# Chapter 861: General's Tomb

Lin Feng, the young man standing before them, was actually Lin Feng.

Qi Yun's eyes were filled with shock as he stared intently at Lin Feng. The youth who had just taught him spear techniques was the very person he had always admired, the faith that had guided him forward all this way.

"Get up quickly." Lin Feng stepped forward and helped the kneeling commander rise, patting him on the shoulder. From the other's eyes, he could almost see memories and scars that time could not erase.

"General, the Crimson Blood Legion has failed you. We are ashamed before you." The commander lowered his head, his face full of guilt.

"There's no need for this." Lin Feng shook his head.

"But..." The commander wanted to say something more, but Lin Feng waved his hand to interrupt him: "Continue your duties. Don't let me delay anything."

With that, Lin Feng took a step forward, his body moving like the wind, disappearing in an instant, impossibly fast.

The commander stood there, staring blankly at Lin Feng's vanishing figure, his eyes flickering continuously: "The General has survived his great calamity, and his cultivation is now even more unfathomable. But..."

Thinking of this, his guilt deepened, along with a trace of worry.

Qi Yun, meanwhile, watched Lin Feng's retreating back, replaying that spear strike in his mind, unable to erase it. That was a spear technique personally taught to him by Lord Lin Feng.

Walking through the void, Lin Feng soon spotted the new imperial palace. It was the former City Lord's mansion, now expanded countless times over. Within it flowed dense heaven and earth origin energy. Lin Feng had once laid down a Small Nine Palace Gathering Origin Formation inside, and later invited some martial cultivators skilled in formations to modify it, filling every corner of the former City Lord's mansion with the aura of gathering formations, making the heaven and earth origin energy abundant.

Of course, rockeries and lakes could not be missing either. Various precious plants had been introduced into the palace, which now had considerable scale.

At this moment, Lin Feng had arrived at this vast estate. The new palace was guarded by elite Crimson Blood Legion soldiers, and within lived Lin Feng's closest family and friends from the past, along with some servants.

When the soldiers guarding the palace saw Lin Feng, they were so startled that their spears fell to the ground.

General Lin Feng, it was General Lin Feng.

With a thud, many of them knelt directly on the ground, shouting excitedly: "General!"

He had returned. General Lin Feng had fallen into the demonic path, and now, he had returned safely.

"Everyone, get up quickly."

Lin Feng waved his hand, and an invisible force of heaven and earth seemed to lift their bodies, making them stand. This shocked them deeply. The General's strength was terrifying.

"No need to make a fuss." Lin Feng smiled, his figure flickering, and disappeared before the crowd, stepping directly into the palace.

Unlike the former Snow Moon imperial palace, this new palace was simpler and more modest, divided into separate mansions.

Strolling inside, Lin Feng enjoyed this sense of tranquility, listening to the birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.

At the same time, he spread his divine sense, enveloping the surrounding space, allowing him to familiarize himself with everything within—who was living where now, and what each place was used for.

After a moment, Lin Feng discovered a simple courtyard, planted with many flowers and plants, very quiet. But outside this courtyard, many spirited Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry soldiers stood guard.

His divine sense extended into the courtyard, and then Lin Feng saw a familiar beautiful figure.

This figure was slimmer than before, seeming to have lost weight, yet still graceful and charming. The young woman wore a white robe, delicate and refined, very beautiful, but it was hard to conceal a hint of sorrow within.

Where this young woman stood was a patch of yellow earth, upon which were several small graves. In front of the graves stood inscribed stone tablets.

General's Tomb!

This was the General's Tomb within the palace, the only General's Tomb allowed in the inner courtyard. Those tombstones belonged to several generals, including Liu Canglan.

As for the young woman standing there, she was naturally Liu Canglan's daughter, Liu Fei.

Lin Feng moved lightly, flickering like a willow leaf, without a sound, gently drifting into the courtyard, stopping not far behind Liu Fei.

The young woman was guarding her father's grave, having lost her former vibrant energy, replaced only by faint sorrow.

Stepping softly, Lin Feng slowly walked forward. After the generals died, he had rushed back to Snow Moon, then fought a great battle and fallen into the demonic path, without even paying respects to the generals' remains. Lin Feng felt guilty in his heart.

Liu Fei, standing quietly there, had not noticed Lin Feng's arrival, still standing before the tombstones in remembrance.

"Rustle..." A soft sound rang out, startling Liu Fei. A sharp look flashed in her eyes. Someone had dared to trespass into the General's Tomb.

"Who?" Liu Fei suddenly turned around, releasing a cold aura, her palm blade slashing out. But when she saw that face clearly, her hand could no longer fall, stopping mid-air as she stared at the figure in a daze.

"You've lost weight."

The space fell silent for a moment, then Lin Feng's mouth uttered a sound, a simple sentence that seemed to stir endless memories in Liu Fei. The corners of her eyes reddened slightly.

"You're back." Liu Fei controlled her emotions, withdrew her hand, turned her face away, not letting her tears fall.

But Lin Feng stepped forward and knelt before the generals' graves, bowing three times to each general, remaining silent for a long time.

All the generals were truly loyal and righteous, yet they had died tragically in the schemes of villains.

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Ren, Uncle Feng, I have already killed Duan Wuya, and Duan Wudao is captured, destined to die sooner or later. If there truly is another world, may you all be well." Lin Feng sighed. He had crossed over from that azure blue planet, and sometimes he even wondered, what kind of world was this? Were there even higher realms beyond the lofty emperors and great emperors?

Under the same azure starry sky, did these two worlds have any connection?

This world had demons, had experts who soared above the nine heavens, and did it also have ghosts and gods?

When Liu Fei heard that Lin Feng had already killed Duan Wuya, her gaze froze. Kneeling beside Lin Feng, she lowered her head, as if trying desperately to hold back her tears.

"Let it out." Lin Feng said to the young woman, and then Liu Fei could no longer hold back her tears, crying bitterly.

Her head tilted slightly, resting on Lin Feng's shoulder, her tears soaking his shoulder.

Another silence passed. After a long time, Liu Fei's tears finally stopped. She lifted her head and asked Lin Feng: "These days, have you been well?"

"En, I've been very well." Lin Feng revealed a slight smile, helping Liu Fei stand up. Then he reached out and unfastened Liu Fei's white outer robe, causing her gaze to freeze.

Soon, the outer robe was removed by Lin Feng, revealing Liu Fei's graceful figure, soft as if boneless, even thinner than before.

With a thought, the white mourning clothes burned in flames, cremated before General Liu's grave. Liu Fei opened her mouth to speak, but Lin Feng said: "Uncle Liu would never want you to live like this if he knew in the underworld. Let this place be only the General's Tomb, not a residence. Change your clothes and come with me."

Liu Fei hesitated for a moment, seeming reluctant, but Lin Feng scolded: "Uncle Liu fought on the battlefield, and his greatest worry was you. If you live like this now, do you think Uncle Liu can rest in peace?"

His words made Liu Fei's gaze freeze. Finally, she nodded, returned to the house, and changed into a fiery-colored garment. Lifting her head, she revealed a faint smile at Lin Feng. Though the beauty was haggard, she was still moving.

Lin Feng took Liu Fei's hand, his body flickering as he soared into the air, shouting to the void: "From now on, the General's Tomb is sealed, becoming a forbidden area of the palace. No one may set foot here without permission."

"Who?"

Hearing this voice, the soldiers guarding the General's Tomb all stiffened, their bodies leaping into the air. Then they saw two figures drifting out, heading into the distance. One of them was Liu Fei.

As for the other person, when he turned his head back, all the soldiers trembled. General Lin Feng!

"General Lin Feng has returned!"

It wasn't just the people here who heard Lin Feng's voice. Many heard this loud shout, and soon, the news of Lin Feng's return shook the palace.

But in everyone's hearts, it felt like a heavy stone had been lifted. Lin Feng had fallen into the demonic path before, and now, he had returned safely. This was a great joy.

However, this joy was diluted by another matter, making people feel oppressed whenever they thought of it!
