Lin Fei had never met the City Lord, nor had she ever met him; in fact, she was entirely unaware of his existence. As for the City Lord Qingyu’s seclusion, Lin Fei had no choice but to wait for her to emerge, as disturbing her rashly would mean all his previous efforts would have been for nothing.
What vexed Lin Fei, however, was that no one knew when Qingyu would emerge from seclusion. He had tried to divine the timing, but the attempt failed, which only proved that such celestial secrets could not be glimpsed within the spatial domain of the Qishi beast. This meant Lin Fei might have to wait indefinitely in Wanhua City. How long that might take, no one knew—not even the Qishi beast itself.
In reality, while the Qishi beast could kill the cultivators it imprisoned here at any time, it had no way to control them. Consequently, the spiritual beings here were, at the very least, free and independent in their souls. Lin Fei was unsure if the Huaxu beast could also kill the beings trapped within it at will, but judging by the spiritual energy and vitality in this world, the Qishi beast’s domain seemed to be of a higher order. As for which of these two rare, ancient exotic beasts was stronger, Lin Fei had no way of knowing. Even A-Yu and Old Hu, with all their vast experience, had very limited knowledge of the Huaxu and Qishi beasts.
