Chapter 583: Chapter 419: Fishing?

On Cloud Mist Mountain, Yang Qingtian stood at the peak, quietly gazing into the distance.

His gaze was fixed in the direction of the Maple Forest Space Gate.

Beside him, Yang Qing exuded an imposing aura, his body like a sword, also looking into the distance.

“Can you guess why they’re taking action this time?” Yang Qingtian suddenly asked after a moment of silence.

Recently, the King Becoming plan has dominated the major news, but the sudden departure of the Lin Feng squad still caused quite a stir in Shangjing and even nationwide.

They had just received the news and felt surprised and puzzled.

Wasn’t it safest to stay in Shangjing with the alien race’s bounty looming?

What Guanglin had, Shangjing also had, and even more comprehensively.

With Lin Feng’s strength, returning to Red Cloud University held little significance.

Even if they truly wanted to leave, why not wait a few more months for the Guardian Divine Artifact to restore its teleportation function?

What could necessitate such urgent and immediate action?

None of it made any sense.

In the Lin Feng squad, aside from Bu Zheng, Yun Tianqi, and Ye Xing, the strongest among them were only at the Sixth Grade rank. Facing massive bounties, they remained so confident, it was impossible not to wonder.

“I don’t know, but there’s definitely a plan!” Yang Qing said slowly, his eyes showing a hint of complexity.

For some reason, he recalled the saying: “Are you still proud now?”

For a week, this sentence occasionally echoed in his ears, making him exceptionally restless and humiliated.

“Perhaps.”

Yang Qingtian chuckled.

Though the truth remained unknown, judging from Yang Ningbing’s reaction, the closure of the Space Gate in the Land of Chaos was most likely related to Lin Feng.

It might even have been Lin Feng himself who closed it.

To accomplish this while keeping everyone in the dark and remaining so low-key proves that Lin Feng is neither reckless nor foolish.

This sudden move certainly has his plan; it’s just unclear what that plan is.

“Do you think it could be a deliberate lure?” Yang Qingtian speculated.

“Unlikely, but still possible!”

Yang Qing replied, if it were another squad, such speculation would be very laughable.

But if it were the Lin Feng squad, it would be very possible.

This was a bold team that had never failed and had remarkable achievements.

In the Land of Chaos, even facing Kings, they had killed over a dozen, and in the case of the alien races, thousands more; there was nothing they dared not do.

The only puzzle for Yang Qing was whether it was necessary?

What benefits could come from it?

“Even Ning Bing kept it from us!”

Yang Qingtian said, with a slightly dissatisfied tone.

Yang Ningbing obviously knew some inside information about the closure of the Space Gate in the Land of Chaos but didn’t tell them.

She also didn’t inform them before suddenly leaving this time, not even notifying her parents in advance.

Yesterday, she also withdrew a lot of pills from the family and took away a demon spirit that contained a Diamond soul skill.

Clearly, she didn’t plan to return to the family in the short term.

“It’s fine that she joined.” Yang Qing was indifferent about it, saying softly.

Yang Qingtian didn’t say more.

He agreed with Yang Ningbing joining the Lin Feng squad.

Initially, he wasn’t too concerned about this squad formed by a group of elite prodigies. After all, the average age of the Lin Feng squad was 21, and their strength wasn’t considered strong yet.

Growing up truly would take at least ten years.

Ten years later, each one would have different jobs and goals, so whether they’d still gather together was uncertain.

This situation was common, but with Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi’s joining and their increasingly brilliant achievements in the other-dimensional space, the squad had caught the attention of various major forces.

Although the squad had no Kings, each member was a super genius with unlimited potential.

If their members weren’t considered strong yet, they might have already aroused concern among the major forces.

Yang Ningbing’s joining could only bring benefits, not harm; her strength had also improved quickly, now already at the Peak of Sixth Grade, a Sixth Star Demon Spirit Master.

Such strength was exceptionally rare among her peers, with few able to compare. Based solely on cultivation speed, she might even be stronger than Yang Qing was back then.

Yang Qingtian and Yang Qing did not know at that moment, but Yang Ningbing had broken through to an Eighth Grade Grandmaster, becoming an Eight Star Demon Spirit Master. If they knew, they would surely be shocked.

A 22-year-old Grandmaster, this terrifying cultivation speed would definitely cause a sensation, shaking the world.

This is why the Lin Feng squad dared not easily expose their strength.

…

In a room, when Hong Tao and his two companions learned of the Lin Feng squad’s actions, they stopped their temporary meeting, with a hint of curiosity showing in their expressions. This was also unexpected for them.

Based on intelligence reports, quite a few assassins and forces had quietly moved out; even they found the current situation tricky.

Faced with a massive bounty, not only Kings but even some Emperors would be tempted.

Such a huge sum of money would attract all sorts of nefarious characters.

Surely all the assassins would be interested.

And the alien race’s Five Great Forces definitely wouldn’t miss this opportunity; even if unaware that Lin Feng closed the Space Gate, they couldn’t simply let it go with the number of aliens the Lin Feng squad had hunted down.

At that time, both internal troubles and external threats would come; at best, Bu Zheng and the others could only protect themselves, but how could they ensure the safety of Lin Feng and the rest?

It’s known that at the Eight Star level Space Gate, experts of the Ninth Grade can enter, and the suppression isn’t too strong; Kings could even appear.

The appearance of Kings at the Eight Star level Space Gate and at the Space Gate in the Land of Chaos are two different concepts; the danger is also incomparable.

In the Land of Chaos, the Lin Feng squad could easily slay Kings in numbers as high as one or two dozen, but in the Maple Forest Space Gate, trying to kill Kings was nearly impossible.

“What are they trying to do? Are they just returning to Guanglin?” Xie Chun furrowed her brow slightly, expressing some concern.

Starting from the Maple Forest Space Gate, traversing six space gates would bring them back to Guanglin.

The Lin Feng squad returning to Guanglin wasn’t unusual, but why not wait a few more months? Why in such a hurry?

It’s well known that the path would undoubtedly be fraught with danger.

As the main contributor to this Space Gate closure, she naturally didn’t want to see the Lin Feng squad get into trouble. However, she too couldn’t guess the Lin Feng squad’s sudden departure purpose.

“At present, the purpose of Lin Feng squad leaving Shangjing is unclear, and no one knew the Lin Feng squad would act suddenly today.”

A man respectfully said in front of Hong Tao and his two companions.

“Should we call them back? Or send someone to protect them?” Xie Chun looked at Hong Tao, inquiring.

Chen Tiangeng also looked at Hong Tao but remained silent.

“No need.”

Hong Tao held a tea cup with white and red characters, took a sip of strong tea, and smiled: “They’ve already entered, so it’s not easy to call them back. Regardless of the purpose, if they’re confident, they have the courage. Just have someone keep an eye on them.”

He didn’t care about a squad without Kings.

Even if they all died, he wouldn’t feel distressed.

But he was curious about the Lin Feng squad’s purpose.

Was it just to return to Guanglin?

Or were they fishing?

Fishing for big fish?

…

Upon entering the Maple Forest Space Gate, what appeared before Lin Feng was a barren plain with no vegetation, with people occasionally passing through the Space Gate, appearing beside them, or passing by them.

Perhaps because of the bounty, the squad members always felt that the strangers looking at them had malicious intent and killing intent.

“Why do I feel like everyone wants a piece of us?”

Yu Qiao said as he grew excited.

“Speak properly!”

Yun Tianqi expressed dissatisfaction, but truthfully, he also began to feel excited, his body slightly restless.

This time, who knew what prey they might catch?
