Chapter 1547: Rescue
“Let’s go back!” Qi Yunsheng stood up and said calmly. The results they had achieved on the first day were barely acceptable, but nothing to celebrate. The Wen Tian Fortress side had displayed an unprecedented level of dominance. It wasn’t just Wen Aofeng who stood out alone; two other members of Wen Tian Fortress were also extremely formidable, possessing the qualifications to compete for a spot in the top eighteen.
While Wen Aofeng had already secured a place in the top three, if Wen Tian Fortress managed to get three people into the top eighteen, they would undoubtedly become one of the controllers of the Small World for the next ten thousand years. They might even seize absolute control, just as Qi Tian Fortress had done for the past ten thousand years.
The people of Qi Tian Fortress walked out through the central corridor of the stands, and the others gradually dispersed as well. Many still felt a lingering sense of excitement. The young elites of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses, as the rulers of these nine main cities, were indeed terrifyingly powerful. Figures like Wen Aofeng could kill even Ninth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm cultivators with ease. No one knew if this was their limit, or if they were still hiding their true strength for critical moments.
However, none of this had anything to do with Lin Feng. He followed the crowd from Qi Tian Fortress out of the square battle platform. In the darkness, Mu Yun stood waiting off to the side.
When Qi Yuchen saw Mu Yun, a sharp, cold gleam flashed in his eyes. He said coldly, “What are you doing here?”
“The master has already given Yun’er to me!” Lin Feng stepped forward, placing himself ahead of Qi Yuchen, and arrived beside Mu Yun. His sharp gaze swept over Qi Yuchen. In the darkness, Lin Feng could clearly sense the killing intent in Qi Yuchen’s eyes.
Qi Yuchen flicked his sleeves and left, temporarily ignoring Lin Feng and Mu Yun.
“Yun’er, let’s go!” Lin Feng said in a low voice. They didn’t say much along the way. The group moved swiftly, returning to the buffer zone arranged by Qi Tian Fortress. Lin Feng brought Mu Yun into his own room.
“Lin Feng, you…” Mu Yun looked at Lin Feng with her beautiful eyes and transmitted her voice. She wanted to confirm whether Lin Feng had truly not been controlled.
“En!” Lin Feng nodded slightly. A faint smile immediately appeared in Mu Yun’s eyes. Fortunately, Lin Feng had not been controlled by Qi Tian Fortress. She wondered how he had managed it.
“Yun’er, go rest on the bed. Stay by my side for the next few days,” Lin Feng said with a frown. He had now completely fallen out with Qi Yuchen. That man wouldn’t let him and Yun’er off easily. Lin Feng himself could handle it, but Yun’er’s strength was too low. If Qi Yuchen plotted against her, she would have no way to escape.
Lin Feng naturally considered putting Yun’er into the Jade Emperor Palace. However, his current identity was special—he was supposed to be a controlled person. If Yun’er suddenly disappeared, the other party would obviously know he had a treasure that could hide people. If the Purple-Clad Martial Emperor asked him about it, given his ‘controlled’ status, he wouldn’t be able to explain it away. The only option was to keep Yun’er by his side and protect her.
Mu Yun’s face flushed slightly. Although Lin Feng had said they had a relationship, that was only to save her. Now that they were in the same room, and he told her to rest on the bed, she felt shy inside. Still, she nodded and lay down to rest, though her heart remained unsettled.
Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the floor, guarding the bedside. Yun’er was such a kind-hearted girl; he couldn’t bear to see her persecuted by Qi Tian Fortress. He didn’t know how to get her out of here!
Strength—everything still came down to strength. So Lin Feng directly sank into his dreamscape and began cultivating bitterly in his dreams, sleepless and tireless, only to grow stronger. One advantage of cultivating in dreams was that it was, after all, a dream—a form of sleep. No matter how long he cultivated, he wouldn’t feel exhausted. He could train day and night without rest.
The night here was quite still. At this moment, a dark figure stood in the sky above, seemingly completely merged with the darkness, as if no one could detect his presence.
“His temperament isn’t bad, but being controlled by Qi Tian Fortress makes it troublesome for me to speak to those people,” the dark figure mused to himself. But then his gaze froze slightly. Below, several figures were moving about in that courtyard.
“Hmm?” The dark figure frowned slightly. In one corner of the courtyard, Qi Yuchen was chatting and laughing with Jin Chenjun. The two gradually moved away, leaving the courtyard and heading into the distance.
After they left, a figure silently sneaked in, heading toward Lin Feng’s room.
Qi Yuchen glanced in that direction, a smile appearing in his eyes. Lin Feng dared to oppose him—courting death. He wanted Lin Feng to understand that as a direct descendant of Qi Tian Fortress, the power he could wield could easily crush him. As for Mu Yun, she would definitely regret it!
Seeing this scene, the dark figure in the sky descended slightly, now not far from Lin Feng’s room. The sneaking figure stopped outside Lin Feng’s door but didn’t enter. Instead, strands of law force seeped out, permeating toward the room.
“Dream-Entering Law?” The dark figure in the sky showed an intrigued expression. This person’s law force was actually dreams. If Lin Feng knew about this, he would surely be very surprised. Someone was using a cultivation technique similar to his own to deal with him—a Martial Emperor who had even cultivated law force.
“Hmm?” At that moment, the dark figure in the sky paused again. In one corner of the original courtyard, the ground seemed to ripple slightly. This ripple was also heading toward Lin Feng’s room.
“Interesting.” The dark figure chuckled inwardly. He hadn’t expected to encounter such an amusing scene tonight. So, who was the enemy, and who was the ally?
“Enter the dream!” The figure lurking outside Lin Feng’s room whispered inwardly. The Dream Law spread over Lin Feng, silent and unnoticed. Lin Feng didn’t even realize he had fallen into a double-layered dream, and one layer was a deep dream induced by law force.
The sneaking expert pushed open the door and directly stepped into Lin Feng’s room. Seeing Lin Feng sitting there quietly, a cold smile flashed in his eyes. Sending a Martial Emperor to kill a Seventh Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm cultivator was indeed overkill. But Qi Yuchen had done it to ensure silence—using the Dream Law to plunge Lin Feng into a deep dream before killing him.
“Sleep forever!” the sneaking expert said coldly. But at that moment, his gaze suddenly froze.
“Boom crack!” A terrifying force stabbed straight toward his heart, while Lin Feng’s body was wrapped in earth. The entire room began to collapse. A hand pulled Lin Feng down, and then they burrowed through the ground, rolling away.
The Dream Law Martial Emperor’s expression stiffened. It was another Martial Emperor, one skilled in Earth Law!
A Martial Emperor—he had no confidence he could win. So he glanced at Mu Yun, then flickered and left. He would leave Mu Yun for Qi Yuchen to deal with himself. The commotion here would soon be sensed by the Martial Emperors in the mansion. Since this mission was covert, he couldn’t afford to be exposed, so he chose to leave immediately.
As expected, the moment he flickered away, several figures broke through the air. Lin Feng’s room had already collapsed into ruins, and Lin Feng himself had vanished.
The Purple-Clad Martial Emperor’s expression darkened. Lin Feng had been lost right under Qi Tian Fortress’s nose. Who did this?
“Whoosh!” A gust of wind swept by. The Purple-Clad Martial Emperor chased after the direction the Dream Law Martial Emperor had fled. The Dream Law Martial Emperor had left later, leaving behind traces of his aura that could be tracked.
Qi Yunxiao frowned at this scene, then shouted into the void, “Qi Yuchen, come see me!”
Qi Yunsheng, however, stepped forward. He didn’t pursue the Dream Law Martial Emperor but instead chased after the Earth Law aura. Soon, Qi Yunsheng arrived at a spot outside the mansion, his brows tightly furrowed. The aura had been severed here, as if forcibly cut off!
At this moment, in a place much farther away, Yu Huang appeared with Lin Feng. He had to bring Lin Feng out no matter what, regardless of whether Lin Feng was truly controlled. If he was, Yu Huang would have to slowly find a way to break the control.
Fortunately, luck was on his side tonight. Yu Huang had successfully brought Lin Feng out. But what he hadn’t expected was that Lin Feng seemed to be in a deep sleep, unable to wake up.
