Chapter 2414: Chapter 2413: Something’s Wrong
Ling Feng nodded, "That’s right, I was thinking the same thing."
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu, "But there are always exceptions, we can’t be too careless, especially you two, everyone at Lingjian Mountain knows you are with me. If someone really wants to harm me, I’m afraid you’ll be implicated!"
With that, Mu Mu immediately laughed.
Then she said to Ling Feng, "Brother, you’re underestimating us. Don’t forget what my ability is, there’s no one here at Lingjian Mountain I’m afraid of!"
"I know that, but don’t be too careless, make sure to protect Xiao Xiao!" Ling Feng said.
"Okay, I’ll remember!"
Mu Mu nodded and then asked, "Brother, today our new store is expanding. We’re having an opening ceremony, do you want to go?"
"I’ll pass, too many people makes it chaotic. I need to stay home and wait for Feiyan," Ling Feng said.
"Oh, alright then. But don’t forget, those rare earth mines are ready for extraction," Xiao Xiao reminded.
"Okay, I’ll go back another day to find someone,"
Ling Feng nodded.
The gold mine over in Banan Country has been operating smoothly for a year, not only yielding a large amount of gold but also training a group of skilled miners. Nowadays, the Ling Corporation is not short of any kind of talent!
Go back and have Gu Li gather everyone, regardless of whether it’s machinery or manpower, they can all be assembled at once.
Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu soon set off for the store, while Ling Feng sat in the courtyard, brewing a cup of tea for himself, sipping it as he waited.
He thought for sure Feiyan would deliver the God Slayer Saber today, but there was no news all morning!
And by afternoon, it was Mo Yan who arrived, not Feiyan!
Seeing him, Ling Feng quickly invited him into the courtyard, then asked, "Brother Mo Yan, why have you come?"
"I came to check on you, and at the same time, ask about last night’s events," Mo Yan said.
Ling Feng let out a sound of acknowledgment, then asked, "Didn’t you already see what happened last night? What’s left to ask?"
"I just accidentally saw unusual lights flickering in the sky. I don’t know what exactly happened, so I wanted to ask you how you defeated those two guys back then!" Mo Yan said.
Ling Feng was momentarily stunned, his face showing no change but feeling somewhat strange inside.
What’s there to ask about this matter?
Nowadays, Ling Feng is no longer the naive youngster he once was. After quickly spinning through his thoughts, he smiled and said, "Those two were merely sneak attackers. In reality, they weren’t all that impressive. After avoiding their attack, I easily took them down!"
"Is that so?"
Mo Yan’s expression changed, "Then your skills are still quite strong!"
Ling Feng was taken aback again, "Why do you say that? Could it be that Brother Mo Yan knows who they are?"
"Yes!"
Unexpectedly, Mo Yan nodded, then solemnly said, "I won’t hide it from you; I’ve already reported to the Elder, and he told me where those two people come from. They’re black assassins!"
"What in the world is that?" Ling Feng asked.
"Black assassins aren’t people from our world; they’re from the upper space!"
Mo Yan said as he glanced up at the sky.
Ling Feng also looked up, then asked, "What do you mean? Are there other worlds beyond the heavens?"
"You don’t know, but this is something only a few in Lingjian Mountain are aware of. Now that I’ve told you, you mustn’t tell anyone else!" Mo Yan said.
"Alright!"
Ling Feng nodded.
Mo Yan hesitated for a moment, "The space we inhabit isn’t as simple as Lingjian Mountain and the Xuanling Realm. In reality, there are two higher spaces above us, one called the Dark Domain, and the other the Starlight Empire!"
"Oh? There are so many?"
Ling Feng feigned surprise, his eyes widening.
"That’s right!"
Mo Yan nodded, "These two worlds are much more formidable than our Lingjian Mountain. Even though black assassins from the Dark Domain are the lowest level, their strength is equivalent to a Third Grade Disciple. So, for you to have killed them, both I and the Elder find it strange."
Saying that, he seriously looked into Ling Feng’s eyes, "Brother, are you really not lying to me?"
"Of course not!"
Ling Feng, knowing he had misunderstood Mo Yan’s earlier question, still decided to play dumb, shaking his head, "I just used my skills to fight them, and easily killed them!"
"That is strange, it shouldn’t be that simple though."
Mo Yan commented, then looked up at Ling Feng, "This is a serious matter. The Elder has ordered Lingjian Mountain to enter a state of alert. If black assassins are discovered again, all disciples will be summoned immediately. You need to be prepared."
"Okay, I understand. I’ll definitely show up when needed!" Ling Feng said.
"Then I won’t disturb you any further."
Mo Yan said, then turned and left.
Ling Feng didn’t say much more and escorted him to the door.
After he left, Ling Feng returned to the courtyard and sat down, furrowing his brows tightly!
Although Mo Yan’s words were reasonable and he shared some confidential information with him, Ling Feng still felt the whole thing was increasingly odd!
The reason for hiding that he relied on the Blade of the Apocalypse to defeat the two black assassins was that Ling Feng felt that this wasn’t just a random event—someone was targeting him!
Of course, there was no solid evidence, just a gut feeling.
So Ling Feng kept it to himself, leaving room for backup.
He knew this wasn’t over yet; with two black assassins dead, the Dark Domain probably wouldn’t let this go.
As evening came, Ling Feng waited for Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu to return, but the sun went down and they still hadn’t come back.
Just as he was about to check on them, he saw shadows flash at the door, and the two girls came back.
Seeing them, Ling Feng quickly asked, "Why are you back so late today?"
"Almost finished, so we were delayed a bit," Xiao Xiao said.
Mu Mu looked at him, "Brother, you weren’t worried about us, were you? Afraid something happened?"
"There was a bit of that."
Ling Feng smiled, then said, "It’s fine as long as nothing happened!"
"Oh, I told you, no need to worry about us; if anyone dares to attack, I can turn them into jerky!" Mu Mu said.
"Alright, as long as you’re okay!"
Ling Feng smiled, then said, "It’s late, hurry and take a bath."
"Okay!"
The two girls nodded and walked to the back.
Ling Feng looked up at the sky, seeing no signs of anyone flying.
He thought to himself that it seemed Feiyan wouldn’t be coming today, so he decided to wait until tomorrow.
If she still doesn’t come tomorrow, he’ll have to go and see why the God Slayer Saber is taking so long!
