Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

"Bring her out, and I might consider sparing your life!"

Ling Feng stared coldly at Xi Lan, and the murderous aura emanating from him made Xi Lan tremble with fear.

"no no……"

"No?" Ling Feng's eyebrows furrowed. "You want to taste that again?"

"no!"

Professor Hilan immediately shook his head vigorously and said urgently, "That's not what I meant!"

He swallowed hard, then said in a trembling voice, "I...I need to enter the lowest level of the 'Eternal Spirit Realm'..."

His face showed extreme difficulty and fear: "We need...we need two keys. One is with me, the Soul Key, and the other is...in the hands of Professor Yang Ning of the 'Life Sequence,' the Life Key. Both keys must be used simultaneously to open the Eternal Spirit Realm..."

He paused, glanced at Ling Feng, and then whispered, "No... otherwise, once someone is detected attempting to force their way in, the Eternal Spirit Realm will trigger its highest-level self-destruct program, and the entire sample database... including all the samples within it, will... will... will be instantly annihilated..."

Ling Feng's gaze sharpened.

The security measures here are ridiculously tight!

He secretly rejoiced that he hadn't tried to force his way into the original sample library to rescue Bingqing's original body.

"Yang Ning..."

Ling Feng's expression darkened slightly. He had already gained some understanding of Yang Ning from Heath's memories.

This person is indeed a top-notch researcher whose abilities are on par with Professor Sheeran.

However, since he was able to control Xilan without anyone noticing, Yang Ning was naturally no problem either.

"last question."

Ling Feng stared at Xi Lan, his chilling killing intent causing Xi Lan to tremble. "M-Master, please ask."

"Can you reverse the split soul, reunite the three personalities, and awaken the original consciousness?"

“This…” Xilan looked a little embarrassed.

"cannot?"

Ling Feng's gaze turned cold again, and the murderous aura he had forcibly suppressed seemed to be about to burst forth once more.

"Yes! I have a way!"

Hiran almost screamed in fright. He swallowed hard, his eyes darting around, and trembled as he said, "It's...it's very difficult for me alone, but!"

Seeing Ling Feng's expression darken again, he quickly said, "Theoretically, Professor Yang Ning's research direction should definitely be helpful! I... I can take you to him, and we can not only get the two keys, but also save your friend!"

Ling Feng looked at him coldly. How could he not see through the old man's intention to shift the blame and kill someone else?
He simply wanted to drag Yang Ning down with him.

These two seem to be mortal enemies.

He could die himself, but he could never watch his mortal enemy still roaming freely outside.

interesting!
Ling Feng's gaze sharpened, even though he knew perfectly well what this guy was up to.

But since he wanted to obtain the two keys, he had to find Yang Ning.

"You'd better believe it!"

Ling Feng stared coldly at Xi Lan, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.

His cold, sharp gaze made Xilan feel uneasy. He repeatedly said, "In front of you, I dare not utter a single falsehood! Although I am usually dissatisfied with Yang Ning, he is indeed the most helpful person to you at present."

"is it?"

Ling Feng's lips curled into a cold smile. "In that case, you seem to have no value in existing."

"No! No! Please spare my life, Your Excellency!"

Professor Xilan was terrified, tears streaming down her face. "I'm useful... I'm still useful! I know many of Yang Ning's secrets, I can help you! I can help you lure him out! Or... or help you infiltrate his lab! I just beg you, sir, spare my life!"

Looking at Xilan's disgraceful state at his feet, Ling Feng felt even more contempt.

Does this kind of person deserve to be called a "professor"?
"I'll spare your life for now."

Ling Feng said calmly, "Next, do as I say. You'd better not try anything funny, otherwise, I can let you experience that feeling again anytime, and it will be... eternal."

Professor Shilan trembled and quickly said, "No! No!"

"Where is the key to the Eternal Spirit Realm that you spoke of?"

"In the……"

"Ok?"

Ling Feng frowned, and Xi Lan immediately took out a chip the size of a fingernail from a safe in the lounge and presented it with both hands.

"This is the first key to the Eternal Spirit Realm!"

He was now completely under Ling Feng's control and dared not have any other thoughts.

Ling Feng took the chip, scanned it with his divine sense, and after confirming that it was correct, he casually put it away.

At the same time, he was quickly calculating in his mind.

The situation in the inner courtyard was far more complicated than he had anticipated.

I thought getting through all the external checkpoints would be quite troublesome.

Unexpectedly, it takes obtaining two keys at the same time to open the Eternal Spirit Realm.

Moreover, helping Bingqing recover will probably not be easy.

But no matter what, I will never give up any hope.

He stared intently at Xilan and said coldly, "Now, contact Yang Ning. Find a reasonable excuse to get him to leave his lab and go to... a place where it's convenient for me to make my move. Remember, if he becomes suspicious or leaks even a hint of information, you'll be the first to die."

Professor Sheeran was sweating profusely. He knew he was completely on the wrong path and there was no turning back.

He gritted his teeth, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes—

Even if I die this time, Yang Ning must die before me!

"Yes... sir! I know what to do!"

Professor Sheeran took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound calm, and activated the encrypted communicator on his wrist.

The screen lit up, and he adjusted his expression before speaking, "Professor Yang."

On the other side of the screen appeared a middle-aged man with a lean face, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and exuding a calm and composed demeanor.

At that moment, Professor Yang Ning on the screen was reviewing a data report. Hearing this, he didn't even look up, only giving a curt "hmm" in a distant tone: "Professor Xilan? Is something the matter?"

Xilan swallowed hard and said in a deep voice, "Professor Yang, do you have time? I have some personal matters I'd like to discuss with you."

"Personal matters? I don't recall there being any personal matters between us that we needed to discuss."

Yang Ning remained uninterested. "If there's nothing else, I hope Professor Xilan won't waste each other's time."

Xilan's lips twitched, suppressing the urge to curse, and forced a bitter smile: "Old Yang, don't say that... I really do have something to ask you about, something I need your... cough cough, help with."

Yang Ning then raised his head, glanced sharply at Xi Lan through his gold-rimmed glasses, and a faint sneer curled at the corner of his mouth: "Help? Haha, Xi Lan, did your experiment fail again and confuse you? What makes you think I would help you?"

A bead of sweat instantly appeared on Xilan's forehead. He secretly glanced at Ling Feng beside him, whose eyes were icy cold, and quickly said, "Okay! I... I admit it, I'm in big trouble! I'm stuck on a critical bottleneck and I can't break through it no matter what I do!" His face showed just the right amount of anxiety and a hint of humiliation.

"Lady Siyou is pressuring me too much. I can tell she's running out of patience. If I don't produce results soon, I might not even be able to save my life! Old Yang, for the sake of our years as colleagues, please help me this once! I won't let you help me for nothing!"

He paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "I... I'm willing to exchange my three treasured 'Spirit Void Crystals' for it! How about it?"

"Spiritual Void Crystal?"

Professor Yang Ning on the other side of the screen was clearly taken aback. He pushed up his glasses and carefully examined Xi Lan, as if trying to find a flaw in his face.

Hilan has always been arrogant and conceited, never admitting defeat. How could he actually be so humble as to ask me for help today?

They even brought out the Spirit Void Crystal?

Yang Ning finally put down the report in his hand, leaned forward slightly, and showed a hint of amusement and wariness on his face. "This doesn't sound like something Professor Xilan would say. What, are you finally willing to admit defeat?"

Hilan's face flushed and paled in turns, as if she had been greatly insulted, but she had no choice but to swallow her anger and grit her teeth, saying, "Yes! I admit defeat! The situation is beyond my control! No matter how important face is, it's not as important as my life! Old Yang, just tell me if you'll help or not! Give me a straight answer!"

Yang Ning remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing his options.

Hiran's predicament seemed genuine, and the Spirit Crystal was indeed tempting.

Moreover, seeing his old rival beg him so humbly, his old rival who had fought him all his life bowing his head and admitting defeat!

This feeling... is quite nice.

"Hmph, Professor Sheeran, you've finally met your match?"

Yang Ning snorted softly, but finally nodded. "Alright, I'm not really interested in helping you, but for the sake of the Spirit Void Crystal, I can give you some pointers."

Xilan was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly said, "Alright, Lao Yang, let's meet at the old materials warehouse in B7 in a quarter of an hour. It's quiet there and no one will bother us. Cough cough, I... I don't want anyone else to see me like this."

The B7 warehouse is indeed remote and rarely visited, making it an ideal location for "private transactions".

"Hahaha!"

Yang Ning couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Even at a time like this, you're still so stubborn! Fine, remember to bring your Spirit Void Crystal!"

"Of course!"

Communication hang up.

Hilan let out a long sigh, his old face terribly gloomy.

Yang Ning, just you wait and see! You'll be crying soon enough!
He forced a smile and turned to look at Ling Feng: "Sir, he agreed."

Ling Feng nodded expressionlessly, then gently patted his shoulder. "Well done. As long as everything goes smoothly, you and your nephew will both be alive after it's done."

"Yes... thank you, sir!"

Xilan wiped away her cold sweat, gritting her teeth as she said, "Sir, could you please kill that Yang Ning afterward? Such a big thing needs someone to take the blame, right?"

"Hum hum……"

Ling Feng glanced down at Xi Lan and said, "You really are a cunning old fox!"

"Hehe...hehe..."

Hilan quickly replied with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, sir!"

……

Fifteen minutes later, in the old materials warehouse of Zone B7.

The place was filled with obsolete old equipment and various odds and ends. The air was thick with dust and the smell of rusty metal. The lighting was dim, with only a few emergency lights emitting a faint glow.

Hilan and Ling Feng, disguised as "Hiss," were already waiting there.

squeak-

The rusty warehouse door was pushed open, and a figure walked in against the light from the outside passageway—it was Professor Yang Ning.

He was still wearing his crisp research robe, his gold-rimmed glasses reflecting a faint light, his expression carrying a hint of vigilance and scrutiny.

He spotted Sheeran standing in the center of the warehouse and the "Heath" behind him with his head down.

"Hilan, really, why did you have to choose a place like this?"

Yang Ning frowned, glancing around but finding nothing unusual. He still subconsciously kept a certain distance.

Xilan forced an awkward smile and stepped forward: "Old Yang, you're here... Sigh, I had no choice, it's embarrassing!"

As he spoke, he seemingly unintentionally led Yang Ning deeper into the warehouse, to where Ling Feng was.

Yang Ning's attention seemed to be drawn to Xi Lan's "complaints," but he kept an eye on his surroundings out of the corner of his eye.

As he passed by Heath, who was looking down, he paused slightly and his gaze fell on Heath.

"Is this your nephew Heath?"

Yang Ning adjusted his glasses, his tone softening slightly. "Heath, I've heard of you. You published a very insightful paper on 'nonlinear primordial energy decay' during your time at the Judgment Academy. To be honest, your research direction is actually more suitable for my 'Life Sequence' lab. Staying in the 'Well of Souls' is a bit of a waste of your talents."

Ling Feng's body trembled slightly.

Strictly speaking, it should be the instinctive reaction of Heath, whom he was controlling, upon hearing that his paper had been praised.

"Professor Yang, you flatter me."

Ling Feng smiled modestly, then looked up at Yang Ning and said, word by word, "But now, I have another matter that I need your help with."

"what?"

Yang Ning's eyelids twitched, and he turned to look at Ling Feng.

At that moment, a sharp glint flashed in Ling Feng's eyes!

hum! ! !
A powerful aura instantly descended.

The phantom of the Eastern Emperor Bell appeared out of thin air, and the bell rang softly, creating ripples in the space!

Immediately afterwards, the Eastern Emperor Bell tore open a crack, and Ling Feng waved his hand, simultaneously bringing Xilanhe and Yang Ning inside.

"what?!"

Professor Yang Ning's expression changed drastically; in an instant, everything before his eyes seemed to shift and change.

Then, we entered the space inside the Eastern Emperor Bell.

"This...what is this place?"

He glared at Xilan, his expression a mixture of shock and rage: "Xilan! You old bastard, how dare you scheme against me?! What, what are you trying to do?!"

However, Xilan ignored him and instead knelt down in front of Xis with a thud, banging her head on the ground, her voice trembling and choked with sobs: "My lord! I have not failed you! Yang Ning... Yang Ning has been tricked! My lord, please keep your promise and spare my worthless life!"

Professor Yang Ning: "???"

He was completely dumbfounded!
what is happening?
Could it be that even that old geezer, Hiran, was outmaneuvered by this kid?

That boy...

Not Heath?! (End of Chapter)
