Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Chapter 800: Chapter 247: Five Elements Saber Technique – Marching Toward the Tiger’s Den Despite Knowing the Danger

"Brother Wu, long time no see!"

Upon seeing Wu Qingyun, Ling Feng greeted him with a smiling face and cupped his hands.

"Hmph!"

Wu Qingyun did not offer Ling Feng a pleasant expression.

Turning sideways to face Ling Feng, he snorted coldly, "Wu Tianqi said there’s an opportunity he wants to offer you. He asked me to see if you’re willing to meet him?"

"Oh?"

Ling Feng was increasingly surprised and couldn’t help but ask, "You don’t hate him anymore?"

"Of course, I hate him, hate him to the extent that I wish to eat his flesh and gnaw his bones."

Wu Qingyun’s eyes were bloodshot, the raw hatred couldn’t be faked.

"Then why?"

Ling Feng felt somewhat uneasy inside. Although he had already explained to Wu Qingyun that the deaths of the Wu Family’s ancestors over three generations were not caused by his own hands, it was indeed Wu Tianqi who created that calamity to clear past grievances and gain his favor.

He couldn’t completely absolve himself.

For this reason, Ling Feng had never used his power to suppress Wu Qingyun at the Star Gate, and he even entrusted Bai Xinhe and others to take care of him, providing Wu Qingyun with resources in the name of the sect secretly.

Every time he saw Wu Qingyun’s raging hatred, he could understand.

"The old monster said, as long as you’re willing to forgive the Wu Family and help us regain the pinnacle, he can sacrifice his life in apology and assist me in refining a three-star upper-grade Golden Core, ensuring the Wu Family’s legacy under my guardianship."

Wu Qingyun did not conceal and spoke the truth.

"Is he serious?"

Ling Feng looked astonished.

"Yes, he’s reaching the end of his days, his Dao Seed didn’t successfully awaken, and he doesn’t have much time left."

Wu Qingyun nodded.

"He wishes to atone before dying."

Ling Feng shook his head, unable to understand Wu Tianqi at all.

"Just one word, are you going to see him or not?"

Wu Qingyun didn’t want to tangle too long with Ling Feng.

"I’ll go, let’s consider it a way to resolve the grudges between us!"

Ling Feng spoke directly.

"Aren’t you even going to ask what opportunity he offers you?"

Wu Qingyun looked surprised.

"Whatever the opportunity is doesn’t matter, I only hope that from now on, we clear our past grievances, with no further entangled animosities."

Ling Feng said.

He could have killed Wu Qingyun with a single palm strike.

But he considered that this guy had already been punished, and it was the result of a family member’s doing. He felt sympathy for him, coupled with the fact that Wu Qingyun could no longer trouble him, all the hatred and resentment dissipated like smoke.

"I don’t need your sympathy."

Wu Qingyun sneered.

He was fully aware that he could never best Ling Feng in this lifetime, even if he successfully refined a Golden Core in the future, he wouldn’t be able to catch up to Ling Feng.

The gap between them, along with Ling Feng’s eight consecutive wins in the Demon Realm System, was like a chasm that could never be crossed in his lifetime.

Although he harbored deep unwillingness and frustration, Wu Qingyun had no choice but to accept the harsh reality.

So he added, "Of course, I don’t want my Wu Family to be your enemy anymore."

"My enemy is only one, that is the Ancient Blue Star’s Mengba, other grudges are just fleeting clouds."

Ling Feng said, clarifying his desire to resolve animosity with Wu Qingyun.

"Thank you!"

Wu Qingyun took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said.

He knew this was Ling Feng showing leniency, and he knew that with Ling Feng’s power, he could kill him silently, and even if the Star Gate executives found out he died by Ling Feng’s hands, they wouldn’t punish Ling Feng. Nor would they allow the Alliance to seize this handle, even if the Alliance knew Ling Feng killed their member, they might turn a blind eye.

Because that’s the difference.

Thus, saying Ling Feng wanted to resolve animosity with him was less accurate than saying Ling Feng wished to spare him.

For the sake of the Wu Family, he could let go of his resentment toward Wu Tianqi, making peace with Ling Feng, which didn’t count for much. But inside, he felt somewhat lost, unsure if what he was doing was right or wrong, and how his deceased relatives would perceive his actions.

Would they view it as considering the bigger picture or as being heartless and indifferent?

"Time is of the essence, let’s go!"

Ling Feng urged.

"Alright!"

Wu Qingyun nodded, immediately flying with Ling Feng towards Bihai City.

Both of them were strong, considered top-tier figures in the Foundation Establishment stage, and soon flew out of the Celestial Master Mansion. As they were about to fly out of the Celestial Water City’s range, Wu Qingyun said, "Wu Tianqi’s opportunity for you is half a Law Symbol; he said the other half is in Celestial Master’s hands, and if the symbols combine, it might help you refine a five-star super-grade Golden Core."

"Oh, so it’s that half symbol. This opportunity is indeed rare."

Ling Feng was caught off guard, his heart filled with anticipation for that other half of the symbol.

However, just then, he seemed to remember something, and his figure stopped at the edge of Celestial Water City, frowning in thought.

"What’s wrong?"

Wu Qingyun asked.

"You mentioned before that Wu Tianqi is doing all this for the future of the Wu Family, to atone for the past, right?"

Ling Feng sized up Wu Qingyun for a moment, then asked.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Wu Qingyun nodded.

"Celestial Master did indeed give me half a Law Symbol. You and Hao Yuchen saw it at the time. After he gave me half of the symbol, he also gave you and Hao Yuchen a share of the opportunity. I assume your strength has been improving rapidly these past days, which is related to the opportunity from Celestial Master, correct?"

Ling Feng said.

"Of course, what are you trying to say?"

Wu Qingyun nodded again.

"How do I compare to Celestial Master?"

Ling Feng inquired.

Wu Qingyun glanced at the Celestial Master Mansion and said dismissively, "How can a firefly compete with the brilliance of the moon?"

"That’s right."

Ling Feng slapped his thigh and circled around Wu Qingyun, "If Wu Tianqi truly has the other half of the Law Symbol, why wouldn’t he hand the symbol over to Celestial Master and let your Wu Family receive his protection? How could he instead offer the opportunity to me, it doesn’t make sense!"
