Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 479: Chapter 478: Great Hero

Inside the Beiming Sword Sect, Kun Hai, the experts from the Corpse Spirit Hall, and Beiming Transformation Sea held a discussion. They quickly decided on a method to help the Kunpeng Ancestor emerge.

At the same time, they also devised a grand plan to annihilate the experts of the Southern Wilderness in one fell swoop.

Once their ancestors emerged, the fate of the Southern Wilderness would be sealed.

While Beiming Transformation Sea and his group were plotting, Ling Fei and the others had already returned to the Lingyun Sect.

At the same time, news of what had happened at the North Spirit Platform and the North Spirit Ruins spread throughout the entire Southern Wilderness.

”What?! The Beiming Sword Sect joined forces with the Evil Dao to help the Ancient Kunpeng Demon emerge?”

”Does a Kunpeng Ancient Demon really exist?” Many Cultivators were utterly shocked upon hearing the news.

In their youth, many Cultivators had read books like the Divine Demon Chronicles and the Ancient Emperors’ Records. They knew of the Kunpeng legends.

But these stories were all treated as myths and legends, as beings of pure fantasy.

Who would have thought they were actually real? And now, the people of the Beiming Sword Sect were trying to help this Ancient Demon emerge.

Weren’t they trying to plunge the Southern Wilderness into chaos and bring back the dark ages?

As soon as the news broke, the entire Cultivation Realm of the Southern Wilderness was shaken to its core. A sense of unease settled in everyone’s hearts.

”There really is an Ancient Demon in this world, and it’s trapped in the North Spirit Ruins!” While everyone was still reeling in disbelief, someone came forward to confirm the matter.

Afterward, people began circulating battle scenes that had been recorded on Soul Crystal Stones.

These people were from the Righteous Dao, but also from the five Minor Sects like Thousand Lakes Mountain.

They too had recorded the details of that battle.

”It’s a real Ancient Demon!”

”What a terrifying aura! What Realm has it reached?”

”Heavens, a single wisp of its Split Soul is already this terrifying! If the Kunpeng Ancient Demon fully emerges, who could possibly contend with it?”

When the recordings spread, the Cultivators of the Southern Wilderness were all chilled to the bone.

Although they were just images recorded on Soul Crystals, they still contained the vast Demon’s Might that had been released from the North Spirit Platform.

Now that the Soul Crystal Stones were activated, that might burst forth, making viewers feel as if they were right there.

Some Low Tier Cultivators were even scared to death by the terrifying might.

”Thank goodness the Ancient Human Emperor took action in the end and suppressed this Ancient Kunpeng Demon!”

”Who was that young man who acted earlier? He seemed really powerful, too. If it weren’t for him, I’m afraid even the Ancient Human Emperor wouldn’t have been able to destroy the Kunpeng’s Split Soul!” Although everyone was stunned by the event, the outcome was fortunate. With that thought, the Cultivators of the Southern Wilderness turned their focus to Ling Fei.

Ling Fei’s actions had simply left too deep an impression.

Even though the young man was clearly outmatched, he still didn’t hesitate to give his all multiple times, even burning his Bloodline Power.

Such righteousness was moving.

In the end, it was because of him that the Ancient Human Emperor was able to successfully destroy the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul.

”That young man’s name is Ling Fei! He’s the Southern Wilderness’s own Alchemy and Martial Genius!”

”Ling Fei? You mean that Alchemy Dao genius from the Lingyun Sect?”

”That’s him!”

”I never imagined this Alchemy Dao genius not only possesses peerless talent but also has such a righteous heart. He’s truly admirable!”

”A man like him should be hailed as a hero of our Southern Wilderness!”

”Now *this* is a true hero! If I could, I’d marry my own daughter to him in a heartbeat!”

”Tch, as if your daughter is worthy of such a great hero. Didn’t you see? Even the Lingyun Sect’s Little Sword God, Lian Shuang, was willing to risk her life for him.”

...

In an instant, Ling Fei’s name spread across the entire Southern Wilderness. His fame was no longer limited to the major Sects; even the great clans and prominent families had heard of him.

Ling Fei had become a great hero, admired by all!

After all, while the Southern Wilderness had many geniuses, those like Ling Fei who would fight demons so selflessly, without any regard for their own lives, were exceptionally rare.

Because the more talented a person was, the more they cherished their own life.

Since Ancient Times, there have been far too many cases of geniuses who, fearing for their lives, ended up betraying the Human Race and joining the Demon Dao.

For Ling Fei to act as he did was truly remarkable.

In just two days, Ling Fei’s name spread throughout the Southern Wilderness, becoming known to billions of people.

However, he remained in seclusion during this time.

Both Lian Shuang and Shangguan Wan’Er had come to the Lingyun Sect.

The people of the Lingyun Sect gave Shangguan Wan’Er a very warm welcome.

This was because, at the North Spirit Ruins, Shangguan Wan’Er had revealed how Beiming Transformation Sea had forced her to try to kill Ling Fei.

Yet, before that, she had chosen to bear the burden silently and had not harmed Ling Fei.

This made people see her in a new, more respectful light.

Of course, the one who earned even more admiration was Lian Shuang.

Lian Shuang was already very popular in the Lingyun Sect.

At the North Spirit Ruins, for Ling Fei’s sake, she had not only betrayed the Xu Clan but had also launched a surprise attack on Xu Zitao.

And she did it all just to show Ling Fei Xu Zitao’s true colors.

It all happened without a word. She didn’t say anything sentimental; she proved everything with her actions.

Her meticulous planning, silent contributions, and selfless attitude were deeply moving.

How many people in this world would be willing to risk their lives for someone else like that?

I’m afraid not even many lovers could do the same.

And on top of that, Lian Shuang had even given Ling Fei pointers on two separate occasions before!

However, Ling Fei and Shangguan Wan’Er were already a couple, so no one felt it was appropriate to mention the matter further. They could only feel sorry for Lian Shuang in secret.

But they genuinely wished Lian Shuang well and held no grudges against her because of her background.

”Senior Sister, don’t worry. You still have all of us, your brothers and sisters of the Lingyun Sect. No matter what your identity was before, right now, you’re my favorite Senior Sister,” Fang Yuan said to Lian Shuang, her face full of admiration, as they stood in a mountainside pavilion. ”Senior Sister, if you like Ling the Pill Master, I’ll even support you in stealing him away!”

The little girl was thrilled.

She had long suspected that Lian Shuang liked Ling Fei.

But Lian Shuang had denied it every time she asked.

After what happened at the North Spirit Ruins, she didn’t care if Lian Shuang denied it anymore.

Because if she didn’t like Ling the Pill Master, why would Lian Shuang go so far as to betray the Xu Clan?

Why else would she ambush Xu Zitao when she knew she was no match for him?

So, in Fang Yuan’s mind, it was useless for Lian Shuang to deny it.

In the eyes of the Lingyun Sect disciples, Lian Shuang’s feelings for Ling Fei had become an indisputable fact, something that was only natural.

Because Ling Fei was just that outstanding.

At this point, there was hardly anyone who didn’t like him!

The scene of Ling Fei’s battle with Xu Zitao, in particular, had made him a hero in everyone’s hearts.

At that moment, many people had shed tears. Thankfully, the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul was finally destroyed in the end.

Hearing Fang Yuan’s words, Lian Shuang, who was gazing into the distant Void, felt a touch of warmth in her heart.

She had originally thought that once her identity was exposed, she would become public enemy number one. She never expected to receive the love and support of her fellow disciples.

However, after hearing the rest of Fang Yuan’s words, Lian Shuang just rolled her eyes, too tired to say anything more.

Because on the journey back, Fang Yuan had already asked her about it many times.

It was useless even if Lian Shuang denied it a hundred times.
