After issuing the Tokens, Murong Zining first approached Di Xuan, inviting him with a warm smile, "Young Master Di Xuan, there are still ten days to go. Why not come to my Murong Family as a guest? We can depart from there in ten days."

"No need."

Di Xuan, with no expression on his face, directly refused Murong Zining's invitation. He then glanced at Ling Feng, nodded slightly, and left the venue in a single leap.

A trace of displeasure clearly flashed in Murong Zining's eyes. This Di Xuan entirely disregarded her, treating her as air!

Taking a deep breath, Murong Zining continued to invite other talented individuals who had obtained the Tianlan Sea Tokens to visit the Murong Family. Unlike Di Xuan, they readily agreed.

Finally, when it was Ling Feng's turn, Murong Zining merely glared at him fiercely, not bothering to say another word.

This wretched fatty, clearly a toad wanting to eat swan meat!

Seeing Murong Zining raise her head high like a proud swan and walk away, Ling Feng smirked disdainfully.

She doesn't want to pay attention to me? I'm not interested in paying her any mind either!

Accompanied by Tuoba Yan and Yang Huanzhi, he returned to the courtyard. With ten days to spare, Ling Feng decided to enter secluded cultivation, hoping to break through to the King-level during this time.

However, he was unaware that a conspiracy against him was quietly unfolding.

...

Murong Mansion.

Soon after the Tianlan Sea Token competition ended, a mysterious guest appeared outside the Murong Mansion, cloaked in a broad black robe with only a pair of sinister eyes exposed, making others shiver with fear.

If Ling Feng were present, he would certainly recognize this black-robed person as the individual who had competed with him for the "Nightmare Heart Technique" in front of the Heavenly Illusion Palace during the Soul Stairs encounter.

This person was an old Human Emperor who had seized a young man's body but was ultimately recognized by Queen Huanxin and expelled from Tianhuan Island.

Originally, after being expelled, the black-robed person harbored a deep hatred towards Ling Feng and Queen Huanxin. Unfortunately, his current power was far from its peak, so he has been trailing Ling Feng ever since, eventually arriving at the Deserted City.

After revealing his identity, the black-robed person was invited into the Side Hall by the guards of the Murong Family. He waited for about half a tea's time before an elderly man with youthful features and a ruddy complexion finally arrived.

This man was the Clan Leader of the Murong Family and the City Lord of the Deserted City, a true Overlord-level figure in the Tianlan Sea Domain, Desolate Sea Venerate, Murong Quan!

The Desolate Sea Venerate strode into the Side Hall, casting a glance at the black-robed person, causing him to shiver uncontrollably. The black-robed person quickly bowed to the Desolate Sea Venerate, smiling amicably, "Brother Murong, after over ten years, your cultivation has further improved!"

"Oh?"

The Desolate Sea Venerate withdrew his imposing aura, squinted at the black-robed person, and said flatly, "Are you truly Brother Bai Chuan?"

The black-robed person sighed softly, with a bitter smile, he said, "Brother Murong, surely you can still recognize my 'Thousand Transforming Poison Hand', can't you?"

With that, the black-robed person raised his palm, which began to glow with a jade hue. The Desolate Sea Venerate's pupils contracted as he stared at the black-robed person, "Are you truly Luu Baichuan?"

"Indeed!"

The black-robed person nodded, looking dejected.

"Brother Bai Chuan, you were almost reaching the Seventh Level of the Human Emperor back then, and now?"

"Brother Murong, it's a long story. I was almost annihilated in my battle against Queen Huanxin back then. Being able to seize a body and be reborn was a great fortune."

Luu Baichuan sighed bitterly, continually lamenting.

"I see." The Desolate Sea Venerate sat down, tapping the tabletop with his fingers, and said calmly, "So, what brings you here, Brother Bai Chuan? Do you wish for me to help you settle that old score?"

"Seeking vengeance would not dare trouble you, Brother Murong. I come with important information that Brother Murong must know, lest you remain unaware."

"Oh?"

The Desolate Sea Venerate raised an eyebrow slightly, staring at Luu Baichuan, and asked deeply, "What is it?"

"Brother Murong, although you didn't personally oversee the Tianlan Sea Token competition, you should be familiar with the list of individuals who obtained Tokens this time." Luu Baichuan cautiously probed.

"Indeed, there were many promising individuals in this competition."

The Desolate Sea Venerate stroked his long beard and smiled softly.

"Yes, especially one fierce character called Long Fei!" Luu Baichuan clenched his fists, speaking through gritted teeth.

"Oh? Does Brother Bai Chuan know this person?"

"More than just know!"

Luu Baichuan grinned and said, "I believe Brother Murong's treasured granddaughter must be well acquainted with him too!"

"Hehe, I have heard a bit about this Long Fei. Zining originally wanted to recruit him, but he demanded in exchange that Zining marry him. Such arrogance needs a lesson, but I, at my status, am disinclined to stoop to his level."

"Brother Murong is quite magnanimous, but…"

Luu Baichuan paused deliberately, continuing slowly, "Brother Murong, this matter is best discussed in front of Lady Murong."

"Even after all these years, Brother Bai Chuan, your style remains meticulous as ever."

The Desolate Sea Venerate nodded, then instructed someone to bring Murong Zining.

Shortly, Murong Zining arrived, quickly bowing to the Desolate Sea Venerate before turning to Luu Baichuan and casually asking, "Who might this gentleman be?"

Murmur Zining furrowed her brows, suddenly recalling that this person seemed somewhat familiar.

"Lady Murong, we meet again!"

Luu Baichuan smiled at Murong Zining, his hoarse voice instantly jogging her memory.

Although Murong Zining did not participate in Queen Huanxin's assessment, she watched from afar, knowing this black-robed man was a body-seizing powerhouse.

"It's you!" Murong Zining's eyelids twitched slightly, puzzled as to why this person was in the Murong Family.

"Zining, show respect. By seniority, Brother Bai Chuan is of your grandfather's generation." The Desolate Sea Venerate gestured for Murong Zining to sit down before continuing, "Alright, Brother Bai Chuan, now that Zining is here, feel free to speak plainly."

"Haha, then I'll get straight to the point."

Luu Baichuan nodded, saying, "Lady Murong, do you still remember Ling Feng?"

"Ling Feng!"

At the mention of the name, Murong Zining's eyebrows instantly knit together tightly, saying with hatred, "Why does the senior bring him up? He and I have a feud as deep as the sea!"

On Tianhuan Island, Ling Feng almost cost her her dignity, not only making her lick his shoe but also making her undress in public!

Thinking of Ling Feng, Murong Zining felt an intense urge for revenge, wishing she could tear him to pieces.

Luu Baichuan picked up his tea cup, taking a leisurely sip before slowly stating, "Lady Murong, calm yourself. As far as I know, that Ling Feng has long infiltrated the Deserted City, and he's using the name Long Fei, having even secured a Tianlan Sea Token!"

"What? That's impossible!"

Murong Zining sprang up from her seat. The difference between Long Fei and Ling Feng is vast!
