"Who is it?"
"How audacious, coming to cause trouble at the Heavenly chanism Martial Alliance!"
"And you dare to humiliate Heavenly King Long's wife?!"
"This…"
The mbers of the Heavenly chanism Martial Alliance were stunned, then filled with rage. The agents from other factions lurking nearby were also shocked. They had been staking out the area for several reasons. So wanted to learn more about Long Tianji. Others hoped to et the man in person to curry favor with him. A final group intended to target him but had failed to find him anywhere in the world, so they could only try their luck here.
Among them were several students from the Heavenly Person Academy. The Academy had considered taking control of the Heavenly chanism Martial Alliance or even capturing Long Tianji's so-called wife to force him to show himself. But as scholars, they had principles and valued their reputation. Besides, they knew the Alliance was just a faction that had spontaneously ford by riding on the coattails of Long Tianji's fa. In his eyes, they were no different from strangers on the street. He wouldn't care in the slightest if the Heavenly chanism Martial Alliance was destroyed.
As for his "wife," she was rely the winner of a ridiculous matchmaking contest that Xiao Xuanye and the others had fumbled through to curry favor with Long Tianji. She had no emotional connection to him whatsoever. Using her as a threat was completely useless.
"It's only that young woman, Wei Zichu, who seems to have so real intimacy with Long Tianji."
"Didn't she go out early this morning? She's not even here, right?"
"Quick, look! A fight's breaking out inside… huh? It's already over?"
The spies had just raised their binoculars for a clearer view when they were dumbfounded. Zhao Xinghe and his n hadn't been able to withstand a single exchange. They were all sent flying backward, spitting blood.
"Heavens, that aura… it's a Grandmaster!"
"Who in the world are you people?!"
"The Langhuan Holy Land? I've never heard of it…"
Most of the onlookers were both horrified and bewildered.
"Hiss—"
The students from the Heavenly Person Academy gasped in unison.
"It's them! Long Tianji is finished now!"
"Even as a Heavenly King, he can't possibly survive offending the Langhuan Holy Land!"
"This is wonderful…"
While others were ignorant, the students knew the truth. In terms of sheer martial power, there was no comparison between the Heavenly Person Academy and the Langhuan Holy Land. The strongest figure in the Academy's history had been a War God. The Holy Land, on the other hand… had once produced a celestial sage.
"This is Long Tianji's wife?"
"Why is she a foreign barbarian?"
Shatana was forcibly dragged out, trembling and completely helpless.
Oh my God, why am I so unlucky! I threw myself at Long Tianji, hoping only to marry him. What was so wrong with that? Ever since I arrived in the Central Earth, I seem to stumble from one disaster to the next.
"You can't do this to ! I am a princess of the Sunset Country! You should show so gentlemanly respect!" she protested with tears in her eyes, her face pale with fright as she saw they were about to tear off her dress.
"Oh, so she's a princess, is she?"
"Hmph! Who cares if you're so damn princess? Since you married Long Tianji, you deserve to die in humiliation!" the Vice Hall Master snarled. Having lost his own daughter, he was particularly sadistic and couldn't care less about her status.
"NO!" Shatana shrieked, covering her head. In her extre terror, several blurry silver threads faintly appeared on the back of her hand, weaving together into a pattern that resembled a simple drawing of an eye.
The others didn't notice, but the sharp-eyed Xiao Qingcang did. At the sa ti, his nose twitched as he detected a change in Shatana's scent.
"Wait!" he commanded, imdiately stopping his n from touching her.
"Xiao Qingcang, how dare you!" the Vice Hall Master roared.
His sycophant chid in with a sneer, "What's this, Clan Chief Xiao? Has the old tree finally blossod? Decided to take pity on a fair lady?"
"Xiao Qingcang, you dare to defy our Vice Hall Master for a woman? I think you have a death wish!"
With a grave expression, Xiao Qingcang cupped his fist and said, "Reporting to the Vice Hall Master, if I am not mistaken, this woman possesses the legendary Faith Body from western tales. The Sunset Country's move to send her to Long Tianji was made with ill intentions."
"Is it truly that wicked thing known as the Faith Body?" The Vice Hall Master was greatly startled. He took another long, hard look at Shatana, his eyes now filled with apprehension, and he no longer allowed his n to harm her.
When they learned that two others, Ning Yuexi and Wei Zichu, were also considered Long Tianji's wives, the order was given.
"Go! Find them and bring them back!"
"Yes, sir!"
「...」
Shen Youling had tried calling Lin Tang countless tis, but she could never get through. She had heard that the protesters had tied up her parents and sister, leaving them suspended by ropes without a drop of water. If starvation didn't kill them, thirst would. Anxious, she had no choice but to ask Wei Zichu for help.
"Do you have any way to contact Lin Tang? Or track his phone's location? I desperately need to know where he is!"
So, Wei Zichu went to help. She couldn't get through to Lin Tang's phone either, but she had subordinates with the right technical skills. After a clatter of keys, one of her subordinates pointed to a red dot on a map on the screen, her voice filled with surprise. "According to the satellite positioning, Master Lin's phone is moving at high speed… Huh? This route isn't a highway or a railway. How is he moving so fast? Could he be in a helicopter?"
Although Shen Youling didn't know that Lin Tang was Long Tianji, she knew his martial arts were still intact and he could run that fast on his own two feet, so she wasn't surprised.
Wei Zichu stroked her chin thoughtfully. "Miss Shen, I think Lin Tang must be handling sothing important. He's not avoiding you on purpose."
Shen Youling was exasperated. "My family's lives are hanging by a thread! I really don't understand what he could possibly be so busy with all day!"
"Heh…" Wei Zichu was about to sarcastically point out that her family had nothing to do with Lin Tang, but her subordinate suddenly cried out, "Not good! There's trouble at headquarters!"
The subordinate typed furiously again, pulling up the live surveillance feed from the Heavenly chanism Martial Alliance.
"Holy crap!" Wei Zichu blanched at the sight. What the hell is this Langhuan Holy Land? They aren't even afraid of a Heavenly King… No, I have to get out of here now!
As she ran for the door, she loyally made a call to Ning Yuexi.
"That's really happening?!" When Ning Yuexi found out, she was both thrilled and worried. She was thrilled because by provoking the Langhuan Holy Land, Long Tianji was undoubtedly courting his own death. She was worried because the Holy Land might lump her in with his group. She wasn't naive enough to think they would spare her just because she offered an explanation.
Thus, she also fled imdiately. The group from Langhuan Holy Land included Grandmasters, possessing incredible martial strength and speed. Trying to escape by car had a low chance of success. A high-speed train or an airplane was a much better bet.
With that in mind, the two t at the airport and quickly booked tickets for the earliest flight. But just as they were about to head to the boarding gate, a group of people stord in, forcibly grounding all flights and searching the entire terminal for them.
"Damn it, this must be an order from Xiao Xuanye or Guo Jufeng!"
"Those two bastards are actually helping the enemy! Aren't they afraid Uncle Long will settle the score with them when he gets back?"
"Long Tianji stands no chance against the Langhuan Holy Land. It's only natural they'd try to curry favor… Quick, keep your head down! This way!"
Hunching over, the two of them slipped out of the airport. With the airport locked down, they couldn't count on the high-speed rail either. Their only option was to drive and figure out a plan on the run. They avoided the highway, instead taking remote back roads to put distance between themselves and Jiangbei.
It seed like they were about to get away. However, Xiao Qingcang had already taken action himself. He held an article of Wei Zichu's clothing. Even though it had been washed, his incredibly sharp sense of sll allowed him to discern her scent and successfully lock onto their escape route.
"Hehe, let's see where you can run," he chuckled.
WHOOSH!
He broke into a full sprint, his speed easily surpassing that of their car. Inch by inch, the distance between them closed. Finally, Xiao Qingcang's figure appeared in the car's rearview mirror.
"Crap, that Grandmaster caught up to us!"
"What do we do? What do we do?"
"Damn it! You still can't get in touch with Long Tianji?"
"I-I-I'll try one more ti!" Wei Zichu stamred, her hands trembling as she pulled out her phone and hastily dialed.
Just as Xiao Qingcang's hand touched the rear bumper of the car, the call connected.
"AHHH, UNCLE LONG, HELP US!"
「...」
In the sinister land, Lin Tang had ticulously laid out a Feng Shui array, gathering the chaotic and disordered malignant energy, organizing and condensing it. Then, a miracle occurred. Faint green flas began to materialize in the cold, damp air, yet the temperature paradoxically dropped even lower.
"Wow, is this the legendary ghost fire?" Lee Encai gasped in amazent. If Lin Tang hadn't given her protective dicine beforehand, the malignant energy would have already caused her to faint. The place was incredibly dangerous for ordinary people.
Lin Tang ignored her, his focus absolute. He used the green fire as his source, the Feng Shui array as his furnace, and the malignant energy as a harmonizing agent to refine the poisonous herbs. Gradually, the various toxic plants rged, forming a round, pill-like shape. In the final step, extre yin transford into yang, and the highly toxic concoction was forcibly converted into a Great Replenishing Elixir.
The Seven Emotions Pill is complete!
After carefully storing the pill, Lin Tang smiled, itching to go into seclusion and attempt his breakthrough imdiately. But he knew that would most likely end in failure.
To ensure a one-hundred-percent success rate, I have to get back to Shen Youling first!
He swept Lee Encai into his arms and sped back toward Jiangbei like a bolt of lightning. Once he erged from the wilderness and re-entered a bustling city with a phone signal, he casually switched on his phone. It imdiately began beeping incessantly. He saw that Shen Youling had sent him nurous text ssages, asking to see him.
Yo, does she miss ? We really are a couple, telepathic indeed! Lin Tang laughed.
Although Shen Youling usually didn't let him touch her, he knew she would agree to Dual Cultivation when it was ti for a breakthrough.
I'm so much stronger now. I shouldn't be so drowsy during Dual Cultivation anymore, right? If I'm fully conscious this ti… Hehehe!
A thrill shot through Lin Tang's heart. He had originally planned to find a place to eat first, but now, brimming with excitent, he had other ideas. To hell with eating! I have to go find my wife for so intimacy, right now!
When he suddenly appeared before Shen Youling, she was overjoyed and rushed to greet him.
They both spoke at the exact sa ti.
"Lin Tang, I need your help!"
"Shen Youling, I need your help!"
