Chapter 216 Undeterred, Wan Renwang and Ling Feng Return to Liupo Mountain
After calming his anger slightly, Wanren slowly turned around and looked at Qinglong and Youji standing behind him.
These two were holy envoys of the Ghost King Sect, and had always been his right-hand men.
It can be said that these two individuals made significant contributions to the Ghost King Sect's current scale and achievements.
Then, ten thousand people went to the Azure Dragon and asked:
"I previously ordered you to send men to investigate Ling Feng's whereabouts. Has any news come back?"
Faced with the question posed by Wan Renwang, Qinglong couldn't help but smile wryly, gently shaking his head as he replied:
"Since Ling Feng left Qingyun Mountain, he has vanished without a trace, as if he had evaporated into thin air. Even the spies we sent out have found nothing."
Upon hearing this, Wan Renwang couldn't help but sigh, appearing quite helpless.
Ever since he witnessed Ling Feng's formidable strength on Qingyun Mountain, he has been determined to recruit him into his ranks.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and so far, they haven't gotten a single clue about Ling Feng.
However, despite everyone searching everywhere, they still couldn't find the slightest trace of him.
Left with no other choice, he could only continue to wait.
Just then, as if a flash of inspiration struck him, he suddenly remembered something of utmost importance, so he quickly turned around and eagerly asked You Ji on the other side:
"Yao'er is always inseparable from Ling Feng. Do you have any news about Yao'er?"
Upon hearing this, Youji shook her head slightly and slowly replied:
"Before the great battle began, some people saw them ascend Qingyun Mountain, but since then, no news of her has been heard."
Throughout the past, Youji has always acted as Biyao's protector, wholeheartedly safeguarding Biyao's safety.
However, since Biyao and Lingfeng started traveling together, she no longer followed Biyao around as much as before.
Seeing that he couldn't get the information he wanted from Youji either, Wanrenwang was filled with disappointment. He slumped into his chair like a deflated balloon, feeling utterly dejected.
To be honest, he wasn't worried about Biyao's safety.
After all, Biyao is now by Lingfeng's side. With Lingfeng's abilities, there are probably very few people in the world who have the strength to harm Biyao.
However, the thought of her beautiful, clever, and intelligent daughter soon falling into another man's arms was unbearable.
And yet, he, as the father, has yet to even see the man who is about to take away his precious daughter.
Whenever he thought of this, an indescribable pain and bitterness would well up in his heart.
He always felt a deep sense of guilt towards Biyao.
This sense of indebtedness made him always cautious when dealing with Biyao, never interfering with any decisions or actions she made.
He once even had the idea of trying to establish some kind of connection between Biyao and Lingfeng and bring them to the Ghost King Sect.
However, harsh reality ruthlessly shattered his original beautiful vision.
Currently, they haven't even seen Ling Feng's face, let alone implemented that so-called win-over plan.
Wanren stood alone in place, lost in thought for a while.
After careful consideration, he finally made up his mind to return to the main hall of the Ghost King Sect on Fox Ridge Mountain first.
Despite the fact that this war between good and evil, which he personally instigated, not only failed to achieve any results, but also caused the Ghost King Sect to suffer extremely heavy losses.
Even so, Wanrenwang would never give up easily. On the contrary, his determination to achieve his goal became even stronger and more persistent.
He slowly reached out and gently stroked the mysterious and powerful magic weapon in his hand—the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron.
Immediately afterwards, he turned his head, his gaze piercing as he looked at Qinglong and Youji, and then gave the order in an unquestionable tone:
"Let's set off immediately to return to Fox Hill!"
Also, you two should keep a close eye on the latest news regarding the sacred beasts.
Upon hearing Wanrenwang's instructions, Qinglong and Youji dared not be negligent in the slightest and quickly nodded in agreement.
After Qinglong and Youji had properly handled all the relevant matters, they embarked on their journey back to Fox Ridge Mountain together.
At the same time, Ling Feng also led Bi Yao and the others away from Qingyun Mountain.
Soon, they arrived at Heyang City again.
This bustling city remains vibrant and full of life, with crowds of people moving through its streets and alleys.
Various hawking cries and shouts rose and fell, never ceasing, completely unaffected by the battle between good and evil on Qingyun Mountain.
Ling Feng already had a preliminary plan and calculation in mind regarding his next move.
During the battle between good and evil, the mysterious sword in his hand sensed something. This sense was not only directed at the fragment of the Immortal Execution Sword, but it also detected the presence of four different fragments.
However, at that time, the perfect opportunity to acquire the Zhuxian Sword presented itself. After weighing the pros and cons, Ling Feng decisively decided to temporarily set aside the pursuit of other fragments and first obtain the Zhuxian Sword.
Now that Ling Feng has obtained the Immortal Execution Sword, he will not let go of the other three fragments.
The remaining three fragments are all under the control of the demonic forces.
One of them is the four-legged cauldron in the hands of Wanrenwang, the leader of the Ghost King Sect—the legendary Fulong Cauldron;
The other item is the Qiankun Qingguang Ring held by Qinglong, the Holy Envoy of the Ghost King Sect.
In addition, the whereabouts of the last fragment are gradually coming to light.
It is currently in the hands of a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, and according to Biyao, the person who possesses this fragment is Jin Ping'er, a true disciple of the Hehuan Sect.
This fragment is the Purple Light Blade, a magical artifact she used. This artifact has a unique and strange shape, and its appearance is both a knife and a sword, giving people a sense of mystery.
However, no matter what, Ling Feng was determined to collect all these fragments.
Even if he had to resort to force to seize it, it would put no pressure on him whatsoever.
You know, he was able to successfully acquire even the Zhuxian Sword, which the Qingyun Sect regarded as its most precious treasure. So how could the other fragments escape his grasp?
Furthermore, through the fragments that have been found, Ling Feng has already gleaned some key information from them.
It turns out that these fragments all belong to the legendary Nine Heavens Divine Weapons!
This astonishing discovery instantly clarified Ling Feng's direction and goal in searching for the fragments.
But the most urgent thing at this moment is undoubtedly to get our hands on the three fragments that have already been discovered.
Therefore, Ling Feng decided to go to the Hehuan Sect first and try to take the Purple Blade from Jin Ping'er.
As for the other two fragments possessed by the Ghost King Sect, Ling Feng chose to remain inactive for the time being.
After all, given the current situation, Wan Renwang is his future father-in-law!
Faced with such a special relationship, Ling Feng really hadn't figured out what method he should use to successfully obtain the Fulong Cauldron from Wan Renwang.
Given their close relationship with Biyao, using forceful methods would be inappropriate.
The problem is that Ling Feng is determined to get the Fulong Cauldron from Wan Renwang, which gives Ling Feng a headache.
Therefore, after careful consideration and repeated weighing of the options, Ling Feng finally decided to get his hands on the mysterious purple blade in Jin Ping'er's hands first.
The group rested briefly in Heyang City and stayed overnight.
The next morning, when it was still barely light, Ling Feng began preparations to set off.
Because he knew very well that the sooner he got his hands on the fragments, the sooner he could avoid any possible changes or accidents, as the saying goes, "the longer the night, the more dreams may arise!"
However, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and the others will not travel with Ling Feng.
They planned to return to Fox Ridge Mountain to check on the situation at the Heavenly Fox Clan's residence.
And so, the group bid each other farewell in Heyang City and went their separate ways.
In the end, only Ling Feng and Bi Yao remained to continue their journey together.
However, for the two of them, having fewer third wheels also provided an excellent opportunity to be alone.
Speaking of the Hehuan Sect, Ling Feng wasn't very familiar with it, and didn't even know where to look for traces of this sect.
Fortunately, Biyao was by his side. As the eldest daughter of the Ghost King Sect, Biyao naturally had a deeper and more thorough understanding of the Hehuan Sect, which was also a demonic sect, than Ling Feng.
Through Biyao, Lingfeng learned that the Hehuan Sect's headquarters were actually located in Xiaoyaojian, Liupo Mountain.
Upon hearing this news, Ling Feng was quite surprised.
After all, Kui Niu appeared at Liupo Mountain, but at that time, as the main base of the Hehuan Sect, almost no Hehuan Sect disciples were seen.
Ling Feng originally thought that he would probably never set foot on Liupo Mountain again.
However, fate is always unpredictable, and now a reason has emerged that he cannot refuse, forcing him to set foot on this land again.
Without hesitation, Ling Feng and Bi Yao used their aerial flight techniques to speed towards Liupo Mountain.
It is conceivable that after that thrilling battle between good and evil came to an end, everyone in the Hehuan Sect should have returned.
Freed from burdens and constraints, Ling Feng and Bi Yao went all out on this trip, pushing their speed to the limit.
In just half a day, they arrived at Xiaochi Town, located on the coast of the East China Sea.
However, Ling Feng did not linger there for long.
After a short rest, they set off again without stopping, flying swiftly towards Liupo Mountain.
With Ling Feng's current profound magical power, crossing that turbulent ocean would be a piece of cake.
Even if he brought Biyao along, it would be a piece of cake for him.
The two of them floated in mid-air, their figures like two bolts of lightning streaking across the sky.
Above my head was a vast sky, clear and azure blue, like a jewel.
Beneath your feet lies the same boundless, shimmering blue sea.
This scene made them seem like legendary immortals, otherworldly and ethereal.
When they reached the vast expanse of the East China Sea, they stopped rushing as before and slowed down to fully enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the moment.
The sea breeze gently caressed their clothes, bringing a touch of coolness, as if telling untold stories from the depths of the ocean.
However, no matter how beautiful the scenery, it is difficult to avoid the moment when people experience aesthetic fatigue.
After basking in the magnificent view of the sea and sky for a moment, the two regained their composure and continued on their journey.
Before long, a majestic mountain peak rising above the sea came into view—that was the legendary Liupo Mountain.
Following Biyao's instructions, the two headed straight for Xiaoyaojian, the headquarters of the Hehuan Sect.
Without such precise guidance, Ling Feng would probably never have known that the Hehuan Sect's headquarters were hidden here, even after a lifetime of searching.
At first glance, Xiaoyao Ravine looks no different from any other mountain ravine.
It has neither breathtaking scenery nor striking, unique features.
Upon arriving at this point, even Biyao seemed at a loss for what to do.
Although she knew that the Hehuan Sect's headquarters were located in the Xiaoyao Ravine, as an outsider, she had no idea how to get in.
Fortunately, Ling Feng had recently become quite proficient in the art of formations. After careful observation and contemplation, he soon became keenly aware of the formation fluctuations hidden all around him.
That makes sense, since Xiaoyaojian is the headquarters of the Hehuan Sect, and its protective measures are naturally extraordinary.
Now that he had detected the existence of the formation, breaking it would be a piece of cake for Ling Feng.
However, Ling Feng's purpose in coming here was not simply to break the formation, but to ask for a magical treasure.
Despite his exceptional strength, out of respect for etiquette and the rules of the martial arts world, Ling Feng decided to adopt a strategy of diplomacy first, followed by force.
Just as Ling Feng was rubbing his hands together, ready to challenge him, he suddenly felt his vision become unreal and hazy.
Then, a deep and dark portal seemed to appear out of thin air, silently opening not far ahead.
The moment the portal appeared, it exuded a strange aura that inspired awe.
Immediately afterwards, a graceful and alluring figure, like a fairy descending to earth, emerged from the doorway.
She was wearing a pink dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, as beautiful and delicate as a blooming flower.
Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows as dark as distant mountains, her eyes as clear as autumn water, her lips as red as rouge without any makeup, and her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, swaying gently and radiating a captivating glow.
This beautiful figure was the very person Ling Feng had come to find – Jin Ping'er.
She moved with light, graceful steps, heading straight towards Ling Feng's direction.
Behind her followed several female disciples, also from the Hehuan Sect.
These female disciples were all exceptionally beautiful and had graceful figures, forming a breathtakingly beautiful scene together with Jin Ping'er.
When Ling Feng's gaze fell upon Jin Ping'er's figure, his tense nerves instantly relaxed, and his mood brightened considerably.
For no other reason than that this stunningly beautiful woman was his target for this trip.
