Chapter 145: Consequences of Nurturing Such A Dangerous Individual!

Ling Feng and Su Hongxiu spent the night preparing a large quantity of Eight Treasure Jade Essence Ointment. The next day, they handed it over to the female disciples who had come seeking medicine.

Each of those female disciples were overflowing with gratitude, yet Ling Feng refused to accept any rewards, leaving them even more grateful.

Before, Ling Feng seemed cold and merciless from the rumors. Now, they realized that Ling Feng also had such a gentle side.

Meanwhile, Ling Feng noticed Su Hongxiu's progress in learning to prepare the Eight Treasure Jade Essence Ointment was quite fast. She handled the proportions of various medicinal herbs and ingredients quite well.

He decided that in his spare time, he would explain some medical principles to her. As for how much she could learn, that depended on her own destiny.

Over the course of a few days, Su Hongxiu truly mastered the teachings and could now independently prepare Eight Treasure Jade Essence Ointment. Meanwhile, Ling Feng's name as the creator of the Eight Treasure Jade Essence Ointment spread throughout the entire Wenxian Sect, known by almost everyone.

The love for beauty was a woman's nature, and almost all the female disciples couldn't help but want to get their hands on some Eight Treasure Jade Essence Ointment.

Ling Feng felt a bit overwhelmed for a moment. Naturally, he couldn't devote all his time to preparing medicine for these female disciples.

After entrusting this matter to Su Hongxiu and Jiang Wanqing to handle, he went up the mountain alone to practice the sword technique of Scorching Sky Blaze.

"Ever since Senior Uncle Ling Feng uprooted the Iron Blood Alliance, the atmosphere in our Wenxian Sect has completely changed. No one dares to be arrogant just because of their strength anymore!"

"Exactly! Now we won't have our hard-earned materials snatched away at low prices, and won't have to risk our lives hunting and gathering materials from demonic beasts."

"No one will take a portion of the pills distributed to us every month anymore."

"Also, Senior Uncle Ling Feng's Eight Treasure Jade Essence Ointment has healed the scars and injuries on our sisters' bodies. Even those without scars have seen their skin become smoother and fairer. We really adore Senior Uncle Ling Feng."

"Senior Uncle Ling Feng is simply the guardian deity of us disciples of the Wenxian Sect!"

"And Senior Uncle Ling Feng is so handsome. I envy Junior Sister Su from Yunxiu Peak for being able to accompany him..."

Most male disciples greatly admired Ling Feng's heroic demeanor, while female disciples were deeply grateful for his free medicine. Of course, there were also many infatuated young girls who had already regarded Ling Feng as their dream lover.

In short, whether male or female disciples, almost all the disciples of Wenxian Sect, spoke highly of Ling Feng.

Wherever one went, they could hear disciples discussing Ling Feng, almost treating him as the guardian deity of Wenxian Sect.

In the Wenxian Sect, perhaps one could be unaware of the sect leader's name, but everyone knew Ling Feng's name.

"Ling Feng, Ling Feng, it's always Ling Feng!"

Li Liang was summoned by the sect leader and on his way to the main peak, Liuxian Peak, wherever he went, he heard nothing but praise and admiration for Ling Feng from the disciples.

Li Liang had some faint worries in his heart.

If we followed the original plan and made a move against Ling Feng once he lost his usefulness, wouldn't all the disciples of the Wenxian Sect stand up in rebellion against the sect?

Before long, Li Liang stepped into the main hall and saw that inside the hall, Yang Wei and several other trusted followers of Lin Canglang had already gathered.

The expressions of these elders and peak leaders were all rather grim.

Ling Feng angrily executed Jing Wuxie, and subsequently had all the higher ups of the Iron Blood Alliance brought to their knees outside Luo Jianying's sickroom. Those former higher ups of the Iron Blood Alliance were almost all direct disciples of these peak leaders.

Their direct disciples had become the subject of ridicule, leaving these leaders visibly displeased and embarrassed.

Despite their high positions, they found it difficult to appease the anger of the masses and were hesitant to intervene personally to bring their disciples back.

For one, such actions would disappoint the lower-ranking disciples. Secondly, Ling Feng's strength had become somewhat extraordinary; despite them all being at the peak of the Pulse Formation Realm. Jing Wuxue, who was also at the peak of the Pulse Formation Realm, was slaughtered by Ling Feng like a pig.

Therefore, their brimming anger could only be lamented in front of the sect leader.

Lin Canglang's complexion became even more unsightly.

He had initially believed he had everything under control, but now, Ling Feng proved to be even more disobedient than he had imagined.

"Greetings, Sect Leader, and esteemed Peak Leaders." Li Liang respectfully bowed to everyone in the hall, and Lin Canglang nodded slightly, gesturing for him to take a seat.

After Li Liang took his seat, Yang Wei slammed the table in anger and exclaimed, "Sect Leader, I've been saying that kid is trouble. Look at the situation now. Every disciple, from the top to the bottom, has been swayed by him. In a few more days, he might just usurp the throne!"

"He doesn't dare!" Lin Canglang's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said coldly, "Based on his current abilities, he won't be able to overturn the heavens! As long as I'm the sect leader, I can easily suppress him with just one hand."

"I fear the consequences of nurturing such a dangerous individual."

Yang Wei let out a long sigh. From killing the disciples of his branch like Ren Yifei to Shitailong, and now to Jing Wuxie, the speed of Ling Feng's growth had been truly astounding.

"I know how to handle it." Lin Canglang rose slowly. "Even though that kid has won over some hearts, they are just insignificant ordinary disciples. At worst, we'll make an example out of him to scare the rest. How many of those disciples would dare to stand by his side then?"

"But, my top disciple from the Tianjian Peak is kneeling at the door of a newly admitted ordinary disciple. This... This is just unacceptable!"

"My top disciple from the Cangyun Peak is no exception either!"

"Enough, your disciples have indeed gone too far. It's understandable to give them a small punishment as a warning. My senior disciples have already met their demise but have I said anything?"

With a sweeping gesture of his sleeves, Lin Canglang stood with his hands behind his back, his expression stern. "However, Ling Feng indeed needs some reprimanding. Otherwise, he might forget who is really in charge here!"

"However..." Li Liang hastened to add, "Reporting to Sect Leader, ever since Ling Feng killed Jing Wuxie, it seems he's been staying put at the Little Bamboo Peak without any intention of coming out. Our people can't easily go to Little Bamboo Peak to find him either, or it might arouse suspicion from that old fellow Duanmu Qingshan. We might risk undoing everything we've achieved."

"

Hmph,

there's no rush for that." Lin Canglang sneered. "In another seven days, the one-month period will be up, and the Golden Silkworm Gu Poison should take effect. Ling Feng will naturally come looking for the antidote to the Golden Silkworm Gu Poison from me!"

With a malicious glint in his eyes, Lin Canglang gritted his teeth and declared, "This time, I'll ensure the Gold Silkworm Gu Poison torments him thoroughly for a few days. When he's begging for life but can't find it, when he wishes for death but can't have it, he will understand whose hands his life truly rests in."

"Exactly! Thankfully, we planted the Gold Silkworm Gu Poison in him that day. Once that poison takes effect, no matter how much of a genius or a monster he is, he'll turn into an obedient little dog!" Yang Wei burst into laughter.

The other peak leaders and elders exchanged a glance; it seemed that there was no other choice now.

In Li Liang's heart, there was a faint sense of unease. He didn't know why, but he felt that even the Golden Silkworm Gu Poison might not be able to control Ling Feng.

"Given the exceptional talent of that lad, that old geezer Duanmu will undoubtedly hold him in higher regard. I am certain that the Sword Scripture, concealed by the old geezer for over a decade, will soon be within my grasp."

With a cold sneer, Lin Canglang remarked, "Once the Sword Scripture is in my hands, I'll promptly dispose of that kid. Indeed, it's not advisable to let him continue to grow."

Lin Canglang was scheming to manipulate Ling Feng and his master, unaware that Ling Feng was also waiting for Duanmu Qingshan to emerge from seclusion.

It's time to settle the grudge that had been brewing for over a decade.
