56: Identity leak

As Ling Feng finished speaking, Ling Di's figure flashed instantly.

"Zheng..."

The long saber was unsheathed.

In just a breath, the long saber returned to its sheath, and Ling Di was back behind Ling Feng, guarding him silently and respectfully.

At this moment, the surrounding people had not yet had time to react, and the guard who had been so arrogant earlier had already fallen in a pool of blood.

"This is too strong."

The other guard of Huangyun Inn instantly turned pale, his eyes filled with terror, and then he turned and fled in a hurry towards the inside of the inn.

It was clear that he was going inside to report to someone.

He couldn't have been unaware of the background of Huangyun Inn, but he still dared to openly kill a guard right at their doorstep, which showed he wasn't afraid of trouble.

Such a person was definitely not someone a small guard like him could afford to offend.

At the same time.

At this moment, many people around Huangyun Inn witnessed this scene; some who knew the background of Huangyun Inn couldn't help but show solemn expressions, but more people wore expressions of watching a show.

"What is the background of this person? He actually dares to kill a guard at the entrance of Huangyun Inn."

"The person who made the move is also formidable; I didn't even see how he attacked, and yet this guard was killed."

"These two killed a person from Huangyun Inn and aren't even running away. Are they reckless and foolish, or do they have something to rely on?"

The sounds of discussion constantly echoed, and everyone present was shocked by Ling Di's action of killing the Huangyun Inn guard.

However, Ling Feng ignored these discussions and then led Ling Di directly into Huangyun Inn.

Ling Feng's action surprised everyone present even more.

Killing someone from the inn, not fleeing immediately, and even daring to walk right in – this either meant immense strength or a powerful backing.

But no matter how powerful his strength and background, could he be more powerful than the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild?

Just as Ling Feng led Ling Di into Huangyun Inn and found a place to sit down, the guard who had left earlier returned with a group of people, quickly approaching Ling Feng and Ling Di, each person exuding a fierce aura.

One look and it was clear they were all people who had walked the line between life and death and were accustomed to seeing death.

For a time, the Martial Artists around Ling Feng and Ling Di quickly left, fearing that they might accidentally get caught in the crossfire.

"What's happening?"

At this moment, many Martial Artists inside the inn who were unaware of the situation asked in confusion.

"What else could it be? Those two just killed one of Huangyun Inn's guards right at the entrance. It would have been one thing if they just killed him, but after killing him, they leisurely walked into this inn."

"Isn't that just asking for death?"

Some informed Martial Artists replied.

"Who has such guts, to kill someone from Huangyun Inn and not run, but actually deliver themselves to their doorstep?"

"That young man looks very unfamiliar, and I don't know the specifics. You know that the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild's annual auction is about to be held, and people from various major and minor forces across the entire Xuantian Continent are coming."

"Perhaps he's just a hothead from some small force who's used to throwing his weight around in a small place."

Seeing such a display, discussions immediately erupted within the inn, with many unaware Martial Artists looking on in confusion, carefully listening to the accounts of those around them.

Soon, they arrived in front of Ling Feng and Ling Di. The guard from earlier pointed at Ling Feng and Ling Di and loudly said to a middle-aged man beside him,

"Third Shopkeeper, it's... it's these two. Bao Yuan was killed by them."

The Third Shopkeeper looked at Ling Feng and Ling Di in front of him, watching Ling Feng leisurely sipping tea, completely disregarding him and his group.

In an instant, the Third Shopkeeper and the Martial Artists behind him turned grim and fierce. They hadn't expected someone to dare to kill one of their own at the inn's entrance and then sit there drinking tea as if nothing had happened.

One must know that currently, this inn housed people from various major and minor forces across the entire Xuantian Continent.

If he didn't handle this properly today, even a slight mistake would cause Huangyun Inn's entire reputation to plummet, and he would definitely be the sinner of the entire inn.

At that time, neither the Great Chu Imperial Family nor the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild would easily let him off.

Thinking of this, the Third Shopkeeper took a step forward and asked in a cold, deep voice,

"Sirs, why did you presume to kill a guard of my Huangyun Commerce Guild? If there is no reasonable explanation, I'm afraid this matter cannot be easily resolved today."

Just as he was speaking, a middle-aged man dressed as a guard happened to walk in from outside. Seeing the situation, he also intended to find a spot to see who dared to cause trouble in Huangyun Inn, but when he clearly saw the faces of Ling Feng and the others, he immediately trembled all over, his face filled with panic.

"Clan Leader Ling!"

This guard was none other than Chen Fei, the guard commander who had accompanied Crown Prince Chu Chen to the Ling Family back then.

"Hiss..."

Huangyun Commerce Guild actually clashed with Clan Leader Ling, and judging by the Third Shopkeeper Sun Yun's appearance, he didn't seem to recognize Clan Leader Ling.

"Damn it, didn't His Highness already send Clan Leader Ling's portrait to the inn a long time ago? This Sun Yun, as a high-ranking member of the inn, relying on his status as a Flying Cloud Commerce Guild member, actually disregards His Highness's orders so much. He's simply courting death."

Then, Chen Fei quickly walked towards the interior of Huangyun Commerce Guild. He wasn't afraid that Sun Yun and the others would harm Clan Leader Ling if he was late, but rather he was afraid that if Clan Leader Ling got angry, he would kill all of Sun Yun and his group.

Hearing the Third Shopkeeper's words, Ling Feng couldn't help but scoff,

"So what if I killed him? I'm sitting right here today. Do you dare to touch me?"

"Hiss..."

Inside the inn, everyone heard Ling Feng's incredibly domineering words and couldn't help but gasp again. They hadn't expected this young man to have such courage.

The Third Shopkeeper heard Ling Feng's provocative reply, and his face instantly turned extremely grim. Unable to suppress the anger in his heart any longer, he gritted his teeth and loudly said,

"Since you two are so eager to die, then this shopkeeper will grant your wish."

"Men, seize these two for me!"

The fierce-looking guards behind him immediately made to step forward. At this moment, Ling Di's eyes were also cold, staring intently at this group of ants.

If these people were to make a move now, they would definitely be seeking their own demise.

Suddenly, just as both sides were on the verge of conflict, an extremely loud voice came from inside Huangyun Inn.

Soon, Chen Fei was seen accompanying an elder, walking out quickly.

Everyone saw the newcomers and respectfully bowed, saying,

"We respectfully greet the Head Shopkeeper."

The Third Shopkeeper Sun Yun, seeing that the Head Shopkeeper had arrived, also had no choice but to respectfully bow, saying,

"Sun Yun respectfully greets the Head Shopkeeper."

"Everyone, rise."

Then, the Head Shopkeeper walked directly in front of Ling Feng, and to the surprise of everyone, he respectfully bowed, saying,

"Liu Cheng, the Head Shopkeeper of Huangyun Inn, respectfully greets Marquis."
