Chapter 701: Preparing to Collect Debts
In the Longing Forest, Yue Menghe, Lin Hai, Meng Qing, Xinye, and Xiao Ya were gathered together, seemingly discussing some exciting topic. The faces of the two elders were brimming with smiles, while Meng Qing had long shed her cold demeanor, a faint smile always lingering on her face. Now, she had cast off the aloofness of the Ice and Snow Goddess, gaining a more radiant and holy beauty.
Xinye’s face was perpetually adorned with a sweet smile, and together with the little girl Xiao Ya, the five of them made for an especially lively group.
It turned out they were discussing which day to set for the grand wedding.
Now that their son had become famous throughout the world and was about to marry beautiful and virtuous daughters-in-law, they were naturally overjoyed. Lin Hai and Yue Menghe even seemed to have grown much younger.
In the past, their hearts were filled with nothing but worry, but now, they were filled with nothing but joy.
“How about we set it for half a month from now?” Yue Menghe suggested.
“Not good.” Meng Qing shook her head, leaving Yue Menghe a bit puzzled. She asked, “Meng Qing, what do you think?”
“Mother, half a month from now is the Day of Great Yin, which is unfavorable for one’s fortune.” Meng Qing spoke. Yue Menghe smiled gently and said, “Meng Qing, martial artists don’t believe in fate. Half a month from now, you and Xinye will marry Xiao Feng together. Two women taking the Day of Great Yin—what’s wrong with that?”
Meng Qing was taken aback by Yue Menghe’s words, then shook her head. “Mother, this is Xinye’s wedding. I won’t interfere.”
“Sister Meng Qing.” Duan Xinye took Meng Qing’s hand, her smile pure and genuine. “You and Feng met first. If anyone should marry Lin Feng, it should be you. It never should have been my turn. How could I go before you? Let Feng marry us both. This is what Mom, Dad, and I have all agreed on, and Feng has consented too.”
“But this goes against the customs of the mortal world,” Meng Qing said, looking at Xinye, her heart suddenly pounding. She had never imagined that she too would one day marry Lin Feng.
“Why be bound by worldly customs?” Lin Hai shook his head dismissively. “In this martial world, only strength matters. Xiao Feng has won the Snow Domain Grand Competition and been enfeoffed as a Human Lord. He is not bound by convention, and no one would dare show disrespect or gossip about it.”
Lin Hai saw the world more clearly. If Lin Feng married two such beautiful, celestial wives, people would only praise him as the most promising young genius of Snow Moon, capable of marrying two such fairy-like beauties.
Meng Qing looked at the group, and they all looked back at her, as if they had all known about this and were only keeping it from her. A faint warmth stirred in her heart.
“Does Feng know?” Meng Qing asked. In truth, deep down, how could she not want to become Lin Feng’s wife and stay by his side forever?
“Sister Meng Qing, don’t you know Feng’s heart? For your sake, he once refused to accept me. The one who wants this most is him. He knows too, but how could he bring it up himself?” Duan Xinye held Meng Qing’s hand, her eyes still pure and clear. Indeed, Lin Feng found it hard to broach the subject.
“Hehe, alright, Sister Meng Qing, just agree. Big brother has so many beautiful girls chasing him outside. If you don’t agree now, it’ll be too late,” Xiao Ya giggled. Meng Qing and Duan Xinye were both startled, then turned their gazes to Xiao Ya.
Covering her mouth, Xiao Ya timidly turned around and muttered, “I need to go relieve myself first.”
With that, she turned and ran off, making the others laugh. The wedding day was finally set: half a month from now, the Day of Great Yin.
Lin Feng was unaware of this decision. He had said that his parents could decide the date, any day was fine. At this moment, he was at the former Snow Moon Holy Academy, now the Cloud Sea Sect.
Relying on the grand formation and the dense heaven and earth origin energy within the entire sect, the Cloud Sea Sect was developing extremely rapidly. Especially after Lin Feng became famous and was enfeoffed as a Human Lord, many people came seeking to join the Cloud Sea Sect and become one of its members. Lin Feng was, after all, the Sect Leader of the Cloud Sea Sect.
Rumors had it that Lin Feng’s strength had already reached an extremely terrifying level, entering a state of transcendence. Throughout the entire Snow Moon Kingdom, there were few who could rival him. Even Crown Prince Duan Wudao had lost to him. It seemed only a matter of time before Lin Feng stepped into the legendary Heavenly Martial Realm. People could foresee the rise of the Cloud Sea Sect.
Those at the Mysterious Martial Realm could establish their own power. With strong practitioners at the high levels of the Mysterious Martial Realm, a sect’s strength would be enough to dominate Snow Moon. The Cloud Sea Sect, where Lin Feng resided, already had the potential to become the supreme power of Snow Moon. Naturally, people were eager to join, hoping to receive even a little guidance from Lin Feng, which would surely lead to rapid improvement in their strength.
However, joining the Cloud Sea Sect was no longer so easy. First, one’s strength or talent had to be outstanding. Second, one had to undergo a test of character and loyalty. Otherwise, the Cloud Sea Sect would become flooded with all kinds of people.
Now, the members of the Cloud Sea Sect walked the streets with their heads held high. Being part of the Cloud Sea Sect filled them with pride.
At this time, in the central Martial Arts Arena of the Cloud Sea Sect, Lin Feng stood atop a tower. Behind him were Ren Qingkuang, Lei Qingtian, and a few others who had once been military commanders. Now all at the Mysterious Martial Realm, they still felt a powerful pressure standing behind Lin Feng. They could never have imagined that Lin Feng’s strength would reach such a terrifying level.
In the Martial Arts Arena, there were many people. They were all spirited, their gazes sharp as they looked at the young figure on the tower—their Sect Leader, their commander, who had created miracles and become famous throughout the world.
“The overall cultivation level has risen by several steps. Very good.” Lin Feng looked at these people. The strength of the Cloud Sea Sect members had made a considerable leap compared to before. Dominating Snow Moon would not be too difficult.
“How is the strength of the selected team?” Lin Feng asked.
“Within a year, thirty people will be able to step into the Mysterious Martial Realm. Within two years, a hundred will cross over,” Ren Qingkuang replied.
Lin Feng shook his head. “Too slow. I want them all to step into the Mysterious Martial Realm within a month. Also, uncles, you need to raise your strength by another level. Only then will our Cloud Sea Sect be considered a top-tier sect, capable of contending with any force in Snow Moon.”
“Three months is too difficult.” Ren Qingkuang shook his head. The time was too short; it seemed unlikely.
“I will go into seclusion with Old Man Huo and Old Man Chi for a few days to refine powerful pills with no side effects to help everyone improve their cultivation.”
“But we can’t gather enough spirit herbs and materials needed to refine such a large quantity of pills in such a short time,” Ren Qingkuang said doubtfully. Had Lin Feng already prepared for this?
“We’ll have them soon. Uncles, start rallying the troops now. We’re going to plunder!” Lin Feng seemed to have a plan already.
“Plunder?” Ren Qingkuang was stunned. What was Lin Feng planning to do?
“Yes, plunder. The resources of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the Yu Family will all belong to our Cloud Sea Sect. If we still lack spirit herbs and plants, we’ll use the Origin Stones or other good things we obtain to trade and exchange with others.” Lin Feng’s words made Ren Qingkuang and the others’ hearts tremble. The resources of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the Yu Family, all belonging to the Cloud Sea Sect!
It seemed Lin Feng really was going to tear a hole through Snow Moon.
“How many people should we bring?” Ren Qingkuang asked.
“Bring everyone. You personally lead the elite troops. This is a good opportunity to train them.”
Lin Feng’s voice remained calm. Before the wedding day, he wanted to resolve one of the grudges in his heart. In the past, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the Yu Family had tried countless times to kill him. Even during the Snow Domain Grand Competition, people from both sides had schemed against him in secret. Fortunately, he had been lucky and was saved by Old Man Xiao. Now, it was time to settle these accounts.
Plunder the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the Yu Family, and let the Cloud Sea Sect rise!
“Alright, I’ll go now.” Ren Qingkuang nodded, then vanished in a flash to issue the orders.
“Uncle Feng, you go too. And Uncle Lei, please inform Old Man Huo and Old Man Chi to come along as well,” Lin Feng said to Yu Feng Han and Lei Qingtian.
Both nodded and then moved away.
Standing there, Lin Feng gazed in the direction of the Yu Family and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. His eyes were like sharp swords. Wherever his sword pointed, it would surely shake the world!
