Chapter 75: The Sect Abandoned Me
"Bold! Lu Yuan, you are too presumptuous. Lin Feng entering the inner sect to receive his inner sect token is a sect rule, and you dare to defy it?" Xue Yue said coldly, his face icy.
"Elder Xue."
Lin Feng suddenly called out, causing Xue Yue's words to pause as he looked at Lin Feng.
"Today, I came to receive my inner sect token. Elder Lu refused and shouted at me to get lost. Elder Xue witnessed this with your own eyes, correct?" Lin Feng asked.
"Yes." Xue Yue nodded, not understanding Lin Feng's intent.
"Then that is enough." Lin Feng sneered coldly. "It is not that I, Lin Feng, am unwilling to enter the inner sect, but rather that the sect has abandoned me."
With that, Lin Feng turned abruptly, lifted his foot, and strode away with Han Man in a carefree manner, leaving everyone stunned, truly unable to grasp what Lin Feng meant by those words.
"Hmph, don't think that just because Xue Yue protected you this time, you can escape death. Next time I see you, I will kill you for sure." Wenren Yan knew that with Xue Yue present, he had no chance to kill Lin Feng, but as long as Lin Feng was in Cloud Sea Sect, he was doomed.
"I'll be waiting."
Lin Feng's voice drifted back as his figure gradually disappeared.
Xue Yue's brows were tightly furrowed. He shot a cold glare at Lu Yuan and said angrily, "Lu Yuan, you will regret this. Mark my words."
With that, Xue Yue flicked his sleeves and left. How laughable was Lu Yuan, thinking that currying favor with Wenren Yan would be useful? He had no idea of Lin Feng's standing in the heart of Old Man Bei. Otherwise, he would have thought twice about today's actions.
"I, Lu Yuan, never regret anything I do." Lu Yuan said disdainfully, then looked at Wenren Yan. "It's a pity he got away."
"It doesn't matter. He will die sooner or later." Wenren Yan's viper-like eyes were fixed on the distance. After Lin Feng left, Liu Fei actually followed him. To Wenren Yan, who had just declared Liu Fei as his woman, this was a supreme humiliation.
...
"Lin Feng."
Liu Fei caught up to Lin Feng and called out.
"Haha, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll take Po Jun and leave first."
Han Man saw Liu Fei approaching and said with a hearty laugh. He and Po Jun quickly walked away, showing no sign of his injuries.
Lin Feng rolled his eyes. This guy... how had he suddenly gotten so much smarter?
"Lin Feng, you must be careful from now on. Stay away from Wenren Yan. That man is very dangerous." Liu Fei warned, knowing that Wenren Yan had already set his mind on killing Lin Feng.
"Shouldn't you hate me? Why are you suddenly concerned about me?" Lin Feng said with a smile, as if he hadn't heard Liu Fei's words.
Liu Fei was speechless. This guy still had the nerve to joke around. She knew all too well how terrifying Wenren Yan was.
"I just don't want someone who's about to join the Snow Moon Holy Academy to die." Liu Fei glared at Lin Feng.
"Is that so? It seems I never agreed to join the Snow Moon Holy Academy." Lin Feng continued. "Also, earlier you said I was your man?"
"I was just saying that casually." Liu Fei stared hard at Lin Feng. This guy actually dared to bring that up. She had only said it to shake off Wenren Yan's pestering, to make him give up.
"Can you just say something like that casually?" Lin Feng rolled his eyes and reached his hand toward Liu Fei.
"What are you doing?"
Liu Fei sidestepped slightly, looking at Lin Feng warily. This guy...
"Since you're my woman, I naturally have to exercise some of my rights as a man." The smile in Lin Feng's eyes was especially suggestive as he leaned toward Liu Fei.
"You bastard, dream on."
Liu Fei's forehead was covered in black lines. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she stormed off angrily.
This bastard... what did he mean by 'exercise his rights as a man'? And he still claimed he wasn't a lecher?
Watching Liu Fei's graceful retreating figure, a faint smile lingered at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. He found that his bad impression of Liu Fei was gradually fading, even disappearing entirely. This woman was actually quite cute... and more importantly, very sexy and beautiful.
"How did I never notice this before?"
Lin Feng chuckled softly. Back then, when he first arrived here and discovered the coldness of this world, he pursued powerful strength with unwavering determination, his mind focused and undistracted.
Now, he was gradually getting used to this world, and his personality was slowly opening up. Sometimes he was unrestrained, sometimes flamboyant, doing as he pleased, not letting himself live too tiredly.
Of course, Lin Feng's heart, which pursued martial arts and strength, remained as firm as a rock. In this life, he would surely stand proudly with his sword, soaring through the clouds. In this lifetime, he would trample the Nine Heavens and live freely and unrestrained.
...
A warm, faint light shone upon the earth under a clear, cloudless sky.
On this day, Cloud Sea Sect felt especially desolate. Many places were left with only sparse crowds.
But there was one place that stood in stark contrast to this lonely atmosphere—the Wind and Cloud Gorge.
Today, the Wind and Cloud Gorge was densely packed. Centered around the ten Life and Death Platforms, crowds of people filled every space.
Sect leaders, inner sect elders, and outer sect elders were not above the gorge today. Instead, they had constructed a towering viewing platform within the Wind and Cloud Gorge itself. From there, everything on the Life and Death Platforms could be seen at a single glance.
This viewing platform was entirely built from giant stones, arranged in a staggered yet orderly fashion, as if crafted by divine hands. Lin Feng marveled inwardly that powerful strength could bring about so many miracles. This platform was even more majestic and spacious than the stands around a soccer field from his previous life, yet the disciples of Cloud Sea Sect had piled it up in just a few days, all for one reason—to make everyone understand just how much importance the sect placed on this competition.
The second round of the sect competition: the outer sect disciple ranking battle, taking the top one hundred; the inner sect disciple ranking battle, taking the top eighty-one; and the core disciple ranking battle, taking the top thirty-six.
However, everyone knew that the outer sect ranking battle was merely a formality. After the most outstanding outer sect disciples entered the inner sect, the outer sect ranking battle had already lost much of its appeal. Only the inner sect and core disciple ranking battles were what everyone truly looked forward to.
In each year's ranking battles, one could see the strength of the disciples and, from that, gauge the strength of the sect itself. A sect's disciples were its future.
At this moment, the sect leader, Nan Gong Ling, who was seated in the main seat of the viewing platform, stood up. Instantly, the noisy gorge fell silent.
Nan Gong Ling smiled faintly and was about to speak, but at that moment, his gaze froze slightly, and his brows furrowed.
His eyes looked into the distance. The clouds and mists were churning, and in the distance, a powerful current of air was violently fluctuating. The sea of clouds surged forward like rolling waves.
"Brother Nan Gong, Chu of Hao Yue Sect pays a visit with my companions."
Rolling waves of sound spread across the sky and earth, echoing through the gorge. The clear voice continuously drilled into the ears of the crowd, piercing straight into their hearts.
"So powerful."
The crowd's hearts trembled violently. They looked up and saw a group of people in the distance walking on the clouds, arriving with effortless grace.
At the same time, a chill of ice and cold covered the heavens and earth. The clear sky actually condensed white mist, and then frost and cold descended. Snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
"Han Xuetian of the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa comes to pay a visit."
A deep voice came from within the ice and snow, accompanied by the falling snowflakes, clearly reaching the crowd. Even the voice seemed to carry a chill.
Han Xuetian, the master of the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa.
"Duan Tianlang and Teng Wushan pay a visit."
Two more voices came. A wild hurricane swept through, and the snowflakes danced wildly. The heavens and earth roared, and the crowd felt an icy coldness spreading through their entire bodies.
Even more terrifying was that within this biting, fierce wind, there was also a domineering sword energy, incredibly sharp.
In the distance, a massive black creature flapped its wings, forming strong whirlpools around it.
This black behemoth was dozens of meters long and three to four meters wide. A row of figures stood on it, their long robes fluttering in the wind.
A demon beast, Kun Mang—capable of flying through the sky and diving into water. Its black scales resembled those of a fish or a python. Even more bizarrely, it had a pair of enormous black wings on its body. When they flapped, the heavens and earth changed color.
"What a terrifying demon beast."
The crowd's hearts trembled wildly as they stared blankly at the flying Kun Mang, which swallowed clouds and breathed mist, its aura swallowing mountains and rivers.
Even more shocking was that beside the Kun Mang, an incomparably vast sword energy seemed to pierce the sky. There, a giant sword whistled forward.
And on this giant sword, there was also a row of figures, riding the sword through the air, laughing proudly in the sky.
