Chapter 1228: Lord Lou

"

Ah,

so the fairy has recognized me!"

Lin Mu saw Lan Yuhuang staring straight at him and immediately covered his face with exaggerated shyness. "I know I am handsome, but if you stare at me like that, I will still feel shy!"

Lan Yuhuang's mouth twitched again. This man had none of a genius's bearing!

Ling Feng rolled his eyes. He finally met someone who could rival the Despicable Donkey. This youth carried a suffocating aura of shamelessness from head to toe. He was the true embodiment of man and shamelessness in perfect harmony!

Lin Mu seemed to enjoy flirting but did not continue pestering Lan Yuhuang. Instead he gave Ling Feng a meaningful look, then turned to the martial practitioners who were treating him like a legendary figure. He smiled and said, "No problem at all. Since you have shared the secret of this place with me, I will naturally not burn the bridge after crossing it!"

He then kicked the old turtle behind him and said cheerfully, "Old turtle, let us become man and turtle united. We will charge together toward victory!"

The old turtle glared at him ruthlessly. It was clearly still holding a grudge about being thrown away earlier when Lin Mu abandoned him for a pretty face.

A moment later, a sly light flashed within the old turtle's round bronze eyes. It grinned. "Fine. You better stand firm!"

"

Hehe!

"

Lin Mu laughed, sprang onto the old turtle's back, raised his arm high and burst out laughing. "Do not worry, old turtle. Push the speed to seventy. We will rush forward together!"

"

Hmph!

"

The old turtle lifted its head proudly. All four limbs scraped the ground with force, and then it shot forward like an arrow loose from a bow.

It was difficult to imagine that a creature known for slowness could reach such terrifying speed.

Lin Mu's robes snapped wildly in the wind. His spirit soared as he laughed loudly. "That is it, old turtle. One push. Charge across!"

However, when the old turtle reached the edge of the Bridge of Life and Death, its four limbs suddenly stopped as if nailed into the ground. Lin Mu, who stood on its back, was caught completely off guard. He was flung forward and crashed heavily onto the Bridge of Life and Death.

Everyone heard three muffled

thuds

, followed by Lin Mu's anguished cry, "Ah! You damned turtle, one day I will cook you into turtle soup!"

"

Hahaha!

"

The old turtle laughed so hard that it toppled over at the bridge's edge. Its four limbs kicked wildly in the air. "You rotten blockhead, this is your lesson from your grandpa turtle!"

"Damn turtle, just wait!"

"

Hehe

. Rotten blockhead, grandpa turtle is not your demonic pet. If that perverted old man had not been caught peeking at your sister while she bathed, he would never have thrown me to you to work like a beast. Now that the two years are up, I am done serving you!"

The old turtle finished speaking and, under everyone's stunned gaze, pulled all four limbs and its head into its shell. It then rolled down the mountain like a boulder, kicking up a thick cloud of dust.

The sight left everyone speechless.

The old turtle's words contained a surprising amount of information. A perverted old man, peeking at someone bathing?

Who was that perverted old man?

Rumor had it that Lin Mu's master was a Great Emperor of the Dongling Immortal Pool. Could it be...

A dignified Great Emperor was actually a perverted old man?

Ling Feng touched his nose. He originally thought Jiang Biyi was already quite the oddball. He had not expected Lin Mu to be an oddball among oddballs.

Was the entire Dongling Immortal Pool full of strange people?

Lan Yuhuang rubbed her eyes forcefully. Her voice was full of disbelief. "The inner sect genius of the Dongling Immortal Pool actually looks like this?"

Ling Feng smiled faintly. "Although Lin Mu was pranked by the old turtle, the moment he was thrown, he reacted instantly and landed firmly on the Bridge of Life and Death. That is not something an ordinary person can do, this guy is not simple!"

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes. He could not shake the feeling that the look Lin Mu gave him earlier seemed as if he knew him.

Yet aside from Jiang Biyi and a few others, Ling Feng did not know anyone from the Dongling Immortal Pool.

"Old turtle, you actually left just like that. You heartless thing! Have you forgotten the past two years when we traveled everywhere and peeked at women's bathhouses together? Old turtle, you cannot leave! I cannot live without you!"

"Rotten blockhead, go die somewhere!"

Halfway down the mountain, the old turtle's furious roar echoed, but its rolling speed only increased. It clearly wanted nothing more to do with this weirdo.

"

Hmph,

leave then! Just wait, you old turtle. When I return, I will catch you and cook you into soup! I will drink it with my sister!"

Lin Mu placed his hands on his hips and spat viciously in the old turtle's direction.

The crowd once again felt as if they were being struck by lightning. Ling Feng glanced at Tuoba Yan and silently wondered if bringing her to the Dongling Immortal Pool might have been a mistake.

What if people at Dongling Immortal Pool really enjoyed peeking at junior sisters bathing...

He shook his head forcefully to clear the thought. The Dongling Immortal Pool was still a sacred land of the human race. Oddballs must be the minority.

"

Hmph

. Old turtle, do not think I cannot manage without you!"

Lin Mu snorted. He was about to move forward when a loud, angry voice echoed from behind.

"Who the hell threw stones down the mountain. You almost smashed my head!"

The voice boomed like thunder across the summit. A moment later a burly man appeared within view.

Everyone's eyelids twitched. They stepped forward in unison and bowed respectfully. "We greet Lord Lou!"

The man had a crimson beard and a pair of large bronze eyes. He glared at the crowd while continuing to curse. "Greet what? This damned place is a nightmare!"

Ling Feng touched the bridge of his nose and looked at the man. He asked, "Miss Lan, who is this Lord Lou?"

Lan Yuhuang lowered her voice. "His name is Lou Qianzhong. He is one of the ten Human Emperors of the Inner Sea. Rumor has it his strength rivals that of the Illusion Heart Queen. Whether that is true is hard to say."

She continued softly, "Even so, his strength is definitely first class among wandering cultivators. This time he is considered one of the leading contenders among those entering the Sea of Miracles."

"

Oh?

"

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and studied Lou Qianzhong carefully. His cultivation had reached the fourth level of the Human Emperor realm. He was indeed the best among these wandering cultivators.

It seemed that in the Tianlan Sea Region, although Human Emperors were not exceptionally rare, advancing within that realm was unbelievably slow. Aside from the Murong Clan's Human Emperors, very few major forces possessed experts above the fifth level.

The Sea of Miracles must conceal enormous secrets.
