478: Hua Canghai's murderous intent

When Yang Lingchen arrived at the foot of Xuanbing Peak, Li Hanyan was already waiting there.

Today, Li Hanyan was wearing a white Yanyun butterfly dress. Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down both sides of her neck like a waterfall, and the cinched waist perfectly accentuated her beautiful figure.

It was clear that Li Hanyan had dressed up carefully today. Although she was always beautiful, she usually appeared too aloof, but today she seemed charming, elegant, and graceful.

"Sister Hanyan, what made you think of going home?"

Looking at the stunning woman before him, Yang Lingchen couldn't help but gaze at her for a moment longer.

"I haven't been home for nearly two years, so I wanted to go back and take a look. Thank you for being willing to accompany me."

Li Hanyan's voice was soft and melodious, like the sound of nature itself, making one unable to help but be intoxicated by it.

"Why are you being so polite with me? It just so happens that I also want to go back and see Li Xiaoyi and Li Yuanhao," Yang Lingchen said with a calm smile.

"Let's take the Xuan Yi Beast! That way, we can avoid the fatigue of a long-distance flight," Li Hanyan said softly.

"Why don't we take the Magic Flame Condor instead? I recently raised one. This Little Fellow is very mischievous and always wants to come out and play."

Yang Lingchen suddenly remembered the little Magic Flame Condor inside the haotian jade space. This Little Fellow was causing trouble all day long and always wanted to come out to play.

"Magic Flame Condor? Are you sure you really have a Magic Flame Condor?" A trace of doubt appeared on Li Hanyan's pretty face.

"Of course." Yang Lingchen smiled calmly, then released the Magic Flame Condor from the haotian jade space.

"Screech!"

The moment the Magic Flame Condor emerged, it immediately let out a shrill cry.

It then flew into the high sky, circled several times, and finally landed slowly in front of Yang Lingchen.

After several months of growth, the Magic Flame Condor's size was already comparable to a Xuan Yi Beast, and this was still while it was immature. If it continued to grow, it would definitely become a behemoth. By then, Yang Lingchen would have an additional combat partner by his side.

"This really is a Magic Flame Condor! Where did you find it?" Li Hanyan asked, her face full of shock.

One had to know that Yao Beasts like the Magic Flame Condor were very difficult to capture. She hadn't expected that Yang Lingchen would be able to capture a young Magic Flame Condor.

"I found it by accident," Yang Lingchen replied, then said, "Sister Hanyan, let's go."

"Mm... mm!" Li Hanyan nodded.

Afterwards, Yang Lingchen pulled Li Hanyan onto the back of the Magic Flame Condor. "Little Flame, fly in this direction. Don't be mischievous on the way!"

"Coo... coo...!"

Little Flame nodded excitedly. It had only hatched not long ago, so it hadn't yet learned human language, but it could basically understand everything Yang Lingchen said.

Although Little Flame was not yet fully grown, its speed was extremely fast. Even an adult Xuan Yi Beast could not compare to it in terms of speed; after all, the Magic Flame Condor was known for its speed and ferocity.

The moment Yang Lingchen left, a middle-aged man with cold, sinister eyes in a corner outside Wentian Palace also immediately gave chase.

This middle-aged man was none other than Li Xiaoming, the patriarch of the Li family in Dazhou City.

He had been guarding outside Wentian Palace for some time, and only today did he finally wait for Yang Lingchen to leave, so he could not miss this opportunity.

Meanwhile, not long after Yang Lingchen and Li Hanyan left Wentian Palace, Tan Shaodu and Xu Shaotang also received the news.

Wentian Peak. The Immortal Cave where the Palace Master Cultivated. Palace Master was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, Cultivating, when Tan Shaodu hurried in.

"Father, that Little Bastard Yang Lingchen has left with Li Hanyan."

"Mm, take my token and go find the Tenth Elder. He knows what to do," Palace Master said, taking out a token and handing it to Tan Shaodu.

"This child understands," Tan Shaodu said, bowing respectfully.

"You are not young anymore; do not always immerse yourself in affairs with women. As long as we fully control Wentian Palace in the future, what kind of woman could you not have?" Palace Master's voice carried a hint of authority.

"Father is right to teach me," Tan Shaodu replied.

"Now is not the time for our father-son relationship to be exposed. Once I have dealt with that old fellow, the Grand Elder, Wentian Palace will completely belong to us," Palace Master said, his eyes revealing a cold, sinister aura.

"Father, do we really have to be undercover for our whole lives?" A trace of unwillingness appeared in Tan Shaodu's eyes.

"Hmph, as long as we fully control Wentian Palace, by then, we naturally won't need to continue being undercover."

A fierce light flashed in Palace Master's eyes as he continued, "Go! This Yang Lingchen absolutely cannot be kept alive; he is very likely someone the Grand Elder has taken a liking to."

"Father, rest assured. With the Tenth Elder there, this Little Bastard will definitely die," Tan Shaodu said, then walked out of the Immortal Cave.

"Chen Daotian, you want to Cultivate Yang Lingchen? Then I will destroy him. Wentian Palace can only belong to me. You are already old; it is time to relinquish your power."

A cold, murderous intent welled up in Palace Master's eyes.

Hantian Peak.

"Father, I must kill that Little Bastard Yang Lingchen," Xu Shaotang said through gritted teeth.

"You idiot! What do you have in your head? Have you never seen a woman before?"

After Xu Yingtao finished speaking, he slapped him directly.

"Slap...!"

Xu Shaotang's face was immediately swollen from the slap, and he was so scared that he didn't even dare to let out a peep.

"Yang Lingchen has offended Tan Shaodu, and his strength has already threatened Tan Shaodu's position. Do you think the Palace Master will let him go?" Xu Yingtao said coldly.

"Then why didn't the Palace Master punish that kid last time?" Xu Shaotang asked.

"That kid has quite a few people protecting him. Although he killed Zhu Mingxiang, that was a fair and square challenge, so the Palace Master couldn't find a reason to punish him. Most importantly, Gao Huoyang is protecting him, and Gao Huoyang is a Disciple of the Grand Elder. Therefore, it is best if we do not provoke this Yang Lingchen casually."

"Is the Grand Elder actually more powerful than the Palace Master?" Xu Shaotang asked doubtfully.

"Are you talking nonsense? If it weren't for the Grand Elder, our Wentian Palace would have ceased to exist long ago. In the future, you are not allowed to provoke Yang Lingchen for no reason. This kid is very likely an object the Grand Elder is focusing on cultivating," Xu Yingtao said.

"Mm!" Xu Shaotang's eyes showed a trace of unwillingness, but he still nodded.

Xu Yingtian sighed and said, "What you need to do now is focus on your Cultivation and not think about these useless things. Naturally, there will be others to deal with Yang Lingchen's affairs. Why do you have to be that idiot who sticks their neck out? You must use your brain when doing anything; don't just rush in headfirst. If you do that, you won't even know how you died."

"Father's teachings are correct," Xu Shaotang nodded respectfully.

"Yang Lingchen, why are you holding me?" Li Hanyan said with feigned anger.

"Sister Hanyan, it's a misunderstanding! Just now, Little Flame was flying too fast, and you suddenly slid over. I was afraid you would fall off, so I had no choice but to hold you."

Yang Lingchen looked innocent, still gently holding Li Hanyan, with absolutely no intention of letting go.

"Then why haven't you let go yet?" Li Hanyan said with feigned anger.

"Oh! Sister Hanyan, you smell so good!" Yang Lingchen naturally let go of Li Hanyan.

"Your mouth is so sweet, you must have tricked quite a few women!" Li Hanyan said with feigned anger.

"That's not true! Every day, apart from Cultivation, I rarely have contact with women," Yang Lingchen said, putting on a well-behaved act.

"How old are you?" Li Hanyan asked, looking curious. She could feel that Yang Lingchen was very young, but she didn't know his exact age.

"Thirty-eight, why?" Yang Lingchen replied casually.

"It's nothing, just asking. I didn't think you were so young."

At this moment, Li Hanyan was shocked. To be able to break through to the Heavenly Net Realm before the age of a thousand could already be considered a top-tier Genius, but she never expected that Yang Lingchen was not even a hundred years old.
