At this moment, the Hurricane Demon Emperor suddenly stopped, looked back at everyone, and said lightly, "The position we are in now is the first layer of this Holy City. There are two more layers below. The first layer has already been completely ransacked and holds no significant value, so our main goal is the second and third layers."

"Additionally, I've heard from the Young Palace Master that some Human Clan experts from the Yunluo Sacred Land have also entered here, so everyone needs to be cautious. Moreover, if you encounter disciples from any of the other Dark Dragon Palaces, don't hold back. If you can win, seize it; if not, then run!"

The Hurricane Demon Emperor said as he took out some bamboo flutes and handed them out.

Ling Feng touched his nose; this style is indeed very strong, very Demon Clan-like!

"In a while, you'll all scatter to search for treasure. If you encounter anything, you can use this bamboo flute to notify me. Of course, if it's just a contest between disciples, don't bother me. Mainly, if you discover any strange places or spots you can't access, you can request support."

Everyone silently listened, and Ling Feng accepted the bamboo flute and casually tossed it to the side of the road.

This Hurricane Demon Emperor is quite cunning. If I really do find any treasure, there's no way I'd tell him. The bamboo flutes have probably been tampered with, so it's better to throw them away.

"There are five passages under this plaza, leading to five regions of the underground second layer. Starting now, we'll divide into five small teams, starting with you ordinary disciples pairing up."

The Hurricane Demon Emperor finished speaking, and ten ordinary disciples quickly formed teams. Ling Feng was grouped with a round-faced black fatty.

Bai Ling'er naturally refused, glaring angrily at Ling Feng's team partner, the black fatty, coldly saying, "You, pick any team randomly. I'm teaming up with Long Fei. Go wherever you want!"

Everyone's expression froze. However, Bai Ling'er's capriciousness wasn't new. With her formidable strength and being the daughter of the Purple Dragon Envoy, who dared not listen to her?

"Alright then..."

The Hurricane Demon Emperor sighed and said to the black fatty, "Since it's the young miss's wish, switch with her."

The black fatty's face immediately fell. No team was safer than being with Ling Feng!

After all, Ling Feng's strength surpassed ordinary Early Stage Demon Kings, comparable to Mid-level Demon Kings!

After the teams were formed, the five teams each chose a direction to head toward the second layer of the Holy City.

Ling Feng and Bai Ling'er selected the east direction. Of course, the direction choice was determined according to the Despicable Donkey's senses.

After the five teams separated, Ling Feng had Bai Ling'er casually discard the bamboo flute given by the Hurricane Demon Emperor. He didn't want his whereabouts exposed under anyone's eyes.

As for Bai Ling'er, it's best to find an excuse to shake her off and calmly search for the Dragon Emperor Seal.

The entrance to the second layer of the underground in the east direction was located within a secret passage beneath a giant divine statue's pedestal.

Ling Feng summoned the Third Rank Swallowing Flame, not only dispersing the chill from underground but also illuminating the path ahead.

Following the long, deep spiral staircase, the two descended continuously into the unknown darkness. This feeling was like walking in hell, eerily quiet all around, with footsteps and breathing clearly audible.

It was unclear how long they had walked, estimated to have descended over five hundred meters.

Finally, the space opened up. No longer was it a spiraling staircase, but a vast open area.

Surrounded by ruins, Ling Feng and Bai Ling'er walked along barely discernible streets.

Soon, intense shouting and sounds of a fight were heard ahead.

"Get lost, this Four Directions Divine Seal was discovered by me first. Anyone who dares to snatch it, blame not my blade for being merciless!"

"Heh, treasures from the Ancient Ruins belong to those capable. Lei Bao, I advise you to put down the Four Directions Divine Seal. Don't throw away your life over a moment of greed!"

"Stop talking nonsense, kill him, and seize the Divine Seal!"

Following a string of curses, the sound of fighting and screams erupted continuously, and waves of demon essence surged, illuminating this dark space as if it were day.

"Stop fighting, someone else is coming!"

Suddenly, one person noticed Ling Feng and Bai Ling'er approaching, and both fighting parties pushed apart and cautiously watched the newcomers.

When they recognized Ling Feng and Bai Ling'er, they were shocked.

The battle with Ao Han yesterday had already etched this Evil God's visage in everyone's memory, a super freakishly powerful individual!

It seemed the Four Directions Divine Seal couldn't be kept.

Lei Bao let out a bitter laugh. In this world, the powerful wield the truth. No matter how valuable the treasure, one needed to be alive to enjoy it.

"Sir, this is the Four Directions Divine Seal, it's yours."

Lei Bao handed the treasure to Ling Feng honestly.

Ling Feng touched his nose. The Four Directions Divine Seal was merely a three-star Star Treasure. Naturally, Ling Feng had no interest in it.

In the God Demon Battlefield, Ling Feng and the Despicable Donkey seized a treasure vault from an Ancient Sword Emperor. Now, in his Five Elements Heavenly Palace, not to mention Star Treasures, even Sun and Moon Treasures were abundant.

Only treasures of the Heaven and Earth level could entice Ling Feng to compete.

"Haha, what do you all mean by this? Keep fighting, don't stop. I'm just passing by."

Ling Feng chuckled at Lei Bao and then casually left with Bai Ling'er, not even glancing back.

"Uh..."

Lei Bao and the two groups paused briefly in a daze, all feeling relieved, before suddenly shouting again and fighting resumed.

Though Ling Feng wasn't interested in a three-star Star Treasure, for them, it was a priceless treasure.

...

Ling Feng and Bai Ling'er continued forward. Every so often they'd see a group fighting, battling over things that weren't particularly rare, leaving Ling Feng uninterested in them.

In the second layer's region, every street intersected extensively. Ling Feng's treasure hunting depended entirely on the Despicable Donkey's senses.

However, on this journey, the Despicable Donkey hadn't sensed much. It seemed Bai Ling'er's words held truth; after hundreds of years of looting, the so-called treasure vaults had little treasure left.

Suddenly, a pungent scent of blood and decay permeated the air.

Ling Feng's brows gathered as Lingtian Sword Formation abruptly unfolded. A series of "clanging" sounds of collision followed, and Bai Ling'er's pupils contracted, also noticing the sneak attack.

It was a torrent of hidden weapons, countless tiny needle-shaped weapons, their tips coated with extremely poisonous toxins, wrapped in demon essence, and possessing incredible penetration.

"Sneak attack!"

Ling Feng snorted coldly. With a flick of his hand, Ten Directions Annihilation swept out, sword lights flashing across the sky, coalescing into a gigantic black giant sword. With a wave of his hand, a sword was cleaved out into the darkness.

Screams immediately sounded, and the hidden assailant swiftly met their end.

Simultaneously, two figures flew out from the darkness. A glimpse of crimson could be vaguely seen. The figures flashed and disappeared back into the darkness, motionless.

"Why aren't you chasing them?"

Bai Ling'er asked as Ling Feng dissolved his Divine Sense Domain, showing no interest in pursuit.

"No point in chasing. Just a bunch of small fry." Ling Feng chuckled, "I can tell just from guessing that they must be from the Red Dragon Hall, unable to confront openly, so they resort to underhanded tricks."

"Red Dragon Hall?" Bai Ling'er paused, "Weren't they supposed to have already left?"

"Only the Flame Tiger Demon Emperor left; did you really think everyone else left too?"

Ling Feng smirked, eyes flashing with brilliance. With Yain Xue turned into a fool, presenting no real threat, the deepest grudge against him naturally came from Chi Gui.

It seems the lesson I taught him last time wasn't harsh enough!

This Chi Gui, it seems there's no need for him to remain! Since he's playing dirty, don't blame me for playing ruthlessly!
