Chapter 84: Sand City

After delegating power to Yisu and ordering immediate action, Hu Feng dismissed the meeting. He kept Death Warrior Udely and the thief Cardiron behind to learn the details of the situation.

During his time in secluded cultivation, Udely had led a Vampire Squad to search for his tribe. Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The tribe’s original settlement had long been abandoned. They only found many skeletons. It was unknown whether the tribesmen had been ambushed or had migrated to settle elsewhere. Cardiron also quickly scouted the surrounding terrain, but sadly, found nothing. He wandered around but could not find the road to Cold Moon City. Instead, he nearly made himself dizzy and got lost in the boundless Underground World.

“Keep searching slowly. If you have any difficulties, you can find Grand Commander Yisu!” Hu Feng stood up, preparing to turn and leave.

The plan to occupy Blackwater City was finally settled. Now, it was time to head to the Witch Mountain Range. The Solomon mentioned by the Witch Elder was not to be missed; if there was a chance, he must snatch it. More importantly, the injuries of Holy Angel Taliana could not be delayed any longer. Other than the Witch Mountain Range, he did not know where else he could find the pills to heal her.

“Huh, Lord, this ring of yours…” Just as he was about to leave, the thief Cardiron suddenly cried out in surprise. The ring on Hu Feng’s hand looked more and more familiar the more he looked at it.

“Cardiron, you recognize this ring?”

Hu Feng looked at the surprised thief, waiting for him to continue. This nameless ring had seemed useless before, but now he was gradually discovering its wonderful uses. Without its suppression, his mind might have long ago been eroded by the violent Barbaric Divine Power, turning him into a killing machine like the Minotaur King.

“Recognize it? I’d recognize it even if it turned to ash!” Cardiron nodded and continued with a bit of embarrassment: “Back then, I hung out with that guy Bald Wolf for a while and saw him wear this ring. I heard it was bestowed upon him by Young Master Lasalle. They said it was a treasure his family brought back from the Witch Mountain Range. At first, Bald Wolf was extremely excited and showed it off to everyone he met. Sadly, after wearing it for over half a year, he didn’t find any use for it. It wasn’t even as pretty as an ordinary crystal ring, so later he simply hid it away.”

The Witch Mountain Range?

Hu Feng was stunned, then burst into loud laughter.

Originally, he was worried about the long journey and not knowing the specific location and situation of the Witch Mountain Range. He didn’t expect to find the answer so easily. He carefully searched the memories of Lasalle, that prodigal son, and indeed found some relevant information. This nameless ring was brought back by his father many years ago when he led the Cold Moon Squad to the Witch Mountain Range.

“Cold Moon City Lord, we are going to meet again!”

Thinking of the Cold Moon City Lord, who was so arrogant and high above everyone that day, Hu Feng smiled coldly and quickly thought of a plan.

…

After personally setting up layers of Magic Arrays to strengthen the defense of Blackwater City, Hu Feng quickly left with the Tree Demon, the Djinn Queen, and Holy Angel Taliana. He spread his huge Dark Wings and cast the Great Teleportation Technique, disappearing instantly from people’s sight and arriving in front of a majestic castle.

On the boundless desert stood a magnificent castle. Its area was not inferior to Blackwater City. Built with local materials, the sturdy city walls were all cast from nearby yellow mud mixed with tough willow fibers. After air-drying naturally, they were harder than rock, and there was not a single crack in the walls over a dozen meters high. From a distance, the entire castle was yellow, blending into the vast Gobi Desert, standing tall in the violent sandstorm.

Sand City!

Hu Feng cast the Great Teleportation Technique and went directly to the distant Sand City.

When he left Cold Moon City last time, he said he would destroy Cold Moon City. This time, he must definitely destroy it.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend. He quickly thought of a plan to kill with a borrowed knife!

Geographically, Cold Moon City and Sand City were only separated by over two thousand li. They could be said to be sworn enemies for thousands of years. Both sides wished they could swallow the other in one bite, but unfortunately, they had always been evenly matched. To quickly destroy Cold Moon City, the powerful Sand City was undoubtedly a sharp butcher’s knife!

Just like Cold Moon City, Sand City was bustling with people. Merchant caravans coming in and out were endless, and they even lined up in long lines in front of the city gate. Hu Feng put the Tree Demon, the Djinn Queen, and Holy Angel Taliana into the Demon Hunter Card. Wearing the wide Ghost King Cloak on his head and an old gray robe, he disguised himself as a down-and-out Bard and walked towards the city gate without arousing anyone’s suspicion.

“What’s going on? Why are there so many people today? It hasn’t moved for ages!” a burly Demon Hunter complained loudly, carrying a huge Red-Horned Lizard on his shoulder. It seemed this trip was very rewarding. Back in Sand City, just the armor on the lizard could be exchanged for a considerable amount of Contribution Points, enough to drink in the tavern for a whole winter.

“Who knows? I heard some big shot has arrived!” a bearded merchant who had been waiting in line for a long time and was tortured by the sandstorm shook his head. If he didn’t sell his goods quickly, the fresh fish in the carriage would all die. By then, he would probably lose everything on this trip.

“I heard it’s an Elder of the Morgan Family, but I don’t know if it’s true or false.”

“The Morgan Family? No wonder. That is one of the top families in the Wasteland!”

…

People complained endlessly, but after seeing a luxurious carriage appear in the distance, they immediately fell silent, not even daring to breathe loudly.

The four Silver-Winged Pegasus pulling the carriage were snow-white all over without a single mixed color. The carriage body was made entirely of precious rosewood, finely carved, and blessed with a massive acceleration Magic Array. The knight driving the carriage had a cold face and looked straight ahead. On his armor was carved a huge Black Eagle, spreading its wings as if about to fly.

Through the half-covered beaded curtain, one could vaguely see a solemn Brocade-Robed Old Man sitting in the carriage. His eyes were tightly closed, and a thin long sword lay flat on his knees. Even though the sword was not yet unsheathed, a wave of cold Killing Intent rushed towards them. In front of and behind the carriage, a large group of fully armed knights escorted it. Just over fifty people exuded the imposing manner of a legion.

Black Eagle Iron Cavalry!

Every knight was battle-hardened. They escorted the carriage rolling forward, raising dust that filled the sky.

Seeing the carriage moving as fast as lightning, the guards who had been waiting at the city gate for a long time quickly removed the road barriers and bowed in salute. Only after the carriage went far away did the snail-like queue slowly speed up.

“The Morgan Family?”

Thinking of that prodigal Urbato, Hu Feng smiled coldly and kept a low profile as he mixed into the queue and moved forward.

Just like the family branch in Wuhai Town, the Morgan Family members before him were equally arrogant. Even an ordinary knight put on a haughty look, as if they were superior wherever they went. It seemed this family was outrageously arrogant!
