The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO-Chapter 1736 - 1734: Probing

"Has the new guy made any moves?" Lord Rimian asked indifferently within another palace.

"Reporting to my lord!" A phantom shadow appeared in front of Lord Rimian: "That newcomer named Diga first went to the Trading Bazaar, bought three intermediate magical artifact longswords at Sword Pavilion No. 3, and then..."

If Ling Feng were present, he would be shocked because everything that happened from the time he left the room was thoroughly monitored, without missing a single detail.

"Lord Rimian, as per your instructions, I put the trading bazaar’s guards against Diga in a difficult position. Unexpectedly, he attacked our men without hesitation and even claimed he was one of Lord Yueqiu’s people!"

After listening to this account, Rimian raised his eyebrows. He initially intended to use the bazaar’s guards to test Ling Feng, but hadn’t expected Ling Feng to be so volatile.

"Am I overthinking? If this Diga is from the Dragon Clan, he should be more cautious; he shouldn’t be so impulsive!" Rimian mused to himself, touching his chin.

"My lord, what should we do now?" the shadow said gravely, "Should we continue testing Diga?"

Rimian shook his head and said, "For now, let’s halt the testing. Since he publicly declared he’s one of Yueqiu’s, let Yueqiu do the probing! By the way, is there any movement from the Dragon Clan now?"

"There’s no movement from the Dragon Clan for now, but according to reliable sources, they’re preparing to attack us. They’re sharpening their knives internally now."

"Finally, it’s time!" A gleam flashed through Rimian’s eyes: "Those filthy Dragon Clan members have been hiding at Thousand Dragons Mountain. This time, if they leave the mountain, I must wipe them out completely!"

...

After causing a scene at the Trading Bazaar, Ling Feng stayed obediently in his room. He believed it wouldn’t be long before Lord Yueqiu would seek him out.

Just as Ling Feng expected, Yueqiu summoned him as soon as he returned.

"Diga, you’re really restless, causing trouble at the Bazaar so quickly?" Yueqiu stared at Ling Feng and said sternly, "Do you know what the Bazaar really is?"

Ling Feng shook his head, "I don’t know, but I know that if someone wants to trap me, we from the M78 Nebula won’t back down! Even if jade and stone are burned, we won’t retreat!"

"Interesting!" Yueqiu looked at Ling Feng. "The Bazaar belongs to Lord Rimian, and like me, he’s one of the three commanders of the City of Obliteration!"

"Don’t worry, Lord Yueqiu, we’re justified, why be afraid!" Ling Feng said indifferently, "Moreover, I’ve already contacted my kin through secret technique. In less than two months, they’ll meet up with me, and I’ll show Lord Yueqiu the power of our M78 Nebula!"

Yueqiu glanced at the confident Ling Feng, slightly uncertain about whether what he said was true.

"Alright, since you claim to be one of my people, I’ll stand up for you against Lord Rimian, no need to worry!" Lord Yueqiu said, "But you’ve caused too much of a scene at the Bazaar, you need some punishment. How about I assign you to the Shadow Department to monitor the surroundings of the City of Obliteration and investigate the Dragon Clan’s movements?"

Ling Feng nodded, "I’ll follow Lord Yueqiu’s arrangements."

...

"All set?" Lord Rimian asked, looking at Yueqiu in his palace: "I’ve already sent people to investigate whether the M78 Nebula exists, but it’ll take some time to get results!"

Yueqiu shook her head, "It’s unnecessary, the world’s vast with countless planes, some we’ve never heard of. As long as we ensure Diga’s not from the Dragon Clan, we can judge his claims as true."

"A mere Mid Sky Realm cultivator warrants such grand testing. Sometimes I just want to kill him outright, avoiding all this hassle," Rimian said lazily.

"Luckily, Xingyin isn’t like you; otherwise, how could we stand firm in the Dragon Realm?" Yueqiu retorted irritably, "Not to mention Diga might have a massive force behind him, even alone he’s strong and worth our favor. Besides, compared to the Dragon Clan, we’re at a disadvantage."

"Just follow your plan then!" Rimian shrugged, "Anyway, I can’t be bothered with this. My strength is in combat, yours in strategy, and Xingyin’s in assassination. Working together, we can surely achieve our sweeping plan."

"Once the Dragon-Eating Beast awakens, we can break barriers, returning to the Dragon Domain!" Rimian’s eyes gleamed with excitement, "According to records, the Dragon Domain conceals a great secret of our ancestors. Unlocking it will restore our race’s glory!"

Yueqiu’s eyes sparkled with excitement too, "Indeed, the Dragon Clan expelled our ancestors, now it’s our time to collect debts!"

Meanwhile, Ling Feng had arrived at the Shadow Department.

"You’re the newcomer who caused a stir at the Bazaar? Already a Mid Sky Realm cultivator, impressive!" Ling Feng was surrounded by several people upon arriving at the Shadow Department.

"Are you from the Shadow Department too?" Ling Feng eyed the three people standing before him and asked.

The man in the middle chuckled, "I’m the Shadow Department captain, codenamed Shadow Strike, these are Ying Zhan and Ying Fen, welcome, newcomer!"

With that, Shadow Strike extended his hand.

Ling Feng hesitated, then shook Shadow Strike’s hand, "I’m Diga, pleased to meet you all..."

Before Ling Feng finished speaking, Shadow Strike suddenly wrapped his arm around Ling Feng, pulling his body closely, locking Ling Feng’s limbs.

At the same time, Ying Zhan and Ying Fen quickly moved to restrain Ling Feng.

"You..." Ling Feng felt a blade pressing against his temple, his face showing a hint of anger.

"Haha, brother, don’t be mad!" Just then, Shadow Strike released Ling Feng, and Ying Zhan and Ying Fen also withdrew, making Ling Feng quite puzzled. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"As members of the Shadow Department, we must stay alert at all times, even in safe places, can’t be careless!" Shadow Strike laughed heartily, "Today, consider it our welcome gift. If you’re on the battlefield, you’d be dead for sure!"

Ling Feng nodded, acknowledging their strong skills, though he was confident in defeating them one-on-one, their seamless coordination surprised him, leaving him nearly defenseless.

"Seems we can’t underestimate these Plane Wanderers!" Ling Feng mused internally.
