Lingfeng dropped the words and walked away without looking back.
Fei Fei cautiously glanced behind and saw that Invisible Ghost was still standing there in a daze, unable to help but laugh, "He seems to be scared, standing there without moving!"
"But what puzzles me is why our Demonic Melody has no effect on him!" Jiao Jiao said thoughtfully.
Fei Fei dismissed it with a glance at Jiao Jiao, "How do you know Demonic Melody has no effect on him? Have you sung to him?"
Although Fei Fei was joking, Jiao Jiao's expression turned serious as she shook her head and said, "No, that's not it. When we used Demonic Melody against Snow Wolf, Invisible Ghost was right behind us. Even though he was hiding his presence, he could still hear Demonic Melody, yet we didn't notice him!"
Lingfeng remained silent, a smile on his face as if he knew something.
Upon hearing Jiao Jiao's analysis, Fei Fei was taken aback and quickly said, "You make a good point. Could it be that he is immune to our Demonic Melody?"
At that moment, Lingfeng broke the silence and casually took out two pairs of earplugs made from Millennium Oak from his pocket, looking confidently at the two puzzled beauties.
"I thought I only gave you one pair of earplugs. How do you have two pairs?" Fei Fei asked in confusion.
Lingfeng smiled and glanced back. Fei Fei looked behind and realized that Invisible Ghost had already vanished from the spot.
"Could it be..." Fei Fei understood and exchanged a secretive smile with Jiao Jiao.
Lingfeng nodded and then inserted the earplugs into his ears. At that moment, a melodious and enchanting song began to play, with magical notes attracting birds to gather around. The entire world became exceptionally beautiful under the influence of Demonic Melody.
Sure enough, after they had not sung for long, a nearby scene suddenly changed, and then with a thud, a person fell to the ground—it was none other than Invisible Ghost.
The two finally stopped singing and looked at Invisible Ghost with amusement.
"Five Elements Young Master, how did you get his earplugs?" Fei Fei asked as the three approached the soundly sleeping Invisible Ghost.
Lingfeng played with the earplugs, smiling mysteriously. "I've been through a lot; my cultivation level is beyond what you can imagine, so I have many methods. I took these earplugs from him when the opportunity arose, of course, you wouldn't know any of this!"
The Millennium Oak Earplugs were made from oak, with wood being the primary material. Lingfeng had already learned the basics of the Wood Control Technique, so whenever others weren't paying attention, he could easily use it to stealthily take the oak earplugs from Invisible Ghost.
During the battle with the Snow Wolf, Lingfeng had already guessed that someone was following him; he just wasn't sure who it was. However, he knew that this person was not only monitoring him but was also following Hezi's orders to protect Fei Fei, Jiao Jiao, and himself.
Thus, Lingfeng deliberately roasted meat on the grassland. Wolves have a keen sense of smell and can detect prey from a great distance, tracking them based on the scent's direction.
However, Lingfeng was surprised when twenty Snow Wolves appeared at once because he only intended to pretend to be outmatched to draw out his hidden observer. Fortunately for Lingfeng, those Snow Wolves were not as powerful as he had imagined, allowing him to easily deal with them.
Yet, the leader of the Snow Wolves exceeded Lingfeng's expectations in strength, and being frozen was also beyond his plan. However, since Lingfeng was proficient in Water Control Technique, simple freezing didn't pose much harm to him. So he decided to turn the situation to his advantage, which ultimately led to Ninja Invisible Ghost being drawn out.
Later, in Niujia Village, Lingfeng learned about the hidden secrets within the Cultivation Realm months from a knowledgeable person. Upon returning to the foot of the mountain, he took advantage of the moment to use Wood Control Technique and stealthily stole the Millennium Oak Earplugs from Invisible Ghost. As a result, Invisible Ghost couldn't resist Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao's Demonic Melody and fell into a deep slumber.
Now that Invisible Ghost had been subdued, Lingfeng and his companions were overjoyed and hurriedly quickened their pace to other locations.
Of course, Lingfeng had already prepared for what was next. Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao definitely couldn't accompany Lingfeng to Spirit Sect. The only way to prevent Hezi from finding her sisters was to send them to a place where cultivators resided so they could live incognito.
Having shaken off Invisible Ghost, Lingfeng remained silent throughout the journey. Meanwhile, Fei Fei and her sister were completely immersed in their joy of escaping from the Alliance, looking around as if they were children who had never left home and completely oblivious to Lingfeng's expression.
They arrived at a town that, while not bustling, still had some street stalls that caught the attention of the two sisters.
"Sister, look! It's Mask!" Jiao Jiao pulled Fei Fei towards a stall, intrigued by the Mask displayed there.
Lingfeng patiently watched the two sisters play, simply standing by and smiling. Once they made their selections, she summoned Copper Coins from Xuanji and handed them to the stall owner.
Fei Fei chose two Mask, giving Lingfeng a black skull Mask, while she picked a white and understated Mask for herself. Jiao Jiao, on the other hand, happily grabbed a Bird Mask.
"What else do you like? Let's buy it together!" Lingfeng spoke in an unexpectedly calm tone, her usual carefree demeanor seemingly vanished.
Only then did Fei Fei notice the change in Lingfeng's expression. She covered her smile and quietly asked, " Five Elements Young Master, do you have something on your mind?"
"No, not at all, heh heh!" Lingfeng forced a smile that felt insincere.
Lingfeng's expression was too fake; anyone could see through it. Although Jiao Jiao was eager to play, she noticed that both Lingfeng and Fei Fei seemed to have something going on, so she stopped playing and joined them.
The three stood there: Fei Fei looking at Lingfeng, Jiao Jiao looking at both Fei Fei and Lingfeng, while Lingfeng helplessly gazed up at the sky.
As the people on both sides of the street gradually thinned out, the three had unknowingly walked quite a distance; the sun was already setting in the west.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lingfeng forced another smile and said, "It's getting dark; let's go to the Mage's Inn to rest for the night and set off early tomorrow!"
Naturally, Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao had no objections and nodded in agreement.
Having found the inn and booked a room, Lingfeng took Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao downstairs to eat.
Lingfeng actually didn't know how to start a conversation with Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao. Although Lingfeng had acted impulsively by bringing them along, he had never regretted it. However, now that he had to face the moment of parting, he found it somewhat difficult to speak.
The meal was tasteless, and Lingfeng only ate a little; there was still a lot of food left on the table.
"Guests, the rooms are ready. Whenever you wish to rest, you can head upstairs!" At that moment, Er's voice rang out from the hall.
Lingfeng sat on the edge of the bed but faced the hall. The entire hall felt empty, with only the three of them present. However, Er's actions suggested that there were others around.
"This Er is amusing; there are only three of us alive in this inn, yet he still wants to make an announcement!" Jiao Jiao said with a laugh.
Er had not left yet, but upon hearing Jiao Jiao's words, his expression suddenly changed to one of fear, and then he awkwardly glanced at the Innkeeper.
Lingfeng noticed their actions and could tell that there were definitely other people in this inn, and those people were likely not easy to deal with. He then winked at Jiao Jiao.
Jiao Jiao instinctively closed her mouth at that moment. Just then, the Innkeeper approached with a beaming smile and said, "Guests, actually there are more than just the three of you here; there are others as well!"
Jiao Jiao understood that the Innkeeper was afraid of those people, but being inexperienced in worldly matters, she naively asked, "Oh, is that so? Why can't we see them? Are they just ghosts?"
The Innkeeper's expression changed again as he hurriedly glanced at a curtain in the corner of the room.
The curtain was not large and its color was similar to that of the wall, so Lingfeng and the others hadn't noticed it when they first entered. Now alerted by the Innkeeper's hint, they finally realized there was something behind it.
"The girl's words are too venomous!" Just as everyone remained silent, a voice that sounded like cold ice emerged from behind the curtain.
From the tone of that person's voice, Lingfeng could sense that this individual's cultivation was extraordinary. Although the person's tone was indifferent, the voice was loud and clearly indicated deep internal strength.
Jiao Jiao, unafraid, curled her lip and replied bluntly, "This girl has trained this mouth of hers; this is still mild!"
Jiao Jiao practiced Demonic Melody, which indeed focused on her verbal skills.
Seeing that Jiao Jiao was unwilling to back down, but also knowing that the other party was not easy to provoke, Lingfeng thought it best to keep a low profile since he had just escaped the surveillance of the Invisible Ghost. This way, they could ensure their safety.
"Please forgive my sister's willfulness, Brother!" To avoid a confrontation, Lingfeng quickly stood up and spoke politely.
The man snorted coldly and said discontentedly, "If she's willful, then she must be out of her mind. Doesn't she fear hurting others? I think it would be better for your sister to stay at home, tied up with a dog!"
Lingfeng's expression changed, and the temperature in the inn suddenly dropped several degrees. He had intended to apologize to the man out of goodwill, but the man showed no appreciation and continued to be aggressive. Moreover, he insulted the girl whom Lingfeng wanted to protect; how could Lingfeng endure that?
The innkeeper and his assistant dared not step forward to mediate and could only stand awkwardly to the side.
"If Brother has any objections, I can apologize on behalf of my sister. But why must you speak so hurtfully?" Although Lingfeng was deliberately suppressing his inner anger, his agitation still came through in his tone.
