Chapter 956: Farewell
Time flows like a rushing river.
In just three days,
during which the human race was busy preparing to establish the Heavenly Earth Alliance while also sending people to hunt down the traitors of the Beishan Sect.
“Have you heard? The founding ancestor of the Beishan Sect, Ni Fangyu, received news in advance and escaped…”
“It’s said that Ni Fangyu is about to reach the fourth level of power. His escape is not good news for us…”
“Sigh! There’s nothing we can do. If a strong person of that level is determined to escape, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to pursue…”
Many cultivators outside were discussing fervently.
Although the Beishan Sect had been destroyed, the founding ancestor had taken advantage of the chaos to flee,
like a hidden venomous snake that could strike at any moment, leaving the cultivators of the spirit realm in a state of panic.
At this moment,
in a magnificent hall.
Lin Feng was sitting on a wooden carved chair, listening to Yun Lie recount the news from the outside world, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, producing a series of thumping sounds.
“According to internal sources, Ni Fangyu didn’t escape in advance but rather broke through a path to survival under the siege of many strong cultivators!”
“He must have used some method, as even Senior Zhao Chenyang couldn’t stop him.”
Yun Lie said gravely.
“Zhao Chenyang was seriously injured in the battle at the Wailing Abyss, so it’s normal that he couldn’t stop him.”
Lin Feng didn’t seem to care.
Yun Lie nodded in response, then after a moment of thought, continued:
“It’s said that the two-way passage to the Wailing Abyss has been completely opened, and some warriors from the ancestral lands have even come to the spirit realm…”
“Therefore, the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce has decided to hold the alliance conference tonight to avoid any unexpected events! On one hand, they want to elect a leader, and on the other hand, they intend to recruit troops to hunt down Ni Fangyu…”
“Alright! I understand… You can go back to your own matters now.”
Lin Feng rubbed his temples, his expression slightly weary.
So much had happened during this time that he felt unprecedented fatigue,
so he wanted to be alone for a while to sort out his thoughts; as for the Heavenly Earth Alliance, he didn’t care at all.
But Yun Lie didn’t leave, standing there with a hesitant expression, looking as if he wanted to say something but held back!
In the end,
he spoke up:
“Lin Ge, the Heavenly Earth Alliance is not a trivial matter. Whoever becomes the leader will be able to lead the major forces in the spirit realm and command countless human cultivators…”
“And then?”
Lin Feng’s expression remained unchanged.
“I’ve already asked the Lingyun Immortal and the Yao Guang Saint Lord. If you’re willing, they will unanimously support you as the leader… This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
Yun Lie’s gaze suddenly became fervent.
As a man, who wouldn’t want to hold a high position of power?
Now that a great opportunity lay before him… he really hoped Lin Feng would seize it,
and as long as Lin Feng became the leader, he, as Lin Feng’s follower, would undoubtedly gain supreme glory.
Even,
to restore his former sect!
“Let’s talk about it later…”
Lin Feng didn’t show much interest.
“But…”
Yun Lie wanted to persuade him further,
but upon seeing Lin Feng’s increasingly cold expression, he immediately took the hint and fell silent.
“Xiao Lie, all things in the world are illusions; only the self is real! Don’t go down the wrong path…”
Who is Lin Feng?
He could guess Yun Lie’s little thoughts just by using his intuition.
Although becoming the leader of the Heavenly Earth Alliance would indeed be glorious, it also meant bearing immense responsibility, which was not what Lin Feng sought.
“Got it!”
Yun Lie sighed and turned to leave.
Watching Yun Lie depart,
Lin Feng’s gaze gradually deepened.
As his strength increased, the things he encountered became broader, and he was gradually getting closer to the secrets hidden in this world.
“Becoming an immortal is so difficult.”
Lin Feng sighed,
then stood up, looking toward the distant horizon, murmuring:
“I wonder how the Little Tower is doing now?”
“Senior Ye Xuan, with just a projection of his true self, dares to challenge the Divine Clan. Truly remarkable!”
While lost in thought,
a faint sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Lin Feng turned to look, and his second senior sister was walking toward him, followed by the sixth senior brother, Feng Muchen!
After a few days of rest,
Feng Muchen’s injuries had healed,
but the ghostly seals placed on him by the Heavenly Spirit Emperor still remained, densely etched on his handsome face, looking quite eerie.
“Second Senior Sister, Sixth Senior Brother, what brings you here?”
Lin Feng smiled and asked.
“Xiao Feng, we’re here to say goodbye…”
The second senior sister said softly.
“Goodbye?”
Lin Feng was taken aback.
“Indeed! Now that the Wailing Abyss has been cleared, the spirit realm and the ancestral lands are connected, so I want to return to Kunlun for a visit…”
The second senior sister forced a smile, feeling very reluctant.
But she knew she could no longer stay by her junior brother’s side,
now she was just a burden, and staying here would only have a counterproductive effect,
and in recent days, the Yao Guang Saintess often came to see her junior brother. Watching the two of them laugh and talk made her heart ache, and she didn’t want to endure this mental and moral torment any longer.
“Let’s wait a few days. When the Little Tower returns, I’ll go back with you…”
Lin Feng smiled and said.
“Still no!”
The second senior sister firmly refused.
Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, then silently watched the second senior sister without responding.
The second senior sister seemed unable to bear Lin Feng’s gaze and turned her head away.
Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled again and turned to Feng Muchen, asking:
“What about you, Sixth Senior Brother?”
“I’m going back to the Yunchuan Ten Thousand Great Mountains…”
Feng Muchen’s tone was stiff.
After witnessing Lin Feng’s fierce battle with many fourth-level powerhouses, he realized he could never be Lin Feng’s opponent in this lifetime,
and with his strong sense of pride, he chose to escape.
“But the ghostly seals on your face…”
“You don’t need to worry about that! Just take care of yourself…”
Feng Muchen said and turned to leave.
“Junior Brother, take good care of yourself!”
The second senior sister cast a glance filled with regret at Lin Feng before also chasing after him.
Not long after,
the two walked side by side, disappearing from Lin Feng’s sight.
Lin Feng stood silently at the door,
watching the two grow distant, feeling indescribable emotions in his heart.
At this moment,
he suddenly recalled what Chen Beixuan had once said to him:
The path of the strong is destined to be lonely,
those simple and beautiful things will gradually drift away from you, like sand in your palm; no matter how tightly you hold it, it will slowly slip through your fingers.
Night soon fell.
The entire Lingyun City was enveloped in brilliant lights,
the streets bustling with traffic and lively voices, a scene of great excitement.
These were cultivators who had rushed in from all over the spirit realm in the past three days, with various levels of cultivation—merging, great ascension, tribulation… everywhere to be seen!
It could be said that Lingyun City had gathered most of the high-ranking figures of the spirit realm, and all the prominent forces had come here to attend the alliance conference!
At this moment,
these strong cultivators were all heading toward one place—the headquarters of the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce, the Qitian Pavilion!
