Chapter 998: Scum
Lin Feng watched silently as Tianlin Gongzi’s body fell, his expression blank. Then he turned and stepped out in one stride, entering the desolate mountains.
“Old man, I need to find a place to cultivate for a few days,” Lin Feng said to Qiongqi.
“I know. Stabilize your bloodline power well!” Qiongqi followed Lin Feng into the desolate mountains.
Deep in the wilderness, in a cave dwelling devoid of human presence, Lin Feng stepped inside and immediately entered a state of cultivation.
His divine sense sank into his body. His meridians were now much wider than before, even tinged with a golden hue. Hot blood coursed endlessly through them, his blood energy surging, giving Lin Feng a feeling of boundless power.
Within the surging bloodline, a demonic core was being nurtured. This core carried a powerful demonic aura and a vitality of new life.
The dragon soul had helped him merge the bloodline power into his body, but it had not yet fully completed the tempering of his entire physique, integrating the bloodline power into his limbs and bones.
With a thought, the bloodline energy instantly rolled and roared. Before, his blood had been red and calm, silent without a sound. Now, it was wild and powerful, a hint of golden energy threading through the crimson, as if symbolizing nobility and strength.
The moment Lin Feng willed it, he could feel his terrifying bloodline power churning violently, roaring. In the cave dwelling, a dreadful howling sound spread out, echoing within the cave, shaking the entire space with continuous roars, as if an ocean were surging, with monstrous waves roaring in fury.
Two days later, Lin Feng’s entire body was bathed in a layer of golden luster. The sounds from the cave dwelling where he cultivated became even more terrifying. Waves of roaring sounds rolled out, seemingly endless, one wave after another, even penetrating the cave and reaching the desolate mountains, echoing through the empty valley.
At that moment, above the desolate mountains, a figure draped in a pure white long dress streaked across the void. The woman wore a veil, seemingly to conceal her face, but it could not hide her alluring figure. Just one glance at her silhouette was enough to evoke an irresistible temptation.
A series of terrifying ocean-like roars sounded, accompanied by a formidable surge of blood energy, causing the woman to pause mid-step. A hint of a peculiar expression flickered in her exposed, beautiful eyes.
What was this sound? It seemed like a mountain roar and a tidal wave, far too intense.
“Aooo…” Suddenly, a dragon’s roar intertwined with the furious howls in the void, making her body tremble slightly. Could there be a demonic dragon cultivating in these desolate mountains?
She had heard that not long ago, at the bottom of the Wu River in Wu Town, a dragon palace had appeared, with countless powerful experts vying for the demonic dragon’s core. In the end, the core was taken by Hou Qinglin of the Azure Forest Reincarnation Sword. But now, in these desolate mountains, why was there also such a furious dragon roar? Though the sound was not strong, it was still the cry of a demonic dragon.
Taking a step, the woman moved toward the direction of the sound. But at that moment, both the ocean-like roars and the dragon’s cry vanished, as if they had subsided, leaving her with a hint of confusion.
Her figure flickered, and soon she arrived before a cave dwelling. It seemed the furious roars had come from here. Outside the cave, there were actually two other figures: one human and one demon.
The human was quite ordinary, with a calm aura, a well-proportioned build, and a rather handsome face. However, his cultivation was very average, only at the Third Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, nothing special.
The demonic beast beside him, however, was somewhat unusual—a rare Qiongqi, which made her take a few extra glances.
“Did you just hear furious roars coming from here?” the woman asked Lin Feng lightly, her voice soft but carrying a natural air of nobility.
“I heard them. That’s why I came here too, but I found nothing,” Lin Feng replied with a faint smile. He hadn’t expected that when his cultivation broke through, his bloodline would surge, producing a dragon’s roar that startled him into stopping his cultivation. He quickly left the cave dwelling. During this sensitive time, with the Wu River incident not yet over, if anyone learned that the dragon’s roar had come from his body, it would likely cause trouble again.
The woman raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt on her face. She couldn’t have misheard, but when her divine sense probed the cave dwelling, it was indeed as Lin Feng had said—empty.
As for Lin Feng standing before her, she didn’t suspect him. After all, she had clearly heard the dragon’s roar.
Shaking her head slightly, the woman turned and slowly left.
“Time is short. Let’s go too,” Lin Feng said with a thought. A Void Ship appeared beside him. The distance from here to the Heavenly Terrace was still vast. If he didn’t take the Void Ship, he wasn’t sure he could make it in time.
The woman seemed to sense something. Seeing that Lin Feng actually had a Void Ship, she was momentarily stunned. Then she stepped back and looked at him with surprise. “Are you the one who took a thousand Essence Crystals from the Yang Clan and Yang Ziye’s Void Ship in Tianyuan City that day?”
“Hmm?” Lin Feng’s expression tightened. He hadn’t expected the news to spread so quickly. Meeting someone at random, and they already knew about it.
“This Void Ship was destroyed on a desolate island. I repaired it using special means, and I also obtained Yang Ziye’s consent. How is that me taking it?” Lin Feng said, somewhat displeased.
“I misspoke,” the woman said with a faint smile, her beautiful eyes very lovely.
“I didn’t expect that with your cultivation at the Third Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, you could actually fight Qiu Junluo and even injure him. Not bad,” the woman said, looking at Lin Feng with a hint of interest. She smiled and added, “Could you give me a ride? I happen to have no means of travel.”
But she seemed to have made a mistake. When Lin Feng fought Qiu Junluo before, his cultivation was at the Second Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. Only after today had he reached the Third Layer.
“Give you a ride? How do you know we’re going the same way?” Lin Feng asked.
“From this direction, if I’m not mistaken, our destination is the same: the Heavenly Terrace!” the woman said with a gentle laugh.
Lin Feng nodded. Indeed, the Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor were recruiting Martial Emperor’s Disciples at the Heavenly Terrace, attracting many people.
“I can take you, no problem. I just hope you won’t be like Yang Ziye. I brought her out of the desolate island, and at the Yang Clan, she humiliated me, thinking I had ulterior motives.”
“Are you comparing me to Yang Ziye?” The woman shook her head with a smile. “Don’t worry, that won’t happen.”
“Alright, get on then!” Lin Feng gestured. The Void Ship could be enlarged or shrunk. Since they were going the same way, having one more person wouldn’t affect him, especially since she was a beautiful woman. From her tone just now, she seemed indifferent to Yang Ziye. Judging by her temperament and cultivation, her identity was likely extraordinary.
The two of them and the demonic beast boarded the Void Ship. With a thought from Lin Feng, the ship streaked through the desolate mountains, speeding toward the Heavenly Terrace at an incredible pace.
“I still don’t know your name,” the woman asked Lin Feng with a smile as they sat on the Void Ship.
“At least let me see your true face first,” Lin Feng said with a light laugh, gazing into the distance.
“You’re a proud person,” the woman said with a low chuckle. Then she reached up and wiped her face, revealing her beautiful features. Her eyes were like water, her skin delicate, as if it would break at a touch. She was a very beautiful woman.
But the moment Lin Feng saw her, his face stiffened. Looking at the smile on her face, countless thoughts surged through his mind in an instant—shock, doubt, confusion, guilt.
Reaching out, Lin Feng touched her cheek with his palm, his movements gentle.
But his action froze the woman’s body. Then, a terrifying chill emanated from her.
“Scum!” A cold shout rang out. The woman struck out like lightning, attacking Lin Feng. How dare someone harass her like this? For a moment, she had been stunned, allowing Lin Feng to touch her skin. This was a death wish.
The chill made Lin Feng’s body stiffen, as if he had suddenly snapped out of it. He quickly retreated, but a terrifying finger wind shot toward him, sharper than a sword.
