All eyes turned towards the Hui Yue Saintess, and Ling Feng also held his breath, waiting for the Hui Yue Saintess’s answer.
The Hui Yue Saintess glanced at Ling Feng with an impassive face, not hurried nor slow, and said, "Indeed, it is true."
"Huh..."
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief; this woman wasn’t ungrateful after all!
The Hui Yue Saintess let out a cold snort in her heart, deciding to settle the debt she owed Ling Feng this ti and avoid any further delays in the future!
The elders looked at each other, none able to imagine how a dignified Hui Yue Saintess could appear in the Death Soul Demon Abyss and get involved with a re disciple.
Now thinking about it, it was likely with the Hui Yue Saintess’s help that Ling Feng managed to kill four Barbarian God Guards, which made everything reasonable.
With the Hui Yue Saintess intervening, the Barbarian God Guards were indeed nothing to worry about.
But why would the Hui Yue Saintess assist Ling Feng, helping him kill four Barbarian God Guards and accomplish such a feat? What was the relationship between these two?
Everyone looked at Ling Feng, then at the Hui Yue Saintess, recalling how Ling Feng looked excited when he first entered the hall and saw the Hui Yue Saintess; it seed all too unusual!
It carried a hint of an affair!
However, such bold speculation was kept to themselves; no one dared to say a word more, for the Hui Yue Saintess was not soone to provoke lightly.
"With the Hui Yue Palace Master’s assistance, this makes perfect sense."
Xu Taishang nodded and once again looked at Ling Feng, saying slowly, "Since the Hui Yue Palace Master backs your claim of killing four Barbarian God Guards, a substantial achievent, I will surely reward your rits appropriately."
Commander Cai furrowed his brows, but since even the Hui Yue Saintess had spoken, he had nothing more to say.
To him, Ling Feng seed to rely rely on the Hui Yue Saintess’s power to obtain the Barbarian God Guard Tokens, just soone living off a woman.
Not only him, but most of the elders present likely thought similarly. However, they did not know that it was by Ling Feng’s intervention that the Hui Yue Saintess was able to escape with her life, a shaful fact she naturally would not ntion.
"Xu Taishang, here are the final statistics from this mission. Please have a look, Taishang."
Commander Cai took a deep breath, retrieved a thin booklet, and presented it to Xu Zhengfeng.
Xu Zhengfeng reached out to receive it, opened it, and discovered that even the barbarian leader Aluyin was slain by Ling Feng, prompting him to stroke his long beard appreciatively: "Good, truly the younger generation is formidable, no wonder even the Hui Yue Palace Master holds you in such esteem. Since you have achieved the highest rit this ti, I will not break my promise."
Saying that, Xu Zhengfeng took out the Star Dragon Shield from his Space Spirit Ring, laughing: "Ling Feng, from now on, you are the master of this Star Dragon Shield."
"Thank you, Supre Elder!"
Ling Feng hurriedly bowed in salute; this shield could block attacks from Emperor level powerhouses, and in crucial monts, serve as a lifesaver—definitely a top-tier defensive Magic Treasure.
"Additionally, slaying the barbarian general earns you ten thousand Conquest Points! Also, for each Barbarian God Guard slain, ten thousand Conquest Points!"
As Xu Zhengfeng’s words fell, the hall of elders was bustling; a total of fifty thousand Conquest Points, richer than so of the elders here!
"Ling Feng, you have accumulated sufficient fifty thousand Conquest Points; I will make an exception and grant you access to the Emperor Level Conquest Treasure Vault, a privilege only for senior elders and the Heavenly Kill Ten Extres."
Xu Zhengfeng smiled faintly, his gaze glancing at the Hui Yue Saintess.
He naturally assud Ling Feng was soone favored by the Hui Yue Saintess, thus bestowing such rewards upon him.
Little did he know the Hui Yue Saintess harbored deep resentnt towards Ling Feng, but due to her status, Ling Feng gleaned many practical benefits—sothing really vexing.
And this favor would eventually be counted against her, truly frustrating to think about.
"Thank you, Supre Elder!"
Ling Feng was overjoyed; the Conquest Points were one thing, but access to the Emperor Level Treasure Vault ant he could select treasures of higher grade—this ti, he truly profited!
"Truly a hero erges from the youth!"
"Haha, seeing this young friend Ling Feng, arrogant and spirited, you know he is extraordinary!"
"..."
The other elders praised Ling Feng endlessly, although most did so on the Hui Yue Saintess’s account, insincerely, but the outward display was maintained.
Yet the more the elders praised Ling Feng, the more the Hui Yue Saintess resented him; that wretched boy had gotten a good deal!
Only the Jingfeng Hall Master Zuo Feiqing, who previously knew that at the East Spirit Immortal Pond, Ling Feng had quite a grudge against the Hui Yue Saintess, and she seed quite antagonistic towards Ling Feng, even once attempting to expel him from the East Spirit Immortal Pond.
How, in such a short ti, did she beco protective of Ling Feng?
A woman’s heart is indeed deep and unfathomable!
...
Disciples’ residence.
In a spacious cave, several disciples are gathered in the main hall, discussing sothing.
"What? They took Brother Ling away? Outrageous, truly outrageous!"
Upon hearing Ling Feng’s experience, Lin Mu imdiately flared up, jumping and exclaiming: "How could Brother Ling lie? That guy, straightforward and true, if he claims he can slay Barbarian God Guards, then it must be true!"
"Indeed, that guy is monstrous; but what exactly are the Barbarian God Guards, that the elders completely changed their attitude upon hearing about them."
Fong Ling leaned leisurely against a pillar, slightly amused at Ling Feng’s predicant.
That guy finally had his share of trouble!
"Barbarian God Guards are mysterious guardians stationed at the Barbarian God Temple, all their strength above the Fifth Realm of the Heavenly Destiny. No wonder the elders did not believe it; if it were , I would find it difficult to believe too."
Chu Tiange shook his head and sighed slightly, "And who knows how Junior Brother Ling obtained those tokens."
"It seems likely Junior Brother Ling encountered the Barbarian God Guards during his days of disappearance, hence managed to slay them," Lee Fei speculated.
"I still believe that guy wouldn’t intentionally deceive for credit; even if he were to cheat for rit Points, given his ticulous style, he wouldn’t use such conspicuous tokens to deceive."
Qing Ping Fairy furrowed her brows slightly, speaking favorably of Ling Feng for the first ti.
"Haha, Senior Sister Yu, I didn’t think you’d understand quite well!"
At this mont, there ca a familiar voice from outside the cave; everyone turned in unison to see a figure in white swaggering into the cave.
The newcor was none other than the one they were discussing, Ling Feng!
