Looking at the brazier that landed on the ground and the exposed Kṣitigarbha Sutra, a feeling of despair rose up in Zhu Yi's heart: "Could it be that this is my fate? Why give me hope and then immediately put me into despair?"

"I can't, a gentleman always strives to improve himself, I must not lose heart."

Fatty Zhu picked up the golden paper recording the Kṣitigarbha Sutra, looking a Zhu Yi with a playful expression: "Young Master Yi, what is this?"

Zhu Yi pressed his lips together, his expression already calmed down: "To think that there was something like this in the brazier? I did not discover it before."

Fatty Zhu and co. looked at each other, all of them laughing out loud: "If that's so then we'll take and then turn it in to the Marquis for him to deal with it."

"But Young Master Yi, since you discovered it together with us you'll also have to take a trip with us. Like that we'll be able to verify it in front of the Marquis." Fatty Zhu squinted his tiny eyes, his face filled with a complacent expression.

Zhu Yi calmly nodded his head. No doubt losing the Kṣitigarbha Sutra makes him depressed, but the most urgent matter at the moment is to get past his old pops the Marquis of Xuanji Zhu Hongwu.

Zhu Hongwu is very strict with rules. Don't mention Zhu Yi this kind of neglected bastard, even the eldest son who has the rights to inherit his title will lose a layer of skin from Zhu Hongwu's family punishments if he makes a small mistake.

If he lets Zhu Hongwu know that he was secretly practising dao techniques, he might even lose half his life.

Outside of the door Lin Feng smiled faintly. It's time for him to enter the stage. If he waits until Zhu Yi is brought back to the house of the Marquis, he might be grounded by the Marquis of Xuanji and unable to leave the house again. The difficulty then of him taking in Zhu Yi as his disciple under the eyelids of the Marquis of Xuanji is too great.

"Hm? Something's wrong! This is…"

Lin Feng was in the middle of planning things when he suddenly sensed a group of people rushing out from the forest, heading straight towards the old temple.

Lin Feng felt a chill in his heart: "What do they want to do, could their target also be Zhu Yi?"

These people are far superior to Fatty Zhu and co., moving rapidly and swiftly within the forest, orderly and disciplined like men of the army.

Even worse is that there's a foundation establishment stage cultivator among them!

While thinking Lin Feng first hid himself beforehand, and then he saw this group of people barge straight into the side hall that Zhu Yi is in.

In the side hall, Zhu Yi and co. were all blankly staring at the group of people that barged in. Upon entering the room all of their gazes instantly fell upon Zhu Yi's body.

The leader is a black-clothed man with a scar on his cheek, The man turned around and looked towards two of his comrades behind him. The two people nodded their heads together: "It's this scholar."

Outside of the hall Lin Feng had a major headache, roaring in his heart: "That's why I said what I hate the most is unexpected incidents!"

Even though the other party came abruptly, Zhu Yi could still maintain his composure: "You guys are looking for me? I don't know you guys, who are you people?"

At this time Fatty Zhu also reacted over, saying with a sneer: "Young Master Yi, what trouble have you caused, could it be that you owe them gambling money? Haha…"

The black-clothed man frowned: "Silence."

Fatty Zhu's smile froze on his face, the color of his face turning completely red: "You bastard, do you know…"

Not waiting for him to finish the black-clothed man waved his hand, as if shooing a fly: "Besides this scholar kill all of the Zhou dogs."

The man's voice was incredibly calm, only carrying a taste of disgust, as if he really was giving the command to kill a couple of flies.

Fatty Zhu's expression immediately changed greatly, shouting furiously: "You dare to touch us? We are of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, if you dare to touch even one of my fingers I'll exterminate your entire family!"

The black-clothed man laughed desolately: "Exterminate my entire family? The old and young of my entire clan died by the hand's of you Zhou dogs a long time ago."

He extended his hand stroking the scar on his face, his expression becoming extremely cold in an instant: "The Marquis of Xuanji… Hehe, the Marquis of Xuanji, it's precisely because we know this kid is the son of Zhu Hongwu that we came. That old dog's hands are stained with the blood of my countrymen, today we'll have him pay some interest first!"

The black-clothed man lifted up the hem of his shirt, revealing the design of a six-cornered snowflake.

"Snowflake… You guys are survivors of Snowgale, you guys from the "Society of the Strong Gale!" Fatty Zhu swallowed his saliva, revealing a very forced smile.

Lin Feng furrowed his brows, he doesn't know what kind of organization the Society of the Strong Gale is and he's never heard of it, but he has heard of Snowgale.

Snowgale is a small country in the snowy plains to the north and touches borders with the northern region of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Around ten years ago during the Zhou Dynasty's time of dominating expansion it was conquered and annexed by the Zhou Dynasty. At the time the one who led the army in the conquest was precisely the Marquis of Xuanji.

The people of the north are agile and brave. Even though their country has fallen, the citizens of Snowgale have not been willing to submit, with all kinds of uprisings rising up one after another. It is one of the few regions that has not been able to return to a stable-state after the subjugation of the Zhou Dynasty.

Looking at it now, this so-called Society of the Strong Gale is also an insurgent group formed by the adherents of the already fallen Snowgale, expressly opposing the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Although who'd've thought that they'd have the balls to infiltrate deep into the heart of the Zhou Dynasty and move about in the environs of the capital, even placing their sights on the Marquis of Xuanji.

Zhu Yi has clearly already understood the relations within, opening his mouth and saying: "I'm just a neglected bastard, if you want to use me as a hostage to threaten my father then there's really no need. Because it won't have any effect, my father will not make any concessions."

"Kill me and my father won't even feel that sad. You guys have found the completely wrong target coming to find me."

The black-clothed man grinned: "Of course I know that you're unpopular with the old dog, or else you wouldn't have landed in our hands today."

He stared at Zhu Yi with a shadow of a smile: "Don't belittle yourself, for us you still have some use. For example, you grew up in the old dog's house, you're presumably very knowledgeable about the layout of the house, the habits of everyone, the schedule of the guards and these kinds of things.

Zhu Yi pressed his lips together, not saying anything. Suddenly the sound of wind rose up beside his ears, shocked he found that the black-clothed middle-aged man had already arrived before him at some unknown time, the two people were inches away.

The black-clothed man's face revealed an ice-cold smile, his long scar twitching and twisting. He said one word at a time: "You will tell me." Finishing speaking he turned around and looked at Fatty Zhu and co., his gaze like looking at a group of dead people. He waved his hands: "Do it."

With his command the cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale all attacked. Piercing cold mana fluctuations instantly swept over the entire temple.

These cultivators are all wanted felons within the Great Zhou Dynasty, each of them are knife licking desperados. They are all seasoned combatants and have strong teamwork. Their efficiency at releasing spells is very high, not wasting the slightest bit of mana, using the most efficient method to kill the enemy.

Fatty Zhu and co. have never seen this kind of battle, the group of people were completely powerless, being brought down in batches like wheat being cut down.

Only Fatty Zhu who had the highest level of qi disciple level 8 reacted the quickest, his fat body releasing a completely mismatched speed, escaping out of the temple like he was flying.

The black-clothed man frowned: "Don't leave any survivors, our whereabouts cannot be exposed." Two cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale nodded their heads, pursuing out of the side hall without saying anything.

Outside of the hall Lin Feng was secretly groaning, the development of things has already strayed far away from his initial plans.

Luckily they don't have plans of immediately killing Zhu Yi. This thus gives him to time to plan.

His thoughts rapidly turning Lin Feng had a general plan, hurriedly chasing over to Fatty Zhu.

This fatty still has a purpose, he can't die.

Leaving the old temple, Lin Feng crushed a voice-transmitting crystal while hurrying along. A faint white light rose up from the fragments of the crystal, Lin Feng said: "Little Yan, bring along your junior and come to Spring Mountain west of the city to meet up with master." (TL: The Chinese nickname that Lin Feng calls Xiao Yan is 小焱子, xiao yan zi, which sounds the same as the name of the protagonist princess of My Fair Princess or Return of the Pearl Princess, I know not if this is intentional. )

Very quickly Xiao Yan's voice came from the white light, the young man's voice was breathless. He quickly responded saying: "Don't worry, we'll be there soon." After one line the white light gradually dimmed, the crystal fragments also became lackluster, becoming the same as regular crushed stones.

Lin Feng shook his head. This voice-transmitting crystal is indeed handy, but unfortunately it's just a one-time item and it's price is too expensive.

Xiao Yan's hurried voice made him a bit uneasy. The breathless appearance was like he had just fought with someone else.

Lin Feng slightly knit his brows: "Those two monkeys better be alright."

After being together for a long period of time the relationship between the three people has become increasingly closer. Even though he knows that these two main character disciples won't be easily bullied, Lin Feng is always worrying for these two kids who have yet to grow up.

Lightly shaking his head Lin Feng expelled the distractions in his mind, using the escape technique of Cloud Dragon Escape to arrive a step ahead at a location that Fatty Zhu must pass-by in his escape, laying down the formation of the Nine Heaven Thunder Summoning.

Just finishing setting it up, Fatty Zhu had already appeared in his sights, completely out of breath from running.

Since knowing that the people who came were from the Society of the Strong Gale, Fatty Zhu completely gave up on the plan of using his background to scare them.

The person these survivors of Snowgale hate the most is probably the Marquis of Xuanji. They can't do anything with the Marquis of Xuanji, but against Fatty Zhu this kind of dog of the house they will definitely not hesitate.

In the house of the Marquis, Fatty Zhu's status is very high. The closer the relationship to the Marquis of Xuanji, the harder they'll hit.

"Dad, mom, why did you guys only give me two legs?" Fatty Zhu groaned incessantly in his heart. He may have a level of qi disciple level 8, but the two people chasing him are all qi disciple level 9. Even though he already mustered up every bit of strength he could, in the end they still caught up to him.

Right when the fatty felt despair, nine points of bluish-purple light suddenly lit up in the surroundings.

"ZZZZ!" The piercing sound of electric currents rose up in the air, bluish-purple arcs of lightning flashed a brilliant radiance in the dark night.

The expressions of the two cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale changed greatly, their experience from numerous fights tells them that impending doom is at hand.

But not waiting for them to have any further reactions, nine beams of lightning had already bombarded their bodies. In the next instant, roaring lightning descended from the heavens as if divine punishment.

Two qi disciple level 9 cultivators were directly struck to death on the spot by divine lightning!

Fatty Zhu blankly stared at the charcoal-black ashes before him, his two legs shaking as if the lightning had struck him and he was the one turned into charcoal.

Even though he's escaped danger, Fatty Zhu is unable to relax his mood.

Lin Feng slowly walked out from the forest, a white robe with wide sleeves and a daoist crown, having the appearance of a venerable sage.

Looking at the ashes after the bombardment of the Nine Heaven Thunder Summoning, Lin Feng secretly let out a breath of relief. Luckily he wasn't too far off on calculating Fatty Zhu's position of being caught up to.

Besides setting up requiring time and the casting time being too slow, the Nine Heaven Thunder Summoning is still greatly to his satisfaction, directly insta-killing two qi disciple level 9 cultivators.

If he didn't use the Nine Heaven Thunder Summoning, dealing with these two qi disciple level 9 cultivators would not be this easy.

The level of these two people is a lot higher than that cultivator from the Yu family before, but nonetheless Lin Feng's level is also incomparable to the him of that time. When the water rises so does the boat, the power of the Nine Heaven Thunder Summoning has also increased more than one level.

After getting a clear view of Lin Feng, Fatty Zhu collected himself, releasing a dry cough: "Thank you for giving a helping hand, all of these Snowgale scum deserve to die. Upon meeting them all citizens of our Great Zhou Dynasty are naturally duty-bound to…"

Not finishing speaking a beam of lightning flew past the fatty's ear, splitting in half right down the middle the big tree behind him.

Lin Feng didn't even look at him, his gaze looking towards the temple Zhu Yi is in, his mouth calmly saying: "Don't be noisy beside my ears, leave the thing behind and get out."

Fatty Zhu swallowed his saliva: "I will definitely report to the Marquis your achievement of helping out today…"

Lin Feng's gaze finally looked towards him, not carrying a hint of emotion, calmly saying: "When I have time in the future I will naturally pay a visit to Zhu Hongwu, as for you…"

"I never say the same words twice."

All of Fatty Zhu's hairs stood up, listen to what this young daoist calls the Marquis of Xuanji?

He directly calls his name, Zhu Hongwu.

Regardless of what this young daoist's level is and regardless of whether or not he still dares to be so arrogant after meeting the Marquis of Xuanji in person, the fatty is certain the at the very least the name of the Marquis of Xuanji is unable to frighten this young daoist.

The fatty called out unlucky in his heart. In the past using the name of the house of the Marquis he could do whatever he wanted in all of Tianjing City, but he didn't expect that in one day he consecutively bumped into two groups of people who didn't place the house of the Marquis in their eyes.

Touching the golden paper in his shirt printed with the Kṣitigarbha Sutra, the fatty was very reluctant. Of course he knows what Lin Feng wants, but he still couldn't help pretend: "Thing? What thing, I don't know…"

Lin Feng's gaze gradually became cold, making Fatty Zhu's entire body also feel increasingly colder, hurriedly saying: "Don't be hasty, the item is here, right here."

Taking out the golden paper incredibly reluctantly from his shirt, the fatty carefully placed the golden paper on the ground, saying with a forced smile: "Can I leave now?"

Lin Feng casually lifted his hand, grabbing the golden paper in his hand under the drawing force of the mana and leaving without even turning his head.

Fatty Zhu felt that the mana Lin Feng used to grab the golden paper did not seem to be outstanding. Slightly hesitating in his heart he closely examined him again, discovering that he was entirely unable to see through the depths of Lin Feng's level. He didn't dare to act rashly again, obediently standing on the spot and watching Lin Feng leave.

Seeing Lin Feng disappear from his vision, Fatty Zhu let out a long breath, hurriedly escaping towards Tianjing City: "Something big has happened this time, hurrying back to report to the Lady is what's the right thing to do."

Losing the Kṣitigarbha Sutra that he'd obtained, the fatty felt incredibly heartbroken: "Dammit, don't land in my hands or else I'll definitely show you who's boss."

Lin Feng did not actually leave, he was hiding right in the forest, watching Fatty Zhu escape towards Tianjing City.

He needs a person to go back and notify the house of the Marquis. No matter how unfavored Zhu Yi is he is still the son of the Marquis of Xuanji. Being abducted and moreover involving the adherents of Snowgale, no matter if it's the Marquis of Xuanji or Lady Shao, they will both definitely concern themselves with it.

Only with the pursuers of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji can Lin Feng tie down the people from the Society of the Strong Gale and take advantage of the situation.

Lin Feng sent out his senses. The crystal that he left with Zhu Yi shouldn't have been exposed, it was clearly pointing out to him Zhu Yi's location. The people of the Society of the Strong Gale have already taken Zhu Yi and left the old temple, moving towards the mountains to the east.

Lin Feng followed far behind them. After an unknown amount of time Lin Feng sensed the mark that he'd left on Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian, hurriedly heading towards the mark and finding them.

Just meeting them Lin Feng immediately frowned.

Xiao Budian's still okay but Xiao Yan's black clothes are ripped in many places and his aura is unstable, clearly he's just had a hard battle with someone.

Lin Feng held onto his shoulders: "Who did it?"

Xiao Yan smiled: "Don't worry master, I didn't lose much." He paused and then said: "Originally it was just a small matter. Me and junior apprentice-brother were wandering around in the city square of Tianjing City and saw a couple of lechers bullying a woman, so we butted in."

"After teaching those lechers a lesson we were originally already prepared to leave but we were suddenly stopped by a short-haired middle-aged man. He had to ask me where I learned the Art of Acala, this guy was very overbearing and wanted to capture me."

"His level is very high, probably a foundation establishment stage cultivator. If he didn't attract the attention of the patrol squad it would have been very hard for us to escape." Speaking here Xiao Yan lifted his eyebrow in confusion: "But the dao technique that person used was actually also the Art of Acala."

Xiao Budian at the side suddenly said: "That person had short hair, I saw that he had a couple of precept scars on his scalp. (TL: Go look at Krillin's head.)

Lin Feng did not say anything but he already understood in his heart that even though that person has hair, he is most likely a monk from the Great Thunder Monastery of the past.

Who'd've thought that Xiao Yan's Art of Acala did not attract the attention of the forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty but instead attracted a buddhist disciple.

"Right now I have to go chase after your new junior apprentice-brother, he's been abducted." Lin Feng nodded his head, looking at Xiao Yan and saying: "But we cannot just let things go. Remember that person's appearance, we'll get him back in the future."

Xiao Yan nodded his head while Xiao Budian smiled saying: "I've got another senior apprentice-brother?"

Lin Feng laughed and patted his little head: "This was your choosing."

In the forest east of Spring Mountain, the people of the Society of the Strong Gale were rapidly advancing with Zhu Yi.

The leading black-clothed man touched the scar on his face, saying with a frown: "Hui Ku still hasn't rendezvoused with us?"

A person at his side responded saying: "Not yet, let's not wait for him anymore. He's always so unruly, so what if he comes from the Great Thunder Monastery?"

Before the black-clothed man could say anything, a booming voice rose up in the forest: "Not much, I'm just stronger than all of you."

While speaking a short-haired man wearing grey clothes walked out from the dense forest. The man had a gloomy expression, the short hair on his head could not hide the six conspicuous precept scars on his scalp.

Lin Feng pursued behind the people of the SSG. While walking he took out an old book from his shirt, ripping out a page and throwing it on the ground while his two disciples weren't paying attention, so as to leave behind a trail for the pursuers of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji to follow.

"Master, why are we following behind like thieves in the night?" Xiao Yan asked in puzzlement: "Why don't you just directly go up and save him?"

Lin Feng said with a calm expression: "Their every move is within master's eyes. Right now I'm in no rush to save him, master wants to first observe him for a bit to see exactly how is the temperament and will of this new junior of yours."

"Let's see how he performs under this kind of adverse danger."

Lin Feng glanced at Xiao Yan with a smile: "I had also seriously observed you too, if not that you still persisted and did not give up in adversity, master would not have taken you as a disciple."

Xiao Yan also smiled, nodding his head convinced and not saying anything more.

Suddenly thinking of something Lin Feng asked: "Little Yan, was that monk you guys encounter able to cultivate Fury Acala Flames?"

Lin Feng's Art of Acala is only the upper half. Even though one is still able to practise it, it has its limits. Moreover one is unable to cultivate the sublime ability of this dao technique the Fury Acala Flames.

Xiao Yan just assumes that Lin Feng wants to teach him the dao technique step by step so he's never suspected anything. Hearing Lin Feng ask him right now he answered saying: "I'm not sure. We alerted the patrolling squadron and they surrounded that monk. Afterwards he released a terrifying green coloured flame and broke free."

"The mana flames cultivated by regular fire class dao technique are all orange. According to the records of the dao technique of the Art of Acala, the Fury Acala Flames should be pure-gold." Xiao Yan lifted his brow in confusion: "Yet the fire that monk released is green, but the dao technique he practises is definitely the Art of Acala, no mistake."

After thinking for a moment Lin Feng came to a conclusion: "The Art of Acala that monk practises is incomplete, in addition it's most like missing the most important opening chapter that contains the general principles."

The content of dao techniques is naturally more profound the further in, but the beginning of the Art of Acala has a couple of verses about the general principles that touches briefly on the essentials. It appears shallow but it is actually the basis of the entire dao technique.

Missing these few verses, even if the rest of the dao technique is complete it is very easy for one to go the wrong direction when practising it. Even if one is able to finish practising the entire Art of Acala, it'll be like a castle in the air without a good foundation. shaking and crumbling.

Lin Feng may not have the lower half content of the Art of Acala but the upper half he possesses is very complete, not a single word is wrong, Xiao Yan also practises it meticulously.

That monk spent his entire life studying the Art of Acala, naturally he can tell with a glance that the Art of Acala Xiao Yan practises contains the general principle verses which is why he coveted it and acted out to capture Xiao Yan.

After listening Xiao Yan asked with a grin: "Master, the Art of Acala I practise is also incomplete, when will you teach the lower-half to me?"

Lin Feng smiled saying: "Don't bite off more than you can chew, learn what you know first."

After sending away Xiao Yan, Lin Feng laughed coldly in his heart: "Touch my disciple, rob my manual? Damn baldy, let's see who robs who."

This group of people from the SSG have clearly lurked around in the center of the Zhou Dynasty for a long time. Not only are they familiar with the surrounding land, they've even set up many secret reinforcement posts and have a complete evacuation route and plan.

But with Lin Feng constantly pointing the way their location was clearly exposed. In not even three day's time the pursuers of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji had already bitten their tails.

Even though they still haven't pinpointed their location, the pursuers have already circled over from all directions, blocking the people of the SSG in a mountain and constantly narrowing the encirclement.

Lin Feng brought along his two disciples and became increasingly more cautious. Hiding his tracks to avoid getting caught up in trouble.

In the mountain the group of people rapidly advanced. The leader is a bald old man, he has an aquiline nose and deep sunken eyes. He's the spitting image of a vulture. (TL: Bald as in a bald spot on his head.)

The bald old man suddenly stopped his feet, the people behind him also all stopped. The old man's cold gaze swept the surroundings but did not discover anything.

A person behind him asked in a low voice: "Mr. Vulture, is there something wrong?"

Mr. Vulture's eyes flashed, he was silent and did not speak. Suddenly a white bone flew out from his sleeve.

That seems to be the thigh bone of some creature, it is as white as polished jade and crystal clear, one side of the bone stick is very thick, looking like a hammer.

The bone stick flew into the air, growing as it went along. Originally it was one foot long but in the end it had a length of a whole dozen meters. It was as thick as a water bucket and a thick aura of evil charged out from the bone stick, frightening all of the creatures in the forest and making them feel fear as if they were about to die.

Mr. Vulture waved his hand, the bone stick flew up carrying the sound of a tempest, hitting a small mountain in the distance.

With a loud "Bang" the massive mountain peak was directly smashed into pieces by the massive bone hammer. Countless mountain rocks rolled down the mountain, dirt and dust rose upwards covering the sky.

The bone stick returned above Mr. Vulture's head and turned back to a length of one foot, going into Mr. Vulture's sleeves.

Seeing everybody look towards him, Mr. Vulture released a displeased tut: "I felt like someone was prying on us, looks like I was oversensitive, let's go."

The group of people continued on their way, disappearing in the dense mountain.

On a mountain beside the destroyed mountain peak, Lin Feng and co. hid their aura. After watching the bald old man and his party leave Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "That old geezer is a foundation establishment stage cultivator, right?"

Lin Feng nodded his head. He wasn't worried that he would be discovered, the key is Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian could very easily expose their whereabouts.

"Although, even if we expose ourselves a bit it's okay." Lin Feng chuckled.

The bald old man doesn't know that they're already very close to the people of the SSG, with this the old geezer will definitely have alarmed them.

Sure enough, after a moment fierce mana fluctuations travelled over from within the valley in front.

Lin Feng and co. approached nearby, seeing that in the dry valley Mr. Vulture and his party had surrounded a grey-clothed man in the middle, engaging in an intense battle.

Mr. Vulture's bone stick had turned back into a massive dozen meter long stick sweeping up and down. With him as the main force the cultivators released all kinds of spells, surrounding the grey-clothed man and giving him a beat-down.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian looked at each other, lowering their voices and saying: "Master, that guy wearing the grey clothes is monk that intercepted us!"

Lin Feng focused his eyes and looked over. The grey-clothed man has a head of spiky short hair, six precept scars can be faintly seen on his scalp.

Even though he's at a disadvantage this person is still calm and unhurried, light-green flames burst forth around his body, burning fiercely.

The instant the opponent's spells touched the green flames they would instantly be burned to nothingness. Some people also used fire class spells to attack him, but the green flames were truly domineering, even treating the raging orange flames as fuel and burning them.

The group of people attacked him for a long time but the grey-clothed monk's green flames instead became increasingly more powerful, the intensity of the fire increasingly greater.

Only Mr. Vulture's bone stick magic item could threaten the grey-clothed monk, even the green flames could not block it, forcing the grey-clothed monk to dodge.

While controlling his magic item Mr. Vulture spoke out to mess with his mind: "Monk, those people of the Society of the Strong Gale are clearly treating you as cannon fodder, leaving you behind to bring up the rear. Only an idiot like you would believe in their words."

The grey-clothed monk Hui Ku was a bit infuriated. Originally he volunteered to bring up the rear because he wanted to show off his skills, but he didn't guess that he would instead be entangled by the enemy. How can he convince the people of the SSG like this.

Hui Ku said in his heart: "After this I have to capture that kid I met that day. If I am able to cultivate the true Fury Acala Fire why would I have to work so hard?"

While thinking a beam of sword aura suddenly flew over from far away, chopping down right above Hui Ku's head. The green flames were actually completely unable to stop it.

Hui Ku was greatly shocked, getting out of the way and dodging. The sword aura missed, cutting a mountain peak behind Hui Ku, actually slicing apart the mountain peak. The massive mountain top rolled downwards, in the loud rumbling sound the earth moved and the mountains shook as if an earthquake.

After the mountain peak landed, the sliced surface of the mountain was smooth as a mirror. Lin Feng who was hiding at the side slightly frowned: "What a powerful sword cultivator, his level is at the foundation establishment stage and he possesses a high-grade flying sword."

A black-clothed swordsman appeared at the scene, his venomous eyes staring at Hui Ku.

Hui Ku stared at the black-clothed swordsman but he didn't dare to place all of his attention on him alone. The corner of his eyes looked towards the other direction and as expected, a white-robed middle-aged man slowly walked out of the forest. He had the appearance of a scholar but those vast mana fluctuations said that he is a foundation establishment stage cultivator on the same level as the black-clothed swordsman and Mr. Vulture.

"Who could have guessed that the leftover evil of the Great Thunder Monastery actually mixed together with the Society of the Strong Gale." The white-robed scholar exclaimed in amazement. While examining Hui Ku he lifted his hand and sent out a couple of white lights. The white lights flew into the air and exploded, turning into a curtain of light and enveloping the surrounding mountains.

Hui Kui stared at him coldly. The white-robed scholar said coolly: "The surroundings have already been sealed by my formation, you can't escape."

Finishing speaking, he and the black-clothed swordsman along with Mr. Vulture formed a triangle, surrounding Hui Ku in the middle while the other qi disciple stage cultivators were spread out in the outer ring.

Lin Feng furrowed his brows. The levels of these three people are all about the same as Hui Ku's. With three against one, don't mention escaping, even taking one down with him is already pretty good for Hui Ku.

The most probable outcome is that he'll even he caught alive.

Lin Feng was in the middle of thinking when he suddenly saw a vile smile surface on Hui Ku's face completely out of line with his identity as a monk.

The grey-clothed monk said with a laugh: "The ones who can't escape are you guys." Before his voice had even died away Hui Ku threw up his hand, 24 spots of light flew up into the air, forming an intriguing formation.

Lin Feng's expression slightly changed. From within that formation he sensed an incredibly terrifying power fluctuation, this kind of danger that reached his soul is something that he also felt before from that aurous core stage elder of the Blaze Sword Sect.

Lin Feng closely looked over, discovering that the 24 spots of light that Hui Ku threw into the air were actually a bunch of brown beads. Each of them were as big as a walnut, emitting a golden radiance in the air.

Lin Feng twitched his nose, smelling a faint scent of sandalwood. The 24 beads in the air all revealed a peaceful and grand aura.

Facing these 24 beads Lin Feng felt as if he were facing 24 enlightened monks.

The expression of the three foundation establishment stage cultivators surrounding Hui Ku all slightly changed. The white-robed middle-aged man looked at Hui Ku in shock: "Sariras, these are sariras?! You actually possess 24 sariras, did you refine the sariras of the elders of your sect into magic items?"

Hearing this the expressions of Mr. Vulture and the black-clothed swordsman all became very cloudy. The black-clothed swordsman opened his mouth for the first time since appearing: "You betraying scum!"

In the process of the 24 sariras rising up into the air, an instant of pain and guilt flashed across Hui Ku's eyes, but afterwards they were filled with endless anger and malice.

Hearing the black-clothed swordsman's condemning words, Hui Ku laughed loudly, his expression crazed: "Even if I descend into the Unintermittent hell, I will make you evil demons pay. This is the path Lord Buddha showed me, my seniors will definitely understand me."

He heavily placed his hands together, saying in a deep voice: "Buddha is merciful, sweeping away evil, 24 Heaven Arhat Formation, open!"

Following Hui Ku's hasty shout, the 24 sariras in the air all released a dazzling Buddhist light.

The Buddhist light connected together, forming a golden cloud, enveloping the surrounding thousand feet around Hui Ku. Waves of Buddhist zen singing came from the Buddhist light, overlapping with each other resulting in a deafening loudness.

Mr. Vulture and co. were all enveloped by the Buddhist light, as if they were in a separate space completely cut-off from the outside world.

The white-robed middle-aged man shook his head: "Competing against me on formations? You are no match monk, you're only asking to be humiliated…" Speaking half-way he suddenly stopped.

The white-robed middle-aged man looked forward with a stunned expression, Mr. Vulture and the black-clothed swordsman were also the same. The other qi disciple stage cultivators all trembled in fear.

Heavy shadows manifested in the Buddhist light, each of them were over 100 feet tall, their entire bodies flashing with a golden light. They were all vajra arhats, each of them releasing an incredibly terrifying aura.

There were a total of 24 arhat light figures, each of their mana fluctuations could compare with a foundation establishment stage cultivator.

24 foundation establishment stage cultivators!

Lin Feng and his disciples stared wide-eyed. This monk is way too intense, actually possessing such a fierce magic item.

"Good heavens, one magic item manifesting 24 foundation establishment stage cultivators. Whoever has a magic item like this can do whatever they want in the foundation establishment stage." Lin Feng swallowed his saliva, incredibly envious: "Don't mention foundation establishment stage, even if he bumps into a regular aurous core stage cultivator he'll have the strength to protect himself, no wonder that damn baldy dared to stay behind on his own."

Hui Ku's figure disappeared out of sight, hiding in the Buddhist light. Only the hands of the 24 arhat light figures came together, chanting: "Buddha is merciful, repent and be saved."

The voices pierced the soul like the morning bell and evening drum of the temple, making all of the people in the Buddhist light develop an illusion for an instant, as if they were guilty of terrible crimes and deserve to be suppressed and captured, released into reincarnation.

The three people are all cultivators who have attained the foundation establishment stage. Their wills are firm and they quickly reacted over. As for those qi disciple stage cultivators, none of them were hurt but they all slumped to the ground, they've already lost the awareness to resist.

Lin Feng felt chills while looking from a mountain at the side. 24 Buddhist foundation establishment stage cultivators shouting together, they don't even need to harm the enemy and are able to overwhelm them, making them lose the will to resist.

What weakness does the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation have? Because it's a formation, it's not easily moved?" Lin Feng's thoughts rapidly turned, thinking of a countermeasure: "Extremely heavy mana consumption? Or are these arhat light figures just empty shells to scare people?"

Very quickly they used their actions to answer Lin Feng's question.

Seeing Mr. Vulture and the other two foundation establishment stage cultivators not submit, the 24 arhat light figures once again chanted a prayer and then charged over in small groups.

The black-clothed swordsman released a cold snort, slashing the golden arhat with a flash of his sword.

"Scritch—"

The piercing sound of grinding metal rose up. The flying sword that can cut down a mountain only opened up a crack on the golden arhat's chest.The golden arhat felt nothing, a pair of big hands grabbing towards the flying sword.

The black-clothed swordsman manipulated the flying sword and retreated, but there were two other golden arhats attacking from the left and right. Four palms pushing out together, the radiant Buddhist light had practically condensed into a solid state, actually sealing the nimble flying sword in the air.

Two other golden arhats rushed over to the black-clothed swordsman himself, fists as big as a water jar smashing down on his head!

"Damn baldy!" The black-clothed swordsman's expression paled. All of his cultivation prowess is focused on his flying sword, losing the flying sword his fighting ability is immediately greatly reduced. He can only evade flustered, at the same time doing his best to call back his flying sword.

The flying sword struggled desperately in the Buddhist light, emitting a screeching hum. Even the blade became a bit distorted, but no matter what it was unable to escape from the imprisonment of the Buddhist light.

On the contrary it is the three golden arhats trapping the flying sword that were still constantly increasing their power. Six giant palms grouped together, the Buddhist light in their palms became increasingly stronger and thick smoke started to rise up from the black-clothed swordsman's flying sword.

The flying sword hummed non-stop as if it were alive, releasing miserable wails.

Seeing this Lin Feng could already completely confirm that this magic item of Hui Ku's really can materialize 24 foundation establishment stage arhat light figures.

Perhaps their intelligence is not high enough, perhaps they are not nimble enough, perhaps they look like they can only fight in close quarters and don't know any spells… But in terms of mana these golden arhats all possess the level of foundation establishment stage cultivators.

Moreover they clearly do not feel pain and are not afraid of injury. They can unhesitatingly adopt a life for a life fighting tactic.

Ten golden arhats even stayed on the spot and didn't move, the other 14 struck out together, beating the the crap out of Mr. Vulture and the other two in an instant.

With such a grand difference in strength, Mr. Vulture and co. won't even have the chance to die while taking one down. Whether it's being captured alive or crushed to death all depends on Hui Ku's mood.

Nobody thought beforehand that Hui Ku was actually so fierce. Originally it was a hopeless 1vs3 situation but things turned around in an instant, turning into 24vs3.

Right now in the hearts of Mr. Vulture and co. there were undoubtedly thousands of grassland horses covered in mud running past. (TL: See bottom for Chinese internet language lesson.)

Lin Feng also felt depressed. Xiao Yan this main character is truly skillful, the first opponent that he provoked is already so fierce. Even more unexpectedly is that this damn baldy is actually in cahoots with the SSG that kidnapped Zhu Yi.

Protecting Xiao Yan, saving Zhu Yi, to do all of this he has to get past Hui Ku.

Thinking here a cold light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes: "I can't let things go so smoothly for him, I've got to knock him down a bit… First I've got to find his weakness."

Lin Feng thought for a moment, pulling over Xiao Yan and whispering a few commands in his ear.

Xiao Yan was dazed for a moment: "What is this for?"

Lin Feng pretended to be profound, replying faintly: "I naturally have my arrangements, all you need is to do as I say. Maybe there's something good for you today here."

Xiao Yan curled his lips: "Don't fool me master!"

Lin Feng raised his hand, scolding with a laugh: "Damn brat, you looking for a beating."

Xiao Yan stuck out his tongue, swiftly running down the mountain and arriving near the cloud formed by the Buddhist light.

He acted according to Lin Feng's instructions, wandering a few rounds around the Buddhist light. He was instantly discovered by Hui Ku who was in the light cloud.

"You wear out iron shoes in hunting round, when all the time it's easy to be found!" Hui Ku was first overjoyed, but then looking at Mr. Vulture and co. in the Buddhist light he then started to feel troubled: "I'll deal with these crooks right away, it's such a pity if I give up now. But what if things drag on for too long and that kid runs?"

After Hui Ku hesitated for a moment he bit his teeth, opening up his personal bag and letting out a small snake.

The little snake grew while it was in the air, actually turning into a giant golden python over 100 meters long. It's head was like the size of a small room and it's mouth was filled with sharp fangs as long and thick as an elephant's tusk. Hui Ku extended his hand pointing towards Xiao Yan: "I want him alive."

The giant golden python landed on the ground, shooting towards Xiao Yan like an arrow.

Seeing the giant golden python Xiao Yan was slightly shocked. While this python slithered it did not carry any hint of the smell of blood, on the contrary it released a faint sandalwood scent.

Two little bumps bulged up on the giant python's head, as if they were the horns on the head of a flood dragon. Its speed slithering on the ground was fast as lightning, the combat strength of this kind of savage beast is enough to rival a qi disciple level 10 and above cultivator.

Lin Feng's warning floated up in Xiao Yan's head at this moment: "If that monk sends out a magic item or spiritual pet to deal with you, do not tangle with it on the spot, just run towards the mountains far-away."

Xiao Yan twitched his lips, turning around and running. The giant golden python pursued closely behind him.

On the mountaintop Lin Feng watched Xiao Yan and the giant python escaping and chasing, running further and further away, yet in the Buddhist light formation Hui Ku did not chase over. Seeing here a warm smile like the sun resurfaced on Lin Feng's face.

If you're confused about the grassland horses covered in mud running by then here's the explanation. In Chinese, 'Screw your mom" is 肏你妈, cao ni ma, which has the same pronunciation (different tone) as 草泥马, cao ni ma, which word for word means grass mud horse. So essentially, thousands of grass mud horses running by in your heart is a more joking way of saying Holy Crap and stuff like that.

Hui Ku only sent out a giant golden python to capture Xiao Yan while he himself still stayed in the Buddhist light formation.

Seeing this Lin Feng understood things clearly: "As expected, those 24 golden arhats can only move about within the 1000 foot area covered by the Buddhist light. As the one directing the formation that big monk also cannot leave the area of the Buddhist light.

In addition it looks like Hui Ku is putting all of his focus in directing the formation and is unable to use any other cultivation skills.

Lin Feng thought in his heart: "All that's left is a key point that still can't be confirmed yet, and that is if those 24 sariras forming the formation are all indispensable? As long as one is missing will the formation be unable to be maintained?"

While thinking Lin Feng quietly said towards Xiao Budian beside him: "Go help your senior apprentice-brother, I leave that snake to you to. Master will not do anything, this could also be considered a test for you guys."

Hearing this Xiao Budian was not flustered, instead he was eager to try and moreover smiled like a thief saying: "Master, if we slaughter that snake will the blood and meat and stuff all belong to us?"

Lin Feng knocked on his little head, scolding with a smile: "Damn brat, all you know is eating!"

Xiao Budian laughed, Lin Feng shook his head grumpily: "Go then, how much you can gain depends on your ability."

"Thank you master!" Xiao Budian cried out in joy, disappearing out of sight in the turn of an eye and charging in the direction of Xiao Yan and the giant python.

This giant golden python is a natural born aberration and was trained by Hui Ku using secret Buddhist techniques, it's strength and speed are all shockingly high and far superior to regular beasts.

If not that Lin Feng had already passed on to Xiao Yan the Cloud Dragon Escape Technique he would not be able to outrun this giant snake.

"This guy's like a tiny mountain when it coils up, how come it's so fast with such a massive body!" Xiao Yan cursed in his heart, his body suddenly doing a strange turn and avoiding the snake jaw that lunged violently from behind.

The giant snake's head is as big as a small house, opening up its big mouth and swallowing Xiao Yan whole is nothing but a piece of cake.

"Senior, here, over here!"

Xiao Yan was in the middle of madly sprinting when he suddenly heard Xiao Budian's shouts. Lifting his head and looking over, Xiao Budian was waving his hands at him on a mountain.

"This kid, could he…" With a thought Xiao Yan instantly changed direction, running towards the mountain Xiao Budian is at.

The giant golden python followed closely behind him, sweeping through all obstructions. Where its massive body passed by, rocks burst and towering old tree fell down in groups like cut wheat.

"Let me test your might." On the mountaintop Xiao Budian rose up into the air, his body like an extraordinary cloud dragon, rushing straight towards the giant golden python's head.

The giant golden python released a soundless roar, its big mouth biting towards Xiao Budian. Yet Xiao Budian's body flashed in the air, dodging the snake's blood-pool-like mouth and nimbly landing on the snake's neck.

Xiao Budian grinned saying: "You hit the snake at the seventh inch, you may be big but I can still figure out where your 'seventh inch' is." Finishing speaking he lifted his leg and kicked the giant snake's body. ("For certain snakes the seventh inch is where the heart is, obviously it's different for different snakes. Overall it just means hit where it hurts.)

Lightning flashed at the tip of his feet, his tiny body bringing about rumbling thunder, his spirit and atmosphere was not the slightest bit weaker than the giant golden python's.

The lightning exploded, stirring up beams of golden light and a touch of blood red. Those are snake scales and snake blood. With one kick of Xiao Budian's the giant golden python became wounded.

The giant python released an angry cry, suddenly twisting its body, its thick golden tail sweeping across and whipping towards Xiao Budian.

If this hits, regardless of how strong Xiao Budian's body is he'll still be turned into mush!

But Xiao Budian did not meet it head on, his body nimbly evading to the side and dodging the giant python's retaliation.

Xiao Yan who was being chased by the giant python the whole time silently appeared at this time. After evading the giant python's tail sweep he arrived on its back, his goal was precisely the wound that Xiao Budian had just created.

A hint of aggression surfaced on Xiao Yan's face: "You elongated bug, you had a lot of fun chasing me just now, huh?" Flipping his palm, bursting fire mana rapidly gathered, turning into real flames and burning above Xiao Yan's palm.

The next moment the blazing fire seemed to have been suppressed, Xiao Yan did not let the flames continue to spread out, instead he was compressing it towards the center.

He extended his two hands outwards, his two palms facing each other with a distance of one foot. The crimson red flames continuously compressed together between his two palms, in the end becoming a tiny red ball of light.

The ball of light may be small but it harbors terrifying heat and explosive power. It was like a tiny sun, filled with an oppressive, destructive aura.

It is precisely the secret technique of the Void Temple that Yan Mingyue passed on to Xiao Yan, Red Lotus Burst!

The tiny ball of light is only as big as a human's fist, its size is completely disproportional to the giant golden python, but the giant golden python sensed danger at the first moment. In a pair of cold, slit-like pupils revealed a color of fear.

Xiao Yan's hands pushed forward, the tiny red coloured ball of light flying towards the wound on the giant python.

The giant golden python wanted to dodge but the ball of light's flying speed was exceedingly quick, not giving it any chance to evade and directly hitting its target.

Time seemed to pause for an instant at this moment, and then the frozen scene suddenly shattered, violent flames exploded with a roar, the powerful strength as if wanting to shatter this area of space.

"Hisss–"

The giant golden python released heavy cries, half of its body was engulfed in flames, rolling around in pain in the mountains.

Even though Lin Feng was paying close attention to the battle of Hui Ku and co., he still split out half of his focus watching over Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian. Seeing his two disciples working closely together and beating the crap out of that giant hundred meter long python, Lin Feng spread his lips: "These two brats, they really are merciless."

Shaking his head Lin Feng felt that there was nothing to be concerned about anymore with this battle, but suddenly sensing something he sensed that a change had occurred to the giant golden python.

In the screaming cries the giant golden python opened its mouth wide, beams of golden light suddenly burst out from its mouth. Waves of Buddhist chanting actually came out from its mouth, A boundless Buddhist mana fluctuation spread outward.

Lin Feng closely looked over, seeing a small mass of light slowly rise up from the giant python's mouth. It burned so strongly that it was difficult to open one's eyes, the Buddhist light and chanting came precisely from this mass of light.

The mass of light leaving the giant python's body, the golden scales on the giant python's body became a lot fainter. The fragrance of sandalwood vanished and the strong stench of a snake came forth.

The giant python opened wide a pair of vertical-line-like pupils, coldly staring at Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian, it's gaze filled with monstrous killing intent.

The two kids also instantly realized that something was wrong, splitting up and escaping to the left and right.

After they just left the spot that they were originally standing at, a brilliant beam of golden light shot out from the mass of light in the snakes mouth, smashing into the mountain.

The golden light disappearing, a clear round hole appeared at the center of the massive mountain, through the hole one can clearly see the scenery in the distance.

This beam of golden light directly pierced through the entire mountain!

Lin Feng was slightly shocked, this power could already compare to the attack of a foundation establishment stage cultivator.

At this time he could already clearly see that at the center of the mass of light is a strangely shaped magic item, mana fluctuations constantly surged. Even though it was deep and powerful, it was not stable enough.

"This magic item has been damaged before." With a turn of his mind Lin Feng instantly understood: "This big monk really has a good plan."

Hui Ku is actually using the vital energy of the abnormal snake to nurture the damaged magic item, thereby making the magic item recover faster and at the same time also using the spiritual energy of the magic item to nourish this giant python, making the giant python even stronger and quickly increasing its strength.

But like this Lin Feng is unable to sit still, this giant python has already become a huge threat towards Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian also realize that this giant snake is about to get serious. Xiao Budian yelled saying: "Don't fret senior apprentice-brother, if it didn't have a bit of skill then my arrangements would have been wasted!"

While speaking Xiao Budian brought his hands together, forming a spell sign and shouting: "Move!"

Nine violet dots of light rose up in the surroundings of the mountain, in the sound of violent currents nine arcs of lightning shot towards the giant golden python.

Lin Feng has already established his master impression in the hearts of his two disciples, like this some things he does not hide anymore and can pass on to his disciples to increase their strength.

Right now Xiao Budian has unleashed the Nine Heavens Thunder Summoning that Lin Feng taught him.

The initial nine arcs of lightning did not cause much damage to the giant python, but the next moment the lightning that descended from the skies bombarded its body, directly splitting off the lower half of its body including its tail!

The powerful attack of formations borrowing the energy of the world was perfectly embodied at this moment.

Xiao Yan watched at this side, unable to resist letting out a cheer: "Nice! Beautiful… Careful, dodge!"

Xiao Budian was in the middle of feeling pleased with himself, only when he heard Xiao Yan's warning did he discover that after suffering such a heavy injury, the giant golden python instead became completely wild.

Its massive head abruptly rose up, towering over Xiao Budian who was caught off guard.

Its mouth opening wide, scriptures flowed on the golden magic item and radiant golden light once again condensed. The next instant it was about to smash right into Xiao Budian!

Xiao Budian felt the sky above his head suddenly darken, that was the giant python's head.

The next moment the darkness above his head suddenly lit up again, so bright that one could not even open one's eyes. That is the light emitted by the magic item in the giant python's mouth.

Terrifyingly powerful mana fluctuations spread outward.

"Dodge!"

Xiao Yan suddenly charged over from the side, knocking Xiao Budian out of the way. Xiao Budian may have escaped from the giant python's attack range, but Xiao Yan has exposed himself beneath the snake's mouth, facing head-on that terrifying buddhist magic item.

Xiao Budian cried out in shock: "Eldest apprentice-brother!"

The boldness in the black-clothed youth's heart was completely aroused, facing the radiant golden buddhist light he did not dodge or evade, lifting up his two hands.

Between his hands floated a crimson red orb of light filled with a blazing, destructive aura.

"Let's see who dies first!" Xiao Yan clenched his teeth, facing head-on the buddhist light that can turn him into dust with one hit and preemptively releasing Red Lotus Burst!

The red orb of light turned into a beam of crimson light, flying into the giant python's wide-opened mouth. At the same time, that buddhist magic item in the snake's mouth had accumulated mana to the extreme, turning into a beam of radiant buddhist light and smashing towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's Red Lotus Burst was a step faster, taking the lead and exploding in the snake's mouth only a thousandth of a second faster than the buddhist light.

But the unstoppable buddhist light has already taken form, will it dissipate due to this explosion?

Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian both did not know the answer, because a white arc of lightning even more domineering and violent than the buddhist light flashed across the sky, striking the giant python's head a step faster than the Red Lotus Burst.

Northern Aurora Mystic Light!

The domineering lightning directly opened up a hole in the giant golden python's head. After piercing through the snake's head it heavily struck that buddhist magic item.

The magic item released a resonant ring, it was forced to use all of the buddhist light that it originally planned on using to attack Xiao Yan to protect itself, no longer having the strength to attack.

At this time Xiao Yan's Red Lotus Burst finally exploded in the snake's mouth, directly blowing up into a bloody mist the giant python's already heavily wounded head.

"Master!" Xiao Budian cheered loudly, Xiao Yan was also covered in cold sweat at this moment: "Master, you almost killed me!"

Lin Feng swiftly landed beside them, a body of taoist clothing appearing even more dashing and divine in the battle-razed mountains.

Lifting his hand and catching the buddhist magic item that fell from the air, Lin Feng turning his head and smiled at Xiao Yan saying: "I already said that you might have a fortuitous encounter today and that there would be threats but no danger."

While speaking Lin Feng raised up the buddhist magic item in his hand and shook it: "When I erase the restrictions set by the original owner this thing will belong to you."

Xiao Yan was exalted: "Haha, all things considered I didn't put my life on the line for nothing."

Lin Feng looked at him with a smile: "Little Yan, I'm proud of you, you've got the attitude of an eldest apprentice-brother."

At this time Xiao Budian pounced over and grabbed Xiao Yan's hand: "Yeah senior apprentice-brother, it's all thanks to you just now…"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, saying smugly: "Don't sweat it."

But who knew that Xiao Budian continued to say: "… Even though I could also dodge it myself, but I still have to thank you." Instantly making Xiao Yan not sure whether he should laugh or cry. Feels like this junior apprentice-brother is even more smug than he is.

Xiao Budian then turned his head toward Lin Feng and asked: "Master, master, that magic item goes to senior apprentice-brother, what about me?"

Lin Feng pointed at the already dead giant python: " Didn't you have your mind on it? It's all yours, how much you can take depends on you." Pausing for a moment Lin Feng continued to say: "Collect some more snake blood, you also have to take the snake bile. You're almost five years old, these things are all good materials for your baptism."

Xiao Budian let out a cheer and then charged towards the giant python. He may be young but when he was in the village he went hunting with the men, collecting these materials is a familiar task for him.

Hearing Lin Feng wanting to give Xiao Budian a baptism, Xiao Yan also went and helped out. A child's baptism at the age of five has a very important effect on their body.

Xiao Yan couldn't help imagining things: "Junior apprentice-brother's talent is already so high, if he then goes through a baptism how terrifying will that be? Just thinking about it makes people look forward to it."

While his two disciples were busy at the side butchering the giant python, Lin Feng's attention had already returned over to Hui Ku and co.

Not sure if it's because he sensed the giant python being killed and his magic item getting robbed, but large ripples arose in Hui Ku's mind and he was nearly unable to maintain that overpowering 24 Heaven Arhat Formation.

Originally, facing this hopeless situation of certain death Mr. Vulture and co. were already about to give up all hope, but they didn't expect that something wrong would happen with Hui Ku himself. The three people in the formation instantly sensed the changes within, hope rising up again in their hearts.

The three people all knew that it was already at the moment of life or death, all of them releasing their strongest skills. They don't ask to defeat Hui Ku, only hoping to be able to get out of the buddhist light formation.

The three people fought desperately together and Hui Ku was also not in his best condition. Like this they were actually able to charge out of the formation.

Seeing that he was about to lose everything Hui Ku howled in anger, just barely gathering his focus and circulating the power of the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation to the extreme.

The 24 arhat light figures gathered together, chanting the name of Buddha together. The buddhist light above their heads came together, forming two massive hands that covered the sky.

The two massive buddhist palms descended from the sky, directly slapping the white-robed middle-aged man and the black-clothed swordsman to the ground.

But they missed out Mr. Vulture. How could the bald old man care about his companions at this time, a mouth of vital blood spraying onto the bone stick magic item.

The jade-white bone stick became increasingly more crystal clear with a faint red glow flashing, directly turning into a length of over 100 meters and heavily smashing the buddhist light formation, directly piercing through the buddhist light and carrying Mr.Vulture charging out of the area of the formation.

Hui Ku was furious, the massive palms formed by the buddhist light striking towards Mr. Vulture. Mr. Vulture raised the bone stick, just barely blocking the attack but coughing out blood from the attack. Almost all of his mana was scattered from the attack.

Taking this hit, Mr. Vulture and the bone stick were sent flying together. Directly going over a mountain and falling in a forest a dozen miles away.

Mr. Vulture lay on the ground, coughing out another mouth of blood. He felt like all of the bones in his body had been broken into pieces and that even his internal organs had changed places.

"This monk is so ruthless, actually refining the sariras of his elders into magic items. It's no good, I have to go back and get more experts here to be able to subdue this cur." Mr. Vulture struggled up from the ground and also felt a bit rejoiced in his heart. Three people were trapped and only he was able to successfully escape.

And yet, when his thoughts reached this point Mr. Vulture suddenly felt his scalp go numb and his hairs stand up, as if some calamity was about to descend upon him.

Feeling that something was wrong, he was just about to react but was still too late.

Without any noise Lin Feng appeared behind him, in his hand was precisely Mr. Vulture's bone stick magic item. Right now it had already shrunk to its original length of one foot and was being used by Lin Feng as a hammer, hitting the back of Mr. Vulture's head with a bam.

Mr. Vulture cried aloud, his eyes dizzy, but even though he was gravely injured his mana still surged wildly, desperately fighting back and not wanting himself to faint over, moreover wanting to turn around and see who exactly it is.

But just turning his head around, a mass of snow-white had already come down before he could see anyone, the bone stick magic item once again striking down and hitting his forehead.

"Bam"

Mr. Vulture's eyes rolled over and he fainted, the last thought in his mind was: "This giant bone stick, how come it seems to be my bone mace?"

Lin Feng weighed the bone mace in his hands. This magic item is severely weakened from being hit by the giant buddhist hands Hui Ku materialized, it didn't resist at all when Lin Feng held it in his hands to attack its master. The mana fluctuations in the magic item are also very weak, looks like it needs to recuperate for a long time to be able to return to normal.

Although it's pretty handy treating it as a hammer to hit people, its length, thickness and weight are all just right.

While thinking Lin Feng suddenly discovered that his two disciples beside him were all looking at him with a blank look, their eyes shifting between Lin Feng and the bone mace in his hands.

Lin Feng's expression was calm, letting out a dry cough: "Did you guys see clearly? Using the baihui point above the head as a marker and moving forwards or backwards one inch, hitting these two spots can make people quickly lose conscious."

"Did you guys learn it?"

Xiao Budian blankly nodded his head while Xiao Yan's lips twitched: "Master, this… isn't this just a sneak attack?"

"Wrong, master is showing to you guys the correct way to capture the opponent alive." Lin Feng said seriously: "IF you guys didn't pay attention then master will demonstrate it one more time."

While speaking Lin Feng released a sliver of thunder mana, stimulating Mr Vulture's nerve points and making him wake up.

The bald old man woke up, murmuring: "What happened, I think someone attacked me from behind…" Before he could figure out his surrounding environment, Mr. Vulture's hairs suddenly stood up, his scalp going numb, that familiar feeling came back again."

"Bam"

He felt a piercing pain at the back of his head, his vision going black. It was the same feeling as last time, he suffered a staggering blow again!

"Again?!" Mr. Vulture forced himself to resist the pain, while straining himself to keep his eyes open to ensure that he didn't instantly faint, he did his best to turn his head. This time he has to see exactly who it is attack him from behind again and again.

What entered into his eyes was still a field of hazy white. Mr. Vulture couldn't hold back from cursing: "It really is my bone mace…" But not waiting for him to see even more clearly, that hammer came down and once again hit his forehead.

"Ugh…" Mr. Vulture's eyes rolled over, carrying boundless anger and endless regret and fainting over again.

Lin Feng turned his head with a calm expression, asking indifferently: "Did you guys see clearly this time?"

Xiao Yan was dumbfounded, Xiao Budian clapped his hands and smiled saying: "Yes master, can you let me try?"

Lin Feng handed the bone mace over to Xiao Budian with a faint smile: "Trying is one thing, have some discretion, don't kill him, master still has some things to ask him in a bit."

Xiao Yan watched as Xiao Budian walked towards Mr. Vulture who had been repeatedly knocked unconscious with an excited expression on his face. He couldn't help but shake his head and turn his head to the side.

What happened next was practically unbearable to watch.

Capturing Mr. Vulture, Lin Feng relaxed his heart. Towards the black-clothed swordsman and the white-robed middle-age man he could only say sorry.

Right now his mind is entirely on this buddhist magic item in his hands that seems like the combination of a pestle and awl.

After searching through the trade system Lin Feng confirmed that this magic item is one of the legendary 10 great buddhist dharma weapons of buddhism, the Thundershock Staff.

Buddhism's 10 great buddhist dharma weapons are all earthshaking treasures with great power. The 10 buddhist weapons combined as one is called "The Infinite World" which is moreover the Great Thunder Monastery's crown treasure.

Real buddhist dharma weapons are all high-quality magic treasures, they are treasures that only primordial soul stage cultivators can create.

But the method of creation of buddhist weapons is widespread within the Great Thunder Monastery, monks of all levels can create them, although the ones created by cultivators belew primordial soul are all magic items, they can only be considered replicas.

This Thundershock Staff Hui Ku is refining right now belongs to this kind of replica.

Lin Feng was slightly disappointed: "So it's not a damaged treasure, it's just that this big monk hasn't successfully refined it yet."

Even though it hasn't been successfully refined, this magic item's power is still enough to move people and it is worthy of the Thundershock Staff's name as a buddhist dharma weapon.

According to buddhist scriptures, in ancient times there was a tyrannical king, the people all indulged in the four cardinal vices, the vulgar aura reached the heavens and brought about divine retribution.

The country suffered a massive drought, sandstorms buried the entire country beneath the earth, torrential rains caused constant flooding, the plague spread everywhere, causing the deaths of all humans and animals within 10 thousand miles. The country was like purgatory.

Buddha arrived to preach the buddhist ways, not bearing to watch the people suffer in misery he was willing to sacrifice himself and take their sins upon him. In the heavens there was a thunder god with a violent temperament, going so far as to cast down his divine artifact which pierced through Buddha's head.

But the spiritual divine artifact was moved by Buddha's benevolence, turning into a powerful buddhist weapon without rival, splitting the earth apart creating channels and guiding the floods into the ocean, dispelling the calamity.

And this magic item is the Thundershock Staff.

Lin Feng does not believe this kind of legend that is clearly just Buddhism putting feathers on its cap, but this doesn't interfere with him from understanding from this legend that the Thundershock Staff's greatest use is not in attacking but in resolving the attacks of others. Astounding defense is this magic item's true strength.

Lin Feng closely examined it for a moment. The Thundershock Staff is a foundation establishment stage magic item, it still hasn't been successfully refined yet, but it withstood the full-on attack of the Northern Aurora Sword that is also a foundation establishment stage magic item. Even though it was damaged, it was not directly destroyed, its defense is indeed worth praising.

While Lin Feng was thinking the Thundershock Staff in his hands suddenly started quivering. There seemed to be some sort of force attracting it, wanting it to break away from Lin Feng's control.

"It's Hui Ku, this monk has gotten his hands free." Lin Feng's heart moved, he lifted up his hand and made a couple of strokes in the air, unleashing Heaven Cage Sigil and sealing the Thundershock Staff.

Hui Ku is a foundation establishment stage cultivator and the Thundershock Staff is also a foundation establishment stage magic item. Even if Lin Feng who is at qi disciple level 10 sets up the Heaven Cage Sigil, he originally would have been unable to seal the Thundershock Staff.

But the Thundershock Staff has after all not been successfully refined yet, moreover it took a hit of Lin Feng's Northern Aurora Mystic Light before. So even though it's struggling, it is unable to break through the Heaven Cage Sigil.

With the appearance of the Heaven Cage Sigil it immediately severed the connection between Hui Ku and the Thundershock Staff, making him unable to communicate with the Thundershock Staff and unable to sense the location of Lin Feng and the magic item.

Disregarding how furious the big monk is, Lin Feng brought along his two disciples along with Mr. Vulture who had the living daylights knocked out of him by Xiao Budian and went around this valley, continuing to chase after the Society of the Strong Gale and Zhu Yi from the other direction.

Along the way Lin Feng continuously studied the Thundershock Staff's structure, discovering that this magic item is refined using a buddhist technique, the traces left behind when Hui Ku refined it are perfectly preserved in the magic item.

"This makes things easy" Lin Feng smiled, other people are unable to learn spells and techniques from this kind of residual trace, even buddhist cultivators of the same school are unable to do so. But for Lin Feng it couldn't be simpler.

Opening the spell analyzer in the system tools, all Lin Feng has to do is patiently wait.

"Analysis complete." After a moment the system notification sound rose up beside Lin Feng's ears, the spell analyzer had also listed out the detailed information.

Spell Name: Minor Samsara Technique

Type: Spell

Effect: Tell right from wrong, discern karma, guide the attacks of others to stray from the original path thereby achieving the goal of defense.

Through the spell analyzer Lin Feng very quickly understand all of the principles and essence of this spell, in turn grasping this spell.

Lin Feng took out the snake blood Xiao Budian and Xiao Yan collected. Being nurtured by the Thundershock Staff for so long, this giant python's blood was actually all a light-golden colour. The blood was very thick but it didn't congeal, it rippled with a faint glow.

After taking away a portion of the snake blood, Lin Feng put the Thundershock Staff in the snake blood and then started to use his own mana to circulate the buddhist spell the Minor Samsara Technique, continuing Hui Ku's unfinished work and refining this buddhist dharma weapon.

Golden light constantly flashed on the surface of the Thundershock Staff, just as if it were alive and breathing in and out. While breathing it was constantly absorbing the spiritual energy in the snake blood.

Hui Ku had already arrived at the final stage of refining this magic item, with just another few day's time he'd be able to finish the job. Yet in the end due to his greed and chasing after Xiao Yan it all went to Lin Feng.

In addition right now Lin Feng is disregarding all costs and spending great effort to refine it. In not even two day's time he successfully finished refining it.

The completely refined Thundershock Staff is completely golden, a radiant golden glow flows on the surface, waves of a sandalwood fragrance assail the nostrils and buddhist chanting fills the ears.

Being placed there, the entire magic item was wrapped in buddhist light and there were countless images flickering in the buddhist light.

Buddhas, arhats, monks, devas, the eight legions, giant elephants, magic trees… Countless figures of light appeared one after another.

Moreover due to Hui Ku having already completed 99% of the work, even though it was Lin Feng who is a qi disciple stage cultivator who gave it the final push, this Thundershock Staff is still a foundation establishment stage magic item, this is what made Lin Feng the most satisfied.

Finishing refining the Thundershock Staff, Lin Feng threw it over to Xiao Yan. This is what he promised, this magic item can effectively bring up his disciple's strength.

Xiao Budian blinked his eyes while looking, going up and shaking Lin Feng's hands: "Master, I also want a foundation establishment stage magic item."

Lin Feng smiled saying: "Didn't you like that hammer?"

Xiao Budian grabbed the bone mace, scratching his head and laughing saying: "I do quite like it, too bad it's broken, why don't you help fix it master."

Lin Feng nodded his head: "There will be time, first master has some official business to do." While speaking he picked up Mr. Vulture who was unconscious on the ground.

The poor bald old man, his head was already filled with bumps from being hit by Xiao Budian. After Lin Feng used lightning to shock him awake, his first reaction was already no longer to open his eyes but instead conditionally wanting to cover his head with his hands.

Unfortunately Xiao Budian had already made preparations, an animal tendon rope had already tied him up like a rice dumpling.

Struggling for a while but still not receiving the customary hammer, Mr. Vulture was dazed for a moment and then almost cried out in tears of joy.

The poor old man, every time he gets woken up he's already knocked unconscious in not even one second. The amount of time he's spent awake after waking up this time was actually more than all of the previous times combined.

Lin Feng looked at this scene in amusement, clearing his throat he asked: "How many people did the House of the Marquis of Xuanji send into the mountains to hunt the Society of the Strong Gale?"

"How many people did the House of the Marquis of Xuanji send into the mountains to hunt the Society of the Strong Gale?"

After spacing out for a moment Mr. Vulture asked hoarsely: "Who are you?" He wanted to turn around and see who it was, but when his body just moved he was firmly stepped on by someone and could only continue facing the dirt.

Lin Feng's voice lightly traveled over: "You don't have the right to ask questions. If you don't want to die than obediently answer my questions."

"You're already pretty old, it's not easy achieving foundation establishment stage, don't you want to continue living and enjoy life?" Lin Feng smiled saying: "The Marquis of Xuanji is not your dad, you're just working for him, there's no need to put your life on the line, right?"

Mr. Vulture was silent for a moment, he said in a low voice: "Including me there are a total of 10 foundation establishment stage cultivators and over 100 qi disciple stage cultivators , Mister Huang San of the house of the Marquis is the head."

Lin Feng asked: "Mr Huang San?"

Mr. Vulture was a bit surprised, Mister Huang San of the house of the Marquis is very famous, how come Lin Feng looks like he's never heard of him?

But right now he's in Lin Feng's hands and doesn't dare to say anything extra, only introducing to him and saying: "Mister Huang San is the third steward of the house of the Marquis, he's always been responsible for the external affairs of the house of the Marquis." After pausing for a moment he added on saying: "Mister Huang San is a great aurous core stage cultivator."

Lin Feng smiled helplessly, the Marquis of Xuanji Zhu Hongwu really does have a lot of swagger, using an aurous core stage cultivator as a steward. Moreover he's also just the third steward, above him there's still two even greater than him.

In principle, this kind of line-up should be able to take down that big monk Hui Ku, but the pretense is that they can't split up their forces and get sniped off by Hui Ku.

Lin Feng like at Mr. Vulture who was on the ground and nodded his head. Keeping him alive to go report to that Mister Huang San really does have its uses.

With an aurous core stage cultivator leading the group, even if Hui Ku has the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation he'll still have to watch out.

Giving the heads up towards Xiao Budian in the distance, the little guy carried the bone mace and swiftly ran over. Lin Feng gave him a look and Xiao Budian immediately walked over behind Mr. Vulture with a smiling face.

Even though Mr. Vulture was lying on the ground and couldn't see the scene behind his head, that familiar feeling of his hairs standing up and his scalp going numb once again appeared in his heart.

"No!"

Right now the bald old man did not have any other thoughts, as long as he isn't knocked unconscious again he's willing to pay any price.

But the progression of events does not changed with his will. Xiao Budian aimed at the back of his head, familiarly bringing the hammer down and once again knocking Mr. Vulture unconscious.

Lin Feng took away Mr. Vultures storage bag and shoved the old man into a stone cave. He then called over Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian and left.

Mr. Vulture is a subordinate of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, his cultivating resources are provided by the house of the Marquis and are very rich.

Lin Feng opened his storage bag. All kinds of panaceas and medicines made his eyes dazzled. He couldn't help but remark in his heart: "Money truly comes quick with one-sided trades."

The storage bag also has a dao technique, it's name is the Blue Oceanic River Technique. It is a water class dao technique and can increase the practitioner's mana density.

Water itself is something which wins in quantity, the denser it is the stronger its power. Cultivators who practice water class dao techniques usually all have denser and more abundant mana than other cultivators of the same level.

This Blue Oceanic River Technique is exactly so. It can increase the density of the practitioner's mana. When the dao technique reaches completeness, the practitioner's mana is like a surging river, boundless and vigorous, a force unstoppable.

Right now Lin Feng is already practicing two dao techniques, the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique and the Art of Acala. The lightning and fire mana cultivated by the two dao techniques are both extremely domineering and fierce, but the speed of consumption is also quick.

Currently Lin Feng's main attack method is the foundation establishment stage weapon the Northern Aurora Sword and it is extremely mana heavy. If Lin Feng can cultivate the Blue Oceanic River Technique, under the circumstances that his level doesn't change, his total mana will have a huge increase which is more convenient for him to control the Northern Aurora Sword.

For Lin Feng, this water class dao technique is undoubtedly a timely rain.

Others who practice a dao technique have to start from the very beginning, but using the hidden attribute of the system Lin Feng can easily finish it.

Feeling in his ten already opened meridian points the surging mana that is at the very least 30% more abundant than usual, Lin Feng smiled in satisfaction.

While circulating the Blue Oceanic Rive Technique, Lin Feng traveled along, very quickly catching up to the people of The Society of the Strong Gale.

Instead of saying caught up, it would be better to say that the people of the Society of the Strong Gale stopped on the spot.

The black-clothed man with a knife scar on his face was standing at the edge of a cliff with an overcast expression on his face, all of the cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale were gathered at his side.

Zhu Yi was being closely guarded by two people and travelling within the forest. His green clothes that had already become blanched from repeated washing had several cuts on it, he looks like a mess but his expression is still calm.

One cultivator of the Society of the Strong Gale couldn't resist saying: "You think that monk was killed? He's always bluffing and looking down on people, now he's shown his true form."

The black-clothed man stroked the scar on his face, calmly saying: "Don't underestimate him, unless the opponent is an aurous core stage cultivator Hui Ku will not have any problems."

"That monk is very skilled, if it wasn't so we wouldn't be thinking about wanting to pull him in."

The cultivator beside him asked: "Then we just wait here?"

The black-clothed man lightly sighed saying: "I'm not waiting for Hui Ku, I'm waiting for those two mates who went to chase that fatty."

"Zhu Hongwu that old dog sent out pursuers so quickly, this means that fatty successfully escaped back and informed them. Right now I just hope those two mates are clever enough to retreat after seeing that things aren't too well." The black-clothed man's brows were in a knot: "But after so many days they still haven't come back to meet up, I'm afraid… Sigh!"

All of the Society of the Strong Gale cultivators fell into silence, the black-clothed man took a deep breath: "The pursuers are already drawing near, we can't wait anymore."

Finishing speaking he took out a strangely shaped spiritual stone from his shirt, flicking his hand and throwing it into the air. Various spell signs altered in his hands, after forming several spell signs large amounts of spiritual energy started to surge according to an intriguing rhythm and beat.

Lin Feng was secretly observing the entire time from far away. Seeing the black-clothed man's actions he instantly took heed.

The spiritual stone flashed a couple of times in the air and then suddenly vanished.

As for the steep mountainside below the cliff, after the light vanished it suddenly lit up with light. A cave entrance had surprisingly appeared on the originally ordinary stone wall.

The instant the cave entrance appeared, Lin Feng sensed a strong spiritual energy from within leak out. This is definitely not a regular mountain cave, it's more like the entrance of a certain blessed cultivation spot.

The black-clothed man's action just now was not to remove a certain illusion hiding the cave entrance, but instead using the spiritual stone as a key and opening the passage towards this blessed cultivation spot.

This place is evidently one of the Society of the Strong Gale's paths of retreat that they'd already gained control of. Right now they have become trapped, thus they decisively used it.

The black-clothed man took the lead and jumped down the cliff, his body sliding into the cave on the mountain wall. The rest of the cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale immediately brought along Zhu Yi, following closely behind him in an orderly fashion and entering into the cave together.

Lin Feng didn't dare tarry, bringing along his two disciples and quickly arriving at the bottom of the cliff. Luckily the cave entrance is still open, it did not reclose after the people of the Society of the Strong Gale entered inside.

Master and disciple entered into the cave. Looking inside of the cave they could faintly see that it is a tunnel. Travelling down the tunnel Lin Feng calculated the distance, the tunnel actually goes deep beneath the ground.

Moving forward, there appeared several forks, numerous tunnels extended in all directions. This cave is actually a complex underground palace.

At the moment Lin Feng was frowning because he suddenly discovered that he actually couldn't sense Zhu Yi's location anymore.

This underground palace has abundant spiritual energy, but also has large amounts of foul energy that was also mixing together with the spiritual energy and appearing exceptionally chaotic.

Under this kind of chaotic environment Lin Feng is unable to resonate with the crystal that he left on Zhu Yi.

At the same time, the system notification sound suddenly rose up beside Lin Feng's ears.

"Host has triggered random side quest, Black Cloud Underground Palace."

Lin Feng was dazed for a moment before reacting over. He's already got a quest on his hands that he still hasn't even completed yet, and this damned system has actually given out a new quest.

Could this also be time-bound or else he'll be killed?

Lin Feng shakingly opened up the quest description.

Random Side Quest, Black Cloud Underground Palace.

Quest Background: The underground palace was originally the cultivation abode of the wandering cultivator Daoist Master Hei Yun. When Daoist Master Hei Yun established his abode he accidently opened up a void space, causing the lowest level of the underground palace to be connected with the Nether Blood River. Daoist Master Hei Yun suffered disaster and died. (TL: 黑云, hei yun, means black cloud.)

Quest Goal: Host obtains Daoist Master Hei Yun's soul-bound magic item the Black Cloud Flag that he lost in the cultivation abode.

Quest Time-Limit: Seven days, quest becomes invalid if it is not completed on time.

"Quest becomes invalid?" Lin Feng blinked his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

The system may be full of crap, but it always screws him over upfront and not secretly behind his back. Since it says there's no penalty if the quest is unfinished when the time limit is reached, then there shouldn't be any danger.

Looking at it now, only the main questline has a death penalty while side quests are a lot better. If completed there's probably a reward, if imcompleted then that's okay too.

Lin Feng's mind started to turn: "Daoist Master Hei Yun, Daoist Master… Then he's an aurous core stage cultivator."

The Heaven Primal world has a couple of common rules, aurous core stage cultivators can be called daoist master and primordial spirit stage cultivators can be called true lord or progenitor.

These titles are all universally acknowledged and are not easily wrong. If a foundation establishment stage cultivator dares to call himself daoist master so-and-so, then that's not even a problem of being laughed at, trouble could very likely come knocking on the door.

But the quest background mentioned that the deepest part of this Black Cloud Underground Palace is actually connected to the Nether Blood River, this instantly made Lin Feng's balls hurt.

Legend says that in the Netherworld there is an endless and boundless Nether Blood River, within it flows tainted blood that is called Absolute Blood River Water.

Absolute Blood River Water is one of the seven great absolute waters of the world and is also a water of uttermost evil and foulness. It is the most foul thing in the world, even the greatest spells and most spiritual magic items, as long as they are stained with the slightest bit they will instantly be polluted and lose their mana.

This cultivation abode's previous owner fell precisely to this blood river, such danger made Lin Feng quite hesitant.

The people of the Society of the Strong Gale are also probably just moving around on the upper level of the underground palace, they still might not know yet that this place harbors a great danger.

"I guess I'll just see as I go, anyhow I've got to go down to find Zhu Yi, at most I just won't go to the deepest part." Lin Feng thought for a moment and then made up his mind. He then said towards his two disciples beside him: "This underground palace is not ordinary, you guys stick close to me and don't run around."

Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian can both see the serious expression on their master's face. Thinking that even their "almighty" master was so serious the two people nodded their heads at once.

Lin Feng waved his sleeves: "Let's go."

Deep in the underground palace, the cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale held on to Zhu Yi and were hastily advancing.

They've already walked out of the tunnel, appearing in front of them is a massive pit. The group of people followed along the edge of the pit and went around, the narrow pathway only allowed one person to advance sideways, looking incredibly dangerous.

The black-clothed man said while walking: "Everybody watch your step, if you fall from here we won't even be able to find your bones."

Amongst the group, Zhu Yi's eyes flashed and he lowered his head.

As if knowing what he was thinking in his heart, the black-clothed man said coldly: "Don't have any ideas, everybody here can crush you like crushing a mosquito."

Zhu Yi was silent.

One cultivator of the Society of the Strong Gale asked: "Head, isn't this place our secret base in the heart of the Zhou Dynasty?"

That black-clothed man said: "This is a cultivation abode an elder master left behind. It's already been abandoned for a long time, spiritual and foul energies exist together so it hasn't been discovered by anyone this entire time, the Society also only just discovered it not too long ago by accident."

"After exploration it was discovered that this place is not suitable for cultivation, but we could set up a transportation formation. Its distance is not far away from the Zhou dogs' capital city Tianjing, so we used this place as a path of retreat to help us retreat after our operation."

Speaking here, the black-clothed man's expression was a bit pale, touching the scar on his face with a lingering fear: "But this underground palace still has a lot of things that we haven't figured out, especially the depths of the underground palace. Not a single one of the mates who went in to investigate returned, they all went missing!"

Speaking here, all of the Society of the Strong Gale cultivators subconsciously glanced at the pitch-black pit beneath their feet. That place is like a bottomless abyss, and also like a monster opening its giant mouth, devouring all who dare to pry.

Zhu Yi's blood also froze from listening, looking at the abyss below his feet his expression was terrified.

Nobody had the mood to talk, in the darkness only the fluorite in their hands released a faint glow that constantly flickered.

The group of people went around the giant pit, in front of them appeared the entrance of another tunnel. Zhu Yi closely observed it, different from the previous tunnels that they passed through, this tunnel is clearly newly dug.

Through this tunnel is the location of the the transportation formation set up by the Society of the Strong Gale. It can shift the space between two fixed locations, but only once. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have any other choice, the black-clothed man really didn't want to use it.

Especially since after their exposure this time, this cultivation abode will definitely be discovered by the Zhou Dynasty. Even if they want to set up another formation it would be impossible.

The black-clothed man shook his head: "Wait here for a bit, if Hui Ku and them still can't catch up then we can only go on ahead first."

"Whether or not other people can catch up is not important, as long as we catch up then it's good."

In the dark space a voice suddenly rose up. The expressions of all of the cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale paled. the next moment they saw a human figure appear in the air, just steadily standing in the air above the abyss like that.

The black-clothed man's heart sank, they were still caught up to.

Wave after wave of powerful mana fluctuations sprang up in the surroundings, right now the hearts of the people of the Society of the Strong Gale sank to the bottom.

Seven, a whole seven foundation establishment stage cultivators have surrounded them.

Amongst them, besides the leading black-clothed man being a foundation establishment stage cultivator, the rest of them are all qi disciple stage. Yet the opposing side has a whole seven foundation establishment stage cultivators, just half of them can take care of them all.

The middle-age man in purple fine clothes at the front laughed saying: "Stay behind all of you." His two hands rising up together, nine rings of light flew out from his palms, heading towards the heads of the cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale.

The rings of light looked to be flying very slowly, when they arrived above their heads they suddenly stopped. Each ring of light released a white pillar of light, beaming on their respective person.

One Society of the Strong Gale cultivator released a loud shout, bringing up a water spell to withstand it and casting a water screen before him, but it did not have any effect, the pillar of light beamed onto his body unhindered.

No changes occurred when the white pillar of light beamed on his body. The Society of the Strong Gale cultivator was dazed, he didn't understand why a foundation establishment stage cultivator would do such a meaningless thing.

But the next moment, the pillar of light suddenly changed from white to red. Being beamed on by the red pillar of light, the eyes of the cultivator of the Society of the Strong Gale instantly went blank, his entire body was completely frozen as if he had been hit with a petrification spell, he couldn't move even a pinky finger.

At this time, the ring of light in the air followed the red pillar of light and landed downwards, slipping onto his neck and then directly carrying away that Society of the Strong Gale cultivator flying upwards, his body uncontrollably flew towards that purple-fine-clothed middle-age man.

The nine rings of light each completed their tasks, capturing alive nine cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale in an instant.

Don't mention fighting back, these Society of the Strong Gale cultivators couldn't even put an end to themselves.

Capturing these nine people, the purple-fine-clothed middle-age man took off the rings of light around their necks, but they still couldn't move. The purple-fine-clothed middle-age man repeated the same steps, waving his hands the nine rings of light then flew towards the remaining cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale.

The black-clothed man released a furious shout and brought out a small drum. The pounding sounds of the small drum rose up, the piercing sound made the six foundation establishment stage cultivators on the other side all involuntarily frown.

The sound of the drum brought up waves of invisible ripples, blocking the nine rings of light in the air making them unable to fly over.

The purple-fine-clothed middle-age man slightly frowned, he said towards the other people: "Friends of the Five Elements Sect, please give a helping hand."

Amongst the remaining six people, five people were wearing apparel of the same style but the colours were all different. They were white, green, black, red and yellow, signifying the five elements metal, wood, fire, water and earth.

The leading yellow-clothed old man let out a dry cough: "No need to be courteous fellow daoist, this is part of our duties."

In an instant, powerful mana fluctuations surged together from the bodies of the five people, filling the entire space.

The black-clothed man's expression slightly changed, he shouted saying: "We the Society of the Strong Gale have operated here for years, how can we allow you guys to run wild here?" Finishing speaking he crushed a jade tablet, the originally chaotic spiritual energy in the underground palace suddenly became calm.

A spell formation flashing with a dazzling spiritual light surfaced in the air, the sound of wind travelled out from the formation.

The next moment, massive tornadoes rushed out from the formation, roaring towards the seven cultivators of the house of the Marquis like angry dragons. (TL: Probably irrelevant, but the Chinese word for tornado, hurricane, twister, etc contains the word dragon.)

A dozen of tornadoes rampaged around, mingling together and turning the cave into a world of storms.

Everything in the path of the tornadoes were all ripped to shreds, on the stone walls they left behind countless deep gashes.

For a while, violent winds howled and the earth split as if it were the end of the world.

This spell formation is enough to rip apart foundation establishment stage cultivators, only those with aurous core stage strength can remain safe.

But those five cultivators of the Five Elements Sect were not nervous. Looking at each other the yellow-clothed old man amongst them laughed saying: "We'll have you see what we can do."

The five people launched their spells together, shouting out together: "Inverse Five Elements Demon Sealing Formation!"

Five-coloured divine light rose up to the skies, instantly illuminating the entire cave, even the pitch-black abyss below became brightened.

Them five people come from the same sect, each of them practises a dao technique of a different attribute. This Inverse Five Elements Demon Sealing Formation the five people work together to set up is enough to suppress all enemies below aurous core stage!

The violent gale was overwhelmed by the five-coloured divine light, being frozen in the air and unable to continue wreaking havoc.

Right now the black-clothed man was soaked in sweat, on one side he has to control the small drum to intercept the purple-fine-clothed middle-age man's rings of light, on the other side he also has to urge the spell formation to confront the enemy's Inverse Five Elements Demon Sealing Formation.

Being attacked on two fronts, even if he has the homeground advantage he's still being heavily suppressed.

Right when he was feeling anxious, a voice unhurriedly rose up: "Why are you guys so slow? Seven against one and you guys still need so much time?"

The next moment, a human figure surfaced in the air, just steadily standing in the air above the abyss like that and looking down on everyone.

Even though he is in the middle of mortal combat with the enemy, the black-clothed man completely ignored those seven foundation establishment stage cultivators. It's not that he doesn't care, but that all of his attention was placed on that person in mid-air.

The person did not reveal even a hint of mana fluctuations, but it's precisely because of this that he is so terrifying. It needs to be known that he is floating in the air using only his own mana, beneath his feet is a bottomless abyss.

That is a middle-aged man, he is white and fat and looks like a ball of kindness when he smiles. He is even fatter than Fatty Zhu who went to look for Zhu Yi's trouble before. After this person appeared, those seven foundation establishment cultivators of the house of the Marquis stopped attacking.

The black-clothed man was still suffering from shock and also did not dare to act rashly.

The fat middle-aged man smilingly looked at Zhu Yi in the crowd of people, saying gently: "Young Master Yi, I'm here to take you home."

Against this middle-aged man here to save him, Zhu Yi's expression was even worse than those of the black-clothed man and co. He tightly clenched his fists and did not say anything.

The black-clothed man took a deep breath: "How do I address you?"

The middle-aged man lightly smiled: "You might have heard of my name before, the name's Huang, people are used to calling me Huang San. (TL: 三, san, means, three, since he's the third steward of the Marquis.)

Fatty Huang San still smiled amiably, but the faces of the cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale had become as pale as death.

Huang San, the third steward under the Marquis of Xuanji Zhu Hongwu and his close confidant. He is specially responsible for dealing with some private matters for the Marquis of Xuanji. He is cruel and merciless and has significant fame, but he keeps a low-profile, very few people have seen his true face, but who would have thought that he is a fat middle-aged man.

Right now the black-clothed man's entire body was as if he'd fallen through ice, because he knows that this fatty in front them who looks like a friendly merchant is an honest to god aurous core stage cultivator!

But the hatred of his fallen country, the vengeance of his people, his pride, his hatred, his anger, all made it impossible for him to submit before this person before him.

The faces of all of the cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale revealed a steadfast expression, even if their bodies slightly trembled from instinctive fear, they still stood shoulder-to-shoulder, facing head-on the powerful foe in front of their eyes who can obliterate them with just one finger.

Huang San let out a long sigh: "Snowgale Country… No, now it's our Zhou Dynasty's Snowgale County. If you ask me, we should kill all of the natives and then immigrate people over from within the Zhou Dynasty, then there wouldn't be any problems." (TL: Genocide, does it work? History says… sometimes.)

The black-clothed man flew into a rage and manipulated the tornado spell formation, in an instant dozens of tornadoes roared out, attacking Huang San from different angles and directions.

Huang San laughed, a pair of eyes squinting to the point that they almost couldn't be seen: "You guys still can't figure out the situation."

Before his voice had even died away, Huang San lifted up his hand slightly, a chilling wind like it had come from the abysmal depths of hell instantly swept through the entire underground palace!

Almost in an instant, this underground palace directly turned into a world of ice and snow. The stone walls were covered in a layer of crystal clear ice, a dazzling radiance flashes when the fluorite shines onto it. The entire space became brightened.

In the time of one breath, the entire underground palace turned into an ice hole.

The raging tornadoes were stopped in their tracks and frozen in pillars of ice. They still maintained their previous state, but looking at them now they were incredibly laughable.

This was just the start, what was frozen in ice was far from just the tornadoes.

Starting from the black-clothed man, a layer of white frost had formed from thin air on the surface of the bodies of all of the Society of the Strong Gale cultivators. In the end they were about to be turned into ice sculptures.

Yet, Zhu Yi who was standing in the middle of them was safe and sound. Not only was he not attacked by the ice, Zhu Yi couldn't even feel a change in the surrounding temperature.

The black-clothed man's expression changed rapidly, biting his teeth he raised his hand and threw out a talisman.

In the air, Huang San's eyes flashed: "An aurous core talisman?" The talisman the black-clothed man threw out was shockingly an aurous core talisman. It is created by an aurous core stage cultivator and its power is the same as the full-powered attack of an aurous core stage cultivator.

The talisman exploded in mid-air, turning into rolling thunder, countless snakes of lightning shot out in all directions, ripping apart Huang San's mana blockade in an instant.

Countless cracks appeared on the surface of the ice, crawling out like spider webs. The dazzling light of the lightning shone on the ice, illuminating the underground palace as if it were the daytime.

Countless pieces of ice broke apart, falling into the abyss below like it was raining. Amongst the calamity, the entire underground palace was like a doomsday where all hell had broken loose.

Even the expressions of those six foundation establishment stage cultivators who came with Huang San paled, doing their best to steady themselves. But they could still be considered calm, their eyes all looked towards the air at the lightning's direct target, Huang San.

Huang San's expression was as usual, he even had the spare time to laugh: "A dying struggle." Lifting up his two palms, at this moment powerful mana revealed its towering presence, the massive space seemed to have frozen, at this moment the surging cold air actually froze the violent lightning!

In the snow-white chilly air, the violently thrashing lightning was like a bound flying dragon, but under the imprisonment of the cold air its movements became more and more stiff.

The cave that seemed like an earthquake was happening before had also calmed down at this moment, the doomsday-like sight had been casually quelled by Huang San.

Huang San smiled saying: "As aurous core stage cultivators, there is still a a separation of high and low."

The cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale became even more frightened, Huang San treats the talisman that possesses the attack of an aurous core stage cultivator as nothing.

The black-clothed man glanced at Zhu Yi, not daring to have any hesitation he grabbed Zhu Yi and directly threw him towards the abyss under their feet. He then charged towards the transportation spell formation in the depths of the tunnel without even turning his head.

Huang San smiled, splitting out a sliver of mana, he was about to catch Zhu Yi who was falling downward, but a strong foul energy suddenly surged up from the bottom of the abyss.

This foul energy was like a slumbering monster that had been suddenly awoken by the previous events.

"Hm?" Huang San's eyes that had already become a slit jerked open, his fat body disappeared on the spot and at the next moment appeared in front of Zhu Yi, at the same time he also came in contact with that foul energy.

Cold air coiled around Huang San's body, a lot of it was eroded by the foul energy, but he still suppressed the foul energy using his powerful mana.

But with this tiny distraction the black-clothed man and the couple of Society of the Strong Gale cultivators had already seized the chance and ran into the tunnel, activating the transportation spell formation.

The smile on Huang San's face vanished, lifting his hand he formed a spell sign. The cold air instantly surged, wanting to freeze even the transportation spell formation.

The black-clothed man could also be considered very resolute, to fight for more time he threw away without any hesitation Zhu Yi whom they had worked hard to capture. But Huang San's cultivation level is too high, even though he first blocked the aurous core talisman and then saved Zhu Yi, in the end he still has the ability to intercept them.

Too bad at the critical moment, that strange cloud of foul energy that rose up from the abyss helped out the black-clothed man. With this moment of delay Huang San was ultimately a step too slow.

The transportation spell formation had already been activated, under the influence of Huang San's mana, the space the spell formation opened up was twisted and crooked, even ripping in half the body of one of the Society of the Strong Gale cultivators, but in the end it did open up a void path, allowing the black-clothed man and the others to escape.

Huang San said with a chuckle: "A couple of rats, though they are pretty slippery, but with my interference it's impossible for you guys to be transported to the predetermined location. You'll be lucky if you don't die in the void turbulence."

Zhu Yi who was being grabbed by him in the hand did not say anything.

Huang San stared at Zhu Yi, his eyes nearly unseeable from smiling: "These couple of little rascals are pretty smart, finding this kind of place with impure spiritual energy. Regular people who enter are completely unable to search this place, but people from small areas have short insight, they don't know that under this kind of environment, aurous core stage cultivators can still locate their targets.

"Thank heavens we didn't let Young Master Yi you fall into the hands of those rebels, or else the Marquis' face would have been completely shamed by you."

The other seven foundation establishment stage cultivators looked at Zhu Yi, their faces all revealing a playful smile like cats playing with a mouse.

Zhu Yi felt helpless in his heart, with just a sweep of his eyes he recognized these cultivators, they are all cultivators attached to the first wife of the Marquis of Xuanji, Lady Shao.

Even Huang San before him, even though he is the Marquis of Xuanji's confidant, he is also Lady Shao's trusted subordinate and regularly acts to deal with some shady matters for Lady Shao.

For example right now, Zhu Yi believes that he definitely doesn't mind conveniently killing him off and then pushing the blame onto those people from the Society of the Strong Gale.

This really is coming out of the lion's den and then entering into the wolf's lair.

Sure enough, Huang San said smilingly: "A living Young Master Yi, no matter what cannot land in the hands of scum and then be used by them to threaten the Marquis. The Marquis naturally will not compromise, but if news spreads then the Marquis' face will also be shamed."

"But, if Young Master Yi is unwilling to make his father the Marquis distressed due to filiality and ends his own life, refusing to yield even in death, then if that spreads out it will instead be a beautiful anecdote, right?"

While speaking, Huang San's beady eyes stared tightly at Zhu Yi, his entire body emitting a dangerous aura.

Zhu Yi instantly felt his heart being clenched by an invisible hand that rubbed vigorously, all of the blood in his body gathered in his heart, wanting to blast apart his heart!

Zhu Yi's pupils gradually dilated, his eyes started to lose their light.

"I… Am I about to die here?"

Zhu Yi's life force was gradually fading away.

Huang San's fat face was still all happy and cheerful, a pair of beady eyes emitting a cruel light. He was in the middle of slowly torturing Zhu Yi when his expression slightly changed and he looked in the direction behind him.

At the exit of a tunnel, there stood a young man in clothes as white as snow and wearing a green bamboo hat.

The young man raised his head, revealing the face beneath the bamboo hat. His face could be considered regular, his skin was extremely white and he had a couple of white spots on his face.

What attracted the most attention on this person's body is the sword at his waist. On the scabbard is carved a decorous and ancient landscape carving.

All of the people on the scene besides Zhu Yi who was already slowly losing his consciousness, when seeing that sword all of their pupils retracted: "A person from the Mt. Shu Sword Sect?"

Even though he was raising his head looking at Huang San who was in the air, his expression was completely condescending. He spread his lips and grinned: "Fatty, have you seen a young daoist wearing a white robe and daoist clothes, he has two children with him?"

The young man's tone of voice was frivolous and rude, even though Huang San still had a smile on his face, his eyes had already become cold.

In front of the Marquis of Xuanji, Huang San is a lackey, but other people do not dare to belittle this close confidant of the Marquis of Xuanji.

Don't mention the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, even in all of the Zhou Dynasty, the majority of people all have to respectfully call him Mister Huang San when facing him.

The couple of foundation establishment stage cultivators especially revealed an expression of discontent. One foundation establishment stage cultivator who hadn't made a move before, thinking that it would be inexcusable if he didn't have any display, wanted to curry favor with Huang San, and so he spoke out reprimanding and saying: "This is Mister Huang San of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, behave yourself or else even the Mt. Shu Sword Sect won't be able to protect you!"

Hearing this, the bamboo hat young man only silently laughed, not even shifting his gaze over.

But the sword at his waist suddenly unsheathed, turning into a flash of cold light and shooting towards the foundation establishment stage cultivator.

Huang San's face darkened: "Impudent!" The boundless cold air condensed, wanting the freeze this bamboo hat young man's sword.

But when the bamboo hat young man's sword aura was about to come in contact with the cold air, it actually suddenly vanished.

Huang San was slightly dazed, the next moment his expression drastically changed, shouting out: "Careful!"

Before that foundation establishment stage cultivator who was being attacked could even react, the sword aura that had originally disappeared suddenly reappeared in front of him only inches away!

The sword aura pierced through his head and then flew back into the bamboo hat young man's scabbard.

At this moment, this foundation establishment stage cultivator finally reacted over. He opened his mouth wanting to speak, but no sounds came out. A bloodstain slowly surfaced between his two brows, suddenly exploding in the next moment, fresh blood sprayed in the air.

"You've got big balls!" Huang San's face was livid, swinging his arm and throwing Zhu Yi to a subordinate. Without the suppression of his mana, Zhu Yi finally regained consciousness, coughing out a big mouthful of congested blood. His face was ghostly pale as if he had been seriously ill.

Yet, right now Huang Yan could no longer attend to him, his fat face was covered in frost: "Cutting apart space, Mt. Shu's Shaoze Sword truly lives up to its reputation, but you threw your weight around in the wrong place. This is the Zhou Dynasty, and the person you killed belongs to the House of the Marquis of Xuanji!"

The bamboo hat young man spread his lips and grinned: "I'm asking you if you've seen a young daoist wearing a white robe and daoist clothes bringing along children."

Huang San laughed from extreme fury: "The Mt. Shu Sword Sect really have become accustomed to arrogance, even daring to killing people from the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, don't think of leaving the Zhou Dynasty alive!"

The bamboo hat youth smiled saying: "Looks like you don't plan on answering my question, then there's no use in leaving you alive either." Finishing speaking, the sword aura once again left the scabbard.

"Seal the world in ice, cover the world in frost!" Huang San laughed angrily, his two hands forming a spell sign. Instantly, wind and snow surged in all of the underground palace, cold air condensed together, the air was a vast expanse of white haziness.

As for the remaining foundation establishment stage cultivators and Zhu Yi, even though Huang San's target wasn't them, just the ripples made them practically about to be frozen stiff.

Not only were their bodies frozen, even their thinking became slow, their minds were unable to keep turning.

This is the indication that even their souls are about to be frozen!

To guard against the enemies flying sword that can flash through the void, Huang San pushed his mana to the limit. Cold air was spread all over the surroundings of his body, no matter where the flying sword appears he can defend against it.

"It's true that Mt. Shu's Shaoze Sword is tricky and unpredictable, but it walks an unconventional path, its direct attack power is insufficient. As an aurous core sword cultivator it's naturally easy for him to kill a foundation establishment stage, but if he wants to fight me then he's got the wrong idea!"

Huang San was in the middle of thinking when the bamboo hat young man's voice travelled over from within the cold air: "The Zhou Dynasty? The Marquis of Xuanji? They are indeed very powerful, but the problem is that you are very weak. Making me unable to leave the Zhou Dynasty alive, Zhu Hongwu can say this, but you can't. Not to mention even Zhu Hong Yu, I will eventually surpass him one day."

The cold air in the underground palace suddenly fluctuated violently, a domineering sword aura of cold steel burst through the encirclement of the cold air, cutting straight towards Huang San.

This beam of sword aura was radiant and dazzling, a cold light flashed on the surface of the sword. Even every beam of light emitted by it was a beam of domineering, unstoppable sword aura.

This sword was as if hundreds of thousands of sword aura gathered together, thousands of swords united as one, sweeping away all obstacles!

Different from the Shaoze Sword that can shift through the void, this sword did not have fancy changes, only strength of the uttermost extreme.

Huang San paled with shock: "It's not the Shaoze Sword but the most fearsome and domineering Shaoshang sword of the Six Meridian Swords of Mt. Shu? He actually has simultaneous mastery of two types of swords?!" In a hurry Huang San condensed his mana, forming a Mystic Ice Shield before him.

This is Huang San's strongest defense technique, even when facing the aurous core talisman before he didn't use it, but right now he's using it without any hesitation.

But everything was futile, against this bamboo hat young man's sky-rending sword, the boundless fog of cold air, dispersed! The Mystic Ice Shield, broke!

Watching the sword aura arrive in front of him, Huang San howled in unresignition: "The ice-age cannot be shaken!"

A layer of ice and snow appeared over Huang San, it was as if his entire body had been frozen into an ice cube, like million-year old ice, hard, rigid and unbreakable! At the same time crystal clear and incredibly ancient and heavy!

But, it was still useless!

In Huang San's terrified gaze, the sword aura completely ignored his defense, cutting into his body like a knife through tofu, and then exploding in his body. Instantly, thousands of sword aura shot out from Huang San's body.

Huang San's fat body was like a burst balloon, bursting apart in the air and turning into a cloud of blood.

The sword aura that exploded outward did not stop, riddling the surrounding frozen stone walls with hundreds of holes and turning them into swiss cheese.

Zhu Yi blankly stared at the bamboo hat young man who put back his sword into his scabbard, the foundation establishment stage cultivators of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji beside him were also completely dumbfounded.

One sword, with just one sword this bamboo hat young man killed Huang San who was also at the aurous core stage.

Huang San still had a lot of cards up his sleeves that he didn't use, he even couldn't blow up his aurous core and was killed by the enemy.

Zhu Yi suddenly had the impulse to laugh, Huang San's line of "As aurous core stage cultivators, there is still a separation of high and low" was still fresh in his ears, yet now he himself has become the best example for this line.

"Wait a sec, a young daoist in white robes and wearing daoist clothes, that's pretty similar to that person I met in the temple that day, could it be…" A thought suddenly appeared in Zhu Yi's heart, he lowered his head not speaking: "I wonder who's stronger, him or this Mt. Shu sword cultivator?"

The bamboo hat young man looked at them, spreading his lips and grinning: "Remember my name, Liu Yan, I will be the person to kill Zhu Hongwu."

Watching the dazed people, Liu Yang pulled down his bamboo hat, turning around and leaving: "Boring, too boring, I think I'll continue looking for that young daoist who humiliated the Blaze Sword Sect."

He licked his lips and chuckled saying: "This person should be right in this underground palace, I hope he can bring me some entertainment."

Lin Feng's current mood was extremely bad.

"Rumble—-" A blood river roared and surged before him, it was dark and gloomy, releasing a nauseating foul smell that assaulted the nose. Just inhaling this smell, Lin Feng could feel the circulation of his own mana become difficult and obscure.

A moment ago, a strong mana shock suddenly exploded within the underground palace, as a result affecting the fluctuations in space. Lin Feng and co. who were on their way got drawn into the spatial rift and were directly transported to the depths of the underground palace.

Luckily the three people were not separated, but Lin Feng never thought they they would actually be transported to the side of the Nether Blood River underground.

Lin Feng stared at this water of utmost evil and foulness of this world with the urge to weep, while on the surface towards his two disciples he still has act like everything is within his control, calmly introducing this Nether Blood River to them and telling them to distance themselves from this water of utmost foulness.

Hearing the dangers of the Nether Blood River, Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian were both pale in the face, closely following behind Lin Feng and avoiding the Blood River like the plague.

While walking Lin Feng pondered: "That Black Cloud Flag magic item may be good, but it's not important. If I obtain it then that's my luck, if not then such is my life. Zhu Yi on the other hand, after spending this much effort I have to get my hands on this disciple."

While thinking, Xiao Budian who was at the side suddenly tugged on Lin Feng's sleeve: "Master, look over there."

Lin Feng came out of his thoughts, looking over following the direction of Xiao Budian's finger. He saw a short-haired man in grey clothes covered in blood, meditating beside the Nether Blood River and looking like a complete mess. It was precisely Monk Hui Ku from before.

Hui Ku had a painful and gloomy expression, a golden buddhist light flickered over his body. On the surface of the buddhist light, green flames and red splatters of blood were intertwined together.

Lin Feng understood what was happening: "This monk, he was somehow tainted with the True Blood River Water and is currently using the buddhist light to protect his body and then using the green flames to expel the tainted blood."

Seeing this scene, a warm smile like the spring sun habitually surfaced on Lin Feng's face.

Looking at Hui Ku who was painstakingly expelling the tainted blood, Lin Feng's face released a dazzling smile.

Relentlessly beating the dog in the water always puts people in a happy mood.

His disciple clearly has the same thoughts as him. Xiao Yan stared at this scene, cracking his knuckles: "This damned baldy, serves him right."

Lin Feng said: "Little Yan, hand your Thundershock Staff over to master."

Xiao Yan took out the Thundershock Staff and followed Lin Feng's words handing it over. Lin Feng grabbed the Thundershock Staff with one hand, his other hand quietly pulling out the golden paper recording the Kṣitigarbha Sutra, silently feeling the mana fluctuations that occasionally pulsated from within these two items.

Before when he refined the Thundershock Staff he already felt an abnormality with the golden paper, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Now after close examination, Lin Feng could confirm that there is a faint resonance between the two items.

Lin Feng thought about it for a moment, a plan already appearing in his heart. He called over his two disciples, still handing the Thundershock Staff over to Xiao Yan and giving the golden paper Xiao Budian.

"Today I'll give you guys an exercise, shortly afterwards master will only hold down the line and will not easily act out." Lin Feng nonchalantly said, Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian looked at each other, simultaneously swallowing their saliva.

Xiao Yan said hesitantly: "Master, are you telling just us two to go face that damned baldy? He may be a dog in the water right now, but at any rate he's still a foundation establishment stage cultivator. Not mentioning any of this, the key point is that magic item of his, 100 of me isn't even enough."

Xiao Budian's eyes turned, looking at the golden paper in his hands: "Master, you have a plan, right?"

Lin Feng felt a bit guilty. A plan is in the end just a plan, moreover it's a plan built upon his speculations, he doesn't dare to promise that it'll work.

But on the surface Lin Feng still maintained the appearance that everything was within his control, even slanting his eyes towards Xiao Yan: "Learn from your junior apprentice-brother, would master let you guys do something without any confidence?"

Xiao Yan twitched his lips not speaking.

Lin Feng grinned saying: "You guys don't need to worry about that monk, the test master is giving to you guys is to break his 24 Heaven Arhat Formation. The things I gave to you guys are the items to break the formation. Shortly afterwards follow my instructions and breaking the formation will be easy as pie."

The two disciples all became energized, cracking their knuckles and staring at Hui Ku who was in the distance. In Tianjing City they were miserably bullied by Hui Ki, if the city patrol squad hadn't arrived, right now they would have already been captured by Hui Ku.

Xiao Yan especially felt retrospective fear. This big monk is even able to lay his hands on the sariras of the elders of his sect, at that time who knows what he would do to him to get the Art of Acala from him.

A while ago he didn't even forget to release a snake to capture him while he was in the middle of an intense fight. If this person doesn't die Xiao Yan's mind will not be at ease.

Lin Feng calculated things for a moment longer, after planning everything out properly he then brought along Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian and walked out.

Hui Ku was in the middle of being painfully tormented by the tainted blood. He could also be considered unfortunate, after finally arriving at the underground palace, he happened upon the transportation of the people of the Society of the Strong Gale not too long after entering. Huang San acted out to obstruct them, in the end messing up the void and causing the space of the entire underground palace to become very chaotic.

The space Hui Ku was transported to was directly above the Nether Blood River, falling straight down towards the surging tainted blood water.

The Great Thunder Monastery is one of the three great holy lands of the past. Even though it's been destroyed now, disciples who originate from there all have extraordinary knowledge. Hui Ku recognized the Nether Blood River at the first moment and moaned in his heart, he didn't even dare to take out the sariras.

In spite of these sariras all being refined from the bones of past great buddhist cultivators, once they are contaminated with the tainted blood they will instantly lose all of their spirituality and become useless items.

After spending an enormous amount of effort Hui Ku managed to not fall directly into the blood river, but his body was still stained with a lot of blood water. The majority of his buddhist mana was instantly tainted and he could only strugglingly hang on.

Whilst using the buddhist light to protect himself to prevent the tainted blood from continuing to contaminate his body, he hastily used the buddhist fire cultivated by the Art of Acala to incinerate and clear the tainted blood, but progress was very slow.

Hui Ku felt agitated in his heart: "If I had the complete Art of Acala and cultivated the true Fury Acala Flames then I could definitely deal with this tainted blood. The Fury Acala Flames may not be one of the seven great absolute flames, but the blood river here is also just a tiny branch of the Nether Blood Sea, it is not the purest Absolute Blood River Water."

"Buddha oh Buddha, I devote myself to the buddhist ways, why have I suffered such a disaster? Could it be that Buddha is also blaming me for refining the sariras of my elders?" Hui Ku roared in his heart: "Buddha would not, the reason I did so is also to spread the glory of Buddhism, even if those elders cannot forgive me Buddha will definitely understand me!"

Thinking of the Thundershock Staff that he lost and the spiritual python that he worked hard to raise for so many years being killed in the end, Hui Ku became even more furious. He swore in his heart to capture Xiao Yan and turn into ashes the person who killed his spiritual pet and robbed his magic item.

Hui Ku was in the middle of sulking when a young daoist in white robes wearing daoist clothes suddenly appeared before him. Afterwards, Hui Ku saw Xiao Yan who was behind that young daoist.

Lin Feng looked at Hui Ku who was staring at him in anger, saying blandly: "What are you looking at you big monk? It was destined for you to suffer today's tribulation when you troubled my disciple that day."

Hui Ku let out a snort: "You are that kid's master, his Art of Acala was taught by you? This is the secret dao technique of the Great Thunder Monastery, from where did you learn it? Quickly return it to me or else don't blame me for what happens next!"

Lin Feng slowly shook his head: "You are indeed a discourteous monk, it is time to teach you a lesson today,"

Hui Ku's face was cloudy, because he discovered that he could not see through Lin Feng's cultivation level. Based on Hui Ku's knowledge, this means that Lin Feng's level is even above his.

His thoughts reaching here, Hui Ku did not dare to be negligent, shouting out in a low voice: "You daoist, I will send you back into the cycle of reincarnation right now!" He released his trump card at the get go, whipping his hands and throwing out 24 sariras which shone brightly in this dark and gloomy underworld.

"24 Heaven Arhat Formation, open!"

Where buddhist light flashed, buddhist chanting could be heard without end and the fragrance of sandalwood permeated the air. At the side of the Nether Blood River, buddhist light covered the surrounding 330 meter radius, enveloping Lin Feng and co. along with Hui Ku within it.

In the buddhist light human shadows overlapped, 24 golden arhats over 10 feet tall slowly walked out, appearing in the vision of Lin Feng and co.

The powerful mana of 24 foundation establishment stage cultivators is truly as deep as the sea, pressuring over together it made Lin Feng virtually have the impulse to raise his hands and surrender.

Lin Feng did his best to pull himself together, looking towards his two disciples beside him while still maintaining a calm look: "You guys are up."

Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian nodded their heads together, charging into the buddhist light. With the protection of the Thundershock Staff and the golden paper, the mental pressure brought by the golden arhats had little effect on them.

Seeing this, Lin Feng knew that his guess was most likely correct.

Between magic items of buddhist dao techniques, even if they are not of the same type a lot of them will resonate with each other. To a certain degree this can achieve the effect of cancelling each other out.

Especially those 24 golden arhats, they actually don't have their own thoughts. They are only acting based on their instincts under the control of Hui Ku, but right now Hui Ku is occupied with defending against the contamination of the tainted blood and this spell formation actually has a trend of treating Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian as part of itself.

Even though Hui Ku was concentrating on withstanding the contamination of the tainted blood, he still gave a command to the golden arhats. Instantly, 24 ten-foot tall giants rushed towards Lin Feng in large strides. Not mentioning that they all possess the mana levels of foundation establishment stage cultivators, just their height and bulk was enough to make people scared.

One golden arhat arrived first, his large hand directly shadowing over Lin Feng's head. Vigorous mana pressed downward, Lin Feng felt like the space around him had been completely sealed and that even the air had become frozen.

A strong wind rushed at his face, but not even a speck of the dust on the ground could fly upwards, everything was being tightly suppressed.

Lin Feng inhaled a deep breath, his two feet stepping on the ground and all of his mana rapidly circulating through his body. The dao technique he was using was neither the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique nor the Art of Acala and was especially not the Blue Oceanic River Technique.

The dao technique Lin Feng was using was precisely the Kṣitigarbha Sutra that originally should have belonged to Zhu Yi.

He didn't even pass over the Blue Oceanic River Technique, of course he wouldn't let go of this first-class buddhist dao technique on the same level as the Art of Acala.

Even though he has not successfully cultivated the peerless ability of the Gilded Kṣitigarbha Body , right now Lin Feng has already obtained a bit of the essence of "tolerant and still as the earth and silent and deep as a scripture".

Right now Lin Feng was like the vast and boundless earth, silently bearing all within the world, no matter how wild, overbearing and arrogant you are, I stand erect and unshakable!

The golden arhat's movements noticeably slowed-down for a moment. He is made from a great buddhist cultivator's sarira, even though he no longer possesses thought and doesn't have a consciousness, some scattered memories rooted deep in his soul still exist.

He sensed this his attack target seemed to be a fellow buddhist, this made him very resistant.

Hui Ku also sensed it within his heart, instantly becoming stunned: "This.. this is the Kṣitigarbha Sutra! Why does a daoist know so many of our Great Thunder Monastery's secret dao techniques? Could it be that he is actually also a Buddhist follower and pretending to dress as a daoist to fool people's eyes?"

While he was in the middle of being confused, another response travelled over, someone was attempting to collect one of the sariras acting as one of the eyes of the formation. (TL: Does that make sense to you guys, the eye of the formation?)

Hui Ku instantly flew into a rage: "Two little bastards, you guys have some big balls!"

Report chapter

Hui Ku manipulated the golden arhat to attack Lin Feng. Responding using the Kṣitigarbha Sutra Lin Feng temporarily withstood the attack of the golden arhat.

Even though he was surprised about Lin Feng actually knowing the Kṣitigarbha Sutra, Hui Ku's hanging heart was put greatly at ease because he sensed that Lin Feng's force of resistance was not strong. Don't mention aurous core stage, he wasn't even foundation establishment stage.

Hui Ku laughed coldly: "With just this bit of skill you think you have the rights to parade around in front of me? If I'd known earlier that you were just a complete sham I could send you back into the cycle of reincarnation even without using the spell formation."

Lin Feng glanced at him, his tone of voice indifferent and saying: "You are nothing but the frog at the bottom of the well, guarding the bones of your predecessors and talking nonsense here." (TL: The frog at the bottom of the well, the frog looks up from the well, sees the limited view of the sky from the well and thinks that the world is all that it sees, I think you guys get the rest.)

Hui Ku's expression turned blue: "Damned daoist, do you dare to say that again?"

Lin Feng calmly shook his head: "This spell formation is the source of your arrogance? Today I will eradicate this illusion of yours and have you recognize your true colours."

Hui Ku laughed from extreme anger: "I'll squash you to death before that, you can block one arhat, but…"

Bringing his two hands together, Hui Ku's tone of voice was dark: "… But, can you still block 24?" Under the spur of his thoughts, the 24 golden arhats surrounded Lin Feng together. Every arhat is dozens of meters tall, when they came up together it instantly created a type of pressure that blotted out the sky and wanted to destroy everything.

Hui Ku stared at Lin Feng and said word by word: "Today I will send you to the underworld, the Art of Acala and the Kṣitigarbha Sutra, you've got to obediently spit it all out for me. These are all secret techniques of the Great Thunder Monastery, how can I allow a demonspawn such as yourself to make it your own!"

Lin Feng lifted his head with a leisurely expression and looked at the golden arhats who surrounded him. In terms of height and body size, it was like he had arrived at the land of the giants.

"Nothing but a tiny spell formation, I don't even need to personally do anything, my two disciples are more than sufficient."

Hui Ku was stunned for a moment, suddenly he sensed that within the formation there was someone attempting to collect one of the sariras acting as the eye of the formation. Hui Ku instantly flew into a rage: "Two little bastards, you've got big balls!"

After Lin Feng attracted the majority of Hui Ku's attention, Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian were neglected by the big monk.

From Hui Ku's point of view, one of them is qi disciple level six, the other is qi disciple level 7, just the oppression the buddhist light formation has on the mind is enough to make the two little guys collapse.

But the Thundershock Staff and golden paper came into play. Not only did they help the two people withstand the pressure from the formation, they even made the formation develop a misjudgement and mistaken them as one of its own.

"Over here!" Xiao Yan took the lead and walked over to a corner of the spell formation. Beneath the cloud of light-golden mist, a dot of light shone on the ground, looking closely it was precisely a sarira.

Xiao Budian cheered aloud: "Just as master said." Before taking action, Lin Feng already told them that this 24 Heaven Arhat Formation is aboveboard and straightforward, it only has the effects of trapping and killing the enemy, the spell formation itself does not possess any deceptive properties.

When Hui Ku sets up the formation he spreads the sariras. After the sariras land on the ground according to a certain pattern, their position does not change. Once you remember the locations of these sariras, you will be able to find them after entering the spell formation.

It's just that this spell formation's attack strength is too powerful, materializing 24 golden arhats who all possess the strength of foundation establishment stage cultivators. Once the enemy enters the formation they will be surrounded and attacked, they simply don't have the energy to search for and destroy the sariras acting as the eye of the formation.

Right now Lin Feng has attracted the attention of the spell formation and Hui Ku, Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian instantly found the opportunity to go look for the sariras.

The sariras do not stay unmoving when they land on the ground, instead they embed themselves deep into the earth, emitting a faint golden glow and dyeing the surrounding ground in gold.

Xiao Yan lifted his leg and stomped on the golden ground, releasing a low grunt. Based on the counter force, this golden ground is even harder than steel, clearly it has been affected by the mana within the sarira.

Senior and junior apprentice-brother looked at each other, Xiao Yan nodded his head: "Do it, I'll protect you."

Xiao Budian took out the golden paper and approached the sarira. When he just got close, the sarira instantly released a wave of buddhist chanting, as if a warning.

"Oh man, this is something good." Xiao Budian was delighted, revealing two shiny little canine teeth. He shook the golden paper in his hands and placed it over the sarira.

Upon contact contact with the sarira, the sarira instantly calmed down, but Xiao Budian's following movements were pretty rough. Spreading his fingers he clawed at the ground, forcefully digging out a hole in the ground.

Xiao Budian's two hands applied strength together, digging out a piece of earth like pulling out a carrot.

Hitting it with his hand, the earth that was still as hard as steel and emitting a faint golden flow was instantly destroyed by Xiao Budian, only leaving behind the perfectly intact sarira quietly landing in the middle of the golden paper.

Seeing this scene Xiao Yan's lips twitched. The entire process was like a harmless looking man using the most gentle, most polite and most harmless method to trick a chick into drinking a spiked drink. After knocking her out he then immediately revealed his true colours and forcefully executed the girl on the spot. (TL: I'll just leave it at that, interpret it however you want.)

"You guys have big balls!" Hui Ku's furious cries travelled into their ears, afterwards a giant golden arhat suddenly charged to the front of them, his fist punching straight down towards Xiao Budian's head.

Xiao Yan came back to his senses, immediately using the method Lin Feng taught him, bringing up the Thundershock Staff and attacking the golden arhat.

When the golden arhat's fist came in contact with the Thundershock Staff, a wave of dazzling buddhist light burst forth from the Thundershock Staff. In the circulation of the buddhist light the golden arhat's movements instantly slowed down, retracting half of the strength that he released.

The remaining half of his strength was unable to do anything about the Thundershock Staff. The powerful defense ability exhibited by this buddhist magic item directly lead astray the fist the size of a house.

At this time Xiao Budian had already completely wrapped the sarira in the golden paper. The golden paper isolated the sarira's buddhist light causing the mana within the sarira to be sealed off, not the slightest bit of it could leak out.

Hui Ku was dumbfounded, this 24 Heaven Arhat Formation of his is incredibly powerful. If you had to speak of its weaknesses, besides the spell formation's position being immovable, it is that as the eyes of the formation, the 24 sariras are all indispensable.

As long as one sarira is missing the spell formation will collapse.

The Buddhist chanting vanished from the ears and the sandalwood fragrance slowly dispersed, the light-golden cloud of light also scattered and disappeared.

The 24 Heaven Arhat Formation that once beat the snot out of Mr. Vulture and co. these three foundation establishment stage cultivators was officially broken!

Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian were a bit dazed. They didn't think that things would actually be just as Lin Feng said and that they would so easily break the formation.

Lin Feng on the other hand secretly breathed out a sigh of relief, his two disciples didn't know that he was actually walking on tightropes again, it's just that this time he once again successfully walked across.

His success could not do without numerous calculations and a large amount of luck.

Firstly, Hui Ku himself was pinned down by the tainted blood, a lot of his attention was placed on clearing up the tainted blood and he didn't have a lot of energy to control the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation. Otherwise, he would have been able to discover Xiao Yan's and Xiao Budian's little movements at the first moment and stop them on time.

Secondly, due to the hidden benefit of the system, Hui Ku was unable to see through Lin Feng's true cultivation level and thus subconsciously treated him as a formidable enemy. Not mentioning that he attracted all of Hui Ku's attention, Hui Ku also did not dare to launch a full-out assault at the beginning and only used one golden arhat to test him. This allowed Lin Feng to successfully pass by this most important first attack wave and win time for Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian.

And then, just as Lin Feng suspected, it is indeed easy for buddhist magic items like the Thundershock Staff and golden paper to resonate with each other. Under the circumstance that Hui Ku this manipulator did not interfere, they successfully withstood the attacks of the spell formation and collected the sarira.

Lastly and most importantly is still that Hui Ku was being attacked by the tainted blood and his own strength was greatly reduced. Otherwise, even if they broke his formation, with Hui Ku's foundation establishment stage level Lin Feng still wouldn't be his match.

These are all elements towards Lin Feng's victory, if any of them were missing, the plan would not have been able to be completed.

Of course, if any of these elements were missing Lin Feng would definitely continue to patiently wait for an opportunity and would not actively seek out Hui Ku.

If he dares to make a move then he has the confidence to succeed!

Lin Feng turned his head and said towards Xiao Budian and Xiao Yan: "Collect the other sariras too."

Xiao Budian instantly ran around in joy, going around everywhere and practically treating this place like his own vegetable garden, continuing the happy task of "harvesting carrots". He rapidly collected the remaining 24 sariras and handed them over to Lin Feng together with the first one.

Seeing his lifeblood fall in Lin Feng's hands, Hui Ku's eyes gradually turned blood-red. He released a wild cry: "Damned daoist!" Under his extreme fury his own mana instantly became unstable, the green fire was unable to suppress the tainted blood and his buddhist light barrier was instantly breached by the tainted blood.

Lin Feng stared at Hui Ku whose entire body was stained with the tainted blood and secretly made a scissorhand. The reason he had Xiao Budian collect the other sariras was to purposely anger Hui Ku. If this big monk is directly dissolved by the tainted blood then that would be the best.

But it was destined for Hui Ku to disappoint him. This feverish big monk suddenly calmed down, retracting all of the mana protecting his body and letting the tainted blood spread across his entire body, wildly contaminating and eroding the mana that he painstakingly cultivated for so many years. But Hui Ku was unmoved by it, only coldly staring at Lin Feng.

At this moment, the sentiments of madness, irritation and anger all disappeared from Hui Ku, only cold murderous intent remained in his eyes.

Lin Feng called out crap in his heart, sure enough Hui Ku said coldly: "I am destined to fall into hell, but before I go I will drag you this spawn of evil down with me!"

The next moment, alarming mana fluctuations burst forth from Hui Ku's body. A miniature black hole actually appeared above his head, everything around the black hole was sucked within it.

Countless amounts of dust and gravel, even the tainted blood in the Nether Blood River beside Hui Ku all flew into the air and towards the black hole.

Under the huge suction even Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian were unable to stand on the ground. Their feet left the ground and they were actually about to be directly sucked into the black hole.

Hui Ku roared wildly: "Demonspawn, take my final attack, Bliss of Samsara! Let us enter into the gates of reincarnation and go down to hell together…"

Before he finished speaking, a beam of pure-white lightning of peerless radiance and unmatched violence had already arrived before him, turning into a cloud of blood Hui Ku who had already exhausted all of his mana.

Northern Aurora Mystic Light!

Lin Feng extended his right arm, his fingers making a gun-shot movement, he then pulled it to his lips and lightly blew: "I was waiting for you, damned baldy!"

Hui Ku lost the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation and was also being attacked by the most evil and foul tainted blood in the world. Under his extreme fury he actually took the approach of taking everybody down with him, using the buddhist secret technique Bliss of Samsara and wanting drag Lin Feng down with him.

Lin Feng was already on guard, he was paying attention to Hui Ku's movements the whole time. Seeing this big monk actually disregard the attack of the tainted blood and retract his protective mana, he immediately knew that shit was about to hit the fan.

The Northern Aurora Sword immediately came out and before Hui Ku's spell could be fully unleashed, an arc of overpowering lightning struck this big monk to death a step ahead.

Hui Ku had died and the black hole above his head instantly went out of control, becoming chaotic.

Lin Feng sensed the spiritual energy in the underground palace suddenly fall into disorder, his expression couldn't help but slightly pale and he shouted towards his two disciples: "Be careful."

Before his voice had even died away, the black hole suddenly exploded, mixing together with the tainted spiritual energy in the underground palace and actually creating an effect similar to a transportation spell formation, shifting space.

Under the effect of the void turbulence, Lin Feng's head became groggy, a strong light flickered before his eyes and the scenery around him constantly changed.

In just one second of time, the scenery in Lin Feng's vision had already changed a number of times.

As if an incredibly long period of time had passed by, but in actuality it had only been a couple of seconds, Lin Feng who was dizzy in the head heavily fell to the ground.

Lin Feng shook his head, only after a long while did his head become clear. Lifting his head and looking around, he discovered that he was inside a tunnel. He didn't know how far he was transported, but he could not hear the roaring and surging of the Nether Blood River, presumably he's been transported a long distance.

His two disciples also aren't by his side, looks like they were sent to a different place in the void turbulence.

Lin Feng laughed helplessly: "Now there's trouble."

But it's not like everything was bad.

Lin Feng weighted the storage bag in his hand, his face revealing a smile. In the chaos he nimbly grabbed Hui Ku's storage bag, that big monk's stash has now all become his spoils of victory.

Of course, the most important loot is still those 24 sariras.

Lin Feng found the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation's formation diagram within Hui Ku's storage bag. It was a thick book with a lot illustrations, the illustrations on the first few pages have many alterations. Presumably Hui Ku himself also regularly thought about how to polish the formation and was constantly improving the formation for it to have its current power.

This formation diagram matched with the 24 sariras can set up the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation.

But it requires Lin Feng to refine these sariras, he has to get rid of Hui Ku's mana markings within them and add in his own for him to be able to have perfect command of them.

Besides the formation diagram, the storage bag also has the Art of Acala that Hui Ku practised. Lin Feng took a look at it, sure enough it was the entire scripture minus the general outline at the beginning.

Lin Feng laughed. The upper-half of the scripture he already has and the part of Hui Ku's here is a complete version of the Art of Acala.

As for the other things like cultivation pills and such, even though they are what Lin Feng needs, there wasn't anything particularly good.

After all the Great Thunder Monastery has already been destroyed for 20 years, even if Hui Ku brought out some valuable pills from the monastery he would have already eaten them.

The only thing worth noting was that Hui Ku actually had two pill recipes.

One is the Greater Thunder Revival Pill, it is the Great Thunder Monastery's world famous healing panacea, it has a miraculous effect in healing the damaged body, reviving the dead and regenerating bones.

While the other one made Lin Feng's mouth water, the Barrier Breaking Pill. It's designed to help cultivators overcome their cultivation bottlenecks and the bottleneck of a minor stage. After using the Barrier Breaking Pill one will immediately advance to the next minor stage. Using this pill can also greatly enhance the success rate of advancing to foundation establishment from qi disciple or to aurous core from foundation establishment.

But the materials required to create these two pills are all very rare and the success rate is not high.

Lin Feng himself, one doesn't know alchemy and two doesn't have materials, he can only give them a wistful look.

"I'll put them away first, later I'll give them to Xiao Yan that kid to slowly figure things out. The system says that he has a gift for alchemy, presumably it's not a lie." Lin Feng put away the pill recipes: "I've got to hurry up and find a way out first and meet up with those two little guys and then go look for Zhu Yi."

"Zhu Yi, sigh, wonder how that kid's doing."

Lin Feng didn't think that a bullshit matter like a spatial shift could actually happen in the underground palace, in the end right now he still hasn't gotten his third disciple yet and has instead even become separated from the two he already has.

The fuck, could it be working hard for 50 years and then returning to before the liberation in a night? (TL: Everything for naught.)

"How can I leave this place?" Lin Feng was troubled in his heart when the system notification sound suddenly rose up in his mind: "Host has gotten close to the side quest item, the Black Cloud Flag!"

Are you kidding?

Lin Feng was stunned, this really is a serendipitous accident. Before he didn't even give the side quest any thought, who knew that two consecutive spatial transportations in the underground palace actually sent him in front of the Black Cloud Flag.

"This Black Cloud Flag is Daoist Master Hei Yun's soul-bound magic item, Daoist Master Hei Yun is also the person who created the Black Cloud Underground Palace…" A thought suddenly appeared in his heart and he hastily rechecked the quest.

Due to Lin Feng already being near the Black Cloud Flag right now, the quest description has also added a description of the Black Cloud Flag.

Black Cloud Flag, Daoist Master Hei Yun's soul-bound magic item, refined using Daoist Master Hei Yun's famous spell "Great Heavens Shift". It can shift through space within a short distance, combining attack and defense in one. It can also carry people to fly and has endless uses.

Lin Feng's eyes lit up: "So that's how it is, the reason there's so many sudden spatial shifts in this underground palace is probably related to this Black Cloud Flag. If I can obtain the Black Cloud Flag then leaving this underground palace will definitely be as easy as pie and it might also be able to help me find those three little guys."

Even though he had the way out, Lin Feng was even more careful. The Black Cloud Flag is nearby which means that the Nether Blood River is also nearby, moreover it's also the source of the Nether Blood River in this underground palace.

Sure enough, after Lin Feng continued walking forward for a while he heard the surging sound of water travel over from the distance.

After taking a couple of turns, the tunnel reached its end. Exiting the tunnel, what appeared in front of Lin Feng was a giant underground lake.

But within this lake is not water but Absolute Blood River Water, the foul, nauseating smell that assailed the nose rushed at his face, virtually knocking Lin Feng unconscious.

In the air above the lake there was a pitch-black fissure, that is the spatial rift.

Space is like drawing paper, everything else is scenery in the drawing, and this fissure is like a hole that was ripped in the drawing paper.

From the fissure, foul tainted blood constantly flowed out from it, landing in the lake below like a waterfall.

Above the lake permeated this thick, dark red blood aura.

Standing there and having yet to truly come in contact with the tainted blood, Lin Feng could already feel his mana stagnate, just that thick blood aura could virtually already taint Lin Feng's mana.

Lin Feng looked towards the blood lake beneath his feet, thinking that there is a passageway beneath the blood lake and that the source of the Nether Blood River he saw when he encountered Hui Ku should be this place. It's just that he doesn't know to where that blood river flows?

The system notification rose up once again. This time it directly pointed out to Lin Feng the location of the Black Cloud Flag. Lin Feng pulled himself together and prepared to first collect this magic item and then think about his next step.

"So bored!"

"Crash!"

Lin Feng was just about to go collect the Black Cloud Flag when an unexpected voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.

Closely afterwards there was also the sound of jadeware smashing on the ground.

Lin Feng was startled, there was actually someone here and he was completely unaware of it before.

Following the sound and looking over, he saw a white-clothed young man wearing a green bamboo hat on his head leaning against a giant rock and holding an intricate white jade cup. The expression on his face was looking at Lin Feng with a faint smile.

Lin Feng's pupils retracted, not far away from the bamboo hat young man was a pile of white jade fragments piled up on the ground like a tiny mountain.

Between the crystal clear fragments there was also a decent amount of crimson red wine silently flowing, looking at it it actually looked a bit similar to the tainted blood in the Nether Blood River.

The bamboo hat young man raised the white jade cup in his hand, he only took a sip of the delicious grape wine in the cup and then smacked his lips, sighing towards the sky: "It's so boring!"

"Crash!"

Before his voice had faded away, the white jade cup along with the wine in the cup fell to the ground together, becoming a member of that pile of broken fragments.

The corner of Lin Feng's eyes twitched. Right now this pile of pure white jade fragments and the wine that flowed between it was like a massive mountain in his eyes.

A mountain built from fresh gurgling blood and grim white bones.

The bamboo hat young man flipped his palm, an identical jade white cup appeared in his palm and the cup was already filled with wine.

He shook the wine cup in his hand, twisting his head and looking towards Lin Feng. He spread his lips and grinned, a couple of white spots on his face jumped together.

"Looking at your appearance, you are that daoist who gave the Blaze Sword Sect a bad time? You don't look like much."

This bamboo hat young man's body was emitting an aura that Lin Feng felt was extremely dangerous, at the bottom of his heart heart there was a voice that yelled without stop.

"Run! Run! Run!"

This was entirely a biological instinct, an instinctual warning when encountering something that may cause himself to die.

Lin Feng had to constantly constrain himself to ensure that his body stood on the spot unmoving and not immediately turning around to run.

The bamboo hat young man's completely unmasked mana fluctuations told Lin Feng that the person he is facing is an aurous core stage cultivator.

Moreover it's an aurous core stage cultivator even more powerful that Blaze Sword Sect's Elder Li that he met before.

Lin Feng laughed helplessly in his heart: "Even though I act like an expert in front of my disciples, that's because I have no choice. In the end I'm still just a qi disciple stage small fry. Don't keep sending this kind of aurous core stage opponent over, I really can't afford it!"

The flying swords of Mt. Shu Sword Sect disciples are all different, but the carvings on their scabbards are all the same landscape design. It is the same as the Blaze Sword Sect's flame robes and is a token of identity known by the world.

Lin Feng naturally also recognized it at a glance, thinking in consolement: "Yan Mingyue, Hui Ku plus this guy in front of me, who'd have thought that in a few short months of time I encountered one of each of the disciples of the three great holy lands."

Even though his calves were already spasming a bit, Lin Feng still secretly held the sarira in his palms, preparing at any time to fight for his life. Wanting him to fold his arms and await death is not possible.

Liu Yang downed all of the wine in the white jade cup and jumped up from the giant rock. He tilted his head looking at Lin Feng: "Didn't they say you're also with a little kid, where is he?"

Originally Lin Feng was prepared to launch the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation, but upon hearing Liu Yang's question a thought suddenly appeared in his heart and he had an even better idea.

After calculating the details in his heart and feeling that there weren't any major holes, Lin Feng started his performance.

"Little kid, what little kid?" Lin Feng revealed a humble expression of reverence, his face puzzled.

Liu Yang frowned: "Stop your charade, I'm talking about that 3 to 4 year old child you had with you when you were fighting with the people of the Blaze Sword Sect."

Lin Feng's expression was astounded: "I may have little experience, but I've still heard of the name of the Blaze Sword Sect. It is a member of the Nine Heavens Sword Alliance and is one of the several well-known sword sect, how would a small wandering cultivator like me dare to provoke them?"

Hearing this Liu Yan suspiciously examined him: "But this is the right clothing, there's no mistake."

Lin Feng laughed helplessly: "I am only a qi disciple level 10 cultivator, how would I have the balls to provoke the Blaze Sword Sect?" While speaking Lin Feng released his own mana fluctuating, opening his hands and using his mana to crush a rock.

Liu Yang naturally doesn't care about this level of mana, but he can clearly determine the depths of Lin Feng's cultivation level.

But he was still puzzled in his heart: "If you don't do anything then I actually can't see through your cultivation level?"

Lin Feng produced a forced smile saying: "I inadvertently obtained a small item than can hide my cultivation level." He swallowed his saliva, taking out a ribbon and handing it over to Liu Yan with a fearful and ingratiating smile: "Please take a look."

The ribbon was just a regular item, but after Lin Feng took out the ribbon he actively released his own mana, causing Liu Yan to think that the reason he couldn't see through his level was indeed because of the ribbon.

Liu Yang took over the ribbon but couldn't sense any spell formations operating within. He tried it out himself and was also unable to hide his cultivation level. He suspiciously looked towards Lin Feng, but right now Lin Feng no longer had any secrets in front of him, he was clearly at qi disciple level 10.

"Why does it have no effect when I use it?" Liu Yang asked.

"Maybe it's because my level is low." Lin Feng said in embarrassment: "It's just a small trick, it's not worth your time oh great immortal of the Mt. Shu Sword Sect."

Liu Yang smiled: "You know I'm from the Mt. Shu Sword Sect?"

Lin Feng's cast a glance towards the scabbard at Liu Yang's waist, saying with a smile: "The Mt. Shu Sword Sect, the number 1 holy land in the world of the way of the sword, it's name reverberates like thunder. No matter how ignorant I am I naturally also know of it."

Liu Yang curled his lips, completely losing interest in Lin Feng: "Boring." He paused for a moment and then asked: "Have you seen a young daoist dressed just like you with a 3 to 4 year old child in this underground palace?"

Lin Feng blankly shook his head. Liu Yang then asked: "Then what did you come to this underground palace for?"

"I.. I came out to hone myself and accidently entered this underground palace." Lin Feng answered a bit sheepishly.

Liu Yang laughed coldly, boundless killing interest spread outward, prickling Lin Feng and making him tremble.

"Calm your anger please, calm your anger." Lin Feng hurriedly said: "I… In truth I heard that there is a treasure at the bottom of this underground palace, so I came to try my luck and see if I was lucky."

"Treasure?" Liu Yan was a bit surprised: "What treasure?"

Lin Feng answered honestly: "Legends say that 1000 years ago this place was the wandering cultivator Daoist Master Hei Yun's cultivation abode. After Daoist Master Hei Yun perished in the blood river his soul-bound magic item the Black Cloud Flag still remained in this cultivation abode."

Liu Yang curled his lips: "Daoist Master Hei Yun? Never heard of him, he seems to be an aurous core stage cultivator? An aurous core stage magic item, it's not a big deal."

Lin Feng smiled apologetically: "You have great power, naturally you do not care about it. But I heard that this Black Cloud Flag has the effect to shift through the void, presumably it is very rare thus I came to try my luck."

"Shift through the void?" Liu Yang became interested. Spells and magic items that can shift through the void are all very rare and have endless uses, even he felt moved about it.

Liu Yang attentively sensed the surroundings for a moment and then frowned saying: "I can't sense that there is a treasure here."

Lin Feng secretly glanced at the blood lake at the side and stammered about unable to speak.

Liu Yang noticed his movement and laughed: "It's in this Nether Blood River? Separated by the Absolute Blood Water, it is indeed not easy for my mana to probe it, but…"

He slanted his eyes and looked at Lin Feng with a faint smile: "How do I know you're not tricking me? How about this, you go down first to find it for me."

"I originally had intentions of seeking treasure, but when I found out that the treasure was actually within the Nether Blood River I fell into a dilemma. I am unwilling to leave but I also don't dare to go down." Lin Feng hurriedly shook his head: "With my insignificant cultivation level how can I bear the erosion of the tainted blood in the Nether Blood River? I'll turn into pulp in a mere matter of seconds."

His face was filled with terror, looking at the Nether Blood River below like avoiding the plague.

Seemingly to distance himself as far as possible from the tainted blood, Lin Feng climbed on top of a stone beam protruding from the cliff above the blood lake, looking at the turbulent Nether Blood River below him with a face of horror.

Liu Yang laughed loudly: "This Absolute Blood River Water is the most evil and foulest thing in the world and can taint all mana and magic items. It is indeed very sinister, but it cannot trouble me!"

"Even if the treasure really is below the Nether Blood River it doesn't matter, instead it can make me not that bored, but…" Liu Yang looked towards Lin Feng with a cold laugh: "There better really be a treasure below here or else I'll make you regret coming out of your mother's womb!"

On the surface Lin Feng revealed an expression of heartfelt admiration: "Only the capable can obtain treasures, you obtaining the treasure is the true mandate of heaven. That I can watch at the side is already my greatest fortune!"

Liu Yang laughed complacently, Lin Feng smiled with him at the side while laughing coldly in his heart: "I am watching at the side, but I'm watching how you die!"

In the sound of laughter, Liu Yang waved his hands and nine blood-red banners flew out.

Lin Feng's eyes watched those nine blood-red banners fly into the air and then land above the blood lake.

The blood-red banners and the tainted blood in the blood lake were actually calling and responding to each other.

The tainted blood in the blood lake slowly rose and fell like it was alive, exhaling and inhaling and harboring a fascinating rhythm.

And in the air those blood-red banners flapped in the air without any wind, swirling and fluttering. Their rhythm was actually in unison with the tainted blood in the lake, both sides resonated with each other and they pulsated even more strongly and clearly.

"These nine blood-red banners were actually refined using True Blood River Water?" Lin Feng said in his heart: "This is an outright dark magic item, who'd have thought this guy actually still had this up his sleeves."

Liu Yang slanted his eyes looking at Lin Feng and sneered: "This is a magic item I obtained when I killed a dark cultivator before, it was refined using precisely the tainted blood in this Nether Blood River."

Looking at the nine fluttering blood-red banners above the Nether Blood River, Lin Feng's expression did not change but cold sweat had already appeared in his palms: "This guy's cultivation level is pretty high and he also has this kind of magic item in his hands, if I wasn't scheming against him while he wasn't guarding against me I'd pretty much be dead today."

"But no matter how sly you are you've still gotta drink your Papa Lin's dirty water!" (TL: I tried.)

Lin Feng stood on top of the stone beam, humbly bowing down: "I wish your greatness success!"

Liu Yan smiled noncommittally. He is just arrogant and not stupid, but the problem is that at present for him who is at the aurous core stage, Lin Feng who only has a level of qi disciple level 10 was honestly like a mundane person to him, he could crush him to death with one finger.

Towards opponents with little difference in strength, Liu Yang naturally puts some thought into things, but for cases where the difference between both sides is so great that he can easily steamroll over with just his strength, Liu Yang was honestly too lazy to use his mind.

"Besides this Nether Blood River in front of me there's nothing else that can pose a threat to me. And now with these nine Blood Lake Banners forming a formation to protect me, I'm not afraid of the tainted blood eroding my mana. Everything is set!"

Thinking here, Liu Yang snorted and then walked forward, directly stepping into the blood lake.

Lin Feng stood on top of the stone beam, his expression was calm and collected but he was actually extremely nervous in his heart.

Now that Liu Yang has entered into the blood lake Lin Feng instantly breathed a sigh of relief. He watched as Liu Yang nonchalantly stood in the center of the blood lake, his body surrounded by nine blood-red banners blocking the turbulent tainted blood for him.

Lin Feng curled his lips: "He really thinks this place is his home field?"

Smiling for a moment, Liu Yang's expression was relaxed. He lifted his hand and formed a spell sign, the nine Blood Lake Banners beside him all shook together and a dark purple blood aura faintly flowed over the banners.

While the blood aura flowed, it gradually merged together and went deep into the Nether Blood River below Liu Yang's feet.

Instantly, the seething blood lake had a trend of gradually calming down. Seeing this Liu Yang smiled complacently, lifting his eyes and looking towards Lin Feng who was above him.

Lin Feng was also smiling, but his smile was completely different from the humble and submissive smile from before, he was laughing extremely triumphantly.

Liu Yang's face sank: "What are you laughing about?"

Lin Feng laughed saying: "I'm laughing that the show has only just started, the good stuff is at the back."

While speaking Lin Feng stomped his feet, heavily stomping on the stone beam he was standing on and directly crushing the stone beam. Countless stone fragments fell towards the blood lake like it was raining.

Liu Yang furrowed his brows, an expression of surprise and anger surfacing on his face.

But very quickly his eyes narrowed into a slit. He suddenly discovered that after Lin Feng crushed the stone beam, a pile of bones and a pitch-black flag surprisingly appeared from the stone beam.

The bones emitted a faint golden glow. Liu Yang knows that this is the result of their aurous core mana not dispersing and merging together with their remains after an aurous core stage cultivator passes away, similar to buddhist sariras.

But what Liu Yang was more concerned about was that pitch-black flag.

The pitch-black flag looked extremely ordinary, not a hint of any mana fluctuations were released from it causing Liu Yang to be completely unaware of its existence before.

This flag is precisely that Black Cloud Flag Lin Feng wanted to collect.

This Black Cloud Flag was not actually at the bottom of the blood lake but was instead inside of the stone beam right above the blood lake.

Seeing the remains and the Black Cloud Flag, how could Liu Yang not have known that he'd been had. But before he could react, after Lin Feng crushed the stone beam he immediately grabbed the flagpole and pulled the Black Cloud Flag out from the fragmented rocks.

With this pull, it was like a spark being thrown into a pan of oil. The entire underground palace suddenly fell into havoc, it was like the world was ending.

Liu Yang's expression turned ghostly pale. He wanted to fly out of the blood lake, but who knew that the Nether Blood Lake that was in his control a moment ago also suddenly revolted.

Countless amounts of tainted blood flew into the sky like an erupting volcano!

And at this moment, the originally unexciting Black Cloud Flag also released powerful mana fluctuations, black light flowed and it revealed its true colours.

Seeing this Lin Feng silently laughed, he did not guess wrong.

The Nether Blood River is not an ordinary river, its special characteristic is contaminating and devouring all life so it is extremely dangerous. Once it crosses over to the human realm from the Netherworld it will cause disaster and go around doing evil.

But after such a long period of time, the Nether Blood Lake did not even spread the slightest bit towards the surface and was instead forced to flow underground. The reason is because of Daoist Master Hei Yun's remains and this Black Cloud Flag.

Daoist Master Hei Yun may be a wandering cultivator, but his compassionate feelings are worthy of being revered by all. After he created this cultivation abode and accidentally opened up a spatial rift between the Netherworld causing the blood river to invade the human realm, he did not shirk his responsibilities and single-handedly sealed off the blood river breach.

If not for Daoist Master Hei Yun's remains and his magic item suppressing this blood river branch, don't mention this underground palace, the Nether Blood River probably would have already flooded towards the Zhou Dynasty's imperial capital.

After so many years, a marvelous but brittle balance had formed between the remains, magic item and the Nether Blood River, both sides were at an equilibrium.

This is why the Black Cloud Flag's mana did not leak out and Liu Yang who was at the aurous core stage was also unable to sense it, because the Black Cloud Flag's mana was all cancelled-out by the Nether Blood River.

Now that Lin Feng has pulled out the Black Cloud Flag, with the loss of the Black Cloud Flag's mana suppression the Nether Blood River was instantly like a beast out of its cage and roaring outwards.

Liu Yang was scrambling about, the surrounding tainted blood was like a monstrous flood wanting to drown him. Right now the nine Blood River Banners were like candles in the wind, not only were they unable to help Liu Yang, they were instead like wandering sons who had returned home and were about to throw themselves into the embrace of the Nether Blood River.

What Liu Yang practises is in then end not the Blood River Secret Art. When the Nether Blood River is calm he can still rely on the Blood Lake Banners to protect himself, but now that the blood lake has fallen into a frazy he immediately became in jeopardy.

Liu Yang's eyes were crimson red and staring at Lin Feng: "You daoist, die!" Disregarding the blood water that had already stained his body and was wildly contaminating his mana, Liu Yang patted his sword scabbard and a beam of sword aura even more frenzied than the blood lake shot straight towards Lin Feng's head.

The Shaoshang Sword, the most domineering of Mt. Shu's Six Meridian Swords and also the most domineering sword technique in the world!

Before the sword aura had even jumped out of the scabbard, Lin Feng already sensed that he'd been enveloped by an extremely chilling murderous intent. He felt as if even his soul was about to be frozen, a thought couldn't stop appearing in his heart: "Don't dodge, there's no point, with such a powerful sword aura death is guaranteed…"

When the sword aura truly appeared before him, Lin Feng who was transfixed by the sword pressure even felt that his mind had already stopped, not even a thought could turn in his head. The sword aura did not touch his body, but just the wind brought up by the sword was about to cut him into pieces.

If he didn't have any preparations Lin Feng would without any doubt die under this vengeful attack of Liu Yang's.

But right now he smiled faintly, he even had the spare time to wave his hands towards Liu Yang to say goodbye.

"Buddy, you really are a good person. If not for you I'd still have to rack my brain about how to seal this Nether Blood River after pulling out the flag, thanks!"

While speaking, the Black Cloud Flag in Lin Feng's hand lightly shook. Black light rose up and it had already opened up the void, sweeping up Lin Feng and disappearing out of sight.

"No!!!"

Liu Yang watched in near hopelessness as Lin Feng disappeared on the spot, his violent and domineering powerful sword aura could only cut at the empty air.

The next moment he was already swallowed by the boundless blood sea.

"If I don't die then even if I have to chase you to the ends of the world I will cut you into a thousand pieces!" (TL: Future cameo appearance confirmed.)

Liu Yang's angry howls seemed to still echo in the air. Lin Feng picked his ears: "How's about you first be a good boy and replace the Black Cloud Flag to suppress the Nether Blood River for me and then we'll talk."

In the first place he never expected to screw over Liu Yang and kill him so easily like this, or else after he took away the Black Cloud Flag it would be him having a headache about the flooding Nether Blood River.

How things are right now is pretty good. With Liu Yang acting as the sacrificial lamb, to protect himself he can only do his best to suppress the swelling blood river and the blood river thus then becomes Liu Yang's cage.

Lin Feng remarked from the bottom of his heart: "What a good person! This kind of good person who sacrifices himself for others is honestly too few, or else how wonderful and happy of a world would this be?"

As for whether or not this guy will get out one day, this was temporarily out of Lin Feng's control. For Lin Feng, this is pressure and also motivation to keep going higher, urging him to improve his own strength as quickly as possible.

The most important matter right now is still to first find those three poor disciples of his.

Lin Feng played with the Black Cloud Flag that had already shrunk to the size of his palm.

This is the first aurous core stage magic item that he has obtained. Even though it has been tainted by the Nether Blood River and its power is less than 30% of its peak state, even then it is still an extraordinary magic item. It is more powerful than all of the magic items Lin Feng currently has, even the Northern Aurora Sword is a cut below.

The Black Cloud Flag combines attack and defense in one and has the ability to shift through space for short distances, it really is nice.

Even more importantly is that different from the Northern Aurora Sword, this Black Cloud Flag is an aurous core stage magic item, within it there are spell formations that automatically absorb spiritual energy to nourish itself. When using it, Lin Feng instead does not expend that much mana like the Northern Aurora Sword.

But how to cleanse the tainted blood on the flag in the future and let it restore its original luster is a very troublesome matter.

Right now what made Lin Feng pleased was the system notification sound that rose up in his mind: "Host has obtained the Black Cloud Flag and completed the random side quest Black Cloud Underground Palace, reward 500 trading points!"

Lin Feng laughed. Before he finds out the pattern of the lottery system he actually better prefers these down to earth trading points.

Compared to the lottery system that depends on luck, the items in the trading system with a clear price tag are a bit more dependable, he buys whatever he wants. Of course the pretense is that he has enough trading points.

After pondering for a moment Lin Feng was not in a rush to exchange for anything and instead decided to save up the points.

Based on his experience, if he can take in a third disciple, besides a lottery chance the system will also reward 500 trading points.

Lin Feng plans on saving up some points and then going on a shopping spree.

Just as he guessed before, as Daoist Master Hei Yun's soul-bound magic item the Black Cloud Flag is indeed closely connected to this Black Cloud Underground Palace. The mana within the magic item is inextricably linked to the spiritual energy flowing in the underground palace.

After Lin Feng refined the Black Cloud Flag using his own mana, his mind communicated with the flag and a detailed map of the Black Cloud Underground Palace instantly appeared in his head.

"If there's a map then that makes things simple." Lin Feng nodded his head, thinking in his heart: "Wonder if it can confirm the positions of Zhu Yi and the others?"

This thought just appearing, three dots of light instantly appeared on the map.

Lin Feng was overjoyed, he knows that these three dots of light separately represent Xiao Budian, Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi, but afterwards what made him surprised is that these three dots of light were actually all gathered together. This means that his two disciples are together with Zhu Yi right now.

Lin Feng didn't feel happy, his eyebrows instead raising up slightly. He gave another command to the Black Cloud Flag: "Are there other people around the three people?"

Giving the command, 5 dots of light instantly lit up on the map. Each of them was very bright and they were right around Zhu Yi and them.

Lin Feng sighed, things might be a bit worse than expected.

"Where is Liu Yang?"

A massive dot of light appeared on the other side of the map, its brightness was stronger than all of the previous dots of light put together, although this massive dot of light representing Liu Yang was flashing constantly, presumably due to Liu Yang wrestling it out with the Nether Blood River.

Lin Feng's forehead heavily wrinkled. Just as he thought, the brightness of the dots of light represent the height of the target's level.

Liu Yang's dot of light is the brightest and matches with his aurous core stage level.

Zhu Yi's dot of light is the weakest, it was practically unseeable from being surrounded by the five big dots of light.

Xiao Budian's brightness was about the same as Xiao Yan's but is was also faint.

Those five big dots of light very likely represent five foundation establishment stage cultivators.

This means that not only Zhu Yi, even Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian have also landed in their hands. Regardless of whether they're the Society of the Strong Gale or the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, for Lin Feng it's all not good news.

"Hope they're not hurt." Lin Feng shook the Black Cloud Flag and disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared Lin Feng had already been transported to the location of Zhu Yi and co.

Under the help of the Black Cloud Flag it was like Lin Feng had become one with the Black Cloud Underground Palace. Only Liu Yang and Huang San those kinds of aurous core stage cultivators can discover his existence, these foundation establishment stage cultivators are unable to sense him.

Lin Feng did not show himself at the first moment, he plans on first looking at the situation.

With this look Lin Feng couldn't help but be a bit stupefied.

The scene in his imagination of his three disciples being captured and being tortured in every possible way and then not submitting did not appear.

In the tunnel, Xiao Budian and Xiao Yan both had a calm demeanor and were chatting happily with six cultivators of the house of the Marquis, walking towards the surface together.

Only Zhu Yi, even though he was a bit downcast he was still in a normal mood and did not receive any trouble, following behind everybody and advancing forward.

Huang San was killed by Liu Yang, these cultivators of the house of the Marquis were all a bit at a loss. Liu Yang witnessed the truth of them being together with Zhu Yi. Under this kind of circumstance if they insist on killing Zhu Yi and pushing the blame onto the Society of the Strong Gale, things won't be as easy to fool.

It looks like Liu Yang won't care about such a minor matter, but if news travels out then that would be very bad. To save face the Marquis of Xuanji would definitely kill them and bury them with Zhu Yi.

Due to this kind of consideration, after some deliberation the six people finally decided to just bring Zhu Yi back like this, whatever the outcome it's still considered an achievement.

But who would have thought that they'd encounter Xiao Budian and Xiao Yan who had become separated from Lin Feng.

To this date no matter how you count it, Xiao Budian is still only four years old. A level of qi disciple level 6 was truly as eye-catching as a firefly in the night. The shock that he brought to this group of foundation establishment stage cultivators was even greater than compared to the Blaze Sword Sect at Wuzhou City.

Xiao Budian at that time who was still only at qi disciple level 4 already stunned Elder Li who was at the aurous core stage. Now with his level of qi disciple level 6 and matched with his cute, clean child appearance, the massive contrast made this group of foundation establishment stage cultivators temporarily lose their ability to think.

And then they reacted over. If they don't pull this kind of talented child with prodigious potential into their sects, their sect founders would definitely jump out from their graves in anger.

Regardless of the purple fine-clothed middle-aged man or the five Five Elements Sect cultivators, they all surrounded Xiao Budian with smiling faces.

In comparison, Xiao Yan's current strength of qi disciple level 7 at the age of 15 was not very remarkable.

After the affair with the Blaze Sword Sect, Xiao Budian had a clear understanding of his situation and knows that a lot of people covet his talent.

He just has a playful spirit still but he actually matured very early. These days following Lin Feng the little guy has become even more slippery.

Facing the group of foundation establishment stage cultivators who surrounded over, Xiao Budian did not shy away. His big, black eyes turned and he revealed a pair of shiny little canines, saying with a smile: "How do you do uncles and grandpas, junior Yu Hao pays his respects."

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed and he also said very politely: "Junior Yu Yan greets everybody."

"Yu?" These cultivators may all have different sects and teachings, but they all work in the House of the Marquis of Xuanji and are well-knowledged. Hearing Xiao Budian and Xiao Yan call their surnames Yu, the first reaction in their minds was the Zhou Dynasty's neighboring country, one of the four great clans of the Great Qin Dynasty the Yu clan.

The leader of the five people of the Five Elements Sect the yellow-clothed old man asked with a smile: "Little buddy, your surname is Yu, are you a child of the Great Qin Dynasty's Yu clan?"

Xiao Budian heavily nodded his head and said with a smile: "Yeah, old grandpa how do you know we are from the Yu clan, do you recognize someone from my clan?"

"The Yu clan's name reverberates like thunder, unfortunately I have not had the fortune to meet a clan member." The yellow-clothed old man's face became even more sincere, but in his heart he was very disappointed.

A person from the Yu clan, that's not easy to fight for.

The Yu clan that is ranked amongst the Great Qin Dynasty's four great clans, they could also be considered well-known is this world. Of course they can't compete with the three great holy lands, but like the Blaze Sword Sect they are both dominant powers within the borders of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The Yu clan's heritage may be inferior to the Blaze Sword Sect that has been around for ten thousand years, but because of family blood their bonds are even stronger than a sect.

The six foundation establishment stage cultivators all looked at each other and called out unfortunate in their hearts. With this little guy's talent, even in the Yu clan he's definitely the most precious little baby. Don't mention their sects, even if the Mt. Shu Sword Sect and the Void Temple came to ask for him they would still be given the cold shoulder.

One middle-aged cultivator of the Five Elements Sect secretly transmitted his voice towards the yellow-clothed old man: "The Qin Dynasty's diplomatic envoys did indeed arrive at Tianjing City a few days ago, could there be people of the Yu clan amongst them and this child followed the elders of his family over?"

The yellow-clothed old man did not bat an eyelid and still looked towards Xiao Budian with a smile asking: "Why did you guys come here?"

Xiao Budian answered innocently: "Me and my clan-brother came out to play together and saw a cave in the distance, so we came in to check it out. Who knew that we couldn't get out anymore, can you bring us out old grandpa?"

"Me and my clan-brother came out to play together and saw a cave in the distance, so we came in to check it out. Who knew that we couldn't get out anymore, can you bring us out old grandpa?"

In the dark tunnel of the underground palace, Xiao Budian's sweet child voice crisply rose up.

Lin Feng who was silently following behind them shook his head and smiled. This little guy really is good at playing dumb and acting adorable, with just a little bag he dragged in the entire Yu clan.

Despite this little imp looking all cute and lovely, he's probably thinking about how to knock other people out from behind.

I've got to be careful in the future too and not be fooled by this little guy's harmless outer appearance, this little imp really knows how to cause trouble.

Hearing Xiao Budian's question, the yellow-clothed old man said with a smile: "We're on our way back to Tianjing City too, it just so happens that we can also bring you guys back. Your family must be worried sick."

When he said this his eyes were tightly locked on Xiao Budian, the other five people also had the same action.

Xiao Budian blinked his big, black eyes, his eyes revealing a colour of joy and cheering aloud: "Great!"

Xiao Yan at the side also revealed an expression of "We're saved."

The six cultivators of the house of the Marquis of Xuanji all secretly nodded their heads. Looks like these two little kids don't seem to be faking it, they are indeed from the Yu clan.

Little did they know that Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian had already made an agreement beforehand. If they encounter trouble then they'll raise the Yu clan's flag.

The two people may not have seen Zhu Yi in person before, but they've both heard Lin Feng describe his appearance before which is why they recognized Zhu Yi with one look when they met. And it was very evident that even though these six people are cultivators of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, they are not on friendly terms and were bringing along Zhu Yi like escorting a prisoner.

Senior and junior apprentice-brother looked at each and unanimously decided to save Zhu Yi.

But the vast mana fluctuations of the six people told them that these six people were all foundation establishment stage cultivators. Don't mention the six of them together, even if there was only one person, them two together wouldn't even be the match for one hand.

Thinking that the yellow-clothed old man mentioned that their "family" was waiting at Tianjing City, Xiao Budian secretly moaned in his heart. He didn't know before that people from the Yu clan had actually come to the Great Zhou Dynasty and arrived at Tianjing City.

Xiao Yan swept him with the corner of his eyes, hinting at him to calm down. Xiao Budian collected himself and then got close to Zhu Yi, asking curiously: "Big brother, are you also training with your elders?"

The yellow-clothed old man laughed. The other people also started laughing. Their smiling faces were very strange, one of them laughed saying: "Little buddy, he is not the same as you, he's nothing but a scholar who learned a dao technique without permission."

Hearing this, Zhu Yi raised his brows and said calmly: "Even though it is not of my free will, but just looking at the results it could indeed be considered training."

The yellow-clothed old man slightly knit his brows and became angered in his heart. He knew that Zhu Yi was talking about the matter of Huang San being killed by Liu Yi with one attack.

But Xiao Budian does not care about what Zhu Yi's eye-opener is pointing at. Instead he is a bit curious right now as to why his master would have his eyes on this green-clothed scholar as a disciple.

At this moment, the purple-fine-clothed middle-aged man who was silent the entire time suddenly lifted his head and said with a heavy voice: "Wait, something's wrong."

Everybody was startled. The purple-fine-clothed middle-aged man first stared at Xiao Budian: "You practise a thunder class dao technique." He then turned his gaze towards Xiao Yan: "You practise a fire class dao technique."

The other foundation establishment stage cultivators also reacted over, all of them using their mana to investigate and discovering that it was indeed so. The expressions on their faces all became dark.

The yellow-clothed old man said slowly: "The water class dao technique the Art of the Water God is known throughout the entire world, why don't you two practise the dao technique of your clan?" (TL: Dao technique name subject to change.)

Xiao Budian's and Xiao Yan's hearts slightly sank. They didn't think that they would reveal a flaw here. The two people's minds rapidly turned, Xiao Budian answered while maintaining his composure: "Whatever dao technique my master teaches me is whatever I learn."

The yellow-clothed old man's face became dark: "Nonsense, if you really are a direct descendant of the Yu clan how could you take an outsider as your master?"

"Because his master is even stronger than the Yu clan."

A calm voice lightly rose up. Lin Feng slowly walked out and appeared before everybody.

Xiao Budian and Xiao Yan revealed a smile at the same time, bowing towards Lin Feng: "Greetings master."

The yellow-clothed old man creased his brows: "You talk big, may I ask who you are?"

Zhu Yi stared at Lin Feng, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise but he did not say anything.

He didn't say anything but Lin Feng approached him on his own. After closely observing Zhu Yi for a while he let out a sigh: "I nearly missed you back then, I really didn't think that you are actually Bingyun's son, you've already grown so big."

With this remark Zhu Yi instantly became rooted on the spot.

The cultivators of the house of the Marquis stared at Lin Feng in puzzlement, only that yellow-clothed old man was dumbfounded and shocked: "You… You actually know Meng Bingyun?"

Of the six people only this old man vaguely knows Meng Bingyun's background. The other five people all think that she is just a concubine of the Marquis of Xuanji, they've never even payed attention to her exact name before.

Lin Feng did not respond to the old man, just continuing to stare at Zhu Yi: "That day the reason I headed towards Spring Mountain was to visit the grave of an old friend. I came across you by chance but I did not recognize you."

"Afterwards only after asking that old monk in the temple did I know that you are Bingyun's son." Lin Feng said with deep feeling: "That you can regularly go and sweep your mother's grave is very good. The world has already forgotten Meng Bingyun, but at least she has left something valuable in this world."

Zhu Yi's eyes turned slightly red. He bowed his body and said: "Even though I have never heard my mother mention you, but my mother has passed away for many years and you can still remember her. I thank you here on behalf of my mother."

Lin Feng's eyes stared straight at Zhu Yi. He said slowly: "In that past I once promised your mother that if you were willing, I could take you in as my successor and teach everything I know to you, helping you step upon the path of immortals and live an unrestrained life for eternity."

"Zhu Yi, are you willing?"

Zhu Yi's face revealed an expression of contemplation. Lin Feng did not rush him and calmly stood on the spot.

But the cultivators of the house of the Marquis were upset. Starting from the leading old man they all stared angrily at Lin Feng and scolded aloud.

"Young Lord Yi is the son of the Marquis of Xuanij. Who he chooses as his master, what path he walks in the future and what kind of life he lives will naturally be arranged by the Marquis. All Young Lord Zhu has to do obey, I believe that the Marquis' arrangements will always be the best."

"The Marquis of Xuanji, Marquis Zhu is his father. Don't mention that Meng Bingyun has already died a long time ago, even if she was still alive she would still just be a concubine by the Marquis' side, she has no power to interfere in the Marquis' decisions!"

"The Marquis is the pillar that hold up the sky of the Zhou Dynasty, the golden bridge above the sea. He is the sky of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, all personnel and matters within the house of the Marquis have to follow the Marquis' arrangements or else that is going against the heavens and they will suffer the wrath of heaven!"

"Leave quickly you daoist. This world may be big, but if you aggravate the Marquis of Xuanji there will be no place in this world for you!"

Lin Feng didn't even look at them, his eyes were staring at Zhu Yi the entire time. At this moment he turned his head and indifferently glanced at them.

"When I am speaking with someone, keep silent."

Finishing speaking Lin Feng casually waved his hand. Dazzling golden light flew into the air and illuminated the entire tunnel, boundless mana swept the entire area!

With a wave of Lin Feng's hand, golden light flickered and enveloped the entire tunnel.

Everybody was stunned and they all suddenly smelt the faint scent of sandalwood enter their nostrils. Their vision was filled with dazzling golden light and waves of buddhist chanting entered into their ears as if it came from the distant horizon, but also seemingly rising up from the depths of their hearts.

Accompanying the buddhist chanting was Lin Feng's calm voice: "Zhu Hongwu may be Zhu Yi's blood relative, but not for a single day has he conducted his responsibilities of teaching him. He only uses etiquette and rules to bound his body and mind, satisfying his own selfish desires and desire for control. He is a shame as a father and a husband, he has no right to interfere with Zhu Yi choosing the path he wants to walk."

"Zhu Yi is the son of an old friend of mine, regardless of whether or not he becomes my disciple today I will not sit still and watch others suppress his development."

"This child's own path will be chosen by himself and he alone will be responsible for it."

Lin Feng's calm and indifferent, yet also powerful words fell into Zhu Yi's ears. Even Zhu Yi who's always had a strong will felt a wave of warm soothingness in his heart, a lot of the indignation stuck in his heart for many years also disappeared.

The face of the middle-aged man in a body of purple fine-clothes was as cold as ice, he shouted out: "Die zealot!" Waving his two hands, nine rings of light flew out and headed straight for Lin Feng.

Zhu Yi has seen the fine-clothed middle-aged man strike out before. He knows that the people trapped by the rings of light will be unable to move and can only wait to be captured. Seeing him use the same trick to fight Lin Feng he couldn't help but speak out to warn him: "Hurry up and dodge, don't get caught by the light!"

Lin Feng had a calm composure, he chanted in a prolonged voice: "24 Heaven Arhat Formation, open!"

The sariras that were released before shined brightly. The golden light became increasingly more radiant and blended together, turning into a heavy haze and covering the entire tunnel. The scent of sandalwood permeated the air and thunderous buddhist chanting shook the ears.

A giant hand poked out from the golden light haze and slapped away three rings of light.

Afterwards, an arhat light figure covered in golden light stepped out from the light haze. With its massive hundred foot tall figure it had already arrived in front of the fine-clothed middle-aged man with two steps. Its fist the size of a house came smashing down on his head.

The fine-clothed middle-aged man let out a cold snort. The spell sign of his two hands changed and the nine rings of light suddenly connected together as a line in mid-air, stabbing down towards the arhat's head like a sword.

The golden arhat chanted the name of Buddha in a low voice, its two palms coming together and clapping towards the center, catching the rings of light that had linked together into a line.

The rings of light changed again. The nine rings of lights slipped over each other, linking together like a chain and then arced through the air tying up the golden arhat.

At this moment the nine rings of light were connected end to end, turning into a giant ring of light and enclosing the golden arhat in the middle, bounding it and causing it to be unable to move.

The golden arhat exerted force to break free but it was as if the ring of light was made of elastic. It constantly expanded and shrank, neutralizing the arhat's great strength and causing it to be unable to break free.

The fine-clothed middle-aged man laughed coldly: "And I thought you would be quite skilled, you're nothing but so!"

The five cultivators of the Five Elements Sect also revealed smiles of disdain on their faces. The yellow-clothed old man stroked his white beard and smiled saying: "So it's a scum of the Great Thunder Monastery, too bad your dao technique has yet to reach a sufficient level…"

"Boom!"

Another pair of giant palms poked out from the light haze and a second golden arhat revealed itself. Following closely behind it was also a third one…

The laughter of the cultivators of the house of the Marquis abruptly stopped.

"Ouch!" Under his great shock, the yellow-clothed old man accidently pulled off a few hairs from his beard causing him to grimace in pain.

The fine-clothed middle-aged man stared in terror at the two massive golden arhats that were also 100 feet tall that rushed out together. They stood separately at two sides and together grabbed the ring of light binding the first golden arhat.

"Buddha is merciful!"

With a low shout the three arhats exerted force together, working from inside and outside and directly tugging to pieces the ring of light.

His soul-bound magic item destroyed, the fine-clothed middle-aged man spit out a mouth of vital blood and then fell backwards towards the ground without making a sound.

Lin Feng smiled asking: "Who is it who is nothing but so?"

One Five Elements Sect cultivator shouted: "Three against one, what is there to be proud of? We five people here will destroy your arhats!"

Lin Feng chuckled: "Your meaning is that you're going to bully me with numbers?"

The cultivator shouted asking: "So what if I am?"

"Not much." Lin Feng lightly clapped his hands and then one after another golden arhats emerged from the light haze.

A 100 foot tall arhat, its head bumping straight into the ceiling of the tunnel. Looking at it it possess a peerless pressure.

And when 24 of such massive arhats appear together in the tunnel they instantly created a type of terrifying pressure the covered the skies.

Lifting their eyes and looking, in the entire tunnel the cultivators of the house of the Marquis could not see the stone walls and the ceiling of the tunnel, they could only see the colossal bodies of the golden arhats.

24 golden arhats, 24 foundation establishment stages, this kind of line-up appearing in front of the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect virtually made them completely breakdown. They blankly watched as the golden arhats surrounded them.

Lin Feng's soft laughter rose up in the light haze: "Bullying me with numbers? Hehe…"

The yellow-clothed old man's face was ghastly pale but he could still maintain his composure: "Don't panic, this should be a formation, just charge out of the area of the spell formation!"

The other four people also calmed down. The five people cast a spell together and five-coloured divine light flashed in the buddhist light formation.

Different from the formation when fighting the Society of the Strong Gale before, this time the five people were completely serious. The five people all spit out a mouth of vital blood filled with their own vital energy. The vital blood landed in the five-coloured divine light and rapidly evaporated while a change occurred to the five-coloured divine light.

At this moment, the originally distinctly separate fives colours of the pillar of light had mixed together and turned into a beam of black light.

The black light was like a slit that had suddenly split open in a piece of black silk.

Brown soil slowly seeped out from the slit, gathering together and spitting out a tender green bud. It rapidly grew in the wind and the surrounding air magically congealed into drops of glistening water droplets, sprinkling down on the bud and giving bloom to a gorgeous and burning flower of fire.

A faint golden glow flashed from the stamen of the fire flower. The next moment a tiny golden sword shot out from the stamen, arcing across the air like fleeting swan.

The sword aura was subtle, it looked unassuming but it was filled with destructive power. The lethality of this beam of sword aura is not the least bit weaker than an aurous core talisman!

Lin Feng who was hidden within the light haze was indifferent towards it. With a thought, buddhist light flickered above the heads of the 24 arhat light figures and blended together, turning into a golden disk and smashing towards the sword aura.

Just like a thin and delicate sword encountering a giant axe that could split the world, in moaning sounds that sounded like crying the long sword was humorously but also tragically split into broken pieces!

The five people coughed out blood in unison. The yellow-clothed old man howled: "Run! Every man who get's away counts!"

Hearing this Lin Feng laughed saying: "Nobody's getting away."

"The glaring eyes of the arhat suppress the heavens! Crush! Crush! Crush!"

The 24 golden arhats opened wide their eyes and shouted out together, 48 giant, shiny golden hands pressed down together.

In the sound of shouting and screaming the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect were all killed by the golden arhats.

The purple-fine-clothed middle-aged man who had fallen to the ground unconscious before suddenly jumped up from the ground and ignited a talisman in his hand. He roared hoarsely: "You will pay."

The talisman was lit ablaze, flickering with the light of fire in the air. The fine-clothed middle-aged man extended his finger and wrote a giant "Buddha" character in the air. (TL: This is the character, 佛)

Pausing for a moment he then wrote the character "Yu". (TL: This is the character, 于)

A thought rose up in Lin Feng's heart and he did not stop him at the first moment. Pausing for a moment, only after the two characters "Buddha" and "Yu" were lit ablaze together with the talisman and turned into a beam of light piercing through the air did he control the arhat formation and also kill the fine-clothed middle-aged man.

Using unmatched power to sweep away six foundation establishment stage cultivators, Lin Feng was pleased in his heart.

Even though he's already dealt with two aurous core stage cultivators before, those two times were both achieved under near-death circumstances using trickery. They weren't like this time, completely fair and square, using his own strength to crush the enemy and winning with great satisfaction.

Lin Feng said in his heart: "Sure enough increasing one's own strength is the absolute principle."

These 24 sariras really are good stuff. They themselves can provide sufficient mana to supply the spell formation and don't need to waste Lin Feng's mana, allowing Lin Feng who is at the qi disciple stage to be also able to use the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation this kind of overpowering formation.

Retracting the sariras and formation, Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian walked over and greeted him again: "Master!"

Xiao Budian flattered Lin Feng with a giant grin: "Master is so amazing!"

Lin Feng smiled and patted his tiny head, turning his head and looking towards Zhu Yi who had a quiet expression.

Right now Zhu Yi has already completely calmed down. He bowed towards Lin Feng: "Thank you for saving me."

Lin Feng's expression was calm. He didn't now say anything, he knows that Zhu Yi still has something to say.

Sure enough, after being silent for a moment Zhu Yi continued saying: "I have one question, I hope that you can answer it for me."

Lin Feng waved his sleeves: "Speak your mind."

Zhu Yi inhaled a deep breath and slowly asked: "May I ask in your heart, in this world is reasoning the biggest or is strength the biggest?"

Lin Feng looked closely at Zhu Yi. The green-clothed scholar's eyes were calm and resolute, clearly he has his own answer.

Zhu Yi asked seriously: "May I ask in your heart, in this world is reasoning the biggest or is strength the greatest?"

"Without strength you will be unable to uphold your reason. With empty strength but no reason, it is nothing but mindless violence." Lin Feng smiled lightly: "What is the biggest in the world? A person with strength speaking reason, this reason is the biggest!"

Zhu Yi's eyes exploded with an astonishing spirit.

"That's right! If I had your strength, I would definitely dare to stand up for myself in front of my father. What is the biggest in the world, reason is the biggest. Father and son can also argue by reasoning, even emperors and officials can argue by reasoning!"

"If the prince have great faults, they ought to remonstrate with him, and if he do not listen to them after they have done so again and again, they ought to dethrone him! Those subservient principles of my father have strayed from the true nature of scholars. But towards these principles, with my feeble strength how can I argue over him?"

"If the king makes a great mistake then scholars need to dissuade him. If the king does not listen repeatedly and insists upon his actions then he will be dethroned! This is the principle of scholars, unfortunately without strength I am unable to uphold these principles."

"Just as master said, speaking reason with strength, this is the correct path!"

Finishing speaking Zhu Yi lifted the lap of his robe and kneeled on the ground, kowtowing heavily: "Please take me in master, Zhu Yi is willing to practise under master's teachings and learn dao techniques, learn reason!"

Lin Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "The third one, the hardships all these days is all worth it!"

Officially taking in Zhu Yi as his disciple, the third grid of data appeared in the disciple system that belongs to Zhu Yi.

Name: Zhu Yi

Age: 15 years 3 months

Current Cultivation Level: Guiding energy into the body, about to enter qi disciple level 1.

Potential Attributes: "Bone Root - 7; Comprehension - 9; Will - 8; Blessings - 10

Recommended Teaching Plan: "Recommended to practise thunder class or buddhist dao techniques. In terms of abilities recommended to practise spells as the main direction of development.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment. Even though he has the Kṣitigarbha Sutra and the Art of Acala these two top-notch dao techniques, he still decided to pass on to Zhu Yi the Nine Heaven Thunder Technique. The reason for this is because he's got a few more thunder class abilities and spells on his hands, paired up with the Nine Heaven Thunder Technique it is more advantageous for combat.

"This is your eldest apprentice-brother Xiao Yan and also my current head disciple." Lin Feng pointed at Xiao Yan and then pointed towards Xiao Budian: "This is your junior apprentice-brother Shi Tianhao, originally he was the first disciple whom I took in, but he is a big sloth and voluntarily chose to be the smallest."

Zhu Yi looked towards Xiao Yan, his eyes flashing. He then bowed towards him: "Greetings Eldest Apprentice-Brother."

Xiao Yan had his arms behind his head, he smiled and said with a lazy attitude: "No need to be so formal, between us apprentice-brothers there's no need to be so courteous."

Zhu Yi smiled lightly and still very seriously clasped his hands and saluted Xiao Budian. After pausing for a moment he said: "Junior apprentice-brother Tianhao."

Xiao Budian bowed towards him with a smiling face: "Greetings Senior apprentice-brother."

Zhu Yi took a deep look at him and didn't say anything more. He said in his heart: "People say it matters not when we start learning, whoever attains shall be the teacher. Compared to this junior apprentice-brother there is too much of a difference between us. I need to do my best to catch up and then surpass him to be able to achieve the effect of acting by example as the senior apprentice-brother."

When the three apprentice-brothers finished greeting each other Lin Feng opened his mouth and said: "I travel the world and will not stop in the Zhou Dynasty for very long. I also don't have any intentions of taking up residence in Tianjing City, what plans do you have?"

"If you want to remain in the Zhou Dynasty I can pass on dao techniques for you to record and then return at regular intervals to see you."

Zhu Yi thought seriously for a moment and responded saying: "The ancients say it is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. I am willing to follow master to travel the world." After pausing for a moment he said softly: "I don't intend to participate in this year's imperial examination anymore, but three years later I hope that master can allow me to return to Tianjing City to participate in the imperial examination.

Lin Feng smiled, he knows that besides attending the imperial examination to complete his aspiration, Zhu Yi also has thoughts of returning home in glory after attaining success in his cultivation prowess and reasoning with his father, the Marquis of Xuanji.

"Entering under my teaching all you need to do is obey my rules. I will never restrict your freedom." Lin Feng smiled saying: "Like I said, you have to walk you own path on your own, for your own matters make your own decisions."

Zhu Yi smiled saying: "I understand."

Lin Feng lead his three disciples and left the Black Cloud Underground Palace. Standing at the entrance of the underground palace Lin Feng felt regretful in his heart: "I have the Black Cloud Flag, this underground palace is like my own home. If there wasn't the Nether Blood River causing trouble I could treat this place as my base. Too bad, it really is too bad."

Same as the previous two times, after taking in Zhu Yi as his disciple the reward the system gave was also a lottery chance and 500 trading points.

Lin Feng still continued to save up his trading points. He already has his eyes on something good in the trading system, but it is very costly and requires him to save up a bit more.

In any case after looting Hui Ku and the six cultivators of the house of the Marquis Lin Feng has obtained many cultivation pills beneficial to cultivating. Even though he's got an extra mouth to feed now it is still enough to use.

Lin Feng entered the lottery system: "Let's see if anything good will appear in the lottery this time."

This time Lin Feng hopes to be able to get a martial skill. Zhu Yi is suited to practise spells. Cloud Dragon Escape and the Nine Heavens Thunder Summoning are enough for him to learn for a while, while over at Xiao Budian who is suited to practise both spells and martial skills, Lin Feng has still yet to truly teach him a martial skill. Not to mention Xiao Yan who is suited to specialize in the martial path.

Mr. Vulture's bone mace is actually refined using a martial ability called White Bone Hammer Smash. The old geezer himself is proficient in the martial way. He was at an old age and was unable to increase his cultivation prowess. His qi and blood gradually declined which is why he used his own martial skill to refine this bone mace magic item to fight enemies.

White Bone Hammer Smash is actually pretty good, but including the Art of Acala that everyone knows comes from the Great Thunder Monastery, if Lin Feng is always teaching his disciples abilities and dao techniques from other sects it is inevitable that they will have doubts in their hearts.

Thus Lin Feng hopes to obtain a martial ability of less well-known origin, of course its power also has to be acceptable. If he can't get one from the lottery draw then Lin Feng will probably have to bear the pain and expend trading points to trade for a martial skill from the system.

"Ocean Wave Palm? Not bad, but it doesn't have much growth."

"Thunder Arhat Fist? The martial skill for monks of the Great Thunder Monastery to build their foundation. No good, disregarding its low level, any person would be able to recognize that it's a martial skill of the Great Thunder Monastery."

Very unluckily, the three abilities in the wheel system were all spells.

And while the three types of abilities in the dice system were all martial skills, it's unfortunate that they are either not strong enough or are the signature martial skills of other sects. People can recognize them with one glance.

"The third one? Hm, Divine Vulture Palm, the famous martial skill of the wandering cultivator Master Vulture from thousands of years ago. But since Master Vulture passed away it has already been lost… This one's not bad!"

Finally his luck wasn't completely horrible. After looking at the description of the third martial skill Lin Feng's eyes lit up.

Divine Vulture Palm is in the eighth grid, in other words when Lin Feng rolls his dice he needs to roll an eight to be able to obtain this martial skill.

"The number is very lucky, I choose you!"

Giving the command in his mind the three dice instantly started spinning.

Like the previous time, the three dice still don't stop at the same time. They become still one after another and very quickly the first die stopped spinning.

A giant "6" was facing upward.

Lin Feng's heart instantly sank. It was just the first die and it was already a six. To obtain the Divine Vulture Palm at eight points the last two dice can only roll ones.

Not even an extra point is okay, this probability is honestly too low.

Very soon the second die also stopped. It was precisely a one!

Lin Feng breathed out a heavy sigh of relief. His eyes stared closely at the last die and he silently prayed in his heart: "I only want a one, I only want a one!" At the same time he rapidly scanned each of the potential items he could get.

The first two dice add up to a sum of seven, then after the last dice settles down the potential total is 8-13.

Number 8, Divine Vulture Palm.

Number 9, nothing.

Number 10, an Azure Spirit Pill used to cure poisons.

Number 11, a one-time use talisman with decent power, Thunder Spirit Gold Talisman.

Number 12, the mystery chest with a question mark.

Number 13…

"Hm? Wait a second, mystery chest?" Lin Feng was slightly surprised. A thought was turning in his mind when the third dice had already stopped.

Lin Feng swallowed his saliva and looked over. Facing upwards on the third dice was a big "5"!

Six plus one plus five, twelve.

Lin Feng stared with mixed feelings at the mysterious chest that had already appeared before him. Speaking of it his luck is actually pretty good. Out of a total of four lottery draws he got the special prize twice.

But who knows exactly what will come out from the chest? Right now Lin Feng desperately needs a dependable martial skill.

With a nervous heart Lin Feng opened the chest. Three orbs of light flew out from the chest.

Lin Feng was stunned, he then saw the first orb of light fly to his front. The light dispersed and a fire-red coloured pill landed in Lin Feng's palm.

"Nine Transformations Blazing Spirit Pill, condensation of the fire essense of the world. Hot but not intense, has a miraculous effect in healing cold injuries."

Lin Feng let out a sigh: "I have no need for this thing. Forget it, I'll put it away first just in case."

I got the big special prize, don't give me something entirely useless. Lin Feng was rather upset, after putting away the Nine Transformations Blazing Spirit Pill the second orb of light landed in front of him. The light dispersed and revealed its true form.

"A martial skill, Wayward Flying Sword?"

"One thousand years ago Wayward Sword Saint's secret sword technique. Using this sword technique Wayward Sword Saint climbed Mt. Shu and challenged the Mt. Shu Sword Sect., emerging unscathed. Since the death of Wayward Sword Saint it has already been lost?"

This is a martial skill even more awesome than the Divine Vulture Palm.

Looking at the sword manual of the Wayward Flying Sword in front of him, the depression in his heart was instantly swept away. He only felt like laughing towards the sky.

With a giant grin on his face Lin Feng put away the sword manual and then stared at the third orb of light. He was delighted in his heart: "The special prize this time is really awesome. Looks like it's a three in one big gift, giving out three items at once, wonder what good thing this third one will be?"

The orb of light landed in Lin Feng's palm and the light dispersed.

Lin Feng looked at the item and suddenly froze. He blinked his eyes and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Jade Tree of Knowledge Leaf, the leaf of one of the four great spiritual trees of the world, the Jade Tree of Knowledge.

Lin Feng was slightly at a loss: "What do I need this thing for. Jade Tree of Knowledge, Jade Tree of Knowledge… Isn't that the true form of that female demon Long Ye?"

"If you have no need for this thing then why not give it to me?"

Lin Feng was in the middle of thinking when an extremely lazy voice suddenly rose up in his mind.

That is a female's voice. It is not crisp and pleasant, instead it is low and hoarse. But it possesses a peculiar charm and is very alluring, leading the heart to willingly sink into the bottomless abyss.

But right now Lin Feng was covered with chills. He had an expression like he'd seen a ghost and he nearly screamed: "You're Long Ye?!"

"If you have no use for this Jade Tree of Knowledge leaf then why not give it to me."

Long Ye's tone of voice was soft and soothing, as if she was lightly whispering words of love into her lover's ear and pouting.

But hearing her voice Lin Feng's back became covered in cold sweat and he felt his hands and feet become cold.

At the first moment he determined that the voice actually came from his Northern Aurora Sword.

"This demoness, has she been attached to my spell sword the entire time? Starting from half a year ago at Stone Village she already…" Countless thoughts flashed across Lin Feng's heart. He forced himself to calm down and slowly opened his mouth saying: "You're finally willing to speak?"

Only when the words left his mouth did Lin Feng discover that even his voice was a bit hoarse, but he still did his best to appear nonchalant, as if he already knew that Long Ye was hiding beneath his eyelids the entire time.

Lin Feng's mind entered into the Northern Aurora Sword. A blanket of white light flashed by and a human figure immediately appeared in Lin Feng's mind.

Long hair flowing behind her, bare-footed and her clothes as white as snow. Her face was inhumanly beautiful, it was precisely Long Ye.

Her beauty was the greatest that Lin Feng had ever seen, only Yan Mingyue could compare with her. This pair of archrivals really could be called peerless beauties.

Unfortunately Lin Feng was entirely not in the mood of admiring the beautiful woman in front of him. He still remembers in the past to save Xiao Budian, he lead Murong Yanran and co. to fight with Long Ye and then he took advantage of the situation and destroyed Long Ye's body with a beam of Northern Aurora Mystic Light.

Long Ye's "I've remembered you" at that time was still fresh in his ears, making Lin Feng shudder in fear.

Long Ye laughed softly: "I really can't see through you. Hey, exactly what is your cultivation level?"

Lin Feng inhaled a deep breath and said: "Before I was merciful and let you live, looks like you have yet to learn your lesson."

Long Ye laughed saying: "I've learned my lesson, that's why even until now I haven't killed you yet."

Lin Feng's heart felt a chill, he then continued to hear Long Ye say: "Because I really can't see through you. I consider my cultivation level as relatively decent. Even though now I am heavily injured, my judgement still remains but I cannot see through you."

"If I say that you are at a high level, but when you use your escape technique to travel you are just at the qi disciple stage. You never fight on your own and only control this foundation establishment stage spell sword to fight enemies. You also only have a qi disciple stage standard when setting up formations.

Long Ye spoke softly: "Do you really only have a level of qi disciple stage and it is simply that you possess some sort of treasure that can obstruct the probing of others? Honestly, there were so many times where I almost could not resist attacking you."

Lin Feng secretly clenched his fists. He acted calm and said lightly: "How can the likes of you see through my depths."

Long Ye quietly stared at Lin Feng. She suddenly smiled, her smile was like the moon breaking through clouds, stunning all of creation: "So, I've changed my mind. I won't bother you anymore, instead I'll make a trade with you."

Lin Feng rapidly calculated in his heart to see whether or not he could kill this demoness and completely get rid of all future troubles.

While calculating in his heart Lin Feng casually responded: "A trade? I have the Jade Tree of Knowledge leaf that you want, what can you give me?"

Long Ye brushed the hair by her ear, the corner of her lips revealing a faint smile: "You seem to be looking for satisfactory disciples?"

"Hm?" Murderous intent surged in Lin Feng's heart, the highest level of alert rang in his heart. The system is his greatest secret, nobody can know about it.

Because this damned system's setting is incredibly bullshit. If Lin Feng does not complete the main quest he will be directly killed by the system. If he lets people know the contents of his quest and then they obstruct his way, then Lin Feng will really be done for.

The 24 sariras and the Black Cloud Flag were all in place. Lin Feng was prepared to strike out at any moment while on the surface he was still acting as if nothing had happened: "Seeing outstanding talent anybody would be moved, I am naturally no exception."

Long Ye said: "Oh? But I've noticed that your disciples are all people of talent who were previously buried. Others were unable to discover their uniqueness but you had a discerning eye."

Lin Feng chuckled dryly. He did not pick up the conversation but his murderous intent was already nearly inconcealable.

But he then heard Long Ye continue saying: "Seeing you taking in disciples I know that you have big plans. You have plans of establishing your own sect? Regardless of you humans or we demons, we all need a suitable place to cultivate."

"If you want to establish a new sect then you require even more a suitable place to act as your base. I just so happen to know a place that is still ownerless, you might need it?"

Lin Feng's mana that was already circulating was stopped right in its tracks, getting stuck in his chest and making him nearly cough out blood from the stuffiness.

After a long while Lin Feng finally caught his breath and he asked snappily: "Where?"

Long Ye smiled saying: "You've agreed to my trade?"

Lin Feng calmed his heart and said calmly: "How do I know whether you speak the truth or lies? We've had some nasty conflicts before, you don't have the capital for me to believe me."

Long Ye rolled her eyes at him. Her expression was exceedingly charming, just like she was flirting with her lover: "If you want to increase the price then just say so."

Lin Feng was overwhelmed in his heart and only calmed his mind after a difficult struggle.

Long Ye said: "Okay then, I'll add another item. This item I can give you first and then you give me the tree leaf and then I'll tell you the location of the place and then you go check it out yourself. No matter what you don't lose, are you satisfied now?"

Lin Feng slightly furrowed his brows: "What item?"

Long Ye raised her hand, her fair palm was holding a short, intricate stone flute. The stone flute revealed an ancient and great aura.

Lin Feng's pupils slightly retracted. He said in his heart: "This aura, I seem to have encountered it somewhere before… Where?"

"That's right, this is the aura of the dao technique of the Void Temple! I've sensed it on Yang Mingyue before, this stone flute is related to the Void Temple."

Thinking here the conversation with Yan Mingyue that day instantly surfaced in Lin Feng's mind. Yang Mingyue once mentioned that there is something in Long Ye's hands that regardless of her or the Void Temple have to try and get back.

Could it be this stone flute?

Lin Feng lifted his head and looked at Long Ye. He didn't speak but from his eyes Long Ye could already understand his query. Thus she nodded her head: "That's right, this is the item Yan Mingyue is looking for. But I also do not know exactly of what importance this item has towards her and the Void Temple."

She crooked her head and looked at Lin Feng with a cute and playful expression: "Are you willing to make this trade?"

Lin Feng did not speak, seemingly weighing things out in his heart.

But in reality there was a storm raging in his heart, countless thoughts flashed by: "That day this demoness clearly bore a grudge against me, why can she act as though nothing happened now?"

Lin Feng didn't believe that this Long Ye would have a big heart and not care about old grudges.

Besides being unable to grasp Lin Feng's true strength and thus causing her to have concerns, Long Ye should also have other intentions.

For her there is more good than harm in keeping Lin Feng alive.

Where is the good? There can only be one possibility, and that is targeting Yan Mingyue and the Void Temple.

A light of understanding rose up in Lin Feng's heart. The mutual probing and repeated secret battles between him and Yan Mingyue before all landed in Long Ye's eyes. From Long Ye's point of view, keeping him alive is thus leaving behind a possibility of hindering Yan Mingyue.

"If I want to establish the number one sect in the world and become history's number one founder then I will definitely clash with the current big sects. The Void Temple stands at the very front." Lin Feng laughed helplessly in his heart: "This demoness may not know this point but she undoubtedly made a correct choice."

Thinking here a thought suddenly flashed across in Lin Feng's mind. Yan Mingyue clearly knew that he learned the Heaven Cage Sigil but she didn't do anything. Besides being unable to see the depths of his strength is it not also because she has a grudge with Long Ye?

At the time Lin Feng hoped for Yan Mingyue to go deal with Long Ye, perhaps Yan Mingyue also had the same intentions, wanting to borrow Lin Feng's hand to go deal with Long Ye.

Yan Mingyue may truly want to get back the stone flute in Long Ye's hands, but she won't necessarily fight to the death against Long Ye.

On one hand she's worried that they'll both be heavily injured or even go down together, on the other hand she very likely wants to leave behind Long Ye to conversely hinder Lin Feng.

These two woman, they really aren't easy to deal with!

But I'm not easy to bully either.

After planning things out Lin Feng made up his mind.

"After obtaining the Jade Tree of Knowledge leaf, what will you do?"

Even though he already had a plan in his heart, Lin Feng still opened his mouth and asked.

"Yan Mingyue wants to return to the Void Temple, I naturally also have my own place to return to." Long Ye smiled faintly: "I've already said before, I don't have any thoughts of bothering you anymore."

"For your own good you'd better not." Lin Feng said coolly: "I accept your trade, it's a deal."

Lin Feng believes that if Long Ye obtains the Jade Tree of Knowledge leaf then she will definitely recover a significant amount of her strength. After all her true form is a Jade Tree of Knowledge.

After completing this trade Lin Feng can also use Long Ye to go hinder Yan Mingyue.

Lin Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Them three people have fallen into this kind of bizarre and also tangled up circle of plotting. Each person hopes that the opponent in front of them can go deal with and hinder the third person.

Playing with the stone flute in his hand Lin Feng looked at Long Ye's departing figure with a thoughtful expression.

In a sense, Long Ye has essentially thrown a hot potato at Lin Feng.

If he uses it well, Lin Feng can use this stone flute to scoop up sufficient benefits from the Void Temple.

But conversely, it can also bring disaster to Lin Feng. If the number one holy land in the world ignores everything and wants to forcefully take a certain item, nobody in the entire world dares to say that they can definitely keep it.

Lin Feng pondered in his heart. Maybe the conflict that exists between Yan Mingyue and the new Daoist Wayfarer of the Void Temple is something that he can take advantage of?

"Speaking of it, what exactly does this stone flute do? Why does the Void Temple value this little thing so highly." Lin Feng scratched his head, he couldn't feel any strong mana fluctuations from the stone flute.

The little things looks to be so ordinary.

Lin Feng shook his head and retracted his thoughts: "The matter of the cultivation abode can be put back, currently the most important matter is still my fourth disciple!"

Finally, this is the last one!

Hopefully he can successfully complete it.

It will definitely be successful… right?

The capital city of the Zhou Dynasty, Tianjing, the south-east sector of the city, the House of the Marquis of Xuanji.

Inside of the courtyard stood a skinny old man. The old man held a talisman in his hand, two words were clearly printed on the talisman, a "Buddha" character and a "Yu" character.

The skinny old man creased his brows: "Huang San failed and it's related to the scum of the Buddhist sect and the Qin Dynasty's Yu clan?"

Around him stood a circle of cultivators of the house of the Marquis, but in front of this old man they were all reverent and respectful. They did not release a single sound for fear of disturbing the old man's thoughts.

This skinny old man is the second steward of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, people call him Mister Tao Er. (TL: Er, 二, means 2. San, 三, means three.)

Fatty Huang San is as venomous as a snake, there are also people who dare to call him a slave behind his back. But with Tao Er, even members of the main branch of the Zhu clan have to respectfully call him Mister Two when seeing him.

The reason for it is because this old man who looks skinny and shrivelled, like even a gust of wind could blow him down, is sufficiently strong!

Whenever the Marquis of Xuanji goes on his campaign of conquest this skinny old man will alway follow beside him. He has experienced an untold number of wars, fights, schemes and assassinations. The number of enemies who have died by his hands, just the number of aurous core stage cultivators already surpasses the double digits.

In front of him Huang San is just a child.

After a moment Mister Tao Er put away the talisman in his hand and turned around walking towards the main house in the residence.

Seeing him the guard hurriedly greeted him: "Mister Two."

Mister Tao Er nodded his head: "I need to go see the Marquis, it is an urgent matter."

The old man entered the main house and then came out after while. Facing the cultivators of the house of the Marquis waiting for him, Tao Er slowly opened his mouth, but his tone of voice was filled with an air of killing intent.

"Three things."

"One, gather up people and head towards the place Huang San and co. went missing. Search every single inch of the place, I want clues."

"Two, capture all of the already known members of the Society of the Strong Gale and the scum of the Great Thunder Monastery, don't let anyone of them escape."

"Three, come together with me and head towards the residence of the Qin Dynasty diplomatic corps to interrogate the members of the Yu clan about this matter."

Tao Er spoke slowly, every word weighed heavily: "The Marquis' original words were only two words, investigate thoroughly!"

Tianjing City a day later, a big residence in the western sector of the city, this is the residence of the Great Qin Dynasty's diplomatic corps.

In the west branch, after sending off Mister Tao Er who visited, a middle-aged man in a body of sapphire blue robes sat silently in a chair.

A young man across from him said angrily: "Zhu Hongwu is too arrogant. His subordinate goes missing and he puts the blame on us!"

The blue-robed middle-aged man glanced at him: "What do you say we should do?"

The young man answered without even thinking: "Do what? We don't do anything. What does this have to do with us, we're clearly being framed."

The blue-robed middle-aged man looked at him and sighed in disappointment.

The young man knew right away that he answered incorrectly and hurriedly lowered his head.

The blue-robed middle-aged man's expression was calm, but the words that he spoke blazed with a murderous aura: "Somebody is framing we the Yu clan and we just do nothing, just watching them frame us and pour dirty water on our bodies?"

The young man woke up: "You mean?"

The blue-robed middle-aged man snorted: "Whoever dares to mess with the Yu clan must pay for it!" He looked at the young man: "I'll hand this over to you. The House of the Marquis of Xuanji investigates theirs, we'll investigate our own. I'd like to see who dares to mess with the Yu clan!"

The young man hesitated for a moment: "But we are after all serving as envoys in the Zhou Dynasty, this place isn't our territory and we don't have enough people."

The blue-robed middle-aged man said coolly: "Just contact the main family."

His gaze was a bit deep and quiet: "It really is eventful lately, it's also not very peaceful over at the Shi clan. It's said that somebody wants to harm Shi Tianyi. During these moments we cannot fall into disorder, but even more so we cannot do nothing, like that the enemy will instead swarm over all at once."

Around the Black Cloud Underground Palace, a grey-clothed person stood in the deep mountains. He wore a massive straw hat that covered his face.

"There is the aura of sariras here. Hui Ku was here before and also fought with someone."

The grey-clothed person silently felt the change in the surrounding spiritual energy: "Fortunately the sariras were not damaged."

"Hui Ku you sect betraying scum, you dare to defile the bones of the sect elders like so. I will take back the sariras and let their souls rest in Nirvana."

"As for you this piece of scum who defiles his elders, I will send you into the cycle of reincarnation!"

Upon smelling the scent of a human, countless savage beasts gathered around the grey-clothed person.

The grey-clothed person took off the straw hat revealing a shiny bald head. A strong light surged in his eyes and when the beasts came in contact with his gaze, they all scattered in fright. Some weaker beasts were actually so frightened that they were unable to control their bladder and bowels, collapsing to the ground.

With a droop of the grey-clothed monk's eyelids the light vanished and he became ordinary again. Putting on the straw hat, his body flickered and he had already vanished within the vast woodlands.

The battle at the Black Cloud Underground Palace caused all sides to take action.

Lin Feng was unaware of this. He did not hang around the Black Cloud Underground Palace and instead brought along his disciples hitting the road.

Not sure if he already used up all of his luck before this, during his entire trip he did not encounter a fourth candidate who met the criterion as his disciple.

"Do I have to go back and find Xiao Zhener that little girl?" Lin Feng was stumped in his heart. He traversed half of the Great Zhou Dynasty's land and also passed through thousands of miles of territory of the Great Qin Dynasty but he still had no gains.

But time was rapidly flying by and in the turn of an eye only one month remained of the one year quest time limit.

Right now the master and disciples were at the southern border of the Great Qin Dynasty. Even though Lin Feng was anxious in his heart, in front of his three disciples he still maintained his composure. While travelling the master and disciples also trained.

This day Zhu Yi's cultivation had broken through a bottleneck and he was about to increase his level.

Thinking for a moment, Lin Feng left behind Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian to protect Zhu Yi while he controlled the Black Cloud Flag to wander around in the area.

Lightly shaking the flag, under the flowing black light Lin Feng opened up the void and rapidly advanced forward.

He was in the middle of flying in the void when a blanket of dazzling light suddenly lit up before Lin Feng's eyes.

Where the light vanished was a hazy mist, as if chaos was raging. Everything looked hazy and blurred.

Lin Feng was startled: "What's going on? The Black Cloud Flag broke open the void and actually brought me to an alternate space?"

Report chapter

With the flickering of the light, Lin Feng controlled the Black Cloud Flag and actually barged into an alternate space.

The space was shrouded in mist and everything was chaotic and hazy.

After the mist dispersed, what entered the eyes was a boundless void. It appeared desolate and ancient, light occasionally flickered in the darkness but it was an uncountable distance away from Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was alarmed: "What exactly is this place?" He was in the middle of being puzzled when a great mana aura permeated the surroundings and constantly expanded.

The void ruptured once more and a dazzling light once again filled Lin Feng's vision. When his vision returned to normal he had already returned to Heaven Primal, moreover it looked like his location was still at his previous flight path.

"Was I simply pulled into that void space by chance?" Lin Feng pondered. When he turned his head a face was suddenly imprinted into his eyes.

This is a large old man, he has a wide face with big ears and looks quite dignified. He was staring at Lin Feng and sizing him up, his expression was extremely perplexed.

Lin Feng's heart skipped beat and he thought of that vast mana fluctuation he felt in that void space.

No matter if it's Elder Li of the Blaze Sword Sect or Liu Yang of the Mt. Shu Sword sect, their mana may be deep and powerful, but compared to this big old man before him they are not worth mentioning.

Lin Feng had a guess in his heart, but he didn't even dare to continue thinking along that path because that would make him lose all courage.

At this moment the big old man opened his mouth and spoke. His voice was like rolling thunder: "I am Master Pubei of the Eternal Dao Sect, who are you?"

"The Eternal Dao Sect?" Lin Feng did not have any impressions in his mind. Only after checking the system did he know that this is a sect at the southern border of the Great Qin Dynasty, the master with the highest cultivation level in the sect is at the nascent soul stage.

Without a primordial soul cultivator holding down the fort, this kind of sect naturally cannot compare to the three great holy lands and the Nine Heavens Sword Alliance. But with a nascent soul stage monstrosity they could be considered a prominent sect at the southern border of the Qin Dynasty. The location of the sect is near the Qin Dynasty's most southern area the Ancient Star Domain. That place is the boundary between the human world and the demon world.

While checking information Lin Feng said: "I am a wild cultivator, just call me Daoist Lin." Not waiting for Master Pubei to open his mouth again, Lin Feng asked in advance: "Looking at your appearance you seem to be hurt?"

Master Pubei did not respond and closely observed Lin Feng for a moment again, but he still couldn't see the depths of Lin Feng's cultivation level.

Under Master Pubei's great pressure, Lin Feng felt like he was a small boat in a raging storm. Wave after wave crashed against him that could that could engulf him at any moment.

Don't mention retaliating, even if Master Pubei doesn't do anything, simply by applying mental pressure Lin Feng is unable to last for very long.

Luckily after probing for a long time Master Pubei still couldn't perceive Lin Feng's cultivation level. With doubts in his heart he retracted his mana and Lin Feng finally felt a lot better.

"That's right, I was wounded by someone in the Void Battleground. But it is not serious, I can recover after a brief period of closed-door training." Blue energy faintly flickered over Master Pubei's face, clearly the enemy had penetrated his body using ice class mana.

Lin Feng's heart stirred: "The Void Battleground?" Looks like that void world I accidently entered before is the Void Battleground.

Lin Feng has heard of the Void Battleground. That is an alternate space independent from the Heaven Primal world. It resides alone beyond the heavens and is vast in space. Even though human cultivators have always been exploring that place, there still remains many regions and areas within the Void Battleground that remain unknown.

Inside of the Void Battleground there are many cultivation resources that are scarce in the Heaven Primal world. But spatial turbulences surge within and it is extremely unstable and dangerous. Even if aurous core stage cultivators enter within it is still almost certain death.

Thus in general only great cultivators of the nascent soul stage or primordial spirit stage enter within to search for treasure. But even so, unknown dangers and interpersonal conflict cause many powerful cultivators to fall within that void.

Incidentally, the old elder of Stone Village once mentioned that Xiao Budian's father and grandfather regularly enter into the Void Battleground. In fact, it was precisely because his grandfather went missing in the Void Battleground that his parents went to go save him, thus causing Xiao Budian to suffer disaster.

This progenitor of the Eternal Dao Sect, Master Pubei, in front of him is clearly also a member of the people who enter into the Void Battleground and in the end he suffered a defeat within.

Lin Feng said nonchalantly: "The Void Battleground? There may be risk but presumably you did not walk away with empty pockets either."

Master Pubei snorted: "Just risk? The progenitor of the Mount Heng School who went in together with me directly perished within. If not for you suddenly barging in and disturbing the void thus allowing me to seize the chance to rip open a rift, this old life of mine would probably also be lost within."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and took out the Nine Transformations Blazing Spirit Pill that he got from the lottery: "Meeting is a form of fate, I see that your injury is brought about by ice mana. With your mana even though you can heal yourself, it will undoubtedly waste a lot of time."

"I just so happen to have a Nine Transformations Blazing Spirit Pill here. It has a miraculous effect in healing this type of injury, I give it to you as a gift."

Master Pubei was greatly surprised. He doesn't even need to take over the pill, with just a glance he knows that Lin Feng speaks the truth. He couldn't help but be immensely puzzled: "Why do you give it to me?" He may say that, but this old man was truly domineering and he bluntly grabbed over the pill.

Lin Feng smiled faintly: "I wanted to give it to you and so I did so. Where do all these whys come from?"

Master Pubei's eyes flashed. He laughed loudly and said: "It was I who was foolish. Okay then, I accept your kindness. If you have time I welcome you at any time to come to the Eternal Dao Sect as a guest."

Lin Feng laughed: "When I have the time." Finishing speaking he turned around and left. Master Pubei was eager to take the medicine to heal his injury and so he naturally did not ask Lin Feng to stay.

Even though Lin Feng doesn't know how much of an effect it will have, but he is still very happy to be able to obtain the favor of a nascent soul stage cultivator using a pill that he doesn't need.

Returning back to the location of his three disciples, the three people were having a lively chat.

Lin Feng asked: "What are you guys talking so happily about?"

Xiao Budian smiled saying: "Master, just now we heard someone tell a strange story. Around here there is a sect called the Mount Heng School. A couple of days ago they opened their doors for new disciples. There was a big brother who didn't pass the assessment and was unable to enter the sect. In the end he actually jumped off a cliff on Mount Heng wanting to suicide."

"He failed to kill himself and was rescued by the people of the Mount Heng School. I heard that they're going to make an exception and take him in as a registered disciple." (TL: In general it goes something like registered disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples, core disciples and direct disciple.)

At the side Zhu Yi sighed saying: "He is a persistent one and his personality is especially unyielding. But in the end he got what he wanted and his hardships were not for naught."

Xiao Yan on the other hand shook his head: "Entering into the sect like that, what can he do even if he gets a master? The elders of the sect reluctantly took him in so as to not have a reputation of driving a person to death. They definitely won't carefully teach him and his sect brothers will also mock him saying that he was only able to enter the sect due to his suicide."

Zhu Yi said: "Constantly striving to improve oneself is worth commending. I just hope that he can continue persevering or else his pressure will becoming increasingly greater.

At the beginning Lin Feng was just listening to it as a story. But as he continued listening he suddenly felt that something was a bit off: "This kid, why does he sound a bit like the main character of the trash school and mortal school of novels?" (TL: The trash school of novels is where the MC starts off as a piece of trash. Check out "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" for the mortal school.)

Lin Feng asked: "Just now you guys said that the Mount Heng School has already taken him in?"

The three disciples nodded their heads together: "They just brought him back to the sect."

Lin Feng didn't say anything more. He brought the three people and immediately headed towards the Mount Heng School. While walking he felt anxious in his heart: "Please get there on time. If I get there a step late and miss him then who do I cry to."

Report chapter

Lin Feng rushed over to Mount Heng but unfortunately he was indeed a step too late. All the new disciples were in the middle of the disciple ceremony.

The system notification sound rose up: "Discovered target suitable to becoming host's direct disciple."

Lin Feng closely scanned the crowd and confirmed that the person the system is talking about is a youth at the very back of the crowd.

That youth's figure is a bit thin and small. His lips are tightly pressed together and the other disciples beside him are all looking at him with expressions of disdain.

A string of system notifications sounded beside Lin Feng's ear.

"Talent system has finished organizing the data, target number five's data is as below."

"Bone Root - 5; Comprehension - 10; Will - 10; Blessings - 8."

"Conclusion: Target lacks innate talent but possesses great potential, recommended to take in as a disciple and carefully guide him, he will definitely become a pillar of the sect."

Lin Feng was dumbfounded.

What did he see? He actually saw two max attributes. In this kid's four data values there are actually two values that are a max value of 10.

Comprehension is one's understanding of cultivating dao techniques and abilities. Xiao Budian and Xiao Zhener both have a comprehension of 8. This means they can very quickly have a good grasp of anything they learn. The master only needs to teach them once and they themselves are able to build upon this foundation and obtain mastery.

Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi are even higher, they both have a comprehension of 9. This means that not only do they learn quickly, they can also step out of the box and make innovations.

And what does a comprehension of 10 mean? It means that he instantly grasps whatever he learns and using his own understanding, he can correct the flaws in dao techniques and skills making them reach a more perfect state.

As for a will of 10? It indicates that this person's mind and will are extremely strong, indomitable and unyielding. Nobody and nothing can defeat his spirit.

How many hundreds of millions of beings are there in the Heaven Primal world? Even a prodigy out of a million is still an astronomical number, but in the end only a very few number of them are able to truly amount to something. The reason is because if one's will is not strong enough then it is very easy to waste one's gift.

Two max attributes plus a blessing of 8 made this kid's completely garbage bone root become not so glaring.

Just as the system concluded, he lacks natural talent but possesses incredible potential. So much so that it's almost a cheat!

Seeing the disciple ceremony in progress, Lin Feng's mind rapidly turned: "What do I do, should I just mess up this disciple ceremony? This Mount Heng School is a big sect of the southern border on par with the Eternal Dao Sect, their strength is not weak…"

"According to what that Master Pubei said, the nascent soul progenitor of this Mount Heng School perished in the Void Battleground. Then the strongest master here at present should be aurous core stage, but I don't know how many aurous core stages they have. This place is the base of the Mount Heng School, they have the homeground advantage…"

Right now there only remains not even one month until the time-limit of the system quest. Lin Feng's expression was uncertain, he spent a great amount of effort to calm himself down: "So be it, I'll secretly meet with this kid for a moment and then think about it. What is his name?"

"Oh right, Wang Lin."

Lin Feng looked on as Wang Lin entered into the Mount Heng School and heard the system notification beside his ears change to: "Target matches the criterion but already has a master, needs to abolish the current master-disciple relationship to be able to become the host's disciple." Lin Feng's heart was dripping blood.

"Goddammit, just one or two days of time. If I got here one or two days earlier then that would be right when Wang Lin was rejected by the Mount Heng School and in physical and mental pain. All I'd have to do would be to go forward and fool him a bit and I'd be able to easily take him as my disciple.

Feeling any more regret doesn't help the situation, Lin Feng collected his emotions and started to make plans.

Just as Xiao Yan illustrated, entering into the Mount Heng School using this kind of method, Wang Lin will definitely be detested by his teachers, scorned by his sect-brothers and hated by all. His sense of belong to the sect will not be strong, Lin Feng still has a very good chance.

Thus Lin Feng decisively concealed himself in the Mount Heng School.

He won't and doesn't need to enter into those important places. All he has to do is find the residence for registered disciples like Wang Lin. The guard and formation restraints of this kind of place are all very lax and are not a problem for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng found his way towards Wang Lin's residence and heard a couple of Mount Heng School disciples mocking Wang Lin.

"A person like you is practically the shame of our Mount Heng School!"

"When the inner disciple exam comes around why don't go try jumping off a cliff? If you can enter into the inner-sect using suicide again than I'll say you've got some skill."

Wang Lin was silent, allowing them to mock him. The couple of people walked out of the room while cursing and speaking foul-words.

Only Wang Lin remained in the room. He let out a long breath and lowered his head muttering to himself: "Father, mother, I will definitely succeed, I will become an immortal!"

Lin Feng smiled. His body flickered and he had already arrived in the room. He smiled saying: "You can't become an immortal in this kind of environment."

Wang Lin was startled, he stared blankly at Lin Feng who suddenly appeared: "Who are you?"

Lin Feng lightly waved his sleeves, he didn't answer Wang Lin's question and instead asked: "Cultivating and seeking the universal way is a long and rugged road. There isn't much beauty and romanticism, instead there are many thorns and difficulties. In the first place your talent is worse that an average person, if you don't do your best to catch up then what hope do you have of succeeding?"

"But in this kind of sect you will only be assigned menial jobs of fetching water and cutting wood. You are called a disciple but you are actually just manual labor." Lin Feng said calmly: "Your starting point is low to begin with and your speed is even slower, how do you continue walking down this path?"

Wang Lin tightly pressed his lips together. He looked at Lin Feng before him who was wearing a white, wide-sleeved robe and daoist clothes. After a long while he opened his mouth and said: "What is your meaning?"

Lin Feng sighed softly: "I've met you before when you were just born. Your natural talent may be poor but our fates are tied together. At the time I already had thoughts of taking you as my disciple. I wanted to waited until you turned 16 before returning, but I didn't expect that you would have already entered into this Mount Heng School."

"If you are willing you can leave the Mount Heng School and enter under my teaching." Lin Feng said generously: "I will carefully guide you and teach you all of my skills and abilities. I will not be like this Mount Heng School and dishonor you by ordering you around like a labourer."

Speaking up to here Lin Feng laughed softly: "As for my ability, if you want to see it then I'll take down this Mount Heng School in an instant!"

Wang Lin looked at Lin Feng in amazement. His eyes clearly held a certain degree of fervor, his lips moved wanting to say something but he suddenly held it back.

Not only so, his gaze looking at Lin Feng even had a hint of vigilance and his right hand subconsciously went into his clothes.

Lin Feng was slightly dazed. Wang Lin expression looking at him right now was like guarding against a thief. This was not something Lin Feng foresaw.

"That action of his right hand reaching into his clothes, he seems to be trying to protect something?" A thought appeared in Lin Feng's heart and he cried out crap in his heart: "Crap, this kid's blessing is also 8 points, could he have found sort of treasure?"

That appearance of Wang Lin's, he clearly thinks that Lin Feng knows his secret and is here to trick him for his treasure.

Lin Feng wanted to cry. Looks he wasn't just a bit late, this Wang Lin's luck has clearly already started to take a turn for the better. His hegemony aura is flourishing and he is already about to walk upon the path of greatness that belongs to him. (TL: If you're wondering about the hegemony aura, read the Dragon Proud Sky page in the Almanac of Knowledge.)

Regardless of whether that is some sort of super godly item or if there is an old grandpa inside, overall Wang Lin is already about to make his rebound.

Lin Feng was depressed in his heart but on the surface his expression did not change. He stared calmly at Wang Lin: "Do you find it inconceivable? No matter, make your own decisions. I will stop in the small town at the bottom of the mountain for 20 days. If you've made up your mind you can come to the town to find me."

Under the circumstance where Wang Lin has already become wary of him, he cannot drag his feet and keep sticking to him or else he will instead arouse a negative mentality in him and he will only be even more distrustful.

Finishing speaking Lin Feng used the Cloud Dragon Escape Technique and disappeared out of sight.

Wang Lin was stunned and was slightly regretful in his heart: "Was I too paranoid?"

After going down Mount Heng Lin Feng's expression was overcast. While walking he calculated in his heart what he has to do to be able to take the bull by the horn and poach his disciple from the Mount Heng School.

"The spiritual energy of this Mount Heng School really is better than our own sect and is more suitable for cultivation." A voice suddenly travelled into Lin Feng's ears. Lin Feng's footsteps paused slightly and he hid his body, after a moment he saw two youths walking up Mount Heng.

"Not too long from now this place will be our Eternal Dao Sect's territory." The other youth snorted saying: "Our progenitor Master Pubei safely returned but the progenitor of the Mount Heng School died in the Void Battleground, everything is fate."

"Only the strong can live in a good cultivation abode, they're about to move out very soon."

Watching the figures of the two youths disappear into the mountain, Lin Feng furrowed his forehead and silently pondered.

Maybe with this sudden surprise he now has an opportunity.

In a bit a warm smile like the sun surfaced on Lin Feng's face.

"What is mine will not get away!"

Report chapter

Hearing the contents of their conversation, these two teenage cultivators should both be disciples of the Eternal Dao Sect whom Master Pubei belongs to.

Not long after they climbed the mountain they said their farewells and left. Afterwards some meddlesome disciples on Mount Heng spread word that the Eternal Dao Sect will be visiting in a few days. Disciples from the two sects will spar and test their skills.

The Eternal Dao Sect and the Mount Heng School are relatively close to each other geographically, for the past thousand years the two sects have given each other mutual aid, guarding together against outside forces and demon invasion. But at the same time they have also been secretly competing with each other, disciples often battle with disciples of the other sect and both sides have their wins and losses.

But with this time's competition Lin Feng clearly sensed a different atmosphere.

The Mount Heng School's nascent soul stage progenitor died in the Void Battleground but the Eternal Dao Sect's Master Pubei returned safely.

And it just so happens that the Mount Heng School's base is better than theirs. Right now the Mount Heng School that has lost a nascent soul stage progenitor holding down the fort is like a three year old child holding a gold bar.

Due to the southern border of the Qin Dynasty being bordered on demon territory, humans and demons are in constant war causing countless mountains and cultivation abodes abundant in spiritual energy to lay in waste. Thus a blessed spot beneficial towards cultivation is enough to make everybody fight over it.

The Mount Heng School is occupying a treasure ground like Mount Heng but unfortunately does not have a nascent soul stage cultivator holding down the fort, this will will probably draw the greed of all the cultivation sects at the southern border.

And the Eternal Dao Sect which is the closest one and at the same time also the one who got news first will undoubtedly seize the initiative.

In front of a superior cultivation abode that can be used as the thousand year foundation of the sect, that bit of friendship in the past is completely useless.

Maybe Master Pubei doesn't want to completely turn hostile against them which is why in the sparring between the disciples this time the Eternal Dao Sect will very likely have some sort of special movements.

For example, adding a prize and betting each other's bases?

In a short period of time countless thoughts flashed by in Lin Feng's mind. He had a faint feeling in his heart that his Nine Transformations Blazing Spirit Pill might have also played a key role in the development of this matter.

Without the Nine Transformations Blazing Spirit Pill and Master Pubei returning injured from the Void Battleground, the first thing to do would definitely be to enter closed-door training to heal. Only after healing his injury would he then scheme for the Mount Heng School's base and who knows when that would be.

It could be a few days or a couple of months, maybe even dozens of years.

Lin Feng sighed: "Every bite and every sip is preordained, it really is a mysterious fate. Originally I only wanted curry favor with that nascent soul stage progenitor but who would have thought that I ended up helping myself."

Whether or not it can provide help isn't certain yet. The Mount Heng School disciples who spread the news only know that the Eternal Dao Sect will be visiting in a few days but they don't know the specific time. And Lin Feng only has one month of time left, if the Eternal Dao Sect comes after two or three months then it will be too late.

"I still have to make some preparations." Lin Feng controlled the Black Cloud Flag and flew in the air: "If there really is no other choice then I'll have to go and capture him. In any case that Mount Heng School doesn't know Wang Lin's potential and doesn't value him. If I capture him they won't necessarily take things seriously.

Returning to his three disciples Lin Feng still appeared calm and relaxed but he was busily making preparations in secret.

In the middle of the night Lin Feng was sitting cross-legged, slowly doing his breathing technique. The surrounding spiritual energy rapidly gathered with his body as the center and was absorbed into his body, charging at a hidden meridian point.

When a meridian point is unlocked, spiritual energy that is absorbed will be rapidly converted to mana and stored within the meridian point. Like this the cultivator's mana will obtain a considerable advance.

This is a meticulous job that requires the cultivator to persevere doing dull breathing techniques and refining spiritual energy to breakthrough one's bottleneck.

The energy in the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade has already been depleted. Lin Feng can only cultivate according to the regular path. The cultivation speed these couple of month has slowed down and is not as fast is before. After successfully advancing to qi disciple level 11 it came to a standstill.

But even though the speed is slow, Lin Feng is not worried. He knows that before his steps were too large and his foundation was a bit too unstable. His speed may have slown down for these few months but his steps are firm and he can clearly feel that he is more adept in the usage of mana.

Through a long period of honing Lin Feng has already reached the peak of qi disciple level 11. Right now he is tackling the very last meridian point.

Under his unremitting efforts the final meridian point was finally unlocked. The spiritual energy that was originally unmoving and built up here instantly poured downward like a flooded dam, entering into the withered meridian point and forming a massive spiral.

The rotation of the spiritual energy became faster and faster, the spiritual energy at the center was being constantly converted to mana and nourishing Lin Feng's body.

Different from before where things were over after filling it with mana, Lin Feng continued to consecutively swallow multiple Energy Recovery Pills that recover mana. He constantly pushed the mana in his body, forming a massive cycle in his entire body!

The 12 meridian points were all unlocked and connected as one. The mana stored in the meridian points was no long isolated like bodies of dead water as before, instead they turned into a surging river, constantly circulating in Lin Feng's body.

Lin Feng exhaled a long breath and suddenly released a loud shout that echoed like a tiger's roar and dragon's cry.

His voice was covered by the mana ward of the Black Cloud Flag and was unable to travel out of the room, but Lin Feng's heart was very satisfied.

At this moment with the twelve levels all unlocked, Lin Feng has reached the great circle of perfection of qi disciple level 12, the peak of the qi disciple stage.

Lin Feng pushed open the room door, his face revealed a satisfied smile. He said in his heart: "In cultivating dao techniques, the higher one's level the slower the progress. Even though I had the help of the system and started directly from qi disciple level 4, but reaching the great circle of perfection of qi disciple level 12 in less than one year is still pretty fast, right?"

"Could it that I'm actually a prodigy too?"

He was in the middle of thinking when his three disciples greeted him. Lin Feng smiled and said in a happy mood: "How is the cultivation going? Is there anything you guys don't understand?"

Xiao Yan: "I just wanted to tell master. Last night I saw the moon rise and the sun set, the stars glittered in the sky. As I watched I had a faint insight into a type of incredibly profound principle of the martial way. After pondering for the night I came up with a martial skill and I just wanted master to review it. In addition, the bottleneck in the level of my dao technique seems to also have loosened due to this and I think that I can breakthrough it very soon"

The corner of Lin Feng's lips twitched. Dude, you're already qi disciple level 9. If you advance again then that is qi disciple level 10. If I remember correctly you used four years of time in the past before reaching the great circle of perfection of qi disciple?

Zhu Yi: "If I may speak master, last night I was strolling in the mountain and chanced upon a strange flower. Spiritual energy overflowed from it and it was covered in golden light. It does not seem like an ordinary item . I did not dare to take liberty and specially brought it back for master to take care of it."

Lin Feng expressionlessly took over the spiritual flower. Through searching the system he learned that this flower is called a Three-Leaf Orchid, it is precisely the main material for that pill which aids people in breaking through their bottlenecks, the Barrier Breaking Pill!

Xiao Budian: "Master, master, I advanced to qi disciple level 10! Uh, I somehow just randomly did so… I don't really know what happened."

Lin Feng was speechless, his eyes looked towards the heavens at a 45 degree angle. He felt like something slid by in the corners of his eyes…

"Coach, I also want a marriage annulment!"

"Coach, I also want an abusive father!"

"Coach, is it too late for me to start drinking animal milk right now?"

Sending off his three disciples in depression, Lin Feng returned to the room. After sitting blankly for a moment he took out a ring from his clothed.

It was precisely that ring sealing the remnant soul of the tao tie. Before Lin Feng was afraid of the tao tie so he was constantly reinforcing the Heaven Cage Sigil to seal her, in the end he was practically about to forget that there was still this matter.

He just used the ring to practise the Heaven Cage Sigil when he had nothing to do. After finishing practising he threw it to the back of his mind.

But now he's changed his mind. If he really does go to the Mount Heng School to capture Wang Lin, if the aurous core stage cultivators want to take things seriously then Lin Feng needs even more cards in his hands.

Right now he wants to unite and mobilize all power of use.

Report chapter

Besides the Mount Heng School, Lin Feng is well aware that even though he doesn't know whether it is a godly item or old grandpa, it is certain that Wang Lin still has a big golden leg to hug. This is also Lin Feng's job competitor.

Lin Feng's mind entered into the ring. Inside of a cage weaved together by pillars of light in the dark space sat a little girl. She had two pigtails and looked like a cute little doll.

The little loli was sitting in complete boredom and constantly grumbling: "So hungry, so hungry…"

The corner of Lin Feng's lips twitched: "This glutton."

Seeing Lin Feng the little loli wrinkled her cute little nose, she turned her head with a "Humph" and didn't look at him.

The little girl's behaviour was a bit childish but Lin Feng did not dare to take her lightly. In a sense, the level of danger of this savage beast cub who looks like a loli is in no way inferior to an aurous core stage cultivator.

Because currently Lin Feng can only use the Heaven Cage Sigil to trap her but is unable to completely kill her.

Pushing the power of the 24 Arhat Heaven Formation may do the trick, but it's not a hundred percent guarantee.

With caution in his heart Lin Feng still had a smiling face on the surface: "Little girl, are you used to living here?"

Hearing Lin Feng ask this the tao tie cub instantly scowled and wanted to explode at him. Only after taking a close look at the light cage around her did she grudgingly hold back her anger and release a heavy snort: "Stay in here for half a year and you'll naturally know what it feels like."

Pausing for a moment the little girl still couldn't resist asking: "I say, it's one thing to imprison me here, at least give me some food, I really am so hungry!"

Lin Feng thought in his heart, if I let you devour mana and spiritual energy, after you recover your strength I won't be able to imprison you anymore.

Even though she's been imprisoned by the Heaven Cage Sigil the entire time, Lin Feng did not torture or weaken her. She may not have eaten this whole time, but the mana that she originally had has not disappeared. It is impossible for her to starve to death.

The hunger that she feels may be real, but that is entirely due to the tao tie's glutinous nature.

Lin Feng said with a smile: "The amount of time that we've known each other now is not short and I still don't know your name?"

The little loli rolled her eyes: "Why should I tell you?"

Lin Feng didn't get mad. He said with a smile: "There's something good in it for you if you tell me, such as, food…"

The tao tie cub's eyes instantly lit up and her face lit up with pleasure: "Really?"

"Really, but the precondition is that you have to speak the truth." Lin Feng extended a finger and flicked a pole of the cage, his voice turned cold: "If you dare to fool me you know the consequence."

The little loli retracted her neck: "Since I was little my parents both called me Tun Tun." (TL: 吞吞, tun tun, her name basically means swallow/devour.)

"Tun… Tun?" Lin Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This name really is high-class, it really couldn't be more fitting.

Tun Tun swallowed her saliva: "Is there food?"

Lin Feng calculated things out. The Heaven Cage Sigil that he set up when he was at qi disciple level 7 could already trap Tun Tun at her current strength, giving her a little taste of sweetness can't hurt. But he has to control the amount to ensure that that his qi disciple level 12 strength can still seal her.

After finishing his calculations Lin Feng threw some pills towards Tun Tun.

Tun Tun did not hesitate and was truly like her name. Opening up her little mouth she swallowed them all in one go. After she finished eating she smacked her lips: "It's too little, it's not even enough to fill the gaps of my teeth."

Lin Feng smiled slightly: "This is just the beginning, as long as you're good there's a lot more where that came from."

Tun Tun's eyes flashed and she was instead not so keen anymore: "You human, what do you want to do?"

Lin Feng smiled saying: "The sword aura of that old geezer from the Blaze Sword Sect last time, did it taste good?"

Tun Tun became furious: "You want to trick me again into being your shield?"

"You can only blame yourself for having too small of an appetite, you're blaming me for getting stuffed?" Lin Feng was completely calm: "But don't worry, after that time I have an approximate idea of the limit of your appetite. I will take note to control the amount next time I find food for you."

Lin Feng smiled like the wolf grandma tricking Little Red Riding Hood: "You better think carefully, besides this method there isn't another way to fill that little stomach of yours."

Tun Tun's face was uncertain, Lin Feng's words were like the tempting words of the devil from hell: "Think about it, being hungry is such a painful thing. Your heart feels so flustered, like somebody is scratching at it with a tiny claw…"

Tun Tun shuddered. She felt helpless in her heart, right now she is at his complete mercy and is completely in Lin Feng's control.

"F, fine." Tun Tun agreed helplessly.

Man dies for wealth and tao ties die for food… (TL: Replace tao tie with bird and you get the original saying. A lot funnier if you know the original saying.)

Hearing this Lin Feng laughed weirdly, just like a creepy uncle who successfully tricked a little loli to go see goldfish. (TL: Go to the bottom of the page for a new Chinese meme lesson.)

Working things out with Tun tun, Lin Feng's mood became a lot better: "I'm already at qi disciple level 12, next up is foundation establishment."

Foundation establishment is establishing one's dao root. Different from the qi disciple stage being split into 12 levels, the foundation establishment stage is only split into three levels generally referred to as foundation establishment early stage, foundation establishment mid-stage and foundation establishment late stage. Sometimes they are also called the three realms; qi ocean, spirit tower and core furnace based on their traits.

Foundation establishment early stage, the cultivator establishes a qi ocean. Their mana is as vast and boundless as the sea and is far superior to qi disciple stage cultivators in terms of the total amount.

The cultivators of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji that Lin Feng met before in the Black Cloud Underground Palace were all foundation establishment early stage. The five people of the Five Elements Sect with the yellow-clothed old man as the leader and that purple fine-clothed middle-aged man were all qi ocean realm cultivators.

Foundation establishment mid-stage, the cultivator forges a spirit tower using the boundless mana in the qi ocean. This spirit tower is the true foundation of a cultivator's dao technique. A thousand story building rises from the ground. Forming the aurous core in the future and hatching the nascent soul all starts from here.

Elder Ye Ge of the Celeritas Sword Sect who brought Murong Yanran to the Xiao Clan to break off the engagement, Mr, Vulture, the white-clothed scholar and the black-clothed swordsman who attacked big monk Hui Ku are all foundation establishment mid-stage, spirit tower realm cultivators.

As for foundation establishment late stage, that is refining a core furnace above the spirit tower. Compared to spirit tower realm cultivators, core furnace realm cultivators simply have slightly more refined mana. The difference in fighting strength is not big.

But refining the core furnace is the most important process of the foundation establishment stage, because the core furnace will directly determine the success of a cultivator forming their aurous core. Whether or not one can tackle higher stages after aurous core depends all on the quality of the core furnace.

Big monk Hui Ku whom Lin Feng killed and robbed the sariras from was actually already foundation establishment late stage, a core furnace realm cultivator. Due to the Art of Acala dao technique he practised being flawed he was unable to form his aurous core and break through to the next stage. This is also the reason why he was so obsessed with Xiao Yan.

The foundation establishment stage may only be split into three realms, but there is still a difference of strength between cultivators of the same level. This is because spirit towers are split into 9 grades, grade 1 is the best and grade 9 is the worst.

By extension one can obtain a core furnace from grade 1 to grade 9. There is a great difference between each grade and an even greater difference is displayed in the future after forming the aurous core. There will also be a difference in the quality of the aurous core. The core furnace directly determines a cultivator's cultivation potential in the future.

Refining a grade 9 core furnace above a grade 9 spirit tower, being able to form an aurous core is already a massive fortune. As for the quality of the aurous and advancing stages in the future, don't even think about it.

As for refining a grade 1 core furnace above a grade 1 spirit tower, after the cultivator advances to the aurous core stage they will definitely have a promising future.

Why did Xiao Budian suffer disaster in the past? It was because he was born with a qi ocean and above the qi ocean stood a sovereign spirit tower that is above a grade 1 spirit tower!

Erecting a sovereign core furnace above a sovereign spirit tower, the aurous core formed will inevitably be the very best. Don't mention aurous core stage, nascent soul and even primordial spirit are all within sight.

Lin Feng thought: "Xiao Budian's bone root is still a max value of 10. When he opens his qi ocean in the future and erects his spirit tower can he still obtain a sovereign spirit tower?"

While thinking Lin Feng pushed open the room doors and walked out of the room. He saw that his three disciples were all in the courtyard and their gazes were looking towards the distant horizon together.

Seeing Lin Feng come out the three people hurriedly greeted him. After greeting him Lin Feng asked them what they are looking at. Xiao Yan responded saying: "Master, just now a giant centipede that was a whole hundred meters long flew by in the sky. Many human figures could be faintly seen on top of the centipede and it headed in that direction."

Following the direction of his finger and looking over, Lin Feng's eyes flashed.

"That direction is the location of the Mount Heng School, could it be that the people of the Eternal Dao Sect have arrived?"

Welcome back to Chinese Meme Time. Today we will be talking about the origin behind "Uncle will take you to see goldfishes." This phrase originates from a crime in Hong Kong. For the purpose of abduction, a middle-aged man raised some goldfish on a rooftop and would say to little girls: "Little girl, how's about uncle take you to go see goldfishes?" After taking them to the rooftop he would then find the opportunity to rape them. Afterwards people used "Goldfish man" to represent men with pedophilia and even expressing men who engage in chat with young girls while carrying evident deceitful purpose, especially old men.

After settling down his three disciples, Lin Feng shook the Black Cloud Flag and flew in the direction of Mount Heng by himself.

From far away he could see a thousand-legged centipede in the sky that was a whole hundred meters long. This centipede was completely black, thunder rumbled as it flew while stepping on black clouds. It circled above Mount Heng and seemed to be showing off.

Afterwards a violet sword aura rose into the sky from the highest summit of Mount Heng, it turned into a dragon shaped light figure in the air and roared at the centipede.

Only then did the centipede retract its arrogance, carrying the cultivators of the Eternal Dao Sect on its back and landing on Mount Heng.

The majority of people of the Mount Heng School all had their attention attracted by the centipede, Lin Feng very easily found his way up the mountain again.

The leader of the Eternal Dao Sect is a white-bearded old man, his cultivation level is foundation establishment mid-stage and he looks very friendly. He released bursts of laughter: "Fellow daoist, this time a lot of disciples with good potential have appeared in your Mount Heng School."

The Mount Heng School's nascent soul stage progenitor headed towards the Void Battleground and no news has been heard from him for hundreds of years. The aurous core stage cultivators in the school are all in closed-door training. Currently the head of the Mount Heng School is a middle-aged foundation establishment mid-stage cultivator.

Towards the white-bearded old man's compliment, the head of the Mount Heng School was very modest. The atmosphere between both sides was very harmonious.

Lin Feng on the other hand sneered in secret, he knows that this harmonious and friendly atmosphere won't last for long.

The Eternal Dao Sect is a visitor from afar and were first arranged to rest in the guest rooms. Three days later the exchange competition between the disciples of both sects will officially start.

The disciples participating in the competition are basically all at the qi disciple stage. Since arriving in this world, the dao techniques and skills Lin Feng has encountered are all of relatively high level, thus Lin Feng could not muster up any interest in the spells and martial skills used in the competition between the disciples of the two sects.

Half of his energy was used to hide his whereabouts, the other half was placed on Wang Lin.

Currently Wang Lin has only entered the school for a few days, and he is also just a registered disciples. There is nobody teaching him dao techniques and all he does on the mountain is manual labour.

But Lin Feng actually sensed a faint spiritual energy fluctuation from Wang Lin's body. Even though it is very weak and he is still a far way from qi disciple level 1, but Wang Lin does indeed have signs of starting to channel energy into his body.

Lin Feng was greatly surprised: "Wang Lin does indeed possess astounding potential, but his bone root is after all a bit poor, even below the regular standard. He belongs to the type who rises up later on, he shouldn't be making progress so quickly at the start of his cultivation?"

Right now Wang Lin was following well-behaved behind a middle-aged cultivator and seriously watching the competition that had already started on the stage. Inside of the crowd he was completely unassuming.

Lin Feng shifted his gaze over from Wang Lin to the middle-aged cultivator: "He actually has a master? Then it's this person who taught him dao techniques, but he still shouldn't be so quick." This middle-aged cultivator himself is just at qi disciple level 8. Still being at this level in his middle ages means that this person pretty much has no potential left to tap into. In his life being able to successfully reach foundation establishment is pretty much the end.

"Looks like Wang Lin really did obtain a certain miraculous encounter. If it's not some sort of godly artifact or super dao technique than it's an old grandpa." Lin Feng's face became dark. This time not only did he get beaten by the Mount Heng School, even the position of old grandpa was robbed from him.

Lin Feng calculated in his heart, if he didn't guess wrong, the Eternal Dao Sect with Master Pubei backing them up will most likely take the Mount Heng School's base. Due to this the Mount Heng School's reputation will drop drastically and the sect cohesiveness will definitely drop too.

Wang Lin who was originally not valued and now also has his own miraculous encounter might leave the Mount Heng School due to this.

Adding that right now he looks so unassuming, Master Pubei and the Eternal Dao Sect most likely won't care about him either.

Lin Feng's greatest competitor is that old grandpa who came out of nowhere.

"Wonder how much strength that old bastard still has?" Lin Feng exhaled a long breath, he's already made up his mind.

Fight the old grandpa and steal Wang Lin!

This disciple is his.

Currently the competition between the disciples of both sects has already become very intense. One Mount Heng Sect disciple had the upper hand, forcing the disciple of the Eternal Dao Sect to use a magic item like a yellow paper to withstand him.

Two beams of white light flew out from the Mount Heng School disciple's sleeves. They rapidly flew in a circle in the air and then struck towards the opponent at a lightning fast speed.

The Eternal Dao Sect disciple let out a rueful laugh. All of his energy was focused on withstanding the opponent's previous attack, he doesn't have any energy left to block this second attack.

Right at this moment. Somebody in the crowd of Eternal Dao Sect disciples below the stage suddenly released a cold snort. Afterwards a black beam of light charged out, intercepting the two beams of white light in the air and grinding them to pieces.

The people of the Mount Heng School all yelled in anger. That Eternal Dao Sect disciple laughed coldly and jumped onto the stage. Looking at the Mount Heng School disciples below the stage he said in arrogance: "All of the qi disciple stage disciples of the Mount Heng School come at me all at once, I alone am enough!"

The expressions of the elders of the Mount Heng School also darkened, together they looked towards the leader of the Eternal Dao Sect the white-bearded old man.

The old man stroked his beard and released a dry cough saying: "Let's decided the winner with one person this time. If there is a person among your Mount Heng School disciples who can last for 10 seconds and not lose than we'll call it the win of the Mount Heng School!"

He paused for a moment before saying with a grin: "There is something that I want to take advantage of this opportunity to say. If we the Eternal Dao Sect win today's competition, than besides those prizes from before you also have to add another one. You have to lend this Mount Heng to us the Eternal Dao Sect for 500 years!"

Hearing his words, Lin Feng silently laughed: "It's here, it's coming!"

The faces of all of the cultivators of the Mount Heng School turned slightly green. The head of the Mount Heng School narrowed his eyes: "Fellow daoist, are you joking?"

The white-bearded old man smiled but didn't respond. He turned towards that arrogant disciple on the stage: "Release the talisman."

Hearing this the person opened up his shirt, revealing a talisman. Taking off the talisman his mana instantly surged, revealing a strength of the great circle of perfection of the qi disciple stage.

But even more eye-catching was still that talisman, upon seeing it all of the foundation establishment stage cultivators of the Mount Heng School revealed expressions of shock.

The white-bearded old man said coolly: "Fellow daoist, you can see that the mana on this talisman is unable to be created by anyone other than a nascent soul stage progenitor. Truthfully speaking, out Eternal Dao Sect progenitor Master Pubei has returned from the Void Battleground… He brought back news, the two progenitors of your Mount Heng School have both died."

"For old times sake we the Eternal Dao Sect did not take away your base by force or trickery and instead gave the Mount Heng School a last bit of consideration. In this competition if the Mount Heng School wins then this matter ends here. I've already brought the message, fellow daoist Huang Long, let the competition continue!"

Reality shows that at the moment, the Mount Heng School's strongest qi disciple stage disciple is only qi disciple level 10. Even a bunch of people together aren't a match for that qi disciple great circle of perfection Eternal Dao Sect disciple.

Lin Feng laughed very unscrupulously. It vaguely occurred to him that if not for his Nine Transformations Blazing Spirit Pill helping Master Pubei heal his injury in advance, this exchange competition might not have been conducted so early.

If this exchange competition wasn't brought ahead of schedule, this exchange competition could very well have become little buddy Wang Lin's first novice village battle on his path towards greatness.

At the moment where his sect-brothers are completely overshadowed and the enemy is extremely arrogant and domineering, he goes up and slaps the enemy down. Thereby stunning the audience and from then on stepping upon the right path that belongs to him.

Mm, what a perfect script?

But right now the competition has been conducted in advance and Wang Lin is only at the energy channeling stage, he hasn't even reached qi disciple level 1 yet. How can he display his awesomeness and turn the tides?

Sure enough, in this exchange competition the Mount Heng School lost without any surprise. The disciples of the Mount Heng School watched bitterly and in anger at the Eternal Dao Sect leave.

The news of their nascent soul stage progenitors deaths weighed especially heavily on their hearts like a massive boulder.

Wang Lin was mixed in the crowd, his expression was enraged and frustrated, but he couldn't do anything.

His gaze was very complicated. He subconsciously reached into his clothes, in his heart his desire for strength became increasingly stronger.

With hopes of what if, the Mount Heng School did not move out right away. But what awaited them was instead despair.

Five days later, rolling black clouds covered the peak of Mount Heng. A voice like rolling thunder sounded in the sky.

"I am Master Pubei, all of the juniors of the Mount Heng School come out!"

Report chapter

Black clouds gathered above Mount Heng, a small pitch-black mountain suddenly appeared in the air. It grew with the wind and instantly turned into a towering peak.

Following Master Pubei's spell sign, that massive mountain immediately smashed downwards. A screen of light like an upside-down bowl appeared over Mount Heng, protecting the Mount Heng School and withstanding the barrage of the giant mountain.

But following Master Pubei constantly applying force, the Mount Heng School's protective formation without a same-levelled nascent soul stage progenitor holding down the fort had already becoming increasingly weaker. It was crumbling and about to be breached.

Lin Feng had already went down the mountain, watching this amazing scene from far away his face was also a bit pale: "Nascent soul stage cultivators are truly powerful. The difference in level is too big, any amount of plotting is futile."

He looked at the protective formation of the Mount Heng School and also felt a bit lucky in his heart: "This formation is truly extraordinary, resisting again a nascent soul stage cultivator for so long. If I went to capture Wang Lin I definitely wouldn't be able to force my way in. Instead of saying "capture", "steal" would be a bit more appropriate."

At the same time, it also occurred to Lin Feng that after he creates his sect, his primary objective is to first get his hands on a protective formation that can protect his base, this is the basic foundation.

That Mount Heng School's protective formation may be tough, but without a nascent soul stage cultivator sitting center it was ultimately unable to withstand Master Pubei's assault. Under a series of barrages, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the light screen, spreading in all directions.

"Break!" Master Pubei shouted. The giant mountain pressed downward, directly dropping three inches. All of Mount Heng trembled and in the sound of rumbling, rocks tumbled and dust flew. The massive mountain was actually forced down dozens of meters into the earth.

At this moment the Mount Heng School's protective formation was finally unable to hang on. It released the sound of a mirror breaking and the entire light screen instantly fell to pieces, vanishing out of sight.

Lin Feng sighed, he knows that the Mount Heng School is completely hopeless now.

Master Pubei's domineering voice travelled over from the sky: "Your Mount Heng School's two nascent soul stage progenitors have both died in the Void Battleground. You guys are unable to guard this Mount Heng, instead of letting it be stolen by someone else, it would be better to give it to the Eternal Dao Sect."

"Besides people, you guys can't take anything else with you. Another word and I don't mind wiping out the Mount Heng School!"

"In addition, right now the Eternal Dao Sect is recruiting disciples. If there are people amongst you guys who want to join, you can stay on the spot."

Lin Feng shook his head. This Master Pubei really is ruthless, he wants to dig up the foundation of the Mount Heng School.

The two aurous core stage elders of the Mount Heng School were both blue in the face, but they could only keep everything in their stomachs and leave Mount Heng bringing along the few disciples willing to follow the school.

Lin Feng didn't care about anybody else, all of his attention was on Wang Lin. Looking from far away, he saw that Wang Lin did not stay behind and instead left the mountain together with the Mount Heng School.

Lin Feng resolutely followed over. The two aurous core stage cultivators used their escape technique, their bodies turning into arcs of light and carrying the group of disciples willing to leave. They flew in the air for a long time before landing on a barren mountain.

Such a massive Mount Heng School, yet only a mere 20 or so people were willing to follow the school. With just a couple of small fry they looked very miserable.

The two aurous core cultivators looked at each other. Their mouths were bitter but they still had to force themselves raise their spirits and encourage everybody. They didn't dare to allow the last bit of people to scatter.

Lin Feng silently crept up the mountain. He saw the two aurous core stage cultivators in the middle of meditating. They were clearly making up for the mana expended while maintaining the formation before, three foundation establishment stage cultivators were guarding beside them.

The rest of the qi disciple stage disciples were scattered in groups around the mountain. Some people were working hard training while others were cursing and complaining.

Wang Lin was sent to go get water for everybody. He went alone walking towards the small stream in the distance.

Lin Feng chuckled and was about to follow behind him, but when his feet had just moved Lin Feng's movements suddenly stopped.

Because he discovered that someone else was also silently following behind Wang Lin, and was paying attention not to make any noises, afraid of alerting the others.

This person was precisely that middle-aged cultivator who was suspected to be Wang Lin's master. In his eyes staring at Wang Lin, a cold light faintly flickered.

Lin Feng's eyebrows slightly raised, it looks like he isn't the only one who has his mind on Wang Lin.

"I should just kill you while I'm at it and just perfectly get rid of your master-disciple relationship." Lin Feng laughed coldly and followed over.

Wang Lin arrived beside the stream. He turned his head looking around for a moment and didn't discover anyone.

But he didn't know that the middle-aged cultivator was not far away behind him and Lin Feng followed closely behind him.

The two stalkers bother paid attention to restrain and hide their bodies and aura. Wang Lin who isn't even qi disciple level 1 naturally couldn't discover them.

After not discovering anyone behind him, Wang Lin crouched beside that stream and starred in a trance at the flowing stream.

The great change occurred too suddenly, making him a bit flustered. Essentially, he is still just a simple youngster, today is his first time experiencing the law of the jungle in the cultivation world.

This feeling made him feel constrained and desire powerful strength even more urgently to let him be able to do something and not be like when the great change occurred, a powerless weed that no one cares about.

Wang Lin took out a grey stone bead the size of a baby's fist from his shirt and said in his heart: "This thing might be the key to changing my fate."

That day he was rejected by the Mount Heng School and he jumped off the cliff to kill himself due to unstable emotions, but he inadvertently obtained this stone bead.

Subtle spiritual energy travelled into Wang Lin's body from the stone bead, healing the heavy injury created from him falling from the cliff. Wang Lin instantly realized that this stone bead wasn't a normal item.

This is why that day Wang Lin was suspicious in his heart when Lin Feng visited him, he thought that Lin Feng had discovered the secret of the stone bead and came for the stone bead.

After Wang Lin entered into the Mount Heng School, he was taught some most basic dao techniques. But when he was unable to grasp the essentials, it was the stone bead that once again channeled spiritual energy into his body. Afterwards Wang Lin discovered that he could actually successfully channel energy into his body, this strengthened Wang Lin's judgement even more.

This stone bead is definitely a treasure.

The Eternal Dao Sect has a lot of people and their situation is complex. It was precisely to guard the secret of the stone bead that Wang Lin chose to stay in the Mount Heng School.

Seeing that stone bead, Lin Feng's eyes turned cold. He grinded his teeth: "You're the bastard…"

While the eyes of the middle-aged cultivator on the other side lit up, his face lighting up with pleasure: "I knew you had a secret on you, you little brat. Haha, god bless me, bestowing this treasure upon me."

Sun Xiaozhu revealed himself. Wang Lin was horrified, turning his head and seeing Sun Xiaozhu, his expression instantly turned pale.

"Good disciple, let me see that stone bead." Sun Xiaozhu walked over towards Wang Lin while chuckling. Wang Lin's fist holding the stone bead slowly tightened, he said in a low voice: "Master, this is just a regular marble, I'm just playing with it for fun."

Sun Xiaozhu sneered and suddenly slapped Wang Lin to the ground: "You still dare to fool me? With your garbage aptitude, there must be a special reason to you being able to channel energy into you body after entering the school for only a few days. If it wasn't to determine the secret on your body, you think I would take a piece of trash like you as my disciple?"

Wang Lin lay on the ground, his body curling into a ball and tightly hiding the stone bead in his embrace.

He tightly pressed his lips, not saying anything. His face was filled with an unyielding spirit.

Sun Xiaozhu laughed coldly saying: "After obtaining a rare treasure you don't think of offering it to your master and actually dare to keep it for yourself? Be a good boy and give the item to me or else you'll be in a lot of pain!"

"Nice job!" At the side Lin Feng was cracking his knuckles, hurriedly adjusting his clothes and preparing to make his appearance: "Your actions will perfectly compliment my majesty, thanks bro!"

Lin Feng was just about to walk out when Wang Lin who was on the ground suddenly released a low cry. He then saw black smoke rise up from the stone bead in his embrace. It formed a human figure in the air who laughed in a strange manner.

Lin Feng practically tripped over his own feet. He hurriedly stood still, grinding his teeth and staring at the human figure in mid-air: "Holy fuck, you really do have an old grandpa?"

Even though Lin Feng was grinding his teeth in hate, but at any rate he at least had mental preparation. Wang Lin and Sun Xiaozhu on the other hand were completely dumbfounded.

Black smoke constantly rose up from the stone bead, forming a human figure in the air who released a grating laughter in a hoarse voice.

Lin Feng closely looked over, seeing that the human figure had the appearance of an old man. His demeanor was arrogant and overbearing.

"A puny qi disciple stage ant dares to covet my treasure? What a joke!"

The old man's laughter was very bold, but Lin Feng sensed a heavy aura of malice and savagery between his brows.

This old geezer is definitely ruthless and diabolical, he isn't a good guy.

Lin Feng's eyes flashed. He didn't rush to make a move and instead prepared to patiently observe for a while to get to know his opponent.

But Sun Xiaozhu did not have such control, he cursed saying: "What stray ghost are you, you dare to act so impudent?" While speaking he brought his palms together and formed a spell sign.

With the surging of his mana, a beam of golden light flew out from his waist and struck towards the old man.

The old man laughed coldly. He pointed his finger and a stream of black mist gushed out, blocking the golden light.

"Watch me break your evil magic." The spell sign in Sun Xiaozhu's hands changed consecutively. When the golden light was about to come in contact with the black mist, it suddenly exploded open, turning into a flurry of golden light and landing in the black mist like a storm.

For a moment golden light flashed, piercing the black mist full of holes.

At the side, Lin Feng watched Sun Xiaozhu who was beaming with joy, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "Who do you think you're facing?"

Sure enough, floating in mid-air, that old man's expression did not change at the slightest.

The black mist suddenly started to spiral, as if a massive vortex. The golden rain drops were very quickly swallowed by the vortex, unable to make another splash.

Sun Xiaozhu's expression changed greatly, his face turned deathly pale. After holding it in for a while he was still unable to hold it back, a mouthful of blood spraying out.

At this time how could he not know the old man's power. He pointed at Wang Lin and hissed: "Traitor, you dare to collaborate with this heretic to plot against your own master. We the Mount Heng School cannot tolerate a traitor like you. Today I expel you from the school!"

"Target has resolved the original master-disciple relationship, host can now take the target as disciple."

Hearing the system notification in his mind, Lin Feng stared a bit blankly at Sun Xiaozhu: "Holy shit, it's that simple?"

Wang Lin is just a registered disciple of the Mount Heng School, placed under Sun Xiaozhu's door. As long as Sun Xiaozhu this master resolves the master-disciple relation then he does not need the permission of the Mount Heng School."

If not that Lin Feng was still able to maintain his reason, he wished that he could instantly hug Sun Xiaozhu and kiss him.

This guy is family!

Sun Xiaozhu still doesn't know exactly what meaning his actions just now possess. Right now there was only one thought in his head: "There's no way for me to pocket it anymore, I can only escape back and find the seniors of the school to subdue this demon."

"Wang Lin you traitor. When I report to the two aurous core stage ancestors they will definitely take out the trash. They will kill you and this demon, exterminating evil and protecting justice." After pointing his finger at Wang Lin and cursing him, Sun Xiaozhu ran away without even turning his head.

Seeing Sun Xiaozhu flee, that old man bared his teeth and smiled. He revealed a thick aura of bloodlust and brutality saying: "In my heyday, don't mention two aurous core stages, even two nascent soul stages would just be chop-suey. But today I Zhuge Nan have fallen into hardship, I cannot allow you to go back and inform them."

While speaking the old man pointed his finger. The black mist turned into a rope, rapidly flying towards Sun Xiaozhu. In the air it turned into the shape of a lasso, directly roping over Sun Xiaozhu's neck.

Sun Xiaozhu had the living daylights scared out of him. He hurriedly retracted his domineering behaviour and cried out: "I was wrong, please forgive me once!"

Zhuge Nan laughed in mockery saying: "It's too late to think of begging now!"

Finishing speaking the black mist lasso directly tightened. Sun Xiaozhu did not feel suffocated, but all of his mana had been bound.

The next instant Sun Xiaozhu screamed, his eyes were empty and he stood dumbly on the spot like a puppet. It turns out that his soul was directly taken away by Zhuge Nana, his body had already become an empty shell.

Lin Feng's pupils slightly shrank. He thought: "Being able instantly take away the soul of a qi disciple level 8 cultivator and he didn't even have the chance to fight back, this old geezer isn't easy to handle."

The black mist lasso released itself from Sun Xiaozhu's neck and returned into Zhuge Nan's body. The old geezer's face was filled with an expression of enjoyment. He exhaled a long breath towards the sky: "Delicious, I haven't tasted this in a long time."

Devouring the souls of people, Zhuge Nan's technique was very clearly dark magic. Don't mention Lin Feng, even Wang Lin could tell that his origin is not upright.

Zhuge Nan slanted his eyes. Seeing Wang Lin have a faint look of horror in his vigilance the old geezer snorted in disdain: "What are you looking at? We cultivators act against the heavens in the first place, whoever upsets you, you kill them."

"In the few days you've been in this bullshit school, how much humiliation have you suffered? If it was me, hmph! This school would probably have already been slaughtered by me. All who insult me, I will crush their souls!"

Wang Lin laughed helplessly: "I…"

"Don't interrupt me, I haven't finished speaking yet, hmph! This little school of yours has a couple of girls who look pretty decent, you really don't know how to enjoy life. If it was me I'd already have captured them and used them as cultivation vessels, sucking their yin essence dry! Mm, I really miss that experience, I haven't tasted that feeling in over 30 years." (TL: If you don't have any clue whatsoever of what he's talking about, you're probably not old enough to know.)

Wang Lin was already stunned speechless.

Zhuge Nan rambled on endlessly for half a day before finally stopping. He looked sideways at Wang Lin and snorted: "Stupid brat, what's the feeling like of getting bullied in your school and one guy taking on the whole lot of you?"

Wang Lin thought about it for a moment. He's only been in the school for only a couple of days and suffered a lot of ridicule and contempt. In terms of his feeling of belonging towards the Mount Heng School, it really isn't that strong.

But during the exchange competition when that qi disciple great circle of perfection disciple of the Eternal Dao Sect stood on the stage and announced that he would challenge all of the qi disciple stage disciples of the Mount Heng School, amongst the crowd Wang Lin also felt his anger surge. He was enraged.

Unfortunately he doesn't even have a level of qi disciple level 1. He could only helplessly watch him point his finger at everyone's noses and provoke them.

Seeing Wang Lin's face reveal an expression of fury, Zhuge Nan smiled leisurely: "How's the feeling of having your school's base snatched by someone, getting driven out and running away like a homeless dog?"

Wang Lin pursed his lips: "What do you want to say?"

Zhuge Nan smiled saying: "Do you want to become stronger? Do you want to possess unrivalled strength? Do you want to slap a person back to their grandma's home when they provoke you?"

Wang Lin's eyes lit up..

On the other hand, hiding at the side, Lin Feng's eyes blazed with fire: "Fucking shit, this old bastard is not only stealing my business, he's also stealing my lines!"

Zhuge Nan laughed loudly: "It's nothing but a trivial matter. Follow under my teaching and in ten years you'll be able to climb the path towards the heavens and the road of success. At that time you will know that the nascent soul stage cultivator who snatched you guys' base today is nothing but a glass vase!"

"But the path of cultivation is filled with thorns, it is absolutely not a smooth road. You must face all kinds of pain and suffering, can you bear it?"

Wang Lin's face revealed a resolute expression.

On the other hand, the expression on Lin Feng's face was aggressive. His mana surge and he was prepared to fight.

"Fuck! Get the fuck out of my way, this disciple is mine!"

Wang Lin's face revealed a resolute expression. He bit his teeth and said: "I can endure any kind of suffering."

Lin Feng stared coldly at Sikong Na. Right at the instant when he was about to attack, he suddenly noticed that after Wang Lin agreed, a hint of imperceptible smugness and exultion flashed by in his eyes.

"Hm?" Lin Feng was slightly stunned. A thought flashed by in his mind: "This old geezer isn't like me who has a system and knows that Wang Lin possesses amazing potential. The current Wang Lin just looks like a piece of trash with extremely poor aptitude. Why is he so happy about taking in Wang Lin?"

In a split second Lin Feng forced back the impulse to attack.

"There's something wrong with this old geezer!"

With this pause, the smugness and exultion in Sikong Nan's eyes had already disappeared. He glanced at the gathering place of the Mount Heng School people in the distance: "This is not the place to speak. I'll take you to a secret place and then we'll talk."

While speaking, black mist swirled around Sikong Nan's entire body, enveloping Wang Lin and flying towards the distance.

Lin Feng quietly controlled the Black Cloud Flag and secretly followed behind: "Let's see what the hell you want you old bastard."

With a son of the heavens like Wang Lin who is basically like the main character of a xuanhuan novel, carrying an old grandpa around with him is practically the standard. But Lin Feng has this persistent feeling that there's something wrong with Sikong Nan this old grandpa."

The black mist carried Wang Lin and flew for over 50 kilometers before landing in a valley. Wang Lin landed on the ground dizzy. In front of him the black mist reformed Sikong Nan's figure.

Lin Feng followed behind them and arrived at the valley, but he saw Sikong Nan wave his hand, sending out a cluster of black mist that enveloped the interior of the valley. People on the outside could neither see inside nor hear the sounds within.

"This black mist is all the manifestation of that old geezer's mana. If regular means are used to sneak in, no matter how stealthy a person is, they will still be discovered by that old geezer." Lin Feng grinned: "Too bad it's not a problem for me."

Lightly shaking the Black Cloud Flag, black light flickered and Lin Feng entered into the interior of the barrier that Sikong Nan setup. The Black Cloud Flag moves by directly breaking open the void. Lin Feng teleported from the space outside of the barrier to the space inside the barrier, he didn't even touch the black mist and naturally won't be discovered by Sikong Nan.

After Lin Feng silently snuck in, he saw that inside of the barrier formed by black mist, Sikong Nan and Wang Lin were standing face to face.

"Nobody should bother us here." Sikong Nan said to himself. He then turned his head towards Wang Lin and said with a serious face: "Practising my dao technique requires the aid of this Netherworld Bead in your hands."

Lin Feng's gaze fell upon the stone bead in Wang Lin's palm, Wang Lin himself also lowered his head looking at the stone bead.

Sikong Nan continued saying: "Your bone root is rather poor and your foundation is also weak. If you want to increase your strength as fast as possible then there is only one way. That is I use the empowerment technique to help you advance in leaps and bounds."

Wang Lin asked in puzzlement: "Empowerment?"

Sikong Nan nodded his head saying: "In a bit, use all of your effort to communicate with the Netherworld Bead in your hand with your mind. It's best if you can arouse the Netherworld Bead's power to nourish your body, at the same time release your mind to me and open up your consciousness. I will empower you and help you increase your level."

"Only by working from both sides and combining the power of both sides can you be reborn."

Wang Lin blinked his eyes, he was silent for a long time before suddenly opening his mouth and asking: "Elder, why are you helping me?"

When the words left his mouth, Sikong Nan and Lin Feng were both stunned. This kid, it's one thing when he doesn't open his mouth, but when he does he asks the right questions.

Sikong Nana was dazed for a moment before releasing a cold snort: "I get angry just looking at that pathetic appearance of yours. I decided to take pity on you and give you a helping hand and you're striking an attitude?"

Wang Lin's eyes flashed, he said in a heavy voice: "Thank you for your kindness, but there's no need to trouble you. Please send me back to join my school elders."

Sikong Nan narrowed his eyes: "Ungrateful brat, do you know what you're saying?"

Wang Lin pursed his lips and said modestly: "I am slow-witted and my level is lowly, I am afraid that I will be unable to repay your kindness. I cannot receive a reward without merit, I do not dare to accept such a huge favor."

Sikong Nan started to cackle: "But this isn't up to you!"

Wang Lin's expression changed slightly, he heard Sikong Nan continue to say: "Originally I wanted to save some time, but since you don't know how to appreciate kindness, I can only spend some effort and let you witness my ability!"

While speaking, Sikong Nan's two hands formed a spell sign. Rolling black mist instantly spewed out, completely covering Wang Lin.

At the side, Lin Feng watched with his jaw dropping: "This script isn't right, the main character is going at it with his old grandpa?"

Being covered by the black mist, stars floated in front of Wang Lin's eyes and his head was drowsy, he only wanted to fall asleep right now.

Instinct told Wang Lin that if he just sleeps over like that, he'll never wake up again.

At this moment a lightbulb lit up in Wang Lin's head and a thought suddenly flashed by in his mind: "This old geezer's cultivation level is far more than qi disciple stage. He's too much higher than me, killing me is like killing a mosquito."

"Even though he appeared from the Netherworld Bead, he doesn't seem to be able to control the Netherworld Bead? Right now the Netherworld Bead is the only thing I can depend on. If there is something that can protect me, it is definitely only this Netherworld Bead."

Thinking here, Wang Lin forced himself to pull himself together and placed all of his spirit into the Netherworld Bead.

At critical times, Man's potential will explode. Wang Lin really did successfully communicate with the Netherworld Bead.

The originally dusky and completely unassuming Netherworld Bead emitted a pale yellow glow that isolated Sikong Nan's black mist.

Seeing this Sikong Nan stormed with anger, but he couldn't do anything about it. He could only constantly strengthen his mana and hope that the black mist can breach the yellow light.

Right now the old geezer's balls hurt like crazy.

In the past Sikong Nan contended against people for this Netherworld Bead. With his physical body destroyed and his soul heavily wounded he could only attach himself within the Netherworld Bead. Over dozens of years later, not only was he unable to refine this treasure, he instead had a trend of being refined by the Netherworld Bead and was gradually trapped within the Netherworld Bead, unable to come out.

When Wang Lin obtained the Netherworld Bead, his body was wounded and his blood dripped onto the Netherworld Bead. He actually inadvertently used his blood to refine this treasure, but at the moment Wang Lin's level it too low and he is unable to control the Netherworld Bead.

Sikong Nan's plan was to take over Wang Lin. Not only would he regain a new body, he could also use this opportunity to refine the Netherworld Bead this treasure.

Who knew that Wang Lin would become suspicious and not give him a chance. But Sikong Nan also cannot kill Wang Lin. If Wang Lin dies, Sikong Nan will have to continue being trapped within the Netherworld Bead. So his plan right now is to use his spell to subdue Wang Lin and have him obediently hand over his body.

Too bad in this moment of life and death, Wang Lin actually successfully controlled the Netherworld Bead to resist against him. Sikong Nan was in an awkward situation, he could only continue competing with Wang Lin to see who gives in first.

Right now Lin Feng understood everything.

This isn't an old grandpa, this is clearly an old devil who wants to take over Wang Lin's body!

Understanding this point, Lin Feng completely made up his mind. Looks like the first bucket of gold in Wang Lin this main character's life is the treasure the Netherworld Bead and not some old grandpa.

This Sikong Nan is a freaking villain.

Not only will he not fight with Lin Feng for the position of old grandpa, he will instead become the villain stepping stone to compliment Lin Feng.

Of course, the precondition of everything is that he can't allow this old geezer to really take over Wang Lin's body.

Lin Feng laughed coldly while looking at Sikong Nan: "Old bastard, bullying my disciple? You really don't know how the word 'dead" is written."

Even though there was the glow of the Netherworld Bead blocking, Wang Lin who was surrounded by black mist felt colder and colder.

It was not his body that felt cold, but his soul that shivered and chilled.

As if gusts of ill wind that blew from the depths of his heart, no matter how warm the outside is it cannot block it.

He doesn't know that this is the sign of excessive wear on his mind. If he continues like this he will damage his spirit.

Even though the Netherworld Bead can restrain Sikong Nan to a certain degree, Wang Lin's own cultivation level is honestly too low. His spirit is simply unable to control the Netherworld Bead and cannot bear the exhaustion brought by the Netherworld Bead.

Beside his ears is the cackling of Sikong Nan. His vision started to go black and Wang Lin felt like his mind was about to collapse. A lot of irrelevant content also started to surface in his mind.

The first thing that Wang Lin thought of is his parents: ""Father, mother, am I about to die? Tiezhu is unfilial, I cannot go back to see you guys anymore…" (TL: I'm not really sure about this Tiezhu name for Wang Lin. As far as I know, there is a Xiao Ni phone game where there is a character called Wang Tiezhu who can evolve into Wang Lin. I'm assuming it's his given name in this novel.)

What's unbelievable is that the second thing that Wang Lin thought of is a white robed young daoist with wide sleeves in daoist clothing.

"If I went with that daoist at the time, would I not have today's disaster?"

Wang Lin's mind was a mess, the moment before he was about to lose consciousness, a voice suddenly travelled into his ears.

"Old bastard, fuck off and get the hell away from my disciple!"

Wang Lin used all of his strength to open his eyes. Light flickered before his eyes and the last scene that entered into his eyes is a beam of white light that ripped apart the heavy black mist as it flashed. That white robed young daoist whom he saw before stood in front him and was looking at him with a face of concern.

Wang Lin's lips moved, he wanted to say something but was ultimately unable to release a sound. His head crooked and he fainted over.

Seeing that Wang Lin had only fainted over due to mental exhaustion, Lin Feng relaxed his heart and turned around facing Sikong Nan.

Sikong Nan stared coldly at him: "Youngster, you dare to ruin my plans. I will pull out your soul to make a soul lantern and have you suffer the pain of having devil fire erode your soul all day and night!"

Lin Feng swung his sleeves and protected Wang Lin behind him. He said calmly: "Scram right now and I can allow you to live."

Sikong Nan's eyebrows instantly raised up, he said while cackling: "You court death!"

While the black mist surged wildly, it flew up into the air and gathered together, virtually forming a physical body. Afterwards it started to rapidly spin, pressing down heavily like a drill towards Lin Feng who was below it.

The spell sign in Lin Feng's hands changed, his mana automatically converted to the pure buddhist mana of the Kṣitigarbha Sutra. A layer of faint golden buddhist light had also appeared over his body.

Lin Feng has yet to fully cultivate the Kṣitigarbha Gilded Body, so he does not dare to be careless. His two hands formed a buddhist hand sign and he used the buddhist mana of the Kṣitigarbha Sutra to drive it, releasing the Minor Samsara Technique.

Releasing the Minor Samsara Technique, golden light gathered above Lin Feng's head, forming a massive "卍" character pattern. (TL: If you don't know, that is not the nazi swastika.)

The black drill rapidly spun downwards. With a single spin, the golden "卍" character above Lin Feng's head had already directed the black drill to the side, landing far away in the cliff at the side.

The cliff that had experienced the erosion of the rain and wind for thousands of year and still remained firm was directly smashed to bits by the black drill!

On the surface Lin Feng's expression did not changed, but alarm bells had sounded in his heart: "At present this old geezer only possesses a crippled soul, his strength is also equivalent to peak foundation establishment. If he recovers his peak state, how terrifying will he be?"

Regardless of the Kṣitigarbha Sutra or the Minor Samsara Technique, they are both secret techniques with infinite profundity of the Buddhist sect. Only with the combination of the two did Lin Feng withstand the first round of attack by Sikong Nan.

Moreover it was a good thing that he used the Minor Samsara Technique and used the method of leveraging force to deflect the black drill. Or else if he took it head on, with his incomplete Kṣitigarbha Gilded Body it would most likely not end well.

Lin Feng's pupils shrank: "Since I've made this enemy today, I absolutely cannot leave behind any future trouble! Raise not your hand when showing mercy, show no mercy when raising your hand."

Thinking here, he raised up his arms. 24 golden dots of light flew out in all directions, scattering on the ground.

Sikong Nan stared at Lin Feng and snorted coldly: "A baldy of the Buddhist sect? What I hate the most is monks."

"I'll have you witness my Hundred Demon Night Parade technique." Sikong Nan's spell sign changed in succession, the black mist emitted became increasingly thicker and gradually enveloped even the entire valley.

Shrill screams sounded in the black mist, dozens of crimson red dots of light suddenly lit up in the black mist, appearing very glaring.

The next instant, Lin Feng saw a dozen black shadows stumble out from the thick mist. They were a dozen pitch-black wraiths with hideous faces. It turns out that those crimson red dots of light that lit up before were their eyes.

Sikong Nan's cackling rose up in the black mist: "Too bad, too bad, back in the day when I used the Thousand Demon Parade and Ten Thousand Demon Parade, what grandeur that was? Now I have fallen into hardship and only a dozen of worthless wraiths remain in my hand, but dealing with you is more than enough."

"Little bastard, when I kill you I'll turn you into a member of them and have you be at my command for eternity!"

Lin Feng closely looked over and saw that one of the weaker wraiths among them, even though his body was pitch-black and his face was twisted, but from his facial features he could still vaguely recognize that he is precisely that Sun Xiaozhu who was just killed by Sikong Nan.

From the aura around this wraith, he has entirely retained Sun Xiaozhu's cultivation level of qi disciple level 8 from when he was alive.

Amongst this group of wraiths, Sun Xiaozhu's strength could be considered the weakest. The other wraiths at the worst possess mana of qi disciple great circle of perfection. There are six wraiths that should have been foundation establishment stage cultivators when they were alive and in the end had their souls pulled out by Sikong Nan for this technique.

In front of him the group of wraiths hissed and howled. Lin Feng turned a blind eye to them, his gaze looking towards the depths of the black mist. He laughed saying: "You really are teaching your grandmother how to suck eggs."

Sikong Nan was stunned: "What did you say?"

Lin Feng smiled, smiling radiantly and dazzling. He lifted his hand and lightly snapped.

"Pa!" With a crisp sound, dazzling buddhist light burst into the sky. Waves of golden light flushed the black mist clear. Buddhist chanting filled with benevolence could be heard without end. The ill wind and ghostly wails vanished in a flash!

The scent of sandalwood flooded the nostrils, causing people to enter a state of tranquility. Lin Feng bathed in the buddhist light, closing his eyes and listening to the buddhist chanting. His hand lightly tapped to the beat and he was very comfortable.

But those dozen wraiths had it bad. They were completely surrounded by golden buddhist light, their entire bodies were as if they were being burned by fire. They could only curl up into a ball and struggle in resistance.

Lin Feng opened his eyes and smiled: "You just said, they're more than enough to deal with who?"

With this smile he revealed his snow-white teeth that were even slightly glimmering.

But landing Sikong Nan's eyes it made him shudder.

Sikong Nan has always thought that he was already vicious enough, but looking at Lin Feng right now who had a smiling face, he felt like he was facing a super prehistoric monster.

Lin Feng laughed, his right hand gently waving forward: "Then, let's start."

24 golden arhats chanted a buddhist prayer together that shook the ears. They rushed in great strides towards Sikong Nan and those dozen wraiths. When they moved the earth rumbled and mountains shook.

After Lin Feng activated the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation, the battle instantly fell into a one-sided fight.

24 golden arhats who all possess a foundation establishment stage mana standard. They surrounded the dozen wraiths and beat the crap out of them.

Regardless of single combat ability or group combat ability, these wraiths aren't a match for the golden arhats to begin with. Moreover right now they are being restrained by the buddhist light and can only exert 80% of their skill. The result of the battle is naturally without question.

Sikong Nan watched the wraiths that he refined get killed one by one and cried out in distress.

"Kid, this isn't over until one of us dies!"

Sikong Nan's expression was savage. His two hands gathered in front of his chest and formed a spell sign. The black mist constantly gathered, gradually condensing into a black sphere of light.

The few remaining wraiths all released piercing screams. The red light in their eyes surged and shot towards the black sphere of light in front of Sikong Nan's chest.

Red light constantly mixed into the black sphere of light and it became increasingly darker and heavier.

And following the constant shooting of red light, those couple of wraiths all started to become dispirited, as if they had their strength sapped from them.

Lin Feng thought: "He seems to be using a secret technique, sacrificing these wraiths to complete a certain secret art."

Thinking here Lin Feng waved his hands. The 24 golden arhats brought their hands together and the golden light above their heads connected together, forming a golden cloud of light.

Lin Feng didn't have any thoughts of waiting for his opponent to charge up his big move and then having a showdown with his strongest move after he's charged it up.

Attack the army while they are in the middle of crossing the river, this is the correct path!

In the golden cloud of light, buddhist chanting boomed. A beam of golden light flew out from the light cloud and turned into a massive golden wheel, smashing down towards Sikong Nan's head!"

A thick, blood-red pillar of light shot out from the black sphere of light with a bang. Black light circulated around the pillar of light, its momentum was frightening.

The golden wheel and the blood-red light pillar crashed together. They did not emit any sounds, but powerful invisible shockwaves constantly spread out in all directions with the point of contact as the center

Even the golden light mist in the buddhist light formation was blown away by the continuous shockwaves.

Invisible waves swept over the entire valley. Ancient towering trees in the mountain toppled over and countless plants were lifted up from their roots. Sand and stone flew in a flurry and cracks appeared even on the solid stone walls.

The blood-red light pillar was not destroyed by the golden wheel and the golden wheel was also unharmed. Two powerful forces refused to budge in the air and had actually entered into a deadlock.

Seeing this Sikong Nan felt great hatred in his heart: "Cunning kid, if he waited for me to completely finish this technique I would definitely be able to destroy his buddhist magic in one hit."

"Dammit, being so heavily wounded, not only has my cultivation level dropped greatly, even a lot of powerful abilities cannot be used. Or else even if I only have foundation establishment stage cultivation level right now, killing a little bastard like you would be like killing a dog!

Sikong Nan roared in his heart: "If you land in my hands I will definitely boil your soul like lamp oil!"

Lin Feng's expression was indifferent, he nodded his head leisurely: "Not bad."

His calm appearance made Sikong Nan even more blue in his heart.

"But, you're still far from enough." Lin Feng's hand made a seal and formed a spell sign. The 24 arhat light figures instantly responded, chanting a buddhist prayer again in a low voice: "Buddha is merciful!"

The golden wheel instantly surged with light, forcefully pushing forward and pressuring the blood-red pillar of light to constantly retract backwards.

The wheel's speed of advance was not fast. It moved steadily and without haste, but it was filled with an unstoppable, unrivalled prospect of strength.

I said I'll crush you so I'll crush you!

Sikong Nan's expression changed greatly, this time he couldn't even speak. He could only struggle to persevere and resist, but in front of the golden wheel's overpowering momentum, he appeared to be so powerless, like a candle in the wind that could extinguish at any moment.

But Lin Feng did not stop there, he was unforgiving. Only a dead opponent is a good opponent.

Letting the 24 sariras support the spell formation on their own, Lin Feng's own mana had already converted from the buddhist mana to the thunder class mana of the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique.

Lightning, the most unyielding and most positive energy in the world. It is the most domineering and swift, and is precisely the nemesis of all ghosts, specially countering spiritual and evil magic.

Lin Feng's palms came together, right away the thunder essence around his body rapidly gathered, forming a massive lightning blade over 10 meters long in the air. Violent bluish-purple lightning shone directly on Sikong Nan's face, making his face purple in colour.

At this moment Sikong Nan felt like the light in the sky had suddenly dimmed. The sun did not disappear, it was that his vision was completely filled by the light emitted from another bluish-purple sun.

The skill derived from the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique, Wild Lightning Blade!

Lin Feng revealed his teeth smiling: "Old bastard, die!"

In Sikong Nan's terrified eyes, the violent massive lightning blade arced across dozens of meters of space, chopping down towards his head while bringing up sizzling sounds that constantly crackled beside the ears.

"No!" Right now all of Sikong Nan's mana was used in competing with the golden wheel, where does he have the extra strength to block Lin Feng's attack?

In the sound of his wailing, Sikong Nan's spirit that was floating in mid-air was directly cut in half by Lin Feng.

His lower body was directly blown to bits by the lightning. Countless electric sparks coiled around every inch of skin on his upper body, constantly exploding and appearing very miserable.

"This kid is savage, I can't fight recklessly against him anymore or else I'll definitely lose my life here today!"

Sikong Nan glared venomously at Lin Feng. His remaining spirit turned into a cloud of black mist and returned back into the Netherworld Bead.

Lin Feng slightly knit his forehead and took back the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation. He darted forward and picked up the Netherworld Bead. He can sense that within the Netherworld Bead, Sikong Nan's heavily injured spirit was actually rapidly recovering.

"Kid, no matter how arrogant you are, as long as I hide in this Netherworld Bead you can't kill me!" Sikong Nan's venomous laughter travelled out from the Netherworld Bead: "Sooner or later I'll settle the score with you, let's see who can laugh until the end!"

Lin Feng's eyes lightly swept the Netherworld Bead. His finger drew a seal in the air and enchanted it onto the Netherworld Bead: "Without question the one who will laugh to the end is definitely me. As for you, hehe!"

Inside of the Netherworld Bead, Sikong Nan's laughter abruptly stopped, as if someone had suddenly grabbed his neck. Only after a long pause did his enraged voice travel out: "What did you do? How can you cut-off the connection between me and the Netherworld Bead?"

"This… This is the Void Temple's Heaven Cage Sigil?! How can you know the Void Temple's secret technique, don't you practise buddhist dao techniques?"

"Knowing dao techniques of the buddhist holy land and also knowing the skill of the daoist holy land, who exactly are you?"

Lin Feng did not pay attention to Sikong Nan who had already fallen into madness. He put away the Netherworld Bead and used the Black Cloud Flag to wrap up himself and Wang Lin who was still unconscious on the ground, leaving the valley.

Lin Feng attempted to use his mana to stimulate and wake up Wang Lin, but there was no reaction.

He wrinkled his brows and closely examined him, discovering that Wang Lin's soul was actually also trapped in the Netherworld Bead.

"I have to fish out his soul as soon as possible. He doesn't have any cultivation prowess, if his soul leaves his body for too long he won't be able to return to his body." Lin Feng controlled the Black Cloud Flag and flew: "The Heaven Cage Sigil also can only temporarily seal the old geezer. Leaving him alive is ultimately trouble, I'll find a place and completely deal with all the problems."
