Wind Devouring The World - C128
“What smell is this?”
“What did you say?” She stood up immediately after hearing what Ji Feng said.
“Lord Ocott has already found traces of the two men.”
“What do you mean, sir?” he asked.
“My lord’s meaning is that he is not responsible for defense and will let you handle it.”
He couldn’t think why Ocott would do that. This was the best time to hit them, you know. Although she could not think of the reason why Ocott had done so, she could not help but react.
He was about to say something, but Ji Feng interrupted him, “Sir, you can’t leave. I need you to hurry over.”
While Ji Feng was speaking, he moved to the side and motioned for Medivh to leave first. Without a doubt, she walked to the door. As they passed by Ji Feng, he suddenly moved. His left hand shot out to grab the man’s neck and his right knee was bent towards the man’s lower abdomen. There was a reason why he chose to fight head on. Mies was a mage, and in this world, apart from those who practiced both magic and martial arts, magi were generally weak in the body. The Necromancers who came into contact with the dead and the dead magical beasts were no exception. He had already verified this point from Gilbert, Gloria, and Hymin. A frontal attack was much more lethal. Moreover, most of the vital parts of a person’s body were right in front of them, making it easier for them to attack. Previously, when he was dealing with Cedric, he had sneaked an attack from behind because he was a martial artist, and a high-level martial artist at that. The chances of him winning with a frontal attack was close to zero.
Without any preparation, Medivh didn’t expect that Ji Feng would suddenly launch an attack. Furthermore, he was using a martial art. He had always thought that Ji Feng was only a low-level mage. Thus, when Ji Feng made his move, the shock on his face could be imagined.
There were a lot of ways to deal with this man, but at such a close distance, there was nothing he could do. Even his life-saving skill, Undead Sigh, was not released. Ji Feng had grabbed his neck, and his lower abdomen was firmly arched by Ji Feng’s knee.
After receiving such a heavy blow, Medivh was stupefied. His first thought was that it had also been Ocott who had killed Cedric, and he felt a bitter taste in his mouth at the thought of his earlier speculation. He had not expected Ocott to be so bold as to be so unscrupulous.
As soon as Ji Feng succeeded, he dragged Mies into the house and hooked the door shut with his foot. His left hand pinched the back of the man’s neck while his right hand and knees continuously attacked the man like a torrential downpour. It was to the point that even though he had the skills, he didn’t have the chance to use them. In addition, his throat was tightly gripped, and not a single sound could be heard. As a Advanced Level 7 Necromancer, his heart was filled with grievance.
Two minutes later, the wind stopped all attacks, and suddenly his right hand was pressed against the door of Missy’s heart. A flash of astonishment passed through his eyes.
About half an hour later, Ji Feng came out of the room. He drained all of the Missy’s mentality and burned her to ashes with a few fireballs. After the death of Medivh, his interspatial ring was revealed. He knew that there was definitely something good inside the ring, but he couldn’t remove the imprint. Moreover, he wanted to store it in his spatial ring, but was surprised to find that he couldn’t. He immediately thought of the reason. It was probably because the space in the storage ring was incompatible.
In the depths of the enemy’s territory, he would definitely be discovered if he wore a ring that did not belong to him. Thus, he could only throw the ring on the ground with reluctance. He did not give up and searched the entire room. In the end, he only found a thick magic book on the table that was slightly worth a bit of money. He randomly flipped through it and found that it was filled with all kinds of necromancy. It was probably a common item, otherwise, it would have been carried on a large scale. Although he didn’t plan on cultivating necromancy, if he could get out and successfully dispel the curse, he didn’t mind using it as a reference, so he stored it in his ring.
After killing a few high-level cultivators, Ji Feng’s confidence was boosted. He even thought that as long as he planned properly, killing Ocott would not be impossible. If he had not stayed awake and knew that he was just lucky, he would have thought that he was as omnipotent as Melinda had thought.
Leaving the house, Monsoon did not return to Ocott. He had gone somewhere else, and he did not intend to follow Ocott’s plan. He wanted to take the initiative. Only by killing everyone could he gain the right to speak. Thus, he would negotiate with Ocott.
After making up his mind, he left the house and headed in the opposite direction. Since Ocott only provided a portion of the terrain, the monsoon had to memorize the route so as not to be unable to find its way back in case of an accident.
Before they reached the corner, Ji Feng sensed a person walking towards him. At this moment, it was unrealistic to turn around and leave. Moreover, he had already predicted that he would run into someone else if he chose this direction.
Ji Feng was not nervous at all. He calmly walked along the wall of the corridor. After walking for three or four steps, he saw a person walking toward him.
It was a beautiful woman in a dark green warrior’s suit, cut to perfection, her brown hair tied back with a pink and green ribbon. Her facial features were exquisite, but her beautiful eyes were frosty. When paired with her warrior uniform, she gave off a valiant and formidable vibe. Even the experienced and knowledgeable Ji Feng could not help but secretly cheer.
Ji Feng soon remembered the woman’s name. Her name was Vivian, and she was one of the five leaders responsible for the defense. In Ocott’s words, she was also here to be gilded. Since Ocott had only described them to him, he had not explained their background. Moreover, there was no basic information about the targets that had not yet been assigned to the monsoon.
Although he didn’t know what Vivian was good at, Ji Feng still didn’t want to miss this rare opportunity. Thus, he took a few steps forward and said, “Lord Vivian, Lord Edmond asked me to find you.”
Vivian was the daughter of the Third Elder, Jevy, and Edmund Meadows was Jevy’s main disciple. This time, Vivian had come with Edmund Mises. Later on, when the plan to create a God was about to enter the next phase, the organization’s upper echelons would arrive. Even the Undead Emperor Abraham Alva, who rarely appeared in everyone’s line of sight, would also arrive. The Necromancers Guild had placed all their hopes on this plan that they had prepared for over a hundred years. As long as they succeeded, they would no longer have to fear the suppression of those self-proclaimed orthodox magi. He could even go back to the mainland openly instead of hiding on a small island that could not be found on a map.
In fact, Vivian hadn’t grown up on the island. Her mother had met him decades ago when he was out training. As a Necromancer, he should have given up on most of the human items, leaving behind only his soul and skeleton. But Vivian’s mother was so beautiful that he was amazed. At that time, he was already a high-ranked Necromancer, and his appearance was extremely terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people. Of course Vivian’s mother didn’t like him.
However, the strong possessive desire had already dominated his ability to act, and he directly seized hold of her, luring her into submission. He even brought her with him to vent his feelings every now and then. It wasn’t until a year later, when Vivian was born, that he gave up on her. After more than a year of living, Vivian’s mother accepted her fate. Besides, she had a child, so she didn’t have any other thoughts. After the event was over, naturally, he would bring the mother and daughter back. However, on the way back, his identity was discovered and he was chased. Vivian’s mother was killed in the chase.
In the end, after being seriously injured, Jeff took his daughter away from the chase and returned to the island where the headquarter was located. After recovering from his injuries, he sent his daughter away. He found a family with no children and gave them a large sum of money to raise his daughter.
The reason why he did this was because almost all of the islands were filled with death and were not suitable for children to grow up with. He did not want his own children to become skeletons before they grew up.
Because of Vivian, he had a new goal in his struggle. Over the next few decades, not only did he advance to become a rank 5 necromancer, he even became the elder ranked third in the Elder Hall. When he sensed that his daughter had the talent to cultivate dou qi, he found a high-grade dou qi manual for her and asked the high-level warriors on the island to teach her personally. Moreover, her talent was also not bad. This was also because Vivian was only twenty-three years old and had already reached the peak of a high level Fighter’s cultivation. It was only a matter of time before he broke through to the Elementary Martial Saint level. Because she was an adult, the island environment could not pose a threat to her. So he took her to his side. Knowing about the plan, Vivian wanted to play. In the days when Jeff had promised her what she wanted, he had his favorite disciple, Edmund Mises, take care of him.
Hearing Ji Feng say that Edmund was looking for her, and thinking of Cedric’s death, Vivian subconsciously thought that the person she was looking for had already been informed. Thinking that something had finally been done, she couldn’t help but ask excitedly, “Did you find some clues?”
Since she lacked experience, she ignored the fact that Ji Feng was a stranger and directly asked. She was with Edmund Mises, you know. How could there be someone she hadn’t seen before?
It was Ji Feng, however, who couldn’t help laughing at her playful eagerness. Although Vivian’s cultivation was very high, she clearly hadn’t experienced any battles. With a single glance, one could tell that she was a rookie. Let alone a sneak attack, he had the confidence to take care of it in a head-on battle.
Ji Feng immediately nodded his head and said, “I think so. Lord Edmond didn’t tell me, but he was very excited, as if he was talking about this time’s meritorious service.”
Vivian became more and more certain of her assumption and immediately said, “What are you waiting for? “Let’s go!”
That was what Ji Feng wanted. Smiling to himself, he turned around to leave.
It was not long before they reached the door of Edmond Mies’ house, where he had not expected to come again when he went out. Ji Feng didn’t know that Vivian and Edmond Mies were martial brothers and sisters, but he believed that Vivian was a warrior sent by the higher-ups of the Necromancers to gain experience. Despite the frost in her eyes when she had first seen her. But now, her innocent smile was like that of a Lin Family girl. Even Ji Feng could not bear to attack him. However, Ji Feng was not a merciful person. Especially in a place where he could die at any moment, he would not do that.
Opening the door, Ji Feng took half a step to the left. At the same time, he said, “Sir, please enter.”
Vivian went straight in, and Ji Feng followed. He closed the door behind him and locked it behind him without leaving a trace. Vivian didn’t notice, and when she came in, she didn’t see Edmond Mies. She immediately asked, “Where’s Edmond?”
“Maybe he went out, but he told me to look for you, and he’ll be back soon.”
Vivian accepted Monsoon’s explanation, sniffling a few times and frowning. “What smell?”
Of course, Ji Feng knew what Vivian was asking. It was the smell of burning Edmund. Because the doors and windows were closed and the time was too short, the smell didn’t dissipate. Thus, Ji Feng made his move.
