Chapter 347: The Black Lotus!

The black flame stayed in Lin Pheng's eyes for a few seconds and then vanished. Lin Pheng's facial expression returned back to normal, he then glanced at the crowd stupefied.

At that moment, everybody was looking at him and Yu Qiu had disappeared.

"What happened?" Asked Lin Pheng while narrowing his eyes a little bit. He had distinctly seen four colourful ribbons in the distance and immediately after he was absorbed into the world with the celestial book, after that, he had no idea what had happened.

"Cough!" Lin Pheng coughed up some blood. The pure Qi under his feet was getting weaker and weaker to the extent that it was collapsing under his weight. Lin Pheng then descended from the sky and landed next to Lan Jiao. He quickly asked: "Where is Yu Qiu?"

"He's dead." Replied Lan Jiao surprised. That guy surprisingly didn't know anything about the moment after Yu Qiu was about to kill him, and he was just focusing on his breakthrough, he was unreal.

"A moment ago, four women appeared and crippled Yu Qiu's cultivation and announced that the Yu Clan was banned from coming to the Lovesick Forest from now on, then one of the princess' guards killed Yu Qiu." said Lan Jiao while glancing at Duan Wu Ya. Lin Pheng looked perplexed, Yu Qiu wanted to kill him and in the end, he had ended up dead himself. Lin Pheng couldn't believe it, he knew that if Duan Wu Ya invited him here, nothing bad would happen, but he would have never thought that Yu Qiu was going to die as a result.

Lan Jiao had just mentioned four women who banned the Yu Clan from coming back to the Lovesick Forest which meant that they represented the owner. They couldn't be Duan Wu Ya's people, so, why did they save him and cripple Yu Qiu's cultivation? Could Duan Wu Ya have done something?

"Lin Pheng, you're amazing." Said Duan Wu Ya while smiling to Lin Pheng.

Lin Pheng had surprisingly fallen into a cultivation trance when Yu Qiu was about to kill him, he was an exceptional talent. No wonder that he had such terrifying abilities.

Lin Pheng looked at Duan Wu Ya and looked confused. There were too many things that he didn't understand about what had happened.

Why did Duan Wu Ya invite him? Had he voluntarily invited Lin Pheng and Yu Tian Xing at the same time hoping that Lin Pheng would kill him? But, if he had, what was his purpose?

Besides, how come Yu Qiu appeared at the precise moment when Yu Tian Xing was in danger, when Lin Pheng wanted to kill him?

Finally, who were those four women? Why had they saved him and crippled Yu Qiu's cultivation.

Lin Pheng couldn't clearly see the bigger picture, he was missing something and couldn't understand why everything happened as it did.

"Lin Pheng, this is for you."

At that moment, Duan Xin Ye was handing a bottle of pills to Lin Pheng which stupefied him, he then asked: "What's this?"

"It's to heal your wounds." Replied Duan Xin Ye while smiling, after which Duan Wu Ya narrowed his eyes.

Lin Pheng understood how extraordinary these pills were when he noticed Duan Wu Ya's peculiar facial expression.

"Princess, my wounds are not severe at all. I just need some rest and I'll be in top condition again." Said Lin Pheng while refusing the pills.

"You called me princess again!" Duan Xin Ye looked disappointed and tried to hide her bitterness, which made Lin Pheng smile wryly: "I'm sorry, Xin Ye."

"Alright, take these, only then will I forgive you." Said Duan Xin Ye while handing the bottle over to Lin Pheng.

Lin Pheng had no alternative, he smiled wryly and accepted the bottle. Immediately after, he opened it, inside, there were nine yellow pills, there was Qi being released from the pills and it gave off a pleasant fragrance.

Lin Pheng took out a pill and swallowed it. After taking it, a pleasant and refreshing Qi spread through his blood vessels, repairing his internal organs and restoring his lost blood. Lin Pheng could even sense each and every single cell healing, as if every part of his body was healing at miraculous speed.

"What a powerful pill." Thought Lin Pheng. These pills were extremely precious.

"Xin Ye, one pill is enough to heal my wounds, you can keep the rest." Said Lin Pheng while closing the bottle again, then he handed it back to Duan Xin Ye.

Duan Xin Ye glanced at Lin Pheng and grabbed the bottle. Those pills were precious, they were Xuan level pills of medium quality, one was enough to cure all of Lin Pheng's wounds.

Yue Tian Chen, who was next to them, looked at Lin Pheng with an ice-cold glare. He could see how friendly Duan Xin Ye was to Lin Pheng. Yue Tian Chen's entire body was filled with killing intent, he deeply despised Lin Pheng and wanted him dead. He even hated Yu Qiu for not killing Lin Pheng a moment before. If only the four women hadn't appeared, Lin Pheng would be dead.

Lin Pheng's senses were extremely acute, he immediately sensed Yue Tian Chen's glare. He turned around and coldly looked at Yue Tian Chen. In an instant, Yue Tian Chen lost his composure and started shaking while lowering his head, he didn't dare to look at Lin Pheng in the eyes.

Lin Pheng did not hesitate to kill Yu Tian Xing, if Yue Tian Chen provoked him, the same thing would happen to him. Yue Tian Chen hadn't become crazy.

"Worthless scum." Said Lin Pheng which made Yue Tian Chen's heart leap, his face even turned red.

In the past, that worthless scum was extremely arrogant because he was a member of the Yue Clan, so he looked down on Lin Pheng as if he was an insect to be crushed. However, Lin Pheng was now humiliating him and calling him scum in front of everybody. Yue Tian Chen didn't even dare to contradict Lin Pheng. Lin Pheng only had to glance at him and he would freeze in terror. He didn't even dare to look in the direction of Lin Pheng any longer. Right now, standing before Lin Pheng, he didn't even dare to raise his head.

This was the sad reality.

"Xin Ye, Your Highness, I have other matters to attend, so I will take my leave." Said Lin Pheng while turning to Duan Xin Ye and Duan Wu Ya.

Duan Xin Ye started to open her mouth, she wanted to say something but didn't know what excuse she could use to make him stay. Duan Wu Ya slightly smiled and nodded: "Alright, no problem, you can leave. I hope that we will have the occasion to drink some more next time."

"Alright." Said Lin Pheng while slightly nodding, then, he immediately turned around and moved towards the exit of the Lovesick Forest. Lan Jiao was also closely following behind him.

"Contrary to what people might think, you are a very merciful person."

Lan Jiao arrived next to Lin Pheng and glanced at Lin Pheng with a strange expression.

"Was I merciful to you?" Said Lin Pheng which made Lan Jiao surprised, was he merciful to her? At the Dong Ling Hill, the fire was finally extinguished and everything was burnt black, not even a single blade of grass could grow there anymore. It was completely desolate and no one would venture there anymore. Nobody wanted to visit a place that looked like it was devastated by battle.

However, at that moment, a clean and handsome young man arrived at the top of the hill. He then sat under the scorching sun as sunlight started moving towards his body and turning into brilliant flames that radiated from his body, the flames were hypnotizing.

The young man at the top of the hill was obviously Lin Pheng. The sunshine at the top of the hill was perfect to practice his Cosmos-Burning Sun skill.

Lin Pheng closed his eyes and started to cultivate his Cosmos-Burning Sun skill. The sunlight was shining onto his body and unceasingly penetrating his flesh. A short moment later, it seemed like Lin Pheng was the centre of a majestic fire.

However, at that moment, Lin Pheng entered into his world of darkness, he had many ideas. In the middle of his world of darkness, his celestial book was also floating in the air, the black flame inside the book was undulating.

Lin Pheng focused his entire attention on the black fire and calmly studied it. Each and every single thought he had was about the grim fire.

A deadly Qi emerged from Lin Pheng's body, it looked dark, evil and ice-cold, as if it had come from the depths of hell.

At the same time, a black flame appeared on Lin Pheng's body, the fire which was initially burning on his body surprisingly turned into a black fire, a grim and deadly black fire.

The scariest part was that black flames were unceasingly appearing. Lin Pheng's body was almost entirely covered with black flames. After a while, the radiant flames had entirely transformed into black flames. At that moment, in the middle of those rampaging black flames, Lin Pheng looked like a demonic deity, he looked absolutely terrifying.

"This is a new dimension, as expected, the flames from the sun and my grim fire can merge to create something new." Thought Lin Pheng who was still a bit surprised. He could already make pure Qi into flames and with the knowledge he had acquired from using grim fire, he was now able to transform Qi into grim fire. However, the black flames which were burning around Lin Pheng's body didn't look as overwhelming as it did in the book, it didn't seem as impressive as the image.

Lin Pheng's thoughts were extremely quick, the black flames around his body condensed into several tiny flames shaped as petals which then hovered in front of him, an endless quantity of flames started to emerge from his body which was then turned into more tiny black flames, which gathered in front of Lin Pheng.

A black lotus which was the size of a hand, hovered in front of Lin Pheng. That black lotus was a grim black lotus, it contained grim fire. All the pure Qi which was surrounding Lin Pheng's body turned into black flames which merged with the lotus flower,
