Chapter 1315 - 1312: Judging by Appearance, As Beautiful as a Fairy!

"Someone’s coming."

Upon hearing Luo Feng’s words, Jiang Fengfeng’s eyes flickered slightly. She gripped the silver sword at her waist and looked in the direction Luo Feng was staring, her gaze wary.

The leaves rustled, and after a few breaths, four figures dashed out of the dense forest.

The two people at the front were a burly man with a beard-covered face and a clean-shaven middle-aged man. The faint True Yuan fluctuations they emitted were terrifying, indicating both were Martial Artists at the True Yuan Realm’s second tier, one in the later stage and the other at the peak.

The two green-clothed warriors behind them had slightly weaker auras, with cultivation at the late stage of the Ninth Layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm and the mid-stage of the First Layer of the True Yuan Realm, respectively.

"Hmm? Someone!"

As they approached, the four immediately noticed Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng. Their faces changed slightly as they landed with heavy footsteps, causing loud thuds and splitting the ground with several large cracks.

"Haha... I wondered who was here, turns out it’s just two little kittens."

Seeing how young Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng were, the burly man relaxed and laughed loudly.

Jiang Fengfeng raised an eyebrow mockingly, "People who judge by appearances usually don’t live long."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the burly man scrutinized Jiang Fengfeng, a lecherous glint in his eyes, and approached step by step, smiling maliciously, "You’re small in stature, but not in words..."

Feeling the burly man’s gaze, Jiang Fengfeng’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped the burly man and whispered, "Don’t be reckless."

After speaking, he turned to Luo Feng, looking serious, "If I’m not mistaken, you must be the first new dragon, Luo Feng?"

The First New Dragon, Luo Feng!

At the sound of those words, everyone’s eyes sharply focused on Luo Feng, including the burly man who paused and scrutinized Luo Feng with suspicion.

Though he was not afraid of the title of the first new dragon, he dared not underestimate the power it represented from Linglong Hall.

"That’s right."

Luo Feng acknowledged calmly with a slight nod.

The middle-aged man inhaled sharply. He had attended the New Dragon List Conference on Group Dragon Island and recognized Luo Feng at first glance, though he was uncertain. Turns out it really was him.

"So it’s the renowned first new dragon. No wonder you have the audacity to venture here."

A mocking laugh resounded. The burly man, annoyed from Jiang Fengfeng’s earlier taunt, was suppressing his anger, but due to Luo Feng’s status, couldn’t act out. He sneered sideways, "Seems like you’re here for the Hero’s Invite too. I’ll make it clear—those ten million second-grade Yuan Stones won’t be handed over easily. Don’t think being the first new dragon means everyone will give you face wherever you go."

"Whoever finishes the task gets the reward. I’m no exception." Luo Feng said, unfazed.

"Hehe, that’s best."

The burly man chuckled sinisterly.

Luo Feng, unwilling to waste time, said to Jiang Fengfeng, "Let’s go."

"Alright."

Jiang Fengfeng nodded, casting a cold glance at the four before following Luo Feng away.

"Second brother, you’re too rash. Luo Feng is now a prominent figure in our Canglang Dynasty, not just the first new dragon but also the Hidden Dragon Marquis among the six great King Marquises. Offending him is asking for trouble."

"Big brother, should we look for a chance to take him out? As the first new dragon, Luo Feng must have astonishing wealth on him. That girl is a prime catch too; after we’re done, she should fetch a good price if we sell her."

Watching Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng walk away, the burly man licked his lips and spoke to the middle-aged man.

"You’re crazy!"

The middle-aged man’s eyes widened, "Don’t you know who Luo Feng is? Now that he’s the first new dragon, he’s a treasure of Linglong Hall; plus, he helped the Second Prince ascend the throne, making him one of the six great King Marquises and favored by the King. If we kill him and news leaks, we’ll face utter annihilation! Besides, we may not even be able to kill him. Your usual antics I can overlook, but not this time. Restrain yourself."

The burly man chuckled, "Big brother, I was just talking."

"Even just talking is unacceptable. Remember, disaster comes from the mouth; some words, once spoken, lead to catastrophic consequences."

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said, "Alright, let’s end this here."

At this moment, a young Martial Artist inspecting a corpse looked up and pointed in a direction, "Big brother, the one who killed them went this way."

The middle-aged man frowned as he followed the young Martial Artist’s gesture.

That direction was precisely where Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng had gone.

The burly man was eager, "Big brother, let’s hurry and catch up; we can’t let them steal the credit! Otherwise, our long journey here will be for nothing."

"Second brother, remember what you just said, don’t provoke Luo Feng." The middle-aged man advised again, worried.

"Let’s go."

The burly man waved, stepped hard on the ground, and shot into the depths of the forest.

The middle-aged man, helpless, shook his head and commanded, "Let’s follow."

Swish...

On the order, their figures rose swiftly and soon vanished into the forest.

The sky gradually darkened, leaving only a few streaks of golden twilight in the sky. Mist wafted amidst the trees of Thousand Trees Peak, affecting one’s perception.

Whoosh!

The sound of wind cutting through the air. Two figures darted through the trees at lightning speed.

"Luo Feng, they’re catching up." Jiang Fengfeng glanced back, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Luo Feng replied, "Ignore them, focus on the main task. If they don’t know better, I’ll send them off myself."

Hearing this, Jiang Fengfeng smiled coldly, "Then that big guy is mine. Daring to look down on me—I’ll gouge out his eyes and teach him the meaning of having eyes but failing to see!"

Just as Luo Feng was about to respond, his gaze suddenly halted. Ahead in the deep forest, a bonfire was burning slowly, standing out starkly in the darkness.

"Ah!"

All of a sudden, a chilling scream erupted from ahead, piercing the forest’s silence.

"Go!"

Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng exchanged a glance and pushed their speed to the limit, rushing toward the direction of the burning bonfire.

With a few leaps, Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng arrived at the bonfire’s location.

In the clearing in the middle of the woods lay four corpses. They died in the same manner as the bodies seen earlier, completely drained of blood, their bodies resembling mummified remains, an exceptionally horrifying sight.

The scent of fresh blood lingered in the air; these people had obviously died not long ago.

"There’s someone still alive." Jiang Fengfeng said, somewhat surprised.

Beside the corpses, a young woman in a blue dress was curled up, trembling and clutching her shoulders. Her light blue dress was stained with blood, with several tears revealing the snow-white skin beneath, presenting a tantalizing scene.

"Miss, there’s no need to be afraid. We are disciples of the Golden Palace. May I ask what happened?"

Luo Feng halted five steps away from the woman and inquired.

"I... I don’t know. We were about to rest here when a beam of blood-red light shot out from the woods, and then they... were..."

The woman shook her head, sobbing, and suddenly raised her head, her eyes meeting Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng’s gaze.

As their eyes locked, Luo Feng’s mind buzzed.

The woman before him was stunningly beautiful!

Her eyes alone were captivating, like celestial stars—deep and dazzling, almost impossible to look away from. Her flawless face was a masterpiece, like untouched natural jade exuding infinite charm; coupled with the glimpses of soft flesh through the torn robe, enough to tempt even Immortals to descend into the mortal realm...

For a moment, Luo Feng felt his whole body heat up, reluctant to divert his eyes.
