The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

Li Qiushui is now focused on teaching Wang Yuyan martial arts and has not gone to cause trouble for Tong Lao.

This allowed them to maintain a relatively harmonious state for the time being, and they lived in peace with each other.

However, such a peaceful life is often short-lived.

After Li Qiushui taught Wang Yuyan the Lesser Formless Skill and the Cold Sleeve Acupoint Flicking Technique, surprisingly, Wang Yuyan had already made some progress in just half a month.

In particular, the Lesser Formless Skill broke through to the first-class level in one fell swoop, and this skill showed a very high degree of compatibility with her.

At the same time, Wang Yuyan's extraordinary talent was also fully revealed.

Witnessing Wang Yuyan's outstanding performance, Li Qiushui decided without hesitation to pass on the White Rainbow Palm technique to her as well.

Half a month later, Wang Yuyan not only consolidated her first-class realm, but also achieved minor success in the White Rainbow Palm technique.

Now that Wang Yuyan had enough ability to protect herself, she once again had the idea of ​​seeking revenge against Tong Lao.

Li Qiushui's obsession with Tong Lao actually has a long and complicated backstory.

They had a bad relationship since childhood, and Tong Lao was even worse off because of her, which meant she could only keep her youthful appearance her whole life.

The conflict between the two deepened, and later they both developed feelings for Wuyazi, which led to them becoming complete enemies.

The two have been locked in a fierce rivalry for years, scheming against each other and even resorting to various means to deal with one another.

Later, the old woman even disfigured her, thus forging an irreconcilable feud between the two.

Although Tong Lao is more skilled, her martial arts have a flaw: she has to rejuvenate every thirty years, which is a rare opportunity for Li Qiushui.

When the Child Granny reverts to her youth, she is at her weakest. If we can take this opportunity to kill her, we can avenge the blood feud from back then.

Unexpectedly, Ling Feng suddenly appeared and stopped her, but she would not give up her revenge because of this.

After seeing that Wang Yuyan was able to protect herself, she left Wang Yuyan alone in the town, left her a letter, and then came to Lingjiu Palace again.

The reason I didn't bring Wang Yuyan along was because I didn't want her to be caught in the middle.

Ling Feng would definitely not let himself kill Tong Lao, but given the girl's relationship with Ling Feng, she certainly wouldn't stand idly by. So, to avoid putting her in a difficult position, it would be best to leave her there alone.

Time passed quietly, and Ling Feng continued to diligently practice his martial arts every day, just as he always had.

After a period of hard work, he has become proficient in the new martial arts techniques he has learned.

Besides practicing his martial arts, Ling Feng also devoted himself to studying other precious secret manuals in the Lingjiu Palace.

During this period, he made significant progress in his medical skills, and his current level of medical expertise is no less than that of Doctor Xue.

In addition, he read a large number of books on miscellaneous subjects and strange tales, broadening his knowledge.

Although he was often worried about Wang Yuyan's safety, Ling Feng felt somewhat relieved considering that she had been taken away by her grandmother.

Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing also benefited greatly during this period.

Not only did they receive meticulous guidance from the Child Granny, but they also had the opportunity to learn about the martial arts of many other sects collected in the Lingjiu Palace.

Although they could not be taught the unique skills of the Xiaoyao Sect, the two women could still freely learn martial arts from other sects.

Through their own efforts and opportunities, they successfully elevated their skills to the peak of the second tier.

Although it wasn't as fortunate as Wang Yuyan's, the improvement was still quite significant.

However, during this peaceful period, on a dark and stormy night, Li Qiushui struck again.

Since his last encounter with Li Qiushui, Ling Feng realized that he had to remain vigilant at all times.

Therefore, he chose to practice martial arts in the main hall, and even when reading secret manuals, he would bring them to the main hall to read.

There was only one purpose in doing this—to prevent Li Qiushui from harming Tong Lao while he was away.

Li Qiushui had anticipated that she might encounter Ling Feng during her visit.

Therefore, after successfully evading the guards outside and entering the main hall, she immediately began searching for Ling Feng's whereabouts.

As expected, when her gaze fell on the corner where Ling Feng was cultivating, she met Ling Feng's bright eyes.

Seeing that she had been discovered, Li Qiushui decided to take the initiative and tried to intimidate Ling Feng with words:

"Kid, your girlfriend is in my hands now. Don't you care about her life or death at all?"

In response to her threat, Ling Feng smiled nonchalantly and said:

"Uncle-Master, given your relationship with Yu Yan, why would I need to worry about her safety!"

His voice carried a hint of understanding, as if he didn't care at all about Li Qiushui's words.

Upon hearing this, Li Qiushui's face darkened, but she quickly regained her composure. She looked at Ling Feng and asked in an icy tone:

"Hmm, you already knew what kind of relationship I had with her?"

Her gaze was as deep as a cold pool, sending chills down one's spine.

Ling Feng's lips curled into a confident smile. He said calmly:

"Haha, my godmother once told me about you, so do you think I should know or not!"

His eyes revealed a sense of confidence and mastery, as if everything was under his control.

Seeing that threats were ineffective, Li Qiushui's face darkened.

She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes flashing with anger.

However, she did not react violently, but instead took a deep breath to calm herself down.

After a moment of silence, Li Qiushui's tone softened, and she began to play the emotional card.

"Since you know about our relationship, why are you still trying to stop me?"

Her voice carried a hint of helplessness and sadness, which made people feel pity for her.

Ling Feng looked at Li Qiushui like this, but remained unmoved. He shook his head and sighed:

"Sigh, this is my responsibility ever since I took over as the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect. Why must my martial uncle make things difficult for me?"

His tone revealed a sense of helplessness and determination, as if he were telling a story of an inescapable mission.
