"So, it seems I have no other choice?"
Ling Feng looked up at the Empress Dowager. This once first beauty of the Empire, in his eyes, appeared like a hideous Devil.
The so-called serpent beauty couldn’t be more apt, using Yan Cangtian’s feelings for her to sche against him in such a manner.
"You certainly do have a choice." The Empress Dowager squinted, smiled slightly, and picked up a cup of fragrant tea beside her, gently stirring the tea leaves at the edge, and said with a half-smile, "The ’Supre Mysterious Acupuncture Scripture,’ I have already given to you according to plan. If you wish to leave now, I will definitely not stop you. However, your teacher will likely need to stay and accompany for a few more days."
"Oh, is that so?"
Ling Feng shrugged, took a deep breath, looked at Yan Cangtian, and said solemnly, "Then, Empress Dowager, I bid you farewell!"
"What, you!" The Empress Dowager had just raised her cup to drink tea and almost spat it out, imdiately slamming the teacup onto the table, "Ling Feng, are you serious about what you just said?"
The rapid change in Ling Feng’s attitude almost made her unable to think straight!
A mont ago, he was the righteous good disciple, and the next second, he abandons his teacher?
"Of course." Ling Feng snorted, "Since you are an old friend of my teacher, why should I disturb you and my teacher’s reminiscing? I think my teacher should be quite happy, right? With you, Empress Dowager, by his side, my teacher hardly needs as a student!"
Ling Feng raised his brows with a smile and said, "Then if that is the case, I won’t disturb you anymore. I wish you and my teacher a pleasant ti!"
After saying this, Ling Feng actually turned around and left.
"Stop!"
The Empress Dowager’s heart surged with fury; she had never been played like this.
"What’s the matter? Are the words of the Empress Dowager as inconsequential as empty air?" Ling Feng looked back at the Empress Dowager, with a face full of mockery.
"It seems you must see the coffin to cry. Do you really think I dare not harm your teacher?"
She directly grabbed a dagger from the table, quickly walked to Yan Cangtian, a flash of cold light glead, aiming directly at Yan Cangtian’s chest.
However, the next mont, a powerful hand clenched her wrist tightly; there was a "clang," and the dagger fell to the ground. The Empress Dowager looked at Yan Cangtian before her with disbelief and exclaid, "You...you..."
"Let go of the Empress Dowager quickly!"
The maid in the hall suddenly scread, and those hidden experts from the shadows also drew their weapons, surrounding Yan Cangtian tightly.
"What’s the panic!"
The Empress Dowager’s face remained unchanged, took a deep breath, glanced at Yan Cangtian, and finally fixed her gaze on Ling Feng, laughed coldly, "I never imagined, in terms of cunning, I would lose to a snot-nosed kid!"
"I always thought that, regardless of how you change, you would at least rember past feelings, you made so disappointed! No, it’s I! I was too foolish!"
Yan Cangtian gripped the Empress Dowager’s wrist tightly, his heart filled with pain, this woman had indeed turned into a Devil.
The Empress Dowager gritted her Silver teeth, allowing her wrist to be twisted and deford by Yan Cangtian, but she didn’t make a sound, only said softly, "Brother Yan, no matter what you think, I did not intend to kill you."
"Hmph, at this mont, you’re still acting?" Yan Cangtian gritted his teeth, "Save your feigned affections!"
"Teacher, now you should understand, what kind of woman the Empress Dowager really is?"
Ling Feng shook his head, turned out that everything just now was an act by Ling Feng, even Yan Cangtian’s poisoning was just a well-planned show by Ling Feng and Yan Cangtian, the purpose was to see through the true face of the Empress Dowager.
Since the end of the Royal Sword Team challenge finals, Ling Feng had found Yan Cangtian overnight.
He knew the Empress Dowager would never easily hand over the ’Supre Mysterious Acupuncture Scripture,’ and so tricks would certainly be played.
And Yan Cangtian was undoubtedly a very good target!
So, Ling Feng had already handed the Vermilion Ice Worm to Yan Cangtian, the purpose was to guard against the Empress Dowager’s poisoning. After all, given Yan Cangtian’s strength, it is not easy to capture him head-on, and poisoning is undoubtedly a common trick used by such serpent venom won.
With the Vermilion Ice Worm for protection, Yan Cangtian was never poisoned but pretended to be poisoned.
And just now, when the Empress Dowager stabbed him with the dagger, the image of Yaan Ning in his heart was completely shattered!
From now on, he has nothing to do with this woman.
"It’s really a cruel reality."
Yan Cangtian smiled self-deprecatingly, casually pushed the Empress Dowager away, "Yaan Ning, starting today, we sever all ties and cut off all connections."
After saying this, Yan Cangtian flicked his sleeve, walked toward Ling Feng in large strides, and shouted, "Disciple, let’s go!"
"Hmph, how dare you think you can co and go as you please!"
Yaan Shuying bit her Silver teeth, commanded the maids and guards to surround the pair, snorted coldly, "Why are you still standing there? Capture them!"
"Bang!"
Yan Cangtian slamd a guard blocking him into a bloody pulp, glared at the Empress Dowager, and said coldly, "Today I shall take my disciple away, let’s see who dares to stop !"
His aura surged, a Vigorous Wind flowed, exposing the might of the Human Emperor. He let out a low shout, "Those who block shall die!"
The Empress Dowager’s delicate body trembled, she took a deep breath, and lightly raised her hand, "Everyone, step back."
"Empress Dowager, you..." Yaan Shuying bit her lip, she wanted to say more, but the Empress Dowager’s angry voice rang out, "I said step back!"
"Yes!" Yaan Shuying jumped in fright, quickly retreated to the side, and the Hidden Guards throughout the hall scattered away and vanished instantly.
"Hmph!"
Yan Cangtian glanced at the Empress Dowager, his gaze no longer held any longing, leaving with Ling Feng, they exited Cining Palace, and soon, the master and disciple had exited the Imperial Palace.
After seeing Yan Cangtian and Ling Feng leave, the Empress Dowager finally collapsed on the nearby soft couch, Yaan Shuying hurried forward, gritting her teeth, "Grand Empress Dowager, why..."
"Give orders that no word of this incident is leaked!"
The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, as if she had aged ten years, this was undoubtedly the greatest failure in her life.
"Yes..."
Yaan Shuying dared not say much more, quickly instructed the palace attendants, and stayed by the Empress Dowager’s side alone.
"You can leave too, I want to be alone."
"Oh." Yaan Shuying could only exit the hall, closing the doors, leaving only the faint sighs of the Empress Dowager inside.
"Nothing’s left... nothing at all... hahaha..."
...
After leaving the Imperial Palace, Ling Feng grasped the ’Supre Mysterious Acupuncture Scripture’ in his hand, feeling a wave of delight, the old woman of the Empress Dowager had indeed let her cleverness be her downfall.
In fact, if Yan Cangtian was truly captured by the Empress Dowager, even if he transcribed the contents of the ’Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique’ and sent it to the Empress Dowager, it wouldn’t matter much.
After all, the ’Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique’ can only be cultivated by those with the Blood of the Emperor, it would be nothing more than a Phantom to her.
However, she was too greedy, in the end, gaining nothing.
anwhile, Yan Cangtian’s mood was obviously not good, and he didn’t return to the Heavenly Position Academy, but led Ling Feng to a high mountain outside the Western Suburbs of the Imperial City, lanting against the wind.
After the incident with the Empress Dowager, Yan Cangtian’s hair seed to have turned all white.
Ling Feng, recalling his own initial experiences, felt a sympathy with Yan Cangtian.
Speaking no further, he simply accompanied Yan Cangtian, standing proudly on the cliffs and precipices, facing the roaring winds.
