# Chapter 1530: Dialogue

In the central area of this tribal ancient castle, there was a row of neat low houses. In front of one of these houses, medicinal herbs were spread out on the ground to dry.

A woman wearing a yellow and white long dress was tending to the various medicinal herbs, sorting them by category, meticulous and thorough.

"Yun'er, you've brought back so many medicinal herbs from the city again!" An old man walked out from a nearby house and called out to the woman in the long dress with a smile.

"Grandpa Bai, this is all their credit. Without the demon wolf's body and demon core, I wouldn't have been able to trade for so many medicinal herbs." The woman called Yun'er showed a sweet smile to the old man and said softly.

"Hehe, with you here, Yun'er, how could they not give their all!" The old man chuckled and gestured with his chin toward the woman's back. A young man with a well-proportioned and sturdy build was carrying a complete demon wolf body toward them. The demon wolf's body was dozens of meters long and seven or eight meters tall, its fur a earthy yellow color. The young man carried it on his shoulder, making him appear especially small.

"Rong Qing, you're really diligent." The old man called out, and the woman also revealed a faint smile. Rong Qing carried the demon wolf to the girl's side, then threw the demon wolf body down and said, "Yun'er, this big fellow is yours to handle."

"Thank you!" The girl said politely to Rong Qing. Rong Qing gazed deeply at the girl, a look of admiration in his eyes, and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Alright!" The girl still nodded calmly. Rong Qing was reluctant, but still turned and walked away. However, after a few steps, he stopped. Three unfamiliar figures were walking toward them, seemingly heading in the girl's direction.

Lin Feng and his companions had inquired their way here. At this moment, he felt the young man's gaze and looked up slightly. This young man had perfect bone structure and was not weak in cultivation, actually being a Fourth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm expert.

"In the Holy City Central Continent, venerable ones seem too common." Lin Feng thought to himself. As he walked along, he had noticed that many venerable level figures existed, while venerable lords were relatively rare. As for Martial Emperor level experts, he hadn't seen any. For the people of this tribal castle, Martial Emperors should also be powerful existences.

"Who are you people?" Rong Qing saw Lin Feng's handsome face and a hint of hostility appeared in his eyes as he spoke to Lin Feng and the other two.

"We're looking for Mu Yun!" Lin Feng said. At this moment, the girl not far away looked up and glanced in their direction.

Rong Qing took a step forward, still showing hostility in his eyes, vaguely blocking Lin Feng and the others, and said, "What business do you have?"

"Rong Qing, let them come over!" The girl spoke from behind. Only then did Rong Qing step aside, watching Lin Feng and the others walk past him. But this time, he didn't leave either, following behind Lin Feng and his companions.

"Do you have something to see me about?" Mu Yun sized up Lin Feng and his two companions. These three were very unfamiliar, seemingly not from their tribe.

"Hmm?" Lin Feng showed a surprised expression upon hearing Mu Yun's words. Mu Yun had an excellent figure—tall, slightly thin, appearing especially delicate and frail, making one want to protect her. Her face was different from others in the tribe, very fair and extremely beautiful. Especially her eyes, exceptionally clear, giving a sense of ethereal purity. It was truly hard to connect such a young beauty with a female priest.

"My master has some injuries to his body. I'd like to ask you to take a look." Lin Feng said after a moment of stunned silence, pointing to Yu Huang beside him.

"Let me see!" Mu Yun walked to Yu Huang's side and placed her palm on his shoulder. A marvelous force was released from her body, actually a celestial spiritual energy, giving a gentle feeling, very comfortable, the same as the celestial spiritual energy on Xue Biyao.

Sensing Yu Huang's body, Mu Yun's beautiful eyes showed a surprised expression, saying, "Meridians completely destroyed, all five organs and six viscera damaged to varying degrees. You're still alive, and you look like a normal person!"

Mu Yun had definitely encountered this situation for the first time. How could someone with such severe injuries survive?

"My master's body is quite special. Can it be healed?" Lin Feng could only explain it this way. Yu Huang had been severely wounded by law force, and the degree of damage inside his body could be imagined. But hearing Mu Yun's words, Lin Feng still felt his heart tremble. Venerable level experts could use bloodline power to heal their own injuries, with tenacious vitality. But Martial Emperor level experts had even more formidable vitality—as long as there was breath, their physical body would not perish.

"I'll try, but it will require a very long period of gentle nurturing. I don't know if I can succeed, since I've never seen this situation before!" Mu Yun's slender brows were slightly furrowed as she said slowly.

"Thank you." Lin Feng knew that Mu Yun couldn't completely heal his master's injuries, but at least they should try to see if they could recover some. Moreover, they happened to be hiding here for a while, waiting for the storm to pass. The desert was vast and boundless, containing countless tribal castles. Finding one person was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. Hiding here, they shouldn't be easily discovered.

"I still have a few vacant rooms here. You can stay here for now, which will make treatment more convenient." Mu Yun said again, causing Rong Qing's expression to stiffen. He said, "Yun'er, their origins are unknown. How can you let them stay!"

"Who would deliberately harm me? He is indeed seriously injured." Mu Yun gently shook her head. Although Rong Qing was anxious, he had no way to stop it. In the end, he could only helplessly watch Mu Yun invite Lin Feng and the others into the courtyard next to her own residence, becoming her neighbors.

Lin Feng spent this day quite nervously. Especially when he occasionally saw people flying across the sky above, his heart was even more unsettled. After all, he was an ordinary person and couldn't completely let go, not knowing how everyone else was doing.

Night fell. Lin Feng sat cross-legged in his room, quietly cultivating in the darkness, silent and still. Yu Huang stayed in the same room with him for convenience in looking after each other, while Lightning Martial Emperor was in the next room. However, the other party was probably unable to sleep. Without obtaining the Great Emperor's ancient scripture, the other party would find it hard to rest easy, worried that Lin Feng might escape.

But this situation continued for a few days before Lightning Martial Emperor became somewhat more at ease. Lin Feng and Yu Huang had been staying here very quietly these past few days, and no one had come searching for them. The hanging heart was also slightly put down, as if they had breathed a sigh of relief.

It had to be said that although Mu Yun was not a Martial Emperor level expert, her healing ability was truly remarkable. Using celestial spiritual power to guide healing techniques, combined with the medicines she brewed, she was actually able to slowly revive Yu Huang's five organs and six viscera. Yu Huang's complexion was visibly improving day by day. Although the damaged meridians were also gradually improving, they could never fully heal. The trauma left by law force could not be repaired. What truly left Yu Huang severely injured was still that day's interception by Eastern Emperor.

"Lin Feng, Yu Huang's injuries have recovered quite a bit. Shouldn't you hand over the lower part of the Emperor Scripture to me now?" In the courtyard, Lightning Martial Emperor used powerful force to pressure Lin Feng, trying to apply pressure and make him hand over the Emperor Scripture. Although time had passed peacefully, Lightning Martial Emperor's heart was still hanging, very uncomfortable.

"The time hasn't come yet!" Lin Feng shook his head.

"How much longer do I have to wait!" Lightning Martial Emperor's voice was cold, and a powerful momentum wildly pressed down on Lin Feng's body.

"When the time comes, I'll naturally tell you. Otherwise, you can just kill me too!" Feeling Lightning Martial Emperor's oppressive force, Lin Feng said coldly, then walked toward his own room, leaving Lightning Martial Emperor with a stiff expression.

"You..." Lightning Martial Emperor's eyes flashed with killing intent, but he was helpless and could only wait. Staring at Lin Feng's retreating back as he entered the room, he thought coldly in his heart, "The day I get the Emperor Scripture will be your end!"

Lin Feng still immersed himself in cultivation day and night. Yu Huang constantly watched Lin Feng cultivate. He would even occasionally see Lin Feng's face twist in pain, sighing inwardly. He didn't know what technique Lin Feng was cultivating that caused such pain, and he practiced without stopping every day. Sometimes he would also sense that terrifying curse power was spreading from Lin Feng, extremely wild. But every time this happened, Yu Huang would help isolate the space and erase the aura.

Seven days had passed since Lin Feng arrived in this world. Outside the desert, there was an extremely vast city, boundless and endless. In this city, there stood a huge castle reaching into the sky, like an immortal palace or divine fortress. One needed to climb countless steps to reach that sky castle.

At this moment, in a great hall within the castle, a middle-aged man wearing a golden long robe tapped on a sandalwood ancient table, producing crisp sounds. Every slight sound made the hearts of the people standing below violently jump.

Among those standing below, Eastern Emperor was also present!

"How many days has it been!" A low voice came out, very soft, but it added a heavy feeling to the entire hall.

"Seven days!" A strong man below said respectfully. This strong man was actually the mid-rank emperor who had fought with Mu Chen, with terrifying strength.

"Seven days. Where is the person I want?"

As this voice fell, those people immediately lowered their heads, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into, silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to speak.

"Your subordinate has already sealed all entrances from the desert to the city. Everyone is being checked. Once there's any discovery, we will immediately go to arrest them!" The person who had just spoken said tremblingly, "And next, I will send people to start searching from the city toward the desert, checking every tribal castle one by one!"
