Chapter 216: Chapter 2807: The Edge One

Lin Fei held his elbow level, with Shuang’er gently sitting on top, the two of them constantly flickering rapidly. Numerous surrounding objects transformed into a blur resembling flowing lights.

"What exactly is the subdivision of the Wu Family’s combat power?" Lin Fei asked.

"The target set by brother, Wu Haiyi, is the head of the Orange Division of the Wu Family’s Seven Colors Division. His specific strength is unknown, but he is the most likely person responsible for transferring the Divine Artifact. However, based on the combat situation between the Wu Family and their opponent, Forest of the Sky, only a Dream Eater possessing a Light of True Lies is qualified to preside."

"Light of True Lies? Is it equivalent to ten condensed bodies of the Power of True Lies? How strong is Wu Haiyi?" Lin Fei asked.

Their conversation, even while moving at high speed, sounded exceptionally clear.

"Known as the Merciless Orange, he has an extremely violent temper, killing at the slightest provocation. Preliminary estimates suggest at least a C-level and above," said Shuang’er clearly.

"What about the Forest of the Sky?"

"Led by three head Dream Eaters, known as the Three Lords of the Forest. The strongest among them is Qingzhu."

"How about the combat personnel on both sides? Should be as expected, right?" Lin Fei said with a smile.

"Yes. Forest of the Sky and Jinneng Temple have both begun massively recruiting idle Dream Eaters. I’ve also received two invitations," Shuang’er suddenly pointed to the left, "We are here. This is the gathering place of Yao Qin, one of the three leaders of the Forest of the Sky."

Lin Fei’s figure suddenly halted. His face instantly changed to that of a middle-aged man, and his shape also subtly altered.

In just about ten minutes, he had arrived on a small hill on the edge of Kyoto City; the city lights viewed from the hill looked like a sea of lights.

"The Wu Family’s current situation is very difficult. Forest of the Sky and Jinneng Temple have each dispatched powerful figures to forcibly occupy this area," explained Shuang’er. "Now, the situation is that the Wu Family couldn’t withdraw the ordinary combat power from the cities in time and were directly suppressed into Capital City without being able to emerge. Now they should be gathering forces from all places."

Lin Fei nodded, turned around, and looked toward the mountain range opposite the direction of Kyoto City. Under the night sky, the undulating mountain range appeared a dark green-black.

"This is the north side of Kyoto. It should all be mountainous terrain. People unfamiliar with the terrain are indeed at a disadvantage. Let’s go, and meet one of the three great figures of the Forest of the Sky."

A gentle breeze passed, and the two disappeared from their spot.

****************

Less than twenty kilometers north of Kyoto City, in a fluctuating mountain forest.

Huge evil auras continually circled and roamed above this area. These auras, invisible to the common people, resembled thick clouds, completely enveloping the whole place.

Among them were also dozens of faintly distinguishable different auras.

On the dark mountain waist, a white small manor quietly stood. The manor was entirely gray-white, resembling a European-style villa. A half-person-high iron fence surrounded a large area around it.

Inside, it was clear that various vegetables like cabbages and green beans were planted. At the entrance of the manor, a white kerosene lamp-shaped electric light was the only light source, perfectly enveloping the entire front of the manor. Beyond it lay the deep shadows of the forest. The light flickered gently with the breeze.

There was a car driveway at the front of the manor that could connect directly to the highway, the only link to the outside world.

A young woman in a black silk bodycon dress was slowly watering the vegetable garden with a large watering can. Normally, people use buckets and scoops for watering vegetables; watering cans are usually for flowers, but strangely, this woman was using a watering can for the vegetables.

The silk black bodycon dress reflected a faint light under the lamplight, outlining the woman’s beautiful figure. She was focused, attentively watering bit by bit. Her skin, as white as jade, starkly contrasted with the black silk dress.

Suddenly, the faint sound of a car engine came from outside the manor fence. The sound approached from afar and soon arrived at the entrance. Then came the clear sound of getting out of the car, and the footsteps of two men, one after the other, quickly walked to the manor fence and gently pushed open the iron gate.

The appearances of the visitors were also revealed under the light. It was two men, one middle-aged with wrinkles beginning to show on his forehead, but his eyes were calm. The other was much younger, but with a fierce scar on the left side of his face. Both were dressed in ordinary gray sportswear. They appeared to be out for regular exercise.

The two entered the manor and, seeing the woman, both had a vigilant expression and became cautious.

Seeing the woman watering, the two didn’t dare to disturb and just quietly stood aside waiting.

About half an hour later, the woman finally finished using the water in the watering can. She looked up and scanned the two men in front of her.

"What problem has arisen this time?" she asked.

The older man bowed his head and said,

"The Blue Division of the Wu Family used the ’Child of Void’ to directly descend into the Third District, the defenders like Gan Qitao suffered heavy losses, with only him escaping from the entire division’s head."

"Children of the Void are always a nuisance," the woman frowned and said. "Notify Meng Qing at Jinneng Temple to hurry up. The people from the Five Families cannot be left behind."

"Yes," the two men replied respectfully.

"Of the Wu Family’s Seven Divisions, I killed the Purple, and the people from Jinneng Temple handled the Green. That leaves five divisions. Let’s see how they cope this time," instructed the woman. "How are things on Qingzhu’s side?"

"Currently, he is confronting the Wu Family’s Four Divisions. Waiting for the right moment to attack. Recently, the White of the Seven Divisions was killed unexpectedly while on a mission. Lord Qingzhu suspects it was the work of the Snowy Realm," the middle-aged man answered.

"We three families have fought for so many years, yet this mere Divine Artifact parts family thinks they can unify the entire Hua Nation. I wonder if they’re overly confident or too arrogant to think that with the Power of True Lies, they’re invincible. The people of the Snowy Realm have always been mysterious; ignore them. However, managing to kill the White, I wonder how much strength they had to use to achieve that," the woman pondered briefly. "The Black of the Wu Family is Wu Yanqing. They definitely wouldn’t send him out; he’s the next head of the family. Right now, the entire Wu Family only has five divisions with Combat Power. Essentially, we hold the upper hand. But their true powerhouses, the brothers Wu Duanshan and Wu Duanhe haven’t appeared yet. These two old men are tough to deal with. Then there’s the Divine Artifact part, which is also troublesome; this thing is a hot potato - anyone who takes it is immediately exposed, unless they’re from the Artifact Family."

"If possible, I am quite interested in the Divine Artifact part."

Outside the fence, a slender figure slowly emerged from the shadows. Holding a Black Longsword in one hand, his expression was blank and his skin was yellowish.

"Forest of the Sky welcomes any powerhouse who joins the pursuit against the Wu Family," the woman said with a smile, not at all surprised by his appearance. "I am Yao Qin." She turned around to face him directly.

There are always people curious about Divine Artifact parts, any powerhouse confident in their own strength. There are many who want to try the Power of True Lies. This man was no exception.

"Regarding the dispute over the Divine Artifact part, there have already been five powerhouses who have explicitly expressed their interest in the part."

"No matter. You may call me Lin Mu," the newcomer stated calmly.

"Please, come inside; many have already arrived," invited Yao Qin.

Lin Mu nodded, carrying his sword, he entered the mansion. The door was unlocked, gently pushed open as he entered.

"Those who have managed to reach my temporary estate are powerhouses who are not confused by the Illusionary Sounds above. Ordinary Dream Eaters simply can’t even see this mansion and die halfway here. It’s an unexpected pleasure, having another expert appear just before the action starts," Yao Qin said with a smile.

"Go, have Qingzhu prepare to take action."

The two men bowed respectfully, then left the mansion and drove away.

Yao Qin’s figure suddenly dissipated, turning into countless grey evil energies that joined the large cloud of evil energy above. The water bottle in her hand also fell directly into the soil.

*****************

Lin Fei pushed the door open and entered.

Scattered around the room stood about four or five people,

Two men were conversing softly. A woman was adding wood near a closet. And two other men were eating at a table. The atmosphere in the room was somewhat gloomy.

Noticing Lin Fei’s entrance, everyone’s eyes naturally swept his way.

"Another one," murmured a long-haired man who was standing and talking; his hair like seaweed and his face showing his age. He wore a black, form-fitting outfit resembling that of a priest.

"The allure of the Divine Artifact is really powerful," remarked a handsome young man with messy hair, whistling softly, his tone flippant.

"Anyone who competes with me for the Divine Artifact must die!" another diner, a chubby man, mumbled through a mouthful of meat, his words unclear.

"Hmph," the handsome young man scoffed disdainfully, ignoring him and continuing to eat his own food. This meal seemed freshly cooked, although it was unclear where this food came from in such a desolate place.

"What? Upset?" the chubby man set down his chicken leg, glaring at the other.

"Absolutely," the handsome youth replied insincerely, "I’m done eating." He stood up, ready to leave.

Boom!

A red Aura burst forth from the chubby man’s mouth. It was incredibly fast; the others only saw a flash before the handsome young man was instantly engulfed in flames, melting down like a candle, turning into a pool of greasy liquid on the floor.

Ssssss......

Amidst faint sizzling sounds, the young man quickly reformed, unscathed, but he warily eyed the chubby man and huffed angrily before walking to a corner of the room.

Lin Fei found a chair near the door and sat down, quietly observing the room.

Clap, Clap, Clap...

Suddenly, applause came from the second floor. Yao Qin slowly emerged from the staircase, gently clapping her hands. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit qidian.com and offer your vote for Monthly Ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
