Ling Feng raised an eyebrow: "So quickly, you've already made progress? What did you discover?"

The Guici Group had only been established for a few days, and Ling Feng had thought that Demon Eye would need some time to grow. But he didn't expect discoveries so soon. Could it be that Demon Eye was naturally gifted for intelligence work?

Demon Eye said in a deep voice: "Ever since you mentioned that Situ might have issues, I've been secretly observing him. At first, Situ acted quite normally, with nothing suspicious, but last night, I found that Situ secretly left Blood Cry City and didn't return until dawn!"

A flash of curiosity crossed Ling Feng's eyes: "He left Blood Cry City. Do you know where he went or whom he met?"

With a guilty expression, Demon Eye replied: "My lord, I lost him... After leaving Blood Cry City, I lost track of Situ as if he vanished into thin air."

"Vanished into thin air?" Ling Feng furrowed his brows: "How is that possible? He hasn't even reached the Divine Sea Realm. How could he suddenly disappear before you?"

Demon Eye also smiled wryly: "I am puzzled by that as well... But precisely because of this, I think the problem with Situ might be significant!"

"You and Situ were both War Generals under Liu Wuyun. Didn't you notice anything unusual about him before?" Ling Feng asked irritably.

Demon Eye laughed bitterly: "Though we were both under the former City Lord, there wasn't much interaction between us. Situ has always been low-key and mysterious. If it weren't for your reminder, I might not have noticed anything strange about him!"

"What is Situ doing now?" Ling Feng asked.

"Nothing unusual, just like normal!" Demon Eye replied.

Ling Feng fell silent, furrowing his brows deep in thought.

He and the Bright Saintess couldn't delay their trip to the Angel World any longer. Time was of the essence, and they couldn't afford to waste it here.

But before that, Ling Feng had to eliminate the instability factors in Blood Cry City. Otherwise, if he ended up working hard only to benefit others, he would have nowhere to cry.

Seeing Ling Feng's hesitation, Demon Eye stepped forward and whispered: "My lord, how about... we act decisively and simply..."

With that, Demon Eye made a throat-cutting gesture, a fierce expression on his face.

Ling Feng slowly shook his head: "No, it's not the time for open confrontation yet. Moreover, when I first met Situ, I sensed a dangerous aura. If we act rashly and he escapes, it would lead to endless troubles."

Disappointment flashed across Demon Eye's face; he was eager to demonstrate his usefulness to Ling Feng, but Ling Feng didn't take his suggestion.

Since Ling Feng had killed Yuwen Lou in front of him, Demon Eye was completely convinced by Ling Feng! He couldn't imagine how powerful Ling Feng would be if he reached the Peak of Divine Realm or the Divine Sea Realm!

To be able to instantly kill masters in the mid-to-later stages of the Divine Realm at the early Divine Realm stage had overturned Demon Eye's understanding, dispelling any luck or resentment and leading him to fully dedicate himself to serving Ling Feng.

"You may leave. As for Situ's matter, I have my own plans! Make sure not to alert him," Ling Feng said.

Reluctantly, Demon Eye replied, "Yes, I understand!"

After Demon Eye left, Ling Feng sank into contemplation. It seemed Situ indeed had many secrets, but Ling Feng didn't have the time to investigate them now. If it came to it, Ling Feng would only have to eliminate him.

At that moment, a hearty voice came from above Blood Cry City: "Lord Ling, Yan is here to visit!"

"Why has Yan Feishuang come to Blood Cry City?" Ling Feng was taken aback, then walked out of the City Lord's Mansion to see Yan Feishuang's giant bird circling above Blood Cry City.

The Lord of Lingyu City, Yan Feishuang, was recognized by many experts in Blood Cry City who were shocked. The new City Lord had a good relationship with Yan Feishuang?

"Lord Yan, since you're here, why not come down for a gathering?" Ling Feng shouted.

Seeing Ling Feng, Yan Feishuang lightly leapt down from the giant bird and gracefully landed in front of Ling Feng. An expression of surprise crossed his eyes: "I'd heard you'd managed to escape unscathed and even killed Yuwen Lou of the Yuwen Clan. I deeply regretted not staying longer to witness that spectacle!"

Ling Feng chuckled: "What spectacle? Just being pushed to the limit and forced to fight back!"

Yan Feishuang patted Ling Feng on the shoulder, saying: "Don't worry, no matter how powerful the Yuwen Clan is, they wouldn't dare act against us. After all, the Military Residence stands behind us!"

Ling Feng nodded slightly: "Lord Yan, since you've come from afar, please come in. Let me properly entertain you!"

Yan Feishuang laughed heartily: "I've brought some Royal Spirit Wine. And those Szechuan Pepper Phoenix Claws of yours, I've missed them dearly!"

Once inside the City Lord's Mansion, the two sat down. Ling Feng asked curiously: "Lord Yan, you didn't just come to Blood Cry City for the Szechuan Pepper Phoenix Claws, did you? Just say what's on your mind!"

Yan Feishuang smiled and said: "Firstly, I came because I heard about your situation and was curious to see you. Secondly, there's something I discussed with your Lady before; I wasn't clear back then, so it's better for me to clarify it directly with you now!"

Ling Feng recalled the matter mentioned by the Bright Saintess but didn't expect Yan Feishuang to visit in person, causing a sense of foreboding to flash through his heart.

"I wonder what matter Lord Yan is referring to? Is it important?" Ling Feng asked while sipping tea.

Yan Feishuang smiled: "Have you heard the news that the Heavenly Battlefield is about to open?"

The Heavenly Battlefield? Ling Feng was stunned. Though he had read some history of the Divine Realm Continent, he hadn't come across this term.

"The Heavenly Battlefield is recognized by the Three Great Realms as the arena to resolve disputes!" Situ explained from behind Ling Feng: "The Heavenly Battlefield is divided into two types; one for Divine Realm Master's battles and another for masters of the Divine Sea Realm!"

"Typically, when irreconcilable conflicts arise between two planes, the Heavenly Battlefield is opened, and the victorious side wins! This effectively resolves disputes while avoiding large-scale battles that drain each side's strength."
