Chapter 175 - The Grateful Tears Of A Mother.
After taking care of the giant ape, Ling Lei quickly left the area along with Ling Wei and their captured demon beasts.
The disturbance caused by Ling Wei when fighting the giant ape would surely draw the attention of many demon beasts which was something that Ling Lei didn't want.
The reason they came out this time was to quietly hunt some powerful demon saints in order to turn them into their demonic blood servants.
Now that the Nine Demon Beasts God was after and almost all the demon beasts in the Divine Demon Beast Region were looking for them, they could only hide because they weren't strong enough to face them.
The strongest amongst them was Ling Lei who was an 8th Tribulation Martial Saint. However, even he wouldn't able to withstand a single blow from one of the Nine Beast Gods.
Even though the army of the demonic blood servants wouldn't be able to help them face the Nine Beast Gods, they would still be of great use to them.
Not only they could take care of the weaker demon beasts and serve as a meat shield. Because of their abilities to see whatever their demonic blood servants saw and even take over their bodies, they would also allow them to have eyes and ears everywhere in the Divine Demon Beast Region.
As such, they would always be a step ahead of the Nine Beast Gods as their demonic blood servants would be everywhere. They would also be able to peacefully increase their strength without worrying about the pursuit of the Nine Beast Gods.
In their current situation where they're being hunted by the entire Divine Demon Beast Region, having an army of demonic blood servants was the best thing they could have ever asked for. They would somehow become omnipresent and omniscient because of them
After an hour or so of flying non-stop, both Ling Lei and Wei including the captured demon beasts finally arrived at the cave mansion they were hiding.
When they arrived, they saw Ling Bing and the others were already waiting for them.
"Hahahaha. We were beginning to worry about you guys. We thought you got captured or something." Ling Zheng said jokingly as he as looking at both Ling Lei and Ling Wei with a joyful expression on his face.
"Ohhh yeah! where are your demon beasts, Ling Wei?" Suddenly asked Ling Shen as she was looking at Ling Wei who didn't have anyone with him.
Every one of them had captured at least three or four demon saints from that little expedition. However, Ling Wei seemed to come back empty-handed.
"That battle maniac accidentally killed all of them before they could surrender." Quickly answered Ling Lei with a helpless look on his face before Ling Wei could answer.
"Hahaha, If they can't withstand a few punches from this king, then they aren't worthy to use my God Bloodstones." Ling Wei said with a proud look on his face as he was trying to salvage the situation after the others were laughing at him when they heard Ling Lei's answer.
"They weren't worthy my ass! Let's quickly start the last phase of the plan so we can get hell out of this damn creepy cave." Blurted out Ling Rui with an exciting look on her face.
.....
Heaven Suppression City, Blue Dragon City.
After the blackness of night, the sunrise came as if it had missed the sky and wanted nothing more than to illuminate the whole world with its golden and majestic brilliance.
It's already been two days since the incident with Long Zheng and his father. Ling Chen was expecting Long Meng to come back and try to convince him to get rid of the soul-devouring poison in his sea of consciousness. However, to his surprise, he never came back, not even once.
He didn't know what he was planning nor did he care. He just wanted to live a peaceful life in his temple while collecting as much as good merit or good karma as he could before he went to the Sun God Palace in the next two weeks or so.
At this moment, Ling Chen was sitting quietly on a wooden chair in front of the small temple with a jug of wine next to him.
Even though he has been disguising himself as a wise and accomplished monk, he still didn't forget about his love for wine. That's one thing he couldn't live without.
While Ling Chen was enjoying his morning sunlight and drinking his wine, he suddenly heard the exciting and happy voice of Little Mei rang out from behind his back." Father Monk, Father Monk, my mother.....she can talk now."
Upon hearing Little Mei's voice, Ling Chen quickly absorbed the jug of wine within his inter-spatial ring.
At the same time, Little Mei grabbed his hand and dragged him inside without giving him a chance to say anything.
After entering the room where Little Mei's mother was staying, Ling Chen finally spotted Wanxue who was sitting on the bed.
Although it wasn't the first time Ling Chen saw her, he was greatly surprised when he saw her this time.
Despite being the same person, she looked completely different. Her lifeless eyes were now full of life and happiness as he was holding Little Mei in her embrace.
Her exquisite and mature face gave off a feeling as though she was a sweet and perfect housewife. Her body was emanating a motherly grace and a gentle atmosphere that made her looked extremely attractive.
Furthermore, Her voluptuous figure was at a standard where she did not lose out to any peerless beauty out there.
The moment she saw Ling Chen, she suddenly got down and kneeled down on the ground before saying with a respectful and grateful tone as tears were streaming down her face." Thank you, Venerable Monk! Thank you for saving this pair of pitiful mother and daughter."
It was impossible for Wanxue not to be moved and extremely grateful after knowing how Ling Chen had saved her and take care of her daughter.
Her gratitude was indescribable, akin to when a person sent coal in the middle of winter. At the same time, she was wondering how she could ever repay such an immense act of kindness.
From the large amount of invisible and mysterious energy that was entering his body like a flood, Ling Chen could clearly tell just how deeply grateful Wanxue was for saving her and her daughter.
Ever since he's been helping and curing people for good merit, he's never collected that large amount of good merit or karma from a single person.
Seeing how Wanxue was keeling in front of him while crying, Ling Chen quickly walked towards her and helped her up before saying. "Amitabha. You don't have to go to this extent to thank this poor monk. This poor monk was merely following his belief and the teaching of the merciful Buddha."
"I know you two have a lot of catching up to do. This poor monk will give you some privacy." He added before he left the room and went outside.
