By this time, Wu Feng had long since exited the Blood Spirit state, but the tremendous backlash had left him with barely half a life, meaning that the current Wu Feng was utterly powerless to resist.

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly, never expecting that both he and Long Feixue had been duped by him, this guy having been holding on with his last breath while negotiating terms with Lin Chen and Long Feixue.

If Long Feixue had known about Wu Feng's condition, she probably would have already killed her way in.

Wu Feng also gave a wry smile, his current situation was like a fish on the chopping board, entirely vulnerable to Lin Chen's moves—he didn't have the slightest strength to fight back.

"Surprised, are you?" Wu Feng said with a smile.

Lin Chen let out a bitter laugh, "It seems that the older ginger is indeed spicier!"

Wu Feng shook his head, "Actually, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have withdrawn from the Blood Spirit state, even in death I would have dragged that bitch Long Feixue down with me; but your presence changes things.

First, I don't want to become a Blood Spirit that knows only how to kill, and second, I hope my death has value, thus I resorted to this last measure, please forgive me, Brother Lin."

Even though Lin Chen had been tricked, he felt no anger; instead, he admired Wu Feng's character even more.

To use his own life to buy his brothers more time to escape, as the boss, he did all that was humanly possible.

Of course, Wu Feng was also gambling, betting that Lin Chen was a man of loyalty and honor. In his current state, if Lin Chen reneged, he would be completely helpless.

But he was lucky, he had bet correctly.

Although Lin Chen had been tricked, since he had already promised Wu Feng, he wouldn't go back on his word. After all, he had given the people of Evil Spirit Island a good beating, even taking down their leader in China. So, even though he had fallen into a small trap set by Wu Feng, overall Lin Chen was still the ultimate victor.

Wu Feng pointed to his neck, "The dagger, you can put it to my throat now."

Lin Chen scratched his head, "Sorry, I forgot to bring it."

Wu Feng was taken aback at first, then he let out a hearty laugh, "I am very glad to have made your acquaintance before I die."

Lin Chen sat down beside Wu Feng with a smile, "I am also glad to be able to accompany you on your final journey."

"After I finish this cigarette, you can send me on my way," Wu Feng said calmly as he took out a cigarette and placed it in his mouth.

Lin Chen nodded. For some reason, seeing this once formidable hero in his final desolate moments, he felt a tinge of sorrow in his heart.

The factory was eerily quiet, with only the flickering light of the cigarette glowing intermittently.

"Lin Chen, how much do you understand about this world?" Wu Feng suddenly asked.

Lin Chen shook his head, "A few months ago, I was just a high school student, living a normal life. It was only later that I found out that in this world, there are indeed people who can summon thunder and rain with a wave of their hand, there are those like you who can manipulate souls, completely overturning my worldview."

Wu Feng laughed, "What you know is just the tip of the iceberg of this world. Now that you have stepped into the world of the supernaturally gifted, there is no turning back. Remember, this world is mad and cruel. Do not believe in any so-called justice or evil; all that exists here is the law of the jungle, where those hiding behind human masks are far more terrifying than real jackals and wolves."

Lin Chen nodded and then suddenly asked, "Brother Feng, how much do you know about the Dark Alliance?"

After all, as an old hand in the world of the supernaturally gifted, Lin Chen hoped to get more clues from him, especially since his father was still in the hands of the Dark Alliance.

"The Dark Alliance, I've had dealings with them before. Their organization is very mysterious, and their Alliance Hierarch is a very powerful figure. Moreover, it is said that they have some connection with the Xu family of China. If you want to find clues, you might start with the Xu family," Wu Feng said, taking a puff of smoke.

"The Xu family? One of the eight great powers with supernatural abilities, the Xu family?" Lin Chen was taken aback.

The Xu family was the largest in the south, centered around Shanghai Sea, and their influence spread throughout the country.

Wu Feng smiled, "Lin Chen, let me advise you, try not to provoke the Dark Alliance or the Xu family as they're not ones you can afford to mess with at the moment."

Lin Chen took a deep breath and said coldly, "As a man, there are burdens that must be carried. Whether I can afford to or not, if someone bullies me, I must strike back."

"Haha, I like your spirit, too bad I don't have much time left," Wu Feng said, taking a drag from his cigarette before tossing the butt on the ground and stomping on it.

"Brother Lin, thank you for being with me on this final stretch. I have one more favor to ask," Wu Feng continued.

"Brother Wu, just say the word. If it's within my power, I'll do my best," Lin Chen said solemnly.

Wu Feng fixed his gaze on Lin Chen and said seriously, "I hope you can become the Spirit Master and lead my brothers onto the right path."

"What?" Upon hearing Wu Feng's words, Lin Chen was stunned.

Wu Feng sighed and said, "My brothers might seem like they kill and arson without scruples, but we only kill those who deserve it. Just like those four from Dragon Group, we wouldn't have acted if they hadn't troubled us first."

"Brother Wu, that might be difficult. Wouldn't they blame me for your death? Will they follow my command?" Lin Chen said with a wry smile.

Wu Feng gave a faint smile, "Give me a second, I'll make a call first," and he dialed on his phone, "Second, it's your brother Feng."

"Big brother, where are you? I heard you were trapped in Huaxia. I'm gathering the brothers to come rescue you," Second's anxious voice came from the phone.

"Bullshit, have all my words fallen on deaf ears? If you regard me as your big brother, then all of you stay put on the island! I'm passing the role of Spirit Master to Lin Chen. From now on, he's your big brother, and his orders are mine. Got it?" Wu Feng commanded assertively.

"Damn!" Lin Chen almost fainted to the side; he hadn't even agreed yet, and Wu Feng had already made the announcement.

"Got it, big brother. But what about you?" the voice of Second, the Blood Spirit, asked anxiously.

"Me? I'm tired, I want to rest. Tell the brothers, if anyone respects me as their big brother, nobody avenges me. Understood?" Wu Feng said with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Of course, he was not ready to die, but the Forbidden Technique he had just used cost him his life; he wouldn't live much longer even if no one killed him.

"Big brother!" sobs came through the phone from the Blood Spirit.

Wu Feng hung up the call with a faint smile, "Brother Lin, whether you like it or not, I have spoken. I hope you can look after the brothers for me."

Lin Chen felt incredibly frustrated; at the brink of death, Wu Feng had played him yet again.

This token is the Spirit Master token of Evil Spirit Island. There are a total of one hundred and eight brothers on the island, all supernatural beings from around the world. From now on, you are their Spirit Master.

"Hold on, Brother Wu, I haven't thought this through yet." Lin Chen didn't reach out to take the token.

Wu Feng smiled faintly, "I'm not forcing you to take over. Aren't you looking to oppose the Dark Alliance? This will be a tremendous treasure for you. If you don't want to take it, consider this token a keepsake."

Saying so, Wu Feng shakily stood up with the support of the wall, pulled out a handgun, "Don't laugh at me, Brother Lin, but facing death, I find myself somewhat reluctant to leave this world. Could you grant me a swift end?"
