Urban All-Round Master

As the green wave of air drew near, Lin Zifeng’s recently relaxed face twisted with tension, watching the brilliance underneath the Transmission Array about to reach its peak, he pounded the ground with his fists and shouted, ”Transmission Array, hurry up!”

”Buzz...”

A muffled sound, like deep thunder, emanated from the clearing where the Transmission Array was located. In an instant, the place was illuminated as bright as day, but just as quickly, the light dimmed again.

As the thunderous sound faded, the green wave of air unleashed by the Green-clothed Venerable blasted down dozens of towering trees in the distance, sending dust and echoes that frightened the birds and beasts in the forest into frantic escape.

After a long while, the clearing finally returned to calm, with only the sound of the Green-clothed Venerable’s tightly clenched fists emitting a menacing crackling sound, standing out sharply in the silent woods.

”Ah... an extraordinary shame, I can’t believe this Venerable has let two ants escape!”

The Green-clothed Venerable roared towards the sky with a twisted expression, his body surrounded by thick Elemental Power stirred by anger and loss of control, making his green robe sound fiercely, and the thought of tearing Lin Zifeng to shreds became evident through his shout...

At this moment, in a clearing, about two meters above the ground, the air suddenly distorted, revealing streaks of azure blue fractures, accompanied by sharp tearing sounds.

”Thud...”

An azure blue portal appeared, and Lin Zifeng’s figure fell out of it, landing on the ground, eyes tightly shut, face upward, the fall from two meters high made the sword-like eyebrow above his forehead furrow tighter.

The air was peaceful, even the trees here were more lush and green than those of the Beiyao Ancient Clan, showing vitality. But hiding behind this seemingly idyllic scenery, were numerous dangers, a moment of inattention, and life could be lost.

After a while, a gentle ray of sunlight poured down, shining on Lin Zifeng’s sharply outlined face, seemingly dazzling, Lin Zifeng furrowed his brow a few times before slowly opening his eyes.

Seeing the sunlight filtering through the dense leaves before his eyes, Lin Zifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he’d managed to escape, and he attempted to get up.

”Crack...”

As soon as he tried to rise, piercing sounds emanated from the veins all over Lin Zifeng’s body, and his face twisted from pain, a cold sweat suddenly emerging.

”Master Zifeng... don’t move, you’re badly injured now!”

The concern in Mu Ruoyun’s voice warmed Lin Zifeng’s heart, her gentle smile persuading him to lie back down, struggling to turn his head to scan the surroundings, yet no matter how he tried, he couldn’t find Dongfang Ziyue’s graceful figure.

”Ruoyun, what’s going on, where is Dongfang Ziyue!?”

Unable to find Dongfang Ziyue, Lin Zifeng became anxious, having promised Dongka to bring Dongfang Ziyue out safely, could it be that only he managed to escape, while Dongfang Ziyue was still trapped in the Beiyao Ancient Clan!?

Thinking of this, Lin Zifeng, anxious, disregarded his injuries and prepared to stand up to search, but Mu Ruoyun’s slightly awkward tone halted his movement: ”Um, Dongfang Ziyue is fine, she also teleported to the Demon Beast Forest.”

Upon hearing this news, Lin Zifeng had just let out a sigh of relief when Mu Ruoyun’s abrupt words startled him, his face showing shock: ”But where she teleported to... I don’t know.”

Not knowing!

How is this possible, at that time he and Dongfang Ziyue were both within the Transmission Array, logically the teleportation location should be close, Mu Ruoyun should have known, why was it like this!?

As if reading Lin Zifeng’s thoughts, Mu Ruoyun explained soothingly: ”Remember the green wave of air the Green-clothed was releasing just as the Transmission Array was about to activate?”

Nodding his head, Mu Ruoyun continued, ”Yes, that wave was extremely dangerous, had the Transmission Array delayed for an instant longer, it might have struck you, Master Zifeng.”

Switching tones, her voice was tinged with regret, ”But even still, the power of a Thunder Tribulation Expert was strong enough to disrupt the Transmission Array’s Time Order, at that moment, to ensure safety, I could only protect you, Master Zifeng, by tele-porting you to relatively safe grounds.”

”As for Dongfang Ziyue... I’m sorry, I really did my best.”

Noticing Mu Ruoyun’s apologetic tone, Lin Zifeng couldn’t help feeling a jolt in his heart, realizing that thanks to Mu Ruoyun’s covert help, he managed to teleport safely here.

Knowing the dangers of the Demon Beast Forest, Lin Zifeng was aware that he was in a state of unconsciousness for quite some time, yet no Spiritual Beasts sought him out, it could be said Mu Ruoyun had invisibly saved his life once more!

Since this was the case, how could Lin Zifeng blame Mu Ruoyun even a bit? Immediately, Lin Zifeng sighed deeply, showing a slight smile, and comforted: ”Ruoyun, I don’t blame you, on the contrary, I want to thank you, if it wasn’t for you, Dongfang Ziyue and I might have died at the hands of that old Green-clothed fellow.”

”In the future, let’s not dwell on such formalities, Dongfang Ziyue... must fend for herself now.”

Truthfully, Lin Zifeng had already gone above and beyond, he had promised Dongfang Ziyue to destroy the Human Sacrifice Tower, doing all for finding his mother’s whereabouts, and this trip to the Beiyao Ancient Clan was a perilous one, where he almost lost his life in that damned place.

Rarely seeing Lin Zifeng speak so gently, Mu Ruoyun felt warmth creeping in, her pleasing voice full of tenderness, making Lin Zifeng forget his pain for a moment: ”Master Zifeng, don’t move yet, let me heal your injuries first, you were truly daring to withstand the blow from a Thunder Tribulation Expert.”

”Hehe...”

With no words, Lin Zifeng twisted his head, forced to smile awkwardly, feeling the damaged veins all over his body slowly recovering.

After a while, feeling his injuries had mostly healed, Lin Zifeng sighed deeply, turning over and standing up.

”Whew... such abundant Elemental Power, truly worthy of the Demon Beast Forest.”

Having survived a disaster, Lin Zifeng’s mood was exceptionally good, closing his eyes, his sharp senses captured the thick Elemental Power contained in the air, showcasing a few shares of enjoyment on his angular face.

”Indeed, the air in the inner area is rich with Elemental Power, so the Spiritual Beasts here are quite formidable.”

Quite formidable indeed...

Initially enjoying, Lin Zifeng’s face turned dark upon hearing this, gritting his teeth internally: ”Ruoyun, are you thinking of changing owners?”

”No? Why would you say something like that, Master Zifeng?”

Helplessly rubbing his forehead, Lin Zifeng cursed inwardly: ”Then teleporting me into the inner area of the Demon Beast Forest, are you trying to get me killed!?”

The Demon Beast Forest, even its outer area is a perilous life-and-death situation for Lin Zifeng; as for the inner area, unless those Spiritual Beasts don’t fancy human flesh...
