Chapter 339: To Kill or Not to Kill
Lin Feng withdrew his distant gaze, looking at Duan Xinye. Keep a secret?
Could there be some hidden secret about this matter from eighteen years ago, that it could not be spread?
Still, Lin Feng nodded. Duan Xinye smiled faintly in return.
"A pity for that loving couple. After he left the Imperial City, Yue Menghe broke ties with her clan, lived a pure and simple life, built Longing Forest, brewed wine of longing, infusing the wine with the meaning of longing." At this moment, Duan Xinye and Lin Feng had already walked out of the bamboo grove. Duan Xinye continued, "And that senior of the Imperial Family no longer insisted. He devoted himself to bitter cultivation, even giving up the throne. It is said that his cultivation has now reached a transcendent state, and very few know exactly how profound his level is."
Speaking of this, Duan Xinye paused, her eyes flickering. Then she added, "Perhaps Yue Menghe would know. But since the incident eighteen years ago, Yue Menghe has rarely appeared. The same goes for Zhuge Wuqing and that nameless genius. They have all vanished without a trace."
Lin Feng nodded faintly. Eighteen years was too long ago. Perhaps those people had already left Snow Moon and would never appear again.
Unknowingly, the two arrived at a lakeside pavilion. Seeing them approach, Duan Wuya immediately walked over with a smile and said, "Xinye, Lin Feng, why not stay a little longer?"
Duan Xinye's face flushed slightly as she lowered her head. Lan Jiao also came behind Lin Feng and asked softly, "When are we going back?"
"Lin Feng and I have finally reunited. Why rush to leave? Lin Feng, come, let's have a few drinks." Duan Wuya said with a smile. But at that moment, Lin Feng's gaze directly passed over him and landed behind him. Seeing this, Duan Wuya revealed a meaningful smile, then slowly moved his body aside, deliberately not blocking Lin Feng's line of sight.
At this moment, on the lakeside pavilion, there were many people present, all young disciples dressed in luxurious clothes, each exuding an extraordinary aura. These people were all from noble and wealthy families, of no ordinary status.
And Lin Feng's gaze was fixed on one of the young men. At the same time, the young man also saw Lin Feng.
Their eyes locked onto each other. In the depths of the young man's eyes, a trace of fear was hidden as he stared intently at Lin Feng.
This young man was none other than Yu Tianxing.
And beside Yu Tianxing stood Yue Tianchen. The two seemed to have become quite close.
Ironically, the reason they could collude together was probably thanks to Lin Feng.
The young men who had been talking suddenly fell silent, as if sensing the abnormality. From Lin Feng's body, a chilling coldness gradually emanated, enveloping the space. In his eyes, killing intent flickered.
Seeing Yu Tianxing's gaze, Lin Feng immediately confirmed that those who had tried to assassinate him were definitely connected to Yu Tianxing. Otherwise, he wouldn't show fear the moment he saw Lin Feng. Clearly, Yu Tianxing was afraid Lin Feng would retaliate.
The space was filled with oppressive coldness, the killing intent growing stronger and stronger.
"Lin Feng, what do you want?" Yu Tianxing spoke coldly, his voice icy, but it couldn't hide the trace of fear within.
"What do I want?"
Lin Feng said nothing. He lifted his foot and stepped onto the corridor leading to the lakeside pavilion. Killing intent surged from Lin Feng's body, growing more intense.
Yu Tianxing clenched his teeth, staring fixedly at Lin Feng. Killing intent... such strong killing intent.
Under Lin Feng's killing intent, Yu Tianxing felt a chill run through his entire body. At this moment, Lin Feng was very dangerous, as if he might draw his sword and kill him at any moment.
"Lin Feng, my surname is Yu. I am a direct descendant of the Yu Clan." Seeing Lin Feng silent, Yu Tianxing spoke again.
The crowd was stunned by Yu Tianxing's words. It seemed that Yu Tianxing was deeply afraid of Lin Feng from the bottom of his heart; otherwise, he wouldn't be acting like this.
"I know." Lin Feng finally spoke, but the killing intent in his voice did not diminish in the slightest.
Yu Tianxing stared at Lin Feng and said, "Since you know, you should be very clear that if anything happens to me, Yu Tianxing, it will alarm the Yu Clan. And you, Lin Feng, should know very well what kind of clan the Yu Clan is."
Yu Tianxing guided Lin Feng step by step, as if afraid Lin Feng didn't know who he was or how powerful the Yu Clan was.
Yu Tianxing was afraid of Lin Feng, truly afraid. Ever since the first time Lin Feng beat him up, deep in his heart, he harbored both fear and hatred for Lin Feng.
Hatred, so he sent people to kill Lin Feng time and again, wanting to put him to death.
Fear, because of Lin Feng's reckless nature. Lin Feng acted too crazily, without regard for consequences. He dared to kill Duan Han, dared to cause a scene at Wenren Yan and Duan Yu's wedding, swinging his sword to cut people down. So Yu Tianxing was afraid, afraid that Lin Feng, in a fit of rage, would draw his sword and kill him.
"I know." Lin Feng's voice remained as cold as ever, devoid of any emotion.
"Since you know, get out of the way." Yu Tianxing said. He wanted to leave this place, but Lin Feng blocked the end of the corridor. He dared not step toward Lin Feng.
If Lin Feng really wanted to kill him, walking over would be like a lamb walking into the tiger's mouth.
"Get out of the way?" A cold smile appeared at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. The killing intent on him not only did not weaken but grew even stronger.
This intensifying killing intent made Yu Tianxing's body stiffen again, the chill spreading throughout his body.
"Since you know I am a member of the Yu Clan, understand the Yu Clan's power, and know the consequences of harming me, then why don't you get out of the way?"
Yu Tianxing's voice carried a strong threat. At this moment, he was very uneasy, extremely uneasy. Because of this unease, he threatened Lin Feng, hoping Lin Feng would move aside.
But Lin Feng stood like a rock, unmoving, as if nothing could make him budge an inch.
The killing intent remained.
At this moment, behind Yu Tianxing, the crowd exchanged glances. This was Lin Feng, indeed as the rumors said, extremely arrogant.
Yue Tianchen also stared at Lin Feng, his brow deeply furrowed. Especially seeing Lin Feng arriving with Duan Xinye, he felt very displeased. Because the Duan and Yue families had once promised a marriage alliance, he had always regarded Duan Xinye as his woman. But Duan Xinye had never shown any interest in him, instead being very close to Lin Feng.
This made Yue Tianchen very unhappy. He also wanted Lin Feng dead, but Lin Feng's strength kept growing, and now even Mysterious Martial Realm cultivators couldn't kill him.
The unknown was the most terrifying. Because Yu Tianxing didn't know what Lin Feng was thinking, he was afraid. He didn't know when Lin Feng would make a move against him.
Lin Feng did not answer Yu Tianxing's words. He said nothing, just stood there, motionless, with only killing intent raging through the space. No one knew what he wanted to do.
Yu Tianxing and the others also fell silent. The vast space was eerily quiet.
Second Prince Duan Wuya stood expressionless, calmly watching the development of events, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Lan Jiao, on the other hand, glanced at Duan Wuya. From that calm face, she seemed to see the depth of Duan Wuya's scheming.
By now, she had realized that Lin Feng and Yu Tianxing had a grudge.
And not long ago, Duan Wuya had been in contact with Yu Tianxing and the others, appearing to have a good relationship on the surface.
But Lin Feng was invited by Duan Wuya. Seeing his attitude now, it was clear he knew about the grudge between Lin Feng and Yu Tianxing, yet he deliberately let them meet. The implication was obvious.
Of course, Lan Jiao believed Lin Feng also understood this. She would not interfere with what Lin Feng did, nor could she.
The silent and oppressive space lasted for a long time. Finally, Lin Feng's lips moved, and he spoke, "You are a member of the Yu Clan?"
Yu Tianxing was startled, not expecting Lin Feng to ask such a pointless question. But he still nodded and said, "Yes, I am a member of the Yu Clan, a direct descendant."
"Your Yu Clan is very powerful?" Lin Feng asked again.
"Yes." Yu Tianxing nodded again.
A fierce killing intent flashed in Lin Feng's eyes as he continued, "You are a direct descendant of the Yu Clan, your Yu Clan is very powerful, and you, Yu Tianxing, want to kill me. Tell me, shouldn't I kill you first?"
"If you kill me, the Yu Clan will not let you go." Yu Tianxing's body trembled slightly upon hearing Lin Feng's words.
"Did you let me go when I had no intention of killing you?" Lin Feng asked coldly. "Since you were already going to kill me, never intending to let me go, then when I have the chance, why shouldn't I kill you? Do you think I can only wait for you to come and kill me, until I, Lin Feng, am dead?"
The crowd's eyes narrowed. That's right. Whether Lin Feng killed Yu Tianxing or not, Yu Tianxing and the Yu Clan had no intention of letting Lin Feng go. So why should Lin Feng let Yu Tianxing go?
In this situation, anyone would know what choice to make.
Kill!
