151: Chapter 151 Ling Shu knows the inside story

“Could it be that Third Palace Envoy Wang Qin and I being hunted down by Ming Yun of the Bright Moon Sword Sect are connected?”

Seeing that Ling Shu seemed to have guessed some of the situation but was still confused, Ling Feng no longer concealed anything and spoke again.

“Second Sister, according to the information I received, your Nine Heavens Profound Palace should be holding the Saintess election in three months. The six Personal Disciples within the Sect are all qualified to compete, but among them, only you and the Personal Disciple under Third Palace Envoy Wang Qin have the highest support and are most likely to become the Saintess of the Nine Heavens Profound Palace.”

“Then, if you were to die during your outdoor training at this time, whose hands do you think the position of Saintess would fall into?”

Hearing Ling Feng's explanation, Ling Shu's body stiffened, and she couldn't help but say, “Little Brother, does that mean this pursuit was orchestrated by Third Palace Envoy Wang Qin in collusion with Ming Yun of the Bright Moon Sword Sect?”

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng immediately denied it, seeing that his Second Sister had misunderstood.

“No, no, no, that's not it.”

Hearing Ling Feng's denial, Ling Shu was bewildered for a moment, her face full of confusion.

“Alright, alright, Second Sister, stop guessing. The situation is this: according to my subordinates' investigation, during the time you were being hunted, the Spirit Pavilion of the Nine Heavens Profound Palace did indeed receive a distress message from you sent back to the Sect. Logically, given your identity as a Personal Disciple, your plea for help should have been reported to the Palace Master immediately. However, coincidentally, your Palace Master, Shang Hai, was in seclusion that day, and your Master, the Nine Palace Envoy, was also out of the Sect on business.”

“Later, the Disciple guarding the Spirit Pavilion submitted your distress message to Third Palace Envoy Wang Qin. In order for her Disciple to become the Saintess of the Nine Heavens Profound Palace, Wang Qin intended to use this opportunity to eliminate you.”

“Subsequently, she contacted her confidants and left the Sect under the pretense of going to your rescue, but in reality, it was just a show. She did not actually go to the place where you sent your distress message.”

“This is also why no strong Martial Artist from the Sect came to your aid after you sent out your distress message.”

“As for Ming Yun of the Bright Moon Sword Sect's reason for pursuing you, it's very simple. He had somehow discovered that you possess the Mystic Yin Saint Body. However, you were always within the Nine Heavens Profound Palace Sect, and your special status within the Sect made it difficult to act directly. So, he arranged for people to monitor outside the Nine Heavens Profound Palace Sect.”

“Later, when you went out to train alone, it gave him the perfect opportunity. The person responsible for monitoring you immediately relayed the news of your departure from the Sect to Ming Yun.”

“He then dispatched people to secretly bring you back to help him Breakthrough to the King Warrior Realm.”

“You know the rest of the story.”

After speaking, Ling Feng looked at Ling Shu beside him, only to see her mouth slightly agape, her face full of disbelief. She hadn't expected that not only were people from the Bright Moon Sword Sect after her, but even someone within her own Sect wanted her dead.

Seeing Ling Shu's expression, Ling Feng immediately stood up, went to her side, patted her shoulder, and slowly said, “Second Sister, don't worry. With your little brother here, I will personally take you to get your revenge. These people who have harmed you, it won't be long before I send them all to Hell to repent.”

As his words fell, the terrifying killing intent on Ling Feng's body slowly overflowed from him, instantly oppressing Ling Shu and Ling Wuji beside him, making it hard for them to breathe.

“Fenger, control your killing intent. I... I can barely breathe.”

Hearing Ling Wuji's voice from behind him, Ling Feng immediately reacted, his killing intent receding and instantly disappearing without a trace.

“My apologies, I couldn't control it for a moment.”

Ling Feng scratched his head awkwardly and said.

“Little Brother, thank you.”

Ling Shu, who had been silent for a long time, let out a heavy sigh, slowly raised her head, and said to Ling Feng with a smile.

“Hahaha, Second Sister, why are you being so polite with me? We are family. If I don't help you, who will?”

Seeing this, Ling Feng laughed heartily.

“Fenger is right. With us here, not only will we get justice for you, but those who dared to scheme against you will all pay a heavy price.”

Ling Feng then looked at Ling Wuji and Ling Shu beside him, changed the subject, and immediately asked them, “Father, Second Sister, leave this matter to me. You don't need to worry about it.”

“Oh, by the way, after all this talk, I still don't know why you came to find me?”

Since Ling Feng had said so, Ling Wuji and Ling Shu didn't say anything. After all, everything the Ling Family now possessed was brought by Ling Feng, so if he said that, he must have a certain degree of confidence.

“Fenger, we...”

Just as Ling Wuji was about to speak and state the purpose of their visit, he was directly interrupted by Ling Shu.

“Let me speak.”

Ling Shu then responded to Ling Feng's question.

“Little Brother, it's like this: you told me before that I must first Cultivate the Cultivation Technique you gave me to the introductory level before using the Six-Nine Profound Yin Pill to Awaken the hidden Physique within me.”

“But at the same time, it's best to have Father or you present to help as a Protector when taking the Six-Nine Profound Yin Pill. I successfully Cultivated the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Void Art to the introductory level yesterday evening. After consolidating it, I thought you probably had a lot of things to deal with, so I didn't want to trouble you. I went to find Father, and after explaining the situation to him, Father said that although he is a King Warrior Realm Martial Artist, he doesn't know much about Awakenings of the Physique using Medicinal Pills.”

“Father was also afraid that something might go wrong when I take the Six-Nine Profound Yin Pill to Awaken my Physique and he wouldn't be able to handle it. So, to be safe, Father thought it would be more secure to have you help as a Protector when I Awaken my Physique.”

Hearing this, Ling Feng nodded and slowly said, “Hmm, Father's consideration is indeed thorough. Your Physique is quite special, and having me present to help as a Protector would indeed be safer.”

“So, when do you plan to take the Six-Nine Profound Yin Pill to Awaken your Physique?”

“It hasn't been decided yet.”

“Since your Nine Revolutions Heavenly Void Art has reached the introductory level, it's best to Awaken your Physique sooner rather than later. How about this: you go back now, adjust your state to the best possible, and I'll come over this evening to be your Protector while you take the Medicinal Pill and Awaken your Physique.”

Seeing that Ling Shu hadn't set a definite time, Ling Feng immediately made the decision.

Hearing this, Ling Wuji and Ling Shu immediately nodded in agreement.

“Okay!”
