Dragon Emperor, Martial God Chapter 700 - Salvation

Chapter 700: Salvation

On the evening of the Qingming Festival, the Immortal Spiritual Energy was reinstated in the Emperor Brush, pus.h.i.+ng Ling Yun to Qi Cultivation Level Nine. At that time, Tian Jiu shouted in public that Ling Yun was holding the Emperor Brush.

After killing Tian Jiu and others, Ling Yun had used his strong divine sense to cast the Mystical Dragon Howl, wiping away the memories of everyone present to varying degrees. However, there were a few exceptions.

The few exceptions, of course, included Cao Shanshan.

Cao Shanshan knew that Ling Yun owned the Emperor Brush, and she had witnessed Ling Yun’s form under the Protection of the Nine Dragons. Had she been put under the hypnosis of the Evil Eye, then surely she would have given his biggest secrets away!

Ling Yun, knowing that things weren’t in his favor, contemplated ways to find and rescue her tonight.

After lunch, Ling Yun gave Tang Meng a call, instructing him to buy as much silver in the Qingshui market as possible, along with dozens of medicinal herbs to bring to him.

Those were the medicinal herbs that Ling Yun had stored in Mansion Number One, which had been absorbing the spiritual energy in the mansion. Now, Ling Yun needed them to craft some special talismans, such as the Gravity Manipulation Talisman, the Speed Talisman, and the Explosiveness Talisman.

In order to fight against the Blood Clan members capable of flight, Ling Yun had to boost his speed.

After the call, Ling Yun handed both Paul and Chester a check for one hundred million to spend at their own liberty, then he went back to his room and started cultivating.

After coming to the capital, Ling Yun had been wandering in the western part of Beijing. After visiting the northern suburbs of Beijing today, he had realized that most places in Beijing didn’t have spiritual energy as intense as the energy in Qingshui City.

Due to the excessive number of cars, people, skysc.r.a.pers, and carbon monoxide, the air in Beijing was too corrupted to be filled with spiritual energy.

However, Ling Yun could clearly feel that in the center region of the capital, the southeast corner of the capital, and beyond the wilderness of the northern suburbs, the spiritual energy was outstandingly rich — far richer than Qingshui Lake back in Qingshui City.

Since he couldn’t take in the surrounding spiritual energy, for the time being, Ling Yun had to stop cultivating his Divine Yang Cultivation Technique and work on cultivating his Yin-Yang harmony balance and the Black Yellow Sutra. When it was sunrise or sunset, he would then direct all his focus on the Stellar Condensation Technique.

The night came soon enough. After dinner, Ling Yun switched into his nocturnal clothing and instructed Paul to stay and look after the house. Then he left with Chester and headed straight for the Cao Family residence.

Tracing Chen Jianwei using the thousand-mile soul chasing powder had to start from the Cao Family residence, where he escaped from.

“Boss, why the visit? I thought that d*mned Chen Jianwei would never return…” Chester asked puzzledly.

The thousand-mile soul chasing powder Ling Yun used on Chen Jianwei was virtually undetectable. Even Ling Yun could only detect trace smells and follow in the general direction of his escape.

“Chester, the game tonight is Tom and Jerry. Let’s head to Zhengnan… ”

After that, the two left the backyard of the Cao Family, went to the car, and headed south.

Chester drove the silver-gray car devilishly fast, and the two quickly got out of the fourth ring and arrived at the south of the capital.

Ling Yun had Chester stop the car once more. He set the range of his divine sense to the maximum and found the smell coming from the southeast direction.

“Go to the southeast.”

The further southeast they headed, the stronger the smell. Ling Yun could feel it through the open car window, and he instructed Chester every mile along the way.

The two stopped in front of a large house. Ling Yun observed the house in its entirety and sneered. “It seems that Chen Jianwei has stayed in this large house for a very long time…”

Ling Yun let Chester drive the silver-gray car to a hidden spot and wait for him as he masked his face with a cloth and flew into the house under the cover of night.

d.a.m.n, the Chen Family does have quite some a.s.sets… It looked ordinary from the outside. Only after you walk inside do you realize how extravagant and luxurious the house is…

Scanning a few rooms with his divine sense, Ling Yun quickly realized that the large house was used to detain people.

The majority of them were women. There were fifty to sixty of them in the entire front yard, and every house had seven or eight of them. Their ages ranged from mid-teens to thirties, and their eyes were sluggish — obvious signs of manipulation by Chen Jianwei’s Evil Eye.

d.a.m.n, it’s no wonder his strength skyrocketed, he has been sucking blood from all of them!

Ling Yun was enraged and troubled over the backgrounds of the ladies.

Apparently, after Chen Jianwei was severely wounded in the battle against Ling Yun, this was his first destination. Leeching off the blood of all of them, he could accelerate his rate of recovery.

However, Ling Yun could tell that these women were only sucked by Chen Jianwei and weren’t yet under The Embrace. He knew that Chen Jianwei wouldn’t dare to create countless undead members of the Blood Clan, as once the situation had gone awry and the members made themselves known, the Heavenly Team would surely come and apprehend him.

His affluence has lured so many women to provide for his cultivation… Furthermore, the Evil Eye has made them captive under him and suppressed any will to escape…

The Chen Family was indeed going for the one opportunity to catapult themselves through the ranks of the big families.

Nothing much was found in the front yard, so Ling Yun scanned the backyard with his divine sense. He was instantly stupefied!

Just as Chen Sen had said, the southern part of the house, where the martial arts masters of the Chen Family stayed, was right here!

There were at least a hundred people, the weakest being at the peak of Houtian Realm Level Eight, and the strongest at realms which even Ling Yun couldn’t recognize. It was apparent that they had grouped themselves by clans, comprising over ten rooms with a different clan in each.

However, due to his strong divine sense, the Yin-Yang harmony balance within Ling Yun had kept his spiritual energy perfectly hidden and undetectable from the others.

Circ.u.mventing the strongest masters, he sneakily circled the yard and soon discovered a bigger secret!

Second Uncle Ling Yue!

Ling Yue was locked up in a separate black room. He wasn’t tied up, but it was obvious that people had struck his acupuncture points. He seemed to have lost his spirit, devoid of all gravitas that a Houtian Realm master should have.

Ling Yun had seen Ling Yue in a photo before and could tell instantly that it was his second uncle. Then and there, a cauldron of fire brewed inside his heart, as his prediction had come true.

It was indeed the Chen Family!

Not only did the Chen Family harm the Cao Family, but they also sought to exterminate the decimated Ling Family, grabbing hold of his father and second uncle!

Despite his anger, there was virtually no fluctuation in his breath and energy as he carefully looked for his father with his divine sense. Nevertheless, he was disappointed.

There was no trace of Ling Xiao in the entire yard. It seemed that Ling Xiao and Ling Yue were kept in separate places.

What to do…

Several thoughts flashed before Ling Yun as he contemplated whether he should rescue his uncle first.

If he did, it would surely alarm the enemy and endanger his father.

However, turning a blind eye on his uncle here would be an action unjustifiable to his grandpa tonight.

Now he was stuck.

I have to rescue Uncle here. The Chen Family will surely not act recklessly concerning my father, given the consequences. Furthermore, I won’t understand the situation nor the intent if I just leave.

Ling Yun thought about everything and decided to gamble. He sneakily crept to the door of the little black house, gently raised his hand, and shattered the lock into a powder. He then pushed the door and rushed in.

Ling Yun was too light and swift, and Ling Yue hadn’t noticed him until he had come into the house.

Ling Yun appeared in front of Ling Yue and tapped his acupuncture points, saying through telepathy, “Don’t say anything, I’m here to save you!”

Afraid of revealing his ident.i.ty, he had put on the hoa.r.s.e voice and accent of an elder.

Once Ling Yue’s acupuncture points were released, he regained his freedom and looked at Ling Yun with incredulity. How skilled was this masked man to deflect the attention of all the Xiantian Realm masters and get into here?

Sensing Ling Yue’s doubts, he once again spoke through telepathy, saying, “I’ll explain everything once we get out of here, just follow me for now!”

After that, Ling Yun flashed out of the little black house, stood his ground, and waved to Ling Yue.

Nonetheless, however meticulous he was, Ling Yun had missed out on one thing.

Ling Yue wasn’t skilled enough!

Ling Yue stood up and walked out of the door. The moment he moved, Ling Yun knew it was over!

“Who’s there?” Dozens of exclamations echoed through the buildings simultaneously, and seven to eight people had jumped down from their rooms, some even by smas.h.i.+ng through the window panes and door hinges.

Upon recognizing Ling Yun’s face, Ling Yue’s facial expression changed drastically as he hastily told Ling Yun through telepathy, “Faster, escape! They won’t kill me!”

Seeing that his cover was blown, he calmed down instead.

What else could he do? It was time to fight!

“Mr. Ling, please return to the house and stay for a while. Don’t worry, I will call you out once it’s over and rescue you from this place, I promise!” Ling Yun directly told Ling Yue with a hoa.r.s.e voice.
