# Chapter 2374: Urgency
Nine Heavenly Execution Gates, the guardians growing increasingly powerful. Yet Lin Feng easily broke through six Heavenly Execution Gates. By the seventh Heavenly Execution Gate, the guardian was already a Half-step Saint. Two old men with bloodshot eyes coldly swept their gaze over Lin Feng, their bodies soaring into the air. As they waved their hands, terrifying blood-colored giant palms came crashing toward Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's pupils were pitch black, like bottomless whirlpools, incredibly terrifying.
"Enter." Lin Feng spat out a single word. Suddenly, the two men were pulled into a dark vortex, as if they would never see the light of day again, with only death enveloping them.
"Such a strong illusion environment." The two old men's expressions turned ugly. They hadn't expected this newcomer's illusion techniques to be so powerful, capable of affecting even them like this.
"Boom crack!" A terrifying giant palm slammed toward them, shattering the illusion. The two desperately resisted, but by the time they regained their senses, Lin Feng had already passed through the eighth Heavenly Execution Gate.
"Impressive!" The two old men watched Lin Feng step into the ninth Heavenly Execution Gate. Breaking through eight Heavenly Execution Gates in one go showed that his strength was indeed formidable.
"It looks like another powerful figure will enter the Heavenly Execution Gate. I hope this time, when we step into the Divine Tomb, we'll have good luck and encounter some ruins," another man said with a smile. Lin Feng was already clashing with the guardian of the ninth Heavenly Execution Gate. Though there was only one guardian at the ninth gate, he was extremely powerful. Although he was also a Half-step Saint, his combat strength was formidable, and his attacks were incredibly fierce. But facing Lin Feng, he still found himself stretched thin and soon lost. Lin Feng easily broke through all nine Heavenly Execution Gates.
"Not bad. Our Heavenly Execution Alliance has gained another Saint realm expert. What's your name?" The guardian of the ninth Heavenly Execution Gate called out to Lin Feng with a hearty laugh.
"Mu Feng," Lin Feng replied.
"Brother Mu Feng, your strength is remarkable. You must have come to our Heavenly Execution Alliance to enter the Divine Tomb, right?" the man said with a smile. The Heavenly Execution Alliance had always been established for the sole purpose of the forbidden Divine Tomb.
"Exactly. When do you plan to enter the Divine Tomb? How many experts are there this time?" Lin Feng asked.
"The Divine Tomb, like other forbidden grounds, is easy to enter but hard to leave alive. So we must be fully prepared. This time, as usual, the Heavenly Execution Alliance intends to form a powerful Saint realm allied force. We'll also bring along the alliance's records on the Divine Tomb before stepping inside. As for the experts entering, they will certainly not disappoint you."
"Could you introduce me to some of them?" Lin Feng asked.
"No rush. Let's first enter the Heavenly Execution Alliance and arrange a resting place for you. When the opportunity arises, I'll introduce you to some people," the man said. Then his figure flickered, and Lin Feng followed. They entered the Heavenly Execution Alliance, where he arranged a residence for Lin Feng, explained a few things, and then left alone.
Lin Feng sat cross-legged in the courtyard. A wisp of divine thought light emanated from between his brows, rolling toward the void. The powerful divine thought energy quickly reached the sky, as if weaving into a continuous palace. Everything in the Heavenly Execution Alliance below was laid out before his eyes.
Many people looked up at the sky and couldn't help but smile. Using divine thought to spy on others was generally considered unfriendly behavior. But this fellow was quite direct, sending his divine thought into the sky to observe the entire Heavenly Execution Alliance. Within the alliance, wisps of divine thought also shot toward the void, following Lin Feng's divine thought energy to spy on him in return.
Lin Feng didn't mind much. Soon, his gaze locked onto a certain courtyard. There, a group of people sat cross-legged, looking very relaxed. Their auras were all terrifying, and they wore flame-colored robes. They were most likely members of the Flame Temple.
"Who's so bold?" At that moment, one of them muttered, looking up at the void.
"Scram!" Another spat out a cold word. The terrifying sound waves seemed to move through the void, directly vibrating in Lin Feng's eardrums.
Lin Feng opened his eyes, withdrawing his divine thought. A sharp glint flashed in his gaze. These people must be from the Flame Temple. That meant Qiong Yu was among them as well. He thought of one of the younger men, whose aura was calm and who had been sitting quietly all along. He was most likely Qiong Yu.
At the Flame Temple's location, someone asked, "Who was that?"
"No idea. Some strange young man. His cultivation is very mysterious. Haven't seen him before. He must be a new member of the Heavenly Execution Alliance," someone replied.
"This fellow has quite the nerve. He just entered the Heavenly Execution Gate and dares to spy with his divine thought." The group laughed casually, not paying much attention to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng didn't act. Even if Qiong Yu was indeed among them, with so many powerful figures present, there was no way he could capture Qiong Yu. He needed to wait for the right opportunity.
In the following days, Lin Feng spread his divine thought into the sky every day, as if basking in the sunlight. This made many people curse him inwardly. But since Lin Feng didn't spy on private areas or disturb anyone's cultivation, no one actually targeted him. They were just a bit annoyed—this guy had actually developed a habit, doing this every day. Was he cultivating or something?
Time passed slowly. In the Heavenly Flame City, it was now exceptionally lively. Many experts had arrived—experts from the Fate Temple, from the Ancient Realm Clan, all had come. Of course, Lin Feng's incarnations were also there. His two incarnations had always been in the Fate Temple, cultivating, studying various records, and accompanying Meng Qing in her training. But now that Zhetian had been captured by the Flame Temple, Meng Qing was anxious. One of Lin Feng's incarnations had come to Heavenly Flame City. As long as he didn't fight with full force, he could fool the Flame Temple's eyes, making them think Lin Feng had arrived in Heavenly Flame City.
Both sides were acting simultaneously.
In a temporary palace in Heavenly Flame City, the Prophet was with Lin Feng, asking, "How are things on that side?"
"Still in the Heavenly Execution Alliance. No plans to enter the Divine Tomb yet."
"Good. Keep waiting for me there. If they plan to enter the Divine Tomb, find a way to delay them," the Prophet continued. Lin Feng nodded. He already knew that the Prophet was also an incarnation. Now, Lin Feng's true body was in the Heavenly Execution Alliance, and his incarnation was here. As for the Prophet, his incarnation was also here, while his true body was on his way to the Heavenly Execution Alliance.
Lin Feng had never known what the Prophet's true body was doing. Now, his true body was entering the world, which meant that the Demon Heaven was emerging.
"What should we do here?" Lin Feng nodded. He spread his divine thought every day to monitor the movements in the Heavenly Execution Alliance, worried that Qiong Yu and the others would enter the Divine Tomb, while also looking for an opportunity to strike. If he could wait until the Prophet arrived, that would be best.
"I've already informed the Flame Temple. We'll have a meeting tomorrow. They agreed. By that time, I should be able to reach the Blood Emperor City," the Prophet said calmly. A sharp glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. There was less than a day left.
On that day, Lin Feng didn't sleep. The morning sun rose into the sky. A voice came from outside: "Brother Mu Feng, come out."
Hearing the voice, Lin Feng opened his eyes. His figure flickered, and he appeared outside instantly. The visitor was the man who had guarded the ninth Heavenly Execution Gate. He smiled and said, "Brother Mu Feng, let's go. There's a meeting today to get to know each other. After that, we'll prepare to head to the Divine Tomb."
"Today?" Lin Feng's expression froze slightly. The timing was so tight. The Prophet would arrive at Blood Emperor City in less than half a day.
"Yes, let's go." The man smiled and led the way. Lin Feng had no choice but to follow. Even if he didn't go, he couldn't stop others from entering the Divine Tomb.
Before long, they arrived at a square. Dozens of people were gathered there, each with terrifying auras. When they saw Lin Feng, their expressions flickered. Someone laughed and said, "So it's this guy. Every day he sends his divine thought into the void. Who knows what he's up to."
"A new member of the Heavenly Execution Alliance who doesn't know the rules. Please don't take offense." A sinister and charming smile curled at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth as he sized up the crowd. The Flame Temple group was all there. Among them was a young man—Qiong Yu. Through his divine thought observations, Lin Feng had confirmed it was him.
Lin Feng remained expressionless, but his hands clenched slightly. With so many experts present, there wasn't a single chance. He hoped he could delay a little longer, until the Prophet arrived. Then, together with Tian Ruojian, they could make a move.
