# Chapter 874: Reunion
A ray of light streamed into the room. Yun Xi's eyelids twitched slightly, and then a pair of hazy eyes slowly opened. Her watery eyes still appeared so innocent, as pure and flawless as mutton-fat jade. Those clean, lively eyes seemed as if they could never contain any impurity.
"Mm!" She let out a soft sound as Yun Xi's head tilted slightly. How was she still alive?
The scene before she took her own life was still vivid in her memory. She vaguely remembered perishing in Lin Feng's kiss, her life fading away, leaving with a trace of regret, as if it had happened just yesterday. Yet, she also had a strange feeling, as if those scenes had occurred long ago, as long and distant as an entire era.
Her stiff hands and feet slowly began to move again. Yun Xi sat up straight and looked around. It was a very simple room, seemingly connected to a secret chamber. Her injuries had completely healed. In fact, she vaguely felt that her internal energy had grown stronger, and even her perception seemed much sharper than before. This gave her a dreamlike feeling, as if she had just woken from a dream.
She lifted her foot. The first step felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, but she finally pushed forward and stepped out. Gradually, her steps grew lighter as she quickly adapted and walked toward the outside of the room.
Outside the room was a beautiful courtyard, with rockeries, pavilions, a pond with lotus flowers, and a figure standing with hands clasped behind his back in the sunlight. Bathed in the sunlight, that back carried a hint of desolation, standing motionless as if lost in thought.
Yun Xi looked at the figure standing there quietly and felt quite shaken. She had the illusion that this slightly desolate figure had become part of heaven and earth, merging with the universe. In the past, even the senior experts of her Falling Xia Sect had never given her such a mysterious feeling. This person's strength must be extremely formidable.
Just then, that figure slowly turned around, revealing a handsome and refined face. His eyes were deep yet clear, carrying a gentle smile that made Yun Xi's heart tremble involuntarily.
"You're awake." A soft voice came from Lin Feng's mouth, leaving Yun Xi frozen in place.
"Lin... Feng!" As if after a long time, Yun Xi finally managed to utter those two words with difficulty. Not only was she alive, but Lin Feng was also alive and well, not dead at the hands of the Falling Xia Sect members.
"We're both still alive." She murmured to herself in her heart, and then a simple, radiant smile bloomed on Yun Xi's face. She hadn't died, and Falling Xia Sect hadn't killed Lin Feng either.
"Is your body feeling any discomfort?" Lin Feng asked. Yun Xi shook her head, then looked at Lin Feng and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't convince my sect elders. How are they now? Did they hurt you?"
Lin Feng's lips moved, and then he smiled bitterly. Yun Xi had been frozen for several years; how could she know what happened afterward? Perhaps she still thought they were in Tianluo Ancient City.
"Yun Xi, you've been unconscious for several years. This is no longer Tianluo Ancient City, but my hometown, Yangzhou City. Falling Xia Sect also disbanded a long time ago." Lin Feng didn't say that Falling Xia Sect had been destroyed, but used the word "disbanded," not wanting to add sadness to this innocent, kind-hearted girl. Once, because she couldn't convince the Falling Xia Sect people to spare his life, she had taken her own life, nearly ending herself.
"I... have been unconscious for several years?" Yun Xi was stunned by Lin Feng's words. No wonder she felt so strange. And Lin Feng was completely different now. Just now, Lin Feng's back seemed to merge into heaven and earth. Lin Feng's current strength was probably comparable to the senior experts of her sect. And one of the major powers of the former Snow Moon Kingdom, her sect Falling Xia Sect, had disbanded?
"Mm. Yun Xi, let's go for a walk outside." Lin Feng walked to Yun Xi's side and took her hand, causing her body to stiffen slightly. Then she lowered her head, seemingly remembering the scene before she took her own life when she asked Lin Feng to kiss her, and a hint of shyness appeared on her face.
Walking through this newly built, vast imperial palace, Yun Xi discovered that the heaven and earth origin energy here was very rich. Moreover, there were often soldiers patrolling. When they saw Lin Feng, they all showed extremely respectful expressions, standing solemnly to the side, quietly waiting for Lin Feng to walk far away before they would lift their feet again to continue their patrol.
What also surprised Yun Xi was that the people moving about here all seemed to be very powerful, with strong auras that felt unfathomable to her. It seemed as if everyone's cultivation level far exceeded hers, making her wonder what kind of place this was—a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, with experts as numerous as clouds. Yet they all showed such respect to Lin Feng, a respect that came from the heart. What was Lin Feng's identity?
Lin Feng brought Yun Xi to the place where his parents were healing. By now, Yi Xue had fully recovered. Seeing Lin Feng walking together with Yun Xi, her eyes paused. She hadn't expected that the young master had even saved the frozen girl.
"Young Master." Yi Xue walked to Lin Feng's side and called out. This was the first time Yun Xi had heard someone address Lin Feng directly. Others were all respectful, with awe in their expressions, but none had directly addressed Lin Feng.
"Young Master? Could Lin Feng be a disciple of some great family who went to Tianluo Ancient City for training?" Yun Xi guessed.
At this moment, Yue Menghe and Lin Hai had also gradually recovered from their damaged injuries. They both opened their eyes, their gazes brilliant, radiating dazzling luster. Not only had their cultivation levels not regressed, but they had actually grown stronger. Their bloodlines were vigorous and powerful, their internal energy surging like vast waves, and their soul perception had become sharper. This feeling was very comfortable.
Now, many figures had gathered around. They had been watching from a distance at first, only daring to approach after Lin Hai and Yue Menghe had fully recovered. They looked at Lin Feng with admiration in their eyes. His cultivation had been crippled, yet now he was completely restored. The pills Lin Feng had refined were truly miraculous.
"All recovered. Good, good!" Yue Qingshan's white hair fluttered in the wind. Seeing Yue Menghe and Lin Hai completely restored, his face flushed with excitement.
"Feng Ge."
"Brother Lin Feng." Several figures walked to Lin Feng's side, their faces all carrying joyful smiles.
Lin Feng looked at these familiar faces, as if returning to those years past, those days of youthful recklessness.
"Han Man, Po Jun, Jing Yun, Duan Feng." Lin Feng punched each of them on the shoulder. The four of them—Han Man and Po Jun still wore bronze masks, but the eyes exposed outside were extremely sharp. As for Duan Feng and Jing Yun, they had shed their former immaturity and matured a great deal. Clearly, they hadn't wasted these days idly; they had all been training and growing outside.
When Lin Feng's reputation as a sovereign spread through every street and alley, they naturally heard it too. So they had all rushed back from various places, leading to this reunion.
"Feng Ge, you're getting more and more powerful." Han Man punched Lin Feng back hard, but it felt like hitting steel. Even his fist ached slightly, making him extremely frustrated.
"I still can't remove the masks for you and Po Jun. What right do I have to call myself powerful?" Lin Feng shook his head. Han Man and Po Jun still bore slave brands on their faces, and he still couldn't remove them.
"Heh, I'm used to it by now." Han Man laughed carelessly, appearing especially carefree.
Lin Feng shook his head slightly. He had to remove the masks from Han Man and Po Jun's faces and let them stand tall and proud.
"Jing Yun, you've become even more beautiful." Lin Feng smiled at Jing Yun. Hearing Lin Feng's words, Jing Yun actually showed a hint of shyness, her cheeks slightly red, still like the young girl of before.
"And Duan Feng, your cultivation has surpassed Han Man's." Lin Feng's gaze fell on Po Jun. In the past, Duan Feng had shown extraordinary talent, and with the power of his bloodline martial soul, it wasn't surprising that he had surpassed Han Man. Now, Duan Feng had already reached the Fifth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm. In Snow Moon Kingdom, that made him a formidable expert, extremely rare.
"Feng Ge, this kid is a freak." Han Man said gloomily. "Po Jun has always trained harder than me, and now he's only at the same level as this kid."
Duan Feng scratched his head, seeming a bit embarrassed. Although he had trained outside for a few years, in front of Lin Feng, he still felt like a child.
Lin Feng's gaze shifted to a figure not far away. There stood an upright figure, sharp as a blade, motionless and silent.
"Ba Dao, come here." Lin Feng called out to that figure. Only then did Ba Dao lift his feet and walk to Lin Feng's side, looking at the familiar figure before him. In the past, when Lin Feng had freed him from slavery, his cultivation level was even lower than Ba Dao's. But now, Lin Feng had grown to a level that made Snow Moon Kingdom tremble.
"Sixth Layer of Mysterious Martial Realm. Not bad." Lin Feng patted Ba Dao on the shoulder.
Feeling Lin Feng's warmth, Ba Dao's calm eyes finally showed a faint smile. After not seeing each other for so long, he had actually missed Lin Feng. Having a goal made him keep pursuing it.
