Chapter 301: I Don’t Want to See You Sad
Wu Gang’s body was still bound in midair by the purple serpent, his severed legs continuously dripping blood. His body trembled violently as agonized roars escaped his throat.
“That sword just now was for your shamelessness,” Lin Feng said coldly. A flash of sword light followed, and another excruciating scream rang out as Wu Gang lost another arm—severed cleanly.
Overwhelming pain brought tears streaming from Wu Gang’s eyes. He hated, he hurt, and his heart was filled with endless regret. Why, why had he provoked this demon? Now he could neither live nor die, tormented by boundless suffering.
“That sword was for slandering me,” Lin Feng’s voice remained icy and merciless. “And this final sword is for Yun Xi.”
A ruthless sword light cut through the air, and Wu Gang’s last remaining arm was severed by Lin Feng. Then the purple serpent released his body, letting him collapse to the ground, wailing in unbearable agony.
“You were so shameless and heinous, so I’ll repay you with the most vicious method. I won’t take your life—live or die, it’s up to fate now.”
Lin Feng spat out these cold words, then his Purple Serpent Martial Soul vanished as he slowly turned around.
“Ahhh…”
Another miserable scream rang out as the last Mysterious Martial Realm Third Layer expert was killed by Old Chi and Old Huo.
Everyone from Setting Sun Sect was dead.
A group of experts and talented juniors had come to Tianluo Ancient City, hoping to seize the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron. But instead of obtaining the treasure, they were all slaughtered, leaving only Wu Gang—practically a dead man, alive but worse than dead.
And all of this started over a trivial matter. Because of the evil in Wu Gang’s heart, two junior sisters from his sect were killed. Unable to avenge them, he instead let his wicked desires drive him to insult Yun Xi, using Tyrant Blade as a scapegoat, which drew Lin Feng into the conflict.
This led to the massacre. The Setting Sun Sect experts who came to Tianluo Ancient City—one Mysterious Martial Realm Third Layer, two Second Layer, three First Layer—this was their true elite force. Now all were dead. From now on, the Setting Sun Sect was destined to fall behind the other major sects.
All because they offended Lin Feng.
Looking at the corpses strewn across the ground, Lin Feng’s face showed no emotion, not a trace of pity.
He still remembered the cold indifference in these people’s eyes when Yun Xi tried to kill herself. Their hearts were all ice-cold. Killing such people, Lin Feng felt no guilt.
Lin Feng glanced at Yun Xi in Meng Qing’s arms, then looked at Old Huo and asked, “Old Huo, what pill does she need to be saved?”
“Her heart meridian is so severely damaged, nearly destroyed. Aside from a Luo Shen Pill, there’s no way to save her.”
Old Huo said slowly, causing Old Chi’s pupils to contract sharply. A Luo Shen Pill—it would take a Luo Shen Pill to save her!
Seeing Old Chi’s reaction, Lin Feng pressed further, “Old Huo, what grade is a Luo Shen Pill?”
“The lowest-grade Luo Shen Pill is a top-grade Mysterious Pill. A high-quality one is a Heavenly Pill.”
“Heavenly Pill!”
Lin Feng’s heart trembled violently. Even the worst Luo Shen Pill was a top-grade Mysterious Pill. With his current strength, where could he possibly obtain a top-grade Mysterious Pill?
And there was only a seven-day deadline. It was utterly impossible. Yun Xi seemed destined to die, with no other way out.
“Is there no other way?” Lin Feng looked at the innocent girl. How could he bear to watch Yun Xi die?
“Unless her life stops but she doesn’t die, and her heart meridian ceases to function. Otherwise, in her current state, she can only last seven days. After seven days, her heart meridian will inevitably fail and she’ll die. Aside from a Luo Shen Pill, I can’t think of any other pill with such powerful effects.”
Old Huo shook his head, causing Lin Feng’s heart to sink. Was there nothing he could do?
“I have a way.” At that moment, a voice spoke up, making Lin Feng’s gaze freeze. The speaker was actually Meng Qing.
Seeing the hope in Lin Feng’s eyes, Meng Qing lowered her gaze and said, “I can freeze her life, stopping all life functions while keeping her alive.”
“Oh?” Old Huo’s eyes flickered. Meng Qing actually had such an ability.
“If that’s possible, we can try. Temporarily freeze her life, and when the opportunity arises to obtain a Luo Shen Pill in the future, give it to her and revive her.”
“Meng Qing.” Lin Feng looked at her, and Meng Qing naturally understood the meaning in his eyes.
“Let’s go back first.” Meng Qing carried Yun Xi, turned around, and headed toward Old Huo’s residence. Lin Feng and the others immediately followed. Only Tyrant Blade stayed behind to collect the storage rings from the Mysterious Martial Realm experts before leaving.
After they left, many figures appeared at the scene from afar. Looking at the corpses on the ground, their hearts trembled violently.
Dead. All dead.
These people were all experts from the Setting Sun Sect, including several powerful Mysterious Martial Realm cultivators. But now, they all lay on the ground, lifeless.
“It’s Lin Feng and his group again… terrifying.” The crowd’s hearts quaked. Lin Feng was a demon—never provoke him.
From now on, the Setting Sun Sect would likely decline. Such a powerful force had been completely wiped out in Tianluo Ancient City.
…………
At Old Huo’s residence, Lin Feng and the other two waited outside the secret chamber. Meng Qing had taken Yun Xi inside, and they didn’t know how things were going.
After waiting for a while, the secret chamber’s door rotated open, and Meng Qing appeared at the entrance. She glanced at Lin Feng and said, “It’s done.”
With that, she walked straight away toward her own room.
Lin Feng stepped into the secret chamber and shivered slightly. It was so cold inside.
On the cultivation bed in the chamber lay a graceful figure—Yun Xi. But now she was wrapped in transparent ice, frozen solid.
Lin Feng and the others couldn’t sense even a trace of her aura.
“There shouldn’t be any problem, right?” Old Chi murmured. Lin Feng nodded and said, “I trust Meng Qing.”
Old Chi didn’t say anything more. Although Meng Qing rarely spoke, he could tell that her relationship with Lin Feng was extraordinary.
“Then let her rest here quietly. Perhaps when she wakes up, she’ll just think she had a long sleep,” Old Chi added. Lin Feng nodded slightly, having no other choice.
A Luo Shen Pill—with his current strength, he probably wasn’t qualified to obtain one. What he needed to do was continuously improve his cultivation.
“Let’s go.” Lin Feng said, stepping out of the secret chamber as the door slowly closed behind him.
Old Chi and Old Huo left first, while Lin Feng walked to Meng Qing’s door and knocked.
“I want to rest.” A cold voice came from inside, carrying a hint of “stay away” indifference.
Ignoring the cold tone, Lin Feng pushed the door open and entered.
Stepping into the room, he saw Meng Qing curled up, her body covered in a layer of frost. She was trembling—shivering from the cold.
Seeing her trembling form, Lin Feng’s heart ached.
“What are you doing here?” Meng Qing said coldly. But Lin Feng just looked at her, his eyes filled with infinite tenderness.
Roughly pulling Meng Qing into his arms, Lin Feng held her tightly and said, “Meng Qing, why did you do this? You could have avoided this suffering!”
Clearly, Meng Qing was like this because she had frozen Yun Xi, suffering from the invasion of cold energy.
Meng Qing bit her lip lightly. Although Lin Feng’s embrace was rough, it was always so effective, melting her heart.
“I don’t want to see you sad.”
Meng Qing murmured softly, making Lin Feng’s heart tremble again. She didn’t want to see him sad—that was all. For this simple reason, Meng Qing was willing to silently endure the pain, even hiding it from him.
Holding Meng Qing’s delicate body tightly, Lin Feng said slowly, “Meng Qing, I’m even less willing to see you suffer like this. You should understand—you are the most important person to me, Lin Feng.”
“You are the most important person to me!” Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Meng Qing’s heart trembled. All the endless pain and grievance seemed to vanish in an instant. She was his most important person, wasn’t she?
To Lin Feng, Meng Qing was irreplaceable. She had silently sacrificed too much for him.
“But you’ve never kissed me.” A dreamlike whisper escaped Meng Qing’s lips, making Lin Feng’s gaze freeze. Then a brilliant smile spread across his face. Meng Qing, for the first time, was actively expressing her love.
Holding Meng Qing, Lin Feng looked into her eyes, then kissed her fiercely—not gently, but deeply. One kiss, for a lifetime.
