"You!!"
Before the man could express his surprise, Ye Feng moved, stepping directly onto him. He said coldly, "From now on, I don't want to hear any nonsense. I'll ask, you'll answer. Understand?"
"Impossible, even if you..."
Before he could finish, a cracking sound echoed. Ye Feng stomped directly on the man's hand, shattering all the bones. Screams erupted.
Ah~~
Ye Feng's expression was blank. He said coldly, "I ask you, where is the woman who was with me? What did you do to her?"
Upon hearing this, the man tried to hold out, but feeling the intense pain, he could only nod. "She, she ran away. We don't know where she went. Please, spare me!!"
"Ran away?" Ye Feng was relieved. He continued coldly, "Next question, what were you talking about with those two just now?"
"This..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the man's face instantly changed, as if it were something unspeakable.
But soon, when he saw Ye Feng's icy gaze, he could only nod. "Yes, the commander is preparing to abandon Lost City and escape by ship..."
"What? Abandon Lost City?"
Ye Feng's expression changed. He said coldly, "What do you mean? There are so many people in Lost City, how do you plan to escape? That ship probably can't carry so many people at once!"
"This, this..."
At this point, the man's face turned pale again, sweat dripping down in large drops. However, he gritted his teeth and said, "The commander plans to take only us out. The rest of the people will be..."
Hearing this, Ye Feng knew he didn't need to listen further. His expression was extremely grim. He hadn't expected Fan Lie, the commander of Lost City's defense, to be so beastly.
However, Ye Feng quickly suppressed his anger. These were not things he could concern himself with. With his current strength, he could at most spread this news and could do nothing else.
The priority now was to find Le Yao and Luo Bing Shuang.
With this thought, Ye Feng immediately walked towards the rooms ahead. He believed that if that woman Le Yao wasn't foolish, she wouldn't have left directly.
At the same time, seeing Ye Feng walk forward like this, the city guard captain's eyes sank. While Ye Feng wasn't paying attention, he suddenly slashed with his saber.
"Die, kid!!"
Swish!!
The moment the words fell, a whistling sound also echoed.
Then, to the man's shocked gaze, a thin ice needle had appeared before him at some unknown time, piercing directly through his chest.
Thump!
A thudding sound followed. The man died on the spot. Before dying, he was still shocked, never expecting that Ye Feng had already foreseen his intentions.
Upon arriving at the room, as Ye Feng expected, he quickly found two words in a hidden spot under the table: Hai Di!!
"What does this mean? Has this woman already left the city?"
Ye Feng was somewhat surprised by the woman's methods. After all, the outside was surrounded by dark creatures, yet she managed to get out. This woman was indeed not simple.
But it was good that she got out. Ye Feng was no longer worried about her.
The only problem now was how he was going to get to Sui Ling Island.
Since Fan Lie and the others were planning to escape by ship, and their destination was naturally not Sui Ling Island, Ye Feng had to persuade Geng Nian to go to Sui Ling Island with him.
With this thought, Ye Feng immediately changed into the city guard captain's clothes from before. After having Xiao Hei destroy the bodies of the few people with Dragon Breath, he then rushed towards where Geng Nian was.
As soon as he stepped out the door, he was met by over a dozen burly men.
Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately thought of something and said, "The commander has ordered that Lost City will be abandoned soon. Everyone, pack your belongings immediately. The commander will lead everyone to escape by ship!!"
"What? Lost City is to be abandoned?"
Upon hearing this, their faces changed, and some couldn't believe it. "How, how can that be? The defensive formation hasn't been broken yet, why are we escaping?"
"Yes, yes, are you mistaken? Lost City is where we have lived for generations, how can it be abandoned just like that?"
"No, that's right..."
Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately said coldly, "Hmph, believe it or not. I've already spread the word. If anyone is not there on time, don't blame us for not saving you!!"
With that, Ye Feng turned and left without further ado.
Afterward, every person he met, he passed on this news. For a time, the entire Lost City was in turmoil.
Meanwhile, within the guard team, Geng Nian sat in his seat with a grim expression. Fan Lie's plan had just been conveyed; they planned to depart tomorrow.
To be honest, Geng Nian strongly opposed this approach. However, no matter how much he opposed it, he couldn't stop it. Compared to the strength of the city defense, the guard team was insignificant.
Of course, most importantly, after witnessing the terror of the Heavenly Human realm monster just now, many people in the guard team had also wavered.
After all, no one wanted to die here if they could live. If they left now, there was still a chance. Once Lost City was breached, there would be no chance at all.
While he was thinking, there was a sudden noise from outside the door, and then a member of the guard team walked in. "Reporting to the captain, someone from the city defense is requesting an audience outside."
"City defense?"
Upon hearing this, Geng Nian thought it was someone sent by Fan Lie, and his expression was somewhat displeased.
However, when he clearly saw the face of the person, his expression instantly changed. It was Ye Feng.
"Kid, it's you, you're not dead?"
Geng Nian was very surprised. He had heard about the situation that day and thought Ye Feng had already died outside. He didn't expect him to be fine.
"Yes!" Ye Feng nodded and said, "I have something I want to discuss with Captain Geng. Are you interested?"
"What is it?" Geng Nian gestured for his subordinate to leave, then turned to Ye Feng. "Kid, since you're not dead, you shouldn't have come back. If you do this, Fan Lie won't let you go."
A few days ago, due to the rules and restrictions of Lost City, Fan Lie didn't dare to fall out completely. But now that Lost City was about to be breached, and the city lord was also out of contact, Fan Lie was no longer restrained.
Ye Feng naturally knew this. He said, "I know all of this, but what I care about now is, I heard that you are already planning to abandon Lost City?"
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Geng Nian's expression became somewhat strange. However, before he could speak, Ye Feng continued, "Then do you know how you plan to deal with the hundreds of thousands of people in the city? Are you planning to leave them to their fate, or something else?"
As he said this, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, and a faint anger emerged from him.
Seeing this, Geng Nian's brows furrowed deeply. "Kid, I know you're very angry about this, but to be honest, this is not something I can decide, so no matter how angry you are, it's useless!"
"Heh heh, I naturally know that!" Ye Feng smiled faintly, then uttered a sentence that shocked Geng Nian...
507
"To be honest, I don't care about the lives and deaths of the people in Lost City. I'm only here to make a deal with you!" Ye Feng said, narrowing his eyes.
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Geng Nian was instantly extremely surprised and looked at Ye Feng, frowning. "Kid, what kind of deal do you want to make?"
"It's very simple!" Ye Feng raised his eyebrows. "I can help you take everyone out of Lost City, and as a bargaining chip, you must take me to Sui Ling Island again!!"
"Sui Ling Island?" Geng Nian was surprised, not understanding. "Kid, why are you going to Sui Ling Island? Didn't you just return from there?"
"You don't need to worry about that. I just need you to take me there!" Ye Feng said faintly.
However, upon hearing this, Geng Nian shook his head and smiled. "Heh heh, kid, taking you there is not difficult, but how can I believe that you can take so many people out?"
"Also, even if you have this ability, do you think Fan Lie will give you this opportunity? Not to mention anything else, if I tell him about your appearance, you will surely die!!"
Geng Nian stared intently at Ye Feng. To be honest, he didn't believe Ye Feng had the ability, after all, he was only at the middle stage of the Grandmaster realm.
"Heh heh, I naturally have a way to take you out. You can rest assured about this, otherwise, I wouldn't have come back alive from outside, right!"
Ye Feng smiled faintly and said, "As for Fan Lie, this requires Captain Geng's cooperation. As long as you agree, I will have a way to deal with him!"
"You can deal with Fan Lie?"
Upon hearing this, Geng Nian looked at Ye Feng as if he had heard a joke, with disbelief in his eyes. "Kid, do you know the strength of the half-step Heavenly Human realm?"
"Let alone your mere middle-stage Grandmaster, even a peak Grandmaster cannot do anything to him. How can you deal with him?"
This was not Geng Nian looking down on Ye Feng, but rather that as soon as the words "Heavenly Human" were involved, the strength was already extraordinary. He couldn't believe how a middle-stage Grandmaster could have the courage to say such a thing.
Seeing this, Ye Feng stopped talking nonsense. His entire aura surged and pressed towards Geng Nian.
"Hmm? Late-stage Grandmaster?"
Geng Nian suddenly showed a surprised expression, somewhat disbelieving. He remembered that the first time he saw Ye Feng, this kid was only at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm. Now he had reached the late stage of the Grandmaster realm?
However, he didn't know that Ye Feng was coming to the Silent Soul Land for the first time and could continuously improve his cultivation by refining dead energy.
Unlike them, who had cultivated in the Silent Soul Land for many years, the dead energy had very little effect on them.
More importantly, Ye Feng had also absorbed the spiritual liquid pool, so it was normal for his cultivation to improve so quickly.
And this was still because he had deliberately suppressed his cultivation. Otherwise, with the dead energy he had refined these past few days, it could be even higher.
However, seeing this, Geng Nian still shook his head. "Heh heh, useless kid, even if you reach the late stage of the Grandmaster realm, you are still no match for Fan Lie. It's just a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng smiled faintly, knowing that this was not enough for Geng Nian to choose him. However, then, he whispered something in Geng Nian's ear.
After hearing it, Geng Nian's entire face changed instantly.
"Then what if I am the descendant of the Sea God?"
Ye Feng said faintly.
As soon as the words fell, the next moment, Geng Nian looked as if he had heard some earth-shattering secret, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"How is that possible? Kid, you, you are the descendant of the Sea God? How is this possible? Why should I believe you? How can you prove it?" Geng Nian asked in disbelief.
Hearing this, Ye Feng smiled faintly and stopped talking nonsense. He immediately said, "It's very simple. If I guessed correctly, the cultivation technique you are practicing should be the Cang Lang Jue left by the Sea God back then, right? I have this cultivation technique!!"
Saying that, Ye Feng slowly took out a cultivation technique filled with a sense of history from the space of the Ding Shui Pearl. This was obtained from the Sea God's treasure he found on Earth.
Besides various high-level spirit stones, the Sea God's treasure also included countless cultivation techniques and martial arts. This Cang Lang Jue was one of them.
"You!!"
Looking at the tattered cultivation technique before him, Geng Nian's entire body showed a look of horror, because he found that the Cang Lang Jue Ye Feng took out was more complete than the one he was cultivating.
"How is this possible? Could it be that this kid is really the descendant of the Sea God?"
Geng Nian suddenly thought of the scene a few days ago when they encountered the Bi Xie in the sea, and for a moment, he became uncertain.
Seeing this, Ye Feng continued, "Since you have cultivated the Cang Lang Jue, your ancestors must have had some connection with the Sea God, right? I wonder if you can feel this?"
As he spoke, the Sea God's trident in Ye Feng's brow immediately emitted waves of Sea God's power, surging towards Geng Nian, causing the latter's expression to change drastically.
This young man before him was indeed the descendant of the Sea God!!
After a brief period of thought, Geng Nian directly made a decision that even surprised Ye Feng. He actually knelt respectfully before Ye Feng.
"Geng Nian, the fifth thousand five hundredth generation descendant of the Geng family, the Sea God's guard in Lost City, welcomes the Sea God!"
Geng Nian knelt on one knee, respectfully speaking to Ye Feng, and at the same time, his expression instantly changed from shock to boundless joy.
Ten thousand years ago, the Geng family, as one of the two great guard families under the Sea God, helped the Sea God suppress the dark creatures of the Silent Soul Land and establish countless cities, achieving great feats.
However, just when they thought the Sea God would take them away from the Silent Soul Land, the Sea God suddenly disappeared without a trace.
On that day, the entire Silent Soul Land, with its billions of people, cried out in silence and despair.
But just when everyone thought the Sea God had met with an accident and perished, only the two great guard families always believed that the Sea God would return again and lead them out of the Silent Soul Land.
It was just that they waited for ten thousand years.
For ten thousand years, Geng Nian's ancestors died generation after generation, and by his generation, they were almost extinct.
He thought that they would not be able to wait for the Sea God's return even if they died, but he did not expect that Ye Feng was the descendant of the Sea God!!
For a time, Geng Nian's joy was beyond words. They had waited for ten thousand years, and they had finally waited!!
Seeing Geng Nian's excited demeanor, Ye Feng was also very surprised. He revealed his identity as the descendant of the Sea God just to get Geng Nian to help him deal with Fan Lie.
He didn't expect that his ancestors actually had a connection with the Sea God, and judging by his appearance, this connection was not simple.
However, just as Ye Feng was curious about what this Sea God's guard was, Geng Nian said, "Sea God, since you have returned, I will immediately spread the news of your arrival. I believe that Fan Lie would not dare to lay a hand on you!!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng shook his head. "Wait, don't alert the enemy yet. Keep my identity a secret for now. Moreover, I have a plan..."
Saying that, Ye Feng whispered his plan into Geng Nian's ear. After hearing it, Geng Nian's entire face changed...
