# Chapter 1606: Night Visit to the Heavenly Summer Fortress

After Mu Yi left the room, Lin Feng sat alone in silence, a cold glint once again appearing in his eyes. When Mu Yi asked him if he had any fellow disciples at the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress, Lin Feng had already understood that the fortress had guessed that Mu En was Lin Feng. The one capable of making such a quick judgment was undoubtedly Qi Huang or Eastern Emperor.

Now, unless he didn't go, the moment he appeared, their speculation would be confirmed. Denial would be useless. Even if he tried to deny it when the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress already knew his identity, they would definitely have Yuan Fei and the others killed.

The question he was now considering was whether the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress and the Medicine King Immortal Palace dared to take his life, given that his identity was also tied to the Demon Night Island.

"Given the array dao abilities I displayed under the identity of Mu En, I'm afraid the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress won't let me go," Lin Feng thought to himself. They wouldn't allow someone who posed a threat to them to continue existing.

"Huff..." After pondering for a moment, Lin Feng continued carving array talismans. This would give him more means of self-preservation.

When night fell, a figure silently left the room in the courtyard. In fact, no one could even see the person—only occasionally, under the light of a lamp, would a shadow appear.

In the buffer zone, the encampment of the Great Xia Immortal Palace was unusually quiet. The martial cultivators there were either resting or cultivating. However, at that moment, a shadow silently infiltrated the encampment.

Inside a room of the Great Xia Immortal Palace, Xia You raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Who is it?"

"Lin Feng, here to pay my respects," a voice came from outside. Xia You's expression tightened slightly. Lin Feng? Coming to see him?

"Come in," Xia You said indifferently. A figure stepped into the room and appeared before him. Seeing this familiar face, a smile couldn't help but appear on Xia You's face. He said, "Master Mu En, you certainly have guts."

Since Lin Feng had appeared here, it undoubtedly confirmed the rumors outside: Mu En was Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng has come to pay respects to you, senior. Where is the boldness in that?" Lin Feng said calmly with a smile.

"Now the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress, the Medicine King Immortal Palace, and the Great Zhou Immortal Palace are all searching for you everywhere, yet you come to my Great Xia Immortal Palace. Aren't you afraid I'll capture you and hand you over to them?" Xia You said coldly.

"What benefit would that bring you, senior?" Lin Feng asked.

"Then why have you come here?" Xia You stood up, looking at the young man before him with interest.

"I've come to make a deal with you, senior. In three days, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress wants my life. I'd like the Great Xia Immortal Palace to intervene and help me leave safely," Lin Feng said.

Xia You was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then asked, "You want my Great Xia Immortal Palace to offend three factions at once? What are you offering in exchange?"

"Senior Mu Yi and I obtained two of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's Three Thousand Grand Array Dao—the Ruin Array Dao and the Illusory Transformation Array Dao. You've surely heard of the power of the Ruin Array Dao. I'll trade these two array daos. Is that acceptable?" Lin Feng looked into Xia You's eyes and continued, "Besides, the Great Xia Immortal Palace doesn't need to appear openly. You only need to hold off those people at the critical moment, giving me a chance to escape."

"No wonder the power was so great. He actually obtained two of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's Three Thousand Grand Array Dao," Xia You stared at Lin Feng. This temptation was indeed great. Mu En had used the power of the Sovereign Martial Realm to carve the Ruin Array Dao and killed seven Martial Emperors. If his Great Xia Immortal Palace could master this array dao and have people comprehend and carve it, their strength would rise by an entire tier.

A grand array dao could be deployed within a sect's territory, used in array talismans, carved into imperial artifacts, and even integrated into attacks. If the Ruin Array Dao became widespread in his Great Xia Immortal Palace, how could they not become even stronger? This was also why the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress treated Lin Feng so favorably—the value of an array dao master was immeasurable.

"What if I capture you right now?" Xia You's eyes revealed a captivating light. Lin Feng knew that the other party truly had thoughts of taking him.

"Before I came, I told Senior Mu Yi that if I didn't return, he should spread the news. At the same time, he would make a trip to Demon Night Island. The Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress has a reason to deal with me, but if the Great Xia Immortal Palace targets me out of greed for my array daos, I don't know what my uncles, the demon emperors of Demon Night Island, would think," Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng looked at Xia You calmly. The Great Xia Immortal Palace had only two choices: agree to him or refuse him.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll agree but still fail to protect you in the end?" Xia You said.

"If you agree, senior, I'll immediately pass on the Illusory Transformation Array Dao to you. When I survive safely, I'll pass on the Ruin Array Dao another day. Of course, if I find that the Great Xia Immortal Palace didn't do its best that day, that's another matter. As for the Great Xia Immortal Palace wanting to obtain my Illusory Transformation Array Dao without showing up—even if I die, Demon Night Island will remember this debt," Lin Feng said slowly. "Now, please give me your answer, senior. I still need to visit other factions."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Xia You fell into thought. This Lin Feng was quite clever. The Illusory Transformation Array Dao specialized in illusions, but what he wanted more was the offensive Ruin Array Dao. Yet the other party was giving him the Illusory Transformation Array Dao first. Moreover, he was going to visit other factions, which meant that if he refused Lin Feng, another faction might agree and successfully rescue Lin Feng, obtaining the Ruin Array Dao. Their strength would increase, and relatively speaking, the Great Xia Immortal Palace's power would actually be weakened.

This would, of course, be very disadvantageous for the Great Xia Immortal Palace.

Lin Feng's methods were quite ingenious.

"Fine, deal," Xia You was also a decisive person. After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.

"Senior is indeed straightforward. I'll teach you the Illusory Transformation Array Dao right now," Lin Feng said as he gathered his memories with his divine mind, shooting them from between his brows straight toward Xia You's brow, sending them into the other's divine consciousness.

"Senior, Lin Feng takes his leave," Lin Feng said, then slowly retreated from the room and left silently, his figure disappearing into the night.

Xia You walked out of the room, looking at the disappearing figure, and murmured softly, "Among the younger generation of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses, it's hard to find anyone who surpasses him. Even if my Great Xia Immortal Palace can't befriend him, at least we won't be his enemy."

Although the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress and other factions wanted to deal with Lin Feng, who knew what his fate would be?

After leaving the Great Xia Immortal Palace's encampment, Lin Feng headed straight for his second destination.

…………

Mu Yi walked outside Lin Feng's door, looking at the room that had remained closed. Today was the agreed-upon time, but Lin Feng didn't seem to have taken a single step outside.

He looked up at the sky. The red sun hung high—another good day. The time at the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress should have arrived. It seemed Lin Feng wasn't planning to go.

Although Mu Yi's feelings were quite complicated—a mix of disappointment and relief—disappointment because Lin Feng hadn't gone, relief for the same reason. This complex emotion was hard to articulate.

"I wonder what he's doing now," Mu Yi murmured to himself, then extended his consciousness toward Lin Feng's room. He hadn't disturbed Lin Feng these past few days, but now he wanted to see how Lin Feng was doing.

However, at that moment, his expression froze. His figure instantly moved like the wind to Lin Feng's door and pushed it open. The room was empty. There was no sign of Lin Feng.

"How can this be?" Mu Yi's expression tightened. He hadn't heard any movement from Lin Feng's side. Except for the day the news broke, he hadn't paid attention. For the following two days, he had been watching Lin Feng's room closely. There had been no movement at all, and no one had entered or left.

"Damn it," Mu Yi's heart sank. It seemed Lin Feng had left that very night and hadn't returned at all.

If Lin Feng had fled alone, he wouldn't believe it. That left only one possibility: Lin Feng had been running around for today's action, not disturbing him, acting alone.

"This guy," Mu Yi smiled bitterly, then his figure trembled violently and disappeared from the courtyard, heading straight for the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress in the buffer zone of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses.

Today, the area around the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress was unusually lively, with many people gathered. Over the past few days, the news that Master Mu En was Lin Feng had spread like wildfire, causing many who knew Lin Feng to marvel inwardly. Lin Feng, who had caused a stir at the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses' battle platform four or five years ago, had returned as an array dao master to take revenge on the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress and the Medicine King Immortal Palace.

The crowd's gazes turned toward the sky above the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress's encampment. There were many figures there, four of whom were particularly conspicuous: Yuan Fei, Prajna, and the other two.

"These are Lin Feng's fellow disciples from the small world, right? Their auras are vast and their cultivation strong. They're probably no worse than the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress's own younger generation. When they grow up, they'll be another force to be reckoned with," the crowd thought as they looked at Yuan Fei and the others. It was a pity these people had been controlled by the Mind Confusion Lord. However, since the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress had controlled them, they would also train them well. Xing Zhan's leg had already healed, naturally treated by the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress. The fortress didn't need useless people; they wanted powerful combat strength.

But today, would Lin Feng appear?

Many people doubted it. If Lin Feng showed up, his chances of survival were slim.

Eastern Emperor, Qi Huang, and Qi Qianxing were together, staring coldly at Yuan Fei and the three from the Heavenly Terrace. They wanted to see whether Lin Feng would appear or not.

The Medicine King Immortal Palace and the Great Zhou Immortal Palace both had experts present, fully prepared. With the Martial Emperors from three factions, once Lin Feng appeared this time, he wouldn't be able to leave.
