Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1292: Chapter 1291: Lurking and Laying in Wait

”You wanton scoundrel!”

Just as Ling Chen was about to speak again, suddenly a figure appeared beside Xuannv, with eyes that seemed like they wanted to kill him. It was Elder Len.

”If you don’t want to die by my hands, stay away from Xuan’er.”

Elder Len’s eyes were filled with hostility as he looked at Ling Chen.

”Elder Len, you’ve misunderstood.”

Xuannv, seeing Elder Len appearing ready to attack Ling Chen, couldn’t help but frown slightly. Although she was tempted to kill Ling Chen, she couldn’t let Elder Len injure him—she wasn’t the type to repay kindness with enmity.

”If not for Ling Chen’s assistance, I fear I would have been buried in that tomb already.”

Xuannv looked at Elder Len and spoke.

”This boy saved you?”

Upon hearing this, Elder Len looked at Ling Chen with some doubt. If Xuannv hadn’t said it herself, she would never believe it.

Ling Chen’s lips formed a slight smile, ”That’s right, Elder Len. I saved your Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao’s most outstanding disciple. Your sect should thank me, at least you should give me ten or eight bottles of Saint Body Ointment as a token of gratitude.”

Xuannv was somewhat speechless at Ling Chen’s behavior. This guy really knows how to seize opportunities for benefit...

”Since you saved Xuan’er, my sect should indeed thank you.”

Only then did Elder Len’s hostility diminish slightly, as she continued, ”However, if it wasn’t for entangling with you, Xuan’er wouldn’t have been trapped in the Emperor’s Tomb, encountering danger. Let this matter be settled.”

”Xuan’er, let’s go!”

Elder Len glanced at Xuannv, then returned to the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao’s ranks.

Xuannv looked at Ling Chen, ”I will remember the favor. I will repay you in the future. But ten bottles of Saint Body Ointment are not easy to come by; I need some time.”

”The ten bottles of ointment were for Elder Len; as for you, don’t go to such trouble, just agree to my previous request.”

Ling Chen said with a smile.

”You rascal...”

Before the word ”rascal” was fully uttered, Xuannv already glared at Ling Chen. She knew he was starting to mess with her again, so she simply ignored him and followed Elder Len.

”Ling Chen, are you alright!”

At this time, Xia Yunxin, Ling Yin, Shen Bingxin, and others from Lingyue Island came over. Seeing Ling Chen was okay, they all finally breathed a sigh of relief.

”I’m fine, what could happen to me?”

Ling Chen had a casual demeanor, although this time was indeed perilous. If not for his ability to control the gift of hundred swords, it would have been incredibly difficult to escape from the Emperor’s Tomb.

”You brat, acting as if nothing happened, unaware of how worried everyone was.”

Shen Bingxin glared at Ling Chen with mild reproach. Even she thought Ling Chen would be buried in the Emperor’s Tomb this time, but unexpectedly, he managed to escape at the last moment, truly surprising her.

”Did you get hold of the Wood Emperor Order?”

Xia Yunxin came to Ling Chen’s side and couldn’t help but ask.

Everyone else immediately perked up; the Wood Emperor Order was of vital importance, and it would be best if Ling Chen had acquired it.

”Xuannv snatched it.”

Ling Chen spread his hands with an expression of helplessness.

”She snatched it?”

Xia Yunxin’s pupils shrank slightly, then glanced meaningfully at Xuannv who was not far away, and said to Ling Chen, ”Are you sure she snatched it, and not you deliberately letting her have it?”

”How could that be, such a precious item like the Wood Emperor Order, why would I let it go to someone else.”

Ling Chen laughed. Indeed, such words might fool others, but not Xia Yunxin.

But Xia Yunxin said nothing further. She knew that Ling Chen must have had his reasons for making such a choice in that situation, and there was no need to break this in front of everyone.

”Since you didn’t get it, let it be. Returning safely is already a great fortune; don’t expect too much.”

Shen Bingxin was rather open-minded and didn’t say anything further, as Ling Chen being able to escape had already eased her greatly.

”The Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao is already powerful, showing signs of becoming the leader of the Seven Great Sects. Now, having acquired the Wood Emperor Order, it might become even more formidable.”

Spiritual Heart Saint looked toward the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao’s area. The Wood Emperor Order should have belonged to Ling Chen, but the sect had taken it, which was somewhat displeasing to her.

Meanwhile, Elder Len in the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao’s area was asking Xuannv the same question.

Without saying much, Xuannv flipped her jade-like hand, revealing a piece of ancient green token in her fair palm, which exuded a very intense life breath.

”The Wood Emperor Order!”

Elder Len and other Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao’s strong ones had their eyes light up instantly upon seeing the Wood Emperor Order in Xuannv’s hand, confirming it was indeed the token.

”Xuan’er, you’ve done very well.”

Elder Len and the other two elders nodded appreciatively, Xuannv was indeed their most valued disciple, who never disappointed them.

With the access to the Wood Emperor Order, their Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao’s influence in the Nine Provinces Sect Realm would undoubtedly gain more weight.

However, Xuannv’s feelings were different from these people. Her peripheral vision subtly shifted to Ling Chen, her heart conflicted; if not for Ling Chen deliberately giving way, the Wood Emperor Order wouldn’t have landed in her hands.

”I’ll repay the favor I owe him altogether later.”

Xuannv sighed inwardly; she didn’t want to owe Ling Chen too much.

”Treasures like the Wood Emperor Order are not meant for you lowly creatures.”

While the group of strong sect members was immersed in celebration, a chilling voice suddenly came from mid-air. Many eyes turned, seeing a thick layer of dark clouds cloaking a nearby peak, with dozens of eerie shadows emerging from beneath.

”It’s them!”

Upon seeing these shadows, Ling Chen’s pupils contracted sharply.

”Who are these people?”

Shen Bingxin’s face grew serious, perceiving the unusual aura of these shadows, she asked quietly.

”Human Demon Hall, Dao Yi True Immortal!”

Ling Chen’s gaze rested on the hooded figure in black leading the group, someone he remembered distinctly due to their unfathomable skill in their previous encounter!

When Emperor Qinling deployed the Sky-Blocking Formation, this group was the only one to break through the formation and escape. Ling Chen had thought they already left, not realizing they were still here, eyeing the Wood Emperor Order!
