The King of Urban Mercenaries

"If you didn’t step in, this wouldn’t have happened, right?"

"No, Lin Fei, that’s not what I meant," Little Black denied.

Lin Fei chuckled, "Are you saying I’m just Joss Paper? Whatever, let’s drop it."

At this moment, Lin Fei looked at Xiaodao and asked, "Is there a reason for your question?"

He knew that since Xiaodao was asking, it meant there was something Xiaodao wanted to say. Lin Fei hoped it was hope, but he was somewhat skeptical, because hope wasn’t that plentiful.

Xiaodao thought for a moment and said, "If we only need the Dragon Ball, there might be one in Wanshan Hill."

"What?!"

Little Black and Lin Fei were immediately astonished, feeling this news was simply unbelievable.

"Xiaodao, what do you mean by this? How can there be a Dragon Ball in Wanshan Hill? Where did you get this information?" Lin Fei was really skeptical, could it be there’s a Dragon Clan presence in Wanshan Hill?

"How could there be a Dragon Clan here? I don’t sense any Dragon Clan aura," Little Black sensed again and previously probed without finding any Dragon Clan aura.

Lin Fei looked at Xiaodao and asked, "Xiaodao, where did you get the information?"

"It’s heard from legends. I heard from others that not only do demon beasts run rampant in Wanshan Hill, but a very powerful demon beast ruler governs here, and it seemingly possesses a Dragon Ball, hoping to become stronger through it," Xiaodao explained.

Hearing the word "legend," half of the flame that just ignited in Lin Fei’s heart was extinguished. Are legends trustworthy?

"Legends are likely not reliable," Lin Fei shook his head.

"Master, wouldn’t you give it a try?" Xiaodao asked.

Lin Fei shook his head, "Forget it, let’s not waste time." Lin Fei felt that instead of wasting time searching, it was better to head directly to Qianhuang Peak and ask the people there to help save Little Black, it would be faster and more reliable. Wanshan Hill might not be feasible, with little hope.

"Little Black, let’s go to Qianhuang Peak to seek help," Lin Fei said.

At that moment, Lin Fei suddenly felt a vast aura emanating from the depths of Wanshan Hill, then vanished without a trace, as if nothing had happened, while Lin Fei and the others were already drenched in sweat. That power was so immense, like the overlord of this space.

"Is this? King Level?" Lin Fei was shocked, currently he was merely at the Nascent Soul Realm, more precisely, his recent breakthrough put him in the mid-Nascent Soul Realm, facing this abruptly appearing and disappearing power. It came very suddenly, yet it felt like the king of Wanshan Hill.

"Demon Beast King! It’s a King Level demon beast!" Little Black said, this power definitely belonged to the category of king, extremely formidable.

Lin Fei hadn’t expected there would be a Demon Beast King here, and a King Level demon beast at that, making him want to leave even faster. Little Black was severely injured, and if the beast discovered Little Black, the result would be disastrous.

"Little Black, let’s hurry up and go," Lin Fei said, ready to leave.

However, Lin Fei noticed Little Black hadn’t moved, not sure what the matter was, could Little Black have discovered something?

"Little Black, hurry up and leave," Lin Fei called out once more.

Little Black spoke, "Lin Fei, perhaps the legend is true."

"What?" Lin Fei was startled, asking, "You’re saying there’s really a Dragon Ball in Wanshan Hill?"

Little Black shook his head, "I’m not sure either, but within that power earlier, there was indeed a mix of our Dragon Clan aura, I think we should go and take a look."

Lin Fei nodded, "As long as it can save you, if there’s hope, we’ll try it!"

Since Lin Fei said so, Little Black nodded, and Little Black felt that at least Lin Fei wouldn’t have to face humans more terrifying than demon beasts at Qianhuang Peak, so he was willing to listen to Lin Fei, countermand Wanshan Hill.

Between Wanshan Hill and Qianhuang Peak, Lin Fei chose Wanshan Hill, as it’s closer, and they might get lucky. Little Black mentioned that, aside from demon beasts, there are also many spiritual medicines here, so perhaps they won’t need to go anywhere else and find spiritual medicine right here.

Soon, since Lin Fei and the others had made their decision, they began assigning tasks. This time Lin Fei didn’t intend to bring Xiaodao, leaving Xiaodao outside to wait for his return.

And Lin Fei, with Little Black, quietly ventured towards the depths of Wanshan Hill.

In the depths of Wanshan Hill, a massive ape was crouching currently, with pitch-black eyes and distinctive eye whites, he was exceedingly large like a small mountain but was prone on the ground as if he had lost his strength.

At present, in front of the ape, there was a pool of water, incomparably clear, yet within the water was an extremely dark hole, appearing to connect to an abyss below, unfathomably deep.

Nonetheless, this massive ape demon beast still lay next to the abyss, motionless, seemingly resting.

After much hardship, Lin Fei cautiously avoided demon beasts and finally reached the edge of Wanshan Hill’s center.

The demon beasts here were predominantly at the True Body Realm Third Transition or Fourth Transition; Lin Fei even encountered a powerful Seventh Transition True Body Realm demon beast. Such a beast, if leaving Wanshan Hill, would be of catastrophic level, likely capable of destroying small city-states, which is why Lin Fei was shocked. These demon beasts were well settled here, though he didn’t understand the reason.

Ahead, a massive Golden Crystal Tiger was resting inside a cave, retreating its hind half into the cave and exposing its front half at the entrance, closing its eyes as if asleep.

Now Lin Fei needed to pass in front of the Golden Crystal Tiger, as this was a valley leading to the interior of Wanshan Hill. If not passing through here, he would have to climb mountains and ridges with unknown dangers, so he cautiously moved, akin to a slow-moving snail, avoiding making any noise.

Lin Fei moved lightly, not daring to use True Qi, otherwise this Golden Crystal Tiger would surely erupt in rage and attack him.

But fortunately, Lin Fei quietly and calmly left the cliff area in front of the Golden Crystal Tiger. Of course, the tiger also sensed Lin Fei’s scent, feeling strange, because during this time, Lin Fei passed in front of the Golden Crystal Tiger and the tiger also smelled Lin Fei’s scent.

Suddenly, the Golden Crystal Tiger opened its eyes, golden light flickering...
