Chapter 931: Eight Wastelands Ten Domains, Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms
At the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly, the Martial Emperor's disciple appeared, the Void Fire Ye Xu's Flame emerged, and the news of the demonic path youth seizing the flame spread rapidly after that day. The Qian Domain was once again in an uproar, with countless people rushing toward Worry-Free Ancient City. It was said that the Martial Emperor's disciple was even going to invite his senior brother, an even more formidable Martial Emperor's disciple, to take the lead in this Ten Thousand Sects Assembly.
It seemed that this time, the Heavenly Lake was truly doomed.
The people of Heavenly Lake had actually hidden among the crowd to secretly help others seize the Ye Xu's Flame, and the Martial Emperor's disciple would not let Heavenly Lake off.
Worry-Free Mountain Villa gathered countless powerful individuals, and the Worry-Free Mountain within the villa had also become extremely lively. Many people were cultivating on this Flame Mountain, especially some flame cultivators. It was even said that many had obtained some powerful flames born from the Ye Xu's Flame. Although these flames were far less powerful than the Void Fire, they still had a significant effect on many flame cultivators.
Today, with only one day left until the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly seven days later, a figure stepped out from the continuous Flame Mountain within Worry-Free Mountain Villa. This person had a sallow complexion with a hint of sickly aura, but the demonic beast beside him gave people a strong sense of intimidation.
This was a massive ancient ferocious beast, a Qiongqi, with a fierce and ferocious appearance. The fiery spikes all over its body sent chills down one's spine, and the fiery fur of this Qiongqi actually carried a hint of dark red, giving a strong visual impact.
"Hmm, it's him. He's still here." Some recognized Lin Feng. This sickly-looking young man had shone brilliantly at the previous Ten Thousand Sects Assembly, looking down on the Martial Emperor's disciple. He and his master had even tried to vie for the position of leader of the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly.
"This ferocious beast is actually an ancient one, with such a powerful aura. Do you know this young man?" Some newcomers who didn't know Lin Feng asked others.
"Of course I do. Anyone who attended the last Ten Thousand Sects Assembly knows this person. Don't underestimate his sickly complexion. This man's combat power is extremely terrifying. Even though he was only at the First Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, he dared to fight against a Martial Emperor's disciple at the Third Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, treating the Martial Emperor's disciple as nothing, even speaking contemptuously of them. Not only him, but this man's master was also arrogant and domineering, extremely powerful, even fighting against the Carefree Sect Leader. Master and disciple both wanted to seize the position of leader of this Ten Thousand Sects Assembly." Someone said with excitement, recalling the scene of Lin Feng and his master's high-spirited performance on the stage of the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly that day.
"So formidable? But I see his cultivation is at the Second Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm."
"Hmm?" The speaker paused, then looked carefully and couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart. "He really has reached the Second Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. In just six days, he has broken through again. This person is indeed terrifying. I'm afraid his combat power can now truly match a Martial Emperor's disciple. I wonder if his master will appear again at tomorrow's Ten Thousand Sects Assembly, with master and disciple vying for the position of leader."
"That shouldn't be possible. This time, that Tianlin Gongzi might call on some powerful experts for help."
"Perhaps."
Many people discussed Lin Feng after seeing him, because he had been too outstanding that day, impossible not to recognize. Anyone who had watched that Ten Thousand Sects Assembly knew him.
Lin Feng was very calm, his figure flickering through the Flame Mountain, not caring at all. That day, he had seized the Ye Xu's Flame as the demonic path youth, and no one had recognized him. Probably no one knew except for Snow Venerable and Qiongqi. Lin Feng had absolute trust in Snow Venerable. His teacher had once broken with Tianshu Zi for him when he came out of the secret realm, facing many Heavenly Lake leaders alone, designating him as the successor of the Tian Xuan lineage, and even giving him the Tian Xuan Stone, a treasure of the Tian Xuan lineage. How could Lin Feng forget such kindness?
"Brother Lin." At this moment, a voice reached Lin Feng's ears. Lin Feng turned his gaze and saw the Hua siblings there. A smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Hua."
"Brother Lin actually stayed to cultivate on this Flame Mountain instead of leaving." The Hua young man was quite surprised. Lin Feng had offended Tianlin Gongzi that day, and his words had also displeased the other Martial Emperor's disciples. Now that Tianlin Gongzi was going to invite a powerful senior brother, he had thought Lin Feng would leave quietly, but instead, Lin Feng appeared openly.
"Brother Lin, this demonic beast companion of yours, the Qiongqi, seems to have improved its realm by more than a little." The Hua young man smiled at Lin Feng. Last time he saw this Qiongqi, it was still a relatively weak Mysterious Beast, and now it had directly become a Heavenly Demon. The span was too great.
"If you want to see, I can have my companion return to the Mysterious Beast realm right now." Lin Feng said calmly with a faint smile, making the Hua young man pause for a moment, then he laughed heartily. "I see. Brother Lin's companion has also cultivated such powerful concealment techniques. Then Brother Lin's cultivation that day was only at the First Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, and now it's at the Second Layer. That makes sense."
The Hua young man didn't doubt Lin Feng's words. It was impossible for a mid-rank Mysterious Beast to become a Heavenly Demon in just a few days. He certainly wouldn't think that an ordinary Mysterious Beast could swallow the Ye Xu's Flame. At the same time, he naturally assumed that Lin Feng had also concealed his cultivation that day. This way, Lin Feng's powerful combat power could make him feel relatively calmer.
The impact of the demonic path youth that day on his mind had been considerable, and Lin Feng had also looked down on the Martial Emperor's disciples. If they were all that abnormal, it would indeed be discouraging for them, the Martial Emperor's disciples.
Lin Feng gave a noncommittal smile, not denying anything. He didn't have a deep friendship with the other party, and he didn't even know the character of this Martial Emperor's disciple. There was no need to explain too much. Let them think whatever they wanted.
"It seems that Brother Lin will still participate in tomorrow's Ten Thousand Sects Assembly?" The Hua young man asked tentatively.
"If someone is arrogant and overbearing, I naturally can't help but make a move." Lin Feng didn't deny it.
"Then Brother Lin's teacher probably hasn't left either. To be honest, Brother Lin, it's best not to get involved this time. The expert Tianlin Gongzi has invited this time is probably even more powerful than the Carefree Sect Leader. Tianlin Gongzi is determined to get the position of leader."
"We'll see." Lin Feng didn't answer. If this matter had nothing to do with Heavenly Lake, he wouldn't bother to participate. But since their goal in forming this Ten Thousand Sects Assembly was to destroy Heavenly Lake, how could he stand by and watch? Moreover, Lin Feng clearly knew that their ultimate goal was actually him, Lin Feng.
He didn't expect that the expert Tianlin Gongzi had invited was even more powerful than the Carefree Sect Leader. It seemed this time would be really difficult to handle.
"Brother Lin, since you have your own plans, let's not talk about this. Brother Lin, some talented youths have come from where we came from. You, like us, are a rare genius. Come with me for a walk, and you can make some connections with these talented individuals, which will be convenient for you when you travel outside in the future."
The Hua young man said with a smile. He genuinely wanted to befriend Lin Feng, just based on Lin Feng's strength, which was worth his attention.
As for the grudge between Lin Feng and Tianlin Gongzi, he didn't care much, since his relationship with Tianlin Gongzi wasn't exactly harmonious either.
"Alright." Lin Feng nodded slightly. Since he had nothing to do, he might as well go see what kind of formidable characters these so-called talented youths were.
The Hua siblings walked side by side with Lin Feng, with Qiongqi following beside him, transmitting a message to Lin Feng: "Kid, hurry up and leave this broken place of Qian Domain. This Emperor will take you out to explore. The Eight Wastelands Ten Domains outside Holy City Central Continent, the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms—any of them is infinitely more powerful than this Qian Domain. Follow me to my old territory, and I guarantee no one will dare bully you."
"Stop nagging. I'll go when I want to." Lin Feng replied to Qiongqi. This guy was probably thinking all day about how to get stronger. Seeing Qiongqi's strength skyrocket after swallowing the Ye Xu's Flame, he had to be a bit more cautious. This guy had countless tricks up his sleeve. He couldn't let him break the Sealing Technique; otherwise, the sky would be the limit, and who knew what would happen. He had to be able to suppress him.
