168: Chapter 168 Only I, Linglong, can heal your injury!

At this time,

In a desolate mountain range tens of millions of miles away from Yuheng Province.

*Crack!*

A silver rift suddenly tore through the originally calm space.

*Thud!*

Cao Kun fell out of the spatial teleportation array.

He landed steadily on a desolate hilltop.

He didn't move in a hurry; instead, he immediately released his Divine Sense, quickly scanning a hundred-mile radius.

After confirming there were no signs of Cultivators or any danger nearby,

Cao Kun's tense nerves finally relaxed slightly.

*Pfft!*

His throat felt sweet as he spat out a mouthful of dark-gold stagnant blood he had been holding back for a long time.

It directly corroded a charred deep pit into the ground.

The residual power of a palm strike from a Body Integration Stage powerhouse across the void was indeed overbearing.

Even with the weakening from the Paradise Desire Realm Domain and the absorption and conversion by the Myriad Laws Return to Silence Dao Wheel,

the remaining vibrational force still injured his internal organs.

However, it wasn't a major problem.

The pure spiritual energy converted by the Dao Wheel was already circulating through his body, and his injuries were healing at a visible rate.

The blood he spat out was merely waste blood accumulated in his Meridians.

"That old dog in the Body Integration Stage really has quite some strength."

Cao Kun cursed in a low voice.

Golden light flickered in his palm.

The all-heavens and myriad-realms demon suppressing tower emerged, its doors swinging wide open.

*Whoosh!*

A purple silhouette dashed out, bringing a provocative fragrant breeze, and threw herself recklessly into Cao Kun's arms.

"Master!"

As soon as Yu Linglong stepped out of the tower, she saw the blood on the corner of Cao Kun's mouth and the pool of stagnant blood on the ground.

Her seductive peach-blossom eyes instantly filled with a watery mist.

She hurriedly reached out with her fair, tender hands, tracing his chest and the corner of his mouth with heartache.

"Master, you're injured? It's all Linglong's fault for being useless and unable to help Master..."

Yu Linglong's voice carried a sob, filled with self-reproach.

Inside the demon suppressing tower, although she couldn't see the battle outside,

the Body Integration Stage pressure that had seeped into the tower

made her clearly aware of what a terrifying existence Cao Kun had been facing.

Looking at her pitifully lovable appearance, the hostility in Cao Kun's heart dissipated quite a bit.

He reached out and pinched Yu Linglong's soft fox ears.

"What are you crying for? It's just a minor injury. That old thing can't kill me yet."

Yu Linglong sniffled.

After confirming that Cao Kun's breath was still long and steady, and that his foundation hadn't been harmed,

her hanging heart finally settled back into her stomach.

After the fright passed, the nature of a vixen took over once again.

Her seductive peach-blossom eyes darted around, and a hint of flirtatiousness rose from the depths of her gaze.

"Master~ You're lying, Linglong can feel it."

Yu Linglong raised her charming face, staring straight at Cao Kun.

Her body pressed up against him even more softly.

"Master just went through a great battle, and your Qi and blood are surging. It must be very uncomfortable, right?"

"Does Master want Linglong... to help alleviate your injuries~?"

As she spoke, she intentionally puffed out her chest.

Nine fluffy fox tails peeked out from under her skirt.

They brushed restlessly back and forth against Cao Kun's calves.

Cao Kun's Qi and blood were already churning from taking the Body Integration Stage palm strike head-on.

Now, being provoked by this little enchantress, a surge of wicked fire immediately rose in his lower abdomen.

"Alright."

Cao Kun's eyes darkened as he gave a mischievous laugh.

Without giving Yu Linglong any time to react, he directly scooped up her voluptuous and enchanting body in his arms.

"Ah!"

Yu Linglong let out a startled cry, but instead of struggling, she wrapped her slender arms around Cao Kun's neck.

Her purple fox ears twitched excitedly.

Cao Kun's Divine Sense spread out again, locking onto a hidden cave a hundred miles away.

"Hold on tight."

Before his voice finished echoing, Cao Kun exerted force through his legs.

Holding Yu Linglong, he shot straight toward the cave!

Leaving behind only Yu Linglong's coy and inviting laughter in the mountain breeze.

He really had accumulated quite a lot lately.

He absolutely had to put out the fire today!

...

At the same time.

In the heart of the Central Province, at the Taichu Holy Land.

This was a vast and boundless immortal blessed land with an unimaginably deep foundation.

Ninety-nine ten-thousand-zhang divine mountains towered into the clouds, with dense Spiritual Qi turning into a literal sea of clouds rolling around the mountainsides.

However, at this moment, atop the Main Peak.

The originally clear sky was now covered in dark clouds, with rolling thunder.

A terrifying Body Integration Stage Spiritual Pressure soared into the sky from the Forbidden Ground in the back mountain of the Main Peak.

All the hundreds of thousands of Disciples of the Taichu Holy Land were pressed to the ground.

They looked toward the Main Peak with pale faces.

*Rumble!*

The stone gate of the Forbidden Ground exploded.

An old man wearing a purple-gold Daoist robe with white hair and beard stepped out.

He was surrounded by green lightning Laws.

With every step he took, the Void Realm beneath his feet collapsed into large black cracks.

This person was none other than the supreme ruler of the Taichu Holy Land, Holy Lord of Taichu!

He had just recalled the Divine Thought Clone that had been provoked by Cao Kun's public middle finger.

His true body had broken out of seclusion, his rage already burning away his reason.

"Summon all Elders at the Void Refinement Stage and above to meet me in the Main Hall!"

The Holy Lord's voice, laced with spiritual power, exploded in every corner of the Holy Land.

In less than ten breaths of time.

Inside the Main Hall of the Taichu Holy Land, dozens of old men with profound auras knelt on one knee in unison.

These Void Refinement Peak powerhouses, who usually commanded the wind and clouds in the outside world, didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of the enraged Holy Lord.

*Bang!*

Holy Lord of Taichu strode to the throne but did not sit down.

With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out an ancient compass inscribed with the stars of the heavens from his sleeve and slammed it onto the jade floor.

That was his Body Integration Stage Lifebound Treasure, the daluo star plate.

Specifically used for deducing heavenly secrets and tracking origins.

"Take the Star Compass! Go find him for me!"

The Holy Lord pointed at the compass on the floor, his roar shaking the hall's ceiling and causing dust to fall.

"Go to Yuheng Province! Extract the spatial coordinate residues there!"

"Dig three feet into the ground! Even if you have to turn the Central Province upside down, find that kid in the black and white robe with the black sword for me!"

The Elders below looked at each other in shock.

They hadn't received the news from Yuheng Province yet and had no idea what could have happened to make the usually steady Holy Lord so furious.

The Grand Elder swallowed his saliva and gathered the courage to look up.

"Holy Lord, please appease your anger... May I ask what this person's name is? Which lineage is he from? With this information, the Star Compass's deduction will be much faster..."

The Grand Elder's question was reasonable and followed the normal capture procedure.

However,

when Holy Lord of Taichu heard these questions, he paused.

What was his name? What was his background?

He didn't know!

When his Clone descended, he only saw Zhao Wuji being decapitated and Xiao Zhe being crippled.

He was too busy spouting threats to suppress the opponent and hadn't had time to investigate the other's background.

As a result, the opponent not only withstood his strike,

but also arrogantly gave him a mysterious gesture in front of the whole city before fleeing!

To think that he, the dignified Holy Lord of Taichu, didn't even know his enemy's name!

This was simply a humiliating disgrace!

"Too much nonsense!"

The more Holy Lord of Taichu thought about it, the angrier he got, and he slapped out across the air.

*Bang!*

The poor Grand Elder at the Peak of Void Refinement didn't even have time to react.

He was sent flying like a kite with its string cut.

After smashing through the bronze doors of the Main Hall,

he continued flying back for several thousand zhang, crashing through three side Peaks before finally getting up in a pathetic state.

"If there's no name or background, can't you find him?!"

Holy Lord of Taichu pointed at the group of subordinates and cursed.

"If I knew what his name was, would I need you useless trash to investigate?!"

"What do you think I gave you the daluo star plate for!"

"A bunch of useless trash!"

After venting his anger, Holy Lord of Taichu finally calmed down slightly.

He knew in his heart that relying solely on the daluo star plate to find someone in a sea of people was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

That kid had a high-grade teleportation talisman, and the spatial tracks had long been scrambled.

He had to use the power of the entire cultivation world.

"Issue my decree!"

Holy Lord of Taichu narrowed his eyes, his killing intent almost tangible.

"Immediately issue the highest-level wanted bounty in the Three Thousand Provinces!"

"As long as someone can provide accurate information on the whereabouts of this youth in the black and white robe, the Taichu Holy Land will reward them with one million Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"

"If someone can kill this person and bring his head and that black sword to see me,"

"The reward will be ten million Top-Grade Spirit Stones! Plus a Heaven Rank Peak-grade Cultivation Technique!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Elders in the hall all gasped in unison.

Ten million Top-Grade Spirit Stones!

A Heaven Rank Peak-grade Cultivation Technique!

Such a bounty was enough to buy a medium-sized lineage!

"Why haven't you scrambled to get it done!"

"Before sunset today, I want every Cultivator in the Central Province to see this wanted poster!"

"Under... understood! Your subordinates will get to it immediately!"

The Elders took the order in unison and quickly retreated from the hall, fearing they would trigger more of his wrath.
