Chapter 486 Entering No Man’s Land

"Where on earth has Lin Feng gone?" Jiang Cheng's voice was filled with anger and resentment. He suddenly pulled the reins and lashed the ground with the whip, sending up a cloud of dust. His face was terribly gloomy, and the rage in his eyes seemed to ignite the dust.

Chang Jihou was panting heavily, his face full of fatigue: "We've been chasing him for so long, but there's no trace of him. Could he have gotten away?" There was a hint of frustration in his eyes, and his original confidence gradually dissipated during this long chase.

Zuo Lun frowned, his eyes scanning the surrounding sand dunes: "We can't just let it go like this, he must still be around." His voice was low and firm. As the old patriarch of the Zuo family in the capital, he was absolutely unwilling to give up easily.

Guan Jinsong tried to calm himself down: "Look for him again, he won't be able to escape even if he has wings." But his eyes could not hide his anxiety, and he had a deeper understanding of Lin Feng's cunning.

However, no matter how hard they searched, Lin Feng vanished without a trace, as if he had vanished from the face of the earth. Finally, after a fruitless search, Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Let's go to Moyan Village and threaten Lin Feng with Li Hua. He won't dare to refuse." There was a hint of ruthlessness in his voice, as if he had already seen Lin Feng's surrender.

With that, the eight of them turned their horses and galloped towards Moyan Village. The sound of their hooves thudded dully on the sand, raising a cloud of dust.

By the time they arrived at Moyan Village, it was already dark. A tranquil atmosphere permeated the village, punctuated by the occasional barking of dogs. But the arrival of the eight men instantly shattered this stillness.

They rushed straight into the village, grabbed a villager, and demanded sharply, "Where is Li Hua?"

The villagers were terrified by this sudden turn of events and stammered, "Li... Village Chief Li was taken away by his men. They said there was a god's abode in the uninhabited area to the northwest, and that there was something there that could cure Village Chief Li, so they went there."

Jiang Cheng and others' expressions changed suddenly when they heard this.

"Oh no, we've been lured away from the mountain!" Jiang Cheng roared angrily and punched the tree trunk next to him. The trunk shook violently and leaves fell.

"This Lin Feng is so cunning!" Chang Jihou said gritting his teeth, with a gleam of resentment in his eyes.

In desperation, they could only quickly inform those still in Lingyuan City. The news spread quickly throughout Lingyuan City like wings.

A day later, a large force arrived at Moyan Village. These individuals hailed from the five major sects and the various powers within the capital, each possessing considerable strength. Their gathering in Moyan Village filled the village with a momentary atmosphere of tension.

"Set off immediately and head to the uninhabited area in the northwest. We must not let Lin Feng and the others succeed!" A powerful leader gave a loud order.

And so, under the cover of darkness, powerful troops, one after another, advanced towards the no-man's land. The moonlight shone upon them, outlining their resolute figures. Though their numbers were small, each one exuded a powerful aura, as if capable of crushing all obstacles.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng, having escaped the pursuit of the eight men, successfully reunited with Xu Tian and the others. They met in a secluded valley, the moonlight filtering through the cracks in the valley, casting a shadow over them like a layer of silver gauze.

The moment Xu Tian, ​​Chen Xiner, and Chen Yu saw Lin Feng, their worries instantly dissipated. Chen Xiner quickly stepped forward and hugged Lin Feng tightly, tears glistening in her eyes. "You're finally back! We were so worried about you." Her voice was choked with sobs, filled with concern for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng patted Chen Xiner's back gently and comforted her, "I'm back, it's okay." His voice was gentle and firm, which gradually calmed Chen Xiner's heart.

Afterwards, Xu Tian and Chen Yu also came over. They told Lin Feng about their experiences during this period, including how they brought Li Hua out of Moyan Village and the villagers' reactions.

Li Hua sat in a wheelchair, listening quietly to their story. When Lin Feng looked at him, he said solemnly, "Lin Feng, this matter is very tricky. You must be careful. Those forces will do anything to seize the God's residence." His voice was low and sincere, full of worry and concern for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded solemnly: "General, don't worry, I will be careful." His eyes revealed firm determination, as if he was promising something to Li Hua.

Taking advantage of the night, Lin Feng decided to send Li Hua back to Moyan Village. He knew that this was the safest place for Li Hua. Along the way, moonlight shone on them, and all around was silence, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the night sky.

After returning to Moyan Village, Lin Feng found a trustworthy villager and entrusted Li Hua to him: "Please take good care of the general's daily life and don't let him out until the matter is resolved." His voice was low and serious, and his eyes were full of trust.

The villager nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Village Chief Li."

After arranging Li Hua, Lin Feng and the other three, under the moonlight, began to prepare to head to the uninhabited area in the northwest. Their figures were stretched out in the moonlight, like a silhouette.

Lin Feng, Xu Tian, ​​Chen Xiner, and Chen Yu trudged through the scorching sand, their figures dwarfed by the vastness of the desert, as if they would be swallowed up by the boundless sea of ​​sand at any moment. In the distance, a few withered cacti could be seen, standing alone on the dunes. They were the few remaining signs of life in this desolate land, yet they seemed precarious in this harsh environment.

"This damn place, the distance between the village and town is too far." Xu Tian panted, kicking the sand beneath his feet, stirring up a cloud of dust. His face was covered in sweat, red from the sun, and his clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to his body.

Chen Yu frowned slightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily. "Yes, and the further we go, the more desolate it becomes." His voice was low and filled with worry. In this desolate desert, any mishap could be fatal.

Chen Xiner's steps stumbled slightly, her face pale, beads of sweat covering her forehead. The scorching heat and harsh conditions were taking their toll. "When will this journey end?" she whispered, a hint of fatigue in her voice.

Lin Feng walked to Chen Xiner and asked with concern: "Xiner, how are you? Can you still hold on?" His eyes were full of worry, and Chen Xiner's condition made him very distressed.
