Chapter 1617 - 1618: Burning with Jealous Fire! (4 Updates)
While Ling Feng was secluded in research on the Divine Desolate Treasure Box, news of his challenge to the Unrivaled Young Emperor had already shocked the entire East Spirit Immortal Pond.
In fact, the originally planned arrangements for Ling Feng’s promotion to the Inner Sect were temporarily shelved, allowing him three full days to prepare for this challenge.
This battle would be Ling Feng’s final one as an Outer Disciple, predestining him to become the most formidable, most monstrous Outer Disciple in the history of the East Spirit Immortal Pond.
"This Ling Feng defeated the first of the Outer Heaven Sword, and now, he’s daring enough to challenge a Young Emperor of the Inner Sect?"
"Haha, how interesting! I’ve heard Ling Feng fell for Qing Ping Fairy over time, so this time, it might just be over a fight for Qing Ping Fairy."
"Oh? There’s such a thing? If that’s true, then Ling Feng challenging for the sake of a red-faced calamity certainly shows some impressive spirit."
"One cannot deny that Qing Ping Fairy is stunning beyond compare, truly a red-faced calamity!"
"..."
The entire East Spirit Immortal Pond was abuzz with lively discussions, the rumors becoming more and more fantastical, until it had turned into a melodramatic story of Ling Feng and the Unrivaled Young Emperor fighting over a woman.
In the Heavenly Realm, Star Venerable Seat area.
Every powerhouse on the Creation Star List had a seat reserved for themselves, and those listed among the Top Ten Young Emperors were separated from the ninety others below, situated in a denser Spiritual Energy area, elevated like emperors among countless disciples of the Inner Sect.
At that time, in the area of the top ten seats, several men, exuding a formidable presence and with eyes like lightning, were seated on their respective seats, exchanging something.
Clearly, the matter of Ling Feng challenging the Unrivaled Young Emperor also surprised these Inner Sect elites, who also bore the title of Young Emperors.
Among them, a young man with white hair, with deep and vibrant eyes, curled into a smile at the corners of his mouth: "Rumor has it that Ling Feng joined the East Spirit Immortal Pond less than a year ago, rising all the way from the Outer Sect, achieving the name of Heavenly Kill Ten Extremes in the Hall of Conquest. It seems that his battle with Junior Brother Qin will indeed be interesting!"
"Haha, Senior Brother Murong, don’t tell me you are also interested in challenging Ling Feng personally?"
This Senior Brother Murong was none other than Murong Bai, ranked third among the Top Ten Young Emperors of the East Spirit Immortal Pond, while the top two have always been elusive and mysterious.
Since the Unrivaled Young Emperor had deliberately abandoned his cultivation to retrain and ranked eighth in the Inner Sect, there have always been whispers that with the Unrivaled Young Emperor’s talent, he could easily compete with the top three of the Inner Sect.
Now, as the Unrivaled Young Emperor completed his cultivation, breaking through the Emperor Realm, his first target was likely Murong Bai’s third Young Emperor seat.
Murong Bai’s expression was calm as he gently shook his head: "He is still too weak right now, not my adversary, it wouldn’t be honorable to defeat him!"
"Senior Brother Murong, don’t underestimate him, even an old-generation Heavenly Kill Ten Extremes like Yang Zhen fell to him, this Junior Brother is definitely not simple."
Murong Bai lightly shook his head, composed and confident, his demeanor calm yet exuding strong self-assurance: "I’ve heard of it, but he’s still far from being my opponent. At least, he must first pass Junior Brother Qin."
"Oh? It seems, Senior Brother Murong, you never think Junior Brother Qin is capable of threatening your standing as the third Young Emperor, huh? Haha..."
"The East Spirit Immortal Pond is full of hidden talents. No matter how fast Junior Brother Qin advances, I, Murong Bai, have never slackened for a moment."
A sharp glint flashed in Murong Bai’s eyes, and in the next moment, an immensely terrifying aura swept out, causing the other Young Emperors to turn pale with shock.
The top three of the Inner Sect, indeed each one is a monster!
...
The East Spirit Immortal Pond was stirred with winds and clouds.
The news of Ling Feng’s challenge to the Unrivaled Young Emperor spread in all directions!
Rumors that their battle was for the sake of Ling Feng’s interest in Qing Ping Fairy, fighting for a red-faced calamity, spread even without legs!
As the person involved, the Unrivaled Young Emperor was furious beyond belief!
Upon his return, the first thing he did was question Qing Ping Fairy on whether there had been any transgressions between her and Ling Feng!
Under his interrogation, Qing Ping Fairy dared not hide anything, confessing everything truthfully.
This included even the incident where Ling Feng helped her suck out the poison liquid from her chest.
Upon learning of this, the Unrivaled Young Emperor showed no gratitude for Qing Ping Fairy’s life-risking search for him, but instead was furious, cursing her as shameless and dissolute!
Despite Qing Ping Fairy’s earnest explanations, in the eyes of the Unrivaled Young Emperor, it was simply sophistry. He was like a rage-induced mad bull, wishing he could kill Qing Ping Fairy, the woman shaming him, on the spot.
Filled with grievance, Qing Ping Fairy finally understood that the perfect Unrivaled Young Emperor in her heart was non-existent, it was all her own illusion.
She suddenly realized that between her and the Unrivaled Young Emperor existed a crack long there, deliberately ignored.
Previously, without other men for comparison, the Unrivaled Young Emperor was her idea of perfect.
But after months spent with Ling Feng, she couldn’t help comparing with the Unrivaled Young Emperor—like, how the Unrivaled Young Emperor never cared for her, while Ling Feng, though appearing indifferent, actually showed her care in every detail, always inadvertently bringing her warmth.
In comparison, the Unrivaled Young Emperor was merely a selfish, self-centered hypocrite.
"You slut, I never should have let you near that rascal back then, leading to this point and shaming this Young Emperor!"
The Unrivaled Young Emperor did not care about Qing Ping Fairy’s feelings at all. What he cared about was the uproar outside, that his woman had developed feelings for someone else over time!
Having such a metaphorical green hat placed upon him, even if unfounded, drove him mad.
Sitting opposite, Qing Ping Fairy trembled in fear, her heart filled with bitterness. She looked in desperation at the man in front of her, opting not to explain further.
The innocent have their innocence, nothing improper happened between her and Ling Feng, so why explain?
Seeing her silent, the Unrivaled Young Emperor grew even more enraged, assuming Qing Ping Fairy’s acquiescence!
"Fine, fine, fine!"
The Unrivaled Young Emperor laughed angrily: "Slut, if that’s the case, I’ll grant you! If that rascal can walk off the challenge platform alive!"
Qing Ping Fairy’s heart clenched, tears in her eyes as she spoke: "Senior Brother Qin, even if you falsely accuse me, thinking I’m a shameless, lowly woman, I still don’t wish to see you harmed. This challenge, you... you’d better... refuse."
During her time at East Immortal River, she clearly realized just how mighty Ling Feng’s strength really was.
Even the current Unrivaled Young Emperor is probably no match for Ling Feng.
"Refuse?"
Hearing Qing Ping Fairy’s words, the Unrivaled Young Emperor was further infuriated, violently grabbing Qing Ping Fairy’s hair and cursing: "What, you think I will lose? That I’ll be defeated by that despicable rascal?"
"Ah!—"
Yu Qing Ping screamed, tears rolling down her cheeks as she looked at the man before her in despair, gritting her teeth: "He is stronger than you! At least, he never vents his anger on women!"
"Good! Very good!"
The Unrivaled Young Emperor coldly glared at Qing Ping Fairy, suppressing his fury, and pointed to the door, angrily saying: "Get out! Three days from now, this Young Emperor will show you just how miserably that rascal dies!"
Qing Ping Fairy clutched her delicate fists tightly, running out of the hall in tears.
Facing this man blinded by jealousy, she had no words left to say.
The Unrivaled Young Emperor, seething with rage, filled with the wrath of the Three Corpse Gods, with murder in his mind, watched her retreating form, roaring up at the sky.
"Ling Feng! I want you dead!!"
His sky-shaking roar almost reverberated through the entire East Spirit Immortal Pond!
