The White Horse King looked incredulously at Lingfeng, then glanced at the hand gripping his arm, seemingly both amused and exasperated.
Seeing the expression on the White Horse King's face, Lingfeng realized he had overdone it a bit and quickly withdrew his hand, saying, "Brother Bai, just accept it. There's no need to be polite with me!"
Just as he was hesitating, the Second Clerk rushed in, pushed open the door, and exclaimed, "Gentlemen, the people from the White Jade Escort Agency have arrived. Quickly hide!"
Lingfeng was naturally unafraid, but with the presence of the White Horse King, he couldn't manage everything alone. After a moment's thought, he casually stored the Gold Ingots into Xuanji and inexplicably picked up the White Horse King before jumping down the stairs.
The White Horse King appeared quite calm, as if the people from the White Jade Escort Agency were not after him at all, allowing Lingfeng to handle him as he pleased.
"Oh dear brother, could you have a bit of awareness about the main hall? We're being chased by the White Jade Escort Agency!" Lingfeng pulled the White Horse King next to the white horse and sat behind him.
"What does it matter if we live or die?" The White Horse King displayed a righteous demeanor again, as if life and death were of no concern to him.
Lingfeng shook his head and ignored him, softly instructing the horse, "Horse, escape through the back door!"
The horse remained silent but nodded lightly before galloping away like a white shadow through the back door.
Having witnessed the flying ability of the Crane Beast and experienced the speed of the Flying Sword, Lingfeng had never seen a horse run this fast. Although the white horse had been quick before, it was nothing like this.
"Why is this horse suddenly running so fast?" The wind whistled past Lingfeng's ears as he couldn't help but shout out loud.
The White Horse King heard Lingfeng's question and replied, "This horse can run this fast by nature. When I rent it out to others, I specifically tell it to slow down; otherwise, if someone with ill intentions notices it, it would lead to trouble!"
In an instant, they had already covered dozens of miles, and the horse's color gradually changed from white to blood red. Sitting on its back, Lingfeng saw everything in astonishment.
After running for a while longer, Lingfeng called out, "Horse, stop!"
The horse neighed once and came to an abrupt halt.
"Lingfeng, what are you doing?" The White Horse King asked in confusion as Lingfeng jumped off the horse.
Lingfeng patted the horse—perhaps it should now be called a red horse—and smiled, "Brother Bai, I still have things to take care of, so I can only take you this far. Also, I've packed these Gold Ingots for you; keep them for your journey!" He summoned a package and handed it to the White Horse King; inside were those Gold Ingots.
"Are you going back? Don't you want to come with me to the Divine Descendants Sanctuary?" The White Horse King expressed some concern. Although he believed that Lingfeng was powerful, the White Jade Escort Agency had many people and was cunning; Lingfeng might not be a match for them.
Lingfeng smiled calmly and waved his hand, saying, "My mission is too important; I probably can't enjoy the life of the divine race just yet. However, Brother Bai, if you truly are a descendant of the divine race, don't forget to come back and help me!"
With that, Lingfeng spun around and vanished without a trace.
On the vast plain, there was only one person and one horse. The endless grass swayed gently, enjoying the breeze like a baby.
The White Horse King's hair floated in the air, and then he elegantly shook his head and shouted, "Sweat Blood Horse, let's go!" A cloud of dust rose as both man and horse disappeared into the distance.
After sending off the White Horse King, Lingfeng returned to Bai Family Town. However, he did not go back to the inn but quietly approached the White Jade Escort Agency.
At this time, Bai Family Town had been completely sealed off. Aside from insects, it was difficult for anyone else to escape. Of course, our powerful Lingfeng was an exception.
Lingfeng had now arrived at the side wall of the White Jade Escort Agency, which had become his landing spot every time. He then gently climbed over the wall and entered the agency.
Inside, remnants of the previous fire still lingered, but most of it had already been renovated.
"I wonder how much money you still have left!" Lingfeng looked at the large courtyard of the White Jade Escort Agency and sneered.
As the saying goes, what is taken from the people should be used for the people. The White Jade Escort Agency didn't know how it became so wealthy; everyone knew that if it relied solely on transporting goods to make money, it would only earn half of what it currently possessed.
Lingfeng feigned a move and took out a firecracker from his sleeve. He gently blew on it, and a flame flickered to life.
A light breeze stirred Lingfeng's bangs, revealing his wicked smile.
Meanwhile, White Phoenix Mountain entered a secret chamber alone. Looking at the empty rock wall, he appeared much older.
"The escort agency has been set on fire one after another; how could you not notice?" The voice of Hall Master echoed from all directions. However, it lacked its previous imposing tone and sounded somewhat softened instead.
White Phoenix Mountain sighed and clasped his fists together. "Hall Master, that Lingfeng is indeed unfathomable. He has come to the escort agency multiple times but leaves without a trace; no one knows where he goes. Even Ziren cannot do anything about him now!"
Lingfeng always arrives by burrowing underground, and the outer wall of the White Jade Escort Agency has become Lingfeng's safe landing spot, though no one knows it. A great way to mess with the White Jade Escort Agency is to set it on fire.
“Where is the Soul-Devouring Cat now?” asked the Hall Master.
“The Soul-Devouring Cat was injured by Lingfeng last time and then burned; it's currently recuperating!” Last time, Lingfeng used a fireball. Ziren was so preoccupied that he forgot about the Soul-Devouring Cat, leaving it now as a naked cat!
The Hall Master pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, “This is the perfect time when the Soul-Devouring Cat is at its weakest. We can take this opportunity to seize its inner core.” After a pause, the Hall Master added, “Find a chance to bring it here. My body has almost recovered; if I consume its inner core, not only will I be completely healed, but my magical power will also increase significantly!”
White Phoenix Mountain's eyes lit up but then dimmed again as he whispered, “The Soul-Devouring Cat is easy to deceive, but right now Ziren is wholeheartedly protecting it and won't leave its side. I…”
Before he could finish, the Hall Master sternly interrupted, “If I consume the Soul-Devouring Cat's inner core, do you still need to fear Ziren?”
“Uh…” Although White Phoenix Mountain feared Ziren, he feared the Hall Master even more. After thinking for a moment, he finally said, “I will go handle it!”
After leaving the secret chamber, White Phoenix Mountain passed through the front yard and saw the mess everywhere, feeling a surge of sadness. The large White Jade Escort Agency had been easily burned down multiple times by Lingfeng.
Though the White Jade Escort Agency was vast, White Phoenix Mountain did not want to repair it again. So many incidents had already left him feeling overwhelmed.
Arriving at Ziren's room, White Phoenix Mountain paused.
“White Dart Master, come in!” came Ziren's listless voice from inside.
Startled, White Phoenix Mountain pushed open the door.
Inside, Ziren was sitting on the bed with the Soul-Devouring Cat lying on top.
“White Dart Master, what brings you here?” asked Ziren, his voice somewhat subdued as he gently fed a piece of meat to the Soul-Devouring Cat, as if caring for his own child.
“Sir, the injuries of the Soul-Devouring Cat are severe. I have a method that might help it recover faster!”
The hand holding the piece of meat paused in mid-air as Ziren turned his gaze toward White Phoenix Mountain. “What method?”
"Oh," White Phoenix Mountain slightly lowered his head and clasped his fists, "this is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors, and it needs to be used in a hidden place. As for the specifics, I cannot disclose!"
Ziren nodded and placed the piece of meat into the mouth of the Soul-Devouring Cat.
The Soul-Devouring Cat let out a mournful cry, its dim gaze fixed on Ziren, like a child waiting to be fed.
Ziren frowned and patted the Soul-Devouring Cat's head, saying, "When will it happen?"
A hint of barely noticeable surprise flashed in White Phoenix Mountain's eyes as he hurriedly replied, "It can be done tonight!"
Ziren stared at the Soul-Devouring Cat, revealing endless weariness. Ever since meeting the Soul-Devouring Cat, they had never been apart. But with the Soul-Devouring Cat severely injured, they had no choice but to listen to White Phoenix Mountain now.
That night, Ziren looked up at the night sky.
The round moon reflected Lingfeng's face, mischievous and wicked.
Ziren clenched his fists, biting his lip until blood appeared.
White Phoenix Mountain held the Soul-Devouring Cat and entered the secret chamber. The flickering firelight on the walls resembled a corridor in hell.
The Soul-Devouring Cat warily observed its surroundings, curling up due to discomfort.
"Hall Master, I've brought the Soul-Devouring Cat!" White Phoenix Mountain said as he entered the chamber, addressing the empty wall.
"Hahaha..." A raucous laughter echoed through the chamber, reverberating continuously.
"Meow~~!" The Soul-Devouring Cat emitted a threatening sound but was too weak to stand up.
"Put it down; I will handle it!" the Hall Master said.
White Phoenix Mountain placed the Soul-Devouring Cat on the ground and slowly backed away.
In the Townfront Inn, Lingfeng stood by the window, quietly gazing at the moon. The moonlight generously spilled onto Lingfeng's face, reflecting a frosty white.
After a while, Lingfeng hurriedly pushed open the door and called down, "Er, bring me the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone!"
Before long, Er brought up the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. After grinding the ink, he softly asked, "Hero, is there anything else you need?"
Lingfeng picked up the brush and paused for a moment. Relaxing his brow, he asked, "Er, can you write?"
"Oh, I learned to write before, but my handwriting isn't very good!" Er replied honestly.
Lingfeng smiled and placed the brush beside Er. "Then help me write a letter!" Although he had been in the Cultivation Realm for many years, Lingfeng still couldn't use a brush. Moreover, the characters used in the Cultivation Realm were traditional Chinese characters, which made it even more challenging for him.
Er was taken aback for a moment but then smiled and sat down at the table, exuding an air of a scholar. "Hero, go ahead!"
Lingfeng exhaled and thought for a moment before saying, "Enchanting, I am doing well. Don't worry. Due to busy matters, I won't say much..."
Following Lingfeng's instructions, Er wrote the letter and put away the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
"Er, please take this letter to the courier. The address is already written clearly on it!"
