After leaving the Tianmu Hot Springs, Ling Feng accompanied the Bright Saintess on a stroll around the area. Although they didn't buy anything, they did get a feel of the local customs and traditions of Yunfu City.

However, Ling Feng could feel that no matter where they went, there was always a gaze watching them from behind. Yet, Ling Feng couldn't determine who it belonged to!

"Ling Feng, we're being watched!" the Bright Saintess whispered near Ling Feng's ear, "I constantly feel a gaze upon us!"

Ling Feng smiled and said, "Your senses are not wrong. Although I'm not sure how we offended the Lord of Yunfu City, it seems our presence is indeed not welcome!"

"Let's go back," the Bright Saintess frowned, "being watched like this makes me feel uneasy."

Ling Feng chuckled, "Don't worry, I've been recognized by the Ghost King and acknowledged as the City Lord by the Military Residence. Even if Bai Yuntian hates me, he can't let anything happen to me in Yunfu City! Let's enjoy our stroll. It's said there's a fruit here called Flowing Cloud Fruit that can't be found elsewhere. Let's buy some to try."

Saying that, Ling Feng grabbed the Bright Saintess and swaggered forward.

After spending an entire day exploring, they returned to the inn, and their whereabouts were reported to Bai Yuntian.

Listening to his subordinate's report, Bai Yuntian's eyes flashed coldly, "They're really enjoying themselves, but... your good days are numbered! I've prepared a big gift for you; I hope you'll like it when the time comes. Hehehe..."

During the remaining time, Ling Feng didn't go out and stayed in the inn instead.

Five days later, the soldier who had met Ling Feng twice before appeared at the inn.

"Lord Ling, tomorrow's Beast Slaughter Ceremony is about to officially start! I hope you can arrive on time!" the soldier said indifferently.

Ling Feng nodded slightly, "I will certainly be there, but... may I know your name?"

"I'm just a lowly soldier, no need for an esteemed lord to know my name!" The soldier hesitated and said.

Ling Feng gave him a light glance, "Since you don't want to say, I won't force you. I will surely be there on time tomorrow; you may leave now!"

After the soldier left, the Bright Saintess came in, "Tomorrow we have to attend the Beast Slaughter Ceremony?"

Ling Feng nodded, "That's right. Demon Eye gathered a lot of information over these days. The Beast Slaughter Ceremony appears to be more complex than it seems! There might be some unforeseen changes."

"What kind of changes?" The Bright Saintess frowned slightly, "Could there be some danger? Maybe we should leave."

Ling Feng shook his head, "Leaving isn't possible. That soldier was a concubine's son of the Yuwen Clan, named Yuwen Ting. It's said his strength has reached the Peak of Divine Realm, not weaker than Demon Eye! If I'm not mistaken, if we leave, we're likely to get attacked by them..."

The Bright Saintess asked puzzled, "But... why are they so hostile towards us?"

Ling Feng stretched and said, "This matter can only be asked to Bai Yuntian! We'll probably have answers tomorrow!"

The day quickly passed, and the Beast Slaughter Ceremony was held in the Beast Slaughter Field in Yunfu City. The Four Directions City Master and their entourages had already arrived at the field.

As Ling Feng and the Bright Saintess entered the Beast Slaughter Field, countless gazes fell upon them.

Killing Liu Wuyun and taking his place, while also being recognized by the Ghost King, Ling Feng's deeds have become known among many City Lords around. They were all somewhat curious about Ling Feng, considering Liu Wuyun's strength was among the stronger ones among all the City Lords.

"A little fellow at the early stage of Divine Realm? How could he have killed Liu Wuyun?"

"It's said this little fellow has a master of the Divine Sea Realm behind him, and that master is a woman!"

"Hehe, so this little fellow is the pretty boy of that woman? Wonder if this little fellow can satisfy the old lady? It's said that women of the Divine Sea Realm are quite strong in that regard, hahaha..."

...

Almost all the City Lords had cultivation of the Sea of Gods Realm, and Ling Feng was the only one with cultivation at the early stage of Divine Realm as a City Lord.

In this world where strength is respected, even though Ling Feng obtained the City Lord position, he wasn't taken seriously by other City Lords, and even filled with disdain!

What gives a novice at the early stage of Divine Realm the right to be on equal standing with them?

The words of the City Lords reached Ling Feng's ears without any effort of concealment.

Ling Feng's face remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard anything.

He glanced at the stage, then went to sit at the Blood Cry City's spot.

"Lord, these people are truly detestable!" Demon Eye said disgruntled in Ling Feng's ear, "Moreover, this place is the most remote spot, usually reserved for those lesser City Lords with weak strength!"

Ling Feng looked at Demon Eye, "Are you very angry?"

"When the Lord is humiliated, the subordinate dies! Of course, I'm vexed for Lord's sake!" Demon Eye replied righteously.

Ling Feng nodded, "Very well, I appreciate your loyalty. How about you go and express our protest and dissatisfaction?"

Demon Eye awkwardly said, "Lord, I think this kind of matter would be better if you handle it personally!"

Ling Feng glared at Demon Eye, "Since you're not going, just stay put. You really think this is Blood Cry City? Moreover, given our lack of strength, being underestimated is expected, what's there to be angry about?"

"If you want respect, conquer them with strength!" Ling Feng said lightly, "Just sit quietly and enjoy the show!"

Demon Eye awkwardly left, he just wanted to show his loyalty. Among their group, there wasn't even a master of the Divine Sea Realm. Demon Eye wouldn't foolishly step forward now to criticize Lord Bai Yuntian!

If he angered Bai Yuntian and got killed, he'd have nothing to say in tears.

"Young friend, what a great mindset!" At this moment, a cheerful voice appeared in Ling Feng's ear, and with a flash, a familiar man sat beside Ling Feng.

"Lord of Lingyu City!" Ling Feng looked surprisingly at the man he had met once upon entering the city.

"Yan Feishuang, Lord of Lingyu City!" The Lord of Domain City introduced himself with a smile, "Care for a cup?"

With a flip of his hand, a jar of Royal Spirit Wine appeared in Yan Feishuang's hand.

"Ling Feng at your service!" Ling Feng narrowed his eyes at the uninvited man, "Wonder what advice Lord Yan has for me?"
