Chapter 266: Lei Lingyun's Breakdown!

Lei Lingyun watched as the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python was led away by Wang while a cold smile played on the corner of his mouth.

"Wang, my friend, don't blame me for being ruthless. Between your death and mine, yours would certainly be the preferable outcome."

With a flick of his sleeve, Lei Lingyun swiftly made his way towards the lair of the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python.

With the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python distracted by Wang, it was the perfect opportunity for Lei Lingyun to seize the celestial fruit within its lair.

In reality, Lei Lingyun had long been aware of the existence of the Purple Creation Fruit within the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python's lair. Inviting the man surnamed Wang was part of his plan, as he had planned to sacrifice him.

Little did he know, while he was playing the mantis to catch the cicada, the oriole was behind him. Ling Feng had already taken advantage of the situation and reaped all the benefits.

With incredible speed, Lei Lingyun soon arrived at the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python's lair.

"Hahaha! The Purple Creation Fruit is mine, Lei Lingyun's!"

Lei Lingyun's heart swelled with excitement. Despite some deviation from his original plan, the outcome was ultimately in his favor.

However, upon entering the lair of the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Where's the Purple Creation Fruit?

Where did it go?

Where is it!?

Lei Lingyun felt as if his heart had been shaken by a magnitude ten earthquake, and was utterly bewildered.

His complexion darkened like the bottom of a pot and veins bulged on his forehead, distorting his once handsome face into a terrifying expression!

Well, if the Purple Creation Fruit is gone, at least leave me with a vine!

What about the Purple Creation Vine?

It's gone too!

Well, even if you uprooted it, what about the Purple Spirit Liquid? You could at least leave some!

But it's all gone, not a drop left!

Lei Lingyun almost spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

Not to mention the spirit liquid that should have been there, even the soil soaked with a hint of spirit liquid was dug up!

The dirt was dug up!

Even the fucking dirt was dug up!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!

"Damn it! Who the hell did this? I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations!"

Lei Lingyun was on the verge of going insane right then and there. It was just too much!

It was just too fucking much!

"Despicable! Shameless! Utterly depraved! You damn bastard, I'll never let you off!"

Lei Lingyun roared furiously. His face was twisted with rage and his eyes were burning with fury, almost ready to spew out and incinerate everything around him into ashes.

He couldn't shake the realization that these actions were probably carried out by a human. Given the ambush he had faced, it seemed likely that both events were orchestrated by the same individual.

The thought of being used as a pawn, unwittingly aiding someone else, made him wish he could crash into a wall on the spot.

The valuable information he had acquired had come at a considerable price, and was obtained from the Eagle and Owl Black Market[1].

"If I find out who did this, I'll kill them! I'll definitely kill them!!!"

The furious roar echoed throughout the demonic beast lair, relentless and unending...

...

Meanwhile, Ling Feng, whom he labeled as the deranged individual, was joyously hidden within a mountain cave, indulging in the precious Purple Spirit Liquid.

The taste of this spirit liquid resembled that of a sweet and delectable wine, and was warming his core as it coursed through his limbs and body.

"Ah Choo!" Ling Feng suddenly sneezed while drinking, muttering to himself, "Damn, who's cursing at me again?"

Shaking his head and dismissing these thoughts, Ling Feng continued to drink about two ounces of the Purple Spirit Liquid. His body was already heating up, indicating that he couldn't afford to consume any more in the short term. He knew that allowing the spiritual energy within his dantian to surge uncontrollably could lead to adverse effects rather than benefits.

"Zifeng, stand guard for me. I need some time to refine and

absorb the Purple Spirit Liquid I just consumed."

Acknowledging the risks of being in an area teeming with demonic beasts, Ling Feng turned towards Zifeng. Although the cave provided some concealment, there was still a chance of being discovered.

"Hehe, Master, leave it to me," Zifeng jumped down from Ling Feng's shoulder. With a mischievous grin, he raised three fingers and said, "But Master, you'll have to give me thirty bottles of Purple Spirit Liquid for this little favor!"

"You have quite the appetite for someone your size!" Ling Feng was taken aback by Zifeng's audacity. He had only managed to fill fifty bottles of the spirit liquid, and now Zifeng was demanding thirty of them.

"Who's the master here, you or me? Ten bottles, and that's all!" Ling Feng furrowed his brows.

"Alright, alright, I'll take a little loss," Zifeng replied, sweeping his hand to collect the ten bottles of Purple Spirit Liquid nearby.

Ling Feng pursed his lips, and was unable to resist asking, "Zifeng, do you have a storage spirit ring too?"

"Of course not. My abilities allow me to open a small-dimensional space to store my belongings," Zifeng said with a gleeful smile. "Master, why not keep your things with me? I will definitely not eat or drink them secretly. I give you my word as a noble being!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, watching Zifeng's sly demeanor. He couldn't trust his belongings in this creature's so-called dimensional space. He casually said, "Alright, alright. I'm going to start refining the medicinal power now. Go guard the entrance!"

Zifeng's body shimmered with purple light as he transformed into a half-sized stone figure, and then took a seat at the cave entrance. With a bored tone, he remarked, "Come on, hurry up!"

Cross-legged, Ling Feng began the process of refining and absorbing the surging medicinal power within the dantian's Qihai acupoint, following the methods of the True Art of Xuanyuan.

As his limbs and joints emitted crackling sounds akin to popping beans, Ling Feng's consciousness gradually sank into a trance-like state. He guided the overwhelming spiritual power to break through one meridian gate after another.

...

Swoosh!

In the clear sky, a resounding arrow suddenly shot up, bursting into splendid fireworks that formed a shimmering "He" character.

It was a signal sent by He Zhongjie!

Lei Lingyun cursed as he rushed out of the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python's lair, spotting the signal overhead. He couldn't help but furrow his brow and mutter, "He Zhongjie? What does this guy want with me?"

Lei Lingyun drew a deep breath. Although he surpassed He Zhongjie in strength, Lei Lingyun couldn't afford to neglect him, given He Zhongjie's status as the young master of the commandant of justice residence.

"Forget it. The Purple Creation Fruit has probably already been consumed by some petty thief. There's no point in lingering here. If that Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python comes back and attacks me, I'll be in danger."

Lei Lingyun gritted his teeth fiercely, cursing the one who had taken the Purple Creation Fruit for generations, before flying off in the direction where He Zhongjie had signaled.

It stands as another major trading association within the Tianbai Empire, providing competition to the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce, the sole entity acknowledged by the Tianbai Emperor. While one holds the official recognition of the empire, the other operates as a black market. Nevertheless, the Eagle and Owl Black Market boasts a significant background of its own. ?
