Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 970 - 980: Targeted

The two had made vows of eternal love in their early years. But later, due to Chang’e’s betrayal and Chu Feng’s death, all the promises vanished.

It wasn’t until the truth was revealed that Chu Feng realized he had misunderstood Chang’e.

All the evil lay with the Panlong Heavenly Emperor.

As Chu Feng cast the spell, the blood ginseng transformed into a cloud of blood energy and merged into Chang’e’s spirit platform.

Her originally pale, bloodless face finally had a tinge of color. The long-absent vitality appeared above her head.

A dying person is like a candle about to be extinguished, with very little vitality above their head.

Her eyelids faintly fluttered.

"Mmm..."

After a soul-stirring sigh, Chang’e finally slowly opened her eyes. She looked still somewhat weak, like someone who hadn’t fully woken up.

"Chang’e, you’re finally awake!" Chu Feng joyfully held her delicate hand, gazing at her deeply.

"Feng... Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I’m not worth your sacrifice like this..." Though in a coma, Chang’e seemed to know very well everything Chu Feng did.

She was probably still feeling guilty and blaming herself for hurting Chu Feng years ago.

Even though she was controlled by the Blood Slave Gu, involuntarily, she still could not forgive herself.

"Without deep love, one cannot stay in the Saha world. Without profound affection, one cannot sink into reincarnation. In this life, I fear I’ve become deeply ensnared in the cycle of love, unable to extricate myself." Chu Feng successfully awakened Chang’e and preserved her life, feeling extremely pleased.

Rarely, he declared his true feelings to her with a humorous tone.

She giggled~!

Chang’e couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Feng, you’ve really changed. You used never to speak such sweet words, only expressing your affection through actions." If there’s anyone in this world who knows Chu Feng of the past life the best.

It must be Chang’e.

Because she spent a long time with Chu Feng in his past life, the two were inseparable.

"Ah~ In the past life, it was because I was too introverted and not good at expressing myself that I left many regrets. After rebirth, I started as a minor character and cast off the auras of status, reputation, and prestige from the past life. Along with the people and things I encountered and the special environment, I gradually changed."

Chu Feng reflected on his early days of rebirth, filled with mixed emotions.

"By the way, your Sixth Soul is missing. Though I used a secret technique this time, substituting your essence with the blood ginseng, it will have certain side effects. So, you must recuperate well during this period. I will consult Wen Shu to find a way to eradicate the side effects."

In his previous life, Chu Feng had countless times dreamed of spending his lifelong days with Chang’e.

Now able to hold the hand of his beloved and be together, watching her live well, Chu Feng felt immensely satisfied.

"People like me should have died long ago! Being able to live until now, every extra day feels like a windfall." Chang’e was still immersed in deep self-reproach, unable to extricate herself.

"Chang’e, look into my eyes! Remember, from now on, I won’t allow you to say such things again. You are mine; I won’t allow you to die, and thus you cannot die. In the future, I still wish to wander the world with you, love until time’s end. If you die, who will be with me?"

Chu Feng grabbed her fragrant shoulders and stared at her intensely.

"Shishi is still at the Penglai Auction; I’ll go pick her up first. You stay here and recuperate well."

Chu Feng quickly kissed her forehead, didn’t wait for her reaction, and left the secret chamber with a smile.

At the moment of being kissed by Chu Feng, Chang’e felt like she was electrically shocked.

Even though Chu Feng had been gone for a long time, she still remained dazed and lost in thought.

...

Once Chu Feng exited the secret chamber, he walked casually outside.

Yet, after just a few steps, he sensed something was amiss.

Specifically, it was hard to say, but there was a feeling of being watched. As if a pair of eyes in the dark were staring here.

"Could it be the Panlong Heavenly Emperor has come knocking so fast?" Chu Feng’s heart suddenly sank.

If it were just the Panlong Heavenly Emperor alone, there was no need for concern.

Chu Feng was completely confident in dealing with, even killing, the Panlong Heavenly Emperor with his current power.

What truly made Chu Feng afraid were the four masters from the Undying Tomb.

Lord Corpse Blood’s Blood Corpse King, equivalent to a Nine Tribulations Supreme Sword God, was extremely terrifying.

Perhaps when Chu Feng’s Demon Body cultivates successfully on the first level of the Blood God Great Method, he will be able to confront it. For now, Chu Feng knows clearly he is no match for those people.

Even crafting a Ninth Grade Talismanic Elixir wouldn’t be enough to defeat them.

"For now, let Shishi temporarily stay at the Penglai Auction’s contact point. Anyway, I haven’t settled the accounts yet, and that Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Elixir fetched a sky-high price of three million spirits."

After deducting the seventy thousand spirits owed for the purchase of Soul Loss Sand and a ten percent commission, Chu Feng could still get two million spirits.

Therefore, even if Li Shishi stays there for a long time, the food and lodging costs would be more than sufficient.

The enemy is lurking, while Chu Feng is in the open. The best strategy now is to remain unchanged to cope with all changes.

If he rashly moves Chang’e to a different location, it would be more dangerous.

Besides, the Pill Masters of the Longevity Hall followed Chu Feng over ten thousand miles from the Imperial City of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country to here. Naturally, they also need to be cared for.

Although Chu Feng had a fallout with the Vermilion Bird Emperor, and it hasn’t yet become a complete vendetta, there’s reason to believe a day of armed conflict will come.

The Longevity Hall in the Vermilion Bird Imperial City is currently in a very precarious situation.

It’s easy for Vermilion Bird Emperor to wipe it out.

Thankfully, the Vermilion Bird Emperor has not yet taken action. Perhaps due to concerns.

After all, Chu Feng’s Great Chu Empire is very powerful, with enormous potential.

If Chu Feng is annoyed and the Great Chu Empire launches an attack on the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country, things could escalate significantly.

"I’ll stabilize my realm first, take the other two Sword Bodhi, and raise my cultivation to the Six-star Sword God level before I say more."

Currently, Chu Feng is at the Four-star Sword God Realm, which might not mean much in the face of strong enemies.

But to him, it’s a rapid advancement.

...

Without disturbing Chang’e, Chu Feng returned to another secret chamber and fully focused on enhancing his cultivation.

The Sword Bodhi is indeed a treasure. Consuming one pill can raise cultivation by one level.

The only trouble is stabilizing the realm.

However, it’s much better than needing several years, even a decade, to climb up even a small realm.

In just over half a month, Chu Feng’s cultivation advanced to the Six-star Sword God Realm. Compared to before entering the Penglai Auction, he ascended three levels.

He could sense that the Sword Essence within him had also multiplied.

Without a doubt, his combat power has now grown to a greater level.

Yet it’s still insufficient; according to Chu Feng’s plan, he needs to ascend to the Supreme Sword God level to truly possess the strength to battle formidable enemies without relying on Demon Body and Talismanic Elixirs.

Unless facing a particularly weak Supreme Sword God, Chu Feng stands a chance of winning.

After consuming all the Sword Bodhi, he entered the Alchemy Room, replenishing with two Ninth Grade Talismanic Elixirs and some essential elixirs.
