"I never imagined that the Holy Light Technique combined with the Bihua Spirit Pond Water could exert such powerful healing powers."

The chubby uncle sighed inwardly. Now, the chubby uncle felt grateful for meeting Lin Feng because Lin Feng had saved him and the female disciple from Phoenix Cliff before. In his heart, he truly represented the Six Great Sects in thanking Lin Feng. If the Six Great Sects could follow his lead in the future, they might be headed towards a hopeful situation.

There was a reason why he had to say this.

Just yesterday, he personally witnessed the Sect Leader of the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect, Lord Chang Xuan, in a fierce battle with the bandit leader dressed in black from the Desolate Realm. They were originally locked in a stalemate when suddenly a shadow came from an unknown direction. That shadow was even darker than the dark, as if it was nothingness itself, directly slicing through the surrounding air and attacking Lord Chang Xuan’s back. Although Lord Chang Xuan had focused his attention on the battle with the man in black, he sensed the incoming shadow in a split second and immediately took action to block it. Unfortunately, he was struck in the chest by the man in black, severing all his meridians and causing him to die from an explosion.

The man in black was also severely injured by this sudden explosion. The chubby uncle, who was fighting nearby, was also injured by the explosion, resulting in unconsciousness.

Then Lin Feng and his group arrived on horseback, heard someone speaking, which restored their senses and they opened their eyes.

Chapter 293: Spending a Night in the Canyon

Lin Feng, Wu Fa, and the newly-joined young lady waited at the foot of the cliff for a long time. Eventually, they saw the chubby uncle walking over slowly, possibly due to an upset stomach. Lin Feng smiled, took out a brown elixir from his brocade bag.

"This elixir is great for adjusting the stomach. Try taking it first."

The chubby uncle didn’t hesitate, quickly taking the elixir from Lin Feng’s hand. He felt indescribably embarrassed inside.

He exhaled a breath into the air, then took the spiritual horse handed to him by Wu Fa.

Wu Fa teasingly said, "Miss, we’ve known each other for so long, but I still don’t know your name. Could you kindly tell me so I can have a proper way to address you?"

Wu Fa appeared to be straightforward, but his mind was as clear as a mirror. The reason he asked was because he was suspicious of this young lady’s background. He feared she might be a spy from the Court or a traitor from the Desolate Realm. Although she was charming, that didn’t mean Wu Fa could let his guard down.

"I am Su Liqian, the first disciple of the Phoenix Cliff Sect Leader. How should I address the hero?"

The young lady claimed to be the first disciple of the Phoenix Cliff Sect Leader. After introducing herself, the chubby uncle riding beside Wu Fa nodded at him, as if secretly confirming that the young lady was indeed telling the truth.

The chubby uncle was, after all, the Squad Leader of the Illusion Sound Pavilion, so how could he lack common sense in judging people? Seeing the chubby uncle nodding, Wu Fa combined his own judgment and internally dismissed his suspicions about Su Liqian. He kindly said to Su Liqian:

"Miss, please don’t mind. This is how I’ve always done things. Hahaha..."

It seemed like Su Liqian had caught the underlying meaning of Wu Fa’s earlier words, so while introducing himself, Wu Fa also explained the tone he used before.

The two exchanged a smile, and the matter was then considered concluded.

When Lin Feng saw Wu Fa and the chubby uncle had mounted their horses, he generously invited the female disciple from Phoenix Cliff to ride with him on his spiritual horse. The spiritual horse was sturdy and could easily carry two people.

"How should I address the hero?"

Lin Feng calmly replied, his eyes gazing into the distance like a hint of starlight, so bright and clear.

"I am Lin Feng, just an ordinary teacher."

"You’re lying to me. How can ordinary folk have such excellent cultivation?"

Su Liqian was somewhat skeptical when she heard Lin Feng say he was just a teacher. His ability to fight off four men in black alone was something even her master might not guarantee. Since he didn’t elaborate, she did not continue to inquire.

Su Liqian lowered her fair forehead, saying nothing further.

All four of them were now riding on the spiritual horse. The chubby uncle began recounting to Lin Feng and Wu Fa how the young lady had saved him and healed him on the way. Traveling like this didn’t feel as dull. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

As night approached, they gradually reached the edge of the desert. The spiritual horse was swift, and with another half day’s journey, they would be able to exit the canyon and make their way into the forest of the Giant Wood Treant Clan.

Seeing that night was approaching, Lin Feng halted the horse.

He said to Wu Fa and the chubby uncle, "We’ve traveled all day, and night is falling. Perhaps we should find a place nearby to shelter from the wind and continue our journey tomorrow."

Wu Fa and the chubby uncle turned their heads to look at Lin Feng in front of them. At this moment, the girl sitting on his back was already asleep. The two of them shook their heads, saying no more.

Seeing the girl already asleep, Lin Feng decided to find a place to rest on the spot. This way, they could recuperate and be ready for the dangers that might come tomorrow. They could also stop to analyze the current situation.

The chubby uncle, skilled in terrain scouting, quickly found a wind-sheltered spot and lit a small fire. He gently placed the sleeping Su Liqian beside the fire. Seeing the girl already asleep, Lin Feng draped his fur cloak over her. With his current cultivation, he wouldn’t feel cold at all. Although the temperature difference in the desert between day and night was significant, thanks to the chubby uncle’s fire, there was at least some warmth.
