Chapter 1317: Saint Lady Bi Luo

After recovering a bit of his strength, Ling Feng returned to the temporary cave where they were resting. Mo Sanqing and Tuoba Yan had both inhaled the soul incense, so they were still unconscious.

Fortunately, the incense caused no lasting harm to the body. By dawn, the two of them should awaken on their own.

"It is rare for that fellow to act righteously for once."

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled faintly. His view of Mo Sanqing improved slightly.

He straightened Mo Sanqing's body and let him sit leaning against the rock wall. Only then did Ling Feng walk deeper into the cave. Tuoba Yan lay on a makeshift stone bed. Her breathing was steady. Her long eyelashes trembled faintly, as if she were sleeping soundly.

Ling Feng slowly sat down in front of Tuoba Yan and frowned slightly.

From Mu Renjie's memories, Ling Feng had learned some information about Tuoba Yan.

It seemed that the Hall Master of the Illusory Moon Divine Hall had taken a liking to Tuoba Yan and intended to accept her as a direct disciple. For Tuoba Yan, it was unclear whether this was truly a good thing.

"Master Qingxuan repeatedly instructed that Yan'er must not be harmed. That means Saint Lady Hui Yue bears no hostility toward her."

Ling Feng touched the bridge of his nose and pondered for a moment. If Tuoba Yan could become the disciple of a Hall Master from one of the Three Divine Halls, it would be an immense opportunity. He had neither reason nor right to deprive her of it.

The night passed quickly.

As dawn broke, a new day finally arrived.

"

Ouch!

"

Mo Sanqing suddenly jumped up. He felt his body all over and confirmed that he was uninjured and that his head was still firmly attached to his neck. Only then did he let out a breath of relief.

"Wait, something is not right."

Mo Sanqing froze and scanned his surroundings. He spotted Ling Feng sitting on the other side of the cave entrance. Ling Feng looked rather disheveled. His clothes were torn and ragged, making him look almost like a beggar.

"Ling..."

Mo Sanqing stared at Ling Feng in shock and spoke slowly. "Brother Ling, you drove... drove away the old man from the Mu family?"

"You could say that."

Ling Feng shrugged casually. In truth, Mu Renjie had not been driven away. He was already dead.

"

Gulp!

"

Mo Sanqing swallowed hard. The corner of his mouth twitched.

A cultivator at the early tier of the Spiritual Sea Realm had driven away a peak Human Emperor!

Heaven above! Earth below!

Was this still a human being?

Yet this was the only explanation. Otherwise, could it be that heavenly soldiers had descended last night to save them?

He absolutely did not believe Mu Renjie would suddenly grow a conscience and let them go.

"All right. Let this matter rot in your stomach. If anyone asks, do not say a word. It will bring you no harm."

Ling Feng pursed his lips and spoke calmly.

"Yes. I understand!"

Mo Sanqing smiled awkwardly. At this point, he was completely convinced by Ling Feng. When he thought about how he had once tried to oppose Ling Feng at every turn, a chill ran through his heart.

If Ling Feng had not shown consideration for the two Manor Masters, he would probably have died hundreds of times already!

Thinking of this, Mo Sanqing quietly broke out in a cold sweat. In his heart, Ling Feng became someone he absolutely must never offend in this lifetime.

"

Mhm

."

Ling Feng glanced at Mo Sanqing and nodded slightly. He then went into the cave and woke Tuoba Yan. The three of them set out once more, heading toward the Dongling Immortal Pool.

The trials of the Demon Heaven Snow Ridge were not particularly difficult for Ling Feng. Reaching the Dongling Immortal Pool was only a matter of time.

...

Meanwhile.

Lin Mu and Ning Guichen's group arrived at the Dongling Immortal Pool through a teleportation array in the blink of an eye.

After returning to the Dongling Immortal Pool, Lin Mu bid farewell to Ning Guichen and returned to their respective branch halls.

Taking Yu Linglong with him, Lin Mu easily found his way back to the Earth Spirit Hall. He dismissed Yu Linglong and told her to rest. He then headed straight toward the most towering and majestic building within the Earth Spirit Hall's domain.

This was the residence of the Earth Spirit Hall's Hall Master. She was also his elder sister, Saint Lady Bi Luo.

Within the entire Earth Spirit Hall, only Lin Mu dared to barge into this place without permission.

"Sis! Sis! Are you there?"

As soon as he entered, Lin Mu shouted loudly. A beam of green light suddenly shot through the air and pinned him firmly in place.

In the next instant, Lin Mu felt his vision blur. He was dragged by the green light into a side hall. The person sitting cross legged in meditation ahead was none other than the Saint Lady Bi Luo.

Seated upon an embroidered cushion was a veiled woman, her figure graceful and alluring, her curves elegant rather than ostentatious. Clad in flowing white robes, she resembled a fairy descended from the heavens, her temperament lofty and pure, dignified and serene. She gave the impression of a celestial maiden who had wandered into the mortal world, untouched by even the faintest trace of worldly dust.

"Elder sis, do you really have to grab me like this every time?"

Lin Mu frowned and glared at the veiled woman. He snorted softly. "Do I not need to save face?"

𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"What face do you even have left in Dongling Immortal Pool?"

Saint Lady Bi Luo parted her red lips and spoke slowly. "This time, when I sent you down the mountain to recruit disciples, did you cause trouble again?"

"Sister, do you think so little of me? How could I cause trouble? I picked out a peerless genius for you!"

Lin Mu grinned as he walked behind the Saint Lady Bi Luo. He obediently began to massage her shoulders.

"Enough!"

Saint Lady Bi Luo shrugged and dodged his hands. She frowned slightly. "If you could behave yourself for two or three days, I would thank the gods."

"

Hehe

..."

Lin Mu bared his teeth in a smile and continued. "Sister, why do you not ask me about that peerless genius?"

"If I do not ask, would you stop talking?"

Saint Lady Bi Luo shot Lin Mu a look. "You are going to talk anyway, so why should I ask?"

"You really are my sister!"

Lin Mu sat down on the cushion beside her and pursed his lips. "It is that Ling Feng I told you about before. Brother Ling. He happened to make it this time. I already gave him a qualification token from our Earth Spirit Hall. Big sister, just arrange a powerful elder to take him as a disciple!"

"I think Elder Tai Xu would be perfect. He is the number one expert of our Earth Spirit Hall. His Three Yangs Prosperity divine skill is so formidable that even those old fellows from the Three Divine Halls dare not face him lightly!"

"If not him, then Elder Zuo Yan would also work. He may be rigid, but his abilities are solid."

"Or even better, sister, you could take him as your direct disciple. Then when he sees me in the future, he would be a generation lower and would have to call me senior uncle. Hahaha! That would be interesting!"

Lin Mu spoke at length. Saint Lady Bi Luo listened quietly without showing impatience. After he finished, she shook her head gently and spoke in an even tone.

"Xiao Mu, I cannot accept your friend into the Earth Spirit Hall."

"What?"

Lin Mu's eyelids twitched as he frowned deeply. "Sister, why?"

"Cannot means cannot."

Saint Lady Bi Luo's expression turned cold as frost. She spoke slowly. "If he agrees, you may let him enter through the outer sect and advance step by step through his own abilities. Once he reaches the inner sect, the doors of the Earth Spirit Hall will always be open to him. Of course, if he is unwilling, he may leave directly."
