110: Goodbye Wang Yuyan
In the following days, Yang Lingchen stayed in the haotian jade space to Cultivate. In this mysterious space, Profound Energy was dense, making it an excellent place for cultivation.
Xiao Yu became increasingly dependent on Yang Lingchen. Her pure and innocent appearance filled Yang Lingchen's heart with warmth.
Yang Lingchen did not adopt Ling'er's suggestion. He believed that even if Xiao Yu regained her memories, she would not harm him.
Because Xiao Yu's eyes were always so clear and clean, Yang Lingchen really didn't want to believe that a Phoenix Goddess with such clear eyes would harm him.
"Is Junior Brother Yang here?"
This day, while Yang Lingchen was Cultivating, he suddenly heard a shout from outside. The voice was crisp and urgent, breaking the tranquility of his cultivation.
So he quickly left the haotian jade space.
"So it's Senior Sister Xiao Yun! Do you have something to see me about?"
Yang Lingchen opened the courtyard gate and saw a petite girl standing at the door holding an envelope.
The girl's face carried a hint of shyness and nervousness, her hands tightly clutching the envelope.
"This is for you." The girl named Xiao Yun handed the envelope to Yang Lingchen. Her eyes shifted slightly, not daring to meet Yang Lingchen's gaze.
"Senior Sister Xiao Yun, this wouldn't be a love letter you wrote for me, would it?"
Yang Lingchen smiled and said, a hint of teasing in his expression.
"It certainly is not! Someone at the foot of the mountain asked me to bring it up to you, saying they have urgent business with you."
Xiao Yun's face flushed red, and after speaking, she quickly ran away. Her footsteps were frantic, as if she were afraid Yang Lingchen would say another word.
Yang Lingchen gently opened the envelope. When he saw the words written on it, his face immediately turned extremely ugly.
"Wang Yuyan, you bitch, you actually dare to show up."
At this moment, an endless fire of rage ignited in Yang Lingchen's eyes, a fire that seemed ready to burn everything to ashes.
If it weren't for this damned woman, Xiao Qingyun's whereabouts wouldn't still be unknown.
After the initial excitement, Yang Lingchen quickly calmed down. He knew Wang Yuyan was a very calculating woman and would never do anything she wasn't sure of. If he rushed there blindly, he would likely fall into her trap.
After some thought, Yang Lingchen directly used the Shapeshifting Technique to transform into Xiao Yun's appearance and then walked down Lingxiu Peak.
Since the other party knew Yang Lingchen was on Lingxiu Peak, there must be scouts nearby. If he went out directly, they would soon get the news, and it would be very difficult for him to rescue anyone... Cangyun Mountain Range.
"Elder Wang, are you sure that kid will come to rescue this girl?"
The Heavenly Yin Sect Grand Elder frowned and said in a deep voice. His gaze carried a hint of suspicion and worry as he looked at Wang Yuyan.
"He should come. This girl is his first friend after arriving in the Central Region, so he will definitely come to save her. Moreover, he hates me to the bone; how could he miss a chance to kill me for revenge?"
Wang Yuyan said with certainty, her eyes filled with confidence and coldness.
"I hope so! Otherwise, dragging this out isn't a solution."
The Heavenly Yin Sect Grand Elder said, his face showing a hint of impatience... At this time, Yang Lingchen had transformed himself into a middle-aged man and was driving a beast carriage, heading all the way toward the Cangyun Mountain Range.
Yang Lingchen was still very wary of Wang Yuyan's character. After all, this woman was ruthless and used cruel methods. If he didn't go to rescue Chen Xueqi, Chen Xueqi would definitely die a miserable death.
The beast carriage sped along the rugged mountain road, kicking up clouds of dust.
Yang Lingchen's heart was filled with anxiety and unease; he didn't know what was waiting for him.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed. After two days of non-stop travel, Yang Lingchen finally reached the edge of the Cangyun Mountain Range.
Here, the mountains were high and the forests dense, shrouded in mist, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.
After arriving at the Cangyun Mountain Range, Yang Lingchen became exceptionally cautious because he knew Wang Yuyan was a very smart woman. If he were careless, he would definitely be killed by her schemes.
Yang Lingchen headed toward the address given by Wang Yuyan. When he was twenty kilometers away from his destination, Yang Lingchen stopped, put away the beast carriage, held his breath, and quietly slipped into the bushes.
He was waiting for the other party's scouts to pass by. He didn't believe there were no scouts around her. As long as he caught one, Yang Lingchen could use the Soul Searching Technique and then transform into the scout's appearance. Only then would he be confident in approaching Wang Yuyan.
In the blink of an eye, another half-day passed. Yang Lingchen had been lying in the bushes the whole time, his clothes already soaked with dew, but he was completely unaware. He slowly approached the target, every step careful, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Just as Yang Lingchen was about to lose his patience, a man wearing a black robe, with a cultivation level around the third layer of the King Realm, quickly walked toward Yang Lingchen's position.
If his guess was correct, this man should be a scout sent out by Wang Yuyan.
Just as the man approached the bushes where Yang Lingchen was hiding, Yang Lingchen's figure darted out like a bolt of lightning.
"Bang."
Yang Lingchen struck the back of the man's neck with a fist. Powerful force exploded instantly, knocking him unconscious immediately.
After confirming no one had noticed, Yang Lingchen dragged him into the bushes. His movements were swift and efficient, without any hesitation.
While the man was unconscious, Yang Lingchen directly activated the Soul Searching Technique, placing his index finger on the man's forehead, and continuously copied the man's memories into his own mind.
In less than fifteen minutes, the man was foaming at the mouth and had completely left the world of the living. Yang Lingchen's face was grim; the Soul Searching Technique caused immense damage to the subject, making death almost certain.
After obtaining the man's memories, Yang Lingchen's expression became extremely solemn.
Because the opposition wasn't just Wang Yuyan alone; there was also a Heavenly Yin Sect Grand Elder at the ninth layer of the King Realm. In front of such a powerhouse, Yang Lingchen felt very powerless.
Should he save Chen Xueqi or not? Yang Lingchen fell into deep thought.
If he saved her, he would likely face a narrow escape from death.
If he didn't save her, it would be very hard for him to live with himself.
After all, Chen Xueqi had rescued him from the slave market and had even given him a Spiritual Profound Crystal, allowing him to Breakthrough from the seventh layer of the Gui Xuan Realm to the Spiritual Profound Realm.
Yang Lingchen didn't consider himself a good person, nor was he a Saint. He didn't want to lose his life for Chen Xueqi's sake.
But Yang Lingchen was not an ungrateful person. As his first friend after coming to the Central Region, Chen Xueqi had been captured by Wang Yuyan because of him. If he didn't go to save her, he would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Yang Lingchen gritted his teeth, then transformed into the scout's appearance and changed into his clothes. With everything ready, Yang Lingchen walked toward Wang Yuyan's location.
"Captain, why are you just getting back? The Grand Elder is getting impatient," a man in black said to Yang Lingchen, a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.
"I was scouting for information on the way and got delayed. Where is the Grand Elder?"
Yang Lingchen said casually, his voice mimicking the scout's as much as possible.
"The Grand Elder is in the woods behind us."
The man in black spoke, pointing toward the woods.
"Then I'll go in to report. You guys keep a lookout."
After speaking, Yang Lingchen walked into the woods. His steps were steady, but his heart was filled with tension.
Entering the woods, Yang Lingchen saw Wang Yuyan at a glance. Her cultivation had already reached the second layer of the Spirit Sea Realm. Beside Wang Yuyan was an Old Man in Black Robe; this person was the Heavenly Yin Sect Grand Elder, Yu Yilong.
At this time, Chen Xueqi was tied to a tree trunk, her face pale and bloodless. Her eyes were filled with despair and fear, but when she saw Yang Lingchen enter, a glimmer of hope flashed in them.
"This subordinate greets the Grand Elder and Elder Wang."
To avoid suspicion, Yang Lingchen directly knelt on one knee and performed a salute.
"Has that kid come yet?"
Yu Yilong said with a grim face, his voice full of urgency and impatience.
"In response to the Grand Elder, our people just sent news that the kid has been staying at Lingxiu Peak and has no intention of coming to save anyone."
Yang Lingchen spoke, his voice calm, trying his best not to reveal any flaws.
"This kid is truly heartless. Such a delicate beauty is in our hands, yet he remains indifferent."
Yu Yilong frowned, his expression turning incredibly dark.
"It seems I really underestimated Yang Lingchen. Now we can only plan for the long term,"
Wang Yuyan said coldly, a hint of disappointment and anger in her eyes.
"Grand Elder, can this woman be rewarded to this subordinate?"
A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Yang Lingchen's mouth as he tried to make himself look as evil as those from the Heavenly Yin Sect.
