Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 750 - 748: Improper Desires, Mind Your Place!
Young Master Nangong looked at the unconscious Bing Ruolan, his gloominess vanishing, replaced by a smile.
"Bing Ruolan... Isn’t she from the North Sea Ice Palace family...?"
"Hmm, that should be correct. She must be Bing Ruolan, the one Young Master has an engagement with, the Second Princess of the North Sea Ice Palace! She disappeared from the North Sea Ice Palace a few years ago. Young Master even went searching for her. We never expected her to be in the Canglan Dynasty."
"Yes, and even more unexpectedly, she is the one who awakened the Saint Soul."
"Even the Palace Master of the North Sea Ice Palace probably didn’t expect this. However, this is great news for our Nangong family..."
The two Tiger Shark Guards stood up, their expressions filled with shock as they looked at Bing Ruolan.
Bing Hanbai turned his head. His eyes landed on Bing Ruolan, his sword-like brows lifting slightly, and his expression grew even colder.
SWOOSH!
At this moment, Young Master Nangong flashed and appeared before the two Tiger Shark Guards, saying, "Everyone, stop."
After glancing at Bing Ruolan, Young Master Nangong looked up at Bing Hanbai and laughed.
"So, Bing Ruolan is the one who awakened the Saint Soul! This is truly a case of ’the great flood washing away the Dragon King’s temple’—our own people failing to recognize each other!"
SWISH!
The spear in Bing Hanbai’s hands flickered, and an azure light flashed in the void. A terrifying, three-meter-wide ravine silently tore open in the ground before Young Master Nangong.
"If you continue to talk nonsense, I will take your head next time."
Bing Hanbai spoke, his expression icy and emotionless.
Hearing this, Young Master Nangong’s face stiffened. But considering Bing Hanbai’s strength, he didn’t dare say more. He glanced at Bing Ruolan and thought, Bing Ruolan awakening the Saint Soul is a major event. With Bing Hanbai here today, it’s impossible to take her away. I’d better return to the family as soon as possible, inform Father, and discuss countermeasures!
At this thought, a smile appeared on Young Master Nangong’s face. He bowed to Bing Hanbai and said,
"Regardless, you are my future brother-in-law. I have important matters to attend to, so I must leave first. Please take care of Bing Ruolan for me."
Bing Hanbai’s brow furrowed slightly, but he didn’t retort.
Finished speaking, Young Master Nangong ordered the two Tiger Shark Guards behind him, "Let’s go!"
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Young Master Nangong and the two Tiger Shark Guards rose into the sky and sped northward.
As they passed over Luo Feng and the others, Young Master Nangong abruptly stopped. He looked at Luo Feng, who was standing guard over Bing Ruolan, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Hm?"
Luo Feng sensed the murderous intent and frowned slightly, looking skyward. His gaze met Young Master Nangong’s directly.
Gazing at Luo Feng, Young Master Nangong’s expression was a half-smile, half-sneer.
"Luo Feng, although you’re just an insignificant speck to me, I will remember you today. I’m very grateful that you saved Ruolan’s life. However, I hope you don’t get any ideas above your station; otherwise, your life or death could be decided in an instant."
Luo Feng’s eyes narrowed, a chill flashed within them as he coldly said, "What are you implying?"
Young Master Nangong shook his head, pointing at Bing Ruolan, his eyes full of innate arrogance.
"I mean, she’s my woman. You’d best not harbor any improper thoughts about her. Watch your step!"
As he spoke, Young Master Nangong’s figure transformed into a streak of light, shooting into the sky and disappearing along with the two Tiger Shark Guards.
Seeing Young Master Nangong leave, the onlooking Martial Artists were quite surprised.
"Why did Young Master Nangong leave just like that? What did he say to Bing Hanbai?"
"Their voices were too low, I couldn’t hear."
"I didn’t hear either. But both Tiger Shark Guards are no match for Bing Hanbai. If Young Master Nangong stayed, it would only be humiliating. Leaving early saves some face."
"That’s right. Bing Hanbai’s strength is indeed terrifying. He truly deserves his reputation as one of the six great prodigies of the North Sea."
"I wonder who that girl is, for Young Master Nangong to say such things to Luo Feng."
"This person has awakened the Saint Soul, so she’s definitely not simple."
"Yes, she’s only a Martial Artist at the fourth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, yet she summoned the Heavenly Fate Turtle. That alone is terrifying. I’m afraid neither the North Sea Ice Palace nor the Nangong family will let this go. This person might ignite a bloody storm in the North Sea region, and Luo Feng getting involved with her could lead to utter disaster."
"If I were Luo Feng, I would immediately distance myself from this person..."
"That’s right. Luo Feng has comprehended the Grand Momentum and possesses such strength at a young age. He could become a regional hegemon in the future; what kind of woman couldn’t he have? Offending a colossal power like the Nangong family for a woman and risking his life would be far too foolish."
The nearby Martial Artists were all in heated discussion. Today’s decisive battle had been full of twists and turns. Everyone present felt as if their hearts were still suspended in mid-air, thumping wildly, unable to settle even though it was over.
Luo Feng gazed in the direction Young Master Nangong had departed, his eyes flickering. Suddenly, the sound of rushing air came from beside him.
SWOOSH!
A figure landed on the ruined dueling platform, bringing a chilling wind.
"Bing Hanbai!"
Yang Dingtian, Yue Chongshan, and the others looked at the sudden arrival. They were on guard as if facing a formidable enemy, their Yuan Qi surging wildly, eyes alert.
Bing Hanbai was unfazed. He glanced at Bing Ruolan, whose eyes were tightly closed, and asked,
"How is she?"
His icy tone sent a chill down everyone’s spine.
Luo Feng sensed no hostility from him. Furthermore, this man was also from the North Sea Ice Palace and had just repelled two experts from the Nangong family. He shouldn’t be an enemy. So, Luo Feng said,
"She has taken the Nine Turns Yin Yang Pill, and Elder Hai is currently treating her."
"The Nine Turns Yin Yang Pill..."
Bing Hanbai nodded, his gaze suddenly shifting to Luo Feng. His face was as cold as ice that hadn’t melted in a thousand years. "If anything happens to her, you’ll be the first I deal with."
Luo Feng didn’t know why the other party was so angered. He frowned slightly and asked, "Who are you?"
Bing Hanbai snorted coldly and stood aside, remaining silent. His eyes were fixed on the unconscious Bing Ruolan, not wavering for an instant.
Seeing that the other party did not answer, Luo Feng had no choice but to drop it. He too stood by and waited quietly, his expression serious.
"Feng Er, Ruolan will be fine..." Yang Qing walked to Luo Feng’s side and comforted him.
"Mm."
Luo Feng nodded, but there wasn’t the slightest relaxation on his face.
A quarter of an hour passed. PHEW... Elder Hai let out a long breath and finally withdrew his hand.
"Elder Hai, how is she?" Luo Feng asked anxiously.
Bing Hanbai finally looked up as well.
Elder Hai wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at Bing Ruolan, and said,
"The Nine Turns Yin Yang Pill is truly worthy of being a Sixth-Grade Spirit Pill. I’ve used its medicinal energy to seal her heart meridians. She should be out of mortal danger now. From here on, she’ll have to rely on herself to recover slowly."
"When will she be able to wake up...?" Luo Feng asked, feeling a wave of relief wash over him.
"I don’t know." Elder Hai shook his head regretfully. "She needs to rest quietly for a while. It would be best to find a place rich in Yuan Qi, as this will aid her recovery."
"Regardless, thank you for your help this time!" Luo Feng cupped his fists.
Elder Hai said, "Just remember what you said before."
"I will never forget."
Luo Feng nodded and then asked, "Is there anywhere near the Imperial City rich in Yuan Qi and suitable for recuperation?"
At this moment, Yue Haitang, who had been standing quietly to Luo Feng’s right, pursed her lips slightly and said,
"Luo Feng, take Bing Ruolan to my place. There’s a small branch of the Yuan Spirit Vein underneath the Cold Moon Marquis’s Mansion. It should be good for her recuperation."
"That’s excellent!"
Luo Feng excitedly grasped Yue Haitang’s shoulders and said joyfully, "Yue Haitang, thank you!"
"I... Bing Ruolan... she is also my friend," Yue Haitang looked away and said softly.
AHEM...
Cold Moon Marquis Yue Chongshan coughed lightly, glanced at Luo Feng, and said, "We should not delay. Let’s set off now."
Countless rays of light shot into the sky one after another, disappearing into the clouds.
Groups of Martial Artists began to leave Phoenix Soaring Mountain.
Luo Feng had defeated Yi Tian, an expert from the New Dragon List. One of the six King Marquises, Azure Cloud Marquis, had been devoured by the Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle, and a Saint Soul had appeared... So many earth-shattering events had occurred today. The members of the various factions were all eager to report these matters back to their superiors.
In the crowd, Chi Wei, the Third Princess of the Dali Dynasty, watched Luo Feng from afar. Her pretty face was an icy mask, her lips pursed tightly. She snorted coldly, then turned to the four Red Armor Guards and said,
"Let’s go!"
