Chapter 1930: Chapter 1931: Wangjian Building!
"So the one who broke through the Nine Layers Limit is you, right?"
Xiao Juanyun stared at Ling Feng and asked in a deep voice.
"Hehe..."
Ling Feng just smiled lightly, neither denying nor admitting, leaving Xiao Juanyun to guess by himself.
In those nine layers of the Shenxiao Hall, breaking through the Heavenly Destiny Realm of the Second Layer was secondary, while various attribute rule inscriptions, including the power of time and spatial power rules, had already been completely engraved in the Sea of Consciousness; that was the biggest gain from this trip.
With these rule inscriptions, it would naturally be twice the result with half the effort for Ling Feng to comprehend various attribute rules in the future.
For most people, even Saint Level strong people, being able to wield the rule power of Seventh and Eighth levels is already very rare, but the rule inscriptions engraved by Ling Feng are as high as the Ninth level!
This means that until comprehending the Ninth level rules, Ling Feng’s path will be smooth sailing all the way!
However, Ling Feng believes that this is only the beginning of his growth journey in the West Sword Domain.
"No need to guess, it must be you."
Xiao Juanyun shook his head with a bitter smile, feeling somewhat bitter internally; the gap between people is just so vast, isn’t it?
Ling Feng shrugged, still neither confirming nor denying, simply saying, "Brother Xiao, to be honest, this time I’m visiting the West Sword Domain to find you; I might need to trouble you with something."
"Brother Ling, you’re too polite. That day when Brother Ling returned the Spirit Xiao Sword to me, it won me quite a bit of admiration within the family, hehe. Brother Ling’s matters are my matters."
Xiao Juanyun said, patting his chest and continued, "Tell me, what is the matter?"
"There are too many people with prying eyes here; let’s find a quieter place to talk."
Ling Feng glanced around. This place was bustling with people, definitely not suitable for discussing matters.
"Haha, I was careless."
Xiao Juanyun laughed heartily, "Let’s go, this place isn’t far from Yueelin City. Let me host Brother Ling and Lady Yeu well as a welcome for you two!"
...
Around sunset, Ling Feng and his party of three finally returned to Yueelin City.
However, Xiao Juanyun did not directly take Ling Feng and Yeu Gu back to the Xiao Family but brought them to a rather luxurious tavern.
This tavern is quite special, as it stands in the center of a large lake named Sky Sword Lake, and this tavern is called Wangjian Building.
In Sky Sword Lake, one can see thick chains, and hanging on the chains are countless treasure swords, weathering centuries without a hint of rust, clearly all above Treasure Level swords.
With so many swords hanging on those chains, the tavern indeed gains quite a bit of grandeur.
This Wangjian Building has a rule where all guests must not use movement technique or elemental power, and must step on those chains one after another to become an honored guest; otherwise, they can only dine in the downstairs hall.
Precisely because of this rule, the business of Wangjian Building has become even more booming. Any Martial Artist with some ability, even if not visiting Wangjian Building, would occasionally try crossing those chain-built sword bridges.
One must admit, the owner of Wangjian Building is a marketing genius.
"Brother Ling, that is the largest tavern in Yueelin City, Wangjian Building. Today, I’ll host and guarantee Brother Ling and Lady Yeu’s satisfaction!"
Xiao Juanyun said and further introduced the chain sword bridges ahead to Ling Feng and Yeu Gu.
At this moment, on the sword bridge, many Martial Artists were trying to cross. Actually, the difficulty of these sword bridges isn’t high. It’s just that the surface of the lake is extremely humid, making the chains very slippery, and coupled with the swords hanging on the chains having different weights, once they shake, it’s easy to lose balance.
Thus, how to cross the sword bridges quickly, steadily, and with style is what everyone seeks.
For Ling Feng and the three, the chain sword bridges naturally pose no problem.
The three entered the tavern, Xiao Juanyun revealed his identity and directly booked a private room on the top floor of Wangjian Building, serving all sorts of delicious food and drink.
This guy indeed deserves to be from the direct lineage of one of the nine major families in Yueelin City; he can basically walk horizontally here.
After taking seats in the private room, Xiao Juanyun couldn’t hold it back any longer, his gaze falling on Ling Feng, he asked, "Brother Ling, I’m really curious what matter you need my help with?"
"I need Brother Xiao to introduce me to the high-levels in Du Yue Heaven Palace, preferably directly to the Palace Master himself!"
Ling Feng’s eyes flashed with brilliance, saying one word at a time.
"Wha... What?"
Xiao Juanyun’s eyelids twitched wildly, "Brother Ling, your appetite is too large, the Palace Master of Du Yue Heaven Palace, let alone you, even the direct lineage of the nine major families cannot just meet him. That really creates a challenge for me."
Ling Feng sighed lightly, explaining, "The matter traces back to when I encountered conflict in Sunset Ancient City."
As he spoke, Ling Feng recounted in full the event where the Long Family of Dragon Sword Mansion dispatched the Sky Dragon Sword Saint and two other Semi-Saint strong people who massacred at the East Spirit Immortal Pond.
"What?" Xiao Juanyun’s face changed slightly, "The Long Family actually did such a thing?"
The next moment, Xiao Juanyun was slightly surprised, "Brother Ling, as you said, if the Sky Dragon Sword Saint took action, wouldn’t the East Spirit Immortal Pond be utterly destroyed? Did you escape alone?"
"Not exactly." Ling Feng shook his head, "If not for a coincidence, that Sky Dragon Sword Saint might have indeed destroyed the East Spirit Immortal Pond, but later, I killed him!"
"What!"
Xiao Juanyun’s eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets, "Kil... killed him?"
The name of Sky Dragon Sword Saint, Xiao Juanyun had certainly heard of before, after all, even in the West Sword Domain, Saint-level strong people are not commonplace.
Sky Dragon Sword Saint might not be exceptionally powerful among Saint-level strong people, but a Saint-level is a Saint-level, even the weakest Saint-level is an existence to look up to.
"You... Brother Ling, you can kill a Saint-level?"
Xiao Juanyun was incredibly shocked, stunned, frightened, and even somewhat fearful looking at Ling Feng.
He had guessed Ling Feng would become more powerful, but to be this powerful, it was just too exaggerated.
Initial Stage Emperor Realm, Saint Slayer!
"Brother Xiao misunderstood."
Ling Feng shook his head, "I, of course, can’t kill a Saint-level strong person, that’s why I called it coincidence. Strictly speaking, that Sky Dragon Sword Saint wasn’t killed by me, but by a Mutant Beast."
In fact, the Sky Dragon Sword Saint was absorbed by the little golden fish he kept in the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. This was simply too bizarre.
Even now, Ling Feng couldn’t believe that a seemingly harmless little golden fish could be so powerful.
Therefore, Ling Feng didn’t elaborate, just saying the Sky Dragon Sword Saint was killed by a Mutant Beast, which wasn’t a lie.
"I see."
Xiao Juanyun let out a breath, but soon knitted his brow, "Brother Ling, so to say, no matter what, your East Spirit Immortal Pond carries the blame for a Saint-level strong person’s death at the Dragon Sword Mansion, and Dragon Sword Mansion naturally won’t let it rest."
"That’s correct."
Ling Feng nodded, "That’s why I came here to find you. The East Spirit Immortal Pond can’t possibly withstand the Dragon Sword Mansion. Only if Du Yue Heaven Palace applies pressure will Dragon Sword Mansion be deterred."
"This..."
Xiao Juanyun’s eyelids twitched wildly; Ling Feng indeed deserves to be Ling Feng, he truly dares to think big.
