The Earth Fusion was a cultivation dimension that many cultivators never understood in their entire life. Even strong cultivators at the Xuan Qi layer required luck and a great amount of insight, in order to understand earth fusions.

When a cultivator and the earth fused together, the human being absorbs strength from the earth itself. Every movement was in perfect accordance with the forces of heaven and earth.

Lin Feng's sword left a brilliant and resplendent arch-shaped light as it slashed through the air. The ones who were attacking Lin Feng were completely enveloped by that light. Lin Feng's sword energy seemed like it was coming from every direction.

Immediately after, Lin Feng attacked those who had come to attack him. Each and every single one of them slowly collapsed. They had all fallen dead, in an instant.

A single sword had annihilated all of them. Nobody had been lucky enough to escape.

The hearts of the people in the crowd were pounding. A few strong Zi Government members had already been killed by Lin Feng's sword. He was a real sword master. In front of Lin Feng, Lin Hao Jie was indeed a humiliation to sword users.

His radiant Golden Rain Sword, in front of Lin Feng's sword, looked like a comedy act. Lin Feng's sword was genuinely sharp, he could actually kill people in an instant when using his sword.

Zi Ying and Zi Qiong were stupefied. While looking at that young man wearing white clothes, they felt furious.

How strong.

Zi Qiong was sure that if he fought against Lin Feng, he would definitely die. There would be no suspense at all. He would end up the same as Lin Hao Jie. He wouldn't be able to withstand a single attack.

Zi Qiong and Zi Xia turned around and looked at their father, Zi Ying. Only Zi Ying could kill Lin Feng.

Not only them but everybody else was looking at Zi Ying. He was the patriarch of the Zi Government, how was he supposed to tolerate Lin Feng's attitude?

"Your martial skills are not bad." coldly said Zi Ying while staring at Lin Feng. Zi Ying had broken through to the ninth Ling Qi layer and could break through to the Xuan Qi layer at any moment.

He was able to sense Lin Feng's strength and he thought that Lin Feng's sword skills were only simple sword strikes. He had definitely used some type of trick. In other words, he had used an extremely powerful and high-level sword skill which was hidden as a simple sword strike.

"Martial skill?" a smile appeared on Lin Feng's face as if something hilarious had been said. He hadn't used any of his skills at all. He had just carried out ordinary sword strikes, it was just that he used his sword fusion and his earth fusion during these attacks.

That sword belonged to a higher dimension of cultivation.

"You don't understand at all." said Lin Feng indifferently. Zi Ying's understanding of cultivation wasn't advanced enough. He didn't know what earth fusion was. Only those who could penetrate into that dimension could understand it and know the strength it contained.

For example, Lin Feng didn't need to use his spirit, he could close his eyes and was still able to sense a leaf falling in the distance. He could sense everything that was happening around him. Zi Ying couldn't do that. He could only trust his intuition which might not always be correct. Even if he knew that some people could use earth fusion, he still couldn't understand it, he had sensed nothing at all. Obviously, he wasn't able to understand even the basics.

"You don't understand at all." When Zi Ying heard these words, said by Lin Feng with so much confidence, he felt really uncomfortable.

A junior was telling him, in front of everybody, that he didn't understand something, it made him seem incredibly ignorant.

"I don't understand?" said Zi Ying while smiling coldly and then added: "You're still a child and you dare act in such an arrogant way, you do not know how vast the world is. You came here, caused trouble, killed people of the Zi Government and humiliated it, I will not simply kill you."

"I will cripple your cultivation. You will suffer everyday of your life. You will suffer a fate much worse than death." Zi Ying's voice was piercingly cold. When the crowd his words, they also sensed a wave of coldness emerge from Zi Ying.

Lin Feng was looking at Zi Ying. Immediately after, a smile appeared on his face, as if he had heard a joke.

"Why are you smiling?" asked Zi Ying in an extremely cold way.

"You are clearly afraid of me." said Lin Feng as calmly as before and then continued: "I came to the Zi Government alone, I caused trouble during your children's wedding ceremony, killed your future son-in-law, and slaughtered a number of people who belonged to the Zi Government. The Zi Government and I cannot exist under the same sky, there is no way to change that. If you weren't afraid of me, you would have already attacked me but right now, you are not entirely sure that you can fight against me. Therefore, you are only saying empty threats. You want to find out how strong I really am while also delaying for time."

When Zi Ying heard Lin Feng, he was stupefied. Indeed, he was really afraid of Lin Feng. A moment ago, he hadn't understood anything about Lin Feng's sword.

He was ignorant and on top of that, he was afraid. What terrified Zi Ying is that he couldn't determine exactly how strong Lin Feng was. Otherwise, he wouldn't waste time talking nonsense to Lin Feng. He would have attacked Lin Feng immediately after the Zi Government members were killed.

Lin Feng had managed to perfectly understand the situation.

"No matter whom you are hoping will arrive if you delay me long enough, today, you will die." Lin Feng took a step forwards while holding his sword. Lin Feng seemed to be walking extremely slowly but when his suddenly sword diffused a bright and dazzling light, Lin Feng, in a flash, had already landed in front of Zi Ying. The crowd had the impression that they were hallucinating, how had Lin Feng crossed such an incredible distance in a flash.

"Boom!"

A purple illusionary spirit appeared behind Zi Ying and it was incredibly huge. Zi Ying's entire body was enveloped in a resplendent purple light. Zi Ying's spirit was very mysterious.

Surprisingly, when fighting against Lin Feng, he had released his spirit immediately. He was definitely proving Lin Feng's words, he was afraid of him. Because he was afraid of Lin Feng, he couldn't afford to be careless and had thus immediately released his spirit.

"Pishhhhhh!"

Lin Feng's sword fell from the sky.

"Purple Fist!" furiously shouted Zi Ying. His purple spirit rushed through the air and transformed into an illusion around Zi Ying.

An incredible quantity of purple Qi emerged and turned into a spiral, it spun around Zi Ying's hand. It looked like a purple fist had formed around Zi Ying's hand.

Finally, the monstrous purple fist launched forward and bombarded the atmosphere. In a flash, on Zi Ying's fist, countless purple fists were rushing towards Lin Feng at full speed.

"Pshhh.. pshhhh…"

Lin Feng's sword blocked the purple fists. Lin Feng was unceasingly moving his sword to block the bombardment of purple fists. His forearm felt incredibly sore from the continued pressure on his sword.

The Purple Fist skill was a high-quality skill at the Xuan level. That skill and the spirit complemented each other. It enabled members of the Zi Government to carry out extremely powerful attacks which had the strength of the Di level.

It was especially strong if it was used by a cultivator of the ninth Ling Qi layer. If he had used that skill against a mountain, a large crater would have appeared in it.

Lin Feng's sword was becoming slower and slower as if he couldn't stand the pressure. His forearm felt heavier and heavier. However, he looked as calm as before. His heart was also filled with determination.

His sword was extremely sharp. Lin Feng looked as if he could destroy anything.

Sword masters had an incredible aura. The sword of a real master was capable of pure annihilation and a real master would never retreat when using such a sword.

Lin Feng's sword was extremely sharp and pierced the atmosphere with each movement.

Lin Feng's sword was unceasingly destroying the purple fists.

"Retreat!"

Zi Ying's facial expression drastically changed. Lin Feng's sword was unceasingly moving as before. When he saw the sword heading straight for him, without hesitation, he jumped backwards.

A moment later, Zi Ying's face was deathly pale because Lin Feng's sword had undergone a trajectory change and was now moving towards his son, Zi Qiong.

Zi Ying was unable to block the attack, what would happen if Zi Qiong received that attack?

"You would dare!" shouted Zi Ying furiously.

"Die!" said Lin Feng coldly. Why wouldn't Lin Feng dare?

If Zi Ling hadn't coincidentally picked him up on the side of the road, Zi Qiong would have caused harm to Duan Xin Ye. At that moment, Lin Feng wasn't killing Zi Qiong for any other reason but to avenge Duan Xin Ye.

If Duan Xin Ye had taken her own life, Lin Feng would have regretted it his entire life.

When Zi Qiong saw that Lin Feng's sword was moving towards him at full speed, his heart twitched. His facial expression revealed hopelessness. Was he, Zi Qiong, going to die? Was he going to get killed on the day of his wedding and at the moment when he was about to enter the forbidden area?

"Pshh."

A small sound filled the atmosphere. Zi Qiong didn't think much longer. His eyes looked calm. Fear, hopelessness, he would have never thought that such a day would come for him.

Zi Qiong slowly collapsed onto the floor. The people in the crowd held their breath and their hearts were pounding.

The young master of the Zi Government had been killed.

Lin Feng's words weren't empty, if he said he was going to kill, he killed. He could pierce everything with his sword. Not only the head of the Zi Government but everybody related to harming the princess had to die.

Lin Feng was enraged, he would unleash all of his fury for the princess.

"How strong, what an incredibly strong young man!"

Many people in the crowd were astonished. Thier hearts were pounding. How old was Lin Feng?

He seemed to be much younger than Zi Qiong. But he had killed Lin Hao Jie the Golden Rain Sword, he had killed some members from the Zi Government and his sword had made a cultivator at the peak of the ninth Ling Qi layer retreat while he killed Zi Qiong.

"Monstrous" was the only adequate word to describe Lin Feng's strength. The Zi Government, was the strongest and most influential group within the entire region.

Besides, Lin Feng was only a young man and yet he dared to slaughter so many people from the Zi Government, annihilating everything and killing anyone who tried to stop him.

Zi Ling and Zi Yi, they couldn't believe their eyes, they had the impression that they were dreaming.

They thought that Lin Feng was a piece of trash but in the end, he was much stronger than Lin Hao Jie, he was terrifyingly strong and had outstanding natural talent. He had even managed to make Zi Ying retreat.

Duan Xin Ye's smile, while looking at Lin Feng's back, was getting bigger and bigger. She knew how hot-blooded and determined Lin Feng was. On that day, Lin Feng had chased and killed five incredibly strong cultivators to save her.

Amongst those eight people, all of them were stronger than Lin Feng. They had all broken through to the seventh Ling Qi layer. Lin Feng, relying on his fearless demeanour, looked like a war god as he killed the lieutenants of the black guard. In the end, only one was left alive.

Lin Feng would risk his life for her. She was also ready to die if she could not be with him. It seemed like they were perfect for each other, nothing could separate them.

"Ahhhhhh……" A tragic shout filled the atmosphere which shocked the crowd. Zi Ying was fixedly staring at that corpse lying on the ground. He had only one son. He had spent many years raising him and shaping him into a strong cultivator. This was going to be a beautiful day for him; he was going to enter the forbidden area but at that moment, he was lying on the ground as a corpse.

"I want you to die!" Zi Ying's voice was filled with hatred. He was fixedly staring at Lin Feng. His extremely strong spirit suddenly emitted insane roars, the spirit looked like it had gone insane.

Blood was dripping from Lin Feng's sword. When he saw Zi Ying, who was roaring with sadness, killing intent filled Lin Feng's eyes.

"I also want you to die." Lin Feng ran towards Zi Ying.

"BOOM!"

A spiral of purple Qi rushed from Zi Ying's hand and formed a purple fist. Behind his body, his spirit was emitting an endless purple light. Zi Ying's purple fist bombarded the atmosphere towards Lin Feng.

Then, the purple fist transformed into a silhouette that looked exactly like the purple spirit behind Zi Ying. Suddenly a huge purple cloud rushed through the air straight towards Lin Feng as if it wanted to swallow him entirely. Both attacks were now rushing towards him.

"Die!"

Lin Feng slashed with his sword and cut that purple giant in two, but the purple clouds continued moving towards Lin Feng at full speed. Besides, the purple silhouette reassembled itself from the two pieces.

"Die, die, die!"

Zi Ying was shouting furiously, he kept releasing purple spirals towards the giant silhouette. That purple giant suddenly moved its hand. An incredible purple fist attack emerged from its hand. Besides, the eyes of the purple giant looked like that of a human. Its eyes were filled with hatred, coldness and killing intent. This was also Zi Ying's state of mind at the time.

"What kind of attack is that?"

When the crowd saw that, they were stupefied. The energy had suddenly transformed into a purple giant and on top of that, the purple giant could attack, it was as if Lin Feng now had to fight two opponents.

"Purple Annihilation."

A few of the direct descendants of the Zi Government were absolutely astonished. Purple Annihilation was a skill which only the direct descendants of the Zi Government knew.

Purple referred to colour of the Qi, the purple Qi could transform. At that moment, that purple giant had actually appeared because Zi Ying was controlling it.

Annihilation, because that attack was extremely powerful and it could destroy anything in its path. That giant was almost invincible. Even its attacks were unstoppable. It was almost impossible to protect one's life when facing such a powerful attack. It was an extremely powerful skill.

"His skill and spirit is really quite strange!"

At that moment, Lin Feng was also surprised. He had attacked that purple giant and cut it in two but that had only wasted time, the purple cloud had almost reached him.

That purple cloud was extremely strong, its only purpose was destruction.

Lin Feng's vision seemed like it could pierce the very air itself. At that moment, he was standing there but it felt like his presence had disappeared. Him and the earth were in complete symbiosis. His body had fused with the Qi of heaven and earth.

"Die."

The purple illusion was surprisingly speaking. Its voice was extremely cold. The deadly energy surrounded Lin Feng's body and then swallowed him.

"Where the hell did Lin Feng go?" a furious shout filled the air.

The silent crowd sighed. They only saw a white silhouette standing next to Duan Xin Ye. If not Lin Feng, who else could it be?

A moment before, the entire crowd had been fascinated by that purple cloud and hadn't focused on Lin Feng at all.

"How quick! When did he dodge?" thought the people in the crowd. Lin Feng had been way too quick, a moment before, it seemed like Lin Feng had disappeared without trace. They hadn't even noticed his movement.

"If I hadn't managed to penetrate into the earth fusion dimension, I would have been badly hurt by that attack. What a strange spirit. As expected, I cannot afford to be negligent."

Then, Lin Feng saw that purple giant suddenly transformed into a huge purple face. The face was horrifying. Zi Ying was standing behind it and remained motionless. His spirit was no longer behind his back but was fighting against Lin Feng.

"Raawwr." the giant roared and moved towards Lin Feng at full speed. Lin Feng was calmly standing there and could sense the Qi released by the giant. Immediately after, a cold and indifferent smile appeared on his face. Lin Feng grabbed Duan Xin Ye's, his silhouette flickered and he moved back.

The giant was attacking Lin Feng but he continued to dodge, making it roar once again.

"Raawwwr…" the giant roared extremely loudly and then groaned. The crowd could only see that purple giant slowly dispersed. The purple cloud was slowly vanishing until it completely disappeared.

"It's gone?"

The crowd was astonished. They were looking at Zi Ying. His spirit was back behind him, but it was very small and looked extremely fragile.

"With your current strength, you don't even know how to perfectly control your spirit."

Lin Feng smiled coldly. His perception was extremely sharp. At the moment the purple giant attacked him, Lin Feng had sensed that its strength was gradually getting weaker and weaker. Even though Zi Ying was doing his best to control it as much as possible, it was still gradually getting weaker, which was why Lin Feng had chosen to move back.

As expected, he hadn't needed to dodge any longer, the purple cloud had vanished. A moment before, Zi Ying wanted to use all of his strength to kill Lin Feng, but unfortunately for him, he didn't have enough power.

"Now, it's my turn." Lin Feng took a step and released a deadly energy. A vast quantity of sword Qi emerged. Lin Feng's sword emitted a piercingly cold light.

Zi Ying's face was extremely pale. A moment before, he had used all his strength but hadn't managed to kill Lin Feng. He wouldn't have another opportunity. Besides, he had consumed all his Qi reserves while controlling his spirit. If he didn't get killed by Lin Feng, that would be a stroke of luck.

"It's your turn but you will never get the chance."

At that moment, a majestic voice, as if it had come from the vault of heaven, spread through the atmosphere. The echoes of that filled the sky.

Zi Ying was insanely shaking. His facial expression was sharp. The strongest cultivator of the Zi Government had finally arrived.

The crowd and Lin Feng raised their heads and looked towards the sky above the palace. There was a silhouette which looked imposing and majestic in the sky. From high above, that person was looking at the corpses of the former members of the Zi Government. His desire to kill reached the heavens.

"Xuan Qi layer."

The crowd was astonished. There was a rumor that the strongest person of the Zi Government wasn't Zi Ying at all but an old man at the Xuan Qi layer. At that moment, it seemed like the rumors turned out to be true.

That strong cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer had appeared, and he had appeared because of Lin Feng.

If he hadn't come, the Zi Government would have been completely annihilated by Lin Feng, he would have even killed the patriarch, Zi Ying.

A young man had managed to do all of this. The crowd had always thought that such a thing was impossible, even in their wildest dreams. Sometimes, some things in this world were even crazier than people could imagine.

That handsome young man in white clothes, in order to protect a beautiful woman, had come to the Zi Government and was killing everyone.

Only a man like him was qualified to marry such a beautiful and delicate woman like Duan Xin Ye. Zi Qiong could have never married her. He was nothing in comparison with Lin Feng. A single sword strike had been sufficient to kill him, he hadn't even been able to react.

At that moment, the cultivator of the Xuan Qi Layer was descending from the sky. Immediately after, he fell down in the corridor and stood at Zi Ying's side. He calmly looked at all the corpses on the ground.

"Alright, alright, alright."

That cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer was furious, he said the word "alright" thrice, raised his head and looked at Lin Feng. His eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Grand-Uncle." When Zi Ying saw the old man, he bowed in a very respectful way. A cold light flashed in his eyes. His grand uncle was a strong cultivator of the Xuan Qi Layer. Since he had come, Lin Feng was inevitably going to die.

That person didn't seem older than Zi Ying at all. He looked like he was the same as Zi Ying. The crowd didn't find it strange at all. The higher one's cultivation level was, the longer their lifespan became. Strong cultivators also looked younger. Extremely strong cultivators seemed to have incredible vigour and seemed like they would stay forever young.

In the continent of the Nine Clouds, there were some rumors that some people had cultivated to the level of immortality. Many cultivators wanted to become as strong as possible as it meant a longer life and possibly immortality.

Cultivation was always the most important thing for people in the continent.

"You still have the face to call me grand-uncle?"

The grand uncle groaned coldly. The people lying on the ground were some of the elites within the Zi Government, the new generation had almost been wiped out.

The only one left was Zi Xia. The Zi Government would be left without offspring.

"I made a mistake."

Zi Ying couldn't deny it, as the patriarch of the Zi Government, he had put them in an extremely critical situation. It was his responsibility. Even his own son had been killed.

"You will be punished for your mistakes but right now….."

The old man's voice was piercingly cold and he was staring at Lin Feng.

"You are so young and you have already broken through to the eighth Ling Qi layer. You could have had a brilliant future but now you are doomed to die here."

While talking, an incredible deadly Qi emerged from his body. The entire crowd started feeling cold.

"Lin Feng has broken through to the eighth Ling Qi layer and relying on his sword. He managed to make Zi Ying, who is at the peak of the ninth Ling Qi layer, retreat. How powerful!"

The crowd was astonished. They had never seen such an astounding young man.

"Oh really? I think that we should give it a try in order to find out whether or not I will die." said Lin Feng indifferently. His voice as calm as before, his heartbeat was steady and did not falter. Actually, Lin Feng had already broken through to the eighth Ling Qi layer. On that day when he penetrated into the earth fusion dimension, he had broken through to the eighth Ling Qi layer from the sixth Ling Qi layer with a single leap!

Before, when he didn't know how to use the earth fusion, he relied on other mediums to challenge stronger cultivators. At that moment, he knew how to fuse with the earth around him. Even though he was of the eighth Ling Qi layer, he could easily defeat ordinary cultivators of the ninth Ling Qi layer. If it had only been Zi Ying and his strange attack, Lin Feng would have already killed him.

"How insane."

The crowd was looking at Lin Feng and the old man facing each other. Lin Feng was facing a cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer and was willing to fight him.

"You're pretty reckless. I will show you that a cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer cannot be defeated by a cultivator of the Ling Qi layer."

The old man pulled up his sleeves and suddenly, grains of sand started flying through the air. Surprisingly, there was an extremely strong wind, as strong as a hurricane. It was whistling through the air.

"Cultivators of the Xuan Qi layer can control pure Qi. Pure Qi is the strength which can be borrowed from heaven and earth. It can then be condensed into a form of energy. It can easily kill cultivators of the Ling Qi layer as if they were insects. The difference is too large, there is no way out."

The old man raised his hand, the palm of his hand facing Lin Feng. He started absorbing purple pure Qi. It looked like a dazzling purple star.

Besides, the radiance of that Pure Qi wasn't an illusion. It was an incredible glowing brilliance. It was really the result of pure Qi. Its power was incredible.

Lin Feng started walking while holding his sword and pointing it towards the ground. It was diffusing a bright and cold light. It looked piercingly cold and fearless.

"I will try something new with my sword against your pure Qi then, we will both learn something."

Lin Feng sounded cold. The crowd was astonished. He definitely deserved to be called a genius. He was shockingly intelligent.

"You want to test your sword against me and teach me something?" said the old man while an evil smile appeared on his face. He had never heard a person of the Ling Qi layer say that they would try something new against a cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer. They usually just begged for mercy.

Lin Feng always did what he said though, even if it was insane, he still followed his heart.

"Well, you can try then."

The old man's hand shook. The light from the pure Qi being absorbed into the palm of his hand was dazzling to the eyes. Immediately after, he released it. The deadly purple star looked like pure destruction.

Even the crowd who wasn't in the covered corridor could feel the strength of the purple star.

"Sword of the Rising Sun!" Lin Feng quickly raised his sword high into the air. However, in the eyes of the people in the crowd, that movement looked slow and clear, like a sunrise.

That sword looked like the sun rising in the east. It slowly rose into the sky filling it with incredible power.

The crowd could not believe their eyes, They had the impression that they were really looking at the red sun slowly moving up into the sky. The Sword of the Rising Sun looked like a red rising sun.

"How beautiful. It looks like the rising sun." Zi Ling had the impression that she was dreaming. She whispered: "Sister, Lin Feng is the creator of that skill, he created it this morning while we watched the sunrise. This is how he came up with that skill."

In the morning, Zi Ling and Lin Feng had been observing the sunrise together. At that moment, she had even sighed while complaining that Lin Feng wasn't the person with whom she wished to share that moment with. However, at that moment, she was cherishing the memory.

She had the impression that she would never see such a skill again.

"A created skill?"

Zi Yi was shivering. Cultivators, including geniuses, usually learnt and practiced skills and techniques created by their ancestors, cultivators who could create skills were extremely rare, especially one so beautiful and inspiring. It looked like something that only a spiritually enlightened person could come up with and it was appearing in front of the crowd.

The purple light and the red light collided. An incredibly bright light filled the entire atmosphere almost causing the crowd to be blinded. Their eyes were very painful after seeing such a bright light. It seemed like all that power stayed within the air for a long time before it eventually dispersed and the light dimmed.

Lin Feng's silhouette appeared. He was holding his sword and he looked frivolous, natural and unrestrained.

"Your Sword of the Rising Sun, I really don't want to kill you… Unfortunately, you killed my family so I have to." said the old man. Even though the old man had broken through to the Xuan Qi layer, he was well aware that it was nothing exceptional. If Lin Feng continued practicing, he could easily become a really outstanding cultivator. Lin Feng would just need a few years before reaching a level higher than the old man. The Xuan Qi layer wasn't Lin Feng's final goal.

Some people loved Lin Feng while some others were jealous of him. However, the old man of the Zi Government had never seen such a talented young man. All the juniors of the Zi Government were far from being as strong as Lin Feng. He had always hoped that there would be a young genius in the Zi Government. Unfortunately, there had never been one and the first time that he saw such an incredible genius, it wasn't his offspring but an enemy of the Zi Government.

The old man wanted to slap Zi Ying repeatedly in the face. Instead of making friends with Lin Feng, he had become his enemy, how ignorant! Such a thing was unpardonable.

"Come on, attack." said Lin Feng sounding cold and detached.

"Alright, let's see what you have."

The old man also sounded calm. He started moving and in a flash, he landed in front of Lin Feng. His hand was enveloped in purple pure Qi which was already slashing towards Lin Feng's body.

The hearts of the people in the crowd were pounding. Someone like Lin Feng, who dared confront a cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer while at the Ling Qi layer, actually existed.

"Scorching Sword!"

Lin Feng said that in a low voice. An extremely resplendent light emerged from his sword. It was filled with endless explosive force. The light diffused by that sword was radiant and awe-inspiring. It was the light of a scorching sun. It illuminated everything. It was extremely powerful. That was the Scorching Sword.

"Pshhh… pshhh….."

Deadly Qi was burning around the sword. That attack was the result of Lin Feng's knowledge of cultivation. He had used his deadly Qi to create this skill.

The light emitted by that sword was as radiant as the sun and the sword moved at the speed of light.

"BOOM!"

A terrifying Qi filled the atmosphere. When the scorching sword approached, the old man of the Zi Government retreated. A cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer was retreating when facing Lin Feng. Surprisingly, he had moved back. However, it was only a small step backwards and then a side step.

"Dark Shadow!"

Lin Feng didn't stop his sword attack and he used the second level of the Deadly Cross Shadow, the Dark Shadow. His body vanished and transformed into a shadow. It seemed like he had disappeared.

Back in the days, when Lin Feng was fighting to save Duan Xin Ye, he had used his skill Dark Shadow skill but he was unable to transform into a perfect shadow. However, at that moment, since he knew how to fuse with the earth, when he used his Dark Shadow skill, his body really transformed into a perfect shadow, completely invisible. Only his terrifying strength was left.

"Purple Summit." whispered the old man.

When the old man sensed all of Lin Feng's strength, a hideous expression appeared on his face. An incredible purple light appeared, it was a purple light made of pure Qi.

"Pshhh…. pshhh…."

Lin Feng's sword penetrated into the pure Qi. The old man's facial expression slightly changed. His body was just like an illusion, he flickered and disappeared. He then landed down farther down the corridor. He had retreated a much larger distance this time. The old man of the Zi Government had, once again, moved back because of Lin Feng.

But Lin Feng's facial expression didn't reveal pride at all. He didn't chase after him. He turned around and looked at Zi Ying. Who was now much closer to Lin Feng than the old man. Lin Feng's eyes filled with murderous flames.

Zi Ying's facial expression changed drastically. His heart started pounding furiously.

Lin Feng's body moved once again, there was no longer anything to stop him.

Report chapter

At the foot of the Golden Zi Mountain, a group of armored-horses were galloping at full speed.

The group was composed of about thirty people. The majority of them was wearing bronze masks which covered their faces entirely; but once in a while, it was possible to notice they all had tense expressions. They were releasing strong Qi as they rode.

These horses were surprisingly, all Chi Xie armored-horses. They were people from the Xue Yue Country.

The person leading the group wasn't like all the others. Surprisingly, it was a girl, she looked delicate and was wearing white clothes. Even though a fine veil was covering her face, she looked holy and pure.

The way she moved her body gave the impression that she was floating through the air like a celestial spirit. It gave the impression that she was not of this world.

That woman at the front of the group, was Meng Qing. Her clothes were white like snow and she was floating in the air like a celestial being.

The group of Chi Xie cavalry was following Meng Qing. They were the Celestial Sword Chi Xie Unit.

Over the past days, after Lin Feng had travelled into the Mo Yue country, he had heard no news about the battle. After the battle, a group of Chi Xie cavalry followed Meng Qing and went looking for Lin Feng. They had been tracking him for days. By coincidence, they had learnt from the Zi Wei Mountain Village, that Lin Feng was at the Zi Government.

Besides, Meng Qing and the others had been galloping at full speed over that huge distance without rest.

At the same time, outside of the Zi Government, Lin Feng was standing in front of the entrance to the forbidden area. He had just made the old man retreat in the blink of an eye, but he didn't stop there. He had grabbed Duan Xin Ye's hand and had jumped towards Zi Ying carrying the princess at his side.

"Noooo…"

Zi Ying shouted extremely loudly. Zi Ying was the patriarch of the Zi Government Sect and he seemed to be pitifully weak when compared with Lin Feng. Lin Feng made him look like a weak cultivator who couldn't withstand a single attack. Besides, there had been less than a second between the moment when Lin Feng stopped fighting against the old man and the moment when he had appeared right in front of Zi Ying. It seemed like he could kill Zi Ying at any moment. Zi Ying's heart was filled with endless resentment.

He was the Patriarch of the Zi Government, he had reached the peak of the ninth Ling Qi layer and was respected in the entire region, there was nobody who wasn't reverent and respectful to him.

But at that moment, Lin Feng, a teenager who had come alone; had killed the members of the Zi Government and was treating him, Zi Ying, like he was nothing. He was moving to kill him while still fighting with the senior cultivator of the Zi Government.

A terrifying purple illusion emerged, Zi Ying's entire body was covered by the purple Qi of that illusion. He violently raised his fist with all the energy he had remaining.

"Sword of the Setting Sun!" He was holding his sword in the air and sliced through the atmosphere towards the ground. His sword was not dazzling, though, it gave the impression of desolation and loneliness.

That hot-blooded genius, that majestically strong cultivator, also had moments of loneliness and desolation, moments similar to a setting sun.

Sword of the Setting Sun was filled with a deadly and lonely Qi.

Lin Feng's Sword of the Rising Sun was swift and violent. His Scorching Sword could illuminate everything, but it also destroyed everything it illuminated.

Lin Feng's Sword of the Setting Sun seemed like it refused to be flashy, there was nothing beautiful about it, no matter how dazzling the sword used to be, it all faded into darkness.

Zi Ling could feel the power of the sword. He used to enjoy a great reputation throughout the whole region and at that moment, he was being humiliated by Lin Feng. It was the opposite of what he was used to.

Zi Ying's heart was pounding. The brilliance of his attack was fading. It seemed like under Lin Feng's sword, anything that gave out a bright and flashy light was being suppressed.

When Lin Feng's Sword of the Setting Sun reached the ground, Zi Ying slowly collapsed. The hearts of the people in the crowd were pounding.

The Patriarch of the Zi Government had been killed by a single sword strike.

"How strong…" People in the crowd felt that they were paralyzed. Zi Ying had also been killed by Lin Feng. What a powerful young man.

"BOOM!"

An incredible purple light emerged around the old man's body and filled the air.

Lin Feng had made him retreat and in that moment, he killed Zi Ying. In front of the old man's eyes, Lin Feng had killed the Patriarch of the Zi Government, Zi Ying.

It wasn't only about Lin Feng having killed his offspring, it was also a shocking humiliation, Lin Feng made the old man seem completely useless.

"I will dismember you into a thousand pieces." The old man's face looked hideous and piercingly cold. He then jumped back into the corridor. The entire corridor was shaking as if it was going to collapse from the pressure he emitted.

"Dismember me into a thousand pieces?" Lin Feng's facial expression was cold. He then continued: "When you came, you said I would never have my turn, I could not kill him because I was dead already."

"You will be buried here with him." said the old man while taking another step. The ground shook making Lin Feng's heart shake as well. The old man was furious, the old man of the Xuan Qi layer was enraged.

"Well, once again, we will have to see what the final result will be."

Lin Feng put Duan Xin Ye behind him and moved forwards releasing his battle energy.

Everybody who was present could clearly and distinctly sense Lin Feng's battle energy. Even though he was facing a strong cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer, he was not backing down. He was truly fearless. There was only battle energy burning around him and his heart was filled with ardour.

This was a true cultivator. He was extremely determined. How could he not be strong when he had such determination? Lin Feng hadn't become that strong only because he had high natural talent, it was also thanks to his willpower and determination.

"Alright." shouted the old man when he sensed Lin Feng's battle energy. He then started running and an incredible energy emerged from his fist. Purple pure Qi rushed insanely through the air straight towards Lin Feng.

"Deadly Sword."

Lin Feng was using his deadly sword while in fusion with the earth, it was thus infinitely stronger than before. That sword was releasing deadly Qi when in perfect fusion with the energy of the earth.

"BOOM!"

The purple pure Qi and Lin Feng's sword collided. An incredible force oppressed Lin Feng's sword. The pressure from his sword felt like he was colliding with a mountain. It was extremely heavy.

Cultivators of the Xuan Qi layer used genuine pure Qi, which was condensed and used directly in their attacks, this was infinitely more powerful than the pure Qi used by the lower layers of cultivation.

The old man shouted furiously, he had also used as much of his pure Qi as possible in his attack. Even though it was only one attack, Lin Feng hadn't been able to resist. His forearm was severely injured under the pressure and his body had been blown backwards.

"You overestimate your own abilities." said the old man coldly. Immediately after, he started running and the ground trembled under his feet.

The purple pure Qi around the old man's body transformed into a spiral shape and shot from the old man's fist. He launched another insanely powerful fist attack straight towards Lin Feng.

"BOOM!"

Another explosive collision. Lin Feng groaned in pain. He grabbed Duan Xin Ye's hand and moved backwards. The old man looked like a terrifying purple demon.

"This is the difference between the Xuan Qi layer and the Ling Qi layer. They cannot fight each other. Between the Ling Qi layer and the Xuan Qi layer, there are too many changes within the body." thought Lin Feng. Battles were important to gain experience, battling against a cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer was also a way to challenge himself and gain experience.

He would sooner or later try and break through to the Xuan Qi layer. The experience of how a Xuan Qi layer opponent fights would be useful after breaking through.

"Whatever, it would be bad if we let it just end with only this."

A tremendous amount of battle energy started burning around Lin Feng's body. He was fixedly staring at the old man.

"No need to look at me that way. I am at the Xuan Qi layer, you have no chance. You will not even be able to touch me, you can only wait to die."

The old man's voice was cold and indifferent. The purple pure Qi surrounding his body was getting denser and denser.

"Oh, is that so?" replied Lin Feng in a low voice and then suddenly disappeared. Dark Shadow… he transformed into a shadow.

"Do you think that will help you?" said the old man while smiling coldly. The senses of a cultivator at the Xuan Qi layer were extremely developed. Even though Lin Feng's skill was extremely powerful, after all, it was only powered by the strength of the Ling Qi layer. It had not reached its maximum potential.

A rumbling noise spread through the atmosphere, which was illuminated by purple Qi. However, at that moment, a sword immediately pierced into that purple Qi. A dark shadow was holding that sword.

"Give me your sword."

The old man was smiling coldly. He then shook his hand and in a flash, the purple Qi wrapped around Lin Feng's sword and pressed it against Lin Feng's throat. There was nowhere left for him to go.

However, Lin Feng suddenly appeared in front of the old man, he then said in a cold tone: "Who said that a cultivator of the Ling Qi layer couldn't hurt a cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer?"

"Deadly Cross Shadow."

When Lin Feng used this skill, he transformed his body into a sword which could pierce heaven and earth.

He raised both of his hands into the air and an incredibly bright cross appeared. It was terrifyingly quick, so quick it was impossible to believe. A cross was moving through the air above the crowd, it seemed like it was something ancient, but the cross had only just appeared.

When Lin Feng finished, the old man understood that the situation had become extremely dangerous. In a flash, he released his purple pure Qi and started to move backwards but it was too late. The purple pure Qi in front of him was extinguished under Lin Feng's Deadly Cross Shadow. The cross collided with the old man and his clothes tore apart, his flesh was torn and there was a huge cross-shaped mark across his torso. It had the same brilliance as the cross that rushed through the air. However, the sight was horrible, his flesh and bones were visible, the wound was terrifying.

If he had been even a little bit weaker or reacted slightly late, the old man would have died. That Cross Shadow almost pierced through his chest and killed him.

The crowd was also looking at the old man's chest. They could clearly see the bloody cross which was gushing with blood. They were in shock.

"Who said that a cultivator of the Ling Qi layer couldn't hurt one of the Xuan Qi layer."

If Lin Feng said that, it was because he believed otherwise and that he knew that he had the power to prove it. Relying on his strength of the Ling Qi layer, not only had he hurt the old man, but he had actually severely injured him. He had nearly killed him. The crowd found the whole situation hard to believe.

The old man lowered his head and could clearly see the cross mark and the blood from his chest. The old man's facial expression was so hideous that no words could describe it. Pure Qi emerged, the blood flowing out of his wound solidified and his wound was instantly sealed. The old man raised his head and looked at Lin Feng. His eyes were filled with endless hatred. He had never wanted to kill someone so much before meeting Lin Feng.

"I want to dismantle your entire body piece by piece before killing you."

The old man's voice sounded extremely evil.

"Hmph."

Lin Feng groaned coldly. He moved back to his initial position, grabbed Duan Xin Ye's hand, then slightly moved back again and at that moment the old man's facial expression drastically changed: "Don't you dare!"

At that moment, behind Lin Feng, there was the gigantic statue which was where the entrance into the forbidden area was hidden. It was still open from the previous rituals.

When Lin Feng saw the old man's facial expression, he smiled coldly. He then moved like a shadow and disappeared, he grabbed Duan Xin Ye and both of them immediately vanished, they were both thrown into the forbidden area.

The old man's facial expression grew darker. Lin Feng had entered the forbidden area.

The old man's silhouette flickered and he immediately tried to follow them but when he tried to enter the forbidden area, an extremely fierce sword energy emerged. His body was blown backwards.

A loud rumbling noise filled the air. The door of the forbidden area closed itself. The old man was astonished.

"Kacha!" The old man's hands emitted cracking noises as he clenched his fists. He was fixedly staring at the entrance to the forbidden area. The thing he feared the most had happened.

A moment before, when he was near Lin Feng, he didn't make it obvious, but he tried to make Lin Feng move back away from the forbidden area. He had done this so that nobody would suspect anything about the forbidden area. He didn't want to let Lin Feng enter it but in the end, Lin Feng had noticed.

If the opponent hadn't been Lin Feng, he wouldn't have been that worried but Lin Feng had extremely high natural talent and could already injure him. If Lin Feng stayed in the forbidden area for a few years without coming out, he would never have the opportunity to capture Lin Feng. Besides, with his high natural talent, Lin Feng, after having stayed for a few years, would certainly be able to kill the old man.

In the forbidden area, there were mystical objects. Even though the Zi Government had never really understood these things, maybe Lin Feng, as talented as he was, would be able to understand them and maybe then, he wouldn't even need years.

The old man was still in front of the entrance to the forbidden area, remaining motionless. He remained silent while staring at the door. He was lost in thought.

The crowd didn't hurry to leave either. Actually, they were all very curious to know what the forbidden area was hiding. Was it really a graveyard for their ancestors?

The Zi Government had a great reputation in the entire region, so nobody would have dared to force their way into the forbidden area. Besides, the other cultivators of the Xuan Qi layer in the region were not that interested in the forbidden area of the Zi Government.

After all, with their strength, the Zi Government could only enjoy such a reputation within a limited area, that's all. They were nothing in comparison with the genuinely strong cultivators of Mo Yue.

Inside of the forbidden area, the air was thick and oppressive.

The atmosphere was entirely silent. The silence was somewhat dreadful as well. There was a dark purple light shining on the scenery.

A purple light filled the entire atmosphere of the forbidden area.

Duan Xin Ye was firmly and tightly holding Lin Feng's hand as if she feared that Lin Feng might let go. However, her beautiful eyes were filled with curiosity, while observing the forbidden area.

She was slightly scared but not much because Lin Feng was by her side.

"Xin Ye, have the people of the Zi Government told you anything about the forbidden area?" asked Lin Feng.

"Never, I almost never talked to them." said Duan Xin Ye while shaking her head.

"Let's go deeper inside and see." said Lin Feng while pulling on Duan Xin Ye's hand. The purple light enabled them to see their surroundings.

The two of them walked for a while and then, suddenly, the purple light became much brighter. Everything which was surrounding them could now clearly be seen.

The ground under Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye's feet was made of clean and well cut stone. The walls were on both side were clear cut stone of high quality. While they were moving forwards, the path was getting larger and larger.

After a while, Duan Xin Ye and Lin Feng were astonished when they saw what was in front of them.

There was a lake but the water of that lake was purple. There were small ripples unceasingly forming on the top.

That lake was only small. They could still see the other side in the distance from where they were. It was brightly lit on the other side too. They could see beautiful stone from a gigantic palace.

"There's a purple lake and a palace."

Lin Feng was astonished. He was fixedly staring at the lake. Surprisingly, it looked like Zi Ying's spirit. What surprised Lin Feng was the water which seemed like it was boiling and foaming.

"Let's go closer and see." said Lin Feng to Duan Xin Ye. Duan Xin Ye slightly nodded. Lin Feng tightly hold Duan Xin Ye's hand and then jumped over to the next side aiming to land in front of the palace.

However, at the moment when Lin Feng was jumping over the lake, an incredible sound spread through the air.

Suddenly, the lake seemed to rise into the air, whirlpools appeared and sucked Lin Feng and Duan Ye into the water.

Everything was happening so fast. They were dumbstruck.

Lin Feng was astonished and shocked, it seemed like the purple lake had a life of its own. It had immediately caught them and trapped them inside it. Lin Feng would have never thought that such a thing was possible.

Duan Xin Ye shouted in surprise. She was firmly holding Lin Feng's hand as if she was going to die if she didn't. Both of them were swallowed by the lake.

"ARRRRGHHHHH." at that moment, the lake seemed to be excited and roared loudly. Purple light was unceasingly filling the atmosphere moving straight to Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye.

At that moment, the clothes of Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye's disappeared and melted in the lake. They were astonished to see that their clothes were actually melting. In a flash, their clothes had entirely melted and disappeared. Fortunately, their entire bodies were completely submerged in the water, otherwise, the situation would have been awkward as well as dangerous.

The situation was so strange that even if the situation was awkward, they didn't have time to pay attention to that.

Duan Xin Ye and Lin Feng only had their heads out of the water. They were tightly holding each others' hand. At that moment, the purple liquid moved towards them and penetrated into their bodies and spread through their entire body.

The purple liquid was then penetrating into their legs, arms and bones. It was unceasingly penetrating into their body as if it wanted to occupy all the available space. It seemed like the liquid could enter from every opening.

"Lin Feng, I'm in pain!" Duan Xin Ye's face was deathly pale. She had the feeling her body was going to swell and explode. She was firmly holding Lin Feng's hand and then, finally, she felt that the pressure in her arms was decreasing.

Lin Feng looked gloomy. He was also in a great deal of pain. That liquid was attacking his body from the inside.

At that moment, an incredible and colossal Qi emerged. Illusions appeared behind Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye's bodies, surprisingly, some small black doors appeared.

There were three doors. They looked like they had existed since the beginning of time.

"Sealed Doors!"

Lin Feng was astonished. These were sealed doors just like those that the members of the Duan Clan had with their spirit, the blood spirit.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The three doors vibrated and then it seemed like Duan Xin Ye's body was sealed by the sealed doors, as if they were sealing everything. The sealed door Qi was spreading through the atmosphere and surprisingly the purple liquid stopped penetrating her body. It was slowly being forced out of her body.

The sealed doors prevented the purple liquid from flowing into her body.

Duan Xin Ye slowly closed her eyes but she was still breathing smoothly. Lin Feng slightly loosened his grip on her hand. She had just fainted, it was nothing serious. However, the purple liquid was still penetrating into Lin Feng's body and it was extremely painful.

However, at that moment, what seemed to be a familiar sensation invaded his body which made Lin Feng shiver. Behind his back, an illusion appeared.

It was his snake spirit that had appeared behind his back. The little snake was sound asleep.

"Roooaaar."

At that moment, his snake spirit roared loudly, the noise sounding like a dragon chant.

The snake opened its mouth and turned into an endless black hole swallowing everything in its way.

An endless quantity of purple liquid was being swallowed by the snake. The stomach of the snake was growing bigger and bigger. Immediately after, a loud roar spread through the air again. Suddenly, additional heads were sprouting from the body of the snake. They all roared and swallowed more purple liquid at the same time.

The purple liquid was an even darker shade of purple when absorbed by the snake.

"Sssss…."

"Sssss….."

"Ssssss….."

The chant of the dragons was unceasingly spreading through the atmosphere as if it was echoing from ancient times. At that moment, Lin Feng's snake had become gigantic. It didn't even look like a snake anymore, it looked like a dragon. In the Continent of the Nine Clouds, it was known for some dragons to have multiple heads, his snake had six heads.

At that moment, Lin Feng's heart was violently pounding, was this his snake spirit?

In comparison with before, his snake was completely different, it had completely changed.

His snake used to be small, it looked very weak.

But at that moment, it looked like an ancient and powerful dragon. It looked brutal, strong and majestic.

"Ssssss, ssssss….."

The six heads of the snake were singing the chant of the dragons. The snake then rose all of its heads and uttered a long roar as if it was looking down at all the other living creatures.

As far as the purple lake was concerned, it had completely vanished without a trace. It had been completely swallowed by the six headed dragon.

Lin Feng's snake spirit had absorbed the entire purple lake as if there was nothing in the world that a dragon couldn't eat.

Lin Feng couldn't imagine how his snake spirit has transformed to look like a dragon. Even though it couldn't be described as gigantic, it was still been able to swallow the entire purple lake. Lin Feng couldn't believe his eyes.

Lin Feng raised his hand and saw a purple light flashing around it. At that moment, Lin Feng's purple energy was much stronger than that of Zi Ying.

"My spirit transformed itself again, but it's much stronger than my previous ice-spirit. That's a good thing."

Lin Feng was slightly smiling but suddenly, he noticed that a naked young woman was in front of him. She looked so lithe and graceful. Lin Feng was filled with endless desire.

Duan Xin Ye was in front of him and was completely naked.

Her skin was delicate and white, the same could be said about the other parts of her body. In a flash, Lin Feng felt like he was overcome with a fever.

He lowered his head and looked at his own body. Lin Feng had the impression that his cheeks were burning. He was also naked. The purple lake had melted their clothes.

Lin Feng turned his head away. He couldn't look at Duan Xin Ye anymore. He feared that he wouldn't be able to control himself if he did. Even though his determination and willpower as a cultivator was extremely strong, Lin Feng was a virgin in his previous life and was still a virgin in his new life and an incredibly beautiful woman was naked before him. His heart was violently and brutally pounding.

Lin Feng quickly removed clothes from his Na stone. It was good that he had his Na stone, otherwise he would not have had any clothes.

Lin Feng put on his clothes and then walked towards Duan Xin Ye, he then threw clothes over her to cover her body and then finally dared look again.

However, Lin Feng suddenly saw two beautiful eyes that were wide open in shock. She wasn't blinking at all. She was fixedly staring at him. At that moment, Lin Feng wished he could find a hole to escape this awkward situation.

Duan Xin Ye then looked at her body and realized what had happened. Her face became bright red, even her ears had completely turned red.

"I didn't look on purpose." said Lin Feng who felt really awkward. When he saw Duan Xin Ye's red face, he felt even more awkward.

Duan Xin Ye sighed. She was sitting on the ground holding the clothes in front of her body to hide herself. Each of her movements to cover herself was enough to make a man go insane.

"Do you have more clothes?" asked Duan Xin Ye shyly. Even though Lin Feng had a good sense of hearing, his mind was still in a dazed state.

He just slightly nodded and took out more clothes out from the Na Stone and handed them to Duan Xin Ye. He then said: "I'm going over there to see what is inside the palace." While speaking, Lin Feng abruptly turned around and walked towards the bright light in the front of the palace.

Duan Xin Ye looked shy. She was blankly staring at Lin Feng's back for a while and then a smile appeared on her face. She looked very sweet. Her smiled would have made anyone's heart race.

Lin Feng didn't see Duan Xin Ye's sweet smile. He continued until he arrived inside the palace. He was stupefied by what he saw.

The palace was extremely spacious and brightly lit. Lin Feng didn't know what material had been used to build it, but it looked like a luxurious palace that was built in ancient times.

At the front of the palace was a sculpture. It was a motionless silhouette meditating on the ground. A purple light was surrounding the statue. Beside the statue, there was a snake in a curled position. Uncurled, that snake, from head to tail, probably had a length of sixty meters. It was gigantic.

Besides, to Lin Feng's left, there was a stone slab and on that stone slab was a corpse. That corpse was already a skeleton. On the side of that skeleton was a book.

Lin Feng walked towards the skeleton and grabbed the book to see what was written inside. The book seemed to be a dairy.

"My name is Zi Qian, I am a famous person in Cangzhou. I unintentionally came to this nameless mountain and entered this place. I discovered that it is a graveyard for extremely strong cultivators…….."

"Graveyard?" Lin Feng's pupils shrank. This place was a graveyard for extremely strong cultivators?

His heart was pounding. He then continued reading the small book in which Zi Qian had written the tales from his life.

So this place was found by Zi Qian ,the first ancestor of the Zi Government.

Besides, this place was a graveyard for extremely strong cultivators. This place was so full of power that it was a forbidden area for other cultivators.

That purple lake was surprisingly human blood. It contained the strength and power of a blood spirit. The blood could penetrate into people's bodies and would dissolve their bodies from the inside. The process was so the blood could dissolve the body of the host it entered. The powerful blood in the lake was also hereditary. The direct descendants of the Zi Government all possessed a purple spirit but were actually all very weak. They became much stronger only after having absorbed some of the purple blood from the lake, it was a kind of baptism. Only after that baptism, their spirit would be in harmony with their body. It also developed their natural talent and accelerated their cultivation.

The spirit of the Zi Government members could also be classified as a blood spirit but their ancestors had only relied on the blood from the purple lake to make their spirit become the purple spirit. Even after having undergone a baptism in the purple lake, their spirit could never be as powerful as the blood spirits which could be directly inherited. For example, Duan Xin Ye had inherited her spirit from the blood of her ancestors. All the Duan Clan members had inherited the blood spirit and gained strength from it.

The Zi Government members could only undergo the baptism of the purple lake on the day of their wedding. As a rule, that was the only time when they could enter the forbidden area. This was also Zi Qian's choice. That was the only way to enjoy its benefits. Entering the forbidden area as a young adult was best because if a person was too young they wouldn't be able to endure the pain, while older people would have wasted time and lost their potential already.

All the members of the Zi Government wanted to undergo the baptism of the purple lake. However, Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye's bodies had both rejected it. Duan Xin Ye's body had rejected it because she possessed an extremely strong and powerful blood spirit whose sealed doors had prevented her body from absorbing the purple liquid.

As far as Lin Feng was concerned, the purple liquid had been entirely swallowed by his snake spirit. His snake spirit had absorbed all the strength of the purple blood.

Lin Feng turned around and looked the huge snake beneath the statue. Lin Feng was shaking.

It wasn't a statue, it was a real snake……………

The purple lake was actually formed from the blood of the snake.

"What a strong and powerful beast! Its blood could fill an entire lake and it harnesses the strength of blood. Besides, it's been there for so many years and the blood was still alive."

Outside of the forbidden area, the crowd was still waiting patiently. The old man of the Zi Government was waiting, but the door leading to the forbidden area remained closed, not moving at all.

Not only the old man but everybody who belonged to the Zi Government was gathered there. They were all waiting for Lin Feng, the corridor was packed with strong cultivators.

A rumbling noise could be heard and the ground started shaking. The crowd was astonished. They looked down the mountain and saw a group of silhouettes riding armored-horses. They were galloping at full speed and looked extremely majestic.

The leader of the group was a woman, she was wearing white clothes and her face was covered with a fine veil. Even though they could only see her silhouette, everybody was fascinated by that woman.

"There is another incredibly beautiful woman." thought people in the crowd while their heartbeats accelerated. They didn't know who these people were and why they were coming straight towards the Zi Government.

Their horses neighed and while looking full of vitality, the horses all jumped directly into the corridor. They looked majestic, imposing and awe-inspiring.

"How impressive! Could it be that they are lost?" The crowd was stupefied. Surprisingly, these people had directly entered the corridor.

Everybody started looking at the woman who was leading the group. They also didn't know who she was and why she had come. They really wanted to see her face to see if she was comparable with Duan Xin Ye, or at least, to see what she what was like beneath her veil.

"Where is Lin Feng?" said the young woman. The crowd was astonished. She had come because of Lin Feng. Once again, everything was because of Lin Feng!

"Where is Lin Feng?" said Meng Qing. Her voice sounded cold. The woman was like an iceberg, cold and unmoving.

"Huh?"

The old man slowly turned around and looked at the young girl who was acting arrogantly. He then said coldly: "Why are you looking for Lin Feng?"

"Where is Lin Feng?" asked Meng Qing again. Her voice was still very cold. She didn't answer the old man's question and ignored him. At that moment, all she wanted to know was where Lin Feng was.

The Celestial Sword unit also looked at the old man. At that moment, the old man felt their Qi filling the atmosphere and oppressing him.

"Hmph!"

The old man pulled up his sleeves and his facial expression looked piercingly-cold. Not so long before, Lin Feng had slaughtered his family. Lin Feng left a cross-shaped mark on the old man's chest, humiliating him and at that moment, another group of insane people had come looking for Lin Feng. The old man felt completely humiliated.

"I killed Lin Feng." said the old man coldly. A group of teenagers dared to act so arrogantly, that angered the old man.

"You killed him?" repeated Meng Qing, her heart was pounding.

"Indeed, I killed him. Everybody here watched and cheered as I killed him." said the old man while smiling coldly.

Meng Qing remained silent and then suddenly a murderous light flashed through her eyes. These cold and expressionless eyes had revealed emotion for the first time.

Her body started shaking and shivering as if she had just heard a terrible horror story.

The Celestial Sword unit remained silent as well.

A tremendous thunder spread through the atmosphere and an incredibly bright light filled the air around the Celestial Sword unit. An endless quantity of Qi emerged and created a hurricane. At that moment, the entire crowd had the feeling that they were suffocating from the pressure.

"How strong! The weakest person of that group is at the third Ling Qi layer. What kind of people are they? What about Lin Feng? Who is he really?"

When the crowd felt that oppressive Qi, their hearts started pounding.

"You will all die!"

An incredibly loud and mighty voice filled the air. The powerful Qi spread through the air. The Chi Xie armored-cavalry started rampaging.

Blood filled the air. The Chi Xie cavalry rushed through the crowd and in a flash, the entire palace had become a bloodbath. They killed everyone without hesitation.

Horrible shrieks filled the air. Blood was continuously filling the air.

Meng Qing was staring at the sky. Nobody knew what she was thinking.

Sometimes she didn't even know what she was thinking.

She only knew that her heart felt painful, extremely painful.

Her experience of life was very limited. She had been in the outside world for a very short time. She used to live alone with her mother on the Black Wind Mountain.

Someday, under a bright moon, Lin Feng appeared on a stone at the foot of a mountain. He had then taken her and shown her the outside world.

At that moment, Lin Feng filled her memories and thoughts. She could see Lin Feng when he was angry, when he was fighting, when he looked natural and unrestrained, but also when he smiled and giggled at her.

A teardrop fell from her cheek onto the ground. Her thoughts were only of Lin Feng.

Meng Qing usually never showed her emotions, but at that moment, she was crying. Her heart felt so incredibly painful.

At that moment, the old man saw the Chi Xie troops killing the members of the Zi Government. His facial expression became ice-cold. A purple Qi emerged as he jumped up in the air.

However, at the moment when he tried to attack, an extremely piercing coldness enveloped his body and blocked him.

That coldness was piercing through to his bones.

Not only the old man, but everybody else could feel that immense coldness. It seemed like the entire world was about to freeze.

The fog in the air gradually solidified and snowflakes started falling from the sky.

The atmosphere was freezing.

"How cold."

The crowd was shaking from head to toe. Immediately after, they looked at the young woman, whose clothes were as white as snow. At that moment, Meng Qing was really like an iceberg. She wanted to freeze everything, including her own heart.

"Die………"

Meng Qing's voice was low as it resonated in the entire atmosphere.

A hurricane then emerged in the air. It was surrounding Meng Qing and her white clothes were fluttering.

At that moment, the fine veil on her face flew away in the wind. It flew far away, revealing her beautiful face.

At that moment, it seemed like time had stopped.

Her beauty was breathtaking to the extent that people didn't dare look at her.

She was incredibly beautiful, she was the incarnation of beauty.

They had all thought that Duan Xin Ye was extremely beautiful and nobody could rival her beauty, but at that moment, the beautiful girl wearing white clothes, had appeared. She looked like a celestial being. She looked like an ice goddess. She made the people around her feel worthless.

There was such a beautiful creature in the world, that was a catastrophe for all other human beings.

When Zi Ling and her sister saw Meng Qing, they felt infinitely inferior, especially Zi Yi, she had the feeling that she was absolutely worthless.

"She came to look for Lin Feng, what is the nature of their relationship?" whispered Zi Ling. Duan Xin Ye was already very beautiful and also in love with Lin Feng, now, another extremely beautiful woman had appeared and was looking for Lin Feng.

Meng Qing had jumped from her horse up into the air and in a flash landed in front of the old man.

The old man was also astonished by Meng Qing's beauty, but what astonished him the most was her strength. He had the sensation that his entire body was about to freeze and even his soul could freeze.

He was regretting that he underestimated these young cultivators and said that he killed Lin Feng…….

He released some purple pure Qi and shouted like a madman. He wanted to attack with all his power.

"Frozen Heart." said Meng Qing in a low voice. She raised a finger. The old man was astonished and shaking from head to toe. Blood immediately splashed from his mouth.

One attack had been enough to severely injure him.

When the crowd saw that, they were all shocked and felt despair in their hearts. They were all blankly staring at Meng Qing. Not only was Meng Qing extremely beautiful, but her power was also more monstrous than that of Lin Feng.

Meng Qing released piercingly-cold ice Qi. That ice Qi came from the depths of her body, it seemed like an endless powerful Qi was being released.

The old man's purple pure Qi was frozen solid. Immediately after, the energy around his body was also frozen. Then, the coldness immediately penetrated into his body. He was entirely frozen, from head to toe. His body was covered with a layer of ice. He was buried in ice.

Then, her soft hand slapped against his face.

"BOOM!"

The old man's body flew through the air and crashed against the wall of the palace. The ice enveloping his body was smashed into pieces. After that, a huge amount of blood gushed from his mouth.

He had a dull and humiliated look in his eyes. The old man had never thought that he would get so badly beaten, especially by a young woman.

The old man looked at the crowd below. The Chi Xie troops were, massacring the people of the Zi Government, it was a pure one sided massacre.

"The Zi Government is defeated, this is a crushing defeat."

The old man felt hopeless and desperate. Because he said one lie and underestimated a small group of young people, the Zi Government was being annihilated and its people slaughtered.

The old man's pride was being trampled.

"BOOM!"

A fist full of ice crashed into his body. Around Meng Qing's body, there were icicles which contained deadly ice Qi. They were floating around her body. If it landed on the old man's body, he would end up gravely injured.

The old man was blown away and crashed onto the wall of the palace once again. The old man looked absolutely hopeless.

"He hasn't died! Lin Feng hasn't died! He has entered into the forbidden area."

The old man shouted.

When Meng Qing heard that, her body stopped shaking. Immediately after, she looked at the crowd down the corridor and said coldly: "Speak."

That one word was clear to the crowd and was their only salvation. If they didn't speak the truth, they would all be massacred.

"He hasn't died! He has entered into the forbidden area!"

Everybody started to shout one after the other, agreeing with the old man. Meng Qing, whose heart was broken, suddenly felt relieved. She took a deep breath.

"Can you let me off now?" asked the old man who was begging Meng Qing not to kill him. He was terrified of this young woman.

"It's too late." said Meng Qing while shaking her head. Cold Qi surrounded the old man's body. He was shaking from head to toe. Meng Qing's silhouette vanished and her fist immediately crashed onto the old man's body. It released an endless amount of cold energy. It had the power to freeze everything, including lives.

The old man's body was entirely frozen, his eyes were closed and immediately after, he fell from the air, silently and breathless.

The old man of the Zi Government, a strong cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer, had been killed.

At the same time, the battle within the corridor was already finished. The Zi Government members that had gathered inside the corridor were annihilated.

The crowd was blankly gazing into the distance and remained silent. The Zi Government enjoyed an influential reputation in the entire region and in a single day, it had been annihilated, because they made enemies of one person: Lin Feng.

Meng Qing landed back onto the ground. She looked imposing and domineering. Cold Qi was surrounding her body. That cold Qi transformed into a brilliant aura. Meng Qing's body was covered by a layer of ice, all the people who were near her had the impression that they were going to freeze if they stayed close, so they all moved back. Even the Chi Xie troops were moving away.

"She's so cold." thought many people when they saw her. Only Lin Feng could give birth to feelings from such a cold heart like that of Meng Qing.

Meng Qing moved in front of the statue and said coldly: "Is this the entrance to the forbidden area?"

"Indeed, this is the entrance of the forbidden area of the Zi Government." said some people from the crowd while nodding. Nobody dared speak without being spoken to, they were afraid of offending Meng Qing and the others. If they got angry again, the remaining crowd would suffer the same fate as the people of the Zi Government.

Meng Qing was extremely strong, she easily killed the old man so she could kill them even more easily.

Meng Qing was looking at the entrance of the forbidden area. She slightly raised her hand. She condensed some cold Qi onto the palm of her hand, immediately after, she rushed forward and insanely bombarded the door with the palm of her hand.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

The ground was unceasingly shaking and the sound was echoing through the atmosphere. The door of the forbidden area, was still closed. The statue hadn't moved at all either.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

Meng Qing was unceasingly bombarding the entrance of the forbidden area. She looked as cold as before. Her facial expression hadn't changed at all.

Finally, after having tried many times, Meng Qing gave up. She turned around and asked the crowd: "How do I open that door?"

"It requires the blood of a direct descendant from the Zi Government. You need to put some blood in the hole of the statue and then it will open, but now the Zi Government is already……" said a person in the crowd. Immediately after, that person looked at the corpses on the ground. The direct descendants of the Zi Government had all been killed. There wasn't a single member left alive.

"Blood."

Meng Qing looked pensive. She looked at the old man, waved her hand and ice penetrated into the old man's corpse. Frozen blood was removed from the corpse.

Meng Qing waved her hand again and then the frozen blood moved into the hole of the statue. The blood melted in a flash, but as before, nothing happened.

Meng Qing looked pensive. She looked at the person who had just spoken. That person suddenly sensed that his body had gotten very rigid. That beautiful woman, who looked like a celestial being could really make other people freeze with only a glance. Common people like them couldn't touch her, they could only enjoy looking at her from a distance.

"Maybe the door will not open itself again. Otherwise, after Lin Feng went inside; the grand-uncle of the Zi Government would have chased him inside, he wouldn't have waited outside." explained the person in the crowd and continued: "Besides, all the people of the Zi Government went into the forbidden area previously, nothing happened to them, they came back without outside assistance, maybe they control it from inside."

"How much time did the people of the Zi Government spend inside?" asked Meng Qing. When she heard that nothing happened to the people who went inside previously, she suddenly felt even more relieved. Nothing bad would happen to Lin Feng, that was the most important thing.

"I'm not sure about that. Some months, some spent years."

"Months, years…." whispered Meng Qing. She turned around and said to the Chi Xie troops: "If you do not want to wait, you can leave."

All of them remained silent and motionless. None of them moved even an inch. They looked like statues.

The rest of the crowd was astonished yet again, who was Lin Feng really for so many people to be willing to wait months and possibly even years without complaining?

In the middle of the forbidden area, Lin Feng didn't know what was happening outside. He was standing motionless while looking at the statue.

Lin Feng obviously understood that statue, like the snake was actually a body. That person was dead, he wasn't breathing and his body hadn't decomposed, therefore, he just looked like a statue.

Duan Xin Ye was standing behind Lin Feng and was looking at the man, which seemed to be reigning over the palace.

At that moment, Duan Xin Ye and Lin Feng's minds were moved into another world. High in the sky, there was a silhouette riding a ferocious beast, that beast was a hundred meter long purple dragon. It was breathing out purple Qi and its breath caused the clouds to dissolve. It looked extremely powerful.

In the sky, there was an endless storm of lightning. This lightning was purple and contained deadly Qi. The purple light was revolving around the body of the person and the dragon.

That person looked like a celestial being and was extremely majestic.

He was travelling through the clouds, he was an extremely strong cultivator. He looked like he was dominating the entire world beneath his feet. He didn't say any superfluous words. He was just bathing in the clouds.

When Lin Feng became aware of what was going on in his mind, his heart started pounding extremely violently. It seemed like the statue like man, a moment ago, opened its eyes and invaded their minds to show them these images.

He was a really strong cultivator. At that moment, Lin Feng didn't count as a strong cultivator. On the path of cultivation, he still had a lot of work to do.

At that moment, the strong cultivator in the sky turned around. Lin Feng's body started shaking. He only had the impression that two eyes were staring through his soul.

"Finally, I've always been waiting for someone to come into my world." said a majestic voice. Lin Feng's heart was violently pounding. Finally, there was someone……

He was still conscious, he wasn't dead…

"No need to act so strange. The soul is one of the most mysterious things in our world. Even if the flesh and muscles die, the soul can remain. Even though my body died a long time ago, my soul remained because I was extremely strong. My consciousness has been alive all this time but only until today, after that, I will disappear."

Flesh and bones died but the soul hadn't.

Lin Feng was surprised and was wondering what cultivation level this person had.

Besides, when listening to the man's voice, Lin Feng had the impression of a lonely hero who would no longer see his glorious days. He was doomed to eternally disappear.

"Since the first time when Zi Qian, came here, I established one rule for all his following generations. Only people who are in love can come to me and receive my blessings. Zi Qian has always stuck to that rule and allowed married couples to come to me, but today, I don't know why, you are not descendants of the Zi Government. Maybe you meeting me was fate. You came at the moment when the strength of my spirit was about to disappear. Besides, you both have the power of a blood spirit. Young man, you are truly talented."

These words resonated in Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye's minds. Lin Feng's heart stopped for a second. They both had the strength of a blood spirit?!

Duan Xin Ye had the blood spirit, Lin Feng obviously knew that.

But Lin Feng, also had the strength of a blood spirit?

"My snake spirit…" Lin Feng was shivering. Maybe the spirit, which caused everyone to call him a piece of trash, was actually a blood spirit.

But Lin Feng's father didn't have a blood spirit. In the entire Lin clan, there wasn't a single person who had the snake spirit either. There was only one explanation, Lin Feng had never seen his mother, she was certainly the one who possessed the same spirit.

"Young girl, I don't have much time left, you are weaker than him, I can grant you some more power but you will have to understand it. If you accept, just nod, that'll be enough for me." said the voice to Duan Xin Ye.

Lin Feng didn't know how Duan Xin Ye was going to react but immediately after he heard the voice say: "Very good, I will also grant you with some of my knowledge. Do your best to understand it."

When he finished talking, Duan Xin Ye felt her body shake intensely. The images in her brain disappeared, an amazing strength penetrated into her brain which made her faint.

The strong cultivator looked at Lin Feng and smiled warmly.

"The last time a descendent of the Zi Government came in here, I explained to him that I wanted him to send me as many people at once because this would be the last time for me. I was hoping to meet a real genius and grant him with everything that I possess. Even though there aren't many people, you are enough. Even though your cultivation level is low, your soul is extremely powerful. You are much stronger those who have the same cultivation level as you. You are the most appropriate person to choose."

Lin Feng was only seventeen and had already broken through to the eighth Ling Qi layer but in the eyes of the man, Lin Feng's cultivation level was low. There were many cultivation geniuses in the vast and boundless continent. What drew his attention was Lin Feng's soul.

"The power of my soul…" thought Lin Feng. For Lin Feng, the soul was an abstract concept, it was unfathomable.

Lin Feng wasn't able to understand such concepts, his cultivation level was too low.

"Maybe you still don't understand clearly what the soul is. I will explain to you using simple concepts. In fact, the spirit of a cultivator is a part of his soul. Those who have a powerful soul can make their spirit stronger and carry out much stronger attacks."

"When a cultivator practices cultivation and becomes stronger, his soul actually becomes stronger as well. The spirit thus becomes stronger too. For example, a cultivator who has a sword spirit, when he is still weak, his sword spirit is of little use. It only enables him to understand sword skills slightly better than other people but because his cultivation level is low, his soul is also weak and doesn't give him any particular sword ability. In such circumstances, the cultivator cannot be called a sword master. A strong and authentic sword master doesn't need a sword, his spirit is his sword. Besides, they can use the sword within their spirit as they wish. The more they use it, the more they understand the mysteries of the sword and it becomes faster and faster."

The strong cultivator knew that he didn't have much time left so he was explaining things clearly to Lin Feng to help him understand various aspects of cultivation.

"There are some people who have a dual spirit, those people are considered as geniuses by many people but in fact, if their two spirits are ordinary ones, it is not of much use, it's not really incredible. Such people are even weaker than someone who has only one extremely strong spirit. However, those who have a dual spirit are usually regarded as geniuses because they have been granted a powerful soul. Their soul must be very strong to host dual spirits, stronger than that of other people. The strength of their dual spirits also increases their power of understanding. It is also easier for them to solve unfathomable problems. There also an endless amount of other advantages."

"In short, you have to understand that the soul is what shapes your future. Someone with a powerful soul can easily kill people at the same cultivation level as them. For instance, I gave a skill to the members of the Zi Government, Purple Annihilation, that skill uses the power of their soul too control the spirit, enabling them to control and shape the Qi itself. Such an attack is very difficult to block."

"So that's how it is." The purple annihilation skill used the strength of their soul…

Zi Ying was actually not very strong but he had broken through to the ninth Ling Qi layer which was only one layer higher than Lin Feng. If Zi Ying could do it, Lin Feng could use it too, after all, the strong cultivator said that he had seen Lin Feng's soul was extremely strong. He had also said that Lin Feng was much stronger than other people of the same cultivation level as him.

At that moment, the image in Lin Feng's mind flickered, it seemed to weaken but in a flash returned to normal.

"It seems like I don't have much time left." said the strong cultivator whose voice sounded disappointed. He immediately said to Lin Feng: "I don't have much more to say. You should remember that a strong and powerful soul is what increases your cultivation speed. It can allow you to perfectly control your abilities and spirit. Besides, it can help you control external forces during a battle. Besides, a powerful soul can help you gain control over powerful weapons and profound pills."

The strong cultivator had told Lin Feng about the numerous benefits which made Lin Feng a bit nervous, these were all the great things extremely strong cultivators could do.

"Please accept something from me. I would like to offer you some of my memories. I divided these memories into three parts, this makes them easier to understand. The first part is composed of the great things I achieved as well as the martial skills and agility techniques which I found to be useful. I don't want them to die out with me, so I give them to you. At least, nobody will be able to say that I led a greedy life."

"The second part of my memories is about energy, pills and weapons. They are all for you as well."

"The third part of my memories is the simplest one but also the most important, it is about art of soul cultivation. This is something I acquired intentionally, which made me who I am today. The art of soul cultivation is a celestial art. It enabled me to enhance my practice and obtain a powerful soul. It is the power of my soul which enabled me to stay conscious such a long time until now. Besides, I have never given my soul cultivation to anyone before, you must cherish it."

The man's voice was lower and lower. When he said his last word, the world illusion broke apart. Immediately after, three lights appeared and carried the memories into Lin Feng's body, mind and soul.

"Boom!"

Lin Feng's heart was violently pounding. His body felt extremely painful as if his bones had been crushed. In a flash, he was sweating a cold sweat. All these memories penetrated into his body and soul, how could it not be painful?

Lin Feng had the impression that everything was spinning. All the memories penetrating into his mind, he had the impression that his head was going to explode.

Even though that strong cultivator had just transmitted three separate groups of memories into Lin Feng's mind, they were extremely powerful and contained a lot of information.

Lin Feng had the impression his head was going to explode, immediately after that, just like Duan Xin Ye, he fainted and collapsed. They were both lying down on the ground unaware of the time passing.

Outside of the forbidden area, the crowd was patiently waiting. A day had already passed since Meng Qing had annihilated the Zi Government. Meng Qing was always standing in front of the door of the forbidden area. Her clothes were snowy white and fluttering in the wind but her body remained motionless just like the goddess of ice.

None of those who were wearing bronze masks had moved either. They were calmly sitting cross-legged at the front of the crowd.

The crowd hadn't left. Some of them wanted to leave but they didn't dare. They had mixed feelings and didn't really know why they were staying, was it out of fear or out of curiosity. The entire crowd was calmly looking at the unmoving silhouette which looked like a beautiful statue.

They had also become very curious and wanted to know more about Lin Feng. They wanted to know who he really was.

They also wanted to know more about Meng Qing.

A layer of ice was covering Meng Qing's body. It was extremely cold. It seemed like that ice wanted to expand and freeze everything but that Meng Qing was controlling it, so it didn't. That ice had the form of a white fog. Only a little bit of that fog was enough to freeze an entire person.

Nobody knew what it was and nobody knew either that Meng Qing's body, at that moment, was being damaged by that incredible coldness. She was unable to control the ice Qi.

When she had arrived at the Zi Government and that the old man said that he had killed Lin Feng, an incredible quantity of ice Qi had condensed inside her body. That Qi was the same as what was surrounding her body. When she heard the old man, Meng Qing had forgotten everything, including to control the ice Qi condensed in her body. The only thing she had in her mind was to kill using the ice Qi. There were consequences though, from all that cold Qi which had burst out from her body. She had become unable to control it. She could only suffer in silence while nobody would ever know anything about it.

Lin Feng, who was still in the forbidden area, awoke. Duan Xin Ye awoke as well.

At that moment, they both had many new memories in their minds. Duan Xin Ye remembered a sword skill, a beautiful sword skill. That sword skill was meant for women. She also had an agility technique.

Lin Feng had a massive amount of new memories. His brain was filled with the three categories of memories. These memories contained a massive amount of information, Lin Feng was still absorbing all of the knowledge.

Fortunately, when the strong cultivator transmitted these memories to Lin Feng, he had already sorted them into three categories, that way, they weren't chaotic in Lin Feng's mind. He wouldn't have been able to endure that. Everything was clear and organized.

After sitting there for a while, Lin Feng was finally able to absorb all these memories. He opened his eyes and felt calm.

"Cultivating the soul." said Lin Feng to himself. It was a way to practice and make one's soul stronger and on top of that, it enabled one to develop a powerful soul.

The cultivation technique was called 'Surplus Souls', a cultivator could make his entire soul break into small pieces called surplus souls which made it very convenient to practice. A cultivator could develop one surplus soul which would make all his other souls become stronger as well. He could advance his training greatly this way.

When the surplus souls condensed back into a whole, they provided the cultivator with terrifying power. Besides, even if the soul was divided into many surplus souls, a cultivator could still use as many of them as he wished, for example, if he had one million surplus souls, he could use all them at the same time, how terrifying would that be?

Breaking one's soul into a surplus soul was excruciatingly painful. The art of the Surplus Soul was extremely powerful but was also extremely brutal, which is why nobody would dare to think of it.

The cultivation method for Surplus Souls wasn't the only thing that affected Lin Feng's heart, all the other memories caused Lin Feng's heart to race.

He possessed all the memories of the strong cultivator and knew how strong this person was.

Zun Qi Layer. He was above the Tian Qi Layer.

With one fist, he could crush a mountain. One sword could carve out a river or a lake.

Lin Feng could finally understand the possibilities granted by the different cultivation levels. The Xuan Qi layer, like the Ling Qi layer, was divided into nine layers.

After the Xuan Qi layer, there was the Tian Qi layer.

After the Tian Qi layer, there was the Zun Qi Layer, the cultivators of the Zun Qi layer were seniors within the cultivation world. Lin Feng could barely defeat a cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer, it was already very difficult. Lin Feng couldn't imagine how far he was from the Zun Qi layer.

Lin Feng turned around and looked at the breathless corpse. He sighed. A cultivator of the Zun Qi layer was in front of him, a little cultivator of the Ling Qi layer. Lin Feng was still a nobody. A cultivator of the Zun Qi layer could kill him by breathing on him.

Cultivators of the Xuan Qi layer, in Xue Yue and Mo Yue, were already considered as very strong cultivators. Concerning the Tian Qi layer, Lin Feng had never heard anything about it, he didn't even know if there were cultivators of the Tian Qi layer within Xue Yue or Mo Yue.

As far as cultivators of the Zun Qi layer were concerned, Lin Feng was certain that such a cultivator could destroy an entire country with a wave of their hand. Xue Yue certainly didn't have such cultivators.

Cultivators of the Zun Qi layer could extract the strength from their blood and transmit it to their offspring. They were able to create blood spirits and pass them on to their descendants. Everybody knew how incredibly strong blood spirits were.

Besides, at that moment, Lin Feng had seen one of the legendary cultivators and had received an incredible amount of knowledge from him. He had received his legendary memories, the memories of a godlike cultivator.

"That huge snake was surprisingly a Zun level dragon."

Lin Feng was looking at the dragon. If it had been out in the world, it could have annihilated an entire country with one breath.

Its blood had turned into a lake which never lost its strength over hundreds of years, besides, the blood kept its vitality and could penetrate into bodies, granting people the strength of a blood spirit.

Unfortunately, the purple lake had been completely absorbed by Lin Feng.

"Ancestor, I have received your legacy and inherited your memories, ancestor, you are now my teacher."

Lin Feng looked at the remains of the strong cultivator and suddenly knelt down in front. Lin Feng's heart was filled with respect and adoration. He performed the kowtow, which sealed teacher and student.

He had separated his memories into three parts and transmitted them to Lin Feng. He deserved Lin Feng's obedience and respect.

If the strong cultivator had still been alive, Lin Feng would have wanted him as his teacher. Lin Feng could have returned to Xue Yue as a hero with such a profound teacher.

When Duan Xin Ye saw Lin Feng, she came next to him and started to respectfully kowtow in front of the statue as well. The strong cultivator had also transmitted thoughts to her, extremely powerful sword skills and powerful agility techniques. He had also become her teacher.

"Ancestor, the first part of the memories you transmitted to me, I will always remember them. If, someday, I have the opportunity to meet some of your old friends, I will tell them about what happened to you." said Lin Feng.

The first part of the memories from the strong cultivator contained his entire life and Lin Feng could also remember the strong cultivator's friends. Even though these memories were a few hundred years old, cultivators of the Zun Qi layer could remain alive for a long time. Not dying for a few hundred years was a normal thing for them. Besides, the strong cultivator's old friend had entered a deep and mysterious dimension. Lin Feng didn't clearly understand what kind of dimension it was though.

Lin Feng stood up and sighed. Even though the cultivator of the Zun Qi layer was extremely strong, he had, all these years never forgotten about love. He only wanted to see couples in love with each other, because he was, himself, a very romantic person.

"Lin Feng, when are we leaving?" asked Duan Xin Ye in a low voice. They couldn't stay indefinitely in the forbidden area, they would get bored to death.

Lin Feng looked pensive. The people of the Zi Government were waiting for him outside. If he went out, they would immediately ambush him.

He still was not confident in winning against a cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer.

"Cultivators of the Xuan Qi layer can use pure Qi, that would be too dangerous for me. My strength against his pure Qi, it's too difficult to win." thought Lin Feng, but he still had faith in his ability. He had managed to make a cross shaped wound on the old man's chest. He had almost killed him. At that moment, Lin Feng had absorbed the strength of the purple blood lake. It had penetrated into his flesh and bones. His snake spirit had completely absorbed the purple lake and had become much stronger. It had enabled him to obtain a new purple spirit.

Lin Feng was also convinced that even though he couldn't kill the old man, who had broken through to the Xuan Qi layer, he definitely had the strength to engage in a battle against him. He just didn't know whether he would be the victor.

"Xin Ye, let's go and see if we can leave." said Lin Feng. She was, of course, not going to have any objections so she just nodded.

"Let's go."

Lin Feng said that and immediately headed back. It was getting darker and darker and the path was growing narrow. A short time after, they arrived in front of the entrance of the forbidden area.

"You stay behind me, I will check first." said Lin Feng as he moved forwards. He put his hand on the door of the forbidden area.

"BOOM!"

The door of the forbidden area slowly opened itself. People who were inside the forbidden area just had to touch the door once to open it.

Lin Feng was a bit nervous as he had unintentionally opened the door. He released some of his Qi. He groaned and in his hand, appeared an extremely sharp sword.

The door of the forbidden area was slowly opening itself, the atmosphere was suddenly extremely cold, the coldness was piercing to the bones.

How cold. Why is it so cold? The old man wouldn't have been able to release such an incredibly cold Qi.

But when Lin Feng realized what was happening outside, he was stupefied. The energy around his body also vanished without trace.

The door of the forbidden area had finally entirely opened itself. A beautiful face was in front of him. Surprisingly, it was Meng Qing and she was patiently waiting for him. It wasn't the old man.

Obviously, when Meng Qing saw Lin Feng, she was also astonished and surprised.

"Meng Qing." said Lin Feng while a huge smile appeared on his face.

But Meng Qing looked as cold as before, her facial expression hadn't changed at all. She glanced at Lin Feng and then at Duan Xin Ye, who was coming out at that moment too.

When Meng Qing saw that Duan Xin Ye was wearing Lin Feng's clothes, she looked a bit surprised, but immediately after she adopted her cold and indifferent facial expression once again. She was absolutely expressionless.

When Duan Xin Ye saw Meng Qing, she was astonished and sighed. How beautiful! Surprisingly, there were such beautiful women in the world!

Not only was she very beautiful, but also very strong.

Duan Xin Ye was extremely self-confident when it came to her beauty. She had never seen anyone more beautiful than her before, but at that moment, she just saw a girl who was more beautiful than her and it seemed like she was close to Lin Feng.

"You're alright. That's the main thing. Let's go." said Meng Qing coldly. After that, she turned around and started walking away. Some ice Qi rose into the air which made Lin Feng frown.

That ice Qi was a problem, why was Meng Qing's body emitting such a cold Qi?

Lin Feng suddenly remembered that he had already seen such a Qi around Meng Qing's body and was a bit surprised. He then immediately shouted: "Meng Qing, wait!"

But it seemed like Meng Qing ignored Lin Feng. She continued walking as before. Her silhouette made her look very lonely from behind.

"Stop!"

Lin Feng walked out from the entrance of the forbidden area. The crowd was astonished, Lin Feng surprisingly dared talk to Meng Qing using such a tone.

Not did Meng Qing look like a celestial being but she was also extraordinarily cold.

"Come back to me!" shouted Lin Feng angrily. A light flashed through Meng Qing's eyes, she didn't look at Lin Feng. Immediately after, surprising everybody, Meng Qing slowly started walking back towards Lin Feng.

What was the nature of Lin Feng and Meng Qing's relationship?

Why was such a strong female cultivator listening to Lin Feng?

"Xin Ye, please leave for a moment." said Lin Feng while going back into the forbidden area. Duan Xin Ye was stupefied. A touching expression appeared in her eyes but she remained silent. She just nodded and walked out of the forbidden area and glanced at Meng Qing.

At that moment, she felt an incredible coldness. She started shaking and her heart started pounding. How could it be that cold around the beautiful girl's body? She looked like she was going to freeze on the spot.

"Come in." said Lin Feng to Meng Qing, who had arrived at the entrance door of the forbidden area. She remained silent and entered.

The door of the forbidden area closed itself behind her. Lin Feng and Meng Qing's silhouettes disappeared. The crowd was just looking at that huge door. They were all extremely curious, what were they doing inside?

In the forbidden area, Lin Feng grabbed Meng Qing's hand. Suddenly, a violently cold energy spread through his hand. Right after that, Lin Feng's forearm was covered by a layer of ice. It was spreading all over his body.

"How cold."

Lin Feng was stupefied. At that moment, Meng Qing's body was extremely cold. Even with his cultivation level, Lin Feng had the impression that he was going to freeze on the spot.

He turned around and looked at Meng Qing. He still sounded angry and said: "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." said Meng Qing while slightly shaking her head. She was surprised.

"I'm not only talking about the fact that you came to look for me with a layer of ice damaging your body, but also, when you just walked away. Why did you walk away?"

Lin Feng looked unhappy and he knew how powerful that ice was. Last time, he had already seen Meng Qing's pain. That time, the ice wasn't any weaker, Meng Qing perfectly knew that Lin Feng had a solution for the ice. Surprisingly, she turned around and walked away from him, how could Lin Feng not get angry?

Meng Qing raised her head and looked at Lin Feng. She looked surprised. But immediately after, she lowered her head again like a little girl who was being scolded, she didn't dare look at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng started shaking when he saw that Meng Qing remained uncommunicative. He felt like he had to say something.

"I will help you take away that ice Qi."

While speaking, Lin Feng's body shook and a dragon chant spread through the atmosphere. It made the entire atmosphere vibrate. Lin Feng's snake spirit appeared. It had six heads and was huge and majestic. Its eyes were looking directly at Meng Qing.

When Meng Qing saw the snake spirit, she was surprised, the last time she had seen it, it didn't have six heads and wasn't so gigantic. At that moment, it was huge and majestic. What had happened to Lin Feng's spirit was a miracle.

"It seems like I was right." thought Meng Qing. She was even more certain that she had guessed right. Lin Feng's snake spirit was actually a dragon.

The six heads of the snake were singing the chant of dragons. At that moment, the ice around Meng Qing's body turned into a white cloud and the snake started to swallow it.

At that moment, Lin Feng's spirit, which was floating from his back, looked like six different snakes constantly moving. It looked extremely powerful.

"In the future, do not ignore what I say." said Lin Feng. Meng Qing was, as before, silent.

Meng Qing slightly nodded and lowered her head. The ice Qi around her body was gradually getting very weak.

When Lin Feng saw Meng Qing's facial expression, his heart felt a bit painful, he didn't know how to talk to this girl.

Since they had left the Black Wind Mountain, Meng Qing had always been with him. He was the only person close to her. Since Lin Feng had left Meng Qing and travelled over a huge distance, a long time had already elapsed. It was very difficult for Meng Qing to be separated from him. Surprisingly, she had even chased him to the Mo Yue country. Furiously, she had slaughtered the people of the Zi Government. In such a short time, she had gone through a lot of hardships.

Besides, after such a difficult time, she had seen that Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye were together and Duan Xin Ye was wearing Lin Feng's clothes, how could she be happy after seeing that? Even though she didn't show her emotions, Lin Feng, who had broken through to the earth fusion dimension, could now sense the emotions which she was trying to hide. He had noticed because of her movements when she turned to leave. Her body was slightly shaking and she was continuously blinking as if she was close to tears.

Silly girl, she actually cared but always remained cold.

All of this caused compassion to fill Lin Feng's heart, then, he approached Meng Qing which made her start shaking.

It wasn't because of the cold Qi that she was shaking, but because Lin Feng was moving closer to her. She was shaking and she felt like waves were crashing in her heart. Suddenly, she started feeling nervous.

Immediately after, she felt that her body was being pulled, she could feel two arms wrap around her body. It was a warm embrace which immediately removed the cold from her body. She suddenly felt warmth invade her heart.

When she realized what was happening, her eyes, which normally never revealed emotions, moved. She looked surprised.

"Silly girl, you should know that if you suffer, I will suffer too." said Lin Feng softly. His voice was warm and sincere. His words came from the bottom of his heart.

When Lin Feng saw that Meng Qing's body was being damaged by the ice Qi and she was silently suffering, his heart felt a tremendous pain. It was the first time, whether it was in his previous or current life, that Lin Feng showed his love for a woman, his feelings towards Meng Qing were pure and sincere.

When Meng Qing heard these soft and warm words, she shivered. Immediately after, something that had never happened, happened, she smiled. It was a charmingly soft and sweet smile.

She moved a little and suddenly, she rested her head on Lin Feng's shoulder, which made her feel calm and relaxed.

Meng Qing's hands were behind Lin Feng's back but was being held mid air. It seemed like she didn't know what to do with her hands, but finally, her little hands slowly moved towards Lin Feng and she then delicately embraced him.

When Lin Feng sensed her delicate hands on his back, he giggled foolishly. He also put some more pressure into his embrace and used one hand to stroke Meng Qing's hair from her face.

So, that's how it felt to be in love…… it was truly sweet, it was a very warm feeling from deep within the heart.

Meng Qing's body calmly leaned against Lin Feng's body with her head on his shoulder. Lin Feng looked at Meng Qing. She was smiling, but in her beautiful eyes, surprisingly, there were tears which slowly flowed down her cheeks onto the ground. She was crying and emitting small sobs. Her eyes grew blurry.

Meng Qing had been extremely worried about Lin Feng while they were apart. She had not stopped looking for him, for even a moment.

Finally, she found him. She had been riding at full speed to the Golden Zi Mountain without rest. Then, when she arrived, she was told that Lin Feng was dead.

When she heard that Lin Feng was dead, she had felt hopelessness invade her heart. Her heart had felt so painful. She felt like a piece of her had died. She had just had one thought, kill. Kill the old man of the Zi Government and kill everyone who shared his bloodline.

A man in love could accomplish great things and dye his sword red on the battlefield for a woman. A woman in love could also accomplish great things, she would freeze heaven and earth if it stood between her love.

The most important thing was that Lin Feng was still alive, but then Meng Qing had seen that he was with another girl, she believed that he no longer had a place for her.

She was desperate. She hadn't thought about anything else but running away. A horrible feeling invaded her heart, she had never experienced such a terrible feeling.

Since Lin Feng and Meng Qing had left the Black Wind Mountain, only a short time had elapsed, less than a year, but during that short time, they had experienced a lot of things together. In Meng Qing's memories, there was a sinister forest filled with ferocious beasts and from the outside world, all her memories included Lin Feng. Lin Feng was already an indispensable part of her life.

The horrible feeling hadn't lasted for too long, Lin Feng had stopped her. He had made her come into the forbidden area, and now they were locked in an embrace. At that moment, Meng Qing understood how cold she was before that, it seemed like the coldness in her heart had transformed into warmth. It was a wonderful feeling.

The two of them seemed to be locked in each other's embrace. They softly embraced for a long time. The ice Qi had already dispersed and Lin Feng's spirit had vanished, but they were still standing there, embracing each other.

After a long time, Meng Qing finally moved, Lin Feng let go of her and looked at her beautiful face while smiling.

However, it seemed like Meng Qing didn't care about giving him face, she turned around and coldly walked towards the exit.

Lin Feng was stupefied. He scratched his head, he was startled, and then he immediately chased her.

The door of the forbidden area slowly opened itself. The crowd looked extremely curious as Lin Feng and Meng Qing came out.

Lin Feng and Meng Qing were actually holding hands. Meng Qing looked as cold and detached as before but was allowing Lin Feng to hold her hand and it looked very natural. They looked calm and serene. Besides, the ice around Meng Qing's body had completely disappeared.

"What a nice couple." thought the people in the crowd. At that moment, they all understood the nature of Lin Feng and Meng Qing's relationship. They understood why Meng Qing had gotten so furious when the old man said that he killed Lin Feng which is why she killed the old man.

Meng Qing and Duan Xin Ye were the same, they both loved Lin Feng. He was frivolous, natural and unrestrained.

Meng Qing and Lin Feng were a couple just like Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye, the crowd had the impression that they also looked like a perfect couple. They were all outstanding.

The crowd was well aware of Lin Feng's natural talent. They understood even more clearly how strong Meng Qing was. Thus, they thought that Lin Feng and Meng Qing was an even better couple and it was more appropriate for them to be together. It seemed like they were soul mates. Only someone as gifted as Lin Feng could be with such an incredible girl.

Zi Yi and Zi Ling were blankly staring at Lin Feng. Zi Yi lowered her head. She felt so inferior. She was a withered willow and Meng Qing was an incredibly beautiful woman who had even broken through to the Xuan Qi layer… and that girl loved Lin Feng. Lin Feng only had to speak and she obeyed his every word. Zi Yi used to think that Lin Feng would be interested in her, she felt ridiculous at that moment.

She was nothing in comparison with Meng Qing and Duan Xin Ye. She was much too ugly in comparison with these two girls.

"I would have never thought that Lin Feng was this powerful, not only is he powerful with incredible natural talent but two beautiful girls like him" whispered Zi Ling. She envied these people.

However, when Duan Xin Ye saw them holding hands, bitter feelings invaded her heart.

That was the first time that she was competing with another woman. She would have never thought that such a thing could even happen. Nonetheless, she had no choice but to face the facts. Meng Qing was a pure woman, besides, she was extremely beautiful. Such a girl was rare.

Meng Qing also liked Lin Feng and on top of that, Lin Feng was also interested in her.

When Lin Feng saw Duan Xin Ye, he smiled wryly. He felt lost. In his previous life, Lin Feng was always single, in this world, there were so many outstanding girls who were interested in him.

"Prepare two horses for me." said Lin Feng sounding cold and detached. Immediately, someone obeyed his order and prepared two Chi Xie horses.

"Get on a horse, we should go back." said Lin Feng to Duan Xin Ye. She slightly nodded. She had been away for such a long time. The imperial family was probably worried about her.

When Duan Xin Ye arrived next to her horse, she immediately jumped onto its back. Even though she was a delicate woman, she was trained in riding.

"Meng Qing, let's get on a horse too." said Lin Feng to Meng Qing who slightly nodded. She jumped up in the air and landed on the other horse.

When she landed, Lin Feng jumped up as well and landed on Meng Qing's horse right behind her. He put his arms around her waist and grabbed the reins. Meng Qing shivered, "this guy……"

"Let's go." said Lin Feng while urging the horse. The horses neighed and they left at full speed. Because the horse was galloping at full speed, Meng Qing's body was inclining backwards and leaning against Lin Feng's chest. Two people on one horse were galloping through the mountains.

"Protect the princess!" said Lin Feng to the Celestial Sword unit as an order. She was immediately surrounded by guards.

"Princess." the crowd was looking at the people gradually leaving. They felt like they were suffocating, that Duan Xin Ye was surprisingly a real princess, the princess of Xue Yue.

Who was Lin Feng? Surprisingly, the Chi Xie troops listened to him and then the princess and Meng Qing liked him…

On an ancient road, the Chi Xie horses were galloping at full speed and a cloud of dust was surrounding them.

On a horse, there were two silhouettes pressed tightly together. There was a beautiful girl who looked like a celestial being and the other was a handsome young man who looked frivolous.

Their hair fluttered in the wind as they rode.

Fine horses, beautiful people, a vast ancient road, a young man and woman… the scene looked picturesque just like a painting.

Meng Qing was calmly leaning against Lin Feng's chest. They weren't speaking. They were just enjoying the tranquility and serenity of the moment. It truly felt like a dream.

Even if the ancient had no end, it would be wonderful to stay like this.

As Lin Feng approached the Duan Ren Border, he was using his earth fusion and his senses were sharp and acute. He could feel that someone was hiding in the mountains and staring at him.

He slowly stopped the horse, looked towards the Duan Ren Border and shouted: "Lin Feng, under the Celestial Sword Chi Xie battalion."

The Duan Ren Border was completely silent. There no voice or sound. The entire mountain range was drowned in absolute silence but Lin Feng knew that the situation was dangerous.

"Chi Xie troops, move towards the Duan Ren Border!" shouted Lin Feng.

Lin Feng didn't know who was in Duan Ren Border. Immediately after, the Chi Xie troops galloped forwards.

A short moment after, Lin Feng frowned, he heard some whistling sounds in the air and then saw many arrows flying through the air, moving straight towards him.

He raised his hand, sword light spread in the air and the arrows which were moving towards him all broke. The Chi Xie horse was moving forwards again.

However, the sound of the arrows didn't stop. It turned into a rain of arrows which landed in front of him as if they were trying to prevent him from moving further.

"Meng Qing, kill them" said Lin Feng sounding cold and expressionless, he had only just arrived and some people were already unscrupulously attacking him. They wanted to kill him, that wasn't an illusion.

When Lin Feng finished talking, he jumped into the air. His body was floating in the sky above the valley as he rushed towards the cliffs.

Meng Qing also jumped up in the air and like a celestial being, she moved towards the Duan Ren Border as well.

In a flash, Lin Feng arrived on a gigantic stone, there were some troops continuing to shoot arrows but the moment when they saw Lin Feng, their hands paused for a second and they stopped firing arrows.

"As expected, these are Xue Yue soldiers."

When Lin Feng saw the armor the enemies were wearing, a cold and indifferent expression appeared on his face. Meng Qing had already told Lin Feng about the battle. Many people had been injured and had died but finally because they were in Xue Yue and cut off from reinforcements, the Mo Yue troops retreated. The Duan Ren Border had remained under the control of Xue Yue.

At that moment, these soldiers were shooting at Lin Feng since he had arrived in the Duan Ren Border. They wanted to kill him.

"Who are you? Whose orders do you obey?" asked Lin Feng coldly and detached. Cold Qi was surrounding his body. The soldier remained silent and released an arrow straight towards Lin Feng.

"Die." said Lin Feng coldly. He raised his hand and a cold brilliance illuminated the atmosphere and pierced the soldier. The soldier was astonished and slowly fell dead onto the ground.

After killing that soldier, Lin Feng continued. He used the earth fusion and could see every single person who was hiding in the mountains. None of them could escape from his senses.

At that moment, Lin Feng had appeared in front of another soldier of Xue Yue and asked: "Whose orders are you obeying?"

The soldier remained silent.

"Die." said Lin Feng heartlessly. He raised his hand again, in a flash, another one had been killed by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng didn't care for their silence. The Duan Ren Border was huge, there would probably be one person who would speak.

Lin Feng didn't stop moving. The Duan Ren Border was turning into a river of blood. Lin Feng wasn't the only one massacring people at that moment, Meng Qing was doing the same. If Lin Feng told her to kill, she killed.

Lin Feng forgot that he was in a territory of the Xue Yue country. Even though this was the border defense against Mo Xue. He didn't stop killing.

After having gone through war, he had become much stronger and his heart was now forged in battle. If anyone wanted to kill him, Lin Feng would not show mercy.

He had fought for Xue Yue but what had Xue Yue ever done for him? What had they done for Liu Cang Lan?

The princess had been kidnapped, the troops had fought each other, the Mo Yue troops had come in to massacre them, and hundreds of thousands of troops had been massacred. There was a conspiracy to kill him, if Xue Yue didn't care about him, did Lin Feng need to care about Xue Yue?

Lin Feng was an extraordinary person and he felt no sense of belonging towards the Xue Yue country. If, Xue Yue wanted to kill him, he would raise his sword against Xue Yue.

During an undetermined period of time, blood kept flowing from the mountains of the Duan Ren Border. It looked like there were blood lakes running through the mountains.

Lin Feng and Meng Qing returned onto the main road. Cold Qi surrounded their bodies.

They had killed all the soldiers who were hiding in the mountain. Back then, Liu Cang Lan had been in Duan Ren City protecting the valley. Lin Feng would have never thought that one day, he would personally use his sword in the Duan Ren Border to kill Xue Yue soldiers.

The Celestial Sword battalion had arrived in the valley of the Duan Ren Border. There were many corpses in front of them. They were all wearing the armor of Xue Yue.

"The road was being blocked, we killed them all." said Lin Feng to the Chi Xie unit sounding cold and detached. He had noticed that they were surprised by the scene.

"Now, come with me, let's head out at our maximum speed."

Then Lin Feng and Meng Qing rushed through the air as their horse moved at an incredible speed.

The people behind them remained silent and started galloping, closely following Lin Feng.

After the Duan Ren Border, there was Duan Ren City. At that moment, Duan Ren City looked apocalyptic. There was only ash filling the air. The entire city was destroyed by the fire.

Above the gigantic city gate, there were some Xue Yue soldiers and they opened the gate.

Lin Feng hadn't said anything. He had immediately moved towards the city gate and entered the city. Nobody tried to stop him either.

The Chi Xie unit galloped towards the city but after they entered the city, the gate started closing itself.

In front of Lin Feng, there were some soldiers who were slowly moving towards him. A sharp and majestic Qi was being released from their bodies. They were all on horses while staring at Lin Feng. It seemed like they had been waiting for Lin Feng to come back.

From their horsebacks, they grabbed their bows and raised them into the air. Lin Feng and Meng Qing could feel a deadly Qi invading the atmosphere and oppressing them.

"Stop, or we will shoot." shouted an ice-cold voice.

But Lin Feng completely ignored them and continue to move forward on his horse.

The one who had just shouted was surprised. He raised his hand with his bow, narrowed his eyes and a devilish ice-cold expression appeared on his face.

"Die!"

He lowered his hand, and pulled the bowstring. At that moment, an arrow whistled through the air moving straight towards Lin Feng and Meng Qing.

"Boom!"

The arrow hit the horse with a piercing blow, that arrow surprisingly had such brutal strength. Amongst these people, none of them were weak, they had all broken through to a high Ling Qi layer. They were all elite soldiers.

The Chi Xie horse collapsed, dead from the first arrow.

The first arrow wasn't intended for Lin Feng but for the horse.

After that first arrow, he put another one in his bow but this one was for Lin Feng. This one was supposed to kill Lin Feng.

Lin Feng and Meng Qing jumped into the air together and floated above the ground. They then immediately threw themselves at the crowd ignoring the arrows.

"Freeze." whispered Meng Qing in her snow-white clothes. Ice spread through the atmosphere, at that moment, all the arrows that were moving towards her immediately froze and emitted small cracking sounds. They were frozen in place.

Besides, Lin Feng was at Meng Qing's side and a resplendent purple cloud emerged from his back. That purple cloud transformed into a silhouette. It was an insane hundred-meter-high silhouette. It was in the shape of the purple dragon.

That illusion surprisingly was the gigantic purple dragon. It was unceasingly flying higher and higher. It then looked at the crowd from above.

That terrifying dragon made the facial expressions of the Xue Yue soldiers change drastically. They were all looking at the purple dragon in the air. They started shaking and their hearts started pounding. Their hearts were being overcome with extreme fear.

That illusion was Lin Feng's spirit after it had swallowed the entire purple lake filled with dragon blood. Even though Lin Feng's spirit had, after that, swallowed Meng Qing's ice Qi, his spirit still hadn't changed. It was still, the extremely powerful purple spirit.

Concerning the monstrous dragon illusion, amusingly, it was extremely similar to the purple dragon image which the cultivator was riding. The purple liquid of the lake was the blood of the purple dragon. Lin Feng's snake and the dragon from the forbidden area were in perfect harmony: "Roooaarr….."

The gigantic dragon illusion roared and started to attack. An endless purple lake of blood gushed from the dragon's mouth. Immediately after, the lake melted everything in its path like acid, including the arrows.

Blotting out the sky, the purple lake immediately moved to block the path of the retreating Xue Yue soldiers. Immediately after, endless fear invaded their hearts and faces. Their cold killing intent had already disappeared.

How could that be possible? How could Lin Feng have become so strong?

They received the information that Lin Feng had broken through to the sixth Ling Qi layer. All of these cultivators had broken through to the seventh Ling Qi layer and were supposed to be able to kill Lin Feng. If Lin Feng came back alive, Duan Ren City was supposed to be the place where he would be buried, but Lin Feng had become so strong, everybody was dumbstruck.

Their facial expressions indicated that they regretted everything. Killing Lin Feng wasn't a duty that they could fulfil.

The purple lake was rushing through the sky and blotted out the sun, it then immediately crashed down onto the Xue Yue soldiers. Immediately after, their bodies started to slowly melt as if they had come into contact with acid. In a flash, a hundred cultivators had all been melted into a puddle.

Melt… Being able to make things melt was definitely a monstrous ability. Originally, the blood and saliva of the dragon could melt even a powerful cultivator to nothing but bones, because Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye had inherited a blood spirit, only their clothes melted when coming into contact with the dragon blood. After that, the purple liquid penetrated into their bodies altering their original spirits. It had given them additional strength.

Besides, when Lin Feng's snake spirit drank all the liquid of the purple lake, it had given Lin Feng's spirit the same powers as the purple dragon.

When the Celestial Sword battalion saw Lin Feng, who looked like a god, they were absolutely dumbstruck. Their heartbeats accelerated.

Strong, Lin Feng had become much stronger. All of them had survived the war, they had gained lots of experience on the battlefield and had all become much stronger, but Lin Feng had become terrifying.

There were larger groups of soldiers riding their horses in their direction, coming to kill Lin Feng but, when they saw that sight, they had all stopped. They were looking at the dragon in the air and under Lin Feng's feet was a gigantic purple lake which seemed to be under his control, and it was moving straight towards them.

While the lake moved towards these soldiers, Lin Feng slowly turned around and looked at another large group rushing towards him. They were obviously Xue Yue soldiers and Lin Feng knew that they were all here to kill him.

When they saw Lin Feng's expression, their hearts started to race. Coldness invaded their hearts which sent a shiver down their spines.

"We have received a mission to kill you, but you can leave." said one soldier to Lin Feng. Immediately after, they turned around to leave.

"If they want to kill, they kill, if they are too weak, they leave…. how ridiculous." said Lin Feng coldly. They had all received orders but since their lives were in danger, they disobeyed the orders and left, what kind of discipline was that?

"Meng Qing, sorry to bother you, please confiscate all these horses for us." said Lin Feng while turning to look at Meng Qing. Their horse was killed by an arrow. It was a bit inconvenient for him to attack because he always melted the people and their horses at the same time.

"Alright." said Meng Qing while nodding. She moved in the air and released some ice Qi making the hearts of these Xue Yue soldiers pound. How cold!

Apart from Lin Feng, there was another strong cultivator, a cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer. In other words, even if Lin Feng wasn't this strong, they would all still die. Wanting to kill Lin Feng under such circumstances sounded like a joke.

They were all terrified. They had received orders and had to bear the consequences of their actions.

"Ice."

Meng Qing raised her hand ice emerged. The crowd was shaking. Immediately after, the ice spread, it moved forward and spread through the atmosphere. Everybody was frozen like a statue. Immediately after, they collapsed from their horsebacks and died.

"Get on the horses, hurry." said Lin Feng calmly. He recalled his spirit back into his body and ran, immediately after jumping on a horse. Meng Qing also jumped on the horse.

"Lin Feng, what's going on?" asked Duan Xin Ye when she saw Lin Feng's actions.

"Some people want us dead, they don't want us going back to the Imperial City." said Lin Feng while looking at Duan Xin Ye.

"What about me? Do they want to kill me too?"

"Yes." said Lin Feng while nodding. Duan Xin Ye's heart was pounding. They even wanted to kill the princess.

"Hundreds of thousands of soldiers have died, the princess disappeared, even though we won the war, in the end, they want to sentence Liu Cang Lan to death, because even though we won the war, it was still a tragic victory. Besides, we haven't managed to protect the princess who was kidnapped by Mo Yue. Therefore, they will be able to sentence him to death. They also want to kill me, I cannot go back to the Imperial city. But if you appear in the Imperial City, they will be unable to sentence me to death."

When Duan Xin Ye heard Lin Feng's words, her heart started pounding and she felt very cold.

Because they wanted to sentence Liu Cang Lan to death, they also wanted to kill the princess, could it be as easy as that?

Or maybe that they just didn't only want to kill Liu Cang Lan, they had also sacrificed her. The princess perfectly understood who was at the origin of all of this.

What Duan Xin Ye didn't understand was why she was kidnapped. Besides, why did Xue Yue and Mo Yue seem to be working together? If it had really originated from the person she thought, why did they have to kidnap her? Why didn't they just kill her on the spot?

The person she was thinking about was her brother, the crown prince, Duan Wu Dao. He was extremely aggressive, brutal and obeyed no principles and lived with no morals.

Duan Wu Ya, the second prince, and her were very close but she wasn't close to the crown prince at all. Therefore, because she had disobeyed Duan Wu Dao, she had to die.

Outside of the Imperial City, the scene looked like a seething cauldron of hatred. It was just as lively and crowded inside as before. At that moment, many people were moving towards the gate which separated the exterior and the interior of the Imperial City.

At that moment outside of the Imperial City, behind the moat surrounding the city. A thick and dense deadly Qi filled the atmosphere and enveloped the entire area.

The people and horses behind the river were all wearing the same armor. All the horses were Chi Xie horses.

They were surrounding the Imperial City.

At that moment, the troops had surprisingly encircled the Imperial City. There were several tens of thousands of soldiers. As far as the eyes could see, there were soldiers. It was a vast and boundless sea of soldiers who were all releasing an extremely strong Qi.

A group of people was approaching the Imperial City and saw this army of soldiers. All sorts of comments were spreading through the crowd.

"They are Chi Xie troops, I wouldn't have thought that the strong armored cavalry would encircle the city but when facing the Imperial City of billions, a few tens of thousands is nothing, it's a mere joke. They will not be able to do anything."

Some people noticed that the troops, who were surrounding the Imperial City, were all wearing red armor, this armor was the symbol of the border troops, the Chi Xie troops, Liu Cang Lan's troops.

"That is the impermanence of life… could it be that Liu Cang Lan the Divine Arrow will be executed in front of everybody." said someone while sighing. The fact that the Xue Yue Country wanted to kill Liu Cang wasn't a secret anymore.

It was said that Liu Cang Lan hadn't been able to protect the country against the army of Mo Yue and that he also had a bad influence, creating chaos amongst the troops. It was also said that he had wanted to prevent Duan Tian Lang's troops from engaging the enemy and thus gave an opportunity for Mo Yue to strike and kill hundreds of thousands of troops. Besides, the princess had been kidnapped by Mo Yue and nobody knew if she was dead or alive, only Lin Feng rushed to save her.

However the truth was that Liu Cang Lan went with Lin Feng's plan, they massacred hundreds of thousands from the Mo Yue army by making them enter Duan Ren City and burning them. That was an excellent plan.

Lin Feng was considered to be dead. He travelled over a huge distance within the Mo Yue country, and had relied on his own strength to kill the people who had kidnapped the princess. At that moment, he and the princess were missing, they were probably dead, or possibly in a critical situation.

During that war, the nickname "The Divine Arrow" had lost its significance while Lin Feng had probably met his death. What a pity, he was a strong and powerful young man, he was probably already dead at that moment.

The crowd looked at the sky, the sunlight was dazzling to the eyes. There were a few more hours to wait before Liu Cang Lan's execution.

At that moment, the Imperial City gate was firmly closed, nobody could enter the city, and they were all there because they wanted to witness Liu Cang Lan's execution.

At that moment, the troops got agitated. Immediately after, the crowd saw them jump onto their horsebacks and grab the bows from their backs.

"It's an armed rebellion. For Liu Cang Lan's sake, the Chi Xie troops surprisingly want to attack the Imperial City."

The crowd was astonished. Such a small number of troops wanted to attack the Imperial City. They would certainly die if those troops attacked. The guards of the Imperial City wouldn't just watch without reacting. A few tens of thousands of soldiers attacking, that was just suicide, nothing more. It would lead to nothing good.

As expected, a high-ranking soldier saw these troops move and laughed coldly. That high-ranking soldier was called Meng Gu Feng, he was an officer and had an illustrious reputation. He perfectly understood what he had to do when facing a rebellion. He could easily dispose of them, besides, he would be able to let his son distinguish himself in action and settle this problem himself.

On Meng Gu Feng's side, there was a young man. That young man was wearing armor. He looked majestic and domineering. He was extraordinarily handsome. If Lin Feng had been there, he would certainly have recognized him: Meng Chong. The one whose cultivation had been crippled by Lin Feng in the past, he was Meng Gu Feng's son.

"Meng Chong, I will let you give the order, what do you think?"

Meng Gu Feng was smiling which made Meng Chong happy. Meng Gu Feng was enabling his son to distinguish himself in action which would allow him to move up in rank much quicker. He could only be happy about this.

"Alright." said Meng Chong while smiling. He then moved to the edge, still standing above the Imperial City gate and raised his hand. An incredible number of Xue Yue guards raised their bows ready to shoot at the army outside.

While standing there, Meng Chong felt powerful, he could decide everything and even could even wipe out a small army with a single command.

"Lin Feng, what a pity that you are already dead, otherwise I would order you to be killed."

Meng Chong felt pride once again invade his heart. He felt truly powerful. Lin Feng had crippled his cultivation and humiliated him but at that moment, He had all the power, Meng Chong could order him to be killed.

He couldn't practice cultivation anymore but it didn't matter, he just had to raise his hand and let the army fight for him.

Deadly Qi spread above the gate of the Imperial City. The soldiers outside the city gate felt resigned to meet their end here. They clearly understood that, if they fought, they would die here.

"This battle is for nothing else but justice." shouted Ren Qing Kuang standing at the front of the troops while looking up at the people above the city gate. They had fought and lost troops for their country, Xue Yue, but how was Xue Yue treating them?

How was that fair?

"Justice, does it even exist?" shouted the troops furiously. The ground was shaking and their hearts were shaking along with it.

These people were going to sacrifice themselves for the sake of justice.

Meng Chong and his father, above the city gate, were smiling coldly.

"Justice is strength and influence is our justice. How could real justice exist in this world?" said Meng Chong while smiling evilly. After Lin Feng crippled Meng Chong's cultivation, Meng Chong's heart had grown even more evil.

"Brothers, this is our last battle, we are all here to fight together, officers and soldiers. We shall have no regrets!"

Ren Qing Kuang, on his horse, looked frivolous. At that moment, even though he was going to die, he stuck to his principles.

The sound of arrows entering bows filled the air and deadly energy spread through the atmosphere.

"Ready."

Meng Chong, from the top of the city wall, raised his hand to inform the troops to aim. The evil smile on his face was getting even more exaggerated. Right after that, he slowly moved to hide himself from any of the fighting.

Ren Qing Kuang had also raised his hand outside the walls, a gentle breeze floated in the air making his hair flutter in the wind. At that moment, that frivolous man wasn't wearing his helmet.

His lips were firm, his muscles were tense. Slowly, he just had to move his hand and the death bell would sound.

The sound of horses spread across the horizon but nobody paid attention to the sound. The whole crowd was only looking at the armies inside and outside of the Imperial City.

"Stop!"

Ren Qing Kuang lowered his hand, the troops with were ready to fire their bows at any time.

The sound of galloping horses filled the air and the ground started to shake. The sound spread like waves across the armies. They were galloping at full speed towards the city. The sound led to everybody stopping what they were doing.

"Stop, officer, it's me!" shouted Lin Feng. It looked like his horse was flying through the air. The entire army divided into two and cleared a path while looking at the silhouettes that had just arrived.

When Ren Qing Kuang heard this voice, he was stupefied. He narrowed his eyes, it was Lin Feng's voice.

"Everybody, stop." said Ren Qing Kuang. All the troops were stupefied. Why were they stopping their attack? Who was that?

Of course that Ren Qing Kuang wanted them to stop. If they attacked, they would be considered as armed rebels, and the guards on the city wall would have a reason to kill them.

But if they didn't attack at all and that the Xue Yue troops attacked them first, they would have a reason to strike back.

Initially, he was resigned to die but Lin Feng had arrived before he attacked the city. Lin Feng was thought to be dead and Liu Cang Lan was a criminal. Only Lin Feng could make the situation change at that moment.

Ren Qing Kuang turned around, looked at Lin Feng and the others in the distance, and smiled. His heart was beating very fast.

"Lin Feng."

When the troops heard Ren Qing Kuang's words, they were all stupefied. The Xue Yue Country had played a decisive role in making Lin Feng into a hero, Lin Feng was a true hero in their hearts. Lin Feng had obtained a lieutenant status with the Celestial Sword battalion for killing the black guards of Mo Yue. With his strength, he had managed to change the tide of the war.

At that moment, Lin Feng was appearing again.

"Lin Feng."

On the city wall, Meng Chong also saw that silhouette. He suddenly looked hideous and evil.

The sound of the galloping horses was approaching. On the top of the city gate, the troops didn't shoot their arrows and slowly put their bows down while looking at the silhouettes who were arriving.

"Ren Qing Kuang." shouted Lin Feng. He then jumped off the horse and glanced at the troops.

"Everybody, don't attack." said Lin Feng. He obviously understood that if they attacked, there would be no way back. If they attacked the Imperial City, they would be considered as rebels and would inevitably be executed.

Those who worked behind the curtains didn't care about the lives of all these soldiers, all they cared about were their own personal interests.

"Lin Feng, quickly! Liu Cang Lan doesn't have much time left!" said Ren Qing Kuang looking anxious. Lin Feng slightly nodded. He had precisely hurried because of that reason. He had been galloping all night rushing over to the Imperial City. He knew that he couldn't afford to be slow.

Lin Feng looked at the people on the top of the city wall and shouted: "Lin Feng is returning to the Imperial City, open the gate."

Lin Feng knew how Xue Yue wanted to dispose of him. On the one hand, they wanted to kill him, but on the other hand, they needed him to die at the border without witnesses. At that moment, at the very periphery of the Imperial City, the whole crowd was watching the scene unfold. If they killed him, they would be forced to show their real intentions.

As expected, when the troops heard Lin Feng's name, they were all startled. They slowly lowered their bows which made Meng Chong furious. An ice-cold expression appeared on his face. He was fixedly staring at Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng…" whispered Meng Chong. He then said with a cold tone: "Lin Feng was kidnapped by Mo Yue, if he was here today, it is probably because he has become a rebel and is now working with them. He cannot enter the Imperial City. Besides, there are these rebels as well, surprisingly they dare to surround the Imperial City, getting ready to attack us with their arrows. We must kill them, get ready to attack!"

"Huh?" Lin Feng frowned. Attack? Rebels?

How shameless! Lin Feng wasn't the only one who was surprised, the troops on the top of the city gate were also surprised, including Meng Gu Feng, but orders had to be obeyed, thus the troops raised their bows again, getting ready to fire.

"Would you dare?" At that moment, Duan Xin Ye was also beside Lin Feng on a horse. The crowd was astonished.

It was the princess, Her Highness!

Meng Chong was also astonished, his lips were shaking.

Meng Chong used to hope he could marry the princess someday but then Lin Feng crippled his cultivation. He had become a piece of trash and would never be able to marry Duan Xin Ye.

Besides, he understood why the troops outside the city gate wanted to fight, when he thought about that, a hideous expression appeared on his face.

"Fire!" shouted Meng Chong while waving his hand. He looked extremely cruel.

When Meng Chong finished talking, Meng Gu Feng, who was behind Meng Chong, went pale.

"Don't shoot!" shouted Meng Gu Feng furiously. Even though he wanted to kill Princess Duan Xin Ye and Lin Feng, at that moment, they had already returned safely to the Imperial City, they couldn't brazenly kill them anymore. That would cause a great deal of trouble.

If Meng Chong killed Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye, that would have made some people of the Imperial Family happy and some others unhappy.

Lin Feng wouldn't be too much of an issue, but the Emperor's daughter? Who would bear the responsibility for killing her?

These thoughts were logical and were common sense but Meng Chong's heart was filled with hatred and jealousy which is why he wanted to attack.

"Pshhh…. pshhhh…."

A few arrows whistled through the air. Lin Feng's facial expression was ice-cold. He jumped up in the air, his hand transformed into a sword and he immediately cut the arrows down.

"You want to kill the princess, how audacious, these rebels must die." said Lin Feng while smiling coldly. He immediately rushed towards the city gate at incredible speed. At the same time, Ren Qing Kuang and Meng Qing were also rushing towards the city gate.

"Psshhhh!" Lin Feng's hand pierced through the atmosphere. Immediately those who had shot their arrows were killed. They hadn't even had time to react.

The soldiers who hadn't shot when they had heard Meng Gu Feng were shocked. Lin Feng and the others had easily landed on the gate tower.

"A moment ago, you're the one who gave the order to shoot, you wanted to kill the princess?" said Lin Feng in an ice-cold tone to Meng Chong. This guy again…

When Meng Chong saw Lin Feng's facial expression, he started shaking. He had thought that if he saw Lin Feng again, he would prestigiously be able to order the troops to kill him but at that moment, Lin Feng had easily appeared before him. One glance had been enough to destroy his enthusiasm. The only feeling left in his heart was dread.

He was really scared of Lin Feng, the last time in the Lovesick Forest, Lin Feng had been merciless and crippled his cultivation, not letting him escape.

He was slowly moving back, Lin Feng's eyes surprisingly sufficed to scare him into a retreat.

Meng Gu Feng took a step forwards and looked at the young man in front of him. It was the first time that he met Lin Feng but many people knew about Lin Feng. Meng Gu Feng obviously knew that Lin Feng had crippled his son's cultivation making him a piece of trash.

"Meng Chong didn't do it on purpose, he didn't know that the princess was there. I will personally make him apologize to the princess." Meng Gu Feng was protecting his son. He hated Lin Feng. He needed to restore peace and remove himself from this event.

"Unintentionally? He didn't know?" Lin Feng was smiling coldly: "A moment ago, the princess was still shouting from her horse back. Everybody saw that with their own eyes but Meng Chong still gave the order to shoot, attempting to murder the princess. Meng Chong must die."

"Meng Chong didn't see the princess." Meng Gu Feng's cheeks were burning.

Lin Feng didn't have time to talk nonsense, he moved forwards while releasing his killing intent. How could he not kill Meng Chong?

On the top of the gate, some silhouettes flickered, they all moved in front of Meng Chong. They only saw Lin Feng smile coldly who then said: "Meng Chong wants to kill the princess, he has been sentenced to death. Those who want to protect him are his accomplices and must die. I, Lin Feng, am the princess' personal guard, my job is to protect her. I will kill anyone who threatens her life, no matter who it is." said Lin Feng aggressively. He would kill anyone who attacked the princess, no matter what their status.

The crowd clearly heard what Lin Feng had said. What a frivolous young man! Anyone who would threaten the princess would be killed.

"Try if you dare!" said Meng Gu Feng whose face turned pale. No matter what Meng Chong did, he was his son, was within his territory ,and his control. Lin Feng was only the princess' personal guard, how could he not get furious after being ignored?

"When I say that I will kill, I kill. No matter who is in my way." said Lin Feng sounding extremely domineering. He then took a step and an insane purple hurricane emerged in the atmosphere. A silhouette flickered and moved straight towards Lin Feng to attack him. Lin Feng just raised his hand at an incredible speed and his had had already pierced through that person's heart.

The soldiers, when they saw that, started shaking in fear. Nobody dared to risk their lives in front of that purple hurricane. In a flash, purple tentacles appeared from the silhouette, its deadly strength started to move forward. Everybody was pushed back, including Meng Gu Feng. The purple cloud contained a corrosive power too. When people touched it, they felt like if they stayed in contact with it, they would melt.

Lin Feng's silhouette flickered and rushed towards Meng Chong. Lin Feng was as fast as lightning, therefore, nobody had time to react.

Lin Feng grabbed Meng Chong by the neck using only one hand and then directly moved to the edge of the city gate. Meng Chong's body was hanging over the edge, Lin Feng just had to let go and Meng Chong would fall to his death.

At that moment, Meng Chong's face looked deathly pale, there wasn't the slightest degree of colour in his face, only fear.

"Lin Feng, don't you dare!" Meng Gu Feng had also turned deathly pale and furiously shouted these words but he only saw that a smile had appeared on Lin Feng's face.

"Chi Xie troops, hear me!" shouted Lin Feng. At that moment, the army outside in front of the gate of the Imperial City all said in unison: "Roger!"

Their voices spread through the atmosphere. At that moment, Lin Feng looked like a great commander, majestic and imposing, everybody obeyed him. He could light the fire within the hearts of his soldiers. These soldiers were, once again, feeling full of vitality.

"Prepare your arrows!" shouted Lin Feng. At that moment, all the troops out of the Imperial City raised their bows. Both sides had their bows raised.

"Meng Chong gave the order to kill the princess, this is a capital offense, he must be killed!" shouted Lin Feng furiously, at that moment, he let go of Meng Chong, whose body slowly fell from the top of the gate.

"Pssshhh, psshhhh." Thousands of arrows pierced through the air. Meng Chong gave a horrible shriek and his life was put to an end. Suddenly, a red liquid started flowing down the city walls.

All these arrows had pierced through his body which pinned against the city wall. His corpse was hanging from the city walls by thousands of arrows.

At that moment, Everybody was speechless. How ruthless and powerful!

That is how Lin Feng had gained such an illustrious reputation, it seemed like he was at the apex of his power.

Meng Chong's body had been pinned onto the city wall by thousands of arrows. The crowd was dumbstruck.

The ones above the city wall, even though they couldn't see it, could imagine what happened. They had all seen the cloud of arrows a moment before. Besides, the soldiers outside of the Imperial City were punishing him because he had tried to kill the princess.

The reason was absolutely valid so nobody said anything. After all, Meng Chong had given the order to kill the princess, everyone witnessed that.

Meng Gu Feng was shaking, his eyes were wide open, he was dumbstruck.

"Meng Chong!" shouted Meng Gu Feng extremely loudly. He then moved towards the edge of the gate and looked down. In a flash, his face turned red, that was his son, pinned onto the city wall with so many arrows, his little boy.

"Arrghhhh, Lin Feng!" shouted Meng Gu Feng furiously. He turned around and looked at in Feng with killing intent.

"You killed my son!"

Meng Gu Feng sounded like he couldn't believe it and was fixedly staring at Lin Feng.

"Please open the gate, the princess and I are in a hurry." said Lin Feng sounding indifferent. He looked particularly calm.

"Open the gate?" said Meng Gu Feng with a hideous grin on his face. He then said evilly: "Lin Feng, you broke into the Imperial City, killed my son in spite of my higher military rank, and have no respect for the hierarchy of Xue Yue."

"Huh?" Lin Feng was surprised, but smiled coldly immediately after. Meng Gu Feng was trying to accuse Lin Feng. What an old fox, even though he was furious and enraged, he still remained sober-headed and declared Lin Feng's faults, which would make it much easier to attack Lin Feng after.

"Officer Meng, Meng Chong tried to kill the princess, everybody saw it. He had to be killed for his own actions. Everybody thinks that what I did was the right thing to do. Besides, I will say it once more, officer, the princess and I have to handle important matters and are in a hurry so open the gate and let us into the Imperial City."

Lin Feng's voice was filled with coldness, his words were sharp and poignant.

"Handle important matters? You think that you can save Liu Cang Lan?" said Meng Gu Feng while staring at Lin Feng and smiling evilly. He then added three words: "In your dreams."

"BOOM!"

Meng Gu Feng had just finished his sentence when an ice-cold deadly energy emerged from Lin Feng's body. Meng Gu Feng was surprised and said: "What are you doing?"

Lin Feng remained silent, his silhouette flickered and his hand turned into a sharp sword which pierced through the atmosphere.

Meng Gu Feng let out a horrible shriek. Meng Gu Feng had tried to block Lin Feng's attack with his forearms, however Lin Feng proceeded to cut off his arms with his attack.

That attack astonished the crowd once again. Meng Gu Feng's troops, a moment before, had wanted to attack Lin Feng but Ren Qing Kuang and Meng Qing were there, preventing them from moving forward. They could only calmly watch the scene.

"Meng Chong wanted to kill the princess, I had to protect the princess and kill Meng Chong which is why Meng Gu Feng has a personal grudge with me, besides, he continues to refuse the princess entry into the Imperial City and doesn't respect the hierarchy of the Xue Yue Country. I, Lin Feng, will kill anyone who represents a threat to the security of the princess."

Lin Feng was standing there with his hair was fluttering in the wind, his voice was resonating across the horizon. People's hearts were pounding.

Not only had Lin Feng killed Meng Chong but he also wanted to kill Meng Gu Feng.

He would kill anyone in his way.

When he finished talking, Lin Feng took a step and punched Meng Gu Feng. Immediately after, Meng Gu Feng's face turned deathly pale, blood started gushing from his mouth, but he was still evilly staring at Lin Feng.

Meng Gu Feng had also broken through to the eighth Ling Qi layer, just like Lin Feng, but Lin Feng knew about earth fusion, which made him much quicker. Meng Gu Feng, a moment before, had been too negligent and his arms had been cut off.

"You are the only person responsible for the path you chose."

There was an incredible sword energy which emerged from Lin Feng's hand and immediately penetrated into Meng Gu Feng's body and then crushed his vital organs.

With a flip of his hand Lin Feng sent Meng Gu Feng flying over the edge of the city walls. The troops outside of the Imperial City released their arrows which whistled through the air and Officer Meng Gu Feng joined his son, pinned to the city wall, lifeless.

Lin Feng punished them both as criminals.

In the world of cultivation, strength was the only thing that mattered, strength was justice.

Lin Feng turned around and looked at the troops. Finally, he saw someone who had the armor of an officer.

"Are you the non-commissioned officer?" coldly asked Lin Feng. That person's heart was pounding. He had personally witnessed Meng Chong and Meng Gu Feng's deaths. They had suffered a cruel fate. It was like the widespread rumors about the crown prince, whoever dared to contradict him, died.

"Indeed." said that person while nodding nervously.

"The princess and I need to go into the Imperial City, we have things to do, quickly open the gate." said Lin Feng calmly. That person was stupefied and remained silent.

"I will give you five second to think carefully about your next actions. If you don't let the princess in, you are committing an offense against the Xue Yue Imperial Clan." said Lin Feng in a cold tone. He then immediately started counting: "One."

"Two….."

"Open the gate."

The non-commissioned officer's facial expression was rigid. How could he even give Lin Feng time to start the countdown? That guy had killed Meng Chong and his father. Lin Feng wouldn't hesitate to kill him too.

No matter how the situation would be, the most important thing was to survive, the future problems had to be ignored.

"Open the gate, open the gate…." said the soldiers repeating the order. A rumbling noise spread through the atmosphere, the gigantic bronze gate slowly opened itself.

"Officer Ren, you and the troops, escort the princess into the Imperial City and ensure her security." said Lin Feng sounding cold and detached. Ren Qing Kuang nodded and said: "Alright."

Immediately, Ren Qing Kuang jumped in the air and landed back onto his horse's back. He shouted: "Let's escort the princess into the Imperial City and ensure her safety!"

The troops, who covered a wide and vast area, all started galloping towards the Imperial City. The crowd was speechless. Ensuring the protection of the princess was clearly an excuse to allow the troops entry into the Imperial City.

But the princess didn't say anything. Lin Feng was controlling the entire situation, who would dare say anything?

The noise of the horses galloping on the ground was unceasing, Lin Feng waited for all the troops to enter the Imperial City and then, Meng Qing and he entered as well.

Hanging on the Imperial City walls were two corpses pinned with many arrows. The sight was, as before, a shocking for anyone who saw it.

Lin Feng was an outstanding young man whose heart was burning with boldness, he had managed to reverse the course of the events once again. He was so bold that he had even killed Meng Chong and Officer Meng without even blinking. He had ruthlessly killed them.

Of course, in order to be bold, one also had to have the appropriate strength.

Lin Feng could easily defeat Officer Meng Gu Feng who had broken through to the eighth Qi layer. He was extremely strong. The crowd had seen how monstrously strong he was.

If he didn't die, he would one day become as monstrous as the eight high-officials of Xue Yue. Besides, he would soon be even stronger, even more monstrous, than the high-officials at the bottom of the rankings.

Report chapter

In the Imperial City, there was an extremely vast square made of bluestone.

It was situated in a lively district of the Imperial City. The flow of people heading in that direction was huge.

In the middle of that square, there was a bright red flight of stairs made from metal which gave a dazzling light. That flight of stairs led up to a white stage.

On that stage, there was a huge metallic pillar which had an cross symbol at the top. Chains were hanging from that cross. There were two extremely sharp hooks, the view was shocking, the purpose of these two hooks was to skewer the arms of a person attached to the cross.

That stage was the Death Sentence Stage and was used to kill those who had an illustrious social status but had angered the imperial family. Thus, everybody could witness the execution.

After killing the criminal, the corpse would be hung from the cross by skewering his arms with the hooks. The body would then be hung there for weeks as a warning to everyone else. It let everyone know what the punishment was for angering the imperial family.

At that moment, there was an ocean of people around the Death Sentence Stage. They completely filled the huge square.

However, those directly surrounding the Death Sentence Stage were all Xue Yue soldiers, no one could get close to the stage.

"I really would never have thought that General Liu Cang Lan the Divine Arrow, who was so majestic, so illustrious, would end up here today."

In the crowd, some people were sighing. They were looking at the silhouette on the stage, it was precisely Liu Cang Lan. At that moment, Liu Cang Lan's body was tied up. Even though he was considered a criminal and was going to be killed, he looked neither humble nor arrogant.

Liu Cang Lan had no regrets, he was innocent.

In front of the crowd, two beautiful eyes were watching Liu Cang Lan on the stage. Glistening teardrops were flowing down a set of bright red cheeks.

"Father, you have sacrificed your youth for Xue Yue and even devoted your entire life for it… and this is how they express their gratitude…"

That beautiful person was Liu Fei. She looked more mature and more beautiful than back in the days of the Yun Hai Sect but at that moment, she was feeling lonely, desperate and hopeless. Her heart was shattering into a thousand pieces.

"Fei Fei, remember what your father told you, stay safe, live on. You will be able to avenge him only if you're alive."

Next to Liu Fei was a middle-aged man, he looked calm but his heart felt painful as well, especially when he saw Duan Tian Lang. He wished he could cut out his organs and bathe in his blood.

Everything happened because of Duan Tian Lang, including the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but he was blaming Liu Cang Lan for all these things. He was blaming Liu Cang Lan for the kidnapping of the princess as well. It was a terrible fate for a hero like Liu Cang Lan. Everything was ridiculous.

"Mmm."

Liu Fei nodded, but could not utter a word, her heart felt heavy. She had to avenge her father, Duan Tian Lang could not be allowed to live, either he would die or she would.

"Your father has always been convinced that Lin Feng would protect and take care of you, that nothing would happen to him. After today, we will go and look for him even if it means going to Mo Yue." said the middle-aged man. Liu Fei remained silent. Where was Lin Feng at that moment?

She didn't know why but at that moment, she terribly missed Lin Feng, she had never needed someone so much.

When a woman feels lonely, she always thinks about the person whom she cares for the most. Liu Fei, at that moment, felt powerless. Her father was in front of her and was about to get executed, but she couldn't do anything to prevent it from happening. She could only calmly watch her father get killed.

Duan Tian Lang looked at the sky and had a smile of happiness on his face. Duan Tian Lang had been waiting for this day for so many years. He had always wanted to kill Liu Cang Lan and at that moment, he was about to be executed. How could Duan Tian Lang not be happy?

"The time has come, let's get prepared." said Duan Tian Lang sounding detached. Immediately after, four strong cultivators pulled the chains which tied Liu Cang Lan, his bindings suddenly tightened, and then, his body was pulled into the air.

Liu Cang Lan didn't complain, his limbs were pulled in each direction and he was locked in place, he just continued gazing into the distance. He looked calm, he hated the choices he made in life, he wished he could go back in time.

"Raise your bows!" said Duan Tian Lang sounding cold and detached. On the bright red flight of stairs, many soldiers raised their bows and aimed at Liu Cang Lan. There were eighty one archers, Liu Cang Lan obviously didn't have any chance to escape.

A sharp Qi spread through the atmosphere. Was this their way of humiliating Liu Cang Lan? His nickname was the Divine Arrow, he was an expert in archery… and they were going to execute him using archery.

However, at that moment, the crowd could feel that the ground was shaking, and it was getting more and more intense. They were surprised.

The sound of galloping horses spread through the atmosphere. The ground was shaking more and more violently. Duan Tian Lang narrowed his eyes and looked at the distance. He only saw Chi Xie cavalry approaching in a large force, they looked like they were flying through the air, they looked insanely powerful. They were really the Chi Xie troops.

"What's going on?"

Duan Tian Lang was stupefied. How did the Chi Xie cavalry make it there? They were supposed to be blocked at the city gate. It was impossible for them to come into the Imperial City.

"Chi Xie cavalry, they came in."

"Yes, Uncle Jiu, your army, the Chi Xie cavalry."

Liu Fei looked moved, Jiu Chi Xie was with her and Ren Qing Kuang was leading the Chi Xie cavalry for him. When he went to the Imperial City, he thought that the Chi Xie cavalry would never be able to enter the Imperial City.

At that moment, Jiu Chi Xie saw a young and handsome man leading them.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Fei Fei, it's Lin Feng, nothing is impossible for that boy. Surprisingly, he managed to gain entry for the Chi Xie soldiers into the Imperial City." said Jiu Chi Xie in a low voice. Lin Feng's determination and willpower were impressive. He had completely altered the course of events, he had then killed the kidnappers and rescued the princess and on top of that, he returned unscathed. Lin Feng had the ability to shatter everyone's expectations.

There were tears of joy in Liu Fei's eyes at that moment, that was perfect timing on Lin Feng's part and besides, he had brought the powerful Chi Xie cavalry with him, he would definitely be able to protect her father.

However, they seemed to be forgetting that Duan Tian Lang was extremely determined to kill Liu Cang Lan.

"Lin Feng."

Duan Tian Lang's facial expression turned evil. He immediately shouted: "Get ready to kill Liu Cang Lan!"

"Roger!" shouted the archers in unison. Immediately, Liu Fei and Jiu Chi Xie's facial expressions drastically changed.

"Duan Tian Lang, don't you dare!" furiously shouted Jiu Chi Xie while jumping in the air across the crowd.

"Boom boom boom!" Jiu Chi Xie's blows killed a few of the archers.

"Release the arrows!" said Duan Tian Lang with a cold smile on his face. The arrows whistled through the air moving straight towards Liu Cang Lan. At that moment, Jiu Chi Xie's face turned deathly pale. He immediately threw himself forwards at full speed. He had dived in front of Liu Cang Lan's body to protect him from the arrows. His entire body was releasing Qi in the form of a strong wind. His entire body was covered with a bright and resplendent Qi.

"Get away!" shouted Liu Cang Lan, his facial expression drastically changed. At that moment, Liu Cang Lan's body was tightly tied up and he couldn't use his cultivation. All Jiu Chi Xie could do was protect Liu Cang Lan with his body.

"Uncle Jiu!" cried Liu Fei in alarm. Immediately after, the sounds of the arrows piercing through the Qi spread in the air, the arrows then continued and pierced into Jiu Chi Xie's body but they didn't continue moving towards Liu Cang Lan. Jiu Chi Xie's body was their final destination.

"Brother." cried Liu Cang Lan. His heart felt infinitely painful. On his forehead was a pitch-black seal. That seal kept glowing, making him unable to use his strength.

"Die together!" shouted Duan Tian Lang coldly. He then started moving but at that moment, a piercingly cold energy arrived on his body, he felt as if he was going to freeze on the spot.

"Frozen Heart."

Duan Tian Lang stopped moving. His face turned deathly pale, he turned around and saw a wave of pure Qi roll towards him. It was brutally cold. In a flash, he felt the extreme coldness on his body and was projected backwards, unable to move closer to Liu Cang Lan.

"Die!" said Lin Feng furiously. Lin Feng was brandishing his sword, its light was extremely resplendent and dazzling to the eyes. The archers were unceasingly firing their arrows. Lin Feng's expression revealed pure killing intent.

Ren Qing Kuang immediately killed the four people who were pulling the four chains which were holding Liu Cang Lan in place.

Blood was unceasingly flowing from Jiu Chi Xie's mouth but he was smiling.

"General, I will sacrifice my life for yours, after I die, Lin Feng can become the officer of the Chi Xie troops."

"Arghhh!" Liu Cang Lan was endlessly grieved, his eyes were filled with tears. Jiu Chi Xie had been an extremely good friend for a dozen years. They had never argued and had always regarded each other as real brothers, they considered each other family. Many times, they had fought battles shoulder to shoulder.

However, at that moment, Jiu Chi Xie had sacrificed himself.

"General, I would like to say one last thing." Jiu Chi Xie was leaning against Liu Cang Lan, he then leant over and whispered something in Liu Cang Lan's ear.

The intensity of Jiu Chi Xie's voice was dropping. When he finished talking, he looked at Liu Cang Lan and smiled at him.

"General, for more than a dozen years, I have never called you anything else other than "General" when addressing you, today, I will call you my "brother"."

The word "brother" had a deep meaning. After saying that, Jiu Chi Xie's voice lost in intensity, his breath became weak and his vision became blurry. His vitality was quickly leaving his body and his eyes slowly closing. He was calmly lying against Liu Cang Lan's chest with an unchanging smile on his face.

Liu Cang Lan was looking at Jiu Chi Xie and an endless stream of tears started to fall from his eyes.

Brothers, could such a simple word really describe the relationship that these two had over these countless years?

Jiu Chi Xie was motionless, lying against Liu Cang Lan's chest. He would never wake again.

The ground was unceasingly shaking, people were shouting, the Chi Xie cavalry were galloping, and chaos reigned over the crowd. They were all running away from this scene. In a short moment, the Xue Yue soldiers were not encircling the Death Sentence Stage anymore, instead, the Chi Xie cavalry had replaced them as the Xue Yue soldiers backed away.

At the same time, a large group of Xue Yue soldiers were coming to attack from the back of the stage.

But the Chi Xie cavalry all suddenly stopped and looked at the silhouette leaning against Liu Cang Lan's chest. In the past, that person used to be their leader… and he was now killed.

"Ssss…" The spears of the Chi Xie troops flew through the air. Everyone's hearts started to race. Chi Xie soldiers were willing to encircle the Imperial City for their General, they were also capable of attacking Xue Yue soldiers for their officer.

What was happening within that huge area was complete chaos, thousands of soldiers had already died, what was the reason?

Lin Feng remained uncommunicative. Jiu Chi Xie was a true leader and a great man.

Lin Feng's sword was dancing through the air. He cut the chains around Liu Cang Lan's body but Jiu Chi Xie was still leaning against him, in silence.

"Lin Feng, you came into the Imperial City with rebel forces and personally rescued the criminal, Liu Cang Lan. You deserve a death sentence." said Duan Tian Lang whose voice sounded ice-cold, he was fixedly staring at Lin Feng.

"Rebel forces?" said Lin Feng while fixedly staring at Duan Tian Lang. His tone was cold too.

"Die!" shouted one of the Chi Xie soldiers.

"Die!" That shout was imposing and heavy. Deadly energy spread through the atmosphere. The Chi Xie soldier raised his long spear.

"Stop." shouted Lin Feng while turning around. In a flash, everybody quieted down, they were all staring at Lin Feng, they didn't understand why he had stopped them, nonetheless, they all stopped moving and remained silent.

"I haven't given you any order to attack, if you attack, I will personally kill you!" said Lin Feng coldly. The hearts of the Chi Xie calavry were pounding but when they saw how strict Lin Feng looked, they all remained silent.

"Encircle the stage." said Lin Feng coldly. The Chi Xie soldiers obeyed his order and started galloping. In a flash, the Chi Xie soldiers encircled the entire Death Sentence Stage so that not even a single drop of water could trickle through.

At that moment, Lin Feng had become a sort of pillar for these soldiers, even though he wasn't their direct superior, everybody obeyed his orders.

"You will die."

Duan Han was standing next to Duan Tian Lang, he narrowed his eyes and intensely stared at Lin Feng. Lin Feng had lead a rebel army, even though Lin Feng was considered a hero in Xue Yue, he had committed a crime and had to pay for it.

Lin Feng coldly glanced at Duan Han. Duan Han's heart twitched. He then closed his mouth and then Lin Feng disregarded him like he would an insect. He started walking to the front of the Death Sentence Stage.

"Bring Her Highness up here." said Lin Feng. Immediately after, some soldiers wearing bronze masks slowly arrived, behind them was a beautiful silhouette on a horse.

That beautiful woman made people's heartbeats accelerate. She looked pure and noble. Incredibly, that was the princess of Xue Yue, Duan Xin Ye.

"Princess, you have returned."

"Lin Feng, really went to Mo Yue alone and returned with the princess." thought some people in the crowd while looking at that beautiful silhouette.

Concerning Duan Tian Lang, he narrowed his eyes, not only had Lin Feng come but the princess too.

"Soldiers, salute your princess." said Lin Feng while glancing at the soldiers. They didn't understand what Lin Feng was doing at that moment, but knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison: "Your Highness!"

Lin Feng calmly looked at the soldiers surrounding the Death Sentence Stage and said coldly: "How come Duan Tian Lang's army did not salute the princess? Is she not your princess? Are you really this disrespectful?"

Duan Tian Lang was stupefied, he immediately shouted coldly: "Why are you not kneeling down?!"

The Xue Yue soldiers obeyed the order and knelt down, while shouted in unison: "Your Highness."

"Duan Tian Lang salutes Your Highness. Your Highness has come back, this is great news for our country, Xue Yue." said Duan Tian Lang while slightly bowing and lowering his head.

"This is all thanks to Lin Feng." said Duan Xin Ye calmly while coldly looking at Duan Tian Lang.

When Duan Tian Lang heard Duan Xin Ye's manner of speaking, his facial expression changed. He didn't know what to say. He wanted Lin Feng to die and accused him of having brought rebel forces. But at that moment, Lin Feng had come back with the princess, which was an incredible military exploit.

"As expected, Lin Feng is our country's young hero." said Duan Tian Lang while raising his head and then said in a small voice while smiling: "But even though Lin Feng saved you, he has still committed a great crime by gathering rebel forces and bringing them into the Imperial City, and that is not an insignificant crime."

"Duan Tian Lang is still thinking of how he can falsely accuse others of crimes." said Lin Feng indifferently. Duan Tian Lang was stubborn and said: "Meritorious acts are meritorious acts, crimes are crimes. I Duan Tian Lang, must declare your faults for the sake of justice."

"Justice? Duan Tian Lang, how long has it been since we last saw each other? It seems like you get even more shameless each time we meet, I thought it was impossible to be more shameless than you when we last met, but once again you have proven me wrong." said Lin Feng in a cold tone. The crowd was astonished. Lin Feng surprisingly dared to call Duan Tian Lang shameless in front of everybody.

The ground started shaking again and rumbling noises spread through the atmosphere. The crowd was surprised. The crowd moved back again and opened a path. At that moment, an incredible number of soldiers were coming, it was the Imperial Guards.

Duan Tian Lang felt relieved. A short moment after, the army of guards arrived. The Chi Xie soldiers surrounding the Death Sentence Stage wanted to attack but Lin Feng waved his hand, signaling them to stand their ground and remain calm.

Two silhouettes slowly came from the group of Imperial Guards. One of them was wearing armor, he looked majestic and powerful, while the other was a handsome young man, the second prince, Duan Wu Ya.

"Did you kill Meng Gu Feng and Meng Chong? This person is Meng Han, the officer of the Imperial Guards, Officer Meng Gu Feng was his brother." Said Duan Wu Ya

"Indeed." said Lin Feng sounding calm, cold and detached.

"Huh?" Duan Tian Lang was stupefied, Lin Feng had killed Meng Gu Feng and Meng Chong?

Inside, he was laughing coldly. He was evilly staring at Lin Feng and then said: "Lin Feng, you saved the princess which is a military exploit but acting arrogantly, you dared to kill an officer and then bring rebel forces into the Imperial City. These are both extreme crimes against the country. To pay for your crimes, the only solution is death." Then, Duan Tian Lang turned around and looked to Duan Wu Ya: "Your Highness, please punish Lin Feng for his crimes."

Duan Wu Ya looked relaxed, he had perfectly mastered his emotions. A faint smiled appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said: "Lin Feng, Duan Tian Lang wants to punish you for your crimes, is there anything you want to say?"

"Yes." said Lin Feng while slightly nodding, he then immediately turned to Duan Tian Lang and said: "Duan Tian Lang, during the war, because he wanted to kill me, he created chaos within our army, allowing the Mo Yue army to exploit the weakness that he created. Hundreds of thousands of Xue Yue soldiers died so he could have the opportunity to kill me, it was a bloodbath. Now he wants to punish me for my crimes with a death sentence. I don't think that it's a strange thing at all."

When Lin Feng finished talking, the crowd was astonished. Duan Tian Lang had caused chaos within their own army because he wanted to kill Lin Feng? From what they had heard, Liu Cang Lan was responsible for that.

"He's talking nonsense, Your Highness, not only is Lin Feng a traitor but he is also a lying little rat. Don't trust him." said Duan Tian Lang. Of course, he wasn't going to admit his faults, Lin Feng perfectly knew that.

"Duan Tian Lang is calling me a traitor, yet he gives no explanation and wants punishment. At what moment have I rebelled?" asked Lin Feng.

"You came into the Imperial City with rebel forces, killed Meng Gu Feng as well as Meng Chong, you encircled the Death Sentence Stage and rescued Liu Cang Lan, who is a criminal, everybody saw this with their own eyes. Is that enough?"

"Shut your filthy mouth!" furiously shouted Lin Feng, his eyes unveiled killing intent, he was exasperated. He then pointed at the Chi Xie cavalry.

"Duan Tian Lang, these soldiers have courageously fought against the enemy, we encircled them inside the city and burnt them alive inside. We killed hundreds of thousands of the Mo Yue army, in the end they were forced to retreat. At that moment, I'm asking you, where were you? You had already deserted the army and ran back to the Imperial City like a little scared dog. You are really audacious."

"And now what? You are calling me a traitor, but I want to ask you, who are you to call me a traitor? Are you the one who decides? What status do you hold where you think that by calling me a traitor, I instantly become one?"

Lin Feng's voice sounded extremely cold. Duan Tian Lang was speechless. The crowd was also astonished. They had killed hundreds of thousands of Mo Yue soldiers in Duan Ren City, and made them retreat. At that moment, Duan Tian Lang had already run away. How could he judge someone else's faults?

Duan Tian Lang looked glum, he then coldly said: "The Imperial City is a holy place in Xue Yue, is it normal for an army to enter it by force without permission? Is it normal to kill an officer and his son when entering the city? If that is not being a traitor, then what is?"

"The Princess and I rushed back to the Imperial City, then some soldiers attempted to assassinate us, besides, they were all Xue Yue soldiers. They knew that the princess was there, but they still tried to kill us. I want to ask you, Duan Tian Lang, doesn't the whole army now follow your commands?"

"Nonsense, how could they be my soldiers?" quickly refuted Duan Tian Lang angrily.

"Well then, the most amusing part is that even if they were not your soldiers, my role is to protect the princess and I ordered the Chi Xie cavalry to protect her and accompany the princess to the Imperial City. However, Duan Tian Lang, you call me a traitor and want to kill me. You also called these soldiers rebel forces. If I understand your argument, you're clearly saying that we are a rebel army and deserve to die, because we protected the princess against countless squads of Xue Yue soldiers that you claim were not under your control, is that right?" Lin Feng's words made Duan Tian Lang's face sink. Lin Feng had only said a few words, but he had exposed Duan Tian Lang. Lin Feng's last words had been so eloquent that they cornered Duan Tian Lang.

"Of course, protecting the princess is not a crime, but Officer Meng Gu Feng and Meng Chong's deaths, how do you explain them? Things are not as simple as you would have others believe." said Duan Tian Lang looking evil.

"I was outside of the Imperial City, Meng Chong knew that the princess was amongst us but still gave the Xue Yue soldiers the order to fire arrows at us, including the princess. Duan Tian Lang, I, Lin Feng, want to ask you, was killing him the right thing to do?"

Duan Tian Lang narrowed his eyes and said: "Yes, he deserved to die."

"Well then, I will ask you something else. Meng Chong's father, Officer Meng Gu Feng let his son give the order to kill the princess and then committed another offense by preventing the princess from entering the Imperial City, was killing him the right thing to do?" Lin Feng's voice was cold and sharp.

"It was the right thing to do." said Duan Tian Lang agreeing with Lin Feng.

"Duan Tian Lang, you're saying it yourself, they deserved to die, so now I want to ask you, what crime have I committed? Am I a traitor because I came into the Imperial City with soldiers who were protecting the princess?" said Lin Feng coldly while staring at Duan Tian Lang. Lin Feng had prevented the Chi Xie soldiers from attacking because he had a plan. A few tens of thousands soldiers was a miniscule amount, if they had attacked, they would have immediately been considered as a rebel army and would have been wiped out.

"Hmph, you protected the princess, that is indeed a meritorious act, but a moment before, you killed some soldiers which belonged the enforcement troops and rescued the criminal Liu Cang Lan, isn't that a crime?"

"Of course that is not a crime." said Lin Feng while staring at Duan Tian Lang and then continued: "General Liu Cang Lan went to war and fought against Mo Yue for our country, Xue Yue, but you abandoned him, you're a deserter who accused him of your own crimes. How could I not save him?"

A deserter.

Duan Tian Lang had a hideous expression on his face. Lin Feng was, once again, humiliating him in front of everyone.

"Duan Tian Lang, no need to hurry and justify yourself. I have been answering so many questions, however you have your own crimes to account for." said Lin Feng with a smile yet not a smile on his face. He then continued:

"Duan Tian Lan, the Chi Xie cavalry and I were protecting the princess, why can't you distinguish good from bad? Why do you say that we have committed crimes? Why did you hurry to accuse us of various crimes? Why are you trying at every possible occasion to sentence me to death? Besides, when I came here, why did you try and hurry the execution of Liu Cang Lan? Also, when the princess and I came back to the city, we were attacked by several squads of Xue Yue soldiers, as far as I know, you command those soldiers, are you not the one who ordered them to kill me and the princess?" Lin Feng's questions made the crowd astonished. It seemed like that entire story wasn't as simple as they had thought.

"All your questions are attempting to harm my reputation, I will refrain from answering them." said Duan Tian Lang coldly. He didn't care, what could Lin Feng do anyway?

"You have the right not to care but I want to ask you something, has General Liu Cang Lan committed any crime?"

Duan Tian Lang was furious and really wanted to kill Lin Feng, as far as Liu Cang Lan, everybody knew about him, nothing could be kept secret.

"Liu Cang Lan sowed disorder amongst the troops, making us lose a battle against Mo Yue, leading to the death of hundreds of thousands of troops and he didn't protect the princess who was kidnapped, are all these crimes enough for him to be sentenced to death?!"

"This is your version of events, the person who committed all of these crimes was it not actually you?" said Lin Feng while smiling indifferently. Immediately after, he pointed at Duan Wu Ya and said: "The second prince is here as a witness, I hope that you would not dare to lie in the face of our second prince."

"It was me." admitted Duan Tian Lang as he forced the words from his mouth.

"Hehe, how shameless, what a shameless dog, but on the other hand, I am not surprised." said Lin Feng while smiling. His tone was humiliating Duan Tian Lang.

"I just want to ask, you, Duan Tian Lang, you say that the princess was kidnapped, where was she kidnapped exactly? Was she in one of Liu Cang Lan's tents at that moment or was she in one of your tents?"

Lin Feng smiled and said: "The princess is here before us, I hope that you would not be planning to tell any lies."

Duan Tian Lang was blankly staring at Lin Feng. His mouth was about to move but then Duan Wu Ya spoke: "Uncle, for the sake of justice, please reply to Lin Feng's questions. I will be fair."

The situation was awkward for Duan Tian Lang, he said in a low voice: "She was in one of the tents from my campsite."

When the crowd heard Duan Tian Lang, they burst into an uproar, surprisingly, it really was exactly as Lin Feng was explaining.

"Since those are the facts, there is something that I don't really understand, if the princess was kidnapped in one of your tents, why would Liu Cang Lan have to bear the responsibility for it? How has he committed a crime? Besides, you still have the face to order Liu Cang Lan's execution. I would like to hear your explanation." Lin Feng was speaking extremely loudly so that everybody could clearly hear what he was saying.

"Please explain." Shouted all of the Chi Xie soldiers who were encircling the Death Sentence Stage. Duan Tian Lang's facial expression was utterly hideous.

At that moment, if Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye hadn't returned, Liu Cang Lan would have already been executed. The entire situation had changed.

"Liu Cang Lan is a general, he didn't properly ensure the security of the campsite giving the Mo Yue troops an opportunity to kidnap the princess, of course that it is a crime." said Duan Tian Lang trying to pass the blame again, but obviously, his argument couldn't persuade anyone in the crowd any longer.

"So that's the reason." said Lin Feng while smiling. "Well, I was there too, and at the moment when I tried to chase the kidnappers, your troops obstructed my path and said that I plotted against the princess. You were the one who always wanted me dead, immediately after the princess was kidnapped, you were already there to execute me, but did not see the kidnappers, how did you manage to do that?"

When Lin Feng said that, everybody looked at Duan Tian Lang expecting a prompt answer.

Everybody wanted to know what really happened on the battlefield that had led to the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Duan Tian Lang remained silent.

"Since Duan Tian Lang remains silent, I will say what happened myself, Duan Tian Lang, you wanted to make it appear as if I was the culprit and sacrificed the princess in order to settle a personal grudge with me. When Liu Cang Lan saw that you were trying to kill me unjustly, he brought his army to stop you and then you ordered your soldiers to attack his. Clearly this was the act of a noble war hero… Besides, once disorder had been sown amongst the army, the Mo Yue army attacked and they killed hundreds of thousands from the army." Lin Feng's voice was calm and solemn. While looking at Duan Tian Lang, he said: "Duan Tian Lang, is what I am saying the truth or not?"

The hearts of the people in the crowd were pounding. Surprisingly, Duan Tian Lang was the person who caused so many deaths and Liu Can Lan was to be executed for Duan Tian Lang's crimes.

"Nonsense!" furiously shouted Duan Tian Lang.

Lin Feng was smiling and then continued: "I am not done talking. Duan Tian Lang, there is no need for you to try and cover up the truth any longer."

"After the chaos, and after hundreds of thousands of soldiers had been killed, the Xue Yue army returned to Duan Ren City, there was evidence that the person who kidnapped the princess was working for Mo Yue, besides, at the moment when the princess had been kidnapped, it was soldiers under your command that blocked my path and let the kidnappers escape, they were traitors, and yet again they were surprisingly under your command. I can say that there isn't a single person within the army who doesn't know about these acts of treason. What explanation can you provide?"

So that's how it happened, the person who kidnapped the princess was from Mo Yue and Duan Tian Lang was the one giving the orders. Besides, he was using every opportunity to kill Lin Feng.

That news was shocking.

"After that, Liu Cang Lan and I fought against the enemy, organized an ambush in Duan Ren City and set it on fire. At that moment, you, Duan Tian Lang, had already deserted to the Imperial City. Everyone knows what happened after. You changed the entire story and gave Xue Yue a false version of events in which Liu Cang Lan was responsible for your crimes, then you had done your best to execute Liu Cang Lan. Besides, the princess and I were missing and assumed dead, so we could not testify to your crimes. The problem is that if either of us returned alive, you would have been in trouble so you ordered several squads of soldiers to kill us on the way." When Lin Feng finished talking, the entire crowd was drowned into silence. The crowd was now having doubts, maybe, Duan Tian Lang was really the mastermind behind this entire plot.

Report chapter

"Lin Feng, you're just trying to ruin my reputation, what you're saying is a pack of lies! I have never dispatched anyone to kill you or the princess. Besides, I suspect that you're the one who kidnapped the princess, and it is only because you have threatened her and she's under pressure that she listens to you." said Duan Tian Lang while making a false accusation.

"Is that so? How come the high-ranking soldiers who tried to kill me told me that they were only obeying orders and the black guard lieutenants confirmed that you were collaborating with Mo Yue, you sowed disorder within our army which resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If you were not working with Mo Yue, why would you have attacked Liu Cang Lan's army? You, Duan Tian Lang, are good at secretly at plotting against people." said Lin Feng sounding cold and detached. The crowd was astonished, Duan Tian Lang had collaborated with Mo Yue?

Lin Feng's words were too powerful, these crimes were enough for Duan Tian Lang to be sentenced to death a few times over.

Duan Tian Lang's heart was also pounding. He was fixedly staring at Lin Feng. Surprisingly, Lin Feng was also declaring that Duan Tian Lang had collaborated with Mo Yue.

"Lin Feng, I devoted my life to Xue Yue and you dare say that I collaborated with the enemy, how am I supposed to let you live?" said Duan Tian Lang while releasing a deadly Qi. He really wanted to kill Lin Feng.

"So that's how it is, you really did commit all of these crimes. I said that you collaborated with Mo Yue and again the only thing you can do is try to silence me. Apart from that crime, you also deserted and created chaos within the troops, which resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it was a bloodbath. Then, you tried to make Liu Cang Lan bear the responsibility for all of these crimes, then you almost killed him. Also, because of you, the officer of the Chi Xie army, Jiu Chi Xie, is now dead. How could the army of Chi Xie forgive you?" Lin Feng sounded imposing and domineering. Immediately after, he looked at the soldiers and said: "Tell me, can you forgive Duan Tian Lang?"

"No!"

"We can't!"

The tens of thousands of Chi Xie soldiers were shouting loudly and aggressively. Duan Tian Lang suddenly had the impression that he was being absorbed by Lin Feng.

"Alright." shouted Lin Feng. Immediately after, he looked at the second prince and said: "Your Highness, you have seen it too, I only said a few truths and Duan Tian Lang tries to kill me. Besides, the soldiers cannot forgive him for what he has done. Now, if Duan Tian Lang kills me, I will have no regrets because I have done nothing wrong. However, I would like to ask Your Highness and Officer Meng not to intervene in this fight."

Duan Wu Ya had remained silent, almost the entire time, he looked pensive while looking at Lin Feng. He was also surprised. Lin Feng's words had been sharp, harsh and powerful. Duan Tian Lang couldn't reply at all.

At that moment, a battle was probably going to break out and if Officer Meng didn't get involved, Lin Feng would have the advantage.

"At the moment, I cannot clearly distinguish what is right and wrong but there is already a profound hatred between Duan Tian Lang and you, if he wants to fight against you, I will not prevent him from doing so, I want to see if he believes he has the required ability to kill you." said Duan Wu Ya indifferently. Everybody was astonished. Duan Wu Ya said that he was wondering if Duan Tian Lang had the ability to kill Lin Feng but actually, that was covering his tacit consent for Lin Feng to dispose of Duan Tian Lang as he wished.

But everybody understood what Duan Wu Ya meant. He had agreed and the crowd was astonished.

Duan Tian Lang also remained silent. He an felt ice-cold chill in his heart. Duan Wu Ya was not hiding his intentions anymore, he wanted to kill him.

"Officer Meng." said Duan Tian Lang while glancing at Duan Wu Ya and then immediately looking at Meng Han.

"Duan Tian Lang has a high status within the Imperial Family, I, Meng Han, am the officer of the Imperial Guard, I have to protect the entire Imperial Family. I obviously couldn't accept it if anything happens to Duan Tian Lang." said Meng Han sounding calm. He was clearly on Duan Tian Lang's side.

Duan Xin Ye and Duan Wu Ya were worried about Lin Feng, they would help him even if it meant contradicting Duan Tian Lang. Lin Feng was calmly looking at everything that was happening around him.

Besides, Meng Han, who was the officer of the Imperial Guards, didn't even care about making Duan Wu Ya lose face.

"It seems like the fact that Duan Wu Ya and Meng Han both came has a profound meaning, it shows that they are both in opposing factions." thought Lin Feng. The things that happened within the Imperial Family were hard to understand.

"Hehe." When Duan Wu Ya heard Meng Han, he laughed but the laugh also contained some coldness.

"An officer of the Imperial Guard, indeed." thought Duan Wu Ya. Immediately after, he started walking slowly towards Duan Xin Ye and asked: "Xin Ye, is what Lin Feng said the truth? Did you really get kidnapped in Duan Tian Lang's tent?"

"Yes, it is the truth." said Duan Xin Ye while nodding and then added: "On that day, Lin Feng and I were chatting in the tent when suddenly, an assassin came and as Lin Feng saved me, I was kidnapped. After that, the kidnapper confirmed that he received orders from the holy courtyard and Uncle Duan, who were cooperating with Mo Yue. Duan Tian Lang was also plotting against Lin Feng."

"I understand." said Duan Wu Ya while slightly nodding and then immediately said: "Xin Ye, you went through many hardships because of me."

When he finished talking, Duan Wu Ya walked back towards Duan Tian Lang, who started feeling uncertain. Duan Tian Lang didn't fear many people but Duan Wu Ya was one of those he feared.

Duan Wu Ya's way of working wasn't easy to understand. There were very few people who could guess what he was thinking.

"Then, Lin Feng and Liu Cang Lan managed to encircle the enemy in Duan Ren City and burnt the city, killing a few hundred thousand enemy soldiers, then they were forced to retreat back to Mo Yue. Duan Tian Lang, would you like to say anything about this?"

Duan Tian Lang was fixedly staring at Duan Wu Ya and said: "No."

"Alright." said Duan Wu Ya while nodding and continued: "During the battle, a few hundred thousand soldiers were sacrificed but regardless of that, Lin Feng and the princess have come back to the Imperial City alive and the invading army has been repelled. Besides, there was also a huge misunderstanding about Liu Cang Lan, right?"

"That's right." said Duan Tian Lang who didn't feel like nodding anymore.

"Good." said Duan Wu Ya while nodding. He started walking on the Death Sentence Stage and glanced at the crowd. He then said: "The dead are already gone and I am not looking for the guilty party any longer, but my family has falsely accused General Liu Cang Lan. General Liu Cang Lan, the Divine Arrow, has always been loyal, devoted and courageous. He has always fought for the country. We can't forget that. I will report all of this to my father. I would like to grant Liu Cang Lan with the status of Imperial Minister and he will also retain his status as a general. Besides, we will grant Jiu Chi Xie with a posthumous title for his courage and loyalty."

He was conferring an imperial title upon Liu Cang Lan and a posthumous title upon Jiu Chi Xie.

For Liu Cang Lan, that didn't matter much, in Duan Ren City, he was already like a king.

As far as Jiu Chi Xie, what was the point in granting him a title? He was already dead.

But Duan Wu Ya's point was more about admitting that the Imperial Family had made mistakes. They had unjustly accused Liu Cang Lan, but they recognized his loyalty and courage.

"Uncle, do you agree with these things?" said Duan Wu Ya while looking at Duan Tian Lang. Duan Tian Lang was surprised and had no choice but to nod. They were rendering justice to Liu Cang Lan and at the same time establishing Duan Tian Lang's own guilt. Liu Cang Lan retained his title as a general.

"General, what do you think about it?" asked Duan Wu Ya to Liu Cang Lan. Liu Cang Lan still had Jiu Chi Xie's corpse leaning against him. He slowly looked at the Chi Xie troops. He looked expressionless.

"I, Liu Cang Lan, am grateful to the second prince, thank you for your kindness. I am willing to accept these titles." said Liu Cang Lan sounding indifferent.

"General." shouted the thousands of soldiers. How could he accept? Accepting meant letting Duan Tian Lang get away with it!

Liu Cang looked at the crowd. Many of the soldiers were looking at Lin Feng. Liu Cang Lan sighed but also felt gratified.

Lin Feng could now lead a whole army without Liu Cang Lan's help.

"Officer Jiu's last wish was to grant Lin Feng the status of Officer of the Chi Xie after his death. From today, Lin Feng, you are the officer of the Chi Xie army. I will first bring the soldiers back to Duan Ren City and then hand the army over to you. Forget about what happened today." said Liu Cang Lan. Immediately after, he jumped on a horse while carrying Jiu Chi Xie's corpse in his arms. A wave of sorrow filled the atmosphere, everybody could feel how desperate and sad Liu Cang Lan felt.

They had fought loyally for their country and this was how they were repaid.

When Lin Feng heard Liu Cang Lan, he calmly nodded. He, of course, knew what Liu Cang Lan had meant. He was hoping that no more blood of the people he cared about would be spilt, so he wanted Lin Feng to forget about what had happened with Duan Tian Lang.

If Lin Feng continued his verbal attacks against Duan Tian Lang, the blood of the soldiers would inevitably flow. Liu Cang Lan didn't want such a thing to happen again.

When Lin Feng saw Liu Cang Lan leave, he sighed. What a sorrowful hero.

Duan Wu Ya was relieved to see that Liu Cang Lan had accepted. Immediately after, he said: "Lin Feng, with your strategy, you managed to kill hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers and repel their army. Then, you travelled into the enemy country to rescue the princess and returned her safely to the imperial city. General Liu Cang Lan just granted you the title of Officer. I, as a representative of the Imperial Family, also confer Lin Feng a title, the title of Marquis and your fief is Yangzhou City."

Report chapter

"Marquis of Yangzhou City?"

The crowd was stupefied. Officer of the Chi Xie troops and marquis of the fief of Yangzhou…

In Xue Yue, those who had the most power after the imperial family were Imperial Ministers and directly below them was Marquis.

Some Marquis reigned over a village while some others reigned over a city, owning a city was required to be considered as a true marquis.

Even though Yangzhou City wasn't very big, Duan Wu Ya's move was of the highest significance, he had made Lin Feng into a true Marquis. He had given Lin Feng incredible power. From that moment, Yangzhou City belonged to Lin Feng.

Every inhabitant of Yangzhou was under Lin Feng's control and all of their lives belonged to him.

At that moment, a realization flashed through Lin Feng's eyes, he realized that Duan Wu Ya was honouring his promise. He had hoped that Lin Feng would perform meritorious acts during the war so that he could provide him with a social status. Now that Lin Feng was back in the Imperial City, Duan Wu Ya was granting Lin Feng with a social status and at the same, he was directly implying that Lin Feng was part of his faction.

"Thank you, Your Highness." said Lin Feng in a low voice. Of course, he wasn't going to refuse Duan Wu Ya's offer. There were many strong cultivators in Xue Yue and Lin Feng still wasn't extremely strong. Receiving such an opportunity was a great chance for him.

"Don't get too happy yet. My father still has to make the final decision." said Duan Wu Ya while smiling warmly. Even though he was saying that, the whole crowd knew that everything was already set in stone. The final decision was just part of the process, once the prince announced it, it was confirmed.

If Duan Wu Ya wasn't sure about what he said, he wouldn't have said it in front of everyone, if the decision was overturned, he would have lost face.

Lin Feng slightly nodded and remained silent. Duan Wu Ya turned towards Duan Xin Ye and said: "Xin Ye, that guy, Meng Chong, did he really attack you? Was Meng Gu Feng really there, on the gate with him?"

Duan Xin Ye looked at Duan Wu Ya and nodded: "Yes, everybody saw us outside of the Imperial City, Meng Chong gave the troops the orders to kill Lin Feng and me. Besides, Meng Gu Feng didn't want to allow me entry into the Imperial City."

"Hm." Duan Wu Ya slightly nodded and said: "Meng Gu Feng was an officer and he committed a terrible crime, he illegally granted power to Meng Chong, who then used that power to try and kill my little sister. A soldier of the Imperial City, who wants to kill the princess, deserves death."

When the crowd heard Duan Wu Ya, they were surprised, Meng Gu Feng and Meng Chong had already died, why was Duan Wu Ya still talking about them?

But at the moment, when they were asking themselves questions, Duan Wu Ya looked at Meng Han. The crowd was wondering what was going on.

Meng Han's heart also started accelerating. He had the impression that something ominous was going to happen. A moment before, he had made Duan Wu Ya lose face by supporting Duan Tian Lang……

"Officer Meng Gu Feng attempted to assassinate the princess. Even though he is dead already, his brother Meng Han is still the officer of the Imperial Guards. I think that it is necessary to carry out a full investigation, Meng Han, you are already not an appropriate choice to occupy the function of Officer of the Imperial Guards."

When Duan Wu Ya finished talking, people's hearts were racing. The second prince was extremely fierce and harsh!

Meng Han couldn't refute his argument.

Meng Han's heart violently pounded as well. He wanted Duan Wu Ya to die for finding such an excuse to dismiss him.

Meng Han turned around and looked at Duan Tian Lang, who remained silent. Duan Tian Lang was already in a critical situation himself, Duan Wu Ya hadn't decided what he wanted to do with him, otherwise, he wouldn't remain so polite. At that moment though, he didn't want to anger the second prince.

The second prince was fierce, intrepid and tough.

Meng Han saw that Duan Tian Lang remained silent, he then said to Duan Wu Ya: Your Highness, Meng Gu Feng committed crimes but what does that have to do with me? Even though he was my brother, I know nothing about that. How can you blame me and dismiss me from my function as an Officer of the Imperial Guard?"

"Meng Han, I didn't say that it had something to do with you either but Meng Gu Feng was involved in an assassination attempt on the princess of the imperial family. I, as the second prince, must investigate, it is my duty as I don't understand the whole situation. Wait until we have gathered all of the facts with a thorough investigation and if you are absolutely clean, you will be able to return to your post as an officer of the Imperial Guard."

Duan Wu Ya's argument sounded quite logical but everybody knew that Meng Han was being relieved of his position as an officer of the Imperial Guard, it would be extremely difficult for him to hold such a high position again. It was actually almost impossible.

"I, Meng Han, am innocent." said Meng Han coldly. He was standing tall and upright and fixedly staring at Duan Wu Ya.

At that moment, he was still in a position of power, with the Imperial Guards obeying his orders. If the second prince wanted to attack him, it wouldn't be that easy, however, as time went on, people would come to assist him.

"Meng Han, how audacious. How does he even have the courage to talk to the second prince that way?"

"It seems like there are some people from above supporting Meng Han." whispered the people far away in the crowd. Meng Han had immediately contradicted Duan Wu Ya, in front of everybody.

"Hehe."Duan Wu Ya laughed, his smile hadn't disappeared.

"Meng Han, what you mean is that I am groundlessly dismissing you from your functions? Do you mean that you will not obey my orders? You, Meng Han, intend to do what, keep your function as an officer by force?"

"How could I, Meng Han, not obey the second prince's order? It's just that the function of Officer of the Imperial Guard is very important. Apart from me, nobody else can do it. Besides, the Imperial Guards also consider me as their brothers, it is not their wish to see anyone replace me."

"Is that so?" asked Duan Wu Ya with an evil smile on his face which made Meng Han's facial expression change.

"Crrr, crr…."

A faint and subtle sound spread in the air. Meng Han was violently shaking and breathing heavily. Blood sprayed from his mouth.

Not only was Meng Han's heart pounding, but the crowd were also on edge from watching this.

Blood was unceasingly flowing from Meng Han's mouth. He lowered his head and only saw the tip of a silver spear that had pierced through his chest from behind.

The Imperial Guards were like his brothers and didn't want to see anyone replace him?

His voice was still resonating in people's minds but the reality was much harsher.

Meng Han moved his body, he wanted to turn around, but the spear was not moving. Suddenly, a deadly energy penetrated his body and destroyed his organs. The crowd was astonished. Blood sprayed out from his mouth and his lifeless body slowly collapsed onto the floor.

After Meng Han collapsed, the high-ranking soldiers who were behind him were absolutely calm. Their expression hadn't changed whatsoever. They all looked extremely serene and peaceful. There were about thirty guards in this high ranking group, they were all young but their coldness was enough to make other people's hearts feel a tinge of fear.

"Meng Han's brother, Meng Gu Feng, attempted to kill the princess, Meng Han refused to admit it and kept contradicting Your Highness over and over again. I, Yu Ji the non-commissioned officer of the Imperial Guards, killed him for his insubordination. Please forgive me for taking action, Your Highness." Yu Ji was kneeling down and bowing in front of Duan Wu Ya. Behind Yu Ji, the army of Imperial Guards remained motionless, all of them looked calm and serene as if they were not surprised at all, they almost agreed with how the events had played out.

Everybody was astonished by the coldness of that scene.

"Meng Gu Feng had been plotting against my little sister and wanted to kill her. Meng Han hasn't expressed any regret at all and refused to acknowledge his brother's crime. Besides, he was extremely rude to me. Even though Yu Ji killed Meng Han and that is a crime, it is still a sign of loyalty and devotion to the imperial family." Duan Wu Ya was speaking slowly and then continued: "Today, Meng Han died but it is required for the guards to have an officer. Yu Ji, you are, for the time being, promoted to the position of officer of the Imperial Guards."

"Thank you, Your Highness." said Yu Ji while respectfully bowing and kneeling down. Immediately after, he stood up, at the same time, the high-ranking Imperial Guards behind him also bowed respectfully and shouted in unison: "His Highness is wise and kind, we thank you for our new officer!"

All the ordinary Imperial Guards were stupefied and were just realizing what had happened. They then slowly knelt down and shouted in unison: "His Highness! Thank you for our new officer!"

These extremely loud voices were resonating through the crowd. People's hearts were violently pounding, they were unable to calm down.

How fierce and powerful. Duan Wu Ya could control the Imperial Guards so easily, his methods were intense.

If the crowd didn't know that Yu Ji was one of Duan Wu Ya's factions, all sorts of rumours would be spread.

Lin Feng calmly smiled at Duan Wu Ya but was still feeling a bit cold in his heart. Duan Wu Ya was dangerous, extremely dangerous.

"Everybody, stand up." said Duan Wu Ya while waving his hand. The ones who were still kneeling down slowly stood up but for a long time, they were unable to calm down. A position as important as officer of the Imperial Guard had been transferred so easily.

Duan Wu Ya's opinion was that there was nothing special or surprising about it. It was as if the Imperial Guard didn't mean that much to him.

"Yu Ji, now you are the officer of the Imperial Guard, you know what you have to do."

Yu Ji nodded and bowed while saying: "Your Highness, I will leave with the guards now and patrol the streets to ensure the residents' safety."

"Alright, you can go." said Duan Wu Ya while waving. Immediately after, several tens of thousands of guards left, only those from Duan Ren City, who were surrounding the Death Sentence Stage, were still there. Nobody could threaten them.

Duan Tian Lang and his son's facial expression was growing more and more hideous. Duan Tian Lang had wanted to kill Liu Cang Lan but at the crucial moment, Lin Feng had appeared with Duan Xin Ye. They had rushed over and killing Liu Cang Lan had become impossible, he was going to stay alive.

Besides, Duan Han wanted to marry Liu Fei. Using Liu Cang Lan's life as a bargaining tool, he had been blackmailing her, if she wasn't willing to engage in a relationship with him, he would turn his back on Liu Cang Lan, who would then die. Liu Fei hated him and didn't want to become his wife, she rejected his offer.

What was making them boil with envy was that Lin Feng had become a marquis, the officer of the Chi Xie army, and had obtained the control of his hometown. Besides, Duan Wu Ya had also appointed a new person to be the officer of the Imperial Guards. It was a crushing defeat for them.

All these things had happened because of one person: Lin Feng.

At that moment, Duan Tian Lang and his son were looking at Lin Feng with ice-cold glares.

Lin Feng turned around and looked at them. His face was filled with killing intent and he made no attempt to hide it.

"Lin Feng, we're stopping this for the time being." said Duan Wu Ya in a low voice when he sensed Lin Feng was ready to kill. Duan Tian Lang had a high status, he was a noble from the Duan Clan. Duan Tian Lang was a member of the Imperial family. Killing him isn't as easy as killing Meng Han, it would need a justified reason.

Lin Feng had no excuse to kill Duan Tian Lang at that moment.

"Yes, I understand, Your Highness. What happened today is over, for the time being." said Lin Feng while slightly nodding. The soldiers sighed. Duan Tian Lang would stay alive after all he had done, even though the blood of so many people was on his hands.

Of course, they weren't blaming Lin Feng. What he had done wasn't easy at all. If Lin Feng hadn't been there, Liu Cang Lan would have been executed and they would have been doomed as well, as they would have been considered as a rebel army.

"But….." At that moment, Lin Feng turned around and looked at Duan Tian Lang and Duan Han, he said: "What happened today is over for now, but last time, Duan Tian Lang brought an army to exterminate the Yun Hai Sect. The Yun Hai Sect turned into a bloodbath. I, Lin Feng, as a disciple of the Yun Hai Sect, need to get my revenge because of the hatred left deep within my heart. Therefore, the enmity between Duan Tian Lang and me will never end without his death."

The crowd was stupefied, it wasn't over. Lin Feng used to be a disciple of the Yun Hai Sect, therefore, he had an excuse for not letting past grievances be settled.

"So that's how it is. Duan Tian Lang exterminated the Yun Hai Sect, of which Lin Feng used to be a disciple, his hatred for Duan Tian Lang should be endless. How could he forget such a thing? Duan Tian Lang is his enemy and the hatred is too deeply engraved in his heart. There is no solution. With such justification, Duan Wu Ya cannot say anything either."

People in the crowd were all trying to understand the situation. Then, they saw Lin Feng turn around. He looked at the troops and at Ren Qing Kuang in particular.

"Officer Ren, sorry for causing you trouble, please take the troops out of the city and wait for me there. I have something to do here, I will come to you when I'm done." said Lin Feng to Ren Qing Kuang. Immediately, many started shouting from within the army.

"We're not leaving, the officer is here, we're staying."

"Yes, we will stay with our officer!"

The Chi Xie troops were shouting in protest. The crowd was surprised. Lin Feng was so young and his troops were already extremely loyal and devoted to him, these feelings were already deeply engraved into their hearts.

Surprisingly, even before Liu Cang Lan had assigned Lin Feng as their new officer, they have already regarded him as their leader.

"Get the hell out of here, all of you! If you don't hurry, I'll get angry." said Lin Feng sounding ice-cold. The troops were all a bit surprised.

"Officer Ren, sorry for the inconvenience."

Lin Feng coldly looked at the troops and then at Ren Qing Kuang. If they stayed with him, it would be the same as continuing to talk about the problems that happened on that day. Even though in itself, it was the same, it was no longer about the grievance between Duan Tian Lang and the Chi Xie army, Lin Feng needed to justify his reason for revenge because Duan Wu Ya was there.

Duan Wu Ya had freed Liu Cang Lan, giving him the title of Imperial Minister, he had given Lin Feng the title of Marquis, all these things were supposed to make them stop pursuing issues caused by the war, if Lin Feng continued, Duan Wu Ya would not tolerate it.

Therefore, at that moment, he gave a new reason, the Yun Hai Sect had been destroyed, the troops thus had to leave as it did not involve them.

"Alright." said Ren Qing Kuang. He perfectly understood Lin Feng. Ren Qing Kuang shouted: "Troops, listen to your orders, leave the Imperial City immediately!"

After saying that, Ren Qing Kuang turned around and slowly left. The troops, even though they were doing it against their own will, still obeyed Lin Feng's order and galloped away. Immediately after, Ren Qing Kuang also left with them. A short time later, all the troops had left the imperial city.

The area seemed deserted.

In the entire area, the only ones left were Lin Feng, Meng Qing, the Celestial Sword battalion, Duan Wu Ya, Duan Xin Ye, Duan Tian Lang and his son.

At that moment, Duan Tian Lang narrowed his eyes and evilly stared at Lin Feng. That boy wasn't going to give up.

Duan Wu Ya hadn't thought that Lin Feng would be so stubborn either, but Lin Feng had mentioned the extermination of the Yun Hai Sect and his status as a disciple of the Yun Hai Sect. Of course, his heart was filled with hatred.

"Lin Feng." shouted Duan Wu Ya at that moment. Lin Feng turned around and immediately heard him say: "Lin Feng, Duan Tian Lang is an imperial family member, his title of being an imperial family member is higher than that of marquis, more respectable, you cannot attack him."

"I know." said Lin Feng while slightly nodding. Duan Wu Ya was a bit surprised, since Lin Feng knew, what else did he want?

"Your Highness, Duan Tian Lang is a member of the imperial family and your uncle, his status is respectable and extremely high, I will obviously not attack him." said Lin Feng sounding detached. The crowd didn't understand him at all.

But then they heard Lin Feng continue: "However, back in the past, Duan Tian Lang had brought his son along, Duan Han, who helped him to slaughter the Yun Hai Sect, my sect. Duan Han is extremely arrogant and thinks he is better than me, he even said that I wouldn't withstand a single attack when we fought. Now, Duan Han, the young noble without an incredible status, is before me. I, Lin Feng, am already a Marquis. It should be enough for me to have a battle against him. Right here, right now, I would like him to enlighten me as he said he would in the past."

When the crowd heard Lin Feng, they immediately understood who his target was, it wasn't Duan Tian Lang but Duan Han.

Lin Feng was challenging Duan Han.

However, Duan Han, at that moment, would never want to fight. He remembered that day, at the Yun Hai Sect, he thought that he was extremely strong, but then at that moment, fighting against Lin Feng had become difficult for him.

Lin Feng had always been stronger than Duan Han. Duan Han didn't have the courage to fight against Lin Feng anymore. Duan Han felt awkward and was staring Lin Feng. He had a hideous facial expression. How was he supposed to accept Lin Feng's challenge?

"We refuse. Duan Han and I have things to do, we have no time." said Duan Tian Lang sounding cold and detached.

"Things to do?" said Lin Feng while smiling coldly. "Duan Tian Lang, when you went to destroy the Yun Hai Sect, did you ask the people of the Yun Hai Sect if they would accept?"

Duan Tian Lang narrowed his eyes. That was ridiculous, how could they accept?

"Duan Tian Lang, when the princess was taken away, your troops blocked my path and tried to kill me, did you ask me if I had the time?"

Lin Feng ignored Duan Tian Lang and continued: "Besides, Duan Tian Lang, when you and your son, set a trap in order to kill me which led to the death of hundreds of thousands from the Xue Yue army, then deserted the battlefield in order to rush back and try to have Liu Cang Lan executed, did you ask everybody else if they accepted?" Lin Feng's voice was growing louder and louder. A cold and deadly energy emerged from his body. Lin Feng, who was always calm, was furious.

How powerful, what Lin Feng meant is that there was no choice, he was fighting Duan Han regardless of who stood in his way.

Lin Feng had an evil smile on his face and was staring at Duan Han. He then said in an ice-cold tone: "Duan Han, back in the days, at the Yun Hai Sect, you considered everyone beneath your attention but our battle was not allowed an end. You have to treat a man as he treated you, today, we finish our battle."

When Lin Feng finished talking, he started walking forward, that battle could happen because of a single justifiable excuse, it wasn't about wanting to battle, it was about finishing their unfinished battle.

In the world of cultivation, Lin Feng was always moving closer to his goal of soaring in the clouds!

"Try if you dare!" shouted Duan Tian Lang furiously. He then started walking forward and a deadly Qi emerged from his body. Lin Feng surprisingly wanted to kill Duan Han, his son… how could Duan Tian Lang accept that?

"Stop!" shouted a furious Meng Qing. Ice Qi and force invaded the atmosphere. Meng Qing took a few steps and landed in front of Duan Tian Lang.

Duan Tian Lang also had the strength of the Xuan Qi layer. If Lin Feng wanted to kill Duan Han, how could he resist to Duan Tian Lang? Obviously, Meng Qing had to get involved, Lin Feng didn't need to say anything, that was obvious.

"Kacha!"

Even more ice appeared in the atmosphere. Duan Tian Lang was surprised, his facial expression was hideous. An incredible quantity of sword energy emerged from his body.

Duan Tian Lang had a blood spirit and had awakened the strength within his blood, but that strength was too weak, therefore, he was also using his sword spirit. Duan Han also had a sword spirit.

Dual spirit.

A long sword appeared which pointed towards the sky. His sword spirit and the sword in his hand seemed to be in perfect symbiosis, both as sharp as the other.

Besides, at that moment, Lin Feng was slowly walking towards Duan Han. Each and every step that Lin Feng took made Duan Han's heart beat grew faster. Duan Han didn't stop retreating backwards.

"Back in the past, at the Yun Hai Sect, you were high spirited, vigorous and daring… today, you are as scared a cowardly mutt who keeps on flinching… you don't even dare to fight."

Lin Feng said these words jokingly. He wasn't in a hurry to kill Duan Han. He was convinced that Duan Tian Lang would also remember Meng Qing and her strength, allowing him to see his son, Duan Han, get killed without being able to do anything in retaliation.

Lin Feng wanted to make Duan Tian Lang understand that, back in the days, he had the power to bully Lin Feng but now, Lin Feng could slowly kill his son right in front of him and he would not be able to lift a finger. He would show him how cruel he could truly be and make his son suffer in his place.

When the people saw Lin Feng slowly walking towards Duan Han, their hearts also started beating faster.

When Duan Wu Ya saw that Lin Feng wanted to kill Duan Han, an offspring of the Duan family, he surprisingly didn't try to block him which meant that he tacitly agreed.

"DIE!"

Lin Feng was getting nearer and nearer. Duan Tian Lang shouted loudly while his sword slashed through the atmosphere. An endless quantity of sword Qi appeared and slashed through the world of ice. The sound of sword energy clashing against ice energy filled the air.

"Ice Diamond." said Meng Qing in a low voice. She waved her hand and an ice crystal appeared and froze Duan Tian Lang's sword entirely.

Lin Feng was very near to Duan Han. A sharp and deadly energy completely enveloped Duan Han's body. It was filled with deadly Qi. Under that deadly energy, Duan Han didn't even have the courage to resist. Lin Feng's aura of a death god sufficed to make him tremble in fear.

"Could it be that you are afraid now? When you were at the top of the cliff face, you were cold bloodedly watching the Yun Hai Sect members get slaughtered, you were feeling comfortable and satisfied, right? When you and your father got a few hundred thousand soldiers killed, didn't you have the feeling that your plan was a great success?"

Lin Feng's voice sounded evil and its coldness invaded Duan Han's heart.

"Arrrghhhh!"

Duan Tian Lang shouted like an animal, abandoned his sword and jumped towards Duan Han.

"Frozen Heart." said Meng Qing in a low voice. Duan Tian Lang started shaking violently. He had the feeling that his heart was being completely frozen. Blood started flowing from his mouth.

But Duan Tian Lang didn't pay attention to that, all that mattered to him was his son, his son couldn't die.

"Oh, you came?" said Lin Feng with an ice-cold smile on the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, his silhouette disappeared, he was absorbed into the void of darkness.

"Die." said a voice coming from the void. The crowd saw, in the middle of that emptiness, a cross appeared. That cross was resplendent and dazzling to the eyes.

"Shhhh…."

The cross turned into a sanguinary sword. On Duan Han's neck there was a small cross, a small bloody cross.

Duan Tian Lang stopped moving. His mouth was wide open. He was just feeling infinitely cold as he was blankly staring at his son, Duan Han, who slightly lifted his head to look at his father. Duan Tan Lang could see the cross-shaped mark on his neck and the blood endlessly gushing out from it.

"Duan Han!" shouted Duan Tian Lang with a husky voice. He was shaking from head to toe. He grabbed his son and hugged him tightly. He saw his son's lips, which were moving, but he couldn't speak a word as he was drowning in his own blood.

At that moment, his son collapsed in his arms.

"Cough, cough." Duan Tian Lang coughed and blood was forced out of his mouth. He looked deathly pale. His son was dead, he had been killed by Lin Feng and died in his arms. At the moment, when he had almost reached his son, Lin Feng forced him to watch his son drown in his own blood.

Invisible like a shadow, invisible and silent, that was the Deadly Cross Shadow.

"It hurts doesn't it, Duan Tian Lang? Back then, at the Yun Hai Sect, when you slaughtered all those people, or after when you set a trap for a few hundred thousand soldiers, you were not thinking about their friends and their families, you also didn't think about the pain that they would have to go through." said Lin Feng, who was standing behind Duan Tian Lang watching the scene.

"Lin Feng!" furiously shouted Duan Tian Lang while releasing a deadly energy.

"You don't need to shout, I know that you wish you could hack me into a million pieces, I understand your hatred because I feel that hatred inside me, and my hatred is much more terrifying than yours." said Lin Feng sounding calm.

He then continued: "Now, it is between you and me. If you have an opportunity to kill me, feel free to try. Because if, someday, I have the opportunity to kill you, I will unleash my hatred and show you no mercy."

While talking, Lin Feng turned around, his silhouette flickered and he moved back to his original position. Immediately after, he said to Duan Wu Ya: "Your Highness, I am now taking myleave."

Duan Wu Ya slightly nodded and said: "Lin Feng, I will be waiting for your return in the Lovesick Forest by the lake."

Lin Feng muttered something to himself, but immediately after nodded and said: "Alright."

Lin Feng then waved. Those who were wearing bronze masks, even though their faces were covered, all had an aura of satisfaction, they looked inspired and enthusiastic.

Many of them used to be Yun Hai Sect disciples. Duan Tian Lang and Duan Han had annihilated the Yun Hai Sect which was why they had the slave marks carved into their faces. Duan Tian Lang and Duan Han were their sworn enemies.

When they saw Lin Feng kill Duan Han and force Duan Tian Lang into such a situation, how could they not feel satisfied?

They coldly glanced at Duan Tian Lang, then turned around and followed Lin Feng. Then, altogether, they galloped away.

Duan Tian Lang was showing no side of indignation or anger, he didn't do anything irrational. Meng Qing had already badly injured him. While Meng Qing was there, it was impossible for him to kill Lin Feng. If he attacked Lin Feng, Meng Qing would continue to inflict injuries.

Who was that beautiful girl, whose face was covered with a fine veil, and why was she following Lin Feng? She was extremely strong.

"Lin Feng, if I, Duan Tian Lang, don't kill you, my life will not be worth living." said Duan Tian Lang while feeling that his son's skin was growing colder and more lifeless. He uttered a long and mournful cry.

A strong wind blew over the area, everybody was feeling cold. They were looking at the silhouettes slowly disappearing. They all understood that Xue Yue had an incredible young genius.

He had confined enemy troops in a city, set it on fire, and killed hundreds of thousands of them. He had galloped over an endless distance, saved the princess and brought her back alive; he had killed an officer of the Imperial City; he had saved Liu Cang Lan who was about to get executed by Duan Tian Lang; he had become a Marquis and possessed a city and then he killed Duan Han in front of his father's eyes. Lin Feng's name was definitely going to be famous in the entire country.

Outside of the Imperial City, the army had gathered. At that moment, the city gate was open, a group of armored horses passed through it. Immediately, the crowd looked towards the gate.

Lin Feng looked at the whole crowd, he was a bit surprised, he looked startled, and moved forward.

Besides, three silhouettes rushed out to welcome him. These three people were precisely: Officer Ren Qing Kuang, officer of the middle troops; Officer Feng Yu Han, officer of the left troops; and Officer Lei Qing Tian, officer of the right troops.

"Is Uncle Liu in charge of all these troops now?" asked Lin Feng to the three officers. At that moment, outside of the city, all the soldiers were wearing red armor, riding Chi Xie armored-horses, they were all Chi Xie troops. Besides, the other officers were not leading them.

Nobody said anything, at that moment, the troops looked towards Lin Feng, and all jumped down from their horses and then all knelt down.

"We, the Chi Xie troops, welcome our new officer!" said the troops in unison, extremely loudly, making the ground shake. That drew the attention of many people, even of some who were far away. Lin Feng was astonished as well.

"Everyone stand up! What on earth are you doing?" said Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng."

Ren Qing Kuang galloped towards Lin Feng and then said: "Lin Feng, the General dismissed these troops."

"Dismissed the troops?" asked Lin Feng a bit surprised. What was Liu Cang Lan doing?

"But apart from a small minority of them who wanted to follow the general, everybody refused to leave. He only brought those troops who would only follow him back to Duan Ren City, leaving us behind to wait for you."

"Wait for me."

"Indeed, wait for you." said Ren Qing Kuang in a calm and solemn way. He then slowly said: "Lin Feng, the general said there was no point staying in Duan Ren City because if Mo Yue tried to attack again, there would be no force left to resist them. Therefore, the general told the whole army, to stay here."

"Lin Feng, now, you are a Marquis, you are the officer of the Chi Xie troops and since you own the fief of Yangzhou City… you can have your own personal army. The General told us to stay with you and pledge our loyalty to you rather than the country of Xue Yue. As your personal army, we can go to Yangzhou City, your fief. From now on, the Chi Xie army will listen to your orders, as well as ours."

Ren Qing Kuang's words made Lin Feng's heart pound. Liu Cang Lan was giving the elite troops of Xue Yue, the Chi Xie army, as well as its three officers, to him as his own private army?

In any case, he was now a Marquis, he had the space to accommodate his own personal army in Yangzhou City.

Then, the Yun Hai Sect………

"Sighh…."" Lin Feng raised his head to the sky and took a deep breath. He looked at Ren Qing Kuang and said: "I agree."

Report chapter

In the Lovesick Forest, it was as usual, misty, there was a thick fog floating above the ground. It looked like heaven on earth.

In the pavilion, two people were drinking Lovesick Alcohol. Duan Wu Ya was one of them.

The other one was a smart, elegant, handsome and spirited man. That man looked natural and unrestrained. At that moment, he was still wearing his armor, the armor of an officer. He looked majestic. It was the officer of the Imperial Guards: Yu Ji.

"What do you think?" said Duan Wu Ya sounding indifferent while sipping on his glass of Lovesick alcohol.

"Your Highness, before the battle, I had already secured the situation, all the Imperial Guards are now in our faction. Now, it is only about consolidating and purging. From today, the guards are yours, Your Highness."

"Oh." said Duan Wu Ya while lightly nodding. It was impossible to see if he was happy or worried. He was expressionless and uncommunicative.

At that moment, someone wearing black clothes was approaching and arrived at the pavilion, he slightly bowed in front of the second prince and said: "Your Highness."

"Nan Shan, sit down." said Duan Wu Ya while waving and smiling softly and warmly.

Nan Shan slightly nodded and immediately sat down opposite Yu Ji. He said: "Your Highness, Liu Cang Lan went back to Duan Ren City but he gave his army to Lin Feng. He wants them to stay with him."

"Great news." Duan Wu Ya paused and then said, while nodding: "Maybe then he'll be able to use them for a good cause."

"Yu Ji, the imperial guards need you, you should go back." said Duan Wu Ya to Yu Ji. Yu Ji slightly nodded and took leave. Immediately after, he left the pavilion.

Nan Shan, while looking at Yu Ji's silhouette leave, said: "Your Highness, congratulations on gaining the Imperial Guards."

Duan Wu Ya shook his head and said: "Today's greatest achievement is not the Imperial Guards."

"Duan Tian Lang, Meng Han and the others didn't care about Your Highness and worked against Your Highness. Meng Han is already dead, Duan Tian Lang is mourning over his son's death, the others should be perfectly aware of the situation as well." said Nan Shan. Duan Wu Ya was usually always so kind and soft. Because of that, many people forgot that he was also extremely powerful. Nan Shan had been following Duan Wu Ya for many years, he perfectly understood that the people who underestimated Duan Wu Ya would end up in tragic situations.

Even the extremely strong, powerful, ruthless and cruel high-official, the crown prince, didn't dare look down on his brother.

"That's not how it is." said Duan Wu Ya while shaking his head. Nan Shan was a bit surprised and immediately said: "Lin Feng."

"Indeed, that's Lin Feng."

Duan Wu Ya, while slightly nodding his head, said: "Everybody now knows that Lin Feng is one from my faction."

"Even though the Imperial Guards protect the city and constitute an important provision of force, in comparison with these troops, they are still too weak. These troops are my goal. Duan Tian Lang is too arrogant and looks down on everyone else, he's a moron. Surprisingly, he dared touch Duan Xin Ye, he doesn't know but from that moment, he doomed himself. He still thinks that there is a chance with my brother, but he's nothing but a dead man."

Duan Wu Ya, at that moment, didn't look like a friendly person. His eyes were filled with sharpness, brutality and coldness. He hadn't been worried about Duan Xin Ye being kidnapped by Mo Yue troops, they wouldn't have killed Duan Xin Ye but he hadn't thought that Duan Tian Lang would try to kill Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye on the way back.

Nan Shan could sense Duan Wu Ya's coldness. He knew that if Duan Tian Lang was still alive, but it was only a matter of time.

What Duan Tian Lang didn't understand was that he wouldn't be able to achieve his aim if the princess died, he would be doomed. No matter the winner, Duan Wu Dao or Duan Wu Ya, Dan Tian Lang would have been killed for murdering Duan Xin Ye.

Duan Tian Lang still thought that Duan Wu Dao would agree with him killing the princess. Maybe if Duan Tian Lang had the princess' blood on his hands, Duan Wu Dao wouldn't say anything initially but in the end, he would end up like everyone else who had committed a serious crime.

Such things were typical in political affairs. They were doing things behind the curtains, in secret, and things were difficult to understand. It was difficult to see where each piece was placed on the board.

"Nan Shan, you tell me, how can I get these troops?" said Duan Wu Ya. Nan Shan was surprised, shook his head and said: "I don't know."

Nan Shan knew what Duan Wu Ya meant, the most mysterious army of Xue Yue, the Snow-Dragon Guards.

The Snow-Dragon Guard unit was composed of the best cultivators within Xue Yue.

"It is absolutely normal for you not to know." said Duan Wu Ya while smiling: "The old man will, sooner or later, stop reigning over the country, allowing my brother and me to struggle for power and influence. Leading the ministers and so on will not be a problem but the one who manages to obtain the Snow-Dragon Troops, will be the real Emperor."

Nan Shan remained silent. He didn't know much about the Snow-Dragon Troops apart from the fact that they were extremely strong.

At that moment, Duan Wu Ya raised his head and gazed into the distance.

"Your Highness, I will leave now," said Nan Shan while getting up but Duan Wu Ya shook his head and said: "No need, stay here."

In the distance, Lin Feng had appeared. He was slowly and silently walking towards the pavilion, like a leaf floating on the wind, as if he was in perfect fusion with the earth. The energy which was emerging from his body was mysterious. Duan Wu Ya was a bit surprised.

"What is Lin Feng's cultivation level now?" thought Duan Wu Ya. Duan Wu Ya couldn't sense Lin Feng's cultivation level but it seemed like since he had gone to Duan Ren City, he had changed a lot.

"Your Highness." said Lin Feng, who had arrived at the pavilion a moment later. Duan Wu Ya nodded.

"Lin Feng, hurry up and sit down." said Duan Wu Ya looking friendly again. He once again looked easy to get along with. He seemed to be a warm and soft person.

Lin Feng slightly nodded and sat down opposite Nan Shan. This time, when Lin Feng entered into the forest, he didn't feel strange at all, it was obviously thanks to Duan Wu Ya.

"Your Highness, you asked me to personally come to the Lovesick Forest, what do you need to speak to me about?" asked Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, you don't need to be so meticulous with me. Above all, I invited you to show you my gratitude for having brought Duan Xin Ye back safely."

Duan Wu Ya poured some alcohol into Lin Feng's glass and immediately downed his glass.

Lin Feng grabbed the glass of alcohol and brought it to his lips, while drinking, he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the princess was missing, it was my duty to bring her back."

Lin Feng continued drinking the Lovesick Alcohol and a mysterious feeling invaded his heart.

"How's the feeling?" asked Duan Wu Ya while smiling.

"Even though I can't appreciate alcohol that much, I know that Lovesick Alcohol is unique and original." replied Lin Feng while smiling.

"What I want to ask you is if Xin Ye appeared in your heart while drinking Lovesickness." said Duan Wu Ya with a smile yet not a smile on his face. "Lin Feng, it seems that you do not have the same feelings as my sister."

Lin Feng was a bit shocked and then smiled wryly. That alcohol was supposed to make a person's most loved one appear in one's heart.

In Lin Feng's heart, except for the image of a pure and holy silhouette wearing long white clothes, there was also a small part which belonged to the princess.

He remembered that day at the Zi Government, Duan Xin Ye had really moved him to the extent that her silhouette appeared in his mind.

Besides, in his heart, there was another girl, wearing red clothes, she was gentle and demure.

Lin Feng was a bit perplexed, he believed in true love.

"Alright, this also none of my business, Lin Feng, I officially granted you a title, you can now officially claim it, you can also go to Yangzhou City to get your fief."

When Duan Wu Ya saw that Lin Feng remained silent, he also didn't insist, he instead changed the subject.

"At the end of the year, soon the annual new year's holiday will be upon us, I will go back at that moment." replied Lin Feng. He and his father had been expelled out of the Lin Clan so it was better to wait for a complete year to be over before returning."

Maybe he would be able to arrive for the Lin Clan annual meeting too.

"Alright, in a few days I will send people to the Celestial Academy to come and pick you up to officially to receive your title." said Duan Wu Ya.

"Alright." said Lin Feng while slightly nodding. "Your Highness, I would like to ask you for help… I need your connections to help me find someone…"

"Tell me who." said Duan Wu Ya while nodding.

"My father, Lin Hai." said Lin Feng slowly. Lin Hai said that he was going to the Imperial City but some many things had happened to Lin Feng and he didn't even know where his father was. Lin Feng had no news so he hoped that Duan Wu Ya would be able to help him as the city was extremely large.

"Your father, Lin Hai?" said Duan Wu Ya looking pensive, and then immediately nodded and said: "Alright, Lin Feng, leave it to me."

"Your Highness, thank you." said Lin Feng while nodding and saluting Duan Wu Ya with a cupped-hand salute. "If you, Your Highness, don't have anything else to add, I will take my leave."

"Alright, you can go." said Duan Wu Ya while nodding and not preventing Lin Feng from leaving.

Lin Feng abruptly left the Lovesick Forest, outside of the Lovesick Forest, there was a pure and holy looking silhouette waiting for him. When Lin Feng came out, they left together.

Report chapter

In the Peach Orchard of the Celestial Academy, leaves were floating in the air like beautiful women dancing in the wind.

The melody of the zither was floating on the wind just like the leaves of the peach trees. The melody could bring peace to anyone's heart.

In the middle of that elegant pavilion, a graceful hand was floating over the strings of the zither, the melody was enchanting.

Lin Feng, just like a diligent student, was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed respectfully listening to the melody.

At that moment, Lin Feng's eyes were closed and he was breathing peacefully, his body was surrounded by a cloud of Qi. If people had been there, they would find it very mysterious but there was nobody in sight. For Lin Feng, it seemed like there was nothing but the earth, he was in fusion with the earth.

Yan Yu Ping Sheng was a Xuan Qi layer cultivator.

If Lin Feng hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have never thought that Yan Yu Ping Sheng, the teacher who was also the examiner for the military students' entrance exam, had such terrifying strength and power.

While his fingers were floating over the strings of the zither, he could disintegrate soldiers and make them disappear into nothingness like dust.

Lin Feng felt endless respect for Yan Yu Ping Sheng, he was extremely powerful. Lin Feng held him in awe and veneration.

After a long time, the sound of the zither stopped. Yan Yu Ping Sheng raised his head and looked at Lin Feng, who, as before seemed calm and serene, as if he was sound asleep.

At that moment, Lin Feng opened his eyes. He had a smile on his face and looked even more handsome. He looked charming and intelligent.

"Lin Feng, originally, you were not in harmony with your heart's true intentions and that caused a hindrance in your cultivation, that was the reason why I had proposed to play the zither for you and teach you how to play, so that you could wash your heart clean from all the pollution, but now your power of comprehension is stronger than mine and you can already penetrate into the earth fusion dimension. Now, you can continue alone, you need to think, to learn more and understand more about heaven and earth, to the extent that you don't even need to listen to the zither any longer." said Yan Yu Ping Sheng, who was speaking slowly.

The Earth Fusion dimension was extremely difficult to reach. Since Lin Feng had managed to break through to that complex cultivation layer, after that, breaking through to the different layers would be a piece of cake, at least until he reached the Tian Qi layer.

It wouldn't be like Yan Yu Ping Sheng for whom it was very difficult to reach higher levels after having broken through to the Xuan Qi layer.

He had seen many geniuses, but he had never met someone like Lin Feng. Since Lin Feng could comprehend the earth fusion so well, people who had stronger talent than him were almost nonexistent.

"Teacher, I want to learn how to play the zither." said Lin Feng while slightly smiling. Lin Feng was very sensitive to the arts, especially to the zither. Not only did it help with meditating, but it could also be used to kill.

"Alright, if you want to learn, I will teach you. Besides, with the power of the earth fusion, it will be easy for you to learn. After a while, you'll play much better than me." said Yan Yu Ping Sheng. He had faith in Lin Feng. Lin Feng was a once in a lifetime genius. Lin Feng wasn't arrogant at all, he was very humble, he had a strong willpower and determination, besides, he was extremely talented, he was a real treasure.

Looking at such an outstanding young man was a pleasure for other people, they felt happy when seeing such a talented genius. Yan Yu Ping Sheng was particularly happy about the fact that Lin Feng wanted to learn how to play the zither, so Yan Yu Ping Sheng hoped to see Lin Feng surpass him in the future.

Yan Yu Ping Sheng took out some books and waved his hand which made them immediately float through the air towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng received the books and listened to Yan Yu Ping Sheng: "Lin Feng, learning how to play the zither requires the ability to listen. Now, you have proven that you are able to listen, you will now need to get to know the zither, you need to learn how to understand it, these books are very easy but amongst them, there are songs, and there are deadly zither skills as well. You can learn as much as you want and if there is anything that you don't understand, you can always ask me."

"Alright." said Lin Feng while slightly nodding. He packed the books and immediately after said to Yan Yu Ping Sheng: "Teacher, I'm leaving."

"Alright, you can go." said Yan Yu Ping Sheng while smiling. Lin Feng had said that he was leaving without being scared of offending Yan Yu Ping Sheng. He wasn't the kind of person who cared about such small things. Yan Yu Ping Sheng wasn't offended by something like that, on the contrary, he liked Lin Feng this way; honest and carefree.

The news that Lin Feng had already come back to the Celestial Academy had quickly spread. Everybody also knew about the great things that he had accomplished during the war.

Everybody also knew about the fact that, during the war, on the battlefield there was a song sung by Lin Feng which inspired passion within the troops. Besides, Lin Feng had created this himself, which definitely contributed to his artistic reputation.

These days at the Celestial Academy, many people were talking about Lin Feng's achievements but there were also many people who were talking about Lin Feng's cultivation level.

The Celestial Academy had four cultivation towers, three of them were separated according to the three different student paths.

There was another one, that one was a great catalyst for cultivation.

In that fourth cultivation tower, the pure Qi was also the thickest. It was the best tower for practicing cultivation. Besides, anybody could practice in that cultivation tower. Of course, the rule was always the same, one had to be strong enough to obtain a room.

At that moment, at the tower, there were some people looking up at the majestic cultivation tower, their eyes were filled with impatience.

Not all of them had the power to enter it, they were just admiring it.

Yun Xi was a new student at the Celestial Academy, she had broken through to the second Ling Qi layer which was not bad at all considering that she was only seventeen but at the Celestial Academy, that was nothing extraordinary.

"If only one day I could go into that cultivation tower and practice on the top floor, it would be great." said Yun Xi while looking up at the tall tower. That tower was different from the three others. The pure Qi was flowing against the current. At the top of the tower, pure Qi was denser than at the bottom.

Besides, in that tower, rooms didn't require additional purity stones depending on the floor, and by standing at the bottom, it was possible to see which rooms on which floor were available. Only one glance sufficed. Once someone was in a room, the door closed itself and the pure Qi started to circulate. Everybody could see from outside whether there was a free room or not.

Each floor only had a single room.

That cultivation tower was very special though, it was in the middle of all the other towers and was only used by extremely powerful cultivators. Many people, like Yun Xi, were only there to admire it. They all hoped that they would be able to practice cultivation in that tower someday.

"Yun Xi, stop dreaming." joked a girl wearing blue clothes next to her. "You should become the girlfriend of one of them and then he would take you inside."

"Yun Xi, last time, didn't Du Gu Shang show that he was interested in you? You could go with him." said the other girl immediately. She sounded like she was joking in a jealous tone.

Du Gu Shang was one of the ten ranked disciples of the Celestial Academy, he was ranked fourth.

In her thoughts appeared a noble young man, Yun Xi shook her head and said: "There is someone I like more than Du Gu Shang, it's Lin Feng."

"Lin Feng." the girl in blue clothes was stupefied. She looked at the top of the tower and said: "I heard that Lin Feng battled against Hei Mo last time and that he was extremely strong. Now he is known for his meritorious service during the war, he burnt an entire enemy army of hundreds of thousands alive. It's hard to imagine. He seems to be such a handsome and delicate young man, yet he is so daring and courageous. Besides, he seems he is about the same age as us."

"Yes, he is now a Marquis and owns a city. I heard that he came back to the Celestial Academy."

Yun Xi had a soft smile on her face She remembered that day, when Lin Feng battled against Hei Mo. She would never forget him. He was so young yet so frivolous and courageous.

"Moron." said the girl next to her. She sounded a bit cold: "Lin Feng is a marquis, so what? And even though he battled against Hei Mo, so what? That's a battle between cultivators of the fifth or sixth Ling Qi layer, however, Du Gu Shang is the fourth ranked disciple of the Celestial Academy and has already broken through to the eighth Ling Qi layer. He is the most majestic man alive, the fourth cultivation room is his, how could Lin Feng rival him? Besides, Du Gu Shang is also a noble cultivator, he is from the Du Gu Clan, which is extremely influential.

"Yun Xi, if you could even have a one night stand with Du Gu Shang, that would already be good. Don't expect anything more."

"Why don't you go and have a one-night-stand with him." said Yun Xi while frowning and feeling annoyed.

"You know nothing, if Du Gu Shang was interested in me, I wouldn't feel offended." said the girl while smiling coldly.

"Really?" said a voice, coming from behind, in the tone of a joke. These girls were surprised. They immediately turned around and saw an arrogant looking young man.

Du Gu Shang.

At that moment, Du Gu Shang was looking at Yun Xi. He said, in the tone of a joke: "Lin Feng is nothing. How could he rival me? You dare be interested in him instead of me, you must be blind."

The silhouette that Yun Xi saw in front of her looked conceited, filled with arrogance, the arrogance of the aristocracy.

Du Gu Shang was a rich and powerful person.

Du Gu Shang had heard about Lin Feng's achievements, people were talking about him everywhere. He had even just heard that people were comparing him with Lin Feng. Surprisingly, there were people who dared say that Lin Feng was better than him, like Yun Xi.

Du Gu Shang was in a bad mood because of that. What kind of person did this girl think he was? In the entire Celestial Academy, he was always practicing at the top of that tower, nobody dared to take his position, even the second in the ranking, Qiong Bi Luo and the third Wen Ao Xue. Du Gu Shang thought that because they had never had conflicts, he was different and better than them.

He respected Lin Feng even less, for him, comparing him with Lin Feng was a humiliation.

"Why couldn't I compare you with Lin Feng, as I see it, Lin Feng is better than you!" said Yun Xi when she heard that Du Gu Shang was criticizing Lin Feng which made Du Gu Shang furious.

"Shut the hell up!" he shouted.

"Smack!"

At that moment, a loud sound filled the air. Yun Xi had been slapped in the face, not by Du Gu Shang but by one of the girls who was with her.

"Yun Xi, you shut the hell up! Du Gu Shang is much better than Lin Feng. In front of Du Gu Shang, Lin Feng is mere trash, a nobody." said the girl extremely coldly. Her words and actions were harsh.

When Du Gu Shang saw that, a big arrogant smile appeared on his face. Indeed, in front of him, Lin Feng was a nobody.

At that moment, about a hundred meters away from them, a handsome silhouette had appeared, they raised their head and looked at the tall and majestic tower.

That young man was precisely the one they were discussing, Lin Feng.

Lin Feng then slowly turned his head and looked at Du Gu Shang and the others. He wanted to go to the cultivation tower and practice there until the end of the year, then he would go back to Yangzhou City but at that moment, on the road, many people were talking about him, even at the bottom of the tower, some people were arguing about him.

Lin Feng heard every word already but he couldn't be bothered with them. He didn't feel like going and proving anything to them, they were not worth his time. Many people were talking about him, he couldn't care about everyone, nature would take its course.

But at that moment, a girl was protecting his reputation and had been slapped in the face for defending him, she was being humiliated, Lin Feng frowned.

"Yun Xi, tonight, I will sleep with you, after that, we won't talk of this again and I will not punish you." said Du Gu Shang sounding extremely arrogant. How ridiculous! It was difficult for him to get a woman with his ugly face. He was interested in Yun Xi but if he had said it clearly, it would have been giving her face, but she surprisingly dared say that she found Lin Feng better than him, therefore, he would teach her the power of a noble over the course of the night.

"You…."

Yun Xi was stupefied, she was looking at that ugly and disgusting guy who wanted to take advantage of her. It would rather be an honour and a favour for her to sleep with him. What a shameless young man. He thought that he could freely humiliate those beneath him.

In fact, it was really that way, Du Gu Shang, really thought he could humiliate anyone as he wished, except for a few exceptions.

"If you don't reply, I will just help myself." said Du Gu Shang with a particularly evil smile on his face, Yun Xi's facial expression changed again, she turned deathly pale, what a disgusting and hideous man, however, she also felt powerless.

Not only did he have a very high status but he had also broken through to the eighth Ling Qi layer. Relying on his cultivation level and physical strength, he could easily capture her by force and use her as his toy.

"Yun Xi, Du Gu Shang is giving you a great opportunity, you are lucky, you'd be really shameless if you made him lose face." said the mean girl trying to flatter Du Gu Shang at the same time.

Yun Xi looked even paler. Being sexually assaulted by Du GU Shang for an entire night and then abandoned was a stroke of luck? The mean girl was shameless!

"You're so young and already so cheap, you are one promiscuous flower." said a voice interrupting them. It sounded cold and detached. It shocked the mean girl. She turned around and immediately saw a handsome young man, she frowned and said: "Who are you talking to?"

Last time, she hadn't seen Hei Mo and Lin Feng's battle so she couldn't recognize him.

"Apart from you, is there another cheap and trashy girl here?" asked Lin Feng in the tone of a joke. With those kind of girls, the only solution was to be harsher than them.

The mean girl was stupefied but Yun Xi suddenly seemed happy. She was blankly staring at the young man in front of her.

It was Lin Feng, surprisingly, it was Lin Feng.

Lin Feng had heard her and come to her rescue.

As before, he looked natural and unrestrained, but in comparison with before, he looked more mysterious and had a heroic spirit.

Du Gu Shang frowned as well. He didn't recognize Lin Feng either. Last time, during the battle between Hei Mo and Lin Feng, even though almost everybody had seen it, Du Gu Shang despised Hei Mo so he didn't go to watch his battle.

"Why don't you mind your own business?" said Du Gu Shang, who looked like he was in a joking mood.

Lin Feng coldly looked at Du Gu Shang, immediately after, he shook his head in disdain. That guy didn't know him yet he was talking behind his back, Lin Feng despised these types of filthy people and attached no importance to them.

Lin Feng looked at the mean girl and said: "I understand that for you, a one-night-stand with anyone is a stroke of luck, and since it is about giving face, it's clear that you have given a great deal of face and so you are very lucky!"

Lin Feng was speaking loudly and clearly so that everybody could hear, then, everybody looked at her and laughed. What she said was indeed utterly ridiculous, she was really shameless.

"I'm talking to you." said Du Gu Shang whose voice was sounding colder and colder. Lin Feng surprisingly wasn't paying attention to him. Du Gu Shang had a prestigious social status, how could Lin Feng ignore him in front of everybody?

Lin Feng slowly turned around and said to Du Gu Shang: "Do I know you?"

Du Gu Shang was astonished and then smiled coldly: "I, of course, don't know you so you most likely don't know me either. People who know me don't dare ignore me. What's your name?"

"You overestimate yourself." said Lin Feng while smiling and continued: "Even though I don't know you, I unfortunately heard your unsavoury name which is normal considering the you show off in front of everybody, Du Gu Shang."

"Huh?" Du Gu Shang narrowed his eyes. Lin Feng surprisingly knew who he was but still dared act that way towards him.

"Since you know who I am, I will show you my methods. Slap your own face, kneel three times and kowtow nine times, once you're done, I will forgive all of your mistakes from today." Du Gu Shang sounded cold and was releasing oppressing energy. His mouth was filled with endless arrogance and coldness. He thought that releasing a little bit of Qi and force would be enough to make Lin Feng collapse.

However, Lin Feng was calmly standing there, motionless, with a cold smile on his face. His facial expression hadn't changed at all. It actually seemed like Lin Feng hadn't sensed the oppressive energy at all.

"Slap my own face? Kneel three times and kowtow nine times?" Lin Feng raised his head and slowly walked towards Du Gu Shang. Du Gu Shang was surprised and released more and more of his Qi.

"With so little Qi and force, don't you think that you're making a fool of yourself?" said Lin Feng making the whole crowd look on while astonished. What an insane guy, humiliating Du Gu Shang.

Besides, Lin Feng was a military student so his fellow military students were all excited, especially since Du Gu Shang was a political student.

"You can only talk big." said Du Gu Shang who released an even stronger energy which pressures the entire atmosphere.

Around Lin Feng's body appeared sword Qi, it was extremely powerful, his entire body was like a sword, extremely sharp.

The crowd was astonished. Their hearts were pounding. These energies were… terrifying.

Was this the same Lin Feng who had fought against Hei Mo?

Du Gu Shang also started shaking violently, he was stupefied by Lin Feng.

"How is this possible? How could you be so strong?" Du Gu Shang couldn't believe it his eyes. He had never seen Lin Feng. Besides, he was so young. At that moment, he was releasing sword energy, the energy looked extremely solid and thick.

At the academy, there wasn't such a strong student.

While Du Gu Shang's heart was pounding, Lin Feng had arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

The Earth Fusion wasn't only embodied by Lin Feng's sword-play. It also affected Lin Feng's speed, he had broken through to a special cultivation dimension. Since he was in perfect symbiosis with the earth, he could move using the power of the earth.

"WHAP!"

Du Gu Shang's body was blown away. A large red mark appeared on his face, the mark was from an open hand slap.

The crowd was stupefied. How scary. He was a cultivator of the eighth Ling Qi layer and he was also ranked fourth amongst the top disciples of the academy… Surprisingly, he couldn't withstand a single slap from Lin Feng and was sent flying.

The mean girl was also astonished. Her mouth was wide open. She looked as if she had seen something absolutely extraordinary.

Du Gu Shang, who was extremely powerful and influential, had been slapped in the face by a young man. Who was he?

Yun Xi looked happy and amazed, Lin Feng was so frivolous and unruly.

The view of Du Gu Shang getting slapped was even more shocking than seeing Hei Mo being defeated.

"Alright."

"He deserves to be one of the military students, these students in governmental affairs can only talk big but in reality, they cannot withstand a single blow." said the people in the crowd, as expected, many people couldn't stand Du Gu Shang.

Du Gu Shang's facial expression was terrifying, he looked like an injured animal, he was looking at Lin Feng in a ice-cold way and said: "Who are you?"

"Me?" said Lin Feng while pointing at himself and then immediately said, sounding cold and detached: "I am a nobody, I cannot rival you." said Lin Feng in the tone of a joke. Yun Xi giggled, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. If Lin Feng was a nobody, what was Du Gu Shang?

"A nobody?" for a moment, Du Gu Shang didn't understand, then he heard some people laugh who were saying: "How ridiculous, he was making fun of him, saying that that he couldn't rival with him but now that he's facing him, he got slapped silly and cannot even withstand a single blow. If I were him, I wouldn't in the imperial city, I would get the hell out of here and run as far as I could go."

When Du Gu Shang heard that person making fun of him, a hideous expression appeared on his face.

Lin Feng.

He finally understood thanks to that person who was making fun of him. The one who had just slapped him was Lin Feng. He had just said that Lin Feng couldn't rival him.

At that moment, the mean girl was shaking. Lin Feng, that was Lin Feng…

Actually, he was much stronger than Du Gu Shang.

"You will regret what you did today." threatened Du Gu Shang sounding cold and detached. Immediately after, he turned around and started leaving. He had been humiliated, he couldn't stay there.

"Wait, wait." said Lin Feng in a cold tone.

Du Gu Shang thus stopped and slowly turned around. He then looked at Lin Feng in a cold way.

"Are you thinking of leaving like that?" said Lin Feng as if he was amused.

"What do you want?" said Du Gu Shang who was surprised. Would Lin Feng dare to continue?

"A moment ago, you wanted me to slap my own face, kneel three times and kowtow nine times in front of you. Now, you found out that you are much weaker than me, do you think that you can leave that easily?" Lin Feng made it sound like he had no choice but to follow Du Gu Shang's lead and continued: "What kind of person do you think I am?"

When the crowd heard Lin Feng, they got excited. They wanted to see what Lin Feng would do to Du Gu Shang.

"Show me how it is done, slap your own face, kneel three times and kowtow nine times in front of me." said Lin Feng sounding imposing, domineering, and whose voice was even colder. His smile had disappeared, and his tone had become sharp, like his sword.

"You want me to slap my own face, kneel three times, and kowtow nine times in front of you?" said Du Gu Shang, who couldn't believe it, Lin Feng dared request such a thing from him?

"It seems that when I speak, people like you think they can ignore me, therefore I will have to do it myself." said Lin Feng in a low voice. Suddenly, he rushed forward like a madman, his silhouette vanished in a flash, without hesitation, he unleashed an attack.

Du Gu Shang's heart was pounding, how fast was Lin Feng! In a flash, Lin Feng had arrived in front of him and Lin Feng's finger was pointing at him.

The tip of his finger was filled with sword Qi and it suddenly rushed towards Du Gu Shang at incredible speed.

Hastily, Du Gu Shang raised his fist to block the attack but suddenly, a long and horrible shriek filled the air, Du Gu Shang's face suddenly turned deathly pale. His fist had been impaled by Lin Feng's finger.

"WHAP!"

Lin Feng slapped Du Gu Shang once more and the sound echoed through the atmosphere.

"WHAP! WHAP! WHAP!….."

Lin Feng was unceasingly slapping Du Gu Shang's face, the crowd was watching, blankly staring at that scene. Du Gu Shang's arrogant face was going through a thorough beating and his heart was filling with coldness.

Du Gu Shang had been ignorant. Lin Feng was playing with him as if he was a toy. Lin Feng was violently slapping his face in front of everyone.

"Since I have to do it myself, there is an extra fee included."

When Lin Feng stopped talking, two loud sounds successively filled the atmosphere. Du Gu Shang was kneeling down and crawling on the ground and kowtowing in front of Lin Feng. He was extremely proud and usually so arrogant, this was a huge humiliation for him.

His heart was pounding and he was sweating cold sweat. What a cruel guy!

"If I am a nobody who cannot rival you, what are you doing kneeling down and kowtowing me?" said Lin Feng in a disdainful way while glaring at Du Gu Shang who was crawling on the ground. Du Gu Shang had just broken through to the eighth Ling Qi layer, when facing a cultivator in the Earth Fusion Dimension, he basically couldn't withstand a single finger.

Lin Feng had already fought against cultivators of the Xuan Qi layer and nearly killed one.

Du Gu Shang lowered his head, his heart was filled with endless hatred and wrath. A moment later, a foot pressed against his lower-jaw and he heard Lin Feng's cold voice.

"Get lost!"

Lin Feng only said these two words and Du Gu Shang's body was sent flying away.

Lin Feng didn't look at him anymore, he then turned to Yun Xi, warmly smiled at her and said: "If you want me to take care of her, I'll immediately handle her."

By "her", Lin Feng obviously meant the mean girl. At that moment, the mean girl was shaking and her heart was pounding.

Yun Xi just said, in a cold and detached way, in the tone of a joke: "It's best not to touch such filthy people."

"Alright, forget it then, I don't like touching them either." said Lin Feng while laughing softly. Immediately after, he pointed at the fifth room of cultivation tower, it was empty, it was the place Du Gu Shang had seized.

"You want to go into the cultivation tower?"

Yun Xi shivered, she looked at Lin Feng and said in a soft voice: "I cannot go in."

"I'll help you." said Lin Feng while smiling. He grabbed her hand and started walking. Immediately after, Lin Feng jumped into the air.

Yun Xi was having a panic attack, she closed her eyes in fear and she could barely open them, she realized that she was high in the air and flying, her heart was pounding from fear of falling. Then, she looked at the handsome young man on her side and her heart was filled with endless softness and tenderness.

"What an amazing agility technique." thought the crowd when they saw Lin Feng and the girl. He was high up in the air, how powerful!

When he arrived high in the air, Lin Feng stood on the energy from the atmosphere and started walking on the invisible force. Lin Feng and Yun Xi shot across the sky like an arrow and landed on the fifth room of the cultivation tower which was a few hundred meters in the air.

When Yun Xi saw the small silhouettes on the ground beneath the tower, she had the impression she was in a dream and nothing was real.

"Train hard." said Lin Feng while smiling at Yun Xi. Immediately after, he moved again and was immediately on the third room. He immediately entered in a room.

There was nobody in the third room either. It belonged to the death god Wen Ao Xue. Lin Feng obviously could use the room if he pleased.

If there had been nobody in the other rooms, he would have gone there as well, regardless of who they belonged too.

Concerning Yun Xi, when she saw Lin Feng move away, her dream to practice in that cultivation tower had become reality but she wasn't excited, in her heart, she felt like she had lost something.

Everything was like a dream, but that natural, unrestrained and frivolous young man was just a passerby. He was so outstanding that she would only be able to look up at him in the sky spreading his wings and flying away.

What Yun Xi didn't know was that, at that moment, the two girls with whom she had come with were still down on the ground and were jealous of her. They envied her because having the opportunity to practice in that tower was something that they were all yearning for.

Concerning the mean girl, at that moment, her heart was filled with regret.

The people in the crowd had different facial expressions. Lin Feng seemed to be a person that nobody could prevent from moving forwards.

At that moment, nothing of what had happened was present in Lin Feng's heart. At that moment, in his heart and thoughts, there were only three things, the strong cultivator's memories that were separated into three parts.

They were all extremely powerful.

Report chapter

The Surplus Souls technique could divide the soul into many surplus souls filled with extreme power, the power to control the ten thousand things of creation.

Lin Feng was drowned in these memories. He was inspecting the martial skills and agility techniques that the Zun cultivator had been using, they were extremely powerful. There were also things about fabricating weapons and concocting pills. They required the usage of surplus souls. After he learnt how to master the Surplus Souls technique and having to strengthening his soul, then it was possible to practice the other techniques. Everything would be easier to learn with a stronger soul, besides, the power to control energy would be enhanced.

Therefore, Lin Feng, after analyzing the situation, had decided to practice the Surplus Souls technique.

Before being able to learn how to use Surplus Souls, Lin Feng had to first comprehend the soul and how it functioned. It would enable him to have a clear and distinct perception of the existence of his soul. It would enable him to pierce through the mysteries of the soul. He would be able to transfer his thoughts directly into his soul.

This was however the most basic step. The technique included a method to visualize the soul and understand its complexities.

Besides, Lin Feng had access to the earth fusion dimension and had a strong power of comprehension. He only needed a few days to master the method of visualizing his soul.

Lin Feng didn't know that the strong cultivator during his training, had required two years to be able to see his soul. Lin Feng could do it in such a short time thanks to the earth fusion and because his soul was already very powerful.

At that moment, in Lin Feng's mind, he could see a dark illusion of himself, as if it was his dark self, a black silhouette, as if was the essence of his soul.

In his previous life, Lin Feng didn't dare to imagine looking at a spirit. On the path of cultivation, it was said that after dying, one could see their own soul, besides, it was also said that it was possible to transfer the power of the souls.

The second step of the technique of the Surplus Souls was the spirit movement, it was about comprehending the soul on a much higher level, it was about being able to control the soul and move it to your will, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to use the surplus soul and it would be useless.

In comparison with the first step, which was also about understanding the soul, Lin Feng found the second step was much easier. He was quickly able to achieve the spirit movement and even managed to make his soul leave his body and move as a spirit.

The third step of the technique of the Surplus Souls was the incomplete soul, it was the most critical step.

This step was different from the two others. The incomplete soul was the main part of the technique which made it so powerful. This step was extremely important. While practicing cultivation, the soul would separate into many surplus souls, one or two, but a strong cultivator could obtain a hundred or a thousand surplus souls. The most terrifying cultivators who existed could obtain billions of surplus souls to an almost endless number. The strength of the soul was as vast and powerful as the universe.

Lin Feng was sitting cross-legged. At that moment, in the air, there was a shadow floating in the atmosphere. If somebody had been there and could see that shadow, they would have realized that it looked like a perfect double for Lin Feng. That was Lin Feng's soul.

At that moment, Lin Feng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. There was an image in Lin Feng's hand, he then exhaled and said in a low voice: "Split!"

After that, an invisible strength spread through his body and a violent pain overcame all of his senses, he started shaking and his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would burst.

How painful! Lin Feng had the feeling he was being cut into pieces by a thousand swords. The pain was similar to when his Celestial Spirit was awakened. Lin Feng immediately fainted. He couldn't stand the intense pain that filled his consciousness.

At that moment, Lin Feng felt another pain within his soul.

Lin Feng's soul started to struggle, a small black piece was reluctantly torn from Lin Feng's soul. That black piece turned into a surplus soul. At that moment, Lin Feng's body was shaking and shivering, he was agonizing, the pain was unreal.

Finally, the surplus soul was formed and floated in the air. It was a very small part of Lin Feng's soul.

His entire body was covered with a cold sweat. Lin Feng couldn't help but smile wryly. Practicing cultivation required an infinite amount of determination. He had only managed to make a single surplus soul. The technique of the surplus souls was revered but many cultivators wouldn't dare practice it because of the risks. If a cultivator wanted to divide his spirit into a thousand surplus souls, he had to endure terrible pain for each soul. Besides, there was still a chance that it could fail and not form a surplus soul. Sometimes, they would even stop when splitting their soul as the pain was too much.

Only those who had an iron determination could practice such techniques, without determination and willpower, the body and the mind would not be able to handle such incredible pain.

Lin Feng's heart fluctuated again. That small black surplus soul floating in the air moved towards the whole soul, they seemed to be in harmony with each other as if they were connected, yet they remained separate.

Lin Feng calmly took a few breathes, which allowed him to calm down. His heart started to violently pound again as his body became tense, this was what it took to understand the soul, suddenly a new surplus soul appeared.

With an incredible strength, it was possible to reach the heavens, to receive other people's worship, but how difficult was it? One had to go through incredible pain, but to what extent?

Only those with an indestructible willpower and determination could reach the heavens and were able to reach great achievements.

The Zun layer cultivator could kill millions of people and be worshipped, while a weak cultivator could only get bullied and humiliated. For example, during the war, Han Mo and Yan Yu Ping Sheng had appeared, they could kill a few thousand soldiers very easily, with them involved, it was easy to determine the outcome of a battle. One attack carried out by them from the sky could annihilate an endless amount of soldiers on the ground. A melody from a zither could leave the battlefield littered with corpses.

These people were extremely strong, Lin Feng needed to become stronger. He needed to reach the heavens and have the power to kill anyone who would bully him.

Lin Feng wasn't aware of how much time had elapsed. At that moment, outside of the tower there were many people who were calmly waiting.

Amongst them was a from the government of the Imperial City.

Lin Feng's titles were ready and he could receive them officially, but he was still in the cultivation room which could not be disturbed.

The person sent by the government didn't leave, he also didn't disturb Lin Feng. He was only waiting there calmly. He didn't look impatient or annoyed at all.

Many people were waiting outside of the cultivation tower as well and were surprised. That person had already arrived a few days back and was surprisingly still waiting for Lin Feng. Lin Feng was really prestigious.

That person from the government didn't even dare to disturb Lin Feng in his cultivation room. He was waiting there even though he didn't know how much time Lin Feng would need before being done with his practice.

At that moment, when looking up at the majestic tower, more precisely at the fourth room, the door of the closed cultivation room started moving and slowly opened itself. The crowd was stupefied.

A silhouette came out of it. That silhouette immediately jumped in the air and at the moment when it fell down to the ground, an invisible energy emerged and positioned itself to cushion the shock. The silhouette gently landed on the ground.

That person was wearing a long gown, carrying an ancient sword on his back. It was precisely Lin Feng.

When the person from the Imperial City saw him come down, they smiled and went towards him while saying: "Lin Feng, Your Highness has asked us to come and hand this certificate to you which certifies your titles. From now on, you are the owner of Yangzhou City."

After that, the person handed over a certificate to Lin Feng which was purple and gold in colour.

"Thank you and sorry for the trouble." said Lin Feng while receiving his certificate. It was written in big and majestic characters, "Chi Xie Officer, Marquis, Yangzhou City Fief".

"You're welcome. I have fulfilled my duty. I'm leaving now."

That person smiled again and immediately turned around as they abruptly left. That person had been waiting there for a few days to personally deliver the titles to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng packed up his titles and smiled. He turned around and looked at a person who was glaring at him. It was Du Gu Shang who was staring at him with an evil look.

On that day, after having been humiliated by Lin Feng, he had gone back to his clan to bring people to kill Lin Feng but his clan refused to fight against Lin Feng. In the future, his clan forbade him from causing Lin Feng any trouble.

Written on Lin Feng's robe was a name, "Duan Wu Ya", if he killed Lin Feng, he had to remember that he was part of Duan Wu Ya's faction.

Even though Du Gu Shang hated him, he still had no say in the matter. If he didn't receive the help of his clan. Relying on his own strength, he couldn't kill Lin Feng.

Lin Feng raised his head, looked at another room of the cultivation tower. The door was still closed. Yun Xi was probably still inside.

"Du Gu Shang, if anything happens to her, no one can save you." said Lin Feng extremely coldly, deadly Qi was released from his body. Du Gu Shang was astonished and terrified, he was shaking. Lin Feng had only said a few words but it had been enough to terrify him.

Du Gu Shang's facial expression was extremely ugly. He really wanted to teach Yun Xi a lesson., but Lin Feng was threatening him. Besides, being threatened by Lin Feng was a new humiliation. His cheeks were burning. Everybody was looking at him and laughing.

"Don't forget what I said." said Lin Feng indifferently. Immediately after, he left. The end of the year was approaching, Lin Feng had to go back to Yangzhou City.

On an ancient road, there were many people on horses galloping towards Yangzhou City.

Galloping on the ancient road was notably one girl. She was wearing a red chang pao. She looked powerful and was also very beautiful. Her eyes revealed her arrogance.

"Qian Qian, this time, when we arrive in Yangzhou City, you will be able to demonstrate your extraordinary talents and abilities. Everybody in the clan will be extremely proud of you."

At that moment, a young man said that to girl in the red chang pao. He looked excited. That young man was Lin Hong.

Next to Lin Hong was Lin Qian, his sister. Everybody in the Lin Clan was proud to be associated with Lin Qian.

These days, Lin Qian had become more mature, the Qi emerging from her body was extraordinary.

One year in the Imperial City had enabled Lin Qian to advance from the first Ling Qi layer, to break through to the fourth Ling Qi layer. She was a real genius. She had gone through such difficult training to accomplish those results. Lin Qian wanted to become a dragon amongst mortals. She was arrogant and wanted to look down on other people from above. Such a personality required her to have a strict determination, in order to unceasingly become stronger.

"Brother, you are also quite strong. There aren't many who can rival with you in Yangzhou City." said Lin Qian calmly. The sound of her voice floated in the wind and reached Lin Hong's ears which made a smile appear on his face. After having acquired both wealth and prestige, they were going back to their hometown where everybody would be proud of them.

"Qian Qian, I'm still too weak in comparison with you." said Lin Hong while smiling. Actually, she was indeed much stronger than him. Besides, one of the eight high-officials, Chu Zhan Peng, was interested in her which made a lot of people envious. Lin Qian and her friends were all disciples of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue and they were more talented than Lin Hong, but he was happily following his sister in the group. Chu Zhan Peng was their source of inspiration.

Lin Feng was the piece of trash that the Lin Clan expelled. The last time they saw him, he was extremely strong. They hadn't seen him for a while but no doubt that he had become even stronger.

Lin Qian didn't know about Lin Feng's new title of Marquis, Lin Hong and her had been practicing in a cultivation room until the annual meeting. They wanted to be as strong as possible when they went back to Yangzhou City.

Right after leaving her cultivation room, she jumped on horseback and rushed to Yangzhou City.

On the same ancient road, there was another girl wearing fire-red clothes, she was also riding a horse and rushing to Yangzhou City.

Na Lan Feng looked at the young man next to her. She was smiling softly and tenderly.

"Du Gu, thank you for accompanying me to Yangzhou City." said Na Lan Feng.

She was a girl in love. Du Gu Xiao was a member of the Du Gu Clan. The Du Gu clan was a clan tied to the imperial court. He had powerful connections. Besides, he was also extremely powerful. He was Na Lan Feng's boyfriend.

Na Lan Feng and Du Gu Xiao had been in a relationship for two years now but it was secret. Na Lan Feng didn't take offense though because she was proud to be Du Gu Xiao's girlfriend and she was in love.

Na Lan Feng was the daughter of the Na Lan clan of Yangzhou, but in comparison with the Du Gu clan who had ministers within the court, the Na Lan clan was nothing. They were not even worth looking at. Na Lan Feng knew this was the case, but Du Gu Xiao had accepted to go accompany her to Yangzhou City which was giving her a great deal of face. She was very touched by him accompanying her.

We've been together for so long, I told you, I will help you rise through the social ladder." said Du Gu Xiang calmly. Na Lan Feng looked delighted. Obtaining a higher social status was her biggest ambition.

"Eeeya!"

Na Lan Feng urged on her horse which dashed faster, making her long hair and red clothes flutter in the wind. Her heart was galloping at full speed, just like the horse.

"Lin Qian of the Lin Clan, I wonder if you can fight against me?"

Na Lan Feng looked extremely impatient. This time, in Yangzhou City, everybody would see Du Gu Xiao escorting her and would be surprised.

At that moment, Lin Qian and Na Lan Feng were going back to Yangzhou City as heroes and expected everyone to worship them. They thought that everybody was going to consider them as goddesses.

Lin Qian and Na Lan Feng didn't know that, at the moment when they had already been travelling for a while, rushing over to Yangzhou City, outside of the Imperial City, two extremely precious dragon-colt horses had just departed.

There was a handsome young man and a beautiful young girl riding these two Dragon-Colt horses.

The boy was handsome and clean, he looked heroic. The girl was wearing clothes whiter than snow and was extremely beautiful. She looked like a celestial being.

Lin Feng turned around and looked at the Imperial City from outside. Life was so fleeting. Time passed at the speed of light. Nobody could predict anything.

Lin Feng could still remember the year before when he and his father were expelled from the Lin Clan. Back then, he had shown Yangzhou City how strong he was and returned to the Yun Hai Sect.

But when he arrived at the Yun Hai Sect, it was destroyed and its members had been slaughtered. Lin Feng had then gone to the Imperial City and had joined the Celestial Academy. Concerning the future, it was filled with uncertainties.

A year had already passed and Lin Feng was just as determined and motivated as before. He was high-spirited and full of determination. That year hadn't been like the others, he had gotten familiar with this new world and gained his own power.

For someone who had come from another world, he had quickly become accustomed to the world of cultivation. He had broken through to the eighth Ling Qi layer and had learnt how to penetrate into a special cultivation dimension, the earth fusion dimension. Everybody found his talent amazing.

Lin Feng was looking at Meng Qing, who was riding next to him, he had a soft and tender smile on his face. It had only been a short time since he had met the young girl, but she was following him everywhere. Without complaining, she just silently and secretly followed him everywhere. Everything she did was for Lin Feng as if that girl had been sent from heaven to watch over him.

Meng Qing noticed that Lin Feng was staring at her. She had a strange facial expression for a second and then looked at the vast and boundless road before them. She was calm, serene yet as cold as ice, like an ice goddess.

"Meng Qing, do you remember the first time we rode a horse?" said Lin Feng while smiling. Meng Qing slightly nodded, of course she knew.

"Well then we should ride one horse, like we did back then." said Lin Feng with a sly smile. He then jumped up in the air and immediately landed behind Meng Qing.

The Dragon Colt horse neighed and galloped even faster, which made Meng Qing's body lean backwards against Lin Feng's chest, he took advantage of the situation and took Meng Qing into his arms. Both of them were extremely close to each other as if they were in an embrace.

That move made Meng Qing shiver from head to toe. This guy…….

"I will lead the horse." said Lin Feng while smile wholeheartedly. He then grabbed Meng Qing's hands which were holding the reins and the horse galloped even faster.

When Meng Qing sensed Lin Feng's hands holding hers, she felt an electric shock run through her body. She could feel Lin Feng's chest pressed against her body, she had a strange sensation in her heart, as if she was floating on clouds. She didn't push him back. She just calmly sat on the horse, leaning against Lin Feng's chest.

It was very calm, peaceful, and warm.

In a distant place, quite far from Yangzhou City, there was a chain of mountains. Surprisingly, there were many people on one of the mountains and they were very agitated.

These people all released a strong Qi, some of them were fighting, some others were practicing cultivation to the side.

On the mountain, there were also many horses, Chi Xie armored-horses.

In the mountains, above a precipice was a single silhouette. That man was closing their eyes and could feel the wind against his body. He had the impression of being absent from the material world.

That person stayed like that for a while and then abruptly opened his eyes, the dazzling light of a blade flashed through his eyes. On that person's face, a huge word was carved: Dao. That person looked extremely brutal and aggressive.

"Blade of the Wind!" said that person in a low voice. A long blade cut through the air like it was a blade made from wind. It was almost invisible and inaudible, except for a magnificent and resplendent silver light which was diffused.

"Kacha!" a small sound emerged and in the distance, a huge rock was cut into pieces.

"Hehe…." Ba Dao seemed satisfied of himself. He put his blade back in his back and gazed into the distance. Immediately after, in the distance, he saw two silhouettes riding one horse coming towards the mountain where there were many people.

"He finally arrived." When Ba Dao saw the two people approaching, he seemed really happy and smiled. The Chi Xie troops had been waiting there in the mountains for them, they were waiting to go to Yangzhou City.

The end of the year in Yangzhou City was a happy event. The juniors who were practicing outside of their hometown usually came back to see their families. At that moment, Yangzhou City was lively.

The guards raised their heads on the top on the gate. They looked domineering and majestic.

There was a continuous flow of pedestrians whispering things in the city.

"Have you heard that the prodigy of the Lin Clan Lin Qian, came back to Yangzhou City? Now, Lin Qian is terrific. She is a student of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue and has a high social status. She is even stronger than some elders of her clan. Besides, some students of the Holy Courtyard followed her. That's really amazing." said some to one of the crowd in a low voice. They looked envious. Lin Qian was amazingly strong and was the pride of the Lin Clan. Thanks to her, the rise of the Lin Clan was destined.

"Hehe, so what? Don't you know that when Na Lan Feng came back, Na Lan Xiong organized a grand banquet and many noble people attended? Besides, the Lin Clan wasn't invited. Na Lan Xiong did it on purpose because his daughter Na Lan Feng has brought back a young man with her. His name is Du Gu Xiao, he is related to some of the Imperial Ministers, one person who controls several thousands upon thousands. I don't dare think about such people." said the person next to them. They were surprised. Everywhere in Xue Yue, an Imperial Minister was an extremely high status, they were extraordinary people. Na Lan Feng had the good fortune to get acquainted with someone, whose relatives were Imperial Ministers. It would enable the Na Lan Clan to rise splendidly.

"How terrific! The Na Lan Clan and the Lin Clan both want to rise, the two other clans cannot rival them any longer, all they can do is side with those in power."

"Absolutely, last year, during the annual competition of Yangzhou City, Na Lan Feng and Lin Qian were both extremely strong but after that, Bai Yuan Hao had appeared, he was even stronger than them. Oh I just remembered, there was Lin Feng as well, the one who was expelled from the Lin Clan, I don't what he's been doing recently."

"Lin Feng? What could he do? He doesn't have an influential background, he must be leading a vagrant life and roaming the streets. Maybe Lin Qian and Na Lan Feng have already gotten rid of him, and even if they haven't, Lin Qian and Na Lan Feng have become so strong that Lin Feng could never catch up with them." said someone while sighing and shaking their head.

At the annual competition of Yangzhou City, neither Lin Qian nor Na Lan Feng had been the most brilliant young talent, instead, it had been an extremely frivolous young man, Lin Feng.

These days, they hadn't received any news. Maybe he had died somewhere outside. Of course, nobody was really sure.

Everyone was talking about Lin Qian and Na Lan Feng, the two prodigies of Yangzhou City. Every year at the end of the year, people used to gossip about the strong cultivators each year, but that year was particularly exciting, there were these two extremely strong and powerful female cultivators and they were coming back stronger than ever.

Occasionally, on the road, Lin Feng's name could be heard as well. People were usually just mentioning his name without being too interested.

"Boom….boom…."

Noises were emerging from the distance and spread through the atmosphere. It sounded like galloping horses but it didn't seem plausible.

How could horses emit such a concentrated and synchronized sound while galloping? Only a magnificent army with veterans could emit such sounds.

The crowd in Yangzhou City was, however, still walking around in the city, leisurely and carefree. They didn't notice anything strange.

"Boom, boom boom boom…"

The sound was getting louder and louder. Many people were a bit surprised, trying to concentrate and listen to see if there was anything strange.

Besides, the sound was getting more and more intense. The ground was even starting to shake.

The crowd was stupefied. They looked in the direction of the Yangzhou City gate. In the distance, it seemed like there was a cloud of dust rising into the sky.

"What's going on?""

All the people were gradually noticing it. There was a massive cloud of dust. Besides, that sound was really the sound of galloping horses, how loud, it made their hearts tremble.

Some red silhouettes gradually appeared in their field of vision. They were all wearing red armor. The horses were red as well. They all emitted a strong Qi as they rushed through the air. They were galloping towards Yangzhou City at full speed and a cloud of dust was rising around them, looking like a hurricane.

"Boom boom boom……"

Even though the guards at the top of the city gate had a position which enabled them to see into the distance, what was moving towards them seemed like a boundless dust cloud. Their hearts were pounding like crazy.

An army. Surprisingly, it was an army. That was a terrifying and well trained army of veterans.

It was the first time that the city guards saw such a strong Qi. Such a huge army in a perfect formation was also something breathtaking. They had the impression that their hearts were beating in their throats.

The guards weren't the only ones, the population was also panicking while the army was moving nearer and nearer.

Surprisingly, they were armored-horses, it was a huge army of armored-horses. Most people had never seen such a huge army of armored-horses, it seemed like the ground would cave in under their hoofs.

The ground was violently shaking, everybody was absolutely dumbstruck. Why would such an army come to Yangzhou City?

"Quickly, quickly, close the gate!" shouted some guards on top of the gate in panic.

"Shut the hell up, we have to keep it open, if somebody closes the gate, I'll kill him!" shouted the leader of the guards. He was furious at those bastards who wanted to die. With such an army of armored-horses, if the gate was closed, a single attack would be enough to destroy it. Besides, if they made the army angry, such an army could massacre the entire city.

Amongst the guards on the city gate, none of them had the courage to fight. They were scared to death and their faces deathly pale. None of them had ever seen such a huge army in perfect formation.

That sort of army was only seen on a battlefield but not in a small town like Yangzhou City.

"Quickly, go and tell the head of the city, hurry up!" shouted one of the guards. Obviously, they didn't know what to do. All they could think about was telling Na Lan Xiong.

"Roger." said a few guards when they heard the order and then immediately left. After all, who wanted to stay there? If the army attacked, they would all die.

After that, when the vast army arrived near the Yangzhou City gate, they slowed down. They stopped before the gate of the city and didn't enter it.

Even though the army was just calmly waiting there, they were still releasing extremely strong Qi. It enveloped the gate of Yangzhou City as well as the crowd on and around it. Everyone within the city felt like they were being suffocated by the intense Qi.

How monstrous. The red armor, red horses, the image was shocking almost like a psychological attack. It was too much for the crowd.

They had never thought that someday, such an army would appear in Yangzhou City.

At that moment, amongst the army, a silhouette emerged and raised their head, looked at the people on top of the gate and said: "Listen, from now on, Yangzhou City is the fief of the Chi Xie Marquis. Everything in Yangzhou City now belongs to the officer of the Chi Xie army. Now, bring the head of the city to come and greet him."

The Chi Xie Marquis, the Chi Xie Officer, how powerful and majestic. Besides, he was making the head of the city come to greet them. They definitely had an extremely high social status.

So that's how it was, the Chi Xie Marquis was the owner of Yangzhou City, but nobody knew who this person was.

The crowd felt a bit relieved, since the fief of Yangzhou City belonged to the Chi Xie Marquis, the army wasn't going to attack the city. That huge army hadn't come with malicious intent.

"Go. Quickly bring the head of the city here!" shouted the leader of the guards, on the top of the gate, to one guard who wasn't moving. That person nodded and abruptly left in the direction of the government. He hadn't clearly heard the words of the Chi Xie soldiers though, he had only heard when he was told to bring the head of the city to greet them.

The government was a huge and vast place. There were tables everywhere. The head of the city, Na Lan Xiong had organized an annual banquet to which many wealthy and noble cultivators were participating. He hadn't invited the Lin Clan but the atmosphere was pleasant and lively

At that moment, many people were proposing toasts. It seemed that Na Lan Xiong was extremely proud because of his new son-in-law and he was so excited that he was unceasingly drinking.

"Master, master!"

At that moment, a worried voice spread in the air interrupting the crowd. Na Lan Xiong frowned and looked at the distance seeing a guard worriedly and hastily rushing over to him.

"A huge army is outside the city and we don't know who they are and what they are doing here." said the guard who was uninterruptedly sweating. The crowd was stupefied, an army had come to the city?

At that moment, another silhouette appeared and was running in their direction.

"Stop!" said Na Lan Xiong. "Are you here because of the army too? What is that army doing right now?"

"They want you to go and greet them." said the second guard who had arrived. Na Lan Xiong frowned and looked pensive.

"Tell their leader to come here, pay his respects and apologize for his offense."

At that moment, a cold and detached voice came from the host seat. It was Du Gu Xiao, he was furious and half-drunk already. Surprisingly, there were people who dared disturb him during the banquet and besides that, they also wanted Na Lan Xiong to come and greet them. Since Du Gu Xiao was there, they had to give him face, he was there so no matter who it was, they had to come pay respects and respectfully apologize for offending him.

Many people sighed, he was really worthy of his social status. He was extremely strong. They were all panicking and he, instead, ordered the troublemakers to come and apologize for their offense. Du Gu Xiao was wildly arrogant and presumptuous.

The guards looked petrified and nervous: "But….."

"There is no but! Tell him to get over here and apologize for his offense. Say that Du Gu Xiao gave the order, otherwise they will regret the consequences."

Du Gu Xiao stood up and released some cold Qi. His voice was ice-cold as well.

The guard was surprised and blankly staring at Du Gu Xiao. When he saw the coldness in his eyes, he immediately nodded and said: "Roger."

When they finished talking, the two guards abruptly left.

"Alright, everybody can continue, let's not let such events ruin our banquet." said Na Lan Xiong while raising his glass and smiling.

Everybody raised their glass and laughed heartily. Concerning Du Gu Xiao, he went back to his seat and looked calm. In such a small city, no matter how strong the person was, they had to obey him and apologize for their offense.

The Chi Xie troops were calmly waiting outside of the city.

At that moment, one guard came back from the government building. He climbed to the top of the gate and looked at the vast and boundless army. He couldn't help but shake from head to toe.

"Tell him to get over here and apologize for his offense…"

The guard was thinking about these words and they did not sit well in his chest. If he said these words out loud, wouldn't they just kill him?

"Open your mouth!" said an aggressive voice piercing the guard's ears. The guard was shaking. Immediately after, he closed his eyes and said: "The Head of the City said that you should go and apologize for your offense."

When he finished talking, the guard felt as if he had been relieved from a huge burden. But when the other guards heard what he said, they were astonished. They were all shaking from head to toe while thinking about the reaction of the army. How did that arrogant bastard dare to tell the Chi Xie troops such an audacious thing? When the Chi Xie troops heard the words, they started to release an incredible amount of Qi which created a hurricane which rushed towards the city gate. The entire crowd suddenly felt extremely cold.

How cold. That Qi was piercingly-cold, to the extent that it made everyone feel a shiver run down their spines.

Lin Feng, on his Dragon-Colt horse, moved forwards. Na Lan Xiong, was he really this brave?

He was wearing a mask, but under his mask he had an incredibly evil grin. Lin Feng said, in a cold tone: "We have been invited to go to the government building to apologize."

"Roger." shouted the troops in unison, which caused panic within the crowd. They brandished their spears and headed towards Yangzhou City .

Lin Feng's voice wasn't loud, but when the guards and the crowd heard that the troops were going to the government for an apology, they felt that this was not a good thing for the Na Lan Clan. The young man riding the Dragon-Colt horse was probably their officer. How majestic, he could say a few words and the entire army obeyed him.

"BOOM! BOOM!"

The ground started shaking once again. The Chi Xie troops were galloping in perfect harmony which sent terrifying booms through the atmosphere, sounding like thunder. The hearts of the people in the crowd were pounding.

The Chi Xie army transformed into a huge red dragon as it entered Yangzhou City. That huge red dragon seemed like it was flying through the city.

At that moment, the people were panicking. None of them dared to block the way of the Chi Xie troops, everybody was moving aside.

"What a strong and powerful army! Where are they from? Why have they come to Yangzhou City?"

The people of Yangzhou City were asking themselves many questions. When they saw that huge army with their own eyes, they had the feeling that their heart would explode in their chest. They were way too majestic. The Qi they were releasing was so strong that the people in the crowd had the feeling that their legs lost all power. Some of them were completely frozen, not daring to move.

In the government building, the atmosphere was still lively and joyful. People were still merry and drinking.

At that moment, the ground started shaking as if there was an earthquake. The people present at the banquet were suddenly stupefied and frowned.

Immediately after, the noise of the Chi Xie horses galloping became louder and was unceasingly spreading through the atmosphere.

"What's going on?"

"What the hell is this?"

Each and every single person who was present at the banquet stood up. Their facial expressions growing rigid, that noise was frightening. What was happening outside?

Na Lan Xiong frowned and gazed into the distance outside the building. He looked lost in thought and seemed to be contemplating the size of the army.

"Father, do not worry. Du Gu Xiao is here, the only reason why such a large army is coming here is because they want to apologize for their mistakes." said Na Lan Feng while slightly smiling. Du Gu Xiao, with his social status, was not scared of any army.

"Alright."

Na Lan Xiong slightly nodded and said: "Alright, everyone, let's drink more! They are coming here to apologize."

The guests listened to him but they couldn't ease the fear in their hearts. Were these people really coming to apologize? Why did the guests have the feeling that cold killing intent could be felt from the direction of the army. It seemed like it was coming from the Chi Xie army.

The rumbling sounds were getting louder and louder. When the guard in front of the building saw the army galloping towards him in the distance, he was astonished.

Red armor, red horses… They looked majestic and cruel. His heart started pounding in his chest.

Only a short moment later, an incredibly vast and boundless army arrived in front of the government building.

"BOOM!"

The sound of destruction spread through the atmosphere. A hurricane emerged and crushed the gate infront of the building.

"BOOM!"

Sounds of things being destroyed filled the atmosphere. Everything in front of the government building had been destroyed. The Chi Xie troops annihilated everything in their path and left no obstacle standing.

After having cleared the path to the entrance of the building. The troops entered the government building. Even though their army was incredibly large, they were still in perfect formation, there wasn't the least bit of chaos in their formation.

Concerning the guards, they were stunned by the sight of the sea of cavalry. They were standing motionless and let the cavalry pass by. They had the impression that the horses could crush them under their hoofs at any moment, but the army was in perfect formation and simply moved around the guards, not even a hair was touched. They were perfectly accurate with each of their movements. The guards were terrified to be standing in the path of the horses.

People in the government building were panicking and running around like headless chickens. They were scared silly.

The happy laughter and cheerful voices of the banquet had stopped, not because it was covered by the noise from the army, but because nobody felt like laughing anymore.

Everybody was standing up and looking at that vast and majestic sea of Chi Xie horses. They had never been this scared before. Their hearts were violently pounding.

A gigantic and powerful Chi Xie army like that could easily annihilate the city.

Only a glance at these troops on their Chi Xie horses was enough to scare even a hardened soldier.

That army was composed of the most elite troops. Every single soldier was a talented and disciplined cultivator… and there was an army of these powerful cultivators heading in their direction.

The troops suddenly adopted a spiral formation, encircling everybody who was present at the banquet. Not even a single drop of water could trickle through, making everybody unable to escape, even if they grew wings and attempted to fly out.

At that moment, there wasn't a single person who could escape.

This incredible army of elite troops could destroy anyone's courage.

Na La Xiong's heart was pounding. Such a huge and powerful army had come to apologize.

Du Gu Xiao was frowning, he put down his glass and slowly walked towards the person who was the closest to him.

He looked at the person in front of him, the person was wearing a red armor and a majestic helm. That person's facial expression was ice-cold. He then said: "What guts! You are the Chi Xie army, why have you come to Yangzhou City?"

The Chi Xie troops were elite troops in Xue Yue.

The guests were stupefied. This army was the elite Chi Xie army? That's why they were wearing red armor and had Chi Xie armored-horses.

Nobody paid attention to him. They looked at Du Gu Xiao's performance as if he was a fool. Du Gu Xiao was furious. Mere soldiers dared to make him lose face.

Especially now that he had bragged about how respected and influential he was.

"Who's your officer? Show yourself and apologise." Du Gu Xiao shouted. Even though he felt scared standing before such a powerful army, he belonged to the Du Gu Clan, he had the right to be arrogant. His family was incredibly powerful and it was hard to scare him when he had such a high status.

Everybody in the Na Lan Clan treated him like a deity. He was drunk and started to believe that he actually was a deity when inside such a small city. He was extremely arrogant. Besides, he was the one who dared to force the army here, how could he flinch at this moment?

Na Lan Feng stood next to Du Gu Xiao. She was looking coldly at the army. She felt proud of the man she loved. Nobody dared offend the members of the Du Gu Clan. Even the Chi Xie officers wouldn't dare, after all, she didn't just pick anyone to be with her.

"You are all extremely audacious, how dare you storm into the government like this?" Na Lan Feng said. She had the impression that her boyfriend was a mighty hero. She wasn't scared at all because a member of the Du Gu Clan was beside her.

"Show myself? Apologise? Audacious?" Lin Feng mockingly said. He made his horse slowly trot to the front of the army. He was wearing a bronze mask. His expression was ice-cold and evil. He didn't look at Du Gu Xiao and Na Lan Feng, he was looking directly at Na Lan Xiong.

"Na Lan Xiong, head of Yangzhou City, you wanted me to come here and apologize?"

Na Lan Xiong was astonished. How did Lin Feng know who he was within the crowd?

Lin Feng frowned when he heard Du Gu Xiao interrupt with a shout: "I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"

Lin Feng looked at Du Gu Xiao, another arrogant cultivator acting foolishly.

"What do you want?" said Lin Feng in a cold tone. The crowd was shocked.

Du Gu Xiao was astonished. His face lost all colour. The expression in his eyes turned ice-cold.

"My family name is Du Gu." said Du Gu Xiao in an arrogant tone.

Lin Feng was surprised, Du Gu?

That name sounded familiar. He had indeed met Du Gu Shang. Lin Feng looked at Du Gu Xiao again and a smile appeared under his bronze mask.

"So what?"

"The Du Gu Clan of the Imperial City." said Du Gu Xiao aggressively.

"His relatives are part of the Imperial Ministers." said Na Lan Feng arrogantly.

"Now, get down off your horse and apologize. Then I will pretend that this never happened." Du Gu Xiao said when he heard Na Lan Feng say the word "Imperial Ministers". His facial expression also revealing a proud expression.

"Imperial Ministers?" whispered Lin Feng while lowering his head and looking at Du Gu Xiao with a cold stare. He only noticed that, every second, Du Gu Xiao was growing even more arrogant. Indeed, Du Gu Shang and him were both cut from the same cloth.

"Cut one of his arms off." Lin Feng said in a cold tone, while waving his hand.

Everybody was dumbstruck.

"Cut one of his arms off."

Lin Feng's voice was calm, everybody was absolutely petrified.

Lin Feng wanted to cut one of Du Gu Xiao's arms off?

Du Gu Xiao was related to an Imperial Minister and he would dare to cut his arm off?

Du Gu Xiao's arrogant expression vanished. His heart was pounding. What did he just hear? After having declared his social status and demanding for Lin Feng to apologize, Lin Feng hadn't even paid attention to him and calmly ordered his soldiers to cut one of his arms off?

People in the crowd felt like their hearts skipped a beat.

"What did you just say?" asked Na Lan Feng whose heart was pounding. Immediately after, she looked at Lin Feng with an ice-cold glare. Du Gu Xiao was her boyfriend and she was extremely happy to be with him.

When the people of the banquet had learnt that a huge army had come to Yangzhou City, they had all panicked. Only Na Lan Feng and Du Gu Xiao had remained calm and were extremely arrogant. They were the ones who demanded the army come to apologize.

"Listen to me, you want to cut one of my arms off?" said Du Gu Xiao in an ice-cold tone, while releasing some cold Qi. At the same time, a soldier wearing a bronze mask rushed out from the army while releasing some extremely thick and brutal Qi.

"Slash!"

Lin Feng didn't feel like hearing any more words. Ba Dao jumped through the air. A magnificent and bright light filled the atmosphere. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared, the only thing left in the atmosphere was gushing blood.

The entire atmosphere turned completely silent. Everybody was staring at the blood. Their hearts were shaken.

They had really cut off his arm.

That soldier didn't hesitate at all, the Chi Xie officer gave an order and his arm had immediately been completely cut off.

Besides, that bright and dazzling light which flashed through the air remained in their minds, they couldn't think about anything else.

"Ahhhh….."

The entire atmosphere was invaded by a heavy silence. Du Gu Xiao broke that silence when he uttered a long cry of agony. He was covering his bleeding stump with his other hand, his face was deathly pale, there wasn't the slightest trace of colour in his face.

Besides, on his side, Na Lan Feng was blankly staring at the scene. Her beautiful cheeks turned white. Had Du Gu Xiao really lost his arm?

"It's over."

Na Lan Xiong's heart was violently pounding. The Du Gu Clan would never accept the fact that Du Gu Xiao's arm had been cut off and they would hold the Na Lan Clan responsible.

"How could this happen?" thought Na Lan Xiong while feeling enraged. He raised his head and looked at Lin Feng, the officer of the Chi Xie troops, who was wearing a bronze mask.

At that moment, Lin Feng looked at him as well. Behind his mask, his face was as calm and serene as before. He did not care about the events that had just transpired.

"You wanted me to come and apologize?" said Lin Feng sounding cold and detached. Na Lan Xiong's facial expression became rigid. He was realizing that Lin Feng might also cut off his arms. This officer was insane. Would it be that simple though?

But at that moment, Na Lan Xiong was surrounded by an army and couldn't escape at all. Lin Feng just had to give the order and the Na Lan Clan would be annihilated.

Na Lan Xiong had listened to Du Gu Xiao and told them to come apologize.

He had asked the officer of the Chi Xie army to come and apologize? Of course, all of this was happening because Na Lan Xiong had trusted Du Gu Xiao too much. After all, his family was tied to Imperial Ministers.

However, he wouldn't have thought that an officer would actually dare to cut off one of Du Gu Xiao's arms, especially when considering his social background.

"Who are you?" said Du Gu Xiao sounding evil while staring at Lin Feng. He wanted to slaughter Lin Feng.

"I am Du Gu Xiao of the Du Gu Clan, our clan has Imperial Ministers… and you dared to cut off my arm?"

"You are dead!" shouted Na Lan Feng while staring at Lin Feng. Her facial expression was hideous.

"Du Gu Clan, Imperial Ministers, I know all of that." said Lin Feng indifferently. He then looked at Du Gu Xiao and said: "What is your relation to Du Gu Shang?"

"Huh?" Du Gu Xiao was surprised, he was staring at Lin Feng: "My older brother. Since you know, how dare you cut off my arm?"

At that moment, his wound was extremely painful.

"Your older brother? You are all the same. You whole clan must be incredibly stupid." said Lin Feng sounding cold and detached. He then added: "Could it be that your brother hasn't told you? A few days ago, at the Celestial Academy, I slapped him into a stupor and then made him kneel down and kowtow to me."

Du Gu Xiao was violently shaking and staring at Lin Feng. He was dumbstruck.

Surprisingly… it was him.

He should have thought about this earlier. Chi Xie Officer, Yangzhou City must be his fief, why didn't he think about it sooner?

That was because in his head, the Chi Xie army should belong to Duan Ren City, but surprisingly they had come to Yangzhou City. He was now realizing that the Chi Xie army hadn't gone back to Duan Ren City, instead, they had come to the new fief of their officer, a small city that was not worth mentioning.

Lin Feng had set a whole city on fire, had crossed a huge distance to save the princess, he rushed over to the Imperial City to save Liu Cang Lan from being executed, Then he killed Duan Tian Lang's son in front of him. He was the Marquis of Yangzhou City.

Lin Feng had become a legend in the imperial city. Lin Feng was absolutely fearless. He didn't even fear Duan Tian Lang and killed his son in front of him, was there anything that Lin Feng didn't dare to do?"

Du Gu Xiao's face was deathly pale. Why did this happen to him? There were Imperial Ministers in his family.

The crowd also noticed that Lin Feng was silent. They were stupefied, he had slapped Du Gu Xiao's brother? He even made him kowtow?

Who was this person? He was truly insane. He wasn't even scared of facing the Du Gu Clan?

Na Lan Feng and Na Lan Xiong saw that Du Gu Xiao had also become silent. They were shaking in fear. Du Gu Xiao, surprisingly, was keeping his mouth closed from fear.

If he remained silent, it meant that Lin Feng was speaking the truth. His brother had really been slapped by Lin Feng and had kowtowed as an apology.

"Who is he?" whispered Na Lan Feng but Du Gu Xiao ignored her. He had a strange smile on his face.

"Good, good."

Du Gu Xiao was almost driven insane. He couldn't do anything against Lin Feng. He wasn't strong enough to rival him and his clan would not risk getting involved. His brother had even been humiliated by him… All he could do was remain silent.

His brother had been humiliated, he, himself, had just lost an arm, how could he not be driven into madness? That Chi Xie officer was really a terrifying existence.

"Du Gu Xiao demanded the army come and apologise, it seems like he knows the officer but can't afford to offend him." thought the people in the crowd. The Na Lan Clan was in trouble.

A moment before, Du Gu Xiao was insufferably arrogant and aggressive, but then his arm was cut off. He didn't even dare to make another sound. The Na Lan Clan had no escape.

Apologize?

Lin Feng was standing before them, who could stop him?

Everybody wanted to say that it had nothing to do with the Na Lan Clan so that they would be able to avoid a catastrophe.

"Na Lan Xiong, I am the Chi Xie Marquis and Yangzhou City is my fief. I arrived in Yangzhou City and instead of a greeting, you demand an apology, how audacious." said Lin Feng in an extremely cold tone, making everybody shiver.

"What should be your punishment?" said Lin Feng. Na Lan Xiong's heart was beating extremely violently. He was the Marquis of Yangzhou City. He had surprisingly come to receive his fief and Na Lan Xiong refused to greet him and demanded an apology. That was an offense.

Na Lan Xiong remained silent. He only saw Lin Feng turn to the other members of his clan: "What do you think? How should he be punished?"

The crowd was shaking, Lin Feng was terrifying.

"The last person to speak, will die." said Lin Feng, then suddenly everyone burst into uproar: "Na Lan Xiong is a criminal! He should die!"

When Na Lan Xiong heard that, he evilly stared at the person. The person was flattering him a short moment before and at that moment he was saying that he should die. What a venomous snake!

"Indeed, Na Lan Xiong should die! He definitely has to die!"

"Yes, you're right, kill him!"

Everybody who was present was replying as quickly as possible scared to be the last person. Lin Feng was smiling under his mask. Finally, he looked at Na Lan Xiong and said: "Did you hear that? Everybody is saying that you should die."

When Na Lan Xiong saw that Lin Feng might kill him, and when he saw Lin Feng's calm eyes, he had the feeling that he knew him from somewhere.

"I know you. Who are you?" said Na Lan Xiong to Lin Feng. He realized that Lin Feng may have come specifically for him.

"Do you want to know who I am?" said Lin Feng calmly.

"I do." said Na Lan Xiong while nodding. He, of course wanted to know.

"Alright, I see."

Lin Feng smiled, he put his hands on his bronze mask and slowly took it off. His face appeared, everybody, including Na Lan Xiong could see him.

At that moment, the atmosphere became entirely silent.
