Chapter 2120 - 2121: Crisis in Miluo! (Second Update)

After casually asking a few more questions, the Supreme Elders sent Ling Feng and Jiang Kun away.

Once Jiang Kun and Ling Feng had left, the Third Palace Master, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke in a low voice, "It seems that the external passage has become increasingly unstable. In recent years, more and more martial artists from outside have appeared in the Mi Luo Continent!"

Indeed, the Third Palace Master had immediately noticed that Ling Feng was a martial artist from outside.

After all, in the Mi Luo Continent, no Demon Clan could employ such a terrifying sealing skill like "Soul Sealing."

"News from the Kongming Divine Race suggests it’s because Mi Luo Continent is too close to Xuanling Continent, drawing the star core, which causes changes in the power of heaven and earth, making the time-space channel increasingly unstable!"

The Great Elder’s face darkened, and he slowly said, "Perhaps in a few hundred years, Mi Luo Continent will collide with Xuanling Continent, and by then, Mi Luo Continent will cease to exist!"

"The Kongming Divine Race claims to be a high-level divine clan that manipulates the power of time-space, yet they can’t even control the star core. I really wonder why our Pure Yang Palace provides them with so many elixirs every year, only to sustain a bunch of useless beings!"

A square-faced Supreme Elder murmured angrily.

"Elder Yean, you mustn’t say such things irresponsibly."

The Third Palace Master sighed softly, paused for a moment, and continued, "Even if the Kongming Divine Race is incompetent, they are the only race capable of guiding the power of the star core. When the final moment comes, and Mi Luo Continent is certain to be destroyed, we will still need to rely on the power of the Kongming Divine Race to travel to Xuanling Continent!"

"Humph, if it weren’t for this reason, who would be willing to appease those self-important divine races!"

The square-faced Elder clenched his fist and muttered, "Always boasting about their divine race, they really fancy themselves as gods!"

Apparently, the entire Mi Luo Continent is facing a gigantic crisis, yet Ling Feng was unaware of it.

Only these figures standing at the peak have some knowledge of it.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Ling Feng, my young friend, I had hoped to give you a surprise, but unfortunately..."

Jiang Kun led Ling Feng out of the Pure Yang Hall and couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

"Senior Jiang has gone out of his way to help me, I am already deeply grateful!"

Ling Feng bowed earnestly to Jiang Kun, smiling sincerely at the elder who seemed cold at first glance.

"Too bad, I couldn’t help you at all."

Jiang Kun shook his head and then comforted, "But you don’t need to lose heart. Even if you can’t continue with cultivation, with your current strength, few can rival you. Moreover, you can become an alchemist; alchemists are highly respected everywhere!"

Ling Feng smiled faintly.

Lose heart?

I wouldn’t waste time on such trivial emotions.

"Don’t worry, Senior, I won’t give up!"

A gleam flashed in Ling Feng’s eyes, even if those Saint Level Supreme Elders said there’s no cure for him, chaotic power and creation power made returning to the peak possible!

No one can dictate my destiny unless I give up myself!

"I’m reassured if you think this way!"

Jiang Kun patted Ling Feng’s shoulder, smiled, and said, "Come on, I’ll take you to the Elixir Sect. After all, you’ve received the Elixir King Token, joining the Inner Sect won’t be a problem."

"Thank you, Senior!"

Ling Feng bowed to Jiang Kun once more, secretly remembering Jiang Kun’s kindness, and vowed to repay it in the future if he gets the chance.

Before long, with Jiang Kun offering assistance and Ling Feng holding an Elixir King Token, the formalities were swiftly completed, and Ling Feng officially became an Inner Sect disciple of the Elixir Sect.

Not only that, Ling Feng also once again met Master Tao Hong.

"Ling Feng, gave you a month to report to the Elixir Sect, why are you arriving so late?"

Although Tao Hong was curious about why Ling Feng was with Jiang Kun, he nonetheless questioned him first.

This fellow is truly incorrigible, refusing to accept me as his master is one thing, but missing the agreed reporting deadline by a whole month!

Due to participating in the Sword Sect selection, Ling Feng’s reporting to the Elixir Sect happened one month and a day later!

If it weren’t for Jiang Kun’s presence, Ling Feng might not have successfully become a disciple of the Elixir Sect.

"You really should ask your good disciple about that!"

Ling Feng pursed his lips and casually placed a letter on the table.

The front cover of the letter bore Master Tao Hong’s signature, but inside...

Tao Hong looked through the letter and immediately frowned, "Who gave you this letter?"

"It... it was a disciple!"

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a green-clad man entered the room on his knees, repeatedly kowtowing, "Master, the disciple was just upset for a moment. This kid is simply insufferable, so I sought to get even for you!"

The green-clad man was naturally Tao Hong’s chief disciple, Zhuo Ming.

He had been eavesdropping outside, realizing he couldn’t conceal the matter, so he hurriedly came forward to admit his mistake, hoping Tao Hong might show leniency.

"Pure nonsense!"

Tao Hong was so furious he almost blew his beard and glared at Zhuo Ming, just about to punish him when someone else ran in from outside and knelt beside Zhuo Ming, eyes red, saying, "Master, the disciple was aware of this matter too, if you’re punishing people, then punish me as well!"

"You, XueQin, how come even you joined in doing such foolishness!"

Tao Hong looked at the female disciple Fu Xueqing, who had always been more cautious and prudent than Zhuo Ming, winning his deep respect, yet this time she followed Zhuo Ming into mischief.

However, he understood that ultimately, Zhuo Ming was acting on his own.

Indeed, the disciples were driven by filial piety, yet their methods were truly foolish!

And this matter was witnessed by Jiang Kun, a Sword Sect Elder. If there’s favoritism, it won’t reflect well.

"Humph!"

Tao Hong snorted coldly, speaking in an icy tone, "You two troublemakers, bearing in mind this is your first offense, I’m sentencing you to retreat to Siwang Cliff and reflect! Zhuo Ming, you will meditate for half a year; XueQin, you for one month! Execute now!"

"Yes!"

Both knelt and gave thanks, then exited the room, heading to Siwang Cliff.

"Hehe, now it’s Ling Feng who’s the victim, how they’re penalized should be decided by Ling Feng, right?"

Jiang Kun wore a mischievous expression, seemingly eager for chaos.

"I have no issue."

Ling Feng shook his head and chuckled, disinclined to confront Zhuo Ming who was but a petty figure.

"Given this was Zhuo Ming’s plotting, I apologize for wrongly blaming you."

Ling Feng’s conciliatory stance slightly pleased Tao Hong, who nodded, saying, "Starting today, you are an Inner Sect disciple of the Elixir Sect; since you haven’t yet taken a master, for now, you will reside at Luoxia Peak. Tomorrow by noon, report to Dan Yang Hall; you’ll be informed there about routine responsibilities of the Elixir Sect disciples."
