# Chapter 1615: Quietly Departing
On Demon Night Island, within a medicinal garden, a beautiful woman in white robes was observing the growth of the herbs. At that moment, however, she seemed to sense something and lifted her head to gaze toward a distant mountain peak. There she saw several figures standing, one of whom was extremely familiar—none other than Lin Feng.
Her figure rose into the air, Mu Yun's body dancing through the void like a white-clad fairy maiden. Moments later, she arrived before Lin Feng and the others, smiling as she asked, "When did you return?"
"I just arrived not long ago. I brought you some herbs—here, take them." Lin Feng gathered the herbs he had obtained from the Medicine King Immortal Palace into a storage ring. Since he was not very knowledgeable about them, he gave them all to Mu Yun.
"Mm." Mu Yun smiled gently and did not stand on ceremony with Lin Feng, directly taking the storage ring from his hand.
"I still need to visit a few senior demon emperors. Take care of yourself, Yun'er." Lin Feng nodded slightly to Mu Yun and did not linger. His figure flickered, and he vanished once more. Mu Yun watched Lin Feng and the others as they departed, her lips moving slightly, but no words came out. She simply gazed at his retreating back with a gentle smile.
After leaving, Lin Feng arrived at a demon island not far from Demon Night Island.
"Old friend!" Lin Feng called out loudly. Immediately, a rumbling sound echoed as a massive ape body appeared—it was none other than the Earth Demon Ape. Seeing Lin Feng descending from the void, the ape's enormous mouth split into a grin. "Come to be beaten again?"
"You haven't been able to beat me for three years now, have you?" Lin Feng said with a smile. This Earth Demon Ape's attack power was indeed terrifying, but he was somewhat lacking in speed.
"I've brought a few friends. I hope you can look after them and train them well." Lin Feng smiled.
"Roar..." Beside Lin Feng, the Great Ape Emperor and Yuan Fei both roared, reverting to their true forms as giant apes. Seeing this, the Earth Demon Ape was momentarily stunned, then grinned. "Good, leave them to me."
"There's one more." Lin Feng spoke, and Xing Zhan also roared, transforming into his true body.
"Wasteland Horn War Beast!" The Earth Demon Ape's expression froze. "This is my first time seeing a Wasteland Horn War Beast. They're said to possess the battle bloodline. I want to see whether the Wasteland Horn War Beast is better at fighting, or my ape clan."
"Up to you. I'll leave my friends in your hands for now. When you have time, remember to introduce them to the other demon emperors." Lin Feng laughed heartily. His figure flashed, and he left together with Prajna and Li Hen. Yuan Fei and Xing Zhan were both violent, battle-hungry demon beasts, making the Earth Demon Ape a good fit for them. But Prajna and Li Hen were different—Prajna cultivated Buddhism, which was a different path from demons, so Lin Feng wasn't sure which demon emperor would be suitable for him.
Li Hen specialized in the Li Hen Melody, controlling sound waves and illusion essence, so it would be easier to find a suitable demon beast for him.
Lin Feng had spent several years on Demon Night Island, and he knew well that with the help of the demon emperors, the promotion of a martial cultivator's martial path was very significant. He hoped his fellow disciples would stay on Demon Night Island to temper themselves for a few years before leaving. If they could break through to the Martial Emperor Realm, that would be even better.
Before long, Lin Feng returned to Demon Night Island. This time, he found Hu Yue.
"Sister Hu Yue, I want to ask a favor of you." Lin Feng walked up to Hu Yue. Hu Yue was a high-rank demon emperor and was very familiar with Demon Night Island and the surrounding demon islands. In the past, she had taken him around to explore and temper himself. If he could entrust Li Hen and Prajna to her, Lin Feng would feel at ease.
"Little brother Lin, are you being polite with me now?" Hu Yue laughed coquettishly as she walked up to Lin Feng, placing her hands on his shoulders, looking especially seductive. But Lin Feng was long accustomed to this vixen's teasing. Smiling wryly, he said, "I hope Sister Hu Yue can look after my two fellow disciples."
"You already know enough demon emperors on Demon Night Island now. You could take them along to train. Why bother with me?" Hu Yue's hand brushed across Lin Feng's face. "Tell me, little one, are you planning to leave Demon Night Island?"
Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, then nodded slightly.
"You little rascal. Are you really willing to abandon your sister and leave? And your little lover too?" Hu Yue's eyes looked at Lin Feng with a plaintive gaze that made him feel somewhat overwhelmed.
"Sister Hu Yue, Yun'er and I are just friends. As for you, of course I'm reluctant to part. But regarding the matter of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region, I'm not too concerned about Azure Emperor Mountain, but something will happen at the Boundless Palace." Lin Feng did not hide the truth. He was well aware of how good Hu Yue, Shen Yu, and the other demon emperors had been to him. Although Hu Yue often teased him, everything she did was for his benefit.
"Little one, are you hiding something from your sister?" Hu Yue glared at Lin Feng. The Boundless Palace was a behemoth, but it wouldn't go so far as to attack Demon Night Island over a mid-rank emperor. After all, Demon Night Island was also an emperor-level force. But Lin Feng's words clearly indicated that the Boundless Palace wanted to capture him for some unusual reason.
"Sister Hu Yue, I entered the Boundless Emperor Palace, and I saw the Boundless Heavenly Emperor, as well as the current Boundless Palace Master. Moreover, the Boundless Palace Master may suspect that I obtained the Boundless Heavenly Emperor's array inheritance." Lin Feng spoke to Hu Yue, causing her beautiful eyes to blink several times as she stared at him. "My dear little one, this matter is indeed serious enough. In fact, did you obtain it?"
Lin Feng looked at Hu Yue and nodded slightly, making her freeze again.
"Leave. Leave Demon Night Island immediately. I'll send you off." Hu Yue was speechless. She hadn't expected this little rascal to stir up such a big matter. The Boundless Heavenly Emperor's array inheritance—it was hard to say whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"Sister, what about Demon Night Island?" Lin Feng hesitated. He was worried that this matter might implicate Demon Night Island.
"Don't worry. After you leave, we'll say you left on your own. None of us know anything. Even if the Boundless Palace sends people, they can't do anything. Demon Night Island is an emperor-level force; the Boundless Palace wouldn't dare to act rashly. Besides, our Demon Night Lord is no ordinary demon beast."
Hu Yue took Lin Feng's hand, ready to lead him away from Demon Night Island. Staying here was very dangerous for Lin Feng. If a Boundless Palace great emperor came searching and found Lin Feng himself, Demon Night Island wouldn't be able to protect him. Lin Feng's choice was correct—if he left, Demon Night Island would be safer.
"Is there such a rush? I haven't even said goodbye to Uncle Shen Yu and the others." Lin Feng smiled wryly. He had originally planned to stay for a few days, since the Boundless Palace was so far away. Even if news reached them, it would take time for their experts to arrive.
"What's there to say goodbye about? Leave it all to me." Hu Yue pulled Lin Feng into the air, looking at the stunned Li Hen and Prajna. Smiling seductively, she said, "You two little ones wait here for me to return."
"Lin Feng..." The two looked at Lin Feng beside Hu Yue, speechless. They had just reunited as fellow disciples, and now they were about to separate again.
"Prajna, Li Hen, train hard together. In the future, rebuild the Heavenly Terrace in the Great World. Ruoxie—he's training on Sword Mountain." Lin Feng spoke to them hastily as Hu Yue carried him into the air.
"We will." Prajna and Li Hen watched Lin Feng's rising figure, murmuring softly. They would definitely train hard. The matter of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region wasn't over yet. The Heavenly Terrace would stand tall in the Great World—that was their determination.
Hu Yue and Lin Feng descended onto a mountain range where Mu Yi was waiting.
"Senior Mu Yi, I'm planning to leave Demon Night Island. Will you come with me, or stay here for a while?" Lin Feng asked Mu Yi. Mu Yi's expression froze. Leaving so soon?
"Senior Mu Yi, you'd better come with me. Back at the Qi Tian Fortress breach, Qi Yunlei said the Boundless Palace wanted to find me. It might have been the green-robed great emperor who appeared then, searching for those of us who entered the emperor palace cave dwelling to train. If the Boundless Palace really sends people, it won't be safe for us to stay on Demon Night Island. That's why Sister Hu Yue wants me to leave immediately."
Lin Feng naturally wouldn't tell Mu Yi everything. Mu Yi was different from Hu Yue. He had known Hu Yue for five years, and he knew exactly how she treated him. Moreover, Hu Yue was a demon beast with little interest in arrays. Although Mu Yi was also good to him and had shown him kindness, the temptation of the Boundless Heavenly Emperor's inheritance was too great—especially for someone who loved the array dao. So it was better to keep some secrets. Revealing everything might instead affect their relationship.
"The Boundless Palace is involved?" Mu Yi's expression froze. Then he said, "Alright, I'll leave with you. At least we'll have company."
"Let's go." Her long robe fluttering in the void, Hu Yue wrapped Lin Feng's body and soared into the air, heading toward the outskirts of Demon Night Island without alerting too many people.
Several hours later, Hu Yue had taken Lin Feng beyond the myriad islands surrounding Demon Night Island, crossing the vast sea to reach land. Hu Yue's body descended onto a mountain range.
"Little brother Lin, I'll see you off here. Walk your own path well from now on. If you encounter danger, remember to tell me." Hu Yue smiled at Lin Feng. Lin Feng nodded slightly, looking at her enchanting eyes. "Sister Hu Yue, take care."
"I'll go first, or I'll miss you too much, you little rascal. Remember to come back and see your sister." Hu Yue's figure trembled slightly, her red robe receding into the distance, gradually becoming blurry.
"I will." Lin Feng murmured softly.
"Lin Feng, have you thought about where to go?" Mu Yi asked Lin Feng.
Lin Feng shook his head. "I came from a small world. I'm not very familiar with the Great World, and the places I've traveled are limited. Next, I'll wander and train outside, striving to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm as soon as possible. But before that, I need to advance from the Eighth Layer of the Venerable Martial Realm."
"That's good. Let's leave this area first, then find a place for you to train for a while and break through the bottleneck of the Eighth Layer of Venerable Martial." Mu Yi could also see that Lin Feng was on the verge of a breakthrough and needed to take the next step.
"After you break through to the Ninth Layer of Venerable Martial, I'll take you to a place. It might suit you for a while." Mu Yi smiled. Throughout history, martial cultivators on the path to strength had to undergo countless trials and hardships, walking through many lands. But to move forward, one could never stay in one place forever.
