Chapter 1647: Me Going Up Is No Different
"Damn it!"
Liu Donglin clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked. His teeth itched with hatred. He had wanted to use the healing sacred medicine to humiliate the disciples of Dongling Immortal Pool, yet the moment Ling Feng appeared, his entire scheme fell apart. Instead, that brat ended up stealing the spotlight.
What especially infuriated Liu Donglin was seeing a trace of approval appear in Senior Sister Yue Huaqing's eyes.
After Helian Xiao recovered from his injuries, his gaze toward Ling Feng became somewhat complicated.
Earlier, he had treated Ling Feng with obvious contempt, yet Ling Feng had still taken out such precious medicinal pills to heal him.
A look of shame surfaced on Helian Xiao's face. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth before saying, "Thanks, Junior Brother Ling."
"We belong to the same sect. Naturally, we should point our spears outward together."
Ling Feng smiled faintly. Although he did not particularly like Helian Xiao, there had never been any direct conflict between them. Since it concerned the sect's reputation, helping him once was no big deal.
"Take these medicinal pills back."
Helian Xiao hurriedly returned the remaining medicinal pills to Ling Feng. In his eyes, such pills had to be extraordinarily valuable.
Ling Feng merely shrugged and said casually, "Since I already gave them away, they're yours now."
The moment those words came out, all the disciples from the various Sacred Lands present could not help twitching at the corners of their mouths.
Good lord, he was giving away an entire bottle of top-grade healing sacred medicine without even blinking!
How absurdly wealthy was this guy?
After a long while, Ye Changge swept his gaze across the crowd and examined Ling Feng with a hint of seriousness.
A person capable of casually taking out such precious medicinal pills while possessing only Extreme First Stage Human Emperor cultivation, yet still qualifying to participate in the Sunset Heaven Selection, was definitely not simple.
Behind him, there was likely some high-ranking figure from Dongling Immortal Pool backing him.
Although Wulei Sacred Land and Yunluo Sacred Land had always refused to accept Dongling Immortal Pool's title as the foremost among the Three Great Sacred Lands, when it came to foundation and heritage, the two Sacred Lands truly lagged behind by more than a single level.
That was precisely why they wanted to use the Sunset Heaven Selection to prevent Dongling Immortal Pool from securing five spots within the top ten rankings. In a sense, it would be a ruthless blow to Dongling Immortal Pool's prestige.
If it came down to comparing high-level combat power, even the two Sacred Lands combined might not necessarily be able to contend against Dongling Immortal Pool.
However, this was the battlefield of geniuses. No elder was allowed to interfere.
"Enough. Since Helian Xiao is already fine, and Liu Donglin has also offered medicinal pills, both sides should each take a step back. The martial exchange gathering will continue."
Ye Changge spoke indifferently.
At this point, Dongling Immortal Pool's strongest disciples, Xu Ming and Helian Xiao, had already suffered consecutive defeats. Although Ling Feng had managed to recover a bit of face for Dongling Immortal Pool with his medicinal pills, they had still become the laughingstock of this martial exchange gathering. Ye Changge's objective had already been achieved.
If the disciples of Dongling Immortal Pool continued staying here, they would only become targets of ridicule and jokes.
On the side of Yunluo Sacred Land, although they outwardly criticized Liu Donglin's impulsive behavior, inwardly they were quite pleased.
After all, relying solely on his own strength, Liu Donglin had suppressed the Fourth and Fifth Young Emperors of Dongling Immortal Pool. That greatly boosted Yunluo Sacred Land's prestige.
Meanwhile, the disciples of Dongling Immortal Pool all looked dispirited.
Even Helian Xiao had been defeated. Remaining here now felt like sitting on needles and pins. They wished they could crawl into a hole and disappear.
Dongling Immortal Pool desperately needed a victory.
Someone immediately suggested sending Tuoba Yan into battle, yet Ling Feng stopped her.
"A victory?"
Ling Feng shrugged, his expression calm and unconcerned.
"There's no need for Yan'er to make a move."
"If I go up, the result will be exactly the same."
