Chapter 1974 - 1975: Heart-washing Sword Pool!
On the other side, Ling Feng, led by Xuanyuan Longteng, left the Inner Court.
Given the strength he had just displayed, he naturally caught the attention of those old geezers.
Thus, they would naturally consider his value carefully.
If they’re not foolish, they should think to use him against the Dragon Sword Mansion.
And this is precisely Ling Feng’s intent.
He uses Du Yue Heaven Palace to buy himself time, while Du Yue Heaven Palace uses him to deal with the Dragon Sword Mansion.
To put it bluntly, it’s mutual exploitation.
Those old geezers at Du Yue Heaven Palace think they’re taking advantage, but in reality, they’re playing right into Ling Feng’s hands.
"Little friend Ling Feng, since all the Elders have decided to carefully consider your request, this matter is basically settled. You just stay at Xuanjian Villa and cultivate well."
Xuanyuan Longteng lightly patted Ling Feng’s shoulder. He had a good impression of Ling Feng and was a person who cherished talent, so he cared for Ling Feng quite a bit.
The matter of Ling Feng defeating the disciple of Muu God Monarch was told to the elders of the nine major families by him, otherwise those stubborn old men would not show Ling Feng any kindness.
"Thank you, Xuanyuan Family Head."
Ling Feng nodded, naturally seeing that Xuanyuan Longteng was not insincere towards him.
"By the way, Xuanyuan Family Head, who is the old lady in the main hall? Everyone seems to respect her greatly, even Elder Xuanyuan seems to have respect for her."
Ling Feng couldn’t help but ask.
"It’s more than just respect," Xuanyuan Longteng laughed, "That is the Wind Witch, the Supreme Elder of the Fung Family, and she has another identity."
"Oh?" Ling Feng couldn’t help but ask, "What identity?"
"She is also the wife of our Xuanyuan Family Master. Although the nine major families jointly govern Du Yue Heaven Palace, our Xuanyuan Family leads because our Xuanyuan Family’s Ancestor is the strongest among the nine Ancestors of the nine major families. In terms of seniority, I have to call her Grandma. However, generally, everyone calls her the Wind Witch. Her strength has probably reached the peak of the Ninth Transition Realm Third Layer, about to advance to the Ninth Transition Realm Fourth Layer."
Ling Feng nodded, having been in Yueelin City for some time, he knew that generally, the ordinary elder-level experts of Du Yue Heaven Palace were almost all at the Half-Saint level.
As for those who reached the Saint Level, they were the Pillar-level figures of Du Yue Heaven Palace.
If he exerted all his strength, the ones he could deal with would probably be those Martial Artists like the Sky Dragon Sword Saint, who had just entered the Ninth Transition Realm First Layer.
The Ninth Transition Realm Second Layer could put him in a desperate situation.
As for the Ninth Transition Realm Third Layer, encountering them would mean certain death.
Previously, the Elder Xuanyuan in the main hall was probably at the Ninth Transition Realm Third Layer in terms of strength; he was lucky to injure him with his Silver Battle Soul and Silver Soul Skill, but if he had really fought against him seriously, he would have been in real danger.
Ling Feng originally thought that Elder Xuanyuan was already the strongest person present, not expecting that the old lady was the most formidable one.
"Alright, I’ll escort you this far. Since you’ve won the top of the Sword Master List, remember not to waste the opportunity to visit the Heart-washing Sword Pool. It’s a great place. You’ll understand once you experience it."
Xuanyuan Longteng smiled faintly at Ling Feng.
"Thank you, Xuanyuan Family Head, for reminding me."
Ling Feng saluted Xuanyuan Longteng once again, as Xuanyuan Longteng mentioned, if the Heart-washing Sword Pool is indeed a great place, he really needs to experience it well.
Returning to his previous accommodation, Ling Feng found that Xiao Juanyun was still there, drinking with Chu Chaonan in the courtyard.
"Hey, Brother Ling, you’ve finally returned!"
Xiao Juanyun’s sharp eyes immediately recognized Ling Feng and rushed to greet him, "Come, come, let’s have some drinks. I’ve already agreed with Brother Chu."
"Brother Chu?" Ling Feng glanced at Chu Chaonan, wondering when these two got involved together.
"Heh heh, I’m just short on money!"
Chu Chaonan grinned, "Brother Xiao said that as long as I teach him a couple of moves, he’ll give me a residence in Yueelin City. Haha, I’ll be a big shot in Yueelin City from now on!"
Ling Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "I say, Brother Chu, are you really planning to retire in Yueelin City?"
"What else can I do? If that old guy catches me, I’m done for! At least I have to lay low for three to five years until he forgets about this."
As soon as Chu Chaonan mentioned Muu God Monarch, he immediately showed an expression of extreme fear, as if Muu God Monarch really were a demon that eats people.
"Alright."
Ling Feng shook his head and chuckled, estimating that he’d be staying in Yueelin City for a while, and if Chu Chaonan also stayed, they could frequently spar.
Although he did beat Chu Chaonan before, it was not easily done; his Heavenly Destiny Six Phases is indeed formidable.
Also, that technique of the Ten Thousand Forms True Sword, Ling Feng is quite interested in; Chu Chaonan would be a great sparring partner.
"Let’s go, let’s drink at Wangjian Building first." Xiao Juanyun chuckled, "I’ll send someone to invite Lady Yeu!"
"Invite her for what?"
Ling Feng raised his hand to touch his nose, finally enjoying some peace after participating in the Sword Master List.
"If I don’t invite that aunt, she’ll beat me up if she finds out! That aunt has a bad temper!"
Xiao Juanyun made a mournful face, having developed a mental shadow about Yeu Junyao since being beaten by her the first time.
Can’t help it, he’s just no match for her.
"Alright, has that woman not caused any trouble with your Xiao Family recently?"
Ling Feng looked at Xiao Juanyun with some sympathy; Yeu Junyao is indeed a bit capricious and does things according to her whims.
Her strength being formidable doesn’t help, she truly is a headache-inducing individual.
"Not too big troubles, just that the aunt can’t sit still, small troubles are constant. I guess only Brother Ling you can handle her."
Xiao Juanyun glanced at Ling Feng and showed a hint of a teasing smile.
Feisty sister-in-law, turning into a little sheep in seconds, the thought is, ahem, exciting!
Ling Feng saw Xiao Juanyun’s increasingly lascivious smile and knew this guy’s mind wasn’t on anything wholesome, rolling his eyes involuntarily, he retorted, "You, dude, no wonder Yeu Junyao beats you, you definitely deserve it!"
Beside them, Chu Chaonan listened without understanding, but it seemed they were talking about a very feisty woman, making him feel somewhat uninterested.
"Heh heh."
Xiao Juanyun grinned, and the more familiar he becomes with this guy, the more he realizes this guy isn’t just sly, but also shameless.
"By the way, as the Champion of the Sword Master List, what’s the deal with the Heart-washing Sword Pool, tell me in detail?"
Ling Feng turned back to Xiao Juanyun, since even the Xuanyuan Family Head held the Heart-washing Sword Pool in high regard, it definitely is a place of note.
