Chapter 1750: Chapter 1751: Great Wilderness Ruins! (3rd Update)

"Hahaha, what great news!"

Xiao Juanyun strode over to Ling Feng in two steps that covered three, his big hand patting Ling Feng’s shoulder a few times in Xing Fen excitement.

The Martial Artists of the Eastern Spirit Domain all wore stunned expressions. In their eyes, a lofty powerhouse like Xiao Juanyun was actually this close and familiar with Ling Feng?

"What good news?"

Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, "The Great Wilderness Ruins, are they about to open?"

"Mm, the Great Wilderness Ruins are finally about to open!"

Xiao Juanyun nodded heavily. "Fortunately, Sunset Ancient City will only stay open for about ten more days. I was worried the Great Wilderness Ruins wouldn’t open smoothly, but it looks like these few days weren’t for nothing after all!"

Ling Feng raised his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose. So many genius powerhouses from each Great Domain had gathered here, wasn’t it precisely for the sake of the Great Wilderness Ruins?

Now that the Great Wilderness Ruins were finally about to open, it was no wonder Xiao Juanyun was this Xing Fen.

However, Xiao Juanyun’s real goal was probably still to take back that sword that belonged to the Xiao Family.

"Brother Ling, Brother Loe, this is a portrait of the sword artifact lost by my Xiao Family’s ancestor." Xiao Juanyun took out a scroll and said with a smile, "On the Sword Blade of this sword, there are also two small golden characters carved: Spirit Xiao. It is a Treasure passed down through the Family Head’s direct line and is extremely important to my Xiao Family."

"I will keep an eye out." Luo Hanzhou was still as sparing with his words as ever.

Ling Feng also nodded and said, "If I come across this sword, I will definitely return it intact."

"Then I’ll thank the two of you in advance." Xiao Juanyun cupped his fists toward Ling Feng and Luo Hanzhou, then continued, "It should open around Noon. At that time, let’s gather beneath a hill to the north of the city. With me stepping forward as guarantor, the other forces of the West Sword Domain will have to give me some face. They shouldn’t dare make things too difficult for the Martial Artists of the Eastern Spirit Domain."

"In that case, on behalf of my fellow senior and junior brothers, I thank Brother Xiao."

Ling Feng cupped his fists to Xiao Juanyun. Overall, the strength of the Eastern Spirit Domain Martial Artists was indeed far too weak compared to the West Sword Domain and Beihai Domain. Once they entered the ruins, they would likely become targets to be suppressed.

However, with the Disciples of Du Yue Heaven Palace looking after them, even if they couldn’t obtain any great opportunities, their lives would at least have a bit more security.

...

"The Great Wilderness Ruins, huh..."

Within the garrison of the Dragon Sword Mansion Disciples, another powerhouse had just returned from the twelfth-layer region of Sunset Ancient City.

With Long Aotian fallen, the Disciples of Dragon Sword Mansion were like a host of dragons without a head.

Originally, the Disciples of Dragon Sword Mansion were worried about Ling Feng’s retaliation, and had even considered abandoning this expedition into the Great Wilderness Ruins. After all, the Long brothers had offended Ling Feng too deeply. If they ran into Ling Feng inside the ruins, they would very likely invite his revenge.

Who would have thought that at this time, another Senior Brother would return from the twelfth layer, like timely rain.

"Yes, Senior Brother Han, the Great Wilderness Ruins are about to open. This ruin is in no way inferior to those few Secret Realms on the twelfth layer!"

One Dragon Sword Mansion Disciple said with a fawning smile all over his face.

"Heh heh, no wonder that bastard Long Aotian didn’t go to the eleventh layer and instead stayed on the tenth. So he had his eyes on the Great Wilderness Ruins."

Han Su let out a cold laugh. In truth, he’d been beaten scared by a powerhouse from the Central Origin Domain and had had no choice but to come down to the tenth-layer region. Unexpectedly, he’d stumbled into a stroke of Creation.

To be able to enter the twelfth-layer region, Han Su’s strength was naturally far from weak, far above Long Aotian’s.

Very quickly, those Dragon Sword Mansion Disciples gave Han Su a rough account of what had happened before.

Han Su’s face was wreathed in a gloomy, sinister smile. "Long Aotian actually died at Long Xingye’s hands. Hahaha, that is quite amusing."

"This..."

That Dragon Sword Mansion Disciple looked troubled. He was himself a Disciple of the Long Family line, so naturally he didn’t dare go along with mocking Long Aotian.

"However, that brat from the Eastern Spirit Domain named Ling Feng—he does interest me quite a bit!"

Han Su narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Although I’ve always looked down on Long Aotian, he still represented the face of my Dragon Sword Mansion. That man has repeatedly trampled on the prestige of my Dragon Sword Mansion. If we let him keep jumping around, others might really think my Dragon Sword Mansion is easy to push around! When that happens, never mind Du Yue Heaven Palace—even Tianchuan Sword Mansion and those other Sword Mansions will probably look down on us."

"Yes, yes, yes, Senior Brother is absolutely right."

"Good. In that case, that brat named Ling Feng doesn’t need to keep on living. Hmph, he still wants to enter the Great Wilderness Ruins and seize opportunities?"

A cold light flashed in Han Su’s eyes; a wisp of Killing Intent flashed by in an instant. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Since you insist on going in, then the Great Wilderness Ruins will be your burial ground!"

...

At this moment, Ling Feng still had no idea that he’d already been targeted by a powerhouse from Dragon Sword Mansion.

Right now, however, he was facing a choice.

Standing before Ling Feng was a beauty so stunning as to topple kingdoms, biting her crimson lips, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ling Feng. Her autumn-water gaze flowed like mist over distant mountains, hazy as water, filled with tender affection.

"Uh..."

Being stared at by the woman before him made Ling Feng’s scalp prickle. Half an hour ago, this woman named Mwu Fenghua had sought him out, introduced herself as being from Feather Sword Sect, then said that most of the Disciples in the sect were women—and then had just stared at him without blinking.

She’d stared for a full half an hour.

"Well? Young Master Ling, how’s your consideration going?"

Mwu Fenghua’s crimson lips parted slightly as she spoke in a gentle, Rourou voice.

"Consider what?"

Ling Feng looked completely dumbfounded. "If there’s nothing else, girl, you’d better not waste my time."

Mwu Fenghua’s lips twitched slightly. Was this guy made of Wood?

She’d already hinted—no, practically spelled it out for him!

Biting her red lips, Mwu Fenghua continued, "What I mean is, Young Master Ling, with your peerless swordsmanship, why stoop to remaining in the Eastern Spirit Domain? If you’re willing, you can join my Feather Sword Sect. I can guarantee that for you, this would absolutely be a chance to soar to the heavens in a single bound!"

"Soar to the heavens in a single bound?"

Ling Feng chuckled, a trace of amusement flashing in his eyes.

This woman was truly interesting. Even Xiao Juanyun, though he’d also tried to win him over, hadn’t been this straightforward.

"That’s right!"

Mwu Fenghua thrust out her proud chest and said through gritted teeth, "You probably don’t know this, but I’m the granddaughter of the Sect Master of Feather Sword Sect. If you’re willing to join Feather Sword Sect, I can marry you! Just think about it—once you become my husband, you’ll receive the tilt of an entire sect’s resources. For you, wouldn’t that be a chance to soar to the heavens in a single bound?"

"Pfft..."

Ling Feng almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. In this woman’s eyes, was even he just some kind of price tag?

Still, how she thought was her freedom and had nothing to do with him.

"Sorry, but I, Ling Feng, don’t have the habit of living off a woman. Besides, you’re not my type."

Ling Feng shook his head. He felt absolutely no favor toward this kind of woman.

"You..." Mwu Fenghua bit her silver teeth, casting Ling Feng a glare of feigned anger, then flung her sleeve with a swish and turned to leave.

"Ling Feng, let me tell you this: another powerhouse has arrived at Dragon Sword Mansion, and he’s absolutely not someone you can handle! If I step in, I can still keep you alive. There are still a few Hours before the Great Wilderness Ruins open. If you change your mind during that time, you can come find me!"

Mwu Fenghua glared at Ling Feng one more time, but didn’t press him further and swept away without looking back.

"Heh heh, still going to come?"

Ling Feng shrugged, his expression as calm as still water. "Then let them come."
