The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO

The Bright Saintess nodded, then began to search through Liu Wuyun's desk. Meanwhile, Ling Feng wandered in front of the bookshelf, scanning the books on it.

At this moment, a book titled "The History of Development of the Divine Realm Continent" caught Ling Feng's eye, drawing his attention.

He pulled the book from the shelf and carefully flipped through it. It mainly recorded the entire history of the Divine Realm from its origin to its prosperity, also documenting various downturns and hardships along the way. However, ultimately, the people of the Divine Race persevered, resulting in the current Divine Realm.

"Heh, nothing but stuff for the ignorant!" Ling Feng sneered after finishing the book.

Because this book on the history of the Divine Realm did not document the invasion of Earth back in the day, nor did it clarify the current calamity facing the Divine Realm!

It was apparent that even the rulers at the top of the Divine Realm didn't want everyone to know about the current predicament of the Divine Realm; if panic were to arise, it could result in immeasurable consequences.

Nevertheless, Ling Feng still gleaned much useful information from it, gaining at least a more intuitive understanding and awareness of the entire Divine Realm.

"Ling Feng, come over here and take a look at this!" At this moment, the Bright Saintess called out to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng set down the book in his hand and walked over. In the Bright Saintess's hand was a sealed box, with a seal on the box, indicating the contents inside were something Liu Wuyun valued.

"Let's put this away first and see if Sister Zi Yue can unseal it!" Ling Feng suggested, "Aside from this, there's nothing else of value discovered?"

The Bright Saintess shook her head, "No, I've searched three times in here, and besides some books and notes, there's nothing else of value. I found this box in a hidden compartment in the desk!"

Ling Feng furrowed his brow. He had heard from Jiete that he had seen a letter from the Siteli Family to Liu Wuyun. Ling Feng didn't believe Liu Wuyun would burn all the letters immediately after reading them.

"I suspect there's another secret chamber or hidden compartment here that we don't know about!" Ling Feng pondered quietly. However, for the time being, it was impossible for Ling Feng and his team to find the hidden compartment.

"Knock, knock, knock!" The sound of knocking on the door came from outside.

Ling Feng demanded in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"Lord, there are people from the Shi Family here to visit!" came the voice of the servant from outside.

People from the Shi Family? Ling Feng frowned and then replied, "I understand. Have Situ entertain them first; I'll be there shortly!"

Turning back to the Bright Saintess, Ling Feng said, "Take this box and find Sister Zi Yue, see if she can undo the seal on the box. I'll go meet this so-called Shi Family!"

When Ling Feng arrived at the front hall, he saw Situ chatting happily with a handsome young man.

"Lord Ling, this is the outstanding young talent of our Blood Cry City Shi Family, Shi Yun!" Situ stood up respectfully when he saw Ling Feng come in and said.

Shi Yun? Ling Feng looked at Shi Yun and discovered that Shi Yun was a Mid Divine Realm expert, higher by a few levels in Realm compared to himself.

"Presumably, this is our New City Lord of Blood Cry City, Lord Ling Feng!" Shi Yun extended his hand towards Ling Feng, "I am Shi Yun from the Shi Family!"

Seeing that Ling Feng's cultivation was only at the Early Stage of the Divine Realm, a hint of disdain flashed in Shi Yun's eyes. Just a fledgling in the Divine Realm, yet daringly trying to seize Blood Cry City, was simply reckless!

The scorn in Shi Yun's eyes did not escape Ling Feng's notice. He became a bit wary in his heart, realizing that Shi Yun was indeed rather arrogant.

"Pleasure to meet you!" Ling Feng smiled and then pointed to a seat, "Sit down. I wonder what you were discussing just now? You seemed to be very lively!"

Situ pursed his lips, "We were just talking about some trivial matters. However, Shi Yun came for a serious matter for you, Lord!"

Ling Feng looked at Shi Yun, who took out an invitation from his chest and said, "Lord Ling, this is an invitation from my father, hoping you'll attend our Shi Family's banquet tomorrow evening. Our Shi Family will certainly be honored to await your arrival!"

Ling Feng looked at the invitation embossed in gold and smiled slightly, "Since your father invited me, I, Ling Feng, will naturally arrive on time!"

As he said this, he reached out to take the invitation. When Ling Feng's hand touched the invitation, a strong surge of dark energy suddenly emanated from it.

Ling Feng's expression slightly changed. If he couldn't withstand it, the invitation would explode on the spot, but if he did, it could possibly injure him!

Seeing the ridicule in Shi Yun's eyes, Ling Feng knew this was Shi Yun's way of issuing a "challenge." Whether this was his own intention or the Shi Family's, Ling Feng was not sure yet.

However, the mere dark energy was of no concern to Ling Feng. With a slight turn of the Sword Qi in his body, the dark energy vanished without a trace.

"I'll take the invitation! I will surely be there. Do you have any other matters?" Ling Feng looked at Shi Yun with an indifferent gaze.

Shi Yun's face showed surprise and a bit of displeasure! Ling Feng had effortlessly neutralized his dark energy, making Shi Yun feel quite embarrassed.

But now, he couldn't say anything, so with a cold face, he said, "In that case, I will await the arrival of the Lord!"

With that, he turned and left.

Ling Feng watched Shi Yun's back disappear, playfully placed the invitation on the table, and tapped it lightly, "Situ, what's the identity of the Shi Family?"

Situ gave a bitter smile, "The Shi Family is an old-established family in Blood Cry City. If the City Lord is the apparent ruler of Blood Cry City, then the Shi Family is the underground ruler! Previously, Liu Wuyun had a good relationship with the Shi Family. Now that you, Lord, have replaced Liu Wuyun, the Shi Family naturally has some thoughts!"

Ling Feng mused, "So, the banquet tomorrow won't be a simple affair, a feast without goodwill indeed!"

Situ chuckled, "No need to worry, my Lord. Though the Shi Family is domineering, they have maintained peace with Blood Cry City for a long time. I think the Shi Family Head's purpose tomorrow is merely to test your bottom line."

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "Let's hope the Shi Family knows when to yield; otherwise, I won't mind making the Shi Family disappear entirely from Blood Cry City!"

Situ's eyes twitched, but he said nothing.

Stretching his back, Ling Feng said, "Alright, you may leave now; I want to rest!"

Situ chuckled softly, "Then I won't disturb your rest, my Lord!"
