Chapter 1258: Dividing the Imperial Palace
Snow Moon, Imperial Palace. After Lin Feng returned, he had everyone enter the sacred mark formation area to avoid unnecessary casualties. After all, the people in the palace were far too fragile compared to Venerable warriors. A single strike could kill an entire group. With such a vast palace, Lin Feng couldn't possibly protect everyone by himself.
At the same time, the crowd from Yangzhou City rushed toward the palace. With such a major event unfolding, naturally everyone wanted to see how it would end. Would their Snow Moon imperial family be erased from existence?
The three forces all possessed powerful Venerable warriors. Although the people of Yangzhou City had long accepted the reality that Snow Moon now had many experts, the thought of Venerable warriors possibly attacking the imperial family still made their hearts tremble with fear. Especially since the sovereign, Lin Feng, had also returned.
Within the formation area, Lin Hai gazed into the distance, a hint of worry in his eyes. He already knew the course of events.
"Xiao Feng, you were too impulsive. At least you should have given us some mental preparation beforehand!" Lin Hai said with considerable concern.
Lin Feng smiled awkwardly and said nothing. A sword seal appeared in his hand. Given the speed of the Sword Pavilion, whether those who came before him across regions or those who came after him through the Heavenly Void Ancient Formation, they should have already arrived in Snow Moon. Now was the time to use the Sword Pavilion.
Dealing with these three forces was simple, but now that the Snow Moon Kingdom was in turmoil, after this matter was resolved, he would definitely have to go to the Cloud Sea Mountain Range. How could the palace lack powerful guardians? He planned to have some experts from the Sword Pavilion stationed at the Snow Moon Palace until peace was restored.
"Pfft!" The sword seal shattered. A faint smile appeared on Lin Feng's lips. Thinking of the three forces that wanted to seize the palace and drive away his family, a sharp, cold gleam flashed in his eyes. Seeking death!
"Even if it was impulsive, so be it. At worst, we'll just stay in this formation area from now on. I don't believe they can stay in Yangzhou City forever." Yue Menghe said softly. Lin Hai could only nod. "I didn't expect one of the forces to be stationed at the Lin Clan. I hope this matter has nothing to do with them."
Although the Lin Clan had wronged Lin Hai, he still carried their blood in his veins. Moreover, his father had originally wanted him to inherit the Lin Clan.
"Get out here!"
"Get out here, get out here..." A thunderous roar echoed wildly through the palace, like a bolt from the blue, shaking the entire palace.
The people in the palace trembled with fear, their faces slightly pale. They had arrived. This was the might of a Venerable. With a single shout, the entire palace shook.
Roaring sounds rolled through the air. Soon, in the distant void, a line of figures appeared, nearly a hundred in number. Clearly, the enemy had already prepared to move into the palace and had all come at once.
"They came fast!" Lin Hai muttered.
In front of the sacred mark formation protecting the palace was an open area. Lin Hai and the others stood at the edge of the formation. Between the two sides, there was nothing. They could clearly see each other's figures. The first force to arrive was the one stationed at the Lin Clan. The young man Lin Feng had crippled was being supported by someone, his eyes fixed coldly on Lin Feng, filled with vicious killing intent.
"Father, it's him. Help me tear him into pieces!" The young man's voice was venomous. Lin Feng had made him a cripple.
At this moment, Lin Hai had already ordered the sacred mark formation to be activated. A terrifying pressure emanated from it. Even a Venerable would not be able to step into this formation.
"Do you think hiding in the formation will save you?" The young man's father had a cold gleam in his eyes. "I wanted you to roll out on your own, but since you insist on seeking death, I'll make your life worse than death!"
Lin Hai's brows were tightly furrowed. A Venerable—who knew what divine abilities they possessed? Even within this single force, there were probably many Venerable warriors. He didn't know what methods they would use against them.
"Father, I want all the women!" The young man pointed at the beauties behind Lin Feng, his eyes icy cold.
"Fine, they're all yours!" The Venerable said coldly.
"Are you done with your nonsense?" Lin Feng said indifferently upon hearing this, causing the experts' expressions to stiffen.
"If you're going to act, hurry up!" Lin Feng added, making those people's faces turn ugly. Then the young man's father turned to the people behind him and said, "Let's set up flames around the formation. Roast them alive inside."
"Fine. A bunch of ants who don't know their place!" Another person said coldly. It was hard to imagine that in such a small country, someone would dare to oppose them. Courting death.
"And they call this an imperial palace, with a sovereign and an emperor. A bunch of ignorant fools."
Those people kept mocking, causing many in the formation to show anger. But what could they do against powerful Venerable warriors?
Roaring sounds rolled through the air. In the distance, two more groups of figures descended. In just a moment, they arrived above the palace, each exuding surging, powerful auras. The occasional release of pressure made the onlookers tremble, their eyes filled with shock. These foreign experts were terrifying.
"Remember, don't destroy the buildings. Although they're the dwellings of ants, the architecture has quite a style. From now on, this will be ours." The leader of one force said darkly, already treating the palace as their own possession.
"We gave you time, yet you still didn't leave. A bunch of ants with no self-awareness!" The last force's leader said coldly, then looked at the other two forces and asked, "Tell me, how should we divide this so-called 'imperial palace'?"
"This palace is big enough for all three of our forces to coexist. How about we split it into three sections, one for each of us?" Another force's leader suggested. All three forces had their own foundations. If they fought, casualties would be inevitable.
"Fine. I have no objections. Let's divide it by area into three sections. We'll break the formation together, and whoever kills the most people gets to choose first. How about that?" The young man's father suggested, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Break the formation together!" The people inside the sacred mark formation looked grim. With so many experts, would the formation be broken? Would they become prey for slaughter?
The people of Yangzhou City outside the palace also had stiff expressions. Was the palace about to fall?
"Fine. We gave these ants a chance. Let's just kill them all together."
"No objections."
The other two forces agreed. They were experts from the Eight Wastelands Realm. In such a small country, they could do whatever they wanted. The strongest forces of the Eight Wastelands Realm were all gathered in that mountain range. In this mere city, they were kings. Killing people was nothing. And these were just a bunch of disobedient ants. The strongest among them was only a young man at the Eighth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. Once they broke the formation, these would be lambs for the slaughter.
At this moment, Lin Qian arrived with the Lin Clan members. Seeing the imperial family on the verge of destruction, their expressions were complicated, each with their own thoughts.
"I told you you'd regret it, but you insisted on seeking death." Lin Qian said coldly. At this moment, she naturally had to side with the family of the crippled young man. Otherwise, if they were blamed, the Lin Clan would be finished.
Lin Feng's gaze turned to Lin Qian, a faint smile on his lips. He said, "You think too much!"
"Lin Feng, he can still stay calm and even smile. Is he that confident in the formation?" Many people outside the palace stood on high ground, watching everything. Seeing Lin Feng's calm smile, they were very puzzled and confused.
"Sovereign Lin Feng created a miracle last time he returned, sweeping away foreign forces and pacifying Snow Moon. But this time, creating another miracle seems impossible. Three terrifying forces, legendary Venerable warriors—too strong, impossible to resist!"
Many people were worried for Lin Feng. Sovereign Lin Feng had too many stories in Snow Moon and Yangzhou City. He was a symbol.
"Stubborn and foolish, walking right into death!" Lin Qian said coldly.
But Lin Feng didn't look at her. His gaze was fixed on the distance, a faint smile on his lips. The Sword Pavilion people would be here soon, wouldn't they?
Turning his gaze, Lin Feng looked at the three forces. He lifted his foot and stepped out of the formation.
"Xiao Feng!" Lin Hai's expression tightened as he called out.
"Xiao Feng, what are you doing?" Yue Menghe's expression also stiffened as she called out. Lin Feng was actually stepping out of the formation.
"Feng!" Voices called out one after another. Xinye and the others were extremely worried.
But Lin Feng turned back, looked at them, and revealed a brilliant smile. "Don't worry. Leave everything to me!"
This smile carried a hint of confidence, making his family members pause, not knowing what to say. By then, Lin Feng had already stepped out of the formation.
"He's out!" The crowd's eyes focused. What was Lin Feng doing? He actually walked out of the sacred mark formation that could protect him!
"He's crazy!"
The people of Yangzhou City didn't understand. What was Sovereign Lin Feng doing?
"Drip, drip, drip..." The sound of footsteps was clear. Lin Qian and the Lin Clan members were also stunned. Was Lin Feng trying to die sooner?
"Hmm?" The people of the three forces all showed amused expressions. Some people really couldn't wait to die.
"Father!" The young man Lin Feng had crippled looked at his father with eager anticipation.
"Who will go? Cut off his hands first. Don't kill him. Capture him!" The young man's father said coldly. Since someone wanted to die, they would oblige.
Lin Feng finally stopped walking. He slightly raised his head, looked at the three forces, and said calmly, "I've remembered everything you said just now. You'd better remember this too!"
"Hmm?" The crowd found Lin Feng's words even more amusing. A young man at the Eighth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm had appeared in a small country—rare, but still an ant.
"What a naive fellow!" Someone muttered, taking Lin Feng's confidence for ignorance.
"Hehe!" A Venerable warrior stepped forward, looking down at Lin Feng from above, a cold gleam in his eyes. "Little fellow, let me show you what it means to be a frog at the bottom of a well!"
As his words fell, wildly raging flames gathered in his palm. The very air became scorching and turbulent. His body moved, pouncing down from the void toward Lin Feng. In his hand, an enormous flaming palm formed, pressing down from the heavens, a sight that shook the soul.
"A Venerable! So this is a legendary Venerable! One palm strike can kill countless people!" The distant crowd watched the Venerable in action, their hearts trembling with fear. That flaming giant palm could engulf dozens of people, destroying heaven and earth. With one strike, how many Heavenly Martial warriors would be crushed to death!
Seeing Lin Feng, who looked so small below, the crowd's hearts tightened. A tremor ran through them!
