Liu Wuyun and Bai Yuntian were close friends, it could be said they were kindred spirits! Even their trusted subordinates were not aware of the true nature of their relationship!

When Bai Yuntian heard about Liu Wuyun's murder, he was overwhelmed with grief. He had hoped that the Military Residence would punish Ling Feng, but somehow, Ling Feng managed to fool the Ghost King, which filled Bai Yuntian with both anger and frustration.

Since the Military Residence couldn't be relied upon, he could only rely on himself! Bai Yuntian quickly thought of the idea of a Beast Slaughter Ceremony, and coincidentally, he had recently captured an Exotic Beast, which could be used to his advantage.

As expected, the murderer of Liu Wuyun arrived, and Bai Yuntian was filled with a sense of revenge. As long as they were in Yunfu City, wasn't it up to him whether they lived or died?

"Don't worry, I won't kill you so easily!" Bai Yuntian said with a cold smile, "I heard you have a wife as beautiful as a Goddess. I will enjoy humiliating her in front of you, completely trample on your dignity, and then torture you to death! I swear it!"

...

Walking on the streets of Yunfu City, Ling Feng was naturally unaware that he had become a target of Bai Yuntian's hatred. They were currently looking for a place to stay.

Although Yunfu City provided palaces for various City Lords, knowing the city bore ill intentions towards them, how could Ling Feng trust them?

Money can make the world go round, and soon Ling Feng found a decent inn, and after settling in, the Bright Saintess came to Ling Feng's room, "Ling Feng, I've heard there's a famous hot spring nearby. Why don't we go soak in it?"

"Soak in a hot spring?" Seeing the Bright Saintess's eager expression, Ling Feng couldn't help shaking his head, "What's so great about hot springs? You could fill a big wooden bucket with warm water and roll around in it. Why go out of your way for a hot spring?"

The Bright Saintess snorted, "If you don't want to go, I'll just go by myself!"

Ling Feng shrugged, "You know I wouldn't feel comfortable letting you go alone, let's just go together!"

If it were in Blood Cry City, Ling Feng might not have cared, but here in Yunfu City, things were different.

The Tianmu Hot Springs of Yunfu City were very famous, emerging from a giant stone eye at the center of a mountain peak, known as the Heavenly Eye, hence the name Tianmu Hot Springs.

It's said that the Tianmu Hot Springs contain a mysterious power that can nourish the body and the Divine Soul, and even enhance strength more effectively than regular cultivation!

Moreover, women who frequently soak in the hot springs reportedly have skin as smooth and fair as milk, which attracts countless admirers.

"Business here is really booming!" exclaimed Ling Feng as he and the Bright Saintess approached the Tianmu Hot Springs, observing many people coming and going.

The Bright Saintess couldn't hold her excitement, "Ling Feng, hurry up and pay, I want a private room!"

The Tianmu Hot Springs offered two types of services: private rooms for a VIP experience or gender-separated communal bathing in a public hot spring.

You get what you pay for, and private rooms naturally came with a higher fee!

Ling Feng shook his head; this marketing tactic didn't differ much from those on Earth, indicating that no matter the world, the profit-driven instinct remained unchanged.

"I'll take two private rooms!" Ling Feng said calmly.

Having come this far, not experiencing the hot springs seemed like a waste. Besides, Ling Feng was curious about the alternate dimension's hot springs, and as the City Lord of Blood Cry City, this expense was trivial to him.

"I'm sorry, we only have one couple's suite left," the person in charge of the hot springs apologized, "If you want, I can reserve it for you now, otherwise it might get snapped up soon!"

Ling Feng was stunned, he hadn't expected that even the private rooms were almost fully booked.

"Alright then, I'll take the suite!" said Ling Feng as he reached for the last key to the suite.

At that moment, a hand suddenly appeared, snatching the last key away, "This suite is mine!"

Ling Feng's expression darkened as he looked at the man who suddenly appeared, and said in a cold voice, "Brother, your actions aren't right, are they? I had already reserved this room before you!"

The young man who snatched the key sneered, "Before me? Did you pay? If not, since the key is now in my hand, it's mine!"

With a wave of his hand, a bag of Spirit Stones fell into the hands of the hot springs' manager, "These Spirit Stones should cover the cost of the suite, right?"

Ling Feng's expression grew grim, and he said in a somber voice, "Brother, are you really planning to snatch this suite from me?"

The man said arrogantly, "And what if I am? Even if you had paid, who cares? I would still take it! You, a nobody, think you can contest with me, Yuwen Lou?"

"Yuwen Lou? Is he that arrogant genius from the Yuwen Clan?"

"Wasn't he supposed to be in seclusion? How is he here now?"

"This guy is in for it; everyone knows Yuwen Lou will cause trouble even when he's in the wrong. Besides, the Yuwen Clan is one of the dominant forces in Yunfu City. If this guy is wise, he should run away quickly before losing everything!"

...

The whispers around them naturally reached Ling Feng's ears. He hadn't expected the one who took his key to be one of Yunfu City's tyrants.

"Ling Feng, let it go, I suddenly don't feel like soaking in a hot spring anymore!" The Bright Saintess, worried that Ling Feng might cause a ruckus, hurriedly grabbed his hand, "Let's go shopping instead, I'm getting a bit hungry!"

As Yuwen Lou saw the Bright Saintess, his eyes lit up, "Heh, I didn't expect that after coming out of seclusion, I'd meet such a beautiful lady. It's truly refreshing!"

With a laugh, Yuwen Lou said, "Kid, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let your wife soak in the hot spring with me. There's no need for you to pay. How about it? I don't offer this kind of deal often!"

Listening to Yuwen Lou's blatant banter, Ling Feng's face grew even darker.

If Yuwen Lou's earlier antics had just annoyed Ling Feng, his disrespect towards the Bright Saintess now sparked a hint of murderous intent.

In the distance from the Tianmu Hot Springs, a man watching the scene smiled faintly, "The City Lord's tactic of borrowing a knife to kill someone is truly brilliant; however, is that really the City Lord of Blood Cry City? Why is his strength only at the Early Divine Realm?"
