Chapter 1593: Invitations from All Sides
"Wuji Palace!" The expressions of the strong experts from the Great Zhou Immortal Palace were very unpleasant. Wuji Palace was a terrifying force in the Four Symbols Domain. Even though the Wuji Heavenly Emperor had already fallen, Wuji Palace was still far beyond what the Great Zhou Immortal Palace could provoke. Although the yellow-faced young man had an ordinary appearance and temperament, his terrifying array dao power, coupled with the protection of the mid-rank Emperor Mu Yi, confirmed that he was indeed from Wuji Palace, and should be a disciple out on a training expedition.
Because of Lin Feng's previously displayed terrifying array dao abilities, when Mu Yi spoke the words "Wuji Palace," no one doubted him, not even the people of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace. It seemed only natural.
The mid-rank Emperor's eyes flickered continuously. In that instant, countless thoughts raced through his mind. Finally, he decided to set aside the enmity. With a mid-rank Emperor protecting a disciple out training, he had no courage to kill. There was only one path: to turn conflict into harmony.
"You jest, sir." The mid-rank Emperor's expression shifted rapidly, and he now wore a smiling face, saying warmly, "I never expected it to be an outstanding talent from Wuji Palace. No wonder your array dao is so extraordinary and powerful. The Great Zhou Immortal Palace admires it. It seems this was all a misunderstanding. On behalf of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace, I apologize to you, sir."
Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged, still cold. At this moment, many thoughts were also stirring in his heart. This was the benefit of being a disciple of a major force. A single title was enough to make the Great Zhou Immortal Palace halt in their tracks. Not only did they dare not attack and kill him, but they even offered an apology. If he had not claimed to be from Wuji Palace, even if his array dao power was formidable, he was still only a Venerable Martial cultivator who had not yet stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm. With the opponent's mid-rank Emperor strength, they would still surely kill him.
"If I can make the Heavenly Terrace stand tall in the Great World and become renowned across the continent, then who would dare to touch those under the Heavenly Terrace's protection? In the future, those who step out from the Small World can all receive its shelter, just like Qing Di Mountain and this entire Qing Di Mountain region. The Heavenly Terrace will become a holy land," Lin Feng thought silently to himself. Meanwhile, the mid-rank Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace, seeing Lin Feng remain silent, barked coldly, "Zhou Tianmu!"
Zhou Tianmu behind him trembled slightly and stepped forward. When Mu Yi had spoken the words "Wuji Palace," he already knew things had taken a bad turn. He had once tried to seize the beast hide of someone from Wuji Palace.
"Useless waste." The strong expert fiercely slapped out, sending Zhou Tianmu flying. Blood gushed from his mouth. His heart was filled with grief and indignation. Not only could he not avenge his hatred, but he was also humiliated by his elder. He hated, but this hatred was powerless.
"Sir, this matter is due to my Great Zhou Immortal Palace's lax discipline of its disciples. I hope you will not take offense." The mid-rank Martial Emperor smiled at Lin Feng, causing the surrounding crowd to sigh inwardly at this man's good composure. He probably wished he could kill Lin Feng, yet he could smile and be so polite.
Lin Feng sneered at the other party and said indifferently, "I have no past grievances with the Great Zhou Immortal Palace. However, your disciples bullied me too deeply. First, they tried to rob my treasures. After I taught them a lesson, they came to kill me several times, trying to take my life. Fortunately, my array dao is decent, and I have Uncle Mu Yi to protect me. Otherwise, I would probably have already died at the hands of your Great Zhou Immortal Palace, wouldn't I?"
Lin Feng's words made the mid-rank Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace stiffen. He said, "If you wish to deal with that unfilial wretch Zhou Tianmu, do as you please."
"Putting all the blame on Zhou Tianmu is enough. But weren't you all charging over with overwhelming momentum just now? However, in the martial world, the strong prey on the weak. There is no right or wrong to begin with. I can understand your actions. If I didn't have Uncle Mu Yi to protect me and wasn't from Wuji Palace, I would be dead by now. So, if I ever encounter people from the Great Zhou Immortal Palace in the future, as long as I can kill them, I will show no mercy."
"What a proud man." The crowd was startled by Lin Feng's words. This Lin Feng truly had a strange temper, so arrogant. He even rejected the Great Zhou Immortal Palace's apology. Saying in front of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace's people that he would kill them whenever he could in the future was ruthless enough. However, as a master of powerful array dao and a disciple of Wuji Palace, having been attacked by the Great Zhou Immortal Palace several times, he must have been displeased and wanted to retaliate.
The strong expert from the Great Zhou Immortal Palace felt a jolt in his heart. The smile on his lips seemed rather forced. His heart was cold. This person was far too proud, not giving his Great Zhou Immortal Palace any face at all.
"Sir, there is no need to be so aggressive," the Martial Emperor said coldly.
"Scram." Lin Feng only had one word, causing the Martial Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace's expression to gradually turn cold as well. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he said coldly, "My Great Zhou Immortal Palace has already apologized. If you still insist on this, I am helpless. Farewell."
With that, he turned around and swept away. He was a mid-rank Emperor, yet he had humbled himself to apologize. But Lin Feng told him to scram. Since it was irreconcilable, was he supposed to kneel and beg Lin Feng?
The distant crowd saw this scene, and many figures flickered away.
"Let's go back." A meaningful smile appeared in Lin Feng's eyes. He said softly, then descended with Mu Yi back into the courtyard.
The illusion array was activated again. Mu Yi's expression was quite puzzled as he looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Did you have a grudge with the Great Zhou Immortal Palace before?"
"Some conflicts, but nothing to the point of life-and-death hatred." Lin Feng lay back on the wooden chair, gazing at the void, a meaningful smile in his eyes. "Senior Mu Yi, remove the illusion array. Perhaps soon, someone will come to visit the two of us."
"I don't know what you're thinking," Mu Yi shook his head slightly but still stood up, preparing to remove the illusion array.
"We study array dao techniques, but we also need many materials. If someone could automatically provide them for us, wouldn't that be even better?" Lin Feng said casually. At this moment, Mu Yi removed the array. As Lin Feng had guessed, it wasn't long before someone arrived at the courtyard.
"Qi Tian Fortress's Qi Yunxiao. I heard that an outstanding talent from Wuji Palace resides here. I have come specially to pay a visit." A voice came from outside the courtyard. A smile appeared in Lin Feng's eyes, but he still lazily leaned back in his chair, muttering to himself, "The Qi Tian Fortress moves quickly. It seems that after losing control of the Small World for ten thousand years, the Qi Tian Fortress pays more attention to the movements here."
The truth was just as Lin Feng thought. Now, the Wen Tian Fortress and the Medicine King Immortal Palace were both very strong. Moreover, Wen Tian Fortress's Wen Aofeng's talent was clearly superior to all the younger generation of the Qi Tian Fortress. He had already stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm three years ago, while Qi Yuchen was still stuck at the Invincible Sovereign Lord level, unable to ascend to the Imperial throne. The Dust-Reversing Martial Emperor also valued Wen Aofeng greatly, causing Wen Aofeng to receive vigorous training from Qing Di Mountain. Although he was still insignificant now, he would surely become a force to be reckoned with in the future. The Medicine King Immortal Palace was also producing strong experts one after another. Coupled with the Thunder Punishment Immortal Palace's enduring strength, the Qi Tian Fortress had even lost control of the Small World and was showing signs of decline. If this continued, it was hard to imagine what the situation of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses would be like in a few hundred or even a thousand years.
A young array dao master, and an outstanding talent from Wuji Palace, was undoubtedly worth befriending. This could only benefit the Qi Tian Fortress. Therefore, Qi Yunxiao came personally this time to pay a visit.
"Come in, everyone." Lin Feng said calmly. Immediately, the figures of the Qi Tian Fortress outside the courtyard stepped inside. Lin Feng had already stood up from his chair, his gaze sweeping over the visitors from the Qi Tian Fortress. His eyes twitched slightly, but he hid that trace of coldness deep within his pupils.
The Eastern Emperor and the Qi Emperor were both there. Moreover, back when the Eight Wastelands' Emperors had besieged the Qi family, even Qi Qianxing hadn't been killed. At that time, everyone's attention was on the imperial battle between the Martial Emperors, so Qi Qianxing hadn't been conspicuous. And Mu Chen had taken them away to the passage leading to the Great World, preparing to leave. So no one had paid attention to Qi Qianxing. He was still alive, appearing before Lin Feng.
Of course, the Lin Feng of today was no longer what he once was. The Qi Qianxing who had once bullied and exiled him from a position of superiority could no longer stir any great waves in his heart.
"What brings you all here?" Lin Feng asked Qi Yunxiao indifferently.
"Hearing that an array dao master from Wuji Palace has arrived here, I came immediately, wanting to invite you to the Qi Tian Fortress for a visit, so that my Qi Tian Fortress can fulfill the duties of a host." Qi Yunxiao was very polite to Lin Feng. Array dao masters were inherently of great value, and with the addition of the words "Wuji Palace," it became even more extraordinary.
"The master of this region is not just the Qi Tian Fortress." At this moment, another voice came from outside the courtyard, ringing in everyone's ears. "Thunder Punishment Immortal Palace has come to pay respects to the array dao master of Wuji Palace."
"Wen Tian Fortress has come to pay respects."
Outside, voices came one after another, causing a gleam of light to flash in Lin Feng's eyes. Sure enough, after hearing the words "Wuji Palace," the people of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses could no longer sit still and had come to extend invitations!
