# Chapter 1464: Night Hunt
As night fell, the vast Qi family compound was brightly lit, with voices occasionally drifting from the various main halls. However, as time slowly passed, the sounds gradually quieted down until, by midnight, the Qi family members were either in cultivation or resting, and the entire compound suddenly fell silent.
For an existence like the Qi family, there was naturally no need for night watchmen. This was the confidence of a powerful force—who would dare to cause trouble at the Qi family?
Within the Qi family, there were specific cultivation towers. In one flame tower, the fire energy was extremely dense, exuding a terrifying aura. At this moment, a figure walked out from the flame tower, holding a ball of cold void fire in both hands, a smile on his face as he flickered toward his own residence.
"Who!" The man suddenly shouted coldly. But in that instant, strands of void light faintly appeared in the darkness, directly imprisoning him. A suffocating aura pressed down on him, making it impossible for him to breathe smoothly, his face turning pale.
"Don't speak!" A faint voice rang out. A shadow draped in a black robe appeared in the night, firmly gripping his neck.
The man stared at the black-robed figure, his expression ugly, and transmitted his voice: "Sir, this is the Qi family!"
"I know. I just want to borrow your Qi family's void passage. I have no other intentions. Now, take me there. Of course, if you want to play games, I can guarantee that before the Qi family knows I'm here, you will die!" A cold voice came from within the black robe. Then, the figure gradually vanished, completely disappearing into the void, leaving the man's expression stiff.
"Fine, I'll take you there!" The man didn't dare to hesitate and walked in a certain direction. After all, the Eastern Emperor was hosting a banquet for all the heroes of the world, so it wasn't unusual for someone to want to borrow the void passage. But this person's audacity was too great—forcing his way in. Of course, he never imagined that Lin Feng had any other intentions. In fact, he didn't even think in that direction. Who would dare to make a move against the Qi family?
The entrance to the Qi family's passage was in a very dilapidated courtyard, where there was an ancient cave opening.
"Inside, two elders of my Qi family are guarding the ancient cave. To pass through, you must go through them." The man saw Lin Feng's figure reappear and transmitted his voice.
"Good. Take me inside." Lin Feng replied, making the man's expression stiffen. Seeing Lin Feng's figure vanish again, leaving him no room to refuse, he could only lift his foot and continue forward.
The two entered the ancient cave. Ahead, there was indeed a narrow passage, with strong void fluctuations spreading from the entrance. In front of the entrance, two figures sat with their eyes closed, quietly guarding it.
"Two elders, I want to enter the void battlefield for training!" The man stepped forward and said in a low voice. The two elders opened their eyes, frowning slightly as if sensing something unusual. Their cultivation was at the Eighth Layer of the Venerable Martial Realm, and their senses were extremely sharp. They always felt something was wrong.
"Pfft..." A crisp sound suddenly rang out. A dazzling light burst forth, and the head of the man who had spoken directly exploded, pierced by a brilliant sword.
"Die!" The terrifying intent of death descended upon the two elders, stripping away their life force. A single sword, cold light, instant desolation—too fast to block. The distance was too close. One elder's head also exploded, dying without knowing how. The other tried to move, but suddenly found a black-robed shadow in front of him. Terrifying void sacred pattern power imprisoned his body, and a dark hand directly grabbed his head.
The elder was drenched in sweat, enveloped by the intent of death. For the first time, he was so close to the god of death. Someone actually dared to kill their way into the Qi family!
"Did Qi Qianxing go to the Qi Kingdom with Qi Huang?" Lin Feng transmitted his voice, a hint of demonic sound in his tone. In his pitch-black pupils, demonic light flickered, revealing the light of the Nine Netherworld.
"He went." The man was already under intense fear, his will weak, and eroded by the demonic curse. He almost subconsciously responded to Lin Feng.
"How many people did Qi Huang take?" Lin Feng continued coldly.
"He took all the talented young members of the Qi family, along with several core figures like Qi Qianxing."
"Buzz..." Just as the two were speaking, two figures suddenly rushed out from the cave entrance, exuding a terrifying aura. But the moment they stepped in, they first froze, then stopped in place. Someone was coercing a Qi family expert? Doing the same thing as them?
"Senior brothers!" Lin Feng's gaze suddenly froze. It was Ruoxie and Mo Qingtian. They had also appeared.
"Who are you..." The elder's face changed drastically. Then, a crisp sword roar rolled out. Lin Feng's sword qi pierced through the elder's head, killing him.
"Lin Feng!" Ruoxie and Mo Qingtian instantly recognized Lin Feng, slightly stunned. But then, smiles appeared on their faces. "We were worried about whether this trip would go smoothly. Now that you're here, it'll be much easier!"
Lin Feng also smiled. He didn't expect that his two senior brothers had the same idea as him—loosening the Qi family's bones a bit.
"Lin Feng, this isn't our first time doing this kind of thing." Mo Qingtian smiled at Lin Feng. Last time at the Yang family in Tianyuan City, they had done something similar. But this time, it was more dangerous because what they were targeting was a Martial Emperor clan.
"Senior brothers, the Qi family has deep foundations, and this palace compound is so vast. We'll have to take it slowly!" Lin Feng said slowly.
"I think so too. I've been waiting in the void battlefield for Qi Huang and the others to head to the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms. They only entered the battlefield this morning. Ruoxie and I planned to act tonight, kill as many as we can. How can we not take revenge for what the Qi family did to our Heavenly Terrace!" Mo Qingtian said slowly.
"Now that there are three of us, Qingtian, we can change the plan a bit. When it comes to killing, Ruoxie and I are better at it than you. Leave a mark on me and Lin Feng, then disguise yourself and wait in the middle of the void passage. Once you see Qi Huang and the others returning, crush the mark to warn me and Lin Feng." Ruoxie said to Mo Qingtian in a low voice. Mo Qingtian was skilled in the Star Technique and could also change his appearance.
"Alright. I'll go to the middle of the void battlefield. That way, Qi Huang will still need some time to return. Once I crush the mark, you two immediately withdraw!" Mo Qingtian didn't object to Ruoxie's suggestion. Originally, there were only two of them, not enough hands. Now that Lin Feng was here, having someone watching Qi Huang naturally made it safer, and they could kill more freely.
After discussing, the three immediately took action. Mo Qingtian left a mark on Lin Feng and Ruoxie, then stepped into the void battlefield.
Lin Feng and Ruoxie didn't act immediately. They stayed and waited, first letting Qingtian reach the middle of the void battlefield before moving, to be more efficient.
"Senior brother Ruoxie, let's not expose ourselves too early. We'll hunt slowly first." Lin Feng's eyes held a cold intent. Ruoxie's Desolate Time Essence, Fast and Slow Essence, and his Fast and Slow Sword killed with lightning speed. Lin Feng also had many methods, killing silently. This time, they would definitely make the Qi family suffer.
At this moment, the Qi family was still peaceful. Perhaps they hadn't realized what situation they were in. The Qi family, entrenched in the Eastern Wasteland of the Eight Wastelands, was a Martial Emperor clan with immense strength. They never imagined anyone would dare to cause trouble inside the Qi family. So, the lineup guarding the void passage wasn't too strong—two elders at the Eighth Layer of the Venerable Martial Realm. They thought that was enough.
Time slowly passed. At this moment, two figures silently flickered out from the entrance of the Qi family's void battlefield passage, disappearing into the darkness. They moved like wisps of smoke, soundless and traceless. One of the figures even completely vanished.
In a room, a strong cultivator at the Sixth Layer of the Venerable Martial Realm was resting. After cultivating for a while and breaking through to the Sixth Layer of the Venerable Martial Realm, he could finally rest for a few days in peace.
But at this moment, he seemed to sense something wrong. He opened his eyes, and his gaze froze. In front of him, a black shadow had appeared.
"Chi..." A sword pierced his throat, blood splattering. His gaze stiffened, revealing fear and confusion. He had been killed silently, in his own room, in the Qi family, a Martial Emperor clan.
The black shadow melted back into the darkness, disappearing directly, as if it had never existed. It flickered toward other courtyards, only hunting Venerable Martial Realm experts.
Ruoxie was doing the same thing. Wearing a long robe, he avoided the brightly lit areas, flickering through the night. His Fast and Slow Essence had now reached the Eighth Layer peak. When fast, he was like an illusory flash of light, impossible to catch. Every time a sword hummed, a drop of blood would fall.
Of course, Ruoxie's killing speed still couldn't match Lin Feng's. Lin Feng had the Shadow Essence. With a thought, he could completely merge into the darkness, devoid of any aura. With the cover of night, he was truly silent, shuttling through courtyards with ease. In half an hour, countless people had died by his hand.
"Cultivation tower!" At this moment, Lin Feng arrived in the shadow of a distant cultivation tower of the Qi family. The towering cultivation tower was branded with blazing flames, lighting up the night.
"There should be quite a few cultivators inside!" Lin Feng's eyes held a cold smile. He silently approached the cultivation tower. This tower was open to any Qi family member, with no restrictions and no guards. As Lin Feng got closer, he felt a scorching flame aura.
Lin Feng's figure gradually appeared, then he openly stepped into the cultivation tower. He casually glanced at the people sitting cross-legged in cultivation, most of them at the low-level Venerable Martial Realm.
"The flames are hotter above!" Following the stairs, Lin Feng naturally walked upward, flames swirling around him. No one even gave him a second glance. The Qi family was so large that no one could claim to recognize everyone. Lin Feng, walking openly into the cultivation tower, drew no attention at all!
"Thank you to Li Qinyu for tipping 100 Zulang coins, thank you."
