Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 177 Rescue

Lin Feng carried Xiao Yan at high speed along the path outside Black Seal City. Fortunately, with the barrier protecting him, Xiao Yan only felt a little carsick, which Lin Feng naturally ignored.

When Yao Chen saw his foolish disciple making such a fool of himself, he simply went into his storage ring to avoid seeing him.

"Since this pill was auctioned off for Qing Lin, it seems I can't intercept it and use it to trade with Xiao Yan or Yao Lao!"

He glanced briefly at Xiao Yan, whose hair was spun around in his hand, and said, "Looks like you've managed to preserve some of your master's wealth this time!"

"Whoosh"

Using his Dou Zong-level strength to travel using spatial power, Lin Feng, though delayed somewhat, managed to track down the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's trail in a very short time. However, after setting down the dazed Xiao Yan, Lin Feng looked at the battle situation before him.

"It seems the situation at the Heavenly Serpent Palace is still somewhat dire!"

Above the pitch-black night sky, streaks of battle qi of various colors flickered violently, but the situation was already clear. The blood-red battle qi representing Fan Lao, the sect leader of the Blood Sect, had severely suppressed the cyan battle qi representing the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

Besides the two Dou Huang powerhouses, on the ground, the Blood Sect members were clearly suppressing the Heavenly Serpent Mansion members. Lin Feng glanced around and saw Fan Lao, the young sect master of the Blood Sect, who was killing indiscriminately.

Presumably, it's because Lin Feng disrupted the original plot. Afterwards, with his Dou Zong level abilities, how could a small Xue Zong possibly track him down?

"Hahaha, Elder Qing, you are doomed today. I think you have some good looks, why don't you join my ranks?"

Above the pupils of the sky, Fan Lao stood amidst a massive mass of blood, his back adorned with a pair of bloody red wings, his face displaying a lewd expression.

"Hmph, Fan Lao, today your Blood Sect dares to offend my Heavenly Serpent Palace, just wait to be wiped out!"

"You really are asking for trouble! You won't see the consequences of my actions, but I'm certainly in for a treat tonight, my lovely beauty!"

Upon hearing Elder Qing's reply, Fan Lao waved his hand with an extremely gloomy expression, and blood swirls around his body surged, quickly surrounding Elder Qing.

"Lord of the Palace, Holy Maiden, I have failed your trust."

Elder Qing murmured to himself, then his battle aura surged, as if he were about to self-destruct. Seeing this, Fan Lao broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly retreated to a distance.

"Buzz"

Just then, Lin Feng suddenly appeared beside Elder Qing, waving his hand to instantly stop the violent battle qi emanating from Elder Qing. Then, in a flash, he appeared behind Fan Lao, the Blood Sect Master, and spoke a few heartfelt words to him.

"Ahem, you, you are..."

Just when victory seemed within reach, an old silver coin suddenly appeared. Fan Lao's face turned pale, blood gushing from his mouth. With great difficulty, he turned his head and saw Lin Feng's profile. His eyes widened, his face contorted in a terrifying grimace.

"puff"

Seeing that the old ghost seemed to want to say something more, Lin Feng was unmoved and pulled his hand, which was wrapped in the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, out of the old ghost's heart, his expression indifferent.

"The dead should act like the dead, why waste so much breath?"

Lin Feng took out the storage ring from Fan Lao's hand and let Fan Lao's corpse fall from the sky. This mere Dou Huang's body could not even reach the Dou Zun level with the strongest Heavenly Demon Puppet he could refine, so it did not arouse his interest in the slightest.

"metropolitan!"

"Father!"

Upon witnessing the sudden death of Fan Lao, who had maintained the upper hand, Fan Ling and the others were first enraged, then filled with immense fear. They felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads, leaving them drenched in sweat.

"Young Sect Master, run!"

Some loyal Blood Sect members hurriedly pulled Fan Ling, who seemed to be terrified, and fled into the distance. Seeing this, Lin Feng waved his hand, and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame appeared in his palm. Then, he opened his mouth and blew slightly, and it transformed into flames that filled the sky.

In just a few moments, all the Blood Sect members who were desperately trying to escape were killed. Of course, Fan Ling was left behind by Lin Feng.

"Young Sect Master Fan Ling, if you want to live, obediently take me to the Blood Sect's treasure vault!"

"Dead, dead, all dead, hahaha!"

Fan Ling seemed genuinely terrified, laughing maniacally before suddenly exploding before Lin Feng could even stop him. Of course, this was only because Lin Feng hadn't taken it seriously; the Blood Sect's treasure trove wasn't known to only Fan Ling.

After collecting all the storage rings, Lin Feng slowly approached the people of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion who were sitting cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed, and slowly spoke.

"Gentlemen, my name is Lin Feng, and I would like to ask you some information."

"Lord Lin Feng, I am Qingman from the Heavenly Serpent Manor. I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace today. The Heavenly Serpent Manor will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"

Upon seeing Lin Feng's arrival, Qing Man hurriedly stood up and clasped her hands in a fist salute.

"Elder Qing, please answer my question first. How is your Holy Maiden Qing Lin doing now?" Lin Feng was too lazy to listen to these polite words, so he waved his hand slightly and continued to ask.

"How did Lord Lin Feng know my Holy Maiden's name?" Qingman, who had initially been grateful, became extremely wary after hearing Lin Feng's question. She knew that the Holy Maiden, possessing the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, was the only hope for the Heavenly Serpent Palace's resurgence and return to the Central Plains.

Before the saintess, one would sacrifice everything, including her life.

Seeing Elder Qing's wariness, Lin Feng smiled slightly and, without keeping anyone in suspense, immediately explained the relationship between Qing Lin and himself.

"I see. I never imagined that Lord Lin Feng was actually the Holy Maiden's brother. No wonder he has such cultivation at such a young age. If the Holy Maiden knew of Lord Lin Feng's current achievements, she would surely be extremely pleased."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's explanation of the whole story, Qing Man became even more respectful towards him, and immediately recounted the current situation of her Holy Maiden. She had no doubt that Lin Feng was deceiving her, after all, she was only a severely injured Dou Huang, and even Fan Lao was powerless against Lin Feng, so why would Lin Feng need to lie to her?

"To be honest, Lord Lin Feng, the Holy Maiden's talent is extremely strong. She is now the hope of the entire Heavenly Serpent Mansion and is treated like a treasure within the mansion."

"Well, if that's the case, then I'm relieved!" Lin Feng carefully observed Qing Man's expression and knew that she wasn't lying. However, in the original story, Qing Lin was forced into marriage. Could it be that this matter hasn't happened yet, or is Qing Man's level too low to know about it?

After thinking for a while without getting an answer, Lin Feng shook his head. "Alright, after some time, when Zi Yan or Xian'er comes out of seclusion, I'll go to the Heavenly Serpent Palace! If Qing Lin is unhappy then, I can just take her away!"
