# Chapter 1463: News
In the Eastern Wasteland, within a tavern in Sunrise City, many people were discussing the major events happening in the Eight Wastelands. The Eight Wastelands had truly become a storm of blood and rain, with prodigies emerging one after another, each possessing formidable strength. Most of these prodigies were very young, stirring up the situation of the Eight Wastelands.
Not to mention these prodigies, the flames of war were burning among the various Martial Emperor factions. Among them, the clashes between the Qi Family, the Wen Family, and others were the most intense. A few months ago, Martial Emperor factions like the Qi Family and the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress had even joined forces to target the Heavenly Terrace, causing the Heavenly Terrace to vanish from the Eight Wastelands without a trace. This was because the Heavenly Terrace and the Wen Family were vaguely allied factions.
"Although the Heavenly Terrace has disappeared, the Qi Family and the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress have no intention of letting the Heavenly Terrace off. A while ago, it was said that the Qi Family captured several rebellious disciples of the Heavenly Terrace and burned them alive at the site where the Heavenly Terrace once stood in Heavenly Realm City, hoping to lure out other members of the Heavenly Terrace. And indeed, one person appeared out of anger, but it was merely a suicide mission. At that time, Qi Qianxing was personally guarding the place. It's a pity for those Heavenly Terrace disciples—why weren't they more careful?"
Someone in the tavern let out a sigh. The Heavenly Terrace had temporarily gone into hiding to protect its weaker disciples, who couldn't withstand the destruction brought by war and would inevitably become cannon fodder. The Martial Emperor of the Heavenly Terrace had chosen to disband them, actually intending for them to stay hidden and cultivate diligently. But factions like the Qi Family didn't want to let anyone go. They were hunting the Heavenly Terrace everywhere, even offering heavy rewards. Discovering a Heavenly Terrace disciple could earn how many Arcane Fragments, and any clue, no matter how small, became a possibility of exposure.
"Heh, you don't know this, but the families of some Heavenly Terrace disciples have been placed under surveillance. If not for the face of the Martial Emperor factions, I suspect they would have directly attacked the families of the Heavenly Terrace disciples," someone said in a low voice. That person didn't even dare to speak too loudly. Such methods had already crossed the line.
"Keep your voice down, do you want to die!" someone glared at the speaker, and the person immediately shut up. However, he still felt several cold glares shooting toward him, sending chills down his spine. As the saying goes, disaster comes from the mouth. His loose tongue seemed to have made him forget this, and now, being stared at, he felt a sense of fear.
"One tongue, or one arm—choose for yourself!" A young man sitting in a corner uttered a cold voice, causing the speaker's expression to stiffen, his face instantly turning pale.
"Sir, I deserve to die. I was talking nonsense!" The panicked man stood up and bowed to the young man, his face pale. In Sunrise City, provoking the Qi Family was asking for death.
"Chi, chi..." The wine table shattered. The young man stood up, faced the crowd, and raised his head, revealing a rather handsome face.
"It's Qi Zang!" The crowd's hearts trembled upon seeing this face. Qi Zang had been drinking alone in the corner, like an unknown person, without saying a word. No one expected that it was Qi Zang, the current talented genius of the Qi Family who had risen to prominence after countless geniuses died in the Assembly of Emperors. His cultivation had now reached the Seventh Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, and it was said he had comprehended the power of Ninth Layer Profound Meaning.
"Do I need to do it myself?" Qi Zang said calmly.
The man's expression stiffened, turning pale. Then, closing his eyes, he roared in anger and chopped off one of his own arms. His cultivation was only at the Heavenly Martial Realm, and such a severe injury couldn't heal on its own. His face instantly turned deathly pale as blood continuously spilled onto the tavern floor.
Qi Zang didn't spare the man another glance. He lifted his foot and slowly walked out of the tavern, quickly disappearing from sight. The quiet tavern suddenly erupted into noise again.
"This Qi Zang is ruthless, but his strength is indeed terrifying. Even if he wanted that worthless life, he would have to give it."
"Hmph, some people don't know when to die, spouting nonsense and asking for it."
The tavern was a mixed bag. Seeing the man cut off his arm, some people continued to mock and kick him when he was down, worshiping the strong and despising the weak.
The man picked up his bleeding arm and, with a pale face, walked out of the tavern.
"Wait!" At that moment, a voice rang out, causing the man to freeze in his steps. He turned around and looked at the table next to where Qi Zang had been sitting. Another young man was looking up at him and said, "Let me help stop the bleeding!"
Seeing the clear smile in the other's eyes, the man hesitated but still walked over and sat down at the young man's table.
This young man was none other than Lin Feng, who had changed his face. The human skin masks Old Man Xiao had given him were all top-grade, and no one could see through them. The Qi Family probably never imagined that Lin Feng, the person they most wanted to kill, was actually in Sunrise City, where the Qi Family was located. Moreover, he was in this tavern not far from the Qi Family's mansion, sitting next to Qi Zang, the genius of the Qi Family.
Lin Feng placed his palm on the man's other arm, and instantly, a rich, surging life force coursed through the man's body. The man's expression trembled as he bathed in the life force, feeling an indescribable comfort throughout his body.
"Profound Meaning power, and it's Life Essence!" The man looked at Lin Feng. So young, yet already controlling the rare Life Essence. At least a mid-rank Venerable. Impressive. There was both surprise and gratitude in his eyes.
After all, Lin Feng was a stranger to him, and he had just offended Qi Zang of the Qi Family.
Others also found it strange that someone would still be willing to help this man at such a time.
"Drink a drop of this!" Lin Feng took out Life Water and dripped a drop into the man's mouth. Instantly, the man's severed arm slowly began to grow back, causing others to stare with sharp eyes. A treasure—that was Life Water, containing terrifying life force. This person was being far too kind.
Seeing his reborn arm, the man was so excited he couldn't speak. He stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Feng. "Your great kindness, I have no way to repay it."
The man's arm had just been cut off, and the tissue inside hadn't necrotized yet. After immediately taking the Life Water full of vitality, a new arm was able to grow.
"Let's take a walk!" Lin Feng nodded slightly to the man and stood up, walking out of the tavern. The man hesitated for a moment, then realized Lin Feng might need something from him, so he followed.
"Do you want revenge?" Lin Feng and the man walked along the main road, and Lin Feng said in a low voice. The man's eyes trembled, and he transmitted to Lin Feng, "This Sunrise City is the world of the Qi Family. Qi Zang is currently the most talented young man of the Qi Family. How can I, a mere Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator, possibly take revenge?"
"I can help you!" Lin Feng smiled.
The man looked at Lin Feng and guessed that Lin Feng also had a grudge against the Qi Family or Qi Zang. But going against the Qi Family was too dangerous, and he hesitated.
"What do I need to do?"
"Qi Yan, the son of the Eastern Emperor, will soon be married. Currently, the Qi Family's Martial Emperor, Qi Huang, is Qi Yan's elder brother. He will definitely go to the Qi Kingdom in the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms and will take the upper echelons of the Qi Family with him in advance. Once Qi Huang is gone, I can take half of the Qi Family's life!" Lin Feng looked calmly ahead, a cold glint in his deep eyes. He was, of course, aware of the Qi Family's recent hunting of Heavenly Terrace disciples. Now, it was time to collect some interest.
A wedding? He would see if the Qi Family could have a peaceful wedding. Let the Qi Family spend Qi Yan's wedding in fear!
"What a confident person!" The man's heart trembled.
"Can you find out which day Qi Huang will leave the Qi Family?"
The man's expression froze, then he nodded. "If it's as you say, Qi Huang leaving and taking the Qi Family's upper echelons with him will definitely leave clues."
"Qi Huang will leave through a special passage within the Qi Family, so he won't leave in a grand manner. It's very likely he'll leave silently from inside the Qi Family," Lin Feng added. "If you can't get the information, I won't blame you. Saving you was just a small effort."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, the man was silent for a moment, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Because of a single sentence, Qi Zang wanted him to cut off his arm. How could he not take revenge for this grudge?
"I'll find a way. If I don't have exact information, I won't let you take the risk!"
"Good. If you get news of Qi Huang's departure, come to this tavern at noon, and I'll understand. If you don't get any news, don't show up in the tavern, and I'll understand that too. Be careful yourself!" Lin Feng nodded slightly to the man, then quickened his pace, disappearing from the man's sight in an instant.
The common folk had their own rumors. Their methods might be more useful than Lin Feng acting alone, which was why Lin Feng did this. Even if he didn't get the information, it didn't matter. He could act on the day of Qi Yan's wedding. Since he had saved the man, the man wouldn't deliberately give him false information to mislead him.
In the following days, Lin Feng went to the tavern every day at noon to drink, but he changed his face each time. He did this for over ten days until one day, the man's figure finally appeared in the tavern again. He sat quietly at a table, occasionally looking around, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
After observing for a while, Lin Feng left the tavern. When he came back in, he had resumed his previous face and walked to the man's table. Seeing Lin Feng appear, the man's eyes clearly showed a trace of excitement.
"He's gone. During this time, the Qi Family has been collecting rare treasures. Yesterday, they gathered all the treasures and sent them to the same place. This morning, the Qi Family made a move. Some important figures left, but I'm not sure if Qi Huang left. After all, no one can know Qi Huang's whereabouts," the man transmitted to Lin Feng.
"That's enough." A smile appeared in Lin Feng's eyes. He raised his glass to the man and said, "Cheers!"
"Cheers!" The man also smiled, clinked glasses with Lin Feng, and drank it all in one gulp. Then Lin Feng quietly left.
The man looked at the disappearing figure across from him and murmured to himself, "Who could he be?"
Perhaps, there would be news soon!
