Chapter 1527 - 1526: Tian Lian’s True Face
As they walked along the road, Ling Feng was frowning. Curious, Chen Hong asked, "What’s going on with you?"
"After hearing Grandpa Zhao’s story, I need to verify it. If there really is an Underground City beneath that mountain range..."
Ling Feng paused before continuing, "I’ll take a look first, and once I’m sure that place exists, we’ll consider the next steps!"
"Oh."
Chen Hong listened, half-understanding, not knowing what Ling Feng was thinking, but she didn’t ask more.
Though she had a rough nature, she knew how to assess the situation. With Ling Feng clearly deep in thought, she chose not to disturb him.
The two arrived at the parking spot, and it was four o’clock in the afternoon.
At this time, the sun was leaning west, but it wasn’t setting yet, so the sunlight in the mountains was still abundant.
Ling Feng got out of the car, glanced at Chen Hong: "We need to walk a bit further into the mountains. Can you keep up with me?"
"Don’t worry. You lead the way; I’m afraid you might not be able to outrun me!" Chen Hong pouted as she spoke.
Ling Feng smiled and nodded, saying, "That’s good to hear!"
Then he turned and dashed toward the Spirit Bone Tower!
In the blink of an eye, he was already fifty meters away.
Chen Hong hadn’t reacted yet.
By the time she started to chase after him, Ling Feng’s figure was almost out of sight!
At this point, Chen Hong got anxious, using all her strength to sprint after him.
But unfortunately, she never managed to catch up with Ling Feng; the distance between them even kept widening!
Only then did she realize Ling Feng’s prowess; he was indeed stronger than her!
Chen Hong couldn’t tell if she was impressed or not, but she had certainly re-evaluated Ling Feng’s abilities, acknowledging that he truly had some remarkable skills.
When Chen Hong finally reached the gate of the abandoned temple, Ling Feng had already taken out the Teleportation Array.
Seeing this, she was curious and asked, "What are you doing?"
"You’ll know in a moment!"
Ling Feng smiled, took out a satellite phone, and called Mo Jiaolan. After learning that Li Fei’er had returned to the Nine Heavens, he hung up and then said to Chen Hong, "I need to bring a few people over, so please wait here for a moment!"
"Oh, then hurry up."
Chen Hong looked at the desolate valley around her, not wanting to stay alone here.
Ling Feng nodded, didn’t talk much, and directly teleported away.
When he returned to the Nine Heavens, Ling Yao and others were already there.
This included Xia Lan and Ling Ling, as well as the sisters Li Fei’er and Li Yun’er, plus Yang Guang, making eight people in total.
"Chen Hong is still waiting there. I’ll explain everything once we get there!"
Ling Feng said, grabbing everyone’s hands, and they teleported back immediately.
As the scene changed instantly, everyone’s eyes curiously took in their surroundings.
Chen Hong had been to the Nine Heavens before; she had seen most of these girls, but she didn’t expect Ling Feng to bring everyone together all at once, so she was momentarily stunned.
Ling Feng quickly described his recent findings and the legend he had just heard from Grandpa Zhao.
Before he even finished speaking, Ling Yao had already pulled Long Xiaoyu along and, with Yang Guang, vanished, suddenly appearing on the mountain top opposite.
Ling Feng knew they had gone to survey the surrounding terrain, so he didn’t mind and turned to Li Yun’er. "Last time you helped us discover lots of underground things. This time, I invited you in hopes of seeking your help once more."
"Understood!"
Li Yun’er nodded. Her ability to discover hidden items underground had recently been getting stronger. Previously, it relied on luck, finding things occasionally, but now she was increasingly able to control this ability.
This was largely due to her continuous cultivation in the Nine Heavens during this period.
As her personal strength improved, so did her abilities.
For instance, Li Fei’er, who used to only communicate with animals, now had developed a Pet Space and could tame animals, enhancing their strength.
Li Yun’er agreed and walked toward the Spirit Bone Tower away from the others.
"Uncle, I’m going with my sister!"
Li Fei’er said, quickly following her.
"Ling Feng, take this opportunity to bring out that Cauldron!" Xia Lan said at this point.
"Uh..."
Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, smiled wryly and said, "If it’s not urgent, let’s wait a bit. She’s very afraid of you two. If she meets you suddenly, she might not be able to handle it."
"It’s fine. Since she’s devoted to you, even if she’s a dark cultivator, we won’t do anything to her. We’re all under one master, no big deal!" Xia Lan said.
Hearing her say this, Ling Feng thought for a moment, then nodded: "Alright then!"
Tian Lian, inside the Jade Pendant, was aware of what was happening outside and could communicate through her mind, but she had stayed silent; it was unclear whether she was frightened or something else.
Afterward, Ling Feng summoned her out.
Tian Lian appeared, shivering before immediately hiding behind Ling Feng.
"Don’t be afraid. You should have heard what was said just now. They don’t intend to take you; they just want to see something the master left behind." Ling Feng said.
Xia Lan walked straight up, taking Tian Lian’s hand: "Though you practice the dark arts, we won’t blame you. Cultivating Spiritual Sense and reaching this point is beyond what Ling Long and I could have imagined. In a way, we’re family!"
Tian Lian’s tension eased significantly as she heard this.
She lowered her head and mumbled, "Thank you, Sister..."
"Why wear a veil? Could you show me your true face?" Xia Lan asked with a smile, like a loving elder sister.
Tian Lian hesitated for a moment, then said, "I was always a spirit, and only recently have I been able to assume a human form. I feared I was unsightly, so..."
"How could you be? Just looking at your eyes, I’m reminded of the master’s beauty!" Xia Lan said.
Ling Long nodded in agreement. "Exactly, just take it off. We all want to see you!"
"Well, alright then!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Lian’s veil disappeared instantly.
Xia Lan and Ling Long were taken aback!
Seeing this, Ling Feng curiously turned to look, and his eyes widened!
"My heavens, she’s incredibly beautiful!"
Chen Hong exclaimed in surprise.
Even Yu Linglong, who typically remained speechless, as serene as a chrysanthemum, was astonished and wide-eyed at this moment.
In terms of beauty alone, Tian Lian’s looks were top-tier, comparable to Ling Yao and Long Xiaoyu.
But the unique flavor of classical beauty in her brows and eyes was unmatched by the two!
