The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1470 - 1474: Obtaining the Golden Eyes

Lin Fei felt a warm sensation at the concerned looks of the two and spoke, "I’m fine, but what about that Golden Dragon?"

At this moment, Dugu Aotian handed over an object the size of an eye to Lin Fei and said, "Here it is. However, it dared to make a move on you. How to deal with it is up to you!"

Hearing Dugu Aotian’s words, Lin Fei looked at the eye-sized object, which was densely packed with the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon in apparent great pain. However, even then, it could hardly shake off the binding and had to patiently await liberation.

Lin Fei glanced at it and then asked, "Senior brother, can you tell me how to control this thing?"

Since he had signed a contract, Lin Fei didn’t want to kill it, as it would have to obey him from now on. If used properly, it could become a formidable weapon, so Lin Fei asked Dugu Aotian about it. Dugu Aotian seemed to understand Lin Fei’s thoughts and nodded.

"You still remember the Demon Refinement Technique you practiced, right? I told you, this move is the eighth style of the Demon Refinement Technique. So if you want to control this thing, you need to cultivate to the fifth form; otherwise, it will be very difficult to control it. However, I can place a seal on it so that until you can control it, it will never come out. How about that?"

Dugu Aotian really went through a lot of trouble for Lin Fei.

"Thank you, senior brother. I don’t know how to repay your immense kindness, senior brother." Lin Fei was very grateful for all Dugu Aotian had done for him and expressed his gratitude.

Dugu Aotian chuckled, "In the future, I still need you to protect the Lower Realm. I have my own selfish reasons for doing this, so don’t misunderstand. After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, as a person from the Lower Realm once said. You should understand what this means, right?"

Lin Fei chuckled, "Of course I understand. It means there’s no pie falling from the sky. I get it, and I will ensure the Lower Realm is well-protected and not let you down, senior brother!"

"That will do."

Dugu Aotian smiled, nodded, and then performed the Sealing Skill, sealing the eye-sized object. Instantly, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon inside howled, sounding very painful, but eventually, it had to endure it all.

In the end, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon was subdued, but where to place it? Lin Fei was conflicted, as carrying it daily was inconvenient. However, at this moment, Dugu Aotian seemed to have long thought of a good solution for Lin Fei, and that was...

"Didn’t I tell you? Since the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon took your eye, then let it be your eye. In this way, there wouldn’t be any inconveniences, and it’s quite convenient. Moreover, for a cultivator, things like eyes are no longer important—what matters is cultivation. As long as your cultivation is strong enough, even a severed arm can regenerate."

Dugu Aotian once again gave Lin Fei a sliver of hope. Lin Fei nodded and said, "Thank you, senior brother, then let’s put it in the eye, and I will release her when I can control it."

"Hmm, then you must endure." Dugu Aotian carefully placed the object in Lin Fei’s eye, and only then did Lin Fei breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he became worried again and asked, "Senior brother, won’t this thing explode? If it explodes, I’d be doomed—without a brain, regeneration won’t be possible!"

Dugu Aotian chuckled and said, "Don’t you trust me? You should know that you practiced the Demon Refinement Technique, exactly the same as what I practiced. The Primordial Energy in your body will continually enter this Sealing Skill and the sphere, making it increasingly solid, so don’t worry."

Lin Fei understood and was much more at ease. He said, "Thank you, senior brother. By the way, senior brother, have you seen the master?"

"Master!?"

Dugu Aotian showed a confused expression, not understanding Lin Fei’s words.

Seeing Dugu Aotian’s look, Lin Fei’s heart tightened. He couldn’t help but wonder if Dugu Aotian didn’t know the master had ascended to the Upper Realm, or did the master not seek out Dugu Aotian at all?

The master had ascended to the Upper Realm a long time ago. Senior brother, didn’t you notice or know?" Lin Fei asked, puzzled.

Dugu Aotian became serious, shook his head, and said, "I really didn’t know about this. It seems I need to return quickly to find the master. Even though the power for ascending to the Upper Realm is incredibly strong in the Lower Realm, it is among the weakest in the Upper Realm, so I must quickly find the master!"

"Then you should go, senior brother, to avoid wasting time. By the way, senior brother, my Divine Stone was crushed. Can you..."

The Divine Stone is the core link with Dugu Aotian, and without it, there can be no connection with Dugu Aotian. Without Dugu Aotian, the Lower Realm might have been in big trouble this time.

After all, if a dragon appeared in the Lower Realm, the world wouldn’t just be boiling; it might be destroyed. Lin Fei saw the power of the Dragon Clan; even the strongest in the Lower Realm couldn’t deal with the Dragon Clan, so the Dragon Clan could wreak havoc, even bringing about extinction.

Dugu Aotian nodded, "That is indeed a problem. I have several Divine Stones here, but I can only give you one. You must not use it until it’s dangerous, just like this time, where you could have used it earlier to avoid such danger."

Lin Fei nodded, but he didn’t regret delaying its use. After all, their ideas were different; Lin Fei believed he could get through, but he failed. Some challenges simply cannot be overcome without power. Lin Fei understood this truth but would still use his strength to face the relentless difficulties.

"Understood, senior brother."

Lin Fei took the Divine Stone and once again thanked Dugu Aotian before looking at Jian Xing.

"Senior brother Jian Xing, should you be returning with my senior brother this time?"

Jian Xing nodded and said, "I definitely need to return, and I hope Senior Dugu is willing to take me back."

"Of course, since you are from the Upper Realm, you naturally cannot stay in the Lower Realm, so you have to leave even if you don’t want to. But this time going back, since you are a vassal of Qianhuang Peak, let me help you. Anyone daring to oppose someone from Qianhuang Peak is my enemy. Let’s go!"

Dugu Aotian hesitated not even a bit, acted decisively, and immediately departed using his methods.

Lin Fei watched Dugu Aotian disappear from sight and sighed, "If it weren’t for senior brother’s help this time, I might have been dead. It seems I need to quickly enhance my cultivation level!"
