Robbing the Bandits

"By the way, Lin Feng, what did you mean by 'tribe' and 'family' earlier? Besides that, isn't there any safe place in the Infernal Realm?" Dilia's heart clenched at the thought that even Highgod were bandits. 👍☺ 🌷★

"Of course there are. The safest place in the Infernal Realm is a city."

"There are cities in the Infernal Realm too?" Dilia asked curiously. "Where is the nearest one? Let's go there now."

"No rush. Even if we fly there now, it will take two or three years to get there." Lin Feng naturally saw the worry in Dilia's eyes, but he was fearless.

No way! He's Seven-Star Fiend, after all. As long as he doesn't provoke the few top experts in the Infernal Realm, he can basically roam Infernal Realm. Why would he care about a mere bandit?

However, both Beibei and Dilia focused their attention on "two or three years".

"Two or three years? It can't be that far away, can it?"

"That's still considered low," Lin Feng said. "We're at least ten million miles away from the nearest city, Diyi City, and the gravity in the Infernal Realm is a hundred times stronger than in Yulan, so our speed will definitely be greatly reduced. Do you think it will take two or three years?"

Beibei and Dilia were both speechless.

"Let me continue talking about the situation in the Infernal Realm," Lin Feng said. "Dilia, Beibei, do you know how many Chief Sovereign there are in the world?"

"There are seventy-seven in total," Beibei replied quickly.

"That's true and that's not entirely true. There are a total of seventy-seven Sovereign Spark in the world, but there aren't necessarily seventy-seven Chief Sovereign." Before Beibei and Dilia could raise any questions, Lin Feng explained, "Any god who breaks through to the Highgod realm on their own is qualified to refine Sovereign Spark and thus become Chief Sovereign. However, although there are seventy-seven Sovereign Spark, not all of them have been refined; it's possible for one person to refine more than one."

"The five parts of the Infernal Realm and the two great oceans are each controlled by seven monarchs, also known as the Seven Sovereigns of the Infernal Realm by the people of the Infernal Realm." Lin Feng suddenly changed the subject.

"What are the Seven Sovereigns of the Infernal Realm? Are they strong? Are they as powerful as my grandfather Beirut?" Bebe asked Beibei.

"The Seven Sovereigns of the Infernal Realm are also seven Chief Sovereign who cultivate the Laws of Destruction. Do you think they're powerful?" Lin Feng teased.

"Uh," Beibei touched her nose and fell silent.

"We are currently in Zijing, which is the territory controlled by the Zijing Chief Sovereign. The Zijing Army I just mentioned is the army under the Chief Sovereign."

"The army of the Chief Sovereign?" Beibei suddenly realized, "No wonder they were so arrogant."

"They're arrogant because they have the right to be arrogant. It's not just because they're the army under the command of the Chief Sovereign; their own strength is also formidable. They are the most powerful army in the entire Zijing Army," Lin Feng explained. "Perhaps a small squad of the Zijing Army isn't too scary, but if you provoke a small squad, you'll likely be followed by a whole battalion of the Zijing Army Zijing Army retaliating. Even if you're Seven-Star Fiend and can handle a battalion, you'll probably be followed by the entire legion of the Zijing Army. In Zijing, almost no one dares to provoke the Zijing Army!"

"In Zijing, apart from the Zijing Army, the Prefecture Soldiers are generally not someone anyone dares to provoke."

"What are these 'Prefecture Soldiers ' (府兵)?" Beibei asked, somewhat annoyed. The Zijing Army was protected by the Chief Sovereign, so no one dared to provoke them, but why did these Prefecture Soldiers suddenly appear?

Lin Feng laughed, "The entire Infernal Realm has a total of 108 prefectures, and Zijing has nearly twenty of them. Each prefecture has its own army, known as the Prefecture Soldiers. Although they are not as powerful as the Zijing Army, their quality is still extremely high. Moreover, they are all subordinate to the Prefect, and you should know that each Prefect is a super strong person who surpasses the Seven-Star Fiend. Naturally, no one dares to provoke their army. Our target this time, Youlan Prefecture, is a prefecture on Blood Peak."

The concept of Seven-Star Fiend was established by Lin Feng for Beibei and Dilia back in Yulan. Now, upon hearing that these Prefect are all powerhouses surpassing Seven-Star Fiend, they couldn't help but feel horrified.

Lin Feng flipped his hand, and two million Inkstone appeared in his palm.

"These things are called Inkstone, the currency of the Infernal Realm. In the Infernal Realm, you can buy anything with Inkstone. Here are two million Inkstone, one million each for you." Lin Feng handed the Inkstone to Dilia and Beibei.

Beibei accepted the Inkstone without hesitation and put it into her Space Ring, while Dilia hesitated for a moment before taking it as well.

"Boss, why is this thing called Inkstone used as currency in the Infernal Realm?" Beibei held an Inkstone in her hand, turning it over and over to examine it.

"These Inkstone cannot be mined anywhere in the Infernal Realm; only the Seven Sovereigns of the Infernal Realm can create them. Just for that reason alone, Inkstone could be used as currency. Moreover, each Inkstone contains a trace of the aura of Chief Sovereign."

"Made by the Chief Sovereign?" Beibei tried to squeeze the Inkstone in her hand, and with a "pop!" the Inkstone shattered.

Beibei tossed the Inkstone fragments in her hand and said, "Things made by the Chief Sovereign aren't very sturdy!"

Lin Feng said, half-laughing and half-crying, "These things were created by the Chief Sovereign to be used as currency, not for fighting. Why make them so sturdy? Did you think they were as hard as Godhead?"

"By the way, boss, since these Inkstone are the currency in the Infernal Realm, where did you get them? Also, this is your first time in the Infernal Realm, how do you know so much about the Infernal Realm?" Beibei asked, puzzled.

Although Dilia didn't speak, the doubt in her eyes clearly showed that she had the same question.

"These Inkstone were obtained from Anlas's Space Ring. As for why I know so much about the Infernal Realm," Lin Feng looked at Dilia and Beibei and smiled, "It's a secret!"

"Huh? Boss, you're keeping this a secret from us?" Beibei exclaimed.

Lin Feng sighed, "Don't ask for now. I'll tell you when the time is right."

"Lin Feng, where are we going now?" Dilia asked, noticing that Lin Feng didn't want to talk about it, and immediately changed the subject.

"Find the bandit gang." Lin Feng's expression relaxed, and he smiled at Dilia.

"Wow, boss, you're planning to become a robber too!" Beibei exclaimed in surprise. "I 'Beibei never been a robber before!"

Lin Feng glared at Beibei and said irritably, "What are you thinking? We're going to find bandits, not to join them, but to rob them."

"Robbery?" Beibei was taken aback.

"Pfft"

Seeing Beibei's astonished expression, Dilia couldn't help but laugh.

"When I said it would take two or three years to reach the nearest city, I didn't mean we could just fly there for two or three years," Lin Feng explained. "There are modes of transportation in the Infernal Realm, namely Metal Lifeform. There are no cities nearby, so we can't buy one. Even if there were, we don't have enough Inkstone to buy even the cheapest Metal Lifeform. In that case, we'll have no choice but to rob them."

"Metal Lifeform?" Beibei asked curiously, "Like Grandpa Beirut's Metal Castle?"

"Your grandfather's Metal Lifeform in Beirut was a high-level Metal Lifeform; I'm just talking about a regular means of transportation, which is rather low-level."

As Lin Feng and his companions flew forward, Lin Feng explained the basics of the Infernal Realm to Beibei and Dilia.

With such flights, half a month passed quickly.

"There must be a bandit gang in that mountain range ahead. Let's rob them." Following Lin Feng's words, Beibei and Dilia also looked ahead and indeed saw figures flashing in and out of the mountains from time to time.

With a flick of his wrist, Lin Feng Lin Feng produced a green droplet radiating an astonishing aura.

"This is?"

"This is the Sovereign’s Might, the power used by the Chief Sovereign," Lin Feng said. "The Sovereign’s Might can be used for combat or defense. If two equally powerful individuals are involved, and one uses the Sovereign’s Might Sovereign’s Might while the other does not, the one using the Sovereign’s Might can almost instantly kill the one who did not."

"Dilia, please accept this!" Lin Feng handed the Sovereign’s Might to Dilia.

Unexpectedly, Dilia refused, saying, "I don't want it. Since the Sovereign’s Might is so powerful, it must be very precious, and its value in your hands will definitely be much greater than in mine. With you protecting me, I don't need the Sovereign’s Might. You should keep it for yourself."

The thought that Dilia nearly died from a dying blow by a Seven-Star Fiend in the original story filled Lin Feng with lingering fear (a self-coined term based on his own experience). If Beirut hadn't arrived in time and saved Dilia with the Life Sovereign Power, Dilia might have perished. If Dilia had possessed even a drop of the Sovereign’s Might at the time, this tragedy wouldn't have occurred. This time, Lin Feng naturally wouldn't allow that to happen again.

"The Sovereign’s Might is precious, but in my heart it's not even a fraction as valuable as you," Lin Feng said affectionately. "Under normal circumstances, with my protection, you won't be in any danger, but anything can happen. I don't want to have any regrets. This drop of Sovereign’s Might is for your survival. Of course, I don't want you to have the opportunity to use this drop of Sovereign’s Might."

"You gave me the Sovereign’s Might, what about you?" Dilia looked at Lin Feng.

"Don't worry, here's one drop for you, I have two more. Look." Lin Feng flipped his hand, and two more drops of emerald green Sovereign’s Might appeared in his hand.

"Alright then!" Dilia stored a drop of Sovereign’s Might into her Space Ring. Dilia knew her importance to Lin Feng; if anything happened to her, Lin Feng would be extremely heartbroken. To avoid upsetting Lin Feng, Dilia could only try her best to protect herself.

"Waaah, boss, you're so biased! I want the Sovereign’s Might too!" Beibei suddenly put on a sad face, but one look into his mischievous eyes revealed that he was acting.

Lin Feng showed no "pity" for the mischievous Beibei, but instead withdrew the Sovereign’s Might in his hand, saying, "Your body has surpassed the strength of my body after my dragon transformation, and I think Lord Beirut has also given you a powerful treasure to protect your soul. Your defense is basically invincible; you're practically an unkillable cockroach. Moreover, your Innate Divine Ability, God Eater, is unmatched among those of the same level. Your attack and defense are both monstrous; do you still need the Sovereign’s Might?"

"Boss, how did you know Grandpa Beirut gave me such a treasure? I don't remember telling you. Could it be because you cultivate the Laws of Fate and have the ability to foresee the past and future?"

"Have you ever seen High Priest with the ability to foresee the future and know the past?" Lin Feng glanced at Beibei.

"Uh, I don't think so," Beibei answered honestly.

"That settles it then."

Just then, a divine sense emanated from the mountains below.
