Chapter 1202: Tian Long Divine Castle
Time passed and six more months went by. People were still trying to know if it was true that Qiu Yue Xin had broken through to the Zun Qi layer.
People started thinking that Qiu Yue Xin probably had a special body, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to break through from the seventh Tian Qi layer to the Zun Qi layer in only half a year. Even the ten strongest cultivators of the region were not capable of doing that.
After that, more gossip spread in the region. Long Teng from Tian Long Divine Castle in the western part of Ba Huang had apparently also broken through to the Zun Qi layer. Some people had also noticed that Tian Long Divine Castle paid a secret visit to the Qiu Clan. One word was on everyone’s mind: wedding.
Tian Long Divine Castle wanted Long Teng to marry Qiu Yue Xin. They did that before knowing what Qiu Yue Xin’s special body was to increase their chances.
For the Qiu Clan, being able to get close to Tian Long Divine Castle was an honor, but because of Tiantai, it was a bit complicated. After all, Qiu Yue Xin was one of Tiantai’s disciples and there were tensions between Tian Long Divine Castle and Tiantai.
The Qiu Clan didn’t want to miss that opportunity though. If things went well, they’d be part of an imperial group of influence. Besides, the Diviner had told Long Teng that he’d become an emperor someday. That would also be great for the Qiu Clan.
At the same time, in the northern part of Ba Huang, the news that Xuan Yuan was getting ready to marry Yang Zi Ye had travelled as well.
…………
Lin Feng didn’t know those things, though. He was still in the small village enjoying life and nature. Going up and down the mountain was now everybody’s daily exercise in that village. Their master asked them to do that after watching Lin Feng.
Ye Xue was following them all, but she didn’t look focused. Instead, he was looking at the waterfall.
At the foot of the waterfall, there was a silhouette in white clothes, looking at the water.
“Ye Xue, you’re secretly looking at Lin Feng again.” said the master, he was smiling because he thought she always did this.
“She’s always looking at him.” said Xiao Chen in a cute way.
Ye Xue blushed and lowered her head.
“Haha, Ye Xue, if I were a girl, I would also like Lin Feng. Besides, he probably hides his cultivation level. That would explain why he’s so enigmatic and unfathomable!” said the master.
“Master, you’re making fun of me again.” said Ye Xue. Then she added, “Besides, he’s just an ordinary man, he is not a cultivator at all. Have you ever seen him practice cultivation?”
“I’m going to play with Uncle Lin!” said Xiao Chen running towards Lin Feng. Even though he was a baby, he was already quite fast.
“Haha, Xiao Chen will be able to start practicing cultivation soon!” said the master laughing and looking at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen kept running towards the waterfall and Ye Xue and the master let him.
Xiao Chen was running and calling Lin Feng, however, he stopped. Lin Feng had cut the waterfall with a finger and it stopped flowing.
“Kacha!” the child fell down on the ground, touched her head and continued walking towards Lin Feng. Then, the waterfall was flowing again.
She turned around and walked back towards the master and Ye Xue while shouting, “Master, aunty, master, aunty…”
“What’s wrong, Xiao Chen?” asked the master when he saw the little girl come back.
“Uncle Lin put his finger in the waterfall… and it stopped flowing!” she was breathing heavily in a very cute way.
When the master heard that, he too stared at the waterfall.
“You understand nothing, don’t talk such nonsense.” said Ye Xue caressing Xiao Chen’s hair.
“Aunty, I’m telling the truth!” said the child showing the palm of her hands.
“Alright, alright, you’re telling the truth.” said Ye Xue pinching her cheeks.
“Woo, woo, woo…” in the distance, a sound echoed into the mountains, breaking the silence of the countryside. Everybody gazed into the distance to see what was happening.
“Let’s go!” everybody started running in that direction.
Lin Feng turned around and saw that everybody was leaving in the distance. He frowned, why did they suddenly start running.
“I should go too.” whispered Lin Feng. He had stayed in the village for a while now, but he loved it there.
There was dust in the village, and the only road in the village was cracking as craters appeared. The villagers were terrified.
When the master and the others arrived, they saw a group of dragon horses, their riders looked domineering and majestic. Those people seemed to despise the villagers.
“Ye Xue, take Xiao Chen away!” said the master to Ye Xue. He ran towards the riders and said to the leader, a young man, “You just arrived in Longquan Village, why cause trouble?”
“We’ve heard you have a stone called the Dragon Source Stone, and we want it.” said the young man aggressively.
The crowd was furious when they heard him. The Dragon Source Stone was a precious treasure which belonged to their ancestors. They could practice cultivation so quickly thanks to that stone. How could they give it up?
When the master heard the crowd burst into an uproar, he shook his hand and said, “Your Excellency, the Dragon Source Stone is a gift from our ancestors, don’t insist please.”
“Shut the hell up!” shouted the young man aggressively. “I never repeat myself, go and take the Dragon Source Stone out!”
“Your Excellency, Tian Long Divine Castle is a powerful imperial group, isn’t it a bit exaggerated to act like this?” said the master in a cold way. He couldn’t hand over their ancestors’ gifts.
“What?” the young man frowned and his facial expression was cold looking. A cultivator from the village recognized people from Tian Long Divine Castle?
“Ye Xue, go and find Lin Feng, hurry up!” said the master to Ye Xue using telepathy.
“Hurry up!” Ye Xue grinded her teeth and ran away.
“How beautiful, but can she run away?” the young man smiled coldly and said, “Since you know we’re from Tian Long Divine Castle, will you still oppose us?”
“We won’t give away our ancestors’ gifts!” said the master in a cold way.
“Very good.” said the young man looking furious. “You just sent the girl to find other people I guess. I’ve checked the village before coming though. Apart from you who’s broken through to the seventh Tian Qi layer, there’s nobody else here who’s at the top of the Tian Qi layer. Who could she look for now?”
The master’s face turned deathly pale. Those people were from Tian Long Divine Castle and the weakest one had broken through to the fifth Tian Qi layer. The leading young man had broken through to the eighth Tian Qi layer. Could Lin Feng be of any help?
“Since you sent her to find someone, I’ll wait. Then, I’ll kill everyone at the same time in one shot. It’ll be less troublesome that way.” said the young man calmly and indifferently. Since the villages knew they were from Tian Long Divine Castle, they couldn’t let any of them live.
“You…” the master’s face had turned deathly pale. How cruel!
“Cut his hands first!” said the young man coldly. Two cultivators laughed and jumped off their horses, walking towards the master.
“My fellow disciples, Long Teng is going to ask for Qiu Yue Xin’s hand. For that, he needs a gift, and the Dragon Source Stone will be perfect.” the master of the village had only broken through to the seventh Tian Qi layer, he couldn’t do much against them. Two horrible shrieks spread in the distance. The crowd was furious.
“Everybody stop!” shouted the master furiously. Everybody looked terrified. They were all staring at their master, kneeling down on the ground. Someone grabbed his arm and snapped it off.
“Don’t harm our master!” said Xiao Chen running towards them. He was furious when she saw that their master’s arm was cut off.
“Go back!” shouted the master.
“No, I won’t let them hurt you. Aunty went to find Uncle Lin, he is very strong and he will save you!” said Xiao Chen. He had said where Ye Xue had gone in front of those people. He was a child so he didn’t realize what he had done.
“How cute!” said the young man on the horse. He jumped off the horse and said with an evil smile, “Come and give me a hug.”
“I beg you, don’t harm her, she’s just a child!” said the master furiously.
“Come and give me a hug!” said the young man in a cold way.
“Hehe!” the one who had cut the master’s arm off laughed and stretched his hands out towards the child.
“Ah…” However, at that moment, he put his hands on his face, which turned black. Then he slowly collapsed, dead!
Everybody was astonished. He was dead?
