Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 855: Chapter 654: Lin Feng’s Departure and Hong Yi’s Decision

At home for a full three months, Lin Feng departed quietly, leaving only a farewell text to everyone.

In these three months, he had already made the necessary arrangements.

Some matters, no matter how thoroughly considered, cannot cover every aspect.

Moreover, everyone has their own thoughts and goals, and their own life’s path, overly deliberate arrangements sometimes do more harm than good.

After becoming King, even with the help of He Jun’s sacrificial abilities, the improvement in strength was very limited.

Most of the members of the Avengers Alliance had become Kings, and those who hadn’t, also had a certain level of self-defense ability.

Continuing to act as a team would be more disadvantageous than beneficial.

Although acting together as an alliance could even rival Emperors, their fame now made them a too obvious target.

Too much attention means security is not guaranteed.

With their current strength, they can indeed resist Emperors, but cannot guarantee there will be no casualties on their side; if facing two Emperors or a team led by an Emperor, they could only flee.

Moreover, if there are too many people, resources won’t be enough to share.

Developing individually in different fields and positions is the only way to gain more resources.

Once all members of the alliance have established their ground and formed their own forces, in a few years they can reunite, and that will be the time when the Avengers Alliance can roam the world with no worries.

Before dawn, Lin Feng hadn’t slept all night. He stood silently in the room, gazing at the closed door, his eyes showing some reluctance. A few minutes later, he suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Leaving behind only a pale blue, almost transparent bubble.

”Pop”

As the marble-sized bubble burst, making a slight sound, the room fell into dead silence.

Lin Feng hated the atmosphere of departure, which made him very uncomfortable, so he chose to leave without saying goodbye.

Three hours later, footsteps and the sound of a spatula clattering against a frying pan echoed.

”Mom, brother is gone.”

A sudden cry came from the room. Ma Lele, who went to wake her brother in the morning, saw the note left on the bed and immediately cried out in sorrow.

Lin Kerou, who rushed over, also had reddened eyes, gently rubbing her sister’s cheek.

Lin Fang and Old Ma also had tears in their eyes.

With Lin Feng’s departure, the originally warm family atmosphere instantly vanished.

Lin Feng did not inform his family that he was leaving for the Pure Land, and they did not know what the Pure Land represented, they only knew Lin Feng was striving to become stronger.

They could not hold him back.

And upon receiving Lin Feng’s farewell text, which consisted of only the words ”I’m gone,” Yun Kai and the others were somewhat caught off guard, feeling a mix of sadness and resentment.

In these days, although Lin Feng hadn’t cut off contact with them, he had been staying at home, like an introverted recluse who wouldn’t go out no matter what.

They knew the day of separation was coming, but they thought there would at least be a farewell party; they didn’t expect Lin Feng to skip even that.

Red Flag District.

This is the district where major officials in Shangjing and their families live, less than a kilometer away in a straight line from the Guardian Divine Artifact, with Guardians stationed at all times, making it one of the safest places in Shangjing besides within the Guardian Divine Artifact itself.

At this moment, Hong Yi’s family lived in this district.

The arrangement was also to prevent surveillance from Hong Tao.

No matter how reckless Hong Tao was, he didn’t dare to cause trouble here.

After receiving the message of Lin Feng’s departure, Hong Yi, who had been chatting and laughing with her brother, showed a slight change in expression.

Even though she had expected this, Lin Feng had informed her half a month ago, telling her that he had already warned Hong Tao, so she should rest assured.

But even so, she still felt uneasy and fearful, even shivering slightly.

”Sister, what’s wrong?”

Seeing his sister’s change in expression and unease, Hong Fei hesitated for a second or two before asking worriedly.

”It’s nothing.”

Hong Yi slightly shook her head, her lips curving back into a smile, not telling her brother about Lin Feng’s departure, as she didn’t want to worry him and their parents.

”I’ll be going out later, you stay at home and behave.” Hong Yi said.

”Where are you going?”

Hong Fei asked anxiously.

Having barely reunited, he didn’t want to be separated from his sister.

”To meet up with Yun Kai and the others, some of them are leaving.”

Hong Yi patted her brother’s head, not explaining further.

Hong Fei seemed to have guessed something, but didn’t ask more.

Hong Yi pulled out her phone, fingers moving slightly, her gaze somewhat hesitant, but soon, it became gradually resolute.

She also didn’t want to be apart from her family, but had no choice.

In the Avengers Alliance, Lin Feng’s importance as a leader was unquestionable.

His departure had a significant impact on the small team.

Although the Avengers Alliance still had ten Kings in Shangjing, so what, without Lin Feng, facing Hong Tao’s dominance, who would dare to truly make a move?

Even if they take action, how many people can survive?

Lin Feng is gone, and without hesitation, Hong Tao might make a move on her.

Although this is just a possibility, she doesn’t dare to gamble.

If she loses the gamble, she will truly have nothing, unable to recover.

If she doesn’t leave, her family’s situation will be even more perilous.

After comforting her younger brother for a while, Hong Yi put on a baseball cap, said a word to her parents, and then left the house.

Walking in the district, Hong Yi could vaguely feel herself being locked on by three lines of sight.

One of the strongest sights came from the Guardian Divine Artifact ’Venus’ overhead, another from the Guardian of the Red Flag District, and an unclear sight from somewhere else, making her feel a chill on her back.

Hong Yi knew that there was a good chance this person was sent by Hong Tao.

”At least a Middle Rank King, or even an Upper Rank.”

Hong Yi’s expression remained unchanged, but she was secretly alert.

This sight had vaguely appeared since she entered the district, and the other party didn’t seem to conceal it much.

It had been less than ten minutes since she received Lin Feng’s message, and the news of Lin Feng’s departure would surely not have spread by now, so she had to react quickly.

Arriving on the bustling streets, Hong Yi looked around, and a faint trickle of fine sand fell silently from her palm to the ground, spreading quietly, yet she still couldn’t find the person monitoring her, but the feeling of being watched persisted, even more clearly since she left the district.

”There are people everywhere, go where there are many people.”

Pressing down the cap brim, Hong Yi quickened her pace into the crowd, knowing that in such a complex environment, the other party, even with the intention, wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

Of course, that is provided Hong Tao doesn’t come.

Once Hong Tao comes, her trump card ’Sha Mi’ will also be unusable.

Ten minutes later, Hong Yi arrived at a café.

Inside the elegantly decorated café, soft music lingered in the air, and a young man in a white suit, seemingly thirty years old, stood up slowly, waving gracefully to the girl at the door.

Hong Yi walked into the café, the cool temperature slightly calming her previously anxious mood.

”Miss Hong Yi, please have a seat.”

The man graciously pulled out a chair for Hong Yi with a brilliant smile.

His tall frame, handsome face, and elegant demeanor attracted many ladies’ gazes.

Or to be more precise, since the young man entered the café, most of the ladies couldn’t help but set their sights on him.

”So handsome!”

”A domineering CEO type, I like it.”

”Not just a domineering CEO, that build, it may not look strong, but it’s definitely got that slim waist.”

The muttering and gasping that came intermittently didn’t elicit any reaction from the man; it seemed as if Hong Yi was the only one he saw, making many girls secretly envious, shifting their gazes to Hong Yi.

In their eyes, Hong Yi seemed utterly plain, lacking beauty or figure.

”Must be a younger sister.”

Someone whispered, garnering a lot of agreement.

”Thank you.”

Hong Yi nodded slightly and sat down; she was a bit unaccustomed.

”I ordered you a cup of latte in advance with a hint of jasmine; I didn’t know your taste, but see if you like it?”

The young man said with a smile.

”Thank you.”

Hong Yi slightly bowed her head in thanks, appearing a bit reticent, not out of deliberate concealment, but because of her upbringing, she was not accustomed to, nor did she like, interacting with strangers.

Of course, the Avengers Alliance was an exception.

As for the coffee, she didn’t drink it.

Outside, easily drinking someone else’s offering was a foolish move, even with her constitution and Sha Mi, which could resist most poisons.

The young man didn’t mind Hong Yi’s aloofness, continuing to smile, ”It’s just a cup of coffee, no need to be so polite.”

As he spoke, his gaze discreetly swept over Hong Yi.

A being like her father he encountered for the first time.

The Sha Mi inside Hong Yi was even stronger than the Celestial Chart Demon Beast within her father.

Such an enviable existence!

Though not yet a King, she had abilities even the Emperor would fear.

No wonder his father was so interested in her and sent him personally.

To know, even with his status, he was still far from qualifying to be an Apostle in the short term.

”Have you decided?” the young man asked.

He noticed Hong Yi’s sensitive and solitary nature and realized she seemed uninterested in him, so he dispensed with further pleasantries, getting straight to the point.

Hong Yi raised her head, nodded, and said, ”Yes, I am willing to join the Pure Land and become an Apostle of the Spirit Celestial King.”
