Having surveyed the entire building, Ling Zhenfei was extremely pleased, for it confirmed just how powerful his Soul Passage ability truly was.

The progress of his soul's strength was incredibly swift, he had only advanced a small step from Qi Cultivation to Mingmu, but the change in his Divine Sense was immense.

Originally, his Divine Sense could only cover an area of twenty to thirty meters around him, but now Ling Zhenfei's Divine Sense could envelop an entire building, a terrifying feat indeed.

Ling Zhenfei could not imagine facing an opponent with such overwhelming Soul Force, for if someone possessed such might, they would undoubtedly be his nightmare.

To continue consolidating the two newly-promoted realms, he had used Soul Passage to traverse the entire building, which had significantly depleted the Northern Spiritual Energy.

It was merely excitement from the recent achievement, he advised himself that, barring important matters, he should refrain from such actions; Northern Spiritual Energy must not be wasted so recklessly.

He cultivated nonstop until the following day's noon when suddenly, Ling Zhenfei felt his phone ring; flipping it open, he saw it was from an unfamiliar number.

"Li Hao, who's this?" Ling Zhenfei answered the call.

A cold female voice transmitted from the other end of the phone, "Li Hao, Dragon King, I am Phoenix."

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei was taken aback. He had heard Guo Qing'an talk about the code names Dragon King and Phoenix; his code name within the organization was Dragon King, and the person who was tasked with the mission alongside him was called Phoenix.

As he had guessed, Phoenix indeed turned out to be a woman.

"So it's you. What's the matter? The mission is over, you can take a break and go back," Ling Zhenfei responded with a slight annoyance towards Phoenix. It had been such a long time since they started the mission, and this was the first time Phoenix made an appearance; it was hard to overlook.

"The mission is far from over, in fact, it's just begun. The organization tasked me with uncovering Wu Yingxiong's intentions, and once that was clear, they gave me a second mission to thwart Wu Yingxiong's plan," she clarified.

Ling Zhenfei was puzzled, "What do you mean? Are we two supposed to stop Wu Yingxiong? He has an army, after all."

"What, are you scared?" chuckled Phoenix over the phone.

"I'm not scared, I'm worried their weapons might not be advanced enough. But isn't this something the state should deal with?" he questioned.

Phoenix laughed, "If we need to trouble the nation over such a small fry, then what's the use of us?"

"Alright, you're right. So tell me, what should I do?" he conceded.

To Ling Zhenfei, it actually made no difference, even if Wu Yingxiong indeed had an army. After all, their firearms wouldn't afflict him much.

"Meet me at the intersection at the Financial Center at midnight. I've got a handle on Wu Yingxiong's stronghold. We'll give them a surprise tonight and finish it in one fell swoop," she instructed.

Ling Zhenfei hesitated, "Just the two of us?"

Phoenix scoffed, "See, I told you, you're scared."

"I'm worried about you, not myself. Anyway, I'm not scared, but I don't want you to get hurt," Ling Zhenfei retorted, clearly irritated by a woman's mockery.

"Don't worry, even if you die, I won't. See you tonight," said Phoenix, abruptly ending the call and denying Ling Zhenfei the chance to say goodbye.

Ling Zhenfei smiled faintly, "Truly an interesting person."

Considering the night attack on Wu Yingxiong's stronghold, although he was not afraid, Ling Zhenfei could not believe that just ordinary people could manage to pull off something so grand. There must undoubtedly be other cultivators inside.

You've done well with that Phoenix, actually figuring out where Wu Yingxiong's den is located—it's not easy.

After saying hello to Han Lian and chatting with her for a while, Ling Zhenfei continued his cultivation until nightfall. It was only then that he stopped and walked out of the hospital entrance.

He randomly chose a car at the entrance, his Divine Sense covered the vehicle, and the door opened. Ling Zhenfei got in.

With a thought, the car started and Ling Zhenfei drove towards the intersection at the Financial Center.

Arriving early at the intersection of the Financial Center, before the appointed time, Ling Zhenfei stopped the car and leaned against the door to smoke.

The Financial Center is one of the more bustling areas of the city, with the people who frequent it being the handsome men, beautiful women, business elites, and high society of the city.

After smoking a cigarette, Ling Zhenfei watched several groups of people pass by, both men and women. The women were all dressed very fashionably and looked stunning.

Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but marvel inwardly. It was indeed a nice place. Although the weather was getting cooler, their attire was still so fiery hot. Didn't they feel cold?

Ling Zhenfei was very surprised. Although it wasn't the coldest weather in the Northeast yet, seeing girls in ultra-short skirts made him quite astounded.

At this moment, a group of people came walking from a distance, men and women mixed together. It seemed that the men had drunk quite a bit, their loud voices heard all along the way.

Among these men were a few girls dressed very fashionably and revealingly. One of them caused Ling Zhenfei to take a second glance.

This girl was about in her early twenties with a tall figure and burgundy hair draped over her shoulders, her facial features delicate and perfect.

She was accompanied by a group of men, one of whom was wearing a black fur coat. He appeared to be a nouveau riche or a rich second generation.

This guy talked to the girl as he walked, looking very flattering, but the girl kept walking forward, seemingly uninterested in dealing with these men.

The people around were somewhat curious, not sure if these men and the girl were acquainted. They seemed very intimate, yet not very familiar with each other.

The girl was indeed very beautiful, and her dress and style were exactly what Ling Zhenfei favored. So as she passed in front of Ling Zhenfei, he couldn't help but take another look at her.

"Hey, kid, what are you looking at?"

One of the guys next to the girl saw Ling Zhenfei's gaze and immediately became displeased, shouting at him.

Ling Zhenfei was startled, having not expected to be yelled at just for looking at the girl twice. It really was a bit too domineering.

"It's nothing, I was just admiring the beauty."

As soon as Ling Zhenfei said this, those few guys immediately surrounded him, trapping him in the middle.

The girl stood in place, glanced at Ling Zhenfei but did not speak, and even her face showed no expression.

"Kid, do you think you can just look at a beauty however you want?" the guy in the fur coat shouted angrily at Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback. These people were a bit too arrogant. Was it a mistake to look at a beautiful woman?

Ling Zhenfei glanced at the girl and said, "If nobody looked at her, this lady would surely be very sad."

Upon hearing this, the guys were taken aback and their faces filled with anger. "Damn it, do you know who this girl is? You dare to look at her carelessly, be careful I don't gouge out your eyes."
