# Chapter 366: Nine Dragons Mountain Range
"Yes, after fighting with him, he left." Lin Feng said casually, then turned his gaze to Duan Xinye.
"I'll leave together with Wen Aoxue. You go back first."
"Mm, okay." Duan Xinye nodded obediently, then her hands clasped Lin Feng's, showing some reluctance. "Then be careful from now on."
"Don't worry." Lin Feng smiled gently. Then Duan Xinye slowly released her hands and walked toward the imperial palace, occasionally unable to resist turning back to look at him, as if Lin Feng might run away at any moment.
Having received Lin Feng's promise for the first time, she always felt she might lose it—because she cared too much, she feared losing it.
Lin Feng kept smiling until Duan Xinye's figure disappeared before turning around. He saw Wen Aoxue wearing an ambiguous expression, looking at him with a half-smile.
Haven't seen him for days, Lin Feng has reached the Mysterious Martial Realm, become the number one of Heavenly One Academy, admired by the crowd, and even won the princess's heart. This guy really knows how to do it.
"Why a carriage?"
Lin Feng completely ignored Wen Aoxue's ambiguous smile and looked at the carriage. He, Lin Feng, was not a woman, yet Wen Aoxue had used a carriage to pick him up.
"Who knows if you might elope with my junior sister." Wen Aoxue said with a laugh, making Lin Feng roll his eyes. Without acknowledging him, he directly stepped onto the carriage.
Wen Aoxue sat in front of the carriage, snapped the soft whip, and the carriage slowly moved forward.
"Where have you been these days?" Lin Feng sat beside Wen Aoxue, who was driving the carriage, and asked.
"Nine Dragons Mountain Range, Sword-Gazing Peak." Wen Aoxue said casually. "I went into seclusion there for a while. Only now that I've broken through to the Mysterious Martial Realm do I have the face to come out and move around."
"Nine Dragons Mountain Range, Sword-Gazing Peak." Lin Feng murmured. To the east of the imperial city lay a vast, endless mountain range of demon beasts, just like Black Wind Ridge, boundless and infinite. On the other side of the mountain range was another kingdom of the Snow Domain.
Lin Feng had also heard that the powerful Yue Clan was located in a forest outside the Nine Dragons Mountain Range. As for the Sword-Gazing Peak that Wen Aoxue mentioned, it was a high peak within the mountain range.
"Yes, Sword-Gazing Peak. It's suitable for sword cultivators. After gazing at the peak for a while, my attainments in the Sword Dao have also improved considerably. If you have the chance, you should check it out too."
Wen Aoxue explained to Lin Feng. Some of the powerful sword cultivators in the imperial city liked to go to Sword-Gazing Peak to practice their sword techniques. However, it was said that it wasn't suitable to go too many times. It was best when you felt you were on the verge of enlightenment in the Sword Dao but hadn't yet broken through. Sword-Gazing Peak could help you break through to a new Sword Dao realm. If you went too many times, it might instead destabilize your sword heart.
Of course, this was just a rumor.
"Take me there." Lin Feng suddenly said, making Wen Aoxue pause.
"Now?" Wen Aoxue turned his head, his beautiful eyes looking at Lin Feng with a questioning gaze.
"Yes, now." Lin Feng nodded firmly, making Wen Aoxue's eyes freeze as he stared at Lin Feng. Lin Feng's gaze was unwavering, very resolute.
"Madman. I shouldn't have told you."
Wen Aoxue muttered gloomily, then suddenly snapped the horsewhip. The wheels rumbled as the carriage changed direction and galloped wildly toward the eastern part of the imperial city.
The imperial city was vast and boundless. Wen Aoxue galloped all the way, kicking up dust through the city, but it still took until the next morning to reach the Nine Dragons Mountain Range.
Looking at the endless mountain range of demon beasts before him, Wen Aoxue stretched lazily, a hint of sleepiness in his eyes. Cultivation wasn't tiring, but driving a carriage like this without stopping for a moment was truly torturous.
Looking at Lin Feng, Wen Aoxue saw that he had already jumped off the carriage, gazing at the mountain range of demon beasts with sparkling, spirited eyes.
This was Lin Feng's first time at the Nine Dragons Mountain Range. Like Black Wind Ridge, it was a mountain range of demon beasts, but it had a different character.
Black Wind Ridge had many slopes and forests, with terrain less steep than the Nine Dragons Mountain Range before him, which rose and fell dramatically. However, both beast forests carried demonic aura—very dense demonic aura.
Even so, quite a few people still entered and exited the Nine Dragons Mountain Range. For martial cultivators, beast forests were places of adventure—dangerous, but also holding opportunities. Within the beast forests, through combat with demon beasts, one could accumulate battle experience, undergo life-and-death trials, temper one's will, combat power, and sharpness. Occasionally, one might also encounter some fortuitous opportunities.
Therefore, although the beast forests were fraught with danger, people still rushed in one after another.
"Sword-Gazing Peak, where is it?" Lin Feng asked Wen Aoxue.
"Go straight into the mountain range. After about a hundred li, you'll know."
Wen Aoxue looked ahead and said indifferently, then added, "I just came out of this damn place, so I won't accompany you. Farewell."
With that, Wen Aoxue turned around very casually, mounted the carriage, and cracked his long whip. Accompanied by the rumbling of hooves, he gradually faded into the distance, very free and easy.
Lin Feng watched Wen Aoxue's retreating figure. What an adorable guy—handsome as a demon, unrestrained and unconventional.
Wen Aoxue also possessed innate talent and carried a proud spirit, but unlike those arrogant people who acted as if they were above others the moment they appeared, displaying all their pride as if afraid others wouldn't know how strong they were or how noble their status.
Soon, Lin Feng turned around and strode into the Nine Dragons Mountain Range. He had originally planned to train for a while to improve his cultivation.
After all, the imperial city was currently turbulent, and he, Lin Feng, had made quite a few enemies. He had to contend with She Qiong's faction and kill Ling Tian. All of this undoubtedly required strong strength to support. So when he heard Wen Aoxue say that Sword-Gazing Peak could help improve his Sword Dao, he immediately and without hesitation asked Wen Aoxue to bring him here.
Cultivation was endless. His sword had entered the realm of Man and Sword as One, but that wasn't enough. He hadn't even fully stabilized at the Man and Sword as One realm, and above it, there must be an even stronger realm—he just hadn't touched upon it yet.
Inside the Nine Dragons Mountain Range, the sunlight above was blocked by layers of dense forest. Rays of sunlight could only penetrate through the gaps.
Feng Ting carefully advanced through the dense forest. Around her, family guards protected her.
"Miss, we've already entered several dozen li deep into the mountain range. If we go any further, we might encounter some powerful spirit beasts. We must be more careful." An old man beside Feng Ting reminded her.
"Mm, I know." Feng Ting nodded. Although she felt a bit timid in her heart, for the sake of her father's illness, she had to keep moving forward. She absolutely had to find the Nine Yang Grass.
"Miss, if it doesn't work out, let's give up. The master won't blame you. Nine Yang Grass—how easy is it to find?" The old man sighed. Nine Yang Grass contained vast yang energy and life force, growing in places with extremely dense origin energy. Generally, only origin energy veins could nurture Nine Yang Grass. How could such precious land and treasures fall to them? Even if there were any, they would have been taken by others long ago.
Feng Ting gently shook her head. Giving up was impossible.
"Nine Yang Grass." Lin Feng, who happened to be nearby, paused upon hearing the words "Nine Yang Grass." This Nine Yang Grass was a true heavenly spiritual herb. Taking it directly could strengthen one's inner breath, making a martial cultivator's inner breath more powerful and continuous, thereby increasing their strength. Additionally, Nine Yang Grass was one of the main ingredients for the Luo Shen Pill.
Lin Feng had not forgotten the innocent girl Yun Xi, frozen in ice, who was still waiting for the Nine Yang Grass to recover and awaken.
Glancing at the guards around Feng Ting, Lin Feng frowned. Some of these guards were genuinely protecting the girl's safety, but others had lecherous looks in their eyes, greedily staring at the girl's graceful curves with ill intentions. The girl couldn't sense it, but Lin Feng's perception was extremely sharp—how could he not notice?
However, he, Lin Feng, was an outsider and had no business meddling in others' affairs.
Taking a few quick steps, Lin Feng came to the girl's side, startling the guards and the old man, who all stared at him.
"Who are you?" The old man shielded Feng Ting, his gaze wary. In the Nine Dragons Mountain Range, it was common for powerful martial cultivators to kill weaker ones and seize their treasures. So whenever a stranger suddenly appeared, everyone became cautious.
"Do you know where to find Nine Yang Grass?" Lin Feng asked the girl.
Feng Ting examined Lin Feng. His gaze was clean and clear, yet carried a hint of depth. He was exceptionally handsome.
"I don't know." Feng Ting shook her head. She was just looking for Nine Yang Grass.
Lin Feng didn't say anything more. He had just been asking casually.
