Chapter 951: Burning Down the Carefree Sect
A terrifying wind howled through the void, causing rumbling sounds wherever it passed, a testament to its incredible speed.
The talisman Lin Feng used was meticulously crafted by the Radiant Peak Master, infusing it with the Essence of Wind. Coupled with the Radiant Peak Master's slight comprehension of Sacred Mark power, it allowed Lin Feng to travel through the air at a speed even more terrifying than his own flying ability.
Yet, even so, Lin Feng had not managed to shake off the Carefree Sect Leader. The Carefree Sect's Carefree Step Art originated from the Carefree Ancient Scripture. Although it wasn't the true version recorded in the scripture, it still retained its essence, containing a wondrous power. Each step seemed to follow a special trajectory. Combined with the Carefree Sect Leader's own formidable cultivation and the hatred of his severed arm, one could imagine how swift his speed was at this moment.
He absolutely had to catch Lin Feng, seize the treasures on him, and then torture Lin Feng to death.
"Old dog, speed it up! You're too slow!" Lin Feng's voice rolled in from afar, stiffening the Carefree Sect Leader's expression. Lin Feng, that bastard, dared to provoke him still.
"I'll make you understand what it means to wish you were dead." A rumbling voice drifted through the void, but because of their extreme speed, it reached Lin Feng's ears indistinctly.
Before long, the two had already covered an unknown distance.
"This old dog is indeed fast enough. The power of this talisman is almost depleted," Lin Feng muttered to himself. With a thought, another talisman appeared in his hand. With a whoosh, he used it without any hesitation. Instantly, the raging Wind Essence enveloped his body again, and his speed showed no sign of slowing.
The two remained locked in a stalemate in the void. Behind them, the five other experts followed, but in terms of pure speed, none could match the Carefree Sect Leader. As a result, their distance grew wider and wider. Eventually, they could only see the Carefree Sect Leader's blurry silhouette, let alone Lin Feng.
Their expressions grew increasingly grim. They wondered if the Carefree Sect Leader could catch Lin Feng. If they all mobilized and still let Lin Feng escape, it would be a huge loss of face. And if the Carefree Sect Leader did catch Lin Feng, wouldn't he monopolize the treasures? He would probably use his speed to flee far away.
Thinking this, they grew even more anxious. They had placed great hope in this operation—to destroy the Heavenly Pool and capture Lin Feng. But now, it seemed to be slipping further and further away.
The group didn't know how long they had been racing through the void. Even the Carefree Sect Leader's speed gradually slowed. Coupled with his injuries, he felt his strength waning, and his heart grew even colder.
Was he really going to watch Lin Feng escape?
His face grew darker and darker. The Carefree Sect Leader watched Lin Feng's figure gradually recede until it disappeared entirely.
Finally, the Carefree Sect Leader stopped. His breathing was slightly uneven, and his expression had reached the depths of gloom. He stood still in place. After a while, figures flew through the air one after another—it was the Dragon Lord and the other experts who had been catching up.
When they saw the Carefree Sect Leader hovering in the void, they also slowed down, their gazes fixed on him.
Escaped? Even so, Lin Feng had escaped?
"Carefree Sect Leader, why did you stop pursuing?" the Emotion Severing Palace Master asked coldly. They had paid such a huge price—his Divine Palace had been destroyed—and now, the Heavenly Pool was still intact, and Lin Feng had escaped? Then what was the point of everything they had done?
The Carefree Sect Leader looked up and shot a cold glare at the Emotion Severing Palace Master. His mood was terrible right now. For the Emotion Severing Palace Master to ask such a pointless question—if he could have caught Lin Feng, wouldn't he have?
The six experts all wore grim, ugly expressions. This time, the Heavenly Pool's reputation would surely resound throughout the Qian Domain, while their own reputations would be tarnished. Several terrifying forces had convened the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly, led countless experts to attack the Heavenly Pool, and yet the final result was too shameful to speak of. The Heavenly Pool had not been destroyed, Lin Feng was fine, and they had suffered countless casualties. Even the Carefree Palace Master had lost an arm.
"What do we do now?" the Emotion Severing Palace Master asked, somewhat numbly. Should he pursue Lin Feng or return to the Heavenly Pool?
"Let's go back to the Heavenly Pool first and see. If there's a chance, we'll massacre the Heavenly Pool Empire together. I don't believe Lin Feng won't come back," the Carefree Sect Leader said coldly. Lin Feng had clearly lured them away from the Heavenly Pool on purpose.
"Alright, let's return to the Heavenly Pool first," the others nodded in agreement. They wondered what had happened after they left. If the people hadn't dispersed yet, they would continue to besiege the Heavenly Pool, preventing anyone from leaving, and then massacre the Heavenly Pool Empire to see if Lin Feng would return.
The idea was good. But when they returned to the Heavenly Pool and saw corpses strewn everywhere, with the crowd long gone, a chill of desolation filled their hearts.
Dead. Countless people lay buried here. As for those who hadn't died, they had long since fled without a trace. Clearly, after they left, the Heavenly Pool had acted decisively, launching a massacre.
At that time, the Heavenly Pool had shown no mercy or pity. These people had come to destroy the Heavenly Pool and even planned to massacre the innocent people of the Heavenly Pool Empire.
The six of them—the strongest six, the last six—ended up leaving with unwillingness. They didn't stay; there was no point. Relying on just the six of them, it was impossible to overthrow the Heavenly Pool.
After all, the peak masters of the seven great snow peaks of the Heavenly Pool, along with the other venerable experts of each main peak, were no weaklings.
In the Qian Domain, Carefree Ancient City was named after the Carefree Sect and had existed for countless years, known to all.
People from the surrounding areas who sought rare treasures would come to Carefree Ancient City.
And now, this ancient city had gained an uninvited guest.
This uninvited guest had a sallow complexion, slightly sickly, but beneath him was a fierce and powerful ancient ferocious beast, a Qiongqi, exuding immense majesty.
Lin Feng stepped on the Qiongqi and went directly to the most famous place in Carefree Ancient City—the Carefree Sect. It was a vast, seemingly endless sect, like a city, spanning a great distance.
After observing from afar in the void for a few glances, Lin Feng left and casually found a tavern in Carefree City to rest. When the night was deep and the city was silent, a figure riding the ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi quietly approached the Carefree Sect from the void.
The Carefree Sect was one of the hegemon-level forces in the Qian Domain, immensely powerful. Therefore, no one had ever dared to cause trouble at the Carefree Sect. Because of this, the small city of the Carefree Sect had no defenses whatsoever—there was no need, as no one had ever dared to touch it.
But on this night, above the Carefree Sect, a flicker of firelight appeared in the tranquil night sky. It was an illusory flame, a dark red flame. Within the flame, the shadows of beasts and humans could be seen, though not clearly, wrapped in the fire.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, someone in the Carefree Sect looked up at the night sky, seeming to notice the flicker of firelight. But they didn't pay it much attention, only feeling a slight surprise and curiosity, wondering what that thing was, appearing above their Carefree Sect.
But then, the flame descended from the void. In an instant, a ball of fire fell into the Carefree Sect, causing the onlookers' eyes to stiffen.
A burst of firelight suddenly bloomed within the Carefree Sect.
At the same time, the flame in the void suddenly began to move rapidly. Dots of firelight continuously fell from the void. In the blink of an eye, terrifying flames blazed and spread. Countless halls caught fire, and endless courtyards and forests crackled and popped.
Fast, too fast. In just a brief moment, a magnificent scene appeared in the void: countless firelights scattered across the sky, falling downward.
"Someone is attacking!" Those who witnessed this stiffened and shouted wildly. Only then did they realize what was happening. Someone... was trying to burn down the Carefree Sect!
They could hardly believe it. But the flames spreading from the void instantly covered the space, igniting the night. In just a few breaths, the entire Carefree Sect was engulfed in flames. The whole sect was burning!
