Chapter 686 Are You All in Cahoots with Her?
Ling Feng chuckled, "Look, this is directly opposite to where that person was hit just now. I have a strong suspicion that Yu Linglong might be right inside here!"
"Uh..."
Zhou Yi was a bit confused and looked at him before seriously saying, "Don’t be in such a hurry. It’s not dawn yet; we have plenty of time. We’re not in a rush to go back, so let’s just take our time to figure things out, huh?"
Ling Feng was startled, "What do you mean? Do you think I’m so desperate that I’m throwing a tantrum here?"
"..."
Although Zhou Yi didn’t express it in words, his worried gaze said it all.
Speechless, Ling Feng drew the God Slayer Saber, "Just watch. I have an intuition that she’s definitely here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the blade of the saber thrust directly into the stone wall, burying itself up to the hilt.
The rock wasn’t hard at all, and the God Slayer Saber was an extremely sharp weapon, making it easy to cut an opening in the stone.
As the blade penetrated, Ling Feng could distinctly feel that the resistance at the end loosened, indicating there was emptiness within!
Feeling confident his guess was correct, he did not withdraw the blade, but instead proceeded to cut directly along the direction of the stone door.
Moments later, a massive stone two meters tall and more than one meter wide was completely cut open and then fell towards Ling Feng’s side!
Both men quickly stepped out of the way, and after a thunderous noise, a dark cave appeared in front of them.
There was no need to enter. Standing at the entrance, Ling Feng and Zhou Yi saw Yu Linglong.
At that moment, she was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a complex expression, her eyes firmly shut, but her eyelashes were trembling slightly.
"I wasn’t wrong, was I?"
Ling Feng turned back triumphantly to look at Zhou Yi.
But Zhou Yi’s attention was entirely on Yu Linglong, because he could see that something was off with her.
She originally wore a white dress, but now it had turned a dusty gray, with blood on her chest, and it was clear she was currently channeling energy to heal her wounds!
So Zhou Yi hastily said, "Don’t be too proud just yet. Shall we help her?"
"I don’t know either!"
Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders and looked at Yu Linglong’s face, "You must be feeling conflicted right now, aren’t you? Hearing my voice, knowing that I’ve arrived, so you made a snap decision. And now do you regret it?"
Yu Linglong’s eyes remained closed, her complexion somewhat pale, but she bit her lip.
Ling Feng looked at her, "Don’t worry, I was looking for you anyway. Having found you this time, naturally I won’t ignore you. Not only will I treat your injuries, but I have a lot of questions to ask you too!"
As he stepped forward, Zhou Yi preempted him, "Let me do it. Even if she is an enemy, we should show her some respect."
Zhou Yi then approached Yu Linglong’s side, grasped her hand, and activated the teleportation!
The two vanished from sight, and Ling Feng shook his head helplessly, following them through teleportation to the Nine Heavens.
The treasure hunt was essentially over. Although they only obtained one item, it was the most important one, making the trip worthwhile.
Moreover, the unexpected discovery of Yu Linglong was the most surprising event.
This couldn’t just be described as an unexpected gain; it was as if fortune itself had intervened!
After entering the Nine Heavens, Ling Feng was no longer worried that she could leave, so he crouched down, grabbed her wrist, and checked it.
Yu Linglong had her eyes closed the entire time, but she knew she was no longer in that hidden cave. Her body was trembling slightly, and it was unclear if it was due to nervousness or the severity of her injuries.
After a careful examination, Ling Feng was astonished to find that her injuries were grave. Had she not been restraining herself with great effort, she might already have been gravely injured, even dead by now!
After the examination, Ling Feng looked at her exquisite face, "Don’t you have any healing medicine on you at all, relying solely on spiritual power for support? You even used that heavenly thunder earlier, which almost cost you your life! What were you thinking?"
Of course, Yu Linglong couldn’t answer because all her energy was focused on herself. At this point, her injuries were critically unstable, and she was at risk of losing consciousness at any moment. Once she passed out, she would lose control over her body and inevitably die!
Zhou Yi also realized this and glared at Ling Feng, "Whatever you want to say, you can ask her after she wakes up. What’s the point of talking now? Go get some medicine quickly, won’t you?"
"Fine, first give her this medicinal pill. It’s not dangerous for the time being. I’ll go get the medicine."
Ling Feng handed a medicinal pill to Zhou Yi and then turned to leave, heading straight for the Second Layer Heaven.
Li Shiyun and Wang Wan’er were both there, having recently become engrossed in gardening and often coming here to tend to the plants.
Seeing Ling Feng arrive, both of them asked in unison, "Back so soon?"
"Skipping some intermediary steps naturally speeds things up."
Ling Feng smiled, then said, "I’ve brought someone back who needs some healing medicine, I’ll be right there."
He quickly stepped into the woods and picked out several top-grade medicinal herbs.
By the time he came out, Li Shiyun and Wang Wan’er had already left.
Ling Feng hadn’t expected their curiosity to be so strong and shook his head as he left the Second Layer Heaven.
What he found outside was not just the two of them — Ling Yao and a whole group of girls were there too, even An Xue was joining in the excitement, standing there with a curious look on her face as she watched Yu Linglong.
Because she had taken that medicinal pill, Yu Linglong could now open her eyes. Seeing so many people watching her, she looked back at them, her eyes filled with bewilderment.
When she saw Huaihua, her eyes were even more astonished.
Seeing this, Ling Feng scoffed, "What? Are you scared?"
"Don’t say it like that, brother. She wasn’t the mastermind behind my kidnapping!" Huaihua said.
Ling Feng: "..."
He turned to look at her and couldn’t help asking, "What do you mean? Are you speaking up for her?"
"In the last incident, it was mainly those two men. She was quite nice to me. When Lu Changsheng wanted to bully me, she even stopped that guy," Huaihua explained.
Ling Feng gave a noncommittal grunt and then sneered, "That still doesn’t cover up the bad things she has done!"
"All right, Ling Feng, stop getting angry for now. Can you just heal her injuries first?" Zhou Yi gave him a stern look.
"Eh?"
Ling Feng was taken aback, suddenly feeling as if everyone had taken Yu Linglong’s side, leaving him the outsider!
So he scratched his head in confusion, "What’s going on here? Does this woman have some sort of magic? She hasn’t said a word, and you all side with her?"
"What are you thinking? The lady is injured. Shouldn’t we heal her first before talking about anything else?" Zhou Yi asked.
Ling Feng was speechless, and seeing everyone staring at him, he shook his head in dismay, "Fine, if I say anything else, you’ll probably all attack me, right? Is it okay if I just treat her?"
With that, he sat down, thought for a moment, and then deliberately turned his back to everyone, bowed his head, and started fiddling with the herbs.
Seeing his childish behavior, the girls covered their mouths and giggled among themselves, even Yu Linglong’s lips curved up at the corners.
