Chapter 2360 - 2359: The Arrival of the Dragon Clan
Morning came on the second day.
Spring Water Hall, representing the official stance of Xuantian City, released an announcement.
The message of immediate food distribution instantly set the entire city ablaze.
With just the few thousand people from Spring Water Hall, it wasn’t enough, so they recruited a group of volunteers to help, establishing over a hundred distribution points in the slums of the lower levels.
Soon, the entire city knew who provided the food, and everyone who received it remembered the name Ling Feng.
For a time, in Xuantian City, Ling Feng became a deity in the hearts of those impoverished people.
Meanwhile, in Ling Feng’s mind, his plan was divided into three steps.
The first step was to use three days to restore the physical condition of the young and strong.
The second step was recruitment, to include able-bodied youth from the poor into the Ling Family’s army, giving them time to train.
As for the third step, it was to wait until Spring Water Hall was fully strengthened, and then conduct a cleansing of the entire Xuantian City to completely eliminate all supporters of the Dragon Clan.
Of course, these tasks didn’t require his personal involvement; now Ling Feng only needed to issue commands.
Another day passed, and everything proceeded steadily.
But by dusk, many in Xuantian City noticed a patch of fiery red clouds appearing on the southwestern horizon.
Many people noticed the cloud at first glance and immediately sensed something amiss!
Although it was evening, that wasn’t the direction where the sun was setting!
A cloud with such color was certainly unusual.
Many noticed it, and Ling Feng was also immediately informed, so he stood at the top level of Xuantian City.
At that moment, beside him, were not only Mu Mu and Xiao Xiao but also Long Xiaoyu, Ling Yao, and others.
The strongest ones were nearly all present.
Watching as the cloud approached Xuantian City, Long Xiaoyu said, "Why don’t we all hide first? It’s obvious that the Dragon Clan is coming!"
"The situation is still unclear; it’s better to see what happens!" Ling Yao said.
Ling Feng thought for a moment, "Alright, let’s go inside, and have Little Yu check what they’re up to."
Initially prepared for a direct confrontation, after everyone’s reminders, Ling Feng decided to wait.
So quickly, everyone returned to the City Lord’s mansion and found rooms to hide in.
Unfortunately, Ling Feng’s Divine Sense hadn’t recovered, so he couldn’t see the outside situation. He could only wait for Long Xiaoyu’s signal, or for her to return to inform everyone.
They waited for a long time, nearly an hour, until footsteps reached their ears.
Upon opening the door, they saw that the returning person was Long Xiaoyu.
Seeing her relaxed expression, Ling Feng quickly asked, "What’s the situation?"
"They didn’t notice anything amiss in Xuantian City. I used the excuse that the Dragon Clan of the Ninth Layer went hunting in the mountains to cover it up!" Long Xiaoyu said.
Ling Feng was taken aback and asked in astonishment, "Is that even possible?"
"Yes, they believed it!"
Long Xiaoyu nodded and continued, "The Dragon Clan came over this time primarily to deliver a message to me!"
"What message?" Ling Feng quickly asked.
"The Dragon Clan has been investigating the affairs of Liehuo Town and now they’ve obtained a clear lead, knowing that you’re hiding in the Dark Forest," Long Xiaoyu said.
"Oh?"
Ling Feng frowned upon hearing this and immediately said, "So, they’re planning to start looking for us in the Dark Forest?"
"Precisely!"
Long Xiaoyu nodded, "The Dragon Clan told me they’re planning action in the Dark Forest and hope we won’t act rashly or panic."
"Is that all?"
Ling Feng was a bit puzzled and quickly asked.
Long Xiaoyu nodded, "That’s basically it, and they also revealed to me that the Dragon Clan has detected a foreign race entering this world, so they suspect that the leader of the Ling Family Village, which is you, is an intruder from another world!"
After a pause, she continued, "Now the Dragon Clan has started searching for more intruders from other worlds across the Xuanling Realm."
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng’s brow furrowed slightly, "In that case, no matter how any superpower users from Earth try to cozy up to them, it won’t work?"
"The Dragon Clan is highly xenophobic; they wouldn’t trust foreigners. This is also why the rulers of various cities remain isolated from ordinary people!" Long Xiaoyu said.
"Alright, I understand."
Ling Feng nodded and then said, "Since they’re heading for the Dark Forest, let’s leave it at that. As long as they’re not here to attack Xuantian City, it gives us time to develop!"
Mu Mu said at this moment, "But what about the Dark Clan in the Dark Forest?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng thought for a second, "How about I notify them to either retreat deeper into the Dark Forest immediately or come with me to Xuantian City? We can’t let them suffer innocently!"
"Let me go instead; you have so many things to manage here." Mu Mu said.
Ling Feng thought for a moment, "You can go, but be very careful. And if they want to come, use this to bring them over."
Saying this, he handed a Space Bracelet to Mu Mu.
Not expecting this, Mu Mu was overjoyed, and after taking it, she quickly nodded, "Alright, I’ll make sure to take care!"
"I’ll go with you; it’s safer with two people!" Xiao Xiao chimed in.
"Okay."
Mu Mu didn’t object.
Then the two left Xuantian City together, heading towards the Dark Forest.
Ling Feng didn’t know how long it would take for Xuantian City’s matters to be exposed, but it was best if they could hold on for a month.
This way, not only could he have ample time to counterattack, but Xuantian City would also avoid the ravages of war.
With nothing pressing for now, Ling Feng left the top floor and went to Mu Wan’er’s house on the second layer.
Now Shui Ying’s injuries have completely healed, and after recuperation, she can walk normally, just like an ordinary person.
Of course, both mother and daughter now saw Ling Feng as a lifesaver and were very respectful to him.
So when Ling Feng arrived, Shui Ying immediately instructed the servants to prepare food to entertain him.
As for Mu Wan’er, she shyly lowered her head, not daring to meet Ling Feng’s eyes, but her expression of joy was unmistakable.
After sitting down, Ling Feng smiled and said, "I came by to see if you would like to move up to the Ninth Layer soon; there will be a large influx of impoverished people from the lower levels, and it might get a bit noisy here."
"Shui Lan mentioned this to me, and I don’t have any objections," Shui Ying said.
Then she pursed her lips and said to Ling Feng, "Wan’er is still young, I don’t know if she might have the chance to become a part of the Ling Family’s army?"
