Chapter 994: with translation of chapter title

Finally, with no other choice, Yao Chen and Qing Xianzi could only grab Han Shanshan, Xiao Yan, and the Wind Venerable, three people, and had to abandon everything else, fleeing into the Dan Realm to take refuge.

By this point, the territories of the Falling Star Pavilion and the Flower Sect had been completely taken over by the Heavenly Dark Sect.

Of course, the members of the Falling Star Pavilion abandoned by Yao Chen and the others naturally met their end without need for elaboration: they were all slaughtered by the powerful experts of the Soul Hall, who had been holding a grudge.

As for Xiao Yan and the others, they became desperate fugitives, forced to hide within the Dan Realm, gritting their teeth as they cursed the Heavenly Dark Sect's shamelessness and the Soul Hall's vileness.

As for Cao Ying and the others in the central Zhongzhou Continent, they merely watched everything with cold eyes.

Although they had also considered ambushing him on Xiao Yan's way to the Dan Tower.

But Qing Lin was currently taken away by Zhao Yuan to the Beast Realm to control half-saint-level serpentine magic beasts, while Cai Lin was in closed-door cultivation, absorbing the heavenly serpent's bone marrow and magic cores.

Even with only Dou Zun-level strength, even if they summoned their own elders, they truly could not match Yao Chen and Hua Xianzi.

Therefore, after consideration, Cao Ying and the others ultimately chose to give up.

After all, they are people of the Dan Tower; unless faced with a life-threatening crisis, they must never cooperate with the Soul Hall in any other matter.

Of course, although Cao Ying and the others did not go to ambush Xiao Yan and the others, Qing Xianzi now utterly hated Lin Feng's family, the Soul Hall, and the Heavenly Dark Sect.

For in her view, if Lin Feng had not killed so many elders of her Flower Sect back then, even if her junior sister had remained alone in the sect, when faced with the siege of the Heavenly Dark Sect and the Soul Hall...

Relying on the Flower Sect's grand protective formation, together with the cooperation of the many elders, her junior sister could hold out until she and Yao Chen arrived.

But it was precisely because Lin Feng had killed so many elders of their Flower Sect back then.

This caused their sect's Dou Zun combat strength to plummet; ultimately, the protective formation's power proved insufficient, and it was shattered by the combined forces of the Heavenly Dark Old Demon and the three Heavenly Sovereigns of the Soul Hall, resulting in the sect's destruction and the death of its members.

Moreover, if those elders of their Flower Sect were still present, the Heavenly Dark Old Demon would not dare to launch a reckless assault on their Flower Sect.

And her junior sister together with so many disciples of the sect could not possibly meet such a fate!

However, compared to the Flower Sect, the Heavenly Dark Sect at this moment was full of high spirits, its pride unmistakably evident.

After all, their sect managed, in less than a month, to destroy the Flower Sect and also subdue the Falling Star Pavilion, which was garrisoned by the half-saint-level Yao Chen.

Looking across the Zhongzhou Continent, how many forces could achieve such a degree?

Moreover, the several thousand female disciples of the Flower Sect captured, whose looks were not bad, greatly stimulated the male disciples within the sect.

Especially when the Heavenly Dark Sect's sect leader personally ordered that those captured Flower Sect disciples be distributed among the sect members.

Everyone in the Heavenly Dark Sect who received a female slave became immersed in a frenzied, celebratory mood.

Even the janitors inside the Heavenly Dark Sect, when speaking of their own identity, unconsciously puffed out their chests.

After all, after eliminating the Flower Sect and the Falling Star Pavilion, the Heavenly Dark Sect instantly became the largest power controlling the western and southern regions of Zhongzhou Continent.

Furthermore, under this oppression, the Sound Valley, one of the Three Valleys, also proactively chose to abandon most of its territory, gathering external experts to avoid direct confrontation with the Heavenly Dark Sect.

This move undoubtedly allowed the Heavenly Dark Sect's power to expand further, once again subduing the trump cards of dozens of cities.

Moreover, in such a short time, with so many good things happening, it was only natural for them to celebrate a bit.

As for the matter of their vice sect leader and several other elders being killed, everyone had long since tossed it to the back of their minds.

"What? The Flower Sect and the Falling Star Pavilion no longer exist, and Xiao Yan and his disciples were forced to flee with a few of the most important people to take refuge at the Dan Tower."

Having just returned to the garden behind the castle in Zhongzhou, Lin Feng was instantly startled upon hearing the information from Cao Ying and the other girls.

Before leaving Zhongzhou, he had seen the Heavenly Dark Sect remain inactive for a long time and thought the Heavenly Dark Old Demon had changed its nature, becoming a timid turtle.

Yet he never expected that, after only leaving for about two months, the situation in Zhongzhou would change dramatically in an instant.

The current Heavenly Dark Sect, after eliminating the Flower Sect—one of the two major sects—and the Falling Star Pavilion garrisoned by the Holy Alchemist Yao Chen, in one fell swoop became the strongest power in southwestern Zhongzhou.

As for Yao Chen and his companions, they fled in a sorry state to the Dan Tower to take refuge, daring not to confront the Soul Hall and the Heavenly Dark Sect head-on.

"Hmm, I heard that the female disciples of the Flower Sect who were captured alive, if they had any looks, were all bestowed by the Heavenly Dark Sect's sect leader upon other members; now they have basically become objects for those male disciples to vent their frustrations."

On Cao Ying's charming pretty face, a strong sense of disgust also welled up at this moment.

After all, as a woman, upon hearing the fate of those female disciples of the Flower Sect who were also women, even though she was an enemy of the Flower Sect, her heart uncontrollably gave rise to a feeling of disgust toward the Heavenly Dark Sect.

The person beside Dan Chen immediately nodded and then said: "Yes, and I also heard that the Flower Sect's sect leader Huajin was tied up in the plaza inside the gate by the Heavenly Dark Sect. It is said that whether Heavenly Dark Sect disciples or visiting guests, they can be free. In short, the gate of the Heavenly Dark Sect is now about to be trampled to pieces by the male members of all major powers."

As she spoke, Dan Chen felt disgust rise, and her pretty face involuntarily flushed slightly as she spat.

Those who pretended to visit the Heavenly Dark Sect but actually wanted to do bad things really didn't know what to say.

Thinking of this, Dan Chen couldn't help but glance at Lin Feng.

"Well, my own man is fine; he won't be tempted by such methods."

"There's nothing to be done; who made them make the wrong choice and enter the Flower Sect?"

After hearing the two girls' account, Lin Feng immediately shook his head, feeling no pity for the fate of those Flower Sect disciples.

After all, such things constantly occur everywhere on the ruthless Qi Continent.

It's just that the Flower Sect, being one of the two major sects of Zhongzhou, attracts a bit more attention.

But upon learning that Yao Chen and the others were not dead, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity; if the Soul Hall had killed Yao Chen, that would have been interesting."

"Hehe, if that were really the case, I'd estimate that Xiao Yan would go crazy."

After saying that, Cao Ying promptly placed her jade hand on her smooth chin, gently stroking it, wearing a gloating expression.

After all, that Xiao Yan had once tried to capture her to use against her husband; now seeing him suffer, she naturally felt very pleased.

"By the way, where did Xin Lan and Qing Lin go? Why aren't they here?"

Thinking of the two women, Lin Feng immediately asked.

Upon hearing that, Dan Chen immediately explained: "Senior Zhao Yuan, using the item you gave my husband, broke through to the Heavenly Realm Soul and then took Qing Lin to the Beast Realm. As for Xin Lan, she is currently in closed-door cultivation in the underground world of the Ye family, striving to break through to Dou Zun as soon as possible."

"Dou Zun?"

Hearing this, Lin Feng also slightly furrowed his brow.

Although Xin Lan had amassed a huge amount of resources from him, she is now a seven-star Dou Zong, but the distance to the Dou Zun realm remains considerable.

What makes him feel urgent is that the Bodhi Ancient Tree's emergence is now only about a year and a half away.

If, within this time, Xin Lan still cannot reach Dou Zun.

Then he would be somewhat reluctant to take Xin Lan to the place where the Bodhi Ancient Tree will emerge.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng again looked at Dan Chen and Cao Ying before him.

After some time apart, the two women's strength had already broken through three-star Dou Zun, reaching the four-star Realm.

Thus, when the Bodhi Ancient Tree later appears, they should already have the ability to take care of themselves.

After all, the two women have not only switched to cultivating the Heavenly Step Technique, but they also hold many trump cards.

Moreover, they also possess the soul power of Soul Realm Great Perfection.

Actually, there's no need for him to worry.

Moreover, Xiao Yixian is now a six-turn Dou Zun, and before he left she also left him two drops of heavenly snake's bone marrow and some blood.

That blood, although not comparable to essence blood, is enough to let Xiao Yixian increase her strength considerably.

Of course, before leaving, Lin Feng had specifically instructed that increasing strength should be moderated somewhat.

Reaching Title: Nine-turn Dou Zun is enough; absolutely do not break through to the Half Saint Realm.

Otherwise, it will become very troublesome later.

Immediately afterwards, he asked the two women: "Regarding the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan side, during the time I am not in Central Province, have they come over?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Ying first was slightly startled, then lightly patted her head with her jade hand, and then said belatedly: "I almost forgot this matter; a person called Elder Chu Li came once about a month ago, saying that earlier they were blocked by others and could not come to support you."

Furthermore, he also gave me a piece of space jade slip, saying it can be used to contact him.

While speaking, Cao Ying lightly touched her storage ring with her jade hand, took out a palm-sized green jade slip, and handed it to Lin Feng in front of him.

Okay.

Lin Feng nodded, then received the jade slip and stored it in his storage ring.

But immediately afterwards, he lightly touched his storage ring, took out four jade bottles, and then explained: "Inside are respectively two drops of ninth-rank heavenly snake's bone marrow and some blood. I originally wanted to give them to you, but since your strength was still weak before, I temporarily kept them myself."

While speaking, he flicked his finger, giving Cao Ying and Dan Chen each two jade bottles, then continued: "Although this blood is not essence blood, because it absorbed some essence blood and essence qi, it has undergone mutation and can be regarded as a weakened version of essence blood, although it cannot even reach one percent of the original essence blood."

However, because that heavenly snake's strength while alive was too great, you may now only absorb its blood, absolutely must not consume its bone marrow, understand?

Speaking thus, Lin Feng's gaze immediately shot towards the two women.

Mm-hmm.

Upon hearing his explanation, Cao Ying and the two women immediately nodded.

Then they happily took the jade bottles, and then in unison laughed and said: "Husband, you can rest assured; we know the importance, we will not misuse them."

While speaking, the two women also carefully put the jade bottle into their storage rings.
