The moment Yu ManLou's gaze swept over, HuangFu YanHan felt his entire body turn cold. It was as though even his blood vessels had turned sluggish. With great difficulty, he raised his cultivation and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "It is good for Lord Tamago to say so. HuangFu YanHan will wait and see. If the truth is revealed, I will definitely give Lord Tamago an explanation!"
Shui ManKong chuckled and tried to smooth things over, "Since brother Yu has said so, then let us investigate this matter properly. Let's see who was the one who ate the guts of a leopard to offend all four of our families! Since brother Yu has come from afar, this little brother has already prepared a place for you to stay. I will lead brother Yu there to rest. "
As he said that, he gestured with his hands.
Yu ManLou chuckled and walked away.
As HuangFu YanHan and Song TianQiao saw Yu ManLou walking towards them, they could not help but feel a sense of inferiority. They did not dare to stop him and could only watch as Yu ManLou walked past them without saying a single word.
Behind Yu ManLou, the troops from Tamago disembarked from the ship and followed closely behind him. When they passed by the two Family Heads, they would glare at them coldly. If looks could kill, the two Family Heads would have already been smashed into smithereens!
A beautiful girl dressed in white appeared on the deck. She walked down slowly with a calm gait. Her skirt fluttered in the wind. She looked like a fairy who had just come from the sea. She didn't have the slightest bit of aura. It was Yu BingYan!
Behind Yu BingYan, there were two black-robed warriors from Tamago following by her left and right. On both sides, there was a group of white-robed warriors. Their expressions were solemn and they were all tall and straight. Their white robes were a stark contrast to the black robes of Tamago.
There weren't many people in these two groups. Each group only had thirty or so people, but those with keen eyes only needed to take a closer look to see that these white robed people were crisscrossing around Yu BingYan. Although they didn't seem to be in any particular order, they were actually guarding Yu BingYan's front, back, left, right, above, below, in every direction.
With these people by her side, even if the Shui Family or Justice were to come personally, Yu BingYan would still be safe for a short period of time!
The auras of the sixty people from the two groups were closely linked together and they could not be separated at all.
When Shui ManKong turned around, he was given a fright by these sixty people! When did such a large group of young experts appear in Tamago? Furthermore, they were all not weak and seemed to be experts in teamwork. If these people were to participate in the battle between the two families, his side would definitely suffer heavy losses!
However, what he did not notice was that when the four of them heard Yu ManLou's conversation with the members of the Shui, HuangFu, and Song Families about the Sky Alliance, a glimmer of light flashed past the depths of their eyes. It was as if they were laughing, looking at them with disdain, looking at them with pride … All sorts of emotions flashed past their faces, and they returned to their usual cold and expressionless faces.
The most famous assassins of the First Pavilion were all gathered in Heavenly Wind. Who knew what kind of storm would be stirred up?
"Tamago has arrived in Heavenly Wind. Feng, Yun, Lei, and Dian have arrived with 56 guards and are currently residing in the Shui Family's guest courtyard. Furthermore, the Song and HuangFu Families have already determined that the kidnapping was done by Tamago. There was a small conflict at the docks and the Song and HuangFu Family Heads did not dare to act rashly due to Yu ManLou's prestige. However, the grudges between the two families are even deeper … "
Looking at the shocking news on the slip of paper, Ling Tian could not help but be dumbfounded for a moment before bursting into laughter. Being at the peak of Mount Vacant, Ling Tian naturally could not laugh out loud. However, this news was far too funny and Ling Tian was laughing so hard that his stomach was cramping up …
Only the heavens knew what the HuangFu and Song Families were thinking. To think that they would pin this matter on Tamago! Such a wild imagination was truly something that Ling Tian could not help but admire. In any case, Ling Tian was completely unable to figure out what was going on!
However, after calming himself down and thinking about it, Ling Tian realized that it was more logical to pin this matter on Tamago than anyone else. At the very least, it was more logical than others, such as Ling Tian. Regardless of the timing or the rewards of this matter, if Tamago was the one who did it, it would be a huge accomplishment. At this moment, even if someone were to explain to the Song and HuangFu Families that this matter was not instigated by Tamago and not by Yu ManLou and was instead done by Ling Tian, the two of them would probably not believe it and would even ask who Ling Tian was!
Ling Tian could already imagine the depressed expression on Yu ManLou's face when he became the scapegoat for him. He could also imagine the black lines on Yu ManLou's face right now … Ling Tian could not help but feel elated at the thought of it. The HuangFu and Song Families, the number two and three families in Heavenly Wind Continent, were truly too interesting and talented. Ling Tian really wished that he could give the two family heads a big kiss on the face to express his gratitude.
After laughing, Ling Tian began to consider whether he could use the two families' misjudgment to create some 'interesting' trouble for Tamago.
After a round of serious consideration, Ling Tian finally decided that it would be best to maintain the status quo for the time being. After all, Yu ManLou wasn't one of the two Family Heads who were full of imagination. While the two Family Heads might not know who Ling Tian was, Yu ManLou was extremely clear that his greatest enemy wasn't the HuangFu or Song Families, or even the Shui Family. Instead, it was Ling Tian, or rather, the entire Ling Family. The reason why he didn't think of Ling Tian was because Ling Tian didn't plan to involve the Yu Family from the start. It was only the two Family Heads who forcefully dragged Yu ManLou into this matter. However, the moment Yu ManLou guessed that the Sky Alliance was actually under Yu ManLou, this old fellow would definitely stir up a huge commotion. He might even join forces with the four Family Heads to deal with Yu ManLou. Not to mention the fact that it was impossible for Yu ManLou to stay in the Heavenly Wind Continent for a long period of time, the strength and intelligence of the Heavenly Wind Continent was far inferior to that of the Heavenly Star Continent. If Yu ManLou were to ambush him, it would be too late even if he wanted to call for reinforcements.
Of course, he could also try to wipe out all the Tamago people in Heavenly Wind Continent. However, the people that came from Tamago this time were all top-notch experts. Furthermore, there were many of them. After weighing the pros and cons, Ling Tian did not have much of a chance of success. Furthermore, the people from Beyond Heavens were also present. They might not sit idly by and do nothing. After all, the way he handled this matter was indeed shady. Thus, after pondering for a long time, Ling Tian finally managed to resist this huge temptation. After all, this matter was like walking on a tightrope. A single mistake would cause the entire situation to turn upside down.
Since he had already created such a confusing effect, and it was extremely beneficial to him, it was already ideal for him to maintain the status quo …
Since Tamago was here, then BingYan should be here as well. Ling Tian suddenly felt a sense of warmth in his heart. Yu BingYan's beautiful figure suddenly filled his heart. Towards this girl who looked weak on the outside but had an exceptionally strong heart, Ling Tian truly had an indescribable fondness for her. She was a girl who was even weaker than a normal person, and had fought against her illness for 17 years! Furthermore, she was always considerate of others. Such a girl was extremely rare. If it was any other person, they would have probably lost their mind after such a long period of suffering. Even if they didn't go crazy, they would definitely go crazy! However, Yu BingYan had endured through it all! Seventeen years of torture, facing the shadow of death, but her heart did not change at all. She was still like a pure white lily, fragrant and charming!
In front of Ling Tian, Yu BingYan had never fought for his favor and would always go along with his wishes. She trusted him and would never go against his wishes, even in bed. While she was embarrassed to the point where she wanted to crawl into a hole to hide her face, she would still follow Ling Tian's instructions and do some embarrassing actions …
In one's life, to have such a wife, what regrets could a husband have?
Yu BingYan's character was extremely similar to Ling Chen in many aspects. This was also the reason why Ling Tian was especially concerned about her. That was why, other than Ling Chen, the first woman he wanted was Yu BingYan.
Perhaps I should find a chance to visit this lass. Ling Tian thought to himself.
With the arrival of Tamago, the security around the East and West peaks of Mount Vacant had indeed loosened by a lot. The Shui Family's main focus was placed on the Middle Peak, and the entire Middle Peak was like an impenetrable fortress. This made it even more convenient for Ling Tian to search for treasures. He could sneak in in broad daylight without anyone noticing.
Sitting on the branch of a pine tree, Ling Tian furrowed his brows in deep thought. In these few days, he had already searched the entire East Peak multiple times. He had even gone up and down the thousands of feet cliff three times, but he still hadn't found anything. This made Ling Tian feel somewhat helpless. Actually, this wasn't surprising. If it was really that easy to find, the Yu and Shui Families would have found it long ago.
The East of Vacant, the essence of Heaven and Earth; the sharpness of Heaven and Earth, unrivaled! What did this mean?
If the essence of Heaven and Earth was understood as the essence of Heaven and Earth … Suddenly, Ling Tian's body trembled! A look of enlightenment flashed across his eyes.
Essence of Heaven and Earth? What was the essence of Heaven and Earth?
Ling Tian's thoughts quickly sank into his mind, and he searched through the memories of his previous life, trying to extract any useful information. The Essence of Heaven and Earth, as the name implied, was something that was naturally formed by absorbing the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth. Spiritual items like the Lingzhi Mushroom and Vermillion Fruit could only be said to be spiritual fruits formed by absorbing the Essence of Heaven and Earth, but could not be directly said to be the Essence of Heaven and Earth.
The essence of Heaven and Earth was formed by the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. That was the true essence of Heaven and Earth!
"I know how to find it! All the areas where the essence of Heaven and Earth exists, which is the so-called place with the most Spiritual Qi, the plants that grow on the ground in such places should generally be stronger than those in other places. Furthermore, it is not easy for them to fall sick and wither. Also, in such places, the so-called Spiritual Medicine would definitely be more abundant! "
Ling Tian only felt that his heart was suddenly enlightened. As long as he could find such a place, he would be closer to the answer to the riddle. When the time came, he would narrow the scope to a certain area. Based on his cultivation, it should not be difficult to find this secret!
After thinking through this point, Ling Tian's entire body relaxed.
Ling Tian did as he said, and swept out like the wind. His eyes were fixed on all the plants on the mountain, and he did not miss a single one of them. He wanted to find out which place had the most lush plants, and which place was different from other places. Only in such places, could there be the existence of the essence of Heaven and Earth that Ling Tian could not find!
At this moment, Ling Tian's Qinggong could be said to have reached perfection. At full speed, he was like a cool breeze. In an extremely short period of time, he had already patrolled half of the mountain peak. Unknowingly, he came to the side of a cliff that was emitting white fog. This place was also the highest point in the entire East Peak. This cliff was hundreds of feet deep. Ling Tian had already visited this cliff more than once in the past few days. It could be said that he was a frequent visitor. However, he did not find anything strange. Of course, this time was no exception. After a careful inspection, he still did not find anything different from other places.
Sighing in disappointment, Ling Tian turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, just as he turned around, Ling Tian suddenly discovered something! Something very strange!
On the smooth cliff opposite the cliff, under the white fog, there seemed to be a clump of something growing. It was blurry, like a ball of grey shadow. Other than this place, Ling Tian's vision could see that the other places were bare. There was nothing.
In the previous few times that Ling Tian searched the area, he was able to search for caves or other places where he could hide something. Thus, he was naturally not interested in such a slippery stone wall. However, at this moment, it was as though he had discovered a new continent.
Ling Tian's spirit was aroused. He estimated the distance with his eyes. It was about three hundred feet. Even with Ling Tian's Qinggong, it was impossible to jump across in one go. Helplessly sighing, Ling Tian quickly jumped and left. Since he could not directly cross, he could only take a detour.
After taking a big detour, he finally arrived at the opposite cliff. Ling Tian bent over to look. He saw that twenty feet away from the top of the cliff, there was a ball of dark green and small leaves fluttering in the wind. It was like a willow leaf, but there were vines that willow leaves did not have. It was thin and wrapped around the stone.
Ling Tian tightened his belt and jumped down without hesitation. His body was like a huge gecko, sliding down the smooth cliff.
This was the best Gecko Wall Climbing Technique! Such a smooth cliff was not done by Ling Tian himself. It was impossible for an ordinary person to "swim" down!
Below his feet was the ball of dark green leaves. Under the bright morning light, it was sparkling and translucent. Ling Tian's body trembled as he gathered all of his inner qi in his right hand, grabbing onto the stone wall that was as smooth as ice. A series of rustling sounds could be heard as fine stone foam fell off. Ling Tian's five fingers had already pierced into the stone wall and his entire body was suspended in mid-air.
He cried out in his heart, "That was close!" The hardness of the cliff was beyond Ling Tian's imagination. He originally thought that his entire right hand would be inserted into the cliff. He did not expect that only five fingers would be able to make five holes! If he used less strength, he was afraid that he would be sitting on the slide down. The biggest taboo of the Gecko Wall Climbing Technique was to suddenly stop midway. However, this was a tough cliff. If he was not careful and fell down, even with Ling Tian's martial arts, it would be difficult for him to survive. Even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured.
Calming his mind, Ling Tian flipped his left hand. The Heaven Splitter was unsheathed. With a swoosh, it was inserted into the cliff below his feet. The hardness of the cliff was beyond his expectations. However, it was difficult for it to withstand the peerless sharpness of the Heaven Splitter. However, if it was not for this kind of peerless divine weapon, it might not be able to do anything to such a hard cliff. Ling Tian flipped his hand and the sharp edge of the sword made a large circle on the unusually hard cliff.
The Heaven Splitter returned to its scabbard. His left hand condensed 100% of his Yin Qi and slammed it onto the cliff that the Heaven Splitter had created. Ling Tian waved his left hand and a gentle gust of wind blew out. Flying stone fragments filled the air and a three chi deep hole appeared on the cliff below his feet.
Since he was in the territory of the Shui Family, Ling Tian did not dare to create too much of a commotion. If he really provoked the Shui Family, it might not be difficult for him to escape. However, the treasures that he found would benefit the Shui Family. Why would Ling Tian do such a foolish thing? Thus, no matter what he did now, he would not make any noise. As for the Yin Qi, it was the most effective method in this kind of situation!
After repeating the same process three times, Ling Tian had already created a cave that was big enough for him to hide in. Shrinking his body, he pulled his right hand out of the cliff and entered the cave.
The dark green leaf was right in front of his eyes. Now, it was covered with stone fragments. Ling Tian reached out his hand and pulled it over. Wiping it off casually, he took a closer look and suddenly cried out in shock, "Sealwort?! How could such a thing grow on such a hard cliff? "
One had to know that Sealwort was something that grew on mountains and was not rare. Most of them grew in the crevices of rocks or under rocks. However, Ling Tian did not expect that Sealwort would be able to grow in such a place where the hardness of the rocks was comparable to that of metal. He could not help but be shocked.
Following the vine, Ling Tian discovered that there was a thin crack at the base of the cliff. Ling Tian could not help but be interested. The cliff was so hard, but Sealwort was actually able to grow out of it. Moreover, such a smooth and sunken cliff had probably not been discovered by anyone for thousands of years. So, this Sealwort should be quite old, right? It was not an exaggeration to say that it was at least a thousand years old. Such a thing was a magical medicine that could only be found by chance! Even if he did not gain anything else on this trip, it was already worth it!
Generally, Sealwort that had grown for three to five years could only be regarded as the most common Chinese medicine adjuvant. Moreover, it tasted bitter, like chewing wax. However, once Sealwort grew for more than a hundred years, its surface would turn pale yellow, and the meat inside would become extremely sweet. As for Sealwort that had grown for more than a thousand years, it was a magical medicine. Even though Ling Tian had two lifetimes of experience, he still had no chance to see it.
Ling Tian pulled out the Sky Cracking Sword again and carefully cut off the cliff around the Sealwort one by one. Then, he put it in his own cave, used his strength to smash it into powder, and threw it out. Silently, Ling Tian had dug a long tunnel along the Sealwort. The exposed Sealwort was as thick as a forearm, four or five feet long, and divided into several sections. Obviously, there were more sections inside, but Ling Tian's sword was not long enough.
With a snap, Ling Tian directly broke the Sealwort and returned to the cave. After a visual inspection, he started to dig in the cave again.
