Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 891: Chapter 892: Return to the Fortress! (First Update)

After leaving the Sitting and Forgetting Valley, Ling Feng once again encountered a troop led by Fang Wentong when returning to Luohai City.

It turns out that Fang Hai (one of the members of the team that Ling Feng had led, saved from Poison Wolf) and two other elites from the Northwest Army returned to the fortress and immediately reported the full details of the Infinite Cave Heaven to the Northwest Army high command.

It was only then that Northwest Army Commander Han Li understood why the Demon Clan made such a big fuss; it was to send their demon prodigies into the Infinite Cave Heaven to acquire great fortune, and in the future, when these prodigies grow stronger, they would naturally become formidable enemies of the Sky White Empire.

Moreover, if they can bring back the Spirit Void Spring, they could produce more experts, and in another ten or eight years, as a new batch of demon clan experts mature, the garrison pressure on the Sky White Empire would undoubtedly increase several times.

However, it’s already too late to say anything now, as those demon prodigies have already successfully entered the Infinite Cave Heaven.

Currently, outside the fortress, those demons still haven’t dispersed. They can’t send a large force to blockade the Sitting and Forgetting Valley, so they can only let Fang Wentong lead a hundred-man elite team to support Ling Feng and others around the Sitting and Forgetting Valley.

Unfortunately, their luck was really bad. They ran into Elder Xuan She of the Demon Clan, lost some soldiers, and retreated back to Luohai City for recovery.

Thus, this was how Ling Feng encountered Fang Wentong in Luohai City.

”General Ling, you’re finally back!”

Fang Wentong, still carrying injuries, was visibly excited as he came up to meet Ling Feng and Wang Chuanjia upon seeing them return.

”General Fang, what’s your situation?” Ling Feng noticed Fang Wentong’s arm was hanging by his shoulder, clearly indicating a serious injury.

”It’s just a minor injury, General Ling. After the Infinite Cave Heaven, what happened? Did the demons already transport the Spirit Void Spring away? And what about General Cao and the others...”

Fang Wentong asked a flurry of questions in one breath. Ling Feng smiled wryly and said, ”Let’s discuss the details back at the fortress. There’s no need to blockade the Sitting and Forgetting Valley anymore. I reckon that in a few more days, the demon army stationed outside the fortress should retreat too.”

”I see... okay then.”

Fang Wentong nodded and immediately ordered the troops stationed in Luohai City to return to the fortress together.

...

Several hours later, Ling Feng and the others finally returned to the fortress. Ling Feng immediately handed all the matters over to Wang Chuanjia and inquired about Lee Bufan and the others, then went straight back to his temporary tent.

He had been in the Infinite Cave Heaven for seven days, so during this time, naturally, Lee Bufan and the others should have come out from the Ancient Tower Forest.

Back at the tent, Ling Feng immediately went to Tuoba Yan’s place and found that besides Tuoba Yan, Mu Qianxue was also in the camp.

Tuoba Yan was sitting cross-legged on a cushion cultivating, while Mu Qianxue was constantly wiping the sweat off her forehead with a towel, besides being helplessly anxious on the side.

”Brother Ling, you’re finally back!”

Seeing Ling Feng return, Mu Qianxue rushed to him anxiously, saying, ”Come quickly and see Sister Yan’er. She suddenly fell ill with a strange disease a few days ago, and none of the military doctors in the barracks could do anything.”

”I understand.”

Ling Feng quickly went to Tuoba Yan’s side, knowing without even thinking that this woman was most likely experiencing a flare-up of the Red Dust Heart Devouring Gu in her body.

Although the residual poison in her body had already been almost fully cleared, his absence had indeed been a bit long.

Ling Feng placed his hand on her back, slowly injecting a stream of Primordial Qi, and roughly sensed her physical condition, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Luckily, the cultivation technique that Tuoba Yan was practicing seemed to temporarily suppress the poisonous insect poison in her body; otherwise, if the poison erupted, the venom that had almost been cleared would reignite again.

If that happened, it would be even more troublesome to completely eradicate it.

”Once I’ve cultivated a Divine Sense technique, I should be able to help her completely cleanse the residual poison.”

Ling Feng sighed secretly, gently holding Tuoba Yan’s shoulder. Seeing her frail state, his heart ached, and he clenched his fist, saying, ”I’m sorry, Yan’er. It’s all my fault.”

Tuoba Yan’s poisoning only flared up because Ling Feng wasn’t around. Now that he had returned, the poison naturally subsided. Although she was still a bit weak, the feeling of having her heart ”wrenched” had faded.

”It’s fine...”

Tuoba Yan bit her silver teeth, realized she was leaning against Ling Feng’s embrace, and struggled to sit up a little, saying through gritted teeth, ”I’m fine now.”

”At a time like this, you still try to act tough!”

Ling Feng took out a row of Golden Needles, saying solemnly, ”I’m going to give you acupuncture now, so cooperate and don’t move!”

Seeing Ling Feng both angry and concerned, Tuoba Yan felt a slight sweetness in her heart and nodded softly, ”Okay...”

Not long after, with Ling Feng’s Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Technique, Tuoba Yan’s chaotic internal energy was quickly balanced, and her tightly knit brows relaxed.

”Alright, Sister Yan’er is finally fine.”

Mu Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, ”Brother Ling, your medical skills are indeed impressive.”

”It’s nothing.” Ling Feng put the Golden Needle away and said lightly, ”Qianxue, you’ve worked hard these days, take some rest.”

”It’s no trouble for me.”

Mu Qianxue bit her silver teeth, feeling a bit jealous inside. She really wished she were the one ill so that Brother Ling would care for her so meticulously.

Just like when they were in the Heavenly Vein Forest, Ling Feng carefully tended to her wounds, wiping her scars.

Although for Ling Feng it was just treating an ordinary patient, since then, Mu Qianxue couldn’t erase Ling Feng from her heart.

”Qianxue, thank you.”

Tuoba Yan, usually quite reticent, could genuinely feel Mu Qianxue’s kindness and concern these past few days.

From her, she felt a friendship she had never experienced before during her time in Wangduan Mountain.

After all, since she was young, she was only used by Elder Hei Yu as a tool for competing for power and status and never felt a bit of warmth.

But since she left Wangduan Mountain with Ling Feng, she gradually experienced this warmth, which is why Tuoba Yan didn’t really want the poison of the Red Dust Heart Devouring Gu to clear too quickly.

She had already gradually grown accustomed to being by Ling Feng’s side, to that gentle care.

”Everyone, have a good rest!”

Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile, helped Tuoba Yan to lie on the bed, and then escorted Mu Qianxue back to her tent, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
