1156: Chapter 1149: A Tiger Falls in Pingyang 1156: Chapter 1149: A Tiger Falls in Pingyang Inside a sealed training room on the Heavenly Alliance’s Divine Island.
This place was formerly used by the Alliance Hierarch Yan Feichen for secluded cultivation.
However, at this moment, Yan Tianjue was seated cross-legged on a stone platform, his eyes tightly shut.
The muscles on his face twitched slightly, his body looking as if it might topple over at any moment, drenched in sweat that had already soaked through his clothes.
Yan Feichen stood by, watching his son, Yan Tianjue.
Half an hour ago, Yan Tianjue had swallowed the Emperor Soul Pill.
The process of integrating the Emperor Soul Pill typically takes two hours.
If one cannot merge with the Emperor Soul Pill within two hours, it means failure—and the one who consumed the pill will burst and die.
The first hour was relatively easy to manage, but the real agony comes in the second hour.
Therefore, Yan Feichen hadn’t planned to help Yan Tianjue just yet.
If Yan Tianjue couldn’t withstand the first hour on his own, then even with Yan Feichen’s assistance, he was doomed to never reach the Emperor Level through the power of the Emperor Soul Pill.
With his eyes tightly closed, Yan Tianjue was constantly haunted by visions of Ye Chenfeng overpowering him, intensifying the obsession within his heart to kill Ye Chenfeng.
Clenching his teeth, he roared inwardly, “Ye Chenfeng, I will kill you with my own hands, I swear I will.”
As time went by, Yan Tianjue managed to endure the first hour with an obsession in his heart.
As he entered the second hour, Yan Feichen suddenly pressed two acupoints on Yan Tianjue’s body and began channeling his own Soul Force into his son, saying, “Tianjue, I will lend you a hand.
With my help, your chances of merging with the Emperor Soul Pill will increase significantly.”
Under normal circumstances, nobody can assist with the integration of an Emperor Soul Pill—unless it’s a Divine Level Soul Force master.
Nonetheless, if a Divine Level Soul Force expert does offer help with the pill, it comes at the cost of their own well-being, requiring months of recuperation to fully recover.
Yan Feichen would not have bothered to help if it weren’t for the fact that Yan Tianjue was his son.
Two hours swiftly passed by.
“Boom!
Boom!
Boom!—”
A surge of power adequate to rival that of the Initial Emperor Level began to spread throughout the training room.
Soon after, Yan Tianjue’s arrogant laughter echoed, “Hahaha, the power of the Initial Emperor Level, this is what it feels like!
What does it matter if I am left with only one year of life?
Ye Chenfeng, your head is mine for the taking.”
…
In a very modest but clean wooden cabin.
Ye Chenfeng had been here for two days now.
Currently, his body could only lie flat, completely immobile.
The Soul Force within him was utterly depleted, and every single meridian throughout his body was severed, preventing the circulation of Soul Force, meaning Ye Chenfeng couldn’t heal on his own.
When Ye Chenfeng first opened his eyes two days ago, the sight that greeted him was a beautiful woman, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
Although her clothing was plain, her features were strikingly beautiful, creating an impression of radiant yet pure beauty.
Because Ye Chenfeng’s injuries were so severe, he was unable to produce any sound from his throat.
Eventually, the woman deduced that Ye Chenfeng was a mute and, after treating his wounds, she began talking to herself.
The woman was named Dong Wanru.
Through Dong Wanru’s words, Ye Chenfeng learned that he was currently on Flaming Sun Island, and it was Dong Wanru who had found him at the seaside and rescued him from the waters.
Flaming Sun Island is almost a place isolated from the world, so isolated that you cannot even find it on a map.
Hundreds of years ago, possibly even longer, a group of people arrived on Flaming Sun Island and settled down.
The woman in front of us, Dong Wanru, is a descendant of those people.
The exceedingly beautiful Dong Wanru probably doesn’t get many people willing to come into contact with her, simply because at the time of her birth, five or six foxes had appeared in her home.
The other inhabitants of the island deemed this a bad omen, believing Dong Wanru to be the incarnation of a fox demon.
In the following years, Dong Wanru’s father and mother contracted a serious illness and died, which made the islanders even more certain that Dong Wanru was a fox demon, and from then on, no one else interacted with her.
Consequently, Dong Wanru was forced to move to an uninhabited area of the island.
Dong Wanru told Ye Chenfeng, who had become “mute,” a lot about her past and about Flaming Sun Island.
Perhaps it was because she hadn’t spoken to anyone in so long that she treated Ye Chenfeng as a vent for her desire to talk.
After Dong Wanru had spoken alone for quite a while, she walked into the kitchen inside the wooden hut.
Soon she came out with a wooden bowl, which contained porridge.
She scooped up a spoonful, blew on it gently, and said to Ye Chenfeng, “Here, Er Sha, I’ve cooled it down for you, it’s not hot anymore.”
“Er Sha” was the name Dong Wanru had given to Ye Chenfeng, as he couldn’t speak.
Dong Wanru brought the spoon to Ye Chenfeng’s mouth.
Now that Ye Chenfeng was seriously injured inside, drinking some porridge was most suitable.
If he ate nothing at all, his injuries would only grow more severe.
With Ye Chenfeng unable to move his limbs, he could only obediently open his mouth and enjoy being tenderly fed porridge by Dong Wanru.
Each time she fed him, Dong Wanru would lean close to Ye Chenfeng, and he could smell a natural fragrance from her body, a scent that relaxed Chenfeng’s nerves.
There was a muffled “bang!”
However, at this moment, the door of the wooden hut was suddenly kicked open by someone with great force, and a twenty-something young man swaggered in.
The clothes on the young man were similarly very simple—there were no clothing factories or anything of the sort on Flaming Sun Island, and the local people made rough clothes out of the materials they found locally.
This young man’s name was Jin Sanshi, the youngest son of the village head.
Jin Sanshi looked at Dong Wanru, who was feeding Ye Chenfeng porridge.
An extremely unpleasant smile appeared on his deformed face as he sneered, “Dong Wanru, I heard from someone yesterday that you picked up a man from the sea and brought him home.
I didn’t believe it at first!
Turns out it’s all true.
Are you so desperate for a man that you’d pick up garbage that can’t move?
Am I not stronger than him?
If you take good care of me, I might find a way to let you return to the village, how about that?” Jin Sanshi had had his sights set on Dong Wanru for a long time, after all, her beauty was something men couldn’t ignore.
Dong Wanru’s expression turned ice-cold when she saw Jin Sanshi burst into her hut.
Jin Sanshi had often bothered her in the past and even resorted to many despicable actions against her.
Fortunately, Dong Wanru was bright and had always managed to turn danger into safety, never letting Jin Sanshi take advantage of her.
Dong Wanru set down the wooden bowl in her hand and ordered, “Jin Sanshi, get out of my hut this instant.”
Jin Sanshi, with a shameless demeanor, took a couple of steps forward and said, “Think it over, Dong Wanru.
In the eyes of the other people in the village, you’re the incarnation of a fox demon.
Now you’ve brought back a strange man, and the villagers will never let this go.”
Then Jin Sanshi looked towards Ye Chenfeng, who was lying down, and coldly said, “Kid, where are you from?
From the looks of you, you’re no good person.”
Seeing that Ye Chenfeng continued to keep silent, Jin Sanshi mistook him for a mute.
He continued, “So you’re a mute, huh?
Completely crippled too.
I think it would be better to end it sooner rather than later.
It would be a relief for you as well.”
The prostrate Ye Chenfeng listened to Jin Sanshi’s incessant words with eyes that grew colder and colder.
If this were the Ye Chenfeng from before the injury, a man like Jin Sanshi would be less significant than an ant in his eyes.
But now, Ye Chenfeng felt the frustration of a tiger being ridiculed by a dog due to his fallen state.
From the current situation, it was clear that Jin Sanshi had improper thoughts about Dong Wanru.
Dong Wanru was, after all, Ye Chenfeng’s lifesaver, and she had been taking care of him meticulously over the past few days.
This made Ye Chenfeng ignore the pain from his torn meridians; within his body, he once again tried to crazily operate his Soul Force.
