Ling Chen took a look and couldn't help but smile. "When we ambushed XiMen Qing and the Blood Slaughter Pavilion last time, we didn't find any trace of Ye BaiFei. This person's martial arts are not weak and his mental fortitude is firm. If we let him do as he pleases, we might not be able to predict his actions. Thus, when young master went to the Smoky Thea Tower to deal with XiMen Qing, I sent Ling Jian to the hiding place of the Blood Slaughter Pavilion to search for him. As expected, Ye BaiFei had yet to recover from his injuries after taking young master's attack head on. He was there to recuperate and had no guards by his side. Thus, without much resistance, he was captured by Ling Jian and the other two and is now being held in the Ling House."
Ling Chen had a deep sense of fear towards Ye BaiFei. Although she had defeated this person before, his martial arts were not inferior to Ling Jian's. Furthermore, he was ruthless and cruel, and would do anything by fair means or foul. He was truly a difficult enemy to deal with. This was especially so when the assassins of the Blood Slaughter Pavilion were wiped out under Ling Tian's plan. Ye BaiFei and the people behind him would definitely form an irreconcilable grudge. If Ye BaiFei was allowed to leave this place and hide in the shadows, he would be a huge threat to Ling Tian and the entire Ling family. Thus, for the first time in her life, Ling Chen issued such an order to the First Pavilion without Ling Tian's approval.
Ling Tian smiled and praised, "Well done, truly well done." After a moment of silence, he said, "This person is a rare assassin. It would be a pity to kill him so casually. Let me sound him out before dealing with him! "
With that said, Ling Tian looked through the other notes again and said, "Chen 'er, you and Yan' er go to the secret chamber in a while. You should take a Great Revitalizing Pill first. With your cultivation of the Divine Ice Formula, you should be able to absorb the Great Revitalizing Pill which is more of a fire attribute pill. After the pill has been digested, you should let Yan 'er take it. You should help her digest the overflowing pill and nurse her old illness. With the help of your Divine Ice Formula, you should be able to get twice the result with half the effort and not be in danger. Right, that Qian ShuiRou … "Ling Tian suddenly noticed the last few pieces of information about Qian ShuiRou. He couldn't help but be shocked.
"He left Sky Bearing this morning?" Ling Tian asked with a frown. "Which direction did he go?"
Ling Chen pondered for a moment before saying, "They should have left with the emissary group from the Northern Wei. If I'm not mistaken, they should have gone to the Northern Wei." After thinking for a while, she continued, "This is news from the disciples of the Violent Wind Empire. It hasn't even been four hours, so it shouldn't be wrong."
"Less than four hours." Ling Tian paced back and forth. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. Qian ShuiRou was obviously in cahoots with the Imperial Family of Sky Bearing. However, the Ling family was not aware of this matter and the Imperial Family should have concealed the news. Now, the Sky Bearing Empire and the Northern Wei were in an extremely sensitive period and a war could break out at any moment. For Qian ShuiRou and the others to actually be in cahoots with the emissary group from the Northern Wei, this made Ling Tian feel even more uncomfortable and an unprecedented sense of danger arose.
"Chen 'er, watch Yan' er take the Great Revitalizing Pill and close all the traps in the secret chamber. Don't come out first and make sure that everything is done before the secret chamber can be reopened. I'll secretly catch up to see what's going on. Mmm, you can inform Ling Jian first and ask him to catch up. "Ling Tian said as he walked out. By the time he finished speaking, he had already disappeared from the room.
Outside the courtyard, the neighing of a horse could be heard and the sound of hooves could be heard.
From Ling Tian's reaction, Ling Chen could tell that something was amiss. She did not dare to delay and immediately sent a message to Ling Jian.
After testing the pill in the secret chamber, Ling Tian could acutely feel that the Great Revitalizing Pill not only had the effect of increasing one's cultivation, but its effects were also extremely great. From the density of his inner qi, Ling Tian could feel that his inner qi had increased by a lot. Furthermore, some of the more powerful moves that he had to use in the past were extremely strenuous. But now, he was able to use them as he wished. The only pity was that while the Great Revitalizing Pill could increase the amount of inner qi in his body, it could not increase his cultivation! The density of his inner qi had indeed increased, but his cultivation still needed to be improved through battle after battle. Only then would he be able to make another breakthrough in his Divine Shocking Dragon Art.
Inside the secret chamber, Ling Tian had not successfully broken through to the tenth layer of the Divine Shocking Dragon Art. In fact, he did not have the extravagant hope of reaching the tenth layer. The difficulty of the last three layers of the Divine Shocking Dragon Art was that each layer required twice the amount of effort compared to the previous nine layers! The impact on several acupuncture points was like falling into hell. Ling Tian's breakthrough this time was because the Great Revitalizing Pill's medicinal effect was too strong. He had no choice but to do so. His own inner qi and the already digested inner qi were incompatible with the undigested inner qi in his meridians. Ling Tian did not want to waste the undigested inner qi. Thus, he could only use the breakthrough to force them to merge into one.
Ling Tian's original Divine Shocking Dragon Art and the already digested portion of the medicinal effect were like an extension of his arm. However, the rest of the medicinal effect of the Great Revitalizing Pill was like a piece of unpolished jade that had not been polished. His entire body was filled with fiery edges and corners. The process of breaking through was extremely painful. It was as if his body was being burned by fire. It was a necessary method to smooth out the edges and corners of the Great Revitalizing Pill's medicinal effect.
As expected, after the cruel process of breaking through, the undigested medicinal effect was finally converted into pure inner qi. It truly merged with Ling Tian's inner qi. However, Ling Tian who had just tasted the bitterness of breaking through the tenth gate was already in so much pain that he wished he was dead …
Even with Ling Tian's current cultivation, he was still unable to digest all of the medicinal effect of the Great Revitalizing Pill. Thus, how could he dare to let Ling Chen and Yu BingYan take the Great Revitalizing Pill? This was because of the principle of mutual promotion and mutual restraint in martial arts.
The main ingredients for the Great Revitalizing Pill this time were the Thousand Year Blood Ginseng and the Ice Crystal Fire Lotus. The Ice Crystal Fire Lotus was a mixture of ice and fire, slightly leaning towards the cold attribute, while the Thousand Year Blood Ginseng was a treasure of extreme fire and Yang. Therefore, although the Great Revitalizing Pill obtained this time was far superior to the ordinary Great Revitalizing Pill, its attribute was also leaning towards the Yang attribute. If ordinary people consumed it, they would definitely be tortured to death by the extreme Yang fire. Just like Ling Tian, if he wanted to absorb all of the medicinal effect into his body, he would have to go through the process of being burned by the extreme yang energy! Thus, although the Great Revitalizing Pill this time was of the highest grade, Ling Jian, Ling Chi, and the rest would definitely be tormented to the extreme when they took it.
However, everything in the world had a nemesis. This Great Revitalizing Pill was the best tonic for those who cultivated the Xiantian Extreme Cold. Taking Ling Chen as an example, the Divine Ice Formula that she cultivated could completely eliminate the extreme yang energy of the Great Revitalizing Pill. In fact, she could even make use of the extreme yang energy to further purify her Divine Ice Formula. Thus, just based on the benefits of the Great Revitalizing Pill alone, Ling Chen was the best among all of them. In fact, she was even better than Ling Tian.
The reason why Ling Tian left in such a hurry was because he wanted to chase after Qian ShuiRou. Secondly, he wanted to let Ling Chen face the extreme yang energy of the Great Revitalizing Pill alone and purify her own Extreme Cold Inner Qi! If she could rely on her own willpower to overcome this hurdle, she would be able to obtain the greatest benefits! If Ling Tian was by her side and saw Ling Chen in pain, he would definitely not be able to hold himself back and lend a helping hand. However, that would not only be of no benefit to Ling Chen's cultivation, it would even be detrimental to Ling Chen's cultivation. If something went wrong, Ling Chen's cultivation would never be able to improve again!
Using medicine to forcefully raise one's cultivation was originally a heaven-defying act! If she had the help of an outsider, it would be too easy for her to obtain inner qi. And if she obtained inner qi too easily, it would definitely hinder Ling Chen's cultivation! If that was the case, although her cultivation would increase by twenty years, her cultivation would remain stagnant. The gains would not make up for the losses!
Her Divine Black Negative Meridians had already neutralized the effects of the Great Revitalizing Pill. She did not have to rely on it to increase her cultivation. Instead, she was purely using the medicinal effects to nourish her own cultivation. She would be able to enjoy the fruits of others' labor. Furthermore, she had Ling Chen by her side to protect her. There would be no mistakes. Thus, Ling Tian was not worried in the slightest.
Ling Tian exited the north gate and galloped away on his horse! The scenery on both sides of him receded rapidly and was quickly left behind by him.
In his heart, there was a frightening thought, as though something frightening was about to happen. However, he was unable to grasp it and did not have a single clue. If he was unable to find Qian ShuiRou and clarify things, Ling Tian would never be able to be at ease.
The Northern Wei and Sky Bearing were not far apart and were only a thousand miles apart. Even from the capital of the Northern Wei to Sky Bearing, it was only a thousand and three hundred miles. If they were to travel on a fast horse, they would be able to reach Sky Bearing in a day or two. Ling Tian was afraid that Qian ShuiRou would abandon the rest of the troops and speed up with her guards. Thus, he spared no effort in his pursuit.
In front of them was a small hill and behind the hill was a Black Pine Forest that stretched for tens of miles. After crossing the Black Pine Forest for a hundred miles, they would be at the border of Sky Bearing. Ling Xiao's army was stationed in this area.
In the distance, there seemed to be a large flock of birds flying up from the Black Pine Forest. With sharp cries, they flapped their wings and flew into the distance.
There was actually an ambush here? Ling Tian let out a cold laugh and spurred his horse into the forest. The moment he entered the Black Pine Forest, he even whipped his horse viciously. At the same time, his body floated down from the horse. The horse let out a long neigh and galloped into the forest.
Ling Tian's lips curled into a cruel smile. Hehe, to think that there would be an ambush along the way. If that's not a scheme, what else could it be? However, if you want to ambush this young noble, you have to be from the 21st century! If not, there is no hope! Do you think that you are at the level of that green-dressed man?
Forget it, this young noble will let you see what a real ambush is! What a real assassination is! In this young noble's eyes, your little bit of cultivation is not even enough!
Ling Tian raised his head and looked at the sky. Then, he looked at the dense forest path. With a turn of his body, he had already taken off his white robe and flipped it over to reveal a navy blue robe underneath. Draping it over his body, his entire being seemed to have melded into the Black Pine Forest in an instant, transforming into an ordinary pine tree, or perhaps a patch of shadow under the sunlight that occasionally penetrated through the forest … (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.qidian.com to read more chapters.
