Chapter 151: The Incident of Ling Zhaixing

"Um…."

A wave of intense headache struck, and Dantai Li slowly opened her eyes, her vision gradually clearing from blur to clarity.

Jiang Feng was standing in front of her, his gaze calmly fixed on her.

At the thought of the previous heart‑rending agony, Dantai Li's body couldn't help but shiver, and her eyes instantly filled with shock.

She struggled to sit up, staring intently at Jiang Feng, and roared hoarsely.

"Jiang Feng! What on earth did you do to me? What kind of damn thing was that?!"

She has lived all these years, and as a Core Disciple of the Cold Hall, what kind of torture or bizarre technique hasn't she seen?

But the pain that just now tore her Divine Soul apart was something she had never heard of nor seen before.

That bone‑deep fear has been firmly etched into her heart, causing an unprecedented dread toward Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng looked at her panicked state, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Nothing special. Don't you like placing talismans on people? It just so happens I also enjoy placing talismans on people."

"You…"

Dantai Li's pupils suddenly contracted, the anger on her face instantly froze, replaced by an incredulous shock.

"You demon!"

Dantai Li gritted her teeth and said, her eyes full of venomous resentment.

She now understood that Jiang Feng intended to use this method to prevent her from daring any ulterior thoughts toward Su Xueyan and Su Xiaonuan.

Jiang Feng shrugged indifferently, his eyes still calm.

"As long as you truly have no improper thoughts toward Xue Yan and Xiaonuan, this talisman will be as if it never existed for you."

He paused, smiling brightly.

"But if you dare harbor any malicious intent again, even just a little… that pain you just felt will be experienced even more intensely. Moreover, each activation will double the suffering until your Divine Soul is completely annihilated."

Dantai Li's body suddenly stiffened, the color draining from her face in an instant.

She fell silent, head lowered, unsure what she was thinking.

After a long while, Dantai Li finally lifted her head slowly.

She knew that this time she was truly trapped, trapped in Jiang Feng's hands.

Jiang Feng's strength far exceeded her imagination, and his methods were even more bizarre and ruthless.

Coupled with this terrifying talisman, she had no room for resistance at all.

"I understand."

Dantai Li's voice was low and hoarse.

"From now on, I, Dantai Li, will never entertain any thoughts toward Su Xueyan and Su Xiaonuan, nor will I allow the Cold Hall's people to trouble you. Should I break this, let my Divine Soul be annihilated and meet a miserable death."

This time, her tone held no hint of perfunctory words.

She was truly frightened—afraid of Jiang Feng's talisman and also of his strength.

She knew that with Jiang Feng's methods, if she dared break the promise, the fate awaiting her would be worse than death.

Jiang Feng looked at the seriousness in her eyes and nodded.

"I believe you won't gamble with your own life."

Having finished, he stepped forward, bent down, and removed the remaining few silver needles from Dantai Li's body.

The moment the silver needles left her body, Dantai Li felt the previously blocked Meridians finally flow freely.

Though still a bit weak, she could now move freely.

She slowly stood, tidied her disheveled black cloak, gave Jiang Feng a deep, profoundly complex look.

She had to admit that Jiang Feng was the most terrifying opponent she had ever encountered.

"Jiang Feng, I remember you; we shall meet again someday."

Dantai Li left that sentence, did not linger, and turned to walk toward the outside of the Secret Room.

Seeing her silhouette gradually fade at the Secret Room doorway, Su Xiaonuan let out a sigh of relief.

"Finally got her out of here."

Su Xueyan also nodded, a great weight in her heart finally settled.

With Jiang Feng's talisman binding her, Dantai Li should no longer cause trouble.

At that moment, Su Xiaonuan seemed to recall something and hurried to the corner of the Secret Room.

She began rummaging through a pile of broken ice shards and debris.

A moment later, she pulled out a delicate brocade box, hurried to Su Xueyan, and handed the box over.

"Sister Xue Yan, this is yours now."

Su Xiaonuan's tone carried a hint of guilt.

Su Xueyan opened the brocade box with puzzlement, only to see the Mysterious Warm Jade Marrow lying quietly inside!

"This is what Dantai Li asked me to keep; I've always hidden it in this corner."

Su Xiaonuan scratched her head shyly.

"I betrayed you before, stealing the Mysterious Warm Jade Marrow; I'm truly sorry. Now, at last, it can return to its rightful owner."

"Alright, we shouldn't linger here; let's leave quickly."

"Feilong Villa could collapse completely at any moment; staying any longer would be dangerous."

"Mm!"

Su Xueyan and Su Xiaonuan nodded simultaneously, following Jiang Feng toward the outside of the Secret Room.

After about half an hour, the three finally emerged from Feilong Villa and arrived outside the villa's main gate.

At that moment, the open space outside the villa's gate held a dozen police cars and several black sedans.

And Officer Shen was Standing at the front of the Crowd, and when she saw Jiang Feng and the other two emerge, she Immediately quickened her steps to greet them.

"Jiang Feng, are you all okay?"

Officer Shen's Tone carried a hint of concern.

Jiang Feng shook his head.

"We are fine."

His gaze swept quickly over the Crowd, yet he did not see Ling Zhaixing's figure, and his brows involuntarily furrowed slightly.

Ling Zhaixing had previously, according to his instructions, remained Outside the Mountain villa to liaise with the outside.

Logically, she should have rendezvoused with Officer Shen, so why is she not there?

He vaguely sensed something amiss, and Immediately asked Officer Shen.

"Officer Shen, was there just now a girl Here?"

Officer Shen was startled for a moment, then quickly recovered.

"Mr. Jiang, are you referring to a Miss Xiao Ling?"

Jiang Feng nodded.

"That's right, her. She had previously stayed Outside the Mountain villa; didn't she rendezvous with you?"

"Rendezvoused!"

Officer Shen hurriedly said.

"It was Miss Xiao Ling's liaison that allowed us to arrive here so quickly, but she just now suddenly disappeared…"

Jiang Feng's brows furrowed even tighter.

Ling Zhaixing is currently still wanted, and although she and Jiang Feng have only known each other briefly, Jiang Feng knows clearly that Ling Zhaixing is not the type to disappear casually.

Unless some people forced her to leave.

A bad premonition surged in his mind, and Jiang Feng's gaze instantly grew solemn.

He keenly perceived that Ling Zhaixing was probably not simply leaving due to some matter, but something had happened to her!

"Jiang Feng, what's wrong?"

Officer Shen, seeing Jiang Feng's solemn expression, felt a tightening in her heart as well, and asked cautiously.

Jiang Feng slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed across them.

"She may have had something happen to her."
