Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1176 - 1173: At the Foot of Spiritual Spring Mountain!
Before the voice fell, Li Chen’s fingertips released two streams of flames, shooting straight into Muu Lingtian’s eyes.
"Ah!"
Muu Lingtian felt a sharp burning sensation in his eyes, and after letting out a heartrending scream, he fainted directly.
"Lingtian, Lingtian..."
The Red Sun Marquis was shocked and horrified to see Li Chen act so brazenly, ignoring Baihua Palace’s reputation, and readily attacking his son. He rushed over quickly.
At this moment, an elderly man with white hair quickly stepped forward to check Muu Lingtian’s pulse.
"Marquis, the Young Marquis is temporarily safe, but his eyes were completely burnt, I’m afraid..."
Midway through his words, the old man hesitated and stopped speaking.
However, anyone with sense knew what he wanted to express with the unspoken words.
Hearing the old man’s remarks, the Red Sun Marquis was filled with rage.
Soon, he laughed angrily and said "good" three times.
"Good, good, good. Today I’ll remember this debt, and I will repay it double someday!"
Li Chen brushed his sleeve and said coldly: "Consider today a small lesson. If you dare to provoke me again, it won’t be as simple as losing your eyes. I will ensure that your entire Red Sun Marquis Mansion disappears from Greedy Wolf Star!"
After speaking, he turned to Ji Lingling, who was dumbfounded, and said something.
"Ling’er, let’s go!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Ji Lingling snapped back to reality, quickly responded, and ran to catch up.
As Li Chen and Ji Lingling departed, they left behind the people of Red Sun Marquis Mansion and the city observers in the cold wind, confused.
After a long while, a guard quickly approached. He carefully considered his words and tentatively asked: "Marquis, should we pursue them?"
However, before the guard could finish his sentence, the Red Sun Marquis glared at him angrily, scaring him out of his wits. He quickly bowed and apologized to avoid any repercussions.
"Send someone to Baihua Palace, inform the young lady of what happened, and ask her to avenge Lingtian!"
"Yes, Marquis!"
After arranging everything, the Red Sun Marquis directed his gaze toward Li Chen who was disappearing into the distance.
His hawk-like eyes immediately burned with rage.
"Hmph, I want to see how you’ll erase my entire Red Sun Marquis Mansion from Greedy Wolf Star?"
...
Leaving Tianyang City, heading straight east leads to the territory of Spiritual Spring Mountain.
Spiritual Spring Sect is located on Spiritual Spring Mountain.
Arriving at the base of the mountain, one can feel the rich spiritual energy lingering halfway up Spiritual Spring Mountain from a distance.
There’s also a small stream running from the mountain top down to the ravine, which from afar resembles a fairy’s sash crossing Spiritual Spring Mountain.
This mountain was named Spiritual Spring Mountain because it houses a spiritual spring!
Moreover, Li Chen could keenly sense that the stream’s water emitted a dense spiritual power.
Even these ordinary mountain stream waters are so rich in energy, so the spring source must have mysteries of its own.
Thinking of this, a rare smile appeared on Li Chen’s lips.
After days on Greedy Wolf Star, this was the first thing to truly pique his interest!
"Mister, you finally smiled!"
Just then, Ji Lingling’s voice, as clear as a yellow warbler, suddenly sounded.
Li Chen was startled, immediately concealed his smile, and looked at Ji Lingling with a puzzled expression.
Ji Lingling was startled by Li Chen’s gaze and quickly looked away, speaking softly, "Mister, you have a charming and attractive smile, why are you always so stern?"
Faced with this question, Li Chen was momentarily unsure of how to respond.
Just as the scene was getting awkward, several young men in matching outfits quickly surrounded them.
"Halt, this is a sacred place of Spiritual Spring Sect, outsiders may not enter without permission!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Lingling hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "My name is Ji Lingling, from Tianyang City. I’ve come to Spiritual Spring Mountain to find my uncle Ji Hongguang, a deacon of your Spiritual Spring Sect. I hope the senior brothers can deliver the message!"
As for Li Chen, he stood aside as if everything before him had nothing to do with him.
Upon hearing Ji Lingling’s soft voice and seeing her sweet appearance, and knowing she was the niece of Deacon Ji Hongguang, the lead disciple’s tone immediately softened, even showing a friendly smile.
"So it’s Ling’er Junior Sister, I’ve heard from Steward Ji about you, saying you’re smart and beautiful, unparalleled in the world. Meeting you today, it truly lives up to the reputation!"
Hearing the praise, two shy blushes appeared on Ji Lingling’s cheeks.
"Master brother is too kind with his praise!"
Seeing the bashful Ji Lingling, the Spiritual Spring Sect disciple was jubilant, almost gawking.
Though Ji Lingling disliked being stared at so openly, she forced a smile considering she was in their territory.
"I wonder if my uncle is on the mountain now, please help inform him, master brother!"
Upon hearing Ji Lingling’s words, the disciple realized his error and awkwardly smiled.
"Steward Ji is on the mountain, since Ling’er Junior Sister is his niece, we’re family, no need for a formal announcement!"
"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself to Ling’er Junior Sister, my name is Wuo Gang, an Outer Mountain disciple!"
The disciples around Wuo Gang noticed his interest and started praising him earnestly.
"Ling’er Junior Sister may not know, Senior Brother Wuo is not just an Inner Sect disciple, but also ranked among the top ten Heavenly Prides in last year’s sect martial competition. Before turning thirty, he reached Golden Core Late Stage, truly a Heaven’s Chosen Son!"
Despite the praises from his companions, Wuo Gang waved his hand, feigning humility, saying it was all just luck.
Although he said this, the arrogance between his brows was unmistakable.
If this was before meeting Li Chen, Wuo Gang’s achievements would have intrigued Ji Lingling, even stirring envy.
After all, achieving Golden Core Late Stage before thirty makes him a standout among peers.
But compared to the monstrous talent of Li Chen, comparable to the Wolf Ancestor, Wuo Gang’s feats paled.
One who has seen the vast ocean won’t be astonished by a slightly wide brook at their doorstep.
Of course, Ji Lingling didn’t show her thoughts outwardly, just courteously said a few polite words.
However, as she spoke, she seemed distracted, her eyes occasionally glancing toward Li Chen as if worried praising Wuo Gang might upset him.
All this was keenly observed by Wuo Gang.
Soon, he looked arrogantly at Li Chen.
"Ling’er Junior Sister, is this person also from your Ji Family?"
