The person he had saved was actually the fiancee of his enemy!

Gu Feng's face revealed a wry smile.

However, he didn't have the habit of venting his anger at others, nor did he regret saving Qin Ling.

After calming his chaotic emotions, his tone was surprisingly calm. "I heard that Miss Qin has been accepted by the Battle Soul Academy and is about to set off for the capital. Why have you come alone to this place with Floating Cloud City?"

Qin Ling was stunned for a moment.

The number of people who knew that she had passed the Battle Soul Academy Assessment could probably be counted on one hand, so how did this young man in front of her know about it?

Could it be that he was a child of a Wealthy Class who was close to City Lord's Mansion within the Floating Cloud City?

But how come he had never heard of such a person?

Even though she was suspicious in her heart, Qin Ling did not deny it and said: "We're about to leave the Floating Cloud City. After parting ways, I don't know when we'll be able to return, so I want to look around and take a good look at this hometown."

She spoke very easily, but her expression was clearly much more lonely.

The real reason why she left the city alone was because she unexpectedly found out that her wedding date with Chu Zhen was going to be advanced!

Qin Ling had always rejected the idea of marriage between her and Chu Zhen. Although this Chu Family Young Master had a good reputation in the circle of Floating Cloud City nobles and had never heard of anything that went beyond the rules, for some reason, she felt that this dignified Chu Zhen was not her good husband.

He had originally thought that after passing the Battle Soul Academy's innate talent test, he could make an excuse to study in the capital and drag the matter of the two's marriage for five or eight years. Maybe if Chu Family lost its patience, he could cancel the marriage on his own accord.

Even her father, Qin Zhan, had acquiesced to her plans.

Unexpectedly, at noon today, his father suddenly told him that the 'Gu Feng' who passed the innate talent test with her and was accepted into Battle Soul Academy was actually a fake name filled in during the test by Chu Zhen. Which meant that Chu Zhen also had a Natural Spiritual Root and was going to study cultivation with her in the capital's Battle Soul Academy.

Furthermore, her father did not ask for her permission, and had agreed to the Chu Clan's proposal. Before the two of them went to Battle Soul Academy, he would marry and set the date for their marriage ten days later!

Seeing that there was no hope for her to save him, Qin Ling's mood turned sour. Without telling anyone, she rode the Black Iron Winged Hawk from the city's defense camp and left the city alone.

He only thought that it would be better to get as far away from the Floating Cloud City as possible, but he didn't notice that the Iron Winged Black Hawk had already gone deep into the Wasteland for a hundred miles. When he was resting in a mountain surrounded by strange rocks, a group of gray little apes appeared out of nowhere and heavily injured the Iron Winged Black Hawk.

On the way back to the Floating Cloud City, he accidentally bumped into the Yin Sha Corpse Transformation, and wanted to kill it.

Gu Feng didn't have the talent to see through other people's thoughts, but he could also see some clues from Qin Ling's expression.

His heart skipped a beat and he was just about to check out the situation in the Chu residence when a gust of cold wind blew through the cracks in the huge rock and the sound of wailing could be heard.

Gu Feng frowned and looked towards Qin Ling. Seeing her surprised face, he confirmed that he didn't hear wrongly.

"Why would there be people crying in the middle of the night in this barren wilderness?"

Qin Ling asked doubtfully.

"I'm afraid he's not human!"

As Gu Feng said this, he slowly stood up and looked outside the crevice.

A ball of black mist was like a tidal wave, quickly covering everything along the way and quickly spreading toward the area they were in.

Accompanying the black fog was not only a gloomy cry, but also an inexplicable throbbing.

There seemed to be some sort of powerful and evil existence hidden in the black fog. Even though it was still far away, one could still clearly feel the terrifying chilliness.

"Could this be …" Before Qin Ling could finish her sentence, her pretty face turned pale with fright.

"It's Yin Spirit!" Unknowingly, Gu Feng also clenched his fists.

His heart was in his throat.

It was only after experiencing life and death that he truly understood. To simply live, was such a wonderful thing. It also made him yearn for life even more.

He was scared now.

Because he was facing Yin Spirit.

The Floating Cloud City was a terrifying existence that even Awakened ones would have to retreat to!

He didn't even have the chance to escape.

The speed of the black fog was so fast that in the blink of an eye, it had completely covered the gaps between the boulders they were in.

In the pitch black darkness, it was as if there were dozens of women crying and groaning by his ear. It was very noisy.

However, Gu Feng could clearly hear his own breathing.

Heavy, short!

Suddenly, a cold hand fell on his arm.

Gu Feng's heart and body trembled. Just as he was about to shake it off, a soft and delicate body jumped into his embrace and hugged him tightly. Then, the body shivered as it was pressed against his chest.

So it was Qin Ling!

Gu Feng had just let out a breath of relief when a bright light suddenly lit up in front of his eyes.

In the dark and cold environment, this light was so warm and tempting. Qin Ling, who was in her arms, was stunned for a moment. She struggled to walk towards the light, but Gu Feng's remaining reason held her tightly.

This was a lamp, the one that had been burning for three whole nights on Floating Cloud City's newly buried grave!

The light swam about in the black fog, sometimes left, sometimes right. It seemed to have some sort of pattern, yet also seemed to be drifting about.

Gu Feng's gaze was glued to the light. His mind seemed to be attracted to it as well. What remained on the spot was only a shell.

"Moo!"

A roar suddenly came from afar.

The Soul Lamp flashed and flew off into the distance like a meteor, disappearing in the blink of an eye!

The surrounding warmth dissipated and was replaced by a bone-chilling coldness!

In the darkness, Gu Feng shuddered.

With his soul in his body, he felt goosebumps all over his back. His consciousness returned to his body, and he realized that his soul had almost been swallowed by the Soul Lamp.

After a long time, Qin Ling sobered up with a moan.

She let out a sigh of relief and let out a breath of fragrance, "Has Yin Spirit left yet?"

Gu Feng nodded.

"Great! I thought we were going to die here."

"I'm afraid that something even more horrifying is about to happen!"

Gu Feng sighed.

At this moment, Yin Spirit had escaped far away and the black mist had dissipated. Borrowing the faint yellow moonlight in the night sky, one could vaguely see, in the distant mountain forest, a black shadow that was like a small mountain rapidly approaching …

"Moo!"

The black shadow let out a beast's roar and rolled towards the sky and earth like muffled thunder. The birds that stayed in the jungle were startled and scattered in all directions.

Although its body was extremely huge, it was completely silent when it walked. It was like a mass of dark clouds that quickly covered half of the sky.

Closer! Closer and closer!

Gu Feng could already see clearly that it was a 500 feet tall, Ox-head and horse-face monster.

On its back was a large iron cage, and inside the cage were many beast puppies that were unique to the Wasteland.
