Chapter 2089 - 2090: The Princess's Internal Injuries

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "There are too many people in the canyon now, so I'll send you back first, then I'll return. If I can see the Elf King's remains, I'll definitely bring them to you."

The Elf Princess nodded, and then suddenly, another mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth.

Ling Zhenfei's heart jolted with surprise, and he hurriedly found a safer place to land.

This place was behind a slope, seemingly very safe.

Hiding behind the slope, at least one direction was secure, preventing them from being surrounded from all sides.

The Lightning Bird placed them on the ground, then chirped softly and flew into the sky.

The Lightning Bird had been involved in continuous battles since coming here, followed by Ling Zhenfei's escape, consuming much energy — now, it was probably hunting for food.

Ling Zhenfei found a flat spot to lay the Elf Princess down and checked her pulse.

The Elf Princess had suffered severe injuries from the impact of Northern Spiritual Energy, far more serious than Ling Zhenfei had imagined.

In fact, when Ling Zhenfei first discovered the Elf Princess, she was already injured — but she had been persevering; now, after such a battle, her physical injuries were severe.

Ling Zhenfei had never thought that the person who had just been speaking with him was so gravely injured.

Ling Zhenfei immediately gave the Elf Princess a few elixirs and began exercising his energy to heal her injuries.

Using his own Northern Spiritual Energy to help repair the Elf Princess's internal wounds.

Internal injuries essentially mean damage to the organs and meridians; it seems simple but totally healing them is quite difficult. Ling Zhenfei can only try his best to treat her.

Under Ling Zhenfei's treatment, death was not possible.

But at this time, Ling Zhenfei felt a trace of Northern Spiritual Energy coming from afar.

There's no need to guess; it must be the human cultivators pursuing them. Ling Zhenfei was quite shocked — he didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.

Previously, Ling Zhenfei had used the power of the soul to hide his aura — he never thought these people would still arrive so promptly.

Ling Zhenfei paused his energy exercise, letting the Elf Princess gently rest on the open ground.

But just letting her lie there, Ling Zhenfei felt reluctant, so he took out a blanket from his Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow and covered the Elf Princess.

At that moment, the Elf Princess opened her eyes, her large eyes now appearing more spirited.

"Why did you save me?"

The Elf Princess kept her eyes on Ling Zhenfei as she asked.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "Because you saved my life too; I'm saving you just to repay a favor."

The Elf Princess said, "I don't remember saving you."

Ling Zhenfei replied, "Do you still remember the South Gate of the canyon last night? I was wounded all over, hiding among a pile of dead bodies. You saw me then but didn't kill me."

The Elf Princess gasped, "So it was you — with such strength, even if I saw you, what would there be to fear?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I was grievously injured at that time; now, I've just broken through to the Pursue Heart State."

The Elf Princess looked at Ling Zhenfei in surprise — this transformation in just one night was astonishing.

Just then, the sound of something slicing through the air came from afar, a few people had flipped over the slope.

One of them immediately spotted Ling Zhenfei and shouted, "Over there, everyone, go!"

Ling Zhenfei glanced at them — there were five people in total, all from the same sect.

At Xianling Mountain, Ling Zhenfei had seen that uniform, evidently belonging to people of the Tianling Spirit Palace.

The clothing worn by Tianling Spirit Palace members was the same, and they were extremely powerful.

Just like professionally trained individuals, the Tianling Spirit Palace, ranking first among the Three Great Immortal Palaces, had its prestige spread far and wide for hundreds of years — naturally, its power was immense.

Such a sect naturally had its own teaching methods, and many cultivation techniques were handed down through the centuries — thus, the disciples it trained were invariably strong.

These five Tianling Spirit Palace disciples charged at Ling Zhenfei once they saw him.

Five people with swords, wearing slightly blue clothing.

They charged directly at Ling Zhenfei; Ling Zhenfei and the Elf Princess were backed against a slope, so it was somewhat safe, but being blocked by these five people, they had no escape route.

Five people surrounded Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei observed them — their strengths were similar, not particularly formidable, all at the Middle to Late Stage of the Dawen Realm.

"Ling Zhenfei, do you really think you can run?"

Ling Zhenfei replied to the person, "Do I need to run? Do you think you few will be enough to defeat me?"

One of them said, "Ling Zhenfei, you've just reached the Pursue Heart State yesterday; perhaps one of us isn't your match, but with all five of us combined, we should be able to take your life."

Moreover, many of our senior brothers are on their way—once they arrive, your death is inevitable."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Why must you capture the Elf Princess — can't you just let her go?"

The person replied, "It's no longer just about the Elf Princess — now it involves you too; such a traitor cannot live in this world."

Ling Zhenfei said, "When did I become a traitor?"

The person said, "Collaborating with the enemy, saving the enemy — what else if not a traitor?"

Someone else said, "Senior brother, what's there to talk about? Let's go together and kill this kid."

The five of them simultaneously drew their swords, preparing to strike at Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei said, "You'd better think it over — trying to kill me, watch out for your own lives!"

The five moved in to attack Ling Zhenfei, using a sword array to encircle him.

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly retrieved his Dragon Tooth Dagger — he couldn't just let himself be captured.

This sword array was indeed masterful, a fierce assault making Ling Zhenfei slightly overwhelmed.

But after a complete array tactic, Ling Zhenfei began to understand the strategy.

Though the array was intricate, breaking it was indeed not impossible — for Ling Zhenfei, it was even quite simple.

No matter how powerful your sword array is, so long as I use my mighty Northern Spiritual Energy to attack the main Formation Eye, the sword array can be broken.

Ling Zhenfei said, "You're not my opponents, and I don't wish to kill you — you should leave."

One sneered, "We're using the Five Elements Sword Formation handed down by our ancestors; you can't possibly get out of this sword array."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You're a bit too overconfident."

After saying that, he moved his hand, channeling his Northern Spiritual Energy and attacking one of them.

This person was the Formation Eye of the Five Elements Sword Formation — they played a key role, and if this person is disrupted, the entire sword array becomes chaotic.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei attacking that person, the other four quickly moved to help, but their strength truly couldn't match Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei sent a surge of Northern Spiritual Energy, directly blasting that person away.
