4448 Meng Yu Zheng Is Missing

Meng Yu Zheng was in despair.

All supreme powerhouses, new or old, were able to create Phantom Projection Jade Tokens with their blood essence. However, due to the laborious process, most new supreme powerhouses were unlikely to create a Phantom Projection Jade Token since they would be busy stabilizing their cultivation bases. Apart from that, supreme powerhouses would only give these tokens to the direct descendants who were the most talented or the direct descendants they favored the most.

Based on Meng Yu Zheng’s status in the Meng clan, he would definitely be first in line to receive a Phantom Projection Jade Token from Meng Tian Feng, his ancestor. Unfortunately, Meng Tian Feng was a new supreme powerhouse who was likely focused on stabilizing his cultivation base. Even if Meng Tian Feng did create a Phantom Projection Jade Token, it would be impossible for him to create one in a short amount of time.

Meng Yu Zheng’s expression was unsightly as he dropped to his knees and kowtowed as he pleaded frantically, “Young Master Li Feng, please show mercy! You can have all the treasures in my spatial ring. Just spare my life please!”

Meng Yu Zheng was terrified at this time. He was confident Meng Tian Feng would be able to link his death to Li Feng, but he was not sure Meng Tian Feng was a match for the mysterious force behind ‘Li Feng’. He had no doubt Duan Ling Tian was from an extremely powerful force after Tan Xiu Teng said Duan Ling Tian was almost as strong as a peerless top advanced Supreme God despite being under the age of 10,000.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Meng Yu Zheng indifferently and said, “Spare your life? Perhaps, I’ll change my mind if I find something useful in your spatial ring. Give up your ownership over the spatial ring now.”

Duan Ling Tian would naturally not refuse this offer. Moreover, he did not intend to kill Meng Yu Zheng for now; he was only going to imprison Meng Yu Zheng for now.

According to the World Cleansing Divine Water, Meng Tian Feng, the supreme powerhouse of the Meng clan, would be able to link Meng Yu Zheng’s death to him through their blood connection. As such, now was not the right time for him to kill Meng Yu Zheng. He was not strong enough to take on Meng Tian Feng for now.

Meng Yu Zheng took a deep breath and mustered up his courage to say, “Young Master Li Feng, I’m not doubting you, but… but is it possible for you to swear on the Heaven Vault’s Blood Oath first that you won’t kill me after I relinquish my ownership of the spatial ring?”

Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. The corners of his lips curled up into a contemptuous smile as he said, “You may keep your spatial ring and go to hell. Do you really think I care that much about your possessions?”

Following that, Duan Ling Tian flashed and vanished out of sight.

Meng Yu Zheng’s expression changed immediately. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be so decisive and difficult to deal with. In the end, he gritted his teeth and hurriedly relinquished his ownership of the spatial ring. Then, he pleaded again, “Young Master Li Feng, I’ve already done as you instructed. Please spare my life!”

Duan Ling Tian did appear again and did not respond to Meng Yu Zheng’s pleas.

Instead, Tan Yu Zheng raised his hand and claimed Meng Yu Zheng’s spatial ring. Then, he walked toward Meng Yu Zheng with a sinister expression.

Meng Yu Zheng’s expression turned grim, and he said threateningly, “Tan Xiu Teng, my ancestor might be wary of Li Feng due to his background, but if you kill me, my ancestor definitely won’t let you go!”

Meng Yu Zheng feared Duan Ling Tian, but he did not fear Tan Xiu Teng even if Tan Xiu Teng was stronger than him.

Tan Xiu Teng smiled slightly and said, “I’m not going to kill you. I’m just going to cripple your cultivation according to my young master’s instructions.”

Tan Xiu Teng restrained Meng Yu Zheng at lightning speed before his powerful Divine Energy that glowed green from the law of fire surged toward Meng Yu Zheng.

Meng Yu Zheng’s eyes widened as he screamed, horrified, “No!”

In just a moment, Meng Yu Zheng fell to the ground unconscious as Tan Xiu Teng’s Divine Energy entered his meridians and destroyed his Heavenly Veins.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian reappeared. He glanced at Meng Yu Zheng who was lying motionless on the ground and said, “Make sure he doesn’t die. If he dies, it’ll be difficult to deal with Meng Tian Feng.”

“Young master, rest assured. I won’t let him die,” Tan Xiu Teng said respectfully, “I don’t know much about Meng Yu Zheng, but I know he’s too cowardly to take his own life. Even if he’s physically crippled, he’ll still be begging to live.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Good. When the time is right, we’ll deal with him.” Then, he added, “Alright, let’s go to the Linked Solitary Realm now.”

“Yes, young master,” Tan Xiu Teng replied respectfully.

During the journey to Green Billow City, Tan Xiu Teng learned from Duan Ling Tian that the Linked Solitary Realm was just a stop on his way to the Three Great Sacred Realms in the center of the Outer Boundary. In the past, he had spent some time in the Three Great Sacred Realms. In fact, it was due to his time and fortuitous encounters there that he was so strong now. If he had stayed in the Divine Sand Realm, he would not be so strong now. However, it also had to be said that he had many close calls with death during his time there as well.

During the journey to the Linked Solitary Realm, Duan Ling Tian cultivated peacefully in Tan Xiu Teng’s flying ship. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Tan Xiu Teng would not disturb his cultivation.

…

Quite some time after Duan Ling Tian crossed the border into the Linked Solitary Realm, the Green Billow City’s Meng clan finally discovered that Meng Yu Zheng, the young master of the clan, had gone missing. After Meng Tian Feng became a supreme powerhouse, Meng Yu Zheng’s status in the clan had risen greatly as well since he was very favored by Meng Tian Feng.

At this time, the high-ranking officials of the Meng clan were gathered in the clan’s main hall for an emergency meeting.

An old man with a full white beard said grimly, “We’ve searched everywhere, but we still can’t find Yu Zheng. How are we going to explain this to the ancestor when he comes out of his closed-door cultivation?”

“Someone spotted Yu Zheng going south after leaving Green Billow City. However, no one knows why he left the city. Perhaps, he was lured out of the city…”

“Yu Zheng couldn’t have gone too far… He hasn’t returned, and we can’t find him at all. I’m afraid something bad has happened to him.”

“Calm down. You’re overthinking things. Yu Zheng’s Soul Pearl is still intact so he’s definitely still alive.”

“That’s right. What’s important is that he’s still alive. Yu Zheng is a direct descendant of our ancestor. Even if he’s killed, our ancestor will be able to track the killer down…”

“There’s a possibility that the culprit is aware of this. That’s why he didn’t kill Yu Zheng…”

“If that’s the case, the culprit should reach out to us soon with his demands…”

“I agree. Otherwise, there’s no point in taking such risks. After all, our Meng clan now has a supreme powerhouse…”

…

After returning from Blue Dawn City, Meng Tian Feng had entered closed-door cultivation. When he finally emerged from closed-door cultivation and wanted to meet his precious direct descendant, he finally found out that Meng Yu Zheng had gone missing.

“Yu Zheng is missing?” Meng Tian Feng’s expression is extremely dark at this moment. He raised his hand before he slit his palm with a flaming saber. Following that, he stared at the droplets of blood that floated in the air for a moment before he closed his eyes.

The droplets of blood seemed to be boiling at this time.

At the same time, a frown would appear on Meng Tian Feng’s face every once in a while. After about a dozen breaths, he finally opened his eyes, and his expression turned grim as he said, “He’s alive, but something has happened to him. Who has the audacity to abduct my direct descendant? Does he or she think I’m a pushover?”
