# Chapter 1773: Ancestor Zhu Tian
On the celebration martial stage, Yun Qingyan and the others were together, their faces showing a faint trace of anxiety.
"How can you all be so at ease?" Yun Qingyan looked strangely at Hou Qinglin and Tian Chi. Were these two Lin Feng's fellow disciples or not?
"True monstrous geniuses don't die so easily. Lin Feng undoubtedly belongs to this category," Tian Chi said calmly. From the small world all the way here, the storms they had weathered were not something these people could understand. Since Lin Feng had gone, they believed nothing would happen to him.
However, the other side did not think so. Yu Wenhou's expression was calm, but his heart was slightly cold. He glanced into the distance and thought to himself, "The celebration is about to start. Feng Heisha and the others should be back by now."
Yu Wenhou certainly did not doubt whether Lin Feng could escape this calamity. Feng Heisha was a mid-rank Emperor level expert. Not to mention the gap in realm being like a chasm, on the Hidden King List, Lin Feng was merely on the Human List, while Feng Heisha ranked over sixtieth on the Earth List of the Hidden King List. With such a figure, plus five experts from the Hidden King List's Human List, how could Lin Feng possibly keep his life with such a lineup?
Now, all that remained was to wait for Feng Heisha and the others to return and participate in the celebration.
"Buzz!" Two figures stepped through the air. Yu Wenhou raised his gaze and saw Ji Wuyou and Yu Wenjing walking together like a perfect match. A faint smile appeared in his eyes. If Ji Wuyou could become Yu Wenjing's lover, and the Ji and Yu families were joined by marriage, then he, Yu Wenhou, would naturally have contributed to the matter.
The Ji family was now at its peak, and with the emergence of Ji Shang, who had the potential to become a king, they were even more formidable, earning the admiration of countless people. Even Ji Wuyou himself possessed astonishing potential. Having entered the War King Academy and firmly holding the top spot on the Hidden King List's Human List, many said he might follow his elder brother's path, stirring up the Hidden King List and ultimately breaking into the Heavenly King-Sealing List.
Ji Wuyou's figure rolled forward as he stopped in midair. His gaze did not fall on Yu Wenhou but instead went directly to the Heavenly Terrace group. His eyes were sharp as he said coldly, "Where is Lin Feng?"
"Hmph, you did something despicable yourself, yet you pretend not to know," Tantai snorted coldly, causing Ji Wuyou's brow to furrow slightly. "What do you mean by that?"
"Ji Wuyou, Princess." At this moment, Yu Wenhou spoke. Ji Wuyou coldly swept his gaze over Tantai and the others, then flickered and descended beside Yu Wenhou, asking, "What's going on?"
"In the battle that day, Lin Feng humiliated Puyang and also killed Shang Yu. Now Puyang and Shang Yu are both preparing for revenge. I'm afraid Lin Feng won't be able to attend this celebration alive," Yu Wenhou said calmly, causing Ji Wuyou's brow to furrow slightly. Then he snorted disdainfully. To deal with mere Lin Feng, they had to resort to such means. No wonder Lin Feng had trampled on them on the battle platform that day.
"Forget it. An insignificant person—if he dies, he dies. Having him around is just an eyesore," Yu Wenjing said indifferently, causing Yun Qingyan and the others to show displeasure. Yun Qingyan sneered and said, "A defeated person speaks so arrogantly. Where do you get the nerve?"
"Shameless. You think that by clinging to a man, you've regained your capital for pride," Tantai also mocked. Although Yu Wenjing was indeed very capable herself, Tantai simply could not stand her air of superiority. That day on the Hidden King List battle platform, she had clearly been defeated by Hou Qinglin, yet now she was strutting around again.
Yu Wenjing's pupils contracted, and her expression turned cold. "Heavenly Terrace, right? Remember this—I will wipe you all out clean."
"Just you?" Yun Qingyan said disdainfully.
"Yun Qingyan, your parents are also elders of the War King Academy. I've always given you some face, but don't think you're all that. If I don't show you respect, what can you do? Even your parents are just 'elders.' There are many people above the rank of elder in the War King Academy," Ji Wuyou's voice carried a hint of threat, causing Yun Qingyan's expression to turn extremely unpleasant. How arrogant! He was even dragging her parents into this.
"You are merely a student of the academy, yet you dare to speak disrespectfully of an elder. Do you really think that just because you have an elder brother, you can do whatever you want?"
"So what if I'm disrespectful?" Ji Wuyou snorted coldly. "Also, my brother is my brother, and I am me. I don't need to rely on him to make a name for myself."
"Hmph," Yun Qingyan sneered. Just then, a commotion arose from the crowd. In the distant void, figures drifted over, drawing murmurs of discussion.
"The academy's elders have arrived—dozens of them." The crowd gazed at those figures, whispering among themselves. "In our War King Academy, only those at the Heavenly Emperor level can be granted the rank of elder, and they must also have contributed to the academy. These people are all Heavenly Emperor-level experts. The four academies are full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The students who leave all become outstanding figures in their own right, and the academy's experts are terrifying. No wonder people say that the most fearsome major powers in the Holy City Central Continent are not any royal palace or ancient saint clan, but the four academies."
"My parents are here." Yun Qingyan saw her parents and murmured softly. Those elders arrived one by one in front of the central martial stage, sitting on the left and right void steps, imposing and majestic.
"Elders." Many participants in the celebration respectfully addressed them. Most of them were seeing the academy's elders for the first time. Even if these elders occasionally walked around the academy on ordinary days, they would not recognize them.
In the distance, clouds rolled, causing the crowd to look up, their gazes slightly shaken. It seemed that the academy's old antiques were about to appear. These were true great powerhouses, Saint Emperor-level experts. Even in an ancient saint clan, they would be clan leaders. If they left the academy, they could establish an ancient saint clan of their own. Yet they had no such ambition.
Suddenly, three figures appeared at the head seats of the void steps, as if they had materialized out of thin air.
"The three old antiques who appeared at this decade's celebration are different from the last ones. Just how many terrifying figures does the War King Academy have?" Some who had attended the previous decade's celebration thought to themselves.
"It's Ancestor Zhu Tian. He actually came out." Yun Qingyan looked at the old man in the center, who was imposing and dignified. She had seen this old antique once before. Her parents had told her that this man was Ancestor Zhu Tian, a figure who had been enfeoffed as a king in the War King Academy in the past. He was extremely formidable, wielding the Zhu Tian Brush, capable of severing heaven and earth, cleaving open worlds, and possessing boundless power.
"Why hasn't Lin Feng come yet? This is an ancestor-level figure. If Lin Feng could gain his favor, his future would be immeasurable," Yun Qingyan thought to herself. At this moment, her parents both looked toward her and nodded slightly. If Lin Feng could show himself, they could help introduce him. Such an opportunity was rare, not necessarily appearing even once in a decade.
At this moment, Ji Wuyou also looked at the man in the center, his eyes sharp. He said to Yu Wenjing, "This is Ancestor Zhu Tian. I once followed my brother into the Immortal Mountain and saw him. He should recognize me. I'll help introduce you as well. Even if he has no interest in taking disciples, the two old antiques beside him are also extraordinary."
"Alright." Yu Wenjing nodded slightly, a look of anticipation flashing in her eyes. If she could gain the favor of an ancestor, she could take many detours on the path of martial growth.
"The celebration is about to begin." Everyone spoke one after another. The War King Academy's once-a-decade celebration would re-establish the Heavenly King-Sealing List and also take stock of the new students who had entered the academy over the past ten years. These people would have the opportunity to show themselves.
"Why haven't they returned yet?" At this moment, Yu Wenhou frowned, looking into the distance. Dealing with mere Lin Feng had taken Feng Heisha and the others this long? They still hadn't managed to kill him? In his view, Feng Heisha was just a precaution. Puyang Lengxia and the others were all experts on the Hidden King List's Human List. With five of them working together, they should have been able to kill Lin Feng already.
Just then, in the distance, two figures stepped through the void. Lin Feng's figure drifted, elegant and extraordinary. Seeing him, Yu Wenhou's pupils suddenly contracted, and a sharp, cold light flashed in his calm eyes.
"How is this possible? How could he come back alive, and even bring Qin Wu back alive?" Yu Wenhou's brow furrowed deeply. He looked behind Lin Feng, but no one appeared. Feng Heisha, Puyang, Lengxia—none of them showed up. This made Yu Wenhou feel it was hard to believe. Where were those who had gone to kill Lin Feng?
"Lin Feng." At this moment, Qing Feng also saw Lin Feng's return and called out, causing Yun Qingyan and the others to turn their gazes toward the distance. Lin Feng had returned.
"This guy really is fine, and he even brought Qin Wu along," Yun Qingyan said with some surprise. The other side had set a trap, clearly intending to kill Lin Feng. But Lin Feng had returned unscathed, and had even brought Qin Wu back.
