Chapter 180-182 (Patreon)

180. The reactions from all sides, the might of the Martial Saint, fame shakes the world

Hidden Sword Sect.

On top of a high mountain, Liu Yibai sat quietly with his legs crossed. He was still adjusting his condition. In order to build the foundation, he must adjust his state to the best. Moreover, after the perfection of his physical body, he could continue to absorb the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, converting it into Innate True Qi. During this period, he was converting Innate True Qi. He wanted to push his Innate True Qi to the limit.

Liu Yibai was not in a hurry. He had already achieved perfection in his physical body. He could try to build the foundation at any time. He had waited for this day for thirty years. He did not mind waiting a bit longer. He must be completely sure. Only then would he choose to build the foundation.

"Senior Brother Liu. Three days ago, the Grand Elder of Nine Profound Sect, 'Immortal Slayer Saber' Lin Fei slashed Guardian Primordial Mountain's True Person Yuan Kong Zi with his saber at Nine Profound Sect. The Nine Profound Sect announced that Lin Fei has successfully built the foundation and become a Martial Saint!"

Liu Yibai suddenly raised his head. A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Slashing a foundation establishment cultivator with a saber... Lin Fei, you are always faster than us..."

How could Liu Yibai not be shocked? Initially, the three of them had achieved physical body perfection at the same time. Even, in terms of conditions, the Hidden Sword Sect was definitely better than the Nine Profound Sect.

However, the first one to build the foundation and become a Martial Saint was Lin Fei. Moreover, Lin Fei had done something earth-shaking. He slashed a Foundation Establishment cultivator with his saber as soon as he became a Martial Saint. This is a major event that shocked the world!

"Lin Fei, since you have become a Martial Saint one step ahead of me, I can't fall behind too much. From today, I will try to build the foundation. No one is allowed to disturb me on the mountain!"

Liu Yibai instructed the people of the Hidden Sword Sect. Immediately, the faces of the people of the Hidden Sword Sect lit up with joy. Liu Yibai was finally going to build his foundation! The Hidden Sword Sect was about to give birth to another Martial Saint!

......

In a small city's inn, a carefree saber guest was drinking from his wine gourd, looking out the window.

Shen Lianxin returned to his hometown. A small city, which was also the place he discovered the ancient martial arts ruins. He didn't prepare for the foundation establishment immediately. Instead, he was adjusting his mentality and emotions in the mundane world.

This is his way of martial arts. He was walking on the Extreme Path! The mentality must be relaxed occasionally. Because once he starts cultivating, he would immerse himself fully into it. Being too tense can sometimes be a bad thing. Tension mixed with relaxation is the best!

Shen Lianxin, who had already achieved saber intent perfection, naturally knew this principle. Therefore, the bigger the event, the more relaxed Shen Lianxin was.

At this moment, there were many martial artists dressed in the martial world style in the inn. They seemed to be discussing something intensely, and their expressions were excited.

Shen Lianxin had sharp senses. Even if he wasn't intentionally listening, the discussions of those martial artists would still reach his ears.

"Do you all know? There has been a big event in the martial arts world recently, an earth-shattering event! Just three days ago, news came from the Nine Profound Sect. The Grand Elder of the Nine Profound Sect, the once 'Immortal Slayer Saber' Lin Fei, has finally built the foundation and become a Martial Saint. And, right after becoming a Martial Saint, he slashed Guardian Primordial Mountain's Foundation Establishment True Person Yuan Kong Zi with his saber. The True Person of Foundation Establishment fell! And he was slain by a Martial Saint!"

"Martial Saint? Does our Great Chang really have a Martial Saint again? This is a blessing for Great Chang and for the martial arts!"

"The reputation of the 'Immortal Slayer Saber' is not in vain. He could slash a Qi Condensation cultivator before, and now he has become a Martial Saint, he even slashed a Foundation Establishment True Person..."

For a moment, the martial artists were all very excited. Under the excitement, they drank a few more bowls of wine. A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Lianxin's eyes.

"Brother Lin, have you taken a step ahead of me again? Becoming a Martial Saint and slashing the Foundation Establishment! Indeed, this is your style, Brother Lin! It seems it's about time for me to go into seclusion. I can't fall too far behind you..."

Shen Lianxin murmured softly. He put away his smile. There was no longer any carefree aura about him. He flicked his fingers. A small piece of silver landed on the table of a few martial artists.

"Today is on me!"

After saying that, Shen Lianxin rose and fell a few times, disappearing from everyone's sight. A few martial artists were slightly stunned. Seeing that piece of silver, embedded in the table, who would not know that they had met a master?

"Thank you, senior!"

Several martial artists bowed respectfully in the direction where Shen Lianxin had disappeared.

...

In Chang City, the South King's Mansion.

"Report, the southern three prefectures are in rebellion. Mo Wentian, the head of the rebels, has betrayed the officials and has currently seized three prefectures."

"Report, the southeastern rebel leader, Liu Shuxian, is rallying troops in rebellion, and has currently captured two prefectures."

With each successive piece of bad news, Ling Yao was at her wit's end. Recently, especially since the Supreme Elder's passing, chaos had spread throughout the world. Discerning individuals seemed to have seen the writing on the wall.

Great Chang was no longer sustainable. The royal family was no longer able to control the provinces. Princess Ling Yao was no longer just a princess. Due to Lin Fei, the "Immortal Slayer Saber", the Princess had even temporarily assumed some of the responsibilities of the South King.

There were four kings in Great Chang. In the east, south, west, and north, each had a king to suppress the chaos. The South King was responsible for the south of Great Chang. With military and political power in hand, he was one of the highest-ranking royal relatives in Great Chang.

In Great Chang, because of the martial artists and the Qi cultivators, there wasn't too much fear regarding military and political power. With the royal supreme elder in place, no royal relative dared to rebel, so the royal family remained relatively united at the time.

However, under the current circumstances, even a united royal family was powerless to cope. The territories under the control of the South King were engulfed in smoke and flames. The South was the tax foundation of the Great Chang Court.

"Speak, which Immortal Sects are supporting these rebels this time?" Ling Yao asked coldly.

She had long understood that even if the court's control over the provinces had weakened, it would not mean that mere rebels could succeed. Now, the world was shrouded in smoke. It was the Immortal Sects causing chaos behind the scenes. This was why the court, despite sending troops to quell the rebellion, repeatedly failed. The Immortal Sects were the root of all chaos!

"Our investigation suggests that it should be the Fairy Crane Immortal Sect and the Water Moon Sect."

"Hmph, two more Immortal Sects, neither of which even have a Foundation Establishment cultivator, dare to disrupt the world. They deserve death!" Ling Yao clenched her teeth.

These two Immortal Sects couldn't even be considered major sects that had existed for a millennium. Without the magic treasure to suppress the sect, even the court could step on their sect's gate and eradicate their heritage. But, unfortunately, it was a time of chaos. The court was powerless to suppress even these second and third-rate Immortal Sects.

At this moment, Ling Yao thought of Lin Fei. If Lin Fei were here, would these Immortal Sects dare to act so recklessly?

"Report. There's been a change in the Nine Profound Sect. Three days ago, news came out from the Nine Profound Sect. The Foundation Establishment cultivator of Guardian Primordial Mountain, carrying the magic treasure 'Sea Stabilizing Pearl', had invaded the Nine Profound Sect, intending to annihilate it.

The Grand Elder of Nine Profound Sect, 'Immortal Slayer Saber' Lin Fei, has attained the Saint Martial status, appearing out of nowhere. With his saber, he slashed Yuan Kongzi, leading to the fall of the Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yao's face changed dramatically. Her demeanor became incredibly agitated in an instant.

"You... Are you telling the truth? Lin Fei has become a Martial Saint? And he even slew a Foundational Establishment cultivator?"

Ling Yao seemed to hardly believe her own ears. A Martial Saint! That was comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator! Even more so, the rarity of Martial Saints far exceeded Foundation Establishment cultivators! Moreover, in the entirety of Great Chang, there hadn't been a birth of a Martial Saint for three hundred years.

Unexpectedly, Lin Fei had not only surpassed the founder of the Nine Profound Sect, but he also surpassed all martial artists in the past three hundred years and attained the title of Martial Saint!

"This news has already spread throughout the world, and it was voluntarily released by the Nine Profound Sect. There should be no mistake."

Ling Yao held the urgent reports from various regions in her hand. The urgent reports, which felt like death sentences, left Ling Yao feeling deeply helpless.

"Immediately dispatch the secret guards, carrying my letter to the Nine Profound Sect, inviting the Martial Saint to Chang City!"

Ling Yao gritted her teeth, making a decision.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Her subordinates withdrew. However, Ling Yao's gaze seemed somewhat dazed. Back then, when Lin Fei said he wanted to become a Martial Saint, Ling Yao treated it as a joke. Even if Lin Fei was stunningly talented, attaining the status of Martial Saint? That was simply impossible! Yet, who would have thought Lin Fei's bold words back then had now become reality?

In an instant, the news that Lin Fei of the Nine Profound Sect had become a Martial Saint and slain a Foundation Establishment cultivator with his saber had spread throughout the entirety of Great Chang.

The awe-inspiring might of Lin Fei, the Martial Saint, was as radiant as the midday sun! Countless martial artists were converging towards the Nine Profound Sect, desiring to pay their respects to the only Martial Saint in the world today! The Nine Profound Sect had already become a holy land in the hearts of martial artists worldwide!

181. Lin Fei's Decision

In the Nine Profound Sect, Lin Fei sat cross-legged in his cave dwelling.

"Reporting to the grand elder."

Suddenly, the sect master arrived. Now, even when the sect master came to Lin Fei's cave dwelling, he had to announce his arrival. After all, Lin Fei's status was now different from before. He was now regarded by all martial artists throughout the Great Chang, and throughout the entire world, as a godlike figure. He was also currently the stabilizing force of the Nine Profound Sect!

Lin Fei's prestige had long since surpassed the ordinary scope of a Grand Elder. In fact, if Lin Fei wished to take the position of sect master at this moment, it would be as easy as a common occurrence.

"Sect master, come in."

The voice of Lin Fei came from inside the cave dwelling. The sect master respectfully entered Lin Fei's dwelling. Upon seeing Lin Fei sitting cross-legged on the ground, the sect master respectfully greeted, "Greetings, grand elder!"

"Sect master, what brings you here?"

Lin Fei opened his eyes.

The sect master respectfully said, "Grand Elder, I have been closely monitoring the movements of He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain. After He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain learned that the grand elder has become a Martial Saint and slain Yuan Kongzi with a saber stroke. Both of these immortal sects immediately declared a lockdown, activating their mountain protection arrays. It seems that they have no intention of involving themselves with the world any longer."

In reality, when He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain learned that Lin Fei had killed Yuan Kongzi, they initially refused to believe it. After carefully investigating the news and discovering that it was indeed true, they didn't hesitate any longer. They promptly secluded themselves from the world. Once they closed off their mountains, it meant that they would not venture down, and everything in the mortal world became irrelevant to them.

The only exceptions might be the occasional recruitment of disciples, which might necessitate a descent from the mountain. But only a handful of people would venture down and they wouldn't make a big fuss about it. They were truly afraid.

Even though a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Guardian Primordial Mountain was slain by Lin Fei, the Guardian Primordial Mountain did not dare to retaliate. Instead, they worried that Lin Fei might flatten the Guardian Primordial Mountain. Therefore, they promptly closed off their mountain and activated their grand array.

These immortal sects, which have existed for over a thousand years, had experience with such matters. Back when the founding emperor of Great Chang swept across the four corners of the world with his Martial Saint prowess, subduing the world. Knowing they couldn't compete, these immortal sects did exactly this.

They closed off their mountains, secluded themselves from the world, and endured hardship. They continued to endure until the founding emperor of Great Chang disappeared. Only then did these immortal sects start stirring up trouble again.

Fortunately, a Foundation Establishment True Person was born within the royal family. Although the Supreme Elder did not possess the might of the founding emperor of Great Chang, he was still a top Foundation Establishment True Person. He was able to keep other immortal sects from taking rash actions, leaving them with no choice but to seclude themselves. This lasted for over four hundred years until the royal supreme elder's lifespan ended and passed away in meditation, they began to stir up trouble again, attempting to take control of the world's power.

Now, with Lin Fei's power growing, other immortal sects might not necessarily fear him. However, He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain, these two great immortal sects, currently had no Foundation Establishment True Person. How could they dare to involve themselves in worldly affairs?

They had no choice but to seclude themselves by closing off their mountains. They would wait until their sects produce another Foundation Establishment True Person, or until Lin Fei dies. It's estimated that He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain would only dare to reopen their mountains then.

This was the survival strategy of these immortal sects. If there were powerful enemies that cannot be defeated, could they not hide?

He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain were both immortal sects with a thousand-year-old heritage. They possessed treasure that stabilizes their sects. Their mountain protection arrays were so powerful that even a Martial Saint with a manifested saber momentum cannot break through them.

Otherwise, the founding emperor of Great Chang would have flattened those immortal sects long ago. How could there be room for the existence of those immortal sects?

Now it was the same with Lin Fei. He didn't think that he was stronger than the founding emperor of Great Chang at the moment. After all, the founding emperor of Great Chang had managed to master "momentum", and Lin Fei had yet to do so.

If even the founding emperor of Great Chang couldn't break through the mountain protection arrays of those immortal sects, naturally, Lin Fei wouldn't be able to break through them either. He could only let those immortal sects close off their mountains.

However, as long as he was present, He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain would have to obediently close off their mountains, not daring to take any rash actions. This was the deterrent power of Lin Fei, the Martial Saint!

"I understand. Is there anything else?"

Lin Fei looked at the sect master, who seemed to be hesitant, seemed there was more to be said.

The sect master hesitated for a moment, but eventually took out a letter from his bosom, "Grand Elder, the secret guards of the South King, on behalf of the South King's daughter, hope that the grand elder can make a trip to Chang City. This is a letter from Princess Ling Yao, please have a look, grand elder."

Lin Fei raised his head. He took the letter from the sect master's hand. Upon opening the letter, he saw the familiar handwriting. It was indeed from Ling Yao.

The content of the letter was also very simple. First, it congratulated Lin Fei on achieving the status of Martial Saint, reaching the peak of martial arts, and shaking the world with his might! Second, it hoped that Lin Fei could make a trip to Chang City.

After putting down the letter, Lin Fei did not speak, falling silent.

The sect master finally couldn't help but say, "Grand Elder, the situation in Great Chang is unstable now, and the Great Chang dynasty is in danger. Although our Nine Profound Sect has a good relationship with the Great Chang royal family, we need to think carefully about such important matters. Chang City is now a whirlpool. Once you step into the whirlpool, it will be difficult to extricate yourself!

Although you, grand elder, are now a Martial Saint, there are more than just He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain among the immortal sects in the world. Some Foundation Establishment True Persons have been practicing for hundreds of years, their depth is unfathomable, far beyond what Yuan Kongzi can compare to. I hope grand elder will think thrice!"

Lin Fei understood what the sect master was saying. He was hoping that Lin Fei would not go to Chang City to avoid stirring the troubled waters of the royal family.

If anything happened to Lin Fei, Nine Profound Sect would be in danger. The current Lin Fei wasn't just himself alone. It was the entire Nine Profound Sect behind him.

Lin Fei looked at the sect master and said indifferently, "The reason why the world is so chaotic now, I believe the sect master is clear. Behind it all are those immortal sects, coveting control of the world's power. If we truly go back to the time before Great Chang was established when those immortal sects held power. Do you think the Nine Profound Sect could stay out of it? Even if I, a Martial Saint, am sitting here, can Nine Profound Sect rest easy?"

The sect master didn't speak anymore. What was it like before the establishment of Great Chang? Some ancient texts briefly mention it. Back then, there were mortal nations. But they were divided into many nations, constantly warring with each other. And behind these nations, all were those immortal sects.

The immortal sects, high above, controlled everything. They didn't care about how many mortal people died or were injured. Holding power and controlling all kinds of spiritual resources in the world was all they cared for. Mortals were just people who served them generation after generation. If one generation died, another would grow. Moreover, ordinary people are without talent. In their eyes, they didn't even count as the same kind. This kind of high and mighty mentality was not the same as martial artists. After all, martial artists were also "ordinary people" in the eyes of Qi cultivators. Anyone could become a martial artist. Even if a martial artist became a Martial Saint, he wouldn't have this kind of high and mighty mentality.

Martial artists and Qi cultivators. To say they are born enemies was a bit of an exaggeration. But once the immortal sects control the world's power, martial arts would inevitably be suppressed. By then, let alone Martial Saints, even a martial arts Master, probably could only become a servant to be dispatched at will by the Qi cultivators.

"Moreover, what the founding emperor of Great Chang was able to do, I can do too!"

A sharp light flashed in Lin Fei's eyes! The sect master shuddered in his heart. He already knew Lin Fei's determination.

"Tell the secret guards that I will certainly go to Chang City."

"Yes, grand elder!"

The sect master did not try to persuade him further. Instead, he respectfully withdrew.

182. Ling Yao's Decision

Chang City, South King Mansion.

Ling Yao was handling a large amount of business every day. Mostly military affairs and logistics. The army on the front lines was putting down rebellions, but it was not going smoothly. Therefore, various resources need to be continuously transported to the front lines.

War, like a gold-consuming beast, all the resources are swallowed up. However, there was no sign of any improvement now. It was like a bottomless pit, making Ling Yao feel exhausted.

However, at this time, Ling Yao showed a firm will. She couldn't fall! She now was not just one person anymore. Centered on her, behind her, there were already tens of thousands of people involved.

She was a huge force. If she fell, there would be countless people falling with her. However, she was inherently weak. She also wished someone could help her. At this moment, in her mind, she couldn't help but imagine a figure.

"Will he...come?"

Ling Yao hadn't received any news from the secret guards. After all, it took time for the secret guards to pass on messages. A breeze blew past. The candlelight in the room flickered slightly.

"Hmm?"

Ling Yao suddenly looked up. She saw that in the room, she didn't know when an additional figure appeared.

"Lin Fei!"

Ling Yao widened her eyes. She even felt like she was hallucinating. However, this familiar figure was now quietly standing in front of her.

"Senior Sister Ling."

Lin Fei spoke. The familiar voice let Ling Yao know this was not a hallucination. It was Lin Fei, he really came! For a moment, Ling Yao was overjoyed. Lin Fei was a Martial Saint famous all over the world. His status had already far surpassed her, a princess.

Ling Yao looked complicated, with a slight smile on her face, "I haven't congratulated you yet, for finally achieving Martial Saint, standing at the pinnacle of martial arts, and achieving your initial goal."

When Lin Fei said he wanted to become a Martial Saint, Ling Yao just shook her head slightly. She didn't believe it at all. But now, Lin Fei was standing in front of her as a Martial Saint. She couldn't help but believe it.

"Yes, the goal I set casually at the beginning has been achieved. But this is far from being the pinnacle of martial arts."

After a pause, Lin Fei looked directly at Ling Yao and said word by word, "Senior Sister Ling, when I left Chang City, I gave you a choice...Now, you should have made a decision. Tell me, what is your decision?"

Ling Yao was taken aback. She of course knew what Lin Fei was talking about. Originally, before Lin Fei left, he gave her a choice.

Martial arts or power!

If she chose martial arts, Lin Fei would help her become an innate martial artist with all his might. But the road after that would have to be taken by Ling Yao herself. If she chose power. Even if she wanted to become an empress, Lin Fei would help her.

The words from the past were still vivid in her memory as if it was just yesterday. But now, Lin Fei had returned. She had to make a choice.

Ling Yao sighed deeply and said quietly, "With my talent, becoming innate is the limit. But, an innate martial artist is just a fleeting hundred years. To become a Martial Saint? How easy could it be?"

Lin Fei closed his eyes. Ling Yao also remained silent. He knew that Ling Yao had made her choice.

Lin Fei was not disappointed. On the contrary, he was very calm. It seemed that he had known Ling Yao's choice a long time ago. After all, not everyone is willing to risk everything to reach the peak of martial arts! In the mortal world, glory and wealth, power to dominate a lifetime, isn't it beautiful?

If martial arts cannot become a Martial Saint, it would be like the founder of the Nine Profound Sect. Such a brilliant and peerless top powerhouse, in the end, could only sit withered on the peak of the founder. Alone, dying in loneliness and desolation.

"Lin Fei, there is a rebellion in the south now, and behind it are the Fairy Crane Sect and Water Moon Sect..."

Before Ling Yao could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Lin Fei.

"Senior Sister Ling, I understand what you mean. But feelings are feelings, and trades are trades. The royal family has to offer something that satisfies me. Then I will make a move! This matter, you can't decide, I will personally meet the Great Chang Emperor and the elders of the royal family."

So, Lin Fei turned around. He had no intention of staying in South King Mansion. Since Ling Yao made her choice, Lin Fei knew that the last thread of affection between him and Ling Yao had come to an end.

"Lin Fei..."

Ling Yao called out.

"Whoosh".

But Lin Fei's figure had already disappeared. However, although Lin Fei left, his voice still echoed in Ling Yao's ears.

"Sister Ling, since you have made your choice, let it be as you wish..."

Ling Yao suddenly widened her eyes. But outside the window, Lin Fei's figure was nowhere to be seen. Before long, Lin Fei arrived at the palace. He went straight to see the emperor.

The Great Chang Emperor was a middle-aged man. His eyes were dark and lifeless. His body didn't seem too good. This was the result of indulging in pleasure and emptying his body.

"Who?"

Seeing Lin Fei's figure, the emperor was startled.

Lin Fei stood with his hands behind his back and said lightly, "Nine Profound Sect, Lin Fei! Emperor, call the elders of the royal family, there are some things that the emperor might not be able to decide."

Lin Fei's words were a bit overbearing, even somewhat "rebellious". But the emperor sobered up at this moment.

Nine Profound Sect, Lin Fei! Now this name was resounding throughout the world! Because Lin Fei was a Martial Saint!

The emperor immediately called for the elders.

The emperor seemed to be the supreme figure. But in fact, when it really came to the life and death of the royal family, he couldn't make the decision either. The elders of the royal family must step forward.

Soon, the elders of the royal family came. Among them, there were some "acquaintances" of Lin Fei. At this moment, after these elders of the royal family saw Lin Fei, all of them were taken aback. They immediately stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Greetings, Martial Saint!"

Now, Lin Fei was already a Martial Saint, equivalent to a Foundation Establishment True Person. Even if they were of royal blood. They also had to pay their respects to Lin Fei.

"The current predicament of Great Chang, I have learned about. There is rebellion in the South and even support from the immortals behind it. I can take action, quell the rebellion, and even flatten the immortal sect behind the rebel army! But there are two conditions."

The emperor and the elders were overjoyed. They were now in a mess because of the rebellion in the South. The death of the supreme elder caused the royal family to no longer had the power to suppress those immortal sects.

If they did not suppress it in time, given time, the world would definitely be in turmoil. By then, the royal family would be helpless. But if this Martial Saint, Lin Fei, was willing to make a move, then it must be able to suppress the rebellion!

After all, Lin Fei was the only Martial Saint who could slash the Foundation Establishment True Person with a saber, and the only Martial Saint in Great Chang!

"Martial Saint, if you have any instructions, please feel free to tell."

"First, proclaim Princess Ling Yao as the royal princess, and she will ascend to the throne in the future and become the Empress of Great Chang! Second, the secret collection of royal martial arts needs to be open to me."

The second condition, of course, was not a problem. As for the first condition, in fact, it was just that the emperor was not very willing. But the elders of the royal family didn't care who became the emperor. As long as it is the royal bloodline, there is no problem. Now, the world was in turmoil. The key was to preserve the royal family and protect Great Chang!

"Good, we agree to the conditions of the Martial Saint!"

Lin Fei was not surprised. With these two conditions, the royal family had no choice but to agree.

"Let's go, take me to the place of the royal martial arts secret collection now."

"Yes, Martial Saint."

So, an elder led Lin Fei to the place of the royal martial arts secret collection. Lin Fei walked in alone. He needed a lot of saber techniques to evolve his saber momentum, especially the saber techniques at the innate level.

Lin Fei came to a row of saber technique bookshelves. He closed his eyes. In his mind, he thought of Ling Yao. Today, he helped Ling Yao become the Royal Princess. This was equivalent to severing the emotional bond between him and Ling Yao.

"Shush."

Lin Fei's emotions gradually calmed down.

"Now that the emotional bond is severed, it's time for me to evolve my saber momentum! Let's begin."

Lin Fei's gaze became calm again.
