Transplanting Flower and Wood was nothing more than a Profound Tier Lower Grade Martial Soul!
However, it possessed an incredible ability. It could directly transfer the Primordial Qi from someone else’s body into one’s own.
Hence the name, Transplanting Flower and Wood!
Inside the room, Yann Qing’er grew angrier and more aggrieved as she spoke, traces of tears welling up in her bright, large eyes. "Although Sister Xuee’s Martial Soul was shattered back then, when she returned to Piaoxue Palace, her realm was still at Half-Step Celestial Element. But overnight, her realm plummeted straight from Half-Step Celestial Element to Earth Element Second Heaven."
"Yun Feifei used Transplanting Flower and Wood on my sister?"
Lin Huang gritted his teeth, his expression chilling as he clenched his fists, producing loud CRACKS.
Yann Qing’er nodded silently. "Since that day, within a year, Yun Feifei surged directly from the Earth Element Realm to the Earth Element Seventh Heaven. Others thought Yun Feifei had experienced a sudden enlightenment. Only I knew that vicious snake Yun Feifei had plundered most of the Primordial Qi in Sister Xuee’s body."
Inside the room, Lin Huang’s face was ice-cold as thick murderous intent spilled from his lips. "Yun Feifei. I will definitely kill her!"
"At least you still have some conscience," Yann Qing’er snorted, then looked at Lin Huang with disdain. "But can you even kill her? Just relying on that broken iron shell of yours?"
"I won’t use the Array Puppet to kill her." Lin Huang knitted his brows tightly, his expression becoming incredibly ruthless. "Just wait and see. One day, I will make her fall into the dirt and kneel before my sister to beg for mercy."
Yann Qing’er looked at the black-robed young man in front of her. A strange look flashed through her bright, limpid eyes, but she still wouldn’t let him off easily. "She’s already at the Earth Element Eighth Heaven Peak now. She might break through to the Ninth Heaven or even the Celestial Element Realm any day. Do you have what it takes?"
"Not having it now doesn’t mean I won’t have it later!" Lin Huang grinned and said, "At the very least, I am Lin Cangxue’s brother. How could I embarrass the East Spirit Legend?"
With that, Lin Huang didn’t linger for a moment and headed straight for Celestial Waterfall Cliff. Perhaps... he needed to cultivate even more madly.
After Lin Huang left, Lin Cangxue stood outside the room, her face already dazed, with faint tear tracks on her cheeks. She had heard everything the two had just discussed.
The matter concerning Yun Feifei had always been like a sharp thorn piercing her heart.
Her once best sister had suddenly plundered most of her cultivation one day and continuously threw dirty water on her name. Relying on her Primordial Qi, Yun Feifei gradually distinguished herself in Piaoxue Palace, leaping to the position of second in the Inner Sect, and even acted like a proud peacock in front of her, showing off her beautiful feathers.
How could this not break her heart?
Who could she tell about these grievances?
She had already fallen from grace and lost all her dignity. Even if she publicly accused Yun Feifei, how many people would stand by her side? She was no longer the Lin Cangxue of the past, and Yun Feifei was no longer the Yun Feifei of the past.
Yun Feifei was second in the Inner Sect, the future hope of Piaoxue Palace.
This world always respected martial prowess above all.
But today, Yann Qing’er had spoken all of this for her, revealing a truth that even Shen Diexin didn’t know. Others all thought she had fallen from grace overnight, her realm plummeting by seven heavens, but how could they know that her cultivation had been plundered by Yun Feifei in a single night?
This sister she had once regarded as her closest family had ruthlessly betrayed her.
When she most needed comfort and help, not only did Yun Feifei withhold warmth, but she also stabbed her coldly and ruthlessly in the heart, viciously kicking her into the mud so she could never get back up.
Lin Cangxue still remembered how, within the span of half an incense stick burning after her cultivation was plundered, she had managed to learn Snow Falling on Earth—a technique she couldn’t comprehend before no matter how much she cultivated.
This was an Earth-Tier Martial Technique that everyone in Piaoxue Palace wanted to master, yet it demanded a massive price to be paid.
After leaving Lin Cangxue’s small courtyard, a suffocating anger still weighed heavily on Lin Huang’s mind. It felt as if a massive boulder was pressing down on his chest, leaving him breathless.
He had never imagined that Lin Cangxue would have suffered such an experience.
Beneath that frail-looking exterior, just how many bitter tears were buried?
She was the former East Spirit Legend!
And all of this had started because of his reckless misdeeds in the past.
Even after arriving at Piaoxue Palace, he still lived under Lin Cangxue’s protection. This woman, who clearly suppressed countless grievances in her heart, looked at him with a bright smile every day, burying all her sorrow deep within.
All of this was simply because he was her brother.
"Perhaps, I am still too gentle with myself," Lin Huang muttered along the way, his fists tightly clenched. The sense of injustice in his heart churned like a raging sea, unable to be vented.
"Get out here!"
Lin Huang suddenly stopped in his tracks and shouted fiercely.
Within a few breaths, a leisurely purple silhouette appeared behind Lin Huang. Looking at Lin Huang’s icy expression, the figure revealed a smile.
"Tsk tsk... To think you could discover me, you do have some strength. But being loud is useless; I don’t buy that act."
Lin Huang narrowed his eyes into thin slits. The purple-clad young man not far ahead was precisely the figure he had noticed outside Lin Cangxue’s courtyard earlier.
He wasn’t particularly handsome, but he possessed the aura of a fair-faced young scholar.
"You were looking for Miss Qing’er and Lin Cangxue just now," the purple-clad young man stated coldly. His long fingers constantly twirled and interlocked as a powerful aura quietly emanated and rushed toward Lin Huang.
Lin Huang’s face was like ice. "What does it have to do with you?"
The purple-clad young man smiled leisurely, but beneath the smile lay complete murderous intent. "If you’re looking for Lin Cangxue, it doesn’t matter, but if you’re looking for Miss Qing’er, you have to ask me, Songg Chaoyang, first!"
"Songg Chaoyang?!"
Lin Huang’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile gradually broke across the corners of his mouth. "What a great Flower Guardian. But this little threat of yours has absolutely no effect on me."
Songg Chaoyang’s breath hitched, and then he laughed involuntarily. "I really don’t know what gives a brat like you, who has just stepped into the Earth Element Realm, the right to be so arrogant in front of me. Fine, I’ll teach you a lesson so you can remember the name Songg Chaoyang."
With that, Songg Chaoyang thrust out his long fingers, tearing toward Lin Huang.
At this exact moment, Lin Huang’s expression suddenly changed. It wasn’t because Songg Chaoyang was attacking him, but because the Celestial Asura Martial Soul in his Profound Sea trembled slightly. An inexplicable, familiar feeling surged into his mind.
This feeling was exactly the same as when he was targeted by the Blood Crow’s Eye!
The sensation of being watched made Lin Huang’s blood run cold. It was an aura of extreme danger, so intense that every hair on Lin Huang’s body stood on end.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Huang’s palm directly swiped across his ring. A dark gleam instantly shot out, slapping Songg Chaoyang right in the face before his smile could even fully bloom.
Without a single struggle, Songg Chaoyang passed out cold. His chest caved in completely, and blood poured out.
"Skulking in the shadows, do you still not dare to show yourself, Blood Crow’s Eye?!"
With the Array Puppet guarding him, Lin Huang’s eyes were filled with vigilance. He stared intently at the empty air ahead, but the dangerous aura in his heart grew increasingly thick.
It wasn’t until half a quarter hour later that a figure wrapped entirely in a black robe appeared not far away. A hoarse, withered voice drifted out from under a black mask.
"Hand over the Ancient Scroll of Mountains and Rivers, and I will spare your life!"
"Heh... The Ancient Scroll of Mountains and Rivers again? You can have it if you want, but it will depend on your skills," Lin Huang said coldly, leaning against his Array Puppet. He didn’t care about the black-robed person’s origins.
Since the person had concealed themselves so thoroughly, asking would be a waste of breath anyway.
To dare to appear so brazenly in Piaoxue Palace, they had to be someone from the palace. And judging by their eyes, they didn’t seem to fear his Array Puppet, which meant their status in Piaoxue Palace was definitely not low.
They possessed at least the Celestial Element Seventh Heaven Realm.
"What a reckless fool. You think you can threaten me with a broken iron shell?" Under the black robe, a pair of murky eyes flashed sinisterly. The person looked at the cold Array Puppet beside Lin Huang, showing some hesitation. He didn’t fear the Array Puppet, but if they caused a commotion, the consequences would be severe.
Obviously, Lin Huang had also grasped this point. Without waiting for the black-robed person to ponder, the Array Puppet beside Lin Huang suddenly moved, hurtling toward the black-robed person to attack.
The old man under the black mask changed his expression and was subsequently forced to strike, engaging in battle with the Array Puppet.
Two dark figures suddenly appeared on Piaomiao Peak, crossing paths back and forth in combat. The black-robed person’s withered fists struck the Array Puppet, emitting loud CLANGS.
Lin Huang paced around, watching the black-robed person resist the Array Puppet. His eyes narrowed into thin slits; he actually couldn’t discern a single clue from the black-robed person’s movements.
He didn’t use a Martial Soul, nor did he use any Martial Technique. Even while fighting, his entire body was wrapped tightly, leaving no hints. Even his height was probably faked.
On the battlefield, Lin Huang looked entirely relaxed, while the black-robed person grew more and more anxious as the fight progressed. Under Lin Huang’s control, this Array Puppet wasn’t fighting to the death, yet it couldn’t be shaken off. If this dragged on, he would inevitably be exposed.
Sure enough, before the black-robed person had fought the Array Puppet for long, a powerful aura rose from the other side of Piaomiao Peak, heading straight toward their location.
"Kid, how about we make a deal?" the black-robed person spoke while dodging the Array Puppet’s attacks.
Lin Huang replied coldly, "I have no deal to make with you. Since you dare to scheme for the Ancient Scroll of Mountains and Rivers, you must pay the corresponding price."
"Tsk tsk tsk... What a stubborn little guy who won’t listen to reason!"
On the field, the black-robed person laughed sinisterly. The look he gave Lin Huang carried a teasing glint. Then, a single sentence slowly left his lips, causing Lin Huang’s heart to tremble.
"Don’t you want to know who crippled Lin Cangxue’s Martial Soul back then?"
