Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 189 Qinglin in Seclusion

Inside the Heavenly Serpent Palace's conference room, just as the elders, united in purpose, briefly set aside their factional disputes and planned to set out together to conquer the Black Corner Region,

A light, airy voice abruptly silenced the many blushing elders. They exchanged glances, all noticing the awkwardness in each other's expressions.

"Elder Qing, next time you can just say everything at once!"

"Absolutely! Absolutely!"

Elder Qing paused for a moment, but ignored the group of old fogies. After all, she had rendered meritorious service in escorting the seventh-grade pills, and had been a major contributor recently. No one would want to deal with her at this time. Otherwise, it would be disheartening. Of course, she had already used this pill delivery as an opportunity to join the Holy Maiden's faction.

As for the reasons, one is the Saintess's talent, which destined her to be the true ruler of the Heavenly Serpent Palace in the future, unlike the current Palace Master who needs to balance various parties. The other is that she recently witnessed the Saintess's brother's extraordinary talent, which has already been transformed into strength.

Even during the time she was working alongside Lin Feng, she made no attempt to seduce him, saying, "It's a pity that Lord Lin Feng doesn't find my appearance attractive. Otherwise, if I had become Lord Lin Feng's bedmate, why would I still be living under someone else's thumb here?"

"Everyone," Elder Qing said, no longer keeping things in suspense, knowing that Lin Feng was waiting in the reception room. "The reason I was able to turn the tide and even destroy the Blood Sect was thanks to the help of my Holy Maiden brother!"

"Furthermore," Elder Qing paused deliberately, as if noticing the expressions on the faces of the other elders, "I also learned that the Holy Maiden's brother's alchemy skills have reached a level sufficient to refine a Breakthrough Pill!"

"Hiss hiss hiss"

The fact that Lin Feng was a Dou Zong powerhouse in his early twenties, and also a peak sixth-grade alchemist, made the many elders gasp in astonishment as they recalled his achievements.

Green Barbarian, who had already sat down, was also somewhat dazed. She had always held that exceptionally talented young man in high regard a few years ago. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed in the capital of Jiama for so long.

However, who would have thought that she would be such a monstrous talent? Thinking of this, Green Barbarian couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had grown closer to the Holy Maiden over the years.

"Moreover," Green Barbarian licked her alluring lips, a hint of anticipation rising in her heart, "over the years, I've collected nearly two sets of Breakthrough Pills. If this little fellow Lin Feng—no, if Lord Lin Feng still remembers that favor from back then—my path to becoming a Dou Zong has hope!"

Perhaps the shock that Lin Feng's achievements brought to everyone was too great, because after a long while, an elder finally spoke up.

"Lord of the Manor, has the Holy Maiden's brother come here to take her back?"

This person was none other than the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Serpent Palace. He was a wise and experienced man who instantly saw through the essence of the matter.

Upon hearing this, the elders who were immersed in Zhenhang quickly came to their senses.

"Yes, Lord, if the Holy Maiden insists on going with her brother, then we have no excuse to stop her!"

"Hmph, so what if the Holy Maiden's brother is a Dou Zong? Does he think he can forcibly take her from my Heavenly Serpent Palace?"

At this moment, a hot-tempered elder shouted, clearly someone who spoke without thinking.

"Fool, in just a few years, your alchemy skills have reached the peak of the sixth rank, and your cultivation level has even reached the Dou Zong realm."

An elder with a cold expression said coldly, "Even a fool can see that there must be a powerful force or a top expert behind them. If we are not careful, my Heavenly Serpent Palace may be in danger of destruction."

"you"

The elder who was called a fool immediately turned liver-colored, but seeing that all the other elders were looking at him as a fool, he muttered something under his breath and fell silent.

"Alright, the most important thing now is how to deal with this young prodigy. We certainly can't let the Holy Maiden be taken away by him, but we also can't afford to offend her. Everyone, please feel free to share your ideas!"

"this"

After the current lord spoke, the elders looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Upon seeing this scene, the lord of the manor couldn't help but sigh with a headache. These people were indeed experts at internal strife, but once they faced external threats, all the pressure fell on him, the lord of the manor.

"Very well, since everyone has no objections, Elder Green Barbarian and Elder Green will accompany me to discuss matters with Master Lin Feng later. Meeting adjourned!"

As soon as the current head of the manor finished speaking, he turned and left the meeting room. The other elders could only sigh helplessly and gradually departed as well.

"Hahaha," accompanied by a hearty laugh, the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace, who had just left without any politeness, reappeared in the reception room where Lin Feng and the others were, his face flushed, showing no trace of his earlier displeasure. Behind him followed Green Barbarian and Elder Qing.

"Master Lin Feng, you've kept us waiting!"

"Lord Lin Feng!"

"Master Lin Feng!"

After the Lord of the Manor spoke, Green Barbarian and Elder Qing behind him also spoke in succession, their expressions respectful. At this moment, Green Barbarian, who was behind the Lord of the Manor, slightly raised his head and glanced at the boy who was still very young a few years ago, but now he had rendered the Heavenly Serpent Manor helpless, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Haha, Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace and Elder Qing, you're too kind," Lin Feng slowly rose and clasped his hands in greeting. Then, he smiled slightly at the Green Barbarian behind the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace, who was sighing with emotion. "Commander Green Barbarian, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

"Thank you for your concern, Master Lin Feng. Thanks to the Holy Maiden, things are going very well lately."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's greeting, Lü Man was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting that the Holy Maiden's brother, even after growing to such an extent, would still be so refined and easygoing.

"I must also thank Commander Green Barbarian for taking care of Qinglin back then!" Lin Feng waved his hand, not taking it to heart. He had seen Green Barbarian's care for Qinglin a few years ago and felt a little grateful.

After chatting with Lü Man for a few minutes, Lin Feng got to the main topic of his visit.

"Lord of the Manor, where is Qinglin now?"

Lin Feng also felt a little strange at this moment. Based on his understanding of Qing Lin, if she knew he was coming, she would have come immediately! But this time he had been waiting for almost half an hour and there was still no news of Qing Lin. Could it be that the Heavenly Serpent Mansion had imprisoned Qing Lin?

Lin Feng thought about it and then felt it was impossible. After all, given the status of the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, it was the number one in the entire Heavenly Serpent Palace.

"Master Lin Feng, you may not know this, but the Holy Maiden entered the forbidden area of ​​inheritance a year ago for seclusion. According to the records in the manor's history books, the few owners of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil from thousands of years ago all spent at least five years before emerging from seclusion! In my opinion, the Holy Maiden should have emerged around the same time."
