Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Cangqiong Sect, Always the Cangqiong Sect of the Sky White Empire! (2nd Update)

”Young Master Ling, how are you feeling?”

Yue Yunlan steadied Ling Feng’s body, seeing his pale face and blood seeping from his seven orifices, she quickly took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the fresh blood from his face.

”I... I’m alright.”

Ling Feng took a deep breath and slowly pulled out the Golden Needle embedded in his acupoint. His body shuddered violently a few times before he finally caught his breath.

It turned out that Ling Feng had used the Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Technique to block his six senses and simultaneously stimulate his body’s potential, thus resisting the killing move of the Lei Family Ancestor.

However, this acupuncture technique came at the cost of consuming a great amount of life force, which was why Ling Feng was so weakened.

Originally, this technique was meant to allow critically injured victims to burn their remaining life force in exchange for a brief period of health. At the crisis moment, with no other options, Ling Feng had to resort to this method to unleash his life force.

Fortunately, Ling Feng and Zi Feng could share vitality. Zi Feng had absorbed a large amount of lifespan, so the extent of life force burning was not too big of an impact on Ling Feng.

At most, he would only feel weak for a while.

Taking a few elixirs that restored physical strength from the Spirit Storage Ring, Ling Feng leaned on Yue Yunlan’s shoulder, barely maintaining his stance, and gritted his teeth, ”Let’s go!”

”Brother Ling, we really owe you big this time for preserving the honor of the Cangqiong Sect.”

Hong Li bowed to Ling Feng and then turned to look at the wicked Nangong Yin and said sternly, ”Young Master Nangong, I, Hong Li, am here under orders to bring you back.”

”Hmph! Just a few cats and dogs?”

Nangong Yin, lying on Yuu Qian’s back, glanced at Ling Feng and the others, then coldly snorted with a hateful tone, ”You all, what are you waiting for? Go and kill all those bastards, leave no one alive!”

With a ferocious expression, Nangong Yin fiercely said, ”For daring to capture this young master, all of those Lei family’s bastards must die!”

Upon hearing this, Hong Li and the others felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, wishing they could knock this spoiled heir unconscious with a punch.

Is this guy insane?

After all the sacrifice made by Ling Feng to resolve the matter, what was this fool trying to do?

”Young Master Nangong, let’s just leave!”

Hong Li gave an awkward smile towards Nangong Yin.

”Stop your nagging, if I tell you to kill, then kill. Why all the nonsense! You’re just dogs raised by the Cangqiong Sect!”

Saying that, Nangong Yin slapped Hong Li across the face with the back of his hand, coldly saying, ”I am the Heir of Prince Jing of the Tianyang Empire. The fact that I allow you to work for me is an honor!”

Hong Li, who was also a Divine Origin Realm powerhouse, received a slap from this spoiled heir, turning his face instantly dark with rage. He lowered his head, fearing that one more glance at that fool would make him unable to resist killing him with a sword!

”What are you standing around for? Are you all deaf?”

Hong Li clenched his fists tightly, remaining silent. For a while, the whole garden echoed only with Nangong Yin’s continuous, irritating nagging.

”Enough! Shut up, you Divine Beast!”

Despicable Donkey didn’t care about his status or identity, and slapped Nangong Yin hard, sending him sprawling.

Nangong Yin only felt darkness before his eyes, not even seeing what had happened when he collapsed to the ground, knocked out by the slap.

Hong Li’s mouth twitched slightly, only this ”Divine Donkey” dared to act this way.

”Always whining. If it were up to my original temper, I’d have twisted his head right off!”

Despicable Donkey stomped a few times on Nangong Yin before turning to walk toward Ling Feng, casually saying, ”Kid, I took care of a retard for you, no need to thank me too much!”

Ling Feng shook his head with a smile, his complexion gradually recovering some color under Zi Feng’s vitality infusion, ”Alright, let’s head to the inn first. I reckon the Lei Family won’t go back on their word.”

As the group approached the entrance of the Lei Residence, the Lei Family Ancestor was waiting at the gate. He glanced at Ling Feng and then turned to Yue Yunlan, saying solemnly, ”Miss Yue, I understand the importance of family and country, but this young man is ruthless and vengeful. Even if he returns to the Tianyang Empire, I fear for my Lei Family... Ah, never mind!”

”Please rest assured, elder. If this man dares to seek revenge, the disciples of the Cangqiong Sect will chase him to the ends of the earth to ensure his head falls!” Yue Yunlan bowed to the Lei Family Ancestor and declared, ”The Cangqiong Sect is always the Cangqiong Sect of the Sky White Empire.”

With that, Yue Yunlan supported Ling Feng, and the group quickly left, soon disappearing at the end of the street.

”The Cangqiong Sect, always the Cangqiong Sect of the Sky White Empire...” The Lei Family Ancestor muttered to himself before heaving a long sigh. ”Ah, I hope so!”

...

Soon, they arrived at the rendezvous point, where Qiaoqiao and Tuoba Cheng among others were waiting near the inn.

”Miss!”

Upon seeing Yue Yunlan return, Qiaoqiao ran up to her excitedly but then noticed Ling Feng leaning weakly against Yue Yunlan’s shoulder. She couldn’t help frowning and asked in surprise, ”Miss, what happened to this fool?”

Yue Yunlan bit her silver teeth, ”It’s a long story, let’s first take Young Master Ling back to the inn to rest.”

”Back to the inn? Aren’t we leaving the city overnight?” Qiaoqiao asked, puzzled.

”No need, there won’t be any pursuers,” Yue Yunlan sighed softly. ”Let Young Master Ling rest for the night.”

”Oh.” Qiaoqiao nodded, noting that the usually calm Miss was unusually flustered today, a sight she had never seen before.

Shortly after, the group returned to the inn.

Ling Feng rested for a while and soon his condition was not much of a concern.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Yue Yunlan sitting next to a round table in the room, her eyebrows deeply furrowed, and her gaze fixed on him.

”Young Master Ling, you’re awake.”

When she saw Ling Feng open his eyes, Yue Yunlan shifted her gaze, looking somewhat shy. She bit her teeth and said, ”Then... I’ll be going.”

”Have you... been watching over me the whole time?”

Ling Feng looked at Yue Yunlan. It seemed like this wasn’t the first time.

A warm surge flowed through his heart; after his grandfather had disappeared, who else cared for him like this?

”No... not really.” Yue Yunlan fiddled with the corner of her clothes. ”By the way, Young Master Ling, would you like some water?”

”Oh...” Ling Feng nodded. ”Yes, please.”

Yue Yunlan, somewhat flustered, poured a cup of hot water for Ling Feng and handed it to him. Their eyes met, and they fell into a moment of silent mutual gaze.

Ling Feng took the cup and said softly, ”Thank you.”

”The one who should be thanking is me,” Yue Yunlan bit her lip, ”Young Master Ling, I really don’t know how to thank you for this time.”

”I’ve said it before, consider it a repayment for the time you saved me by the creek,” Ling Feng said, somewhat awkwardly scratching the back of his head.

”Is that all it is?” A hint of disappointment flickered in Yue Yunlan’s eyes as she bit her silver teeth. ”Then I won’t disturb your rest.”

”Oh, okay.” Ling Feng smiled and said, ”I’ll see you out.”

”You don’t have to.” Yue Yunlan slowly stood up, her movement as graceful as a lotus step. She walked to the door and said, ”Young Master Ling, see you tomorrow morning.”

”Tomorrow morning, see you.”

Then, with a ”clang,” the door closed, and Ling Feng, holding the teacup in his hand, couldn’t help but sigh softly.
