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

After muttering a few words in a low voice, the Old Woman turned her gaze to Ling Feng and asked urgently:

"Since my junior brother is not dead, where is he now?"

"This……"

Seeing how agitated she was, Ling Feng didn't know whether he should tell her the truth.

However, considering her deep affection for Wu Yazi, if I don't tell her the details, she will definitely keep asking questions, and eventually she will find out.

While Ling Feng was still debating whether or not to tell her the details, Tong Lao, clearly impatient, pressed him for an answer:

"What's wrong? Tell me already!"

"Alas, my master has passed away."

"What?! How could this be!"

This experience of seeing hope only to be met with disappointment was difficult for her to accept for a while.

The old woman stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

She stared intently at Ling Feng, as if trying to find a trace of a joke on his face, but Ling Feng's expression was extremely serious.

Once she realized Ling Feng hadn't lied to her, tears streamed down her cheeks, and her gaze lost focus, as if the whole world had lost its color.

Seeing her like this, Ling Feng felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only remain silent.

After a moment, she finally snapped out of her grief. Her previously dazed eyes gradually regained their clarity, and when she looked at Ling Feng again, her gaze became extremely complex.

"Did your master have any last wishes?"

she asked softly.

Ling Feng shook his head:

“I have already done it for my master. I brought Ding Chunqiu, the culprit who harmed him, directly to my master for him to deal with. In the end, he died without a complete corpse.”

Upon hearing Ding Chunqiu's name, a flash of hatred appeared in her eyes, but she relaxed when she heard about his fate.

She then asked:

"Did your master send you here with any other instructions?"

Ling Feng thought for a moment and then said truthfully:

"My master only told me to come here to learn martial arts; he didn't say anything else."

"Hmm, has your master told you about my situation?"

Her voice carried a hint of anticipation and unease.

Ling Feng was immediately in a dilemma. He knew he couldn't lie, but if he told the truth, he feared it would cause unnecessary trouble. He gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth:

“My master told me some things about you, but he didn’t reveal many specific details.”

In fact, Ling Feng was lying. Wu Yazi only gave Ling Feng a general overview, and Ling Feng learned the specifics from the original story.

However, he thought to himself that sometimes a white lie is necessary, as it can make the other person feel at ease and trusting.

Sure enough, her expression softened considerably upon hearing Ling Feng's words.

She nodded slightly, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes:

"Well, since your master told you about my situation, you should know that there are some flaws in my cultivation of this technique, right?"

Ling Feng nodded and answered earnestly:

"Yes, this master said that the 'Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique' you practiced caused you to become young again every thirty years because you accidentally went astray when you were young."

She sighed and then said:

"Well, now is the time for me to disperse my cultivation. If you hadn't come today, we would have already been preparing to leave through the secret passage. Because of the flaw in my cultivation technique, one of my greatest enemies also knows about it, so she will probably come looking for me in the next couple of days."

Ling Feng knew who the great enemy she was talking about was.

However, now that Ling Feng has arrived, he certainly won't let them continue to hurt each other.

The two then chatted about other things. Although Tong Lao was still not over the news of Wu Ya Zi's death, her mood improved slightly.

Just as the two were chatting, a melodious Buddhist chant suddenly rang out.

"Senior sister, where are you? Junior sister is here to find you!"

Upon hearing this voice, the old woman's expression changed, and she exclaimed in surprise:

"Oh no, my mortal enemy is here."

Ling Feng's heart tightened upon hearing this, and he quickly comforted him:

"Uncle, rest assured, with me here, I will never let anyone harm you."

The old woman shook her head and sighed:

"No, Ling Feng, you don't know this. My enemy is incredibly powerful, she has reached a state of perfection. You are no match for her."

Ling Feng smiled slightly and said confidently:

"Uncle-Master, there's no need to worry. Even if she's very strong, it won't be easy for her to harm you in front of me."

When necessary, Ling Feng also showed off his muscles to avoid making Tong Lao worry too much.

Sure enough, when Ling Feng made this domineering declaration, Tong Lao was momentarily stunned, unsure whether what Ling Feng said was true or false.

However, it was too late for her to escape at that moment, and given her personality, she would never choose to run away.

"Junior disciple, what level are you at now? Are you really confident you can deal with that bitch?"

Seeing that escape was hopeless, the Old Woman placed all her hopes on Ling Feng.

Upon hearing her address him that way, Ling Feng immediately wore a confused expression, not even knowing how to answer the question.

After all, if you really want to be serious, Li Qiushui is his maternal grandmother!

But now was clearly not the time to think about these things, so he could only bite the bullet and say:

"I am currently at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, so as long as my master's enemy is not a Grandmaster, I can ensure his safety."

"Really? I didn't expect you to have reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm at such a young age."

"That's what the old woman said in surprise."

Hearing her praise, Ling Feng blushed and touched his nose, saying:

"Master Uncle is truly right. My skill is entirely due to the power my master imparted to me before his death; otherwise, I would not have reached my current level."

When Wu Yazi was mentioned, Tong Lao fell silent instantly, clearly thinking of something sad again.

Ling Feng really wanted to slap himself; this was clearly rubbing salt in the wound.

Now that there were no more worries, the old woman was no longer concerned.

Just as they were starting to feel relieved, another shout of killing suddenly came from outside.

Ling Feng thought to himself, "This is bad. It must be Li Qiushui instigating those people from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands to cause trouble."

They had been intimidated by his warning and dared not make any moves before, but now that Li Qiushui was backing them up, they no longer had any scruples.

Ling Feng didn't take them seriously, but he was worried about the safety of the women in the Nine Heavens and Ten Departments.

He silently prayed that they would be safe and sound, and at the same time decided to go out and resolve these troubles as soon as possible.

After all, these people will all be his subordinates in the future.
