Chapter 1309: Chaos in Ba Huang
“Maybe someone had sent them. They didn’t seem to hate me at all, therefore he felt like he didn’t have to chance dying because of me.” said Lin Feng. Even though the enemies knew his name was Lin Feng, they didn’t seem to know much more.
“Your attacks combining several types of abstruse energies are not bad, but your fusions are not perfect. Otherwise, with four types of abstruse energies and your swordsmanship, you could destroy those guys easily. A fusion of four types of level two abstruse energies is more powerful than one level five wind abstruse energy!” explained Yan Di. “Besides, don’t be too satisfied. At their level, those people were quite weak. There are real geniuses who have broken through to the fifth Zun Qi layer and their abstruse energies are already level seven or eight. If you encounter such cultivators, they’ll definitely kill you.”
“Alright.” Lin Feng nodded. Yan Di always seized opportunities to criticize Lin Feng, but Lin Feng knew that he was right. Yan Di had seen enough geniuses in his life to give Lin Feng advice.
Lin Feng already knew that his abstruse energy fusions weren’t perfect, but what he could he do apart from practicing? Having abstruse energies fuse together wasn’t easy. Apart from learning special spells which required using abstruse energies, which he already didn’t want to do because he had decided to walk his own path and rely on himself to understand swords, he couldn’t do much.
“Let’s go!” A gigantic sword again appeared under Lin Feng and Yan Di’s feet before they streaked across the sky.
After they left, the young man at the top of the mountain looked furious.
“Those pieces of trash! They couldn’t even manage to kill a cultivator of the Tian Qi layer.” said Qi Tian Xu.
“Hehe, even if it didn’t work this time, at the meeting of the emperors, you’ll have the opportunity to kill him, Young Master.” said a cultivator at the top of the Zun Qi layer, smiling. Qi Tian Xu and Hou Qing Lin were the geniuses of their generation, they were stronger than most Zun cultivators. Unless he was facing a group of extremely strong cultivators, like those from Jiange, he wouldn’t have to worry.
“We’ll see, in any case, Lin Feng must die!” said Qi Tian Xu, murder filled his eyes. The Qi Clan hated Lin Feng for many reasons, amongst those were the three cultivators at the top of the Zun Qi layer who had died trying to kill him. Everybody already knew that the Qi Clan only had a dozen cultivators at the top of the Zun Qi layer left. Those three peak Zun Qi cultivators, two Sky Absorbing Picture Scrolls, one holy weapon, Qi Tian Sheng had died, Qi Jiao Jiao had been kidnapped.. They had to settle accounts with Lin Feng, no matter the cost.
“Let’s go.” said Qi Tian Xu to the other cultivator. They weren’t going to follow Lin Feng.
The northern part of Ba Huang was Tiantai’s territory, and it wasn’t exactly a calm time. There were battles everywhere, even inside Tianjing City.
Finally, Lin Feng landed on the flight of stairs leading to Tiantai. Many people came to greet him as he arrived.
“You’re back!” said Lin Ruo Tian smiling at Lin Feng. They were now on the eighth group of steps and it wasn’t that difficult anymore.
“How come you’re injured!” Lin Feng sensed that Lin Ruo Tian was hurt.
“Lin Feng, you probably still don’t know what has changed since you left Ba Huang.” said Lin Ruo Tian smiling. “Tian Long Divine Castle’s people attacked me. Our fellow disciples and I were going out, but people from Tian Long Divine Castle were waiting for us.”
“Hehe, but we killed a bunch of them.” said Meng Ba, descending the flight of steps towards them.
“Tian Long Divine Castle!” Lin Feng’s eyes were filled with cold lights.
“What has happened since I left?” asked Lin Feng.
“Many big things happened. The emperors started fighting after they came back from a smaller country, the Qi Clan and the Si Kong Clan joined hands to fight the Wen Clan. Many of their disciples died in those battles. In the brutal part of Ba Huang, the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit, the Island of the Thunderbirds and Mang Niu Mountain attacked the Bestial Imperial Palace. In the sanguinary part of Ba Huang, the mysterious Abyss of Sufferings and the Deva-Mara Palace also started fighting, but their disciples fight all the time. In the celestial part of Ba Huang, the Celestial Thunder Temple is rising and it seems that nobody can stop them anymore. They might even annihilate the Heavens of Desire’s Palace and the Church of Desire. And we’re constantly fighting Tian Long Divine Castle and the Sunset Pavilion.” explained Meng Ba. He looked excited, like he enjoyed the chaos.
“Of course, there’s a reasonable explanation for all these things, the meeting of the emperors, which happens every one-hundred years, will influence the entire province. Tiantai hasn’t existed for long, but more disciples will be recruited, just for the meeting of the emperors.” said Lin Ruo Tian.
Lin Feng had heard Mu Chen talk about the meeting of the emperors before, but he didn’t know what it was exactly.
“Do you know what the meeting of the emperors is?” asked Lin Feng to Lin Ruo Tian and Meng Ba.
“I don’t know much. Apart from Ba Huang, Jiu You is also going to be involved. All in all, many different influential imperial groups and some smaller groups are going to attend. Some people are already starting to rise for the occasion. Even in Tiantai, some of our mysterious disciples are traveling around and doing great things.” said Lin Ruo Tian.
Last time, they won against the strong cultivators from Tian Long Divine Castle thanks to a fellow disciple who was actually a direct disciple. He had only broken through to the second Zun Qi layer, but he was strong enough to kill cultivators of the fourth and fifth Zun Qi layer.
“Surprisingly, Jiu You is also going to join in.” thought Lin Feng. The meeting of the emperors was probably going to be more complex than he had previously imagined, especially considering everything that was already happening in Ba Huang.
“By the way, Lin Feng, Yang Zhan betrayed Tiantai and joined Tian Long Divine Castle with his sister Yang Zi Ye. The Yang Clan is going to move to the western part of Ba Huang soon. Our teachers and fellow disciples don’t have time to pay attention to them, but we and some fellow disciples who are going to pay a visit to the Yang Clan and take care of them. Do you want to come?”
Lin Feng had Emperor Wu Tian Jian’s sword, so he could easily kill cultivators at the top of the Zun Qi layer.
“They’re moving, so it must be a trap.” reasoned Lin Feng. The Yang Clan wasn’t that stupid.
“Of course we know that. The Yang Clan moving there is a provocation, they’re challenging us because they think they can easily kill us.” said Lin Ruo Tian.
“Who’s going?” asked Lin Feng. He couldn’t tell them that he couldn’t use Emperor Wu Tian Jian’s sword whenever he wished, and that cultivators of the fifth Zun Qi layer or above were a bit too strong for him.
“Our second fellow disciple is practicing cultivation these days, so Ruo Xie is coming and two other direct disciples, as well as a few fellow disciples of the Zun Qi layer!” replied Lin Ruo Tian. Lin Feng figured that wasn’t a bad group, but he was worried that Tian Long Divine Castle would send cultivators at the peak of the Zun Qi layer!
