Everybody was looking at Tu Fu. Even though he was pushed back by the last war drum attempt, nobody was going to look down on him. Being able to emit a cracking noise from the sixth drum was already a great performance.
The people of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue were looking at Ba Dao with cold smiles on their faces. They wanted to see how the man, who was wearing a bronze mask, was supposed to compete with Tu Fu.
At that moment, Ba Dao moved in front of a war drum. He looked calm and mystical. An incredible blade energy rose from his body.
The crowd was stupefied. Immediately after, they only saw Ba Dao's fist move towards the first war drum.
"BOOOOM!"
A clear sound spread in the air. However, it didn't sound brutal and explosive at all. The war drum looked like a bean curd that had been split open by a blade.
Immediately after, he struck the second, then the third and the fourth one. He had easily made them beat. From the beginning, Ba Dao had done this in a single breath.
He moved straight towards the fifth one, slightly raised his hand and immediately after cut it into two distinct parts which flew away. As before, he looked relaxed and detached.
The scariest part was that Ba Dao looked like a blade that would cut through anything, even before arriving at the sixth drum.
"Ka cha."
Looking like a terrifying blade, Ba Dao cut the sixth war drum. As before, it looked easy for him to emit the beat and it seemed like he had destroyed those six drums in a single fluid movement, without taking a second breath.
At that moment, Ba Dao stopped. He didn't move towards the seventh war drum and no longer looked interested. He calmly turned around and walked back towards the people of the Celestial Academy.
"A piece of trash dares to act so arrogantly." said Ba Dao indifferently. Everybody was astonished. That guy surprisingly dared to call Tu Fu a piece of trash. However in comparison with Ba Dao, Tu Fu was extremely weak indeed.
Tu Fu pulled a long face and the color drained from his cheeks. In the past, he used to be considered as a genius within the Yun Hai Sect. He used to consider himself as an amazing cultivator. At the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue, he was considered as an important student but at that moment, he was being humiliated and had no way to refute Ba Dao.
He had needed his maximal strength to make a crack appear in the sixth war drum but Ba Dao had easily been able to make it beat as he split it in two. The difference between the two of them was gigantic.
"Not bad." said Duan Wu Ya while smiling. He then continued: "Are there any stronger ones out there?"
The people in the crowd were looking at each other in dismay. After that, many others stood up to test their strength. They all tried but eventually, they all failed, unable to even reach the sixth war drum.
"Ling Hu, you are one the strongest here, why don't you go and destroy their honor?"
At that moment, on the side of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue, Tu Fu said while looking at Ling Hu He Shan. Ling Hu He Shan used to be a disciple of the Yun Hai Sect so he and Tu Fu had a good relationship.
Ling Hu He Shan slightly shook his head and looked at the crowd on the other side: "That guy in white clothes, his name is Wen Ao Xue. He is ranked third at the Celestial Academy. He's discreet and his strength is unfathomable. I hadn't thought that he would come as well so now I am not entirely sure that I can win."
Ling Hu He Shan's words stupefied Tu Fu. Immediately after, he walked towards Wen Ao Xue, who was as beautiful as woman and saw that these two enigmatic eyes were also looking towards him. They looked like dazzling diamonds. Tu Fu didn't dare look at them anymore.
Amongst those who came to the battlefield, the strongest student of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue was Ling Hu He Shan. If Ling Hu He Shan took action, Wen Ao Xue would inevitably get involved and if Lin Hu He Shan was defeated, the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue would lose face. Therefore, Ling Hu He Shan wasn't absolutely certain about the result of a potential confrontation and preferred not to get involved.
"I will help gain back our prestige." said someone on the side of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue. That young man was Yue Tian Chen.
Yu Tian Chen stood up, looked at Duan Wu Ya and Duan Xin Ye and said: "Your Highness, I am obviously the one who should protect the princess. Nobody else can even pretend to be better suited than Me." said Yue Tian Chen in an extremely arrogant tone. Everybody could see that Yue Tian Chen believed the logic of his words.
Yue Tian Chen was a member of the Yue Clan and he had an extremely high social status. Besides, he was also extremely strong, already reaching the seventh Ling Qi layer and possessed a terrifying spirit to match. Many people, who were stronger than him, didn't dare to provoke him while those who were weaker than him were only there to be bullied.
Duan Xin Ye lowered her head without saying anything whereas Duan Wu Ya faintly smiled and said: "Well, let's see how many war drums you can handle, brother."
Yu Tian Chen slightly nodded but didn't walk towards the drums. Instead, he looked at the students of the Celestial Academy, in particular in Lin Feng's direction and said: "In order to be in a relationship with a princess, no matter if you're a cultivation genius or if you were born from a noble family, you need to stand at the absolute peak. Those who have a low social status and an overrated strength are just nobodies. When they think that they have a chance to win the heart of the princess, it truly is the funniest thing in the world. Those types of people can keep dreaming."
When he finished, he walked towards the drums.
The crowd was looking at Lin Feng with a strange look. Even though Yue Tian Chen hadn't mentioned any names, he was clearly talking about Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was trying to gain relations with the princess?
At that moment, Lin Feng was dumbstruck. His facial expression looked slightly cold.
Lin Feng had an exaggerated strength and was interested in the princess?
At that moment, Yue Tian Chen said: "Today, I would like to sing a song for the princess."
When he finished talking, Tian Yue Chen's deep and low voice spread through the air.
"Men and officers of the vast and boundless Xue Yue, beat the drums and sound the gongs!"
"BOOM!"
An explosion followed Yue Tian Chen's song as the first war drum beat.
"Lords and nobles wearing armor and inspiring ambitions."
"BOOOOOOM!"
With a single explosive beat he destroyed two war drums.
"A hot-blooded man surrounded by lakes and mountains….."
Yue Tian Chen's voice was deep. The energy he was releasing matched the feeling of hot-blooded behavior. He continued to punch the next drums. The fourth and the fifth war drums exploded into pieces.
Not only was it Yue Tian Chen's first breath but he still had plenty of air in his lungs.
"Achieving a thousand heroic merits."
Yue Tian Chen continued walking forwards. It seemed like his entire body was defying the laws of space and time and that his strength could annihilate everything in his path. An incredibly loud explosion sound spread filled the atmosphere and the sixth war drum exploded.
At that moment, Yue Tian Chen stamped on the ground like a mad man. The yellow muddy ground seemed to create a terrible wave of earth as it rippled away from his foot.
Yue Tian Chen's fist crashed onto the seventh war drum.
"Just to be welcomed back as a hero by a beautiful woman." continued Yue Tian Chen in his deep singing voice. Finally, he had run out of air from his first breath. A cracking sound emerged in the atmosphere as the seventh war drum was smashed into five pieces.
"Lords and nobles wearing armor and inspiring ambitions."
"A hot-blooded man surrounded by lakes and mountains….."
The people in the crowd were listening to these words while looking at that handsome young man. Their hearts were pounding and it seemed like the blood in their veins had been ignited with the passion for battle.
The officers and soldiers were especially enthusiastic and excited. Each and every single one of them had excitement in their eyes as if they were seeing themselves as the man from the song.
"Alright!"
All the people of the Holy Courtyard were supporting Yue Tian Chen. On his seat, Duan Tian Lang was slightly smiling as well and said: "Yue Tian Chen deserves to be a member of the Yue Clan. His heart is filled with great aspirations. Relying on a single breathe, he was able to chant and at the same time make seven drums beat. Such people are a rarity. He would be a perfect match for the princess."
He had required only one breath to sing his song and make seven war drums beat. Yue Tian Chen hadn't paused for even a moment, he had been singing heartily as he attacked the war drums. It required much more energy than just attacking. After all, he only had a single breath.
Yue Tian Chen turned around and slightly nodded towards Duan Tian Lang. Immediately after, he walked towards Duan Xin Ye and warmly smiled at her. Duan Xin Ye also smiled in response while remaining as silent as before.
"Not bad." said Duan Wu Ya while smiling and nodding. "I wouldn't have thought that Brother Yue was as talented as he was creative. That is indeed, very rare."
"I am just some nobody. Your Highness, you're flattering Me." said Yue Tian Chen with a proud smile on his face. He then immediately glanced towards Lin Feng. In his eyes, perhaps Lin Feng had already become a potential rival.
"To be more accurate, you are not even some nobody, you are even lower, you are a piece of shit." said a loud voice with a cold and indifferent tone. The crowd was astonished, a piece of shit?
Then everybody turned towards the person who was speaking, it was precisely Lin Feng.
"That guy, how audacious!" thought the crowd.
When he heard those words, Yue Tian Chen narrowed his eyes and coldly looked at Lin Feng. He smiled coldly and said: "Alright, if I'm a piece of shit, would you want to try?"
"That's exactly what I was planning." said Lin Feng while smiling indifferently. In the Continent of the Nine Clouds, many people were much stronger than him but Lin Feng was probably one of the most creative people.
Lin Feng stood up and started walking slowly towards the drums. He arrived in front of the war drums. The crowd was stupefied. Lin Feng was serious about trying to beat seven drums.
The crowd was already growing impatient. They wanted to see how strong and talented Lin Feng was. However being stronger than Yue Tian Chen wasn't very likely.
Duan Wu Ya and Duan Xin Ye were impatiently looking at Lin Feng wondering what his plan was.
"I want to see if you can make seven drums beat while singing." said Yue Tian Chen while smiling coldly. He was fixedly staring at Lin Feng. It was impossible for Lin Feng to beat him, he would just end up humiliating himself.
Lin Feng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. A beautiful melody suddenly came from his mouth. The crowd was shocked as their hearts started to race with excitement.

"In a towering rage, I rest under the whistling sound of rain."
The sound of his solemn and serene voice could be heard as he took a few steps forward. With piercingly cold sword Qi Around his body . He punched the first war drum and immediately annihilated it without leaving a single trace.
It was only his first attack and the crowd was already stupefied. What powerful sword Qi.
"Gazing into the distance, looking up to the heavens, I utter a long and loud cry. My chest feels painful."
Lin Feng's loud and melodious voice resonated in the people's ears. That song had caused them to imagine a hero holding his sword, in a towering in rage on the battlefield.
"BOOM!"
The another war drum was also destroyed without leaving trace.
"Thirty soldiers now with the dust and earth, the moon and the clouds stretching as far as can see."
"The young man's hair turn white, he is filled with sorrow." continued Lin Feng and was unceasingly moving through the war drums. At this point, he had already destroyed four war drums making them beat.
He hadn't even used much of the breath he had taken. He was unceasingly moving. His voice was getting louder and was filled with emotion.
"The humiliation of Duan Ren."
"When the officials hate, they destroy."
"On the back of the armored horses, going to the mountains armed with flowers."
"BOOM!"
The fifth war drum was smashed and disappeared as dust in the atmosphere.
At that moment, the sword energy around Lin Feng's body seemed as vast the sky, the earth and the clouds. It was in perfect harmony with his song, as if it could annihilate an entire country.
At the same time, an insane amount of sword force filled the air. It seemed like it was impossible to stop that force from increasing. It was surrounding the entire crowd.
"With magnificent ideals in my mind yet starvation filling my stomach, I eat their flesh. To settle my thirst, I drink their blood."
Lin Feng's hand seemed to transformed into a sword. It was followed by an incredible amount of force. He easily destroyed the sixth war drum. People's hearts were pounding. he had already destroyed six war drums.
"Clearing from the beginning until the end, the mountains and lakes, moving towards the heavens."
The lyrics of his song were extremely presumptuous and seemed to be challenging the heavens. Around the body of that arrogant young man was an endless burning brilliance which was emerging into the atmosphere. His fist, which looked more like a sword, moved through the air and its incredible white glow crashed onto the seventh war drum which was smashed into pieces again and disappeared without leaving trace. That young man looked incredibly natural and unrestrained.
At that moment, Lin Feng finally stopped moving. His clothes and long hair were fluttering in the air. He looked frivolous, natural and unrestrained. His beautiful song was resonating in people's minds over and over.
"In a towering rage, I rest under the whistling sound of rain."
"Gazing into the distance, looking up to the heavens, I utter a long and loud cry. My chest feels painful."
"Thirty soldiers now with the dust and earth, the moon and the clouds stretching as far as can see."
"The young man's hair turn white, he is filled with sorrow."
"The humiliation of Duan Ren."
"When the officials hate, they destroy."
"On the back of the armored horses, going to the mountains armed with flowers."
"With magnificent ideals in my mind yet starvation filling my stomach, I eat their flesh. To settle my thirst, I drink their blood."
"Clearing from the beginning until the end, the mountains and lakes, moving towards the heavens."
With such inspiring and exciting lyrics, Lin Feng had risen to the heavens. He was heroic.
In comparison, the song that Yue Tian Chen had sung a moment before was, indeed, nothing compared to this. Compared with Lin Feng, he actually seemed like a nobody.
Everybody looked calm and solemn but their passion had been ignited.
"Alright, alright." said Duan Wu Ya while standing up. His expression looked sharp. Such a singing talent was rare, especially coming from a teenager.
In comparison with Lin Feng, Yue Tian Chen had no artistic talent at all. At that moment, he just had the feeling that he was a buffoon trying to amuse Princess Duan Xin Ye.
Lin Feng had the spirit and composure of a hero.
Duan Xin Ye's beautiful eyes were twinkling. Her facial expression was resplendent. Surprisingly, Lin Feng could sing in such a marvellous way.
Everybody, no matter if they were from the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue or the Celestial Academy, remained silent and was looking at that unconventional young man. The images of Lin Feng singing was replaying in their minds.
At that moment, only Yue Tian Chen had a hideous facial expression on his face. He had lost, that was a crushing defeat.
He had lost in both the artistic and strength, it was really a crushing defeat.
No need to talk about their artistic talent but as far as their strength was concerned, they had both made seven drums beat and had both used only one breath. Besides, Lin Feng had sung longer and in a louder voice. Lin Feng had made the hearts of the crowd start to pound in their chests. The difficulty of Lin Feng's song was also higher. Besides, Lin Feng had not just broken the war drums but he had disintegrated them into powder. He had used powerful sword energy to turn them into dust. From the first to the seventh war drum, they had all been disintegrated without leaving trace.
Therefore, it was clear at first glance who had won and who had lost. A short time before, Yue Tian Chen thought he was above everyone else and at that moment, he was suffering a crushing defeat.
The fact that he had been humiliating Lin Feng remained fresh in everybody's mind but Lin Feng had also caused him to lose face.
What Yue Tian Chen couldn't stand at that moment is that Princess Duan Xin Ye was staring at Lin Feng with her beautiful eyes. There was a splendour and radiance in her expression which didn't exist when she looked at other people. Duan Xin Ye had also been enchanted by Lin Feng. Yue Tian Chen couldn't allow such a thing to happen, Duan Xin Ye was supposed to become his wife.
That beautiful woman also possessed the power of a blood spirit. Yue Tian Chen was determined to win. In the entire Xue Yue Country, he had to be the one to win the princess' heart.
Even though he hadn't won that battle, it didn't mean that he was weaker than Lin Feng. If used all his strength, Yue Tian Chen was convinced that he was much stronger than Lin Feng.
At that moment, Lin Feng finally moved. He slowly turned around and looked at Yue Tian Chen. There was a densely sharp expression in Lin Feng's eyes.
"No matter if it is acquired on the path of cultivation, from being born into a noble family or because of one's natural talent, only those who have a high social status can marry a princess. This is despicable. Not knowing the vastness of the heavens because you overate your strength. You think that you can marry the princess, that is the truly the funniest thing in the world." said Lin Feng.
Lin Feng paused and then continued in a cold tone: "You criticize me for my social status, I admit that I don't have a higher social status than you but you also say that I am weak and a nobody. I would like to ask you a question, apart from being born into a noble family, what else do you have? You do not know how large the world is, you are truly ignorant." Lin Feng's words were sharp and poignant which made an ice-cold expression appear on Yue Tian Chen's face.
"A family's social standing depends on your luck, you cannot change it. Cultivation is something you can change and create yourself. You can decide to become stronger and to improve your abilities, even if you don't have a high social status. If you decide to always surpass your own abilities, you can reach the clouds. I am sure that such people are not affected by their low social status anymore. Once they have reached the clouds, they despise those who, in the past, used to arrogantly look down on them. Only those who are that strong have the power to be arrogant."
Lin Feng continued speaking: "However, you are part of the other category, relying on your family's social standing. Besides, because you have a high social status, you think that you are true perfection. You are not brave and consider everyone else beneath you. You are only suited to being a big fish in a little pond. If you cannot break free from that way of thinking then the best you can do is rely on the social standing granted to you by your clan, you are doomed. People will definitely surpass you. A clan with such people is doomed to decline and disappear sooner or later."
When the people in the crowd heard Lin Feng's words, their hearts were racing. Those who didn't have a high social status had to be ambitious and brave. That's right, if they were determined to reach the clouds, sooner or later, they could. They would manage to surpass those who possessed everything in the continent. In the end, they would end up despising those who, in the past, despised them.
Concerning the noble cultivators, they were dumbstruck after hearing what Lin Feng said. They didn't like to hear what Lin Feng was saying but they had to admit that he was right. His analysis was extremely deep and precise, besides, it was justified. Indeed, if they didn't bravely move forward, even if they had an illustrious status in a noble clan, sooner or later, their clan, with such useless people, would disappear.
The crowd was amazed by Lin Feng's words. He was so young and could understand things so well. He was way too mysterious.
"That boy, even though he doesn't have a high social status, will have unlimited opportunities in the future." said Duan Wu Ya who was starting to think that Lin Feng would actually really be a good match for his sister, Duan Xin Ye.
While the whole crowd was thinking about what Lin Feng had just said, Yue Tian Chen's facial expression had reached the ultimate degree of ugliness. Even if everything that Lin Feng had said was justified and true, he had been saying all these things on an arrogant tone in front of everyone else, humiliated a member of the Yue Clan!

At that moment the crowd was looking towards Lin Feng and Yue Tian Chen. A cold Qi filled atmosphere and the situation felt tense.
Duan Wu Ya looked perplexed. He immediately stood up and said: "Ok. That's enough. Stop beating the drums. We should start heading off now. Lin Feng, you are in charge of the protection of the princess."
When the crowd heard Duan Wu Ya, they were astonished. In the end, Duan Wu Ya had chosen Lin Feng. In his eyes, Lin Feng was more important than a young prodigy of the Yue Clan. The crowd couldn't believe their eyes. After all, they had not seen what happened in the Lovesick Forest.
In other people's eyes, Lin Feng was just Lin Feng. Even though he was outstanding; it was impossible for him to compete with a young prodigy from a noble clan. The crowd had the impression that Duan Wu Ya, had given him the opportunity, even though it was undeserved simply because he liked Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was also astonished. Actually, if Yu Tian Chen hadn't made him angry and attempted to humiliate him. Lin Feng wouldn't have necessarily stood up. Even though the princess gave him a good impression, he still didn't have any feelings for her. It was because of her delicate facial features and general beauty, no man could find her disgusting.
"Uncle Duan, even though I assigned Lin Feng to protect the princess, the others can also participate." said Duan Wu Ya to Duan Tian Lang. He then immediately continued: "From now on, from all the members of the army, only the princess can give orders to Lin Feng. Lin Feng is also the person in charge of the princess' security. He can choose to achieve other military merits under his own decision. Besides, the whole army must help and assist Lin Feng if he requires it."
When Duan Wu Ya finished talking, the crowd was astonished. Duan Wu Ya was giving incredible privileges to Lin Feng.
"Duan Wu Ya is protecting me." thought Lin Feng. He immediately understood what Duan Wu Ya meant. Considering that Lin Feng's enemies were everywhere, Duan Wu Ya was worried that they would attempt to harm him. Therefore, he was giving a status to Lin Feng by making him the personal guard of the princess. Besides, he was reminding everybody else that attacking Lin Feng was the same as endangering the princess.
"Lin Feng, did you hear me." said Duan Wu Ya while looking at Lin Feng in a cold and indifferent tone. This time, there was no warmth or friendliness in his voice. There was only the might and power which made him sound like an emperor.
"Roger." said Lin Feng while slightly nodding. Lin Feng obviously couldn't refuse protecting the princess.
"Alright, the princess' security is in your hands." said Duan Wu Ya while looking at Lin Feng with a profound look. He immediately looked towards Duan Tian Lang and said: "Uncle, the troops are now under your control. When you arrive in Duan Ren City, please cooperate with General Liu Cang Lan to fight against the enemy. I will be waiting in the Imperial City for you to return triumphant. See you then."
"Your Highness, I will spare no effort to defeat Mo Yue and prevent Duan Ren City from being humiliated." replied Duan Tian Lang in a calm and solemn tone. Duan Wu Ya slightly nodded, glanced at Duan Xin Ye, then turned around and left without a shred of hesitation.
Duan Tian Lang went back to his seat, his pitch-black armor looked majestic. He glanced at the crowd and said: "Troops, back to your initial positions!"
The bronze armored soldiers quickly moved the war drums away.
The people of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue and of the Celestial Academy stood up. Among the troops, obedience to the chief commander was absolute.
Yue Tian Chen coldly glanced at Lin Feng with killing intent filling his eyes. Immediately after, he turned around and moved back to his seat.
When Lin Feng noticed Yue Tian Chen's hostile behavior, he secretly smiled coldly and said: "I hope that you will not continue to provoke me."
Then, Lin Feng turned around and walked towards the members of the Celestial Academy.
"Lin Feng."
At that moment, Duan Tian Lang shouted and called out to Lin Feng which surprised him. He then turned his head around.
"You're going to the wrong place." said Duan Tian Lang indifferently and then added: "Now, you are the personal guard of the princess, you should always be at her side with the troops. How negligent are you. If anything happens to the princess, you will be held responsible."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. Now that Duan Wu Ya had left, Duan Tian Lang was starting to put pressure on Lin Feng. However, Lin Feng couldn't refute Duan Tian Lang's argument.
"I made a mistake." said Lin Feng while smiling indifferently and then adjusted his trajectory to walk towards the princess. Duan Tian Lang was the chief commander of the army and was able to put pressure on Lin Feng. Lin Feng had to be careful not to give Duan Tian Lang any reason to do so.
"Sorry for bringing you trouble." said Duan Xin Ye when she saw that Lin Feng was walking towards her. She had a warm and tender smile on her face. She was extremely beautiful.
"It is an honor to be in charge of the princess' safety." said Lin Feng politely while smiling.
Duan Xin Ye looked at Lin Feng and blinked twice. She then snorted with laughter while saying: "Lin Feng, how come I have the feeling that you had to force that? It doesn't seem like you."
When Lin Feng saw her magnificent smile, he was stupefied, He immediately shrugged and smiled. He looked like he felt at ease.
"What a pervert." said a voice from behind Lin Feng. He had the sensation that someone was staring at him. He turned around and saw Liu Fei who was glaring at him with evil eyes which surprised him.
That girl, was she jealous?
Lin Feng then looked at Meng Qing. She looked cold and detached like always. She wasn't looking at Lin Feng. How could this girl be so cold?
When Duan Tian Lang saw that everybody had gone back to their initial positions, he glanced at the crowd and said in a very loud voice: "Troops, let's head to battle!"
"Let's go!" shouted the several thousand troops. Immediately after, the ground was shaking from so many people moving towards Duan Ren City.
A few days later, a huge dust cloud covered the horizon. Thousands of troops were riding their horses on an ancient road. From above, their formation looked like a dragon's tail. There was a huge cloud of dust trailing behind them.
At the very front were two horses ridden by Lin Feng and Princess Duan Xin Ye. It had been her decision to ride a horse at the front with everybody else instead of sitting inside a carriage. She had given up her usual comfort and joined the soldiers.
Of course, in the world of cultivation, there were very few people who were pampered and spoilt even when it came to women. Cultivators could ride a horse over huge distances, for many days without rest and it was considered normal. They would only be slightly tired, nothing more.
The evening sun was on the horizon in the West. The sunlight coupled with the rosy clouds offered a splendid view.
In the distance, there was an old and simple city. Above the city the evening sun was slowly setting. It was quiet and tranquil. A small breeze was blowing through it which gave it a desolate impression.
Duan Ren City!
The troops finally arrived in Duan Ren City but the gate was firmly closed. The people in the city looked cold and remained motionless.
"Chief Commander Duan Tian Lang has arrived, hurry and open the city gate!" shouted some troops towards the people on the gate while raising their banner.
The people at the gate looked cold and indifferent. They glanced at the troops and one of them said: "Except for when the General gives us the order, we will not open the gate."
"What?" the troops were stupefied when they heard them. They wouldn't open the gate?
A soldier furiously shouted: "We are the Imperial City Troops! Here with the Chief Commander Duan Tian Lang. The Emperor has given us the order to come. I order you to open the gate and let us in."
"Only the General can give us an order." said the person as coldly as before. They didn't listen to anyone's orders apart from those given by their General.
Duan Ren City was under the control of General Liu Cang Lan, apart from him, nobody else could give orders to his troops.
"Liu Cang Lan… how audacious. It seems like he is not attaching importance to the Imperial City troops." said Duan Tian Lang coldly before adding: "Does he think that he has the highest social status in the country or what?"
When the crowd heard what Duan Tian Lang was saying about Liu Cang Lan, they started whispering all sorts of comments and at that moment Lin Feng smiled coldly and said: "What Duan Tian Lang is saying is impossible. He perfectly knows how strong we are but the fact that his people are not opening the gate until he gives them the order proves that he knows what he is doing. He taught them perfect military discipline."
"Besides, why do you say that he thinks his social status is higher than anyone in the country?"
"When Duan Tian Lang heard Lin Feng, he was stupefied. He coldly looked at Lin Feng and said: "What do you think gives you the right to intervene in my conversation? What do you intend to do?"
"You, Duan Tian Lang, are wrong. At the moment, I am the princess' personal guard. I will spare no effort to fulfil my duty. What you just said could have very serious consequences to the extent that it could trigger a mutiny. If something happened to the princess during such a mutiny, you would have to bear responsibility."
Lin Feng was fixedly staring at Duan Tian Lang, sounding neither lofty nor humble.

"Shut your mouth!" shouted Duan Tian Lang and then said coldly: "You have the gift when it comes to speech and enjoy babbling nonsense. Don't think that because you are the princess' personal guard you can act however you wish. The military has rules."
"Why don't you shut your mouth? I, Lin Feng, have come to Duan Ren City to help. I never said that I wanted to give orders to the troops. I am doing exactly what the second prince has asked me to do. I will stay next to the princess and protect her. What gives you the right to give me orders? I am not your subordinate."
Lin Feng shouted with the same tone as Duan Tian Lang. He had a cold smile on his face. They had already arrived in Duan Ren City, why did he need to fear Duan Tian Lang?
When Duan Tian Lang heard Lin Feng, he narrowed his eyes. He looked cold and murderous. In Duan Tian Lang's eyes, Lin Feng was part of his army. Even if he was the princess' personal guard, Duan Tian Lang still thought that he could play with Lin Feng as he wished. He hadn't thought that Lin Feng was going to contradict him in front of all the troops. What an insanely audacious guy.
At that moment, the crowd was also dumbstruck. They were blankly staring at Lin Feng. That guy was really insane. He surprisingly dared contradict his superior, the Chief Commander.
"Uncle Duan Tian Lang, what Lin Feng said is true. When the people of Duan Ren City see a military force that overwhelms them with numbers of unknown origin, they must adhere strictly to what they have been told and not open the gate. That is precisely why General Liu Cang Lan has ordered them not to act without his orders, and his methods are correct. What you are saying is inappropriate." said Duan Xin Ye, surprisingly defending Lin Feng. Everybody was astonished.
Under his helmet, Duan Tian Lang's eyes revealed a cold expression. He then said indifferently: "Princess, Your Highness, before discussing whether what I say is appropriate or not, considering the outrageous words Lin Feng has said, I first want to punish him."
"Punish me? You want to punish me?" said Lin Feng while smiling coldly. At that moment, Lin Feng already understood that Duan Tian Lang and the second prince were not on the same wavelength at all. If anyone wanted to attack Lin Feng, they wouldn't act because of Duan Wu Ya. He had said in front of the entire army that the princess was Lin Feng's only superior.
"Not obeying military orders can classify as treason and insubordination, which is an act that must be punished." said Duan Tian Lang.
"Treason and insubordination?" Lin Feng was staring at Duan Tian Lang: "What do you intend to do to me?"
"I don't want to make the princess lose face so I will not kill you. However, I will make your life a sheer hell and confine you to a prison. Then, I will talk with His Majesty and your destiny will be in his hands."
"Ridiculous." said Lin Feng with an indifferent attitude. Immediately after, he looked at Duan Xin Ye and said: "Princess, it is not that I don't want to protect you, it is just that Duan Tian Lang doesn't want to let me do it properly. I am leaving." Lin Feng urged his dragon colt horse away using the spurs while saying: "Anyone who wants to come with me is free to do so."
"I am curious to see who will dare to go with you." said Duan Tian Lang with a cold smile on his face. That guy was extremely audacious. Did he really want to die?
But when Duan Tian Lang finished his sentence, a great deal of people started moving towards Lin Feng: Meng Qing, Liu Fei, Wen Ao Xue, Yuan Shan, Duan Feng, etc. There was even Hei Mo, followed by thirty-two men wearing bronze masks. A huge group of people had come out to follow Lin Feng. Duan Tian Lang was astonished. He was wondering, since when did Lin Feng have so many companions?
"Princess, it's not that I am not willing to protect you, but Duan Tian Lang is trying to avenge his wrongs using his current title and doesn't allow me to protect you. Please take good care of yourself." Immediately after, Lin Feng left and galloped towards the city gate at full speed.
Everybody else was blankly staring at Lin Feng. The others were closely following him, which made the people in the crowd completely shocked.
"Kill them." shouted Duan Tian Lang coldly. Danger was imminent. Someone behind him took out an arrow and put it in his bow.
Lin Feng was stupefied. Cold energy was released from his body, but as before, he continued galloping forwards. He was ready to fight, but still continued towards the city gate.
"STOP!" A furious shout filled the air. That voice belonged to the soft and tender Duan Xin Ye.
"Princess, Your Highness, they are soldiers. If they disobey their orders, they must die." said Duan Tian Lang coldly while staring at Duan Xin Ye. A general in the field is not bound by the orders from his sovereign. That was particularly true in the case of Duan Tian Lang.
Once he left the imperial city, Duan Tian Lang was already ignoring Duan Wu Ya's orders and wanted to kill Lin Feng and his friends.
"How bold." thought the crowd. Yue Tian Chen and the others were smiling. What they didn't dare to do, Duan Tian Lang was going to do it for them.
"Orders?" said Duan Xin Ye looking cold. She wouldn't have thought that Duan Tian Lang could be that audacious.
"Today, whoever fires an arrow, I will kill you on the spot. We will see if Duan Tian Lang or anyone else will dare to stop me." shouted Princess Duan Xin Ye coldly. Everyone was astonished and felt extremely awkward.
Indeed, if Duan Xin Ye wanted to try and kill them, even if they wanted to fight back, they wouldn't. If they injured the princess, they were convinced that Duan Tian Lang wouldn't hesitate to kill them.
Duan Xin Ye and Lin Feng were not the same. She was the princess and her social status was extremely high. Duan Tian Lang may have been very audacious, but he would never dare cause harm to the princess.
Duan Tian Lang was stupefied. He wouldn't have thought that the princess would help Lin Feng to such a degree.
In a short time, Lin Feng and his friends were already far away from the army and were very close to the entrance into Duan Ren City. At that moment, even if an arrow touched them, it would not cause them much damage.
"I am Lin Feng. Brothers, could you please open the gate? Sorry for the inconvenience."
Lin Feng shouted these words to the soldiers at the top of the gate. These people could clearly see Lin Feng's face, and they smiled at him and said: "It's young master Lin Feng, open the gate."
"Lin Feng, young master, is Xiu okay?" said the soldiers on the top of the gate. At that moment, Liu Fei took off her helmet and her beautiful face appeared.
"Xiu, you came back." said a soldier, looking excited. At that moment, a rumbling noise spread through the air. Lin Feng and the others urged their horses forwards and entered the city.
This scene made the soldiers on the horizon look at each other in dismay. They didn't understand. They had come because of orders from the imperial clan, even Duan Tian Lang had joined them, but the city still would not open the gates for them.
"They are really audacious, General. Should we attempt to take the gate?" suggested someone behind Duan Tian Lang. Amongst them were many strong cultivators of the Ling Qi layer. The gate wasn't that high so it was easy for them to jump onto it. Destroying the gate would have looked like the city was being besieged. If given the order, they would fight to death against Duan Tian Lang's enemies.
Duan Tian Lang turned around and looked at the person with a sharp gaze.
"I came here to cooperate with Liu Cang Lan and defeat our common enemy. Do you want me to provoke them and cause trouble? Get the hell away from me."
"Indeed, General." said that person when they heard Duan Tian Lang's furious shout. They then moved away. The troops were furious and agitated.
How disgusting. They had come to help Liu Cang Lan fight the enemy, but they were blocked at the gate of the city. The good opinion they had of Liu Cang Lan vanished. They didn't understand why Duan Tian Lang was accepting such a humiliation.
At that moment, Lin Feng and the others were in Duan Ren City and noticed that the city was calm and in perfect order. There wasn't the slightest bit of chaos. At the same time, Liu Cang Lan appeared; he was taking a stroll through the city.
"Lin Feng, Fei Fei, you're here."
"Uncle Liu." shouted Lin Feng but he was only surprised and bewildered. He was staring at the distance.
"Lin Feng, are you wondering why Duan Ren City is so peaceful and why I don't let them come into the city?" said Liu Cang Lan as if he could read Lin Feng's thoughts.
"Please enlighten me with your explanations." said Lin Feng without admitting it.
Liu Cang Lan smiled wryly and said: "Lin Feng, I will definitely let you know my reasoning. You came to help us fight against Mo Yue Country because they were invading us and we urgently needed help, right?"
"Could it be that is not the case?" Lin Feng, when he heard Liu Cang Lan's words, narrowed his eyes as if he was realizing something.
Liu Cang Lan was smiling wryly and had a piercingly-cold expression within his smile.
"Duan Ren City is very calm. It isn't in danger at all. They haven't come to help us, but rather to seize the power. The Imperial City can't stand it anymore and has decided to attack me."

Lin Feng was dumbstruck. A short moment after, he took a deep breath.
"Oh… my… god." whispered Lin Feng. He thought that he had truly been tricked. He had really believed that Duan Ren City was in a critical situation. The imperial family was really hard to understand sometimes. They were living in two different worlds. For power and influence, there was nothing they wouldn't dare to do. They wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice other people.
"Are you going to let them wait outside this entire time?" asked Lin Feng. Liu Cang Lan smiled coldly and said: "Since I already knew their plans; invading my city without fighting is impossible. I want to see how they intend to seize my city as long as it's under my control."
"But Lin Feng, you shouldn't have come here with Fei Fei, it's a bad situation." said Liu Cang Lan with a wry smile on his face. In the past, he had asked Lin Feng to take Liu Fei with him because he didn't want them to get caught in such a situation. He hadn't thought that they would come back at the worst possible time.
"Since you're already here, you cannot escape now."
Lin Feng shrugged without paying attention and just smiled.
"Alright, let's go to the mansion." said Liu Cang Lan said while shaking his head and smiling wryly. He was astonished by the crowd following Lin Feng. Each and every single one of them looked like a deity and released a fine Qi. They were all very strong, especially the girl wearing a fine veil. She was releasing a pure Qi. Liu Cang Lan found her very mysterious.
"Fei Fei, was Lin Feng good to you?" asked Liu Cang Lan on the tone of a joke while looking at Liu Fei.
"Father." said Liu Fei while looking at her father. She then immediately looked at Lin Feng and said: "Lin Feng chose to be the princess' personal guard. It is a very big problem."
"Argh…." Lin Feng was stunned. That girl was really vicious.
"The princess' personal guard?" whispered Liu Cang Lan astonished.
"Father, you also don't know that Lin Feng in the Imperial City, Lin Feng befriended the second prince and that the princess thinks highly of him. The second prince even asked Lin Feng to take care of the princess."
When Lin Feng heard Liu Fei's vivid explanations, he couldn't help but had the feeling that he had done something bad and offended his father-in-law.
"Lin Feng." said Liu Cang Lan when he heard that Liu Fei was jealous. That guy was quite impressive, Liu Fei was already jealous of others.
"Uncle Liu, actually, I think that Liu Fei is more beautiful than the princess." said Lin Feng shamelessly and continued: "But it's just that Liu Fei continues to refuse when I ask for her to sleep with me……."
"Hehe." Lin Feng was forcing a smile while talking. Everybody around him was dumbstruck and looking at him with their eyes wide open in shock.
At that moment, Liu Cang Lan was astonished. Besides, Liu Fei knitted her brows and looked at Lin Feng in a furious way. She then said: "You perverted bastard!"
"Have I ever acted perverted, Fei Fei? You cannot lie in the presence of Uncle Liu. If I have ever been perverted with you, tell Uncle Liu about it." said Lin Feng in a decent way. Liu Fei almost fainted. That guy… was really shameless.
Liu Cang Lan was speechless as well. Immediately after, he burst into laughter so hard that tears ran down his face. He then fixedly stared at Lin Feng. It seemed like Lin Feng could make use of any situation.
Everybody else was astonished and looking at Lin Feng. How frivolous, unconventional, unrestrained and stubborn! He never reacted the way that people expected and his teasing Liu Fei was very comical. His personality at that moment and when he was fighting was completely different as if he was a different person.
The group all continued until they entered Liu Cang Lan's private mansion. Liu Cang Lan gave them a comfortable place to stay. However, Liu Cang Lan continued to leave Duan Tian Lang and the others outside of the city and ignored them.
Duan Tian Lang didn't cause trouble either. He calmly stayed with his troops outside of the city.
Three days later, Liu Cang Lan, Lin Feng and the others were having a meal when some shocking news arrived.
A sentinel came to inform them that the prince of Mo Yue, Mo Jie, was five hundred kilometers away from Duan Ren Border with his army. Considering their speed, the troops would only need two days to arrive in Duan Ren Border.
Lin Feng was surprised and looked at Liu Cang Lan. Liu Cang Lan's nickname was the Divine Arrow and his troops considered him as a deity and knew he was incredibly strong. However, when he heard that news, he lost his calm and stood up. The news was obviously very shocking.
Liu Cang Lan was stupefied and looking at Lin Feng and the others. He then slowly sat back down and said: "Mo Jie, the prince of Mo Yue is seventeen years old. He is a true genius. He is so young and has already broken through to the ninth Ling Qi layer. He is will soon break through to the Xuan Qi layer. Besides, he is equally as intelligent. It is said that when he gets involved in a war, he is invincible."
Lin Feng and the others were stupefied. Seventeen years old and had the strength of the ninth Ling Qi layer, that was indeed terrifying. He was much stronger than some of the high officials of Xue Yue.
Besides, that seventeen year old young man had never lost on the battlefield.
"Father, you have never lost either and you participated in many battles." said Liu Fei. The crowd was silently nodding. Liu Cang Lan the Divine Arrow was famous. He had been accumulating victories over a great number of years.
"I am not worried about that. Apart from his strength, he is also very important within the Mo Yue Country. If he gets involved in the fight, the country will use all their strength. The first reason is that they want to ensure his security and the second reason is prestige. Mo Jie is the symbol of the strength for their country. Therefore, that fight will be horrible for us."
Liu Cang Lan's face firmly wrinkled. There were troubles inside and outside of their country. Inside of the Xue Yue Country, the Emperor didn't trust him and meant him harm while outside, the Mo Yue Country wanted to invade them and had deployed all their forces. There was a huge crisis in Xue Yue.
At that moment, Liu Cang Lan stood up and said: "You can continue to eat. I'm going to the city gate to have a look."
Lin Feng was stupefied. He understood what Liu Cang Lan was saying. He wanted to let Duan Tian Lang enter the city and go fight the enemy together.
"No wonder he has such a high reputation. He is extremely wise as well as strong." thought the crowd. He knew that Duan Tian Lang had come to seize his city but he would let him enter to fight against Mo Jie on his side. That was a very difficult decision to make for an ordinary person.
"The prince of Mo Yue, Mo Jie!" whispered Lin Feng. It seemed that this time, the Mo Yue country was turning out in force and was ready to attack. It seemed like a great calamity. Lin Feng hadn't thought that he would go through such things.
"I'm coming too." said Lin Feng at that moment while standing up and then walking towards Liu Cang Lan. Everybody was stupefied and suddenly followed Lin Feng.
At that moment, in the middle of the city, it was still very peaceful and calm. Since Liu Cang Lan was in the city, nothing ever happened there.
However, the calm in the city felt like the calm before a storm. The smell of war was moving closer.

Outside of Duan Ren, only hills and valleys could be seen over the boundless distance.
That area was covered with dust blowing in the wind. In that remote area, white tents were erected everywhere which looked like a small city.
The troops stationed there all belonged to the Xue Yue Country.
Duan Ren Border was the only way to reach Duan Ren City. Besides, Duan Tian Border was just a huge valley. From Duan Ren City, there was a panoramic view of the valley so if enemies came, they could easily spot them with a glance.
Therefore, Liu Cang Lan couldn't let the troops of Mo Yue enter Duan Ren Border that easily. He had troops guarding the outer border. Except for critical situations, his troops normally wouldn't go to Duan Ren Border.
At that moment, Lin Feng and Liu Cang Lan were together above the city gate of Duan Ren City. They were looking at Duan Tian Lang and his troops. They had passed through Duan Ren City and were heading towards the border.
Liu Cang Lan had eventually allowed Duan Tian Lang to come into Duan Ren City but there was only one condition, he and his troops were not allowed to stay in Duan Ren City. They had to leave immediately and go to Duan Ren Border and establish their military camp. They had to stay there and defend in case of attack.
Duan Tian Lang had accepted those conditions. Once inside Duan Ren City, he had surprisingly continued and moved towards Duan Ren Border.
"Lin Feng, let's go to the campsite." said Liu Cang Lan indifferently when he saw that the troops were moving to the Duan Ren Border. Lin Feng slightly nodded and they immediately went down the stairs and headed towards the Duan Ren Border.
In Duan Ren Border, there were countless old broken weapons on the ground. While walking through the valley, the wind was howling. Immediately after, coldness invaded Lin Feng's body started in the legs and then spreading to the rest of his body. Lin Feng's heart started beating a bit faster.
There were so many weapons covering the ground in Duan Ren Border. They had all been broken during the war and their owners had all died on the battlefield. Those days, Duan Ren Border was a sea of broken weapons which diffused a cold energy like mist across the ground.
Lin Feng inhaled a deep breath. He looked calm and solemn, but his heart was trembling. It was impossible for anyone to look at such a scene and not be touched.
They walked to the other side of Duan Ren Border where there was a precipice.
Lin Feng gazed into the distance and thought that the cliffs were incredibly beautiful but he was still aware that danger lurked there.
Liu Cang Lan could easily take advantage of the landscape.
Even though there was no imminent danger at the moment, as before, Lin Feng felt an oppressive cold Qi while walking in the valley. Only after having entirely passed through it could Lin Feng relax.
"Psshhhh…."
There were tents as far as Lin Feng's eyes could see. At that moment, he took a very deep breath and said: "Uncle Liu, how many troops are there here?"
"Three hundred thousand." replied Liu Cang Lan indifferently. In the Continent of the Nine Clouds, amongst cultivators, there weren't many who were willing to join the army. Otherwise, three hundred thousand stationed troops was a trivial number considering that the Xue Yue Country had billions of people.
The Mo Yue Country was entirely unified under their Emperor. There wasn't any sects, which had influence. In their country, they always say 'A single army is stronger'. Amongst the nine other countries of Xue Yue, their army was considered as one of the strongest. They had over three million troops. They always had ambitions to conquer the other countries. Xue Yue and Mo Yue were neighbors so Mo Yue wanted to take the initiative to invade.
"The sentinels have reported that this time, the Mo Yue army has over five hundred thousand troops." said Liu Cang Lan indifferently. Lin Feng was astonished. That meant two hundred thousand more than them. That was a terrifying amount.
"Duan Tian Lang also brought a hundred thousand troops, if he wholeheartedly cooperates with me, the Mo Yue Country is far from being able to invade us. Our geographical position is very advantageous. The opponents may have five hundred thousand troops but if Duan Tian Lang and I manage to efficiently cooperate then the terrain advantage will make it too difficult for them to invade." said Liu Cang Lan. There wasn't much hope but, Liu Cang Lan had high expectations.
The soldiers on the Chi Xie armored horses were rigorously protecting the campsite. The best soldiers of were there.
Liu Cang Lan and Lin Feng arrived on the campsite and said: "Make Han Man and Po Jun come to my tent."
"Roger, General." said an officer. A short time after, two silhouettes entered the tent. The one leading them was a robust young man. His face was well proportioned according to his body. He looked determined and strict.
These two people were both wearing red armor. Only their eyes which contained a golden light, were visible.
The two people moved into the tent. They were about to salute Liu Cang Lan but when they saw Lin Feng, they were dumbstruck. Immediately after, inside his armor, a wholehearted smile appeared on the face of the robust man.
"Lin Feng, big brother." Han Man rushed over to tightly hugged Lin Feng. Behind him, Po Jun was also smiling warmly. No sharp Qi was being released from his body but he was as full of vitality.
"Lin Feng, you guys can chat, I am going to see Duan Tian Lang as he settles down." said Liu Cang Lan with a warm and soft smile on his face. Immediately after, he left the tent leaving Lin Feng and his friends alone.
"Han Man, Po Jun, are you getting used to this place?" asked Lin Feng.
"We are used to it. Lin Feng, big brother, Po Jun and I are now controlling elite troops. The General has put them under our control. They are all very strong and all have an outstanding background."
Han Man's voice was filled with pride. He hadn't been there for a very long time and already had a thousand troops under his control. To achieve this, he had only relied on his own efforts. Liu Cang Lan wasn't the type of person who gave privileges to people because he was friendly with them but he knew how to recognize people's natural talents.
"Have you been in many dangerous situations?" Lin Feng didn't really care about what his two friends had accomplished, he was more concerned with their safety.
"We haven't been in many dangerous situations. Po Jun and I have broken through to the fourth Ling Qi layer." said Han Man while smiling proudly making Po Jun smile wryly. "Lin Feng, brother, Han Man has become a monster. There were some enemies waiting in an ambush outside of the country. In the end, he ended up fighting against two strong cultivators of the fifth Ling Qi layer and slaughtered them as well as all the rest of their members. His spirit has awakened and it provides him with endless strength. However, when he killed them, his body was completely wrecked by the time the battle was over."
"Alone, he killed two cultivators of the fifth Ling Qi layer as well as all the other people?" Lin Feng's pupils shrank. He was pleasantly surprised. Besides, Han Man had just broken through to the fifth Ling Qi layer.
Han Man scratched his head with a shy smile on his face. He then said: "I don't know what happened either. Since my spirit awakened, it seems like I am able to fuse with the earth and absorb its strength to make it my own. With this power, killing these two cultivators of the fifth Ling Qi layer wasn't too difficult."
"Could it be a blood spirit…?" thought Lin Feng. When Han Man was at the Prisoner Arena, his spirit had awakened once already when he broke through to the Ling Qi layer. It was obviously different than a normal spirit as it had awakened a second time.
"Lin Feng, Po Jun speaks highly of me but he's also been hiding things from us. He is also able to defeat cultivators of the fifth Ling Qi layer." said Han Man which made Lin Feng stupefied. Po Jun was also able to defeat cultivators of the fifth Ling Qi layer?
"Be honest and explain these things to Lin Feng yourself." said Han Man while glancing at Po Jun.
Po Jun shook his head while smiling and immediately walked towards Lin Feng: "Lin Feng, big brother, take a look."
While speaking, Po Jun stretched his hand and a vine slowly emerged. It looked like an illusion but was real. When it reached Lin Feng's body, Lin Feng could feel that it was solid. That was Po Jun's vine spirit which he could use to attack people by surprise.
But at that moment, a sharp energy suddenly emerged from Po Jun's body. His pupils suddenly became dark and looked piercingly sharp.
A black illusion suddenly slowly emerged from his back. In the middle of that illusion, a long black spear was floating and was pointing towards the vault of heaven.
"Dual spirit." Lin Feng's pupils shrank. That was another spirit.
Po Jun had a dual spirit!
The vine spirit and the illusionary spear vanished in the blink of an eye. Po Jun was smiling indifferently. His dual spirit were his most powerful trump card. He even hid it from Han Man for a while.
"Haha, awesome, a dual spirit… Po Jun, you and Han Man are the same, you are both geniuses. No wonder when I first met you, the expression in your eyes looked so sharp."
Lin Feng was smiling wholeheartedly. His two good friends were amazingly strong which made him very happy. Han Man's spirit had been awakened a second time which probably meant he possessed a blood spirit and Po Jun surprisingly had a dual spirit which was extremely rare.
"Having a dual spirit is no big deal, especially when you have a big slave mark on your face. It's as if I already died long ago in the Prisoner Arena." said Po Jun while sighing.
Lin Feng looked at Po Jun and said: "Po Jun, don't worry about that mark on your face, sooner or later, I will help you remove it."
Every drop of blood could go through a rebirth process on the path of cultivation. It was very easy to modify and alter the network of blood vessels, therefore, removing that slave mark would be as easy as turning one's hand over.
"That's right, don't get depressed. We will get rid of these marks, sooner or later." said Han Man while smiling and continued: "Lin Feng, let's go for a walk. I will tell you more about the other troops and the current situation."
"Alright." Lin Feng nodded and immediately after, the three friends left the tent.
They walked towards the troops outside of the tent.
Po Jun said: "Lin Feng, big brother, amongst the troops, there are different categories, the guards, the sergeants, the lieutenants, the non-commissioned officers and the officers. The guards have ten soldiers under their control. The sergeants have ten guards, and therefore indirectly a hundred soldiers, under their control. The lieutenants which Po Jun and I are, have ten sergeants under their control and indirectly control all of their soldiers, which is a thousand in total. Even higher in the ranks, there are the non-commissioned officers who control ten lieutenants and therefore ten thousand soldiers."
"Our troops are composed of a total of three hundred thousand soldiers. Excluding General Liu Cang Lan, there are three officers divided into a left, right and middle. Besides, each officer has ten non-commissioned officers under their control."
"Besides, there are also the Chi Xie armored troops with special commanders. Po Jun and I are part of that category. "
Lin Feng understood how the military ranks worked. The hierarchy was strict. It didn't differ much from the previous world. The lower ranked had to execute the orders given by the higher ranked.

"Han Man, how strong are these officers?" asked Lin Feng. He wanted to understand the potential of the army. The best way to find out was to understand how strong the officers were.
"Ordinary soldiers are all at the Qi layer. Guards are at the peak of the Qi layer. Sergeants are required to have broken through to the Ling Qi layer. It's even stricter for the Lieutenants who are required to have broken through, at least, the third Ling Qi layer. Non-commissioned officers must have broken through to the sixth Ling Qi layer and as far as the three officers are concerned, one is at the eighth Ling Qi layer and the two others are at the ninth Ling Qi layer. One more step and they'll reach the Xuan Qi layer. They are extremely strong."
Han Man explained these things in details to Lin Feng. Strength was the most important thing in the cultivation world, especially within the army. Strength was required when speaking to soldiers, it was impossible to rely only on one's military exploits, strength was necessary to make subordinates obey orders. Even on the battlefield, without strength, it was too easy to get killed. Being inspiring and intimidating was the biggest challenge.
"Lin Feng, big brother, we stand alone as the Chi Xie troops. Even though the number is not as numerous as for the other parts of the army, their average strength is much higher than the other soldiers. Besides, the officer of the Chi Xie troops is at the peak of the ninth Ling Qi layer. It is said that he is about to break through to the Xuan Qi layer. How majestic!" added Han Man. Lin Feng understood why the situation was that way. The Chi Xie troops were elite troops created by Liu Cang Lan himself. It was impossible for them not to be the strongest unit within the army.
The armor they were wearing was different from that of the other soldiers. They all had black and gold armor which greatly increased their defense. Besides, the armor had a red luster to it which made the soldiers look incredibly majestic. That is why Han Man and Po Jun wore the armor. It made them strike fear into people. One glance was enough to scare people away as if the armor contained the swift and fierce Qi of the Chi Xie.
"Lin Feng big brother, you can ask the General to give you a lieutenant position so that we can fight the enemy together." Han Man's voice was filled with enthusiasm. Lin Feng had come to fight the enemy. If they could fight together side by side as brothers, they would certainly be even more inspired and motivated.
"Lin Feng." At that moment, five people were moving towards them. The one taking the lead was Liu Cang Lan. When Han Man and Po Jun saw these people, they stood perfectly straight, slightly bowed and performed a military salute: "General, Officer!"
"Hm." Liu Cang Lan slightly nodded and said: "Han Man, Po Jun, you two can leave."
"Roger, General!" said Han Man and Po Jun while looking at Lin Feng with a mysterious smile on their faces. Immediately after, they left.
"Lin Feng, come in, they're with me." said Liu Cang Lan. Immediately after, he and the four people entered the tent. Lin Feng closely followed behind them.
In the tent, Liu Cang Lan and the four others sat down in different places and stared at Lin Feng who was standing. Lin Feng was also staring back at them.
Lin Feng looked at the two people on Liu Cang Lan's sides. One was wearing a black and gold armor and the other one was wearing golden armor. The two others were wearing silver armor.
Besides, these people's expressions all looked sharp and majestic. They were calmly sitting there but Lin Feng had the impression that the Chi Xie troops Qi was filling the atmosphere.
"Lin Feng, this is the officer of the Chi Xie troops, Jiu Chi Xie. This is the middle officer, Ren Qing Kuang. This is the left officer, Feng Yu Han, and this is the right officer, Lei Qing Tian." Liu Cang Lan introduced these people to Lin Feng. Jiu Chi Xie, the officer of the Chi Xie troops, was wearing the Chi Xie armor. Ren Qing Kuang was wearing the golden armor. The left and the right officers, Feng Yu Han and Lei Qing Tian were wearing silver armor.
Liu Cang Lan had appointed these people to lead huge portions of the army: three hundred thousand troops in total. Their power and influence reached the heavens.
Lin Feng slightly bowed in front of these people, but he was full of questions. He didn't know why Uncle Liu had introduced him to all these people.
Liu Cang Lan had left for a walk and had come back with these four people. It was clearly intentional and was no coincidence at all.
"This is Lin Feng whom I was telling you about. The one who has conquered Fei Fei's heart, my future son-in-law." said Liu Cang Lan to the four officers while smiling. Lin Feng was dumbstruck. Liu Cang Lan was surprisingly officially declaring that Liu Fei and Lin Feng had an intimate relation and that he was going to become his son-in-law.
Even though Lin Feng knew that Liu Cang Lan was trying to match Liu Fei and Lin Feng, however they were just friends. There was nothing intimate between them. Liu Cang Lan's words made Lin Feng feel very surprised, but since he spoke that way, Lin Feng couldn't contradict him. He had no choice but to nod and confirm.
"I am curious to see what kind of man Liu Fei likes." The right officer Lei Qing Tian stood up and took a few steps towards Lin Feng and suddenly, an incredible amount of Qi moved straight towards Lin Feng.
That Qi smelt like blood and death. Lin Feng, at that moment, had the impression that the person in front of him wasn't a human being but a demonic killing machine. His hands were covered with an endless amount of blood belonging to his victims.
"How terrifying." Lin Feng was remained motionless. That insane Qi was able to affect people's determination. The terrifying Qi was extremely oppressing.
Lin Feng didn't dare imagine how many lives he had taken to become an officer. Such a Qi was monstrous.
"Huh?" Lei Qing Tian looked interested when he saw that Lin Feng was remaining calm. Immediately after, he took another step towards Lin Feng. He was now about one meter away from Lin Feng and his bloodthirsty eyes were staring at Lin Feng. He looked like a demon.
Lin Feng's facial expression was still the same. He was calmly looking into these two eyes. With his determination, it was difficult for external things to affect or scare Lin Feng.
Out of Lin Feng's body suddenly emerged a dense and thick battle energy. It wasn't as terrifying as the officer's Qi but it was piercingly cold and smelt like death. Even if it wasn't as strong as the powerful Qi he was facing, it was still a brave move from Lin Feng.
"BOOOM!" Lin Feng took a step forward. He surprisingly didn't move backward, but forward. After that step, only two steps were separating Lin Feng and Lei Qing Tian. They both looked fierce and determined. The Qi and the burning battle energy collided in the air. Lin Feng's long hair was fluttering from the wind created by the shockwaves.
That entire scene was only about ten seconds in length. Lei Qing Tian's Qi then slowly vanished. He had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Not bad. Not only didn't you move away from me but you came closer. I like that." said Lei Qing Tian while smiling wholeheartedly. He tapped Lin Feng's shoulders which made his body shake. He was extremely strong.
"No wonder Fei Fei likes him. For someone of his age, having a strength which exceeds the fifth Ling Qi layer is really good." said the left officer Feng Yu Han while nodding and smiling.
The atmosphere in the tent wasn't serious and solemn at all anymore.
"If I'm not mistaken, he has already broken through to the sixth Ling Qi layer, right?" said the middle officer Ren Qing Kuang while smiling. Lin Feng slightly nodded and said: "Officer Ren, you are right."
"You are not even eighteen yet. Having reached such a cultivation level is quite impressive. Those who help us here are much weaker. You have unlimited possibilities with your talent. Too bad that you are not going to stay for very long amongst the army."
Ren Qing Kuang's voice was filled with regret. Talented young cultivators didn't stay within the army. All they were seeking was enlightenment on the path of cultivation. Even when they fought on the side of the army, it was just to gain practical experience and become stronger. Situations where life and death were at stake helped them to become stronger. That kind of cultivator would leave the army after having completed their training.
People like Liu Cang Lan were rare. Because of his function as General, he had many burdens and obligations. He had amazing talent and was constantly getting stronger even with these burdens.
Being a general wasn't ordinary cultivation training, he had to motivate the hearts of the officers and the troops.
Lin Feng's natural talent was much more frightening than Liu Cang Lan's talent. He was obviously not going to stay within the army.
From the four officers, only Jiu Chi Xie hadn't said a word. He looked solemn and respectful. His facial expression looked like it had been frozen for a thousand years.
"Alright, you can go back to your positions. Chi Xie, you can stay here." said Liu Cang indifferently. The three officers nodded and left the tent.
"Lin Feng." shouted, Jiu Chi Xie, who had been silent all this time.
"Huh?" Lin Feng raised his head and looked Jiu Chi Xie guessing that the man had something to tell him.
"Lin Feng, in the Chi Xie troops, apart from me as an officer, there are three non-commissioned officers, thirty lieutenants, three hundred sergeants and three thousand guards. In total, there are 28,521 Chi Xie armored horses. All our troops are elite fighters. Our strategy is to fight one against ten. Even though we have less troops than the other factions, if we attack, we win." said Jiu Chi Xie in a calm and solemn tone. His words were poignant. Besides, he surprisingly perfectly remembered the exact number of Chi Xie horses they had. It was incredible that he knew the exact number, during battles, they could die at any moment, so it was difficult to establish accurate statistics. People would normally just have a general idea.
"Lin Feng, will you remember this?" Said Jiu Chi Xie which surprised Lin Feng. Why did Jiu Chi Xie want Lin Feng to remember it?
But Lin Feng still nodded and said: "I will."
"Then it's good. Lin Feng, every single member of the Chi Xie troops is an elite soldier. After each battle, remember how many we have lost. I will then know how many of our brothers have passed away. It will sadden me more with each death. So that next time, I will do my best and spare no efforts to greatly reduce the number of my brothers that have to die."
Jiu Chi Xie was speaking from his heart. Lin Feng deeply respected him Jiu Chi Xie was indubitably an outstanding officer who was like a brother to his troops which is why he remembered all of them.

Early in the morning, in the white fog, a bugle call filled the air and everybody on the military site could hear it.
In one tent, there was Lin Feng and he was wearing red armor which was the color of fresh blood.
He raised his head and looked in the horizon. He said to himself: "They have finally arrived."
In the middle of the night, he had received the information that the troops of the Mo Yue Country were already fifty kilometers away, but they weren't attacking. They were just setting up a campsite.
The troops of the Xue Yue Country couldn't afford to neglect safety and they had sentinels making rounds and watching every single action performed by the troops from the Mo Yue Country. That bugle call, followed by the sounds of the war drums, probably meant the beginning of the war.
The sound was unceasing but there wasn't the least bit of chaos inside the camp. Instead, everyone was extremely organized. The battle could start at any moment, it was impossible for the troops to panic because of that.
a few silhouettes appeared and were all wearing red armor in Lin Feng's tent. Their faces were covered by their helmets but their expressions were sharp when looking towards Lin Feng.
"Follow me." said Lin Feng indifferently. Immediately after, he left the tent and jumped on his dragon colt horse. The others also calmly jumped on their Chi Xie armored horses and followed him.
The other Chi Xie troops looked at Lin Feng and the people following him. There were about forty people. Their armor was an even bloodier red than the other soldiers to the extent that it was dazzling to the eye. It looked like the morning sun shining on a puddle of blood. Forty people wasn't enough to make a complete squad within the army either.
In the army, sergeants controlled a hundred people.
Lin Feng and the others galloped past them at full speed. A short time after, they arrived in a place where the two military factions were facing each other.
In front of Lin Feng, there was a vast black ocean of troops who were releasing a deadly Qi. They were the soldiers of the Mo Yue Country.
Before, Lin Feng had never seen a battlefield except on television in his previous life. When he saw it, intense feelings invaded his heart. In the middle of all these troops, one person was like a grain of sand.
These hundreds of thousands of people, if they all used a bow, they could kill a single opponent in a flash, even if they had broken through to the Xuan Qi layer.
On the battlefield, extremely strong cultivators were rare so relying on personal strength was too difficult. That's why Liu Cang Lan, back in the days, beheaded the leader of the enemy troops who was giving orders.
Amongst the troops of the Xue Yue Country, the left, right and middle troops were in perfect formation but the Chi Xie troops were dispersed across the army.
Concerning the Imperial City troops which followed Duan Tian Lang, they were in formation shoulder to shoulder with the middle troops.
Liu Cang Lan, Jiu Chi Xie and Ren Qing Kuang were at the very front of the troops.
"Brother Liu, the enemy is arriving and they look terrifyingly strong. It seems like they have over five hundred thousand troops. How are we supposed to cope with them?" asked Duan Tian Lang indifferently while galloping towards Liu Cang Lan.
"Duan Tian Lang, do you think that the prince of Mo Yue will directly attack us?" said Liu Cang Lan while turning his head around and looking at Duan Tian Lang. He sounded cold and indifferent. While two armies were facing each other, even if one was in numeral superiority, it was impossible for them to launch a direct attack. A war was about exchanging lives, even if they won, the result would be tragic. Considering the reputation of Mo Yue, it was impossible for them to launch such an attack.
"Brother Liu, you always understand the enemy properly before the beginning of the war. I admire that." said Duan Tian Lang while smiling indifferently. "It's just that there is a huge number of possibilities. What about the princess? She is amongst the troops right now. If something happens to her, who will bear the responsibility? I think that you should find a solution to win as soon as possible."
"The princess came with you so it's your duty to ensure her security." said Liu Cang Lan while smiling coldly. The troops were going to engage in a close combat from morning to evening and Dan Tian Lang was asking Liu Cang Lan to fight a solution to win as quickly as possible. Not only did he make him bear the responsibility for the battle but was also making him responsible for the security of the princess. That was ridiculous.
"Brother, how can you talk that way? This territory is yours, I am a guest. Since it's that way, the princess' safety is in your hands. Obviously, if you don't care about that, you should remember that you took away the princess' personal guard." said Duan Tian Lang coldly while looking at Lin Feng.
"Duan Tian Lang, you are facing the enemy army and surprisingly you are still in the mood for boring conversations and refuse to assume your own responsibilities." said Lin Feng while urging on his horse. Under his armor, his facial expression was extremely sharp, he then said: "If anything happens to the princess, I will die, but could it be that you are forgetting about your own responsibilities?"
When he finished talking, Lin Feng didn't wait for Duan Tian Lang to reply and immediately urged on his horse galloping towards Duan Xin Ye.
At that moment, Duan Xin Ye was also wearing armor but her beautiful eyes were not hidden by her helmet. In order to see, there was a slit for the eyes.
Behind Lin Feng was a group of people wearing bright red armor. Their faces were entirely covered except for their eyes which looked extremely sharp and cruel.
"What are you doing here?" asked Yue Tian Chen who was protecting Duan Xin Ya on her other side. When he saw Lin Feng, he looked vigilant and cold.
"That's none of your business." replied Lin Feng coldly. He then handed over a helmet to Duan Xin Ye and said: "Princess, that helmet will protect your face. It's better for you to wear it."
"Alright, thank you." said Duan Xin Ye while putting it on her head. In case of sudden attack, that helmet would be much safer for her.
"Lin Feng, you are my personal guard, stay here and protect Me." said Duan Xin Ye with a beautiful smile on her face. In case of danger, her face would be protected. At that moment, she was wearing the helmet so only her beautiful eyes were visible. On the back of her horse, she looked majestic and heroic.
Lin Feng was surprised and immediately nodded: "Alright."
Yue Tian Chen stared at Lin Feng in an ice-cold way but Lin Feng ignored him and gazed at the boundless distance.
Suddenly, the army of the enemy appeared. Many people were mounted within the enemy army. A cloud of dust filled the air. They were about a kilometer away from the Xue Yue army when they stopped.
"We are the black guards of the Mo Yue Country. Thirty-six people, who dares to fight us?" said a loud and deep voice. The black guards of the Mo Yue Country were like the Chi Xie troops in Xue Yue. They were the elite soldiers.
Jiu Chi Xie looked calm when he saw them and said sounding indifferent he said: "Don't fight."
The Chi Xie troops looked expressionless. They had no particular feeling. Orders were like mountains. They only obeyed orders and were never swayed away by their personal feelings.
"Don't fight?" said Duan Tian Lang while smiling coldly. He raised his head and said arrogantly: "The Chi Xie troops are the elite forces of the Xue Yue Country and today we are at war, surprisingly you said we're not fighting… Why are you ruining the troops' mood, what is you purpose?"
"Duan Tian Lang, if you want to fight, then send your own troops." replied Jiu Chi Xie coldly while glancing at Duan Tian Lang. The black guards were all outstanding. Not a single person was weak. Powerful Qi was emerging from their bodies. No wonder that they were elite troops.
"So that's how the Chi Xie troops are! What a band of scoundrels. Even though I am not talented, I will also not move back!" shouted Duan Tian Lang in an extremely loud voice so that everyone could hear him. In a flash, Duan Tian Lang moved all of his troops forward. Every day, he found the Chi Xie troops more and more disappointing. First, they hadn't opened the city gate for him and at that moment they didn't dare fight. Liu Cang Lan didn't deserve his nickname "The Divine Arrow".
"Amongst the people of the Celestial Academy, who is willing to fight? I can send out thirty five elite troops and let you lead the battle." said Duan Tian Lang while galloping towards the students of the Celestial Academy. "Of course, if none of you wants to fight, I will send someone from the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue."
"I want to fight." said someone at that moment amongst the people of the Celestial Academy. A young man came out and energy was emerging from his body.
"Alright. Students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue and of the Celestial Academy are all outstanding disciples in the Xue Yue Country. Thirty five elite disciples, come out and go fight along with that young man. Show them how majestic and prestigious our country is." said Duan Tian Lang heroically.
"How strong are these black guards?" asked Lin Feng with a subtle question.
"Thirty six people, the weakest ones are at the third Ling Qi layer, ten of them are of the fourth Ling Qi layer, six of them at the fifth Ling Qi layer, two at the sixth one and one at the seventh." said Ba Dao in a low voice.
Lin Feng was astonished. These black guards were strong. The weakest were at the third Ling Qi layer. They were very strong. Surprisingly, there was even one at the seventh Ling Qi layer who alone could defeat a hundred Chi Xie troops. Jiu Chi Xie had chosen not to fight, he obviously had a good reason.
The Mo Yue Country had directly sent such an elite formation of soldiers, this was a tactic of war.
At that moment, the thirty six people were already leaving, Lin Feng saw the Qi that students of the Celestial Academy were releasing and said: "You cannot join the fight, you will all die."
"Huh?" said a young man while frowning and looking at Lin Feng. He then immediately replied: "Lin Feng, you and me are both military students, I thought that you were hot blooded like me. I wouldn't have thought that you would be a coward."
When he finished talking, that young man immediately galloped towards the black guards.
When these black guards saw the Xue Yue people arrive, they firmly held their spears. When the Xue Yue cultivators arrived in front of them, they released a powerful Qi and they all threw their spears which flew through the air at incredible speeds.
At that moment, there were horses chaotically running around and neighing. The spears had all reached their destination: the hearts of the thirty six Xue Yue cultivators. Thirty six strong and famous Xue Yue cultivators had just met a violent death.
One spear had been enough.
Lin Feng looked expressionless. He had warned them, but they hadn't listened to him. What else could he do?
The thirty-six black guards took back their spears, went back in formation and shouted: "The Black Guards invite the Xue Yue Chi Xie troops come and fight."

The Xue Yue army was silently looking at that row of black guards. They were astonished.
These thirty six black guards were incredibly strong. These black guards and their spears were proud and despised the Xue Yue army. They could kill people with a simple toss of their weapons.
When they heard the invitation of the black guards, the Xue Yue army remained silent.
"Glorious deaths, they deserve respect. Not all the students of the Celestial Academy are cowards who don't dare fight." said Duan Tian Lang in a low voice. Then, sounding inspiring, he said: "Amongst the geniuses of the Celestial Academy, who is willing to go and avenge your fellow students?"
"Cowards who don't dare fight?" Lin Feng obviously understood whom Duan Tian Lang was talking about. Everybody did.
"As you said, we are bound by a common hatred for the enemy. The Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue and the Celestial Academy are fighting as brothers. I heard that your son, Duan Han, is an outstanding genius. He has also come to the battlefield to acquire practical experience. I would like to invite Duan Han to regain our countries prestige, as our country has just been humiliated." Said Lin Feng.
"Let Duan Han go and accomplish the heroic deed." said a person behind Lin Feng extremely loudly.
"Let Duan Han go and become a hero." shouted a person in the middle of Chi Xie troops. These voices were deafening to Duan Han's ears.
Duan Han and his father were staring at Lin Feng. How cruel and sly. They had almost forgotten their original evil and malicious intentions.
"You just said, a moment ago, that dying on the battlefield was a glorious death, worthy of respect. Duan Han is not a coward, he is extremely powerful. He would not be scared and turn down a fight. No matter what the result of the battle is, it doesn't matter, it is glorious and worthy of respect. Therefore, I want to invite, Duan Han to fight for his country." said Lin Feng firmly.
"Let Duan Han go and fight." said another voice extremely loudly. Duan Tian Lang was fixedly and coldly staring at Lin Feng. That bastard was putting him in a situation which he could not get himself out of.
"If I want to fight, I can decide myself, what is the point in putting so much pressure on others?" shouted Duan Han to Lin Feng loudly enough so that everybody could hear him clearly.
"Shut up."
When Duan Han finished talking, Lin Feng shouted even louder: "You and your father are really shameless. I put pressure on you to go and fight? You don't even dare fight. Since the beginning, you have only sent students of the Celestial Academy to fight because you want them all to die."
Lin Feng was surprisingly verbally attacking Duan Tian Lang and his son in the presence of all the troops. Everybody was stupefied but the students of the Celestial Academy, who were initially not reacting, narrowed their eyes. They became aware of how malicious and sly Duan Tian Lang was being.
"Lin Feng, do you know to whom you are talking?" said Duan Tian Lang sounding extremely evil. He was the chief commander of all the army and Lin Feng surprisingly dared humiliate him.
"I am not under the authority of the chief commander." said Lin Feng coldly.
Duan Tian Lang wanted to speak but suddenly a cold voice spread: "Duan Tian Lang, I let you enter the city for you to help us fight against the enemy, not for you to cause trouble here and act childishly." It was obviously Liu Cang Lan. Immediately after, he looked at Lin Feng and said: "You contradicted Chief Commander Duan Tian Lang and that is an offense. You go fight and atone for your crime with military accomplishments."
"Roger, General." nodded Lin Feng solemnly and respectfully. Immediately after, he looked in front of him and started galloping at full speed on the back of his dragon colt horse. He was closely followed by more than thirty fighters wearing blood red armor. A cloud of dust rose around them.
When the black guards saw Lin Feng and the others approach, they threw their spears at terrifying speeds which emitted whistling sounds as they pierced through the air. Powerful Qi was emerging from their spears. The sounds of the spears piercing through the air spread across the battlefield.
"Break!" said Lin Feng at that moment. Immediately after, all the fighters surrounding him took out weapons which diffused a resplendent glow and cut the spears down.
"Psshhh… pshhh."
The crowd only saw that these spears which were moving towards Lin Feng and all the others at full speed had just been broken and some had been split midair.
"What's going on?"
Everybody was shocked. How was that possible? Even though Lin Feng and his fighters were stronger than the opponents, it wasn't possible for them to be able to break those spears so easily.
"What sharp weapons!" The crowd was looking at the weapons Lin Feng and the fighters were holding in their hands, they were extremely sharp.
"Go!" After Lin Feng said that word, they galloped towards the opponents at full speed and in the blink of an eye, blood splashed high into the air and the sound of cutting flesh followed by horses neighing filled the air.
Ba Dao's blade moved through the air and released tyrannical blade energy. His strength of the sixth Ling Qi layer meant death for all the black guards.
Lin Feng's long sword was dazzling as he attacked the leader of the black guards, who was at the seventh Qi layer.
His sword twinkled and immediately pierced through the atmosphere releasing an insane amount of deadly energy.
In the blink of an eye, half of the black guards were dead and many of them were injured.
"Block!" the leader of the black guards blocked Lin Feng's sword while his face turned deathly pale. Since when were there such strong cultivators recruited into the Chi Xie troops?
Invincible.
In the middle of the fight, the black guards suddenly started turning around and insanely urging their horses to retreat. The whole Xue Yue army was dumbstruck.
"Kill!" said Lin Feng. Everybody understood clearly, they all readied their weapons as they caught up with the black guards and gave them a bloody, violent death.
Lin Feng on his dragon colt horse and the others on their Chi Xie armored horses continued chasing the remaining black guards who were still trying to escape.
At that moment, a strong and robust silhouette jumped from his Chi Xie armored horse, roared loudly and stamped onto the ground. A huge crater appeared in the earth under the black guards making them all collapse into the crater, unable to escape.
"Break."
The leader of the black guards grabbed his second spear and thrust it into the wall of the crater. A loud rumble filled the air, the ground was shaking. A hole had appeared in the wall where the spear landed. The chief of the black guards wanted to escape through that hole.
"Stay there!"
Immediately, vines appeared and wrapped around the black guards constricting their bodies and making them unable to move.
"Tyrannical blade."
In the air appeared an illusionary blade which immediately cut downwards. Many of the black guards were struck.
"In the blink of an eye, only one of the black guard remained: their leader at the seventh Ling Qi layer.
Since the beginning of the fight, only the time of one deep breath had elapsed.
"Arghhh…" shouted the leader of the black guards. His spear seemed incredibly powerful. He jumped off his horse and his body flew into the air.
Lin Feng looked calm and solemn. He actually gave his own helmet to Duan Xin Ye, so he hadn't been wearing one himself. His handsome face was visible and his long air was fluttered with the wind.
His body slightly urged his horse on. Immediately after, he jumped into the air. At that moment, an incredible amount of battle energy was burning all around his body. In the sky, an illusionary black sword appeared, a deadly yet divine sword.
"You attacked my comrades which is a crime, I must kill you." said Lin Feng in a solemn and calm tone. His body was still in the air. He took a deep breath and his deadly black sword fell from the sky.
"Psshhh…"
The black sword illusion fell down from the sky and cut the body of the black guard leader down the middle and his body split into two pieces. He didn't even have the time to let out a horrible shriek, he was just silently cut into two.
"Boom boom boom boom boom…." That attack had been so incredible that everybody's heart was pounding loudly in their chests.
An illusionary sword in the air had cut the black guard's leader into two.
How powerful.
Besides, the one who had launched that attack was still a young man. At that moment, that handsome young man jumped back onto his horse and calmly returned to the army. The entire army was looking at him and were franticly trying to get a better look, they wanted to see that young man more clearly.
"Wooow." the sky was shaking. The Chi Xie troops' hearts were filled with burning enthusiasm.
It had been a long time since they had had that feeling. They hadn't thought that such a young man could awake such feelings in their hearts.
Jiu Chi Xie smiled indifferently. He calmly looked at Liu Cang Lan and said: "General, I see your image in him."
Liu Cang Lan turned his head and smiled back at Jiu Chi Xie.
"I haven't seen you smile in a long time." said Liu Cang Lan and then turned around. The Mo Yue army was surprisingly turning around and retreating. They had come for power and prestige but had to move back because of Lin Feng.
"I am not as gifted as him." said Liu Cang Lan discreetly to Jiu Chi Xie which made him shiver. Immediately after, he smiled again. Lin Feng's spirit was stronger and he had a higher natural talent as well.
Lin Feng calmly returned to Duan Xin Ye's side as she took off her helmet. Her long and delicate fingers moved her hair aside and looked at Lin Feng with a huge smile on her face. Lin Feng was bewitched, her smile was truly enchanting.
Only Duan Tian Lang and his son had hideous expressions on their faces, especially Duan Han. Back in the days, he used to think that he was better than Lin Feng. At that moment though, he was weaker than Lin Feng and far from being able to catch up with his level of strength.
"Lin Feng." said Liu Cang Lan in a loud voice.
"General." replied Lin Feng.
"You are now a Lieutenant. You are now in charge of your own Chi Xie unit called The Celestial Sword and you are directly under Jiu Chi Xie."
With the military merits of slaughtering the black guards and forcing the enemy army to retreat, Liu Cang Lan obviously had enough to grant Lin Feng a Lieutenant position. Lin Feng had just displayed how great his power was. Nobody was going to have any objections.
"Lin Feng gratefully accepts."

Lin Feng galloped towards Jiu Chi Xie and said with a respectful tone: "Officer!"
"Lin Feng, your tent is still in the same place. Now you are a Lieutenant so feel at ease within the Chi Xie troops. You can do as you wish with the soldiers. If there is any danger, you can handle it as you wish, but I want these two back when you are done. If they leave, I'm losing two lieutenants." said Jiu Chi Xie while pointing at Han Man and Po Jun who were behind Lin Feng.
"Officer, does this mean we can join the Celestial Sword unit?" said Han Man while looking excited. If he could work with Lin Feng, he wouldn't care about his lieutenant status and would follow Lin Feng's orders.
"No, return to your units now." said Jiu Chi Xie. Han Man and Po Jun smiled wryly and said: "Roger, Officer."
After saying that, they smiled wryly while looking at Lin Feng and immediately went back to their units.
"Lin Feng, these two guys, I still need them. Sooner or later, they will be under your command." said Jiu Chi Xie with a mysterious tone. Immediately after, he added: "You can go now."
"Alright." said Lin Feng while slightly nodding and moved aside.
"Lin Feng." at that moment, a clear and distinct voice emerged. Lin Feng turned around and saw Duan Xin Ye waving to him.
"You guys can wait for me here." said Lin Feng to Ba Dao and the others. Immediately after, he went towards the princess and asked: "What's the problem?"
"There must be a problem in order for me to speak with you? You are my personal guard." said Duan Xin Ye while giving a sweet smile towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng didn't know how to reply.
"Lin Feng, come with me to my tent. Qiu Cao will make us some tea and we can talk for a while." said Duan Xin Ye. Lin Feng remained silent.
"You don't feel like it? Well, forget about it then. You can leave." said Duan Xin Ye when she saw that Lin Feng remained silent. She looked disappointed, yet tried to smile.
Lin Feng turned his horse around. Duan Xin Ye nibbled on her lip and a bitter feeling invaded her heart. Usually, it was young men who would always chase her but she always rejected them. She didn't even look at the handsome young men in the city. However, she was interested in Lin Feng, that frivolous and unrestrained young man. She started to have feelings for him. She had finally gathered the courage to invite him and he rejected her like she did with all the noble young men before.
"You guys can go back to the tent without me." said Lin Feng which reached Duan Xin Ye's ears. She then saw him turn around. A sweet and soft smile appeared on her face. Her grief turned into happiness.
Initially, Lin Feng didn't refuse her offer, he was just ordering his troops to go back.
"Princess." said Lin Feng while moving back to Duan Xin Ye.
"Let's go."
Duan Xin Ye's hair was floating on the wind while the horse galloped. At that moment, many people were following her. Lin Feng also closely followed alongside her and hadn't noticed that some people were evilly looking at the couple.
"Hmph." groaned a someone near Liu Cang Lan. Liu Cang Lan was stupefied. He then looked at the angered person and said: "Fei Fei, you have to handle things like this properly."
"Handle what properly?" said Liu Fei while gnashing her teeth. Immediately after, she left. She was secretly cursing at Lin Feng in her heart. What a pervert!
"General, it seems like Princess Duan Xin Ye is interested in Lin Feng. She'll become Fei Fei's rival in the future." said Jiu Chi Xie in a low voice. These older men were slightly angry at the princess. They noticed that Duan Xin Ye didn't look at Lin Feng the same way she looked at other people.
Duan Xin Ye always smiled at people in a friendly manner, but when she smiled to Lin Feng, it was more than that, it was soft, sweet and tender.
The first awakening of love, tender feelings like water… girls couldn't hide such feelings. Everybody could see them in their facial expression, just like Liu Fei.
Liu Cang Lan smiled wryly and shook his head. He then quietly looked at the silhouette leaving. The silhouette was wearing armor, but he didn't forget that underneath they were still holy and pure. As before, he was amazed.
Duan Xin Ye's tent was tastefully furnished. It wasn't luxurious but it was clean and tidy; which made it easy to set one's mind at ease and feel relaxed.
At that moment, Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye were sitting on the floor by a hardwood table.
"Princess, Master Lin, tea is ready."
Qiu Cao arrived in front Duan Xin Ye and Lin Feng and served them some tea.
Lin Feng hastily took his cup of tea while smiling and said: "Girl, there is no need to stick with such formalities."
Lin Feng wasn't used to being served by someone else.
"Master Lin, you are the Princess' guest, this is my duty." said the servant while smiling. She had two dimples appear on her cheeks when she smiled, she was extremely cute. She was very young, about fifteen years old.
Lin Feng was only smiling, but didn't say anything. Actually, Qiu Cao was also a slave. She was already very lucky to be able to work for the Princess. Besides, Duan Xin Ye seemed to treat her well. Qiu Cao respected Duan Xin Ye but didn't fear her. Duan Xin Ye was the farthest thing from a cruel person.
"Princess, the battlefield is such a dangerous place, why did you need to come here?" asked Lin Feng who didn't understand why Duan Xin Ye was there. What was the point of having the princess on the battlefield?
"I've spent too much time in the Imperial Palace. I was breathing the same stuffy air every single day, so thought that I had to see something else and decided to come and see the brave and courageous soldiers on the battlefield." said Duan Xin Ye in a soft voice while smiling. Many people were dreaming of living in the Imperial Palace, but those who really lived in it had the feeling that it was like a prison and needed to see the outside world.
"Lin Feng, do you like the zither?" suddenly asked Duan Xin Ye. Lin Feng slightly nodded and said: "I do."
"I will play the zither for you." when Duan Xin Ye saw that Lin Feng nodded, she smiled and looked excited. At that moment, Qiu Cao went and picked up an ancient zither. She cleaned the table and put the zither on the spotless table. It was a very cozy feeling.
Duan Xin Ye was smiling, she put both of her hands on the zither and started playing slowly.
Lin Feng was looked at Duan Xin Ye. She was beautiful, graceful and elegant. Once in awhile, she would raise her head and smile. That smile was enchanting. Regardless of social status, her beauty and elegance sufficed to make any normal man go crazy.
No wonder every single noble young man hoped to marry the princess. Such a beautiful woman, who on top of that had the status of princess and possessed a powerful blood spirit, she could tempt most men.
Duan Xin Ye started playing a melody which made Lin Feng imagine a calm stream running through a bamboo forest.
Zither connoisseurs could easily tell what kind of personality and temperament a person had when they listened to them playing the zither. She was as cool as a mountain stream, like an orchid in the middle of a peaceful mountain.
Lin Feng slowly closed his eyes and calmly listened to the wonderful music. He was feeling happy. Being with Duan Xin Ye, he didn't feel like he needed to be cautious, he could relax. He felt joyful in his heart.
Duan Xin Ye, once in awhile, was raising her head to look at Lin Feng. When she saw that Lin Feng was closing his eyes and seemed to be completely relaxed, the smile on her face was becoming sweeter and sweeter.
Inside the tent, the atmosphere was calm and peaceful. Only the sound of the zither filled the air.
But at that moment, Lin Feng, who was firmly closing his eyes while listening to the music, suddenly had a strange sensation.
He suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were completely black and expressionless. The world around him had become slow and he was now within his world of darkness. Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed a dagger and slashed through the air.
"Kacha!"
His dagger ended up cutting an arrow down mid air, which passed near Lin Feng's cheek.
A strong wind was blowing against the tent and raised its heavy curtains. Immediately after, a silhouette flickered through the air like an illusion. Lin Feng could feel the danger incoming.
Lin Feng raised his dagger again as he could feel a sword moving towards him. Lin Feng moved his dagger towards the illusionary figure, but it had no effect.
"Pssshh.. pshhh.." Lin Feng's dagger arrived at the enemy's chest, but what shocked him was the opponent used his right hand to block Lin Feng's and used his left hand to throw an extremely sharp arrow towards the princess behind Lin Feng.
The entire situation happened at the speed of lightning. Even though the opponent didn't care about his own life, they were determined to kill the princess before they died.
"An assassin."
Lin Feng's heart was pounding. The opponent's arrow which he had thrown was much too quick. It had almost reached its destination and Lin Feng was unable to stop it.
…and if he didn't block it, Princess Duan Xin Ye would definitely die.
That assassin was at the fifth Ling Qi layer. That sword was extremely brutal and the assassin was determined to exchange their life for the princess' life.

"Eight strikes of desolation." Without hesitating, Lin Feng launched his Eight Strikes of Desolation but it only caused the arrow to deviate slightly.
As if Lin Feng had anticipated this, he raised his hand at the speed of lightning and launched his Qi forward to block the arrow.
"Pshh… pshhh…" Lin Feng's Qi only barely struck against the arrow to slow it, but the arrow still pierced through it.
"Xin Ye, DODGE!" shouted Lin Feng furiously. Lin Feng's sword was still in the opponent's chest. Lin Feng released an incredible amount of sword energy inside the assassin's body. The assassin met a terrifyingly brutal death.
"Pshhh…." Lin Feng turned around and his face turned deathly pale. He only barely saw the arrow penetrate into flesh!
But it wasn't the princess at all, it was Qiu Cao. A moment before, Qiu Cao had thrown herself in front of Duan Xin Ye in order to protect her.
"Qiu Cao!" shouted Duan Xin Ye with a sorrowful scream. After that, a hole appeared in the roof of the tent and vines descended from the sky, grabbed Duan Xin Ye's body and lifted her into the air.
"She is staying here!" shouted Lin Feng. He jumped up in the air and slashed out with the Qi from his long sword.
At the same time, another silhouette fell from the sky. A long blade struck against the sword Qi of Lin Feng and destroyed it.
Duan Xin Ye's silhouette, in the blink of eye, disappeared from the tent and was taken away by the vines.
Lin Feng was astonished. His face was deathly pale. What a skilful attack. Besides, even the weakest person was at the fifth Ling Qi layer. Lin Feng alone couldn't block all of them.
An endless Qi suddenly emerged from Lin Feng's sword and it was followed by a horrible shriek. The energy from the opponent's sword was completely dispersed. Lin Feng was furious and launched a lethal, unavoidable attack at the opponent.
"BOOM!"
The sword Qi caused the tent to explode into small pieces. Lin Feng looked around at his surroundings. He looked furious.
When Lin Feng saw the opponents attempting to escape, he immediately jumped up into the air in pursuit, but at that moment a fist struck his face, sending him backwards.
"Get out of my way!" shouted Lin Feng extremely loudly when he saw the armoured person blocking his way. Lin Feng had been pushed back to the tent by that powerful strike to his face.
"How is Her Majesty, the princess?" asked the person while looking at the tent.
When that person saw that Lin Feng wasn't replying, they continued: "What have you done to the princess?"
Lin Feng had the sensation that the assassins were already close to escaping. He had no time for useless conversations. He moved forwards and brandished his sword.
"Hmph." The armoured person smiled coldly and shouted: "Arrows ready!"
When they finished talking, a group of silhouettes suddenly came into vision and raised their bows. They were all aiming at Lin Feng. At that moment, a sharp force rushed towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's facial expression changed, he knew that he was trapped. He quickly retreated and asked the armoured person: "Was it you?"
That person ignored Lin Feng's question and shouted in an extremely cold voice: "What have you done to the princess?"
When he finished talking, he took a step towards the half-destroyed tent. He then saw that there was only a female's corpse however it was not the princess instead it was Cao Qiu. Obviously, the princess wasn't there anymore.
"Hand over the princess!" shouted the armoured person. His facial expression was extremely sharp. He slightly raised his hand and at that moment, the myriad of silhouettes pulled back the string of their bows ready to fire towards Lin Feng at any moment.
Lin Feng suddenly smiled and laughed insolently. His two dark and expressionless eyes were staring at that person and he said in an ice-cold tone: "Not only do you plan to assassinate the princess but you also want to make up false charges against me, in order to kill me?"
"I don't understand what you're saying." said the person while staring at Lin Feng in a cold and indifferent way. He then said: "How dare you mention the princess' life and your own life in the same sentence? You're thinking too highly of yourself."
"Even though your status of lieutenant was granted to you by Liu Cang Lan, today, you killed the princess' servant and helped kidnap the princess. If you don't provide explanations, you will die here."
Lin Feng was smiling coldly. How could he explain things clearly?
At the moment when the princess was being kidnapped, they were all waiting close to the tent, how could they have not seen the kidnappers escaping? Besides, at the moment when Lin Feng was chasing the kidnappers, they had intercepted Lin Feng and stopped his pursuit. Of course, they had prepared this because they wanted to take Lin Feng's life.
The fact that Lin Feng had killed the princess' servant and kidnapped the princess spread very quickly amongst the troops.
An incredible amount of people were heading towards the princess' wrecked tent. In the blink of an eye, the situation became chaotic. Duan Tian Lang had also come once he heard the news.
"Lin Feng, the princess was kind to you, you are her personal guard and surprisingly you dare commit such a crime, now, tell us where the princess is!" shouted Duan Tian Lang while staring at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng couldn't provide an explanation.
Even if Lin Feng provided an explanation, nobody was going to believe him. Duan Tian Lang and the others had already declared him as an offender.
As far as they were concerned, Lin Feng was the one who had killed Qiu Cao and kidnapped the princess.
At that moment, Lin Feng wasn't sure if Duan Tian Lang was responsible or it was another person within the military.
"Duan Tian Lang, are you not the person at the origin of this?" said Lin Feng coldly. If it was really Duan Tian Lang, that was really too shameless. The first arrow was actually aimed at Princess Duan Xin Ye, if Lin Feng hadn't done his best to intercept it, Duan Xin Ye would have died.
"You will never stop until you're dead." shouted Duan Tian Lang in an ice-cold tone. He then immediately continued: "I will give you some time to think, if you don't tell where the princess is, I will kill you as punishment." When he finished talking, he lit an oil lamp and then a deadly energy emerged from his body as he moved towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked cold and indifferent. A murderous light flashed in his eyes.
If Duan Tian Lang was really at the origin of this, this was a good opportunity. Why wasn't he killing him on the spot though and provided him with time to think about giving him an answer?
This short time was enough for the news to spread to Liu Cang Lan and for him to quickly rush to the location.
Lin Feng didn't understand Duan Tian Lang's intentions.
Lin Feng, however, could not determine whether the princess was still alive or not.
He wanted to go and look for Duan Xin Ye instead of wasting time here, after all, she had been kidnapped and he was responsible for protecting her.
However, considering the number of arrows aiming at him and the incredibly strong soldiers surrounding him, rushing to save her would have been idiotic. His life was currently in danger.
He slowly turned around and saw that the oil lamp would soon burn out.
The ground started to shake. An incredible number of horses rushed towards the campsite. The tent was completely surrounded by soldiers in an instant.
"Duan Tian Lang, do you think that you can act as you please here?"
At that moment, a voice spread through the atmosphere. Liu Cang Lan appeared in the air with his bow on his back. Behind him, the officer of the Chi Xie troops, Jiu Chi Xie, was closely following. He immediately moved next to Lin Feng and ignored everybody else.
"Liu Cang Lan, Lin Feng plotted against the princess and did not protect her. She is nowhere to be found. Why do you choose to side with him? What evil intentions are you harbouring?" said Duan Tian Lang
"I don't care who kidnapped the princess but since such a short time has passed, looking for the princess within the campsite would be the best solution rather than wasting time here. She would not have been able to leave the camp. However, you have brought all of your soldiers here and created a chaotic environment and spread rumours. How does that affect the morale for our army? You wouldn't be doing this on purpose to cause harm to Lin Feng?"
Liu Cang Lan's words surprised Lin Feng. As expected, Liu Cang Lan was very experienced and proved he clearly understood the most important aspects of the situation.
Duan Tian Lang was an aristocrat and the chief commander. How could he not understand what was most important in this situation? In such a situation, the most important thing was to immediately search for the missing princess and it was not use his army to trap Lin Feng in an attempt to punish him. The fact that he had given Lin Feng some time seemed to have something to do with Liu Cang Lan.
"I obviously understand that, but I have given him the time it takes for an oil lamp to burn yet Lin Feng still cannot tell us where the princess is. Liu Cang Lan, you are a general, punishing Lin Feng is your duty but instead, you are siding with a criminal. If you don't move out of the way then do not blame me for not showing mercy." said Duan Tian Lang in a calm and respectful tone as if he held friendly feelings towards Liu Cang Lan and did not want to fight.
A smile appeared on Liu Cang Lan's face as he said: "Inviting you to come here to fight our common enemy was a huge mistake. Duan Tian Lang, you are a traitor!"
"Chi Xie armored cavalry, are you there?" shouted Liu Cang Lan furiously.
"We are!" The atmosphere suddenly filled with the shouts of Chi Xie armored cavalry. The Chi Xie horses neighed and the atmosphere was filled with a deadly Qi.
Duan Tian Lang's troops were chaotic and their morale was unstable.
"Liu Cang Lan collaborates with Lin Feng, a criminal who has kidnapped the princess. He is clearly a traitor! They both deserve the death sentence by law, kill them!"
Duan Tian Lang then shouted coldly: "Release your arrows!"
When Duan Tian Lang finished talking, an endless sea of arrows spread through the air towards Liu Cang Lan and Lin Feng. Duan Tian Lang had actually given his army the order to kill them.
"Kill them all!" shouted Jiu Chi Xie who started galloping towards the army while shooting powerful arrows from his bow. Immediately, soldiers started giving horrible shrieks of pain. They all came from the soldiers who were surrounded by the Chi Xie armored cavalry. The Chi Xie armored cavalry were mercilessly slaughtering those soldiers.
Duan Tian Lang had attempted to kill General Liu Cang Lan. The Chi Xie armored cavalry troops were furious.
The Chi Xie troops had already killed a large number of Duan Tian Lang's troops. Duan Tian Lang was furious.
In the blink of an eye a civil war had begun.
Everybody was filled with cold killing intent.
What was going on? How could such a situation come about?
It was because of Lin Feng. Nobody could control the situation any longer. Soldiers from the same army were fighting against each other and dying.
It was as if everything had already been planned since the moment when Lin Feng entered the princess' tent, as if they were doomed from that moment.
In the distance, a bugle call could be heard but most of the Xue Yue troop could barely hear it. At that moment, Liu Cang Lan and Lin Feng's faces turned deathly pale.
The scariest thing about that bugle call was that it came from the Mo Yue Country army, which was moving towards them to launch an attack.

"Duan Tian Lang, order your troops to stand down." shouted Liu Cang Lan while stretching his hand and breaking an arrow in front of him. He was furious.
If the Mo Yue country army had launched an attack, they were not prepared to fight, it would even lead to a crushing defeat. At that moment, he could just hope that the troops would stop fighting against each other and the army could focus on Mo Yue Country.
"Stand down? Liu Cang Lan, you are a traitor and attempted to collaborate with someone who assassinated the princess. Even if I am not strong enough, I will fight you to the death." said Duan Tian Lang in an ice-cold tone.
Liu Cang Lan had a cold sweat dripping down his back.
Duan Tian Lang was completely shameless, he was ready to let tens of thousands die.
Liu Cang Lan jumped up in the air. He shouted furiously: "All the troops of the Xue Yue Country, stop fighting each other and fight against the real enemy, otherwise we will all be buried here!"
"Whoosh.." at that moment, a whistling sound spread through the air. An arrow was hurtling towards Liu Cang Lan at full speed.
"Duan Tian Lang, you traitor!" shouted Liu Cang Lan furiously. He raised his hand and disintegrated the arrow into powder. His body was descending while taking Lin Feng with him at the same time and he shouted: "All the troops of Xue Yue, listen to my orders! Retreat to the Duan Ren Border!" Liu Cang Lan was well aware of the situation. The troops were already in total disorder. They would never be able to resist an enemy attacking them.
"Chi Xie troops, listen to the orders! Retreat to the Duan Ren Border!" shouted Jiu Chi Xie furiously. The horses started galloping in a mad retreat. They didn't continue fighting and immediately retreated to the Duan Ren Border.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh…." Horrifying whistling sounds filled the air. Liu Cang Lan raised his head and looked at the sky, his face turned deathly pale as the blood drained from his face.
In the sky, there was a cloud of arrows ready to rain destruction. There were so many arrows that the sky could no longer be seen. The area was completely covered with arrows.
In a flash, Liu Cang Lan noticed that the entire area had turned dark and the cloud of arrows was falling towards them.
Loud mournful cries and horrible shrieks filled the atmosphere. That moment seemed like the doomsday for the Xue Yue Country.
Lin Feng grabbed his sword and raised it in the air. It was dazzling to the eyes and resplendent. When the arrows came into contact with the sword, they were pulverized into dust.
The arrows continued falling from the sky for a full 10 breaths of time. The sky was visible again but at that moment, the tents of the Xue Yue campsite were completely destroyed and countless corpses were lying down on the ground.
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
The soldiers were going insane. Many people were shouting to retreat. If they retreated to Duan Ren Border, there would still be some hope.
" Whoosh whoosh whoosh…."
The sky turned black again. Arrows filled the sky and started to descend upon them again.
As before, horrible shrieks endlessly spread throughout the camp. At that moment, horses were galloping at full speed which made the ground shake. It seemed like death was galloping towards the troops of Xue Yue. The armored horses of Mo Yue, after two arrow volleys, were already galloping towards them to launch an attack.
Lin Feng looked at the ground and saw the blood of his dragon-colt horse. Lin Feng grabbed his sword and didn't move backwards, instead he moved towards the armored horses of Mo Yue.
"Die!" When the soldiers on their armored horses saw that Lin Feng wasn't retreating, they rushed towards him with killing intent while raising their spears.
Lin Feng's sword was quiet, dazzling and ice-cold.
The cold and resplendent flow emitted by the sword seemed like it could cover the entire country.
The cavalry which were charging towards him were suddenly cut into two pieces. The upper half was flying through the air and the lower half remained on horseback.
"Deadly sword." Lin Feng's expression was ice–cold. Then, his expressionless and dark eyes could be seen. Lin Feng continued to kill the enemies which rushed towards him. The cavalry was being massacred.
Lin Feng continued moving forwards, attacking large groups of enemies with his sword.
One sword swing and a dozen enemies would die.
But at that moment, Lin Feng was already completely surrounded by the enemy troops. They weren't moving towards him at full speed anymore in small groups. They all raised their spears towards him. Immediately after, they all charged towards Lin Feng. If they all attacked him, Lin Feng would certainly die.
The terrifying force emanating from Lin Feng's deadly sword was enveloping the enemies causing them all to feel an immense fear. They all had a cold sweat running down their backs.
"Lonely… sword." Lin Feng's body spun at full speed as he attacked enemies in every direction. Every person touched by his sword would meet an incredibly violent death. A single attack was enough to kill dozens of soldiers where they stood.
While meeting his enemies face to face, a brave and courageous cultivator would always win.
Lin Feng jumped into the air and landed on a horse. He released a cold sharp energy into the atmosphere. In the blink of an eye, the horse quickly became docile. Lin Feng cut off its reins and galloped forward at full speed.
His sword was emitting a radiant glow. A single strike would mean death. Lin Feng was a single mounted soldier cutting his way through the enemy army like an invincible war god.
Duan Ren Border was only about five kilometres away from where the soldiers were stationed. Even though it was a very short distance, the landscape had turned into a bloody hell, there were countless corpses which now decorated the landscape.
There were three thousand archers situated above the Duan Ren Border. They were all the most elite archers. Each time they saw the Mo Yue troops approach, they filled the sky with their arrows. The passage leading to the Duan Ren Border was narrow and could only accommodate a few people. Even if they tried to hide from the arrows they would not have anywhere to hide, this is why the Mo Yue troops didn't dare enter. They did not know how to avoid the arrows raining down on them.
Another reason why the Mo Yue troops would not enter the narrow passage is that there was a man blocking the passageway. If that man guards the pass, ten thousand soldiers cannot get through. That man was Liu Cang Lan, the Divine Arrow. The Xue Yue troops could only stay behind him or climb on up the cliffs of the Duan Ren Border, waiting for the enemy.
If the Mo Yue troops arrived, Liu Cang Lan would inevitably kill them.
Liu Cang Lan's arrows never missed its target and his arrows were always deadly.
While looking at the Xue Yue troops being massacred on the horizon, Liu Cang Lan had the feeling that his heart was being stabbed.
Lin Feng arrived in front of Liu Cang Lan on his new horse, he immediately got down and stood to Liu Cang Lan's side. He was calmly looking at the countless deaths on the horizon.
These troops were all dying because of Duan Tian Lang's grudge against Lin Feng.
"Duan Tian Lang."
Lin Feng felt an uncontrollable killing intent towards Duan Tian Lang. A few hundred thousand lives would be lost, what did that mean to Duan Tian Lang? Nothing.
Why did Duan Tian Lang act in such a way? Because he had caused such a large distraction within the encampment and refused to stop the fight, he had given the Mo Yue Country an opportunity to attack.
Besides, it seemed like Mo Yue knew about chaos and came to seize that opportunity.
Enemies were coming in larger amounts but each time they were killed by Liu Cang Lan at the entrance of Duan Ren Border. From the top of the hills, it was easy to kill the approaching enemies while remaining safe.
In the distance, it seemed like the Mo Yue troops had already slaughtered the surplus of Xue Yue troops. Chi Xie horses were galloping towards the Duan Ren Border.
However as the Chi Xie armored horses neared the Duan Ren Border, they all stopped.
The Duan Ren Border was the last stop before the Xue Yue Country. It was the last checkpoint where the Xue Yue Country could protect themselves. The Mo Yue Country knew this perfectly well.
While standing on the hills of Duan Ren Border, they could easily kill the approaching enemies. From the top, not only could they easily kill people but they would also be able to let the Chi Xie troops safely pass. When using a bow from a high vantage point a single person could kill ten people. Killing a hundred enemies was even normal.
The Mo Yue troops were not going to foolishly rush towards the Duan Ren Border, there were too many people that had climbed to the top of the cliffs.
If they wanted to go through, the Mo Yue troops would have to sacrifice troops by the ten thousands which would be a great loss.
Liu Cang Lan looked at the huge Mo Yue army while shaking in anger.
They were suffering a crushing defeat. That battle was all about slaughtering the Xue Yue army. The Xue Yue army couldn't compete with the Mo Yue army any longer. A moment before, when he had returned to Duan Ren Border, there only a hundred thousand soldiers left and amongst them, many were injured.
Almost all their troops had been killed during that battle.
During the inner chaos, the Mo Yue troops had moved rapidly leaving them no chance to resist. All they could do was run away. How could they resist to an army composed of five hundred thousand attacking when they were unprepared. An incredible amount of people had already been killed.
At that moment, in front of the troops that had stopped, a silhouette slowly appeared. It was a young man. His face looked pale but his two eyes looked sharp and cruel making people want to prostrate themselves before him. This person was the enemy prince.
"General Divine Arrow." said the young man. His voice was low but it pierced through Liu Cang Lan and the others.
"Mo Jie." said Liu Cang Lan in an ice-cold tone while looking at that young man.

"General Divine Arrow, you have been protecting the Duan Ren Border for many years. That is a great military accomplishment, and you are a legendary figure. Nobody has ever been able to pass through the Duan Ren Border. I, Mo Jie, have always admired you for that. I am very happy to meet you today." said Mo Jie while calmly sitting on his horse and looking towards Liu Cang Lan, slightly bowing in respect. He respected the General of Xue Yue.
"The general of a massacred army has no need for military accomplishments." Liu Cang Lan sounded saddened. They had already lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and it was his fault. His heart was still bleeding over his mistake.
"What happened is not your fault. If you decided to come over to my Mo Yue country, I, Mo Jie would welcome you and even grant you with the status of a Commander." said Mo Jie in an extremely polite tone. Even though he had a high status, he was indeed a prince, there wasn't the slightest bit of arrogance in his voice. He even bowed in front of Liu Cang Lan, wasn't this a major event?
"A victory is a victory, a defeat is a defeat. What is the point in speaking about it?" said Liu Cang Lan while shaking his head. "Thank you for your kindness, but I refuse."
"I will show you somebody and you will understand." said Mo Jie while waving his hand. Someone next to him moved and then a few silhouettes appeared. Amongst them was a beautiful young woman who was trapped by a vine. She was brought to the front of others.
"Princess." Lin Feng and Liu Cang Lan were completely astonished, especially Lin Feng. A thought flashed through Lin Feng's mind. Was she a hostage?
How could this happen? How could the princess be in Mo Jie's hands?
Could it be that the assassin who captured the princess wasn't Duan Tian Lang but people under Mo Jie's control?
But why had he been ambushed by soldiers of Duan Tian Lang, who wanted to kill him?
Lin Feng had no idea what was happening.
At that moment, Mo Jie looked at Lin Feng, smiled and said: "Your name is Lin Feng, right?"
Lin Feng was stupefied when he heard Mo Jie. Mo Jie slowly started speaking.
"In a towering rage, I rest under the whistling sound of rain."
"Gazing into the distance, looking up to the heavens, I utter a long and loud cry. My chest feels painful."
"Thirty soldiers now with the dust and earth, the moon and the clouds stretching as far as can see."
"The young man's hair turns white, he is filled with sorrow."
"The humiliation of Duan Ren."
"When the officials hate, they destroy."
"On the back of the armored horses, going to the mountains armed with flowers."
"With magnificent ideals in my mind yet starvation filling my stomach, I eat their flesh. To settle my thirst, I drink their blood."
"Clearing from the beginning until the end, the mountains and lakes, moving towards the heavens."
Mo Jie's voice was solemn and respectful. His voice was filled with ardor and lofty sentiments. Liu Cang Lan and Lin Feng were stupefied.
"Those who can sing with such spirit. Lin Feng, if you are willing to come and join Mo Yue, I will welcome you as well. If you wish, we could even become sworn brothers."
Welcome him and become sworn brothers…
The prince of Mo Yue, Mo Jie, surprisingly attached great importance to Lin Feng.
"If you accept my offer, I will, of course, not harm the princess. She will even become your wife." continued Mo Jie while smiling. From Lin Feng's expression, Mo Jie had understood that Lin Feng cared about the princess's safety.
Liu Cang Lan looked at Lin Feng. He remembered that was the song which Lin Feng had sung. Surprisingly, Mo Jie knew about it as well. Even though they both remained brave, they were doomed. The Mo Yue troops were soon going to enter Duan Ren Border and kill them all.
"Are you the one who sent the assassins to kidnap the princess?" asked Lin Feng.
"You don't need to doubt anything. I will show you, and you will understand." said Mo Jie while clapping his hands. Someone moved to his side on horseback, raised his head and took off his helmet. When the face appeared, Lin Feng's expression turned ice-cold.
"It's you." said Lin Feng whose eyes revealed clear killing intent. It was the high ranking soldier who had blocked Lin Feng's path. He was the one who plotted against the princess.
"You understand now. I knew everything about your army, and even knew about the tensions which existed between you and Duan Tian Lang." said Mo Jie indifferently. He sounded very calm.
Lin Feng looked at Mo Jie with a cold look and then slowly said: "You were able to create chaos amongst our army using such a tactic, it is indeed a very good method. You are clearly a fierce and ambitious person."
Lin Feng wasn't using a polite tone. Even though there was tension within their army, managing to create such chaos, that was a flawless attack.
The game of war was a deadly one. It was filled with people who would be stepped on like insects. Falling into someone's trap could be fatal, one careless move and the whole game is lost. They had been careless once and gave Mo Jie a great opportunity. That had lead to the downfall of their army.
"If you and the General come to my country, you will both be heroes." continued Mo Jie. He really wanted them to join him. Lin Feng and Liu Cang Lan were however both shaking their heads.
"I, Mo Jie, will welcome both of you at any time."
Mo Jie then turned his head around and said indifferently: "Set up an encampment two kilometres from here."
When he finished talking, his army began to move. For them, orders must be followed. Mo Jie was like their god.
"Xue Yue army, listen to my words, I want you to withdraw from the Duan Ren Border. In three days, if you haven't followed my instructions, I will behead the princess." Said Mo Jie in a loud voice. The whole army was shaking after hearing this.
Surprisingly, he wanted them to leave the Duan Ren Border or he would kill the princess.
"During these three days, I will not harm your precious princess. You have three days to think carefully." said Mo Jie. Immediately after, the ground shook and only a cloud of dust remained as they left. Only the Xue Yue army was left and they were all in speechless despair.
There was no possibility of discussing terms with Mo Jie. Mo Jie had given his terms and there was no margin for error. He left as soon as he finished speaking.
While looking at Duan Xin Ye leaving, Lin Feng's heart was laden with grief. Suddenly, he started feeling extremely guilty for what happened. If he was stronger, the princess wouldn't have been kidnapped. Duan Tian Lang would also have had no reason to accuse him and trigger a civil war amongst their two armies. The blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers would not have been spilled.
Of course, Lin Feng knew that he could not change the past. He was already endlessly furious. He couldn't change anything that happened.
"Let's go back to Duan Ren City." said Liu Cang Lan while turning around and leaving. While looking at Liu Cang Lan's silhouette, Lin Feng was shaking in anger. He knew that Liu Cang Lan was suffering more than anyone else.
All the soldiers who died were like his brothers.
At that moment, a few silhouettes rushed towards Liu Cang Lan and stopped in front of him.
"Liu Cang Lan, you triggered a war amongst the Xue Yue armies which led to the deaths of so many soldiers, even the princess was kidnapped… what should your punishment be?" shouted Duan Tian Lang who rushed towards Liu Cang Lan. Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. That guy was no better than a beast.
His subordinate had been acting as an insider to capture the princess. It was Duan Tian Lang who didn't want to give up the fight and wanted to harm Lin Feng no matter what. It was because of him that the situation became so chaotic and he refused to give up even as the Mo Yue troops were launching an assault. At that moment, he was still blaming Liu Cang Lan. What a despicable and shameless person.
"Liu Cang Lan, you killed hundreds of thousands of troops. That's a crime that can only be settled with your death." said Duan Tian Lang. Lin Feng's face became ice-cold. Liu Cang Lan had been too lenient and was being treated unfairly. With their temperaments, life and death were really at stake.
"Duan Tian Lang, I really admire you for still having the audacity to talk in such a way here."
Lin Feng couldn't help but speak. He then said coldly: "A real traitor to your country, using your power and authority allow the princess to get kidnapped while you avenge personal grudges. Your desire to kill me didn't only cause the princess to get captured but you refused to stand down when the enemy bugles could be heard and continued to cause chaos within the army. When the Mo Yue troops arrived, you were still thinking about your own selfish interests which led to the loss of a huge number of troops. You came from the Imperial City with your troops and your son but when the enemy arrived, you were fastest people to escape with your tails between your legs. Amongst the soldiers who died, many of them were under your control… and surprisingly you still have the audacity to point your finger at Liu Cang Lan. If I were you, I would have died of shame a long time ago. I really admire you, as the Chief Commander, being able to do all of this without being ashamed is truly admirable."
Lin Feng's words were extremely cold. The army soldiers were surprised and looked towards Duan Tian Lang. He had a hideous expression on his face.
"Lin Feng, don't forget that you're the princess' personal guard. The princess disappeared, you will not be able to escape your punishment."
"Duan Tian Lang, don't forget that you are the Chief Commander and the princess was kidnapped within your encampment and by your subordinate. I will not be able to escape my punishment? What do you even mean by that?"
Lin Feng replied aggressively.
"We will see who will die and who will live." replied Duan Tian Lang with an evil smile on his face. He then turned around and abruptly left.
"You should kill me as long as you have the opportunity because if you let me live, that cowardly mutt that you call a son will die by my hands and then you will be next." said Lin Feng while looking at Duan Tian Lang's silhouette leaving. Lin Feng's voice was like that of an evil demon. Lin Feng's words came from the hatred within the bottom of his heart. If, in the future, he was allowed to grow strong, he would definitely kill Duan Tian Lang and his son, without hesitation.
Duan Tian Lang heard Lin Feng. He stopped for a second and then immediately continued walking. Lin Feng really planned to kill Duan Tian Lang and his son. If they didn't die, he wouldn't be able to live in peace.

On the top of the tower above the city gate was Liu Cang Lan and behind him were four officers, Lin Feng and Liu Fei.
Liu Cang Lan had been standing there for a few hours already. He remained motionless while the others remained silent. They all understood the pain Liu Cang Lan was feeling in his heart.
Over a hundred thousand people, their lives, their families, their future had vanished in an instant. This was the truth of war.
It was the sad truth. Nobody could predict what was going to happen. Such dramatic events hadn't taken place in over ten years. Besides, Liu Cang Lan had never lost any of his battles in the past, but at that moment, he had lost and his army was massacred.
"Pshhhhh……" Liu Cang Lan took a deep breath. He then slowly turned around. At that moment, everybody inside the city was already packing and ready to leave Duan Ren City.
The Mo Yue Country was putting pressure on them by using the princess' life. They wouldn't be able to defend the Duan Ren Border.
If they lost the Duan Ren Border, Duan Ren City would become a very dangerous place. A five hundred thousand strong army would easily be able to conquer Duan Ren City.
They were not a simple military force, a large number had broken through to the Ling Qi layer. In one jump, they could scale the gate of Duan Ren City. From there they could rain down arrows and annihilate everything inside.
"Even though Duan Ren City is vast, it could only be considered a small town… it has a population of five hundred and fifty thousand civilians. The civilians must leave the city, even though for many of them it is their place of birth. As a general, I cannot get them involved." said Liu Cang Lan while sighing.
"As in any war, the outcome is never certain, you can win or you can lose. The only thing in your control is how you deal with the situation, General." said Lin Feng while shaking his head.
"What do you expect me to do? I don't understand." asked Liu Cang Lan who didn't understand.
Lin Feng turned around, looked at Liu Cang. He then said in a calm and solemn tone: "I need wood."
"Wood?" Liu Cang Lan stared blankly at Lin Feng. He was dumbfounded. Lin Feng spoke again: "Uncle Liu, I hope that you can satisfy my request this time."
After remaining silent for a moment, Liu Cang nodded in a serious way and said: "Alright."
"Officers, I hope you can help me as well." said Lin Feng while looking at Jiu Chi Xie and the others. They all slightly nodded, even though they didn't know what Lin Feng actually really meant to do.
At that moment, in the city, horses were neighing and many people were getting ready to leave.
Amongst these people, many of them were from the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue and the Celestial Academy. They all looked deathly pale. They had hoped to gain military exploits, but it was impossible for them. That place was too dangerous. They had to go back to the Imperial City, where it was safe. This battle had nothing to do with them.
Even the young men who had come with Duan Tian Lang were leaving as well.
"Liu Cang Lan!" shouted Duan Tian Lang extremely loudly.
"Liu Cang Lan, you caused our own army fight against each other and the princess was captured because of it. You then caused hundreds of thousands of people to lose their homes. I will report all of this to His Majesty and he will decide himself on how to punish you for your crimes." shouted Duan Tian Lang as he moved into the distance. He made it sound like Liu Cang Lan was guilty for everything and never took any of the responsibility.
Lin Feng's heart grew extremely cold. The princess had been kidnapped at Duan Tian Lang's encampment, but he was making out that it had nothing to do with him. Besides, he was running back to the Imperial City. The princess' life suddenly meant nothing to him any longer.
Lin Feng also understood that Duan Tian Lang wanted to go to the Imperial City to remove all responsibility from himself and shift the blame onto Liu Cang Lan.
Liu Cang Lan didn't pay attention to Duan Tian Lang. He was worthless.
What Liu Cang Lan was regretting the most was that he let Duan Tian Lang join them in the first place. He should have known better than to think Duan Tian Lang would be of any actual use on the battlefield.
With the smile of victory on his face, Duan Tian Lang the Chief Commander was escaping from Duan Ren City with his army. Liu Cang Lan would inevitably stay there and fight Mo Yue resulting in his death. This battle would be even worse for them, no one would be able to escape uninjured. When the right moment came, Duan Tian Lang would report Liu Cang Lan's crimes to His Majesty.
The third day, the deadline was slowly arriving.
Rumbling noises filled the atmosphere. Mo Yue soldiers on their horses were arriving outside of Duan Ren Border. Their army stretched across the landscape as far as the eye could see.
But at that moment, on the hills of Duan Ren Border, there was nobody at all.
Mo Jie moved towards the frontline on his horse. He looked at the empty mountains and looked like he was lost in thought.
Could it be that the troops of Xue Yue had really withdrawn and were offering the Duan Ren Border to the Mo Yue Country?
"Bring the princess to the front!" said Mo Jie indifferently. Duan Xin Ye was on a horseback and was wearing armor. Besides, she wasn't chained or restrained in any way. Just like Mo Jie said, they hadn't harmed the princess at all.
"First row of black guards, go secure the cliffs of the Duan Ren Border and do a thorough inspection." said Mo Jie. In a flash, a row of black guards galloped towards the top of Duan Ren Border.
If Mo Jie gave them an order, they obeyed it even if it cost them their life.
This group of black guards were extremely skillful, if there was nobody to guard Duan Ren Border, it was easy for them to reach the top. At the top, they could check if there was an ambush lying in wait for them.
One hour later, the entire row of black guards came back, nobody was missing.
"Your Highness, there is nobody to be seen from the top of the Duan Ren Border. There is nobody in Duan Ren City either, not even soldiers." said one of them. Mo Jie was surprised. Not only was there nobody in the Duan Ren Border but there was nobody in Duan Ren City either?
"Clear the way first." said Mo Jie while sounding cold and detached. Maybe that Duan Ren City was already completely abandoned. If there wasn't the Duan Ren Border, he would have already engaged in battle and definitely would have won.
The soldiers were walking forwards and then disappeared beyond the Duan Ren Border. Mo Jie and his troops were prudently moving forwards.
If he fought against Liu Cang Lan, he would definitely win, but it wouldn't be that easy.
During a war, a strategy had to be flawless, if it wasn't, one could suffer a crushing defeat.
As Mo Jie thought, Duan Ren City was absolutely empty. It was a calm, silent and unpopulated city.
Mo Jie was standing at the top of the protection tower within Duan Ren City and looked expressionless. He had been coming to Duan Ren Border for many years and always wanted to pass through… but at that moment, he had passed through. He could see the sea of broken weapons. It was the symbol of victory, but that victory was…..
"Station the troops inside Duan Ren City and occupy it." said Mo Jie. Immediately after, the order was passed to the troops.
They had already conquered the Duan Ren Border. They were also capturing Duan Ren City. Over the vast landscape one could see the Mo Yue troops sweeping across the flatlands.
At midnight, except for a few night guards, everybody was getting a well deserved rest.
Outside of Duan Ren City, a few sorrowful looking silhouettes appeared. In their eyes was pure killing intent.
At the same time, a great number of armored horses were silently moving towards Duan Ren City, however they abruptly stopped. They didn't take one more step forwards.
At that moment, Lin Feng was also outside of Duan Ren City. His black eyes looked ice-cold. He could clearly see everything that was happening inside Duan Ren City.
Lin Feng jumped into Duan Ren City. He was well prepared. A single guard was there, Lin Feng quickly covered their mouth to prevent them from shouting and without mercy he slit their throat.
Lin Feng took the armor from the corpse and put it on. He then immediately threw the corpse from the city wall and the people below caught it, therefore there was still absolute silence.
Lin Feng could clearly perceive everything that was happening around him. He started to move with complete silence. A moment later, a few more corpses were thrown from the city wall. The Xue Yue troops who were catching the corpses, then took the armor from the corpses and wore it. They then jumped onto the city wall to replace the guards. They were all extremely skillful and careful to make no noise.
All of them had been selected as the best amongst Chi Xie troops. They were all the best of the best from the most elite units within the army. They were all at least sergeants and the weakest of them had reached the third Ling Qi layer.
They were not only doing this at one location on the city walls. Many of them were all attacking from a large number of places and taking over the city wall. The strongest of them were moving into Duan Ren City, killing the night guards and throwing the corpses over the wall to provide the others with armor.
It was already late into the night so everything was done under the cover of darkness and with complete silence. Nobody had been alarmed by these actions.
At that moment, a group of black guards armed with spears appeared in Duan Ren City. They looked majestic and imposing.
Amongst them was a young man whose face looked incredibly delicate. It was Lin Feng.
These people didn't belong to Mo Yue Country at all. They were all from Xue Yue.
Because the Mo Yue troops had come in and immediately set up camp, they weren't very strict with fortifying their position. Therefore, Lin Feng could easily move to every corner of the city.
A short moment after, Lin Feng and the others arrived at a room and immediately entered.
"Stop." Someone suddenly cried. Two guards were preventing Lin Feng and the others from going inside. They then said: "Some people are already staying inside."
"I know." said Lin Feng while continuing to walk forwards. These two guards were astonished. Immediately after, a resplendent and bright glow appeared and a light green dagger cut the throats of the two guards. They then softly fell down onto the floor.
Lin Feng's silhouette flickered and he immediately moved towards the room. The door of the room opened itself emitting a squeaking sound. The light green dagger started to glow again and quickly slit the throat of the man who just opened the door. His mouth was covered as he slumped down as to stop him making any sounds.
"There is another person inside." said Lin Feng. Immediately after, they entered the room. Inside the room, there was a great deal of wood. This was part of their plan. The Xue Yue troops were very familiar with it. They knew exactly where everything was placed.
The same thing was happening at multiple locations within Duan Ren City. Finally a sound filled the atmosphere, breaking the silence and calling the troops to attention.
When Lin Feng heard the sound, he obviously knew that they were out of time. He quickly entered into another room and as he left, flames appeared behind him.
There were flames everywhere, fire was completely covering Duan Ren City.
Lin Feng seemed pensive while looking at the flames. In his previous life, he used to use fire to cook delicacies, in this life, he was using fire to cook people alive.
Of course, he knew that this amount of fire wouldn't be sufficient. He needed to turn it into a rampaging fire which engulfed the entire city.

All around the outside of Duan Ren City , the Chi Xie troops were watching the flames as they engulfed the city. After the order was given, they all urged their horses on and galloped towards Duan Ren City at full speed.
In the blink of an eye, the Chi Xie troops arrived in front of Duan Ren City with their bows in hand. The flames were already soaring higher and higher. Amongst the Chi Xie troops, all of them had prepared for this moment beforehand.
The heads of their arrows were already alight with raging fire and immediately after that, they released their arrows from their bows and a fiery rain of arrows fell upon the city.
What seemed like an endless rain of burning arrows continued to rain down on the city. The scene was magnificent and tragic.
Immediately after, the Mo Yue troops looked at the rain of burning arrows filling the sky above them. They were astonished. It seemed like the heavens were punishing them.
After the Chi Xie troops shot the first volley of arrows, they then started to circle the city releasing volley after volley of fiery death. The scene was so bright that it seemed like the sun had risen early.
Shortly after, the entire city of Duan Ren was a sea of flames. At that moment, chaos and disorder struck the Mo Yue troops. That sudden attack had surprised them. They had fallen into a firetrap.
At the same time, inside the city, Lin Feng and the elite soldiers were assassinating the higher ranking commanders who could relay orders to stop the chaos.
If they had been prepared and ready to fight, it would have been difficult, however using these burning arrows it was possible to injure or kill cultivators of the third Ling Qi layer and even the elites of higher cultivation levels. Of course, it was very difficult to injure the stronger cultivators but it was enough to injure and kill the troops around them. That had been enough to create chaos amongst the Mo Yue troops.
That blazing fire made the Mo Yue troops unable to return to formation and organize their army. It was even more chaotic amongst their horses.
At that moment, Mo Jie was inside his room getting dressed.
A burning arrow shot past him him. He was calm yet looked pensive.
"Burning the entire city with flaming arrows, Liu Cang Lan really deserves his nickname "The Divine Arrow"." said Mo Jie while sounding indifferent. Immediately after, he said: "I order all the troops to move back towards the northern gate. Don't extinguish the fire and don't chase those who have entered the city. Just move back to the northern gate and get prepared to welcome them." when Mo Jie finished talking, his order was relayed to all their troops throughout the burning city.
At that moment, all the Mo Yue troops had stopped trying to extinguish the fire and stopped fighting against the infiltrators. They were all moving towards the northern gate of the city.
Inside the city, a soldier was killed in the blink of an eye. At the same time, Mo Jie's order had been relayed to all of the troops so they no longer looked for Lin Feng or tried to stop him. Lin Feng could also now ignore them and started to move towards the north gate.
The soldiers who had been chasing Lin Feng were not the only ones to obey the order and stop fighting, all the army without exception followed orders. Nobody dared to call the order into question. They hadn't felt the slightest bit of hesitation.
"Mo Jie has such a strong influence on his troops." thought Lin Feng when he saw that scene. The Mo Yue Country had the goal to make Mo Jie their national symbol, to make them worship him as a god amongst men. Mo Jie, obviously enjoyed such a prestigious reputation in Mo Yue.
There was no one who doubted his strength and talent.
Staying in such a chaotic situation and being unable act rationally could have led to heavy losses for their army. Gathering the troops together in one place was the best reaction to counter the enemies strategy. It would enable them to concentrate their strength and break free from the encirclement.
"Now, all we have to do is rely on Uncle Liu." thought Lin Feng. Immediately after, he sheathed his sword and ran like mad through the flames. He was running shoulder to shoulder with the other troops towards the northern gate.
At that moment, even though the Mo Yue troops were trying to gather altogether, chaos was still present amongst them. Lin Feng was wearing a Mo Yue armor so there was no chance that anybody would find out who he was unless he attacked them.
Besides, it was impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to know every single face within the army.
At the northern gate, there was an unceasing rain of arrows falling from the sky. The strong cultivators of the Mo Yue Country had gathered there. Some of them could control ice, snow and water. Therefore, they could easily extinguish the fire. In the entire city of Duan Ren, the northern gate was the safest place but it was also covered in darkness.
But in a short time, about a hundred thousand troops had already gathered there and the number of people seemed to be increasing over time.
The crowd was extremely silent. They could distinctly hear the chaos in the distance as well as the people's steps near them.
At that moment, Mo Jie was standing in front of the crowd looking towards the city gate and said while sounding indifferent: "Open the gate."
"Open the gate." shouted a high-ranking soldier. While the gate was being opened, a rumbling noises spread through the air.
"Five thousand elite cavalry, open the way and secure the path two kilometres ahead." said Mo Jie. Some armored cavalry gathered, they urged on their horses and moved towards the exit of the city.
In the middle of the night, they couldn't see a great deal so they also couldn't see if they were running into an ambush. However, even in the case of an ambush, it was impossible for the entire army to get killed.
In the middle of the crowd, Lin Feng looked at the soldiers who were remaining calm. Mo Jie was truly terrifying.
Even at that moment, nobody was calling his orders in question. He was a true leader. Even at a moment when the sky seemed to be raining death down onto them, they remained calm and fearless.
If the leader didn't remain calm, could his army remain calm? With such a huge number of people it was hard to restore calmness to the army.
The northern city gate was far from the Duan Ren Border. Mo Jie was trying to think as if he was Liu Cang Lan and if he had been Liu Cang Lan, he would have set an ambush between Duan Ren City and the Duan Ren Border, but that was the western city gate. That's why Mo Jie had chosen the northern gate and not the western gate. He did not want to fall into a trap and get killed.
The five thousand cavalry were progressing through the dark. Everything was perfectly calm and tranquil. The only sound was that of their horse hoofs hitting the ground.
At that moment, a few horses neighed loudly. Suddenly there was the feeling that the ground was unsteady beneath their feet. The cavalry and their horses fell down in a deep pit.
When the cavalry behind them heard this, they rushed over thinking it was an enemy attack and fell into the pit. The situation was chaotic.
Those who had just fallen into the pit wanted to move but then they were stopped by the falling soldiers and horses which fell onto them. The situation was chaotic. Arrows started to fill the air emitting whistling sounds as they pierced through the darkness .
Horrible shrieks unceasingly came from the direction in the elite cavalry unit had entered the darkness to clear the way.
The faces of the troops still inside the city turned deathly pale when they heard the horrible shrieks. Their comrades had probably died in an ambush.
"Let's move, let's go to the western gate." said Mo Jie while remaining calm. Immediately after, all his troops moved towards the western gate.
Even though those who had an ice spirit were opening the way, they were still suffering losses as people died as they were burnt to death or struck by the rain of fiery arrows falling from the sky.
However, the number of troops gathered at the western gate hadn't decreased, on the contrary, there were even more than at the northern gate because there were still parts of the army joining the main force which had not yet arrived.
At that moment, there were more than two hundred thousand soldiers that gathered at the western city gate. But Mo Jie felt cold in his heart. Setting the city on fire was an extremely cruel method. Mo Jie couldn't help but appreciate the strategy. That tactic was unprecedented in history of the continent and it proved to be extremely efficient. It seemed like his five hundred thousand strong army were prisoners inside the city they had just captured.
"Open the gate, three thousand elite cavalry go and clear a path to the Duan Ren Border." said Mo Jie while still remaining indifferent. This time, he didn't send five thousand but three thousand troops.
As before, these troops opened the gate and left without hesitation.
However they ran straight into an ambush and Liu Cang Lan could be seen with his troops on the horizon.
The Mo Yue troops understood that Mo Jie had seen that there was a high possibility of it being a trap. Going to the western city gate was actually falling deeper into their trap. A moment before, outside of the northern gate there might not have been enough traps to stop the entire army, there may have only been a single trap. However they had fallen right into the enemies hands.
"General Liu Cang Lan, you are extremely smart. I am now thoroughly convinced." said Mo Jie while looking at Liu Cang Lan in a cold and detached way.
At that moment, the Xue Yue troops were still firing arrows. There was an endless rain of fire flying through the sky.
Because the tower blocked their sight, the Mo Yue troops couldn't see how many people were waiting outside. They could only see an endless stream of fire on the horizon.
"I am not the one who organized this strategy." said Liu Cang Lan coldly while slowly raising his hand.
"General, if it was not you, who was it?" asked Mo Jie stupefied.
"Lin Feng."
Liu Cang Lan then waved his hand down. At that moment, a huge volley of arrows turned into a storm that ravaged the two hundred thousand of Mo Yue troops.
Under that storm of burning arrows, a huge number of troops were killed without the chance to fight back. At the same time, the arrows set the corpses and the ground on fire which created a sea of fire which spread and burned even more people alive.
When Mo Jie saw that the Xue Yue troops were about to shoot another volley of arrows, he already knew that it was impossible for him to escape.
"Die." shouted Mo Jie. The Mo Yue army turned into a fearless war machine and moved towards the city gate to fight the arrows head on.
At that moment, everybody was cursing a single name: Lin Feng.
After that battle, Lin Feng would be famous within Xue Yue as well as in Mo Yue.

Chaos!
The troops from both countries were engaged in a fearsome battle. The battlefield was covered with the corpses of soldiers. The Mo Yue troops had rushed from the city to fight against the Xue Yue troops.
The Mo Yue troops constituted a powerful army and their spears glowed through the dark night with fearsome killing. The broken weapons on the ground emitted quiet metallic clangs from their movements.
On both sides of the city, the Chi Xie troops gathered into one location on the battlefield, they then fired another volley of arrows towards the Mo Yue army. The fire was still raging and the heat from the fire was growing more intense with every passing moment. The Mo Yue troops didn't know how to react. At the same time, amongst the Mo Yue troops, a sword glowed with a radiant light and released a terrifying deadly Qi. The sword slashed in a circle at full speed which created a terrifying pressure which killed hundreds of soldiers. It was Lin Feng.
After that sword attack, the other Chi Xie elites who had infiltrated the enemy's army also started to mercilessly slaughter the unguarded troops around them. It created chaos throughout the enemy army. However they continued to follow orders and did not attach a great importance to their own lives.
Fighting at that moment was an army of two hundred and fifty thousand Mo Yue troops while the Xue Yue troops were composed of less than one hundred thousand troops. Mo Yue while suffering heavy losses within the city, still held the advantage in numbers.
However, sooner or later, the other Xue Yue troops would have a direct confrontation with the enemy army, they just had to wait until the Mo Yue troops moved closer. In the time it would take for the Mo Yue army to reach them, how many arrows could they fire? But they had already killed half of the Mo Yue army and had caused chaos within the army. Considering the fact that they still had the Chi Xie troops ready to fight and Lin Feng's group of elites inside the enemy army causing chaos, it was safe to say that they had complete control over the situation.
When fighting the enemies in a head on battle, who would have the bravest soldiers? Which side would win?
Lin Feng was moving through the army. Anyone who tried to block Lin Feng turned into another corpse on the ground.
Lin Feng wasn't alone though, he was surrounded by the group of elites accompanying him.
The battle between Mo Yue and Xue Yue was a battle of victory or death. Retreating wasn't an option. Lin Feng had no choice. He needed to go and save Princess Duan Xin Ye. Duan Xian Ye had been kidnapped while he was protecting her, if something happened to her, Lin Feng would not only suffer a death sentence but it was also mean punishment for Liu Can Lan. Lin Feng had to rescue Duan Xin Ye.
To Lin Feng's left, a sword was also unceasingly glowing and every time it moved someone was killed, making its owner look like a reaper of death.
His sword was moving much faster than that of Lin Feng's sword, each of its blows were not only faster but also much more powerful. The deadly Qi it was releasing was several times heavier than that released by Lin Feng. It was clear that the owner of this sword had been through countless bloodbaths.
Lin Feng turned around and saw the young man cutting down his enemies and was shocked. Currently the young man's face was not like that of a beautiful girl. At that moment, he looked ice-cold and emotionless.
He was wearing pure white robes, but he looked like a death god. It was obviously Wen Ao Xue. No wonder he was so respected and revered at the Celestial Academy. Wen Ao Xue's beautiful eyes were as sharp as the god of death's sword.
On the horizon, a beautiful light started to fill the sky. Day was starting to break.
Outside of Duan Ren City, the sea of broken weapons had also turned into a sea of blood and corpses.
These corpses were still fresh and blood continued to pour from the bodies to create a sea of blood.
Lin Feng rushed forwards and with a single deadly sword he killed a dozen soldiers in his path. However, Lin Feng wasn't excited at all. He looked at all the countless corpses covering the battlefield. His heart felt saddened. This was war and their lives didn't matter much on the battlefield, but to someone they mattered.
A rumble spread through the atmosphere and was coming from a distant place on the horizon. It was a crash of lightning as if the heavens were descending with their wrath.
The entire crowd couldn't help but shiver from head to toe. Everybody slowly raised their head and looked to the horizon.
On the horizon where the sun had started to rise there was now a sea of black clouds. It seemed like a human shape had appeared within them, but it quickly disappeared. Darkness filled the battlefield once again as the sky was covered by these clouds.
It looked like a completely black creature who looked down on humans with disdain from the sky.
"How terrifying." thought Lin Feng. When he saw the sea of black clouds appear in the sky, his heart started pounding.
"A group of barbarians dare to fight against my Mo Yue." A silhouette appeared in the middle of the sea of black clouds. Immediately after, the palm of his hand thrust out and a black seal appeared on the ground.
The seal was the shape of a castle. There was a thick black deadly Qi within which pounded into the ground and crushed anything in its way.
The ground was violently shaking. The hearts of the Xue Yue army were all trembling with fear.
That attack had just killed a thousand Xue Yue soldiers. One attack was enough to claim a thousand lives, these Xue Yue soldiers could barely see it coming before they had been crushed, without even the time to give a horrible shriek.
A gigantic black crater appeared in the ground from the attack, all the corpses of the Xue Yue troops had disappeared into that blackness.
Besides, those who were near the attack, men and horses were sent hurtling away.
The faces of Xue Yue army turned deathly pale. What kind of cultivator was that? Facing such a strong cultivator, they had lost all their courage to fight.
Everybody had stopped moving. The Xue Yue army had come to a halt, the Mo Yue army had stopped too. They had all raised their heads and were blankly staring at that black silhouette in the sky.
"YEAAAHHHHHHH…." a short moment after, the Mo Yue troops gave a furious shout which made the ground shake.
That was an extremely strong cultivator from Mo Yue. Alone, he could annihilate an entire army.
When Lin Feng heard that shout, his sword slightly trembled.
There was no room for strategy, he couldn't bring about a radical change in this situation. In front of such a strong cultivator, who could influence the entire course of the war, there was nothing he could do.
He raised his left hand. Lin Feng hated his own weakness, he was not strong enough to protect himself and was not strong enough to influence the continent.
That black palm must have been genuine pure energy and the cultivator must be at the Xuan Qi layer. That pure energy was extremely brutal.
A cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer could rely on pure Qi and pure energy. Such a person could control the sky and eliminate his enemies with powerful attacks. He was clearly at the Xuan Qi layer and Chu Zhan Peng would be like an ant to be crushed under this cultivators shoes.
Someone who could control the sky and attack from the heavens was at least at the peak of the Xuan Qi Layer. Rumors said that the strongest cultivators could fly in the sky and kill millions of people as they wished. Those rumours were all true.
That was the world of cultivation. Strong cultivators could act as they pleased. Soldiers, emperors, rulers, as long as they were strong, they could destroy or save life as they saw fit.
Lin Feng also wanted to reach that point with his cultivation. He also hoped that he would be able to fly amongst the clouds someday. He was making great efforts to make that dream come true and he was unceasingly battling to gain enlightenment. His heart was filled with incredible ambitions and aspirations, he would grow to be as powerful as an unmovable mountain.
But to reach such a cultivation level, how much determination, experience and training was required? Nobody knew.
For example, the strong cultivator who was looking down on them from the clouds, could easily destroy the army of Xue Yue.
Could it be that the Xue Yue army was going to die?
"Liu Cang Lan, you've been resisting my army for a while now, I respect you. You are an outstanding person, therefore I will let you die with dignity, I will allow you to take your own life." The black silhouette in the sky was looking at Liu Cang Lan and sounded like a majestic deity. In front of him, even the highest-ranking generals meant nothing.
Liu Cang Lan raised his head while looking calm and indifferent. He looked at that silhouette in the sky. He then looked at the Xue Yue army. It looked like he was lamenting.
"During a war between two countries, the strongest cultivators are not allowed to get involved, that is one of the rules that all countries respect but today you come and pressure my army,
have I tacitly consented?" Liu Cang Lan's voice was filled with sorrow.
Mo Yue would respect the rule unless it really wanted to conquer Xue Yue. At that moment, no matter if it was Mo Yue or Xue Yue, at neither of them had the power to conquer the other. Therefore, that rule couldn't be broken. Of course, there was one exception, if one side accepted the behaviour of the other side.
"I accept." When the Xue Yue troops heard Liu Cang Lan, they were all filled with great sadness. Lin Feng was extremely saddened.
The princess had been kidnapped, and Duan Tian Lang had caused chaos within the army. Liu Cang Lan, at that moment, had agreed to take his own life… This war had caused chaos, nobody knew what would happen from that point.

Note: Yan Yu means "misty rain" …*sigh*
Everybody was looking towards the sky at the black silhouette.
They only saw that a cold smile had appeared on that black silhouette. He then said coldly: "Anyway, I will give you the time of ten breathes, if you don't end your own life then I will personally kill you."
"How could a real man accept death? I would rather die in a battle. Too bad that I've gotten my troops involved." said Liu Cang Lan while raising his head and looking at that black silhouette in the sky. Dense battle energy started burning around his body. His body then flew into the air. He was determined to fight until the end, how could he humiliate himself with suicide?
The entire Xue Yue army looked extremely saddened. This battle was unfair.
"Since you want to die, I will help you achieve your goal." said the black silhouette coldly. He gathered the pure energy around his body once again. It contained immense power.
"In a towering rage, I rest under the whistling sound of rain."
"Gazing into the distance, looking up to the heavens, I utter a long and loud cry. My chest feels painful."
"Thirty soldiers now with the dust and earth, the moon and the clouds stretching as far as can see."
Suddenly a song filled the entire battlefield with a harmonious melody.
"If Liu Cang Lan dies today, Prince Mo Jie will be buried here as well."
That voice was so light and powerful that there was no doubt to the truth contained within those words.
The black silhouette had a respectful expression on his face and he then looked into the distance and said: "Who dares to say such insane things?"
"Han Mo, did you think that the cultivators of Xue Yue were gone?" asked a voice which was growing nearer and nearer to that location. That person was quickly approaching from a great distance away. A short instant later, another silhouette appeared in the sky.
There was a floating cloud of pure Qi underneath that man. He was sitting cross-legged on the cloud of pure Qi, he was just calmly playing the zither in front of him.
"Yan Yu Ping Sheng, if I had known I would have brought a raincoat."
When Han Mo saw the person, he was astonished. Why had he shown up on the battlefield?
"With magnificent ideals in my mind yet starvation filling my stomach, I eat their flesh. To settle my thirst, I drink their blood."
The middle-aged man was singing and playing the zither. His fingers drifted above the strings and a white pure Qi emerged. In a flash, an ear piercing sound spread through the air, and suddenly, a thousand soldiers from Mo Yue died miserably under the power of his sound based attack.
While laughing and talking, He reduced the enemy to nothing, killing without spilling blood.
"Han Mo, if you kill my soldiers, I will kill your soldiers. In the same way, if you kill Liu Cang Lan, I kill Mo Jie." said the middle-aged man coldly while looking at Han Mo. Even though he was killing people, he looked graceful while playing the zither and smiling.
The crowd was astonished. He was another extremely strong cultivator. They couldn't stop him. One melody from his zither and he could instantly kill a thousand people.
When the Xue Yue troops saw this person, they looked enthusiastic. Their hearts were once again filled with hope.
They had never heard Yan Yu Ping Sheng's name but they knew that if he could speak that way, it meant that he must be no weaker than the black silhouette. This was one of the elite cultivators of Xue Yue.
At that moment, Lin Feng's heart was pounding as well. Yan Yu Ping Sheng, that was his real name.
Lin Feng knew that middle-aged man in the sky, but he wasn't the only one, at the Celestial Academy, there were indubitably many people who knew him as well.
That person was Lin Feng's zither teacher who taught him to cleanse his heart. It was his teacher from the peach tree orchard.
Lin Feng hadn't thought that he would see him on the battlefield. It made Lin Feng finally start to feel relieved. The man that helped him break through to a higher Ling Qi layer was also one of the experts of the country.
He was a wise man and he moved at the speed of lightning. He strangely looked like Wen Ao Xue somehow. He also had a womanly beauty to him and on the battlefield, he had the presence of a death god. His attacks cut down the enemy army in thousands.
"Yan Yu Ping Sheng." whispered Lin Feng. He wouldn't forget his name. Maybe Yan Yu Ping Sheng was even stronger than Long Ding, the Vice-Principal.
Han Mo was fixedly staring at Yan Yu Ping Sheng. He remained silent for a moment and then said: "Yan Yu Ping Sheng, long time no see. Would you like to fight against me?"
"If you want to fight, let's fight."
Yan Yu Ping Sheng sounded calm. He was so calm as if the rest of the world couldn't affect his feelings.
Pure Qi was condensing around Han Mo's body. He spun his right hand in the air and suddenly black pure energy appeared.
"Annihilation!" Han Mo threw a punch through the air with created an incredible noise as it broke through the atmosphere. That pitch-black energy seemed like it wanted to cover the heavens and the earth with its seals. The attack was rushing straight towards Yan Yu Ping Sheng.
Yan Yu Ping Sheng was calmly sitting on his white cloud of pure Qi. His fingers moved over the strings of his zither and then an incredible bright light emerged and moved towards his opponent.
"Pshhh… pshhh… pshhh…"
Loud clashing sounds invaded the atmosphere. Immediately after, the resplendent and bright light pierced through that black energy. That incredible white light contained an amazing quantity of pure energy and it was moving straight towards Han Mo. However, the black energy was also continuing its way towards Yan Yu Ping Sheng even though the attack had been greatly reduced in power.
"Let's move to another place!" shouted Han Mo while moving down through the air."
"That's exactly what I had in mind." replied Yan Yu Ping Sheng. His cloud of pure Qi then vanished.
Then the two silhouettes shot into the distance and moved far away from the armies. Finally, they disappeared from vision completely.
Han Mo and Yan Yu Ping Sheng were extremely strong. If they had stayed there, their attacks would have killed the spectators which is not what Han Mo and Yan Yu Ping Sheng wished.
When all the troops saw the two silhouettes disappear in the horizon, they remained calm for a long time gazing into the distance.
At such a level of strength, one person could affect the fate of an entire battle, they could destroy an entire army. They were extremely powerful. No wonder that the Nine Countries decided to set a rule stipulating that such strong cultivators couldn't get involved in wars. They could slaughter an entire army with little effort.
"Die!" shouted Liu Cang Lan in the air. He took his bow from his back and a golden spirit appeared behind him. His bow was drew the attention of everyone.
Liu Cang Lan then pulled back the string of his bow when golden arrow illusions appeared and immediately aimed at the Mo Yue troops. He then released the bow string and seven golden lights rushed through the air. Dozens of people died from this single attack.
"Die!" shouted the Xue Yue army. The ground started to shake again. A moment before, Han Mo had killed one thousand people with a single palm strike. He had also tried to force Liu Cang Lan to commit suicide; which had profoundly affected the morale of the troops but at that moment, Yan Yu Ping Sheng had appeared and was fighting against Han Mo. He had come to save them. They still had hope to be able to escape from death. He had lit the fire within their hearts once again.
Blood was heavily flowing on the ground once again.
Lin Feng was firmly holding his sword and unceasingly cutting down anyone in his path. A group of people was fighting alongside him. Wherever they went, blood flowed.
The battlefield had no set area and the battle quickly grew to cover a larger area over time. There was absolutely no organization to this battle, it was only kill or getting killed.
At that moment, Lin Feng finally noticed a silhouette. It was a beautiful girl riding on a horse: Duan Xin Ye.
However, she was unable to move. Her body had been tied. Besides, she was surrounded by eight of the elite cavalry soldiers. These eight people were wearing majestic black armor, they were members of the black guards.
Duan Xin Ye saw Lin Feng. Her beautiful eyes looked like a warm autumn day. The expression in her eyes revealed that she couldn't wait to be saved by Lin Feng.
Of course, these black guards had also noticed Lin Feng killing his way toward them, leaving nothing but blood and corpses behind him. Their facial expressions grew cold and evil.
At that moment, Lin Feng jumped forward and the same time, a black guard also jumped towards him.
"Pshhh…"
The light emitted by Lin Feng's sword was dazzling.
The black guard's hand moved. Immediately after, Lin Feng felt that a rapid river was rushing towards him. His sword was swaying in the midst of a raging storm of attacks. There was a noise like a wave crashing down on the atmosphere.
When the energy they were releasing collided, Lin Feng was immediately blown backwards. He only saw that that black guard had immediately landed back on his horse. He then looked at Lin Feng with a cold glare and then the eight black guards urged their horses forward and left with the princess.
"How strong. These black guards are extremely strong." Lin Feng's pupils shrank. Even though there were only eight of the black guards, they were much stronger than all the people that Lin Feng had killed previously.
Lin Feng rushed forward while brandishing his sword and immediately after, a soldier fell down from his horse. Lin Feng immediately jumped on the horse and galloped towards these eight black guards at full speed.
Duan Xin Ye had to be saved even if it cost him his life.

The wind was piercing through Lin Feng's eardrums. He was urging like mad on his horse, galloping at full speed.
Two silhouettes brandished their spears. They wanted to block Lin Feng, but they only saw his sword glow for an instant. In a flash, these two silhouettes fell dead onto the ground. That move hadn't affected Lin Feng's speed at all. Lin Feng was still chasing the princess while being completely surrounded by a fierce battlefield with people dying all around him.
Lin Feng was galloping at full speed. He was almost out of the Duan Ren Border. These nine silhouettes, without the slightest bit of hesitation, entered the passageway that led out of the Duan Ren Border. Lin Feng followed them without hesitation.
Even though the Duan Ren Border was already under the control of Mo Yue, Lin Feng was also wearing the armor of a Mo Yue soldier which made him look like he was one of them. Therefore, nobody was going to attack Lin Feng.
Lin Feng, as well as the group following him, also passed through the passageway of the Duan Ren Border smoothly. Passing through the passage didn't slow them down at all. Once they exited the passage, they could see corpses as far as their eyes could possibly see. These dead bodies lying on the ground were all of the Xue Yue troops.
"What fast horses." Even though Lin Feng's horse was galloping at full speed, he couldn't catch up with the black guards at all. Even though they were guided by the horse which Duan Xin Ye was riding, these nine brown horses were much faster than the ordinary horses Mo Yue soldiers used.
However, Lin Feng didn't intend to give up, and he was just as determined as before.
They continued to chase them for a few hours. Lin Feng didn't how much distance he had already covered. Once in a while, he could see smoke in the distance.
At that moment, Lin Feng had already crossed the border that Xue Yue and Mo Yue shared. At that moment, he was in the Mo Yue Country.
At that moment, there was foam around the mouth of the horse which Lin Feng was riding and it was covered with sweat. It looked exhausted.
That horse had incredible strength and agility, but at that moment, it was already unable to continue. A horse that quick and agile was already exhausted.
Lin Feng could already sense that he was near his enemies. The silhouettes he had been chasing were finally slowing down and then they slowly stopped.
Lin Feng then abruptly pulled on the reins to make his horse come to a halt. The horse neighed, and suddenly, the legs of Lin Feng's horse suddenly bent and it fell down. At the moment when Lin Feng was pulling on the reins, the horse was already too exhausted to continue. It no longer had the energy to continue.
Lin Feng jumped down from the horse.
He raised his head and saw that the people he was following were also slowly turning around. While remaining on their horses, they coldly looked towards Lin Feng.
Behind these people, Duan Xin Ye was staring at Lin Feng. Even though her hair was messy, her beautiful face wasn't covered, and her soft and delicate face revealed that she was touched by Lin Feng's actions. Her expression was bewitching.
"Let the princess go."
Lin Feng grabbed the long sword from his back. He then slowly started walking forwards. He looked cold and expressionless. The tip of his sword was dragging across the ground, which was sliced open by the sword, leaving a trail behind it.
"The prince has given us the order to capture him alive." said one of the black guards indifferently. Lin Feng was stupefied, as the prince wanted him alive?
The prince was obviously Mo Jie. Could it be that he had planned everything from the beginning and had sent these soldiers to escort the princess and run far away with her so that Lin Feng would follow them?
"It was too bad that we had to spare his life last time. All we could do was take the princess alive. The prince is too merciful." said one of the men. His face was visible though. Even though he wasn't very old, his face was already covered with a long beard.
Besides, what surprised Lin Feng is that even though the eight people accompanying Duan Xin Ye were all black guards, their helmets were different than normal.
Amongst them, four of them had a helmet which entirely covered their face except for their eyes.
The four others were wearing helmets which didn't entirely cover their faces. The one who had just talked was one of those wearing a helmet which didn't cover his entire face.
"Hu Qiong, even though we cannot kill him, we can teach him a good lesson. We can still be incredibly cruel." said another person. Hu Qiong was surprised. An evil smile appeared on his face. His horse then started walking towards Lin Feng.
"Do you know what status the four of us have?" asked Hu Qiong coldly.
"The four idiots." replied Lin Feng with an indifferent tone. How could he know who Hu Qiong and the others were?
"Idiots?" Hu Qiong smiled coldly. "You will realize how foolish you have been to attack us. We are all black guard Lieutenants. We were leading troops on the battlefield, but because of you and that trap you organized, the prince ordered us to leave and capture you alive. You should be proud of yourself."
"Lieutenants…" Lin Feng was surprised. Because of him, they used the princess as bait and sent four lieutenants. Against all expectations, they were really interested in him.
But who were the four with their faces covered? Even though the Qi they released was not as strong as that of the lieutenants, it was also extremely strong.
"Your strategy to set the city on fire has led to the death of many of our fellow soldiers, and even though I cannot kill you, I want to beat you within an inch of your life. All I feel is hatred towards you." said Hu Qiong. He then grabbed his weapon, which was a gigantic axe. He looked ferocious and terrifying. His axe probably weighed at least a few hundred kilos.
"Arrrghhhh!" Hu Qiong shouted furiously. His horse suddenly charged towards Lin Feng at full speed. His axe let out a loud thunderous roar as it tore through the air.
Lin Feng unsheathed his sword with incredible speed and sliced off the front legs from the horse which Hu Qiong was riding. Hu Qiong continued and jumped from his horse towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng then raised his sword to block the axe as it crashed down from above. When the axe and Lin Feng's long sword met, Lin Feng was pushed down. The shock alone was enough to make Lin Feng groan, as he had been injured.
"How powerful!" thought Lin Feng. He was astonished. He was blankly staring at the enemy. That guy was the same strength as the leader of the black guards he killed before, seventh Ling Qi layer. He was a level stronger than Lin Feng. Besides, the pressure of Hu Qiong's battle axe striking Lin Feng felt like a mountain crashing down on him, and it even split the ground beneath him.
"You cannot even withstand a single attack." laughed Hu Qiong while looking down on Lin Feng.
However, when he raised his axe again, he was astonished. Lin Feng suddenly transformed into a shadow and disappeared from sight.
Lin Feng had acted so quickly that Hu Qiong didn't even have time to react. He was still clumsily raising his huge axe.
"Be careful!" shouted one of the black guards, but it was too late. Lin Feng's sword was already at Hu Qiong's throat.
Hu Qiong was still trying to raise his axe, but Lin Feng had already withdrawn his sword.
Vanishing Shadow was the art of taking people's lives by sudden surprise attacks before they could react; one strike was enough.
That was the power of a Di level skill. Even when Lin Feng was still at the fourth Ling Qi layer, he had used the same attack to kill a cultivator at the seventh Ling Qi layer.
Lin Feng already possessed the strength of the sixth Ling Qi layer. Not only was his basic strength improved by a great deal, but he had also trained with using his martial skills. Practising his martial skills allowed him to utilize maximum strength when attacking.
He could use his Vanishing Shadow to slaughter people in an instant.
Of course, Lin Feng had managed to kill Hu Qiong, who was at the seventh Ling Qi layer, because he underestimated Lin Feng. He had thought that he was a true expert, and Lin Feng exploited that opportunity.
"I don't want to die." Hu Qiong's throat let out a small cry, his voice husky. And suddenly, blood poured from his throat, and even if he didn't want to die, he was already dead.
Life and death; a momentary slip and it could all be over.

"Hu Qiong!" shouted the three other lieutenants at the same time. The three other lieutenants were looking at Hu Qiong's collapsing silhouette, their faces were red with anger.
They then raised their heads and looked at Lin Feng with boiling killing intent.
"You dared to kill Hu Qiong?" said one of the lieutenants sounding ice-cold while fixedly staring at Lin Feng.
"Did you not see it?" asked Lin Feng fearlessly.
Lin Feng had an opportunity to kill his opponents; he wasn't going to miss it. Hu Qiong possessed the strength of the seventh Ling Qi layer. Hu Qiong's axe was incredibly powerful to the extent that Lin Feng had been injured by the shock from his attack. If he hadn't killed Hu Qiong, it was the same as committing suicide.
During a war, while two sides were fighting, all battles were a matter of life and death.
"Grr…" The lieutenant gnashed his teeth. He hated Lin Feng and wanted to kill him but Prince Mo Jie had given the order to capture Lin Feng alive.
Nobody dared disobey Mo Jie's orders.
"You four, go and capture him." said the lieutenant while turning around to look at the four who had their faces covered. He sounded cold and commanding.
"No, we can't do that." said one them. That lieutenant was surprised. His facial expression became even colder.
Lin Feng was also surprised. It seemed like the relationship between them was not that good. But what kind of relationship did they have?
"We are willing to send out three but two of you have to help them to capture him. How does that sound?" continued the man whose face was covered. He sounded like he was the leader of those four.
"Alright." said the lieutenant after being unable to make up his mind for a brief period. He then nodded and said: "If you don't fight with all your strength, don't blame me for being impolite."
These five people moved towards Lin Feng, two lieutenants and three of the black guards with their faces covered. When these people released Qi and force, Lin Feng felt that he was suffocating.
How strong. These people had all broken through to the seventh Ling Qi layer.
Looking solemn, Lin Feng's eyes slowly turned dark. His eyes became cold and expressionless.
He gave the impression that he could control everything around him. He could perceive everything clearly, even each individual leaf rustling in the wind.
While facing five strong cultivators of the seventh Ling Qi layer, Lin Feng was completely focused. What seemed like an endless quantity of battle energy was surrounding his body.
The ground beneath Lin Feng was shaking and his armor was emitting metallic clangs. Lin Feng was firmly holding his sword. Even when facing five cultivators at the seventh Ling Qi layer, Lin Feng didn't flinch.
On the path of cultivation, one of the best traits was a strong willpower and unwavering determination. Even if Lin Feng was facing five cultivators at the seventh Ling Qi layer, he wouldn't flinch. The only way out was a battle and everything else was destiny. That was the only path to reaching the clouds.
Fearlessness led to supreme achievements.
They could feel the powerful battle energy that Lin Feng was releasing, so the five cultivators remained vigilant.
He had killed Hu Qiong, who had broken through to the seventh Ling Qi layer, with a single strike. They couldn't let their guards down and give Lin Feng an exploitable opportunity.
"First, injure him severely. You don't need to be merciful. Just don't kill him." said one of the lieutenants coldly. Their horses neighed as they all rushed towards Lin Feng. They were all attacking Lin Feng at the same time.
Lin Feng's body flickered and just like a shadow moved backwards and avoided the attacks.
These five people continued to move forwards and suddenly, Lin Feng's silhouette suddenly disappeared without trace.
"Impossible!" these five cultivator were astonished. There was only a blurry, dark light which looked like a specter in his place. At the same time, a sensation of danger rose within their hearts. He has a shadow spirit.
Unable to change the situation, the five people continued rushing towards the spectre with regret in their hearts.
"Dark Shadow, die!" a subtle sound spread through the atmosphere and blood splashed into the air. The shadow passed by two of the black guards and immediately after, Lin Feng became visible again.
These five people had not grouped together effectively. Lin Feng had his back towards two of the black guards who were charging towards him at full speed. However, as they got closer to Lin Feng, their bodies trembled and they fell down from their horses, they were already dead.
That was the second part of the Di level skill Cross Shadow: Dark Shadow. The cultivator could transform into an almost invisible and inaudible shadow. This was also the part which Protector Kong had never managed to master. However, Lin Feng, when releasing his Celestial Spirit, could use it with a small degree of mastery. Even though it wasn't perfect, he could still transform into a shadow which made him look like a transparent spectre, barely visible. Besides, using that skill, he had easily killed two cultivators who had a higher cultivation than him.
Of course, Lin Feng had to pay a huge price to do so.
Lin Feng coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth. He hadn't mastered Dark Shadow, so he wasn't able to turn into a perfect shadow, which is why Lin Feng had been damaged by the opponents' attacks. However he managed to kill two of them which could be considered a great achievement.
However, Lin Feng felt that his internal organs were badly injured.
"Lin Feng."
Duan Xin Ye was looking at Lin Feng and her cheeks were rosy. Why was Lin Feng doing all of this to save her? He was fighting so many strong opponents to save her.
"Bastard." furiously shouted the lieutenant who had not yet got involved. He immediately charged towards Lin Feng while throwing his most powerful punch.
Lin Feng could perceive everything around him and could see that fist rushing towards him. Lin Feng quickly punched the ground with his right hand and propelled himself away from the attack. However, he was still affected by the power from that punch. Another mouthful of blood was coughed up as he landed. Lin Feng supported himself on the ground with one hand, but his face was incredibly pale.
Eighth Ling Qi layer!
That lieutenant was also the strongest. He surprisingly had the strength of the eighth Ling Qi layer.
"You killed my brothers, you must die!" As before, that lieutenant wasn't going to give up. He slammed his powerful foot into the ground and jumped through the air. He was launching another punch towards the injured Lin Feng.
"Boom!"
Lin Feng's body was propelled backwards. His injuries this time were much more severe. A moment before, he had already been severely injured but now he had just received two punches from a cultivator of the eighth Ling Qi layer.
"Lin Feng, today you will die." piercingly cold, deadly energy emerged from the lieutenant's body. He was slowly walking towards Lin Feng.
"The prince wants him alive. If you kill him, you are disobeying the prince's orders." said one of the men with the helmet covering his face. The lieutenant was surprised. He then immediately said in a cold way: "He killed two of my brothers, if I cannot kill him, I will cut off his arms."
"Cut off my arms?" said Lin Feng while raising his head. His dark and expressionless eyes looked even more determined. He stood up and an incredible quantity of battle energy emerged from his body. This battle energy was insanely fluctuating around Lin Feng's body.
Suddenly a gigantic ice spirit appeared behind Lin Feng and it seemed to reach the sky. It seemed like the entire area was instantly frozen. The temperature immediately dropped.
Sword Qi was whistling through the atmosphere. It was sharp and deadly.
When the others saw that, they were stupefied. Lin Feng was still able to release such incredible battle energy, his willpower and determination was incredible.
He took a step forward looking calm and detached, but after that step, the battle energy around Lin Feng's body turned into a violent tempest which started to rage in the center of the ice.
The lieutenant was astonished. He narrowed his eyes. Lin Feng was incredibly dangerous. It seemed like his two types of energy had fused together with the energy from heaven and earth. It seemed like Lin Feng could take on anyone, including the lieutenant.
He was showing the traits of a true hero. He had incredible will power and zeal. His heart was fearless, filled with determination and he felt like he could annihilate everything in his path.
"Die!" said Lin Feng with a calm voice. However, he didn't use his sword. He used his finger and formed it into a sword. It seemed like his finger had become a real sword. More and more force fused together with the other energy, he was using an energy attack.
When Lin Feng raised his finger, it sounded like the air was being pierced by a sword.
"Boom!"
The lieutenant quickly released his Fierce Beast spirit which released an incredible power. It was an extremely strong spirit, a huge fierce beast that looked like a small mountain.
He had the impression that Lin Feng was extremely dangerous. Even though he had broken through to the eighth Ling Qi layer, he was sure that he needed to use all his strength against Lin Feng. He used his most powerful attack 'Oblivion Fist' and launched himself toward Lin Feng.
"BOOM!!" the ground was shaking. An insanely strong wind rose between them, clouds of dust were fiercely blown in all directions.
"Come back!"
Lin Feng was violently pushed back but ignored the blood coming from his mouth. Besides, as if his energy was inexhaustible, more piercingly-cold Qi, more sword Qi and more battle energy emerged from body in what seemed to be an endless supply.
"BOOM!"
The ground immediately caved in and a huge crater appeared where Lin Feng stood. Lin Feng was blown backwards once again and he unceasingly continued to cough up mouthfuls of blood. Duan Xin Ye couldn't stand watching this scene any longer.
However, it seemed like the quantity of Qi emerging from Lin Feng's body didn't stop increasing. All the energy he released was fusing together.
That fearless battle energy was becoming as powerful and majestic and the earth and the heavens.

The lieutenant was looking at Lin Feng's expressionless eyes and at his ever-increasing Qi. His facial expression became even more serious and his fierce beast spirit started to move while roaring loudly.
"Die!" shouted the lieutenant. The palm of his hand rushed towards Lin Feng. It was filled with extreme strength and it suddenly transformed into a huge bestial hand. The palm had become large enough to cover Lin Feng's entire body, this was clearly the strength of his spirit.
"BOOM!"
That incredible force was crashing through the air towards Lin Feng. It felt like even the ground beneath him was shaking under the pressure, he felt like he was suffocating.
However, his battle energy wasn't disappearing, Lin Feng was fearless. Instead of using a single finger, he used his entire fist and started to concentrate all of his energy into it. His entire fist became sharper than a sword. Anything that fist touched would be pierced straight through. The lieutenant's palm and Lin Feng's fist collided with a brutal explosion.
"BOOM!"
Another extremely loud sound filled the air. The ground under Lin Feng's feet had cracked. The lieutenant was like a massive ferocious beast and he struck like a mountain crashing down onto Lin Feng.
The noises has suddenly stopped and then the extreme power of the lieutenant's hand started oppressing Lin Feng's body. Lin Feng felt like his bones and internal organs were going to explode. He was badly injured but was still standing upright and he wasn't moving back at all which caused everyone to blankly stare at him.
After a moment the atmosphere became silent. Dripping blood was following the lieutenant's hand as it moved. What nobody knew is that a moment before, Lin Feng's fist had pierced the palm of his hand. There was a huge hole in its center. However, he didn't stop because he knew that Lin Feng's injuries were more severe than his own.
At that moment, Lin Feng's fist was still against the lieutenant's palm. They were standing there motionless. Lin Feng's eyes were expressionless and he could clearly feel everything within his surroundings. That was Lin Feng's own world of darkness.
His bones had been broken and his internal organs had been severely damaged. He could collapse at any moment and breathe his last breath but, as before, he was standing tall.
In his own world, ice was blue, sword energy was white and battle energy was golden. Everything, in his world, could be seen within his mind.
He could borrow force from the world and use it to help him to carry out even more powerful attacks.
Energy attacks were the highest achievement he had for using this method. He could make different types of energy fuse together and become even more powerful. Shockingly, each attack could be much stronger when fused than when using a massive amount of a single force.
However, no matter if it was force or energy attacks, they were all absorbed from the outside world. They didn't belong to Lin Feng and did not count as his own strength. They were just tools that he could use to harness his strength. They required comprehension and represented a limited power.
In the middle of his own world, Lin Feng had to use his own strength.
In Lin Feng's world, the three colors were spinning and fusing together. At the same time, around Lin Feng's body, there was no ice, no sword energy and no burning battle energy. At that moment, he looked like an ordinary person who didn't even practice cultivation. There was absolutely nothing exceptional about him.
However, while looking extremely common, there was still something mysterious, something which seemed like a heavenly mystery.
Lin Feng's body was absorbing the pure Qi from heaven and earth and that pure Qi was being absorbed into every cell of his body. Lin Feng's bones, flesh, and muscles were constantly strengthening. His entire skeleton was emitting cracking sounds as if it was trying to reassemble itself from the broken state.
The path of cultivation that a person walked could change their entire destiny.
That sort of change wasn't brought about by a person's strength. Cultivation could modify cultivators' bones, flesh and muscles to make the body more suitable and stronger in accordance with a person's will.
The bones could enhance and become a host for a stronger body.
Flesh and muscles could be strengthened and blood vessels could be enhanced.
A person's temperament was the only thing that could strengthen the power of the mind and spirit.
A person's temperament would be affected by the cultivators training method and actions, it was also the subject of constant change. Bones constantly needed to change and become stronger in order to be in perfect harmony with the strengthened body.
That sort of change required damage. The bones had to be broken before they could become stronger. The weak flesh needed to be destroyed before it could become more resilient. When the body was broken it could continue to become stronger, however this was only meant for within cultivation practice, not battle.
It was as if Lin Feng had changed the rules. He had only broken through to the sixth Ling Qi layer and his bones had been broken by external damage. This wasn't done in the process of cultivation, but during battle, however Lin Feng was using the external forces to gain a better understanding of cultivation and to strengthen his body.
He had broken bones yet he was still standing!
The people who were present were astonished. Their hearts were racing. They could feel that Lin Feng had changed but they couldn't say what had changed about him. He still seemed to be the same person as before.
His temperament had completely changed. At that moment, it seemed like Lin Feng, the heavens and the earth were all in perfect harmony. It seemed like his true nature was finally revealed.
Lin Feng seemed incredibly dangerous at that moment. The lieutenant who was fighting against him had a clear advantage, but he couldn't help but feel a terrible premonition as if he was in great danger.
That feeling of insecurity made him quick to act again. He stamped his foot into the ground like a huge ferocious beast. The ground shook and a cloud of dust rose in the air.
The lieutenant raised his head and rushed like a madman toward Lin Feng. The palm of a gigantic hand appeared again and rushed towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng moved his hand slightly and immediately swiped his hand in the direction of the illusionary palm. A bright light filled the air from the collision. When the light disappeared, the scent of blood filled the air. A hand had been cut off and was sent flying through the air.
Immediately after, an extremely loud and painful shriek could be heard.
"AAHHHHHH…. My hand……"
A short moment after, the lieutenant realized that his hand was missing. He looked at his left forearm but there was no hand attached and only a fountain of blood pouring from his arm. A hideous expression covered his face.
How was this possible? Even most cultivators of the seventh Ling Qi layer who were using weapons would not even scratch his skin. His fierce beast spirit was extremely strong. When using his beast spirit, his offensive and defensive abilities were terrifyingly high. However, at that moment, his hand had easily been sliced off. He didn't even know where that bright and resplendent light came from.
There were absolutely no weapons in Lin Feng's hands.
The other people were also staring at Lin Feng. They were astonished. That bright and resplendent light a moment before was…. Lin Feng's hand.
At that moment, Lin Feng didn't look ordinary any longer, he was standing there and his entire body looked like it had transformed into a sword, an extremely terrifying sword.
His body was a sword and his sword was his body.
That bright and resplendent light had come from his hand because his entire body was a sword.
"Sword fusion!" The crowd was astonished. Indeed, that was one of the sword force layers, sword and body fusion. Lin Feng had broken through to another layer of mastery regarding forces.
Lin Feng only had the strength of the sixth Ling Qi layer but could surprisingly understand some of the mysteries of the Xuan Qi layer… which even some cultivators of the Xuan Qi layer couldn't understand. His natural talent and intelligence was monstrous.
"Cut!" said Lin Feng in a low voice. Lin Feng raised his hand again. The lieutenant was covering the stump on his forearm with his other hand and suddenly started shaking in fear. He wanted to move back but it was already too late. The mysterious bright light rose again and sliced into the lieutenant's throat like a flash. His face suddenly looked rigid and he immediately collapsed.
A cultivator of the eighth Ling Qi layer was dead.
Lin Feng, with his strength, had already killed three cultivators of the seventh Ling Qi layer as well as one of the eight Ling Qi layer.
From those eight black guards, one lieutenant was left as well as three people whose faces were covered.
Lin Feng turned around and looked at one of the people, whose face was covered, he was next to the princess. That person immediately moved aside and opened the way for Lin Feng. He then said: "The princess is yours."
Lin Feng was stupefied, he moved towards the princess and looked at the man whose face was covered, and he saw him move towards the three remaining survivors.
"You're not going to kill him?" coldly asked the last remaining lieutenant while looking at the man, whose face was covered.
"There are only four of us. Even if we all attacked together, we only have a small chance of winning." said the man whose face was covered while moving towards the lieutenant. He then suddenly transformed into a shadow, jumped off his horse and rushed towards the last remaining lieutenant. An extremely strong wind emanated from his hand and crashed into the lieutenant's chest.
The lieutenant's heart twitched, his internal organs had been damaged beyond repair by that attack.
"You….." the lieutenant wanted to speak but he then saw the masked man carrying out a final attack against him. The lieutenant then fell off his horse, dead.

Lin Feng looked surprised.
The two others with their helmets covering their faces also looked at Lin Feng. They peculiar look in their eyes.
"Lin Feng, the three of us will not fight against you. You can leave." said one of them sounding cold. They had all moved out of Lin Feng's path together.
"You guys are alright with my decision, right?" the two others remained silent and immediately nodded.
"Let's go." said the leader of the men. Immediately after, they turned around and left. They saw that Lin Feng didn't intend to stop them. Their horses neighed and they then started galloping away at full speed fearing that Lin Feng might change his mind.
But when they had both caught up to the leader of the group, a brutal energy crashed into their bodies. The sound of thunder spread through the atmosphere and blood poured from the two black guards mouths.
Immediately after, another strike of that powerful energy hit them from behind, they could only feel their body go rigid. They tried to release their own energy and move away, but it was already too late. At the moment when they tried to move themselves away, a lethal hand strike pierced both of their chests, killing them in an instant.
Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye were astonished. They slowly turned around and looked at the final remaining black guard.
They only saw that he was moving towards them. When he arrived in front of Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye, he said: "Lin Feng, even though you have become stronger at the critical moment, you are now very weak and cannot fight for much longer, I advise that you to avoid future trouble and to find a place to rest."
"Huh?" Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. He knew that he was very weak at that moment.
Indeed, even though Lin Feng's broken bones had started to reassemble themselves and he could fuse with his sword, his bones still hadn't completely recovered. Besides, his internal organs had been severely damaged. Lin Feng perfectly understood that he was in no state to continue fighting.
When he saw that the man wanted to leave without killing him, he felt like he was truly too weak.
Besides, Lin Feng couldn't understand why that person was willing to help him.
Who is that person really? Why was he with the black guards?
"Who are you?" asked Lin Feng.
"You don't need to know who I am, Lin Feng. You have a strong determination and willpower, you are fearless, these qualities are engraved deep in your heart and they make you the cultivator that you are today. Not everybody can be like that, many people chose to be scared of dying and suffer in silence." said the man without answering Lin Feng's question.
"Lin Feng, this war between our two countries is not as simple to understand as you imagine. Behind the curtains, we are just pawns, nobodies. They will sacrifice us at any time to achieve what they desire, like savage animal. This time, you took a risk but it wasn't worth it because nothing was going to happen to the princess." Said the man with the helmet still covering his face. His eyes, which were visible, were looking at Lin Feng and looked sincere.
"Don't forget to not return using the same road you used to come. Not all the Mo Yue army will die during the war or at least, Mo Jie will not die. Wait until they come back to Mo Yue and then you can go back to Xue Yue. Finally, it is my wish that you will make the Yun Hai Sect rise once again."
When that man finished talking, he turned around and galloped away at full speed. His silhouette gradually disappeared on the horizon.
Lin Feng was looking at that silhouette from behind and lights were flashing in his eyes. A thousand thoughts were flashing through his mind.
"Make the Yun Hai Sect rise once again?!" repeated Lin Feng in a low voice. That man had said that Lin Feng was determined and fearless, that these values were deeply engraved in his heart and said that many people suffered in silence scared for their lives. Maybe this person was speaking of himself, suffering in silence to save his own life.
That person must have been a former member of the Yun Hai Sect!
Indeed, that person was indeed a former member of the Yun Hai Sect. Besides, he had chosen to take refuge in the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue to save his own life which is why he said those words.
That person, had skills as limpid as water, he was extremely strong and had broken through to the eighth Ling Qi layer. In Lin Feng's mind, he could only think of one person, there had been an incredibly strong disciple in the Yun Hai Sect.
"Ling Hu…… He Shan!" That person used to be the first disciple of the Yun Hai Sect Core Disciples, Ling Hu He Shan.
"Lin Feng, this war between our two countries is not as simple to understand as you imagine. Behind the curtains, we are just pawns, nobodies. They will sacrifice us at any time to achieve what they desire, like savage animal. This time, you took a risk but it wasn't worth it because nothing was going to happen to the princess."
Lin Feng recalled Ling Hu He Shan's words once again. His heart was pounding. Indeed, Ling Hu He Shan had been at the princess' side, which meant that the four men with helmets covering their faces were all students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue.
Students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue as well as black guards had been working together to secure the princess.
People who were meant to be absolute enemies had been collaborating.
The leader of the Mo Yue armies was Mo Jie and the leader of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue was Duan Tian Lang.
When Lin Feng thought about that, cold killing intent invaded his entire body and penetrated into his heart and even his bones.
This war was like a chess game. Its outcome was planned from the beginning.
The fact that the princess had been kidnapped, the chaos amongst the troops, the lives of a few hundred thousand soldiers, everything had been planned from the beginning and was part of their plan. Everything had been planned so that the people behind the curtains could achieve their goals. These people wanted Lin Feng dead which is why they captured the princess in Lin Feng's presence and had then blamed Liu Cang Lan. That tragedy had led to the death of hundreds of thousands people.
However, Lin Feng had given his best to ruin their plans. He had been unwilling to give up and had made great efforts to find the princess. Was that really worth it though?
Fortunately, Lin Feng hadn't died. He had gained enlightenment through battle and had learnt how to master sword fusion. He was much stronger now than before.
Lin Feng stood there while remaining silence. Finally, he moved and took a deep breath, all his thoughts vanished like smoke.
Lin Feng had a clear conscience and had stuck to his beliefs. That was enough.
That plot and the conspiracy to take his life had actually helped him to become stronger.
His path of cultivation would allow him to reach the clouds and to destroy any plots or conspiracies that came his way.
Lin Feng turned around and looked at Duan Xin Ye with a cold and indifferent glare. He was absolutely expressionless as if he was looking at a stranger.
"Lin Feng!" said Duan Xin Ye when she saw Lin Feng's expression. Lin Feng's cold expression made her heart start to race.
She just saw Lin Feng raise his hand, and in a flash, the vines constricting her body were cut down.
When he finished, Lin Feng turned around and left, while surprisingly ignoring Duan Xin Ye.
Initially, she was a good person and was safe inside the capital.
But because she decided to come to the battlefield, hundreds of thousands of people had to die. Lin Feng himself had almost died trying to save her.
"Lin Feng, I didn't know!" said Duan Xin Ye in a low voice. Her eyes were moist. She had heard Ling Hu He Shan and obviously understood everything he said. She also knew what Lin Feng was thinking at that moment.
As a princess, she had played the key role in the conspiracy. How could all these things be unclear to her? She was royalty who could pass the heavy curtains to enter the imperial palace. Besides, Lin Feng had already asked her why she wanted to come to the battlefield even though it wasn't necessary for her to be there and was even dangerous. That conspiracy was obviously the reason why she had come. She could perfectly understand Lin Feng's feelings.
Lin Feng continued forward. He didn't look like he intended to stop. He looked steady and firm.
"Lin Feng, I really didn't know!" said Duan Xin Ye, tears were flowing from her eyes. She felt a heavy pain gripping her heart.
Only a woman in love could feel such a pain within her heart!
Maybe she had actually fallen in love!

A horse-driven carriage was moving down an ancient road.
Three horses were pulling the carriage. Behind that carriage, there were many people riding horses and acting as guards.
"Neeeiiighh…"
The person driving the carriage pulled back on the reins and came to a stop.
Then, guards on the right and left of the carriage continued moving forwards. A person was lying on the ground. That person was wearing the armor of a soldier.
"Fu Bo, his heartbeat is normal, there is no irregularity at all. He's alive but unconscious." said one man to the driver of the carriage while checking the person's body.
"Move him to the side of the road. We have to hurry." said the driver of the carriage indifferently. The man was about to execute the order, but at that moment, a pair of lily-white hands opened the curtains of the carriage. A delicate face appeared from behind the curtains. It was a beautiful young girl, she was very young. Lights were flashing in her eyes.
"Fu Bo, how could a soldier end up here lying on the road?" asked the young woman whose voice was clear and limpid. Fu Bo shook his head and said: "I'm not sure, but in our country, Mo Yue, ordinary soldiers are not that strong. Except for soldiers whose rank is lieutenant or above, the others are not considered strong on the battlefield. That person must be extremely weak which would explain why he was abandoned on the road."
"Oh." said the young girl while slightly nodding. A light flashed in her eyes and she said: "Take him with us in the carriage."
"Miss, this is not appropriate." said Fu Bo who was surprised.
"It doesn't matter, Fu Bo." said the young girl while ignoring him and smiling. She then talked to the man who was standing at the soldiers side and said: "Carry him over here and put him inside the carriage."
That guards glanced at Fu Bo. However, Fu Bo had no choice but to nod. The guards had no other choice but to carry the unconscious soldier into the carriage.
The carriage then slowly continued moving forwards. In the carriage, there was delicate young woman and young girl who was about ten years old. She was also very pretty.
"Zi Ling, why did you bring a stranger into the carriage?" asked the young woman. She was curiously looking at the young soldier lying down in the carriage. She could help but frown.
"Zi Yi, big sister, look, he looks so young, can you guess his age?" said the young beautiful little girl as if she hadn't heard the original question. She looked very curious as well.
Zi Ling glanced at Zi Yi and slightly shook her head. She then looked at the lying young man and frowned. Suddenly, she looked perplexed.
"What a delicate and handsome young man." thought Zi Yi while sighing. Even though that young man was unconscious, his face was delicate, he had dashing eyebrows and his cheeks looked extremely delicate. His entire body was covered with dust from the road.
That young man didn't look like a soldier, why was he wearing armor?
"Zi Yi, sister, that young man and you seem to be the same age. He's very handsome. You would be a perfect couple." said Zi Ling.
"Don't talk nonsense." said Zi Yi.
"Zi Yi, sister, I'm just joking, I know that your husband would have to be stronger than you. You have already broken through to the third Ling Qi layer, you're a genius. He's very young and he's a soldier, how could he be stronger than you?" said Zi Ling while smiling. Zi Yi was just shaking her head.
"Zi Ling, instead of talking about me, you should be talking about your cultivation, especially your sword skills."
"Hee hee." laughed Zi Ling.
Zi Ling then said: "Zi Yi, sister, why does Zi Qiong suddenly want to get married? I didn't think that he had a girl he liked."
When Zi Yi heard Zi Ling, she frowned and immediately said: "The day of the offerings for the gods and ancestors is approaching. Zi Qiong needs to be married to gain access to the forbidden area. Therefore, his wedding is a very normal thing. Concerning the girl, I heard that they've only known each other for a few days. Otherwise, I don't much more than you."
A light flashed in Zi Ling's eyes and then she shook her head as a sign that she didn't understand such complicated things.
But at that moment, the young man lying in the carriage moved his finger. Zi Ling was surprised and said: "He's awake."
Then, the young man's hand started to move. Immediately after, he opened his eyes.
The young man's eyes were big and beautiful but at that moment, his eyes revealed uncertainty.
That young man was Lin Feng.
On that day, after the conversation with Duan Xin Ye, he left her and walked for a great distance. He didn't get the impression that something was wrong with his body but suddenly, he fainted and did not know what happened after that.
He had no idea what happened. He didn't even know how many days had passed since that moment.
Zi Ling and Zi Yi were surprised when they saw Lin Feng. What a handsome young man! At that moment, his eyes were open as he laid on the floor of the carriage.
"Where am I?" asked Lin Feng while looking at the two girls. He looked perplexed.
"You're awake. My name is Zi Ling. You were lying on the road and we accidentally came across you so we took you into our carriage." said Zi Ling while blinking unceasingly. She then said: "Oh by the way, how did you faint on that road? And are you a soldier? What is your military ranking? How strong are you?" Zi Ling was unceasingly asking questions which cause Lin Feng's mind to spin. He said in a weak voice: "Is it ok if I get up first?"
"Oh, ok." said Zi Ling a bit embarrassed. Immediately after, Lin Feng, who was lying on the floor, stood up and sat down opposite the girl.
"My name is Lin Feng. I fainted because I was injured. I am just an ordinary soldier. My strength is……."
While talking, Lin Feng tried to gather some of his pure Qi but then, he suddenly looked astonished. He just had the feeling that he was empty inside and there wasn't even a trace of pure Qi.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Feng's heart was pounding. His eyes were turbulent. He remembered that he had become stronger. He should have become much stronger but at that moment, he surprisingly couldn't manage to condense any pure Qi. There wasn't any pure Qi inside of his body any longer.
"What's wrong" asked Zi Ling when she saw that Lin Feng's facial expression change so drastically. She then asked: "You were just about to tell us how strong you were?"
Lin Feng glanced at Zi Ling and immediately after, he closed his eyes. He could still clearly perceive everything around him.
Even without releasing the first layer of his Celestial Spirit, he was still able to perceive every part of his body, the muscles, the flesh and the blood vessels. He could perfectly sense everything that was happening within his body.
If Lin Feng wanted, he could perceive everything that was happening around him to a circumference of a thousand kilometres, the whole world would become an image within his mind.
"Indeed, I have become stronger and it even seems that my bones, flesh and muscles are much stronger than before."
Lin Feng opened his eyes and used one hand to violently punch the palm of his other hand. He had gained impressive strength. Even though there was no pure Qi, while considering his body's strength, he was much stronger than he was before. That meant that he now had a stronger constitution.
However, Lin Feng persistently tried to control pure Qi, but something was wrong, it seemed like there was absolutely no pure Qi within his body.
"What the hell has happened to me?" thought Lin Feng while frowning. He had become stronger but did not have any pure Qi, what was that supposed to mean?
Could it be that, after he became stronger and mastered his sword fusion, something strange happened to his body? Why would his pure Qi have run dry?
Lin Feng tried to absorb pure Qi into his body again but it would only circulate within his body, it wouldn't penetrate inside or be absorbed. It seemed like the external world and the inside of his body were completely separated. Whatever he tried, it seemed like the universe did not agree.
Lin Feng had never heard of such a condition, let alone seen it. He didn't understand what was happening to him.
Lin Feng was firmly frowning for a long time and then tried to relax. His cultivation was unlikely to have been crippled.
Maybe it was something good, maybe he had entered an unknown path on the road to cultivation.
While thinking that, Lin Feng felt a bit relieved. At that moment, there was no amazing energy inside of him but it wasn't a bad thing. He still had the Qi that an ordinary person who did not practice cultivation would have. He even looked even more handsome.
"Why are you not talking?" asked Zi Ling while looking at Lin Feng after seeing that his facial expression didn't stop changing while he remained silent.
Lin Feng raised his head and looked at Zi Ling, he then said: "It seems like I have no strength at all."
"No strength?" sighed Zi Ling surprised. She had a strange expression on her face.
"A piece of trash then?" said Zi Yi straightforwardly. She frowned. A person who had no strength was obviously a piece of trash. In the continent, nobody could gain a high place within society if they weren't strong. They would systematically thrown aside even if they were handsome.
At that moment, she looked at Lin Feng with disdain.

When Lin Feng heard the expression "piece of trash", he raised his head and saw that both girls were looking at him with different looks than before, it made him feel exasperated.
In the world of cultivation, those who were not strong would only be thrown away. However, some people, even though they thought that way, didn't show what they thought to other people, which was much better than how Zi Yi was behaving.
"Zi Ling, let's kick him out of the carriage." said Zi Yi in a cold and detached way. She sounded calm and unscrupulous. At that moment, she only thought about the fact that the person she was looking at was a piece of trash, even though he was handsome.
"Are you not a soldier? How come you don't practice cultivation? Haven't you at least, broken through to the Qi layer?" asked Zi Ling while looking at Lin Feng. She was looking at him with a strange look.
"I was injured and now it seems like I don't have the slightest bit of strength." said Lin Feng while shaking his head. He wasn't going to get angry because of Zi Yi's words. Lin Feng had just gone through war. He had gone through a great deal of horrible things and seen oceans of blood flowing on the battlefield. His heart had matured and he realized that his previous actions were childish. His temperament had evolved, it would now be difficult for him to be affected by the words of others.
"Oh." said Zi Ling while nodding. She was looking at Lin Feng while looking pensive as if she was thinking about a solution for Lin Feng.
"Zi Ling, if the people of the mountain village know that we have a piece of trash inside the carriage, they will make fun of us and laugh, let's kick him out, ok?" said Zi Yi again. She really had no manners, talking about Lin Feng to his face. A piece of trash was nothing to them, so she didn't need to speak in a tactful way, even if he felt humiliated, it did not matter.
"Zi Yi, sister, meeting him was fate, there is no need to be so heartless and cruel." said Zi Ling while shaking her head and then said: "Lin Feng, I will allow you to act as my servant. You will be under my care and you can enter our mountain village."
"Servant?" Lin Feng was astonished. Become her slave?
In his heart, he was smiling wryly, he wouldn't have thought that he would be forced into servitude like that but he was still within the borders of Mo Yue while unable to absorb pure Qi. He had no cultivation. If he ventured alone, he would probably encounter a dangerous situation, therefore, it was better for him to act as a servant.
If he regained his strength, who would dare treat him like a servant?
Lin Feng slightly nodded and didn't express his opinion.
"Very good, then it is settled." said Zi Ling while smiling. Zi Yi remained silent while shaking her head.
The Zi Wei Mountain Village was surrounded by mountains. It was a quiet and beautiful place. It was situated in the north of Mo Yue. It was a place of great influence and it belonged to the Zi Clan.
It was said that the strongest cultivator of the Zi Clan was at the Xuan Qi layer. Besides, the Zi Clan was extremely old, even older than the Mo Yue Country. However, as time passed, its influenced declined.
Zi Ling was the eldest daughter of the Zi Wei Mountain Village Clan. Zi Yi had been adopted and raised by Zi Ling's father. Therefore, in the Zi Wei Mountain Village, Zi Ling had more authority than Zi Yi which is why even though Zi Yi wanted to make Lin Feng leave the carriage, if Zi Ling didn't accept, Zi Yi had no choice but to accept it.
The Zi Wei Mountain Village was extremely vast. The place where Zi Ling lived was picturesque, clear water and green gardens. It was surrounded by a huge garden and emerald bamboo trees. It looked particularly peaceful.
At this moment, Lin Feng was holding a broom and was sweeping the courtyard of the garden. However, he wasn't paying attention to the ground at all, he was lost in his own thoughts.
He was able to sense the pure Qi of heaven and earth, his perception was even clearer and more distinct than before but he was still unable to absorb it and make it penetrate his body. That strange condition was troubling him so much that his heart started to race as he thought about it.
A single leaf was floating on the wind. Lin Feng looked at that leaf and could distinctly perceive where it was going and where it would land on the ground.
Lin Feng grabbed the broom with his left hand and raised his right hand, like a sword, he moved it towards the leaf in an attempt to cut it. Even though there was no pure Qi and no sword energy, his hand still moved like a sword with incredible strength.
However, when Lin Feng's hand got close to the leaf, it just moved away and continued floating through the air. He couldn't touch it and couldn't catch it. It would move away from him every time. Lin Feng could only slice through the air, but not cut the leaf.
"I cannot cut it!" Lin Feng was a bit surprised. The leaf fell onto the ground. A tree leaf was simple but Lin Feng couldn't touch it. Even though the position of the leaf was perfectly clear in his mind, he was unable to predict its next movements. If he tried to touch the leaf, its trajectory would change.
If Lin Feng could control pure Qi, it would have been very easy for him to cut a leaf but at that moment, even though his hand was still like a sword, he was unable to cut the leaf.
"Even though I am fused with my sword, it seems that it's not enough as if something is missing." whispered Lin Feng. Even though he was, indeed, stronger than before, Lin Feng had the impression he was in front of a locked door and was only single step away from unlocking it.
He was in a complex situation and if he didn't take the next step, he wouldn't be able to absorb pure Qi.
"I remember on the day when I became stronger, my bones had been broken, my internal organs were severely wounded, my determination had allowed me to make battle energy, sword energy, and ice energy fuse altogether. Like that, I had transformed into a sharp sword, what I was thinking about at that moment was my sword more than the energy attack, I had managed to carry out sword fusion. My determination is what played the decisive role in me becoming stronger." whispered Lin Feng trying to recall the moment when he gained his strength.
"I managed to carry out my sword fusion by relying on my spirit, on the first layer of my celestial spirit. It helped become physically stronger and become more aware of the world surrounding me. My spirit enabled me to understand my sword in a much greater detail and allowed me to fuse with my sword. It seems like amongst all the things I understood, there is something that I am missing, as if I do not yet have the requirements to use my current strength." thought Lin Feng while his heart was pounding as if he had just received a glimpse of enlightenment. His spirit was extremely strong and had enabled him to become stronger and reach this unique situation. However, it seemed like that without using the power of his spirit, he wasn't strong enough to use the power. Therefore, because of his special condition, he was unable to absorb pure Qi.
"I use battle energy, ice energy, sword energy, and fuse them together as a sword. It's not battle energy and it's not ice energy."
"Even though it is a leaf, it follows the force of the wind without being cut, could I make the energy of heaven and earth fuse with the leaf?" Lin Feng was holding the broom and was lost in thought. He was standing in the huge garden facing the bamboo forest while remaining completely motionless.
A middle-aged man and Zi Yi stopped walking when they saw Lin Feng in the garden.
"Father, this is the piece of trash that we came across last time. Zi Ling insisted on him coming to the village mountain, to let him take care of the garden and let him live here." explained Zi Yi to the middle-aged man while looking at Lin Feng.
At that moment, the middle-aged man was fixedly staring at Lin Feng looking pensive.
"Father, don't you want to kick him out?" said Zi Yi when she saw that the middle-aged man remained silent.
"Stop talking." said the middle-aged man while staring at Lin Feng. Lin Feng was standing there remaining motionless but dust was flowing around him as if there was a vortex created around Lin Feng.
It was very subtle, it was impossible to notice it without paying extreme attention.
Zi Yi glanced at Lin Feng and didn't know what her father was looking at. Her eyes were filled with disdain and then she didn't look at Lin Feng again, a piece of trash wasn't worth her attention.
"Father, I'm going to call Zi Ling." said Zi Yi to the middle-aged man. Her father ignored her. She shook her head and moved towards the house in the middle of the garden.
After she left, something strange happened. The vortex surrounding Lin Feng was becoming faster and more violent. Besides, Lin Feng had a marvelous expression on his face. At that moment, Lin Feng, seemed to be fusing with heaven and earth. The middle-aged man was amazed.

"How strange." whispered the middle-aged man. At that moment, Lin Feng was giving him an extraordinary impression.
When looking at Lin Feng's back, he had the feeling he was looking at a celestial being, Lin Feng made his heartbeat race. Was Lin Feng really the person Zi Yi was talking about?
"Has he come to the Zi Wei Mountain Village to become a servant or is it because he doesn't care about what we think of him and seeks to advance his cultivation?" thought the middle-aged man. On the continent, it wasn't uncommon for disciples belonging to powerful clans to practice cultivation on a journey. Some of them went to war and gained experience on the battlefield while others degraded themselves to become slaves to test their determination, to change their state of mind. The middle-aged man thought that Lin Feng probably belonged to the second category.
Otherwise, that young man would unlikely be standing there while controlling the Qi of heaven and earth. How could he become a servant and clean the garden in a small mountain village?
The middle-aged man took a step and then started walking slowly towards Lin Feng. However, he was walking very carefully trying not to make any sound, he was afraid that he would interrupt Lin Feng.
At that moment, Lin Feng's state of mind was as limpid as water. He was absolutely lost in his thoughts not paying attention to his surroundings.
"On that day, when I reached my current state, around my body was battle energy, ice energy and sword energy… before I made all the energy fuse together. Why did it become sword energy, why didn't it become ice energy or battle energy?" Lin Feng kept asking himself thousands of questions.
"A sword can have sword force, a blade can have blade force, a sword can be used to carry out an energy attack just like a blade. When a cultivator masters the sword, they can fuse with their sword, when they master the blade, they can fuse together with their blade: well, what about the other types of energy?"
"For example, a moment ago, the leaf was floating on the wind, however a leaf has leaf force; when the wind controlling the leaf has wind force. Force is present in all things and can be used for energy attacks and fused. Swords and blades are not the only things which produce force, it should be possible to fuse with all of the ten thousand things of creation." Lin Feng felt like he had realized something. He suddenly gained enlightenment.
Lin Feng raised his hand in the air and slashed it though the air, like a shadow, his movement was invisible. Suddenly, a leaf was cut into hundreds of pieces which floated through the air.
Even though Lin Feng was closing his eyes, he had a feeling of absolute control, as if he could control everything around him. He had the same feeling as when he was using his spirit, but it was different to some extent.
When he used his spirit, his entire world became darkness but at that moment, it seemed like he had fused together with the earth. He could clearly perceive everything that was happening around him.
In the manuals of cultivation, it was said that cultivation depended on your awareness level and your advancement. As far as awareness is concerned, if you wanted to open the door which lead to the truth of the universe, first, you had to become one with the earth.
"Become one with the earth!" thought Lin Feng. He opened his eyes and a faint smile appeared on his face. He wasn't overjoyed and didn't look arrogant either. At that moment, Lin Feng looked ordinary yet magnificent.
He had reached another dimension of cultivation, which was in perfect harmony with his path of cultivation.
Lin Feng turned around and looked at the middle-aged man who wasn't standing very far from him, Lin Feng smiled at him. That smile made the middle-aged man feel unworthy.
"Young cultivator!" said the middle-aged man. His voice was filled with respect.
Lin Feng looked at the middle-aged man and nodded as a sign of politeness.
"Young cultivator, my daughters are extremely rash and immature. I, Zi Nan, have come here to apologize. I hope that you can forgive my daughters." said the middle-aged man while slightly bowing. How could his daughters call this young man a nobody? Even though his adopted daughter had talent, her behaviour was unacceptable in front of such a talented young man.
"My name is Lin Feng. I do not blame them, but the world we live in. Coming to this village was my own decision." replied Lin Feng indifferently. For having been able to penetrate into the dimension earth fusion, Lin Feng should be thankful to Zi Ling and Zi Yi for having brought him to the Zi Wei Mountain Village. He was a servant there for a few days, while sweeping the garden, his heart felt peaceful and serene. He could calmly occupy himself with his current cultivation problems which enabled him to break through the final barrier.
If Zi Ling hadn't picked him up on the roadside, Lin Feng didn't know what might have happened.
Penetrating into the earth fusion dimension was an extremely rare thing. If Lin Feng had really penetrated into it, it was by relying on luck.
When Zi Nan heard Lin Feng, he was sure that he had guessed correctly. Lin Feng was certainly the disciple of a powerful clan who had left home to practice cultivation. There was absolutely no doubt about it.
"Is there a cultivation room in the village? If you have one, please let me use it." Said Lin Feng.
"Of course." immediately replied Zi Nan and then added: "Young cultivator, please follow me."
While talking, the middle-aged man started walking and leading the way. He and Lin Feng was walking towards the bamboo forest. It was a very mysterious place. The pure Qi of heaven and earth was in a dense fog floating above the ground. The Qi was very thick and powerful here.
Zi Nan said: "Young cultivator, this is the best cultivation location of the Zi Wei Mountain which is why we built the village here. Young cultivator, you can immediately go inside. Besides, there are many purity stones inside, you can use however many you need."
Zi Nan was very generous. Having the opportunity to get acquainted with a such a rare young genius was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Lin Feng slightly nodded and went into the room. The pure Qi of heaven and earth condensed into a white fog. Lin Feng wouldn't have thought that a place like Zi Wei would have such a great place for cultivation.
When Lin Feng arrived inside, he saw a myriad of purity stones on the ground. He sat crossed-legged and entered into a tranquil state of mind. Suddenly, Lin Feng fused with the earth and a colossal amount of pure Qi started penetrating into his body at a shocking speed.
With eagerness, Lin Feng absorbed as much of the pure Qi that was rushing into him as possible.
Lin Feng didn't spend too much time in the cultivation room, one hour later, he left the room. When he came out, Zi Nan was sitting on the ground waiting for Lin Feng.
"Young cultivator." said Zi Nan while standing up. He had a smile on his face. At that moment, there was nothing strange about Lin Feng as if he was the exact same person that entered the room. However, Lin Feng was shrouded in mystery.
"Let's go." said Lin Feng. The two of them left and went back towards the garden.
Zi Yi and Zi Ling were looking for their father everywhere. At that moment, by coincidence, they turned around and saw their father. When they saw that he was with Lin Feng, they couldn't help but be surprised.
Zi Yi shouted: "Father! Zi Ling and I have been looking for you everywhere!"
"Dad, we are getting ready to leave." said Zi Ling while smiling. She then looking at Lin Feng and said: "Lin Feng, you can tidy this place and then make preparations for our departure."
"How dare you!" shouted Zi Nan. Zi Ling was slightly surprised. She then saw that Zi Nan was staring at her and was about to add something, but Lin Feng spoke first: "Miss, where are you going?"
"Our clan also controls the government of the Zi Wei. In a few days, the young master Zi Qiong will get married and because we are related, we obviously have to go and congratulate him. This is why I asked Zi Ling and Zi Yi to prepare to leave for the Zi Government." replied Zi Nan before either of the girls could respond. Lin Feng nodded to indicate that he understood. Lin Feng understood that the young master of their clan was going to get married and they had to go pay respects.
"Daddy, we've heard that Zi Qiong's wife is very beautiful, much more beautiful than all the women in the clan. Besides, she's from Xue Yue. I also heard that she did not want to marry him, is this really true?" said Zi Ling while shaking her head. Her eyes were filled with curiosity while looking towards Zi Nan.
"Don't talk nonsense!" said Zi Nan while frowning. Immediately after, he said in a low voice: "There are some rumors which say that the beautiful woman is the princess of Xue Yue, but it is not confirmed, we cannot talk about this on the outside."
"Oh, I see." said Zi Ling while blinking.
As far as Lin Feng was concerned, he was shaking.
The princess of Xue Yue?
Lin Feng knew that there was only one princess in Xue Yue and that was Duan Xin Ye!
"Could it be her?" Lin Feng frowned. On that day, Lin Feng had stormed away from Duan Xin Ye and didn't know what had happened to her. Besides, from what Zi Nan was saying, that woman was the princess of Xue Yue. She was beautiful and besides, it seemed like she was being forced into the marriage. The chances of her being Duan Xin Ye were high.
"Master, I will come with you." said Lin Feng to Zi Nan. Zi Nan was surprised. He looked at Lin Feng with a serious look, he was obviously not going to refuse.
"Could it be that you want to go because you heard that the woman was very beautiful? Is it why you are so impatient to leave?" said Zi Yi with a smile on her face while looking at Lin Feng before adding: "But the future husband is Zi Qiong, you are only a servant. Your social status is way too low. Don't even have such thoughts or you might die, the best thing you can do is continue your life as a lowly servant."
"Shut up!" shouted Zi Nan and immediately looked at Lin Feng: "Lin Feng, young cultivator, if you want to go then you can take my place. I hope that you will look after my two girls until they arrive."

Zi Nan's logic was simple. He was hoping that, by spending some time alone with his girls, Lin Feng would get along with them.
Zi Ling was a few years younger than Lin Feng. Zi Yi and Lin Feng were about the same age. Even though they couldn't be considered as very beautiful, they were cute, besides, they were quite strong. If Lin Feng could get along with them, that would be a nice thing.
Of course, even if he didn't manage to get along with them, he could still ensure their protection, what could he have against them travelling together?
However, at that moment, Zi Yi and Zi Ling were surprised. They were looking at their father, Zi Nan, in a strange way, their father was calling Lin Feng "Young Cultivator"?
"Dad, what did you call him?" asked Zi Ling who was very surprised. Usually, her father almost never scolded her and at that moment, he had already scolded her twice because of Lin Feng.
"Zi Ling, Zi Yi, your behaviour is inadmissible. Lin Feng's cultivation level is much more advanced than yours. The fact that he is patient and accommodating with you is just due to his kind and magnanimous personality. You just don't know how to distinguish good from bad. Daring to treat him as a servant, you are really shameless." Zi Nan scolded his two daughters again. His words were profound and meaningful.
He then said: "This time, I will let Lin Feng go with you, you two should ask Lin Feng for advice and listen to what he tells you. You should make sure to stay friendly with him."
"His cultivation level is much more advanced than ours?" said Zi Ling while staring at Lin Feng. She was extremely curious. She then said: "Father, are really not mistaken?"
"Father, you shouldn't trust him. He is a nobody." said Zi Yi who didn't believe her father's words. She was a genius and had already broken through to the third Ling Qi layer. Besides, she was about the same age as Lin Feng so it was impossible for him to be stronger than her.
"Shut up! How dare you doubt my words!" shouted Zi Nan who had no alternative but to shout. He then continued: "Hurry up and go pack your things, get ready to leave!"
"Hmph!" Zi Yi poked out her tongue and immediately dragged Zi Ling to leave.
While looking at the two girls leave, Zi Nan shook his head and he then looked at Lin Feng with a wry smile on his face: "Young cultivator, my daughters are naughty and mischievous, I hope that you will not take offense."
Lin Feng slightly smiled and shook his head indicating that he wasn't offended. Zi Nan didn't seem to feel at ease. Could it be that Lin Feng's cultivation level is so high that he does not care about status and doesn't care about the words of normal people?
Zi Ling and Zi Yi just packed a few clothes and the necessities of travel.
Outside of the Zi Wei Mountain Village, Zi Ling, Zi Yi and Lin Feng were riding on three Qian Li Xue horses. As Zi Nan had said, only the three of them were going to the Zi Government.
Initially, he thought he had to go to pay his respects but then he thought that the people of Zi Government would understand if they saw a talented young cultivator with his two daughters.
"Lin Feng, young cultivator, I must inconvenience you to look after my two girls." said Zi Nan in a low voice. Lin Feng slightly nodded and said: "I will ensure their safety until we arrive at the Zi Government."
Lin Feng didn't mention anything about a return journey and Zi Nan noticed, but he said nothing. He just nodded. If Lin Feng got along with his daughters on the journey, he would come back with them, if he didn't get along with them, he wouldn't.
"Daddy, Zi Yi and I are together, could anything bad happen? We're going now." said Zi Ling while turning her head around. Immediately after, the horses started galloping.
Zi Yi and Lin Feng were in the front, Zi Ling was behind them.
"Lin Feng, what did you tell my father for him to trust you so much?" asked Zi Yi while galloping right next to Lin Feng.
"I didn't say anything." said Lin Feng indifferently. He didn't even glance at her which made Zi Yi groan coldly.
"Sister, I can see that daddy thinks highly of him, he's trying to make you guys into a couple." said Zi Ling from behind while smiling.
"I will not get married to a piece of trash." said Zi Yi while whipping her horse to move ahead of Lin Feng.
Lin Feng, as before, looked calm and indifferent. At that moment, he was still wondering if the woman who was going to marry Zi Qiong was really Duan Xin Ye.
The Zi Wei Village Mountain was a two day journey from the Zi Government and Zi Qiong's wedding ceremony was taking place in three days.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!"
Lightning illuminated the entire atmosphere as it started raining heavily. The road of the Golden Zi Mountain was becoming wet and muddy.
The Zi Government was situated on the Golden Zi Mountain which was part of a chain of mountains.
At that moment, at the foot of the Golden Zi Mountain, there was a thatched hut. The three people on their Qian Li Xue horses rushed over to the hut, jumped off their horses and rushed into the thatched hut which turned out to be very spacious.
"That damned weather! We arrive at the foot of the mountain and it starts raining heavily. Initially, we should have been able to arrive at the Zi Government and would have been able to sleep in comfortable beds before the wedding." cursed Zi Yi who was wet from head to foot. Her clothes were sticking close to her skin which revealed her already developed figure. One could clearly see her alluring figure.
At that moment, Zi Yi suddenly had the impression that she was being observed. She frowned and looked inside the thatched hut. Three people were sitting on the ground. These people, when they saw her enter, started staring at her in an evil way.
At that moment, Zi Ling and Lin Feng entered the room as well. They were, just like Zi Yi, completely soaked. Besides, Lin Feng was wearing a silver mask to cover his face.
Zi Ling was feeling cold and remained silent. When she saw the evil expression on the face of the three people, she felt a bit scared.
Zi Yi also noticed that these three people were staring at them. She coldly looked at them and even released some cold Qi. These people were certainly not good people.
But she remained vigilant, after all, they were not in the Zi Wei Village Mountain anymore and had to be careful. She dragged Zi Ling to the other side of the hut and sat down.
Lin Feng picked up some wood in the thatched hut and piled it up in front of Zi Yi and Zi Ling. He immediately lit a fire. That would be a good way to get dry and warm. He was unceasingly putting wood in the fire to maintain it.
These three people looked at Lin Feng who was lowering his head taking care of the fire, he seemed like he hadn't even seen these three people.
"So useless, I really don't understand what daddy was thinking when he decided not to come and to let that piece of trash come with us." said Zi Yi thinking that Lin Feng could do nothing but simple chores. Instead of thanking him for tending the fire, she was just making fun of him while her eyes were filled with disdain.
She had an unfavourable opinion of Lin Feng and it wasn't going to change, no matter what he did. Ultimately, she despised Lin Feng because she thought that Lin Feng was weak but if she had known that Lin Feng was stronger than her own father, how would have she reacted?
Zi Yi didn't know that all the things she said didn't affect Lin Feng because Lin Feng did not put her in his eyes and did not care about her at all. He was, of course, not going to pay attention to her words.
Of course, he also didn't have a favourable opinion of Zi Yi.
"Big brother, what do you think about these two girls?" said one of the three people while looking at Zi Yi and Zi Ling. His evil smile resonated in the area.
"I like the one who's acting coldly. Nice chest, nice bottom. She looks mature enough. It would be a real pleasure to sleep with her. I just don't know if she'll keep acting so cold while in bed."
The man looked fascinating, he was staring at Zi Yi whose clothes were completely wet. Her clothes were so wet and sticking to her skin that that her nipples were erect. That was, indeed, an alluring sight for this man.
When Zi Yi heard what the men were saying, her face turned even colder. She was staring at them and released a cold energy.
"Big brother, that one doesn't seem to be any fun, I still prefer the small one, not only is she cute but her figure is also not bad." said the one who hadn't talked yet. Lust was flashing in his eyes while staring at Zi Ling.
These three people were loudly chatting as if they had no restraint. They were staring at Zi Yi and Zi Ling like a starving man would look at food.
As far as Lin Feng was concerned, nobody paid any attention to him.
Zi Ling and Zi Yi got closer to each other. Even though they were quite aggressive, in such a situation, they were still feeling a bit scared.
"How shameless, try and speak that way again!"
Zi Yi was releasing her Qi, she stood up and looked at the three people.
"Hmm, hmmm, nice figure, we can even see the shape of her breasts."
The man who was being called "big brother" by the two others was staring at Zi Yi's body as if he was looking at a naked woman.

"Three Evil Alpacas, you really are extremely perverted, your reputation is well justified." At the moment when Zi Yi was getting angry, a cold and detached voice interrupted them. Immediately, they saw a young man wearing golden clothes enter the thatched hut.
Even though it was raining heavily outside, that young man's clothes were magnificent and completely dry. He looked clean and handsome. He was holding a fan in his hand, he looked elegant and had just come from a luxurious carriage.
"The Three Evil Alpacas…"
When Zi Yi and Zi Ling heard that name, their facial expressions immediately changed. These three bastards surprisingly were the Three Evil Alpacas. No wonder that they looked so evil. In the region surrounding the Golden Zi Mountain, these three disgusting brothers were known for their extreme perversion. They were known for cruelly and violently molesting young girls.
If Zi Yi and Zi Ling had been their target, the outcome would have been unimaginable.
"Who are you?" coldly asked the Three Evil Alpacas while looking at that young man.
"While Zi Qiong's big ceremony is close, you go out and hunt young girls right?" said the young man while raising his head and smiling coldly. He then moved towards Lin Feng's side, bent down and shook his fan above the fire grow fierce.
"You are a man too, how come you are not helping these two girls when they are being humiliated?" coldly said the young man in golden clothes to Lin Feng while smiling. He sounded arrogant and conceited.
Lin Feng raised his head and glanced at the young man. He was about as old as Lin Feng. He looked quite handsome. He seemed to come from a wealthy family. It was obvious at first glance that he was wealthy and considered everyone beneath his notice.
The young man in golden clothes was smiling warmly but looked arrogant and had a mocking attitude.
Lin Feng didn't reply to him, he continued feeding the fire. However, he didn't have a favourable opinion of that young man. If he wanted to be in the limelight, why did he need to go out of his way to humiliate Lin Feng?
"Why would you care about what the three of us are doing? If you don't want us to hurt you, it's best for you is to leave now." said the Three Evil Alpacas coldly while staring at the young man. The young man didn't even look at them. They still felt a bit wary when seeing the young man disregard them.
The young man in golden clothes glanced at them and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"The Three Evil Alpacas are vile, they are thirty years old and don't practice their cultivation. They just spend their time with young girls all day. The elder brother has broken through to the fourth Ling Qi layer while the two others brothers have broken through to the third Ling Qi layer. In their current life, all they can amount to is bandits."
The Three Evil Alpacas narrowed their eyes and evilly looked at that young man.
"By meddling in our business, your intention is to show these two pretty girls that you are hero, right?"
"Who doesn't love beautiful women? I am no exception but I also cannot ignore people in distress. Besides, if I have the opportunity to rescue some beautiful girls, of course, I will seize that opportunity." said the young man while looking at Zi Yi and Zi Ling in a charming way. He had a warm and tender smile on his face.
He slightly nodded towards them, Zi Yi and Zi Ling's hearts started beating faster. That young man was so handsome. They were wondering how strong he was.
"Since it was your decision, don't blame us for being cold-blooded." Two of the Three Evil Alpacas stood up and slowly walked towards the young man. Suddenly, a violent energy emerged from them and moved straight towards the young man.
Zi Yi and Zi Ling were staring at the two brothers and then looked at the young man to see how he was going to react.
At that moment, the third brother suddenly threw himself at Zi Ling looking like he had planned this surprise attack much earlier. He was very quickly approaching Zi Ling.
"Be careful!" said Zi Yi when she saw the third brother move towards Zi Ling and grab her. Her facial expression drastically changed. Zi Ling had only broken through to the Ling Qi Layer, she couldn't compete with the three brothers.
Besides, at that moment, Lin Feng, who was calmly sitting on the ground, raised his head. There was an extremely sharp and cold expression in his eyes. At that moment, Lin Feng raised his hand.
However, at the same time, a magnificent golden sword twinkled in the atmosphere. The light it diffused made it look like it was raining gold. It was dazzling and full of splendour.
That sword light was gorgeous. That light then suddenly enveloped the third brother's body. Immediately after, a horrible shriek spread through the atmosphere. The third brother's body fell down onto the ground. He hadn't paid attention for a brief moment and ended up being struck by the attack. A myriad of injuries, caused by the golden light, appeared on his body.
Zi Ling's eyes were wide open, she was still nervous. How dangerous.
But that sword, how gorgeous!
Zi Yi was stupefied as well. She was blankly staring at the corpse lying on the floor. It wasn't only the third brother who had fallen down onto the floor. The second brother had also collapsed and a myriad of wounds had appeared on his body.
The young man was way too quick. They hadn't even seen him attack, but two people were already dead.
"How strong! And that sword skill…" Zi Yi was looking at the young man and her eyes were filled with admiration. That young man was extraordinary and extremely strong. She adored him already.
"Golden Rain Sword, the golden rain that fills the sky… you are Lin Hao Jie!" The big brother of the Three Evil Alpacas was astonished. He also looked slightly scared.
"Lin Hao Jie, also known as Golden Rain Lin Hao Jie….surprisingly, it's him." Zi Yi and Zi Ling were surprised when they heard that name.
Lin Hao Jie was very famous in that region. Zi Qiong, of the Zi Government, was his good friend. Even though he was young, he had already broken through to the fourth Ling Qi layer. Besides, because he was a sword master, he easily killed cultivators of the fourth Ling Qi layer. Outstanding young men like him were rare.
"You taught us a good lesson, I'm off!" the big brother of the Three Evil Alpacas was shaking and rushed towards the exit of the thatched hut. He was extremely quick.
But Lin Hao Jie's sword was even faster.
The sword rain fell down and the body of the big brother collapsed before it reached the exit. He was motionless on the floor.
When Lin Hao Jie saw the body on the floor, a smile filled with satisfaction appeared on his face. He then put back his sword in it's sheathe with grace and elegance.
"Do you two beautiful girls plan to go to Golden Zi Mountain as well?" asked Lin Hao Jie while looking at Zi Yi and Zi Ling with a warm and soft smile on his face. He was looking at them in a very seductive way.
"Yes." said Zi Yi while nodding in a delicate way. Her voice was soft as well.
"Coming across each other today was fate. I am lucky to have met such beautiful girls today. However, it is now late and getting dark, the rain has stopped as well. I will not disturb you, have a good rest." said Lin Hao Jie while smiling. Immediately after, he turned around and left as elegantly and gracefully as he entered.
But when he arrived at the door, he started walking slower and said: "Considering that two beautiful girls like you are staying overnight in here, don't let useless cowards near you as they might try something."
While talking, Lin Hao Jie continued walking towards the exit. Immediately after, they heard his horse neigh, he had already left.
As far as the useless coward was concerned, Lin Hao Jie obviously meant Lin Feng.
When they saw him leave, Zi Yi and Zi Ling looked like they were disappointed.
"Zi Yi, sister, we haven't thanked him yet." Zi Ling suddenly sighed and Zi Yi slightly shook her head while saying: "Do you think that Lin Hao Jie is that kind of person who expects something like a thanks?"
"You're right." said Zi Ling while slightly nodding.
"He's a really outstanding young man. It's nothing like him, surprisingly he wears a mask because he doesn't dare let people see his fear." said Zi Yi mockingly while glancing at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng continued feeding the fire with wood and said in a cold tone: "He's not as good as you two think."
"What gives you the right to speak about other people? If he hadn't been here, some bad things could have happened to us. You think that you could have escaped unharmed? I really don't understand why our father made you come with us."
When Zi Yi heard Lin Feng criticize Lin Hao Jie, she couldn't help but be disgusted. She already had a crush on Lin Hao Jie.
"Absolutely, Lin Feng, you should be thankful to Lin Hao Jie!" said Zi Ling. Swords were also her specialty.
"I owe him nothing, he hasn't done anything for me. Besides, you owe him nothing either. He hasn't done anything which deserves gratitude." said Lin Feng as calm as always.
As far as Lin Hao Jie is concerned, maybe what he had done looked great in the eyes of the two girls, but in Lin Feng's opinion, that young man was too arrogant, he attempted to humiliate Lin Feng and considered everyone else beneath his notice. Not only that but he also thought he was better than everyone else.
"You're really hideous, Lin Hao Jie and you have the same family name but you have nothing in common. Now, get out of the hut." said Zi Yi while following what Lin Hao Jie said before he left the hut.
"If you want me to go, I don't care but I would like to warn you that things are not always as they appear. I will prove that before I leave."
Lin Feng stood up, looked at the "big brother" of the Evil Alpacas, who was lying on the floor, and said: "Hey you, how much longer are you going to play dead?"

Report chapter
Zi Yi and Zi Ling were astonished when they heard Lin Feng.
Lin Feng could talk to the dead?
But a second later, the two girls were dumbstruck. They saw that the big brother, who was lying on the floor suddenly moved and started crawling. He turned his head around and looked at Lin Feng in a cold and evil way.
The Evil Alpacas' big brother hadn't died at all. He had just been injured, nothing more. A moment before, he hadn't released the slightest bit of Qi and had been holding his breath, feigning death.
"That little boy is right. Lin Hao Jie is strong, but way too arrogant. He thinks that everything will go as he plans it. He didn't even notice that he hadn't killed me. His opinion of himself is way too high." said the big brother sounding cold and detached. He agreed with Lin Feng.
"You are lucky that I was pretending to be dead." said the big brother and then looked at Lin Feng while saying coldly: "But, Lin Hao Jie has left now. You three are now my toys, you, the little boy, I'm not interested in you, but these two girls will accompany to console me after my brothers' deaths."
Zi Yi and Zi Ling's expression changed. The big brother had broken through to the fourth Ling Qi layer. Even if he was injured, they still couldn't compete with him.
"Die boy!" said the big brother while immediately attacking. He raised his fist and his fist bombarded the atmosphere, moving straight towards Lin Feng. At that moment, Lin Feng slowly raised his hand, then rapidly pierced through the air like a meteor.
When the glow from his strike disappeared, the big brother's forehead was covered with blood. He looked at Lin Feng, his eyes were filled with resentment before he died.
Was Lin Feng really lucky that he was playing dead?
"You and Lin Hao Jie are equally as arrogant." said Lin Feng indifferently. While standing at the same place, he said slowly: "If Lin Hao Jie hadn't stepped in, nothing would have happened to you girls anyway. Therefore, you don't owe him anything. Remember that, things are not always as they seem. It's exactly the same for him, he was pretending to be dead, but was actually waiting for his opportunity." When Lin Feng finished talking, he immediately started walking towards the exit of the thatched hut. In the blink of an eye, his silhouette disappeared like a ghost.
When Zi Yi and Zi Ling saw Lin Feng disappear, they were astonished. Lin Feng had just killed the big brother, he had proved that he could protect them. Even if Lin Hao Jie hadn't attacked, nothing would have happened to them.
As far as what Lin Feng's last words, they were deep and profound. Things were not always as they seemed just like Lin Hao Jie, who was showing a certain aspect of his personality, but in the end wasn't showing his true colors. The same was true for Lin Feng. The two girls despised him, thought that he was weak. But in the end, with a simple attack, he could kill a cultivator of the fourth Ling Qi layer.
"Zi Yi sister, Lin Feng seems extremely strong." whispered Zi Ling after remaining silent for a moment while staring at the corpses on the floor.
"He's just extremely arrogant. If he was as strong as he said, a moment ago, why did he wait for Lin Hao Jie to stop them? Why didn't he take the initiative? Besides, when Lin Hao Jie was here, Lin Feng didn't dare say a word against him. Lin Hao Jie is much stronger than him and Lin Feng was clearly afraid of him. His heart is just filled with jealousy." said Zi Yi in a bad mood. She remembered Lin Hao Jie's softness and tenderness, her heart was still beating faster when thinking about that. Lin Feng certainly had nothing to do with Lin Hao Jie.
"But he just attacked once with his hand and killed a cultivator of the fourth Ling Qi layer. Besides, that resplendent glow looked like it came from a sword." said Zi Ling with lights unceasingly flashing in her eyes. She was making great efforts to try and remember Lin Feng's attack.
"It's only because the big brother was too negligent. The big brother was pretending to be dead in front of Lin Hao Jie but didn't care when in front of Lin Feng. It is obvious at a glance who is strong and who is weak. Besides, do you think that glow looked more majestic and more powerful than Lin Hao Jie's Golden Rain Sword?" said Zi Yi as stubborn as before. However, all her reasoning seemed to be flawed.
Outside of the hut, a strong wind was blowing and penetrated into the hut. The fire that Lin Feng lit went out because of the strong wind. In a flash, the thatched hut became dark and cold.
Zi Yi and Zi Ling's hearts started pounding. Immediately after, they firmly grabbed each other's hands. They realized that there was cold sweat on the palms of both of their hands.
"Zi Yi, sister, actually, if Lin Feng was here, it would be much better." said Zi Ling in a small voice. She had just realized that she had underestimated Lin Feng. Zi Yi had criticized Lin Feng for having lit a fire and they both now realized that without it, it was very cold….
"Zi Ling, we can go up the mountain tonight." said Zi Yi surprising Zi Ling. Zi Yi then continued: "Lin Hao Jie is also going up now, isn't he? If we leave now, we may have a chance of catching up with him."
"What about Lin Feng?"
"What, do you care about him?" said Zi Yi coldly.
"Alright, let's go." said Zi Ling. Immediately after, the two girls left the hurt and immediately jumped on their Qian Li Xue horses. They immediately started galloping up the Golden Zi Mountain.
A short time after they left the hut, Lin Feng appeared on a horse and followed them.
On the top of the Golden Zi Mountain, there was a majestic palace, which was famous within that region. It was the location of the Zi Government.
In the Zi Government, there was someone who had broken through to the Xuan Qi layer. In Mo Yue and Xue Yue, people had the same opinion, a cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer could be defined as an extremely strong cultivator. Even members of the monarchy would consider them as cultivators worthy of respect. Cultivators of the Xuan Qi layer were rare.
Outside of the Zi Government Palace, there were two huge pillars which had a huge wooden board across with an inscription. The two words "Zi Government" was engraved in huge letters on this wooden board.
At that moment, Zi Yi and Zi Ling were approaching these two huge pillars. Lin Feng was calmly following them. The three of them were galloping at full speed on the mountain road, but it was pitch black outside. They had needed two hours to climb the mountain.
"We are from the Zi Wei Mountain, here are our invitation cards." said Zi Yi while taking out invitation cards and handing them over to the guards.
The guards opened the cards and saw that, they were from Zi Wei Village, they then nodded and let them pass.
The three of them entered the vast and immense palace. It was so huge that they didn't know where to go."
Zi Yi and Zi Ling, even though they were blood-related to the people of the Zi Government, had never gone there before. It was their first time. Being blood-related to the Zi Government was nothing special, the really strong and powerful family members were all disciples of the main clan.
Besides, even though people were passing them, Zi Yi and Zi Ling knew nobody. Besides, as it was still late at night, they didn't have a place to rest and had no choice but to aimlessly wander around the palace.
"Master Lin, please come this way." At that moment, in the distance, two silhouetted were speaking as they walked through the palace.
Zi Yi and Zi Ling raised their heads and looked in that direction. The person who had just been called "Master Lin" was Lin Hao Jie.
"Master Lin." shouted Zi Yi while looking at him. Her voice was filled with joy and surprise.
Lin Hao Jie looked in their direction and immediately saw Zi Yi and Zi Ling. A tender and soft smile appeared on his handsome and delicate face. He walked over to them and said: "It seems like I Lin Hao Jie, am very lucky to meet you girls again."
"Master Lin, my name is Zi Yi." said Zi Yi while pretending to be shy.
"Master Lin, is that your friend?" when the girl who was leading Lin Hao Jie saw that he knew Zi Yi, she couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, she is" replied Lin Hao Jie while nodding.
"So that's how it is, Miss Zi Yi, may I ask you where you are staying?" asked the girl, when she heard that she was Lin Hao Jie's friend. She remained polite as she was one of the maids of the palace. Lin Hao Jie was Zi Qiong's good friend and Zi Qiong was the heir to the Zi Government. Besides, Lin Hao Jie was also very strong and came from a wealthy family. Since he knew the people from the Zi Government, he was respected by the servants.
"Where….?" Zi Yi felt awkward. She saw that Zi Ling was getting angry and said: "We are related to the Zi Government, we are from the Zi Wei Mountain Village. We have come to pay our respects to Zi Qiong. We don't know where exactly we're going to stay yet."
"Zi Wei Mountain Village." whispered the maid. Immediately after, she smiled as if she understood. She said: "Since you are friends of Lin Hao Jie, I will help you with your accommodation issue."
If they had just come to pay respects to Zi Qiong, the maid wouldn't have helped them find accommodation. The three of them had arrived so late in the night. Whether they were blood-related to the Zi Government or not didn't matter.
Besides, she had also ignored the fact that they were from the Zi Wei Mountain Village. That didn't give them a high status. Them being friends with Lin Hao Jie was much more important than them being from the Zi Wei Mountain Village, it granted them a much higher status. She also had to give Lin Hao Jie face and help his friends.
"No need. Tomorrow is the big wedding ceremony, which we will both be attending. There is space in my room. I would have nothing against letting two beautiful girls sleep in my room tonight." said Lin Hao Jie with a big smile on his face. He, once again, ignored Lin Feng.

"It is not very convenient." said Zi Yi in a soft voice. She didn't sound like she was refusing, it sounded more like she wanted to accept his offer. Lin Hao Jie was surprised. When he saw that she was acting shy, a smile appeared on his face.
"If Miss Zi Yi doesn't like it or has doubts in regard to my personality, I can also give you the entire mansion and I will spend the night outside. That is absolutely no problem." said Mo Hao Jie sounding righteous and awe-inspiring.
"No, of course not, what you proposed is perfect." hastily replied Zi Yi. Zi Ling and Lin Feng were stupefied. But Lin Hao Jie immediately smiled and said: "So I understand that you're accepting my offer."
"If it is too inconvenient for you, please tell me." said Zi Yi while lowering her head in a shy fashion.
"What are you talking about? It is a great pleasure for me." said Lin Hao Jie while smiling.
"Zi Yi, sister, how could accept to spend the night in a stranger's room?" said Zi Ling in a low voice while firmly shaking her sister's hand.
"Zi Ling, young men like Master Lin are rare. Do you think that he is not trustworthy? Let's go together!" said Zi Yi.
"Ignorant!" said a cold and detached voice. It came from Lin Feng.
At that moment, Lin Feng was looking at Lin Hao Jie, he said in a cold and detached way: "At the foot of the mountain, you said that they shouldn't let me stay in the thatched hut because I might try something and now you're inviting them to go to your place? Don't you think that you might try something? Isn't that what outstanding and handsome young men of high status do?"
Lin Hao Jie was stupefied. He coldly looked at Lin Feng. Immediately after, he smiled and said: "Could it be that you think that you could be compared with the likes of me?"
"Ridiculous." said Lin Feng. "As if having a high social status could give you the right to mislead young girls."
"Hmph!" Lin Hao Jie groaned coldly. He looked at Zi Yi and said: "Miss Zi Yi, since that is the case, you can forget my offer, goodbye!" When he finished talking, Lin Hao Jie started to leave.
"Master Lin, wait, wait!" shouted Zi Yi while running after him. She said: "I obviously don't agree with him!"
Zi Yi turned her head around and coldly looked at Lin Feng. She then immediately said to Zi Ling: "Sister, let's go together!"
"I'm not going." said Zi Ling while shaking her head.
"Alright. Then be careful that he does not try anything." replied Zi Yi while looking at Lin Feng and then ran after Lin Hao Jie.
Lin Feng looked at Zi Yi's disappearing silhouette. He was exasperated. He had warned her over and over again, but since Zi Yi was stubborn, Lin Feng had no other solution. He was also done with the task which Zi Nan had given. He promised to make sure the girls would be safe until they reached the Zi Governmental Palace.
"Why are you not going with her?" asked Lin Feng.
"Maybe you are right. Things are not always as they appear to be. Even though Lin Hao Jie is handsome, extraordinary and very strong, he might be very hypocritical." said Zi Ling in a low voice while pouting and gazing into the distance.
"Well then, are you not going to listen to your sister's words and be careful of me?" asked Lin Feng while slightly laughing. Lin Hao Jie was, indeed, very hypocritical.
Zi Ling turned her head and looked at Lin Feng. She chuckled and said: "But if you meant us harm, you had an opportunity down there in the thatched hut, why would you wait for us to arrive at the Zi Government palace?"
Lin Feng was surprised by her pure smile. The corner of her mouth had curved into a gentle smile. Things were not always as they appeared, especially when it came to her. She had a cold and standoffish personality which actually hid a soft and innocent heart. Her smile was quite marvelous to behold.
Even though it was a simple invitation, Zi Yi was really too innocent and naïve, she didn't understand that it was a trap.
"But don't misunderstand me, even though you are not that weak, I, Zi Ling, will only marry with an extremely strong sword cultivator. I will never be interested in someone like you." said Zi Ling while laughing. Immediately after, she started walking away to find a place to rest.
"Sword cultivator?" thought Lin Feng. He smiled and shook his head. He then followed her.
In another part of the palace, in a manor, someone was knocking at a door.
"Come in." said Zi Yi from inside the room. Immediately after, the door of the room opened and Lin Hao Jie was in the doorway.
"Miss Zi Yi, can I come in?" said Lin Hao Jie while waiting outside of the room.
"Of course you can. Please come in, Master Lin." replied Zi Yi.
Lin Hao Jie was firmly staring at Zi Yi. He noticed that her clothes hadn't dried off. He could see her delicate young body through her clothes which gave birth to flames of desire in his heart.
"Zi Yi, you're really beautiful." said Lin Hao Jie softly.
Zi Yi slightly lowered her head, remaining silent for a second out of shyness. Then, her lips moved: "I'm not."
"You are, you are beautiful from head to toe." said Lin Hao Jie in a soft voice and then continued: "Zi Yi, since the first time when we met in the thatched hut, I feel my head gets light whenever I see you, I feel like we are perfect for each other. I wouldn't have thought that we would meet again so quickly."
Zi Yi remained silent and lowered her head. Her face slightly turned red.
"Zi Yi, why are you not talking? If you think that I am playing some game, I can leave now." said Lin Hao Jie. Zi Yi immediately raised her head and didn't stop shaking her head. At that moment, Lin Hao Jie had already arrived at her side. They were now every close.
"Zi Yi!" Lin Hao Jie's voice was filled with softness and tenderness.
"Hm!"
Zi Yi's face was becoming redder and redder. She was looking at Lin Hao Jie, her eyes revealed that she had some feelings for him.
She hadn't thought that everything would happen so quickly, but Lin Hao Jie was her perfect husband, he was outstanding, had a high social status and had high natural talent. Men like him were rare. He was interested in Zi Yi, an adopted girl from the Zi Wei Mountain. With his high status, it was obviously a once in a lifetime opportunity for her. Besides, she had feelings for him so she couldn't just reject him, even if they hadn't known each other for a long time.
"Would you like to become my wife in the future? I want to keep you by my side forever." said Lin Hao Jie in a soft and tender voice while getting even closer to her.
Zi Yi's heart was pounding, her face was red; but she was happy, it was so sudden though.
"Yes!" said Zi Yi while slightly nodding. Immediately after, she just felt two big hands embrace her. While hugging her, Lin Hao Jie became even more enthusiastic, he immediately started kissing her.
Zi Yi was shaking, she had the sensation that she had been struck by a lightning. She could feel Lin Hao Jie's warmth, immediately after, she also put her hands around him and kissed him back.
Lin Hao Jie then started touching her body, a short time after, he started caressing her young body, which was soft and warm. Zi Yi started feeling restless and let out a small moan.
The two of them threw themselves onto the bed. They threw their clothes to the side, after a short time, they were moaning from pain, pleasure and heat. Their bodies were in fusion in the middle of that room.
In the sky, the sun had started to rise, the Zi Government was starting to get lively. On that day, Zi Qiong's wedding ceremony was going to happen.
There were two silhouettes sitting on the edge of a cliff watching the sunrise. They were sitting on the overhanging cliff with their legs above the precipice. They were gazing into the distance and looking at the sunrise. It looked particularly beautiful.
"How beautiful!" said Zi Ling amazed at such a wonderful scenery. It was a glowing red above the sea of clouds.
"It's very beautiful indeed." replied Lin Feng. In his previous life, it was one of Lin Feng's dreams to watch the sunrise from the top of a mountain. At that moment, that dream had come true. He finally knew what it felt like to appreciate such natural beauty.
Besides, as he was able to use earth fusion, his perception was much stronger than that of Zi Ling. It was as if the beauty of watching that sunrise was enhanced.
"I would have never thought that the first time I would watch the sunrise would be with you on my side. Too bad that you are not the kind of man that I am looking for." said Zi Ling while laughing. She immediately stood up and said: "Let's go back. Daddy said that Zi Qiong's future spouse is the most beautiful in the region, today, I want to see if the rumors are true."
Lin Feng stood up as well with a strange expression on his face. He wanted to see the bride, but not because he wanted to see if she was beautiful or not, but because he wanted to see if it was Duan Xin Ye.
If it was really Duan Xin Ye, how could she get married to Zi Qiong? What if the rumors were true though? If that was the case, what would Lin Feng do….?

In the Zi Government area, in a mansion filled with golden decorations, only one floor was illuminated with a purple light.
On the top of the mountain, there was a huge palace, which seemed like it had been entirely transformed. There was one corridor inside which was extremely spacious and much higher than the others.
At that moment, at the front end of the long covered corridor in the palace, there was a huge Golden Zi statue which looked majestic. That was the statue of the ancestors of the Zi Government. This was a statue, which meant something to all the people who were blood-related to the Zi Government. They had to bow to the ancestors as a sign of respect. Behind the statue was the forbidden area of the palace, which was a huge stone door. Only those who were blood related Zi Government would be allowed into this area.
In the central district of the mountain, many people were walking towards that palace. The huge statue and the vast palace were there to welcome them.
In normal times, the forbidden area was always closed off, they couldn't gain access no matter what their status.
At that moment, a group of people were walking down the long covered corridor and arrived in front of the statue. They knelt three times and kowtowed nine times in front of the statue and immediately after, lined up at the side of the statue.
The silhouettes were getting more and more numerous. They were almost all blood-related to the Zi Government, but there were some who were friends of the Zi Government as well. The ceremony was a major event. However, the people related to the Zi Government and those unrelated were different. Those who were blood-related had to carry out the sacrificial rite before they could enter the forbidden area. They couldn't be interrupted, so very few people would bring outsiders.
At that moment, Zi Ling and Ling Feng had also arrived. Lin Feng was still wearing a silver mask and Zi Ling didn't understand why.
"Zi Yi has arrived." Zi Ling was looking at the distance and saw Zi Yi and Lin Hao Jie arrive together. A short moment after, they arrived next to Zi Ling.
"Zi Ling, how come you are still hanging out with the likes of him?" said Zi Yi coldly while frowning.
Lin Feng looked at Zi Yi and used his earth fusion. His senses became extremely acute. He could clearly perceive that there something different about Zi Yi.
Zi Yi had lost her innocence!
"What an ignorant girl!"
Lin Feng was shaking his head. Lin Hao Jie and Zi Yi had known each other for less than a day and Zi Yi had offered herself to Lin Hao Jie. Lin Feng didn't know what to say, but since it was Zi Yi's own will, he also could not interfere. He had already fulfilled his duty, he gave her advice and protected her on the journey.
Maybe Zi Yi really thought that she and Lin Hao Jie were going to be together forever.
"Sister." said Zi Ling while pouting. "We came with Lin Feng, we obviously have to stay with him."
"Zi Ling, you shouldn't trust such an ignorant and evil person. He is tricking you. How did he treat you yesterday evening?"
Zi Yi's tone was more imposing and more domineering than before, she also sounded slightly arrogant. When Lin Feng noticed that, he felt even more exasperated.
Before, Zi Yi used to be docile when facing Zi Ling, after all, she was an adopted daughter. But at that moment, she sounded like she was talking down to Zi Ling. Maybe she thought that because she was in a relationship with Lin Hao Jie, her social status was now higher than Zi Ling's.
"Sister, what are you saying?" Zi Ling was speechless.
Then, Lin Feng coldly groaned and said in a cold tone: "Zi Ling, Zi Yi, your father assigned me to bring you to the Zi Government and ensure your safety. I have now fulfilled my duty. From this point on, we no longer have any ties between us. If you see me, act as if you do not know me and I will do the same."
"As far as you are concerned, Zi Yi, what you do and what you have done were all your own choices and you will have to bear the responsibility on your own. I already warned you enough times."
These were Lin Feng's last words, immediately after, he abruptly turned around and disappeared into the middle of the crowd. Zi Yi and Zi Ling were absolutely dumbstruck.
Lin Feng had left and cut the ties between them.
"Sister, look what you have done, Lin Feng left out of rage." said Zi Ling, who was angry, but Zi Yi groaned coldly and said: "Good, he would have tried to trick you sooner or later."
At that moment, people in the queue started to get livelier. At the end of the corridor, a group of people had appeared and leading them was an old man of the Zi Government. He was the Patriarch of the Zi Governmental: Zi Ying.
Behind Zi Ying were two people. One of them was wearing golden clothes. He looked elegant and majestic and diffused a dazzling aura. That was the future husband, Zi Qiong.
Besides, on Zi Qiong's side, there was an incredibly delicate and pretty woman. She was wearing a long purple dress. She had an ornamental wedding crown on her head, she was incredibly beautiful.
"What a beautiful woman! It looks like the rumors are true, the bride is the most beautiful girl in the region. Even Zi Xia of the Zi Government, isn't as beautiful as her."
"How beautiful. She looks so elegant. Her clothes make her even more beautiful. Zi Qiong really has good eyes. If only I could find such a beautiful wife, I would be so happy. Even if she wanted me to give up practicing cultivation, I would instantly agree."
Various comments were spreading through the crowd while looking at the beautiful bride. He really deserved his status as the young master of the Zi Government, finding such a beautiful wife was difficult.
Initially, they couldn't imagine what kind of girl would have the luck to marry Zi Qiong but at that moment they had no doubts anymore. That woman was definitely a good match for Zi Qiong and his social status.
"What a beautiful woman! Zi Yi, sister, the rumors were entirely true, there is no woman more beautiful than her in the region." said Zi Ling in a low voice. At that moment, she was also looking at the woman's beautiful and delicate face. When looking at the woman, she had the feeling that she wasn't beautiful at all.
Zi Yi's heart was also beating faster, but she remained silent. She turned around and looked at Lin Hao Jie. Lin Hao Jie was fixedly staring at the silhouette. He had a strange expression on his face. He couldn't help but sigh and say: "Zi Qiong, brother, you're really extremely lucky."
When Zi Yi saw Lin Hao Jie narrowing his eyes, jealousy invaded her heart, she then grabbed Lin Hao Jie's hand.
Lin Hao Jie turned his head and calmly looked at Zi Yi. In comparison with that beautiful woman, Zi Yi was extremely vulgar when compared to the beautiful bride.
"Zi Qiong and I are good friends. His wife is very beautiful. If I marry Zi Yi, people will laugh at me. I will make myself a laughing stock." thought Lin Hao Jie feeling depressed. He looked at ZI Yi in a cold way. He had already had his fun with Zi Yi, he didn't need her anymore.
When Zi Yi saw Lin Hao Jie's facial expression, a piercing coldness gradually invaded her heart.
"Alright, everybody, calm down!" At that moment, a cold and detached voice spread through the atmosphere. The crowd gradually calmed down and everybody looked at Zi Ying in the middle of the huge covered corridor.
"Zi Xia, come here." said Zi Ying while turning around. A beautiful young woman arrived. She raised her head and moved to Zi Ying's side.
Zi Xia was Zi Qiong's sister. She was the precious daughter of the Zi Government. Even though she wasn't as beautiful as the bride, she still had the power to drive men wild. A beautiful woman such as she could not easily be found.
"Zi Xia's is also very beautiful." whispered Lin Hao Jie. At least, she was much better than Zi Yi.
Zi Yi's face turned deathly pale. She was staring at Lin Hao Jie but he wasn't even looking at her.
"Sister! What's wrong?" said Zi Ling as if she had noticed something wrong. She started pulling on Zi Yi's hand, but Zi Yi remained frozen in place. She was just staring at Lin Hao Jie. On the day before, he had been so sweet to her and had kept whispering honeyed phrases. He had promised that they would be together forever. Why was he so cold at that moment?
"Today is the day of my son's wedding ceremony!" said Zi Ying from the corridor. He then continued: "At the same time, I would like to find a husband for my daughter, Zi Xia. This will be a simultaneous happy occasion for our family. If a young and outstanding young man is interested in marrying my daughter, come into the corridor and battle for her hand. The last one standing will be able to marry my daughter and become my new son-in-law. Besides, you will be able to enter the forbidden area with Zi Qiong."
The wedding tradition of the Zi Government was particularly strange. The crowd first congratulated them, then they could proceed with the ritual of the ancestors, and only then could they enter the forbidden area. When they came out of the forbidden area, they were officially husband and wife.
Besides, it was said that people could gain great benefits from entering the forbidden area.
Therefore, when Zi Ying finished talking, many people were astonished: enter the forbidden area?
The rule of the Zi Government was that, in order to enter the forbidden area, a young man had to be a direct descendent of the Zi Government. Therefore, daughters of the government and son-in-laws couldn't go into the forbidden area. That was the continued tradition. However, this time, they were not respecting the rules which stupefied many people.
Amongst the young men who were present, many of them looked excited and were eager to give it a try. Lin Hao Jie was one of them!
At that moment, nobody had noticed that, in the middle of the crowd, there was a young man wearing a silver mask who was also looking at that young bride. The expression in his eyes was sharp. He raised his hands to his silver mask and then slowly took it off. Immediately after, he slowly walked forwards.
The beautiful bride who was next to Zi Qiong was actually Duan Xin Ye, the princess of Xue Yue.
The Zi Government must be forcing her to marry Zi Qiong. If she had refused to marry him and enter the forbidden area, they would have forced Zi Qiong to take her innocence and then arrange her marriage, after the humiliation. Instead, she had accepted in order to preserve her honour and integrity. She had always kept her innocence and had never been with a man. However, if she entered the forbidden area with Zi Qiong, she didn't know what would happen to her.
This was her current situation, what would Duan Xin Ye do?"

When Zi Ying saw that so many young men were eager to give it a try, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "I will add one more thing, my daughter, Zi Xia, is eighteen years old. The young man who will marry her cannot be older than twenty two years old.
"Oh, I cannot compete. There's nothing I can do."
When Zi Ying finished talking, disappointment appeared on the faces of a myriad of young men. As expected the Zi Government was selecting the most outstanding young talents, those older than twenty two years old couldn't join in.
"Alright now, those who would like to become my son-in-law can come into the covered corridor for the battle." said Zi Ying. When he finished talking, two silhouettes immediately started walking in the covered corridor and when they arrived in front of Zi Ying, they looked at each other.
"No need to exchange greetings, you can immediately start fighting." said Zi Ying while waving his hand. The two people slightly nodded. One of them had broken through to the first Ling Qi layer while the other one had broken through to the second Ling Qi layer. No need to say that the result of the battle was no surprise, the one at the second Ling Qi layer would win.
At the bottom of the corridor, many young men were indignant, the young man at the first Ling Qi layer had no chance against the young man at the second Ling Qi layer.
At that moment within the crowd, Lin Hao Jie surprisingly remained silent. While waiting for his turn to fight, he couldn't help but smile coldly. He then said coldly: "Uncle, Hao Jie has feelings for Zi Xia which have been growing for a long time, if I manage to become her husband that would be my greatest wish."
While talking, Lin Hao Jie started walking through the crowd and arrived in the covered corridor.
"ARRRGHHH!" groaned Zi Yi while feeling depressed. Her face turned deathly pale, a streak of blood ran down the side of her mouth.
She had thought that Lin Hao Jie was strange a moment before. Zi Yi was badly affected, her chest felt oppressed. At the moment, Lin Hao Jie spoke, she couldn't bear it anymore. That pressure is what led blood to spill from her mouth. She felt extremely depressed.
Lin Hao Jie had told her during the previous night that he wanted to be with her forever. After having a one-night-stand with her, he dared try to find another woman to marry while she was forced to watch. Why was he being so cruel?
"Zi Yi what's wrong?" asked Zi Ling when she saw that blood was spilling out of Zi Yi's mouth. She was very surprised.
"Cough, cough." For a moment, Zi Yi felt dizzy and blacked out. She had no energy in her body any longer, there was absolutely no color remaining on her face.
"As far as you are concerned, Zi Yi what you do and what you have done were all your own choices and you will have to bear the responsibility on your own. I already warned you enough times."
Lin Feng's words were still resonating in her mind. At that moment, these words were full of meaning for her. She realized how ridiculous she had been for warning Zi Ling about Lin Feng. She hadn't even managed to protect herself.
Zi Yi slowly raised her head and saw the handsome silhouette in the covered corridor. On Zi Yi's extremely pale face appeared a particularly strange smile.
"Zi Yi what a foolish girl, and yet she thought that she was a dragon amongst humans." said Zi Yi while mocking herself and wiping off the blood on her mouth.
In a distant place, Lin Feng was looking at Lin Hao Jie go into the covered corridor, then he looked at Zi Yi and saw that she was smiling. He slightly shook his head. Zi Yi could only blame herself for what was happening.
"Zi Xia, please understand that I've had feelings for you, for a long time. Today, I want to marry you, I want you to become my wife." said Lin Hao Jie to Zi Xia. He sounded just as soft as when he was talking to Zi Yi. Zi Xia felt embarrassed and just slightly nodded.
Lin Hao Jie smiled satisfyingly. Immediately after, he turned around, looked at the young man in the corridor and said: "You can get down by yourself."
When the young man saw Lin Hao Jie, a light flashed in his eyes and he said, while gnashing his teeth: "I've already heard your reputation, the Golden Rain Sword. Today, I ask for you to exchange pointers with me."
Immediately after, the young man's body flickered and he threw himself towards Lin Hao Jie.
Lin Hao Jie smiled coldly. He raised his sword which then the sky filled with a golden rain. Its resplendent brightness was magnificent.
When the golden rain disappeared, Lin Hao Jie's sword was just as resplendent as before. However, the golden rain had fallen on his opponent. Lin Hao Jie had killed his opponent without mercy.
"How cruel." thought the people in the crowd. He had wanted to exchange pointers, that's all. Surprisingly, Lin Hao Jie decided to kill him.
Lin Hao Jie glanced at the crowd, his eyes were filled with vigour. He then said coldly: "Zi Xia is the woman I love. Who will try and prevent me from marrying her? If someone dares try to stand between our love. I will show no mercy when cutting them down with my sword."
Everybody in the crowd was astonished. Lin Hao Jie was extremely cruel. That way, nobody would dare to go into the covered corridor anymore.
"Zi Yi, Lin Hao Jie is a good husband for you." said Zi Ying while smiling. The crowd was astonished again, Zi Ying was dropping a hint, and he hoped that Lin Hao Jie would become his next son-in-law.
As expected, nobody dared to go into the covered corridor. When Zi Ying saw that, he smiled.
"Obviously, if nobody dares to fight anymore, the competition had ended. Zi Qiong, Zi Xia."
"Father."
Zi Qiong and Zi Xia started walking while looking solemn and respectful.
"You two can proceed to the ritual of our ancestors."
"Understood." said Zi Qiong while slightly nodding. He then said: "For the ritual, the husband and the wife must kneel three times and kowtow nine times as well as make an oath to each other."
When he finished talking, Zi Qiong looked at Duan Xin Ye. She looked expressionless and remained silent.
"No need you and Zi Xia can kneel three times and kowtow nine times for the ritual, that's enough." said Zi Ying calmly. He also understood that Duan Xin Ye wasn't willing to marry Zi Qiong. Since it was that way, the ritual of the ancestors wasn't necessary. The most important thing was what was going to happen after they entered the forbidden area.
Zi Qiong and Zi Xia looked at each other and then walked towards the gigantic statue. They then knelt three times and kowtowed nine times.
When they finished this, they both stood up and muttered some incantations. Immediately after, they cut the tip of their finger and let some blood flow out. They then put their fingers into a hole within the statue. They let the blood spill into the hole and enter the statue.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a rumbling noise spread through the air. The statue slowly rotated and fully revealed the stone gate which started to open, it was the entrance to the forbidden area.
That gate was the only entrance into the forbidden area. Only those who were blood-related to the Zi Government could make that gate open.
When Zi Qiong saw the gate open itself, he looked excited.
"Alright, Xin Ye and Hao Jie, you can follow Zi Qiong and Zi Xia inside."
"Alright." replied Lin Hao Jie moving towards the entrance. He looked excited. Duan Xin Ye was just standing in the same place remaining motionless.
"Xin Ye, didn't you hear me?" said Zi Yi in a cold tone.
"I will not go inside."
Finally, Duan Xin Ye, who had remained uncommunicative until that moment, opened her mouth. What she said stupefied many people.
Duan Xin Ye sounded like she wasn't willing to marry Zi Qiong.
Zi Ying and Zi Qiong were stupefied and looked ice-cold.
"Have you thought about the consequences?" said Zi Yi with an evil tone, his voice sounded majestic yet cruel.
"I will not go in with him." said Duan Xin Ye. Immediately after, she removed the purple wedding attire that she was wearing and threw them onto the floor. She wasn't wearing anything related to the wedding anymore. She had thrown all the wedding clothing onto the floor.
Her long hair looked like a black waterfall. Even though she wasn't wearing her purple wedding clothes, she was still as beautiful as before in the simple unadorned clothes. She looked soft and tender. She was morally elevated.
"You seem to be forgetting our agreement." said Zi Ying in a piercingly cold way. He would have never thought that Duan Xin Ye would cancel their agreement.
"An agreement? I have been forced, do you call that an agreement?" said Duan Xin Ye while smiling. She then continued: "No need to keep threatening me, I will not let him have my body. I will not marry him even if that was not the case. I already have someone I love." when Duan Xin Ye finished talking, she took out a dagger stupefying the crowd, she then pressed it against her throat.
The hearts of the people in the crowd were pounding. Duan Xin Ye, that extremely beautiful woman wanted to kill herself, did she really want to die rather than get married?
"Stop!" said Zi Ying and Zi Qiong whose facial expression drastically changed. But they just saw that Duan Xin Ye had a natural smile on her face.
"I just hope that once I'm dead, I'll still be able to find a way to let Lin Feng know that I really didn't know." said Duan Xin Ye while looking towards the sky. It seemed like she had changed completely and was finally revealing her true self.
Tears were flowing down her cheeks.
"Lin Feng, I really didn't know!"

"Lin Feng."
"Lin Feng must be the man she loves." guessed the crowd when hearing that beautiful woman's plea. The fact that she hoped that he could understand after her death proved that she cared for him.
The crowd was feeling gloomy, if only that beautiful woman could have had those feelings for them that would be such an auspicious occasion.
"She's calling Lin Feng." Zi Ling was stupefied, she was blankly staring at Duan Xin Ye, but it couldn't be the same person, the Lin Feng that Duan Xin Ye was talking about was definitely not the one she knew.
How could such a beautiful woman fall in love with the Lin Feng that she knew?
At that moment, Lin Feng in the middle of the crowd, was violently shaking.
"Lin Feng I really didn't know." why would she think about Lin Feng in her last moments?
"I have greatly misunderstood her." Suddenly, Lin Feng's heart felt painful.
He was the one who had killed the black guards to save her, he had saved Duan Xin Ye, but after figuring out the plot, he misjudged and abandoned Duan Xin Ye. It was because of him that she had ended up in this situation and was being forced to marry Zi Qiong.
Why would she need to explain anything to him? It was him who should have believed in her.
"Wait, wait." said Lin Feng. He took a step and threw himself through the air. He immediately landed within the covered corridor.
Lin Feng's silhouette drew people's attention. The crowd all looked at him. His clothes were white, clean and simple. His face was delicate and handsome.
Besides, when Duan Xin Ye saw Lin Feng, her heart started pounding.
It was Lin Feng, he was here.
Looking natural and unrestrained, it was really him, he was really in front of her and it wasn't an illusion.
At the bottom of the covered corridor, Zi Ling and Zi Yi were staring at Lin Feng. They were shivering. Could it be that that Lin Feng was really the one Duan Xin Ye was talking about?
Why did he take his silver mask off?
"Zi Yi, sister, the man she was speaking of is Lin Feng?" whispered Zi Ling. She couldn't believe it.
At that moment, Zi Yi had hopelessly stopped looking towards Lin Hao Jie. Her heart was filled with hatred. She then looked at Lin Feng said coldly: "How could it be Lin Feng? It's impossible!"
In the covered corridor, Lin Hao Jie also saw Lin Feng. A light flashed in his eyes. It seemed like he knew that young man from somewhere. He had the impression that he had seen Lin Feng before, but he rejected the idea since he could not remember seeing Lin Feng's face before.
Duan Xin Ye was looking at Lin Feng while remaining completely silent. She was also starting to put less pressure on the dagger.
"Lin Feng."
Duan Xin Ye couldn't believe her eyes. She just whispered Lin Feng's name.
"It's really me, I'm sorry for having made you suffer." said Lin Feng while sighing. His apology sounded sincere.
When Duan Xin Ye heard Lin Feng, she started weeping and heavily sobbing. Immediately tears started to unceasingly slide down her beautiful cheeks. However, a smile was on her face. At that moment, it seemed like everything had lost its splendor compared to this beautiful moment, the crowd was extremely moved.
A metallic sound spread through the air. Duan Xin Ye dropped the dagger on the ground. She then started walking slowly towards Lin Feng. When she arrived in front of him, she said: "Lin Feng, I do not blame you, I really do not blame you!"
Lin Feng was looking at Duan Xin Ye, a deep and profound expression appeared in his eyes. He looked perplexed. In the Imperial Clan, there was the crown prince, Duan Wu Dao, who was extremely aggressive, and the second prince, Duan Wu Ya, who was mysterious and extremely strong. However, Duan Xin Ye, their sister, was pure, innocent and kind-hearted.
Even though she had an extremely high status of a princess, she was also just an inexperienced beautiful young girl.
When the crowd saw that, they were moved. Maybe this sweet couple were soul-mates.
Zi Ling and Zi Yi were astonished. It was really him, it was really Lin Feng.
It was the Lin Feng whom they had been looking down on the whole time. Surprisingly, that Lin Feng was really the one the princess loved. Zi Yi had been really ridiculous to think that Lin Feng would try anything with them, in comparison with Duan Xin Ye, they were nothing.
Lin Hao Jie had dumped Zi Yi for Zi Xia in a heartbeat. In his eyes, Zi Yi was nothing. He hadn't even given her an explanation.
In fact, it was so cruel that she couldn't accept it.
Besides, it must be an illusion.
Why did she love Lin Feng? What the hell is so good about that guy?
Hideous expressions also appeared on the faces of the people from the Zi Government.
Duan Xin Ye was supposed to be Zi Qiong's wife. However, at that moment, on the day of her wedding, she surprisingly said that she loved someone else, the Zi Government couldn't accept that.
The Zi Government was losing face. Everybody was going to ridicule them.
Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye were humiliating the Zi Government in the presence of the entire crowd.
"Are you done flirting now?" said Zi Qiong extremely coldly. He looked angrier than anyone else. He had played the most important role in that story, he was the one who wanted to marry Duan Xin Ye but at that moment, she didn't accept him and damaged his reputation.
Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye looked at Zi Qiong. Lin Feng moved Duan Xin Ye behind him. She liked the feeling of Lin Feng protecting her again. On that day when Lin Feng was chasing the black guards even though his life was at stake, she had had a similar feeling like he would give his life for her.
"Duan Xin Ye, I have never mistreated you, I am generous, I have never touched you. In the future, if you had had asked anything of me, I would have given you anything, but today you decide to flirt with another man, I will not show any mercy, and your body is mine."
Zi Qiong was staring at Duan Xin Ye and his voice was piercingly-cold.
"The people of the Zi Government are so shameless?" Lin Feng found Zi Qiong's logic ridiculous. He had forced Duan Xin Ye to accept the marriage and he expected her to be thankful to him?
"If I understand your logic, if someone forces your sister to become his wife, but doesn't touch her. She has to give herself to him, be thankful and willingly become his wife? Is that the logic of the people within the Zi Government?" said Lin Feng coldly. The people of the Zi Government were coldly staring at Lin Feng.
"Your name is Lin Feng, you are extremely audacious to dare criticize my Zi Government. I will slaughter you." Zi Qiong looked at Lin Feng with killing intent. Lin Feng was younger than him and still dared to slander the Zi Government. Lin Feng had a death wish.
"You can try." said Lin Feng calmly. He was standing there, in his white clothes, with his sword on still his back. He was expressionless and fearless.
A gentle breeze blew through the large covered corridor. Lin Feng's white clothes were fluttering in the wind. At that moment, he looked frivolous, natural and unrestrained.
Zi Ling and Zi Yi were absolutely dumbstruck and blankly stared at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng wasn't the same person anymore. He seemed like he was a completely different person. He wasn't quite, patient and accommodating anymore. His voice was filled with ardor. He was standing tall and upright while facing the Zi Government alone.
At that moment, Lin Feng looked unique and exceptionally strong as if he was going to unsheathe a terrifyingly powerful sword.
"What an insane guy. Zi Qiong, brother, let me take care of him." said Lin Hao Jie while taking a step. This was a chance for him to show off his strength.
"Alright, brother." said Zi Qiong while slightly nodding. Immediately after, Lin Hao Jie started running, in a flash, he arrived in front of Lin Feng, his golden clothes were dazzling and magnificent.
"Why do I have the impression that we know each other?" asked Lin Hao Jie while frowning.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Just attack me already."
"Since you're so impatient to die, I will grant your wish. Remember the name of the person who is going to kill you, my name is Lin Hao Jie also known as the Golden Rain Sword." said Lin Hao Jie arrogantly.
He then started walking again. His golden rain invaded the atmosphere and filled the sky. The golden rain turned into a dazzling light. It was resplendent.
When the golden rain fell down, the golden light enveloped Lin Feng's body.
Lin Feng was standing completely motionless. He raised his hand. Some sword Qi spread through the air. A bright and resplendent light flashed for a second and then disappeared without trace.
However, at that moment, Lin Hao Jie let out a horrible shriek. His long sword had fallen onto the ground. The hand was still holding the sword and had been cut off from the elbow.
The crowd was absolutely dumbstruck. Their eyes were wide open. They hadn't seen what Lin Feng had done and how he achieved such a result.
At that moment, Lin Feng was still standing in the same place. It seemed like he hadn't moved at all. However, Lin Hao Jie's hand had really been cut off and was on the ground.
"The Golden Rain Sword, you are humiliation for anyone who uses a sword, you shouldn't even be allowed to hold a sword." said Lin Feng coldly. The hearts of the people in the crowd were pounding.
Especially Zi Ling and Zi Yi, they couldn't stop shaking. They were completely stunned.
"Lin Hao Jie, a sword master?"
"Lin Feng, a coward and a piece of trash?"
In front of Lin Feng, Lin Hao Jie was a piece of trash and shouldn't have been allowed to hold a sword.

Lin Feng had cut off Lin Hao Jie's forearm in a single strike.
On top of that, he hadn't used his sword but had only waved his hand through the air. It released a resplendent light which had made the golden rain attack look like a joke.
The name "Golden Rain Sword" had become a joke.
Exactly like Lin Feng had said, Lin Hao Jie shouldn't have been allowed to hold a sword, it was a humiliation for all sword users. Lin Hao Jie was far from being talented, especially when compared to Lin Feng.
Zi Yi had been really ridiculous to consider Lin Feng as a piece of trash and to think of Lin Hao Jie as a good person. Thinking that she would become a dragon amongst the people, she had offered the purity of her body to him and been humiliated. She had completely ignored Lin Feng's advice.
"He.. hee.. heee…" at that moment, Zi Yi's laughter was strange. At that moment, Lin Hao Jie, with his missing arm, looked incredibly pitiful. Lin Feng, who was protecting Duan Xin Ye, looked heroic, natural and unrestrained.
Lin Feng was really a dragon amongst the people. He was open-minded, even though Zi Yi had humiliated him over and over again, he had never lost his temper. He had never been aggressive because he didn't care, and he also thought that it wasn't worth letting her words bother him. Lin Feng was really an amazing person.
Zi Ling was also looking at the confident Lin Feng as if it was the first time she had laid eyes on him. The Lin Feng, who was standing in the covered corridor, was natural and unrestrained. He had cut off Lin Hao Jie's arm from the elbow without restraint. Was it really the same young man as the one that they had picked up on the side of the road? Was it the same young man who was holding a broom and sweeping the garden? Was it the same coward, who had made a fire in the thatched hut and was treated badly through the whole journey.
Zi Yi and Zi Ling understood what their father's words meant when they were leaving. Zi Nan had made Lin Feng go with them to make sure that they would arrive safely at the Zi Government. It was his mission to protect them. At the same time, he had also given them an amazing opportunity to get to know him and become closer with him. Zi Yi had been so ridiculous, calling Lin Feng a piece of trash, despising him, and getting fooled by Lin Hao Jie who had taken her virginity. Zi Ling had also never given Lin Feng any respect either.
"Not allowed to hold a sword." Lin Hao Jie was just standing there motionless, blood was flowing from his arm onto the ground. He looked deathly pale. It was the first time that somebody told him that he, Lin Hao Jie also known as the Golden Rain Sword, shouldn't have been allowed to hold a sword; that he was a humiliation to sword users.
"A sword is sharp, using one requires a person to be determined and proud. You don't have these qualities, your sword play is flashy but has no substance. You shouldn't even be allowed to hold a sword, and you should never be considered as a sword user as it is a humiliation to those who actually train in the sword." said Lin Feng sounding ice-cold. Lin Hao Jie had none of the qualities required to be a good sword user, his style was flashy but without substance. He only focused on looks and not the sharpness of his sword.
"You dared to cut my hand? Who the hell are you?" said Lin Hao Jie while raising his head. He was fixedly staring at Lin Feng. The impression that he knew Lin Feng was growing in his mind.
"Actually, I'm not done with you yet." Lin Feng had an ice-cold smile on his face. He then moved forwards, in a flash, his silhouette disappeared and immediately appeared in front of Lin Hao Jie.
Lin Hao Jie was violently shaking. He had no way of blocking Lin Feng's attacks. He felt an incredible sword Qi penetrate into his chest and destroy his organs. His face was completely distorted and he was fixedly staring at Lin Feng.
Not only had Lin Feng cut off his hand, but he was also going to kill him.
"It's you." said Lin Hao Jie when he saw Lin Feng's eyes, his heart was pounding. That was the uncommunicative young man from the thatched hut who had made the fire. It was the one whom he called a coward.
Back in the thatched hut, Lin Feng was just a useless coward making a fire for them, but at that moment, Lin Feng could easily kill him. That was completely the opposite of what he believed. Lin Hao Jie's heart was pounding but he knew that his fate was already sealed.
"Indeed, it's me." said Lin Feng coldly. Lin Feng's hand was on Lin Hao Jie's chest releasing Qi. Immediately after, Lin Hao Jie groaned and the Qi disappeared. However, his eyes were still wide open. He could not accept his death, even in his last moments. He had a high social status, was talented and handsome, how could he die so easily in front of a huge crowd?
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!."
When the crowd saw the corpse collapse onto the ground, their hearts were pounding.
Lin Feng had killed Lin Hao Jie, the Golden Rain Sword. He didn't care about Lin Hao Jie's social status, he simply killed him. It had looked simple for him to kill Lin Hao Jie, it was as if Lin Feng had just killed an insect.
At that moment, those who were shocked the most were the sisters, Zi Yi and Zi Ling.
Lin Hao Jie, had died?
It had been that easy for Lin Feng to kill Lin Hao Jie?
"Sister, he was wearing a mask because he knew the princess. He knew that something was going to happen and he didn't want to put us in danger and wanted to avoid us getting involved."
Zi Ling had suddenly understood why Lin Feng was wearing his silver mask. He didn't want other people to know that Zi Yi and Zi Ling had come with him. Whatever would happen, they would not get in trouble because of him.
"You two owe Lin Hao Jie nothing."
Lin Feng's words were resonating in their minds. In the thatched hut, considering Lin Feng's strength, could the Three Evil Alpacas have harmed them?
It would have been impossible. It was just that Lin Feng remained silent at the time and didn't reveal everything. However, these two girls didn't like that, they liked men who would show off, who were arrogant. They like Lin Hao Jie.
They regretted their actions.
Especially Zi Yi, who had lost her virginity to Lin Hao Jie. A few honeyed phrases had been enough and she had given her body to him. However, regretting was useless. Lin Hao Jie had been killed by Lin Feng. Lin Feng would never look at such a foolish girl. Zi Yi, who was usually very arrogant, was crushed.
She had called Lin Feng a piece of trash but actually, in Lin Feng's eyes, she was the real piece of trash. She was just a pitiful, lost young girl, nothing more. Lin Feng had never been affected by her words because her words meant nothing.
"You will die." coldly shouted Zi Qiong. Hideous expressions could be seen on the faces of the people from the Zi Government.
Lin Feng turned around and looked at Duan Xin Ye. On Duan Xin Ye's face, you could see that she had cried but at that moment, a warm and tender smile had also appeared on her face. She was calmly standing behind Lin Feng.
"The people who made you want to take your own life will all die." said Lin Feng calmly.
"Stay close to me."
"Alright." said Duan Xin Ye while slightly nodding.
Lin Feng put his hand behind his back, grabbed his long sword and unsheathed it.
His sword was as limpid as water, it looks magnificent and resplendent as well as sharp.
"A sword user."
The crowd, when they saw Lin Feng's hand, were astonished. Lin Feng despised Lin Hao Jie and his golden rain. Lin Feng could kill Lin Hao Jie with only his bare hands. How sharp was his sword?
Zi Ling's hands were shaking. That was a sword, Lin Feng had taken his sword out.
She liked sword users who did everything to become sword masters. They looked heroic, natural, and majestic.
But sword users were rare, strong sword masters were even rarer. Lin Hao Jie was already the strongest sword user she had ever seen. Lin Hao Jie's sword was magnificent, resplendent yet Lin Feng could kill him easily. How powerful was Lin Feng's sword?
White clothes and a silver sword.
Lin Feng had taken out his sword, at that moment, he was calmly standing there and a wonderful feeling invaded his body as if the heavens and the earth felt different from before. Lin Feng had started his earth fusion.
Zi Qiong also had a strange feeling. Even though he had said that he wanted Lin Feng to die, he wasn't going to attack because he didn't dare approach Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was calmly standing there which gave Zi Qiong a feeling of inferiority. He hated that feeling.
"Kill him." coldly said Zi Ying. In a flash, a few people appeared in the corridor looking solemn. They released deadly energy which filled the entire atmosphere. It was extremely oppressive.
A silhouette flickered and moved towards Lin Feng at full speed, but Lin Feng remained calm and motionless. He looked like an unmoving mountain.
At the moment when the opponent arrived near him, Lin Feng finally moved.
He took a step forwards, a very small step.
At that moment, extremely strong deadly sword energy spread through the air and transformed into a strong wind which struck the opponents. At that moment, the opponents felt that they were suffocating. It seemed like the Lin Feng wasn't a human being, he looked like a sword. Besides, his sword looked like a heavenly sword releasing heavens fury.
At that moment, Zi Ling was also suffocating.
A sword had been used, its splendour illuminated the atmosphere and cause heaven and earth to tremble.
Silence invaded the crowd. The people who were moving towards Lin Feng all suddenly stopped. At that moment, it seemed like time had stopped.
