Yuwen Xiangyu covered her small mouth and said with some worry, "It couldn't be, right? Don't scare me!"

Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders. "I have no need to lie to you. You, as superpower wielders, are different from cultivators and martial artists. You need to allow your physique and strength to harmonize to exert the strongest power. However, the power within you is too strong, so you need to..."

At this point, Ling Feng paused, apparently realizing why Dark Night had brought them here! As a fairy herb level treasure, the Nine Nether Blood Lotus contained an immense amount of nature's essence. If Yuwen Tingyu and Yuwen Xiangyu, the sisters, could digest the essence of the Nine Nether Blood Lotus's juice, it could greatly improve their physique and even enable them to achieve a Spiritual Body!

"So that's how it is," Ling Feng murmured thoughtfully to himself.

Yuwen Xiangyu, somewhat impatiently, gave Ling Feng a gentle kick. "Hey, who stops talking halfway through? So what is it, hurry up and say it!"

"So, eating grilled meat now amounts to a massive betrayal of your mentor!" At that moment, a mocking voice chimed in, "Tsk tsk, to think that the renowned Blood... Ling Feng, would have such a sorry day. I think instead of choosing another day, why not settle our past grudges today?"

A middle-aged man in his forties appeared behind Yuwen Xiangyu, but his gaze was fixed on Ling Feng, his tone filled with mocking and teasing!

"Ah, Master!" Yuwen Xiangyu jumped up from the ground as if she had been pricked by a needle, kicking over the grill in the process. "It was this bad guy eating the grilled meat just now, it had nothing to do with me!"

"Then you should first wipe that grease from the corner of your mouth!" The middle-aged man rolled his eyes. "You think I didn't know you were sneaking some grilled meat earlier? I just felt that restricting you too much was not good, so I turned a blind eye!"

Saying this, the middle-aged man sat down beside Ling Feng and then said to Yuwen Xiangyu, "I know you've saved up quite a bit of good meat, grill some for your master, I have an old friend to entertain!"

Yuwen Xiangyu sheepishly set up the grill again and obediently began her task of grilling meat.

The middle-aged man then turned to Ling Feng. "With your strength, there aren't many in this world who can hurt you. What happened?"

This middle-aged man was Dark Night, and he and Ling Feng could be considered close friends who had formed a bond through fighting!

Ling Feng shook his head helplessly. "There are still many unknown masters in this world. I was being too complacent before and almost capsized in the gutter. Thanks to Yuwen Tingyu's help, I managed to escape!"

"Yuwen Tingyu?" Dark Night paused, then glanced at Yuwen Xiangyu.

Yuwen Xiangyu shrank her head and then gave Dark Night an awkward smile.

Dark Night said meaningfully, "Yes, Tingyu is much more sensible than Xiangyu, that naughty girl really gives me headaches!"

Yuwen Xiangyu gritted her teeth in secret, finally realizing why her master and this bad guy were old acquaintances—they really were birds of a feather!

"This young lady is clever and pretty, naturally beautiful, how could I be as bad as you say?" Yuwen Xiangyu thought resentfully to herself.

Ling Feng glanced at Yuwen Xiangyu and then said, "Dark Night, your target for coming here must be the Nine Nether Blood Lotus, right?"

With their relationship, it was better to discuss some matters straightforwardly.

"Exactly!" Dark Night confirmed. "You've seen it too, this girl possesses inherent strong power, and fortunately, I have carefully controlled it over the years, allowing her body to barely manage this power, but this is not a long-term solution!"

"To control the power within her, she must transform her body into a Spiritual Physique. Only with such a constitution can she perfectly master the power within. Otherwise, the longer it drags on, the more power accumulates inside her, and I fear that..."

At this point, a hint of worry flashed in Dark Night's eyes.

Yuwen Xiangyu was raised by him personally. For Dark Night, Yuwen Xiangyu was both his beloved disciple and his daughter! Although there was no blood relation, he had long considered her his own daughter.

Ling Feng also sighed quietly, well aware of the feelings in Dark Night's heart because he felt the same!

For the sake of the Nine Nether Blood Lotus's Life-Extending Gu, Ling Feng had no choice but to join in the struggle!

He had initially harbored a sliver of hope that he could persuade Dark Night to give up the fight for the Nine Nether Blood Lotus and help him obtain it, but now Ling Feng simply couldn't bring himself to speak!

Because they were alike, if it concerned their own interests, they could hand them over without hesitation; but when it came to the lives of friends and family, not even the mighty heavens would make them yield a step!

"What is the purpose of your visit? Is it also for the Nine Nether Blood Lotus?" Dark Night asked.

Ling Feng nodded, "If I say yes, would you trap me here now?"

Dark Night paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "That idea is really tempting! But you know I'm not that kind of person. I can't believe it, after all these years of fighting, now we are competing for the Nine Nether Blood Lotus again!"

"Then we can only rely on our own abilities, I too am determined to get the Nine Nether Blood Lotus!" Ling Feng said earnestly.

Dark Night looked at Ling Feng's resolute gaze, then smiled meaningfully, "It looks like you've also found something worth protecting with your life, Ling Feng, I'm really relieved!"

...

With half a day's time and some of Dark Night's Spiritual Medicine, Ling Feng's body quickly recovered to its peak and he left them.

On the way, Yuwen Xiangyu cautiously asked, "Master, that bad guy... Who exactly is Ling Feng, I feel like there are a lot of secrets between you two? You both smile like a pair of best friends!"

Dark Night knocked on Yuwen Xiangyu's head, "What are you thinking at such a young age!"

"Then tell me, Master?" Yuwen Xiangyu clung to Dark Night's arm, shaking it continuously and coquettishly said, "How did you meet him, I've never heard of him before!"

Dark Night said, "Alright, stop shaking. I'll tell you, is that okay? Actually, you've heard of his title before, but indeed, very few people know his name."

"His title? Who is he?" Yuwen Xiangyu asked.

"He is none other than the Blood-Handed Asura, the shocker of the Underworld!" Dark Night said with a laugh, "The strongest Gene Warrior of Divine Gate, one of the Eight Great Underground War Gods, and the man who recently single-handedly destroyed the founders of the Divine Gate organization!"

Yuwen Xiangyu's body stiffened, "Him? How can it be him?"
