In a daze, Lin Feng regained consciousness once more.
Due to the severe depletion of his vital energy and blood, he couldn’t even open his eyes, only silently feeling the state of his body.
“Thump, thump…”
The heartbeat was still there, and he could feel the vital energy slowly recovering, which meant his cultivation had been unsealed, and the oppressive feeling of the Zijun Blood Soil had completely disappeared.
This made Lin Feng breathe a sigh of relief.
Surviving such a desperate situation, he believed he must have been saved by someone.
Truly worthy of being the Son of Destiny!
He also reminded himself that he must return to the Lower Domain immediately.
Just because destiny saved him this time didn’t mean it would always do so.
Moreover, he really didn’t want to experience that feeling of being enveloped by death again.“Old Man Tianji?” Lin Feng called out in his mind.
The response was silence.
“Indeed, he has fallen into a deep sleep…” Lin Feng felt disheartened.
But he quickly rallied and began to operate the Seven Purifications Annihilation Technique.
Using the technique, he rapidly absorbed spiritual energy, which was refined by his Core Formation into vital energy, continuously replenishing his nearly depleted blood and vital energy.
Suddenly, Lin Feng felt a warmth in his lower abdomen. He senses medicinal power!
Spurred by his vital energy, this medicinal power traveled through his blood vessels, speeding up his absorption of Spirit Induction energy while healing his injuries!
“Is this… a fifth-grade vital energy pill?” Lin Feng was ecstatic.
He instantly understood.
This vital energy pill must have been fed to him by someone while he was unconscious! His benefactor is treating the injuries inside his body!
Lin Feng was almost moved to tears.
Since arriving in the Central Domain, he had been buried alive twice, chased by two madmen over and over, and nearly scared to death by Jiang Chen.
Only now did he feel what it meant to have ‘true compassion in the world’!
“I must repay this kindness! If one day I ascend and rule over the world, I will issue an imperial decree to protect this benefactor’s descendants for ten thousand generations!” Lin Feng resolved in his heart.
With this thought, he sped up his cultivation.
Although he had encountered many dangers, they were not entirely bad.
The repeated life-and-death battles had activated his body’s potential, and his understanding of the Way of the Saber had also improved.
This was an opportunity for a breakthrough!
The Seven Purifications Annihilation Technique operated once again, and this time Lin Feng didn’t use vital energy to heal his injuries but instead compressed and condensed the refined vital energy, intending to use purer vital energy to expand his Core Formation within his body.
“Boom!”
With a surge of energy, his Core Formation visibly expanded.
At this moment, his cultivation broke through from the mid-stage to the late-stage of Core Formation.
“Hmph, with my talent and techniques, I could easily survive in the Lower Domain for a decade or so, then come back and wash away these humiliations!” Lin Feng sneered to himself.
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.
“Qingning, Lin Feng is awake, and it seems he’s even made a breakthrough!”
Qingning?!
Lin Feng was jolted with fear at the sound of this name!
Jiang Chen, Lin Mubai, and Jiang Lianyue, though they had scared him badly too, the one who truly pushed him to the brink was the seemingly harmless Qingning! And it was twice!
And this voice… why did it sound so much like that silly tiger?!
Lin Feng suddenly had a bad feeling and hurriedly opened his eyes.
What he saw were five heads.
Jiang Chen, Lin Mubai, Jiang Lianyue, Qingning, and a huge tiger head!
And they were all looking at him with fierce and evil expressions!
“…I must be dreaming.”
Lin Feng closed his eyes again.
He didn’t believe it, or rather, he did not want to believe it.
Having just escaped death, how could he have fallen into the hands of those who wanted to kill him again?
And this time, all of them were together!
If this was reality, wasn’t it just playing with his life?
After comforting himself, Lin Feng opened his eyes again.
The five familiar heads were still there, but something was different.
Lin Mubai had picked up a machete.
Jiang Lianyue had drawn her sword.
Qingning and Xiaobai had already started pouring soil from their spirit rings.
And Jiang Chen…
“Junior Brother Lin, although it was the master’s command, I gave you a vital energy pill to treat your injuries. That’s like giving you a new lease on life! From now on, when you see me, just call me Father, okay?” Jiang Chen said with a wicked smile.
“…”
Lin Feng’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
He quickly looked around and realized he was actually on Jiang Chen’s spirit boat!
Why?
Why was he here?
Even Jiang Chen hadn’t expected such a scene a few moments ago.
He was also dumbfounded when Li Fadu arrived with Qingning and Lin Feng.
After learning everything from Qingning, Jiang Chen understood.
Li Fadu’s appearance must have triggered Lin Feng’s “Son of Destiny” aura, and it seemed that the heavens also wanted the plot to return to its course, which is why Lin Feng was brought here.
Jiang Chen felt a bit wistful about this.
He had tried so hard, but he couldn’t get Lin Feng to go to Jiuyan Sect to become a disciple.
In the end, it was the heavens that lent him a helping hand, bringing back his tool for ascension.
“I’ll fight all of you!!” Lin Feng suddenly shouted.
But as soon as he finished speaking.
“Ughh—”
His stomach growled, and he instantly felt a gut-wrenching pain while sweating profusely from the agony!
“You can’t blame me for this. Qingning insisted on wrapping that pill with a layer of Zijun Blood Soil, and I couldn’t stop her,” Jiang Chen said helplessly while spreading his hands.
Hearing this, Qingning giggled and raised her hand, looking like she was admitting to the deed.
Lin Feng was filled with hatred!
Zijun Blood Soil was heavy as a mountain, and if a cultivator ingested it, it would be difficult to expel in a short time, and it was known to cause excruciating pain!
These people in front of him clearly wanted to torture him to death!
At this moment, with Old Man Tianji in a deep sleep and only a small part of his injuries healed, Lin Feng was not able to fight at full strength and did not even have the room to struggle.
In despair, Lin Feng simply closed his eyes and said, “…Just give me a quick end!”
He didn’t really want to die. He just wanted to gamble on destiny once more.
Although Old Man Tianji had repeatedly warned him never to do so, he had no other choice at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lianyue, Lin Mubai, and Qingning all sneered in disdain.
Son of Destiny? Can’t bear this?
Jiang Chen had gone through nine cycles of reincarnation, enduring countless times more suffering, yet had never acted like this!
Then, the three of them felt a bit tempted. After all, Xiao Hongyi and Li Fadu were talking in the distance, and this was indeed an opportunity to kill Lin Feng.
Although they also knew that Lin Feng was not easy to kill.
As long as the latter’s destiny and luck were still intact, whoever acted against him would surely attract an equal or even stronger opponent at the moment of the attack.
But they had to try! How else to deplete Lin Feng’s luck without trying?
Just as the three were showing a fierce light, ready to take a chance.
“Want to die? It’s not that easy!” Jiang Chen suddenly spoke.
With that, he activated his vital energy and stomped on Lin Feng’s chest.
The vital energy contained in this stomp was immense, instantly breaking several of Lin Feng’s ribs and causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Lin Feng was about to fight for his life again while enduring the pain, but then he heard Jiang Chen say,
“I just saved your life again from these people, so from now on, you should call me grandpa when you see me.”
“…Pfft!”
After spitting out another mouthful of blood, Lin Feng once again fell into unconsciousness.
At that moment, Xiao Hongyi approached with a grave expression on her face.
With her level of cultivation, she naturally sensed the commotion caused by Jiang Chen and the others, but Li Fadu’s shocking words had momentarily stunned her.
Glancing at the grievously injured Lin Feng, Xiao Hongyi took Jiang Chen aside and asked softly, “Who inflicted such wounds on Lin Feng?”
“Lin Mubai slashed him with a knife, and Jiang Lianyue stabbed him with a sword,” Jiang Chen replied instantly.
“…Why would Mubai and Lianyue do such a thing?” Xiao Hongyi was astonished.
“Second Junior Brother said Lin Feng’s birth chart clashes with his, and Fifth Junior Sister said Lin Feng is too ugly.”
Xiao Hongyi raised her hand to her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
Although according to intelligence, the reason Jiang Chen destroyed that Lingshan Town seemed to be because Lin Feng had harmed his follower.
When Li Fadu brought Lin Feng back, she could clearly sense Jiang Chen’s excitement and relief!
This showed that her eldest disciple still had some sense of measure!
But as for the others…
