Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 1225: Chapter 5: The Deal

Yansang Town.

Powerful figures from the Four Great Forces arrive one after another.

Outside the small courtyard where Lin Feng lived, countless cultivators had already gathered, pointing and discussing.

Each of the Four Great Forces had a reincarnation realm master present.

Yin Yang Sect, Song Mingyu.

Creation Gate, Zhang Shenmu.

Daotian Sect, Wang Yangzhong.

Sky Shattering Pavilion, Yuwen Dong.

The faces of the four reincarnation realm masters are currently gloomy.

”Melt the ice and revive them,” Song Mingyu said in a deep voice.

Immediately, an alchemist came forward, conjuring flames to dissolve the ice.

Crack, crack.

As the flames burned the ice for a while, the ice cracked and soon shattered.

The bodies of the cultivators frozen in the ice shattered into pieces as well.

”Master, their physical bodies have been completely ruined by the ice, they’re all dead now,” the alchemist said.

”Who exactly is this person? To be so powerful?” Song Mingyu asked with a gloomy expression.

”Brother Song, no need to worry. The painter is currently drawing the cultivator’s appearance based on the owner of this courtyard’s description, soon we’ll know who this person is,” Zhang Shenmu of Creation Gate said.

”Hmm...” Song Mingyu nodded.

Fifteen minutes later, a cultivator hurriedly came over with the finished portrait.

”My lords, please take a look!” The cultivator unfolded the portrait.

The four reincarnation realm masters looked over.

”It’s him!”

Song Mingyu’s eyes lit up sharply.

”Brother Song, do you recognize this person? Who is he?” Wang Yangzhong asked, his heart slightly stirred.

Song Mingyu lowered his voice and said, ”This is Lin Feng.”

”What? He is... that person...”

Zhang Shenmu, Wang Yangzhong, and Yuwen Dong all displayed expressions of surprise and delight.

The three hesitated to speak Lin Feng’s name, as if worried about eavesdroppers.

Seeing Song Mingyu nod, the three’s eyes gleamed with greed.

”Investigate in secret, we must capture that brat, his divine skills and wealth are unimaginable.”

”Indeed, it’s best not to spread this matter, the more people know, the more will want a share.”

”The four of us shall form an alliance, regardless of who captures him, his divine skills and wealth must be shared, not hoarded.”

”Naturally, send trusted people to search for him.”

The four reincarnation realm masters quickly reached an agreement.

...

Gu Yourou felt her body was soft and her mind extremely weary. She struggled to open her eyes, trying for a long time but failing, soon overwhelmed by endless fatigue, she fell back into a slumber. When Gu Yourou awoke again, stars were scattered outside.

”I’m not dead?” Gu Yourou could hardly believe it.

She distinctly remembered being surrounded by the Four Great Forces’ experts before losing consciousness.

It was a situation of certain death. Why hadn’t she died? She also seemed not to be imprisoned. What on earth had happened?

Creak...

The door opened, and Lin Feng walked in.

”Awake now, it seems. Take this elixir, and your body will recover faster.”

Lin Feng placed an elixir on the bedside.

”We didn’t die?” Gu Yourou sat up, incredulous.

Lin Feng nodded, said, ”Of course you didn’t. If you had died, how could we still be talking here?”

Then Lin Feng handed Gu Yourou a bowl of clear water.

Gu Yourou took the elixir, sipped some water, the elixir dissolved rapidly within her, healing her injuries.

Gu Yourou felt much more comfortable, her complexion recovering a hint of blush.

It was then that Gu Yourou noticed her clothes had been changed to clean ones, her face turning bright red.

”Your clothes were bloodstained, I had the lady of the house replace them and treat your wounds, so there’s no need to worry,” Lin Feng said.

Gu Yourou let out a breath, then said, ”Thank you, sir, for saving my life.”

”You saved yourself. If you hadn’t intervened when they were about to kill me, I wouldn’t have cared about your fate. Since you intervened to protect me, I merely returned the favor by saving you,” Lin Feng explained.

Gu Yourou said, ”Had I not sought refuge in the courtyard, you wouldn’t have been discovered by them, nor would have what followed occurred. I actually implicated you, yet you still saved me. How could I be such an ungrateful person? I’ll always remember your kindness.”

Lin Feng replied plainly, ”Since you wish to remember it, then do so. I don’t take it to heart, as it was a trivial matter for me. Now that there’s nothing critically wrong with you, rest for a few days to recover about sixty to seventy percent, then nurture yourself for a few more months for complete recovery. Let’s part here.”

”My lord, please wait,” Gu Yourou called out.

Lin Feng responded helplessly, ”What else do you want?”

Gu Yourou said, ”You have given me a great favor, yet I don’t know your name. Might I ask the name of my savior?”

Lin Feng frowned slightly. He didn’t wish to get involved further with Gu Yourou.

Seeing Lin Feng reluctant to reveal his identity, Gu Yourou felt a bit disappointed. She then looked at Lin Feng and asked, ”Have we met before? In the Immortal Ancient Country?”

Lin Feng asked, ”Why do you ask?”

”You were able to rescue me from many powerful enemies, it shows how formidable you are. Among the young heavenly prides in Central Province, I know most, yet not you. And given the Fire Dragon Eagle Knight’s animosity towards you, which only makes sense if we had a conflict in the Imperial City of Immortal Ancient Country. It suddenly occurred to me that you could be one of the seven or eight hundred loose cultivators who broke through with us, hunted by the Fire Dragon Eagle Knight, and your strength allowed you to kill him, thus becoming enemies? Is my speculation correct?”

Gu Yourou looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded, said, ”I must say, your mind is sharp and clever to connect so many dots, and you are mostly correct.”

Gu Yourou stood up, and slightly bowed to Lin Feng, said, ”May I now know my savior’s name?”

”Lin Feng.”

Gu Yourou was astonished, then said, ”Truly famous name!”

Lin Feng said, ”Merely an undeserved reputation, let’s part here.”

Gu Yourou said, ”My lord, I have an audacious request.”

”Since you call it audacious, don’t bother mentioning it. I don’t wish to bring trouble upon myself,” Lin Feng said.

”Would you truly bear to see me die at the hands of the Four Great Forces?” Gu Yourou said tearfully.

”Aren’t you fine now? With caution, you can surely avoid this calamity,” Lin Feng replied.

Gu Yourou remarked, ”My lord, have you heard of the Nine Apertures Stone Man Heavenly Observation Book?”

Lin Feng stopped, said, ”The Four Great Forces destroyed the Immortal Ancient Country for the Nine Apertures Stone Man?”

”That’s right...” Gu Yourou nodded.

Recalling deceased loved ones, her expression turned sorrowful.

After a pause, Gu Yourou continued, ”If my lord agrees to escort me to a place, I can let you observe the Nine Apertures Stone Man.”

”The Nine Apertures Stone Man is of the Stone Clan, still in incubation, what’s there to observe?” Lin Feng shrugged.

”The Heavenly Book in the Nine Apertures Stone Man’s possession hides great secrets...” Gu Yourou said.

”Fine, deal!”
