Chapter 1563 - 1562: Crystal Stone
At eight o’clock in the evening, under the Spirit Bone Tower.
Ling Feng and Chen Hong sat on the ground, quietly watching the night sky.
The equipment was fully installed and was currently undergoing network debugging. Once the tests were error-free, the two of them could leave.
"Hey, what are you planning to do about that Leader of the Tongtian Sect?" Chen Hong asked.
Ling Feng turned to look at her, "What’s with the ’hey’? I’m the director; is it that hard to call me boss?"
"I can’t be bothered to do that. How about I just call you by your name from now on!" Chen Hong said.
"Whatever you want, just don’t call me ’hey’!" Ling Feng said helplessly.
Chen Hong nodded, then said, "You still haven’t answered my question!"
"You’re talking about the Tongtian guy? He’s always elusive, and just when we managed to encounter him, he escaped. I don’t know how to find him again." Ling Feng said.
"But we can’t just let him cause trouble outside, right?" Chen Hong asked.
Ling Feng smiled bitterly and then asked, "Then what do you suggest?"
"If I knew, would I still be asking you?"
Chen Hong rolled her eyes but suddenly said, "I have an idea, not sure if you can accept it."
"What idea?"
Ling Feng looked at her, a bit surprised, and asked.
To him, this girl’s temper was fiery, her personality impulsive and reckless; he didn’t expect her to have any good ideas.
But unexpectedly, Chen Hong seriously looked at him and asked, "The Leader of the Tongtian Sect is an evil cultivator, right?"
"Yeah, so?" Ling Feng asked.
"Since he’s an evil cultivator, he naturally loves evil energy, Yin energy, right?" Chen Hong continued to ask.
Ling Feng nodded, "That’s not wrong!"
"And he’s also very greedy, having lingered in this place for years, intending to find the Underground City and search for treasures inside, right?"
Ling Feng continued nodding, "That’s right!"
"Then can’t we target his desires, use what he wants to lure him out, and with the sisters from Nine Heavens, I bet we can catch him!" Chen Hong said.
"Sure, your thinking is quite clear!"
Ling Feng nodded, showing approval.
"Of course!"
Chen Hong chuckled, her face instantly full of pride.
"But speaking of which, as simple as it sounds, actually getting something that can attract Tongtian and make him drop his guard isn’t that easy!" Ling Feng said.
"That’s not my problem. I just gave you an idea; how you make it work is your problem." Chen Hong shrugged.
At this moment, the satellite phone rang, and Ling Feng answered, "Is the debugging done?"
"Yes, Director, the full scan has begun!" the other side said.
Ling Feng nodded, "Good, then we’ll head back!"
After hanging up, he stood up and said to Chen Hong, "Let’s go home first; we’ll talk about the rest later!"
"Okay."
The two left the Spirit Bone Tower, quickly returned to the car, then left the mountain area in the night, returning to Yinzhou City.
Chen Hong lived in the Security Bureau dormitory, so Ling Feng dropped her off first, then drove back to the office.
Returning to Nine Heavens, he headed straight to the Sixth Layer and found Ling Yao, who was resting.
Without much ado, Ling Feng shared Chen Hong’s idea.
After listening, Ling Yao nodded, "That is indeed a good plan, but as you said, it must be something really special to catch the Leader of the Tongtian Sect’s attention."
"That’s what’s troubling me; it seems hard to find such a thing." Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
Ling Yao looked at him, "Not necessarily, if you’re lucky, you could ask Fei’er about this!"
"Huh?"
Ling Feng was taken aback, then widened his eyes, "Fei’er? She has something that sinister?"
"Just go ask her, and you’ll know!" Ling Yao laughed.
"Alright."
Seeing she wouldn’t say more, Ling Feng didn’t ask further, got up, and went to the First Layer of Heaven.
But he didn’t find her, as Li Fei’er had gone to Lingyun Island.
Feeling helpless, Ling Feng teleported there and arrived at her house.
Going upstairs, he saw Li Fei’er had just showered and was about to go to bed.
Seeing Ling Feng, she ran over with a face full of delight, "Uncle, why are you here?"
"To ask you something, why did you suddenly decide to come here today?" Ling Feng asked.
"Completely exhausted, I wanted to come and have a proper rest!" Li Fei’er said.
Knowing she was busy with Underground matters, Ling Feng said, "That Zhang He, letting you work alone without offering any reward?"
"Don’t say that, it’s my job, and Brother Zhang is very good to me!"
Knowing his relationship with Zhang He, Li Fei’er replied with a chuckle.
"Alright, by the way, let me tell you something."
Ling Feng held her hand, sat on the bed, and recounted the matter of the Leader of the Tongtian Sect.
After listening, Li Fei’er said, "Well, I actually know where to find something that can attract him!"
"Really? Where?"
Ling Feng was delighted, quickly asked.
"To get to that place, you must hurry, and you can’t go alone; it’s best to take Sister Qian with you." Li Fei’er said.
"Why?" Ling Feng asked.
"The place we’re going is underground. According to forecasts, an earthquake will happen soon, and the place’s evil energy is extremely strong. Even for you, it’s said to be hard to handle!" Li Fei’er said.
Ling Feng was completely stunned, his eyes wide open in shock, "I can’t even handle it?"
"Yes!"
Li Fei’er nodded seriously and continued, "I learned from the Underground folks that the earthquake is happening because of that place, underground."
"There, the evil energy has been condensed for over ten thousand years and has solidified into a crystal stone."
Ling Feng: "...."
He was dumbfounded by what he heard.
Over ten thousand years, the evil energy condensed into crystal stones!
This was indeed not an ordinary situation, so he nodded, "Alright, since you’ve suggested, I’ll go find Ye Qian, have her take me there!"
"Yes, Sister Qian can set up a formation to temporarily divert the evil energy, and you can take the opportunity to get a piece of crystal stone. This is something the Leader of the Tongtian Sect would desperately want."
Li Fei’er nodded, then said, "Since I have to lead people to the Underground City tomorrow, for a population of 150,000, it’ll take several days. So, I can’t go with you!"
"You telling me this is already very valuable information!"
Ling Feng smiled, then patted her head, "Go ahead with your work, and get some good rest later, don’t wear yourself out!"
"How would that happen?"
Li Fei’er snuggled into his arms, then in a low voice, said, "Uncle, why don’t you stay the night?"
"Sure, there’s no rush, I’ll sleep here tonight!"
Ling Feng chuckled, holding her shoulder, then said, "But you must behave, no moving around!"
