Chapter 2267: The Cang Clan Jumps Out
Lin Feng looked at Xi Huang, his expression extremely calm. He knew that Xi Huang had once sacrificed her life for the sake of powerful strength, sealing herself with the Three Lives Scripture. This woman had a heart as firm as a rock, utterly unshakable. Making her willingly disband the Guang Han Palace was simply impossible.
A gust of wind stirred, and figures could be seen strolling over from afar. These people stood there, each exuding a surging oppressive force.
"Tian Yan Holy Clan?" Xi Huang's expression tightened slightly. Her gaze fell on Yan Di, and her beautiful eyes narrowed briefly before she said, "Do you think that with these remnants of forces, you can bring down the Guang Han Palace?"
"The Guang Han Palace should not exist in the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital." At that moment, the voice of the Demon Realm's leader rang out as a group of terrifying ancient demons descended.
"People of the Demon Realm, aren't you afraid I'll settle accounts with you afterward?" Xi Huang's voice was icy cold.
"I have already disbanded the Demon Realm today. After today, the heavens and earth will be my carefree domain," the Demon Realm's leader said indifferently. Xi Huang's beautiful eyes flickered with a trace of gravity.
In the distance, furious winds rolled as figures in black robes appeared, their demonic aura striking. All of them were shrouded in black robes, all powerful ancient demons. Some demon beasts at the Heavenly Demon Emperor realm exuded an aura so terrifying that it seemed no one at the Heavenly Emperor level could contend with them.
"What a formidable lineup. After Lin Feng secured first place in the Nine Heavens Assembly, he was able to rally these three forces into an army and descend upon the Guang Han Palace."
"The Guang Han Palace is facing unprecedented pressure."
Xi Huang fell silent at that moment. The Guang Han Fairies also stared at Lin Feng, especially Yi Renlei. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on him, as if she could see the entanglement on the vast snowy mountains of the past, the unruly youth steadily climbing toward his aspirations. In just over twenty years, he had gone from a state of despair to having his army at the gates of the Guang Han Palace. This transformation was too terrifying.
Even the despair in Lin Feng's eyes from back then was still vivid in her mind. Yet now, in those eyes, there was only calmness and confidence.
"Go kill him." Xi Huang spat out a cold command. Instantly, several Guang Han Fairies behind her drifted forward, heading toward Lin Feng. They had all reached the Emperor realm, cultivating various terrifying ancient scriptures and divine abilities, comprehending their own Dao. Their auras were immensely powerful. In an instant, countless Daos descended upon Lin Feng, rampaging through his body. At the same time, those graceful figures danced beautifully in the void, unleashing lethal attacks aimed at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng watched these beautiful women calmly. The Dao might that surged into his body was instantly devoured clean by a terrifying force. The beautiful women seemed to sense this too; their eyes froze slightly. They felt as if within Lin Feng's body, there was a supreme power capable of destroying everything. Any Dao, any attack, would be annihilated, unable to linger.
"Scram!"
Suddenly, Lin Feng opened his mouth and let out a sharp roar. A terrifying might surged outward wildly, the sound waves bursting forth like a heavenly flood. An ancient, supreme power merged within them, shattering all attacks instantly while also damaging their internal organs and meridians, as if trying to destroy their delicate bodies.
This scene made everyone's heart tremble. Especially when they saw the Guang Han Fairies spitting blood from their mouths, they felt as if these fairies were the most fragile women. They almost couldn't help but want to strike at Lin Feng themselves.
Muffled groans rang out continuously. The fairies landed one by one on the lake's surface, their faces pale as paper, their hearts churning with shock. The might of a single roar was terrifying like this. This kind of strength was simply beyond their ability to contend with. If Lin Feng wanted to kill them, it would probably be effortless.
Xi Huang's beautiful eyes turned cold. She too realized that Lin Feng had completely changed. He was now terrifyingly powerful, no longer the weak youth of the past who could be manipulated at will.
Moreover, Lin Feng's sound wave attack seemed to contain a special force, a destructive power that could annihilate any attack.
"Rumor has it that over a decade after the Nine Heavens Assembly, Chu Chunqiu is still training hard in the Tai Yao Realm, having already defeated several extremely powerful Heavenly Demon Emperors. Now, as the number one of the Nine Heavens Assembly, where does Lin Feng's combat strength stand?" The crowd thought to themselves. That single sound wave attack seemed to announce his return. He had not only brought an army but also possessed terrifying personal strength.
At that moment, from within the Guang Han Palace, waves of terrifying auras surged forth. Then, with a rumbling explosion, many figures shot directly into the void. These people all had extremely formidable auras. Especially Chu Feng, the most talented figure of the Chu Clan after the Chu King. If not for going mad from cultivation, he probably wouldn't have been controlled by the Guang Han Palace. But now, Chu Chunqiu would likely surpass Chu Feng sooner or later.
"The Guang Han Palace hides dragons and crouching tigers. None of these people are weak; at the very least, they are at the Heavenly Emperor realm."
"Many of them have sunk into the Guang Han Palace, unable to extricate themselves."
"Today, the Guang Han Palace seeks allies from the ancient capital. If anyone helps the Guang Han Palace repel this external threat, afterward, the palace will offer multiple ancient scriptures and arrange marriages between Guang Han Fairies and talented young men," Xi Huang said calmly. Many hearts were stirred. However, facing such power, aside from a few strong factions, ordinary people didn't even have the qualifications to interfere.
"This is a personal grudge between me, Lin Feng, and the Guang Han Palace. Anyone who helps the Guang Han Palace will be killed without mercy," Lin Feng said calmly. His killing intent was like an autumn wind, carrying a biting chill. Traces of terrifying aura leaked out into the void, as if a great battle was about to erupt at any moment.
At this time, around the Cold Moon Lake, many experts had gathered, including people from major powers. They had been notified by their juniors and rushed here, only to encounter an impending great battle. Although Xi Huang's words tempted them, most had no intention of getting involved. A clash between such forces, if it touched them, could be catastrophic. No one was willing to take that risk.
Yet there were still some who harbored thoughts, such as the Cang Clan.
Cang Ling was among the crowd. He stared at Lin Feng with an exceptionally cold gaze. He had once pursued Lin Feng and had several clashes with him. Given Lin Feng's terrifying growth rate, if he wasn't eliminated, even at the Heavenly Emperor realm, Cang Ling might not be able to suppress him. This guy could come for revenge at any time. Now, with Lin Feng clashing with the Guang Han Palace, if the Cang Clan joined the battle, they could play a decisive role. Then Lin Feng would surely die.
"Lin Feng secured first place in the Nine Heavens Assembly and joined the Fate Temple. Once he achieves great success in the future, he'll become a core figure of the Fate Temple. Crushing me would be as easy as saying a word. I have to kill him before he grows up. That way, even if Lin Feng dies during his training, the Fate Temple won't easily crush my Cang Clan. It would be Lin Feng's own incompetence."
Thinking this, Cang Ling looked at the Saint Emperor of the Cang Clan beside him and said, "Uncle, we have considerable enmity with Lin Feng. We can't let him grow. Take this opportunity to eliminate him."
"And if the Fate Temple's wrath descends, who will bear it?" the Saint Emperor asked.
"I'll kill Lin Feng. If the Fate Temple's wrath descends, I'll bear it alone," Cang Ling said coldly. Today, he had to uproot the problem; Lin Feng could not leave alive.
"Uncle, you know what kind of force the Guang Han Palace is. Cooperating with them will bring great benefits to our Cang Clan. On the other hand, Lin Feng absolutely cannot be kept," Cang Ling continued. "Make a decision."
The old man hesitated. Lin Feng, first place in the Nine Heavens Assembly, a member of the Fate Temple. Killing him would be a huge risk. But if they didn't kill him, and Lin Feng held a grudge over past grievances with the Cang Clan, once the Guang Han Palace fell, Lin Feng might turn against the Cang Clan, bringing disaster.
Just then, the old man stepped forward and said to Lin Feng, "Nephew Lin Feng."
"Hmm?" Lin Feng turned his gaze to the old man. Seeing Cang Ling behind him, he said coldly, "People of the Cang Clan?"
"Yes, Nephew Lin Feng. In the past, our Cang Clan had some grievances with you. Now, this old man offers an apology here. Can we let bygones be bygones?" the old man said. Lin Feng immediately understood what the other party was thinking. Glancing at the several experts behind him, Lin Feng sneered. Saying this under such circumstances, if he refused, what would the other party plan to do? A very malicious intention.
"Let's settle this after the Guang Han Palace matter is resolved," Lin Feng said calmly. The other party wanted him to compromise at this moment, which was essentially a veiled threat. He wouldn't agree.
The man shook his head and said, "I hope Nephew Lin Feng will make a decision quickly."
"Since you're forcing me to say no, I'll oblige you. The Cang Clan matter cannot be let go," Lin Feng said, his eyes sharp as lightning, shooting into the void. This caused a surge of powerful aura to erupt from the old man, who said, "In that case, the Cang Clan is willing to form an alliance with the Guang Han Palace."
"I had already begun to forget about the Cang Clan, at most remembering Cang Ling. I never expected an ancient saint clan like the Cang Clan to play tricks at a time like this. How laughable," Lin Feng said coldly. The Cang Clan expert's expression tightened. Lin Feng had already begun to forget the Cang Clan? Hearing this, it was entirely because they had forced Lin Feng into enmity with the Cang Clan. But as a man of his stature, since it had come to this, there was no turning back. Lin Feng must be killed.
"Cang Ling, he's yours. Make sure you kill him," the man transmitted to Cang Ling. Cang Ling nodded slightly, staring at Lin Feng with intense killing intent!
