Upon hearing Luo Feng’s words, Lin Hongyi’s gaze flickered slightly, and her figure flashed, appearing beside Luo Feng, the two forming a pincer formation.

Their recent battle had taken a toll on both her and Luo Feng.

By now, her internal Yuan Qi has restored to less than forty percent; Luo Feng is even worse off, possibly unable to exert more than twenty percent of his strength. If a skilled adversary were to come by now, with intentions of greed, they would be hard-pressed to resist.

Screech!

Just as Luo Feng’s words fell, a piercing eagle cry suddenly resounded from the sky above, sharp and high-pitched, a sense of ferocity emanating towards them.

The two simultaneously looked upwards.

In the clear sky, a huge shadow rapidly expanded in their vision, descending at great speed.

The shadow was a giant demon eagle, its body purple-black, with a unicorn atop its head, exhibiting faint purple electric sparks, wings spread over a hundred meters. Each flap caused wild winds, creating terrifying whirlpools amongst nearby clouds, with speed beyond imagination.

"Mid-level ninth-grade demon beast, Purple Lightning Unicorn Eagle..."

Seeing the giant demon eagle, Lin Hongyi’s expression slightly changed as she secretly accumulated Yuan Qi.

It’s her...

Luo Feng showed surprise, reaching out to stop Lin Hongyi: "Don’t act yet."

Whoosh...

The Purple Lightning Unicorn Eagle swooped down, causing howling winds, landing beside the two, its profound purple eyes staring at Luo Feng and Lin Hongyi with cold glints.

"Leiying, they’re not food."

Accompanied by a gentle laugh, a young woman suddenly leapt down from the Purple Lightning Unicorn Eagle’s back, landing steadily on the ground.

The woman’s features were delicately carved, appearing strong and spirited, her tall stature clothed in a skirt made from monster leopard, fitting tightly and outlining dangerous curves, making one worry whether the skirt might burst during movement.

As if understanding the woman’s words, the fierce Purple Lightning Unicorn Eagle withdrew its gaze, fluttering its wings, starting to groom its feathers.

"So it really is her..."

Seeing the woman, Luo Feng raised his eyebrows.

This person was precisely the Southern Forest’s Wild tribe woman, the Purple Eagle Girl, who had fought against Evil Saber last time.

"No need to be tense, I’m not here with ill intentions."

The woman glanced at Lin Hongyi before focusing her gaze on Luo Feng.

"I wasn’t expecting to meet again, in just half a month your strength has surprisingly improved considerably, able to confront Evil Saber directly."

Luo Feng relaxed, feeling confident in his ability to discern people; the Purple Eagle Girl was not one to act out of greed.

Otherwise, during the confrontation with Evil Saber that involved several from the caravan, she wouldn’t have taken out money to compensate.

Besides, since even Evil Saber is not her match, given his and Lin Hongyi’s current condition, even if she harbored motives, he’d have no means to counter.

Exhaling, Luo Feng addressed the Wild tribe woman: "I didn’t expect it either. Have you been waiting for Evil Saber outside Big Market City these past two weeks?"

The Wild tribe woman glanced at Evil Saber’s corpse, nodding lightly: "Yes,"

"What if Evil Saber never shows up?"

The Wild tribe woman laughed lightly, unfazed:

"If he doesn’t show up for a year, I’ll wait a year; if he doesn’t show up for two years, I’ll wait two years. If he doesn’t show up for ten years, I’ll wait ten years... until he appears. Since I’ve said he’ll pay the price, I certainly won’t go back on my word."

Luo Feng silently clicked his tongue, understanding why Elder Tian Jing called the Wild tribe woman terrifying, indeed in certain aspects she is. Best not to entangle with her in the future.

The woman patted the Purple Lightning Unicorn Eagle, scrutinizing Luo Feng and Lin Hongyi with a smile:

"However, witnessing such an exciting confrontation makes this half-month wait worthwhile. I didn’t expect that in this pursuit of Evil Saber, I’d observe two talented martial artists who grasped the Grand Momentum. You surely aren’t unknown; who are you?"

The two...

Luo Feng’s heart stirred, glancing at Lin Hongyi.

Lin Hongyi’s face was expressionless, facing the Wild tribe woman dignified and composed, replied:

"As a martial artist, it’s customary to announce one’s own identity before inquiring about another’s origins."

The Wild tribe woman was momentarily stunned, then laughed:

"We of the Wild tribe aren’t bound by such formalities. However, you’re right; since I’m in the Hundred Nations Territory, I should adhere to local customs. I’m Yanmei from the Southern Forest’s Tiger-head Tribe. In the Hundred Nations Territory, I’m called the Purple Eagle Girl."

"Tiger-head Tribe of the Southern Forest’s six major tribes..."

Lin Hongyi’s brows slightly raised, cupping her fist: "Lin Hongyi, Inner Sect Disciple of Yuangang Hall."

"Disciple of Yuangang Hall, no wonder you can rival Evil Saber in strength, training the Golden Jade God Form Skill," Yanmei nodded slightly, her beautiful gaze turning curious towards Luo Feng.

If she hadn’t seen it herself, she wouldn’t have believed a mid-stage martial artist with nine rotations in the Spiritual Rotation Realm could slay Evil Saber.

Luo Feng found the Tiger-head Tribe familiar, but couldn’t recall where he’d heard it, sensing Yanmei’s gaze, said:

"Luo Feng, Inner Sect Disciple of Linglong Hall."

"Oh, Luo Feng!"

Yanmei’s eyes brightened, suddenly laughing: "It’s you."

"You know me?"

Luo Feng felt puzzled, considering Lin Hongyi’s reputation exceeds his, yet the other party didn’t recognize Lin Hongyi.

Yanmei replied: "Though I don’t know you, I’ve heard your name countless times. Remember Yan Hu?"

Luo Feng paused, immediately recalling the young Wild tribe member he encountered en route to Azure Sky City named Yan Hu, also from the Southern Forest’s Tiger-head Tribe.

"Then you are?"

"I’m Yan Hu’s sister."

Yanmei directly approached Luo Feng, wrapping her arm around his shoulder, laughing:

"Since Yan Hu returned from Canglang Dynasty to Southern Forest, he’s mentioned you daily. I could tell he saw you as a target. In this visit to Canglang Dynasty, I originally planned to find you, to see what kind of person could impress my fearless brother. Unexpectedly, we’d meet here."

Speaking, Yanmei applied pressure, hugging Luo Feng to her chest, smiling: "But you haven’t disappointed me."

At this moment, they were close, and the fiery curves below the short skirt felt distinctly by Luo Feng, his cheeks notably warm.

Though he intended to break free of Yanmei’s grasp, the woman’s strength was monstrous; her soft hands felt like iron shackles, Luo Feng exerting forty percent power still couldn’t budge her.

Helpless, Luo Feng relented, awkwardly saying:

"Sister Yanmei, you’re flattering me. Though Yan Hu and I have crossed paths, there was no definitive outcome."

This call of ’Sister Yanmei’ greatly pleased Yanmei, giving Lin Hongyi a casual smile before releasing Luo Feng:

"You need not be humble. Martial artists must have an enemy they must defeat in their hearts, like your challenge towards Lu Xiao Yun. Only then can their mind focus, providing motivation, and making training much more effective. Since childhood, Yan Hu viewed himself highly; having an opponent like you is rather beneficial to him."

Listening to Yanmei’s insightful discourse, Luo Feng thought: Such a profound perspective.

Standing aside, Lin Hongyi also pondered thoughtfully.
