# Chapter 2154: Secretly Crossing the Chencang
Within the residence where Lin Feng was staying at the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan, in a secluded room, a mass of aura slowly dissipated. Then, a figure appeared there. This figure was also Lin Feng. If Lei Dongtian saw him, he would surely be greatly shocked.
This Lin Feng was wrapped in a gale, and with a flicker of his silhouette, he rushed straight out of his residence, heading toward the direction of Yang Xiao's residence.
Because this was the guest reception area of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan, there were no guards at all. The people here had absolute autonomy, as long as they did not step into certain forbidden areas of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan.
At this moment, Yang Xiao was resting with his eyes closed. Having been disturbed by Lin Feng for most of the previous day, he was in a rather bad mood. Now that Lin Feng had left, he felt as if a stone had been lifted from his heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief. However, at that moment, Yang Xiao's eardrums twitched slightly, and his gaze suddenly turned. Seeing a mass of gale rolling in, he coldly shouted, "Who?"
The gale stopped, revealing a figure. Seeing this figure, Yang Xiao's pupils contracted slightly, and he said coldly, "You haven't left yet?"
"No rush. Brother Yang Xiao is still at the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan, so why should I be in a hurry to leave?" Lin Feng said with a smile. On his body, waves of peculiar energy fluctuations rippled. At the same time, a talisman appeared in Lin Feng's hand.
Looking at the smile on Lin Feng's lips, Yang Xiao felt a chill and said, "Lin Feng, this is the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan. If you make a move against me, I, Yang Xiao, will not be lenient either."
"Don't worry, I wouldn't kill you, Yang Xiao, here at the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan. If I did, the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan wouldn't let me off either," Lin Feng said with a smile, causing Yang Xiao to snort coldly. Everyone understood this point. But just as he relaxed for a moment, Lin Feng's body vanished from its spot, and in the next instant, a figure descended before him. Yang Xiao's pupils contracted, and his aura suddenly erupted wildly. However, Lin Feng did not attack at all. Instead, an invisible aura directly surged toward him, and in an instant, Yang Xiao's body disappeared, as if swallowed by the rolling mass of energy.
"If the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan is unkind, why should I abide by their rules?" Lin Feng said coldly. The mass of energy slowly seeped into Lin Feng's body and then vanished. Yang Xiao had been imprisoned within his Martial Soul World. Given the current solidity of his Martial Emperor World, Yang Xiao would surely be unable to break free. This fellow possessed a special power—the ability to deprive memories. If refined into a Demon Puppet, it would be of considerable help to him.
Thus, from beginning to end, Lin Feng had never intended to let Yang Xiao go. It was only a matter of timing.
Yesterday, when Lei Dongtian had been eager to send him to the Four Great Forces, Lin Feng had sensed something was off. He had killed Wang Jie, and the Dan King Clan would surely not let it go. If they truly wanted to send him to the Four Great Forces, they should have tried to conceal his whereabouts as much as possible, rather than rushing to send him off the very next day.
When Lin Feng saw Lei Dongtian and his group appear outside his residence in the morning, he became even more certain that something was wrong. Although the escorts were quite powerful, they would be utterly insufficient if the Dan King Clan made a move. If the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan wanted to ensure his safety, they should either send a stronger formation directly or secretly cross the Chencang, splitting into multiple routes to quietly send him away.
Since the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan had reached an agreement with the Dan King Clan, they naturally wouldn't think so carefully. Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan had never considered Lin Feng's External Incarnation.
At this moment, Lin Feng's true body stepped outside, transforming into a gale and heading straight out of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan. Although the clan had hidden sentries, they would only watch those entering the clan from outside, not those leaving. This was true not only for the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan but for any clan. Who would monitor the experts leaving their own clan?
In such a large clan, people traveled by wind every day, their figures blurring as they went out. The hidden sentries would not intercept those leaving. Therefore, Lin Feng had no trouble leaving the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan. Shortly after leaving, he changed his face and began to distance himself from the area. Since even an ancient force like the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan could not be trusted, he would have to rely on himself.
Lin Feng's escape began the moment he saw the Dan King Clan. At that point, he was certain that the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan had betrayed him. So, he used the shortest possible time to leave the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan.
In the space where his External Incarnation was located, the people of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan were surrounded. The aura of a terrifying expert descended upon Lin Feng, and a cold voice said, "The Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan cannot protect you."
Lin Feng smiled, a strange smile. This was, of course, not an ordinary clone. An ordinary clone would be easily discovered. This was an External Incarnation with combat power, its aura completely indistinguishable from Lin Feng's true body. The only difference was that this body was formed from condensed soul essence.
"You can still smile?" Wang Shi's body blazed with terrifying flames, causing the entire void to ignite.
"I laugh at you all. Since the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan agreed to escort me to Refining Gold Mountain, how could they go back on their word? What you intercepted is merely one of my External Incarnations. Look carefully," Lin Feng said with a smile. Then, his body transformed into a stream of energy, drifting through the void. After a moment, it recondensed into a complete form, smiling at the people of the Dan King Clan.
This caused the pupils of the crowd to contract sharply. The leading expert of the Dan King Clan was still Wang Shi's grandfather. His expression was extremely ugly. With his cultivation level, when Lin Feng's External Incarnation turned into soul force, he could naturally discern it. That was indeed a body formed from condensed soul force, not a real physical body.
Yet, an External Incarnation formed from soul force could be so real. This kind of divine ability was terrifying.
The people of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan were also stunned. Lin Feng's words left them unable to refute. Besides, could they refute? Would they publicly admit that they had sold Lin Feng to the Dan King Clan?
The cold eyes of the Dan King Clan swept over the people of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan. The leading expert transmitted his voice, saying, "Is this how you do things?"
"We don't know how this happened either. He actually has an External Incarnation. I think we, like you, may have been deceived. He might have sensed something was wrong," the expert of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan replied, also through voice transmission. For a moment, both the Dan King Clan and the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan were at a loss.
Should they take the External Incarnation or not?
And how should the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan present themselves?
It was an awkward situation. The people of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan had clearly not anticipated this. Lei Dongtian's expression stiffened, and he thought to himself, "That fellow has already seen through it. That's why he was waiting outside the residence for me to enter. His true body should still be inside the residence. And even so, this External Incarnation is still stalling for time outside, deliberately making us take a detour."
None of these people were fools. They were all shrewd individuals. They quickly figured out what had happened. They had simply underestimated Lin Feng, or rather, they had not considered the possibility of an External Incarnation. This was their carelessness.
"Have someone watch the entrances to the Four Great Forces. If Lin Feng wants to escape, he will inevitably try to enter one of them. Meanwhile, we will return to the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan to see if we can still catch him. We will guard this External Incarnation," the people of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan quickly devised a plan and transmitted it to the experts of the Dan King Clan. They had clearly realized that this External Incarnation was not an ordinary clone and was related to Lin Feng's soul force. Lin Feng would not easily abandon it.
"Very well. Your true body had better not fall into my hands," Wang Shi's grandfather said coldly. Then, a terrifying Dao Might surged into Lin Feng's body. Lin Feng felt a mass of flame directly strike his body, causing him to grunt and his complexion to turn pale. However, his eyes, fixed on the opponent, still held a chilling coldness. As long as he entered the Four Great Forces, he would obtain the Immortality Token. In Divine Radiance City, no one would dare to touch him. Then, he would make these people regret their actions.
"Let's go." The people of the Dan King Clan waved their hands. Killing one of Lin Feng's External Incarnations was useless. They needed the true body.
"Sigh..." The people of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan took a deep breath. Lei Dongtian descended beside Lin Feng and said with a smile, "Brother Lin, your move was quite impressive. Even we were fooled. Otherwise, things would have been really bad this time. Let us escort you back to the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan."
Lin Feng looked at Lei Dongtian. The other party could still remain so composed, acting as if nothing had happened. Lin Feng secretly admired his perfect acting.
"If it weren't realistic enough, things would have gone wrong," Lin Feng said with a smile, his words carrying a hint of underlying meaning. Turning around, Lin Feng headed back toward the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan. Their intention was clearly not to let his External Incarnation escape their control. Since that was the case, what did it matter if he followed them back to the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan?
Once his true body entered one of the Four Great Families, he could openly come to the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan to reclaim his External Incarnation.
Lin Feng was certainly not foolish enough to directly charge into one of the Four Great Forces. Even if they would make an exception to accept him, he would not take that risk. By changing his identity and hiding among the crowd, someone would naturally send him in. As for his External Incarnation, it followed the crowd back to the Heavenly Demon Thunder Clan.
When Lei Dongtian returned with Lin Feng's External Incarnation, he discovered another strange thing: Yang Xiao had disappeared!
