Chapter 1212: Chapter 1212: The Pursuit of Hao Shuai
Previously, I also heard people from the Celestial Pill Sect say that the Forbidden Land of Lingyun Pavilion is one of the most perilous places there.
"Qiukui, stay close later, don’t let anything happen." Chen Tianlong didn’t know why, but he always wanted to protect her. Having Qiukui by his side felt just like having Lin Wushuang with him. Sometimes, Chen Tianlong was so confused that he almost mistook Qiukui for Lin Wushuang.
"Okay, I got it."
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s concern for her made Wu Mengting feel as if she had eaten honey, her heart filled with sweetness.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Pure Yang Feifei, standing to the side, couldn’t stand it after hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, and inwardly complained: Why is he so concerned about her but doesn’t pay any attention to me? I’m pretty too, and my skills aren’t lacking!
This was Pure Yang Feifei’s thought. If Chen Tianlong knew, he would feel like crying. Having a bunch of women secretly admire you - what a blissful thing!
"Junior sister, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Hao heard Pure Yang Feifei coughing and thought she was unwell, so he asked with concern. freewebnøvel.com
"Huh? Oh, it’s nothing, just the air inside the cave is a bit stagnant, feels a bit stuffy," Pure Yang Feifei made an excuse.
"Yes, that’s true. Alright, let’s quickly find Hao Shuai. It’s not safe to stay here long."
Lin Hao finished speaking and led everyone onward, but this time he and the two junior brothers took the lead. Every few steps, they stopped to observe if there was anything unusual around them.
It’s quite strange. When everyone was on high alert, it seemed like they walked a long way without encountering any traps or mechanisms. Gradually, everyone relaxed their vigilance, thinking they had passed the danger zone.
After walking for a long time, they passed through a hall and immediately discovered a tunnel. This tunnel seemed endless.
Fortunately, there were two torches every dozens of meters in the hidden tunnel. These torches seemed to be the kind that could burn for many years. Chen Tianlong had no interest in studying the basic principle.
After walking for about half an hour, everyone was tired. The journey was mostly along a narrow path, very open inside, with nowhere to hide. It was evident Hao Shuai was very likely to have continued walking inside.
By this time, it was already deep night outside the Forbidden Land. Senior Yun Zhonghe, after observing for a while, felt they wouldn’t come out anytime soon, so he ordered, "Everyone, go back and rest. Come back here early tomorrow to wait."
As he spoke, Senior Yun Zhonghe waved his hand, and everyone dispersed, until only Lin Wushuang was left standing there, anxiously looking towards the pitch-black cave.
"Wushuang, you should also go back and rest. Lin Hao and Feifei are inside; nothing will happen. They are all top experts of the Celestial Dao Seven Stars." Senior Yun Zhonghe also understood Lin Wushuang’s worries and comforted her.
Indeed, upon hearing Senior Yun Zhonghe’s words, Lin Wushuang felt much more at ease. Originally, Chen Tianlong’s martial arts skills were already very strong, and now there were three more experts of the Celestial Dao Seven Stars inside. No matter how powerful Hao Shuai was, he couldn’t do anything to Chen Tianlong.
So, Lin Wushuang smiled and said, "Okay, I’ll go back then."
Location in a certain area of the forbidden cave.
Hao Shuai didn’t know where he had ended up, just that he kept fleeing desperately. After triggering several mechanisms, he fell into an endless abyss and lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he saw a magnificent scene.
In front of him was a towering cave, with four monstrous stone pillars supporting the round stone ceiling. Directly beneath the stone ceiling was the ancestral tomb of Lingyun Pavilion’s ancestors, surrounded by crystal coffins emitting a chill. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
This was a massive block of thousand-year-old ice, on top of which the crystal coffins were placed. There were six coffins in total, aligned in two rows of three. Hao Shuai was a bit surprised when he saw this, but he had no time to ponder as he was still being pursued. So he found a place to sit down and took out the Secret Manual of Marrow Cleansing and Bone Cutting.
Hao Shuai excitedly opened the secret manual and started reading it carefully.
"Bone Marrow Cleansing and Bone Cutting involves removing residual impurities from the meridians inside the body using the Heart Method Mantra, purifying martial arts, and greatly increasing one’s power, potentially reaching an unforeseen realm."
Seeing this, Hao Shuai’s eyes widened, "Greatly increase power? An unforeseen realm."
He couldn’t wait to turn to the first Chapter and began practicing according to the techniques and Heart Method outlined.
Soon enough, Hao Shuai felt his face flush red. A mysterious power slowly moved down from the top of his head, as if washing over his entire body repeatedly.
Hao Shuai continued to practice quietly. The site, rich with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, allowed a massive influx of Weather Spiritual Qi into his body as he practiced using the Heart Method of Bone Marrow Cleansing and Bone Cutting.
Forbidden Land tunnel.
Chen Tianlong and his group had been walking for about an hour, feeling both tired and thirsty. Walking at night made them especially sleepy, and the cave’s air was quite stagnant, making everyone feel exhausted after a while.
"Everyone must be tired. Let’s rest here for a bit and drink some water."
After saying this, Chen Tianlong handed his water to Qiukui beside him. At that moment, Chen Tianlong once again mistook her for Lin Wushuang, realizing that he had gotten used to having Wushuang by his side and couldn’t change that in a short time.
Thus, he retracted his hand embarassedly, thinking Wu Mengting probably wouldn’t drink from the water he’d already drunk. But he was wrong.
Just as Chen Tianlong was about to retract his hand, a nimble, tender hand quickly snatched the water from his grasp.
An expert of the Celestial Dao Six Stars indeed differed, even as a girl, her speed was not slower than Chen Tianlong’s.
Unconsciously, Wu Mengting leaned against the cave wall and fell asleep. This girl was strong-willed, disregarding her own safety to protect the person she cared about, now extremely fatigued.
Chen Tianlong looked at Qiukui, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion, and gritted his teeth before slowly moving his shoulder over, letting her rest her head on it.
At this gesture, Wu Mengting startled awake but upon seeing it was Chen Tianlong, she immediately closed her eyes again, pretending not to have awoken and even wrapped her arms around Chen Tianlong’s arm.
Chen Tianlong was first surprised, but seeing Qiukui did not open her eyes, he thought she was really asleep, just subconsciously holding onto something, so he smiled wryly and closed his eyes.
Everyone else was tired too, closing their eyes to rest, except for Pure Yang Feifei watching Qiukui leaning on Chen Tianlong asleep with growing vexation, but she dared not speak lest she disturbed everyone’s rest.
Thus, she kept it to herself, unable to sleep for a long time.
Before long, a booming sound came from ahead, waking everyone from their slumber. With such a shock, everyone was now wide awake, with no hint of sleepiness left.
