Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

”Hmm?”

Ling Feng looked up and sized up the little servant, nodded slightly, and said indifferently, ”I am Ling Feng, is there something you need?”

”Oh, yes, my master has invited you to the inn for a chat!”

The little servant said with a smile.

”Your master?” Ling Feng raised his hand and touched his nose, ”Who is your master? Do I know him?”

”The master instructed me, if you asked that, to respond that you’ll naturally know when you meet him.” The little servant said slowly.

”Lead the way ahead then.”

Ling Feng nodded, observing that the little servant didn’t seem to have any ill intentions. Moreover, since they were within the Blood Road Inn, with Elder Hai overseeing it, everything should be safe.

With the little servant paving the way, Ling Feng and a few others quickly made their way into the Blood Road Inn.

Comparatively, the inside was slightly less crowded than outside.

After all, the forces of the Three Great Sword Mansions had temporarily moved into the Blood Road Inn. Besides the disciples of the Three Great Sword Mansions, only those strong enough to reach Saint Level were qualified to stay at the Blood Road Inn.

The little servant led Ling Feng directly to the third floor of the Blood Road Inn. Although it was still an Earth Castle, it was much cleaner and tidier compared to the hall below, with a noticeably higher standard of decor and furnishings.

In the center of the hall on the third floor sat a few elders, among whom Ling Feng recognized Zhuge Qingtian, the clan elder of the Zhuge Family.

Standing behind Zhuge Qingtian was a young maiden, his granddaughter, Zhuge Wan’er.

Besides the clan elders of the Zhuge Family, there were elders from several other clans present, all accompanied by their outstanding descendants, with an obvious purpose.

The news of the Divine Dragon manifesting in the Blood-colored Ancient Land had almost spread throughout the West Sword Domain, and everyone was convinced that there was a great opportunity within the Blood-colored Ancient Road.

These elders, naturally with some private ambitions, brought some outstanding young members of their families while investigating here. If they happened upon an opportunity, it would be their fortune.

”So it is Senior Zhuge!”

Ling Feng stepped forward and cupped his hands in salute to Zhuge Qingtian, then gave a fist salute to the other clan elders, saying indifferently, ”Junior Ling Feng greets the seniors!”

Zhuge Qingtian stroked his long beard and smiled slightly, ”Little friend Ling Feng, you truly are a person of great destiny! Coinciding with the appearance of unprecedented opportunities in the Blood-colored Ancient Road, you just happened to be here!”

”Hehe! It’s merely a coincidence!”

Ling Feng’s mouth twitched slightly. Creating the Avatar of the Great Wilderness Domain Dragon had genuinely consumed a portion of the dragon’s essence blood. He still feels a bit of pain thinking about it.

That drop of essence blood was indeed comparable to a majestic creation.

”Coincidence or luck, the power of destiny within you is indeed far above that of ordinary people.”

Zhuge Qingtian squinted his eyes with a smile and continued, ”By the way, I have yet to introduce you. This is the owner of the Blood Road Inn, Hai Qinglan, Elder Hai! More than a hundred years ago, he was a famous figure echoing throughout the West Sword Domain!”

Following Zhuge Qingtian’s gaze, Ling Feng saw an elderly man, seated in his place.

The old man had a rare head of blue long hair and appeared very dignified. His appearance had slight differences compared to normal people, with a slightly higher nose bridge and more recessed eye sockets, not typical of the West Sword Domain’s natives.

”So you are Elder Hai.”

Ling Feng bowed to Elder Hai, ”During the previous conflict with the Blood Road Five Wolves, I hadn’t had the chance to thank Elder Hai in person.”

”Anyone causing trouble within my Blood Road Inn, this old one will step forward, no need for politeness.”

The expression on Elder Hai’s face was like eternal ice, although well-concealed, Ling Feng still detected slight displeasure.

”Haha, after all these years, Brother Hai is as aloof as ever!”

Zhuge Qingtian chuckled and then smiled at Ling Feng, ”Kid Feen, during your training in the Blood-colored Ancient Road, did you discover anything special?”

At this, everyone’s eyes fixated on Ling Feng, clearly showing great interest in the situation within the Blood-colored Ancient Road.

”As for something special, the sudden appearance of the Blood Moon last night could be one,”

Ling Feng tried to remain calm, speaking in deep tones, ”When the Blood Moon suddenly appeared, the Blood Clan went berserk, their strength increasing dramatically. If it weren’t for good luck, I fear I’d be done for.”

”Only the Blood Moon?” Zhuge Qingtian continued to ask.

”Later, I also heard a Dragon Roar. The body of that dragon was indeed enormous, but it appeared for less than three breaths and then disappeared. I couldn’t see it clearly.”

Ling Feng said indifferently.

”I see...”

Zhuge Qingtian’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment, then slowly said, ”Never mind, the Divine Dragon Dharma Form is inherently fleeting. You seem quite fatigued, so go and rest. There’s still one vacant room left, you can stay there for now.”

”Uh, just one room left?” Ling Feng looked back. Sharing a room with Chu Chaonan wasn’t an issue, but with Yeu Junyao, it was less convenient.

”Hehe.”

Zhuge Qingtian glanced at Yeu Junyao, smiling lightly, ”If this young lady doesn’t mind, squeezing in with my granddaughter should be fine, right?”

”Grandpa!”

Before Yeu Junyao could speak, Zhuge Wan’er objected first, shaking her head repeatedly towards Zhuge Qingtian, who simply ignored her.

”Who’s going to stay with her!”

Yeu Junyao was also quite proud. Seeing Zhuge Wan’er’s unhappy expression, her bad temper naturally flared up.

”Not with her, then do you wish to stay with us?”

Chu Chaonan rubbed his hands with a sleazy smile, ”Well, I wouldn’t mind!”

Yeu Junyao’s lips twitched a few times. Weighing her options, being an unmarried young lady, sharing a room with two men like Ling Feng and Chu Chaonan wouldn’t bode well for her reputation.

Having no other choice, Yeu Junyao decided to stay with Zhuge Wan’er.

Anyway, with her skills, she could easily handle Zhuge Wan’er. She’ll soon understand who the boss is.

”Then, I shall rest for now.”

With the housing issue resolved, Ling Feng didn’t linger and bid farewell to Zhuge Qingtian, heading to his room to rest.

Zhuge Wan’er reluctantly took Yeu Junyao back to the room. Once Ling Feng and the others left, Zhuge Qingtian turned to Hai Qinglan, asking in a solemn tone, ”Brother Hai, you’ve been lurking outside the Blood-colored Ancient Road for many years, probably no one understands the situation inside better than you. Even you don’t know how to open that Secret Treasure?”

”If I knew, I would’ve taken it and left by now.”

Hai Qinglan’s face was ashen. His lurking here was not just simple seclusion.

Within the Blood-colored Ancient Road, ancient legends speak of a Secret Treasure hidden by an ancient great power. Sadly, no one has found it over the millennia.

Gradually, as time passed, people gave up searching.

Decades ago, Hai Qinglan obtained a broken Map Fragment, realizing the Secret Treasure might be real. That’s why he chose to reside at the Blood Road Inn. In fact, he often enters the Blood-colored Ancient Road to search.

Unfortunately, after decades, he’s found nothing.

Recently, he finally had a slight clue, but with the Divine Dragon’s appearance, experts across the West Sword Domain were alerted, all flocking to the Blood-colored Ancient Road for a share of the opportunity.

Hai Qinglan couldn’t be less pleased.

”It doesn’t matter. The Divine Dragon’s appearance signifies the advent of opportunity. Perhaps the Secret Treasure will truly surface.”

Zhuge Qingtian smiled faintly, saying no more.

As for opportunities, all they could do now was patiently await the right moment.
