316: Arrogant Peng Ling

Miss Peng Yu is also an Alchemist, so she definitely wouldn't be without various Medicinal Pills to recover from injuries.

Not long after Lu Xingchen flew back, he saw Liu Ruyan, Li Changbai, and Xu Qing all rushing towards him.

His heart immediately warmed.

His three Senior Brother and Senior Sister had all come, and their actions were so swift, clearly having dropped all their urgent matters.

His three Senior Brother and Senior Sister truly treated him as one of their own, caring so much about his safety.

Seeing Lu Xingchen safe and sound, Liu Ruyan and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Ruyan flew forward and used her Soul Power to examine Lu Xingchen's body. She discovered that his Qi and fighting Qi were more than half depleted, and her heart immediately sank. She said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother, what happened?"

Lu Xingchen smiled bitterly and said, "The Saintess of Medicine King Valley took a liking to my spiritual fire and ambushed me outside the Mountain Gate, wanting to forcefully seize it. I fought a battle with her."

Upon hearing this, all three were greatly astonished.

That Miss Peng Yu is one of the eight prodigies, a leader among the younger generation of the central province. How could she have attacked Lu Dazhuang?

Liu Ruyan said in a deep voice, "Coveting your spiritual fire? Is that Miss Peng Yu not the little girl who follows Peng Ling?"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and said softly, "That's right, it's her!"

Liu Ruyan then asked, "Where is that Miss Peng Yu now? Did she escape after taking your spiritual fire?"

"Junior Brother, don't worry. Our Lingyun Sect is not to be trifled with. Even the Saintess of a Ninth-Rank Sect cannot do such an unreasonable thing. I will take you to Medicine King Valley to get your spiritual fire back!"

"That Miss Peng Yu was still sensible enough not to take your life. Otherwise, once Master returns, Medicine King Valley will surely suffer greatly!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Something like that, I captured Miss Peng Yu."

Upon hearing this, all three were stunned.

That Miss Peng Yu is the Saintess of Medicine King Valley, one of the eight prodigies of the central province, an Eighth-Grade Alchemist, and a Martial Venerable Expert.

Whether it was background, status, fighting Qi, or Soul Power, Lu Dazhuang was no match for Miss Peng Yu.

But he actually won and even captured Miss Peng Yu!

How could this be?

Although she knew Lu Xingchen wouldn't lie about such a thing, Liu Ruyan still couldn't believe it and said in a deep voice, "Is that true?"

Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, took out the hunyuan umbrella, and released Miss Peng Yu, but he did not lift the Seal.

Inside the blue-green spiritual power bubble, Miss Peng Yu was sitting cross-legged, recovering from her injuries.

She looked a bit disheveled, her face pale, a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, and bloodstains on her chest. Her right hand hung limply, clearly broken.

Only after seeing the sealed Miss Peng Yu with their own eyes did the three accept reality.

Lu Dazhuang really defeated Miss Peng Yu!

He, at the Martial Ancestor Realm, defeated Miss Peng Yu, who was a Martial Venerable, by fighting above his Realm!

Lu Dazhuang is too amazing!

Feeling the change in her surroundings, Miss Peng Yu opened her eyes, looked at Lu Xingchen, and then scanned the area.

"Oh, your helpers arrived quite quickly!"

"Lu Dazhuang, I advise you to release me immediately. Otherwise, Medicine King Valley will absolutely not let you off!"

Lu Xingchen smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Peng Yu, I have no intention of being enemies with Medicine King Valley, nor with you. It was merely for self-preservation. You are truly too powerful, and I had no choice but to use all means, going all out. I overused my strength for a moment, I am truly sorry."

"As long as you promise not to fight me again, I will release you immediately."

Miss Peng Yu raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a deep voice, "I understand. I often get into fights myself and know you didn't do it on purpose. I came to find you mainly because I'm interested in you and your spiritual fire, and just wanted to spar a bit."

"The reason I said I wanted to take your spiritual fire was just to force you to go all out."

"Now that the sparring is over, I lost. There's no need for us to continue fighting."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and lifted Miss Peng Yu's Seal.

Although he didn't know if Miss Peng Yu's words were true or false, she was already severely injured and wouldn't be able to pose a threat to him in a short time.

Keeping her imprisoned wasn't a solution either. Since she offered a way out, he might as well take the opportunity and release her!

Miss Peng Yu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Lu Dazhuang, your strength is formidable. I have always prided myself on fighting above my Realm, but I didn't expect to be surpassed by you today."

"In this battle, I am thoroughly convinced of my defeat. But the road ahead is long, and our future encounters are uncertain. I will overcome my shame and strive for courage, continuing to Cultivate. The next time we meet, I will challenge you again!"

Lu Xingchen felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

Being targeted by such an unparalleled Prodigy was not a comfortable feeling.

But he didn't back down. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "The next time we meet, I will definitely be even stronger than I am now!"

Seeing their attitudes soften, Liu Ruyan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Miss Peng Yu, you are severely injured. Would you like to come back to Lingyun Sect with me to rest? I will immediately send someone to notify Elder Peng Ling and have him come to Lingyun Sect to pick you up."

Miss Peng Yu shook her head slightly and said in a deep voice, "No need. Lu Dazhuang shattered my protective jade pendant, so Uncle Peng Ling must have sensed it. He should be on his way now."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, Miss Peng Yu also had a way to contact the experts of Medicine King Valley.

If he had, in a moment of impulse, killed her, he would certainly have faced retaliation from Medicine King Valley.

As Miss Peng Yu's words fell, a whooshing sound came from afar.

Peng Ling's voice arrived before he did.

"Fellow Daoist of Lingyun Sect, why do you offend the Saintess of our Medicine King Valley? If the Saintess suffers even the slightest mishap, I will surely exterminate the entire Lingyun Sect!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's brows furrowed tightly.

This Peng Ling's words were truly arrogant!

He didn't even ask what happened before threatening to exterminate the entire Lingyun Sect.

However, this was normal. Medicine King Valley is a Ninth-Rank Sect, one of the top Sects of the entire Human Race, so it was normal for them to be a bit arrogant.

If he had the backing of a Ninth-Rank Sect, he would definitely be even more arrogant than him.

Ten-odd seconds later, Peng Ling's figure appeared on the horizon.

Seeing Miss Peng Yu standing with the high-ranking members of Lingyun Sect, he was slightly stunned, and then he noticed Miss Peng Yu's disheveled appearance.

Peng Ling flew in front of everyone and said softly, "Xiao Yu, come here!"

Miss Peng Yu obediently flew behind Peng Ling. After checking her injuries, he immediately looked grim and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yu, were these four people from Lingyun Sect ganging up on you to make you look like this?"

Miss Peng Yu shook her head slightly and smiled bitterly, "No, Uncle Peng Ling. Lu Dazhuang and I were sparring, and we were evenly matched. The fight was quite intense, and I unfortunately lost to him."

Upon hearing this, Peng Ling was even more surprised.

"You mean, you two were sparring, and Lu Dazhuang shattered your protective jade pendant and defeated you? He could actually threaten your life!"

Miss Peng Yu smiled bitterly, "That's right. I didn't expect Lu Dazhuang to be so powerful."
