Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 826: Chapter 827: Number 1 Grand Steward! (2nd Update)

”Sect Leader, I’m back!”

While Ling Feng was contemplating the plan for the upcoming month, Hong Xiu walked briskly into the courtyard with a cheerful demeanor, clearly in a good mood.

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, knowing that Hong Xiu must have cashed in the betting tickets. Now, with a few tens of millions of yuan crystals, she was undoubtedly quite wealthy.

”It seems things went well on your end,” Ling Feng said with a faint smile.

”Yes, yes.” Hong Xiu nodded vigorously, ”Sect Leader, you truly have divine strategy! Oh, the casinos couldn’t come up with that many elemental crystals all at once, so they issued quite a few promissory notes from the Sky Alliance Commerce...”

”No problem, the reputation of Sky Alliance Commerce is reliable.”

Ling Feng smiled faintly. These elemental crystals were secondary, but knowing that he had won them from the hands of the Empress Dowager brought him great satisfaction.

This old woman, full of lies, was against him despite her status; there was no need to be polite to her for the sake of his grandfather and Elder Yan.

”Sect Leader, here are all the elemental crystals and notes, all stored in this Spirit Storage Ring.”

Hong Xiu handed over the Spirit Storage Ring, but Ling Feng did not accept it, only saying lightly, ”Keep it with you for now, as the sect’s savings.”

”Ah?” Hong Xiu was both flattered and surprised, immediately waving her hands, ”But with so many elemental crystals, I...”

”No worries, I trust you.” Ling Feng gently patted Hong Xiu’s shoulder. Although he was the sect leader in name, most of the time he couldn’t stay in the sect, so he naturally had to groom a few people to help manage it.

Hong Xiu had been by his side for so long and was half his disciple, so she could be trusted.

”Oh.” Hong Xiu nodded, feeling a bit nervous with so many elemental crystals in her possession.

”When our Lingshen Sect grows stronger, you’ll be the chief steward of the sect, managing both money and meals! Haha...”

Ling Feng laughed heartily, having achieved a great victory in the day, his mood was naturally excellent.

Later in the day, the Despicable Donkey also returned with a smug look.

This guy had swiped everything valuable from Yaan Shuying and then went out for a grand feast before returning satisfied.

...

The next day, as planned, Ling Feng returned to the East Courtyard Sword Team’s training ground.

Although they had won the championship of the Four Great Universities Sword Team competition, the most crucial and difficult journey was just beginning.

Royal Sword Team!

These four big words were like four mountains, weighing on the hearts of every team member.

Defeating this legendary sword team, even with Mu Qianxue as a trump card, seemed very difficult in the present situation.

In the Royal Sword Team, the Empire’s youngest genius, famed as the Empire Legend, Yaan Jinghong, was one thing, but even Lio Fenyu, who had once lost to Tuoba Yan, was no ordinary individual.

It could be said that even with Ling Feng’s current strength, going all out, he might only be able to draw with Lio Fenyu.

After all, in the Royal Sword Team’s challenge, Tuoba Yan could not participate, and without the Heavenly Strategy Treasure as a trump card, Ling Feng’s combat power would be significantly reduced.

It’s worth noting that in the Royal Sword Team, Lio Fenyu’s strength was only average!

To defeat the Royal Sword Team, not only Ling Feng, but each team member would need to make a greater breakthrough.

”Ling Feng, yesterday I already exchanged many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the student treasure vault to break through cultivation. In the coming month, I will go into seclusion and simultaneously train in the Infinite Sword Dao you gave me. This match concerns your life. I hope everyone can give their all!”

Goo Tengfeng looked deeply at Ling Feng and said solemnly.

”Captain.” Ling Feng took a deep breath and said slowly, ”Actually, I have three hundred points of military honor, and I hope to take two team members to enter the Ancient Tower Forest to comprehend the Three Thousand Great Dao.”

”Hmm, I understand what you mean,” Goo Tengfeng nodded. ”I don’t need it. Even though I’m the captain, my talent doesn’t compare to Xiao Fan and the others, so let them go.”

”Hehe, I won’t get involved either. It’s Bu Fan, Xiao Fan, and Junior Sister Mu who are crucial,”

Yuu Sixian grinned, ”But unfortunately, even if the boss doesn’t go, we’re still short one spot.”

”Big Brother, I... I won’t go either.” Jiang Xiaofan scratched the back of his head, chuckling naively, ”Big Brother, you know, my brain isn’t as smart as Brother Lee and Junior Sister Mu. I wouldn’t comprehend anything in there, so I’ll just stay and cultivate. Besides, the Giant Spirit War God Bone you gave me is good enough.”

”Xiao Fan, you...” Lee Bufan furrowed his sword-like brows, ”Why do you belittle yourself?”

”Belittle myself?” Jiang Xiaofan blinked, ”Brother Lee, what do you mean by that?”

”...” Lee Bufan’s mouth twitched slightly, this guy...

To be honest, Jiang Xiaofan, who had studied at the Heavenly Position Academy for almost a year and learned quite a lot of words, was still a rough person who would get dizzy when reading.

Those inscriptions in the Ancient Tower Forest, he probably couldn’t comprehend them either.

”Alright, let’s leave it at that.”

Ling Feng shook his head with a smile, ”So it will be Bu Fan and Qianxue going with me to the Ancient Tower Forest.”

Suddenly, Ling Feng thought of Tuoba Yan again and couldn’t help but glance at her beside him; this woman was really a bit troublesome.

”You don’t need to worry.” Tuoba Yan’s lips moved, using the Sound Transmission into Seclusion technique, she slowly said, ”The Red Dust Heart Devouring Gu poison in my body has mostly been cleared. I can now stay further from you without it acting up, as long as the time isn’t too long, it should be fine.”

”Really?” Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched in surprise.

”I wouldn’t joke about my life,” Tuoba Yan replied crossly.

”Then why didn’t you say so earlier...” Ling Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes, muttering.

”You...” Tuoba Yan bit her silver teeth, her pretty face turning slightly red, glaring fiercely at Ling Feng, ”You didn’t ask earlier either!”

”Hehe...”

Ling Feng scratched the back of his head and chuckled. This way, he only needed to take Tuoba Yan to the Northwest Camp and let her wait outside the Ancient Tower Forest, which wouldn’t be much of a problem.

”Then, let’s not delay any further.”

Goo Tengfeng said loudly, ”There isn’t a direct transmission array to the Northwest Camp. You’ll first need to transfer to the nearest Luohai City, then proceed to the Sky-reaching Fortress. After meeting with the Grand Commander and clarifying your identity, you should be able to enter the Ancient Tower Forest to comprehend the Three Thousand Great Dao. I wish you all the best in gaining insights into the Power of Dao.”

”Oh, right, here’s a detailed map for you.” Goo Tengfeng was clearly prepared, handing over a detailed map.

”Thank you.”

Ling Feng smiled carefreely, his heart already filled with anticipation, curious about what the Sky-reaching Fortress and Northwest Camp, as described by Goo Tengfeng, would be like.
