Ling Tian’s appearance now would make it difficult for him to seek revenge later.
With this thought, Ling Tian entered the Spirit Realm space. A sea eagle spread its wings and soared towards a certain location in the suburbs of Jiangshan City. Old Master Wang Chunfeng was still being held there.
…
Huancheng was a small city located in the central part of Huaxia, surrounded by mountains. This small city had a very long history, with many cultural landscapes and outstanding natural resources around it.
However, many people did not know that in the suburbs of this inconspicuous small city, lived a group of extraordinary individuals. The headquarters of the Situ family was located here!
More than 100 kilometers away from Huancheng, nestled in the mountainside, was a village called Zhuifeng Village. This was the headquarters of the Situ family, holding a status equivalent to the Long family’s Canglong Valley!
In fact, Situ Liuguang disliked this place immensely, feeling it was isolated and filled with a stale atmosphere.
This was not surprising. He was still young and had experienced the vibrant world outside. How could he possibly endure such a desolate place?
Apart from being slightly more secluded and having slightly richer spiritual energy than the outside world, there was nothing else in this place that could attract Situ Liuguang.
However, this time, Situ Liuguang acted uncharacteristically. As soon as he disembarked from his private jet at Huancheng Airport, he drove towards his residence in Zhuifeng Village.
In his opinion, although he had failed to persuade the stubborn old man Wang Chunfeng this time, he had prepared another plan. He assumed Situ Lansheng had already captured Wang Bingxia and was currently on the highway.
Airport security checks were necessary, so he wisely chose not to bring Wang Bingxia onto the plane, opting for separate actions.
By the time he reached Zhuifeng Village, it was already night.
After a sumptuous dinner and a hot bath, it was past midnight. Situ Liuguang practiced his cultivation for a while but found he couldn’t calm his mind. His thoughts were consumed by dual cultivation with Wang Bingxia, using her as a cauldron to perfect his Black Flame Art. Once achieved, he could unify the Situ family and become its patriarch!
The idea was beautiful, but Situ Liuguang felt a sense of unease, his right eyelid twitching incessantly.
He roughly pushed open his door, an action that drew the attention of the attendants waiting outside.
“Young Master, do you have any instructions?”
The man speaking was named Si Rui. He was in his early forties. His family had been vassals of the Situ family for generations.
These vassal families were essentially servants of the Situ family, naturally enjoying the benefits that came with it.
If there were exceptionally talented youths among these vassal families, they were allowed to intermarry with members of the Situ family, thereby bringing fresh blood to the clan.
This was one of the key reasons why the Situ family had endured for a thousand years.
Si Rui before him was a capable subordinate of Situ Liuguang. He was astute and efficient in his work, earning Situ Liuguang’s high regard.
Even at this late hour, Si Rui remained diligently by Situ Liuguang’s side.
“What time is it now?” Situ Liuguang’s room lacked clocks or phones during his cultivation, primarily to avoid any distractions.
One had to understand that once one entered a state of meditation during cultivation, being disturbed by such mundane matters could lead to significant setbacks.
“Reporting to Young Master, it is already two in the morning! Would you like something to eat?” Si Rui asked solicitously.
“Bring me a bowl of Ice Silkworm Snow Lotus Soup, chilled!”
“Yes, Young Master, I will arrange it immediately!”
The ice silkworm was not a mythical creature; on the contrary, it was a real organism that lived in the glaciers of the southwestern mountains.
These creatures lived in environments consistently below zero degrees Celsius, yet they did not freeze.
The silk spun by the ice silkworm possessed strength and toughness far exceeding that of steel wire of the same thickness. Since ancient times, martial artists had used ice silkworm silk to craft weapons, hidden weapons, and armor.
Furthermore, the ice silkworm, being of extreme cold attribute, could also be used as medicine, with remarkable efficacy in dispelling fire toxicity!
Situ Liuguang cultivated the Situ family’s forbidden ultimate technique, the Black Flame Art. A common drawback of such fire-attribute techniques was the generation of fire toxicity, which accumulated within the body and eventually erupted.
Moreover, during cultivation, one felt as if their internal organs and meridians were being scorched by flames, causing immense discomfort. This was another significant reason why Situ Liuguang desperately sought a cauldron.
While a cauldron was unavailable now, he couldn’t neglect his cultivation. The Situ family had, over the past thousand years, developed a method for cultivating the Black Flame Art: brewing ice silkworm snow lotus porridge.
The ice silkworm itself was extremely cold, capable of counteracting fire toxicity. Fresh wild snow lotus was also a medicinal herb for clearing heat and detoxifying.
Additionally, snow lotus could also disperse stasis and promote tissue regeneration, repairing bodily tissues damaged by fire toxicity during Situ Liuguang’s cultivation.
Before long, a servant, wearing thick gloves, approached with a bowl of dark green liquid.
The bowl contained a generous amount of crushed ice, and a palpable chill emanated from it even from a distance. However, Situ Liuguang paid it no mind, directly taking the large bowl and draining the liquid in a few gulps.
Instantly, a wave of coldness entered his body, suppressing the burning sensation within him that felt on the verge of ignition.
“Ah, so refreshing!”
Situ Liuguang let out a sigh of relief, then his brow furrowed. He abruptly turned his head to look at Si Rui.
“Has that fellow Situ Lansheng contacted you? When will he bring that woman to Zhuifeng Village?”
“Uh, Young Master, Situ Lansheng has not contacted me yet.
However, I believe they are currently on the highway. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, they should arrive at Zhuifeng Village by tomorrow evening!”
This was not due to Si Rui’s laziness. Si Rui knew that Situ Lansheng was a very capable individual and reliable in his work. Moreover, he was a respected guest of the Situ family. As someone from an ordinary family, it felt presumptuous for him to call and inquire about their whereabouts!
“Quickly call him, right now! Ask him where he is and what time he’ll arrive tomorrow!”
Si Rui immediately took out his phone, activated the speakerphone, and dialed Situ Lansheng’s number.
“Hello, the number you have dialed cannot be connected. Please try again later…”
A cold, emotionless voice came from the receiver!
“What the hell is this? In this day and age, this phone still doesn’t connect!
That old fellow Situ Lansheng, with his millions in income, can’t even afford a decent phone!”
