Chapter 962

Hearing that, Zhao Yuan shook their head and said bitterly: "This matter—unless I can break through to the true Dou Sheng realm, otherwise it's difficult!"

Having said that, the former leaned on the wooden cane in hand, slowly turned their body, the wrinkles like tree-root patterns trembling slightly, and sighed: "After all, you know that guy's talent surpasses ours; when they first ventured into the Light and Shadow Space, at barely twenty years old they were already a Seventh Grade Pinnacle Alchemist, and their strength had reached nine-star Dou Zong—such talent, though not matching Lin Feng, is not much inferior to Dan Chen and Cao Ying."

"Several hundred years ago, after I successfully broke through to the Half Saint Realm and Stabilizing Realm, I went to settle scores with that bastard, but at that time he already possessed intermediate Half Saint strength. Now I think his Dou Qi level may have even stepped into that final step, fully entering the Dou Sheng realm. Therefore, even if I break through to Dou Sheng, the chance of successfully avenging myself is probably less than thirty percent."

"Damn it, if my second elder brother were still alive now, how great that would be; if we three joined forces, the Zhao family wouldn't have fallen to fourth among the Five Clans of Zhongzhou as it has now."

Upon hearing that the chance for revenge was slim, Zhao Ran could no longer hold back, fiercely slamming their fist onto the nearby wooden table.

The wooden table made from a seventh-rank tree-type magic beast, upon bearing that angry strike, instantly shattered with a 'Bang!' into fragments scattering across the sky.

Hearing that, Zhao Yuan shook their head slightly, saying nothing.

They merely waved a hand, sending forth a gentle breeze that gathered the wood chips flying throughout the room and then blew them out through the window.

As for the family's decline, he was also powerless.

After all, his lifespan has basically reached its limit; if he cannot break through to Dou Sheng, he won't last more than a few days.

Therefore, to continue guarding the Zhao family for a while, then risking his life to attempt breaking through to Dou Sheng using Lin Feng's secret method, is all he can do in the coming years.

As for his half-brother, if he had survived back then, although the Zhao family could have gained another strong fighter and alchemist, seeking revenge would have been nothing more than a daydream.

While the Zhao siblings were chatting, at the same time, in the Ye courtyard of Saint Dan City, several beautiful young women gathered on the backyard lawn, their beautiful eyes fixed on the pitch-black vortex before them.

'Hum~'

Not long after, accompanied by a spatial fluctuation, a figure shot out from it and swiftly arrived before the several women.

'My lord!'

Upon seeing the arrival, a soft call filled with longing issued from the vermilion lips of a woman in colorful robes.

Immediately after, a soft, fragrant figure darted through space and fell into the arms of the newly appeared Lin Feng.

As for the latter, after embracing the flying woman, he immediately turned his gaze to the person in his arms whose breath was extremely tranquil.

He realized that this woman was none other than his wife Feng Qinger, who had been missing for about half a year.

He then exclaimed in surprise: 'Feng Qinger, it seems you gained much from those Heavenly Phoenix Soul Marrow; your current strength appears to have surpassed Dou Zun and reached the Half Saint Realm.'

At this moment, in his perception, the owner of that soft, fragrant body in his arms—his strength was vaguely greater than that of Yao Chen or the elders of the Dan and Cao families.

'It is all thanks to your help, my lord; if you had not refined that Heavenly Phoenix skeleton and remnant soul, merging and blending them into a medicinal liquid, Feng Qinger would not have been able to advance from Dou Zun and achieve a breakthrough to the present Half Saint Realm in one fell swoop.'

In response to his surprise, Feng Qinger buried her head in his chest, lightly inhaling his scent while murmuring.

As soon as her words fell, she lifted the exquisite face that Lin Feng had not seen for a long time.

On that noble cheek, a hint of worry appeared as she asked: 'My lord, as soon as Feng Qinger left seclusion, I heard that you and the three sisters were ambushed, and I rushed over without delay—are you unharmed?'

Hearing that, Lin Feng saw that Feng Qinger was looking for him not because she herself faced an unsolvable problem, and his heart eased greatly.

While setting down the lovely person in his arms, he smiled and explained: 'What could happen to me? Moreover, during the fight, Chen Er, Xin Lan, and Ying Er were right there watching; if I had encountered any danger, they would have brought me back for treatment long ago.'

While speaking, Lin Feng's gaze also turned toward the three women standing to the side.

That expression seemed to say, 'Why don't you few tell Feng Qinger clearly that I am not in any danger right now?'

The three women behind, feeling Lin Feng's gaze, spread their hands helplessly.

They had already said earlier that their husbands were fine, but Feng Qinger, no matter what, insisted on personally confirming her husband's safety.

They couldn't stop her either!

Seeing this, Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, then looked at the several women and said: 'Earlier I told you about Cai Lin and Yun'er; they have now arrived at the Cao family—have you seen them before?'

'We have seen them, and you really do have good taste—those three are all peerless beauties; during your earlier return to the Northwest Continent, you must have been unwilling to leave Shu.'

Upon hearing the former mention Cai Lin and company, Cao Ying beside them immediately pursed their lips and said.

As for Dan Chen, they lightly tapped their little head, looking cute, and said sweetly: 'Also, we have seen Xiao Zhao Er; they are very adorable. However, for safety reasons, after discussion we decided to let Xiao Zhao Er temporarily stay with Cai Lin, Yun'er sister, and Qing Lin in Cao City, and move back once the new city construction is completed.'

'Hmph~'

Upon hearing the former mention Lin Zhao, Feng Qinger in Lin Feng's arms, as well as Cao Ying and Xin Lan beside them, the three women almost simultaneously let out a dissatisfied hum.

This gesture seemed to blame Lin Feng for only giving Cai Lin a child, not allowing them to have a little baby.

'You all!'

Seeing the expressions of the several women, Lin Feng shook his head helplessly.

Upon learning the status of his daughter and Cai Lin and company, he shifted the topic.

'Although our previous battle heavily injured Xiao Yan and company, we had promised a great deal to invite those experts; now we should still strive to produce pills to fill this gap.'

Saying this, an uncontrollable trace of helplessness welled up on Lin Feng's face.

With such a quantity of Eighth Grade Pills, even though they have several Eighth Grade Alchemists on their side, it would keep the couple and a few others busy for a while.
