Chapter 977 An Unexpected Encounter

"What the hell? Tribulation fire?"

Ye Feng was very puzzled, because there was no heavenly tribulation at the scene, nor was it his doing...

"Big... Big brother, it seems to be... Sister Ling!"

At this moment, a small exclamation sounded.

"What?"

Ye Feng was very surprised. With a few leaps, he came to Xiao Xiao's side. He followed the direction Xiao Xiao pointed and saw a slightly slender figure in the tribulation fire fighting a group of demons, goblins, and monsters of unnameable kinds...

"Holy cow... it really is Wu Ye Ling!"

Seeing this, Ye Feng was stunned. "I didn't expect to meet again so soon..."

"No wonder the explosion just now had tribulation fire... Did Wu Ye Ling use the Divine Tribulation Talisman I gave her before..."

Seeing this, Ye Feng somewhat understood.

"Wu Ye Ling said before that she had urgent business... could it be that she also came to this City of Sinlessness?"

Qiao Ying frowned slightly and chimed in. kanshuwu.xa

"Big brother, Sister Ling is being surrounded and seems to be struggling. Should we..."

Xiao Xiao looked at Ye Feng questioningly.

"I'll do it! Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying, don't use your angel power unless necessary... Those demons are too sensitive to angel power..."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Feng's figure flashed, stepping on the void and instantly charging into the crowd of demons and monsters. After killing a large wave of monsters, he quickly brought Wu Ye Ling out...

...

"Th-thank you..."

Wu Ye Ling, who had quite a bit of blood on her, didn't quite understand what was happening, but she knew that someone had come to her rescue, so she loudly expressed her gratitude.

"Ye... Ye Feng?"

Seeing the person who had saved her, Wu Ye Ling couldn't help but be slightly stunned, full of surprise.

"Sister Ling, are you alright?"

At this moment, Xiao Xiao's concerned voice rang out.

"This... Xiao Xiao... Qiao Ying..."

Wu Ye Ling's spirit was exhausted, and her expression was even a little dazed, but she still recognized Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying.

"Ling, you've been severely eroded by Belial's power of sloth... Let me help you remove the demonic energy!"

Saying that, Qiao Ying placed her hand on the back of Wu Ye Ling's head, and her angel power rapidly flowed into Wu Ye Ling's body.

"Ooh!"

Wu Ye Ling's dazed mind instantly became clear, and the bloodshot eyes quickly receded.

"Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying, is it really you?"

After confirming the three of them, Wu Ye Ling was surprised and delighted.

"Let's get out of here first!"

As Ye Feng spoke, he grabbed Wu Ye Ling's shoulder, his figure flashed, and he moved swiftly away, with Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying closely following.

After all, Qiao Ying had used her angel power just now, and many demons had already sensed it and were heading towards their previous location...

...

After taking many twists and turns and killing some demons and monsters, Ye Feng and the other three arrived at a secluded room.

"How did you all end up here?"

"Ling, how did you end up here?"

Wu Ye Ling and Ye Feng spoke almost simultaneously.

"Uh, Ye Feng, you go first. I'm going to eat something, I haven't eaten in three days!"

Saying that, Wu Ye Ling took out jerky, steamed buns, dried persimmons, and other food. She sat on the ground and began to eat and drink with water from her thermos.

Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Qiao Ying also took out food and water to replenish their energy.

"We followed the direction pointed by the Arcane Compass and accidentally arrived at this City of Sinlessness. Ling, what about you?"

Ye Feng said as he handed Wu Ye Ling a braised chicken leg and took one of her dried persimmons.

"I came here to investigate clues about my father... Before, at the caterpillar supply station, I left in a hurry just to get here..."

"This place is full of monsters, no normal people... I hid and dodged, trying to find the clues left by my father... but I couldn't find anything..."

Wu Ye Ling was obviously starving, her cheeks bulging as she ate.

"It's really like that!~"

Ye Feng glanced at Qiao Ying. She had just guessed the same thing.

"Ling, you just mentioned your father... What's going on?"

After a pause, Ye Feng spoke again.

"Gulp! Gulp!"

Wu Ye Ling gulped down two mouthfuls of water and said, "It's like this... Although Grandpa told me... Father is no longer in this world... I've never wanted to admit this fact... especially since I haven't seen Father's remains..."

"So I started investigating every place my father had been to, and everyone he met... unexpectedly, I found something..."

"Later, Grandpa also supported me... After the rebellion in the Adventurers' Guild, Grandpa strengthened the management of the Adventurers' Guild and re-analyzed a lot of intelligence..."

"That's how the clue to the City of Sinlessness came about... This City of Sinlessness is very strange... there are teleportation gates leading here from many places..."

"And then I came to this City of Sinlessness to search for my father's clues... According to my investigation, the City of Sinlessness was the last place Father reached..."

"But I've been here for three days, and I still haven't found anything... I even don't know how to search... There seem to be no normal people here... it's either demons or monsters..."

By the end, there was obvious disappointment on Wu Ye Ling's face.

"Is that so..."

Ye Feng frowned slightly. His consciousness swept over the skeleton in the spatial rift shard bracelet. He looked at Wu Ye Ling and slowly said, "Ling... if... I mean if... you were to see your father's skeleton, would you... recognize it..."

"Wh-what do you mean?"

Wu Ye Ling was slightly stunned, and instinctively sensed something.

Ye Feng glanced at Xiao Xiao, then a light flashed in his hand, and a white skeleton appeared in front of everyone.

"We found many skeletons in a place guarded by demons... including angels... and human powerhouses... one of them... Xiao Xiao analyzed... might be..."

Ye Feng didn't finish his sentence, but Wu Ye Ling understood. She looked at the skeleton in front of her with a serious expression. When she saw that a part of the little finger on the skeleton's left hand was missing, her expression changed instantly...

...

After a while, Wu Ye Ling finally moved her gaze away from the skeleton. She turned to look at Ye Feng, "This skeleton... many of its characteristics match my father's... but... honestly, I can't confirm if it's him..."

"Um... Ling, may I ask why you've been able to persist until now and still maintain your sanity?"

At this moment, Qiao Ying spoke, frowning. "With your strength at Diamond Rank 1, staying here for three days in a place with the power of sloth..."

"I found someone who called himself a camera and bought something called a 'Sober Pill'... He said that taking it would keep me awake..."

Wu Ye Ling pondered for a moment and quickly replied.

"This..."

Hearing this, Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Qiao Ying all looked surprised. They simultaneously thought of someone, the mysterious person who had wanted to sell the Sober Pill to Ye Feng before.
