# Chapter 1306: Ambushed in the Eight Wastelands
"Uncle, where is Youyou now?" Lin Feng's heart was quite unsettled. He slowly turned his gaze and looked at Tang's father, asking. Since Youyou was still alive, why hadn't she come to find him.
"I don't know. Youyou only asked me to bring you to see this Acacia Tree. After staying for a few days, she left the Tang family. As her father, I don't even know when I'll be able to see her again!" Tang's father frowned, sighing inwardly.
"Something must have happened, right?" A sharp glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes as he looked at Tang's father. Since Youyou was alive, she hadn't gone to Heavenly Terrace to find him. After returning home, she had vanished without a trace. Youyou must have encountered something.
"Hmph, why don't you ask yourself? Did you take good care of Youyou? She went out to explore with you, and she had feelings for you. Why didn't you keep her by your side!" Tang's father snorted coldly, causing Lin Feng's expression to stiffen. Regarding what happened in the Wasteland Sea back then, all he could do was send Youyou and the others onto the Nine Dragons Island warship while he himself dove into the Wasteland Sea and escaped.
However, Lin Feng didn't make any excuses. He admitted, "Uncle, it's my fault. But I hope you can tell me about Youyou's situation!"
"I've already told you. I want to know how Youyou is right now too!" Tang's father sighed.
"Lin Feng, my father isn't lying to you. Sister left secretly. She said she would come back to visit when she had the chance." Tang Yiyi spoke up at this moment, causing Lin Feng's expression to freeze. It seemed Tang's father really didn't know. But now he was wondering in his heart what had happened to Youyou. After she left the Wasteland Sea Small World, where had she gone, and what encounters had she had?
Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded helplessly. "Uncle, if Youyou comes back again, please let her know to come find me at Heavenly Terrace in the Eight Wastelands!"
"Eight Wastelands!" Tang Rui's eyes revealed a strange gleam. He then stepped forward and said to Lin Feng, "Um... brother-in-law, can you take me to explore the Eight Wastelands too?"
"Uh..." Lin Feng was stunned. Brother-in-law?
"Tang Rui!" Tang Yiyi was speechless.
"You worthless brat!" Tang's father glared fiercely at Tang Rui, but Tang Rui chuckled nervously and said, "Dad, didn't sister herself say she likes him? She even planted the Acacia Tree. So doesn't that make him my brother-in-law?"
Hearing Tang Rui's words, Tang's father's beard bristled with anger. This kid was too shameless...
"Dad, look, brother-in-law is much stronger than you at such a young age. How about I go out and explore with brother-in-law!" Tang Rui hid behind Lin Feng and said weakly, making even Lin Feng laugh. This little guy had character, actually wanting to go out and explore.
"Get out here!" Tang's father shouted sternly.
Tang Rui reluctantly came out and said, "Sister said that a man's ambition lies in the world. What's the point of staying cooped up in this Dragon Mountain Empire?"
"Hmph, Youyou also told your second sister to find a husband and marry in Dragon Mountain Empire!"
"That's because second sister is a woman. A man with ambition in the world faces many storms. To soar above the world is no easy task, so naturally, romantic attachments must be few. Therefore, even heroes may have feelings, yet remain indifferent. That's why sister told second sister to marry in Dragon Mountain Empire, not even seeking someone with great ambition. But I'm different from second sister. I'm a man!" Tang Rui argued.
However, upon hearing Tang Rui's words, Lin Feng revealed a bitter smile. Wasn't this implying something? Heroes may have feelings, yet remain indifferent. But did the ones he loved truly seek worldly glory? They only wished to be together in longing, just like Xinye and Liu Fei. No matter how glorious he was outside, they only remained in Snow Moon.
To walk the path of martial arts, one was destined to lose many things. There were many terrifyingly powerful experts who didn't even have descendants, pursuing only martial arts.
"With your meager strength, you want to go out and explore? Is that enough? Anyone could cut you down. If you want to go out, first defeat your father!" Tang's father roared angrily. Who hadn't been young? Tang's father had also gone out to explore when he was young. But the outside world was too vast and too dangerous. Without talent, without powerful encounters, without a tenacious heart, achieving a strong martial path was no easy task.
"Brother-in-law!" Tang Rui cast a pleading look at Lin Feng. Lin Feng shrugged, then with a thought, took out a storage ring he had obtained from a Venerable One and handed it to Tang Rui. "There are many good things in here. Cultivate well. When you can defeat Uncle, if you want to go out and explore, you can come find me at Heavenly Terrace in the Eight Wastelands!"
Tang Rui knew he couldn't sway his father. He took Lin Feng's storage ring and nodded heavily. "Good!"
"What weapon do you like?" Lin Feng asked again.
"Halberd, or spear!" Tang Rui replied.
With a thought, a Square Sky Halberd appeared in Lin Feng's hand. A wisp of terrifying killing aura spread out, extremely fearsome, causing Tang Rui's eyes to shoot out intense excitement. What a terrifying Square Sky Halberd! Tang's father was also startled. This Square Sky Halberd was incredibly powerful, definitely at the legendary Sacred Artifact level.
"I've already severed my connection with it. From now on, it's yours to use!" Lin Feng handed the Square Sky Halberd, which he had repaired in the City of Fate, to Tang Rui.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Tang Rui's eyes shone with excitement as he unceremoniously took the Square Sky Halberd. These several "brother-in-law" calls were really worth it!
Lin Feng walked over to Tang Yiyi and asked with a smile, "You still haven't told me your name!"
Looking at Lin Feng, Tang Yiyi replied, "Tang Yiyi!"
"Yiyi!" Lin Feng smiled and similarly took out a Venerable One's storage ring, handing it to Tang Yiyi.
"Second sister, what are you standing there for? Don't you want to become the number one youth of Dragon Mountain Empire!" Tang Rui spoke up. Only then did Tang Yiyi take the storage ring Lin Feng handed over and said softly, "Thank you!"
"Yiyi, this feathered robe is for you!" Lin Feng took out a defensive Sacred Artifact feathered robe and gave it to Tang Yiyi.
Tang's father witnessed all of this but said nothing. Now he couldn't see through Lin Feng at all. This youth who had won first place in the Snow Domain Grand Competition back then had grown terrifyingly. Sacred Artifacts, he could casually take them out as if they were ordinary Heavenly Artifacts. The entire Dragon Mountain Empire had never even heard of Sacred Artifacts appearing.
"Uncle, I won't disturb you further. Farewell!" Lin Feng didn't stay long. He said his goodbyes.
"Wait." Tang Yiyi called out, then walked in front of Lin Feng and handed him a storage ring. "Sister said you would like it, so I specially brewed some extra!"
"Mm!" A brilliant smile appeared in Lin Feng's eyes, sunny and handsome. He knew that inside must be the Blazing Essence Wine.
"Goodbye!" Lin Feng left together with Lan Jiao and Yan Di. Tang's father and the other two watched Lin Feng's departing figure, a strange emotion rising in their hearts. In Dragon Mountain Empire, such an outstanding youth was almost impossible to find. Perhaps, as Youyou had said, Lin Feng's ambition lay in the Nine Heavens Continent. How could a low-grade empire bind him?
After leaving the Tang family, Lin Feng didn't leave Dragon Mountain Empire directly. Instead, he sent Lan Jiao back to Star Dream Pavilion, then went to the Dragon Mountain Empire's Imperial Palace. Since he was already in the imperial city of Dragon Mountain Empire, how could Lin Feng not go to see Jun Moxi's father on his behalf? He greeted him and informed Jun Moxi's father about Jun Moxi's recent situation. Upon learning that his son had become the young master of the Undying Heavenly Palace, a Martial Emperor force, Jun Moxi's father was naturally very happy. It was just a pity about the throne, which had been intended for him.
He didn't stay long in the Imperial Palace. Lin Feng left some good things for Jun Moxi's father, then left Dragon Mountain Empire, speeding toward the Eight Wastelands.
Lin Feng passed through the Qian Domain but didn't rush to take revenge. Although his strength was decent now, it probably wouldn't be easy to destroy the several major powers of the Qian Domain. There would be time in the future. He would inevitably return to Snow Moon. The next time he came back would be the end of those forces in the Qian Domain.
Having settled matters in Snow Moon and learning that Youyou was still alive, Lin Feng felt much lighter. Although he hadn't found Youyou, as long as she was alive, they would meet again eventually. Now, only Yun Feiyang still had no news.
The giant sword flying through the void passed over stretches of land and nations, continuously advancing. Afterward, it crossed the Wasteland Sea and entered the Northern Wasteland region of the Eight Wastelands, returning to this familiar land.
At this moment, on the giant sword, Lin Feng sat cross-legged while Qiongqi lay lazily. Suddenly, a booming sound rolled out. The giant sword seemed to hit a barrier and abruptly stopped. Because of the sudden halt, Lin Feng's body uncontrollably lunged forward.
"Crack!" A terrifying giant hand reached out from the clouds, fiercely grabbing toward Lin Feng, carrying a rolling blood aura, intending to directly crush Lin Feng to death.
"An ambush!" Lin Feng's gaze congealed. What excellent concealment technique! He hadn't expected that upon returning to the Eight Wastelands, he would directly encounter an expert lying in wait to kill him.
"Die!" Lin Feng spat out a single word. His hand fiercely slashed out a sword strike, as fast as lightning, cutting toward the terrifying palm force in the clouds.
"Chi!" The sword energy was annihilated. The terrifying giant hand still slapped toward Lin Feng. The void trembled, and the rolling clouds frantically pressed down on Lin Feng.
"Boom!" Demonic energy rolled. The Skyless Great Demon Palm Seal blasted out, colliding with the wild giant hand in the clouds. It sent Lin Feng's body flying backward, his blood and qi churning incessantly, a mouthful of blood energy stuck in his chest.
From within the clouds, three figures stepped out. Their eyes carried a bloodthirsty killing aura, clearly vicious individuals.
"Hand over all the storage rings on you, and we'll spare your dog life!" The leader said coldly.
"Also, Lin Feng, take off all your clothes too!" Another person beside him also spoke, causing Lin Feng's eyes to suddenly congeal. His sharp gaze locked onto the one who had spoken last.
"How do you know my name is Lin Feng!" A cold gleam flashed in his eyes. It seemed this wasn't an ordinary robbery but a premeditated one, waiting for him all along!
"Thank you to Ren Wo Xiao Yao for the 588 Zui Lang Bi tip, thank you."
