Chapter 1634: Chapter 1634: Temporary Suppression

Because this is basically the same as digging up someone’s ancestral grave, wiping out their bloodline, and stealing their wife.

It’s something the righteous path of this world absolutely cannot tolerate.

So at this moment, the old Daoist was also furious to the extreme.

After Chen Feng heard the old Daoist’s words, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to a realization and hurriedly asked, "Senior, you mean the reason Lu Ying is in a coma right now is because someone has been constantly stealing the Heavenly Origin Pearl’s Energy from her?"

"That’s right. This little girl is still young after all, her body is weak, so she simply can’t withstand such plundering. The Heavenly Origin Pearl and she are one; if one prospers, both prosper, if one is harmed, both are harmed!"

The old Daoist said.

"So that means, in the past two years, every full-moon night when Lu Ying fell into a coma and stayed unconscious for the whole night, it actually didn’t have much to do with the full moon itself, did it?"

Chen Feng continued to ask.

"That’s indeed the case. I estimate that at the beginning that thief didn’t dare absorb too much, because he was also worried that Lu Ying’s body wouldn’t be able to handle it, and he was afraid of being discovered. So he chose to make his move every month on the full-moon night, using that special date as a cover. At first, he was only testing the waters, absorbing just a little. Later, when he saw nothing happened, plus his greed, he absorbed more and more. Until now, his ambition is no longer under control. So even during the day he has to absorb. That is the reason this little girl suddenly falls into a coma in broad daylight!"

The old Daoist speculated.

"So that’s how it is!"

Chen Feng nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Then I wonder if you, Senior, have a way to break this? If this goes on, it will definitely damage Lu Ying’s body, right?"

"Of course. Like I said, the Heavenly Origin Pearl and its owner’s life are bound together. That thief, by doing this, is basically sucking away this little girl’s life. If this continues, I estimate this little girl won’t live past ten."

The old Daoist said.

"He must be stopped!"

At this moment.

Even Chen Feng could no longer tolerate it.

Ten years old—that’s a blooming age, the most beautiful time in a person’s life.

Carefree, able to enjoy everything to the fullest.

Yet little Lu Ying would die young at that time.

Chen Feng really couldn’t bear to watch such a tragedy happen.

So no matter what, he had to stop it!

Thinking of this.

Chen Feng took a deep breath and directly asked, "Senior, do you have any method? Can you remove this purple-black flame from Lu Ying’s body?"

"There is a way, but I must first know which Sect the person who left this thing in her body belongs to!"

The old Daoist said.

"Is that very important?"

Chen Feng asked, puzzled.

"Of course. Only if we know which Sect the person is from can we know what Sect’s Cultivation Technique he used, so we can prescribe the right remedy. After all, this little girl is too young, and her Dantian’s tolerance is very weak. I can’t forcefully use brute strength to break it. If I accidentally injure the girl’s Dantian, her foundation will be ruined. If she can’t do Cultivation in the future, that would be a real sin!"

The old Daoist explained.

It was obvious he was someone who particularly cherished geniuses.

From the moment he learned someone was stealing Lu Ying’s Heavenly Origin Pearl, it was already clear.

After all, Lu Ying is a peerless genius who bears the Heavenly Origin Pearl, destined to become a super expert in the future.

If her foundation was accidentally destroyed, that would be the same as destroying a future super powerhouse.

Anyone would feel distressed about that!

"Alright, I understand."

Chen Feng nodded somewhat helplessly, then asked, "Then is there any way to temporarily suppress this purple-black flame, to keep it from devouring Lu Ying’s Heavenly Origin Pearl’s Energy for a short time?"

"That can be done, but you must first agree to one thing!"

The old Daoist said.

"Uh, what is it?"

Chen Feng asked, confused.

"Once you intervene in this matter, then you must take this little girl as your disciple and protect her and her family’s safety. Otherwise, just don’t meddle at all—pretend you don’t know anything and leave right now!"

The old Daoist said.

"Why?"

Chen Feng asked, somewhat baffled.

"Because once you interfere, you’ll most likely anger that thief. If he comes back, the one in danger will be the little girl. If he flies into a rage out of humiliation, do you think the little girl can still survive?"

The old Daoist countered.

After hearing the old Daoist’s words, Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

Because what the old Daoist said made a lot of sense.

This matter.

Once you interfere, you have to see it through to the end.

Otherwise, once he left and that person came back looking for them.

Then Lu Ying and her mother would fall into danger.

The other option was simply not to meddle.

That way at least Lu Ying could still live until ten.

But.

Still the same thing.

Chen Feng wasn’t some saintly pushover, but since he’d already run into something like this, wanting him to just walk away was obviously impossible.

So Chen Feng could only choose to see it through.

He took a deep breath and said, "Senior, it’s impossible for me not to care about this matter, so I’ll see it through. As for having her take me as her master, I agree as well. Even if she’s unwilling, I and the Chen Family will always protect her safety!"

"Good. With your word, this old man can rest easy. I’ll temporarily help her suppress that purple-black flame. After that she’ll wake up. But remember, this suppression is only temporary, it can only last for a period of time. I hope you can quickly find out the mastermind and investigate the Cultivation Technique he used. Only then can I cut off the root of the disease completely!"

The old Daoist instructed.

"Understood!"

Chen Feng nodded.

After getting Chen Feng’s response, the old Daoist said nothing more.

After about five seconds.

A white beam of light shot out from Chen Feng’s chest, heading straight toward Lu Ying’s Dantian.

The next moment.

Chen Feng saw it.

Inside Lu Ying’s Dantian.

A strand of white light coiled around that mass of purple-black flame.

And precisely because of this strand of white light.

The burning speed of the purple-black flame instantly slowed down.

And it seemed as if the entire flame had been bound and restricted by the white light, unable to devour or absorb the Heavenly Origin Pearl’s Energy for the time being.

Seeing this.

Joy flashed in Chen Feng’s eyes.

He knew the old Daoist had successfully suppressed the purple-black flame.

However, this was only temporary.

If Lu Ying was to be safe in the future, that purple-black flame had to be wiped out completely!

But first they had to find out who the mastermind was and which Sect he belonged to!

No denying it, this was another tough problem.

After all, the Ancient Martial World is so vast; finding a single person is really too difficult.

He could only take one step at a time and see as he went!
