Chapter 622: All Thanks to Master

Chapter 622: All Thanks to Master

The two sides clashed in a chaotic scene, with thick black smoke and swirling sands.

It resembled a battlefield of fierce combat. As the dust settled, both parties momentarily stood off, glaring at each other and occasionally exchanging some trash talk, like dogs barking at each other, refusing to lose face.

The two young disciples of the Demon Sect had sustained injuries, and the Refining Demon Sect’s strength had greatly diminished. They no longer had the courage to face the cultivators head-on; continuing the fight could lead to more trouble.

The cultivators were in a similar predicament. Already at a disadvantage, they dared not initiate an attack. They merely glared back at their opponents, uttering a few words to boost their morale.

After a tense standoff, everyone had no choice but to retreat, fearing any delays in treating their injured comrades.

Withdrawal.

The Refining Demon Sect retreated, and the cultivators followed suit, leaving behind a chaotic battlefield littered with scattered bodies, a scene of devastation.

Quickly, silence returned to the scene—rushed in, rushed out.

……

“Yiting, you truly are a genius at calculations, it seems you really did bump into him.”

“Mm-mm, after all, we share a fateful connection, our hearts are in sync.”

Mu Yiting gently cradled Lin Nuo, who was collapsed in her embrace, speaking softly and cautiously, as if afraid to wake him.

Lin Nuo now lay weak and quiet against Mu Yiting’s soft chest, fast asleep.

“The Refining Demon Sect and the cultivators have both retreated. It seems my son-in-law is truly capable, but he’s injured and needs treatment.”

“Right, give him some pills to stabilize his condition for now. Let’s get him out of here.”

“This incident might seriously hinder Helong Hall’s power. It could lead to a split, and we might be in danger too.”

“Don’t worry, Dad. As long as we cooperate with him, we will definitely be able to dominate the area and become a major force.”

Mu Yiting said confidently, then they placed Lin Nuo onto a carriage and departed in haste.

Lin Nuo remained in Mu Yiting’s arms, who wanted to be close to him, feeling his body temperature to ensure he was okay.

However, Lin Nuo carried a strong fragrance, one reminiscent of the Xuanyun Sect, mixed with something akin to Ling Meng.

Generally speaking, it would be natural to feel furious if one’s fiancé smelled of other women.

Yet, after witnessing those recent explosions and seeing Lin Nuo weak and injured, Mu Yiting could not feel anger; instead, she felt heartache. To be angry at Lin Nuo in such circumstances would be inhumane.

Moreover, as a good wife, she ought to understand him and support him unconditionally.

“Let’s go back, return to our home.”

The carriage sped off into the distance, gradually disappearing from sight.

……

Refining Demon Sect, Blood-Bathing Demon Hall.

Ling Meng had been brought back, and Ling Yuan was anxious. After all, she was his only daughter. Although he usually set high expectations for her, he genuinely cared. Seeing her in trouble made him extremely distressed.

Those two brothers from the Chen family were truly heartless, disregarding his daughter’s life!

He was furious, slamming his hand on the table with such force that it shattered under his might.

The disciples were alarmed, realizing their master was truly furious.

But soon, Ling Meng regained consciousness. She was not seriously hurt.

“Ling Meng, how are you? Is there anywhere you feel unwell?”

Ling Yuan was frantic, his usual stern demeanor replaced with that of a worried father, leaving the disciples astonished.

“Where is this?”

Ling Meng looked around and discovered she had returned to the Blood-Bathing Demon Hall.

“This is the Blood-Bathing Demon Hall?”

“Yes, it is. At that time, Chen Tu disregarded your safety, throwing demon bombs to kill the cultivators. There were masters blocking him, but Chen Tian also rushed in afterward to throw demon bombs and erected barriers, so we couldn’t get close. In the end, when the smoke cleared, we saw you collapsed,” Ling Yuan said anxiously.

“Masters? Oh, that was my Master, Wu Ying Ge.”

“Wu Ying Ge? Is it really him?”

Ling Yuan was shocked; that person was Wu Ying Ge? His strength was astonishing, able to easily block Chen Tu’s demon bombs.

“Yes, it was him. Father, did you see? He came to rescue me when he saw I was in danger. His strength is obvious, completely surpassing Chen Tian and Chen Tu.”

“Ling Meng, are you sure he is your Master? I didn’t see him possess much demon qi.”

Ling Yuan was skeptical.

“That’s precisely his strength; on the surface, you can’t discern his level. His aura is even less than that of an ordinary demon disciple. I initially thought he was weak too, but later I changed my mind. This is about hidden strength—someone so powerful they can easily conceal it, something Chen Tian and Chen Tu can’t achieve.”

Ling Meng spoke excitedly, completely devoid of the weakness she had just moments ago; she was now lively.

“Ling Meng, let’s not talk about him for now; how is your body? Don’t get agitated right after waking up.”

“My body? I’m perfectly fine! I remember being injured, but my Master healed me and even enhanced my strength. I could summon the Dragon Shadow back then!”

“Dragon Shadow??”

Ling Yuan was once again astonished. Summoning the Dragon Shadow required exceptionally high strength and the right opportunity; it couldn’t be summoned at will. The Dragon Shadow had become a symbol of nobility and power within the Refining Demon Sect.

However, no matter how he looked at it, Ling Meng didn’t seem powerful enough to summon the Dragon Shadow; he himself couldn’t do it, and only a few top demon practitioners within the sect could achieve such a feat.

“Are you sure you’re not hallucinating? The Dragon Shadow is not that simple to summon.”

“No, I have a clear memory. It’s not a hallucination; I can definitely show you.”

Ling Meng tried to showcase her Dragon Shadow, but this time she was unable to summon it, no matter how she adjusted her cultivation techniques.

She felt none of the initial feelings, that passionate anger, especially when facing that female cultivator, as if her potential had been triggered.

“Okay, don’t push yourself. You don’t want to worsen your injuries. No matter what, it’s good that you’re safe and sound.”

“That’s all thanks to Master. Father, everyone who went to Helong Hall’s birthday banquet was saved by Master. He was there at the time, hinting me to use Earth Wind Tide, and then when the situation worsened, he broke the demon array in the mansion, allowing our Demon Soul Power to recover.”

“He was there? How do you know he was the one who broke it?”

Ling Yuan grew increasingly astonished; how did he even get there? Did he not fear being detected while practicing demon arts?

In fact, they truly hadn’t noticed any powerful demon practitioners arriving, which was indeed strange.

“It had to be him. Although I didn’t personally witness it, I can be sure—it’s because only he has the ability to dismantle the demon array unnoticed, providing us with a chance to escape.”

Ling Meng stated firmly.
