By the rock where the Thousand Night Fruits had grown, there was now no trace of the vine.
The huge crater had a diameter of over five meters. Its walls were charred black, and even the stones and soil had been deformed by the heat.
"The same tiger head tattoo?"
Lu Feng turned over the other Soul Ancestor's corpse and found a clue on his chest.
"These two are either from a major power or are professional soul master assassins."
"What do I have that's worth the attention of these major powers?"
"Could it be the Black Pheasant Mercenary Corps?"
They were the first ones Lu Feng thought of.
Over the past year, the mercenary corps had sent people to recruit Lu Feng several times, but he had always refused.
As the local tyrants of the spirit hunting market, the mercenary corps didn't need a reason to deal with a young brat.
"However, isn't the totem of the Black Pheasant Mercenary Corps a chicken?"
"They wouldn't need to find outside help just to deal with an 'auxiliary system soul master' like me, would they?" Lu Feng shook his head, ruling them out.
"Could it be that kid, Yu Tianheng?" Lu Feng stroked his chin and pondered.
"When we parted, Yu Tianheng's agitated expression couldn't have just been because he needed to take a dump, right?"
"Dai Mubai is also a strong suspect. Although as a fugitive, he has lost the support of the Star Luo Empire, summoning two Soul Ancestor experts should still be a piece of cake for him."
"Hmph, since I can't find the reason, I'll just settle accounts with them one by one!"
Lu Feng snorted coldly and took off the ring from the scar-faced soul master's hand.
Probing it with his soul power, he found the space inside was not large, only three cubic meters, but it was filled with a lot of cultivation resources. Gold Soul Coins were the most common thing inside, but there were still over two thousand of them.
"As expected, killing and arson are the way of life for us people of the Spirit Hall, jie jie jie!"
Looking at the soul master's sturdy body, the corner of Lu Feng's eye twitched involuntarily.
The other's arm was as thick as his thigh. It seemed he was most likely a defense system Soul Ancestor.
If it had been this soul master fighting Lu Feng, Lu Feng felt that even if he could use the 'eighty-one swings', he might not have been able to defeat him.
In the battle with the tall soul master, Lu Feng had used almost all of his tricks.
Even the duration of his Invincible Golden Body had been carefully calculated. After all, in that situation, he only had one chance to strike.
With a difference of two major cultivation realms, Lu Feng didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless. After all, the fate of the Three Freaks of the Huang Family was still fresh in his mind.
Of course, if he encountered this kind of defense system Soul Ancestor, Lu Feng still had a way to survive.
He would just need to strap explosives all over his body, teleport next to the other's head, activate the Invincible Golden Body, and finally, 'bang'!
However, Lu Feng had never liked to walk on the edge of a cliff. With that combo, if he wasn't careful, he'd have to be buried along with his target.
Lu Feng kicked the soul master's corpse into the crater, then took out his shovel and began to fill it with soil.
Killing and burying.
Lu Feng felt he could be awarded the title of a model worker.
He was naturally not being kind enough to bury the body for him, but was doing so to cover the traces of the explosives. A trump card, if exposed to the sun, was no longer a trump card, but an open card.
The moon was dark and the wind was high at the headquarters of the Black Pheasant Mercenary Corps.
"Damn it, they're out there having fun, leaving us two brothers to watch the house," a thin guard complained.
"Bamboo Pole, say a few less words. The attic is full of the boss's treasured collection. If even one piece is missing, we'll both lose our heads," the other, fatter guard said in a rough voice.
Hearing this, the thin guard's spirits deflated. He picked his nose, then looked around aimlessly.
Suddenly, he seemed to see a black shadow vaulting over the wall not far away.
"Who's there!" the Bamboo Pole soul master shouted sternly.
"Swoosh!"
He leaped to the side of the wall in a few bounds, but the black shadow was long gone.
"Not good! Something's happened to the treasury!"
The two hurriedly opened the main door and entered the attic. They saw that more than half of the items on the several rows of shelves were gone, leaving only some less valuable ones in their original place.
In the middle of a shelf, there was also a piece of paper stuck to it.
The chubby soul master took down the note and saw a few large characters written on it, "Shrek's Tang San was here!"
"It's over! Fatty, we're dead!"
The Bamboo Pole soul master immediately looked as if he had lost his soul and collapsed onto the ground.
The chubby soul master clenched the note tightly. With a surge of soul power, he directly crushed it into pieces.
"Bamboo Pole, pull yourself together! We still have a way out," the fat soul master said viciously.
"Fatty, what's your plan?" The Bamboo Pole soul master's eyes regained some clarity.
"Hmph, we definitely can't escape. It's death either way. While the boss is drunk, let's just mutiny and kill him!"
The Balak Kingdom, bordered by the Heaven Dou Empire to the north, the Star Luo Empire to the south, and the Star Dou Great Forest to the east, had a very strong military force.
The kingdom had two most important cities. One was the capital, Balak City.
The other city was Suotuo City, known as the granary of Balak.
Suotuo City was a major military town, and all travelers had to be carefully checked. Even soul masters needed to register to enter the city.
"Name?"
"Tang Si."
"Age?"
"12 years old."
"Soul power level?"
"Level 26."
"So it's Young Master Tang. Welcome to Suotuo City," the soldier in charge of registration looked up at Lu Feng, quickly stood up, his smile becoming even more brilliant.
At the same time, a yellow cluster of light dropped from his position.
[Picked up a yellow martial soul [Spirit Eyes] fragment *1 (1/10)]
Yo ho, a wild Huo Gua appears?
Lu Feng dismantled the [Spirit Eyes] fragment, and a ball of yellow light was absorbed into his 'repository'. He was about to come into contact with new characters, and Lu Feng felt that his martial soul upgrade points were a bit tight.
If nothing else, Lu Feng was determined to get the Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul. He also wanted to experience it for himself, to see if he could withstand the test of the evil fire.
After killing the two Soul Ancestors, Lu Feng had thought for a long time and had finally decided to temporarily leave the spirit hunting market.
No matter who they were or why they were after him, it was always the right choice to be a little more prudent and find a new place to pick up fragments.
"Chief, isn't he just a Soul Grandmaster? Do you need to be so polite?" the soldier next to him asked, puzzled.
The registration chief turned his head and glanced at the soldier, "Little Li, what do you know? A 12-year-old level 26 Soul Grandmaster is no simple matter. He might be a talented disciple of some great family."
"Tch, he's probably just another big fool tricked by Shrek Academy," the soldier muttered under his breath.
"Smack!"
The chief slapped Little Li hard on the back of the head.
"Shrek Academy may be a bit run-down, but there's a Soul Saint-level powerhouse inside. If you want to die, don't drag me along with you."
Walking into the city, he was greeted by an orderly scene.
The streets were lined with shops, with neat displays of goods at their entrances. The decorative trees were lush and had been trimmed to a uniform height. From time to time, he could also see a team of patrolling soldiers.
"Huh? Flender's antique shop?"
As Lu Feng was walking down the street, he was suddenly attracted by a shop.
The storefront was not large, and the decoration was very simple, even a bit dilapidated. It stood out among a row of luxurious facades.
A circular sign was carved on the signboard, with several special symbols on it. They were a sword, a hammer, and a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
"I'll go in and take a look. I remember there's a slab crystal inside."
