Chapter 1881 - 1882: Beneath the Black Abyss!
Xuanlei Hall."Ling Feng kid, you finally came!"
Lei Wencheng rushed over as soon as he saw Ling Feng, grabbed his shoulder and said loudly, "Come on, come on, follow me to the Black Abyss!"
"Black Abyss?"
Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched. He knew that was the place for imprisoning prisoners; the outer area of the Black Abyss merely served as a penalty for disciples failing their missions, while the core of the Black Abyss was truly terrifying.
The place was also where East Spirit Immortal Pond imprisoned some of the worst criminals.
Soon, Ling Feng understood that the Xuanlei Hall Master was likely taking him to meet the last remaining Semi-Saint of the Dragon Sword Mansion.
In the battle that day, the Blood Shadow Alliance brought three strong people of the Dragon Sword Mansion; the Sky Dragon Sword Saint was devoured by Little Golden Fish, Qing Mingzi was also jointly killed by myself and Hui Yue Saintess.
Only the last Semi-Saint remained, although severely injured by Sword Qi expelled by Little Golden Fish, still clinging to life.
How to handle this Semi-Saint has naturally become a major problem.
Lei Wencheng, being responsible for punishment in East Spirit Immortal Pond, took charge of dealing with this Semi-Saint.
However, this person came from Dragon Sword Mansion, which added complications for Lei Wencheng in deciding how to judge this Semi-Saint.
Dragon Sword Mansion is one of the three major forces in West Sword Domain, and completely angering Dragon Sword Mansion would lead to unimaginable consequences.
"Alright then."
Ling Feng nodded; although this battle made East Spirit Immortal Pond act passively, since Dragon Sword Mansion knew I had once killed a disciple of the Long Family, and if the Sky Dragon Sword Saint doesn’t return, they might suspect the Sky Dragon Sword Saint met with a mishap.
If this matter cannot be resolved thoroughly, East Spirit Immortal Pond will always be on edge.
The only way to solve the problem is for me to personally go to West Sword Domain and defeat those people one by one!
Of course, that is the most direct approach; although Ling Feng is confident, he is not arrogant enough.
Facing a Semi-Saint head-on is already quite challenging; facing a Saint Level head-on is suicidal.
Ling Feng’s plan is to use another force to balance against Dragon Sword Mansion.
For example, Du Yue Heaven Palace!
With the deterrence from Du Yue Heaven Palace, Dragon Sword Mansion will naturally be cautious.
During my time in Sunset Ancient City, my relationship with Xiao Juanyun was quite good; this connection can be used to establish ties with Du Yue Heaven Palace.
As long as I show enough value, believe Du Yue Heaven Palace will be willing to cooperate.
After all, Du Yue Heaven Palace does not need to do anything, just need to express their position, then Dragon Sword Mansion won’t dare to act rashly.
And this can temporarily dissolve the threat to East Spirit Immortal Pond.
Ling Feng’s straightforward answer made Lei Wencheng pause for a moment.
He had prepared a lengthy speech to explain the cause and effect to Ling Feng, but unexpectedly, Ling Feng, with a mere glance, guessed everything.
Speaking with smart people is indeed efficient.
"Then let’s go!"
Lei Wencheng shook his head with a bitter smile, originally intending to fly with Ling Feng, but now realized that although Ling Feng appeared to be at the early stage of Heavenly Destiny Realm, his strength likely surpassed his own.
However, his youthful face is misleading.
Soon, the two arrived beneath the Black Abyss.
This place is as the name suggests—an absolutely dark, despairing abyss.
Even at the bottom of the Black Abyss, the Divine Soul Origin is somewhat suppressed.
Lei Wencheng took out a token, handed it to Ling Feng, and said lightly, "Holding this token, you won’t be affected by the Black Abyss."
"Mm."
Ling Feng stored the token away, and indeed the invisible pressure immediately vanished.
Soon, Ling Feng arrived at the cage imprisoning the Semi-Saint.
At this moment, this Semi-Saint strong person was wrapped in iron chains, as thick as arms, with talismans on them, and the iron cage imprisoning him was equipped with several layers of prohibitions—if touched, there would be thunder and lightning, and scorching fire.
The Semi-Saint’s body was drenched in blood, with the smell of burning flesh, clearly suffering significantly.
"Locked up quite securely." Ling Feng couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.
"No choice, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, a Half-Saint is still a Half-Saint."
Lei Wencheng, with a serious expression, said, "If we’re not careful and he escapes back to Dragon Sword Mansion, we’re all finished!"
"Humph!"
Seeing Ling Feng’s arrival, the Semi-Saint’s eyes flared with anger, and he snarled, "You think confining me here means you can rest easy? Our Dragon Sword Mansion elders have Lifebound Soul Lamps in the ancestral temple; a lamp’s extinction signifies death! Now, the soul lamps of Qing Mingzi and the Sky Dragon Sword Saint are extinguished, known by the upper echelon of the Mansion. At that time, your entire East Spirit Immortal Pond will be razed to the ground!"
"Damn!"
Lei Wencheng suddenly started sweating heavily; just one Sky Dragon Sword Saint nearly flattened East Spirit Immortal Pond. If Dragon Sword Mansion sends more strong people, not just East Spirit Immortal Pond, but the entire Eastern Spirit Domain might be conquered.
"If you know what’s good for you, let me go and bind this kid to be handed over to Dragon Sword Mansion. Only then do you have a chance for survival, otherwise..."
The voice abruptly stopped, replaced by Ling Feng, whose hand flashed coldly, already piercing the Semi-Saint’s neck with a sword.
Clang!
Blood poured out like a fountain; the Semi-Saint looked at Ling Feng in complete disbelief, unexpectedly daring to strike.
"Ling... Ling Feng... you!"
Lei Wencheng’s hands trembled; Ling Feng’s action was too swift for even him to notice.
"He already mentioned that each elder has a Lifebound Soul Lamp. Whether we kill him or not, Dragon Sword Mansion’s higher-ups likely already know of the Sky Dragon Sword Saint’s demise."
Ling Feng, with a glint in his eyes, said calmly, "Given that, what purpose does keeping him serve?"
"Though that might be, still..."
Lei Wencheng wanted to say more but seeing the Semi-Saint gradually collapse, could only shake his head.
At this point, saying more is futile.
"Rest assured, as the cause of this matter, I will take full responsibility!"
Ling Feng clenched his fists and said solemnly, "I won’t allow any disciple of East Spirit Immortal Pond to die because of me again! This time, I will take the initiative!"
"Ling Feng, that’s not what I meant. You’re always a part of East Spirit Immortal Pond; without you, I wouldn’t be here today! Your decision is our decision!"
Lei Wencheng took a deep look at Ling Feng’s solemn expression and said seriously, "But you can’t act impulsively; after all, you are East Spirit Immortal Pond’s last hope!"
"I won’t do anything suicidal."
Ling Feng gave a faint smile, knowing he’ll eventually face the Jiuli Divine Race, or even the Sky Patrol Clan. Compared to them, what is Dragon Sword Mansion?
Dragon Sword Mansion is destined to be just a small stepping stone on my journey in Martial Arts!
