# Chapter 2096: Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion
Lin Feng and the Heavenly Terrace group came out of the wine tavern. They exchanged the information each had gathered, and the results were almost identical. There was no reason for the passersby to deceive them, and besides, these matters were common knowledge throughout Green Mountain City—they simply hadn't known about them.
The final conclusion, summarized simply, was this: The Jing Clan had deceived Jing Xiaoyue, imprisoning Mu Chen, yet claiming that Mu Chen would participate in the Array Ore dispute. They gave it the nice name of giving Mu Chen a chance, but in reality, they had already removed him from the situation. The place where they imprisoned heavy criminals had no way out once entered.
"A bunch of bastards. What should we do?" Tantai Xin said indignantly, a cold light flashing in her eyes, her aura violent. Although she had never met Mu Chen, she could tell from the respect her brothers had for him what his status was in their hearts. Like Yu Emperor, Mu Chen was the founder of Heavenly Terrace, and they were all his juniors.
"Second Senior Brother, you all know about the four great clans, right?" Lin Feng said to the group.
"Naturally. The Jing Clan imprisoned Big Senior Brother. The Yu Clan, whose strength is closest to the Jing Clan, will likely have the most intense struggle. The other two clans are actually alliances of several families—the Luo Clan and the Hong Clan. Lin Feng, do you have any ideas?" Hou Qinglin said to Lin Feng.
"Second Senior Brother, take a few people to the Luo Clan. Third Senior Brother, take a few people to the Hong Clan. Tantai and I will go to the Jing Clan and become their external reinforcement, guarding their array mines for them. Additionally, if possible, Second Senior Brother, you'd better not make a move. Take Ruoxie with you. After securing the array mines, head to the Jing Clan's array mines and put pressure on them."
Lin Feng spoke slowly, causing everyone's expressions to freeze. Ruoxie spoke up: "If we pressure the Jing Clan like this, might it backfire? How can we save Big Senior Brother?"
"According to the information we received, aside from the Jing Clan, the other three families are all on the defensive. They're only thinking about how to hold their own array mines. If we can help them hold their ground, they'll surely be grateful. Then, when we seize the Jing Clan's mine veins, if the Jing Clan releases the person, we'll stop. The three families won't have any objections either. If they don't release him, we'll take the mines. At that point, the Jing Clan will certainly be unwilling to accept it. But since there's an agreement in place, if the Jing Clan breaks the contract, they'll have to start a war with the three families. Then we can plan to rescue him, but we'll have to use more forceful methods."
Lin Feng spoke calmly.
"If we help the Jing Clan take all the array mines in Green Mountain City, will they release Big Senior Brother?" Banruo asked.
"No. The Jing Clan already regards the four array mines as things in their pocket. At the very least, they'll take the Yu Clan's mine vein. Helping them would just be adding icing on the cake. Given the Jing Clan's power, they certainly won't feel grateful. And if we expose their true face, they'll be even less likely to release him. That path won't work. Also, although we've temporarily assigned people, we'll have to decide on the specific allocation based on the actual situation at the time." Lin Feng spoke. Everyone nodded in agreement with his words.
The Jing Clan was now riding high, showing signs of dominating Green Mountain City. If you helped them, they would think you were just currying favor. As the saying goes, sending charcoal in the snow is true kindness; adding flowers to brocade goes unnoticed by anyone.
"Since that's the case, let's split up now. Keep in touch through communication jade slips at all times." Hou Qinglin said.
"Alright."
Everyone divided their personnel and headed in different directions. Lin Feng, along with Tantai, once again headed toward the Yu Clan. After coming out earlier, he thought he wouldn't be going back to the Yu Clan, but he didn't expect to return so soon.
"Tantai, what's your combat strength like now?" On the road, Lin Feng asked Tantai. In recent years, he had been busy and hadn't had much exchange with his fellow disciples. Several years had passed, and their combat strength was naturally far beyond what it had been. Lin Feng needed to reassess.
"Hehe." Tantai grinned at Lin Feng's question, seeming exceptionally confident. He said, "The Heavenly Derivation Scripture is truly powerful. I thought I was dull-witted, but unexpectedly, using the Heavenly Derivation Scripture, I inadvertently derived a new way to stimulate my own power, allowing every particle of energy within me to coalesce more perfectly and erupt completely, reaching an astonishing level. Also, you already know the Dao I've comprehended—the Dao of Power. I might be lacking in speed, but in combat strength, there's absolutely no problem."
Tantai's voice carried strong confidence. He had matured late. After meeting Lin Feng and the others, spending every day with a group of prodigies, he had continuously stimulated his own potential. Because he felt his own inadequacy, he had ushered in an explosive period of strength, steadily climbing the path of martial arts.
Lin Feng nodded slightly. He had known for a long time that Tantai had comprehended the Dao of Power. With his formidable attack power combined with the Dao of Power, his offensive strength was definitely terrifying. Lin Feng didn't doubt that. Moreover, Lin Feng had also taught his brothers the Desolate Ancient Heavenly Saint Technique. Although it wasn't personally taught by a saint, as long as they could unleash even a portion of its power, it would be extraordinary.
After returning to the Yu Clan, Lin Feng went straight to find Yu. Seeing Tantai, Yu felt somewhat surprised. It seemed Lin Feng had crossed the void tunnel with her and arrived here directly, so how had he already made a friend?
"Lin Feng, he is?"
"My junior brother. My teacher doesn't only have me as a disciple." Lin Feng smiled, continuing to bring up the fabricated teacher. Yu's beautiful eyes flickered as she said, "So, your teacher has also arrived?"
"Yes, he's already in Shen Xiao Continent. If he wants to see me, he'll come find me." Lin Feng said casually.
"Brother Lin Feng, when your teacher arrives, you must introduce him to us." At this moment, Yu Kun walked over and said heartily to Lin Feng.
"Of course." Lin Feng's gaze fell on Yu Kun. He saw that there were quite a few people around him, including some at the Emperor Realm. Their ages and talents varied. Even at the same Emperor Realm, there could be a significant age difference.
"So this is the disciple of that Array Dao Grandmaster?" At this moment, someone looked at Lin Feng and said indifferently.
"Yes. Even I feel somewhat ashamed when I see the array talismans his teacher inscribed." Yu Kun laughed.
"With such a powerful teacher, Lin Feng's Array Dao attainments should also be very impressive, right?" Someone said to Lin Feng with a smile.
Tantai stood beside Lin Feng in silence. He was no longer the Tantai of old. Although he was still somewhat hot-tempered, he had restrained himself. He remained silent now, but sneered inwardly. Lin Feng's Array Dao attainments were far more than just impressive. These fellows actually dared to discuss Array Dao in front of Lin Feng.
"Not bad." Lin Feng didn't mind and smiled casually.
"Yes, a young hero. So young and already at the High-rank Emperor Realm. Your master is quite good." One person said with a smile.
"I wonder how your Array Dao compares to Yu Lin's?" Someone said with a faint smile.
"Compare to Yu Lin?" Many people revealed faint smiles, their meaning unspoken.
"Let's go. He'll be here soon."
"Yes. Yu'er, you accompany Lin Feng first." Yu Kun nodded slightly to Lin Feng, then the group walked outside.
"Yu, let's go welcome him too." At this moment, a young man behind Yu walked up to her and said. Yu looked at Lin Feng, who nodded slightly: "Don't worry about me."
"It's actually nothing much. It's just that Yu Lin is returning today. Lin Feng, why don't you come along and take a look?" Yu smiled at Lin Feng, which surprised him a bit. It seemed Yu Lin held a very high status in the Yu Clan, to the point where some Emperor Realm figures would personally welcome him.
They walked outside, and Yu explained to Lin Feng: "Yu Lin is the number one among the younger generation of our Yu Clan in both strength and Array Dao. His talent is very strong, and he cultivates at the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion. If our Yu Clan hadn't encountered some difficulties, we wouldn't have called Yu Lin back."
"Number one in both Array Dao and strength. No wonder the Yu Clan values him so much." Lin Feng thought to himself.
"Lin Feng, you're from Qing Xiao Continent, so you probably haven't heard of the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion. The Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion is a place in Shen Xiao Continent that has produced Array Craftsmen. The status of an Array Craftsman is like that of an ancient martial saint—lofty and exalted. Anyone who cultivates at the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion needs not only powerful martial talent but also impressive Array Dao talent."
Yu explained to Lin Feng, making him think that the Shen Xiao Continent truly deserved to be called the Central Continent. There were indeed more extraordinary places, including this Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion and the concept of Array Craftsmen.
"Yu Lin's Array Dao attainments are already close to the Array Dao Grandmaster level. Our Yu Clan encountered some difficulties this time, so we called Yu Lin back from the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion. Moreover, Yu Lin will also bring a friend of his to help—also an expert from the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion. This way, our Yu Clan shouldn't be threatened." Yu said in a low voice. Lin Feng understood she was referring to the array mine dispute between the Jing Clan and the three families. Hearing Yu's words, Lin Feng could fully understand why Yu Kun and the others personally came to welcome him.
Both Yu Lin and his fellow disciple from the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion were no ordinary people.
However, since the Jing Clan was the number one family in Green Mountain City and was said to surpass the Yu Clan in the same generation, they should also have figures like Yu Lin, perhaps even stronger.
The Shen Xiao Continent was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The Xiao Gathering would surely be a competition of heroes, gathering the geniuses of Xiao.
"Yu Lin has arrived." At this moment, the young man beside Yu spoke, his gaze looking into the distance. In the sky above, two figures stood atop a massive demonic beast. The beast was a terrifying Qilin Rhinoceros, a demonic rhinoceros with Qilin bloodline. At a glance, it appeared ferocious and terrifying, giving off a powerful sense of strength. Both figures had extraordinary bearing. It was Yu Lin and his fellow disciple from the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion who had arrived!
