The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 167 First Encounter with Biyao: Biyao's Mission

Although it possesses remarkable recovery abilities, the damage it suffered this time was far too severe. No matter how tenacious and resilient it is, it will take at least ten days to half a month to fully recover.

Now that it has become Ling Feng's exclusive pet, Ling Feng will certainly not remain indifferent or stand idly by.

He quickly took out some highly effective healing medicine from the system space and handed it to the Blackwater Serpent, instructing it to take it quickly to accelerate the healing of its injuries.

As the Blackwater Serpent gazed at the invaluable healing medicines Ling Feng handed over, a barely perceptible ripple appeared in its cold, deep snake eyes.

These incredibly precious medicines were mostly painstakingly collected by Ling Feng from the terrifying Hundred Thousand Mountains and the mysterious Death Swamp!

Back then, whether in the perilous Ten Thousand Mountains or the treacherous Death Swamp, Ling Feng was invincible and unstoppable.

It's important to know that these two places were once almost completely off-limits to humans, and very few people dared to venture into them easily.

This is why it is home to countless rare and precious treasures, resembling a treasure trove yet to be discovered.

Now that Ling Feng has discovered these rare treasures, how could he easily let them slip by?

So he began to collect them extensively without any hesitation.

It's a pity that Ling Feng has a lot of rare and precious materials, but he doesn't know how to refine them. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to maximize the magical effects of these rare and precious materials.

After the Blackwater Serpent happily accepted the rare and precious materials given to it by Ling Feng, Ling Feng also learned the exact location of the Dripping Blood Cave from it.

Ling Feng made a special effort to find out the whereabouts of the Dripping Blood Cave for no other reason than that this cave was the residence of the Black Heart Old Man, the powerful demonic overlord who dominated the world more than eight hundred years ago.

Ling Feng was filled with curiosity about such an unparalleled powerhouse who could rule the entire demonic path, and he couldn't help but want to find out more.

Moreover, according to the original work, the Black-Hearted Old Man's cave not only contained the outline of the supreme treasure book "Heavenly Book", but also the incredibly powerful magic weapon, the Hehuan Bell.

Although Ling Feng already possessed the nameless sword and even more powerful techniques, he didn't take those two items seriously.

However, these are things that can be obtained without much effort, so it would be a pity to give them up like this.

Even if he doesn't need it himself, he can give it as a gift to someone else in the future!

Therefore, Ling Feng decided to leave the Blackwater Serpent to recover from its injuries while he led the other pets to the Dripping Blood Cave to search for treasure.

Just as Ling Feng was about to set off, he suddenly sensed two unfamiliar figures appearing on the riverbank.

Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have just arrived here. When they saw Ling Feng leading eleven incredibly powerful demonic beasts standing proudly and arrogantly, they were clearly frightened, so much so that they could only cower on the shore, not daring to utter a sound.

Ling Feng looked toward where the two were hiding. Because he had the special ability to see in the dark, he could still see everything around him clearly even in this pitch-black environment.

The two figures were hidden behind the jagged rocks on the shore. One was a young girl in a green dress, and the other was a middle-aged woman in black clothes and a black veil.

Looking at their attire and recalling the plot development in the original work, Ling Feng instantly knew who they were.

They must be Biyao, one of the heroines of Zhu Xian, and Youji, a mysterious figure from the Ghost King Sect!

Before Ling Feng could react, his eleven loyal pets seemed to have keenly noticed where their master's gaze was focused.

They all turned their heads curiously, looking in the direction Ling Feng was staring at, and instantly discovered where Bi Yao and You Ji were hiding.

Faced with the two unfamiliar figures, the impatient Blackwater Serpent, eager to show its strength, didn't wait for Ling Feng's command and unleashed a fierce magical attack, rushing straight towards the place where Bi Yao and You Ji were hiding like lightning.

The two people in this dark environment, thanks to their special night vision ability, easily detected the rapidly approaching danger.

Knowing that she could no longer hide, Youji made a quick decision and cast a spell to create a solid magical shield in an attempt to withstand the sudden and fierce attack.

In an instant, the powerful attack released by the Blackwater Serpent slammed into the solid barrier.

Since the Blackwater Serpent did not launch its full attack this time, although Youji was left disheveled and covered in dust by the impact, she ultimately managed to withstand the fierce onslaught.

She exerted all her strength and finally managed to withstand this extremely fierce attack.

However, she now realized that the strength of the demonic beasts before her was unfathomable and far beyond their ability to deal with.

Without hesitation, she turned around and urgently called out to Biyao beside her:

"Quick! Get out of here immediately! I'll cover you!"

But how could Biyao abandon her and escape alone?

She bit her lip tightly, her eyes firm and resolute, refusing to move an inch no matter what.

Her unwavering spirit and determination to live and die with You Ji were truly moving.

Just as the two were determined to face life and death together, the Blackwater Serpent felt humiliated because its attack had failed.

Enraged, it immediately decided to launch an even more ferocious attack with all its might.

Seeing that a great battle was about to break out, Ling Feng hurriedly waved his hand to stop the Black Water Serpent's actions.

It should be noted that in the vast and boundless world of Jade Dynasty, there are very few people who can win Ling Feng's favor.

Biyao is undoubtedly one of them.

Moreover, in her previous life, Biyao was an unforgettable regret for many fans of "Zhu Xian"! Ling Feng was no exception.

At this moment, having the opportunity to witness this woman who has captivated countless people, how could Ling Feng bear to watch her suffer the cruel and ruthless treatment of the Black Water Serpent?

Without hesitation, he waved his hand, signaling the Blackwater Serpent to stop.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Feng turned his attention back to Bi Yao and You Ji.

When Biyao and Youji saw that Lingfeng had successfully stopped the Black Water Serpent, their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down a little.

But just then, before Ling Feng could speak, Bi Yao suddenly pointed a finger at him and cried out in alarm:

"It's you! You're the legendary demon Ling Feng?"

Hearing Biyao's shout, Youji turned pale with fright.

She had just witnessed the power of the demonic beasts surrounding Ling Feng, and fearing that Bi Yao might inadvertently offend him, she hurriedly spoke up to stop Bi Yao before even verifying the truth of her words:

"Miss, please don't speak nonsense! How could this young hero possibly be the person you're describing!"

Seeing his identity so easily exposed, especially being identified as a great demon by his lingering resentment from his past life, Ling Feng felt embarrassed and awkward.

However, he came to his senses in just a moment.

Why should I feel embarrassed?

Then look at those two on the other side; they are the real, ruthless witches!

As the saying goes, "the pot calling the kettle black," what difference is there between them?

Moreover, Ling Feng's state of mind has changed at this moment. It is no exaggeration to say that Ling Feng has long since broken away from the traditional distinction between good and evil, and no longer has a clear definition of good and evil in his heart.

In his view, the so-called righteous sects are actually more detestable than the demonic sects; they are utterly hypocritical and sanctimonious.

The root cause of Ling Feng's transformation can be entirely attributed to the two so-called righteous sects, Qingyun Sect and Fenxiang Valley.

The Incense Valley, in particular, perfectly exemplifies the practice of confusing right and wrong and distorting facts, making it a model of such behavior.

This is why Ling Feng bears the infamous title of "Great Demon," which has spread throughout the entire Divine Continent, making him known to almost everyone.

All of this is thanks to the Incense Valley.

At this moment, Ling Feng's gaze was deep and unfathomable as he stared at Bi Yao and You Ji before him, and he asked them a question:

"Who are you? What brings you here?"

"I am You Ji, the Holy Envoy of the Ghost King Sect! The lady beside me is Bi Yao, the young sect master of my Ghost King Sect! I have come here to search for the legendary and mysterious Blood-Dripping Cave."

At this moment, her beautiful eyes were also fixed on Ling Feng, a look of surprise flashing in them, clearly indicating that she had just recognized him as well.

Upon hearing Ling Feng's question, You Ji answered without hesitation. The reason was simple: she knew that Bi Yao was simple and straightforward, and if she answered, she might inadvertently offend Ling Feng.

As the head of the four holy envoys of the Ghost King Sect, You Ji was very familiar with Ling Feng's deeds and naturally felt a bit wary of him.

Ling Feng was fully aware of all this, and the reason he asked the question was simply to get the conversation flowing.

Immediately following, under the watchful eyes of eleven ferocious-looking, fanged monsters around them, they engaged in an awkward conversation.

Ling Feng learned from their conversation that they had entered the Abyss of the Dead through another passage, which was why they were able to arrive here unnoticed and without disturbing the swarm of dark bats above.

If Ling Feng hadn't subdued the ferocious Blackwater Serpent beforehand, the two of them, with their mere Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation realm cultivation, would certainly have been unable to escape the Blackwater Serpent's gaping maw and would have inevitably suffered considerable hardship.

That's how it was in the original story.

Despite suffering severe injuries, Youji exerted all her strength to ensure that Biyao successfully reached the Dripping Blood Cave.

It was here that she found the mysterious and unpredictable Hehuan Bell.

In reality, all of this was a predetermined fate!

If she hadn't possessed this Hehuan Bell, perhaps she wouldn't have cast that heartbreaking love spell, and ultimately wouldn't have fallen into such a tragic situation.

However, life is unpredictable, and every sip and bite is preordained.

If she hadn't cast that love spell, she probably wouldn't have become the eternal regret and pain in the hearts of so many fans of Jade Dynasty.

Or perhaps, without this spell of infatuation, she might have turned to ashes on the spot and vanished into the world.

During the conversation between the three, Biyao gradually revealed her quirky, clever, and adorable side.

As the conversation deepened, her understanding of Ling Feng became more profound and comprehensive. The fear that had been lurking deep within her gradually disappeared, replaced by an increasingly calm, composed, and unrestrained temperament.

Ling Feng was naturally pleased with her unpretentious and genuine attitude.

Just then, the system in Ling Feng's mind issued another notification:

"Ding!"

"A brand new system task has been released!"

"The specific task requirements are as follows: To reverse the predetermined fate of Biyao, one of the female protagonists of the novel 'Zhu Xian'."

As Ling Feng carefully examined the specific task details before him, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Bi Yao in front of him.

At that very moment, a subtle ripple appeared in his eyes, which had been as calm as still water.

You must know that Ling Feng is in the prime of his youth at this moment, only in his early twenties, as fresh and delicate as the morning dew.

At such a vibrant age, they are already facing the twilight of life.

Especially when he encountered this "unresolved regret" from his past life, his heart felt as if it had been touched by a spring breeze, and waves of emotion were already rippling through it.

At first, he simply longed for Biyao because he had heard various rumors about her.

Now, as I gain a deeper understanding of her personality, this feeling grows stronger, like a flower bud in spring, eagerly awaiting to bloom into a magnificent flower.

Although Ling Feng already carried three heavy burdens in the world of Tianlong, when he faced this person who was the source of his regrets from his past life, those so-called concerns instantly vanished, replaced by an irresistible attraction.

At the same time, Biyao herself was undergoing a similar change in her state of mind.

At first, when she first heard about Ling Feng's deeds, the image that came to mind was that of an old man with a weathered face and wrinkles.

However, when she actually saw Ling Feng in person, she was greatly surprised—not only was he about the same age as her, but he was also elegant and dignified, shining like a bright star.

And so, the admiration for strength hidden deep in the girl's heart began to stir, and some subtle changes quietly occurred that she herself was unaware of.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this ignorance that she has not yet been able to understand the reason behind it.

After a relaxed and pleasant chat, the three people gradually gained a deeper understanding of each other.

At this moment, Ling Feng suddenly extended a sincere invitation to them, expressing his hope to embark on an adventure with them to explore the Dripping Blood Cave.

In fact, Ling Feng already knew exactly what was hidden in the cave. Those things were not very attractive to him and could be considered dispensable.

That's why he acted so generously and openly, taking the initiative to invite them to travel together.

Although Ling Feng's true intentions were not known to everyone, he himself was at least fully aware of them.
