Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Fears for Life! (4 more updates)

The ghost-faced man in the black cloak looked at Lin Canglang’s "corpse" very calmly, his eyes showing neither joy nor sorrow.

He simply moved his fingers slightly, and the frost that had formed on Lin Canglang’s body all fluttered down, gradually restoring a trace of vitality.

"Your mission is not yet complete, how could you die here?"

The next moment, the ghost-faced man formed a mysterious hand formation and engraved an inscription that he injected into Lin Canglang’s body.

"Thud thud!"

Suddenly, Lin Canglang’s heart, which had stopped, began beating again.

"That should do it."

Having done all this, the mysterious ghost-faced man’s figure gradually faded, as if transforming into a streak of light, disappearing from sight.

"Cough cough..."

After a while, Lin Canglang, who had died and come back, coughed out a mouthful of frozen river water, his body uncontrollably shivering. "Hiss...so cold...so cold..."

Huh?

I can still feel cold?

The next moment, Lin Canglang suddenly opened his eyes and was surprised to discover that he was still alive!

"I’m still alive? I’m actually still alive?"

Lin Canglang incredulously looked at his own hands. Though his body was extremely weak, he was indeed still alive!

"Hiss..."

Above the ice field, the cold wind was biting. Lin Canglang couldn’t help but shiver and struggled to get up.

Staying here any longer, even though he wasn’t dead now, he wouldn’t last much longer before freezing to death.

"This is the second time! I’ve escaped death for the second time! Hahaha..."

"If I can’t die from this, it must be fate, fate! Ling Feng, just wait. Once my demonic powers reach Great Success, I will definitely crush you to ashes!"

Lin Canglang roared with laughter skyward, laboriously taking steps, trembling with each motion, slowly leaving the ice field.

...

Elsewhere, Ling Feng had returned to Xuanwu Village and found the villagers had already returned home.

Though many had died, as long as there were survivors, there was hope to rebuild their homes.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaofan was still in Xuanwu Cave refining the Xuanwu Treasure Blood. It seemed he would need more time to completely assimilate the treasure blood.

Seeing Ling Feng return alone, Gu Tengfeng immediately stepped forward to ask, "How did it go? Is the Ghost-faced Demon Lord dead?"

"Although I couldn’t find his corpse, given his condition at that time and falling into the deep, vast frozen river, there’s absolutely no chance he could have survived."

Ling Feng sighed lightly, never expecting that the former Sect Leader of the Wenxian Sect would transform into the Ghost-faced Demon Lord.

What was even more unexpected was that Lin Xian’er was actually the Master’s daughter!

However, having always regarded Lin Canglang as her father, she had sustained such a heavy blow this time that it was hard to know when she would recover.

"So it’s like this..." Goo Tengfeng furrowed his brows, "Failed to behead the Ghost-faced Demon Lord, and without any proof of identity, I’m afraid it’s going to be difficult to report back to the academy."

"We can only accept it." Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile, "The Frozen River is too deep and the temperature terrifyingly low, not to mention the rapid water currents. After so much time, who knows where it’s swept things off to; probably the demons have already eaten his corpse. Even if we went down to retrieve it, I fear it would be to no avail."

"It seems this endeavor is destined to be fruitless," muttered Goo Tengfeng, feeling gloomy. However, thinking about those unlucky fellows from True Dragon Academy who even lost their lives, he suddenly felt more balanced.

"By the way, how’s Miss Xian’er? Has she woken up?" Ling Feng asked in a deep voice.

Goo Tengfeng shook his head, "Not yet, Junior Sister Yun is taking care of her."

"Ah..." Ling Feng sighed lightly, "Take me to see her."

Soon, Ling Feng arrived at a very simplistic farmhouse, where Lin Xian’er was lying on a bed, and Yun Yiyi was taking care of her with great caution.

Seeing Ling Feng return, Yun Yiyi hurriedly made space for him to come forward and check.

Ling Feng sat beside the bed, observed Lin Xian’er’s complexion, and was inwardly surprised, "This isn’t right; given her cultivation and physique, she shouldn’t be unconscious for so long."

He frowned, gently lifted the corner of the quilt, and checked Lin Xian’er’s pulse again. After a moment, Ling Feng’s expression grew even more solemn.

Seeing the change in Ling Feng’s expression, Yun Yiyi couldn’t help but ask, "Junior Brother Ling, what’s wrong? Is there a problem with Xian’er?"

Ling Feng placed Lin Xian’er’s right hand back where it was, then said gravely, "I was careless! I’ve been too careless!"

"What exactly is going on? Tell me!" Yun Yiyi was becoming frantic.

"At that time, I was too focused on Lin Canglang’s matter and failed to notice that his Palm Force carried Demonic Qi. Normally, such a minor amount of Demonic Qi wouldn’t pose a threat to a Martial Artist at the Magnetic Condensation Realm, but at that moment, Xian’er was in a state of great despair, her body’s defenses at their weakest, allowing the Demonic Qi to attack her heart!"

Ling Feng paused before continuing, "And that Demonic Qi seems to trigger Xian’er’s emotions of sadness and despair. If the Demonic Qi isn’t removed, not only will Xian’er keep being unconscious, but she might also be at risk of losing her life!"

"What... What should we do?" Yun Yiyi, looking at the unconscious Lin Xian’er, was so anxious tears nearly streamed down.

"I can temporarily use the Soul Sealing Needle to seal Xian’er’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits, which can extend her life by three days. But during this time, we must find a Three-legged Fire Toad to dispel the Demonic Qi. Only..."

Ling Feng sighed lightly, "Where can I find a Three-legged Fire Toad at such short notice!"

Just as Ling Feng felt utterly at a loss, Goo Tengfeng suddenly slapped his thigh, excitedly saying, "Ling Feng, I remember now, in the southern part of the West Ridge Mountain Range in Beiliang County, there are sightings of Three-legged Fire Toads! Moreover, although Beiliang County is not a major commandery, it does have a branch of the Heavenly Alliance Commerce. We could also inquire there; perhaps they might have a Three-legged Fire Toad on hand!"

Hearing this, Ling Feng’s brow relaxed somewhat, and he nodded, "That’s good, let’s split up. I’ll search for the Three-legged Fire Toad, you and Senior Sister Yun head to Beiliang County, and we’ll meet again in Xuanwu Village in three days!"

"Alright, let’s do that," Goo Tengfeng nodded and then said, "However, maybe it would be better for Junior Sister Yun to stay behind to take care of Junior Sister Lin?"

"No need, I’ll bring Xian’er with me. I still need to perform acupuncture daily and can’t leave her here. Plus, if we find the Three-legged Fire Toad, I can use it on her immediately."

Ling Feng said coolly.

"Okay!"

Yun Yiyi and Goo Tengfeng both nodded. Without further delay, they hurried straight to Beiliang County.

Meanwhile, Ling Feng swiftly employed the Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Technique to seal Lin Xian’er’s spirit, then placed her into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, and immediately set out for the West Ridge Mountain Range.
