Chapter 2099: Jing Xiaoyue
Even Yu Xin herself was stunned. The array attack just now had naturally not been released by her—it came from behind her.
"Until we meet again." Jing Ran let out a long cry. Stepping on array light, he walked through the void and directly teleported away. The people of the Yu Clan did not pursue him either. Instead, their figures flickered as they moved toward Yu Xin.
"Yu Xin, that array attack of yours just now seemed quite powerful." An old man looked at Yu Xin and spoke.
"En. Although I couldn't sense it clearly, being able to block Jing Ran's attack is indeed impressive. Yu Xin, we haven't properly nurtured you all these years. We didn't expect you to train so diligently. From now on, we'll give you more resources." Another person chimed in. Yu Xin opened her mouth, somewhat dazed. She herself still hadn't figured out what had happened.
"But Jing Ran's strength is indeed formidable. If the Jing Clan concentrates all their power against our Yu Clan, we probably won't have an easy time."
"Right. Jing Yan and Jing Ran are both members of the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion. Although we've invited Su Mu to our side, we still can't be sure whether the Jing Clan will have outside help. In this battle, the situation is urgent."
The people of the Yu Clan all wore grave expressions. They feared that the Jing Clan would gather powerful forces to attack their Yu Clan. If that happened, the Yu Clan would be in danger.
"Should we modify the rules? For the Array Ore dispute, make it a five-person battle. That way, we can tie down the Jing Clan more. If they really go all out against the Yu Clan, then we'll hold back some of our top forces and join with the other two families to seize the Jing Clan's Array Ore." Yu Lin boldly suggested, causing everyone's hearts to tremble slightly. This proposal was indeed very bold. They had only been guarding against the Jing Clan taking their Array Ore, but this could also be a good strategy.
"It seems we need to talk to the other two families. Our lips and teeth depend on each other. If our Array Ore is swallowed by the Jing Clan, they'll be next." The people of the Yu Clan discussed among themselves, then nodded one after another and flickered away from this place.
Yu Ye glanced at Lin Feng and Yu Xin, then also left. To the Yu Clan, Lin Feng seemed to have become an insignificant person. They only maintained a basic level of respect—if Lin Feng's master came, they could build a connection; if not, it didn't matter.
Yu Xin turned back and looked at Lin Feng, her eyes sparkling with brilliance. "Was that you just now?"
"En." Lin Feng smiled and nodded. There was no need for him to hide it. Moreover, if the Yu Clan couldn't defeat the Jing Clan's forces on their own, he would also lend a hand—at least, he would first push the Jing Clan into a desperate situation.
Seeing Lin Feng nod, Yu Xin blinked and smiled. "Your array dao is this powerful?"
"Didn't I say it was passable?" Lin Feng shrugged, not taking it too seriously.
"This is just passable? Why didn't you tell them? That way, they'd treat you with more respect." Yu Xin said with a smile.
"Why would I need them to be more respectful to me? That would just make me uncomfortable." Lin Feng smiled. "You don't need to reveal it for now. If the Yu Clan wants to give you more cultivation resources, just accept them. Even if they find out later, just say I told you to do it. They can't possibly ask for the resources back, can they?"
"You're really an interesting guy." Yu Xin laughed as she looked at Lin Feng. "But now, I finally believe that you truly have no opinion about Yu Ye and Su Mu. You never took them to heart at all."
Lin Feng smiled without speaking. "Let's head back too."
"En." Yu Xin nodded. The group walked out of the Array Ore mine. At this moment, outside the Yu Clan's Array Ore mine, a woman stood quietly, staring blankly at the mine.
This woman wore a simple white robe that moved with the gentle wind, giving her a simple, unadorned beauty with a touch of otherworldliness. Her face could definitely be called outstanding.
"This woman is quite extraordinary." Lin Feng glanced at her. Yu Xin's footsteps slowed slightly, and Lin Feng and Tantai both stopped with her.
"What's wrong?" Lin Feng asked her.
"Do you know who she is?" Yu Xin showed a hint of a smile and looked at Lin Feng.
"Is she very famous?" Lin Feng asked.
"She's been quite famous recently. And I've always admired her. Not only is her talent formidable, but she also dares to love and hate. She promised her clan that she would seize our Yu Clan's Array Ore for them. She came here earlier—I wonder what she's thinking about." Yu Xin said with a smile, causing Lin Feng's expression to stiffen. It seemed he had thought of someone. "Jing Xiaoyue?" Lin Feng asked.
"You know her too?" Yu Xin looked at Lin Feng in surprise. She knew that Lin Feng had come from the Qingxiao Continent and shouldn't know much about the matters of Qingshan City.
"As expected." A ripple stirred in Lin Feng's heart. Jing Xiaoyue—the woman his senior brother loved. Was it because of her that his senior brother was trapped in the Jing Clan's Black Tower? He wondered if she knew about this. If she did...
"Whoosh!" A gust of wind swept by. Lin Feng's figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood, startling Yu Xin. Then, she saw Lin Feng already appear in the distance, right in front of Jing Xiaoyue.
Jing Xiaoyue looked up, her gaze falling on Lin Feng. Her white robe fluttered, and her eyes were as calm as still water, as if devoid of any emotion.
"Jing Xiaoyue." Lin Feng spoke slowly, standing before her. At this moment, Jing Xiaoyue stepped forward and said, "Move aside."
Lin Feng showed a faint smile but didn't budge, standing there calmly.
"Boom!" Jing Xiaoyue stomped the ground, and the entire Array Ore vein trembled. The mine seemed to be shaken apart by this tremor, while ripples spread from beneath the earth.
"Be careful." Yu Xin called out to Lin Feng. Jing Xiaoyue was a genius of the Jing Clan, extremely powerful. Even if she wasn't as strong as Jing Yan, who had entered the Heavenly Array Mysterious Mansion, her strength wouldn't be far off.
"Don't worry. Lin Feng won't hurt her." Tantai whispered beside Yu Xin.
"Uh..." Yu Xin's beautiful eyes flickered. She looked up at the big guy beside her. Tantai squinted slightly as he looked ahead. How could he be worried about Lin Feng? What he just said was that Lin Feng wouldn't hurt Jing Xiaoyue!
Yu Xin felt like she might need to reassess that guy. His array dao had already been surprising—could his combat strength also be formidable?
Jing Xiaoyue stepped forward one step at a time. Instantly, a terrifying earth prison emerged from the ground, abruptly trapping Lin Feng inside. Then, Jing Xiaoyue stomped the earth again, and destructive power surged up from below.
Lin Feng leaped into the air, and countless spears burst forth from the ground, charging toward him.
Lin Feng stomped down hard, and terrifying law power rampaged, crushing the very sky. The spears shattered instantly. At the same time, Lin Feng charged forward and punched the prison, which collapsed and disintegrated in an instant.
Walking through the void, Lin Feng advanced step by step toward Jing Xiaoyue. At this moment, a terrifying force surged out of Jing Xiaoyue's body, and a fearsome array light interwove, seemingly merging with that power.
"Heavenly River Severing Art." Yu Xin's expression tightened. Then, she saw Jing Xiaoyue also walk toward Lin Feng. The two drew closer, and the terrifying power was fully unleashed. Jing Xiaoyue's hand swept across, and the void seemed to be severed by a heavenly river. The sky was split into two halves, with the heavenly river in the middle.
On Lin Feng's body, sacred spirit swords condensed into being. Sword intent swept across heaven and earth, terrifying to the extreme. Suddenly, they all slashed out. A crackling sound rolled forth, and the heavenly river was cut into segments, collapsing into nothingness. Lin Feng formed a sword seal with his hand, his breath surging endlessly. Supreme sword might pulsed, as if it could pierce the heavens.
A huge wave surged in Yu Xin's heart. So powerful! Lin Feng's combat strength was terrifying. She wondered if he could defeat Yu Lin. Perhaps Lin Feng's combat strength could truly rival the strongest genius of her Yu Clan.
"Who are you?" Jing Xiaoyue stared at Lin Feng. She, of course, could also sense Lin Feng's strength.
"You want to seize the Yu Clan's Array Ore?" Lin Feng asked Jing Xiaoyue.
Jing Xiaoyue frowned slightly. "Yes. I must."
"Mu Chen. He won't show up at all. The Jing Clan might not even need you." Lin Feng said calmly, causing Jing Xiaoyue's frown to deepen. "Mu Chen will definitely appear. Even if he dies in battle, so what?"
"It seems you don't understand at all. Leave." Lin Feng said calmly, but he was quite pleased in his heart. Jing Xiaoyue didn't know. And she already had the resolve to die in battle.
Jing Xiaoyue stared at Lin Feng and asked, "Will you stop me?"
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded slightly. Of course, he would stop the Jing Clan.
Jing Xiaoyue's expression turned unpleasant. Lin Feng continued, "No matter who from the Jing Clan makes a move, they won't be able to seize the Yu Clan's Array Ore. Mu Chen won't appear either. You should leave."
"And if he does appear?" Jing Xiaoyue said coldly.
"If he appears, I'll help the Jing Clan seize the Array Ore." Lin Feng said calmly. "Go back and tell the Jing Clan: if he doesn't appear, not only will the Jing Clan fail to get the Yu Clan's Array Ore, they won't even be able to hold onto their own."
Jing Xiaoyue couldn't understand Lin Feng's meaning at all. She didn't know who Lin Feng was—or rather, she didn't know the relationship between Lin Feng and Mu Chen. Why would he help the Jing Clan seize the Array Ore if Mu Chen appeared, but seize the Jing Clan's Array Ore if he didn't?
Jing Xiaoyue didn't understand. Neither did Yu Xin!
