Chapter 839: All of You, Get Lost
"Lin Feng, get out here." Outside the palace, someone shouted angrily.
"Slaughtering fellow disciples, Lin Feng, you have some nerve. Prepare to atone with your death."
"Kill this traitor. How dare he even return to Heavenly Lake?"
Voices rose and fell incessantly, all of them clamoring for Lin Feng's life, all wanting to kill him.
Inside the palace, Lin Feng's gaze swept outward. He then lifted his steps and slowly walked out from within, his eyes scanning the crowd.
"Lin Feng, do you know your crime?" One person pointed a finger at Lin Feng and spoke coldly, his tone carrying an interrogative air, as if judging Lin Feng as a rebellious criminal.
"What crime?" Lin Feng looked at the man pointing at him and replied calmly.
"Hmph, you know full well. Entering the secret realm, you dared to scheme and slaughter fellow disciples, killing the disciples of our Heavenly Pivot Peak. Such a traitor—how can our Heavenly Lake tolerate you? Prepare to come with us to the main peak of Heavenly Pivot to confess your guilt." That person's expression was sharp, stepping forward to pressure Lin Feng, demanding he follow them to Heavenly Pivot Peak to admit his crimes.
"Who says I slaughtered fellow disciples?" Lin Feng remained as indifferent as ever, calmly watching the other party, though a hint of coldness lurked beneath his placid tone.
"Bai Lixi personally witnessed you killing our Heavenly Pivot Peak people. Do you still intend to deny it? The others from the other snow peaks were also present. Do you think denial will do you any good?"
"What am I denying? The people of Heavenly Pivot Peak—I killed them." Lin Feng replied, speaking with extreme nonchalance, instantly stirring the Heavenly Pivot Peak crowd into fury. They stepped forward, pointing at Lin Feng and cursing him with harsh, grating words.
"However, they deserved to die. How can you call it slaughter, let alone a crime? If you say I am guilty, let Bai Lixi come and confront me."
Deserved to die?
The Heavenly Pivot Peak crowd, upon hearing Lin Feng's words, were so enraged their chests heaved. Killing their people and still daring to speak so righteously—they wished they could strike Lin Feng down on the spot.
"Let the witnesses who say I am guilty come and speak to me directly." Lin Feng slowly advanced a few steps, utterly cold.
"Are you planning to retaliate?" a Heavenly Pivot Peak person sneered.
"I can't be bothered with your nonsense. I'll say this once: your Heavenly Pivot Peak people used despicable means, attempting to ambush and kill me, then incited others in Heavenly Lake to hunt me down and exclude me. Their crime warrants death. At the time, everyone who entered the secret realm was present. If anyone claims I am guilty, let them come and confront me. If there's nothing else, all of you, get lost."
Lin Feng waved his sleeve, directly issuing an order to leave, stunning those who had come to interrogate him. They had come to take Lin Feng to Heavenly Pivot Peak, and now this Lin Feng was telling them to get lost—what an arrogant fellow.
"To go back, we'll take you back to confess your guilt." The Heavenly Pivot Peak people all wore grim expressions, speaking icily.
"Shut up!" Lin Feng bellowed, his voice like a thunderclap, shaking their eardrums and making their hearts involuntarily skip a beat.
Then, they saw Lin Feng's gaze turn cold, fixed on them as he shouted, "Disciples of Heavenly Pivot Peak, you dare to surround the main hall of Heavenly Terrace Peak? Even setting aside whether my crime is established, your actions alone are treasonous. If you don't leave now, I'll make you leave."
"Are you threatening us?"
"Yes, I am threatening you." Lin Feng stepped forward, releasing his domineering aura, his eyes as sharp as lightning, as if they could electrocute a person on sight.
"Huff..." The Heavenly Pivot Peak people stared at Lin Feng intently. Too arrogant. What did he take their Heavenly Pivot Peak for?
"Let's see how you make us leave." The leader, also at the Ninth Layer of Profound Martial Realm, fixed his icy pupils on Lin Feng, a trace of chilling killing intent seeping through. At this moment, he wished he could kill Lin Feng immediately.
"Then watch closely."
Lin Feng stepped forward. In an instant, a residual image appeared. The man saw several complex, overlapping shadows approaching him, unable to discern Lin Feng's true form.
"Boom!" A muffled thunderclap erupted in the space before him, as if the very air twisted. The man felt a domineering wind like blades cutting into his body, stinging his skin.
His long hair flew backward. His expression changed drastically, and he raised his hand to strike a palm, but it was utterly chaotic and without form.
"Roll down Heavenly Terrace Peak!" A furious shout rang out. A cracking sound followed. The overwhelmingly domineering force directly shattered the man's bones, the terrifying power penetrating everything. The fist landed on his chest, breaking bone after bone. His body flew far into the distance, then crashed heavily to the ground, writhing in agony.
The others watching this scene were stunned. One punch—he couldn't even withstand a single punch from Lin Feng, sent flying directly. Lin Feng's strength was like a flood of beasts—unyieldingly fierce, overwhelmingly domineering.
Seeing Lin Feng's icy gaze sweep over them, they felt a bone-chilling cold.
"Since you won't leave, I'll see you out."
Lin Feng stepped forward again, his movement technique graceful, riding the wind and treading the waves, utterly carefree, almost a pleasure to behold.
"Boom!" Within the carefree steps, an overwhelmingly domineering fist intent erupted. Another terrifying punch struck the air, causing space to tremble. One person was sent flying, spitting blood from his mouth.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A violent, tyrannical hurricane raged. The Heavenly Pivot Peak people were all sent flying, one after another. None could evade Lin Feng's speed; none could resist his domineering fist force.
Lin Feng's power was too immense. Now, with over ten thousand Buddha-Demon powers and having consumed the demonic treasure Demon Bodhi, his physical strength had reached an inconceivable level, far beyond what those in the Mysterious Martial Realm could withstand. If Lin Feng hadn't held back, each punch would have directly killed a man.
Even the figures emerging from Heavenly Terrace Peak were stunned, watching Lin Feng's footwork and terrifying power with shock.
"His footwork." Tang Youyou had practiced the Carefree Step Art, and her own Carefree Steps were already fast. But Lin Feng was even faster, as if he had grasped the essence of carefree movement, roaming freely between heaven and earth.
With a faint smile, Tang Youyou thought to herself that Lin Feng's talent was indeed far greater than hers. The same set of steps, in Lin Feng's hands, became even more formidable. Little did she know, Lin Feng was practicing the true Carefree Step Art from the authentic Carefree Ancient Scripture.
"Such power..." The crowd was speechless. They clearly saw that Lin Feng hadn't even used his true essence; it was purely physical strength. Yet with just his raw physical power, a casual swing seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth. No one could withstand a single punch from him.
"Do you need me to see you off a bit further?" Lin Feng glanced at the people lying on the ground and spat out another cold remark. Not one of them was unharmed; all were severely injured, glaring at Lin Feng with venomous eyes.
"Lin Feng, Heavenly Pivot Peak will not let you off." The crowd scrambled away from the main peak of Heavenly Terrace Peak. So many Mysterious Martial Realm cultivators had come to Heavenly Terrace Peak to demand justice, only to be driven off by Lin Feng alone. Heavenly Pivot Peak had utterly lost face.
Jun Moxi and the others walked up to Lin Feng, watching the retreating crowd with flickering eyes.
"Lin Feng, although these people came to interrogate you over the deaths of Heavenly Pivot Peak's people, who knows if they have ulterior motives? By doing this, you may have given them an excuse," Jun Moxi said in a low voice. Although the people of Heavenly Lake were united in their common goal, the secrets Lin Feng harbored could easily arouse anyone's covetous intentions.
Lin Feng was, after all, just Lin Feng—not a Venerable of Heavenly Lake. If a Venerable had obtained a great treasure, no one in Heavenly Lake would dare object, even if they coveted it, for they would lack justification. But Lin Feng was different. Though his talent was formidable, he wasn't truly a core member of Heavenly Lake. Some ill-intentioned individuals might think that if they themselves obtained the treasure, it would benefit Heavenly Lake more.
Especially since Lin Feng had already clashed with Heavenly Pivot Peak, killing their talented disciples who entered the secret realm and then driving their people off the main peak of Heavenly Terrace. It was impossible for Heavenly Pivot Peak not to hate Lin Feng.
Soon, even stronger cultivators from Heavenly Pivot Peak would likely come to demand justice.
"I know. Since they already harbor ill intentions, why bother hiding and dodging? I might as well bring everything into the open," Lin Feng replied. Since the other party had designs on him, even if he cowered and retreated, he couldn't escape. So why be polite?
