Chapter 605: Divine Palace
Jun Moxi, Qing Mengxin, and Jian Chen were the fastest to arrive. They saw Lin Feng's battle and immediately understood—Lin Feng was the Snow Moon Lin Feng.
Although he had disappeared, he was not dead at all. He had simply changed his identity to participate in the Snow Domain Grand Competition. There must have been some hidden circumstances behind his disappearance last time.
The people from Dragon Mountain Empire arrived one after another. Seeing the two sides confronting each other in the void, they were momentarily stunned. Jun Moxi, Tang Youyou, and Jian Chen were all about to make a move. The strongest members of Dragon Mountain Empire were all helping Lin Feng, while the Taishu family's force was also terrifying.
Taishu Tianqi's gaze turned stern as he stared at this group. Fight? Very well. These people were all seeking death.
"You all—who else wants to fight?"
His cold gaze swept over the Dragon Mountain Empire crowd as Taishu Tianqi spoke indifferently.
Qing Mengxin smiled lightly, glancing at Lin Feng. This guy was indeed interesting. She had already known Lin Feng's identity—she had known since the night Lan Jiao went to see Lin Feng.
What she didn't know was that Lin Feng possessed such formidable strength. At the Fifth Layer of Mysterious Martial Realm, he could kill someone at the Sixth Layer so easily—one sword, one kill.
"Jun Moxi has already joined the battle. Can this fight really happen?"
Qing Mengxin smiled faintly, stepping forward to look at Taishu Tianqi. The smile in her eyes was especially rich.
"People of the Taishu family, we came from Dragon Mountain Empire to the Mysterious City to participate in the Snow Domain Grand Competition. Now you surround and try to kill us. If we are defeated and die in this Mysterious City, can you bear the responsibility?"
"Oh?" Taishu Tianqi raised an eyebrow, his expression shifting slightly. People from Dragon Mountain Empire, here for the Snow Domain Grand Competition?
Seeing Taishu Tianqi's expression, Lin Feng showed a curious look. Responsibility?
Did that mean they were protected as participants in the Grand Competition? The Taishu family couldn't kill them?
"You came for the Snow Domain Grand Competition, but you shouldn't have killed my sister," Taishu Tianqi said coldly.
"That woman was unreasonable and tyrannical. If I didn't kill her, was I supposed to let her kill me?" Lin Feng sneered.
"Heh." Qing Mengxin remained calm, her smile unchanged. "Regardless of the grievance, everything must wait until after the Snow Domain Grand Competition. If anything happens to us participants, the Divine Palace will be enraged. Your Taishu family probably can't bear that consequence."
"Divine Palace?"
Lin Feng and many others were shocked again. What was this Divine Palace?
From Qing Mengxin's tone, it seemed this Divine Palace was far more powerful than the Taishu family, and the Taishu family dared not offend it.
Moreover, after Qing Mengxin's few words, the leading youth, Taishu Tianqi, had clearly lost the killing edge he had earlier. If these people were all participants in the Snow Domain Grand Competition, they were clearly elites. If Taishu Tianqi killed them all, he really couldn't explain it to the Divine Palace.
"Can't kill them all. What about killing just the murderer?"
A cold voice came from afar, extremely ethereal, causing Taishu Tianqi's expression to stiffen.
"Who?"
The crowd looked around but saw no one, nor any trace of aura. They only heard the voice, but saw no person.
"Thousand-mile sound transmission!"
Jun Moxi frowned. Someone was watching them from an extremely distant place, transmitting their voice from a thousand miles away. This was the Heavenly Martial Realm. The speaker was a Heavenly Martial Realm expert from the Taishu family.
A cold smile appeared on Taishu Tianqi's face. Finally, his gaze fell on Lin Feng. "My sister—you killed her, didn't you?"
"It was me," Lin Feng admitted frankly.
"It was clearly me who killed her. Why do you say it was you?"
Standing on the ground, Yun Feiyang stepped forward, arriving beside Jun Moxi. He had handed Xiao Ya to Jun Moxi. Among their group, Jun Moxi was the least likely to be in danger, especially since there seemed to be a Divine Palace restraining the Taishu family. As one of the two strongest participants from Dragon Mountain Empire in this Grand Competition, the other side absolutely dared not touch Jun Moxi.
Lin Feng looked at Yun Feiyang with surprise, seeing a righteous aura emanating from him—open and upright, fearless.
Although Yun Feiyang was decisive in killing, eliminating anyone who threatened his life, he was still honorable and not treacherous.
"Then let's say we killed her together," Lin Feng said to Yun Feiyang with a smile, then looked at Taishu Tianqi. His clean eyes held no trace of fear. Though his face was sallow, Lin Feng seemed to have a special luster about him.
"Very well. Then both of you will come back to the Taishu family with me."
Taishu Tianqi's foot trembled, and his figure shot forward like a streak of light, heading straight for Lin Feng.
"No one from Dragon Mountain Empire will be taken away," Jun Moxi shouted coldly, his body like a phantom. Two shadows collided in the void.
"Boom!"
A dull sound rang out as their palms met in the void. Then the crowd saw countless palm shadows flickering in the sky where they clashed. Their figures rose straight into the air, each palm strike faster than the last. The crowd couldn't even see their movements, but when they reached the heights, a trail of palm shadow light stretched from below to above—a shocking sight.
Fast, too fast. The crowd couldn't even see their movements.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The void trembled, and the trail of palm shadow light collapsed simultaneously. Terrifying energy turned into a chaotic whirlwind, shocking to behold.
Lin Feng walked to Xiao Ya's side, took her hand, and looked at the two fighting in the void with a hint of gratitude. The people standing with him were fighting for him.
"Swish..."
A terrifying dark palm force shot directly at Lin Feng, causing space to tremble.
But Tang Youyou's expression turned cold. She stepped forward and struck out a light palm, causing the dark palm print to shatter and annihilate in the void, dissipating into air currents.
"Capture those two and bring them back to the family."
Cold shouts came from the Taishu family's direction. Tang Youyou's face turned serious, her robes fluttering, making her look even more cold and beautiful.
"Why bother?" Qing Mengxin stamped her foot on the ground, her body rising into the air, also arriving in front of Lin Feng. She smiled lightly at him. "I'm helping you again. You must remember me."
Qing Mengxin's smile still carried a seductive charm. She and Tang Youyou stood on either side—one cold as ice, one enchanting as fire—but equally powerful auras bloomed from them.
A suppressed aura spread through the void. The people of the Taishu family all surrounded Lin Feng, determined to capture him and Yun Feiyang.
"Enough."
At that moment, a cold shout rolled through the sky, directly shaking the hearts of the crowd, making them tremble violently.
In the sky, space became wildly chaotic. A terrifying vortex of energy churned violently in one direction of the void.
Then, the crowd saw a face appear there—a human face.
"Enough. Taishu Yan was the one who was unreasonable first, acting tyrannically and leading people to chase those from Dragon Mountain Empire, ultimately causing her own death. Your Taishu family can seek revenge, but before the Snow Domain Grand Competition, no more trouble will be allowed. Now, all of you, go back."
This face drifted in the void, and a cold voice came from its mouth. His words were like a command that no one could disobey.
Jun Moxi and Taishu Tianqi both stopped, looking at this face. They immediately understood—this was a person from the Divine Palace!
Taishu Tianqi's face stiffened. Though hatred burned in his heart, he dared not say a single unnecessary word. He could only nod in acknowledgment. "Taishu Tianqi knows his mistake. I will take my people and leave immediately."
The person turned his gaze to Jun Moxi and the others, saying, "Listen, people of Dragon Mountain Empire. Tomorrow morning, at the Fallen Heaven Mountain Range, the Snow Domain Grand Competition will begin."
With that, space rippled, and the face gradually faded into nothingness, dissipating into thin air.
"Tomorrow morning, Fallen Heaven Mountain Range, Snow Domain Grand Competition!"
The voice rolled out, heard clearly by everyone within a hundred miles. The Snow Domain Grand Competition was finally about to begin.
"Such terrifying soul energy." Lin Feng stared at the place where the face had disappeared, his mind trembling. What kind of place was this Snow Domain Mysterious City? Why were there so many powerful experts? And there was a Divine Palace—what kind of formidable force was that?
