Chapter 228-230 (Patreon)

228. Lin Fei Descends

"Qiu Long, Li Yuan?"

Lin Fei regarded the two Martial Saints assessing him from a distance. The communication stone vibrated. Instantly, he discerned their identities.

Qiu Long and Li Yuan. Two Martial Saints were dispatched by the Ancient Origin Sect to the Imperial City of the Tianqi Country. Each a venerable Martial Saint over four hundred years old. Facing imminent demise, they arrived at Tianqi Country's Imperial City to relish life's pleasures.

Qiu Long and Li Yuan hurriedly approached, bowing in respect, "We're not certain which True Disciple you might be?"

True Disciples held an extraordinary status within the Ancient Origin Sect. Even the Inner Sect Elders were inferior to True Disciples.

Lin Fei calmly stated, "Outer Sect Elder, Lin Fei."

"Outer Sect Elder?"

The pair blinked in mild surprise. Of course, they understood the term 'Outer Sect Elder'. Though Outer Sect Elders were Martial Saints, the rank primarily encompassed ordinary Martial Saints. There were none among them who were top-tier Martial Saints. How could the Sect allow an ordinary Martial Saint to undertake an Imperial City mission?

Qiu Long seemed to seek further confirmation, asking again, "Elder Lin, are you here for a mission?"

"Indeed, the Imperial City Disappearance Case, ten thousand contribution points. I'm Lin Fei. I'm here to unravel the mystery of it."

Upon hearing Lin Fei's confirmation, Qiu Long and Li Yuan exchanged a glance. Their eyes concealed an undeniable disappointment.

Lin Fei, being able to accept this mission, perhaps had some distinctive traits. But, what use could they be?

The current Imperial City Disappearance Case involved a Foundation Establishment True Person capable of turning Martial Saints into zombies. What use could an Outer Sect Elder be?

Lin Fei perceived the disappointment in Qiu Long and Li Yuan's eyes. He could guess why. The two, no doubt, had not heard his name before, which was reasonable. After all, they had been in the Imperial City for quite some time. Their information wouldn't be up-to-date. Moreover, it was only recently that Lin Fei defeated Ao Yunxiao. His name had just begun to circulate throughout the Ancient Origin Sect. It was forgivable if the two were unaware.

"Have there been any new developments in the Imperial City Disappearance Case, honorable Martial Saints?" Lin Fei inquired.

"Well..."

Qiu Long and Li Yuan hesitated. Even if they explained, what use could Lin Fei be? However, Gu Lin didn't know the considerations within the Martial Saints' minds. She only knew that someone from the Ancient Origin Sect had finally arrived and possibly a top-tier Martial Saint! Perhaps he could deal with the enigmatic Foundation Establishment True Person.

Therefore, Gu Lin quickly intervened, "Elder Lin, we already have leads in the Imperial City Disappearance Case. It involves a mysterious Foundation Establishment cultivator. He has captured many Martial Saints and turned those Martial Saints into zombies. My father has also been captured and is now likely in grave danger. I beg you, Elder Lin, to kill this Foundation Establishment cultivator, to avenge my father and the numerous Martial Saints of the Imperial City!"

With a choked voice, Gu Lin collapsed to her knees.

Lin Fei glanced at Gu Lin. His expression remained tranquil. He stated, "I am here only to investigate the Imperial City Disappearance Case. If it pertains to the case, I will take action. Other matters are not of concern to me. Esteemed Elders, is her account accurate?"

Lin Fei turned his gaze toward Qiu Long and Li Yuan. Both Martial Saints gritted their teeth and nodded, "Elder Lin, every word Gu Lin uttered is true. Her father is Gu Yujian, the King of Leisure, also a Martial Saint who vanished abruptly a few days ago. We investigated together and happened to find the Marquis of Yang Martial also disappeared.

We followed a trail to a graveyard, where we discovered zombies of Martial Saint strength. Two Martial Saints from the royal family could not withstand even a single strike. To deal with such zombies, only top-tier Martial Saints might stand a chance. And there are true culprits behind the scenes. So, we planned to report to the Ancient Origin Sect, requesting that they dispatch top-tier Martial Saints to deal with the situation."

This matter pertained to a mysterious Foundation Establishment True Person who's kidnapping Martial Saints in the Imperial City. The Ancient Origin Sect would undoubtedly not turn a blind eye. A Foundation Establishment True Person running rampant in the Imperial City was almost an affront to the dignity of the Ancient Origin Sect!

Once reported, the Ancient Origin Sect would certainly send a formidable Martial Saint to the Imperial City. The implication of their words was to let Lin Fei wait a while longer. To report together and wait for the arrival of the Martial Saints from the Ancient Origin Sect.

Lin Fei naturally understood what Qiu Long and Li Yuan meant. However, he neither agreed nor disagreed. He even disregarded it entirely and said directly, "Take me to the cemetery to have a look. If the real culprit behind this can be caught sooner, I can return to the sect earlier to hand over the mission."

Qiu Long and Li Yuan were stunned. Was Lin Fei really going to intervene in the Imperial City Disappearance Case? They had already made it clear. In the Imperial City, there was a powerful Foundation Establishment True Person. It might even be a top-tier Foundation Establishment True Person. Only a top-tier Martial Saint, or even a Limit Martial Saint, would be able to deal with them. If Lin Fei intervened now, wouldn't it be dangerous?

However, the two were now the only Martial Saints stationed in the Imperial City by the Ancient Origin Sect. Their status wasn't even equal to Lin Fei, an Outer Sect Elder. Therefore, after some hesitation, they still nodded.

"Elder Lin, let's be careful and go see what's happening at the cemetery."

So, the group of four quickly headed toward the cemetery. When they arrived at the cemetery, they discovered that the entire place was in ruins. Blood and corpses were everywhere on the ground. The thick stench of death permeated the entire cemetery.

"This is the cemetery. I don't know if the zombie is still here?"

Qiu Long and Li Yuan were still somewhat apprehensive. If they hadn't acted decisively and run fast, they would probably have been killed by the terrifying zombie by now.

Lin Fei took a step forward and "swoosh", he instantly entered the cemetery. Qiu Long, Li Yuan, and Gu Lin followed closely behind. The ground was littered with the corpses of the royal guards.

"We found them, these two were royal Martial Saints, blown up by a single strike of the zombie. Now they're just a pile of flesh and blood. But the zombie seems to have disappeared. Did it escape?"

The group only found the shattered corpses of the two Martial Saints. They didn't see the zombie. If it escaped, it was normal.

After all, if the mysterious culprit chose to hide, they must have some scruples. Once their whereabouts were discovered, they naturally had to hide.

"Could it be that mysterious Foundation Establishment cultivator has escaped?" Gu Lin suddenly spoke.

Indeed, there was this possibility. After all, this incident had caused quite a stir. Perhaps the Ancient Origin Sect would send a powerful Martial Saint. After all, this was the Ancient Origin Sect's territory. No matter how powerful a Foundation Establishment True Person was, how dare they confront the Ancient Origin Sect?

"Since the mysterious Foundation Establishment cultivator dared to risk kidnapping some Martial Saints in the Imperial City to turn into zombies, there must be a reason he had to do it. I think the goal of the mysterious Foundation Establishment has not been achieved yet, he might not escape for the time being. However, I fear he will become more frantic. He will definitely seize the opportunity before the Martial Saints of the Ancient Origin Sect descend from the mountain, to frantically capture Martial Saints. I'm afraid the entire Imperial City's Martial Saints are now in danger." Qiu Long said in a deep voice.

"That makes sense. However, as long as he doesn't leave the Imperial City, it's good news. Capture him or kill him, then the disappearance case in the Imperial City would be solved." Lin Fei calmly said.

"But how can we catch that mysterious Foundation Establishment cultivator? Up until now, we have only seen his zombie. And that Foundation Establishment cultivator has not shown his face. Even a city-wide manhunt by the royal family hasn't found him." Gu Lin gritted her teeth as she spoke.

If it were that easy to find, she would have found his father long ago. Unfortunately, that mysterious Foundation Establishment cultivator seemed very good at hiding his figure. So far, there had been no clues.

"As long as he's still in the Imperial City, I will definitely find him! Time is of the essence. To prevent the Foundation Establishment cultivator from escaping, I will have to go all out!"

Lin Fei's words left Qiu Long, Li Yuan, and Gu Lin momentarily stunned. They didn't understand what Lin Fei meant.

"Go all out? Elder Lin, you..."

Qiu Long was about to say something.

"Boom".

Suddenly, a white light instantly radiated from Lin Fei. And it quickly spread out in all directions. Everyone was enveloped by the white light. Even if they were Martial Saints, they felt their bodies trembling and broke out in cold sweat. Their bodies felt as if they were being weighed down by several mountains.

"This... is this... saber momentum?"

Qiu Long and Li Yuan looked up. Their eyes were filled with astonishment as they looked at Lin Fei.

229. Lin Fei's Move

Without hesitation, Lin Fei deployed his saber momentum. The vast saber momentum covered all directions. Everyone was enveloped by the saber momentum. They lifted their heads in shock, looking up into the void.

This was the Imperial City. There were countless martial artists. Moreover, there were even more saberists with sabers. At this moment, as the saber momentum enveloped them, not only did the martial artists feel as if they were carrying a heavy mountain on their bodies, moreover, the sabers in those saberists hands even started to tremble violently.

"Buzz."

Countless sabers were trembling and humming.

"What on earth is that?"

"Why does my saber seem to be drawn by some force?"

"What a terrifying pressure, what's happening to the Imperial City?"

"That's saber momentum and not an ordinary one."

"That Martial Saint, possessing such a terrifying saber momentum."

"Could it be that someone from the Ancient Origin Sect has come?"

In the Imperial City, there were definitely many strong individuals. Thus, they immediately recognized it. This was saber momentum! Generally, only a Martial Saint could comprehend saber momentum. Moreover, this saber momentum was very powerful. Under the envelope of the saber momentum, anyone's strength would be suppressed. Many Martial Saints were also suppressed. However, they were not terrified. Instead, they were delighted.

Because of such saber momentum most likely only the top Martial Saints of the Ancient Origin Sect could possess. Which meant. the Ancient Origin Sect had finally sent someone.

Qiu Long and Li Yuan were both shocked. Such terrifying saber momentum was clearly a top Martial Saint!

Gu Lin was not a Martial Saint. But she was also suppressed. But she was very happy. The stronger Lin Fei was, the more likely it was to catch the real culprit. Even, kill the real culprit.

Lin Fei, however, did not pay attention to the thoughts of these people. He just stood quietly in place, trying to expand his perception to the extreme.

In terms of perception, in fact, Martial Saints are at a disadvantage compared to Foundation Establishment True Persons. Those Foundation Establishment True Persons have spiritual consciousness, which could sweep a large range. Even a single spiritual consciousness could easily cover the entire Imperial City.

Under the sweep of spiritual consciousness, any different person can be easily found. But it's different for Martial Saints. Martial Saints don't have such abilities. Although the five senses of a Martial Saint are very sharp and the range that the five senses can perceive is just too small. It's nearly impossible to find a hidden person from the vast sea of people.

However, once a Martial Saint comprehends the momentum of martial arts, things will be different. The momentum of martial arts is vast and can cover a large range. Under the coverage of martial arts momentum, all people would have their strength suppressed. Moreover, the Martial Saint knows everything that happens within the martial arts momentum.

Therefore, Lin Fei immediately unleashed his saber momentum, directly sweeping a radius of several miles. Although it couldn't cover the entire Imperial City, just a few rounds of saber momentum coverage would sweep every corner of the Imperial City.

Lin Fei carefully sensed for a while. He didn't find any Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even, no zombies. However, Lin Fei didn't rush. After all, his saber momentum could only cover part of the Imperial City.

"Swoosh."

The next moment, Lin Fei walked in the air. He turned into a streak of light, flying toward the sky. Qiu Long and Li Yuan looked at each other. Then they gritted their teeth and said, "Follow him!"

So, the two of them, along with Gu Lin, also followed Lin Fei, flying toward the sky. On the way, Lin Fei maintained the coverage of his saber momentum. In less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Lin Fei could cover every corner of the Imperial City with his saber momentum. It's as if he also searched the entire Imperial City. Under the saber momentum, any trace could not escape Lin Fei's perception.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Lin Fei stopped. His saber momentum sensed he found a trace of spiritual power.

Spiritual power! Only Qi cultivators have spiritual power. And the entire Tianqi Country was full of martial artists. Where did the Qi cultivator come from?

"Swoosh."

The next moment, Lin Fei's figure appeared on the street. His gaze was quietly fixed on a shop. It was a coffin shop. Qiu Long and Li Yuan also flew over. Seeing Lin Fei's gaze, the two immediately shouted at the crowd below, "Everyone gets away quickly."

Immediately, many people immediately ran in all directions in case a real fight breaks out. Being able to tread in the air. That must be a Martial Saint. The aftereffects, how terrifying? Being slightly affected, ordinary people can't stand it.

"Elder Lin, did you find the real culprit?" Qiu Long asked softly.

Lin Fei didn't answer. Instead, he began to shrink his saber momentum. The more saber momentum is compressed, the stronger the power. Lin Fei's saber momentum had shrunk to only cover the coffin shop.

"Whoosh."

Suddenly, the coffin shop owner raised his head abruptly. His cloak shattered in an instant. There was a vague talisman, floating around. It seemed to be struggling to resist Lin Fei's saber momentum suppression.

In the face of Lin Fei's saber momentum suppression, even the most hidden Foundation Establishment True Persons would reveal flaws. Because their magic bodies would involuntarily operate the spiritual power. Therefore, this deeply hidden Foundation Establishment True Person, in front of Lin Fei, was nowhere to hide.

"Why? Why must you find out who I am? I really don't want to kill wantonly. But, tribulation is difficult. I just wanted to cultivate a few Martial Saints with the Yin Day Birth attribute and form the Nine Yin Zombie Array. I hope to get through the tribulation and achieve the golden pill. But, you insist on finding out who I am. Then I can only kill wantonly!"

This Foundation Establishment True Person slowly stood up. Even though there was the terrifying suppression of the saber momentum, the talisman around him seemed to be able to resist the suppression of the saber momentum.

Qiu Long and Li Yuan's faces changed dramatically.

"A tribulation-crossing true person? Not good, this Foundation Establishment True Person is actually about to cross the tribulation. Elder Lin, let's go quickly, we probably are not his match!"

This was not alarmist. The true persons who can cross the tribulation, even if it is just approaching the tribulation, are very terrifying. They are equivalent to those Limit Martial Saints who have condensed Energy Flower and Qi Flower.

Of course, Foundation Establishment True Person and Martial Saints are different. The strength of a Foundation Establishment True Person depends on spells and magic treasures.

"Bang bang bang".

As the Foundation Establishment True Person operated the spiritual power. Immediately, the coffins in the coffin shop were broken open one by one. One after another, zombies flew out of the coffins.

Zombies! All zombies! And, all were Martial Saint-level zombies!

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh."

One after another, zombies flew into the void. The corpse energy from their bodies was emitted, vaguely forming a cloud of dark clouds, covering Lin Fei and the others within.

These zombies, actually, are not affected by the saber momentum at all. After all, zombies are no longer considered alive. They have no consciousness of their own. They are just walking dead. Saber momentum can't suppress zombies.

"Eight zombies!"

"What a terrifying momentum, even a top Martial Saint might find it difficult."

"The Nine Yin Zombie Array, that is an array that can resist some of the power of tribulation, how terrifying!"

"This time, I'm afraid we are in great danger..."

Qiu Long and Li Yuan's faces changed dramatically. They couldn't escape anymore. The sky was full of corpse energy. If they were not careful, they might even be corroded by the corpse's energy. Even if they were Martial Saints, they would be corroded all the same.

Moreover, eight Martial Saint-level zombies formed a large array. The entire void, as if it had become purgatory in an instant. This was the method of a Foundation Establishment True Person. Without a powerful magic treasure, they can use the array to replace it.

Even if these eight zombies were resurrected, just eight Martial Saints wouldn't be so terrifying. But, refined into zombies by the Foundation Establishment True Person, after forming the large array, they became so terrifying. The strength had increased at least ten times even dozens of times!

"Today, this True Person will kill wantonly. If I can't find the ninth Yin Day Birth Martial Saint, then I will use you three Martial Saints even the blood of the entire Imperial City to help me refine a blood corpse, to replace the ninth zombie! Hahaha, the Eight Yin Zombie Array, kill!"

The voice of the Foundation Establishment True Person was filled with madness. He actually wanted to use the blood of the entire city to forcefully refine blood corpses!

For a moment, the entire Imperial City seemed to be echoing with the mad laughter of the Foundation Establishment True Person. At the same time, the sky also gradually darkened. Countless Yin Qi and corpse energy converged together and shrouded the entire Imperial City.

This Foundation Establishment True Person actually had preparations early on. Even the array had been set up. He wanted to refine the entire Imperial City with blood! This is indeed extremely mad. Even at any cost. Even the Ancient Origin Sect couldn't make this Foundation Establishment True Person stop his madness.

"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed!"

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.

"Whoosh."

Immediately afterward, a saber pierced through the darkness. Just like a burning sun, it emitted endless heat and flames, shining brightly, dispersing all darkness and corpse energy.

230. Three Sabers Merge into One

"Slay!"

Lin Fei's voice was cold, carrying a hint of killing intent.

Immediately, the hundreds of meters long saber in the void emitted surging flames, falling from the sky and slicing onto the eight zombies.

"Boom".

The raging flames were burning madly. Flame Burning Heaven Saber! Although it was just a saber technique, under the impetus of saber essence and saber momentum, this saber seemed to really have the power of burning heavens and boiling seas.

Moreover, Lin Fei used most of his saber essence to execute this saber. Therefore, the power of this saber was beyond belief. Of course, the key point was that the Flame Burning Heaven Saber carried flames, which could precisely restrain these zombies.

Otherwise, just in terms of the power of the saber technique, Rainbow Transformation Saber Technique, and Holy Spirit Saber Technique, none of them were inferior to Flame Burning Heaven Saber. But when facing the eight zombies, Flame Burning Heaven Saber undoubtedly could play a stronger role.

As this saber fell, endless flames, seemed to fill the entire void.

The Yin Qi and corpse Qi on the eight zombies, under this saber, seemed to have all turned into fuel for the fire, thereby enhancing the fire, burning even more fiercely.

"No...Come back to me!"

The expression on the mysterious Foundation Establishment True Person was twisting, madly forming hand seals, wanting to recall the eight zombies. After all, this was his only hope of crossing the tribulation. He had gone through all kinds of hardships to find the eight martial saints who were born on Yin days, only then would he be able to form the Nine Yin Zombie Array to help him resist the heavenly tribulation.

He even risked coming to Tianqi Country, under the eyes of the Ancient Origin Sect, to undertake this risky task. It was because there were enough Martial Saints in the Imperial City of the Tianqi Country only then was it possible to find Martial Saints born on Yin days.

Originally, he was about to succeed. He was short of only one zombie. Just give him a little more time, he would be able to successfully gather nine zombies born on Yin days and thus achieve great success!

But everything was ruined. The arrival of this Martial Saint from the Ancient Origin Sect, not only did it expose him ahead of time, it even destroyed his eight zombies. Now, he had no hope of crossing the tribulation. For a top Foundation Establishment True Person, the most important thing is to cross the tribulation!

For the purpose of crossing the tribulation, these top Foundation Establishment True Persons could do anything at any cost! But, if anyone ruins their hope of crossing the tribulation, then they would immediately become insane.

"You destroyed my hope of crossing the tribulation! You destroyed my Dao! Then let the entire Imperial City accompany me in burial!"

This top Foundation Establishment True Person, his Magic Body's spiritual power vibrated.

"Boom."

Immediately, above the entire Imperial City, a huge Spiritual Qi cloud gathered. Like a huge vortex.

At this moment, Lin Fei didn't make a move. Because voices were echoing in his mind.

"Your Flame Burning Heaven Saber, having slain the Yin-Evil Martial Saint zombie, comprehended the Supreme Yang state, cultivation progress increased by 100%."

"Your Flame Burning Heaven Saber has broken through to transcendence!"

Lin Fei's Flame Burning Heaven Saber, unexpectedly, had reached transcendence at this time.

"Supreme Yang state?"

Lin Fei closed his eyes. A piece of memory also appeared in his mind. With a slight organization, he immediately understood the so-called Supreme Yang state. However, that top Foundation Establishment True Person was trying to cast a terrifying spell that could destroy heaven and earth. He had gathered such a terrifying Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.

"Suppress!"

Lin Fei's saber momentum suddenly contracted. A terrifying suppressing power suddenly all fell on that Foundation Establishment True Person.

Immediately, the Foundation Establishment True Person's expression changed. His whole body was trembling. Obviously, he was enduring tremendous pressure. However, the talisman in front of him was truly miraculous. It could actually withstand Lin Fei's suppressing saber momentum.

"It's useless, with my Void Talisman here. Even if your saber momentum is stronger, it won't affect me. Unless it's a Limit Martial Saint, otherwise, no one can kill me! Today, all of you will die!"

The Foundation Establishment True Person's expression twisted, his demeanor was like madness.

"Is that so?"

Lin Fei's expression was still calm.

Qiu Long and Li Yuan, looking at the huge Spiritual Qi cloud in the sky, were almost in despair. Such a terrifying Spiritual Qi cloud, once a spell was cast, how strong would the power of that spell be? Even if a Martial Saint could barely resist it without dying. But what about ordinary people? The entire Imperial City, with a population of millions. Now, they are probably all going to die under this terrifying spell.

"Shoo."

Lin Fei flicked his finger. The hundreds of meters long Flame Burning Heaven Saber was suspended in the void.

"Shoo."

Another saber essence. The hundreds of meters long Holy Spirit Saber also appeared in the void.

"Shoo."

A rainbow light flashed past. That was the hundreds of meters long Rainbow Transformation Saber.

Each saber emanated a formidable heavenly might, all reaching hundreds of meters!

"Unite, three sabers as one!"

The thought flitted through Lin Fei's mind. Instantaneously, the three terrifying heavenly sabers merged into one. They formed an imposing heavenly saber, reaching one thousand meters high. Near this heavenly saber, even the void itself seemed to birth a multitude of dark lines. These were fractures in the fabric of space!

"Slay!"

With a single slash, Lin Fei struck down. This fusion of three sabers was even more powerful than the last, several times over. Lin Fei's True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique was advancing rapidly. Though he hadn't broken through, his saber essence was continually increasing, and at a breakneck pace. The power of Lin Fei's united three sabers depended on his saber essence and saber momentum. The stronger the saber essence, the greater the power of the saber!

As Lin Fei slashed his saber, the void itself seemed to be rent open by the blade. Every person within the imperial city looked skyward, their eyes drawn to the void. The awe-inspiring heavenly saber elicited a feeling akin to suffocation. This saber was no longer of the mortal realm!

"Mere martial saint yet to reach the limit, how could you possibly wield such a saber?"

The Foundation Establishment True Person, driven to madness, was suddenly stirred to lucidity by the stimulation of the endless saber points. However, it was too late. The saber descended mercilessly, striking his Void Talisman. The Void Talisman flickered wildly, even sending out ripples. But, after just a moment, the spiritual light on the talisman dimmed.

"Snap."

The talisman shattered, instantly turned to ashes by the saber essence. A trace of fear flashed across the eyes of the Foundation Establishment True Person. Despite his madness, he didn't want to die. If this saber fell, his death would be certain!

"No..."

The Foundation Establishment True Person let out a horrified scream.

"Boom."

In the next moment, the saber fell. The entire coffin shop, and even the whole street, was instantly turned to ashes. Not ruins, but truly ashes, completely annihilated by the terrifying saber essence. There was no corpse left, not even a trace of blood.

The entire imperial city was eerily silent. Everyone was staring blankly at the void and the powerful saber. The Foundation Establishment True Person was dead! The once frenzied, Foundation Establishment True Person, who was on the brink of a breakthrough, had been ground to dust under Lin Fei's terrifying saber. Even the Spiritual Qi cloud in the void gradually dissipated until it vanished without a trace.

With the fall of the Foundation Establishment True Person and the collapse of the aura cloud, the void, which turned pitch black by the shadowy and necrotic air, brightened again. A ray of warm sunlight fell on everyone's faces.

"This saber..."

Qiu Long and Li Yuan were so shocked they couldn't utter a word. Even if they had been in the Ancient Origin Sect, they had never seen a martial saint unleash such terrifying power.

Was this the power of a top martial saint? Clearly, it was a power of a Limit Martial Saint! Even an average Limit Martial Saint might not have such terrifying power. Only a martial saint who had condensed the Spirit Flower and evolved his martial arts to perfection could potentially unleash such a terrifying saber.

"Something must have happened in the Ancient Origin Sect that caused Outer Sect Elder Lin Fei..."

The two men understood very well that a man like Lin Fei couldn't remain nameless. But they hadn't heard of him. It could only mean one thing: they were out of touch with the Ancient Origin Sect, and maybe something major had happened there recently.

"Mission accomplished. Remember to report to the Ancient Origin Sect. I need to go back to debrief on the mission."

Lin Fei didn't seem particularly shocked. He looked quite calm. He was more concerned about the ten thousand contribution points from the sect mission.

"Elder Lin..."

Qiu Long wanted to say something more, but Lin Fei had already taken a step, transforming into a streak of light that disappeared into the horizon.
