Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Earth Fire Flame Ghost!

Escape?

Ling Feng’s brows furrowed deeply, the word ”escape” filled with endless confusion.

Why did Grandfather want him to escape?

And from what was Grandfather escaping?

Ling Feng clenched his fists, vaguely feeling as if an invisible giant hand was closing in, grabbing him tightly, preventing him from catching his breath.

Did the Ling Family have any other enemies?

His first thought was of the Eastern Capital Yan Family, but since they had once driven his grandfather away, it indicated that they were no longer interested in him and his grandfather.

What else could there be?

Ling Feng felt bewildered. Although he was a successor to the Medical Saint, he knew almost nothing about the affairs of the Ling Family.

He was ignorant of the Blood of the Emperor that coursed through his veins.

Even his own parents were a mystery to him.

Yet, he had a vague sense that the disappearance of Ling Kun might be connected to the awakening of his Emperor’s Eye.

There was no reason for it; it was simply an intuition!

”Kid Feng, what on earth is going on?” Wen Tingguang saw that Ling Feng’s expression was extremely abnormal and couldn’t help but ask.

”It’s nothing. Grandfather has already left,” Ling Feng replied, propping himself on the table and biting his lower lip hard, a nameless pain seizing his heart.

”Kid, are you alright?” Wen Tingguang blinked and looked at the wooden table, ”Is there something written on it?”

”Nothing.” Ling Feng took a deep breath, quickly regained his composure, and with one palm, he smashed the wooden table into smithereens.

The message on it was not to be seen by anyone else.

Ling Feng was not stupid; on the contrary, he was very clever.

Grandfather had left him with the word ”escape,” and though its meaning was unclear, it was undoubtedly a dangerous signal.

An unknown crisis was descending, and Grandfather had realized this danger and so reminded him to flee.

Everything was unknown; where should he escape to?

Ling Feng took a deep breath, his fists clenched tighter than ever, his heart yearning for strength more than any other time.

In any case, only by becoming powerful would he be able to resolve any crisis.

”Grandfather, please be safe!”

Ling Feng silently prayed; at this moment, all he could do was pray.

Wen Tingguang could not understand Ling Feng’s actions, but he guessed that Ling Feng must have learned some very bad news.

With a soft sigh, Wen Tingguang walked to one side, not disturbing Ling Feng. In such times, it was better to let him have some peace alone.

Ling Feng did not dwell on his feelings for too long. Amidst the vast sea of people, there was no trace of Ling Kun to be found.

The only clue lay in the latter part of the ”Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Technique” Grandfather Ling Hanyang had left at the Yan Family.

Therefore, the most important thing right now was to enhance his own strength to have the capability to retrieve that ”Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Technique”!

”Brother Wen, let’s go,” said Ling Feng as he walked out of the room, greeting Wen Tingguang who was sitting quietly to one side.

At that moment, Ling Feng’s demeanour had returned to the usual calm serenity.

”Aren’t you going to search for your grandfather?” Wen Tingguang quickly approached Ling Feng, speaking in a grave tone, ”If there’s anything you need help with, feel free to ask your big brother here.”

”No need, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack, where would I even start?” Ling Feng took a deep breath, ”Let’s go, we’ll continue back to Wenxian Sect.”

”Right, if you can let it go, that’s for the best.” Wen Tingguang patted Ling Feng on the shoulder, ”Let’s go, that’s the Ling Feng I know.”

Without any further delay, the two set off again for the Wenxian Sect. Before leaving, Ling Feng warned the inn’s waiter not to tell anyone about his visit, or he might fear for his life.

After receiving Ling Feng’s silver taels and a few threatening words, the waiter immediately swore to keep the day’s events a secret, to let them die with him.

Wen Tingguang witnessed all this and couldn’t help but feel that Ling Feng was becoming more mysterious by the day, but since Ling Feng didn’t speak up, he wouldn’t pry.

Everyone had their secrets. In friendship, one didn’t always have to unearth everything.

...

About half a day later, as the sun was setting, Wen Tingguang spotted a small mountain village in the distance.

”Let’s rest there for the night.”

Wen Tingguang could tell that, although Ling Feng seemed to have let go on the surface, he was probably still thinking about his grandfather.

From Ling Feng’s attitude towards his Master, Wen Tingguang could tell that despite his cold exterior, Ling Feng was a man of deep affection and loyalty.

”That’s fine.” Ling Feng nodded. At their current pace, they would likely return to the Wenxian Sect by tomorrow. It was a good time to rest for the night to replenish their energy.

Just then, a series of tragic screams emerged from the distance, birds scattered from their nests, and an uneasy atmosphere filled the deep forest.

”Hmm?”

Ling Feng and Wen Tingguang exchanged glances, both startled.

In the next instant, a towering column of fiery flames erupted from the depths of the forest, rising to the sky. The scorching heat radiated in all directions.

Boom boom boom!

The ground trembled as if a huge object was awakening. The immense power caused rocks to collapse and the ground to shake intensely.

Even though separated by several mountains, they could see a monster engulfed in raging flames breaking through the ground, straightening its huge body.

That monster looked like a giant, standing dozens of meters tall, with two horns on its head. From its nostrils, it ”huff puff” exhaled blistering breaths.

”What kind of monster is that?” Ling Feng looked from afar at the monster with a ferocious face, a tawny mane on its back covering most of its body, looking like an enlarged human but with certain dissimilar features.

Even though they were thousands of feet apart, Ling Feng could feel the temperature around him rising rapidly, and sweat flowed down his body.

”It’s an Earth Fire Flame Ghost!”

Wen Tingguang’s brows furrowed slightly, and a flash of blue light formed a protective barrier around Ling Feng, keeping out the searing air. Only then did Ling Feng breathe a sigh of relief.

”Earth Fire Flame Ghost? Is that also a type of demon?” Ling Feng looked at the massive creature with a sense of dread.

If it weren’t for Wen Tingguang being there, Ling Feng would have chosen to flee immediately.

”It’s not a mere demon but a member of the Demon Clan. It was originally the essence of Earth Veins that absorbed the power of Earth Vein Magma and slowly evolved before transforming into this. It looks like this Flame Ghost has been cultivating for over a thousand years.”

Wen Tingguang spoke gravely, ”I fear that even I might not be able to suppress this Earth Fire Flame Ghost easily.”

Ling Feng’s face revealed shock. Although he did not know the specifics of Wen Tingguang’s cultivation, his position in the Cangqiong Sect indicated his formidable strength.

The extent of the terror of a monster that even he was uncertain of handling, Ling Feng could only imagine.

”Since we’ve encountered this evil being, it’s not in our nature to ignore it.”

Wen Tingguang narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the Earth Fire Flame Ghost and declared solemnly, ”Brother Ling Feng, we’re not too far from Wenxian Sect. You should go back on your own. I’ll deal with this Earth Fire Flame Ghost first!”

The Human Clan and the Demon Clan were always at odds. A high-level member of the Demon Clan in human territory meant that all cultivators were duty-bound to annihilate it.

As an Elder of the Cangqiong Sect, it was even more incumbent upon Wen Tingguang not to shrink back.

After speaking, without waiting for Ling Feng to respond, Wen Tingguang’s figure flashed away, flying towards the Earth Fire Flame Ghost, leaving Ling Feng with only the image of his resolute back.
