177: Chapter 177 Return of the Flame Cavalry

Lingyun City.

On White Tiger Street.

A handsome and elegant young man, dressed in a black brocade robe, was strolling along the main street of Lingyun City, looking here and there, even stopping occasionally.

This person was none other than Ling Feng, who had just left Ling Ziming. Originally, he had intended to return directly to his courtyard to Cultivate, but halfway there, he suddenly remembered that it had been some time since he had personally walked around Lingyun City. Moreover, it had also been a while since he had instructed Ling Zhan to expand the Blazing Flame Battle Riders Army.

So, he decided to take a personal tour of Lingyun City today to see how it had developed, and conveniently, he would also visit the Blazing Flame Battle Riders Army's garrison to inquire about the expansion from Ling Zhan.

If the expansion was complete, he could also give Ling Lie the surprise he had promised last time—the Army Soul Condensation Scroll—at the same time, saving him another trip later. Furthermore, if the Blazing Flame Battle Riders Army could use the Army Soul Condensation Scroll to condense its exclusive Army Soul as early as possible, the Blazing Flame Battle Riders Army's strength would undergo earth-shattering changes, which would be extremely beneficial for both Lingyun City and the Family.

“Passersby, don’t miss out! Freshly baked roasted meat!”

...“Cloud Spirit Plant, just picked from the Lianyun Mountains, it’s a rare Spirit Medicine for foundation building, only one hundred low-grade Spirit Stones.”

...“Fresh Yellow Martial Realm Yao Beast meat, just hunted back from the Lianyun Mountains, only four heads! Once sold out, you’ll have to wait several days!”

...“Hiring! Hiring! To collect Spiritual Plants in the Lianyun Mountains, limited to those with Yellow Martial Realm cultivation and above, generous rewards!”

Ling Feng, strolling on White Tiger Street, listened to the continuous shouts from both sides of the street and observed the bustling scene around him. He couldn’t help but nod secretly, extremely satisfied with how Ling Wang had managed Lingyun City.

After strolling for a while, Ling Feng had seen enough of Lingyun City's current situation. He then ended his sightseeing and immediately walked quickly towards the Blazing Flame Battle Riders Army’s garrison… Blazing Flame Battle Riders Army Garrison.

At the main gate.

Several Blazing Flame Battle Rider soldiers, clad in blazing armor, wielding blazing battle sabers, and wearing blood-red blazing cloaks, inadvertently exuded a terrifying aura. Their eyes were sharp, and their faces serious as they guarded the garrison entrance.

Their defense was clearly strict.

“Thump-thump… Thump-thump…”

Ling Feng’s figure flickered, and he appeared directly less than ten meters from the entrance of the Blazing Flame Battle Riders Army’s garrison.

When Ling Feng’s figure suddenly appeared, the Blazing Flame Battle Rider soldiers on guard were greatly startled. However, their excellent military training quickly allowed them to react. Their battle sabers unsheathed, they immediately shouted at Ling Feng.

“Clang…”

“Who goes there? This is our Blazing Flame Battle Riders Army’s garrison. Unauthorized personnel are forbidden to approach, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!”

As the Blazing Flame Battle Rider leader in charge of guarding shouted, in an instant, the surrounding space involuntarily grew several degrees colder.

“I am Ling Feng.”

Hearing the guards’ shouts, Ling Feng showed no displeasure. Instead, his face held a slight smile, indicating his great satisfaction with the attitude of these Blazing Flame Battle Rider guards. He immediately responded.

Upon hearing Ling Feng’s reply, the guards were instantly startled. They quickly sheathed their battle sabers, and the leading guard even stepped forward several paces, directly kneeling on one knee before Ling Feng, cupping his fist and respectfully saluting.

“Your subordinate greets the Family Head!”

“We did not know the Family Head was arriving. We were very presumptuous just now, and we hope the Family Head will punish us.”

At the same time, the other Blazing Flame Battle Rider soldiers guarding there also all knelt on one knee, holding their sabers with cupped fists, respectfully bowing their heads and echoing their salutes in unison.

“We greet the Family Head!”

Seeing this, Ling Feng glanced over the several guards, waved his hand, and immediately responded with an undisguised smile of praise.

“Strict military discipline, diligent in your duties, and constantly maintaining vigilance—what crime is there?!”

“All of you, rise.”

“Thank you, Family Head!”

Hearing Ling Feng’s words, the guards immediately responded, then rose directly.

Seeing all the guards before him rise, Ling Feng immediately spoke to inquire, not waiting for the leading guard to speak.

“Is Ling Lie in the military camp?”

Hearing Ling Feng’s inquiry, the leading guard dared not delay and immediately responded respectfully.

“Reporting to the Family Head, the General is in the military camp. I will send someone to inform him now.”

Having said that, he immediately intended to instruct one of the soldiers behind him to go into the camp to inform the General.

“No need to inform him. Just take me to him directly.”

Seeing this, Ling Feng quickly stopped the leading guard, waved his hand, and spoke directly and straightforwardly.

“Yes, Family Head.”

Hearing Ling Feng’s instruction, the leading guard respectfully assented, then sternly ordered the guards beside him.

“I will take the Family Head to see the General. I will return shortly. During this time, you all must remain highly vigilant and guard diligently.”

“Yes, Captain.”

As the leading guard’s order was given, all the other Blazing Flame Battle Rider soldiers guarding there cupped their fists and responded respectfully.

“Family Head, please come this way!”

Then, the leading guard stepped aside, gestured with his hand, and respectfully spoke to Ling Feng before him.

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng nodded and immediately strode directly into the military camp… A moment later, the pavilion where Ling Lie conducted his daily affairs appeared in Ling Feng’s line of sight.

At the same time, the soldier on duty at the entrance, seeing Ling Feng’s arrival, immediately hurried into the building.

Soon, not long after the soldier on duty entered the building, an urgent sound of footsteps, mixed with the clatter of armor during movement, came from inside, growing closer and closer.

“Thump-thump… Thump-thump…”

“Thump-thump…”

Accompanied by the increasingly close footsteps, soon, Ling Lie and several military deputies appeared at the main gate.

Just then, Ling Feng, led by the leading guard at the camp gate, was also slowly walking towards where Ling Lie and the others were.

Seeing this, Ling Lie and the others, upon seeing Ling Feng’s figure, all quickly stepped forward to meet him…
