Chapter 44 - You are so poisonous!

“Bastard, what are you trying to do, being so forceful, do you want to kill me?”

Ling Feng shot up instantly with a “whoosh” and glared fiercely at Yun Zheng, whom he had just kicked away, bellowing loudly.

Within Yun Zheng’s heart, millions of curses raced by in an instant.

He hadn’t even touched Ling Feng, so where was this claim of excessive force coming from?

On the contrary, it was Ling Feng who had kicked his nose crooked, and blood was still flowing profusely from it.

“You!

You’ve gone too far!” Yun Zheng clenched his fists tightly, his eyes wide with rage, surrounded by a terrifying killing intent.

He was a prominent expert in the Magnetic Condensation Realm, his strength formidable enough to match that of an ordinary Elder.

He could easily crush someone at the Qi Condensation Realm like Ling Feng, who was nothing more than an ant to him, yet now he had to endure such humiliation here!

“It was clearly you who almost crushed my leg just now, and you still want to deny it!”

Ling Feng’s expression was equally filled with killing intent, and though everyone knew he was merely acting, they dared not expose him.heless continued with Ling Feng’s narrative.

Lin Canglang waved his sleeve broadly, and seven fierce Sword Qi burst forth, piercing through the chest with a series of loud “bang bang bang…” echoes.

Yun Zheng’s left chest burst open in a gruesome bloodied hole where his heart had been blasted to bits.

“Master, you—so—cruel—”

His voice abruptly ceased, Yun Zheng’s body thunderously fell to the ground, dead beyond any doubt.

Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched.

He had thought that Lin Canglang might at most concoct some absurd charge to confine Yun Zheng for a while, but he didn’t expect Lin Canglang to be even more sinister and malicious than he had imagined.

His own closed-door disciple was killed without even the blink of an eye.

Inside the hall, all the disciples struggled to swallow their saliva, some even unable to stop their legs from trembling slightly.

After a brief silence, someone immediately started clapping, “Served him right!

He dared to disrespect Senior Ling Feng, he deserved to die!”

“Exactly, I always thought he wasn’t any good, always so full of himself and only knew how to harass female disciples in the sect.

Sect Leader did the right thing by executing him!”

Ling Feng curled his lip, feeling sorry for Yun Zheng.

These henchmen, always following and flattering him, did any of them even consider that Yun Zheng’s body hadn’t even cooled yet, and here they were, saying he deserved such a splendid death.

Lin Canglang took a deep breath, his expression unchanged, and said lightly: “Alright, you few, take care of the body!”

“Yes.” Those few disciples hurriedly carried away Yun Zheng’s body, leaving only Ling Feng, Lin Canglang, Lee Liang, and Yang Wei in the vast hall.

Lin Canglang’s eyes bore into Ling Feng’s, thinking to himself: You sly boy, such clever tactics!

With just a few words, you forced me to compromise and personally eliminate a trusted disciple!

Humph, but let’s not forget, your life is still in this Sect Leader’s hands!

Ling Feng, of course, knew what Lin Canglang was thinking.

Unfortunately, he was still naive, unaware that he had already expelled the Golden Silkworm Gu Poison from his system.

“Ling Feng, this is the antidote for the Golden Silkworm Gu Poison you’ve had this month.”

Lin Canglang carelessly tossed a porcelain bottle over to Ling Feng, who caught it, feigning urgency.

He quickly opened the porcelain bottle and swallowed the elixir inside.

“Now that you’ve swallowed the antidote, you won’t suffer from the effects of the Golden Silkworm Gu Poison for a month.”

Lin Canglang turned and walked back to the Sect Leader’s Throne, secretly pleased: You think just because you’ve gotten close to the Miss of the Cangqiong Sect, I can’t handle you?

This antidote is just a reminder—don’t get too cocky!

“Sect Leader, why not completely rid me of the Golden Silkworm Gu Poison?” Ling Feng looked up, his brow furrowed.

“That will depend on your performance,” Lin Canglang replied with a light smile.

“Now that Yun Zheng is dead, as long as you secure the Sword Scripture from Duanmu Qingshan, you will be my True Disciple, and the position of Sect Leader will be yours in the future.

As long as you loyally serve me, I will ensure you live a long and prosperous life!”

“Of course.” Ling Feng nodded and said gravely, “However, despite my subtle probing, Duanmu Qingshan stated he will only teach me the Sword Scripture once I reach the Magnetic Condensation Realm.”

“No rush, with the Qi Enhancement Pill that I have bestowed upon you, within half a year…,” Lin Canglang sized up Ling Feng and suddenly his eyelids twitched, “You…you have already reached the Qi Condensation Seventh Stage?”

“By luck, just luck,” Ling Feng smiled.

“I went out for some training a few days ago.

I was fortunate enough to find a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Flower, which improved my cultivation by several layers.”

“I see,” Lin Canglang took a deep breath.

“Looks like, in less than half a year, maybe just three or four more months, you will reach Qi Condensation Ten Layers.”

Lin Canglang paused, then continued, “First tell me, what business did the Miss of the Cangqiong Sect have with Duanmu Qingshan?”

“It wasn’t much,” Ling Feng spoke indifferently.

“Duanmu Qingshan is known as the Duanmu Divine Doctor, so Miss Yue came to consult him about a strange illness.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know what the illness was in the end, so Miss Yue left directly.”

“Just like that?” Lin Canglang looked at Ling Feng, somewhat unconvinced.

“Sect Leader, my life is in your hands, would I dare to deceive you?

I certainly do not want to experience the effects of the Golden Silkworm Gu Poison again!”

“You better not dare!” Lin Canglang nodded, and his mind was finally at ease.

Since Duanmu Qingshan and the Cangqiong Sect had no connection, he felt relieved.

“Very well!

Hahaha…” Lin Canglang burst into laughter, and Yang Wei and Lee Liang obviously relaxed as well, since, even if borrowed a hundred sorts of courage, they wouldn’t dare to oppose the Cangqiong Sect.

Ling Feng thought to himself: Even without the help of the Cangqiong Sect, could you really handle a Duanmu Qingshan who has returned to his peak strength?

Just wait and see in a little over a month!

“Ling Feng, I genuinely intend to take you as my True Disciple, and this throne of the Sect Leader will definitely be reserved for you in the future.

I hope you will not disappoint me,” Lin Canglang laughed for a while, then pulled out another porcelain bottle from his sleeve and tossed it over.

“This bottle contains the Xuanyuann Forging Pulse Pill, which will cleanse and strengthen your Eight Extraordinary Vessels, knowing that you have recently cultivated the Rock Body.

With this elixir, your efforts will surely double!”

“Thank you, Sect Leader!” Ling Feng secured the Xuanyuann Forging Pulse Pill.

Lin Canglang indeed knew the principle of “carrot and stick,” alternating between kindness and severity, expecting him to loyally serve.

Pity, he chose the wrong person!
