Chapter 1157: Coordination
The two men in black turned around and quickly rushed toward the back mountain.
Ling Feng saw this and immediately followed, the three of them finally arriving at the mountaintop of the back mountain.
There was an open clearing the size of a basketball court here. The two had already stopped, and Ling Feng also halted his steps. He then asked, "Alright, what do you want to talk about?"
"Please do not interfere with our operation here!" the woman said.
"Why?"
Ling Feng chuckled. "You Dongying people come to Huaxia to cause trouble, and I’m not allowed to intervene?"
"We’re not causing trouble. We’re here to investigate some historical records!" the woman explained.
"Really?"
Ling Feng was a little speechless. Since the woman’s face was covered, he couldn’t see her appearance, but from her eyes and figure, he could tell she was probably quite attractive.
He continued, "If it’s just investigating historical records, why not show your real face?"
After a pause, he added, "So secretive, you must have some unspeakable agenda. Do you take me for a fool?"
"I can only tell you that this isn’t what you think it is. We have no malicious intentions!" the woman said.
Ling Feng laughed again. "No malicious intentions?"
With a shrug, he sneered and asked, "Then why did your companions attack us with weapons the moment they saw us in the mountain?"
"Huh?"
The woman was clearly caught off guard by his question and froze for a moment!
At this moment, the man in black, who had been silent, spoke in a deep voice, "Those two acted against orders, that’s their own issue. We have no hostility towards anyone!"
The man’s voice sounded like that of a middle-aged man.
"Do you think I’ll believe that?"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "How conveniently they’re shirking responsibility!"
"It doesn’t matter whether you believe us or not. We’ve said what needs to be said. Still, I ask you not to interfere with us!" the man said.
"Sorry, but I can’t comply with that. Not only will I interfere with you today, but I’ll also take both of you to the security bureau for questioning!" Ling Feng declared.
"So you’re forcing us to make a move!" the man said.
Ling Feng smirked. "Then make your move! Who’s afraid of who?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man opposite him made his move.
Seeing the opponent charge at him barehanded, Ling Feng didn’t bother drawing the God Slayer Saber. Instead, he stood there leisurely. It was only when the man was close that he threw a punch!
"Bang!"
The opponent didn’t seem particularly skilled and couldn’t dodge at all, taking the punch squarely to the chest!
But at the same time, Ling Feng felt numbness in his hand!
"Hmm?"
Stunned for a moment, he noticed fine pinpricks of blood on his fingers!
"Haha! Surprised? Did you think punching me would be that easy? It was intentional!" the man in black laughed loudly.
Ling Feng didn’t feel pain in his hand, only a tingling and itchy sensation. He asked coldly, "What is this, poison?"
"That’s right, boy. You’ve got five minutes left to live. If you’ve got any last words, you’d better call your family now. As for those two ladies, you won’t be seeing them again!" the man sneered.
Ling Feng’s eyes narrowed, and a murderous intent surged in his heart. "What a vicious weapon!"
"I know you’re strong, kid. I only wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble," the man said smugly.
"Very well. Since you’re so ruthless, I see no need to waste more words!"
Ling Feng let out a cold laugh, sensing that the toxins in his body had already been automatically expelled by his cellular system, preventing any absorption.
With that, he unsheathed the God Slayer Saber and swung it in a flash.
The smug man hadn’t anticipated Ling Feng would still be able to attack. He froze in shock, only to feel a sudden chill in his chest!
The metallic spiked armor on his chest was slashed open, and a deep gash appeared across his chest and abdomen!
In just a moment of astonishment, the man’s body fell heavily to the ground, lifeless.
"Now it’s your turn. Do you want to fight me, or are you going to cooperate obediently?"
Seeing the woman remain motionless, Ling Feng asked coolly.
"I’m just an ordinary person. I can’t fight you," she said calmly.
Despite her companion’s death, the woman didn’t seem surprised or show any signs of sorrow, replying in a detached tone.
"An ordinary person? Then was it this man who used the Spirit Possession technique earlier?" Ling Feng asked coldly.
"I understand that technique, but your willpower is too strong. I couldn’t control you," the woman replied.
Ling Feng nodded. "At least you’re honest. Alright then, let’s go!"
The woman didn’t reply. After a moment of silence, she started walking down the mountain.
Ling Feng followed closely behind her, vigilant and fully focused on watching her every move to prevent any sudden attacks or bizarre attempts to escape.
To his surprise, the woman appeared to have truly given up resisting. She didn’t make a single move all the way to the base of the mountain.
The two of them entered the village and stopped in front of the old Li Family’s house.
"Go inside."
Seeing her turn back to look at him, Ling Feng said in a deep voice.
The woman said nothing and gently pushed the door open, entering the house.
When Ling Feng stepped inside, he saw that Chen Yan was already awake and dressed, sitting on the edge of the kang with Ye Qian.
The two women immediately stood up when they saw Ling Feng leading in a slender, well-dressed woman. Her attire made it clear what was going on.
The woman turned back to look at Ling Feng. "What’s next?"
"Sit down, take off your mask, and answer my questions!" Ling Feng ordered.
"Alright."
After sitting, the woman obediently removed her mask, revealing long black hair and a delicate face.
Upon seeing her, Ling Feng froze!
He had seen this woman before!
The thought struck him instantly.
After thinking for a moment, he remembered where he had seen her.
The woman’s name was Sato Saori, the daughter of that Shadow Group member Sato, whom he had encountered in Guo City!
Although Ling Feng recognized her, he didn’t let it show. Instead, he calmly asked, "What’s your name?"
"Sato Saori."
"Oh."
Ling Feng nodded, feeling she was being honest. He then asked, "Continue. Your background and purpose for coming into the mountains?"
"I’m an overseas student studying archaeology at Qingbei University. My purpose in coming to the mountains was to investigate an ancient relic," Sato Saori replied.
"Why are your companions all Dongying people?" Ling Feng asked.
"They’re from the Dongying Shadow Group, assigned to ensure my safety," Sato Saori explained.
Ling Feng frowned. "And you’re not one of them?"
Sato Saori shook her head. "I’m not."
"You’re lying!" Ling Feng said immediately.
"I’m not!"
Sato Saori froze for a moment, then shook her head firmly in denial.
"I’ve actually seen you before!"
Ling Feng smirked coldly. "Not long ago, I saw your photo in your father’s hands. Now, do you have anything else to say?"
