Indeed, the newcomer was Zhang Ning, the newly appointed supervisor of this safety zone.
Zhang Ning had also brought many people with him, including even generals from the war zones. These important figures were naturally not uninvited.
Ling Feng had casually extended an invitation earlier.
Thus, the atmosphere at the scene instantly reached its peak with the arrival of Zhang Ning and these prominent figures.
What shocked everyone immensely, however, was that after Zhang Ning and his entourage went up, they merely exchanged a few polite words with Ling Feng, placed their gifts, and then turned to leave, seeming to have no intention of joining the table.
This caused many people to start murmuring.
Initially, everyone believed that the relationship between Zhang Ning and Ling Feng might not be as close as they imagined, and that a superficial courtesy would suffice.
However, a voice soon emerged.
That voice suggested that Zhang Ning and his group were simply too afraid to get too close to Ling Feng, and dared not even join the table.
This assertion was immediately met with much agreement.
Ling Feng's status and position began to steadily ascend. No one knew how terrifying Ling Feng's background was, except, of course, for the Hua family members present.
These members of the Hua family were naturally feeling extremely stifled, unable to utter any of these words.
The banquet soon concluded.
The next day, the wedding ceremony commenced grandly, unfolding exactly as Ling Feng had predicted. No one came to cause trouble, and there were no dramatic scenes.
Therefore, everything was to Ling Feng's satisfaction, and naturally, it was also to Hua Yuxiao's satisfaction.
For Hua Yuxiao, this was her perfect wedding.
That evening, Ling Feng had a few too many drinks and then, following tradition, they consummated their marriage. Of course, this was an extremely exciting moment for Hua Yuxiao.
Because Ling Feng that night belonged solely to her.
Ever since she had been with Lin Siqi and the other women, Hua Yuxiao had rarely had the opportunity to sleep alone with Ling Feng. She cherished this chance dearly.
The two of them engaged in passionate intimacy, and it was only at noon the next day that Hua Yuxiao emerged from the room with a slightly flushed face.
The other girls naturally teased Hua Yuxiao.
"Hmm? Where is Ling Feng?"
Hua Yuxiao was very curious. The groom was nowhere to be found after she woke up, which made her feel quite uncomfortable.
"Oh, Ling Feng has already gone out to collect the remaining medicinal herbs. He didn't bring anyone except Shuai Nan and a few others. If all goes smoothly, we can return to the Witch God Hall today!"
Tang Ru, who was most concerned about Ling Feng's whereabouts, explained this to Hua Yuxiao.
Hua Yuxiao nodded upon hearing this, understanding that while holding the wedding was important, there was another crucial matter: Ling Feng needed to find medicinal herbs for the owner of the Witch God Hall.
Old Master Hua must have collected some medicinal materials, but some key items were still missing.
Therefore, Ling Feng naturally had to find them himself. These items weren't impossible to buy, but delivering them through certain channels could cause significant delays.
For Ling Feng, time was precisely the most precious commodity at this moment.
At this very moment.
Ling Feng had already led a few people into the primeval jungle southwest of Nanyun.
This was originally a primeval jungle. Since the outbreak of all the monsters, it had become an uninhabited place, thus naturally becoming a paradise for some monsters.
There were truly many monsters here.
However, as soon as the aura of King-level monsters, or even beyond, emanated from King Kong and the others, the surrounding monsters dared not approach Ling Feng and his group at all.
Because of the wildness here, the medicinal herbs also grew in abundance.
With the resurgence of spiritual energy, these medicinal herbs became increasingly plentiful, leading some people to come and collect them, though they usually traveled in groups.
It was truly rare for a group of just a few people like Ling Feng, traveling light.
Therefore, along the way, they occasionally encountered one or two teams. Upon seeing Ling Feng, they couldn't help but mock him as an idiot who would surely die in the depths of the jungle.
However, Ling Feng and his companions paid no heed to such remarks.
They continued to press deeper.
Thirty minutes later, Ling Feng and his group encountered another team. What surprised them was that these people were also traveling light.
"Oh, Big Brother, this is quite rare. These people are not weak; the weakest are at the peak of the Martial God realm, and there are several Land Immortals!"
Lin Shuainan whispered into Ling Feng's ear.
Ling Feng rubbed his ear, "I'm not blind, nor am I deaf. Next time you speak, keep your distance from my ear. Your voice is too loud. Don't you realize that if they can hear you, they can also hear the person whose strength is not weak?"
Lin Shuainan was naturally taken aback by this.
Then, he saw that the people opposite were indeed walking towards them!
There were a total of six people on the other side, two more than Ling Feng's group of four. Although they appeared to be traveling light, one of them was carrying a large box, indicating that the contents were not cheap!
The leader was a young man with silver-dyed hair and elven ears. It was unclear whether this was due to plastic surgery or if he genuinely possessed elven blood.
"Heh, gentlemen, anyone who has made it this far is quite strong. We are about to venture further. May I ask what you are looking for? My name is Zhou Lin, and I am quite familiar with the surroundings. We can team up and each get what we need!"
The leader, Zhou Lin, had introduced himself, but he deliberately ignored his teammates.
Before confirming Ling Feng's intentions, there was no need for further introductions.
Ling Feng naturally didn't care about these matters. He merely glanced at this person named Zhou Lin, and then at the burly man standing in the middle behind Zhou Lin, who was carrying a box. The contents of that box were definitely valuable!
Zhou Lin noticed Ling Feng's gaze and instinctively shifted his position, deliberately blocking Ling Feng's view!
Ling Feng understood the other party's intention and shook his head, "Forget about teaming up. I have almost collected the medicinal herbs I need. If you have anything I want, I can purchase it directly!"
Zhou Lin's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Heh, is that so? Brother, leave your name so we can get acquainted. If you need any medicinal herbs, you can tell me directly, and I'll have my teammates help you find them. Perhaps it will save you a lot of time! This is our supply point, so the prices are cheaper!"
