Chapter 17: Why not just seize Qin Dao Ming?

This flying vessel also has fourth-grade spiritual qi, and its flight speed is very fast. However, it reached the Tianyuan Secret Realm in just an hour.

Ling Feng looked down from the flying vessel and saw countless cultivators crowding the entrance of the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

"Look, it's Fairy Lin, Fairy Lin has come."

Lin Luyao truly lives up to being the greatest beauty of the Southern Domain; wherever she goes, she never lacks admirers.

But everyone knows Lin Luyao has a cold personality, keeping everyone at arm's length.

Even the Da Qin Guo Jia's First Genius, Qin Dao Ming, couldn't elicit the slightest change in Lin Luyao's expression when facing her.

"Fairy Lin, the Tianyuan Secret Realm is fraught with danger; let me scout the path for you."

"Fairy, fairy, let me come."

As soon as Lin Luyao disembarked from the flying vessel, many cultivators wanted to team up with her.

It's a joke—this is Fairy Lin; even if they were being used, they would willingly do so.

On the spirit boat, Ling Feng witnessed this scene and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Lin Luyao's lethal power is truly immense.

Lin Luyao merely replied politely.

"Thank you, everyone; I already have a companion."

Having said that, she greeted Ling Feng.

"What? Who is this person, actually sharing the same flying vessel with Fairy Lin?"

When everyone turned their gaze to Ling Feng, they couldn't help but feel surprised.

Had they known that no man ever accompanied Lin Luyao, they would realize even Qin Dao Ming has been rejected countless times.

Ling Feng felt helpless; he knew being by Lin Luyao's side invited trouble, but he had no choice—who made him give so much?

Ling Feng had no choice but to accompany Lin Luyao.

This scene was also seen by Jia Ming.

He hurriedly went to inform his master.

Upon hearing this, Qin Dao Ming was filled with rage.

"This time I must kill him in the Tianyuan Secret Realm." Qin Dao Ming's hatred for Ling Feng knows no bounds.

Soon after, the Great Yun Empire's First Genius, Ling Ye, and the Saintess of the Profound Heaven Sect, Yue Ning, also arrived at the site.

Ling Ye's arrival also drew the attention of the cultivators here, after all he is the foremost of the three great geniuses.

Ling Ye and Yue Ning also saw Ling Feng present here.

Ling Ye stared for a moment, then smiled; he did not go to greet Ling Feng, and just as Yue Ning was about to reprimand Ling Feng, Ling Ye stopped her.

"Senior sister, let's discuss this later." He knew Ling Feng's temperament; coming so discreetly, Ling Ye was also indulging him.

Yue Ning thought it over and then agreed.

Meanwhile, seeing Ling Ye's actions, Ling Feng couldn't help but think to himself.

"No wonder he's my big brother; he just understands me."

Meanwhile, Lin Luyao also nodded at Ling Ye as a greeting.

"Lin Luyao truly has an extraordinary aura." Even Yue Ning couldn't help but sigh in admiration when facing Lin Luyao.

"Yes, Miss Lin is indeed outstanding." Ling Ye echoed.

"I don't know how this little bastard managed to have Lin Luyao travel with him."

Ling Ye smiled.

"I suppose the younger brother must have some extraordinary ability."

Not long after, the Tianyuan Secret Realm opened, and all cultivators surged forward.

Lin Luyao also entered together with Ling Feng.

Lin Luyao brought Ling Feng along, not moving with the crowd, and purposefully led him to a certain place.

"Young master, this place requires us to enter from opposite sides; you need to slay two ferocious beasts on one side, obtain their inner keys, and meet me in the middle—only then can we summon the Heart of the Five Elements."

Ling Feng nodded and then headed toward the left entrance.

Not long after entering, Ling Feng felt the place growing increasingly hot.

Going further in, Ling Feng saw a Flame Lord lying on the ground; this must be one of the ferocious beasts Lin Luyao mentioned.

Ling Feng wasted no words, directly employing Gravity Meteorite, a martial skill he obtained inside the small pagoda.

Instantly the sky darkened, countless meteors rained down—this momentum was enough to frighten a person out of their wits.

The Flame Lord also sensed the threat, letting out a mighty roar as a protective membrane of spiritual power formed around it.

Immediately, huge meteors incessantly struck the Flame Lord, while its protective membrane kept shattering.

The Flame Lord roared angrily and then vanished from its spot; Ling Feng also sensed the threat and thrust a palm backward—at that moment the Flame Lord's silhouette, following the palm, collapsed to the ground.

The Flame Lord hastily scrambled to its feet and looked at Ling Feng, never expecting his reaction speed to be so fast that he could even predict its landing point.

While Ling Feng battled the Flame Lord, Jia Ming, hiding in the dark, sought to strike when both were weakened.

He had been sent by Qin Dao Ming to follow Ling Feng, after all their intel was merely that Ling Feng was lazy and untalented, claiming death would be at the Origin Spirit Realm; Jia Ming already possessed ninth-level Origin Spirit Realm cultivation, and in the eyes of Qin Dao Ming and Jia Ming, dealing with a Ling Feng was sufficient.

Ling Feng had long been aware of Jia Ming's presence, yet he did not expose him.

The Flame Lord then howled toward the sky and charged at Ling Feng, while Ling Feng feigned injury, collapsing to the ground and spitting blood from the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, he and the Flame Lord engaged in combat.

Man and beast exchanged blows; under Ling Feng's acting, he expended tremendous effort to finally slay the Flame Lord and obtain its key.

Meanwhile, seeing the opportunity ripe, Jia Ming hidden in the dark launched a covert attack, while Ling Feng had long known of Jia Ming's presence.

Ling Feng easily dodged, leaving Jia Ming greatly astonished.

That strike was his strongest, and he had launched it from ambush, yet Ling Feng effortlessly evaded it.

Jia Ming truly lives up to being someone who follows Qin Dao Ming; seeing the situation turn bad, he immediately prepares to run, but the information was wrong—Ling Feng is absolutely a powerhouse of the Myriad Laws Realm.

But Ling Feng would not give him a chance, immediately he slashed at Jia Ming with a sword.

"Sword intent, you're actually a sword cultivator!" Jia Ming exclaimed in shock, he sensed a deadly aura.

Jia Ming hurriedly used all his spiritual power to form a barrier to block Ling Feng's sword intent.

As the sword intent approached, the barrier before Jia Ming shattered at a touch.

Then his head fell. His eyes filled with regret; he wanted to tell this news to Qin Dao Ming, but he had no chance left—even his soul was directly shattered by that sword intent.

"What the hell, it's this weak." Ling Feng said, speechless.

Although he said that, his hand showed no hesitation—he took off Jia Ming's storage ring and forcibly opened it.

"I shit, five hundred thousand spirit crystals—I didn't expect a lackey of Qin Dao Ming to have this many spirit crystals. Adding these third- and fourth-grade spiritual artifacts, over a million spirit crystals is more than enough."

Ling Feng looked at his spoils, so happy he couldn't stop grinning.

Being a lackey of Qin Dao Ming and yet so rich—why not just rob Qin Dao Ming himself?
