# Chapter 627: Conversation

A day was not long, and it passed quickly.

The Flood Dragon Grotto was located on the other side of the main battle platform for this Snow Domain Grand Competition, stretching about ten miles in length. The entrance was extremely vast, consisting of dragon mouths — eighty-one dragon mouths in total, each one serving as an entrance to the Flood Dragon Grotto.

However, on the other side of these eighty-one dragon mouths, there was only one exit — the main battle platform of the Snow Domain Grand Competition.

After passing through the Flood Dragon Grotto, they could directly step onto the battle platform and enter the final decisive battle.

It seemed as if the second round of the Snow Domain Grand Competition had been deliberately arranged, with the location set at the Flood Dragon Grotto.

At this moment, the eighty-one entrances of the Flood Dragon Grotto were buzzing with noise. Many people had gathered at the entrances, having waited for this day for a long time. Once this second round passed, the final decisive battle would begin. Who would stand at the pinnacle of the Snow Domain Grand Competition stage and become the most dazzling genius?

Furthermore, of the one hundred and forty-four genius disciples from the four great empire forces of the Snow Domain, after the first round of battles, casualties were heavy. Now only sixty-eight remained. Among these sixty-eight, would any die in this second round of the Snow Domain Grand Competition?

None of this could be predicted.

From a distant direction, groups of people gradually approached. Imperial Mausoleum still came alone, stepping through the void, directly descending onto the head of the dragon at the entrance of the Flood Dragon Grotto. He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes to rest, paying no attention to the crowd's gazes, as if he were the only one there.

Blood Fiend had also arrived early. Similarly, his body descended directly beside Imperial Mausoleum, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before him. He was looking for Lin Feng's figure. If Lin Feng encountered him in this second round of the competition, he would kill him. But after searching for a moment, he did not see Lin Feng. Lin Feng had not yet appeared.

On the road to the Flood Dragon Grotto, there were many figures. In one direction, two Crimson Blood Warhorses slowly advanced. On one Crimson Blood Warhorse sat two masked figures, while on the other Crimson Blood Warhorse sat a delicate girl.

Not far from the Crimson Blood Warhorses, there were many other figures, all heading to the Flood Dragon Grotto.

For example, Lin Feng was beside the Crimson Blood Warhorses, walking slowly. His slightly sallow face still carried that calm and indifferent clean smile. With a cultivation level of the Fifth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm, he was an ordinary young man, so ordinary that no one would have imagined that last night, with a single swing of his sword, dozens of Heavenly Fiend Sect experts had their blood spilled across the void, all annihilated in one strike.

At this moment, Lin Feng gave the impression of a sunny youth, one who did not contend with others, carrying a hint of playful nonchalance.

Lin Feng did not speak with Han Man and the others, maintaining a slight distance from them, as if they were strangers who did not know each other.

However, not far from them, a cold figure stared at Lin Feng and his group, exuding a trace of killing intent. Yu Liushui naturally knew that Lin Feng and the others were together. Although Yu Qin and Yu Jian were already dead, and no one from his Yu family remained on the stage of the Snow Domain Grand Competition, he had not left this Snow Domain Mysterious City. If he did not kill Lin Feng to avenge them, how could he leave?

He could not kill now, so he would wait. He would wait until the Snow Domain Grand Competition ended, then take Lin Feng's life.

Lin Feng paid no attention to Yu Liushui's murderous gaze. He also knew what Yu Liushui was planning. After the Snow Domain Grand Competition, it would not be Yu Liushui killing him, but him killing Yu Liushui.

Suddenly, several figures flashed and appeared between the Crimson Blood Warhorses and Lin Feng, startling Lin Feng for a moment. But instantly, his eyes returned to their original state, as if nothing had happened.

"You... are also people from the Snow Moon Kingdom?"

Yue Qingshan looked at Han Man on the Crimson Blood Warhorse and asked. If he was not mistaken, this warhorse should be a Crimson Blood Warhorse, and Crimson Blood Warhorses were the mounts of the elite legions at Broken Blade City in the Snow Moon Kingdom.

Although Yue Qingshan was not a soldier, he had heard of Liu Canglan and the border armies. In fact, in his heart, he rather admired Liu Canglan. They were merely pawns of the monarch. The monarch used the kingdom as a chessboard, and the people on the chessboard were all pawns. Only by possessing great strength could one jump out of the chessboard. This was a world that only recognized strength.

However, those soldiers, even knowing they were merely playing the role of pawns, still had their own convictions, a kind of faith that supported them in offering their blood and even their lives.

"My three elder brothers are. I am not." Xiao Ya said with a light laugh, her voice crisp, her gaze clear.

"Three elder brothers?"

Yue Qingshan glanced at Han Man and Po Jun. There were only two. But soon his gaze fell on Lin Feng, who was off to the side, revealing a curious expression.

Lin Feng had come to participate in the Snow Domain Grand Competition. If he was from the Snow Moon Kingdom, how could he, as the head of the Yue family, have never heard of him?

"Are you from the Snow Moon Kingdom?" Yue Qingshan asked Lin Feng curiously. He truly had not heard of this person before him.

A bitter smile tugged at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. This girl Xiao Ya really had no filter.

"I am."

Lin Feng's gaze was clear as he looked at his maternal grandfather, his heart as calm as still water. He wanted very much to say, "I am not only from the Snow Moon Kingdom, but I am also connected to you by blood."

Yue Qingshan acknowledged Yue Tianming but did not really recognize him, this grandson of his. He had even wanted Lin Feng's woman, Duan Xinye, to become Yue Tianming's wife. If Lin Feng said he had no feelings about this, it would be impossible. In the Snow Domain Grand Competition, if he had the chance, he would fight Yue Tianming, then tear off his mask, letting Yue Qingshan see his face, see clearly who he was.

Sometimes he even wanted to see the regret on Yue Qingshan's face. He wanted to prove himself before Yue Qingshan, prove that he was far more outstanding than Yue Tianming.

Yue Qingshan naturally did not know what Lin Feng was thinking at this moment. Seeing Lin Feng actually nod and admit he was from the Snow Moon Kingdom, Yue Qingshan became even more puzzled.

"Forgive me for being dim-witted. I know most of the geniuses of the Snow Moon Kingdom. May I ask who you are, and how should I address you?"

"Although Family Head Yue has a great reputation in the Snow Moon Kingdom, it is impossible for you to know everyone." Lin Feng said casually with a smile, startling Yue Qingshan. Family Head Yue — since Lin Feng addressed him this way, he clearly recognized him. This person was truly from the Snow Moon Kingdom, yet he did not know him.

"Perhaps." Yue Qingshan nodded, then called out, "Tianming, come here and take a look. See if you recognize this talented young man. He says he is also from our Snow Moon Kingdom."

Yue Tianming stepped forward and looked at Lin Feng. Of course, he knew Lin Feng. In the Dragon Mountain Empire, Lin Feng had challenged with his physical strength and succeeded, earning a spot in the Snow Domain Grand Competition. This had left a rather deep impression on him. Moreover, Lin Feng's cultivation seemed to have progressed very quickly. In the Dragon Mountain Empire, his realm had not even entered the Mysterious Martial Realm, but now he was already at the Fifth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm. Such a leap was simply impossible.

Therefore, Yue Tianming was certain that Lin Feng had been hiding his strength back then.

But when did this young man, who shared the same name as the Lin Feng of the Snow Moon Kingdom, become a person of the Snow Moon Kingdom?

"Grandfather, this person obtained his spot in the Snow Domain Grand Competition through a challenge in the Dragon Mountain Empire. Moreover, his name is... Lin Feng!"

Yue Tianming said, causing Yue Qingshan's eyes to suddenly freeze. His white hair fluttered in the wind for a moment, then returned to calm.

"Lin Feng!"

Yue Tianming looked at Lin Feng. The young man before him and that Lin Feng were completely different people. It should be a coincidence of names. But he said he was from the Snow Moon Kingdom.

"That's right. I also know that Family Head Yue seems to have an acquaintance who is also named Lin Feng. What a coincidence."

Lin Feng smiled faintly. Yue Qingshan's heart gradually calmed, but Yue Tianming's gaze remained fixed on Lin Feng.

Before, this Lin Feng had suddenly appeared, never saying he was from the Snow Moon Kingdom, nor having any interaction with him. But now, he said he was from the Snow Moon Kingdom, and he even knew about their Yue family affairs, even knew the previous Lin Feng. All of this seemed a bit too coincidental, making him feel very unnatural.

"What a coincidence indeed." Yue Qingshan nodded with a smile. "Being able to participate in the Snow Domain Grand Competition together is also fate. You and Tianming are both young, you can interact more and discuss martial arts experience."

"Family Head Yue has great strength and has immersed himself in the martial path for many years. Yue Tianming is also exceptionally talented. There is no need for them to discuss anything with me." Lin Feng said tactfully. Yue Tianming also understood Lin Feng's meaning and smiled, "Then I won't disturb you."

With that, Yue Qingshan and Yue Tianming walked away together. But Lin Feng's figure lingered in Yue Qingshan's mind, impossible to shake off. Especially Lin Feng's clean, penetrating eyes. At Lin Feng's age, he should not have such clear, penetrating eyes!
