The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO

Shenyan's eyes revealed a hint of gratitude. Although he expressed allegiance to Ling Feng, it didn't mean he wasn't angry inside, especially since Liu Wuyun held him in high esteem. Now that Ling Feng allowed him to bury Liu Wuyun, this offered a bit of solace to Shenyan.

The group led by Ling Feng entered the city, and Jiete's face showed a mix of emotions. Just days ago, they fled from Blood-roar Castle like dogs with their tails between their legs, yet now they could swagger back in.

"All of this is thanks to Big Brother Ling!" Jiete looked at Ling Feng's back view ahead, feeling a surge of admiration.

Ling Feng stepped into Blood-roar Castle, discovering its bustling prosperity. The wide streets were lined with shops, and hawking voices rose incessantly.

"It's indeed flourishing here!" Ling Feng mumbled quietly.

Situ walked beside Ling Feng, chuckling lightly as he said, "Sir, do you think our Blood-roar Castle shouldn't look so peaceful?"

Ling Feng smiled and didn't hide his thoughts, nodding directly, "Exactly, I always imagined Blood-roar Castle should appear more... harsh, but unexpectedly..."

"That's because these people don't truly belong to Blood-roar Castle!" Situ seemed quite interested in Ling Feng. Walking beside him, Situ explained, "In the Divine Cloud Continent, there are three types. One, like us, belong to various ruling forces. Another are the slaves, exiled from the Divine Realm and sent here as punishment. The last type are people with normal statuses, like what you're seeing, sir!"

"These people are the foundation of all forces. Some are anonymous super experts, others are representatives of the super Noble Clans from the Divine Realm, and some are native residents with extensive connections. In the Divine Cloud Continent, those without abilities are long devoured by others!" Situ said with a smile.

Ling Feng slowly nodded, "So this isn't the entirety of Blood-roar Castle?"

Situ nodded, "You're right. I assume your understanding of Blood-roar Castle is limited to Jiete's description? But Jiete is merely a slave, his understanding is quite superficial. If you truly want to seize control of Blood-roar Castle, relying solely on Jiete won't work!"

Ling Feng watched Situ with interest, "I wonder what your intention is, Situ?"

Situ smiled and said, "I believe you need someone who truly understands Blood-roar Castle and someone who can represent you. I humbly volunteer to assist you, sir!"

Ling Feng looked at Situ, half-smiling, then patted Situ's shoulder, "I'll seriously consider your suggestion! However, there's one question I haven't figured out. Could you perhaps enlighten me, Situ?"

Situ said seriously, "What would you like to know, sir?"

"In Blood-roar Castle, what exactly is the existence of the Blood Howl City Master? A true ruler, or merely a nominal spokesperson?" Ling Feng turned his head, asking with a smile.

...

Blood-roar Castle is large, comparable to a bustling provincial city on Earth. Through conversation, Ling Feng learned that within Blood-roar Castle, it could accommodate over a million people of the God race. And in the Divine Cloud Continent, there are several other castles of similar size, while smaller ones are countless. Across the Divine Cloud Continent, there are at least tens of millions of people from the God race.

Upon hearing this number, Ling Feng couldn't help but click his tongue. He realized, among so many people from the God race, how many could have reached a power level above the God Realm? And throughout the Divine Realm, how many experts might exist above the God Realm?

Recalling the numbers Ling Hai had shared before, Ling Feng suddenly suspected a lot of exaggeration might be involved!

Indeed, official statistics everywhere are always the crappiest!

The City Lord's Mansion was in the castle's center. With the Blood Howl City Master now dead, it naturally became the resting place for Ling Feng and his group.

"Finally, we can relax!" Bright Saintess lay on a soft bed, expressing contentedly, "I hadn't expected so much to happen just after entering the Divine Realm. I feel completely unanchored inside. Now we can finally breathe easy."

Ling Feng sat on a chair beside, fiddling with a pair of Luminous Pearls, and laughed lightly, "Breathing easy? I don't think so. Haven't you noticed? We're in more danger now than before!"

Bright Saintess was startled, sitting up on the bed, "More dangerous than before? Why?"

Ling Feng sighed and said, "Don't you find everything came too smoothly for us?"

"Isn't being smooth a good thing?" Bright Saintess asked puzzlingly, "Isn't all this smoothness due to Sister Zi Yue? Must a great battle occur for you to feel content?"

Ling Feng shook his head with a wry smile, "That's not what I mean. I just think, if just any expert at the Sea of Gods Realm could take over Blood-roar Castle, why didn't those hidden forces and big families do so? As you saw, Blood-roar Castle is vast, with a population over a million. Among them, surely there are those at the Sea of Gods Realm?"

Bright Saintess found Ling Feng's words curious, "So you mean..."

"I think we may have walked right into a trap!" Ling Feng said solemnly, "I always feel like there's a pair of eyes watching me from behind, this feeling... is deeply unsettling! But... we're isolated here and can only take one step at a time!"

At this moment, a voice came from outside, "Ling Feng, may I come in?"

"It's Sister Zi Yue!" Bright Saintess glanced at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng nodded slightly and said, "Sister Zi Yue, please come in."

Once Zi Yue entered, she looked at Ling Feng and Bright Saintess, smiling, "I thought I was coming at a bad time."

Bright Saintess blushed slightly, "Sister Zi Yue, you're teasing me again. There's nothing between me and... Ling Feng!"

Zi Yue looked amusedly at Bright Saintess's slightly flushed face, shaking her head. It was clear to Zi Yue that Bright Saintess had feelings for Ling Feng, a fact not escaping her keen eyes.

Ling Feng chuckled softly, "Sister Zi Yue, you must have serious matters to discuss if you're here, so don't keep us in suspense!"

Zi Yue tapped Ling Feng's forehead, saying, "When you speak, at a glance, you look young, yet like such a cunning old fox. Why not guess my purpose in seeking you out?"
