"Well, I recently broke through to Earth Soul Realm Level Four. In Ling City, there shouldn't be many opponents left. Those hidden old fellows have been left behind by me."
The old man smiled proudly and looked at Elegant, asking seriously, "Sister, is something wrong? With the strength on the surface, Ding Lao is still around. Unless those Major Forces are launching a strong attack on Dingsheng Trading Company, there shouldn't be any problems."
Elegant shook her head and recounted what happened with Wei Chen, then made a request: "Elder Di, please go save him. That girl Qingling likes him; his talent is exceptional and he deserves her."
"To be able to fuse two types of Martial Souls together, heh heh, just this alone makes me want to seek out that friend for some advice. I've studied the fusion of two Martial Souls before, but I always fail at the crucial step. For him to succeed at Spirit Realm is truly impressive."
Elder Di stood up, his eyes still hazy, looking like an ordinary old man.
But the aura around him was something no one dared to underestimate.
"That girl Qingling, I haven't seen her in years. Is her condition better?"
"Somewhat improved; it's not completely cured. Sigh, I've searched for methods but still can't heal her illness," Elegant said, a hint of killing intent unconsciously surfacing in her eyes.
Elder Di sighed lightly as he walked. "This time when I go out, I should find a suitable opportunity to settle accounts with the Mu Family. You and Qingling have both grown up under my watch. As for Qingling's illness... heh heh, the Mu Family is truly ruthless. To use such malicious methods on an infant so that she can never cultivate... I will make them pay for this."
"Elegant, you don't need to worry about anything; what needs to be repaid must be repaid. What's the harm in turning Ling City upside down? At that time, we can withdraw and return to our family."
"Yes, I also don't plan to linger in Ling City any longer. The family is in a tight spot; I want to take revenge as soon as possible and then head back."
"Dingsheng Trading Company has operated in Ling City for hundreds of years. As long as we can take revenge and eliminate the Mu Family, there's no need for them to continue existing. After all, this place is barren; you've been assigned here by the family—thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing; this is a rare experience. It's just a pity that my sister cannot cultivate. It's hard to come across someone she likes; perhaps that Wei Chen will also be difficult to protect."
"Don't worry; when I make my move, even if high-ranking members from Soul Palace come, I can ensure his safety."
The two arrived at the surface and walked straight to Wei Chen's courtyard without stopping. They had Qing search for one of Wei Chen's personal garments. Elder Di didn't mind; he brought it close to his nose and took a sniff with a satisfied smile before suddenly rising into the air and vanishing.
Once Elder Di left, Elegant patted Qing's shoulder and said lightly, "Qing, during your time serving Young Master Wei, have you noticed anything unusual about him?"
"No. Wei Young Master is always cultivating and never takes a break."
"Has he treated you in any way?"
Qing's face turned crimson as she shook her head. "Wei Young Master has been very polite to me, always courteous."
"That's good. Don't worry, Wei Young Master will be back soon, and then you can continue to serve him."
Elegant gave a few instructions before leaving, summoning a servant to relay a message.
An hour later, an ordinary carriage arrived at the headquarters of Dingsheng Trading Company. Under the guidance of a servant, it made its way to Elegant's residence.
Elegant personally stood at the door to greet them.
A handsome young man jumped down from the carriage.
"Sister Qingya, your highest-level warning scared me out of the palace! Hahaha, is something serious happening?" His voice was soft, his features delicate, yet he exuded a powerful aura of Soul Power!
The Fourteenth Prince, Ling Cong!
"Whether it is or not depends on how you see it," Elegant said with a smile as she led Ling Cong into the room and brewed a pot of tea.
Ling Cong leisurely blew on the hot tea and said, "Sister Qingya, just speak plainly. I came all this way with great effort to avoid my brother's watchful eyes; it's not easy."
Elegant pondered for a moment and replied, "Ling Cong, you possess great talent and a steady mind. The Ling Sheng Dynasty will undoubtedly be yours. Our Dingsheng Trading Company has been secretly supporting you; you know that."
"Yes, once I become emperor, your Dingsheng Trading Company can monopolize one-third of the Merchant Guild in the Holy Dynasty. That is my promise to you," Ling Cong said calmly.
"The opportunity has arrived. Our Dingsheng Trading Company will soon take action against the Ancient Spirit Academy. We will settle our grievances in one go. The Ancient Spirit Academy will surely suffer greatly, and the Soul Palace will not miss the chance to attack them. Right now in the Eastern Wasteland, the Ancient Spirit Academy and the Soul Palace are locked in fierce conflict. At that time, how can they sit idly by? The entire Ling City will inevitably be thrown into chaos; your opportunity lies here. It’s up to you how to seize it."
“Is this true?” Ling Cong exclaimed, putting down his teacup and staring intently into Elegant's eyes.
Elegant nodded and replied, “Would I joke about something so serious?”
“You at Dingsheng Trading Company have the strength to deal with the Ancient Spirit Academy?”
“Haha, our strength is beyond your imagination. Even your royal family might not be able to handle us at Dingsheng Trading Company. Do you believe that?”
“I do.”
Ling Cong stood up and began pacing nervously around the room. He suddenly asked, “That Wei Chen, he’s now a guest elder of your Merchant Guild, right? He practically cuckolded my brother, being all intimate with Mu Qingyan from the Mu Family in Eryuan City. I can’t believe my brother has been so tolerant and hasn’t sent anyone to kill that Wei Chen.”
“A typical Spirit Wisdom Realm expert wouldn’t be able to kill Wei Chen. After Wu Yi died, Elder Wu, in a fit of rage, sent two Spirit Wisdom Realm experts to assassinate Wei Chen. He didn’t suffer a scratch; instead, he killed one of them. If your brother really sent someone to kill him, he wouldn’t gain anything from it,” Elegant said with a smile.
Ling Cong was astonished. “He’s that formidable?”
“Otherwise? Ling Cong, you should prepare well for the upcoming chaos in Ling City. Don’t worry too much about Wei Chen; he’s one of ours at Dingsheng Trading Company.”
“Alright, I understand. Once this is accomplished, I will keep my promise; I can’t afford to offend your Merchant Guild,” Ling Cong said with a smile as he left Dingsheng Trading Company.
Elegant watched Ling Cong leave and thought to himself, “It’s truly strange that the Crown Prince hasn’t sent anyone to kill Wei Chen. Normally, no man could tolerate his fiancée being close with another man, right? The situation between Wei Chen and Mu Qingyan is indeed troublesome. How will we deal with the Mu Family? Hopefully, it won’t lead to any major unpleasantness; we must avenge our grievances against the Mu Family! Elder Di has just broken through; this is the best opportunity.”
Wei Chen pursued the figure in black but did not fly at full speed, maintaining a steady distance behind him until they reached an uninhabited area hundreds of miles away from Ling City.
“Black robe, stop running! Can’t you tell I’m not even trying hard to catch you? If I flew at full speed, you wouldn’t stand a chance,” Wei Chen called out loudly.
The figure in black stopped and turned around to glare at Wei Chen with a sinister smile. “You really have some guts! Dare to chase me all the way here alone? Didn’t you realize that I intentionally lured you here? There’s no one around; killing you here would be clean and simple.”
“At this point, we’re in agreement; I was thinking the same thing—killing you here sounds perfect,” Wei Chen retorted coldly with a smirk.
"Kill me? Hahaha, are you dreaming? That's the biggest joke I've ever heard in my life! Although you can merge two Martial Souls and possess some talent, your absolute Soul Power is simply too weak! Bastard, those who know their place are wise; you shouldn't be chasing me. Finding a place to hide and slowly cultivate is your only way out. Chasing me is just asking for death!"
"Unfortunately, that's not my style. Whether I seek death or not, you'll find out soon enough. The Pinnacle of Spiritual Wisdom is indeed powerful, but it's not enough to make me afraid."
"Oh really? Then let's see what you've got!"
The figure in the black robe suddenly roared, lunging forward with a mighty Palm Power that slammed hard against Wei Chen's chest.
"Is it about strength? Old man, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Wei Chen shouted coldly, not dodging at all, and swung his fist fiercely, crashing into the black robe's chest.
The Palm Power and Wei Chen's fist struck each other almost simultaneously. Wei Chen was sent flying back several dozen steps before he managed to steady himself, while the black robe remained completely unfazed. To him, Wei Chen's punch was nothing but a tickle. However, his Palm Power made Wei Chen spit out blood.
"With this little strength, you dare compare yourself to an Old Man? You can't even break through the Old Man's protective Soul Power!"
"Come again!"
Wei Chen shouted angrily and charged forward again, gathering all his strength for another punch.
"If you want to seek punishment, I'll oblige!"
The black robe sneered and struck out with his palm again. Wei Chen was sent flying once more, blood gushing from his mouth. The black robe showed no reaction; the gap in their strength was simply too vast. Wei Chen truly couldn't even break through his protective Soul Power!
"Child, stop wasting your effort. Are you insane?"
Seeing Wei Chen charge at him again, the black robe felt helpless. This child was clearly seeking punishment; could there be some trickery involved?
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Wei Chen's fist made contact with his chest but suddenly loosened. Five points of force pierced through his protective Soul Power, leaving five bloody holes on his chest.
The wound was not deep enough to be fatal, but Wei Chen's five fingers were like sharp blades, ruthlessly plunging into the chest of the figure in black, piercing three inches deep!
Wei Chen was once again sent flying, his internal injuries severe, yet in his hand, he clutched a piece of flesh torn from the black robe's chest, with hints of white bone still visible.
Looking at the figure in black, a palm-sized hole appeared in its chest, with the pulsating lung faintly visible within.
"Die!"
The figure in black activated its Soul Power to protect the gaping wound, its eyes blazing with fury as it fixed its gaze on Wei Chen. With a sudden jerk of its right arm, the sleeve ignited in flames, revealing a withered arm beneath. An extremely dangerous aura emanated from that arm.
"Grab him!"
The figure in black roared as that arm suddenly elongated, reaching out toward Wei Chen. The five fingers transformed into black chains, wildly wrapping around Wei Chen's body and pulling him toward the figure.
A massive spike hovered before the figure in black, and as the arm pulled Wei Chen closer, they were violently thrust toward the spike!
If they collided, Wei Chen would be dead beyond any doubt!
"Child, the power of a Sixth-Rank Advanced Soul Technique is beyond your imagination. Prepare to die!"
The figure in black cackled madly as Wei Chen was drawn near, on the verge of crashing into that spike!
A fierce wind whipped across Wei Chen's face, and a pair of chilling eyes appeared within the line of sight of the figure in black.
