Chapter 55: Mercenary Regiment
The next day, Bai Li woke up from his coma and asked Ling Feng about his situation after he fell into a coma yesterday. Bai Li didn't expect that the stranger who saved him would be so affectionate and beat those people back. Ling Feng didn't dare to tell Bai Li that he had killed those people, because once he told Bai Li, he would be curious and suspicious of Ling Feng's true combat power.
Bai Li asked, "Who are you, how can you be so powerful?" Seeing Bai Li ask, Ling Feng had no choice but to reply, "My name is Fenglin, I'm from Jinluan City, and I'm going to go to the Valley of the Depths to deal with some things this time. By the way, through the conversations of those people, I don't think you are a casual cultivator, who are you?"
Bai Li scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't dare to tell you the truth because I didn't know your details before." But I didn't expect you to be so affectionate. So I decided to tell you now that I am Bai Li, the son of the leader of the White Tiger Mercenary Group in the Dark City, and the people who chased and killed me before were people who belonged to the Wolf Mercenary Group. Before, because I had some trouble with their leader's son, Lang Gou, and then I accidentally killed Lang Gou in a confrontation. After that, it aroused the wrath of the wolf group, and the whole group began to reward my head. As long as someone can kill me, I will be able to get the position of deputy head that has been vacant for a long time. That's why the wolves and the people outside are crazy and want to get rid of me."
Ling Feng asked again, "Then didn't your father find a way to protect you?" Bai Li replied, "Of course there is, after all, my father is only my son." When he heard about it, he gave me a lot of things to save my life. But I ran out of them all in that chase just now. That's why it's so embarrassing. Originally, my father and I were inseparable, but I didn't expect the wolf group to use a strategy to separate our father and son. That's why I had to rush home, but I didn't expect to run in the wrong direction."
Hearing this, Ling Feng thought to himself that this guy could even run in the wrong direction, it was really enough. He laughed out loud. The neighborhood was filled with Ling Feng's laughter.
After a moment, Ling Feng wiped away the tears from his laughter and said, "In that case, I'll send you home, and by the way, I can learn about the situation in the Dark City and the Valley of the Depths." So the two went to the Dark City, talking and laughing along the way.
Because Bai Li's legs and feet have not yet recovered, the road to the Dark City this time, the two of them walked for two days to arrive. However, after arriving, Bai Li began to rush to the gates of the Undercity as if he was fully healed. Bai Li walked into the city gate smoothly, but Ling Feng was stopped by the city gate guards and said, "Whoever is coming, report your name quickly." What are the intentions of coming to my Undercity?" Ling Feng wondered if this Dark City wouldn't allow outsiders to enter.
At this time, Bai Li, who heard the guard's words, suddenly reacted that Ling Feng was still outside, so he hurriedly ran over to the guard and said, "At this time, my friends of Bai Li, please don't embarrass others." But those guards didn't seem to give Bai Li face, and their attitude was very resolute. So Bai Li was very helpless and took out some spirit stones from the storage ring and handed them to the head of the guard, and said, "You can enter now, big brothers." So a few people let Ling Feng go.
While entering, Ling Feng thought that this dark city was really as dark as its name, and even a city gate guard dared to blatantly accept bribes, it was really too dark. Thinking about it, Ling Feng still followed Bai Li into the Dark City. Prepare to head to the White Tiger Regiment's station.
After arriving at the White Tiger Regiment's station, Ling Feng found that the guards at the gate were all big men. As soon as I got closer, I heard the guard say, "Young Master Bai, you can be regarded as back, the regiment commander has been in a hurry for the past two days, and a group of people have to be sent out every day to find your whereabouts." When Bai Li heard it, he said, "Okay, okay, I know, isn't it safe to come back?"
Seeing that Ling Feng was going to follow Bai Li in, the big men blocked Ling Feng's sight and said sternly, "Who are you, why are you following our young master" Bai Li hurriedly explained, "At this time, my friend Feng Lin, this time thanks to him, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back, you have to respect him as you respect me, you know" Then the big man nodded and made way for Ling Feng.
Bai Li said to Ling Feng, "Don't look at some people who are rude, in fact, I think they are the most righteous people in the world." Then you will come with me to my father, and I will say hello to him first, and then arrange for you to live near me, and you will stay here for you to explore the deep valley later."
So Ling Feng followed Bai Li to a huge hall, and at this time a middle-aged man was sitting in the middle, with a sad face. As soon as Bai Li entered the door, he shouted, "Father, I'm back." At this time, the middle-aged man who was still full of sadness turned into joy when he saw Bai Li. happily rushed down and hugged Bai Li. said, "Li'er, it's okay, if something happens to you, how can I explain to your mother under the Nine Springs?"
After a long while, Bai Li's father noticed Ling Feng and asked his son about the incident. After listening to Bai Li's narration, Bai Li's father said to Ling Feng, "My name is Bai Tao, Bai Li's father, thank you very much for being able to send my Li'er back safely this time, in the future, you will save me the great benefactor of our whole group, and if you have a place to use my White Tiger Regiment in the future, we will definitely do our best to help."
From these words, Ling Feng could feel that this person was definitely a person who valued love and righteousness. So Ling Feng decided that this friend was settled. Without pretentiousness, he said, "Okay, I understand your kindness, and I thank you in advance."
Seeing that Ling Feng was so bold and graceful, he happily patted Bai Li's shoulder and said, "I didn't expect your kid to be lucky enough to make such a good friend." Bai Li smirked. So at Bai Tao's suggestion, Bai Li took Ling Feng to a residence near him and asked Ling Feng to live here for the time being. Later, we will discuss the journey to the Valley of the Deeps.
The next day, Bai Li Lingfeng wandered around the Dark City. After walking around, Ling Feng found that most of the people walking on the streets of this Dark City were mercenaries. The most popular store is a pharmacy. There is an endless stream of people buying pills in every store. Bai Li told Ling Feng that because the Dark City was on the edge of the Deep Valley, there were many intruders here, but it was too dangerous to enter alone. Therefore, many cultivators have chosen to join a reliable mercenary group.
Ling Feng's purpose in going to the Valley of the Depths this time was to find Master Napu. So Ling Feng asked Bai Li about this person. However, Bai Li told Ling Feng that he had lived here for so long and had never heard of such a person. So Bai Li decided to take Ling Feng to ask his father Bai Tao about it.
When Ling Feng told Bai Tao, Bai Tao sat there and pondered for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry, Ling Feng, since I came to this Dark City, I haven't heard of the cultivators you described in the Deep Valley." After hearing this, Ling Feng thought to himself that such an old Jianghu had never heard of Master Pu, and it seemed that this journey would be full of ups and downs.
Therefore, in the past few days, Ling Feng has been preparing to inquire around in the Dark City about Master Pu's news, hoping to gain something. Even a hint of a clue. After a few days of inquiry, Ling Feng found that there were very few people in the entire Dark City who knew Master Pu, and occasionally met a few who knew, but they only knew that Master Pu disappeared into the Deep Valley a few decades ago, and no one knew whether Master Pu was alive or dead.
After these days of inquiry, Ling Feng, who had not received any useful news, returned to the White Tiger Regiment in frustration. When Bai Li saw Ling Feng like this, he comforted, "Why don't look for it yet, maybe there will be news of him one day." And so many people don't know about his existence, this Master Pu can't be fiction."
Listening to Bai Li's words, Ling Feng fell into deep thought.
