The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1703 - 1708: Complete Divine Movement

"Could it be that some Demon King forged your body?" the old man asked Lin Fei, puzzled.

Lin Fei nodded, "To be honest, senior, when I was in the Lower Realm, I encountered a Demon King who was sealed. To get me to break his seal, he modified my body, turning it into this form."

"I see, but the Demon Clan always leaves a trap behind. I’m afraid if you encounter him again, you might become a major problem," the old man warned.

"Senior, please help me!" Lin Fei immediately responded.

The old sweeper shook his head, "It’s not that I won’t help you. The Cultivation Methods of the Demon Clan differ from those of the Righteous Path. They are extremely wicked, and the many traps and invisible threats they set are hard to detect and eliminate. So I can’t help you, especially since he is a Demon King. If you want to avoid this from happening, I advise you not to wander in the Upper Realm lightly, or it could be very dangerous!"

Hearing the old man’s words, Lin Fei sighed, "I’ll just have to take it one step at a time. After all, my strength is still weak, and I can’t possibly become his pawn yet."

"Heh, you’re mistaken. Your strength has little to do with whether you could be used. Even if you are strong, it doesn’t mean you can’t be controlled. On the contrary, since he’s already made your body so strong, he could directly infuse you with Cultivation, and your Cultivation would rise. We call such people demon puppets."

"Demon puppets?" Lin Fei couldn’t believe that he was a puppet of the Demon Clan.

"Yes, demon puppet means a puppet of the Demon Clan, very terrifying. Right now, you’re like a subordinate of the Demon Lord. When they find you, they will definitely make you lose your way!"

The old man’s explanation left Lin Fei feeling a shiver down his spine, and he dared not speak any further. However, he was very curious how the old man knew so much.

"Senior, is there a way to change this?" Lin Fei asked.

"Of course there is, provided you become stronger than them, or have some other mysterious arts; otherwise, it will be difficult to break free from this control," the old sweeper explained without holding back any details.

"I see, in that case, I’ll just have to go with the flow," Lin Fei sighed.

"Actually, you needn’t be too pessimistic. Don’t idle here; venture out, and you will eventually achieve something. Perhaps you might find a way to counter them. By then, you’ll have gained something substantial, as the physique of the Demon Lord is something many people desire," the old man said, smiling.

Lin Fei shrugged, not entirely optimistic, but he said, "I’m afraid not. Here at Qianhuang Peak, I have no freedom whatsoever, let alone the possibility of leaving Qianhuang Peak."

"Is that so? So, where are you now? Still at Qianhuang Peak?" the old man teased Lin Fei with a smile.

Lin Fei was stunned, then joyfully asked, "Senior, are you suggesting I leave?"

"I haven’t asked you to leave; it’s just that you don’t belong in a place like this. So you might as well leave here. Moreover, since that old man set up the board, the most interesting thing for me is to ensure that old man has no pieces to play," said the old sweeper, revealing his dislike for the old Sect Master.

"I see, in that case, many thanks to you, senior!" Lin Fei bowed respectfully to him, surprised that, by a twist of fate, he had actually managed to leave the Qianhuang Peak where he longed to escape. It was really amusing.

"You don’t need to thank me. I just dislike that old man acting as if he has everything under control. Since he didn’t give you all the Godspeed Talismans, I’ll give them to you!" The old man finished speaking, and a Rune appeared in his palm, which he then imprinted into Lin Fei’s mind, where Lin Fei suddenly felt something new. Upon careful inspection, he discovered it was the Godspeed Talisman.

This Godspeed Talisman, however, seemed to have changed its appearance, looking more as if it were constantly transforming—a very mysterious sight.

Lin Fei didn’t expect the old man to be so generous. As soon as he came to his senses, the old man had vanished in an instant, clearly using the Godspeed Talisman to disappear.

At that moment, a voice reverberated across the heavens and earth.

"Remember, the Godspeed Talisman has three layers: Flowing Light, Shadowless, and Instantaneous Movement. You must not casually show it to others, nor pass it on to others. Remember!"

"Yes, senior, I understand. Thank you, senior, for your great kindness, which I will repay one day!" Lin Fei shouted towards where the old man had disappeared.

After that, the old man’s voice disappeared. Lin Fei could not be sure if he had heard his words, but Lin Fei had etched this kindness into his heart.

At this point, Lin Fei glanced around at the scenery and looked down to see that below was indeed the Abyss, but compared to Qianhuang Peak, it was mere child’s play.

Lin Fei looked at the sky above—murky and gray—but when at Qianhuang Peak, the sky appeared pure blue, perhaps because below was a land of murky heavens and earth.

"I didn’t expect the weather in the Upper Realm to be so awful as well. It’s really speechless, the Upper Realm isn’t that special after all!"

After speaking, Lin Fei began descending the mountain. The journey was quite peaceful, yet Lin Fei felt the surrounding pressure, rendering him, a Golden Core Realm expert, unable to master flying. He tried but found the pressure too intense to succeed, unless he advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Upon realizing this, Lin Fei wasn’t anxious; instead, he took a leisurely walk, observing the surroundings and noting the dark green vegetation, giving off a lifeless aura. Lin Fei wasn’t sure of the cause, though according to ancient texts, these things were supposedly nothing special—a kind of muddled Heaven and Earth Qi seeping from underground.

Lin Fei thought these were likely muddled Qi!

"There’s no one around; truly vexing. I must find a way to return briefly. I wonder how the Lower Realm is doing after such a long time!"

With his thoughts on the Lower Realm, Lin Fei continued forward until he encountered a rabbit on the road.

Lin Fei looked at the rabbit staring back at him. It was pure white and quite beautiful, with striking red eyes. As he walked closer, preparing to grab it, danger suddenly arose!

The rabbit suddenly let out a thunderous roar at Lin Fei, akin to rolling thunder, then stood upright, growing ever larger...
