Chapter 1261: Descending Upon the Cloud Sea Mountain Range
"Just like that, they left!" The waves of shock in the crowd had yet to settle. Three factions, and with a single sentence from Lin Feng, one faction was utterly annihilated. With another sentence, the remaining two factions were reduced to servants.
"Father!" Lin Feng turned back and called out to Lin Hai. Immediately, Lin Hai walked over, his face full of smiles. To have a son like this, what more could a father ask for?
Lin Feng took Lin Hai's hand and stepped forward. His gaze swept over the members of the two factions, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Instantly, their hearts trembled, as if they still hadn't accepted the reality of becoming servants.
"From today onward, you will obey all of my father's arrangements. Do you understand?" Lin Feng's cold gaze swept over the crowd, causing their expressions to stiffen and their lips to tremble. But at that moment, a terrifying killing intent suddenly descended, making their bodies jolt violently. They nodded frantically in fear: "We understand!"
"Father, if anyone disobeys your orders, just find these two and kill them!" Lin Feng said to Lin Hai, causing the hearts of those people to tremble once more. They sighed in sorrow. They had come to seize someone else's imperial palace, and now they had become servants of others. These venerable martial artists, once looked down upon as ants, were now being enslaved. How tragic!
"I know!" Lin Feng replied with a smile. He never imagined that one day he could enslave venerable martial artists whom he once looked up to. Everything was simply unbelievable.
"If anyone has questions about cultivation that need guidance in the future, you can ask them. Any question you don't understand." Lin Feng reminded him. Lin Hai smiled. That's right, these venerable martial artists shouldn't be wasted; they had to be put to good use.
After saying this, Lin Feng's gaze turned to Lin Qian and the members of the Lin Clan. Lin Qian's heart jolted violently, her expression incredibly complex. Just like last time, Lin Feng had returned with overwhelming power. With a single strike, he killed a venerable martial artist. Under his command were thirty-six powerful experts, all extremely formidable.
The gap between her and Lin Feng was still as vast as a chasm, impossible to bridge.
"Get lost!" Just as Lin Qian was thinking about how Lin Feng would deal with her, he only said one word: "Get lost!"
With that, Lin Feng turned around without even glancing at Lin Qian again.
Lin Qian should have been grateful that the matter of seizing the imperial palace had nothing to do with the Lin Clan. But at this moment, she felt no gratitude at all. Seeing the indifference in Lin Feng's eyes, the calm disregard that went straight to the bone, she realized how insignificant she was. She had always trained with the goal of catching up to Lin Feng, only to find that the chasm between them could never be bridged. They were destined to be from different worlds.
Turning around with a look of dejection, all traces of her earlier elegance gone, Lin Qian left the place. The members of the Lin Clan glanced at the proud young man and also departed in sorrow. Some mistakes, no matter how much regret one feels, can never be undone. They had watched Lin Feng rise again and again, defying heaven, yet they were left with nothing but scars.
The people of Yangzhou City also dispersed in shock, unable to calm down for a long time. At the same time, a storm spread rapidly through Yangzhou City. The King of Snow Moon, Lin Feng, had returned in glory. With one sword strike, he cleaved a venerable martial artist, becoming the master of a supreme power. He annihilated one of the three factions that coveted the imperial palace and turned the other two into servants. Many who heard the news couldn't believe it at first. How long had it been? Lin Feng had returned again, now capable of destroying the legendary venerable martial artists?
The unyielding youth who had once walked out of this small city, his legend seemed to be continuing!
Lin Feng handed over the experts of the two factions and the two venerable martial artists to his father, Lin Hai, to arrange. He himself enjoyed the leisure, cherishing the rare days of relaxation. He knew very well that once he stepped out of Yangzhou City after resolving the matters in the imperial palace, he would face bloody battles and a ruthless journey of power.
Of course, Lin Feng did not fear the journey of martial arts. He enjoyed the warmth of being with his family in the imperial palace, just as he enjoyed the burning passion of battle. Every time he fought, the blood in his bones would boil and ignite. He was just an ordinary person. Like many others, he felt pride and enjoyed the thrill of looking down on all living beings, the power of controlling everything. When looked down upon, he was filled with an endless drive to rise. When standing at the peak, looking down at heaven and earth, he was filled with boundless ambition.
"Big brother, you're so powerful!" As Lin Feng left, the girls immediately surrounded him. Especially the mischievous Xiao Ya, who giggled and hugged Lin Feng's arm. Seeing how strong Lin Feng had become, her smile was especially sweet.
"Look who my little sister is!" Lin Feng shrugged and said with a smile, causing the Crimson Blood soldiers watching his retreating figure to be momentarily stunned. They exchanged glances, then also smiled. This quiet and gentle young man, in battle, was proud and domineering, cutting down a venerable martial artist with one sword strike. This was their general, their king.
"It's a pity that General Liu will never see this scene."
Seeing Lin Feng holding Liu Fei's hand, the eyes of these iron-blooded soldiers also showed a hint of warm blessing. General Liu had lived a lonely life, never getting to enjoy these beautiful times. If he could see his daughter holding hands with his most trusted student, living together in harmony, he would surely be immensely gratified.
"Let's go. To the general's tomb. Let's say a few words to the general and drink a few bowls of wine!" A voice rang out, and the others nodded in agreement. They then headed toward the general's tomb in the imperial palace. The others also dispersed.
In the following days, Lin Feng played chess with his father, Lin Hai, chatted with his mother, and accompanied her to the Yue Clan to visit his grandfather, Yue Qingshan. Yue Qingshan was naturally very happy. He had already heard of the commotion Lin Feng had caused. He had never dreamed that the grandson he once refused to acknowledge could now kill a venerable martial artist in a single strike, shocking everyone.
Lin Feng gave his grandfather some Life Tears brewed from the essence of life, making Yue Qingshan look several years younger. His slightly aged body seemed to be filled with boundless energy. It was the essence of life force, containing powerful vitality. Yue Qingshan was not young, and his cultivation was only at the Mysterious Martial Realm. His body was gradually aging, so the effect of the Life Tears was very noticeable.
After that, Lin Feng spent time with Xinye, Liu Fei, and the other girls, completely relaxing for a few days. Then, one day, Lin Feng finally got up and stepped out of the imperial palace.
Behind Lin Feng, many people came to see him off: his parents, Xinye, and the others.
Seeing Xinye's aggrieved little face, Lin Feng gently stroked it, then pinched Xiao Ya's nose, saying with a smile: "I'm only going to the Cloud Sea Mountain Range. With my speed now, it only takes half an hour to get from here to the Cloud Sea Mountain Range. I can come back anytime. What are you all doing?"
Despite his words, everyone still felt reluctant, as if Lin Feng would leave for several years again, just like last time.
"I'm off!" Lin Feng took one last look at everyone, his heart full of warmth. Then, with a thought, the greatsword appeared. He stepped onto it, and with a whoosh, he shot away. Lin Feng waved his hand behind him, unable to bear seeing their sad expressions, and left with ease.
Standing on the greatsword, he soon rushed into the rolling clouds and let out a sigh. Although the distance was short, if he really went to the Cloud Sea Mountain Range, he couldn't just come back casually. The experts of the Eight Wastelands Realm were gathering there. Something big was probably about to happen. He hoped it wouldn't affect Snow Moon.
As Lin Feng had said, in the past, riding a fine horse from Yangzhou City to the Cloud Sea Mountain Range took ten days. But now, with the terrifying speed of the greatsword, he arrived at the former Cloud Sea Mountain Range in just over half an hour. However, the moment he saw the Cloud Sea Mountain Range, he was stunned. He sighed inwardly. This was no longer a mountain range. Only a bare peak remained.
The vast Cloud Sea Mountain Range, with its continuous peaks (lianmian), now only had the main peak of Cloud Sea still standing. The rest of the mountain range had been leveled to the ground, leaving only a few scattered small peaks.
Endless crowds were stationed on the small peaks and grasslands around the main peak, casually opening up some cave dwellings there.
The areas around the former Cloud Sea Mountain Range were all filled with people, stretching all the way to the distant Black Wind Ridge, where experts of the Eight Wastelands Realm could be seen.
"What exactly is in the Cloud Sea Mountain Range?" Lin Feng sighed inwardly as his body continued forward. But at that moment, figures shot up from the ground, blocking his path, and shouted coldly: "This area is sealed off. No one is allowed to step inside!"
"Sealed off?" Lin Feng's eyes turned cold. "Which faction are you from?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't. This is not a place for Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators. Get lost!" one of them shouted coldly. The areas around the Cloud Sea Mountain Range were only occupied by powerful factions.
Lin Feng's eyes turned icy. Suddenly, a terrifying sword aura burst forth. He spat out a cold word: "Kill!"
As the word fell, a dazzling sword shot out, thunder rolling, space trembling.
"You're Lin Feng!" The man recognized the Celestial Fate Sword as it was drawn. His face turned ugly as he fiercely struck out with a palm. But under the sword, the palm print was torn apart, and the Celestial Fate Sword continued forward.
"Spare him!" The others rushed forward, striking at the Celestial Fate Sword simultaneously. The void exploded, and terrifying energy raged wildly. Only then did they manage to block the terrifying power of the Celestial Fate Sword.
"Swish, swish..." The Celestial Fate Sword hovered in the void, roaring. Lin Feng's eyes were cold as he stared at the figures before him.
"Since it's Lord Lin Feng, he is naturally not within the sealed area. Please enter!" The man's attitude changed instantly, and he made way.
"Return!" Lin Feng uttered a single word. The Celestial Fate Sword returned to its sheath. Then, the greatsword shot forward, passing by those people. Given everything he had done at the Wen Clan, anyone who heard the name Lin Feng would step aside. Since they knew it was Lin Feng, those people naturally dared not block him!
