Chapter 1728: Chapter 928: Feng Ling (Part 2)
"This is the Life Force, purer than the Bihua Spirit Pond of the Giant Wood Clan." Lin Feng thought of the Bihua Spirit Pond he had seen before, and couldn’t help but feel a wave of astonishment in his heart. Lin Feng looked calmly at the scene before him, as if returning to the realm of the Spirit Pond of the Giant Wood Clan.
For some reason, perhaps drawn by the energy of the Bihua Spirit Pond within Lin Feng’s body, these gases surrounding the Red Crystal Stone flew towards Lin Feng in clusters.
A faint stream of light formed around Lin Feng, and in an instant, this light became a barrier around him, with countless luminous colors shining and the scenery extremely ethereal and beautiful.
Lin Feng looked at the scene in front of him, not knowing what was happening.
These lights entered Lin Feng’s body, and at this moment, Hua Shengmi helped Lin Feng accommodate this energy.
While absorbing, Hua Shengmi said to Lin Feng, "Kid, this energy is too strong; you can’t bear it now. I will guard it for you and slowly return it to you when your cultivation recovers."
Lin Feng nodded, agreeing sincerely.
With Lin Feng’s approval, Hua Shengmi absorbed this formidable energy swiftly.
At this moment, the brilliance suddenly disappeared, the energy had been absorbed by Lin Feng, and the Sect Leader arrived at the scene, together with Feng Ling.
The Sect Leader looked at the Red Crystal Stone ahead, no longer surrounded by energy clusters, then decisively looked at Lin Feng, the violet energy cluster said to Lin Feng, "You kid have great fortune; it seems only you can access the Ascension Realm channel in the future!"
The Sect Leader is also a resolute person who won’t procrastinate because of this.
Sometimes, knowing when to pick up and let go is the true virtue of a man; the Sect Leader is cunning, yet a hero of his generation.
Nature, too, is a person who can pick up and let go; how can great undertakings be achieved without being cunning?
The Sect Leader, in order to gain the power of the Inheritance Secret Treasure, also seeks to open the gate leading from the Hunluo Realm to the legendary Seventh Realm; behind that gate is a whole new world.
However, among the Six Realms, the only energy capable of opening this gate is the Ascension Realm channel’s energy, which Lin Feng has obtained. At this moment, Lin Feng will inevitably become the Sect Leader’s ally.
The possibility of the Sect Leader obtaining the Inheritance Treasure isn’t impossible, but such an action could turn Lin Feng against him, which he would only resort to if utterly necessary.
Feng Ling was happy for Lin Feng, who obtained the Inheritance Secret Treasure; this way, the Sect Leader will inevitably heal Lin Feng.
With Lin Feng’s injuries improving, he will certainly not be harmed by the Sect Leader; as long as Lin Feng is safe, she won’t feel guilty towards him.
"Kid, having obtained the Inheritance Secret Treasure, you must promise me one thing."
The Sect Leader spoke to Lin Feng earnestly; it was as if for the first time, the Sect Leader was setting a condition for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng replied, "What is it?" He asked this on guard against the Sect Leader, but the energy of the Inheritance Secret Treasure is now stored within the Innate Spiritual Seed, and as a Four Spirits Seal expert, Lin Feng couldn’t possibly be a match for the Sect Leader.
Lin Feng didn’t want the Sect Leader to obtain the Secret Treasure, thereby gaining even more terrifying power to cause calamity to the world. He thought to deal with it first and discuss later, which was a move of desperation for the sake of all sentient beings.
The Sect Leader solemnly said, "You must accompany me to Qingling Realm and Hunluo Realm. At that time, you need to listen to my commands."
Although the Sect Leader’s words weren’t particularly clear, Lin Feng still heard that he must listen to him at that time.
In other words, if the Sect Leader wants Lin Feng to kill, Lin Feng has to kill, but this is also conjecture. However, with the black-clad assassin’s power, killing in the Six Realms wouldn’t be a small matter.
Lin Feng was indeed overthinking things.
Seeing Lin Feng hesitate, the Sect Leader hurriedly added, "If you don’t agree, I’ll kill you immediately to forcibly seize the Inheritance Treasure; don’t doubt my abilities."
The Sect Leader spoke decisively, as someone who could manipulate the Six Great Sects of the Human Realm and the Court with ease; Lin Feng naturally didn’t doubt his abilities.
Thus, Lin Feng sighed, pondering to take it one step at a time; sometimes retreating is the better option.
Lin Feng said to the Sect Leader, "As long as it doesn’t involve indiscriminate killing of innocents or causing calamity to the world, I can agree to your terms."
Lin Feng smiled calmly, yet spoke with firm decisiveness.
The Sect Leader, hearing Lin Feng’s reply, looked somewhat content, and his exuberant smile indicated agreement with Lin Feng.
But the matters inside the cave were considered settled, while someone outside would definitely not let them leave easily.
Lin Feng and the others must find a way to escape, thus the Sect Leader said, "If it weren’t for the beast outside, I wouldn’t have arrived a step late, allowing you to seize the advantage. Just now, you need to lure it away to cover our escape."
The Sect Leader spoke arrogantly, calling the dragon a beast; such madness from someone else would be laughed at, but from the Sect Leader, it seemed normal.
The reason is simple: the Sect Leader himself possesses such power. Facing an incredibly noble dragon, he is extremely arrogant, as his power rivals the dragon’s, and he claims to have wisdom akin to the dragon’s, or even to be stronger and smarter.
Hearing the Sect Leader ask Lin Feng to lure the dragon away, Feng Ling didn’t agree with this decision but dared not oppose and said to the Sect Leader, "I will accompany him."
"No, you need to stay with me to handle sudden situations." The Sect Leader stopped Feng Ling with no room for negotiation.
Feng Ling was worried about Lin Feng but had no choice but to follow the Sect Leader out.
Lin Feng said to Feng Ling, "Don’t worry, I can handle it alone." Lin Feng smiled as if he had regained his former cultivation, leaving Feng Ling puzzled as to why Lin Feng could still smile despite being sent to die by the Sect Leader.
Lin Feng could indeed smile because he has treasures that ensured the dragon wouldn’t harm him.
The treasures include the Dragon Scale Armor and the Spirit Communication Cloak, and with these Magical Treasures in hand, surely one would be useful.
Lin Feng, Feng Ling, and the Sect Leader arrived at the cave’s entrance.
The Sect Leader said to Lin Feng, "This beast definitely won’t give up; you need to lure it east and keep circling until we’re gone, then find a way to escape."
Lin Feng nodded, and then the Sect Leader prepared to leave with Feng Ling.
Outside the cave, a massive golden dragon was hovering at the entrance, strong Dragon Breath blowing onto the ground, stirring a fierce vortex.
For some unknown reason, the dragon didn’t enter the cave, as if this was its guarded domain, so it couldn’t destroy or enter the cave, perhaps due to lacking the qualifications or being permitted to only guard outside.
Lin Feng and the others inside the cave were absolutely safe, but once stepping outside, they faced great danger.
Such danger, if encountered by someone at the Seven Spirit Knot level, would lead to immediate death elsewhere; mentioning Lin Feng now, who was just a Four Spirits Seal bearer.
Feng Ling feared something might happen to Lin Feng, feeling extremely anxious as Lin Feng left the cave, with the dragon roaring and chasing after him. The overwhelming Dragon Power enveloped the entire space like descending heavenly might.
Not only was Lin Feng unafraid, but he also directly cast a Seal Technique on the dragon. The Seal Technique left no impact but thoroughly enraged the dragon, which let out a deafening dragon roar resonating across the skies, and Lin Feng swiftly cast another Seal Technique as the dragon roared, drawing its full attention towards Lin Feng.
The Sect Leader saw this and, with Feng Ling, transformed into a seven-colored stream of light, fleeing under the dragon’s imposing pressure towards the exit.
