Chapter 2361 - 2360: Dark Clan
Chapter 2361 - 2360: Dark Clan
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Mu Wan’er was also looking at him, he hesitated for a bit and then said, "Of course that’s fine!"
"That’s great. Wan’er had talked to me about it before and was worried you wouldn’t agree!" Shui Ying said.
Ling Feng smiled. "Why would I refuse? Since you want to join, then come back with me. We’ll go to the top level, I’ll find someone to help improve your physique, then you can start absorbing Xuan Qi."
"Better tomorrow. After my mother and I move to the ninth level, I’ll come find you," Mu Wan’er said.
"That works too. Get settled first so you don’t have any worries, then come to me." Ling Feng nodded.
It was already night, so he didn’t stay long at the Mu Mansion and quickly returned to the City Lord’s residence on the top level.
Long Xiaoyu and the others weren’t there; he didn’t know what they were busy with. Ling Feng sat down in the main hall and once again started pondering his plans for the future.
He didn’t know how long had passed when a figure entered the hall.
Seeing that it was Lan, Ling Feng stood up with a smile. "You’re back. Busy day?"
"Not bad. With those one thousand Ling Family soldiers you gave us, they helped us a lot. I have to say, once you reach the Core Formation Realm you really are powerful!" Lan said.
"Yeah, otherwise how would the Dragon Clan be swaggering around everywhere?"
Ling Feng chuckled, then said, "I suddenly remembered something earlier, and you came at just the right time. Do you know about that group of mercenaries that showed up in Xuantian City before?"
"I know."
Lan nodded. "Those people had strange skin tones and suddenly appeared in Xuantian City. Later they even came to me."
"They came to you wanting to work as mercenaries, taking money to do things for you, right?" Ling Feng asked.
"Mm, yes. But they looked too strange, so I didn’t agree!" Lan said.
Ling Feng nodded. "Those people later went to the City Lord and received his commission to go to the Dark Forest, and that’s where I ran into them."
After explaining that he and those people were actually of the same kind, Ling Feng went on, "At the time I drove them off and didn’t take their lives. I don’t know where they went after that."
"You mean you’re worried they’ll come back, see you, and become a threat to you?" Lan asked.
"Not really."
Ling Feng shook his head. "My realm far surpasses theirs; they’re no match for me at all. I just want to know where they ended up."
"They failed to complete the City Lord’s mission, so they probably don’t dare come back. They likely already went somewhere else," Lan said.
"Probably. The Dragon Clan has already started searching for intruders. I wonder what their fate will be," Ling Feng said.
Lan looked at him. "Are you friends with them?"
"Not exactly. Back on Earth we were actually on opposing sides."
Ling Feng smiled, then said, "But after all, they’re of the same race as me. As long as they haven’t done evil, I still hope they can be safe."
Lan didn’t say anything, only feeling that her understanding of Ling Feng had gone one layer deeper.
After a brief silence, she said to Ling Feng, "I’ve finished reporting everything for today. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first."
"Head back?"
Ling Feng looked at her. "You’re going back by yourself?"
"Uh, yeah," Lan said.
Ling Feng grinned. "How come you’re not inviting me to go see something this time? Don’t tell me one night and it’s all over?"
"It’s not that..."
Lan’s face flushed red and she hurried to explain, "My big sister and Wan’er are both at my place. It wouldn’t be convenient for you to come..."
"Oh, I see. Then I’ll just have to be alone," Ling Feng said with a smile.
Lan shot him a glance, with a hint of plaintive resentment. "It’s not like you don’t have anyone else..."
Hearing this, Ling Feng was momentarily speechless and could only laugh, not knowing what to say.
The kindness of a beauty is hard to bear; a beauty’s complaint is, in its own way, also hard to bear.
Lan turned and left, while Ling Feng remained in the main hall.
Because Mu Mu and Xiao Xiao had gone to the Dark Forest, those two girls were definitely coming back tonight.
Ling Feng calculated the time. Even if they brought the Dark Clan with them, it wouldn’t take seven or eight hours; around midnight they should be back.
So he planned to stay and wait, and ask them about the situation when they returned.
Time ticked by second by second. Ling Feng sat alone in the hall, once again falling into deep thought.
At ten o’clock that night, two figures suddenly flashed in—it was Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu.
The two girls hadn’t expected Ling Feng to still be there. As soon as they came in, their faces lit up with delight.
And seeing them come in grinning, Ling Feng knew the matter had been handled.
Sure enough, once he asked, the two told Ling Feng that the Dark Clan had been completely brought back, with a total number of more than seven thousand.
And among them, the number of able-bodied men exceeded three thousand.
Moreover, because they had lived in the Dark Forest for so long, their capabilities were much stronger than those from Ling Family Village.
The strength of these men was all above the Qi Refining Realm.
Hearing this, an idea immediately formed in Ling Feng’s mind, and he said at once, "Then arrange for these people to go to the fifth level and have them be responsible for hunting in the future. As for their families, they can enjoy more benefits and welfare!"
"Having people hunt is definitely a good thing. That way the food supply issue can be resolved," Xiao Xiao nodded and said.
"Mm, even with three thousand men, guaranteeing food for a hundred thousand people might still be tough. But it’s fine. I’ve decided that I’ll go back to Earth one more time and try to bring back more resources," Ling Feng said.
Compared to Earth’s development, the trial mission was what truly mattered. If it couldn’t be completed, even Earth’s continued existence was questionable. So in terms of priority, Ling Feng had already made up his mind.
With that decided, the next morning, Xiao Xiao, Mu Mu, Lan, and the others all went to the fifth level and brought the Dark Clan out of the Space Bracelet.
The Dark Clan really started off high; they moved straight into upscale mansions.
There originally weren’t many residents on the fifth level. Some of them were Dragon Clan supporters who had already been taken care of by the people from Spring Water Hall. Their houses, plus the vacant buildings on the fifth level, became the best foothold for the Dark Clan.
After that, Ling Feng gave a speech to those three thousand able-bodied men, explaining his plans clearly to them.
The Dark Clan naturally had no objections. Their wives and children were all arranged and living a stable life now; helping with hunting was hardly anything to complain about.
So, in addition to the Ling Family Army, Xuantian City immediately gained another hunting force. They were quickly organized and then marched out of the city in great numbers.
After settling all that, Ling Feng told Lan about his next step in the plan.
The slums outside Xuantian City urgently needed to be renovated; the living conditions there were just too terrible!
Lan had no objections to Ling Feng’s idea at all and immediately arranged for people to carry it out.
Just like that, under Ling Feng’s will, the whole city began to operate like a machine.
