Free Web NovelChapter 1889: Chapter 1890: Not Now! (Second Update)
Before long, under Sun Gongming’s leadership, no one dared to continue blocking the path.
And upon learning that Prince Ling had arrived at the Sky-reaching Fortress, the soldiers all showed expressions of disbelief, followed by reverence and admiration, and they bowed to Ling Feng with utmost respect.
In the Sky White Empire, everyone knows that it was with the assistance of this young man that the Empire stands as it does today.
If not for him, the Sky White Royal Family would have been replaced long ago.
Returning once more to the Sky-reaching Fortress, Ling Feng felt a touch of wistfulness, but at this moment, he did not have the time to reminisce.
"Greetings, Prince Ling!"
From afar, he heard a resounding voice, which turned out to be the Three Armies Grand Commander, Han Li, personally coming to greet him.
Han Li strode up to Ling Feng, kneeling on one knee. Even with his status, he had to perform the kneeling ritual in front of Ling Feng, the "Emperor’s King."
"Grand Commander, please rise."
Ling Feng hastily helped Han Li to his feet; separated by several years, things had changed greatly.
The current Ling Feng, whether in status or strength, had far surpassed the high-ranking Three Armies Grand Commander before him.
"Prince Ling, your presence here is truly a blessing for our Northwest Army!"
Han Li sighed lightly, his temples now white as frost, having aged considerably compared to previous encounters.
"My arrival is merely a chance coincidence. Enough of this, I need to know the range of activity of the Blood God Sect; since I am here, I’ll definitely eliminate this threat once and for all."
Ling Feng’s expression turned solemn; Li Qingling had escaped from him repeatedly, but this time, he was bound to die!
Unless he had already broken through to the Saint Level!
However, if he truly was that formidable, why hide and skulk in the Western Wilderness, engaging in the antics of the Blood Spirit Corpse army?
"Yes!"
Han Li nodded, immediately inviting Ling Feng to the Commander Tent, leaving Yeu Junyao completely sidelined, which made the Heavenly Pride Girl feel a bit uneasy in her heart.
After all, wherever she went, she was the eternal focus, but now, why had all attention been drawn to Ling Feng?
It was truly frustrating!
...
"Here, here, and here! All are zones where Blood Spirit Corpses have erupted, and among them, there are high-level Blood Spirit Corpses comparable to King-level. The strongest have even preliminarily reached the Half-step Human Emperor level!"
Han Li pointed at a map before him, informing Ling Feng of all the details.
Ling Feng’s eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness, for the three cities Han Li pointed to seemed faintly to surround Wangduan Mountain, and Wangduan Mountain was precisely where the Sky Strategy Clan resided.
Could all this simply be coincidence?
Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng looked westward from the Sky-reaching Fortress and asked gravely, "What about the Tianyang Empire? Have they shown any signs of movement?"
"On the Tianyang Empire’s side, they’re monitored by the Goo Family Army, and haven’t dared to make any moves yet."
Han Li’s expression eased slightly, "The Goo Family Army has produced an incredible young man. The Tianyang Empire relies entirely on the Goo Family’s youth for suppression. In just a few short years, that young man has reached mid-stage King-level, with strength suppressing ordinary late-stage King-level powerhouses. The Northwest Army has gained another fierce warrior! By the way, that Goo Family youngster is an alumnus of the Heavenly Position Academy!"
Ling Feng chuckled lightly; years ago, he had given Goo Tengfeng a Holy Dragon Dominator Blood Pill. It seemed Goo Tengfeng had not wasted this supreme-grade elixir; although he might not reach Xiao Fan’s level, he would eventually grow to be a dominant force within the Sky White Empire.
Just that Goo Tengfeng was now at the Tianyang Empire’s front line, so Ling Feng might not be able to meet him for the time being.
"I’m aware of the situation."
Ling Feng pondered for a moment before saying, "Grand Commander, please take out all Moon Shadow Fragrance from the fortress’s stockpile."
"Very well, someone heed Prince Ling’s orders!"
Han Li shouted, the Moon Shadow Fragrance being the primary spiritual medicine Ling Feng used last time to dissolve the Blood Spirit Gu; given the precedent of Blood Spirit Corpses erupting, the Sky-reaching Fortress had prepared some.
This time the Blood Spirit Corpses erupted again, the Northwest Army had purchased a large batch of Moon Shadow Fragrance, sufficient to treat over a million Blood Spirit Corpses.
While the soldiers went to transport the Moon Shadow Fragrance, Ling Feng squinted his eyes and looked toward the direction of the Three Thousand Realms.
In the Three Thousand Realms lies the claimed Three Thousand Great Dao. Years ago, Ling Feng had entered it as well, but unfortunately found no affinity with any kind of Dao power.
However, within the Four Spirits Sealing God Stele, he encountered the Demon Clan Empress Ke Wei Li.
Back then, he promised to help her break free, and dismantling the barrier of the Four Spirits Sealing God Stele required the Immortal Root Origin of the Sky Patrol Clan or the Dragon Essence of the Void Curse Dragon lineage.
And by chance, he had obtained the Immortal Root Origin of an injured member of the Sky Patrol Clan. (PS: Refer to the Chapters around 1200 when Ling Feng traveled to the East Spirit Immortal Pond via the Tianlan Sea Domain.)
Now that he’s returned to the Northwest Sky Tower Fortress, should he release Ke Wei Li?
After considering, Ling Feng suppressed this idea.
Although Ke Wei Li said her enemies were solely the Immortal Clan, temporarily at least, in front of those Immortal God-level powerhouses, he was still too weak.
He did not believe that as the Demon Clan Empress, Ke Wei Li would be benevolent, perhaps relying on sweet talk before asking for his help, even claiming to ally with him against the Sky Patrol Clan.
But as a mere ant, why would he ally with Ke Wei Li?
He needs the strength of the Demon Clan Empress, so he must save Ke Wei Li, but not now.
At least, he should reach the Immortal Realm before rescuing that woman.
Ling Feng thought more and felt that releasing Ke Wei Li now was not a wise choice.
There are too many factors he cannot control.
Without sufficient strength, or before reaching a level that could catch Ke Wei Li’s eye, releasing her might not be a good thing.
"Anyway, she has been trapped for countless millions of years; a little longer won’t matter."
Sparrowed in his heart, Ling Feng decided not to think further.
After a while, over ten thousand Moon Shadow Fragrance plants were delivered, and Ling Feng collected them all into his Spirit Storage Ring, bidding farewell to the Three Armies Grand Commander Han Li, preparing to set off alone to eliminate the Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch Li Qingling.
With his current strength, there’s no need to bring extra troops; the Northwest Army only needs to handle the aftermath.
However, in his heart, there was a vague sense of unease; the core area of the Blood Spirit Corpse eruption seemed to be precisely Wangduan Mountain, and thus, Tuoba Yan might really encounter Li Qingling before him.
Though Ling Feng had confidence in Tuoba Yan’s strength, the innate unease still caused him concern.
Perhaps, having Tuoba Yan and himself proceed separately was not a wise choice.
