Chapter 383: The Day of the Appointment

The day of the appointment between Nan Feihuang and Qian Renxue has arrived.

Feihuang did not bring anyone else; he and his mother came to Guteleisi Mountain alone. A pavilion was built on the mountainside, specifically for travelers to rest for a moment or to take shelter when it rained.

Feihuang and his mother sat in the pavilion, chatting and laughing as they waited for the arrival of others, without the slightest feeling that a great battle was imminent; the atmosphere was incredibly relaxed.

But in the eyes of those who did not know the truth, this was normal. After all, who they were waiting for at this moment was not an enemy, but the young man's sweetheart and the mother's daughter-in-law; naturally, there was no need for a tense, sword-drawn appearance.

In the young man's hand, he held a ginseng that emitted a brilliant radiance.

"Hehe, they've finally arrived. Today is the day of death for this Flying General and the Profound Ice Douluo." In the shadows, the gloomy and hoarse voice of Ghost rang out. After speaking, he prepared to launch a sneak attack to surround and kill Nan Feihuang and Lan Xue.

But at this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly pressed down on his shoulder, "Wait, Ghost, is that thing in Nan Feihuang's hand... could it be an Immortal Grade Herb, the Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King?"

"Immortal Grade? Is it the same as your Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum?" Ghost had been close friends with Yue Guan for many years, after all, so he still had some understanding of the term "Immortal Grade."

A martial soul transformed from an Immortal Grade Herb had achieved the rank of Title Douluo for Chrysanthemum Douluo, which was enough to foresee the power of an Immortal Grade Herb.

"That's right, this must be the Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King, a supreme foundation-building Immortal Herb. Its medicinal efficacy is enough to allow someone without innate soul power to give birth to a not-weak innate soul power. If it were someone like our Golden Generation or the Young Master, who already possess peerless and extraordinary aptitude, and they were to consume this Immortal Herb to further build their foundation, then the strength of their innate soul power, already high as the Young Master's, would be enough to break the limit of Innate Level 20 and go even further." Chrysanthemum Douluo explained, "That Nan Feihuang said in his letter before that he brought a gift for the Young Master. Could it be this Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King? If so, this Nan Feihuang's affection for the Young Master is truly deep; he is even willing to give away an Immortal Grade Herb."

"What does this have to do with us? Ju Hua Guan, right now Nan Feihuang and Lan Xue are completely unguarded; it is the perfect time for a surprise attack. Why are you worrying about so much?" Demon Bear Douluo said with dissatisfaction. As a rough man, he did not know how to appreciate the beauty of an Immortal Grade Herb.

"No, no, no, Demon Bear. Of course we must kill them, but if we attack rashly now and accidentally destroy that Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King, what then? This is desecrating an Immortal Grade Herb. If anyone did that, I would never forgive them, no matter what." Chrysanthemum Douluo said hatefully; he could not tolerate an Immortal Grade Herb being destroyed right in front of him.

"Ju Hua Guan, then what do you suggest we do? We can't just give up the plan because of a blade of grass." Ghost Leopard had his face covered, so his expression could not be seen, but one could roughly sense that he was also somewhat unhappy. He had been rubbing his hands and feet, ready to go to the battlefield, so what was the meaning of suddenly stopping the advance?

Don't you know that the first drum beat raises the spirit, the second exhausts it, and the third drains it? "This..." Chrysanthemum Douluo was also somewhat hesitant. He really had no way to preserve this Immortal Grade Herb while killing Nan Feihuang.

One must know that the destructive power of a Title Douluo is very strong. Even the aftermath of the shockwaves alone could cause this Immortal Grade Herb to be destroyed in an instant, which would truly be a terrible waste of heaven's gifts.

"I actually have a way." Lingyuan Douluo spoke up; women always have more clever ideas, "Since we have to sneak attack him anyway, why not use a method of deceiving his feelings? A secret surprise attack is too low-class."

Lingyuan smiled very evilly, the very image of a supreme "scum" woman.

"Whatever, if you have an idea, go and try it!" Demon Bear was already somewhat impatient and waved his hand, too lazy to care about such matters of love.

"Tch, dead straight man, just watch me." Lingyuan stood up straight, revealing her graceful figure, which appeared extremely sexy and charming under her tight-fitting suit.

The greatest benefit of having a high cultivation level is not showing one's age. This woman was clearly over seventy years old, yet in appearance, she was no different from a woman in her prime of twenty or thirty.

Lan Xue was the same; at fifty, when she walked on the street with Nan Feihuang, given that their appearances were somewhat similar, no one would ever doubt that they were biological siblings. Lingyuan no longer hid her aura and flew over from the sky in a grand manner.

Lan Xue and Nan Feihuang sensed an aura approaching and immediately walked out of the pavilion. Looking up, they saw a woman slowly landing in front of them.

"The two of you must be the Flying General Nan Feihuang and the Profound Ice Excellency Lan Xue, right? Nice to meet you, I am one of the Nine Great Elders of the Spirit Hall, Lingyuan Douluo." Lingyuan introduced herself with a smile.

"I have long admired your name!" Nan Feihuang stepped forward to pay his respects, "Excellency Lingyuan, did you come over with my Xue Jie?"

"Yes, the Young Master is the Saintess of our Offering Hall and holds a revered status. Naturally, it is impossible for her to travel without a Title Douluo guarding her. I am the one responsible for protecting her this time." Lingyuan Douluo lied without blushing, and she did it with ease without even blinking.

Feihuang nodded as if it were a serious matter, "So that's how it is."

He appeared to have not the slightest suspicion at all.

"Then where is my Xue Jie? Has she not arrived yet?"

"Flying General, could we step aside to speak? The Young Master had something come up temporarily today and might not be able to come. She has some words she wants me to convey to you privately." Lingyuan said.

"She can't come?" Feihuang was stunned, and his expression became visibly disappointed.

"Yes, the Young Master is, after all, the Saintess of the Offering Hall of our Spirit Hall, and she has her own responsibilities. She received intelligence about an Evil Spirit Master appearing somewhere and had to go personally to kill them. After all, she may inherit the Offering Hall or even the entire Spirit Hall in the future; she must have sufficient achievements to convince the masses." Lingyuan said, "However, don't you want to hear the words the Young Master asked me to convey? These are a young woman's private matters, and it's not appropriate to say them with an elder present!"

Lingyuan looked at Lan Xue. A young woman's situation, naturally, would be embarrassing to speak of in front of her sweetheart's mother. It was only human nature that she wanted to convey it to Feihuang alone.

"Since that is the case, then Excellency Lingyuan, please come this way; I also happen to have some things I want to say." Feihuang pointed toward the direction of the rock wall and then turned back, "Mother, you rest for a moment then. Once I finish talking with Excellency Lingyuan, we will head back."

"Alright!" Lan Xue nodded, not caring in the slightest.

She knew how strong her son was. The current Nan Feihuang, let alone an ordinary Title Douluo, even a Super Douluo, would not be his match unless they were Level 97 or higher.

Lingyuan was only Level 92 or 93; if they really fought, she didn't know if she could last ten moves against Nan Feihuang.

Moreover, she also needed to stall for time at this moment. Besides herself and her son, there was another helper who should be arriving soon.

Nan Feihuang and Lingyuan walked together to the rock wall, and Feihuang said, "Excellency, what are the words Xue Jie asked you to convey to me? You may speak now!"
