Chapter 2099 - 2100: The Canyon Trap

That person said, "Actually it's not like that. We don't really have that many people. We gathered several families from Iga-ryu to make up these numbers, but who could have thought coming here would be so dangerous? We've already lost many people."

Ling Zhenfei said, "This journey to the Foreign Land is very dangerous. I know you are definitely heading for the canyon, but it's a trap, and the Heavenly God Sword is no longer there, so there's no need for you to go."

After saying this, he felt a little regretful, thinking they wouldn't believe him.

It's just like Ling Zhenfei telling others there's nothing in the canyon while his own people go to take it.

The people from the Kugi Family were baffled, evidently considering how to respond to his words.

Ling Zhenfei said, "This place is quite dangerous; first and foremost, ensure your own safety. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

To avoid awkwardness, Ling Zhenfei decided to leave first.

The Lightning Bird descended from the air, and Ling Zhenfei swiftly mounted it.

Ling Zhenfei glanced at the cultivators from the Island Nation along with Alice, and then the Lightning Bird soared into the sky.

The islanders were stunned; who would have thought there could be someone this powerful among humans, riding a bird and leaving as they please?

Furthermore, Alice, who was sitting on the Lightning Bird earlier, was extremely enchanting; who could have thought there would be a woman this beautiful in the world?

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei certainly didn't know what they were thinking.

Alice said, "You actually told them there's no Heavenly God Sword in the canyon just now?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Exactly, I told them, but I think they shouldn't believe me."

Alice said, "So that's why you hurriedly left?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "If I'm thinking correctly, they should still go. Now the entire Foreign Land has turned into the eye of a typhoon, and all cultivators are heading towards the canyon."

Unless cultivators are convinced that the canyon is just a trap and there's no Heavenly God Sword, this effect will dissipate."

Alice said, "And are you going? You know the truth."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, why wouldn't I go?"

Alice said, "I think you shouldn't go. Even if you want to avenge your friends, you shouldn't go, or you shouldn't go right now."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Why?"

Alice said, "Currently, the fake Heavenly God Sword is in the canyon's seal, and your people are trying to break the seal, while the Supreme God is gathering forces for the final encirclement.

Going to seek Tian Ming now is like sending a sheep into a pack of wolves. You won't be able to avenge your friend, and you might lose your life.

Instead, it's better to find a place to train, recharge your batteries, and wait for the battle between both sides to end. Whether they win or lose, you can gain the advantage."

Ling Zhenfei realized that Alice's plan was indeed good; right now, both sides have completely different ideas from his and shouldn't be involved.

Humans want to acquire the Heavenly God Sword, while foreign races want to kill humans. Ling Zhenfei seeks revenge and rescue, and has opponents among both humans and foreign races.

Foreign races want to kill him, and cultivators would likely also act against him, making it quite difficult.

Ling Zhenfei said, "You're quite right; let me think about it."

The Lightning Bird soared through the air, but its destination was still towards the canyon.

Soon they flew near the canyon, and from above, Ling Zhenfei could see many trees subtly trembling in the distant forest. The trees were tall, blocking the sky, hiding everything below.

But Ling Zhenfei seemed to see groups of foreign races moving towards one direction.

It seems Alice's words were indeed true; the elite forces of the foreign races are gathering and soon will launch an attack on the canyon.

Ling Zhenfei then flew above the canyon. Humans were still gathering in the canyon; occasionally, Northern Spiritual Energy could be sensed, indicating attempts to break the seal.

Ling Zhenfei looked closely into the canyon. As the sky was already dim, he couldn't see clearly.

But using Northern Spiritual Energy to take a careful look, he could still see the assembled sect members in the canyon.

Ling Zhenfei actually wanted to inform humans about the trap, but whom could he tell? Ideally, someone who would believe him.

Images of many people flashed in Ling Zhenfei's mind—Song Yun, Du E, and Murong Liuqing.

Song Yun is definitely not an option; he has connections with Tianling Spirit Palace and Cultivators Alliance; otherwise, he wouldn't have helped them attack the East Gate.

Ling Zhenfei just killed people from Tianling Spirit Palace and tangled with Cultivators Alliance, seeking Song Yun now would be asking for trouble.

Murong Liuqing, now in Pursue Heart State, is quite strong, but Wuliang Mountain people have little influence, and others wouldn't believe her.

It looks like he can only go to Du E. Du E is a member of the Du Family and one of the Four Young Masters, wise enough but bound to some agreement with Blood Oath Sect. Seeking Du E might bring trouble.

Moreover, Du E has good relations with South Sea Divine Palace. Thinking of South Sea Divine Palace reminded Ling Zhenfei of Miss Sisi.

He's met Miss Sisi twice, and since he has no grudges with South Sea Divine Palace, she seems the most suitable.

Ling Zhenfei searched around and landed the Lightning Bird on the canyon's peak.

"Miss Alice, please rest here; I'm going to see a friend and will be back shortly."

Alice laughed and said, "Are you going to inform on someone?"

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, unsure what to say, as if instantly seen through.

Alice said, "Go ahead, I'm not going to control you and don't want to bother; but will they believe you?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I hope they will believe, but even if not, they might at least have some defenses."

Alice said, "I hope you come back safely."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, then flew down towards the canyon. As he's not a famous person, it's unlikely he'll be recognized.

The canyon is quite steep. Using Northern Spiritual Energy for descent is possible, but climbing back up isn't so simple. He landed in an area with no people and proceeded to where cultivators gathered.

Ling Zhenfei inquired about the whereabouts of South Sea Divine Palace people, got a definite answer, and headed towards the northern canyon.

South Sea Divine Palace is a major sect, naturally located in a forward position, and Ling Zhenfei hadn't gone this far inside before; many people saw him.

Ling Zhenfei sensed that when people looked at him, their expressions were somewhat strange, as if they recognized him.

But Ling Zhenfei thought it's just an illusion, as he's a nobody among cultivators; how could others recognize him?

However, it truly felt like an illusion, because he saw very strange looks in people's eyes as they watched him.
