Free Web NovelChapter 1591: Elder Cang Yue
Ling Feng withdrew the Devouring Flame Domain and raised his brows, turning toward the Despicable Donkey's side. He discovered that the fellow had still not finished the battle.
Drawing the Void Twin Blades directly, he charged into the crowd and cut through the Blood Shadow Alliance disciples as though slicing melons and vegetables, eliminating them with astonishing speed.
The entire process lasted no more than thirty breaths.
And even that pace had been slowed down by the Despicable Donkey.
"You brat, that's completely unfair! It doesn't count! That round doesn't count!"
The Despicable Donkey howled in frustration. He had to kill with his hooves, while Ling Feng simply released a Devouring Flame Domain and everyone inside burned themselves to death.
How was anyone supposed to compete with that?
"It is not like losing costs you anything," Ling Feng rolled his eyes and replied flatly.
"The loss is small, but face is everything! Does this divine beast not care about dignity?"
The Despicable Donkey spoke with righteous indignation.
Qingping Fairy looked at the man and donkey before her, her beautiful eyes filled with nothing but shock.
Terrifying.
Ling Feng's strength could only be described with that one word.
Her worry for the Unrivaled Young Emperor deepened further. If they truly fought, would Senior Brother Qin even be able to take a single punch from Ling Feng?
Naturally, Ling Feng paid no attention to Qingping Fairy's thoughts. He scanned the surroundings and was just about to move when his brows suddenly lifted.
"Senior Brother Xu?"
Ling Feng was startled.
Within his perception, he discovered Xu Xinghe hiding one li away.
The seventy to eighty Blood Shadow Alliance disciples had suddenly died, and Xu Xinghe, who had been concealed within the canyon wall, cautiously crawled out to inspect the situation, only to be noticed by Ling Feng's soul sense.
From Chu Tiange, Ling Feng had heard that Xu Xinghe had suffered an enemy ambush while rescuing others and had been blasted until he was barely clinging to life, his flesh mangled and bloody. Yet now he was still alive?
Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence!
In the next instant, Ling Feng understood. Back in the Hall of War, he had distributed a bottle of Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence to every member of his team, including Xu Xinghe.
As a spiritual liquid, Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence possessed miraculous effects for treating external injuries. It seemed that had saved Xu Xinghe's life.
The man truly had fate on his side.
After a moment's thought, Ling Feng did not reveal himself immediately and instead observed in secret.
Xu Xinghe, seeing the surrounding Blood Shadow Alliance disciples suddenly dead, lit up with excitement. He returned to the canyon wall and from a crevice carried out a pale-faced old woman.
Her aura was weak, and she wore a gray robe embroidered with a crescent moon emblem on the shoulder.
That symbol signified she was an elder of the Illusory Moon Divine Hall. As one of the Upper Three Halls, any elder of the Illusory Moon Divine Hall would possess cultivation at least above the fifth level of the Divine Destiny Realm.
A powerhouse of that caliber could dominate a region outside, yet now she had fallen into such misery that even Human Emperor level Blood Shadow Alliance disciples had trapped her in this canyon.
Soon after, several more disciples in robes of varying colors emerged. There were one or two disciples from nearly every one of Dongling Immortal Pool's Eight Halls, but all were either heavily wounded or visibly exhausted.
They were clearly at the end of their strength. Without rescue, they would all die.
Ling Feng described the old woman's appearance to Qingping Fairy. After thinking for a moment, she said slowly, "That should be Elder Cang Yue of the Illusory Moon Divine Hall. She is a sixth level Divine Destiny Realm expert. Even she was injured?"
"And not lightly, from the look of it."
Ling Feng pursed his lips. Among the Illusory Moon Divine Hall, he only knew two people. One was the little witch Jiang Biyi, and the other was Hui Yue Saint Lady.
No, there was a third now. Tuoba Yan also counted as part of the Illusory Moon Divine Hall.
"Then what are we waiting for? We should hurry over!"
Qingping Fairy urged anxiously.
Ling Feng, however, did not move. He frowned and said in a low voice, "Wait."
If he stepped out now, as a disciple of Dongling Immortal Pool, he would inevitably fall under Elder Cang Yue's authority.
If she ordered him to escort them all out of the Forbidden Divine Domain, would that not be asking for trouble?
After all, his original purpose was to rescue Lin Mu, Li Fei, and the others. Saving the rest of Dongling Immortal Pool's disciples was merely incidental.
He had never considered himself a saint. Relationships had degrees of closeness. Naturally, he would save those closer to him first.
Meanwhile, the trapped Dongling Immortal Pool disciples also understood that lingering here was dangerous. Though morale was low, each forced themselves to gather what strength remained and prepare to rendezvous with their mysterious savior.
Xu Xinghe struggled beneath the old woman's weight and said in a low voice, "Elder Cang Yue, it looks like we've been saved. We must withdraw at once."
Elder Cang Yue nodded weakly. Then her old eyes suddenly snapped open and turned toward Ling Feng's direction.
As a sixth level Divine Destiny Realm expert, even with her spiritual consciousness sealed, her perception remained formidable.
"Friend over there, you were the one who killed these Blood Shadow Alliance disciples, were you not?"
Her eyes were solemn as she forced herself upright, leaning on Xu Xinghe's shoulder as she stepped forward.
Xu Xinghe's expression shifted.
For Elder Cang Yue to address the hidden figure as "friend," using the form of address for an equal, and with such caution in her expression, it was obvious she deeply feared that mysterious powerhouse.
Ling Feng frowned. He had no desire to waste time with these people.
"Ling Feng, what are you hesitating for? They are fellow disciples. We should go out."
Qingping Fairy bit her lip. Without waiting for Ling Feng to explain, she jumped down from his back and ran toward Elder Cang Yue.
"Foolish woman!"
Ling Feng frowned deeply. Was she naïve, or simply stupid?
Sighing softly, he had no choice but to follow.
Regardless of whether the other party was an elder or not, no one was going to dictate his decisions.
The Dongling Immortal Pool disciples quickly saw who approached. Xu Xinghe clenched his fists in excitement.
"Excellent! It is Junior Brother Ling Feng!"
Most present had heard of Ling Feng's name. After all, this mysterious outer sect disciple who had earned the greatest merit in the Hall of War and then dared stand up the Sect Master Supreme himself had become famous throughout Dongling Immortal Pool.
"So he is Ling Feng?"
Elder Cang Yue's expression changed slightly.
Her earlier fearful and respectful demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by the lofty posture of one in authority.
Soon both groups joined together.
Qingping Fairy stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "Disciple Yu Qingping greets Elder Cang Yue."
"Mhm."
Elder Cang Yue nodded. Qingping Fairy ranked within the top twenty of the Creation Star Ranking, so Elder Cang Yue naturally knew of her. As for Ling Feng, his name was even more widely known.
Ling Feng also walked over.
The moment Xu Xinghe saw him, he rushed forward and grabbed Ling Feng's arm with both hands.
"Junior Brother Ling Feng, it really is you! Hahaha!"
Ling Feng smiled and shook his head. He had thought Xu Xinghe dead, so seeing him alive and kicking brought a smile to his face as well. He lightly punched Xu Xinghe in the chest.
"Senior Brother Xu, glad to see you alive."
But Elder Cang Yue abruptly interrupted in an untimely manner.
"What exactly happened just now? Why are you here? Did the Sect Master Supreme send people to rescue us?"
The rapid barrage of questions immediately irritated Ling Feng.
This was precisely why he had not wanted to reunite with Xu Xinghe and the others.
He simply disliked the inner sect elders' perpetual attitude of superiority and arrogance.
