The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO

Unexpectedly, Jiete felt a trace of indiscernible disappointment flash through his heart. He thought they could latch onto a stronger backer, but didn't realize that the other party didn't want to get involved in the Siteli family's internal strife. This was why they managed to escape with their lives.

"As for you..." The Blood Howl City Master looked at Ling Feng and said, "It's been a long time since I saw such a talented young prodigy like you. If I were part of Blood Howl City, I would nurture you well! As for you killing Ghost Hand, such a thing is not even worth mentioning to me."

Ling Feng's heart skipped a beat. He could hear from the Blood Howl City Master's words that he was serious! But the more serious he was, the more alarmed and fearful Ling Feng felt!

No matter what, Ghost Hand was still his subordinate. Yet he didn't care at all about Ghost Hand's death. How ruthless could one's heart be?

"What if I refuse?" Ling Feng thought for a moment and said.

Apart from Ling Feng, the other three's expressions subtly changed. Fairly speaking, the Blood Howl City Master was already quite kind and considerate. If Ling Feng continued to refuse now, it would really seem like he was publicly embarrassing the Blood Howl City Master.

"Boss!" Jiete felt anxious. Did Ling Feng take the wrong medicine or something? Does he have to provoke the Blood Howl City Master? If the Blood Howl City Master gets angry and strikes, their chances of escaping are almost zero!

Ling Feng lightly glanced at Jiete. Jiete was startled by Ling Feng's cold, indifferent gaze and swallowed back the words that were already at his throat.

Seeing Jiete quiet down, Ling Feng turned back and continued to ask, "Would the City Lord get so angry that he'd kill us?"

The Blood Howl City Master laughed heartily, "Interesting, not only are you talented, but you also suit my tastes; I like you a lot! Rest assured, my heart is not that petty. However... the Divine Cloud Continent is on the edge of the Divine Realm Continent, very chaotic, and everything here speaks with power. I can't guarantee that other domain lords will be as reasonable as I am!"

Ling Feng furrowed his brows, uncertain if the Blood Howl City Master's words were a threat or advice!

Suddenly, an eerie wail came again from the swamp. This time, the mental shock within the wail was even stronger. Although the Bright Saintess promptly set up a protective barrier, under the impact of the sound waves, cracks appeared on it, and it seemed about to give way.

At this moment, a surging power surfaced on the protective barrier, helping the Bright Saintess and others resist the sonic attack.

"It's you!" Ling Feng looked at the Blood Howl City Master with a complicated gaze. No one expected that he would help them fend off this attack.

"No need to thank me!" Before anyone could speak, the Blood Howl City Master said flatly, "I mentioned that I would need your help later, so consider this an exchange for now!"

Ling Feng asked in a deep voice, "What can we help you with? What do you need us to do?"

The Blood Howl City Master's gaze focused deep into the swamp, saying casually, "I am not sure yet, but you'll know when the time comes!"

With that, the Blood Howl City Master took a deep breath and then struck the swamp with his palm. A fierce gust of wind dispelled the surrounding dense fog. Then, with a flick of his finger, a path appeared before them, separating the swamp.

"Let's go!" Saying this, the Blood Howl City Master stepped forward into the depths of the swamp.

The Bright Saintess leaned closer to Ling Feng's ear, whispering, "Ling Feng, why do I feel something's off? This Blood Howl City Master wouldn't be tricking us, would he? I feel uneasy about this."

Ling Feng smiled helplessly, "Even if he's tricking us, he does have the position to do so! Right now, we have no choice but to follow. Besides... I have a feeling that there's really no irreconcilable grudge between us and the Blood Howl City Master!"

Saying this, Ling Feng silently added in his heart, "It's just that our strength is too weak. If we had power to crush him, would the Blood Howl City Master still treat us with such high regard?"

One can't help but bow under the eaves, Ling Feng thought, patting the Bright Saintess on the shoulder, and then followed behind the Blood Howl City Master.

After about ten minutes, they reached the deepest part of the swamp. The air above was filled with green toxic gas, and the eerie wailing had vanished.

Suddenly, a thunderous sound came from ahead, followed by several Qi Arrows shooting forth, creating shockwaves in the air.

Bang, bang, bang! With a wave of his hand, the Blood Howl City Master deflected the Qi Arrows with an invisible wall, sending them blasting into the surrounding swamp.

"Zi Yue, I know you're in there. Why won't you come out to see me?" The Blood Howl City Master suddenly shouted, "It was my fault back then, but won't you even give me a chance for redemption?"

No sound came from the swamp, as if it was empty inside!

The Blood Howl City Master frowned, glanced at Ling Feng and the others, then made a grabbing motion. Jillan Specially felt an overwhelming force coming at her.

When everyone reacted, Jillan Specially was already in the grasp of the Blood Howl City Master.

"What are you doing!" Jiete shouted angrily, his eyes red, "Release my lady!"

The Blood Howl City Master snorted coldly, "Noisy!"

Jiete's body suddenly trembled, then he stiffly fell to the ground.

Ling Feng's eyes narrowed. After checking Jiete's condition and confirming he merely fainted, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this the help you need from us?" Ling Feng couldn't help but think to himself.

The Blood Howl City Master squeezed Jillan Specially's neck, shouting into the depths, "Zi Yue, I know your wish. You've always wanted to return to see the Siteli Family. Right now, I have a member of the Siteli Family's direct lineage in my hand. I only ask you to come out and meet me, or else I will strangle this girl!"

The Bright Saintess frowned and was about to step forward, but Ling Feng held her back.

Confused, the Bright Saintess looked at Ling Feng. He shook his head slightly, indicating not to act rashly.

"But Jilan might be killed!" The Bright Saintess whispered.

Ling Feng said, "She won't be. This is just a method the Blood Howl City Master is using to force the other party to appear!"

Actually, Ling Feng had another thought in his heart. The Blood Howl City Master's emotions were very unstable right now. If they provoked him at this moment, Ling Feng and the Bright Saintess could very well be killed by the furious Blood Howl City Master!

For a girl they only knew for a few days, sacrificing their lives wasn't something Ling Feng would do foolishly! Moreover, Ling Feng understood very well the burden he carried and couldn't possibly act impulsively.
