Chapter 35: Danger in Lingnan City

At the mention of Bai Yinrui, a hint of loneliness appeared on Bai Jinrui’s face.

“Yinrui was sentenced to suppress the Buried City for 80 years, which is equivalent to being imprisoned until death.” Bai Jinrui wiped away his tears. “That’s why I have to keep fighting… to not let Yinrui down.”

“80 years!” Lin Feng’s gaze turned cold.

Suppressing was fundamentally different from going to the Buried City.

Normal people usually entered the Buried City through the Instance Dungeon. Since these dungeons had already been cleared by others, they could enter and exit freely.

However, some instance dungeons had not been discovered or explored yet. So there was no way to enter through teleportation arrays. These instance dungeons required people to explore and develop.

In the past, Lin Feng spent most of his time developing dungeons.

Unfortunately, the instance dungeons he cleared were usually not available to others. After all, there were very few people like him.

Most of the people who explored were those sentenced to suppress the Buried City and sent directly in there to explore new dungeons.

Only by successfully exploring could one obtain resources and ensure survival. Otherwise, one would simply be awaiting death.

“Do they have that much power? To imprison someone to 80 years?” Lin Feng did not dare to believe it.

Although he was not the one who proposed the punishment of suppressing the Buried City, he was the one who developed the spell used to suppress it.

He felt that it was better for criminals to contribute to humanity than to be imprisoned. However, he did not expect that one day, these would become lynchings that they abuse.

Usually, such a criminal law spell that could suppress people for 80 years could only be used by the headquarters of Muguang City.

“Do you still remember old Liu Hong?” Bai Jinrui mentioned a name. “He’s now one of the twelve judges of the Mage Guild!”

Everything made sense now.

However, he did not expect Liu Hong to be so ruthless.

Thinking back to the time when Lin Feng came to Southern Ling City, Liu Hong felt that his talent was not bad and was on good terms with him. Although the two did not have a good relationship, there was no enmity between them.

Upon realizing the complexity of the situation, Lin Feng could not help but sigh.

It seemed that ever since the news of his death was released, many things had changed drastically. It was just that Yan City was too small for these changes to spread.

The revenge plan he had originally prepared had to be brought forward. He had to let the Mage Guild know he was not a pushover that could be easily bullied!

Lin Feng took out his Pseudo Ring. “Jinrui, see if you can help me modify this ring. I need it, but I can’t use it at my current level.”

As the strongest blacksmith in Lingnan City, Bai Jinrui naturally would not reject such a request.

After picking it up and observing it for a while, he nodded. “I can modify it in three days. Though I can only guarantee that you’ll be able to use it, not that its functions are complete. I reckon it will only change the appearance and not the aura.”

“That’s enough,” Lin Feng smiled as he replied. After that, he took out a large pile of materials. “For these materials, help me refine them into dagger-type weapons.”

As for Chen Fang, he was placed in solitary confinement.

Once he was done with all that, he came out to look for Xiao Xiyue.

The skinny woman had been waiting outside. Her name was Anker. She was one of the earliest members of the organization and a talented class changer.

“The area you just entered is very close to us, so it’s very tightly sealed. If you want to experience the local customs here, you can go to the Xicheng District. It’s the most unaffected area.”

Hearing Anker’s introduction, Xiao Xiyue’s eyes flashed with hope.

Lin Feng noticed this. As he wanted to obtain some information, he took the initiative to ask, “Why don’t we make a trip now?”

Xiao Xiyue was naturally happy.

…

Xicheng District was also the wealthy district of Lingnan City. It was completely different from the northern city regions where they had arrived at, and everywhere was bustling.

Moreover, as a city in the northwest region, the local customs here were very different from Yan City.

As he had been here before, Lin Feng was relatively familiar with these things. Therefore, he could answer most of Xiao Xiyue’s questions.

As for himself, he was intentionally or unintentionally inquiring the hawkers for information.

From their conversations, they learned that this place was now completely controlled by the Liu family, who was present in almost all industries and guilds.

It was all because Liu Hong was one of the twelve judges.

As the position of the twelve judges in the Mage Guild was second only to the vice president, it also developed the Liu family’s habit of tyrannizing others.

The person they had met before should have been the third young master of the Liu family, Liu Yunbo. At such a young age, he was already the vice president of Lingnan City’s Mage Guild.

The Liu family had a total of four sons. As the actual controller of the Liu family in Lingnan City, the eldest son was an existence that many people feared. The second son was the president of the local Assassin Guild. No one dared to speak ill of him, afraid that they would die an unnatural death. The third son was naturally Liu Yunbo. As for his fourth son, he was still young, so there was nothing much to say.

However, it was precisely because he was young that he was especially doted on by Liu Hong. As time passed, his youngest son developed an arrogant and despotic personality.

It seemed there was a big event next week, which was Liu Hong’s birthday banquet.

Lin Feng was still inquiring when he heard a commotion behind him.

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a two-meter-tall beast charging through the streets.

Lin Feng and Xiao Xiyue were both startled. The magical beasts should have been suppressed in the Buried City. Why would they appear here?

It was then that Lin Feng saw a young man sitting on the magical beast.

The young man’s face was full of pride, with no care for the people below.

The surrounding hawkers were all ordinary people, so naturally, they were afraid of the demons and fled one after another.

In an instant, the originally bustling street became a scene of disaster. Everyone was scrambling to escape.

At the sight of this scene, the young man became even more excited. He pulled the reins on the beast and rushed toward the dense crowd.

“We can’t let him continue like this!” Xiao Xiyue clenched her fists. She, who always wanted to be a hero, naturally had a strong sense of justice.

She prepared to rush forward to stop him, but Lin Feng pulled her back.

He had already seen through the identity of the person in front of him, and it was most likely the legendary fourth son of the Liu family, Liu Yunhai!

Since they were going to cause a ruckus, they naturally had to make it bigger.

So, he did not let Xiao Xiyue go. Instead, he walked forward alone.

When the young man saw Lin Feng, he first frowned before a look of disdain appeared on his face.

He controlled the beast to step on it.

A smile appeared on Lin Feng’s face as he lifted his hand to welcome the attack.
