Chapter 34: I Will Remember This Name!

"My name is Ling Feng."

Ling Feng's memories gradually became clearer as he recalled the pursuit by Xiao Qinggang and others, leading him to reopen the Asura's Eye.

He remembered slaying many demonic beasts following that. Eventually, he lost his footing, tumbled into the water, and upon waking up, discovered himself in this unfamiliar place.

"Thank you both for saving my life."

Ling Feng checked his condition and discovered only minor bruises on his hands and feet, with no significant injuries.

Additionally, an unknown medicinal energy circulated within his dantian and qihai. This medicinal potency was comparable to the spiritual power found in the Sunfire Crimson Fruit. Refining this medicinal energy could potentially elevate his cultivation to a higher realm.

Astonished, Ling Feng wondered about the identities of the two women. Despite being strangers, they generously provided him with such precious items for healing.

Of course, while these items held great value for him, their rarity and significance might not be as pronounced for the women.

"Oh, saving a life is no small matter, a mere "thank you" just doesn't cut it," Qiao Qiao wrinkled her nose at Ling Feng, shaking her head. "No, no, it's not sufficient. It lacks sincerity."

Ling Feng's expression paused as he sat up from the ground. He looked at Qiao Qiao, then at Yue Yunlan, finding himself momentarily perplexed by the young ladies before him.

Gratitude for saving one's life should indeed not be taken lightly, but considering he had nothing of significant value, could he really offer himself in return?

"Enough, Qiao Qiao, stop teasing him," Yue Yunlan rolled her eyes, a trace of resignation flashing in her gaze. Despite their master-servant relationship, they shared a sisterly bond, and Yue Yunlan often found herself unable to rein in the mischievous girl.

Qiao Qiao stuck out her tongue, obediently stepping back a few steps.

"Mr Ling, am I right?" Yue Yunlan's gaze fixed on Ling Feng's eyes as she inquired calmly, "How did you end up falling from the waterfall?"

Though Ling Feng was reluctant to deceive the one who saved his life, he couldn't disclose the matter of the Emperor's Eye casually. He had to craft a tale, explaining, "During my training in the vast wilderness mountains, I unintentionally encountered a group of demonic beasts. After fighting until I was exhausted, I leaped into a river, and that's how I ended up drifting here with the current."

"Hmm, that does sound reasonable," Yue Yunlan nodded slightly. Despite harboring some suspicions, she chose not to inquire further.

"In any case, I must extend my thanks to the two young ladies. May I inquire about your names?"

"My surname is Yue, and my name is Yunlan," said Yue Yunlan as her vermilion lips softly parted. With a brief, subdued look at Ling Feng, she then retracted her gaze. "Since you are unharmed, Mr Ling, and I have pressing matters, let us bid farewell here."

"Yue Yunlan... the misty clouds and graceful peaks, they carry their own refined allure."

Ling Feng looked deeply into Yue Yunlan's eyes and uttered slowly, "I will remember this name."

"Remembering won't help you, you know, our miss is..."

"Qiao Qiao!"

At the same time, on the other end of the deep forest, a group of practitioners appeared.

Seven individuals, consisting of five males and two females, were uniformly attired, each shouldering a three-foot Qingfeng sword. They appeared relatively young, with the oldest among them looking to be in their early twenties.

At the forefront strode a strikingly handsome man, wearing a white jade crown. With a tall and imposing figure, he radiated a dignified presence. Between the opening and closing of his eyes, a sharp brilliance gleamed, revealing an intense and compelling sharpness.

This person was, in fact, a qi cultivator at the tenth stage of Qi Formation!

"Senior brother Li deserves our gratitude this time. Without him, we might have perished under the demonic claws of the Blackwind Demonic Bull!" spoke a female swordsman on the left with a delicate tone. Her beautiful eyes remained fixed on the leading man, brimming with admiration and affection.

This female swordsman possessed an above-average appearance, yet her figure was voluptuous, accentuated by the disciple's uniform that traced exaggerated curves on her body. Between her eyebrows and eyes, a captivating allure further enhanced her charm.

In comparison, the other female disciple appeared much more ordinary.

Senior Brother Li clearly enjoyed the admiration in the eyes around him, casually assessing the woman's well-defined figure with a sidelong glance. Chuckling, he said, "Junior Sister Li[1], what are you talking about? As a senior brother, it's my duty to protect everyone!"

"Senior Brother Li truly lives up to being sword elder's last disciple[2], demonstrating formidable swordsmanship that sets him apart in the world!" Another disciple chimed in, praising, "Including Wenxian Sect and Qiankun Sect as the three major sects in the Xianzong Mountains alongside our Liuyun Sword Sect is utterly laughable. Clearly, they haven't witnessed Senior Brother Li's remarkable abilities!"

"Without a doubt, Senior Brother Li, with a single stroke of his sword, could effortlessly sweep through every inner disciple from both sects!"

"Haha, not at all!" A hint of pride adorned Senior Li's face. "But mark my words, there will come a day when I'll sweep through the Wenxian Sect and Qiankun Sect, making them realize that in the Xianzong Mountains, only our Liuyun Sword Sect stands unrivaled. Those two sects are merely fit to trail behind, carrying our shoes!"

"On that day, as a junior brother, I will personally carry the sword for Senior Brother!"

"I'll be there, cheering for Senior Brother!"

"I'll warm the bed for Senior Brother!"

...

The group enthusiastically praised Senior Li, leaving him disoriented about his surroundings.

At that moment, a quieter disciple from the Liuyun Sword Sect beside them suddenly spoke up, "Senior Brother Li, there's someone ahead!"

"Hmm?" Senior Li lifted his gaze, and indeed, there appeared a raggedly dressed youth at the far end of the dense forest.

"It appears to be attire similar to that of Wenxian Sect disciples!" A cold smile graced Senior Li's lips as he strode briskly towards the figure.

"Is it a disciple from the Wenxian Sect who's on his own? How intriguing, hehe..."

The others joined in, their eyes carrying a playful and mocking glint. This was about to get interesting!

1. Senior Brother Li and Junior Sister Li do not share the same surname Li, they are not related by blood. ☜

2. It literally means the last disciple of a master. ☜
