# Chapter 912: Carefree Mountain

In the central area of Carefree Ancient City, there was a mountain villa called Carefree Mountain Villa, which was extremely famous in Carefree Ancient City. Legend had it that this Carefree Mountain Villa was once a holy land of Carefree Ancient City, possessing terrifyingly powerful cultivators. However, later on, Carefree Mountain Villa declined and gradually became ordinary. The people of Carefree Mountain Villa were not as famous as the villa itself.

The interior of Carefree Mountain Villa was extremely vast, like a small city, with countless people coming and going. Carefree Mountain Villa was the location chosen by several overlord forces to hold the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly.

One reason was that Carefree Mountain Villa was larger; the second reason was Carefree Mountain within the villa. Carefree Mountain was once a cultivation holy land, with three giant peaks standing like a tripod within the villa. Between the three peaks lay an extremely vast plain area, a hundred miles of land that could be seen through at a single glance without any obstruction. Holding the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly here was extremely suitable.

Now, the number of people coming and going to Carefree Mountain Villa was extremely large. Everyone in Carefree Mountain Villa was doing their utmost to receive guests, but they still seemed overwhelmed. In the many restaurants and inns built within Carefree Mountain Villa, martial cultivators would often have friction with each other. With many people, conflicts were bound to arise, especially among martial artists who were competitive by nature.

There were still three days until the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly was held. After Lin Feng had gathered information, he also came to Carefree Mountain Villa. However, among the crowd, he rarely spoke and kept a very low profile. Occasionally, he would sit in a restaurant and drink a few cups of wine, belonging to the type that would not attract anyone's attention. At most, someone might occasionally cast a greedy glance at the fierce beast Qiongqi by his side.

At night, Carefree Mountain Villa was brightly lit, but near Carefree Mountain, it was quite peaceful. Many martial cultivators cultivated on the three Carefree Mountains without interfering with each other, and occasionally, people would stroll through the extremely vast area.

At this moment, Lin Feng had brought Qiongqi and Xue Linglong here. Qiongqi followed behind Lin Feng very unhappily, occasionally roaring at him twice, while Xue Linglong still liked to quietly lie on Lin Feng's shoulder.

Glancing at the high platform that had already been built, Lin Feng seemed to be able to see the Jade Emperor Royal Clan and the East Sea Dragon Palace people here summoning thousands of sects to attack the Divine Palace. A cold glint flickered in his eyes. Lin Feng said to Qiongqi, "Can you carve a sacred killing formation underground that can be triggered at any time?"

"Idiot. Now that there are so many martial cultivators here, although I, the Emperor, can arrange a sacred killing formation silently after it's completed, during the arrangement, I will definitely need to use Essence Crystals, and the aura of essence will be released. Do you think everyone here is as stupid as you?"

Qiongqi said in a low voice, causing Lin Feng to fall into deep thought. What Qiongqi said was not wrong. If he used Essence Crystals, it would definitely alarm the venerables in Carefree Mountain Villa, and then they would be in trouble.

"However, I, the Emperor, have boundless divine abilities. If I first carve sacred patterns around to shield the fluctuations of power, even venerables won't be able to sense anything." Qiongqi raised his head high and added another sentence, leaving Lin Feng stunned.

This beast, showing off again!

But at this moment, a trace of a smile appeared on Lin Feng's face. He looked at Qiongqi and said, "You are the exalted Yan Di. Such a small matter should not be difficult for you."

Hearing Lin Feng's flattering words, Qiongqi became even more arrogant, secretly despising Lin Feng. When it came to the critical moment, he still had to rely on him.

"You want me to do this, that's fine. First, accompany me to find the location marked on the map and see if there's anything I, the Emperor, need." Qiongqi took the opportunity to negotiate terms with Lin Feng.

"Damn beast." Lin Feng cursed in his heart, but said, "Fine, but time is very tight here. As long as you arrange everything here, if there's enough time, I will immediately take you to search for the treasure."

Qiongqi stared at Lin Feng, a fierce light flickering in his eyes. "Fine. If you dare to deceive me, the Emperor, I will definitely screw you over in the future."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't deceive you." Lin Feng cursed inwardly. This guy was ruthless enough.

As one person and one beast spoke, they gradually arrived at the high platform area. Lin Feng had already given the Storage Ring containing the Essence Crystals to Qiongqi. To destroy this Ten Thousand Sects Assembly, they would rely on this guy.

"Qiongqi." Several figures walked over from the opposite side of Lin Feng. The robe worn by the person who spoke was quite strange, half fire and half ice. When his gaze fell on Qiongqi, Qiongqi let out a low roar, then lowered his head and continued walking forward.

Lin Feng curiously glanced at this young man and passed by him. Another freak. Young in age, his cultivation was the same as the white-robed youth he had seen last time, at the Third Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. And the people following him were all young, but none had a cultivation below the Heavenly Martial Realm.

After the other party disappeared, Qiongqi said to Lin Feng in a low voice, "This young man is very powerful. You need to be careful when encountering him. His body contains extremely powerful flame power, but it's not pure flame—half ice, half fire."

"Oh?" Lin Feng's eyes paused, surprised in his heart. Even Qiongqi warned him that this young man was very powerful, so he must be truly extraordinary. Half ice, half fire, the fusion of ice and fire. This reminded Lin Feng of Lin Qian from the Lin Clan. Lin Qian's physique was also quite extraordinary, possessing an ice and fire same-source martial soul. Unfortunately, she was arrogant and conceited, thinking highly of herself with low cultivation. He didn't know how she was doing now.

"Alright, you can go down and start now." Lin Feng said again. Qiongqi nodded his head, then his body slowly sank into the ground. The fierce aura on his body was actually concealed, with no trace of energy released. Unless someone was constantly monitoring this place, it would be impossible to discover him.

Lin Feng waited quietly above. He didn't doubt Qiongqi's strength. The terrifying killing power in the Yangzhou City Imperial Palace had already proven Qiongqi's incredible abilities. An emperor was still an emperor, but this guy's temper was a bit too foul.

What Lin Feng worried about was Qiongqi being discovered.

Time passed bit by bit. Lin Feng kept watch above, spreading out his powerful divine sense. At first, he could see Qiongqi's movements, carving mysterious patterns underground. But later on, Lin Feng found that even his divine sense could no longer detect Qiongqi. There, it seemed like nothing was there anymore. This surprised Lin Feng. Qiongqi could truly shield everything, which made him feel more at ease.

Lin Feng walked to a certain place nearby and sat down, not attracting attention. It was not until a long time had passed that he opened his eyes. Qiongqi was quietly emerging from the ground, filling in the soil, then swaggering toward him, his huge eyes full of pride.

"Is it done?" Lin Feng asked Qiongqi.

"Nonsense. I, the Emperor, personally took action. How could it not succeed? When the time comes, I, the Emperor, will trigger it and let you see what imperial might is." Qiongqi said seriously, as if he were truly a peerless expert, causing Lin Feng to laugh inwardly.

"Alright, I, the Emperor, have finished my work. Should we set off now?" Qiongqi said to Lin Feng again.

"Fine, let's analyze the map first." Lin Feng took out two maps and put them together. The ordinary map marked many landmark areas very clearly, while the other map, being from three hundred years ago, appeared extremely blurry. Therefore, comparison was needed to find the location more easily.

"Find the mountain range area." Qiongqi was also looking at the two maps. His gaze directly locked onto the position marked on the treasure map, which was within a group of mountains.

However, when Lin Feng looked at the ordinary map, although there were indeed several mountain range areas in Carefree Ancient City, none of them had the continuous mountain range marked on the treasure map.

"Strange." Lin Feng murmured softly, but saw Qiongqi's gaze also flickering continuously, seemingly also noticing the abnormality of the two maps.

"Look here." Qiongqi pointed his finger at the marking on the treasure map, tracing it with a stroke, then marked Carefree Mountain Villa on the ordinary map. That marked location actually seemed somewhat similar.

Qiongqi's eyes widened wide. He had also noticed this. Tracing along the surrounding lines, the area finally circled seemed to indeed be Carefree Mountain Villa. However, Carefree Mountain Villa only had three peaks, while the treasure land had a vast mountain range.

Could it be that Carefree Mountain in Carefree Mountain Villa from several hundred years ago was different from now?
