would be impossible without resorting to so trickery.
With this thought, Yuan Lin’s figure flashed, and he lunged towards Li Hua, the weakest among them.
The mont Yuan Lin moved, Chen Shi and the others sensed sothing was amiss. But Yuan Lin was a seventh-layer Essence Storage Realm master, his strength far surpassing theirs. By the ti they noticed, Yuan Lin was already beside Li Hua.
"Li Hua, be careful!" Chen Shi shouted anxiously when he realized Yuan Lin was targeting Li Hua.
Hearing Chen Shi’s shout, Li Hua finally shifted her dazed gaze from Luo Feng.
Looking at the ferocious Yuan Lin before her, Li Hua’s pretty face filled with panic. Her eyes widened, and she found herself unable to move.
"Hehe, Li Hua, co with !" Yuan Lin chuckled wickedly, his eyes glinting with lewdness as he looked at Li Hua’s panicked expression.
Seeing Yuan Lin so close, Li Hua was so frightened she lost all color. She collapsed onto the ground, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.
Yuan Lin was a notorious scoundrel in Giant Stone City. She knew very well the fate of girls who fell into his hands.
Helpless and desperate, an image of a young man with a saber on his back suddenly flashed through Li Hua’s mind.
This thought had just arisen when she imdiately dismissed it.
I treated him so badly before, why would he save ...
Regretting her foolishness, just as remorse filled her heart, she suddenly heard a faint dragon’s roar from the forest. The figure of the saber-bearing young man appeared before her, seemingly out of nowhere.
"People from the Duanmu Family are indeed a bunch of shaless curs!"
Luo Feng snorted coldly. Before his voice faded, his gaze turned sharp. He threw a punch, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, striking out fiercely.
BOOM!
The fist, emanating a terrifying aura, rcilessly slamd into Yuan Lin’s chest under his horrified gaze.
CRACK!
Yuan Lin’s Protective Gang Energy shattered instantly. His eyes bulged, and his entire chest caved in. He spat out a mouthful of blood as he flew backward, hitting the ground violently, mangled beyond recognition.
Looking at Yuan Lin, who lay lifeless on the ground, Chen Shi and the others couldn’t help but feel a chill creep into their hearts.
Luo Feng glanced at the corpse on the ground, flicked a drop of blood from his finger, and then turned to Chen Shi. "Uncle Chen Shi, I hope you won’t spread a word about what happened today."
Chen Shi, recovering from his shock, solemnly replied, "Luo Feng, rest assured. We will not utter a single word about this to anyone else!"
Luo Feng nodded and said no more.
Spreading news of this incident would only bring them harm, not benefits. In truth, even without his reminder, they wouldn’t go around gossiping.
Leading a horse from nearby, Luo Feng didn’t look back at Li Hua, who was still paralyzed with fear on the ground. He mounted, bid Chen Shi farewell from horseback, and then galloped towards Giant Stone City.
Watching the departing figure of the young man on horseback, Li Hua, still sitting on the ground, finally jolted back to her senses. "Thank you..." she whispered, her voice trembling slightly.
「...」
After leaving the Red Chain Mountain Range, Giant Stone City was only several hundred li away.
Luo Feng rode without stopping. Around noon, after passing a cluster of mountains, the silhouette of a city appeared in his vision.
Under the bright sunlight, a city stood tall amidst the mountains.
The city walls, built from massive blocks of mountain stone, rose over ten zhang high. They glittered golden in the sunlight, like a colossal giant standing amidst the mountains, imposing and majestic.
"Finally here," Luo Feng let out a breath of turbid air, following the flow of people towards the city gate.
After paying the entrance fee, Luo Feng entered the city smoothly.
Inside, tall stone buildings rose from the ground, grand and imposing. Martial Artists, ard with weapons, ca and went endlessly on the streets.
Luo Feng had already witnessed the prosperity of Wind Howl City, so he wasn’t particularly surprised.
After walking through a few streets and familiarizing himself with the surroundings, Luo Feng stood at a street corner. After a mont’s thought, he stopped a middle-aged Martial Artist and asked for the location of the Green Wood Trading Co.
"Is this your first ti in Giant Stone City?" the middle-aged Martial Artist asked with a smile.
"How did you know?"
The middle-aged Martial Artist chuckled. "Anyone who has been to Giant Stone City even once would know of the Green Wood Trading Co."
He turned, pointed towards the city center, and said, "See that tallest building? That’s the Green Wood Trading Co."
Luo Feng looked in the direction the man indicated. In the center of the city, a magnificent building dozens of ters tall rose from the ground, extrely eye-catching.
Truly worthy of being the Green Wood Trading Co., Luo Feng smiled faintly and handed the horse’s reins to the middle-aged Martial Artist. "This horse is yours."
The Martial Artist was stunned. Looking at the fine steed beside him, he asked in disbelief, "For ?"
This black-maned horse was exceptionally spirited, with bright eyes and powerful, bulging muscles on its sturdy legs. Such a magnificent steed could fetch at least one to two hundred thousand silver, a considerable sum for an ordinary Martial Artist.
Luo Feng didn’t answer, just waved his hand and walked towards the Green Wood Trading Co. This horse was just sothing he’d acquired for temporary transportation; there was no use keeping it.
Only when Luo Feng’s figure was about to disappear did the middle-aged Martial Artist recover from his imnse surprise, waving and shouting, "Thank you, little brother!"
After turning through a few streets, Luo Feng walked slowly along the wide avenue. A short while later, he arrived in front of the magnificent building in the city center. The first thing that caught his eye were four large golden characters above the entrance:
"Green Wood Trading Co."
Luo Feng observed that the entrance to Green Wood Trading Co. was heavily guarded. A dozen or so guards, exuding vitality and fierceness with their bulging temples, flanked the entrance. They were all God Bravery Realm Stage Six masters. Nearby, a late-stage Essence Storage Realm Stage Seven martial artist was also stationed, keeping watch.
Truly befitting the Duanmu Family.
Glancing at the guards, Luo Feng curled his lip and walked over with the flow of people.
"Token!" a guard barked, angling his spear to block Luo Feng’s path as he approached the trading company’s entrance.
Token? Luo Feng thought. Only then did he notice that everyone entering would produce a token representing their identity.
Seeing Luo Feng hesitate to produce a token, the guard frowned and berated him, "If you don’t have a token, then scram! This isn’t a place for bottom-tier Martial Artists like you!"
Luo Feng retorted with a cold snort, "Hmph! Who says I don’t have one?" Internally furious, he rummaged through his storage ring and produced the Red Sun Order Yang Wanyi had given him. "Open your dog eyes wide and see clearly what this is!"
The guard, hearing Luo Feng’s curse, was about to flare up when his gaze fell on the Red Sun Order in Luo Feng’s hand. His lips trembled, and he swallowed the rest of his words.
"This is the Dayang Comrce Alliance’s VIP Red Sun Order!"
Licking his lips, the guard imdiately adopted a subservient posture, saying with fear and trepidation, "So, it’s a VIP from the Dayang Comrce Alliance! I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai!"
The Dayang Comrce Alliance’s influence even surpassed that of the Duanmu Family. Anyone capable of obtaining their VIP Red Sun Order undoubtedly held a significant status. The mont the guard saw the Red Sun Order, he was nearly scared out of his wits.
Luo Feng, seeing the guard’s sycophantic change in attitude, felt contempt and said coldly, "Don’t judge a book by its cover. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am."
"Yes! I will heed your esteed instruction," the guard, pale-faced with fright, nodded and agreed.
Luo Feng snorted coldly again and turned to walk into the Green Wood Trading Co.
I didn’t expect this token to be so useful.
Looking at the Red Sun Order in his hand, Luo Feng shook his head and smiled, then put the token away.
Entering the trading company, Luo Feng looked around.
The trading company’s interior was opulently decorated. The walls were inlaid with Luminous Pearls and various other gemstones, appearing extrely extravagant.
Giant display shelves lined the hall, showcasing all sorts of rchandise. Beautiful attendants, their movents stirring gusts of fragrant wind, shuttled back and forth.
"Young Master, may I ask what you need?" a soft, sweet voice sounded beside him as a beautiful attendant approached Luo Feng and asked respectfully.
Luo Feng’s gaze swept across the hall as he asked casually, "Where does your Green Wood Trading Co. keep its most prized treasure?"
