Chapter 1692: Chapter 1692

A word of comfort made Li Yifei feel somewhat uncomfortable. This feeling of discomfort lasted until Elder Feng, Yao Lingfu, and Jiang Ningxiang successively woke up, and then it completely turned into anger. As soon as the few of them woke up, it meant that Li Yifei and the others could clearly understand what exactly happened today. When Yao Lingfu spoke about the cause of the incident and Elder Feng recounted the following events, Li Yifei and Murong Yuanqing turned into intense fury.

The occurrence was quite sudden. Yesterday, Murong Yuanqing called, knowing that they were coming today, there was anticipation, because Li Yifei would bring Bai Shan over. By that time, as long as they worked together to seal the child, this matter would come to an end.

But who knew that this morning, just as the monks got up and were about to start their morning class, an incident occurred.

The incense in front of the Buddha had long been secretly replaced with a kind of colorless and odorless drug. The monks did their morning classes, while a few monks were cleaning and making breakfast. Jiang Ningxiang was also coaxing the child and feeding it. The incense burned slowly, spreading with the breeze, quickly covering the entire temple. Unaware of it, the monks fell into a coma one by one.

Yao Lingfu and Jiang Ningxiang quickly noticed something was wrong. Yao Lingfu went out to check, only to find that there was an external invasion. Those people burst in together, some surrounding Yao Lingfu, attempting to trap her with a special net. She broke it, and the few didn’t rush, continuing to encircle and fight her.

At this time, Jiang Ningxiang involuntarily fell victim to the drug. Her vigilance was low, and by the time she realized, it was too late. Most importantly, at this time, Master Void suddenly burst into Jiang Ningxiang’s room, saying a group of people had broken in outside. It was very dangerous, and he urged Jiang Ningxiang to hand over the child to him for protection. Jiang Ningxiang panicked upon hearing it. She didn’t know what was happening outside, but she was aware of her own condition. Once the medication took effect, she would uncontrollably go into a coma and the child wouldn’t be protected. So, at that time, Jiang Ningxiang handed the child to Master Void without thinking.

Master Void took the child, suggesting Jiang Ningxiang find a quilt. Just as Jiang Ningxiang turned around, she felt a pain in her neck, followed by darkness before her eyes, and fainted. She was knocked out by Master Void with a hand chop.

This was what Jiang Ningxiang knew. After that, Yao Lingfu, with her profound skills, was unable to quickly defeat those who intruded, owing to their large numbers and cultivated cooperation. Anxious about the child and Jiang Ningxiang behind her, she wanted to quickly defeat these people.

Then came a whistle from behind, and those people immediately retreated from the battle, running outward one by one. Yao Lingfu initially didn’t want to pursue, but right then a voice from Master Void came from behind, shouting, "Chase them quickly, those people have stolen the child!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Lingfu was truly shocked. She didn’t have time to ask how the child was snatched by those people. She glanced back, not seeing Master Void, thinking he had gone to chase too, and darted out quickly.

She pursued for a long time, constantly being blocked by others along the way. These people weren’t weak in martial arts. Yao Lingfu wished not to embroil herself with them but only wanted to catch up with the child. When she reached a high point, she pursued upwards, only to discover she had chased in the wrong direction. Among those she pursued, there was no child.

At this point, she could only place her hopes on Master Void. Otherwise, even if Yao Lingfu turned back at this moment, she probably wouldn’t catch up.

Meanwhile, those people turned back to fight her. They were all armed with weapons while Yao Lingfu was bare-handed, suffering some losses. These people’s coordination was sophisticated, and soon Yao Lingfu incurred some damage. At this point, she couldn’t hold back and had to fight with full strength.

Gradually, Yao Lingfu gained some advantage, injuring one, which weakened the others significantly. It didn’t take long for Yao Lingfu to defeat them individually, knocking them to the ground. However, at that moment, a sword flew from the woods, hitting Yao Lingfu precisely. She had no time to dodge and was knocked to the ground. Without the chance to see the person’s appearance, darkness surrounded her eyes and she passed out.

When she awoke, she was back in the temple. As for who injured her, Yao Lingfu had no idea. But thinking about it, given her martial prowess, if someone could knock her down with a sneak attack, they were no ordinary person at all. Yet, ironically, after she was injured and unconscious, those she attacked were all killed with no survivors.

This was Yao Lingfu’s experience. As for Elder Feng, who, along with Murong Yuanqing, pursued after the fact, several hours had passed, limiting their chances of finding clues. However, Elder Feng discovered a mark, one that wasn’t unfamiliar to him. Despite its age, he quickly recalled it being a symbol they used in their days of defending the nation against enemies, representing comrades. This mark spurred Elder Feng to continue chasing them.

Such marks were rare. Elder Feng often needed to stop and search for them to track them down. During the chase, when encountering lone enemies, he killed them, which accounted for the few deaths Li Yifei later observed.

Elder Feng had no communication device, unable to contact Murong Yuanqing. But urgency took precedence, and he continued pursuing beyond the river, arriving at the edge of a cliff, where the marking finally ceased. There, Elder Feng caught up with those individuals.

A shocking scene awaited him. Master Void, holding the child, leaned against the cliff. His face was expressionless, surrounded by a crowd. Some wielded knives, some swords, poised either against Master Void or directly opposing the arriving Elder Feng.

Elder Feng had no clear understanding of what was happening, only speculations before. Just then, he heard Master Void suddenly grin at him and say, "Why are you the only one here?" Googlᴇ search 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩

Elder Feng immediately frowned, looking at Master Void and asked, "Void, what on earth is going on here?"

"As you see," Master Void looked at the child in his arms and said indifferently.

As I see? Damn it, how am I supposed to see? Are you with them or not? Elder Feng cursed in his heart.

ps: There was a bit of deviation in the earlier writing about Satan. It shouldn’t have been written so simply. So I’ve modified the section on Satan in Chapter 1713. And following this, I’m planning to write about the big battle with Satan. I’m making this note to avoid any sense of abruptness when reading later on.
