"Sir, may I inquire what business you have with me?" Situ quietly asked as he stepped out of the hall.

Ling Feng replied lightly, "Situ, since I arrived at Blood Cry City, you've been a great help to me. I'm well aware of that. This time, as I'm heading to the Heavenly Battlefield, I have two arrangements for you."

"Firstly, I appoint you as Deputy City Lord, overseeing all affairs in Blood Cry City!" Ling Feng said solemnly.

Situ chuckled, "City Lord, you might as well just say the second one directly!"

"The second one is to take you along with me!" Ling Feng continued, "I know your strength is not weak, and this trip to the Heavenly Battlefield is also an opportunity for you."

Situ nodded, "Sir, you don't need to choose, I'll take the second one! I'm going with you to the Heavenly Battlefield."

"You should be more aware than I am of how terrifying the Heavenly Battlefield is!" Ling Feng stared at Situ and said, "Are you sure about this?"

Situ replied calmly, "Of course, being able to go to the Heavenly Battlefield is an honor for me! And to battle alongside the City Lord is even more so!"

Ling Feng gazed into Situ's eyes; they were bright and showed no signs of deceit.

"Alright, I understand!" Ling Feng patted Situ's shoulder and said, "Go and prepare, and join us shortly!"

In fact, Ling Feng had already decided that if Situ chose to stay in Blood Cry City, he would eliminate him before leaving!

To Ling Feng, Blood Cry City was a thorn in the Divine Cloud Continent. He couldn't possibly leave someone like Situ, whose background was unclear, in Blood Cry City.

But Situ's immediate choice of the second option made Ling Feng somewhat doubtful. What was Situ's true intention? Was his target not Blood Cry City, but rather himself?

Shaking his head, Ling Feng walked into the Bright Saintess's room and relayed Yan Feishuang's words to her.

"I think this is an opportunity!" Ling Feng said seriously, "Currently, all channels from the Divine Realm to the Angel World are closed. If we want to head to the Angel World, we must leverage the Heavenly Battlefield!"

"However, this time I can't openly take you with me, so I'll have to trouble you to stay in the Devil's Ring for a while!" Ling Feng said apologetically.

The Bright Saintess shook her head, "That's nothing! But the Heavenly Battlefield is fraught with dangers; are you confident?"

Ling Feng smiled, "With the help of the Mo Yu Sword, no expert below the Sea of Gods Realm can harm me! Rest assured."

Subsequently, Ling Feng bid farewell to Sister Zi Yue and Jilan Jiete, and then proceeded to the front hall.

"Let's go, I'm all set!" Ling Feng said with a smile, "We shouldn't keep Lord Yan waiting!"

Yan Feishuang laughed heartily, "What's a little time? However, once we enter the Divine Realm, our titles as city lords will be meaningless. I might be presumptuous, but just call me Brother Yan!"

Ling Feng smiled, "Brother Yan, let's go then!"

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Yan Feishuang whistled, and a call echoed from the sky, revealing a gigantic bird silhouette to everyone.

"This is Yun Peng from Lingyu City. Its speed is fast, and it will shorten our travel time to the Military Residence!" Yan Feishuang said with a smile.

Ling Feng looked at Situ, "Let's go, let's experience Yun Peng's speed ourselves!"

Yan Feishuang was correct; Yun Peng's speed was indeed rapid. Its full-speed flight was nothing short of lightning fast, but sitting on Yun Peng's back, Ling Feng and the others didn't feel any resistance, which should be one of Yun Peng's abilities too.

"I didn't expect, Younger Brother Ling, that you even brought your top general with you, which means you have high hopes for him!" Yan Feishuang said, glancing at Situ, who was sitting silently beside him.

Ling Feng smiled subtly and countered, "Brother Yan, haven't you noticed the peculiarity of this subordinate of mine?"

Yan Feishuang paused, then scanned Situ with his Divine Sense.

Originally sitting quietly in meditation, Situ's body shook as he felt a powerful Divine Sense sweep over him. Instinctively, he began to counter it with his mental method.

However, as if realizing something, he quickly ceased the mental method and looked up at Yan Feishuang, showing a trace of helplessness on his face.

"Haha, I'm just bored, I won't disturb your cultivation!" Yan Feishuang waved his hand, then looked at Ling Feng with a peculiar expression, "Younger Brother Ling, not only do you have many secrets, but even your top general has quite a few. It's truly surprising!"

Ling Feng was secretly shocked; it seemed Yan Feishuang had sensed something, but it wasn't appropriate to ask directly now, so he simply smiled.

"However..." Yan Feishuang transmitted his voice to Ling Feng at that moment, "Younger Brother Ling, your subordinate has a very powerful soul within him. I think you should be cautious. The strength of this soul... should be in the Azure Sky Realm, only injured now, dropping to the Sea of Gods Realm!"

Ling Feng was greatly shocked. Did Situ harbor another powerful soul within him, a soul transfer or a rebirth? Could Situ be some sort of protagonist with a mentor spirit?

But after experiencing so much, Ling Feng's mental state was incredibly strong. He was only momentarily dazed before returning to normal, "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Yan, I will keep it in mind!"

Yan Feishuang chuckled lightly, "As long as you're aware."

Saying this, Yan Feishuang sat aside and closed his eyes to meditate. Ling Feng glanced at Situ quietly and also closed his eyes.

"If what Yan Feishuang said is true, then... is there really another soul within Situ? What's his target? Could it be me?" Ling Feng recalled the word 'soul transfer,' and a sense of vigilance arose in his heart.

Meanwhile, on Situ's side, although his expression remained unchanged, his heart was filled with apprehension because the voice in his mind was already dissatisfied, "You actually took the initiative to use that mental method just now. What if it exposed my existence?"

"Senior, there should be no problem, right?" Situ asked cautiously, "I stopped the mental method immediately, I think Yan Feishuang shouldn't have detected your presence, right?"

"Let's hope so, otherwise... if you ruin my plans, I certainly won't spare you!" the voice said coldly.

Situ was extremely frightened within.

"Hmph, you should be aware, I can both nurture and destroy you. If you ruin my plans, don't blame me for showing no mercy!" the voice said indifferently, "Originally, I intended to possess Liu Wuyun, but unexpectedly, after Liu Wuyun died, a better possession body appeared, truly heaven's help!"

"To be safe, I'll seal myself temporarily and reappear when you arrive at the Heavenly Battlefield, hopefully, you can last until then."
