Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1076: Chapter 1077: Homeward Journey! Return to the Holy Hall!

”Who goes there!”

Han You flew into a rage, harnessed all his Demon Essence, and fiercely struck forward with his palm.

Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched, his figure twisted sharply in mid-air, and he soared skyward immediately. Han You’s power was indeed terrifying to the extreme; even though Ling Feng dodged the strike, the Vigorous Wind from that palm slash made his cheek sting painfully.

”The treasure belongs to the capable!”

Ling Feng deliberately lowered his voice as he moved closer to Shen Xiao, still clutching a Blood Pearl in his hand.

Shen Xiao had not expected this sudden turn of events, and after glancing at Ling Feng, he heard a divine voice transmission by his ear, ”Brother Shen, do you still remember the Drunken Immortal Brew?”

”Hmm?”

Shen Xiao’s eyelids twitched, staring incredulously at Ling Feng. He clearly did not expect that with Ling Feng’s level of cultivation, he could have made it all the way here.

Han You saw Shen Xiao and Ling Feng standing on the same side, a gleam of cold light flashing in his eyes. He shouted coldly, ”Hand over that pearl. Or die!”

Ling Feng chuckled; this guy didn’t know he actually had six more Essence Blood Pearls on him, or he wouldn’t ask for just one. But Ling Feng wasn’t a fool either, and naturally, he wouldn’t stupidly tell them that there were eight Essence Blood Pearls, and he got seven of them.

”Sorry, once something goes into my pocket, I never hand it over.”

Ling Feng held his long sword horizontally across his chest with a look saying, ’If you’re upset, bite me.’

Han You furrowed his sword-like brows, ”Looks like you want to die!”

”Living is great, who would want to die? But perhaps, you can’t kill me!”

Ling Feng summoned purple Thunderbolt, but to avoid exposing his identity, Ling Feng didn’t use Ten Directions Annihilation, nor did he use his specialty Swallowing Flame. Hence, it would be a miracle if Han You could recognize him.

”Courting death!”

Han You’s long sword swung, slashing forth. The terrifying pressure directly blocked all paths of retreat for Ling Feng.

This Dark Dragon Palace’s once-in-a-millennium unparalleled evil was indeed not to be underestimated.

”Han You, your opponent is me!”

At this moment, Shen Xiao stepped in front of Ling Feng, blocking with his sword. ”Under my watch, I won’t let you run wild!”

”Ha ha!”

Ling Feng laughed loudly, stepping forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with Shen Xiao. ”Brother Shen, I am not as weak as you think. Let’s fight side by side and repel the formidable enemy together.”

”You just wait!”

Han You clenched his fists tightly. His strength was comparable to Shen Xiao’s, so a direct confrontation would yield him no advantage. Moreover, from the recent skirmish, he realized that Ling Feng’s movement technique was absurdly fast. With Shen Xiao interfering, it was certain he couldn’t catch Ling Feng.

Not being one to hesitate, Han You immediately retreated swiftly.

With the Reverse Soldier Disintegration Array broken and the Ancient Divine Soul perished, the greatest threat in this Sky Demon Sacred City was already lifted. With Han You’s strength, leaving this place would be a piece of cake.

Watching Han You retreat, Ling Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief. Had Han You forced an attack, he would have had to use Chaos True Body to resist somewhat, which would have completely exposed his identity.

”Brother Long, such courage!”

Shen Xiao gave Ling Feng a thumbs-up. ”Being able to seize a treasure from Han You’s grasp, you’re the first since he gained fame!”

”It’s all thanks to Brother Shen for backing me up.”

Ling Feng thought for a moment, then took out a Brocade Bag from his Spirit Storage Ring and said with a smile, ”Brother Shen, do you recognize this item?”

Shen Xiao stared intently, seeing on the brocade bag a crescent moon embroidered, along with the unique cloud pattern imprint of Yunluo Sacred Land. Shen Xiao’s pupils contracted, and he stared at Ling Feng, speaking in a deep voice, ”This belongs to the Moonlight Saintess. How did it fall into your hands?”

Ling Feng smiled faintly, thinking that through his connection with Yue HuaQin, he could establish some ties with Yunluo Sacred Land.

Immediately, Ling Feng recounted the event of saving Yue HuaQin in Deep Fog and Pale Mountains, which Shen Xiao had no doubt about and expressed even more admiration for Ling Feng.

”Brother Long, since you are not of the Demon Clan, this Dark Dragon Palace is no place to remain. Why not take advantage of this chance and return to Yunluo Sacred Land with me? You’re the savior of the Moonlight Saintess, and with her recommendation, plus your talent, given time, achieving a status akin to a Saint Heir is certainly not impossible.”

Shen Xiao smiled and extended an invitation to Ling Feng.

Joking, Ling Feng definitely wasn’t going to follow Shen Xiao to Yunluo Sacred Land at this time, especially since this guy’s own situation was still precarious — outside, a bunch of experts from Dark Dragon Palace were blocking his way. Following him would be the most dangerous thing.

”I appreciate Brother Shen’s goodwill, but I still have some matters in Dark Dragon Palace that must be attended to, so I can’t leave with you just yet.”

Ling Feng shook his head, ”Now that I’ve obtained a Blood Pearl, I’m satisfied and it’s time for me to leave.”

”Very well.” Shen Xiao did not press further and said lightly, ”I also need to find an item, so let’s part ways here. Until we meet again!”

”Until we meet again!”

Ling Feng made a respectful gesture to Shen Xiao, thinking it would be interesting if the guy knew that the Dragon Emperor Seal he was searching for was in his hands.

Immediately, Ling Feng didn’t linger. With a natural demeanor, he bid farewell to Shen Xiao and, after returning to the second layer space of Sky Demon Sacred City, finally released Bai Ling’er, waking her up.

With Bai Ling’er as the ”witness,” he had been with her all along, and no one could possibly suspect him.

”Ugh...”

Bai Ling’er murmured softly, gradually waking up. Supporting her upright, Ling Feng smiled slightly, ”Miss, how do you feel?”

”Long Fei? Wahhh...”

With her gaze gradually focusing, Bai Ling’er’s eyes fell on Ling Feng’s face, and she immediately threw herself into Ling Feng’s embrace, sobbing.

Her memory still lingered on the moment she nearly got insulted by that Chi Gui.

”Uh...”

In a flurry, Ling Feng could only pat her gently on the back. After a while, Bai Ling’er finally calmed down a bit, thoroughly soaking Ling Feng’s clothes with her tears.

”Alright, it’s okay now.”

Ling Feng helped Bai Ling’er stand up and said softly, ”It seems there’s no treasure in this wretched place. Miss, I’ll lead you away from here first.”

”Mm.”

Bai Ling’er nodded, feeling a twinge of sweetness in her heart.

Taking Bai Ling’er back, due to the havoc wrought by the Ancient Divine Soul, Dark Dragon Palace suffered heavy losses — in the Purple Dragon Hall alone, one Demon Emperor, one Demon King and four or five disciples were lost.

After the blood-red curtain vanished, none of the remaining dared to continue exploring any treasures. They all fled outward. After Ling Feng rejoined the Purple Dragon Hall disciples, he feigned ignorance naturally and blended in, returning to the temporary camp of Dark Dragon Palace.

Soon, the strong enforcers from Dark Dragon Palace sealed the entrance of the Sky Demon Hall ruins, firstly to prevent any monsters from emerging and secondly to ensure they captured Shen Xiao and the unknown comrade with him at the first opportunity.

Seeing the display, Ling Feng felt a bit worried for Shen Xiao, wondering whether the guy could safely escape. It all depended on his own capability now.

As for Ling Feng, contented, he set out with the group, heading back to the Dark Dragon Palace.

Once returning to the holy palace, he would receive the summon from the Dark Dragon Demon Emperor, and when all’s settled, he could return to Sky Peak Camp and rejoin his brothers.
