Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 868: Chapter 869: Stars Shine Together, Grotto Heaven Opens! (2nd update)

Suddenly, the clouds in the sky changed dramatically!

Dark clouds surged from the west, moving at an incredible speed to envelop Sitting and Forgetting Valley.

In the blink of an eye, the whole valley was plunged into darkness.

”The celestial phenomena have changed, the Infinite Cave Heaven is about to open!”

The Demon Flood Dragon Prince looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed his inner fury. ”Go, let’s enter the Infinite Cave Heaven first!”

According to the information brought back by Poison Wolf, Ling Feng and his group might be difficult to deal with, and the opening of the Secret Realm Gate of the Infinite Cave Heaven lasts only a short quarter-hour. We cannot waste time entangling with others at this moment.

Otherwise, if we miss this seven and a half minutes, we will have to wait another three thousand years!

”But Third Prince, Xue Ji is still in their hands!” Poison Wolf gritted his teeth and said, inner resentment brewing.

”Don’t we also have hostages of theirs?” The Demon Flood Dragon Prince snorted coldly. ”Since they spared Xue Ji’s life, they probably want her to lead them to the Spirit Void Spring Eye! Hmph, at that time, I will make sure they die at the hands of their own!”

Saying this, the Demon Flood Dragon Prince glanced at Cao Meng beside him. Even if Ling Feng truly had three heads and six arms and was a King-level Expert, crushing him would be more than enough.

”The Spirit Void Spring Eye will be their burial ground!”

The Demon Flood Dragon Prince flicked his sleeve, eyes glinting coldly, ”Alright, let’s not waste any more time now!”

...

On the other side, Ling Feng found a strange gourd on Purple Snake’s corpse, which Jiang Biyi had told him contained Yee Xingnan.

Ling Feng opened the gourd and found not only Yee Xingnan inside but also three elite members of the Northwest Army, those who had been acting with Pei Shao.

”Old Fang!”

Wang Chuanjia saw these people and immediately rushed to support a square-faced man among them, excitedly saying, ”It’s so good that you’re alright!”

Fang Hai and the others never thought they would be rescued. Seeing familiar comrades in front of them, they first rejoiced, then shouted: ”General Ling, quickly... quickly rescue General Cao. Those from the Demon Clan have controlled Deputy General Pei, plotting against General Cao!”

”I already know.” Ling Feng stepped forward, patted Fang Hai’s shoulder gently, and said slowly: ”However, I’m afraid it’s too late now. If I’m not mistaken, General Cao has probably been controlled by them.”

”Damn it!”

Fang Hai, Wang Chuanjia, and the others all clenched their fists. They never believed anything unusual would happen at Sitting and Forgetting Valley, but this time, if it weren’t for Ling Feng, they might have been completely wiped out.

They regretted not realizing sooner!

”Brother Ling, thank you for saving us.”

Beside him, Yee Xingnan also heard what had happened from Jiang Biyi and quickly stepped forward to express his gratitude.

In comparison, Yee Xingnan was more seriously injured than Fang Hai and the others, his face pale, barely able to stand.

Ling Feng casually patted several acupoints on his back, circulating the Five Elements Ring to convert True Qi into the Wood Attribute and channel it into different parts of Yee Xingnan’s body, restoring some color to his face.

Just then, the dark clouds surged across the sky.

”What’s going on? How has the opening of Infinite Cave Heaven moved forward by an hour?”

Yee Xingnan saw the dark clouds and suddenly felt a jolt, exclaiming, ”Quick, quickly find the entrance to Infinite Cave Heaven. The Secret Realm Gate only remains open for a quarter of an hour. If we miss this chance, we will have to wait another three thousand years.”

”Only fifteen minutes?” Ling Feng’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he glared fiercely at Xue Ji. This damn woman still had secrets hiding.

Xue Ji shrank her neck in fear under Ling Feng’s predatory gaze and said timidly, ”You... you didn’t ask!”

In fact, Xue Ji also had a similar intention: if Ling Feng couldn’t find the entrance to Infinite Cave Heaven and missed that quarter-hour, he couldn’t enter Infinite Cave Heaven at all.

”Hmph!” Ling Feng snorted, looked at Yee Xingnan, and said in a deep voice, ”Brother Yee, considering your current condition, entering Infinite Cave Heaven might...”

”Sigh...” Yee Xingnan sighed heavily, his face turning solemn. Infinite Cave Heaven was full of crises. Although he was given many Magic Treasures by his master at the outset, in his current condition, he didn’t even have enough Elemental Power to activate them.

”Yee Xingnan, you should return to Luohai City to wait for me. Having bad men protect me is enough.” Jiang Biyi furrowed her brows. Although she was capricious and unreasonable at times, seeing Yee Xingnan injured while protecting her, there was no way she could allow him to continue taking risks.

”But...”

”Alright, enough with the buts.” Jiang Biyi pouted, ”This bad man is much more powerful than you.”

”Uh...” Yee Xingnan flushed, then sighed, looking at Ling Feng and bowing to him, ”Brother Ling, please take care of Yiyi.”

”Don’t worry, I will do my best.”

Ling Feng nodded slightly, looked at Wang Chuanjia and the others, and said calmly, ”Brothers, Infinite Cave Heaven is a treasure trove. Whether you want to go or stay, I respect your decisions. I will also try my best to rescue General Cao. But there is something I must make clear: if faced with life-and-death dangers, I will choose to protect myself.”

He wanted to make it clear as he didn’t want to carry too much burden. After all, there wasn’t much camaraderie between him and them, so naturally, he wouldn’t reveal the Five Elements Heavenly Palace in front of them.

Upon his words, Wang Chuanjia and the others’ expressions stiffened but quickly realized the truth.

The Infinite Cave Heaven was indeed a good place, but given their capabilities, going in would only make them cannon fodder. Ling Feng was already commendable for not using them as cannon fodder. He could easily have taken them in and watched them die.

”You three who are injured, escort this Brother Yee back to Luohai City, then return to the fortress to report to the Grand Commander.” Ling Feng looked at Fang Hai and the other two, commanding directly.

”Yes!” The three nodded, feeling somewhat unwilling in their hearts.

”As for the rest of you,” Ling Feng looked at Wang Chuanjia and the others, ”decide for yourselves.”

Wang Chuanjia clenched his fists, ”General Ling, I want to go with you, I want to rescue General Cao!”

”I’m going too!” Bai Yuan immediately said, ”Hmm.” Ling Feng nodded slightly, whether out of a selfish motive or truly to save Cao Meng, opportunities were ahead, and everyone had a chance to seize them.

”I’ll stay behind.” Luu Yi shook his head, possessing a level of self-awareness.

Treasures are great, but one must live to enjoy them!

”Alright, it’s settled then.”

Ling Feng looked at the dark clouds in the sky, as if faint starlight began to emerge, signaling the start of the celestial event of the twenty-eight stars aligning, as Xue Ji had mentioned.

At that time, the Secret Realm Gate of the Infinite Cave Heaven would open once more.

The next moment, Ling Feng casually picked up the immobilized Xue Ji and, along with Jiang Biyi, Wang Chuanjia, and Bai Yuan, immediately set off to search for the entrance to Infinite Cave Heaven...
