Chapter 29: The Legendary Xue Lingling
“Eh, it seems there are still other people inside the Factory Area.” The Thin Young Man noticed something.
Du Yifan nodded, “I just noticed it too, such a strong aura, I wonder what kind of Scroll Painting it is?”
“It seems to be a Scroll Painter senior.” Wu Xian said.
“Scroll Painter?” Du Yifan and the other two’s eyes lit up suddenly, excitedly asking, “Which master? What does she look like?”
“A woman, in her twenties, riding a redwood coffin as a Vehicle, looking pretty yin… um… pretty unique.” Wu Xian simply described: “With this senior here, there definitely won’t be any problems over at the Factory Area.”
“A woman? In her twenties?” The Slightly Stout Young Man was baffled, “I haven’t heard of any Scroll Painter like that in Yaoyang City? Have you guys heard of her?”
The Thin Young Man was bewildered.
Du Yifan seemed to vaguely recall something, “Redwood coffin? Could it be that one guarding Death Mountain Town?”
“Brother Du knows her too?” The Slightly Stout Young Man and Thin Young Man were surprised.
“Mm,” Du Yifan was quite serious, “That little great-grandmother from the Xue Family, I had the fortune to see her once in the North Street District a couple days ago, but unfortunately didn’t get to talk to her.”
Hearing Xue Family, the fat and skinny duo were greatly shocked, “Xue Lingling? The legendary Favored Daughter of Heaven?”
Du Yifan neither confirmed nor denied.
“Hiss~ After she was exceptionally admitted to Dengfeng Dojo back then, I haven’t heard any news about her,” the Slightly Stout Young Man sighed: “I didn’t expect she actually returned to Yaoyang City.”
“I wonder if Xue Lingling accepts Followers?”
The Thin Young Man’s eyes gleamed; after all, that was a Scroll Painter from Dengfeng Dojo!
“Whether she does or not, showing our faces first is definitely the right move,” the Slightly Stout Young Man couldn’t hide his expectation, “And us as her hometown folks, we should have some advantage after all.”
“Makes sense.”
Du Yifan deeply agreed, his eyes burning with passion.
At this moment, the three were already impatient to charge into the Factory Area and get familiar with Xue Lingling.
Wu Xian saw everything in his eyes and secretly clicked his tongue.
This is the charisma of a Dojo Scroll Painter?
“Xue Lingling?”
The Xue Family was a top-tier Noble Family in Yaoyang City, and Wu Xian had also heard that the Xue Family produced a Favored Daughter of Heaven many years ago, who was exceptionally admitted to Dengfeng Dojo at a young age, and legends about her still circulated in Yaoyang City to this day.
He just didn’t expect the legendary Xue Lingling to have such an Underworld appearance.
“Let’s go, let’s go,” Du Yifan and the other two were like they had been injected with chicken blood, “The time to strive for future and destiny has come.”
With that, they wanted to pull Wu Xian along to charge in together.
“Ah? I won’t go.” Wu Xian hurriedly refused.
“Little brother, are you dumb,” the Slightly Stout Young Man had a earnest appearance, “Opportunities to stand out in front of a Dojo Scroll Painter aren’t many, why not go?”
“I’m afraid of dying.” Wu Xian said with utter sincerity.
“……”
Du Yifan and the other two were actually speechless.
Seeing they couldn’t persuade Wu Xian, Du Yifan and the other two didn’t say more, and excitedly headed deeper into the Factory Area.
Wu Xian pursed his lips in chagrin and continued farming wild monsters near the Factory Area.
He had no concept of the nobility of Scroll Painters before, but today he finally witnessed it.
Thinking carefully, it made sense; 【Extraordinary Scroll Painting】 was real productivity and combat power for this world.
Mastering 【Extraordinary Scroll Painting】 was equivalent to mastering productivity and combat power; the higher-end and more powerful the Scrolls mastered, the higher the status naturally.
Fortunately, Wu Xian didn’t lack these; he only lacked money and resources.
No need to lick a Scroll Painter’s ass.
……
San Zai Gang, Old City District.
Because it was close to the three major Dimensional Ports, the situation here was obviously more severe.
Fortunately, San Zai Gang was originally a gathering place for new Spirit Tamers and Adventurers, plus the army’s immediate intervention, the situation was still stable.
Tang Tiaotiao led the team charging all the way, fighting more and more bravely.
Along the way, she also visited a few henchmen she recruited in high school; Jade Rabbit and Moon God Heavenly Rider had unknowingly improved, and wherever they went, they attracted attention from countless Spirit Tamers.
“Sister Tiao, where are we heading?”
Seeing the team gradually moving away from the city area, the teammates couldn’t help but doubt.
“Shantytown.” Tang Tiaotiao was hot-blooded, full of passion, “I wonder how Little Xianzi is doing?”
Although with Little Xianzi’s two Painted Spirits’ strength, there shouldn’t be much danger, she still wasn’t entirely at ease.
Of course, mainly she wanted to show off her Moon God Heavenly Rider, hehe.
“Ah?” Hearing this, the teammates were startled, “I heard it’s very dangerous over there, it’s been quarantined.”
“What, scared?”
……
Wu Xian farmed wild monsters near the Trash Processing Plant until he was overflowing.
To the point that the 【Spatial Bracelet】 was almost full.
“Looks like I need to change to a bigger bag.”
Seeing there were still so many wild monsters nearby, Wu Xian could only regretfully give up.
Just as he was about to withdraw, he suddenly heard a earth-shattering ghost cry from the Factory Area side; sensing something wrong, Wu Xian rode the Chicken King and ran.
Looking back, he saw black qi swirling in the sky above the Factory Area, with a patch of Divine Light emerging, unfolding a familiar Scroll projection.
Then came waves of intense battle noises.
Not long after, that terrifying Abyssal Monster aura gradually receded, clearly the situation had been controlled by Xue Lingling.
“If only I could be this awesome someday.”
With the crisis resolved, Wu Xian lightly breathed a sigh of relief.
But just a few seconds after relaxing, a chilling sensation came from behind.
“What’s going on?!”
Looking back, a patch of dark gray mist was spreading from the Factory Area like Poison Gas leaking.
Ghostly wails filled the gray mist, churning up waves of ferocious terrifying smoke, as if countless unjustly dead Lost Souls were struggling within.
In the blink of an eye, it spread to right in front of Wu Xian.
Fortunately, Black and White Impermanence protecting on left and right were reliable enough, blocking the tidal surge of Abyssal gray mist, one hand Soul Summoning Banner, one hand Soul Restraining Chain, continuously performing Transcendence and Purification on the surrounding gray mist.
After a false alarm, Wu Xian quickly got excited, “Painted Spirit Level rising this fast?”
“Quick quick quick, absorb more!”
Feeling the 【Black and White Impermanence】 Painted Spirit Level skyrocketing, Wu Xian grinned from ear to ear.
Where was this any danger; it was clearly an experience pack delivered to the door.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xue Lingling was standing on the Coffin Board, with Divine Soul Scroll above her head, controlling the giant Tusked Monster to devour in a storm.
Roar——!
The Tusked Monster’s ferocious giant mouth was like a black hole, sucking back the spreading gray mist.
“Eh~” In the midst of devouring, Xue Lingling seemed to notice something, surprised as she looked toward a certain spot outside the Factory Area, “Such guts, daring to steal this miss’s prey.”
The originally scattered gray mist began contracting toward the city area, gradually devoured completely by the Tusked Monster.
“Not right, why is so much missing?”
Xue Lingling’s forehead went black, both shocked and suspicious.
The experience and Yin Souls from a whole Tier 4 Commander-level Abyssal Monster were directly reduced by nearly a quarter.
You know, after this 【Grievance Mist Spirit】 was beaten into false death state, it could recover by devouring other Abyssal Monsters through the gray mist; without targeted means, it was hard to handle that gray mist, let alone disintegrate and convert the gray mist.
Ordinary two or three-star Painted Spirits, once entangled by the gray mist, could only wait for death.
Yet, someone actually snatched nearly a quarter of the 【Grievance Mist Spirit】 revenue from her 【Soul Devouring Ghost King】.
“Like the aura of some Undead System Painted Spirit, but not quite the same…” Urging powerful Mental Power to probe over, Xue Lingling’s beautiful eyes flashed, “Giggle, running pretty fast~!”
At this moment, the still shaken Du Yifan and the other two came up.
“Senior Xue is indeed living up to her reputation, we…”
However, Xue Lingling didn’t even glance at the three, stepping on the Coffin Board and speeding away.
To put it bluntly, if not for these three Defense Team hotheads getting in the way just now, that Grievance Mist Spirit wouldn’t have had the chance to disperse into false death form at all.
