Chapter 2169 - 2170: Fung Yun Rises Again!
...
Meanwhile, while Ling Feng and his companions were busy participating in the hunting competition in the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, Guan Shanyue and the others, who had been chased away by Ling Feng, had long given up their qualifications for the competition and fled back to the Du Yue Heaven Palace in disgrace.
Despite a considerable amount of time passing, just thinking about the scars on their necks made them tremble uncontrollably.
"What, your injuries were caused by Ling Feng?"
The first Hall Master, Jian Guangyi, showed an incredulous expression on his face.
That person, who was clearly dead, miraculously resurrected?
"It’s him. He’s not only back but stronger!"
Guan Shanyue turned pale and spoke in a trembling voice, "Just one sword, only one sword, I couldn’t even see how he attacked, but there’s an extra sword scar on my neck."
Gongshu Liang, somewhat more composed, also spoke with a cold face, "He indeed became stronger, and unfathomably so!"
"How is that possible?"
Jian Guangyi was still in disbelief; could the news from the Supreme Elders be false?
Besides, Ling Feng was hit by the Soul Sealing curse!
That Forbidden Curse of the Demon Clan is terrifyingly sinister, and theoretically, it should be impossible to break.
But Ling Feng, how has he become stronger?
This guy, he’s truly an abnormal monster.
"However, even though his sword was fast, indeed, there was no Elemental Power fluctuation. It seems he’s truly sealed."
Gongshu Liang continued speaking.
"Can someone be this strong even when sealed?" Jian Guangyi took a deep breath but quickly snorted coldly, "But no matter how strong he is, he ultimately has his limits. Now Senior Brother Dongfang has already reached the Saint Level; his realm is beyond Ling Feng’s reach. Even if Ling Feng has grown stronger, in Senior Brother Dongfang’s eyes, he’s just a slightly stronger ant! So there’s no need for us to panic!"
"Indeed, we have Senior Brother Dongfang!"
Guan Shanyue seemed to grasp at a lifeline, laughing heartily, "Ling Feng, even if you return, so what, it’s just self-inflicted humiliation!"
...
And quickly, the news of Ling Feng’s return spread throughout the city, just as Ling Feng had anticipated.
"What, Ling Feng is back?"
"Who is Ling Feng?"
Some had already forgotten about Ling Feng, after all, to many, Ling Feng was already considered dead.
Can dead people return; isn’t that like seeing a ghost?
"You don’t know Ling Feng, you’ve just come to Yuee Ling City your first day? That prodigious youth Ling Feng who once stirred up chaos within the Du Yue Heaven Palace, and even competed with Dongfang Chun!"
"I know this Ling Feng, but wasn’t he already dead?"
"Who said he was dead, he just went missing, only missing!"
"But missing for so long, and on the Blood-colored Ancient Road, isn’t it assumed he’s already dead?"
"Humph, even if he’s not dead, wasn’t he hit by the Soul Sealing curse? It’s said to be the most vicious curse of the Demon Clan, even if he’s back, so what?"
"..."
For a time, rumors about Ling Feng stirred up the city.
"Ling Feng has returned!"
"He has reappeared!"
"Returning at this moment..."
The Ten Strongest, those geniuses of the Du Yue Heaven Palace who had been deeply impressed by Ling Feng, were shocked.
"You really are not easy to kill!"
In the Xiao Family, Xiao Hen, upon receiving this news, showed a faint smile on his pale face.
"Ling Feng! He’s not dead yet! That’s great! Truly great!"
In the Zhuge Family, Zhuge Wan’er was surprisingly moved to tears.
Reflecting on how she hadn’t had the chance to properly thank Ling Feng.
In the Blood Road Secret Realm, if it weren’t for Ling Feng, she would have died a hundred times over!
Various forces and talents were undoubtedly deeply shocked by the news of Ling Feng’s return.
And as people were eager to find Ling Feng, to see what form the once dazzling powerhouse returned in, they found themselves empty-handed.
Because, at this moment, Ling Feng was already invited by the Palace Master of the Du Yue Heaven Palace, the Xuanyuan Sword Saint, Xuanyuan Long Teng.
...
"It’s good you’re back, it’s good you’re back!"
A glimmer of excitement shone in Xuanyuan Long Teng’s eyes, and he heavily patted Ling Feng on the shoulders with his strong hands.
From the very beginning, he placed great importance on Ling Feng, even before Ling Feng joined the Xuanyuan Family, he taught him the secret technique "Void Ten Thousand Ridges."
Rumors even spread that Ling Feng might be Xuanyuan Long Teng’s illegitimate son.
Later, when Ling Feng was struck by the Soul Sealing curse and fell into the Blood-colored Ancient Road, his fate was uncertain.
Though considering the big picture, most of the upper echelons of the Du Yue Heaven Palace opposed further searching for Ling Feng, Xuanyuan Long Teng never gave up hope.
During Ling Feng’s disappearance, he had sent the family’s elite to search in the Blood-colored Ancient Road, but unfortunately, after several months of grueling searching, they found nothing.
Ultimately, pressured by family expectations, he had to temporarily set aside the matter, while inwardly feeling regret.
Yet now, Ling Feng had returned, and it seemed he stirred quite a commotion in Yuee Ling City upon his return!
"Sorry for worrying you, elder."
Ling Feng bowed respectfully to Xuanyuan Long Teng, for he knew Xuanyuan Long Teng truly cared for him.
His expression of emotion was genuine without a hint of deceit.
"What are you apologizing for!" Xuanyuan Long Teng laughed, "You brat, you really have a strong life force, not only survived but even the Soul Sealing curse couldn’t hold you!"
Back then, Xuanyuan Long Teng consulted many people and sought methods to break the seal, but ultimately found nothing.
No one expected that Ling Feng would return, and with formidable strength.
"By the way, how did you break the seal?"
Xuanyuan Long Teng curiously looked at Ling Feng, feeling an urge to dissect him to understand how this monstrous anomaly of a kid works internally.
Seeing Xuanyuan Long Teng’s "scanning" gaze, Ling Feng felt a slight shiver, laughed awkwardly, and said, "Actually, the seal I was under wasn’t complete; there was a gap. So, I didn’t break the seal, but attempted a ’water dripping through stone’ approach to widen the gap gradually, thus recovering some abilities."
"That works too?"
Xuanyuan Long Teng, without doubting Ling Feng, laughed heartily, patting Ling Feng’s shoulder, "I admit defeat, you brat really have a strong life force! Through the ages, you might be the first to break the Demon Clan’s Soul Sealing curse."

"But it was a non-complete Soul Sealing curse; if it were complete, I’d be far more helpless."
Ling Feng laughed honestly.
If not for obtaining the Creation Power back then, preserving a thread of Divine Sense, it was precisely this thread that allowed continuous advancement.
Otherwise, I’d still be just a complete waste.
