The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1661 - 1666: Visitors from the Barren Lands

"No, no, wife, let me explain, things aren’t what you think. I only ate that because it tasted good, not for any other reason." Lin Fei started to explain, but it seemed to have no effect, as the other women simply didn’t believe him.

Lin Fei was speechless, not expecting Zhang Fan’s one comment to ruin his reputation. At that moment, Lin Fei really hated him, but there was nothing to be done. Once said, even if he tried to take it back, no one would believe him.

"Alright, alright, I believe you. But Lin Fei, aren’t you going to introduce this friend of yours?" Mu Shanshan asked. In front of others, she wouldn’t call Lin Fei "husband" except on special occasions. After all, when Mu Shanshan was happy or excited, she would still call Lin Fei "husband" proactively.

Lin Fei laughed, realizing Mu Shanshan was saying this on purpose with no other meaning, just wanting to tease her. He gestured at Zhang Fan to come over.

Zhang Fan walked over, looking at the group, and then Lin Fei introduced him: "His name is Zhang Fan, from the Upper Realm. But you all should be cautious around him, don’t be fooled by his appearance."

"Lin Fei, that’s too much. Is that how you introduce someone? How does Zhang Fan have a deceptive appearance? I think you’re just jealous of me, right?"

Lin Fei was startled, "Jealous of you? What’s there about you for me to be jealous of?"

"Who knows, maybe you are jealous of me; otherwise, why would you say that?" Zhang Fan replied cleverly, not dwelling on it, but his words made many people think Lin Fei was indeed jealous.

At this point, Xia Xue came over to Lin Fei’s side, teasing him, "Husband, don’t be insecure. We won’t abandon you."

Lin Fei was speechless. He called out to Lin Xi in the distance, "Lin Xi, come here."

Lin Xi trotted over, and Lin Fei hugged her. Looking at her, he asked, "Lin Xi, tell me, is Daddy handsome?"

Lin Xi bit her lip, fell into silence, and after a careful thought, said, "Daddy, don’t be insecure, you are the most handsome."

Lin Fei was speechless, feeling as if he was being comforted.

Just as Lin Fei was about to tell Lin Xi he was indeed very handsome, suddenly his phone rang—it was a call from Leng Daoqiu.

Lin Fei answered the call directly, hearing the Mandarin from Leng Daoqiu’s end, which made Lin Fei feel a bit tricky. He looked at Zhang Fan and said, "Come with me, let me see if your power can help me now."

Zhang Fan smirked; he already understood in his heart that it might be the time for people from the Upper Realm to come again.

Rewind to a day before.

In the Upper Realm, within the Divine Desolate Hall, Huang Xiaotian frowned. He knew there was a Divine Artifact in the Lower Realm, but he didn’t know how to handle it. Now that the people from Qianhuang Peak were aware, if he continued with such actions, it’s likely the people from Qianhuang Peak wouldn’t agree and might even annihilate Divine Desolate Hall.

Huang Xiaotian was not willing to do such dangerous things.

An elderly man beside him asked, "Hall Master, is there something troubling you?"

"Ah! I just don’t know what to do. You should know about the Divine Artifact in the Lower Realm, we can’t just look at the pie and not eat it, right?" Huang Xiaotian said.

Upon hearing Huang Xiaotian’s words, the old man understood his concern and said, "Hall Master, don’t forget, we in Divine Desolate Hall can’t make a move, but besides us, there are many other powers. Can’t we take advantage of that?"

This statement from the old man was like an awakening for Huang Xiaotian, who immediately decided to secretly contact other powers in the Upper Realm, eventually settling on one person, Lang Zhanfeng.

"Desolate Earth Sect is considered one of the strongest forces near Divine Desolate Hall, right? But can he be trusted?" Huang Xiaotian asked the old man in the hall.

"Reporting to the Hall Master, in my view, he is a very ambitious person, and the more ambitious they are, the easier they are to control, and they won’t rebel easily."

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Huang Xiaotian nodded, "Then tell him, he is allowed to travel between the realms within Desolate Ground’s territory."

"Understood..."

Huang Xiaotian had decided; as long as Desolate Earth Sect obtained the Divine Artifact, it would also be his. But Huang Xiaotian made clear he couldn’t be betrayed by this guy, so instead of appearing himself, he sent a subordinate to inform Lang Zhanfeng.

Upon learning the news, Lang Zhanfeng immediately convened a meeting, and after a discussion among the Desolate Earth Sect’s high-level personnel, decided to mobilize all their forces to the Lower Realm to begin their journey.

However, this plan was directly thwarted due to Huang Xiaotian sending people again, telling them not to act with great fanfare, otherwise, it would surely draw the attention of Qianhuang Peak. Thus, everyone stopped speaking out but focused on cultivating to prepare for traveling to the Lower Realm to seek the Divine Artifact.

Finally, the Array activated. More than ten elite Disciples from Desolate Earth Sect headed to the Lower Realm. Upon arrival, they felt like fish leaping through the dragon’s gate, experiencing something extraordinary, followed by an overwhelming pressure that shocked them.

"So this is the suppressive force of the Lower Realm. Amazing, I can hardly use my power," one of them said.

"But we must be careful. I’ve heard there’s a formidable person here who quickly eliminates Upper Realm people and is very harsh, often killing people," another warned.

"Xiaoshuang, you’re too cautious. How could there be such a powerful person in this world? Don’t try to fool me, I don’t believe it," yet another retorted.

However, as soon as he said that, a dark streak rushed toward them, quickly appearing in front of everyone, glaring coldly.

The more than ten people looked at Lin Fei and another man beside him, sensing the aura of the Upper Realm from that man, who must have been from the Upper Realm.

And that person was naturally Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan had come along and, upon seeing these people, said, "They are from the Desolate Ground, and other than Divine Desolate Hall, there are other factions here. Desolate Earth Sect is quite a strong Sect among them, but they came to deliver meals for you, right?"

Zhang Fan, having witnessed Lin Fei’s power, knew if they weren’t prepared, these people were doomed to die today.

But unfortunately, it seemed they weren’t ready at all, so the outcome awaiting them, apart from death, was none.
