Chapter 303: Coming at a Bad Time… (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Unknowingly, it was already late at night.
The 2fooo soldiers in the col crossed through it and arrived at the Hidden Dragon Cave. Standing at an elevated height, they could vaguely see the flames in the depths of the mountains.
On a nameless mountain ridge, a cave was lit up with dim yellow light. Pei Xiang] un was patrolling back and forth outside the cave with her spear. Occasionally, she would take out her monocular and observe the mountains in the distance.
Luo Ning was standing at the entrance of the cave with her arms crossed, carefully observing Ye Jingtang’s complexion.
Ye Jingtang was sitting cross-legged on the ground and meditating with his eyes closed. He hadn’t moved for two hours. His upper body had turned light red, and wisps of white mist appeared on his forehead. The entire cave was a little hot.
Although the qi and blood in his body were surging so much so that his blood vessels were bulging a little, the effect of the Snow Lake Flower protecting his meridians was quire remarkable. His meridians were opened by the surging qi, and the fine cracks that appeared were healed in the blink of an eye. He couldn’t even feel any pain, and the dark red mark on his back had recovered to normal.
As the meridians in his entire body were unblocked, expanded, and consolidated, the feeling Ye Jingtang felt was more and more special. The meridians around his torso and spine were originally connected, but there was something blocking them. As his meridians gradually stabilized, when they reached a certain critical point, it felt as if his qi had passed through gaps, lie suddenly felt enlightened, and his senses and entire body seemed clearer.
Ye Jingtang felt that he had probably opened up all the meridians in his body. Putting everything else aside, just his hearing had improved significantly. He had a feeling that he was using the method of the Heaven Equaling Saber at all times. He could even hear the birds and chickadees chattering in the forest outside the cave clearly.
However, there was obviously a problem. Ye Jingtang could clearly feel that the vigorous qi and blood in his body had nowhere to vent, and his body felt a little uncomfortable from holding it in. He felt an inexplicable heat from the inside out and wanted to find someone to have a good time with. Women were the best, and men were fine too…
Whoosh!
Inside the cave, there was a faint hot breeze. Ye Jingtang’s long hair fluttered slightly, and his entire body was abnormally calm.
Luo Ning didn’t know how Ye Jingtang actually felt. She only felt that his body hadn’t moved, but his aura had undergone earth-shaking changes.
It was as if a sitting person had suddenly turned into a stone without any ripples. He didn’t reveal any sharpness, but he gave off an invisible pressure. This feeling…
Its a little similar to when Baijin meditates… Luo Ning blinked. Just as she was carefully observing Ye Jingtang’s complexion, she suddenly heard a voice from afar.
“Coo-coo-”
Luo Ning’s eyes narrowed slightly. She recognized that it was the bird, who was guarding the forest. It had discovered a suspicious target approaching. Judging from the sound, the target was 250 meters north.
Luo Ning didn’t look in the direction of the target. Instead, she glanced at Pei Xiang]un, who was not far away.
Pei Xiang]un also heard the bird’s signal. She turned around quietly and returned to the cave entrance. From the corner of her eye, she looked at the details in the forest. After carefully checking for a long time, she didn’t find any abnormal movements in the forest.
Realizing that the opponent’s martial arts skills were unfathomable, Pei Xiang]un didn’t rashly alert the enemy. She only stood guard outside the cave with Luo Ning to give Ye Jingtang time to adjust his breathing…
This time, after the Prince of Wu’s failed rebellion, many forces had come to dismember his body after smelling the stench of blood. Now, more than half of them had appeared, and some had even withdrawn. Bin the Yan Province forces, who had arrived first, had yet to make a move.
The reason why they didn’t take action was not because Yan Province had some shocking plan. It was simply because the people sent here were not strong enough.
In the wilderness, Lu Feng, one of the leaders of the Cutting Cloud Palace, was wearing a bamboo hat. He slowly followed the traces on the ground left by a Jun Mountain Saber and reached a forest on a mountainside.
Lu Feng didn’t come here under the orders of the Prince of Yan. The Prince of Yan had thrown rhe Prince of Wu out as cannon fodder. After confirming the empress’s current situation, he had already obtained what he wanted and wasn’t interested in the remaining value of the Prince of Wu at all.
But it was different for the Cutting Cloud Palace. Lu Jieyun, Lu Feng’s elder brother and the overlord of Yan Province, had suffered internal injuries for some reason in recent years. All kinds of medicine couldn’t cure him, so they could only gather all sorts of precious medicinal herbs to nourish his meridians and protect his body to maintain his body’s condition.
If Lu Jieyun fell, the Cutting Cloud Palace would fall. This matter couldn’t be spread. Only Lu Feng and his brothers knew.
Meridians were the foundation of martial artists, and the best medicinal herb for nourishing and protecting meridians was none other than rhe Snow Lake Flower. For this reason, after confirming that the Prince of Wu had the Snow Lake Powder, Lu Feng was determined to obtain this item.
Lu Feng had been wandering around the Hidden Dragon Cave these few days, making up all kinds of reasons to get the prescription from Bai Siming. However, Bai Siming was very stubborn when he was at his wits’ end. He wouldn’t give the formula until he saw something concrete.
But before Lu Feng could wait for the Prince of Wu and his group to relent, the officials had arrived today.
During the fight for the treasure just now, Lu Feng had been hiding on a distant mountain ridge and watching from afar. He could confirm that the people who came were two leaders of Jun Mountain Terrace, Northern Liang’s Thief Sage, and Ye Silang of the Red Flower Pavilion.
Lu Feng’s lightness skills and movement techniques far exceeded those of ordinary people, but his direct combat strength was inferior to that of boorish sects like Jun Mountain Terrace. From the beginning to the end, he had never found a chance to enter the battlefield. He could only keep an eye on them in secret.
After a series of conflicts, the medicine book finally fell into the hands of Ye Silang of the Red Flower Pavilion. Ye Silang had used a self-harming move like the Wind Pool Reverse Blood. His combat strength was probably less than 30% now, and he was recuperating in a cave.
After assessing the situation for a long time, Lu Feng felt that if he took advantage of Ye Silang while he was recovering, it would be very likely for him to obtain the formula, lie might even be able to bring the Heavenly Carnelian Bead back for research.
For this reason, Lu Feng suppressed his aura and silently walked in from the forest. Flis gaze landed on the two small fry guards outside the cave..
