Chapter 1588: The Power of the Deployment Talisman
Lin Feng walked through the market in the buffer zone, observing the many priceless treasures. Lin Feng bought some materials for his talisman first and then he went to a place to get furs.
“I need a high-quality fur to carve holy marks with, Sir.” said Lin Feng to an old man in a shop. He needed high-level items because ordinary items couldn’t stand holy marks’ strength.
“What animal level?” asked the old man.
“As high as possible.” replied Lin Feng.
“I have a fur from an animal at the top of the Zun Qi layer: a cyan thunder lion. But it’s expensive…” said the old man. High-level Zun beasts were difficult to kill, so their products were naturally extremely expensive.
“A few holy weapons should be enough, right?” asked Lin Feng. He had many holy weapons to bargain with after he had gathered them during previous battles.
The old man looked at the holy weapons and smiled, “That’s fine.”
Then, Lin Feng exchanged the lion fur for the holy weapons. The fur was cyan and purple in color and looked to be in great quality. He didn’t care about the holy weapons that much. With that fur, he could make a great talisman. If he managed to make a talisman, it would be priceless, even more valuable than all those holy weapons.
Lin Feng took the fur and left the shop. He walked short distance and stopped again, this time because some people had appeared in front of him. The leader of the group looked like a noble.
“Your Excellency, we want to exchange something for that animal fur you bought.” said the young man who was wearing golden clothes. Lin Feng recognized the clothes as those worn by cultivators from the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness.
“What are you asking for it?” asked Lin Feng smiling.
“This holy weapon for your fur.” said the young man, taking out a medium-level holy weapon. Lin Feng smiled again while saying indifferently, “Why don’t you just steal it?”
The young man frowned after he heard Lin Feng, but tried to remain calm and smiled calmly back, “Your Excellency, I’m Zhou Tian Mu from the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness. If you give me that fur, you’ll be able to say that you are my friend.”
“Why would I need that?” asked Lin Feng. He wasn’t in a hurry to leave. He was wondering who Zhou Tian Mu was relative to Zhou Tian Xiao and Zhou Tian Ruo. Zhou Tian Mu was at the top of the eighth Zun Qi layer and his Qi wasn’t stable. Thus, Zhou Tian Mu didn’t seem that strong.
Zhou Tian Mu looked at Lin Feng in a cold way and said, “Your Excellency, I am willing to exchange a holy weapon for your fur, don’t be disrespectful now!”
Even though Zhou Tian Mu didn’t look amazing, he knew all the strong younger people in the nine great celestial castles and Lin Feng wasn’t one of them.
“Why are you even being polite with him! Just steal his item!” said someone next to Zhou Tian Mu in a rude way. He was probably one of Zhou Tian Mu’s guards because he had broken through to the ninth Zun Qi layer.
“Very good, I’ll use you to see how powerful my talisman is!” said Lin Feng in a low voice. The guy in front of him took a large step towards him and a gigantic golden hand suddenly appeared above Lin Feng. But Lin Feng used his talisman against the golden hand.
“Boom!” Explosions sounded as that strong cultivator gave a horrible shriek. His hand was broken and it was on fire.
“Slash…” he released golden holy Qi from his other hand to heal himself. Quickly enough, he managed to put out the fire. His face was deathly pale, like a sheet of paper, as he stared at his hand. That deployment talisman was terrifying.
Zhou Tian Mu and the other guy were shocked. That person’s Qi looked ordinary, but it was actually very strong. Since Lin Feng looked yellowish and sick, Zhou Tian Mu had first proposed an exchange. He didn’t want to steal it directly, but then Lin Feng had been impolite, so he needed to be taught a lesson.
Lin Feng just wanted to try out his talisman, of which he had used demon and fire abstruse energies to carve the holy marks with. He had also used the shattering deployment spell, so defeating a cultivator of the ninth Zun Qi layer was nothing exceptional. He couldn’t wait to improve his talisman with better materials, then he could crush any cultivator of the Zun Qi layer.
“How dare you!” said Zhou Tian Mu. Lin Feng smiled in a strange way and said, “Did you think I was going to let him attack me without protecting myself?”
Lin Feng then took out two talismans and left. Zhou Tian Mu looked pale, “Who are you? How come you dare attack our people from the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness?”
“The Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness?” said Lin Feng, stopping in the air. He looked at Zhou Tian Mu in a cold way and said, “Give me your rings and break your connections to them.”
“Kaboom!” Zhou Tian Mu immediately released Qi.
“Do you want me to take them myself?” asked Lin Feng, walking towards them with his deployment talisman in-hand.
Suddenly, Lin Feng disappeared as he turned into a shadow. The one whose hand had been injured a moment before looked terrified. He wanted to escape, but Lin Feng’s deployment talisman immediately crashed onto his chest. Pieces of flesh exploded, and he started burning. He gave horrible shrieks before he was quickly reduced to ash.
“Isn’t that Zhou Tian Mu? He likes to bully weaker people, but he didn’t expect to run into a talisman expert!”
“People who fabricate deployment talismans are rare, and yet, he’s a good one. He killed a cultivator of the ninth Zun Qi layer effortlessly with that talisman. I wonder if he made it himself, because if he did, he’s even more talented than I’m giving him credit for!” somebody in surrounding crowd said.
Lin Feng didn’t care about them. He walked to the one who was burning, knelt a bit, and took his ring. Then he said indifferently, “You’re very disrespectful.”
Then, Lin Feng raised his head and looked at Zhou Tian Mu and the other guy. He could easily kill them with his strength, but he had changed his face, so he couldn’t use his real powers. He was Mu En from the Everlasting Palace now and he was a deployment spell caster.
“Give them to me or I’ll take them myself.” said Lin Feng cruelly. He looked like a freak with his sickly-yellow face.
“Anyone can make mistakes, but you must forgive them when possible. The Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness wants friends like you.” said Zhou Tian Mu, trying to scare Lin Feng using the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness’ reputation.
“I don’t care about that.” said Lin Feng as he stepped towards Zhou Tian Mu. But Lin Feng’s intimidation worked as he immediately took out his ring and threw it at Lin Feng.
“If you guys hide anything from me, I’ll do the same to you.” said Lin Feng indifferently. Zhou Tian Mu glanced at his friend, and they both took out more rings and threw them at Lin Feng. They didn’t want to take any risks now that they knew Lin Feng could easily kill them.
“Piss off now.” said Lin Feng. Zhou Tian Mu and his guard then left.
Lin Feng ignored them and continued walking ahead, not concealing himself as he moved.
“People who make talismans are interesting. Surprisingly, that guy doesn’t fear the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness.” thought the crowd in the distance. The Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness will definitely look for him at some point, after all, Zhou Tian Mu was part of their direct lineage.
