Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 1098: Chapter 12: A Beast in Human Disguise

Swish.

After the group of Nine Nether Killers from the Assassin Dynasty left, the void trembled, and Lin Feng stepped out from within.

These Nine Nether Killers are most skilled in Concealing Skills.

However, even they couldn’t detect Lin Feng lurking here.

”Just as I thought, Ning Hanshuang is plotting against me—she actually made contact with the people of the Assassin Dynasty. Truly surprising,” Lin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.

The Assassin Dynasty has accepted commissions to assassinate him three times in a row but failed each time.

According to the Assassin Dynasty’s code of conduct, after three consecutive failures, Lin Feng will become a key assassination target. At that time, Nine Nether Killers will come relentlessly until Lin Feng is killed.

”These people are just small fries. The truly formidable figures have yet to appear,” Lin Feng frowned slightly.

He then thought of the woman, Ning Hanshuang.

Were her words really lies?

Lin Feng felt otherwise.

Perhaps Ning Hanshuang wanted to plot against him, kill him, and take his head to join the Assassin Dynasty.

However, Lin Feng believed that what Ning Hanshuang had said, her tragic past, might very well be true.

Of course, whether those things are true or not, Lin Feng doesn’t care.

He has no time to care about what a woman trying to kill him has gone through.

...

Late night.

Huang Ling’er and the handsome man Lin Feng had met earlier arrived at a small courtyard in the northwest corner of Ao Tian Ancient City.

The handsome man was named Xia Zichao, he was the grandson of an elder from the Bixia Sect.

The Bixia Sect is an ancient sect in South County Changzhou.

This South County Changzhou is located in the southern part of East County Divine Land. This state has three ancient sects, far more powerful than those in East County Divine Land.

Five years ago, by a stroke of luck, Huang Ling’er saved an injured middle-aged female cultivator.

That female cultivator was the daughter of a Great Elder from the Bixia Sect, she brought Huang Ling’er to South County Changzhou for cultivation.

This time, coming to South County Changzhou with Xia Zichao, Huang Ling’er was on a mission, not even going home to see her family.

”Junior Xia Zichao, Junior Huang Ling’er, request an audience with Senior...” They both said respectfully outside the courtyard.

”Come in!”

As the words fell, with a creaking sound, the courtyard door opened of its own accord.

The two entered cautiously, seeing the door to the room was open. A ghostly light flickered inside, sending a chill into Xia Zichao and Huang Ling’er’s hearts. They lowered their heads, not daring to look at the ghostly light within the room.

”Did you bring the Netherworld Jade?” an eerie voice echoed from inside the room.

”We did!” Huang Ling’er said, taking out a white jade box and opening it to reveal three pieces of black jade stone inside.

”Are you Yang Lu’s disciple?” the presence inside the room inquired.

Yang Lu was the injured middle-aged female cultivator whom Huang Ling’er had saved before.

Huang Ling’er quickly responded, ”Yes!”

”Yang Lu has already informed me of some matters concerning you and what you need in exchange. Here is a bottle of Heavenly Moon Falling Divine Pill, thirty-six pills in total. Take one every ten days. Once you’ve finished all thirty-six pills, you should be able to enter the Yin Yang Realm. After entering the Yin Yang Realm, go into seclusion for three years. By that time, you should be able to refine the unabsorbed medicinal power settled in your body. Once refined, your cultivation should rise to around the seventh or eighth heaven of the Yin Yang Realm.” The mysterious figure inside the room spoke, indicating a long life, as they referred to the nearly two-thousand-year-old Yang Lu as a girl.

In the next moment, a porcelain bottle flew out, evidently containing the Heavenly Moon Falling Divine Pill.

Subsequently, a suction force emerged, pulling the white jade box containing Netherworld Jade to it.

”Thank you, Senior...”

Huang Ling’er was overjoyed, hastily bowing in respect.

”No need to thank me. This is a deal between me and your Master’s Master. Originally, Yang Lu would come for her needed benefits—this time, she sent you instead, which shows she quite likes you.” The mysterious presence spoke calmly, referring to Yang Lu’s father as the Master’s Master.

”And you, young man, since you accompanied Huang Ling’er here, you also have some merit. As a reward, here is a bottle of Dragon Power Divine Blood Pill, twelve in total. Take one a month. After consumption, it will enhance your blood energy tenfold, and your strength will also increase tenfold. Though the Dragon Power Divine Blood Pill cannot help you break through into the Yin Yang Realm, the substantial increase in your blood energy will surely allow you to break through after a few years of hard cultivation!”

As the words fell, another porcelain bottle flew out and landed in Xia Zichao’s hands.

Xia Zichao also expressed deep gratitude.

”Alright, you may leave!”

...

”Farewell, Senior!”

...

The two of them bowed and retreated.

”I plan to go home for a visit, Senior Brother. What about you?” Huang Ling’er asked.

Xia Zichao replied, ”Since there’s nothing else, I’ll accompany Junior Sister home as well.”

”It’s been five years since I left with my master, and I haven’t been back. Let’s buy a Gryphon Beast and ride it through the night to hurry our journey,” Huang Ling’er suggested.

Xia Zichao nodded, and together they headed toward the market. As they neared the market, a river inside the city appeared, and they started crossing the bridge. At this moment, seeing no one around, Xia Zichao struck Huang Ling’er on the back, sending her flying more than ten meters away.

Wow!

Huang Ling’er spat out a mouthful of blood, her face pale as paper.

She fell to the ground, unable to move.

”Senior Brother Xia, why did you ambush me?” Huang Ling’er looked at Xia Zichao with a mix of shock and anger.

Xia Zichao sneered, ”Originally, I didn’t want to harm you, but you got all thirty-six Heavenly Moon Falling Divine Pills, and I only got twelve Dragon Power Divine Blood Pills. I’m not satisfied. I want to get those Heavenly Moon Falling Divine Pills, so I have to attack you to take them.”

”Aren’t you afraid my master will find out? By then, you won’t have a burial place,” Huang Ling’er said, her face pale.

”Afraid? I’ll just say we encountered thugs, and you were killed by them. Didn’t your master almost get killed back then after taking treasures from that Old Ghost? Your master shouldn’t doubt this reason, right? Even if she suspects, it doesn’t matter. She has no evidence I killed you,” Xia Zichao said with a sneer.

”You beast in human clothing, I curse you to die a miserable death.” Huang Ling’er cursed Xia Zichao with a look of utter despair.

”Why bother? If curses worked, people wouldn’t be so obsessed with murder and robbery in this world!”

Xia Zichao scoffed, continuing, ”But before I kill you, I’ll destroy you first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Zichao picked up Huang Ling’er, carrying her on his shoulder, and headed toward a nearby grove.
