The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1276: I Heard the Murong Clans Vault is Quite Wealthy
The sight of three Human Emperors using the Three Talents Formation to deal with a mere junior at the Spiritual Element Realm level dumbfounded everyone from the surrounding Murong Clan.
This young man was simply too heaven-defying!
What was even more baffling was that a wall of fire surrounded Ling Feng's body, protecting him. No matter how the three Human Emperors attacked, they couldn't even damage a corner of Ling Feng's clothes.
Before long, Ling Feng summoned the Eradicator of Realms. The sword soul appeared, executing Eight Swords As One, knocking the three Human Emperors out of the sky.
One against three, and within half an hour, the three Human Emperors were utterly defeated!
"Pfft!"
The Sea Emperor violently spat out a mouthful of blood, staring at Ling Feng with deep shock. He never expected that in less than ten days, Ling Feng had gained such a great opportunity that his strength had become formidable to this extent.
That wall of fire was utterly unreasonable. It completely negated the combined attacks of the three of them. With that fire wall present, Ling Feng was practically invincible.
"Wait... wait a moment!"
The Sea Emperor finally panicked. Seeing Ling Feng approaching step by step, he quickly said, "Young Hero Ling, there is a saying that every wrong has its cause and every debt its holder. The ones who bear grudges against you are the Venerable of the Desolate Sea and his granddaughter. Now that the Venerable of the Desolate Sea is dead and Murong Zining is right here, if you must seek revenge, you should find her!"
"Hehe. So I was a 'brat' when you thought you could win, and now that you're defeated, I'm a 'Young Hero.' Your nerve, old man, is truly thicker than a city wall!"
Ling Feng glanced at the Sea Emperor disdainfully. To save his life, this old man actually stooped to such shameless words.
"Yes, yes, yes." The Sea Emperor nodded repeatedly. Compared to his life, what was face worth?
"Hmph!"
Ling Feng gave a light snort, deeming that killing these scumbags would merely dirty his hands. He then fixed his sharp gaze on the Sea Emperor. "I did not come here to seek revenge."
"Then... then why are you here, Young Hero Ling? If I can grant it, I will agree to anything!" the Sea Emperor stammered, swallowing hard and looking utterly terrified.
"I heard the Murong Clan's vault is quite wealthy, isn't it?" Ling Feng smiled faintly.
"Understood, understood. The Murong Clan's vault is your vault!"
The Sea Emperor trembled violently. How could he not understand Ling Feng's meaning? As for the Ice Emperor and the Thunder Emperor, they were so terrified their souls nearly fled, regretting only that they hadn't dealt with this boy sooner.
Ling Feng casually tossed out a pill formula, nudged his chin, and said flatly, "Prepare ten sets of materials according to the list on this formula first!"
The Sea Emperor scrambled to pick up the pill formula. After reading the materials listed, he nearly fainted on the spot. "Heav... Heavenly Dragon Fruit, Green... Green Cloud Grass, Nine... Ni... Nine..."
"Nine nine nine, nine what? Old man, can't you even read the characters?" Ling Feng glared at the Sea Emperor, instantly scaring the soul out of him. He quickly replied, "I can read them! I can read them!"
His heart was practically bleeding. Although the Heavenly Dragon Fruit and Green Cloud Grass were extremely rare herbs in the Inner Sea, they were nothing compared to the Nine Yang Soul Condensing Flower.
The problem was that even a single flower was hard to come by, how could they possibly gather ten sets?
Pleading with a bitter expression, the Sea Emperor stammered: "Young... Young Hero Ling, the other materials are manageable, but for the Nine... Nine Yang Soul Condensing Flower, even searching the entire Tianhuang City would only yield one!"
"Oh?" Ling Feng's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "So you can't gather them all? Are you trying to make me lose my temper?"
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!" Large beads of sweat rolled down the Sea Emperor's forehead. He quickly suggested, "Young Hero Ling, how about substituting the missing flowers with elemental stones?"
"Elemental stones won't do. Elemental crystals will be close enough." Ling Feng frowned deeply, as if he himself were suffering a huge loss. "This is only because you ran into a kindhearted person like me. Otherwise, I wouldn't even agree to elemental crystals."
"Yes... yes..."
The Sea Emperor's mouth twitched. Kindhearted? What a joke. You bleed people dry and don't even leave the bones behind.
Why don't you just fly to heaven!
However, the Sea Emperor absolutely dared not voice that thought. He quickly sent men to mobilize the clan's vault. While gathering the herbs, they tallied the elemental crystals. After half an hour of frantic activity, everything was finally prepared.
Ling Feng casually glanced at the haul, tossing the elemental crystals and herbs into his storage spirit ring. He then nodded and said flatly, "Injustice brings ruin upon the perpetrator. You old men had better remember that."
"Yes..."
The Sea Emperor, the Ice Emperor, and the Thunder Emperor felt their hearts bleed as they watched Ling Feng moving the small mountain of elemental crystals.
This was the bulk of the wealth the Murong Clan had accumulated over the past few centuries. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
The vast Murong Clan had been completely emptied, with nothing left but the large mansion. Although the three men were technically now in charge, they hadn't profited a single hair in the grand scheme of things.
"What? By the look in your eyes, you don't seem convinced. Do you want another round?"
Ling Feng frowned, seeing the men's dejected and heartbroken expressions, which made them look as if their fathers had just died.
"We wouldn't dare!"
The Sea Emperor quickly forced a smile. "It is our fortune, as old men, that Young Hero Ling would accept this small token of our sincerity!"
"Yes, Young Hero Ling honoring us with his presence has truly brought glory to the Murong Mansion..."
The Ice Emperor wanted to weep but had to force a smile, a sight worse than crying.
"You are welcome to visit often, Young Hero Ling!"
The Thunder Emperor's face was long and full of misery. He could only swallow his bitterness, even as he ground his teeth to powder.
Ling Feng gave a light snort, his gaze falling on Murong Zining, who lay on the ground with only half a breath of life left.
...
On a desolate island.
Murong Zining cried out in pain. When she woke up, the person standing before her made her tremble all over.
"It... it's you!"
"Yes. Since you're awake, goodbye."
Ling Feng rose, too lazy to look at the woman any further, and turned to leave.
Murong Zining bit her lip tightly.
She wasn't stupid, and she knew she was still alive only because of the man standing before her.
The very man she wholeheartedly hated had actually become her life-saving benefactor!
Ling Feng stood tall, simply waved to Tuoba Yan, and released Zifeng, preparing to depart.
With the herbs secured, the next step was to find a quiet spot to refine the medicinal pill required for his king-tier breakthrough. Using the pill's power, he planned to break straight through to the Spiritual Sea Realm!
Murong Zining watched Ling Feng's retreating figure, the bitterness in her heart intensifying. He won't even spare me a single word?
"Ling Feng! Don't think I'll thank you! I will never thank you, I won't thank you!"
Lowering her head, Murong Zining's eyes were already full of tears.
Ling Feng paused for a moment and shrugged as if it did not matter. He leapt onto Zifeng's back together with Tuoba Yan, leaving behind only a light remark.
"Do as you please. Saving you was no different from saving a stray cat or dog. Life is precious. If nothing else, stay alive for your grandfather's sake."
Murong Zining's delicate body trembled. She remained silent for a long time. It wasn't until Ling Feng had completely disappeared that she finally raised her head and choked out a whispered, "Tha... thank you, thank you..."
She had not yet realized that the storage spirit ring that had been taken from her was now back in her possession.
