Chapter 943: Chapter 944: Yanxia Mountain!
Yanxia Mountain is a special place within the Cangqiong Mountain Range.
On one hand, it is part of the Cangqiong Sect; on the other hand, it can be considered relatively independent, not directly under the sect’s control.
Therefore, Yanxia Mountain is also known as the Holy Land of the Cangqiong Sect, where only the sect’s core disciples are qualified to enter its domain.
After the Royal Sword Team Challenge ended, the Sect Master of the Cangqiong Sect, Yue Zhonglian, once told Ling Feng that he would recommend him to a place beneficial for Pattern Radiance cohesion.
However, for the past month, Ling Feng has been busy treating Gong Cheng’s injuries and rebuilding his Dantian, so he hasn’t had the time to visit the Cangqiong Sect.
Unexpectedly, Yue Yunlan suddenly came looking for him.
According to Yue Yunlan’s narration, Ling Feng learned that the “good place” Yue Zhonglian mentioned actually referred to Yanxia Mountain of the Cangqiong Sect.
Ling Feng followed Yue Yunlan and her servants into the mountain, listening to her describe the mysteries of Yanxia Mountain, gaining a preliminary understanding of this mystical place.
Just in time, he had been having trouble with Pattern Radiance cohesion lately, so gaining something from Yanxia Mountain would be excellent.
“We’re almost there!”
Yue Yunlan looked back at Ling Feng, her beautiful eyes curving into a crescent moon, and smiled gently, “I’ll take you to see my Master first.”
“Master?” Ling Feng touched his nose and then nodded, knowing that with Yue Yunlan’s status, her Master must be quite impressive as well.
“Hehe, my lady’s Master is an Elder of Yanxia Mountain, named Xiao Yun Su. But she also has a more formidable title, known as Yun Miao Sword Emperor.”
Qiaoqiao, not wanting to be left out, interjected.
“Sword Emperor!” Ling Feng’s pupils shrank slightly. To be called a Sword Emperor, a Martial Artist must first possess Emperor Level strength and have significant achievements in Sword Dao.
“My Master is one of the top experts in Yanxia Mountain.” Yue Yunlan said with a hint of pride on her face, “Come on, I’ll take you in.”
With that, Yue Yunlan led Ling Feng into the Mountain Protection Array of Yanxia Mountain. The disciples guarding the mountain bowed respectfully to Yue Yunlan, though puzzled about why the young lady brought a stranger, they dared not question it.
After passing through the Great Formation, there was a seemingly endless staircase leading up the mountain.
Yue Yunlan led Ling Feng up the steps, and occasionally, disciples of the Holy Land passing by greeted her promptly. But when they saw Ling Feng, they couldn’t help but frown, wondering who this person was and why the young lady brought him into the Holy Land.
Moreover, they seemed to be quite intimate!
With Yue Yunlan’s noble identity and her stunning, city-toppling beauty, it was safe to say that all the young men in the Cangqiong Sect saw her as their dream girl. Now their dream girl was so close to an outsider, naturally, they were burning with jealousy, just like cattle trampling on cabbage from their own fields.
Most of these disciples had been cultivating in Yanxia Mountain, completely unaware of Ling Feng’s reputation. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be experiencing such pointless jealousy.
Ling Feng naturally noticed those unfriendly glances from the disciples of Yanxia Mountain, pondering in his heart: Who have I offended?
Finally, Yue Yunlan led Ling Feng into a fairly elegant courtyard, where a middle-aged woman, dressed in purple gauze and beautifully poised, was sitting in a pavilion savoring tea.
Seeing this woman, Yue Yunlan quickly stepped into the pavilion, hugged her shoulders from behind with a hint of shyness, and said, “Master, this is Ling Feng, whom I’ve talked to you about.”
“You’re such a big girl now, yet still act like a child.”
Xiao Yun Su affectionately stroked Yue Yunlan’s cheek a few times. Never married, naturally having no descendants, she cherished this precious disciple immensely.
Yue Yunlan giggled and happily walked to sit across from Xiao Yun Su, pointing at Ling Feng with a delicate finger, and pouted, “Master, he is Ling Feng, who has saved Lan’er’s life several times.”
Before Xiao Yun Su, Yue Yunlan completely transformed into a playful girl, evidently relying heavily on Yun Miao Sword Emperor, even regarding her as a motherly figure.
Xiao Yun Su playfully gave Yue Yunlan a glare, affectionately brushing her little nose, then turned her gaze toward Ling Feng, smiling faintly, “You’re the Ling General who defeated the Royal Sword Team, right? Truly a remarkable talent, a dragon among men!”
“The elder is over-praising.” Ling Feng hurriedly bowed with humility and smiled.
“Given your age and cultivation, having such achievements, you are fully deserving of any praise.”
Xiao Yun Su examined Ling Feng slowly, “No wonder my Red Lotus junior sister also often praised you before me. Not only are your medical skills exceptional, but your martial arts talent is equally heavenly defying.”
The Red Lotus junior sister in Xiao Yun Su’s words was naturally the current Sect Master’s Wife, Red Lotus, also Yue Yunlan’s mother.
Before marrying Yue Zhonglian, the Sect Master, Red Lotus was also a disciple of Yanxia Mountain like Xiao Yun Su.
Ling Feng touched his nose, opting for silence. Excessive modesty at this point would turn into another kind of arrogance.
“Hmm.” Xiao Yun Su nodded, approving Ling Feng’s calm demeanor, “I heard from Lan’er, you boldly defeated Xuanyuan Pozhen?”
Ling Feng pursed his lips slightly, saying calmly, “Not a complete victory; Xuanyuan Pozhen and I had a pact of three moves, it was more of a draw.”
Xiao Yun Su’s pupils shrank slightly, discerning the humility in Ling Feng’s words.
Even though she’d heard it from Yue Yunlan before, hearing Ling Feng admit it personally still surprised Xiao Yun Su.
This young man before her, not yet twenty, faced Xuanyuan Pozhen, a renowned martial arts genius from five or six years ago.
Xiao Yun Su chuckled softly, adjusting her pressure to the level of Divine Origin Realm Sixth Realm Peak, sweeping it toward Ling Feng.
Hearing is one thing, seeing is another. Whether Ling Feng was truly so remarkable required personal verification.
Ling Feng’s body trembled, initiating the Heavenly Sword Formation, directly isolating Xiao Yun Su’s invisible pressure, looking at her with a serene and amiable smile, “Forgive the junior for overstepping, Yun Miao senior.”
Xiao Yun Su gave a soft laugh and withdrew her pressure, already concluding in her mind: Ling Feng was indeed a dragon among men!
