Chapter 1228 The Governor’s Proposal
No matter how much he blamed himself or how reluctant he felt, Lin Feng still painfully uttered that sentence:
“My wife and daughter were taken by an elder from North Sacred Mountain. I must go rescue them!”
Upon hearing this,
The dozen or so Qingyun spirits were stunned.
They apparently hadn’t expected that Lin Feng had come to them this time for this matter. The Four Sacred Mountains weren’t ordinary powers—they had existed since ancient times, and except for East Sacred Mountain, the other three mountains had been loyal followers of that Immortal back then.
“I’m sorry! But I truly have no other choice!”
Lin Feng spoke with tears streaming down his face.
Looking at these senior predecessors,
His heart ached more than anyone else’s!
“Child, there’s no need to struggle with this decision. If it weren’t for the person behind you back then, we would have perished in that catastrophe long ago.”
“The path of immortality is governed by cause and effect. Our survival until today has its reasons! Perhaps this is the meaning of our existence!”
Several Qingyun spirits slowly explained.
“We understand the situation. When do you plan to go to North Sacred Mountain?”
Qingyun Zi asked.
“Three days from now!”
Lin Feng lowered his head.
“Good! You may go… Three days later, we will come!”
Qingyun Zi nodded.
Hearing these words, Lin Feng kowtowed heavily three more times. As he rose, he secretly wiped the tears from his eyes and departed with heavy steps.
The group of Qingyun spirits watched Lin Feng leave, their aged faces filled with melancholy.
“Has it really come to this moment? I originally thought confrontation with the Sacred Mountains would happen on the path to immortality! Never expected such an incident would occur…”
“Why would North Sacred Mountain abduct his wife and daughter? Could they be trying to trigger chaos ahead of schedule? Or are they deliberately targeting us?”
“Since this has already happened, there’s no need to investigate further! I’m more concerned about what we should do.”
Qingyun Zi listened to his old friends’ words in silence.
After a pause, he said softly:
“Let’s have Qingyun Supreme Elder end his seclusion early. As the last generation master of Qingyun Sect, only he can use the Soul-Summoning Banner…”
“Our Qingyun lineage is inferior to none!!”
Upon hearing this, the many Qingyun spirits nodded slightly, their gazes reaching into the mortal world. The evening breeze blew across their aged faces, stirring up a touch of sadness and loss.
Because only they knew
What using the Soul-Summoning Banner meant!
They were merely remnant souls,
And the Soul-Summoning Banner could gather scattered soul energy from heaven and earth, allowing their spiritual souls to reach peak condition,
But doing so,
Would ultimately require paying a price!!
Lin Feng had thought that this journey to the Taixu Realm would surely allow him to find his wife and daughter, to help the Qin Emperor, Han Emperor, and defeat his enemies, but reality had dealt him a heavy blow!
The Taixu Realm was full of hidden powers, a gathering place for ancient masters!
An immortal had fallen here, giving birth to the Taixu Forbidden Zone,
And the immortal path that made cultivators throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths tremble in fear seemed to be just a minor opportunity in the eyes of the Taixu Realm’s powerful beings.
The next morning.
Lin Feng returned to his homeland, Great Xia,
It was still a bustling modern metropolis, though because of the spiritual awakening, there were clearly many more cultivators in the mortal world!
Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Nascent Soul
The scene of cultivation poverty when he had descended the mountain years ago seemed still before his eyes, as if it were yesterday, stirring countless emotions within him.
“Look, that person’s face seems so familiar!”
“Damn, he really does look familiar, like the National Guardian Saint—Lin Feng, Lord Lin!”
“Could it really be him? Lord Lin once swept through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths undefeated, destroyed the Japanese nation, and suppressed many divine races from daring to invade our Great Xia, which is why Great Xia is now flourishing!”
“Not long ago, the eight Governors and the heroes of the Heaven-Earth Alliance jointly decided to honor him as Great Xia’s Guardian Divine Lord! There’s even a statue of Lord Lin in the capital now!”
On the street,
Some cultivators looked at Lin Feng and discussed among themselves.
Regarding that time period, several years had indeed passed, and many rising talents didn’t recognize Lin Feng, but had heard about him through various channels, about those heart-stirring deeds!
Lin Feng felt neither joy nor sorrow at the discussions around him.
He had returned this time merely to pass through Great Xia briefly, to see his homeland,
Because he didn’t know if he would have another chance to see it again.
Lin Feng followed his previous footsteps for a very long time, seeing many places in his homeland. He went to Jinling, to the capital, to Jiangnan, and also to Yunchuan.
By noon,
He was preparing to leave Yunchuan for Penglai Immortal Island.
But at that moment,
An excited yet trembling voice called out to Lin Feng:
“Bro…Brother-in-law! Is that you?”
Lin Feng paused and turned around to see a woman wearing a plain dress with a beautiful, charming face. She was holding the hand of a two or three-year-old child, apparently just returning from shopping.
“Yishui.”
Lin Feng squeezed out a smile.
“Brother-in-law! It really is you! You’re back…”
His sister-in-law Chen Yishui was extremely excited. She wanted to rush into Lin Feng’s arms like before, but the little boy beside her interrupted with a question.
“Mom, who is this big uncle?”
Chen Yishui calmed down.
She was married now, no longer the innocent little girl she once was. As a wife now, rushing into her brother-in-law’s arms would be inappropriate.
“And who is this?”
Lin Feng looked at the little boy, feeling somewhat familiar.
“Brother-in-law, he’s my son, named Xiaotian. During the time you were in the Taixu Realm, I married Yun Lie.”
Chen Yishui tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear and said softly.
Lin Feng was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, but then smiled!
This was good!
His little sister-in-law had finally found a good home,
Yun Lie was a good person.
“Wow, are you the great uncle-in-law everyone keeps talking about?”
Xiaotian exclaimed, looking at Lin Feng with admiration.
Lin Feng picked Xiaotian up, ruffled his little head, and said softly:
“What’s great is not the person, but what they do.”
The news of Lin Feng’s return was eventually spread by Chen Yishui.
In no time,
The already magnificent hall of the Chen family in Yunchuan gathered countless people.
These people were all powerful figures from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, rushing from all over Great Xia just to catch a glimpse of the legendary National Guardian Saint!
Lin Feng sat at the front, looking at one face after another,
There were familiar faces like his father-in-law Chen Shan, Bai Ran, Yun Lie, and others,
There were many unfamiliar faces of newly promoted talents,
And there were many faces he would never see again—Dog Leftovers, Divine Pupil Venerable, Huntian Grand Sage, Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother, and other figures appeared in his mind.
Thinking of Yinuo and little Lian’er,
Lin Feng felt immense sadness.
Shortly after,
The Eight Governors also arrived!
Lin Feng sat with the Eight Governors, discussing their recent experiences.
“Lin Feng, you must have returned for something important, right?”
Qingzhou Governor, True Person Mingde, suddenly asked.
He had detected a deathly stillness in Lin Feng’s expression and felt something bad must have happened.
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, but still revealed the matter!
“What? Attack North Sacred Mountain?”
The Eight Governors’ expressions changed slightly.
Although they hadn’t visited the Taixu Realm many times due to their responsibilities, they had heard of the Sacred Mountains!
“Lin Feng, I know your strength has greatly improved, but trying to challenge the mighty North Sacred Mountain now would be like a floating leaf trying to shake a tree!”
True Person Mingde said very seriously.
Lin Feng nodded silently.
True Person Mingde pondered for a moment, glanced at his seven old friends beside him, as if making some determination, and continued:
“However, it’s not impossible. I have a solution, one that the Human Emperor specifically instructed us about before his passing! It was to be used only when you encountered difficulties you couldn’t resolve!”
