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

How could Ling Feng be willing to sit and wait for death? He had only wanted to test the other party's strength just now.

After only a few rounds, Ling Feng realized that although Zhuo Bufan's swordsmanship had reached the first-class level, it was nothing special, and he didn't take it seriously.

Since there was nothing left to see, Ling Feng immediately unleashed the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, rendering the Sword God powerless to fight with a single strike.

The reason why the sword god was defeated in one move was entirely because the difference in strength between the two was too great.

After the Sword God's defeat, no one from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands dared to challenge him again.

After all, this sword god was already one of the top experts among them, and now he was defeated in one move. It was even more impossible for the others to withstand Ling Feng's move.

Seeing that they didn't dare to make a move, Ling Feng naturally wouldn't sit idle. He immediately resumed his work of chopping melons and vegetables.

Murong Fu was in a dilemma at this moment, because he was really unsure whether or not to make a move.

He knew very well that if he really made a move, he would probably find it difficult to gain the upper hand against Ling Feng.

After all, Ling Feng's strength seemed unfathomable.

He knew his own abilities; to think that he could defeat the Sword God Zhuo Bufan in one move was simply a pipe dream.

Moments later, the people from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands had completely lost the will to fight.

Ling Feng's attack was somewhat measured, but the Nine Heavens and Ten Departments showed no mercy, each move aimed to kill.

After that, these people could only cower to the side.

Seeing that they dared not continue their attack, Ling Feng stopped his relentless pursuit.

They swaggered through the passage they had cleared and successfully joined up with the Nine Heavens and Ten Departments.

The women in Lingjiu Palace were all very beautiful, and they looked innocent, charming, and lovely.

After Ling Feng reunited with them, it was as if he had fallen into a flower garden.

Upon seeing Ling Feng approach, one of the women, who appeared to be the leader, stepped forward, clasped her hands in a respectful greeting, and said:

"Thank you for your help, young hero. May I ask who you are and why you lent us your assistance?"

Although Ling Feng had just helped them out of the predicament, they did not let their guard down.

These women knew the dangers of the martial world and feared that this was a trick by the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands.

Ling Feng expressed his understanding of their concerns.

After all, in this world full of strife and intrigue, the sudden appearance of a stranger offering help does indeed make one suspect whether he has ulterior motives.

Faced with their questions, Ling Feng smiled slightly and replied:

"My name is Ling Feng. As for why I lent a hand to you, it was simply my duty."

Upon hearing this, the women were even more puzzled and showed expressions of curiosity.

"Oh, why would Young Master Ling say that?"

The woman who appeared to be the leader pressed for an answer.

Ling Feng didn't want to explain his identity to them too much, since it would be difficult to explain it in a short time.

He removed the jade thumb ring, which symbolized his status as the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect, from his finger and handed it to the woman, saying:

"I can't go into the details, but you can take this jade thumb ring to Tong Lao and she will understand my purpose."

"Of course, you can go ahead without worry. I'm here, and no one can get an inch forward."

The woman took the jade thumb ring and examined it carefully. The jade thumb ring was crystal clear, emitting a faint light, and was engraved with exquisite patterns, clearly not an ordinary object.

Realizing this might be an important keepsake, she carefully tucked it into her bosom, promising to give it to the old woman.

With the leader gone, the remaining women of the Nine Heavens and Ten Divisions became vigilant.

They watched their surroundings warily, gripping their weapons tightly, not daring to relax their guard in the slightest.

Of course, Ling Feng was also among those they were wary of.

Although Ling Feng had just helped them, they did not fully trust him because his identity had not yet been confirmed.

However, Ling Feng didn't care about this.

After all, all these beautiful women will become his subordinates in the future.

And so, neither side made a move for the time being.

They were locked in a stalemate, and the experts who had been invited by the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands to help them were in a bind. They all wanted to slip away at the last minute.

Although they thought this way, they dared not put it into action, for fear of attracting the attention of both sides.

……

Meanwhile, the leader, wearing the jade thumb ring, hurriedly returned to Lingjiu Palace.

The Lingjiu Palace is located in a cave. There must have been a cave there originally, which was later carved by humans.

The tables, chairs, and benches in the palace are mostly made of stone, so the interior looks very simple and clear.

At this time, due to the sudden rebellion of the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands, most of the fighting force in Lingjiu Palace had gone out to meet the enemy, making the defense force inside the palace extremely weak.

However, the leader's ostentatious entrance still attracted the attention of the personnel responsible for guarding the area.

Instantly, two girls, around seventeen or eighteen years old, appeared before her. One of them asked curiously:

"Sister Green Bamboo, why are you back? Have you driven away the enemies outside?"

Another girl asked with equal curiosity:

"Yes, Sister Green Bamboo, has something happened?"

The leader, Green Bamboo, upon seeing the two suddenly appearing girls, replied with a start:

"So it's the bamboo sword and the chrysanthemum sword! The situation outside is under control for the time being, but some special circumstances have arisen, and I need to consult with Grandma."

They knew each other very well, and upon hearing Green Bamboo say this, Bamboo Sword quickly replied:

"Grandma is inside. Come in with us."

The two of them were the old woman's personal maids, and also the last line of defense here.

Besides the two of them, there were two others in secret. They were known as the "Four Swords of Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum".

The three of them walked through the hall and arrived at the back of the room, where the Child Granny was staying.

In the middle of the palace was a huge stone bed, and a beautifully carved little girl was sitting cross-legged on it.

The little girl wore a pale yellow palace dress, and her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulders. Combined with her delicate and adorable face, it was impossible not to love her.

Noticing the three people enter, the little girl slowly opened her eyes and looked at them.

Her eyes were deep and bright, as if they could see through everything.

The three women felt a sense of awe under her gaze.

They immediately knelt down on one knee and begged for forgiveness:

"Grandma, please calm down. We didn't mean to disturb you; we have something important to report."

Judging from the three women's reactions, this little girl was none other than the Heavenly Child Granny. Hearing the three women say this, she finally withdrew her gaze and said:

"Get up. What's the situation outside? Do you have anything to report?"

Upon hearing this, Bamboo Sword and Chrysanthemum Sword immediately stood up, while Green Bamboo remained kneeling on one knee, bowing his head to report:

"Reporting to Grandma, the situation outside has been temporarily brought under control, but this time we were able to successfully control the situation thanks to the help of one person."

"Oh? Who is it?"

Tianshan Child Granny asked curiously.

"This man is named Ling Feng, and he is an extremely young man."
