99: Mother and Daughter (Part 2)

Hong Fu’s eyes were bloodshot, and she looked like a madwoman.

The red light on the Wind and Cloud Banner almost ignited, and countless phantom red long whips, mixed with silver electric arcs pouring out from the jade bottle, surged towards Cloudy Dew without regard for Qi consumption.

Cloudy Dew’s expression was somewhat grim.

He hadn’t expected Hong Fu to be so resistant to the Joyful Union Sect. With a flick of his sleeve, wisps of flower petals tightly encircled Hong Fu.

No matter how Hong Fu attacked, it was useless.

Seeing Lin Feng and Dong Xuan’er’s escape light about to disappear into the sky, Cloudy Dew was about to give chase.

Hong Fu saw Cloudy Dew about to pursue Lin Feng and Dong Xuan’er again, and she shouted sternly, “If you insist on chasing them, I will immediately kill myself here! Even if you use force to coerce my daughter and me today, it will be useless!”

Hearing these words, Cloudy Dew’s idea of controlling Hong Fu with his Divine Sense also dissipated.

He slowly turned around, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman before him. For the first time, a hint of loneliness and confusion appeared on his handsome, almost demonic Face.

Why did the reunion he had yearned for a hundred years result in such a scene?

Why did both she and the daughter he had just met look at him with eyes full of vigilance, fear, and even… disdain?

However, Cloudy Dew was, after all, a Nascent Soul Cultivator who had Cultivated for several hundred years, and his state of mind was as firm as a rock.

That loneliness lasted only for a few breaths before he completely suppressed it.

Just then, in the distant sky, boundless blood clouds rolled in. The escape light within the clouds dissipated, revealing the figure of Wang Tiangu of the Guiling Sect.

His expression was quite dejected.

Just now, when he was chasing that strange Core Formation Cultivator, the opponent, as if without care for money, continuously threw out dozens of Talismans of no low Rank, all of which he had to forcefully endure. He finally managed to capture the opponent, but that person decisively self-destructed, not even leaving him a chance to search his soul. As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he was unable to stop it.

“Brother Cloudy Dew, such a small matter, it even alarmed you!”

As soon as Wang Tiangu saw Cloudy Dew, the dejection on his Face immediately turned into a warm smile, and he came forward to greet him.

When his gaze swept over Hong Fu, who was standing nearby, he immediately guessed a few things.

Cloudy Dew merely nodded to him, his gaze returning to Hong Fu.

“You always say that I don’t give Xuan’er a choice.”

“Today, I will give you a choice.”

“This place is less than a thousand li from the Seven Sects territory. If that male companion of Xuan’er can take her away safely, I will grant your wish.”

Cloudy Dew paused, his voice betraying no emotion.

“So that you and your daughter can live peacefully in the Seven Sects from now on. But if she is brought back… then it can only mean that your so-called choice cannot guarantee Xuan’er’s safety.”

“At that time, I will bring both of you back to my Joyful Union Sect.”

He added a final sentence.

“Of course, I will not make a move.”

Cloudy Dew then turned his head to look at Wang Tiangu, who was beside him.

“Brother Wang, I trouble you to go and bring those two juniors back. Remember, do not harm that female Cultivator. As for that male Cultivator… just make sure he’s alive.”

“No problem! No problem!”

Wang Tiangu immediately cupped his hands in return, overjoyed.

This was a favor given for free, and it seemed to be Cloudy Dew’s family matter. If he handled it well, he and the Guiling Sect would gain more Face in the Demonic Path Alliance in the future.

He no longer hesitated, cupped his fist at Cloudy Dew, and his figure transformed into a boundless blood cloud, stirring up a fishy wind, and rapidly pursued in the direction where Lin Feng and Dong Xuan’er had disappeared.

Only Hong Fu and Cloudy Dew remained at the original spot.

Hong Fu was silent.

She had no right to refuse, nor the ability to refuse.

Cloudy Dew’s words were not entirely unreasonable. If it hadn’t been him they encountered today, but any other Demonic Path Nascent Soul Cultivator, she and Xuan’er would probably have already died.

The only thing she could do at this moment was to pray that Lin Feng could bring Xuan’er back.

But deep down in her heart, there was a profound sadness.

That was a Nascent Soul Cultivator. Could Lin Feng… really escape with Xuan’er?

…

A hundred li away.

Lin Feng pulled Dong Xuan’er, transforming into a green escape light, flying rapidly at low altitude.

On his forehead, between his eyebrows, a faint golden vertical pupil flickered with subtle electric light.

Thunder Eye!

This was a Heavenly Eye type Divine Ability he had learned from the System.

With the help of this Divine Ability, Lin Feng could clearly see scenes hundreds of li away. Cloudy Dew and Hong Fu were still at their original spot.

And another blood cloud escape light was chasing in his direction at an astonishing speed.

Lin Feng felt a slight sense of relief.

As long as it wasn’t Cloudy Dew himself giving chase, there was no problem, and he wouldn’t need to reveal his trump cards.

The vertical pupil on his forehead quietly closed, and his skin returned to normal.

A few breaths later, Lin Feng finally flew completely out of Cloudy Dew’s Divine Sense range, and the sense of security brought by Divine Sense returned.

He immediately unleashed his Divine Sense, which was comparable to the Peak of the Early Stage Nascent Soul, without reservation.

Behind him, Wang Tiangu’s position was clearly perceived by him, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.

Without using the Wind and Thunder Wings and carrying Dong Xuan’er, simply competing in escape speed, he was indeed slightly slower than an Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator exerting his full Divine Ability.

However, Wang Tiangu, who was chasing at full speed behind him, was even more shocked.

He had already pushed his escape Divine Ability to its limit, yet he still couldn’t catch up to the green escape light ahead in a short time.

How could a Core Formation Cultivator, carrying a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, be so fast?!

And when Wang Tiangu finally approached Lin Feng, he discovered another strange thing.

In his Divine Sense perception, Lin Feng’s figure ahead suddenly blurred.

Immediately after, it split into two, transforming into two identical green escape lights, fleeing in two different directions!

Whether it was their aura, speed, or spiritual power fluctuations, they were completely identical!

“An illusion or a Clone?”

Wang Tiangu frowned deeply, his Divine Sense sweeping back and forth, yet he still couldn’t distinguish between real and fake.

“Hmph, petty tricks!”

He roared angrily, unwilling to waste any more time, and slapped his Storage Pouch. The Blood Soul Bracelet he had lent to Wang Chan earlier flew out.

He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of essence blood, all of which entered the bracelet.

“Roar—!”

The bracelet burst with blood-red light, and hundreds of Yin Souls and Blood Ghosts howled out, letting out waves of mournful wails in the air. Then, they actually devoured and Fused with each other, instantly transforming into a massive, ferocious Yin Beast shaped like a vicious dog!

“Go!”

Wang Tiangu pointed a finger at one of the escape lights, and the Yin Beast roared as it gave chase.

As for himself, he transformed into a blood cloud and personally pursued the other escape light.

As luck would have it, the direction he chose was where Lin Feng’s true body was located.

The fake Lin Feng on the other side was Lin Feng using Lu Yunfeng from within the Eastern Emperor Bell as a host, and with the Chang Geng Soul Division Art (if forgotten, refer to Chapter 82), he entrusted a trace of his Clone into the body, achieving a temporary Clone effect that was indistinguishable from the real thing.

Looking at the blood cloud relentlessly pursuing him from behind, Lin Feng’s eyes remained calm.

He even considered whether to use the Spirit Descent Talisman to try and keep this Early Stage Nascent Soul Guiling Sect Cultivator here forever.

But at this moment, within his Divine Sense range, two other escape lights suddenly intruded.

One of the auras was so familiar…

“Now, there’s no need for me to make a move.”

Lin Feng’s lips curled slightly, and his escape speed actually slowed down a bit, maintaining the level expected of a normal Late Stage Core Formation Cultivator.

Seeing this, Wang Tiangu was delighted, thinking that the opponent was running low on Qi and had finally slowed down.

“Junior, surrender!”

He sneered, and the boundless blood cloud rolled, condensing into a giant blood claw, grabbing down at Lin Feng and Dong Xuan’er!

But at this moment!

A clear, sharp white sword light, appearing from nowhere, shone forth, arriving first and streaking across the sky!

“Hiss—!”

That giant blood claw was actually severed in half by this sword light, turning into a sky full of blood Qi and dissipating!

Within the blood cloud, Wang Tiangu let out a muffled groan, and his figure paused.

A graceful female Cultivator figure, holding a white Flying Sword flickering with spiritual light, quietly appeared in front, staring at him with ill intent.

At the same time, another blue escape light had also rapidly arrived beside Lin Feng.

The escape light dissipated, revealing a Face of unparalleled beauty, yet with a hint of anxiety.

“Lin Feng! Are you alright?”

Her clear and melodious voice was full of concern.

It was Nangong Wan.
