Chapter 1256 - 1253: Lan Feng
The blue-haired man nodded indifferently and said, "That's right, I am the third person you are looking for. Earlier, it was my intention to emit my energy to connect with you and deliberately lead you here."
Lin Chuan continued to ask, "I can't believe the third person would appear as an enemy, but I don't understand, since you know your identity, why do you still choose to oppose us?"
The blue-haired man chuckled lightly and said, "Oh, I completely forgot to introduce myself earlier, so you might not understand the situation yet. My name is Lan Feng..."
When Lin Chuan heard the name Lan Feng, he couldn't help but tremble all over. Lan Feng, a name he had heard many times, was a member of a particularly mysterious branch within Ghost Gate. The reason it is considered one of Ghost Gate's most secretive branches is because each member in the organization is a skilled expert.
Even some high-ranking individuals have no knowledge of this branch within Ghost Gate. However, it's said that this branch's incredible strength is largely due to its leader being an extremely elusive figure. Typically, not even the Ghost Gate Sect Leader has seen this person's true face. But nobody knows this person's true power because no one has ever encountered him.
Lin Chuan said in shock, "Could it be that you are Lan Feng, the member of Ghost Gate's legendary mysterious organization?"
Lan Feng felt somewhat satisfied seeing Lin Chuan so astonished by his name and organization, and he replied, "Yes, I am a member of the Dark Group and the first to appear in this mission, so you should consider yourselves honored."
With that, he chuckled to himself again.
Before Lin Chuan could speak, Mu Qiu intervened, "Then, since you know your identity, why help Ghost Gate attack us? Aren't you afraid of being manipulated?"
Lan Feng shook his head helplessly and said, "There's no choice. With my current ability and identity, I can't oppose the Ghost Gate with you, as that would be suicidal. I'm not as foolish as you are. Also, Lin Chuan, I warn you that your previous actions won't have any real effect on Ghost Gate."
He paused and continued, "You have no idea about the organization's scale and magnitude. They let you live until now only because you still have value. Once you lose that value, they can easily erase you from this world, like crushing an ant. Do you understand now?"
These words left Lin Chuan deeply shocked, forcing him to rethink the entire situation. Facing an opponent like Lan Feng, and others even more powerful, the difference in strength was overwhelming.
At this moment, Lan Feng said, "This time, I was ordered to deal with you, so you should prepare yourselves."
As he spoke, Lan Feng had unknowingly distanced himself from Lin Chuan, regaining his advantage. Lin Chuan was still pondering Lan Feng's words, but suddenly felt an attack coming from Lan Feng again. Lin Chuan shouted internally, realizing he had the chance to escape from the attack range, losing his advantage.
Without time to think, two solidified air blades were already flying toward Lin Chuan. He quickly picked up Blue Amber to block the two blades.
Once steadied and ready to meet Lan Feng's next attack, he found Lan Feng had already disappeared.
Lin Chuan looked around and discovered that Lan Feng seemed to vanish suddenly, leaving him puzzled. Why did the strong opponents he encountered twice both disappear instead of killing him? Lin Chuan and Mu Qiu exchanged glances, both forcing a bitter smile.
...
In a dark room within Ghost Gate, a person fully cloaked in black stood and said, "Lan Feng, you acted on your own without orders and ended up in such a sorry state. Do you realize the severity of your mistake?"
Lan Feng knelt on the ground, his blue hair covering his face, trembling as he said, "Sect Leader, I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again."
Shura snorted and said, "There will be no next time; you can disappear now. But it's not the time yet, so you'll go reflect in prison first."
Lan Feng shivered at the heavy punishment due to his unauthorized actions, and more importantly, being beaten so badly by those two guys. His reputation in the organization was ruined.
How long could he live in the organization now? Lan Feng dared not think further. Was he going to be locked in prison and then executed? Lan Feng shook his head; he refused to let someone control his life like that.
On the way to the prison escorted by soldiers, Lan Feng suddenly jumped up, swiftly attacking and eliminating the two soldiers. Now, Lan Feng wanted nothing more than to escape, and he had to get out quickly because he knew there were countless experts here more powerful than him.
If caught by anyone, it would be hard to escape, especially Shura. Thinking of Shura made Lan Feng shiver, as he was feared mostly because nobody knew his actual power.
However, Lan Feng felt like Shura was perhaps the most powerful in the entire base, superior even to the leader. Without much thought, Lan Feng used the power of the air to fly out of the base.
Just as Lan Feng was about to escape the base, he suddenly saw a figure, a girl sitting atop the city wall, gently playing the harmonica. Seeing the girl made Lan Feng's stomach drop, blurting out, "Oh no, why is Lan Fenghuang here?" Instantly, he stopped, levitating and addressing the girl not far away, "Lan Fenghuang, why are you here?"
The girl stopped playing the harmonica and said lightly, "I'm waiting for you."
Lan Feng felt deeply chilled upon hearing this. Lan Fenghuang's skills were unfathomable. It's said she was a member of the superpower variants, possessing the power of land control.
Lan Feng said, "Did you know I would escape and intentionally wait for me here?"
