At the end, Qi Shanhe decided to join the White Star Organization, after all, there’s an old saying to consider, and Ling Feng had no reason to deceive him.

However, before that, he must restrain his urge for revenge, otherwise, not even Ling Feng could save him.

After settling Qi Shanhe, Ling Feng immediately had to prepare for the evening banquet.

Although the three parties were currently in a cooperative relationship, there had been certain frictions among them, and inevitably, there were some difficulties during the cooperation. Besides, each of them would definitely have their own thoughts, this was beyond doubt.

Soon it was nighttime, and Ling Feng, under the guidance of a servant, arrived at the so-called welcoming feast.

This welcoming feast was quite lavish, with hundreds of delicious dishes being presented one after another, the air was filled with the fragrance of fine wine.

But Ling Feng felt somewhat awkward seeing a familiar figure at the banquet, Ximen Shuang!

"Why is Ximen Shuang here too?" Ling Feng looked at Ximen Shuang who was arranged to sit beside him, and frowned slightly without leaving a trace.

The affection Ximen Shuang held for him was something Ling Feng was very aware of, but he had never accepted her feelings. Now meeting her again, calling it a coincidence, probably no one would believe it!

Ling Feng glanced at the host of the banquet, Ximen Tian. That old fellow had a smiling face as if none of this had anything to do with him, but Ling Feng could determine that this was absolutely arranged by him.

"Did he forget how indifferent he was towards me back then?" Ling Feng thought with a hint of mischief.

"Ling Feng!" Ximen Shuang looked at Ling Feng, biting her lip, a mist seemed to appear in her eyes.

When she heard from her grandfather that she was to receive Ling Feng, she felt both happy and worried, unsure what expression to face him with. She even once wanted to completely expel Ling Feng from her mind.

But upon seeing Ling Feng again, her mind went blank, she could only stare at him dazedly, with scenes of him saving her repeatedly flashing in her mind.

"Ahem!" Ximen Tian coughed and said, "Sect Master Ling, you saved Shuang’er back then, I never properly thanked you, so I’m taking this opportunity to express my gratitude, hoping our two families can unite hearts and advance together!"

Ling Feng smiled, "Ximen clan leader, you’re joking, regarding Miss Shuang’er’s matter, you’ve given me enough compensation, I am not a greedy person."

Sect Master of Storm Sect laughed upon seeing this, "Let’s not talk about the past, we must look forward, right? It’s to confront Heaven’s Gate that our three families have the chance to stand together today, which is fate!"

Ximen Tian glanced at the Sect Master of Storm Sect discontentedly, this guy clearly didn’t want him to get close to Ling Feng.

The Sect Master of Storm Sect also looked at Ximen Tian, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

After sitting down, Ling Feng said, "Sect Master of Storm Sect is correct, our most important task is to discuss how to deal with Heaven’s Gate, do you two elders have any ideas?"

Speaking, Ling Feng glanced at Ximen Shuang, seeing her dazed gaze, he couldn’t help but sigh, "Miss Ximen Shuang, long time no see!"

Ximen Shuang took a deep breath, controlled her expression, and then smiled as well, "Big Brother Feng, long time no see."

Seeing Ling Feng again stirred countless ripples in her heart, but she tried her best to remain restrained and calm on the surface. After all, she had been rejected once, she didn’t want to lose the last bit of her dignity.

Ling Feng nodded, then looked towards the Sect Master of Storm Sect, "Sect Master, what is the current situation?"

"Our situation is terrible!" The Sect Master of Storm Sect said, "Heaven’s Gate seems to have gone mad, now crazily attacking our various branches, small conflicts have occurred over a hundred times already. This is drastically different from Heaven’s Gate’s previous attitude, making it very strange to us."

"Indeed, and the Master of Heaven’s Gate has appeared too, his strength has... become strange!" Ximen Tian also said, "In short, we are currently in a passive defense state, with the site of Heaven’s Gate destroyed, they’re like locusts passing through, leaving nothing behind."

Ling Feng gently knocked on the table and said gravely, "Regarding the Master of Heaven’s Gate, I do have some information to share with you, the reason his strength has improved so quickly is because he possesses a powerful... Divine Artifact!"

Thinking for a moment, Ling Feng still chose not to reveal the matter about the Chaos Supreme Treasure.

"Divine Artifact?" Ximen Tian and the Sect Master of Storm Sect exchanged a look.

Ling Feng exhaled and said, "Yes, a Divine Artifact that can devour other beings to increase strength, at this rate, if the Master of Heaven’s Gate continues to indulge in devouring, his strength will reach the realm of half-step immortality."

Ximen Tian and the Sect Master of Storm Sect couldn’t help but take a gasp, a half-step immortal, that’s practically comparable to an undying existence, if Heaven’s Gate’s master truly reaches that point, who in the Ancient Ruins could possibly kill him?

"Is the situation really that severe?" Ximen Tian couldn’t help but ask.

Ling Feng nodded, "Yes, so our time is running short, we must slay him before the Master of Heaven’s Gate reaches his peak, but as far as I know, the Divine Artifact is immensely powerful and very sturdy, ordinary Divine Artifacts can’t even damage it. Do you two have any methods to destroy that Divine Artifact?"

After thinking for a while, Ximen Tian said, "To destroy a Peak Divine Artifact is no simple matter, only artifacts of equivalent level can cause harm to it!"

"In other words, only a Peak Divine Artifact can possibly destroy that Divine Artifact!" Ximen Tian said, "Of course, there is another way, which is to use the power of heaven and earth to annihilate the Artifact Spirit, once the Artifact Spirit is annihilated, the Divinity of the Divine Artifact would naturally vanish."

Eliminate the Artifact Spirit? Ling Feng’s eyes brightened, why didn’t he think of this earlier?

Back then, Ling Feng only thought about how to destroy the Tooth of Greed, but he forgot, his enemy was just Mad Doctor, if he could eliminate Mad Doctor, wouldn’t that solve it?

"Don’t even think about it!" At this moment, the voice of the Tower Spirit Prophet echoed in Ling Feng’s mind, "The Tooth of Greed is a Chaos Supreme Treasure, do you intend to annihilate the Artifact Spirit of the Tooth of Greed, which you refer to as Mad Doctor?"

Ling Feng said in his mind, "Why? Isn’t it possible?"

The Tower Spirit Prophet said indifferently, "Your idea is correct, but I forgot to tell you, the Artifact Spirit of a Chaos Supreme Treasure cannot be annihilated independently, only by destroying the Chaos Supreme Treasure can the Artifact Spirit be annihilated. So if you want to kill Mad Doctor, you must destroy the Tooth of Greed!"
