"Holy crap! Is this the movent speed of soone at the Great Perfection of the Celestial Dao’s seven stars? It’s like a rocket." Chen Tianlong couldn’t help but widen his eyes, while Bing Ruxue behind him was dumbfounded.
What just happened? How could one person scare away an army of thirty thousand?
Unbeknownst to him, he was no ordinary person. Forget thirty thousand, even three hundred thousand would be useless. As long as he uses that orange Powerful Qi Shield, thousands of troops are like re decorations; killing anyone would be as easy as slicing vegetables.
"Chen, this is as far as I can help."
Wu Shengtian sighed, glanced at the sky, and was filled with boundless longing.
Years ago, the two battled against the eight major sects, severely injuring all the sect leaders, then each went separate ways. Wu Shengtian, weary of killing, hid his identity and went into business, appearing particularly indifferent to won, especially Wu ngting. But that was just a facade.
Because of Wu ngting’s unique constitution, he didn’t want anyone to know, so he pretended as if she was an adopted child not his own, while he actually missed her dearly in his heart.
As for Chen Feng, it was heard that after he returned ho, he was devastated and jumped off a cliff with his wife in his arms. However, later on, when Wu Shengtian sent people to the bottom of the valley, they found nothing, so he knew that Chen Feng wasn’t dead. As to where he went, he had no idea.
Inside the Ice Hall.
Chen Tianlong finally settled the matters, but as for the Commander’s Seal in his hand, he had no clue how to use it. The crucial thing now was to imdiately head to East City, taking Lin Wushuang to the Fire Sea Extre Land in the Fire Domain, so she’d have a chance.
After bidding farewell to Bing Ruxue with reluctance, Chen Tianlong rushed non-stop towards East City. However, when he reached the city gate, he suddenly discovered that it was tightly closed. Chen Tianlong dialed Lin Kaifeng’s number, and only then was the gate opened for him to enter.
Lin Jun and his group also found it strange. The army of North City had retreated, so his elder brother Lin Kaifeng couldn’t possibly be unaware, yet the city gate remained tightly shut.
With confusion, everyone returned to East City.
Chen Tianlong quickly returned to the Lin Family Mansion. At this ti, Lin Wushuang’s Ice City condition seed to have worsened, and with nightfall approaching, Chen Tianlong had initially planned to cross the Fire Domain today, but it was clearly not possible now.
"Chen Tianlong, are you alright?" Wu ngting, still like a little wife, was the first to express concern upon seeing Chen Tianlong return.
Chen Tianlong smiled slightly. Wu ngting’s affection was beyond reproach. He nodded and said, "I’m fine, the issues at the Ice Hall are all resolved. Next, we need to find a way to treat the young lady; otherwise, if sothing really happens, I’ll feel guilty for a lifeti."
"Yeah, yeah."
Wu ngting nodded vigorously, understanding Chen Tianlong’s intention.
Shen Yan, Liu Ting, and Ouyang ijia all breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Chen Tianlong safe and sound. Previously, the reconnaissance soldiers from East City continuously returned with reports on military situations, making their hearts hang in suspense.
Looking at the young lady, who was barely clinging to life on the bed, Chen Tianlong felt an inexplicably heavy heart.
He held her pulse gate, feeling her weak breath, and began to channel Qi into her again.
"Chen Tianlong, won’t you be exhausted doing this?" Wu ngting had already noticed that Chen Tianlong was using his strength to help Lin Wushuang maintain her life. She wasn’t a fool; she’d sowhat heard that it was dangerous for cultivators to deplete their Qi.
So take a long ti to recover after depletion, and during this period, there are so many enemies; who knows, Chen Tianlong might have to take Lin Wushuang past the Fire Domain together tomorrow.
After staying for a while, suddenly the door was pushed open, and it was Lin Kaifeng who walked in.
Lin Kaifeng was still respectful when he saw Chen Tianlong. After so pleasantries, he got to the point: "I heard that the army of North City was beaten back by Brother Nie, congratulations."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong frowned slightly. He felt there was sothing odd about Lin Kaifeng’s words. What was there to congratulate about beating back the North City army? It should be Ice Hall that should be celebrated for being saved. He was just there to support, without any real benefit.
"Haha, one should say it’s Ice Hall’s good fortune. As for the complexities, I’ll chat with Brother Lin about it another day." Chen Tianlong didn’t want to bring up Fang Yan and the Ghost-faced Man’s matters. After all, one was his master, and the other saved him.
From a certain perspective, they were on his side, regardless of good or evil.
"Alright, no rush." Lin Kaifeng was candid about it.
Chen Tianlong grinned, then suddenly thought of a question and said, "By the way, why was the city gate closed tight today? Didn’t the Ice Hall send for reinforcents? Why was there not a single soldier on the way?"
"Haha, it’s like this, we were going to send thirty thousand troops for support, but later heard that you had experts helping, so we canceled." Lin Kaifeng chuckled as he explained.
"Canceled? When that expert appeared, it seed you were about to fight, yet you hadn’t started deploying troops?" Chen Tianlong said, suddenly realizing that they simply didn’t want to send troops.
"Haha, well...we were gearing up to go, but then sothing happened at the border, so...."
Seeing Lin Kaifeng’s hesitant reply, Chen Tianlong understood several points. But since they were friends, there was no need to point it out, so he forced a smile and said, "Just joking. Anyway, Ice Hall is fine now, let’s not dwell on it."
"By the way, I’m planning to take Wushuang to the Fire Domain tomorrow. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of my friends here," Chen Tianlong suddenly said.
"Chen Tianlong...I want to go with you!" Wu ngting said with so dissatisfaction at the thought of Chen Tianlong and Lin Wushuang being alone together. Though she knew she would just be a burden, her thoughts were complicated.
"Haha, it seems your ngting still can’t bear to be away from you." Lin Kaifeng laughed, but then his expression darkened a bit: "Brother Nie, to be honest, no matter what’s going on, it’s best not to go out; recently, there’s a lot of hostility with the Fire Domain, I fear...."
"Brother Lin, you needn’t say more—no matter how perilous it is, I must go. Wushuang doesn’t have much ti left. If not treated promptly, not even immortals could save her." Chen Tianlong, being a doctor, knew the extent of Lin Wushuang’s peril.
"Well...."
Lin Kaifeng seed to have more to say but couldn’t bring himself to speak.
After leaving the room, Lin Kaifeng returned to his own, and before long, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Lin Kaifeng asked calmly.
"Hao Shuai!" The speaker was actually Chen Tianlong’s sworn enemy, Hao Shuai.
After the army of North City retreated today, he felt very unwilling, so with a bit of thought, he hastened to East City, bringing a thousand elite soldiers to join, which earned Lin Kaifeng’s trust.
He had been sowhat wary of Chen Tianlong just now and mostly because of Hao Shuai’s words.
"Co in!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Kaifeng let him in, and before long, they were seated on the sofa. Lin Kaifeng spoke first: "Young Master Xu, Chen Tianlong has returned, but he says he wants to go to the Fire Domain; I have no ans to stop him."
