Ling Zhenfei said: "Two lips can say anything they want."
Yanzi nodded again and said: "Then, Senior Brother Ling, we will be off."
Ling Zhenfei said: "Safe travels."
Yanzi Gate set out towards the west, Yanzi looked back at Ling Zhenfei, waving at him.
Ling Zhenfei also waved back at Yanzi, and then the group from Yanzi Gate disappeared into the forest.
The Lightning Bird descended from the sky, and Ling Zhenfei mounted it to continue heading deeper into the forest.
Riding atop the Lightning Bird, Ling Zhenfei consumed a few elixirs and began cultivating.
The previous battle with Tian Ming—they would be lying if they said they weren't hurt; each shock of Northern Spiritual Energy inflicted damage on Ling Zhenfei.
At that time, driven by vengeance, they hadn't thought much about it, but now having stopped, they felt their internal organs churning.
Ling Zhenfei glanced back at the gradually fading distance behind him.
Ling Zhenfei was somewhat relieved, at least he killed Tian Ming and avenged Zhang Zhenlin and Sun Wei.
His heart turned bitter again as he thought of Zhang Zhenlin; if they had known such things would happen, why did they come here?
The Lightning Bird flapped its wings, beneath it lay a boundless forest.
Ling Zhenfei raised the altitude of the Lightning Bird's flight a bit, then sat atop it continuing his repairs, proceeding ever deeper into the forest.
Ling Zhenfei still has something to do now, and that's rescuing Ru Meng, but it seems that it's no longer just about Ru Meng.
The enmity between Blood Son and him is getting increasingly complicated.
He didn't know how long he'd been cultivating, but Ling Zhenfei finally felt much better, then had the Lightning Bird fly lower, continuing to search for things in the forest.
Although this forest is immense, if the Supreme Divine Palace appears, he should be able to see it.
At this moment, a calling sound came through Ling Zhenfei's walkie-talkie.
This walkie-talkie wasn't one Ling Zhenfei had prepared himself, it came from another walkie-talkie, one from the organization.
"Special Action Team members, this is the Eastern Emperor, please respond if you can hear."
The Eastern Emperor is the leader of their squad, at that time Ling Zhenfei's task was to follow Wuliang Mountain and try to obtain the Heavenly God Sword.
At this time, someone responded over the walkie-talkie: "Old Gun received."
"Old Meng received!"
"Old Zhuang received."
Several people in succession confirmed receipt.
Ling Zhenfei wondered if he should also respond, but after thinking a bit, he decided to keep silent first to see what these people wanted to do.
Then the Eastern Emperor said: "I am now advancing towards the Supreme Divine Palace, the Heavenly God Sword is there. I hope everyone proceeds towards the Supreme Divine Palace, then gather outside it."
Many people behind him said they received the instructions.
Ling Zhenfei did not speak throughout, because he didn't know what to say; the organization made it sound so simple as if the Heavenly God Sword could be obtained casually.
The Heavenly God Sword is extremely difficult to acquire; not to mention if there are any traps inside the Supreme Divine Palace, even if there are none, competing for it among so many major sects is extremely tough.
Ling Zhenfei thought about it briefly, didn't worry about too much, and continued advancing forward. In the distance, the forest echoed with numerous sounds of Northern Spiritual Energy shocks; Ling Zhenfei was quite shocked, not knowing what was happening.
Even though all surrounding places had spiritual energy shocks, the front suddenly saw an increase in spiritual energy.
This indicates that something is wrong; he doesn't know exactly what's going on.
After advancing forward for a distance, Ling Zhenfei encountered many cultivators already at the front.
The front suddenly seemed much more perilous, though Ling Zhenfei's Lightning Bird could very easily rush toward that place.
But then Ling Zhenfei suddenly sensed a strong wave of spiritual energy sweeping over him from ahead.
Ling Zhenfei knew that wasn't good; judging from the Divine Sense, this must be a very powerful cultivator.
This cultivator was quite similar to the one Ling Zhenfei discovered previously, who attacked him with a flying sword from kilometers away, even then Ling Zhenfei felt he couldn't withstand it.
From that time till now, that person seemed to have already gone ahead.
Originally Ling Zhenfei wanted to fly over, but upon sensing this powerful spiritual energy, he immediately made the Lightning Bird change direction and flee backward.
Ling Zhenfei felt hesitant; having the Lightning Bird was indeed a great thing, saving him much time; no one can stay flying in the sky indefinitely.
On the ground, who knows how many attacks from foreign races he must endure, nor how much pursuit by Demon Hunters he might face.
But at this point, Ling Zhenfei hesitated again, unsure whether to continue forward.
The front is undoubtedly dangerous, but going there might indeed offer a chance to obtain the Heavenly God Sword.
Yet, the Heavenly God Sword doesn't tempt Ling Zhenfei greatly; the most important thing now is to find the people from the Blood Oath Sect and rescue Ru Meng.
Ling Zhenfei didn't continue forward, instead had the Lightning Bird fly around nearby.
After flying for some distance, Ling Zhenfei suddenly spotted a hawk in the air.
This hawk wasn't very large, its wingspan about a meter wide, but its entire form was impressively mighty, clearly not a creature to be trifled with.
Ling Zhenfei was momentarily stunned upon seeing this hawk because he felt it was somewhat familiar.
Thinking for a moment, he confirmed that this hawk was the one Blood Son had tamed on Xianling Mountain.
At that time, they were being hunted by Blood Son and Xia Mingcheng within the mountains, when Blood Son sought to tame this young hawk.
Even atop Xianling Mountain, at that time, the young hawk was perched on Blood Son's shoulder.
With this hawk here, it indicates that Blood Son must be nearby.
Ling Zhenfei felt a surge of joy, it seemed that whatever he wished for, fate was delivering.
Ling Zhenfei had the Lightning Bird descend, then moved towards the front.
Ling Zhenfei could sense battle occurring ahead, with explosions of spiritual energy apparent.
Ling Zhenfei knew that must be where the Blood Oath Sect people were located.
He cautiously proceeded forward, and after a short walk, indeed found signs of battle up ahead.
The battle was sizable, it seemed to be the main force of foreign races clashing with leading human forces.
On one side were the people of the Blood Oath Sect, while the others were formidable-looking foreign races.
The Blood Oath Sect members now numbered only around a dozen, but with Blood Son and Xia Mingcheng present, their strength was secured.
Last time Ling Zhenfei confronted Blood Son, he realized Blood Son's Bloody Evil Technique was extremely formidable, and so far he hadn't figured out a way to counter it.
Xia Mingcheng's strength was also overwhelming, his power stemmed from cultivating in the Pursue Heart State for a considerable time.
Blood Son's strength came from his Bloody Evil Technique, a technique that exemplifies evil practices, accumulated through countless human blood.
The battle, or rather, the end stage of it, was now unfolding, as Blood Son unleashed his Bloody Evil Technique, the resulting Bloody Evil had almost an invincible aura.
