Chapter 143: A Sheep Enters the Tiger’s Mouth

After agreeing with McCance to set off together in three days, Hu Feng drifted away and stayed in a small hotel in the small town, focusing on his Cultivation.

The battle at Glory Castle made him realize the terror of a Demi-god Peak Stronger!

The massive Glory Castle gathered many Strongers and had a magnificent momentum; it was more than ten times larger than Cold Moon City and Blackwater City. But such a power ful castle was almost instantly destroyed into ruins by the Fallen King Bradley alone; his strength was outrageously powerful! Witnessing his might made Hu Feng’s desire for power even stronger!

Hu Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, carefully sensing the changes in his body.

After condensing the unique World Power known as Prime Force, his internal Prime Realm unknowingly underwent a fundamental change. Energy from the Void continuously seeped in, transforming into pure Prime Force that rippled through the vast world. The many Nuns cultivating within the Prime Realm found that the Magic Power in their bodies actually gradually transformed into faint Prime Force, becoming part of the Prime Realm. Every move they made could not be hidden from his Divine Sense. When they prayed devoutly, they actually produced wisps of invisible energy that seeped into his body.

Nourished by this nameless energy, Hu Feng discovered that his Divine Sense was constantly growing, and he could clearly sense everything in the world within the Prime Realm.

“The Power of Faith?”

Hu Feng’s heart moved; he vaguely felt as if he had touched the door to a new path of Cultivation. Back then, when the Flying Dragon City Lord Maurice helped him condense this Alternate Dimension called the Prime Realm, he had already secretly given guidance; unfortunately, Hu Feng had not felt it deeply at the time. Now, he finally realized the benefits of an Alternate Dimension.

A completely controlled Alternate Dimension could not only grow into a huge Semi-plane but also develop into a boundless Plane, making one a Plane Master. The most important significance was not storing supplies or expanding power, but cultivating one’s own kingdom of faith, condensing the Power of Faith from believers, and thus one day becoming a true Divine Domain Stronger!

The Nuns were pure in heart and had few desires. After the initial panic, they quickly adapted to life in the Prime Realm. Every day, they either cultivated or prayed in the Monastery, reciting various scriptures. Their arrival brought a hint of holy aura to the Prime Realm. With the Monastery as the center, the nine great Demon God Phantoms occupied different directions to focus on their Cultivation. From the distant Void, wisps of will from Ancient Demon Gods came from time to time. This obscure will carried an ancient, vicissitudinous, and irresistible aura, gradually adding a trace of historical depth to the newborn Prime Realm.

Watching the Demon God Phantoms in the air grow larger day by day, the Nuns went from being shocked to getting used to it. The irresistible thought of Hu Feng, the master of the Prime Realm, slowly took root in everyone’s heart. When seeing Hu Feng again, the outwardly gentle but inwardly tough female warrior Bailier was still as stubborn, but the sharpness in her tone was gone, and she was draped in a spotless Nun robe.

“Lord Hu Feng, where is my father? How is he? When can he be released?” After not seeing him for a few days, Bailier looked much more haggard, and her eyes looked bigger.

“Miss Bailier, I apologize. I have already left Glory Castle and arrived at the Witch Mountain Range, which is tens of thousands of miles away.”

Hu Feng paused, then continued, “A few days ago, a disaster occurred at Glory Castle; it was suddenly attacked by the Fallen King. The entire castle almost turned into ruins, with heavy casualties, and the number of missing people could not be counted for a while. Before I left, the entire castle was almost paralyzed!”

“What?”

Bailier was shocked and instantly became nervous. “Lord Hu Feng, what about my father? Is he alright?”

“I don’t know. The entire Monastery almost collapsed, and the dungeon holding the prisoners was no exception. How about this? I will try to contact a Divine Official in the Monastery and see if I can help you check. Regarding the matter we discussed last time, have you considered it?” Hu Feng smiled evilly, looking Bailier up and down in her Nun robe. “Mmm, not bad, Bailier. I said long ago that with your ability, you would definitely be an excellent Nun. When I have time later, I will slowly teach you some scriptures. As a Divine Official, teaching Nuns has always been my duty.”

“Lord, I…”

Bailier blushed. The Crystal World had fallen into Hu Feng’s hands, and it was impossible to get it back. After staying in the Prime Realm for a few days, she increasingly realized the powerful strength of Hu Feng, this Great Demon Head. Her greatest wish now was to save her father.

In exchange, telling Hu Feng the method to refine the Crystal World wasn’t impossible. However, according to the family tree’s explanation, the method to refine the Crystal World was very special, so special that one would be too ashamed to speak of it. With her straightforward character, she was too embarrassed to say it out loud. Moreover, even if she told Hu Feng the method, he wouldn’t be able to refine it. What if he demanded…

Thinking of the explanation in the family tree, Bailier’s face grew redder and redder.

“No rush. I will come in every so often. Bailier, when you have thought it through, come find me!”

Hu Feng smiled, his body becoming fainter until he quickly disappeared, returning to the simple small hotel.

No matter how good something is, seeing it or playing with it too much gets boring! The harder something is to obtain, the more precious it is. What excites people the most is not the item itself, but the process of obtaining it. He was in no rush, not at all; he had plenty of time to slowly corrupt and train her. After coming out of the Prime Realm, he was about to continue his Cultivation when a light sound of footsteps came from outside the window.

“Turikov, are you sure that kid lives here?”

In the cold wind, a voice tried its best to lower its volume. The footsteps were light but chaotic, accompanied by messy breathing sounds. Without even releasing his Divine Sense, Hu Feng quickly judged that several people were sneaking towards his room. They held their breath and tried their best to hide their tracks, but unfortunately, in front of Hu Feng, a Lich skilled in stealth, they were full of flaws.

“That’s right, Big Brother, it’s here!”

The guy named Turikov said as he led the way, moving lightly, but the long sword at his waist still occasionally clashed with his armor, making a light ‘clinking’ sound. “Finding a guide and spending 200,000 Amethyst Coins at once, he’s definitely a fat sheep. Big Brother, should we take him out directly and rob the Crystal Coins in his Demon Hunter Card, or capture him alive and demand a huge ransom from his family?”

Thinking of the pile of Crystal Coins Hu Feng had smashed out, Turikov’s eyes burned as if he saw a high-quality crystal mine. During the day in the tavern, if the Big Brother traveling with him hadn’t stopped him, he would have struck long ago. This remote small town had few guards, so coming and going was easy; they could just flee far away after succeeding.

“Cut the nonsense, capture the person first!”

The leading Demon Hunter signaled with his eyes, and the few Demon Hunters behind him tacitly scattered, quickly occupying advantageous positions. Turikov, who was leading the way, moved swiftly, quickly taking out a candle from his bosom. After lighting it, wisps of faint black smoke rose. Helped by the cold wind, the smoke drifted into Hu Feng’s room through the open window.

“Capture him alive?”

Hu Feng smiled evilly and quickly understood the identity of the visitors. With a thought, Badeson, the Necromancer with flickering Ghost Fire, appeared beside him.

After the entire candle burned out, Turikov took out a sharp dagger, inserted it into the crack of the door, and gently lifted it to open the tightly closed door. His movements were light and skilled; it seemed he had done this countless times.

“Quick!”

The leading Demon Hunter waved his hand, and the group rushed in with a gust of cold wind, preparing to capture Hu Feng and take him away to avoid any complications. Unexpectedly, Hu Feng, the target, was not lying unconscious on the bed as they had imagined, but was looking coldly at them as if he had been prepared. A mass of eerie phosphorous fire floated beside him, and gusts of gloomy wind blew, making it feel as cold as hiding in an ice cave.

“Misunderstanding, Lord, misunderstanding! We entered the wrong room!”

The leading Demon Hunter nodded and bowed, deciding to retreat immediately.

Seeing that Hu Feng was fine after inhaling the hallucinogenic incense, he knew something was wrong. Especially seeing the phosphorous fire floating beside him, he quickly remembered the Necromancer who was infamous on the Wasteland. His heart shook, realizing he had accidentally run into someone he couldn’t afford to mess with. In great shock, he led the others to turn around and leave. Unexpectedly, before they could take a few steps, the doors and windows slammed shut with a ‘bang’, and a gloomy wind rose violently in the room. The phosphorous fire floating up and down suddenly exploded, transforming into a sinister Necromancer. A massive Death Aura rushed towards them, making the Demon Hunters’ hair stand on end.

“Misunderstanding?”

Hu Feng smiled faintly. “Badeson, didn’t you say you were short of a few Skeletons for experiments? Take them. These guys have good physiques; use them sparingly, they should be enough for a thousand or hundreds of experiments!”

“Gagaga, thank you, Lord!”

Looking at the few burly and strong Demon Hunters, Badeson laughed gagaga, his eyes becoming more and more heated, like a big grey wolf seeing a few tender white lambs. Sensing the massive power fluctuation inside him, Turikov and the others turned pale, their teeth chattering. They thought they had caught a fat sheep, but unexpectedly, they were the sheep entering the tiger’s mouth!

An evil Necromancer?

Thinking of the terrifying legends about Necromancers on the Wasteland, every Demon Hunter was terrified. Imagining being turned into a Skeleton, their faces turned colorless. After glancing at each other, they unanimously rushed towards the doors and windows, trying to get away from this sinister room as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, when they were only half a step away from the doors and windows, a bone-chilling gloomy wind pierced through their bodies, and their bodies instantly stiffened and went numb. Immediately after, they were swept up by a gloomy wind and appeared in an almost boundless world.

Hu Feng had no interest in these blind thieves and handed them all over to Badeson the Necromancer. He closed his eyes and began to focus on his Cultivation again.

Slowly, his heartbeat grew slower and his breath grew weaker, merging with the entire world. Only the Death Oak lying flat on his knees occasionally gave a light jump, with the sword tip pointing towards the direction of the Witch Mountain Range, as if sensing some danger, or perhaps responding to a kind call.
