Chapter 466: Reviving Cloud Sea
"Mother, I'm going out for a walk."
Lin Feng did not wake Lin Hai, but instead spoke softly to Yue Menghe. Yue Menghe smiled and nodded. Now, most people in the Imperial City knew that Lin Feng was her son. Anyone who dared to touch Lin Feng would have to think twice. Moreover, Lin Feng's own strength was extraordinary, so Yue Menghe was not too worried about him.
Deep within the Longing Forest was a forbidden area, off-limits to outsiders. But now, Lin Feng could naturally come and go as he pleased.
After Lin Feng and Meng Qing walked out of the Longing Forest, they went straight to the Heavenly One Academy. When the people in the academy saw Lin Feng and Meng Qing, one by one, they showed expressions of envy and reverence.
On that day of the Snow Moon genius gathering, countless people had witnessed it with their own eyes. Most of the people from the Heavenly One Academy had been there in person. Even if they hadn't, they had heard about it from others. Now, who in the Heavenly One Academy didn't know Lin Feng?
"Truly a divine couple."
Many people looked at Lin Feng and Meng Qing, feeling more and more that the two were a perfect match. The man was peerless in elegance, the woman was holy as an immortal. The two were a perfect union.
The crowd at the Heavenly One Academy even stopped what they were doing, just to look at Lin Feng and the others, causing a wry smile to appear on Lin Feng's lips. He wasn't quite used to it.
Arriving at the residence of the General Star System's ancient castle, Lin Feng found Old Man Huo and Old Man Chi. Both were safe and sound. Lan Jiao, Jing Yun, and Yi Xue were also there, and they had already become familiar with the two elders. What made Lin Feng even more speechless was that Old Man Huo and Old Man Chi were playing chess, while Jing Yun and Yi Xue were serving tea and water on the side, and Lan Jiao was massaging the elders' shoulders. This treatment left Lin Feng utterly dumbfounded.
"Old Man Huo, look at how clever and quick-witted I am. Please teach me alchemy," Lan Jiao coaxed. But Old Man Huo didn't seem to fall for it and continued setting up the chessboard.
"Old Man Huo, Old Man Chi, you really know how to enjoy yourselves," Lin Feng said, walking over to the two elders with a smile.
"You and your celestial beauty went off to enjoy yourselves somewhere, and you won't let an old man play a couple of games of chess?" Old Man Chi glanced at Lin Feng and let out a chuckle. Now, the way he looked at Lin Feng was somewhat different.
In the past, although he had followed Lin Feng, Lin Feng was still weak and a junior. But now, the battle by the Xiang River that day had undoubtedly told them that Lin Feng had already surpassed the two of them, old men.
Moreover, it hadn't been that long. Old Man Huo and Old Man Chi could hardly believe it. It was like a dream.
They had thought it would take Lin Feng a few years to surpass them, but in reality, it hadn't even taken a year. Lin Feng had already achieved the surpassing, easily killing a Mysterious Martial Realm Third Layer expert and even killing a Fourth Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert without hesitation.
In addition, Lin Feng's own background seemed to be terrifying.
"Heh heh!" Old Man Huo smiled and looked at Lin Feng, saying, "Don't listen to this old ghost Chi. Lin Feng, if there's anything you need us to do, just speak up and give the orders."
A look of surprise appeared in Lin Feng's eyes, but then returned to normal. Old Man Huo's eyes were incredibly sharp; he could read Lin Feng's thoughts just from his eyes.
"Old Man Huo, there's no need for the word 'order.' I, Lin Feng, will never forget that you two seniors were willing to follow me when I was at my lowest," Lin Feng said, shaking his head with a smile.
Old Man Huo and Old Man Chi nodded. "If we didn't know your character, we wouldn't have followed you either."
"That's right, Lin Feng. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush like a woman," Old Man Chi muttered.
"Alright." Lin Feng nodded and spoke, "I would like to ask Old Man Huo to return to Yangzhou City and lead people to the Cloud Sea Mountain Range, surrounding the mountain for seven days."
Jing Yun's body trembled, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes. Lead people to the Cloud Sea Mountain Range and surround the mountain for seven days?
Lin Feng, what was he going to do?
"Also, I would like to ask Old Man Chi to lead people to the Hao Yue Sect and make the Hao Yue Sect disappear from Snow Moon."
Lin Feng spoke again, and Jing Yun's expression trembled once more. Now, Dapeng Gongzi and the Hao Yue Sect's leader, Chu Qing, were both dead. The Hao Yue Sect was like a heap of loose sand. But Lin Feng wanted the Hao Yue Sect to disappear.
Lin Feng was going to fulfill his former promise and revive Cloud Sea. None of the sects that had participated in the massacre of Cloud Sea back then could be let off.
Now, the time had come.
"No problem for me."
"No problem for me either."
Old Man Huo and Old Man Chi both nodded and stood up.
"Lin Feng, the Cloud Sea Sect is said to have been occupied by those sects that destroyed Cloud Sea. Moreover, many other sects have been established near the mountain range. Because the Cloud Sea Mountain Range is adjacent to the Black Wind Ridge, they can enter the Black Wind Ridge to train at any time, which is quite beneficial for the growth of the sects," Jing Yun said slowly to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng nodded slightly. He had also looked into the recent situation of Cloud Sea.
"Surround the mountain for seven days. Seal off the main peak of Cloud Sea. No one is allowed to take half a step out. For the people in other parts of the mountain range, let them evacuate within seven days. If they haven't withdrawn after seven days, kill without mercy. On Old Man Chi's side, after leveling the Hao Yue Sect, have some people transport the spoils back to Yangzhou City. Old Man Chi, you lead the others and change course to the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa. Stop on the way to the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa and wait for me to join you."
Lin Feng's voice carried a hint of cold indifference. In the world of martial arts, there were no rules. Back then, Duan Tianlang had led the people of the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa, the Hao Yue Sect, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to annihilate the Cloud Sea Sect. Now, almost three years had passed in the blink of an eye. Blood debts had to be repaid with blood.
"I understand what to do." Old Man Huo nodded. "There's no time to lose, Lin Feng. Old Man Chi and I will set off now."
"Good." Lin Feng nodded in agreement. Old Man Huo and Old Man Chi left directly without pausing for a moment.
Jing Yun looked at Lin Feng, her beautiful eyes flickering continuously. She had personally followed Lin Feng all the way, watching him grow step by step.
Now, Jing Yun still remembered the Lin Feng of the past. He had only been at the Sixth Layer of Qi Martial Realm, considered weak even among the outer disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect. But later, Lin Feng had risen like a comet within Cloud Sea, shining brilliantly on the Life and Death Platform, step by step embarking on the path of the strong. Now, Lin Feng already possessed the strength to destroy a sect leader.
Lin Feng had already surpassed the former Cloud Sea Sect leader, Nan Gong Ling. Would the Cloud Sea Sect be revived in Lin Feng's hands?
This young and handsome man, a youth of only eighteen years, was peerless in elegance. He was the strongest genius in the history of the Cloud Sea Sect, bar none. If the Cloud Sea Sect could not be revived in his hands, then Cloud Sea would cease to exist in Snow Moon. If it wasn't revived, it would be destroyed.
Jing Yun remembered that in the past, she had heard others mention that Nan Gong Ling had spoken of Cloud Sea, saying that when a sect reaches its peak, it will inevitably decline, and if it endures decline for a long time without being destroyed, it will inevitably flourish again. Two years ago, the Cloud Sea Sect was the weakest among the major sects, at its most declining moment, and was eventually destroyed by others. Fortunately, Lin Feng was still alive, so the Cloud Sea Sect's legacy could be passed down. Could Lin Feng make the Cloud Sea Sect flourish for a time?
All of this needed time to be tested.
"Lin Feng."
Just then, Lan Jiao called out. Lin Feng turned his gaze and landed on Lan Jiao. He saw a hint of sadness in her eyes, which was somewhat inconsistent with her usual demeanor.
"Lin Feng, I have to leave too," Lan Jiao said softly, which startled Lin Feng. But he quickly returned to normal. Lan Jiao had no ties to him. Back then, because Duan Tianya had led people to destroy the Star Dream Pavilion's people, Lan Jiao had to stay by his side to survive. Now that so much time had passed, it was only natural for Lan Jiao to leave.
Seeing Lin Feng silent, Lan Jiao continued, "People from the Star Dream Pavilion have already arrived in Snow Moon, in the Imperial City."
"Star Dream Pavilion!" Lin Feng's gaze trembled. The Star Dream Pavilion, the sect to which the Dream Pavilion belonged, was a power of the Dragon Mountain Empire, extremely powerful, far beyond what the forces of the Snow Moon Kingdom could compare to. They had actually come to Snow Moon as well.
"Lan Jiao, although you know everything about the Tianluo Ancient City incident, you must not mention it to your sect. The Second Prince, Duan Wuya, is by no means a good person. If your Star Dream Pavilion wants to move against him in the Snow Moon Kingdom, it will be difficult," Lin Feng warned.
Lin Feng had interacted with Duan Wuya many times, and even now, Duan Wuya still gave Lin Feng the feeling of being unfathomable. Lin Feng couldn't see through Duan Wuya. Back in the Tianluo Ancient City, Duan Wuya had dared to collect the soul of the Heavenly Martial realm expert, Ghost Fiend King.
Duan Wuya was meticulous in his schemes. If Lan Jiao tried to deal with him in the Snow Moon Kingdom's Imperial City, she would be the one to die.
"I know." Lan Jiao nodded. "I won't mention the Tianluo Ancient City incident to outsiders. I'll just pretend I know nothing."
"That's good." Lin Feng nodded. He and Lan Jiao had known each other for a while, and he didn't want anything to happen to her.
"Is there anything else you want to say to me?" Lan Jiao stared at Lin Feng, asking softly.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then uttered two words: "Take care."
"Alright." Lan Jiao smiled, then brushed past Lin Feng, taking nothing with her, and simply left like that.
