"Just as I expected, the Gale City finally couldn't help but ask us for help. 💥💥 🎃💞" Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "You all stay here, I'll go down and deal with these people."

Lin Feng gave instructions to Beibei and the other two, then stepped out of his Metal Lifeform. In the next instant, he slammed into the ground like a lump of iron. His speed was much faster than that of a bird with broken wings; Lin Feng had actually cast a "Gravity Space" spell on himself.

"Boom!"

A loud bang was heard, and Lin Feng was already standing on the ground. However, the ground of the valley was cracking outwards from the center of Lin Feng's feet.

The cracks are pointing in all directions, and at first glance they appear extremely irregular. But upon closer inspection, one can see that the direction of the cracks is quite strange, with one crack forming a circle that precisely separates the City Guard from the bandits.

"Rise!"

Lin Feng shout, and then the land enclosed by the crack detached from the ground and rose rapidly. Finally, it floated in mid-air like a floating island.

Meanwhile, the City Guard on the "island" and the bandits below were still in a daze, not yet able to react to this series of lightning-fast changes.

Suddenly, a loud bang rang out, shaking the entire valley and cracking the ground. Was it an earthquake?

Also, how did the enemy suddenly rise into the air along with the ground beneath their feet? Were they pushed into the sky by the earth?

When the robbers finally realized what was happening, they found that their bodies had suddenly become a million times heavier, making it difficult even to lift their arms. Although they were standing on the ground, their feet were slowly sinking into it.

"This is Gravity Space created by a super-powerful Earth Element."

Suddenly, someone who knew its value shouted out.

Meanwhile, the hundreds of Highgod besieging the Gale City were also suffering terribly. They found that even a single strand of their hair weighed a ton, and with their hair pressing down on their heads, it felt like they were wearing a super-sized iron hat. If they could lift their hands at this moment, they would definitely shave their heads without hesitation.

"Gale, I've subdued these people. The rest is up to you."

Lin Feng laughed heartily, his cheerful laughter echoing throughout the entire valley.

Only after Lin Feng spoke did everyone realize that it was this young man in a sky-blue robe who had done all of this.

"Thanks, brother." The Gale City couldn't help but grin. He asked Lin Feng for help with a try-it-out attitude, not expecting Lin Feng to actually help. After all, in the Infernal Realm, almost everyone has a cold, indifferent attitude of not caring about others' business, and very few people will meddle in other people's affairs.

After thanking Lin Feng, the Gale City suddenly roared.

"Gale Rampage!"

Wind elements converged wildly from all directions, countless Wind Blade appeared out of thin air, and the raging Gale howled. Some broken stones on the ground were blown up by the Gale and instantly shredded into nothingness.

"Die, all of you, die!"

The raging Gale formed a vortex and moved rapidly toward the bandits.

"Ah, no, no!"

Their souls wanted to rebel, but their bodies were immobile.

The final cries of a group of god-level powerhouses could not save their lives.

Their bodies were shredded into nothingness by the Gale, and their souls were Gale as well. Where the vortex passed, only their Godhead remained, proving their previous existence.

The Gale continued to rage, and nearly half of the 100,000 bandits were quickly swallowed up. They screamed and begged for mercy, but it was all in vain.

Lin Feng stood in mid-air, looking down at the valley that had become a living Infernal Realm, and felt a pang of pity.

Having cultivated the rules of death, he knew that although death was terrifying, resentful, and cruel, it was also the most just judgment in the world.

At this moment, Lin Feng once again deeply felt the cruelty of the rule of the strong.

The number of bandits dwindled, and despair began to set in. They finally understood the terror of Asura, and how foolish it was to make an enemy of Asura. Even if this Asura was not skilled in combat, even if this Asura had only recently entered the realm of martial arts, Asura was still Asura, Fiend of the mortal world, an assassin, a butcher's knife, and not someone they, ordinary god-level powerhouses, could deal with.

As Lin Feng watched these usually wicked and heinous bandits, whose crimes were too numerous to count, become so humble in the face of death, he gradually gained an understanding.

"Death is judgment, the final judgment of a life."

"Buzz~"

A peculiar fluctuation of heaven and earth suddenly emanated from it, and the Laws of the World descended.

Lin Feng, clad in a gray robe, flew out from his main body. This was Lin Feng 'Lin Feng Death Divine Clone. He was immediately enveloped by the Laws of the World and floated in mid-air. At the same time, a Godhead shimmering with gray light also floated out from Lin Feng's Death Divine Clone. Enveloped by the power of the laws, it underwent a transformation from Lowgod Godhead to Midgod.

"Did the boss's Death Divine Clone also break through to the Midgod?"

On the metal surface, Beibei and the others saw Lin Feng's current situation and were overjoyed.

Although the breakthrough of the Death Divine Clone from Lowgod to Midgod did not improve Lin Feng's strength in the slightest, who can say for sure that, many years later, Lin Feng's Death Rules will not reach Paragon?

The arrival of the Laws of the World attracted the attention of almost all the god-level powerhouses present, including the bandits who were about to perish in the Gale.

The transformation from Lowgod to Midgod only requires a metamorphosis of the Godhead, without the need to condense Divine Body, so it is completed very quickly.

After Lin Feng absorbed the Death Divine Clone, which had already advanced to the level of Midgod, into his body, he felt a gentle breeze on his face, and then he discovered that the burly Gale City was grinning at him.

"Congratulations, congratulations! I didn't expect you to also cultivate the rules of death, brother." The Gale City laughed heartily. "Brother, your achievements in the Laws of Earth far surpass mine in the Laws of Wind Elements. I didn't expect you to have other Divine Clone. Someone like me, a roughneck, only has this one body."

"You flatter me." Lin Feng returned the smile. After all, the other party was also Asura expert. Although his strength was much weaker than his, at least they were equals in terms of realm. Lin Feng smiled and said, "My name is Lin Feng. I have been living in your Gale City for the past ten years. I am very curious about your city, which is as peaceful as a pastoral mountain village."

"Alright, Brother Lin Feng, I didn't expect you to be a resident of my Gale City as well. It's just that for the past ten years, I've been away sweeping away these hateful bandits and haven't returned to the city, so I missed it. If it weren't for what happened today, I would have... Oh, I should have said that I promised you a generous reward when I asked for your help before, Brother Lin Feng. That was too cliché of me. But you have indeed helped me a lot today, and since you are a resident of my Gale City, I'll give you the best courtyard in the best location in Gale City. How about that?"

"Haha, there's no need for the courtyard," Lin Feng laughed. "We're not staying in Gale City permanently, just temporarily, and we're preparing to leave soon. What you consider a great favor is nothing more than a small favor to me. Besides, if it weren't for today's events, my Death Rule wouldn't have broken through to the Midgod realm so quickly. Speaking of which, I should thank you."

"Since that's the case, then I won't insist you stay any longer." The Gale City laughed heartily. "But Brother Lin Feng, if you ever pass through Gale City again, please be sure to let me know so I can fulfill my duty as a host."

That was just polite talk. After all, Infernal Realm is infinitely vast, and there are over a thousand cities. It's very likely that passing through Gale City this time was just a coincidence, and who knows when he'll come back to Gale City again.

Of course, it was just polite talk, but it sounded nice.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Definitely, definitely."

After bidding farewell to the Gale City, Lin Feng rode away on his Metal Lifeform.

Flowers bloom and fade, Blood Sun and Purple Moon alternate, and two years quickly passed.

"We've arrived in Lanfeng City!" Beibei cheered.

All four members of the Metal Lifeform were overjoyed.

"We've finally arrived!" Looking at the beautiful and ancient Lanfeng City in the distance through the transparent metal, Lin Feng felt a surge of emotion. Originally, he estimated that it would take a year to reach Lanfeng City, but because they stopped in every city along the way to visit and sometimes stayed for ten days or half a month, it took them almost two years to reach Lanfeng City, the southernmost city of Zijing.

Lanfeng City in Hongyang Prefecture is located in the southeast corner of the entire Redbud Continent. From Lanfeng City, it only takes a short flight to reach the vast Starry Fog Sea.

Whether traveling from Zijing to Bifu in the east or to Blood Peak in the southeast, Lanfeng City is the closest point. A large number of people pass through here, and some large merchant caravans also have outposts here. This has made Lanfeng City extremely prosperous, far surpassing the prosperity of other cities in Zijing! Of course, it is still slightly inferior to Radiant Huiyue City near the Amethyst Mountain Range.

"It's quite peculiar that there are even Zijing Army at the city gates of Lanfeng City." Dilia praised with a faint smile. At this moment, Lin Feng and his three companions had already entered Lanfeng City and were walking on the main road inside the Lanfeng City.

In most cities, the city gates are guarded by City Guard guards, and the Zijing Army can only be seen outside Zijing Castle. But at the gates of Lanfeng City, there were two neatly lined-up Bauhinia Army Zijing Army. Moreover, they were Highgod Zijing Army.

"Lanfeng City is an extremely prosperous city. Trade leads to a large number of caravans departing from here, and many powerful individuals who aspire to travel to other places also set off from here. It's normal to station some Zijing Army here in such an important place," Lin Feng said, while also looking around and appreciating the style of Lanfeng City, which is different from other cities.

Every city has something in common. For example, every city in Zijing has three castles: "Zijing Castle", "Black Sand Castle" and "Fiend Castle", and they are mostly located in the bustling downtown area of the city.

Of course, every city has its own unique features.

For example, Huiyue City has no curfew, Gale City doesn't charge a city fee, and the city is like a peaceful and tranquil mountain village. But the unique feature of Lanfeng City is its special geographical location, which attracts a large influx of people.

This Lanfeng City showed Lin Feng the prosperity of the Infernal Realm cities, which was in no way inferior to some of the top metropolises on Earth.

The massive flow of people naturally brings with it a massive commercial trade. Unlike the tranquility of Gale City, or the crowds of Huiyue City, it only has the hustle and bustle of a normal city.

"Lin Feng," Dilia whispered telepathically.

"Huh?" Lin Feng looked over in confusion. Dilia gave him a wink and then glanced at Nisi. Only then did Lin Feng notice that Nisi's mood seemed a bit off.

Upon arriving in Lanfeng City, Nisi, who usually considers herself one of the two lively characters with Beibei, didn't utter a single word.

Wearing the straw hat Beibei had knitted for her, with her head slightly lowered, Nisi walked silently, completely oblivious to the surrounding buildings and people. It was difficult to discern her thoughts from her appearance. However, upon seeing this, Lin Feng understood something.

Nisi misses her older Salomon.

His elder Salomon was on his way to Bifu, and would definitely pass through Lanfeng City. The escort mission they had taken on before was from Diyi City of Yemu Prefecture to Lanfeng City of Hongyang Prefecture. However, they had served in the Amethyst Mountain Range for decades. If Salomon hadn't died at the hands of Aliquin, he probably would have already crossed the Starry Fog Sea and reached Bifu.

"Beibei," Lin Feng Soul Transmission to Beibei.

"Boss, what do you want?" Beibei replied telepathically.

"Nisi misses her older Salomon, go and comfort her," Lin Feng said. Comforting Nisi was naturally the most suitable task for Beibei.

Lin Feng noticed that Beibei and Nisi were whispering to each other beside him, and knew that he was comforting Nisi. He smiled knowingly and said, "It's still early. Let's go try some of the local specialties of Lanfeng City first, and then go to Fiend Castle to accept the mission."

When Lin Feng and his three companions came out of the restaurant, it was already evening, and the Blood Sun was setting in the west, clearly about to disappear into the distance.

But through some unknown means, Beibei managed to bring a smile back to Nisi's face, restoring her former liveliness.

Upon arriving at the bustling downtown area, Lin Feng and his companions discovered that the Fiend Castle here was significantly larger than both the Zijing Castle and the Black Sand Castle.

But after a moment's thought, Lin Feng and the others understood.

Huiyue City primarily engages in the Amethyst trade, so its Zijing Castle is larger than both the Fiend Castle and Black Sand Castle. Lanfeng City, on the other hand, is a port city, and many of the people passing through it are Fiend coming to accept escort missions. With increased business, it's natural to build a larger Fiend Castle to avoid overcrowding.

Although the size has increased, the style of Fiend Castle is exactly the same as that of Fiend Castle in other places.

Following precedent, Lin Feng and his group arrived at the second floor of the Fiend Castle. Next to the main hall on the second floor was a row of rooms, all used for One-Star Fiend to accept quests. Lin Feng and his group of four entered one of the open rooms.

Inside the room was a blonde woman in a purple robe.

The woman in purple robes looked up at the four of them and said indifferently, "Speak, what mission do you want?"

"The four of us have accepted a two-star mission, and our goal is to travel from Lanfeng City to Blood Peak Nisha City," Lin Feng said.

Nishan City is also located in the northwest corner of Blood Peak. People usually arrive at Nishan City when they travel from Zijing.

"Blood Peak? Wait a minute." The woman in purple robes glanced at Lin Feng with her blue eyes, then closed them for a moment. When she opened her eyes again, a thick scroll appeared in her hand. She flipped through it and said, "From Lanfeng City to Nishan City, the border city of Blood Peak, there are a total of 13,289 missions within a month, including 1,830 two-star missions. You can choose for yourselves." With that, she placed the thick scroll in front of Lin Feng.

"There are over ten thousand missions! And nearly two thousand of them are two-star missions alone!" Beibei exclaimed in amazement.

The woman in purple robes said calmly, "Every day, a large number of people travel from Lanfeng City to Blood Peak, Bifu, or Starry Fog Sea. However, most of them have their own caravans. Not many actually issue missions. Even so, it's quite normal to have over ten thousand different missions."

Lin Feng flipped through the list of two-star missions.

"Boss, which one should we choose?" Beibei was overwhelmed by the choices and didn't know which one to pick.

Lin Feng turned to look at the group and said, "Let's choose a simple and easy task."

The reason Lin Feng and his group planned to take on a mission when they crossed the Starry Fog Sea and Mist to Blood Peak was simply to avoid making their decades-long journey too boring, not to experience an exciting life. Therefore, they didn't need to take on any large or difficult missions.

"This is it." Lin Feng made his decision.

This is a small task: to hire twenty Fiend.

"This?" Beibei peeked out and muttered, "The reward is so low! Crossing the vast Starry Fog Sea only gets you 100,000 Inkstone. That's incredibly stingy."

Dilia laughed, "Beibei, you still care about this?"

If all the Amethyst in Beibei's possession were converted into Inkstone, it would far exceed the wealth accumulated by Nisi's Boyd Clan over countless years. Compared to that, 100,000 Inkstone would be nothing.

"Give me the Fiend Badge," the woman in purple robes said.

After completing all the necessary procedures, Lin Feng and his companions left the Fiend Castle. They also learned the departure date was three days later. This was one of the reasons Lin Feng chose this mission and set off in three days.

Lin Feng and his group then purchased a large amount of food and wine before checking into the hotel.

The next three days were spent in the hotel's private courtyard.
