Finally, Ling Du couldn't hold his breath any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood. Feeling utterly humiliated, he hastily took his leave.
Ji Fengming glanced at Ling Du's staggering departing figure and pouted:
I thought they were some tough opponent, but all they've got is their fighting strength, pshaw!
"Fengming, sit down, don't be silly." Seeing that the faces of the elders and the two ancestors were almost frozen, Hei Xiao quickly pulled Ji Fengming, who was wandering around the hall, back and pressed him to sit in the empty seat next to his own.
"Oh," Ji Fengming replied casually, showing a rather obedient attitude towards Hei Xiao, appearing quite well-behaved.
But when he met Zhao Guanchao's probing gaze, he immediately grinned wickedly and pouted.
Zhao Guanchao was so startled that he jumped up and quickly looked away, his heart pounding in his chest.
Oh my god, this monster is terrifying!
I can't afford to mess with this old man, I'm scared!
Having witnessed Ji Fengming's "combat prowess," the Fourth Ancestor Ling Feng and the Sixth Ancestor Ling Pei dared not utter a single word about him again.
The two occasionally asked questions, and after Hei Xiao briefly recounted his experience of coming from the mortal realm to the Danling Continent, they gained some understanding of the existence of Ji Fengming, Shang Xiye, and Ji Fengyao.
What's even more amazing is that when talking about Ji Fengyao, Hei Xiao specifically mentioned that she had refined the Soul-Returning Pill and had given it to Huang Daohong, the Grand Elder of the Biyue Sect, and Lan Tiankuo, the Grand Elder of the Lan Family, for free, which made the four elders drool with envy.
They knew that Ji Fengming was Ji Fengyao's older brother, and that Ji Fengyao was the next sect leader of the Dan Sect.
Both the Fourth Ancestor Ling Feng and the Sixth Ancestor Ling Pei valued Ji Fengming's existence even more.
Although their Hanyu Sect, like the Yin Sect, has always considered itself to be aloof and detached.
However, everyone in the mortal cultivation world wants to befriend the Dan Sect.
The reason is simple: the further a cultivator advances in their cultivation, the greater the help that elixirs can provide.
Take the Resurrection Pill, for example; it's practically like having a second life.
Even the most aloof cultivator cannot resist the temptation of having a second life!
The Rejuvenation Pill is just one of thousands of pills. There are many other heaven-defying pills, some of which are so rare that even a mere mention of them can cause many cultivators to fight tooth and nail for them.
Ling Du returned to his quiet room in a huff.
His last disciple, Zhou Zhengqiao, then came over to greet him: "Master, what's wrong? You don't look well. Have you been working too hard lately?"
Have you been working hard lately?
Upon hearing the words "toiled recently," Ling Du recalled Ji Fengming's words, "Aside from the snow-capped peaks here having a few more inches of snow than before, you probably don't have any other achievements." A tightness rose in his chest, and he coughed up blood again.
That guy's mouth is more poisonous than the most poisonous pill in the world; it's so sharp it cuts without drawing blood, and the kind of thing you can't even pull out the arrowhead from!
"Master, what's wrong..."
"Shut up!"
Zhou Zhengqiao was shocked and was about to ask why, but Ling Du sternly stopped him.
Ling Du narrowed his droopy eyes, squeezing out a chilling glint, and said, "Zheng Qiao, go down the mountain and do something for your master."
"Please give your instructions, Master. I will do my utmost to complete the task," Zhou Zhengqiao replied respectfully with his hands behind his back.
"Ling Qing has returned, bringing with him the news of the Pill Sect's reopening and Yun Yao's upcoming attempt to become a Pill Saint and succeed as the next Pill Sect Master. Since our Han Yu Sect has also reopened, we should also participate in such important events as the emergence of a new Pill Saint and the succession of a new Sect Master," Ling Du said, a sinister smile spreading across his lips.
