Wasn’t it soone from the Death Shadow Sect who left a secret ssage for themselves to co here? How can it be Chen Fei?
Jiang Liulin looked at Chen Fei, knowing that it was already too late to leave at this point. Just as she was about to approach, she realized that she couldn’t move her body at all, and even her entire body’s elental energy had been completely imprisoned.
Her cultivation at the later stage of the Aperture Tempering realm had beco as useless as an ornant, turning her into an ordinary person.
Chen Fei glanced at Jiang Liulin, and in the next mont, both of them disappeared within the restaurant, leaving behind only a few pieces of silver on the table where Chen Fei had just been sitting.
Outside Xuanlin City, Chen Fei and Jiang Liulin’s figures landed on a hilltop. From here, they could only vaguely see the outline of Xuanlin City.
“Elder Chen!” Jiang Liulin realized that she could move again and quickly bowed to Chen Fei.
“I wonder why Elder Chen has brought here. What is the matter?”
Jiang Liulin continued to bow in front of Chen Fei. Faced with such a strong expert in the Aperture Tempering realm, Jiang Liulin dared not show any negligence.
“Do you know ?” Chen Fei asked calmly.
“Elder Chen, your display of power in the Haiyue Cave is known to everyone in the Sea Peak City,” Jiang Liulin deliberately smiled and said.
“Just a mont ago at the restaurant, were you looking for soone from the Death Shadow Sect?” Chen Fei looked at Jiang Liulin, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
Chen Fei had originally thought that he might see soone in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm when he was in the restaurant. However, he didn’t expect a cultivator in the Aperture Tempering realm to co out. It was clear that the one who had issued this assassination mission didn’t want to reveal their true identity.
“The Death Shadow Sect?”
Jiang Liulin’s expression couldn’t help but be startled, and then she quickly shook her head, speaking earnestly, “Elder Chen, you’ve misunderstood. I was invited by a friend to go to that restaurant, and I have no connection to the Death Shadow Sect.”
“Do you know about the Death Shadow Sect?” Chen Fei asked.
“I am certainly aware of the na of the Death Shadow Sect,” Jiang Liulin said, trying to control her emotions as she nodded slowly.
“Do you think such a coincidence can happen in this world?”
Chen Fei looked at Jiang Liulin, shook his head slightly, and said, “Forget it, I won’t say more to you. I’ll go check it out myself.”
As Jiang Liulin heard Chen Fei’s words, before she could understand their aning, she suddenly felt her mind go blank.
In a daze, it seed like she had experienced many things, but she couldn’t recall what had happened.
This feeling made Jiang Liulin sowhat uneasy. She concentrated her mind, trying to make herself more alert. However, there was a strong pressure pushing down on her.
In the face of this force, Jiang Liulin had no resistance at all.
“Exhale!”
Jiang Liulin’s eyes suddenly opened wide, as if she had been subrged in water and suddenly obtained oxygen. She started breathing rapidly.
Then, as if rembering sothing, Jiang Liulin looked around and, when she saw the mountain gate in front of her, her face turned deathly pale.
This was the Divine Waters Sect, with Miao Wanhong as its strongest mber, one of the most powerful sects in the Sea Peak City.
Jiang Liulin turned to look at Chen Fei beside her, her eyes filled with fear, as if her most important secret had been forcibly exposed.
On the surface, Jiang Liulin was the patriarch of the Jiang family and had a slight reputation within Xuanlin City. He was also the most powerful mber of the Jiang family. However, in reality, Jiang Liulin was a disciple of the Divine Waters Sect, cultivated and nurtured specifically as an external force for the sect.
For certain tasks that the Divine Waters Sect couldn’t handle directly, they relied on the Jiang family to do the job.
Just like this ti when they contacted the Death Shadow Sect to assassinate Chen Fei, Jiang Liulin was responsible for it.
The Death Shadow Sect had always been very good at keeping the confidentiality of its employers, but due to the caution of Mo Shiyi and the others, they were still unwilling to appear in person, and thus, they used this thod as an interdiary.
But now, it had co to the point where Chen Fei had forcefully uncovered everything.
Jiang Liulin’s mouth trembled, wanting to speak, but not knowing what to say. Since he had already appeared here, it ant that Chen Fei knew everything. Anything else he said now would be aningless.
Chen Fei didn’t look at Jiang Liulin. The Qjanyuan Sword in his hand moved slightly, and a sword intent soared into the sky, stirring the clouds in the sky.
Such an astonishing sword intent outside the mountain gate alard everyone in the Divine Waters Sect. Miao Wanhong, on the main peak, opened his eyes and looked towards the sword intent.
With just one glance, Miao Wanhong’s expression changed slightly. He was too familiar with this sword intent, as not long ago, he had been injured by it.
What was even more crucial was that, due to the guilty conscience at this mont, Miao Wanhong inexplicably felt a sense of unease when facing this sword intent.
Miao Wanhong was hesitating whether to activate the spiritual weapon he held in his arms when suddenly he sensed that soone’s gaze was locked onto him. Subconsciously, he raised his head and happened to see Chen Fei floating in mid-air in the distance.
Although the two sides were several miles apart now, it didn’t affect their vision as cultivators in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.
Miao Wanhong turned slightly and saw soone standing beside Chen Fei. His face imdiately changed drastically. In response to this, Miao Wanhong imdiately activated the spiritual weapon in his possession, and hundreds of miles away, Mo Shiyi and the other three instantly sensed it.
Mo Shiyi and the other three were filled with confusion, but as allies, they shot up into the sky and rushed in the direction of the Divine Waters Sect.
“Elder Miao, won’t you co out for a chat?”
Chen Fei’s voice ca from afar, carrying a profound amount of spiritual power that caused ripples in the entire formation of the Divine Waters Sect. It also made the people of the sect notice the two figures in the sky.
So of the more powerful Aperture Tempering cultivators quickly recognized Chen Fei’s face and couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread. As for the person beside Chen Fei, very few recognized them, but those who did felt a sudden panic.
However, those who recognized Chen Fei couldn’t help but feel a growing unease.
They didn’t know exactly what had happened, but they knew that Chen Fei was stronger than Miao Wanhong, a fact that had beco clear when they were inside the Haiyue Cave.
Now, with Chen Fei blocking their way like this, it was evident that sothing was amiss.
“Elder Chen, why have you co to our Divine Waters Sect? What is the purpose?”
Everyone in the Divine Waters Sect was watching, and Miao Wanhong couldn’t afford to hide. If he did, the Divine Waters Sect’s reputation in the Sea Peak City would be tarnished beyond repair.
Miao Wanhong moved swiftly and stopped about one mile away from Chen Fei. As he got closer, he felt a certain trepidation.
After all, he had experienced Chen Fei’s combat power firsthand. Now that Chen Fei had brought Jiang Liulin with him, it was likely that he knew about the incident that had occurred.
In this situation, Miao Wanhong was genuinely concerned that Chen Fei might suddenly attack and kill him on the spot with a single sword strike.
Of course, with the Divine Waters Sect’s formation that had been cultivated for many years, Miao Wanhong’s combat power would be greatly enhanced. However, he had no certainty about how much his strength could ultimately be increased or whether he could defeat Chen Fei.
Just like in the Flag Capture Competition, no one had considered Chen Fei a threat initially, but this newcor who had recently broken through to the Aperture Tempering realm had nearly dominated the entire contest.
Therefore, Miao Wanhong no longer dared to casually assess Chen Fei’s true strength. Perhaps what Chen Fei had shown in the Haiyue Cave was not his full power.
However, within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, mbers were not allowed to engage in battles with other sects or forces without proper authorization. If Chen Fei did act this way, regardless of the outco of this confrontation, he would be held accountable by the Thousand Feathers Alliance.
Faced with a Combined Aperture Tempering cultivator like Chen Fei, the Thousand Feathers Alliance would undoubtedly take strict asures to prevent such incidents.
But Miao Wanhong didn’t want to trade his life for the consequences Chen Fei might face in the future. His own life was his highest priority, and if his life was lost, he didn’t care about the fate of others.
“Do you recognize this person?” Chen Fei’s right hand moved slightly, and Jiang Liulin was brought forward.
“I don’t know,” Miao Wanhong looked at Jiang Liulin seriously and then shook his head.
“In this way, abandoning your own disciple, Elder Miao, must have chilled many hearts,” Chen Fei said softly upon hearing Miao Wanhong’s words.
“What do you an by this, Elder Chen? I don’t even know this person. If she has said anything derogatory about my Divine Waters Sect, I hope Elder Chen can discern the truth and not be misled,” Miao Wanhong said in a stern tone.
Upon hearing Miao Wanhong’s words, the light in Jiang Liulin’s eyes dimd.
Although she knew that she would be cast aside if sothing went wrong, hearing Miao Wanhong say it so openly was still hard for him to accept.
Having devoted her entire life to the Divine Waters Sect, it was a tragic and lonely outco to find herself in this situation.
“Elder Miao, not recognizing this person is not an issue.”
Chen Fei nodded, and an envelope floated out from his sleeve, heading straight for Miao Wanhong.
Miao Wanhong looked at the approaching envelope and had a bad feeling.
“During our previous encounter in the Haiyue Cave, we didn’t have much ti to discuss martial arts. That’s why I ca here today to present a challenge to Elder Miao. I hope Elder Miao won’t refuse!”
As Chen Fei’s words fell, the envelope trembled slightly, and countless rays of light emanated from it. Then, as if transford into a thunderous explosion, it burst open in mid-air.
In the sky, a mark appeared as if soone had slashed through the sky with a sharp sword.
“Elder Chen, what does this an?”
Miao Wanhong’s heart trembled slightly, but he tried to maintain a calm deanor and shouted loudly.
“Just as I ntioned earlier, I would like to learn from Elder Miao’s expertise. I hope Elder Miao won’t hesitate to teach !”
Chen Fei’s smile had vanished from his face, and a fierce aura enveloped the surroundings.
Within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, under normal circumstances, mutual combat was strictly prohibited, at least on the surface. Especially the extermination of an entire sect, it had been many years since anyone had dared to attempt such a thing.
If they did, it was always done quietly.
But for sects with Aperture Tempering cultivators guarding them, it was impossible to silently destroy them. Unless it was in a remote area of the outer seas, assassinating them without anyone noticing.
Chen Fei didn’t want to assassinate; he wanted to kill openly!
Since the person from the Death Shadow Sect dared to call for this, Chen Fei intended to kill them one by one in front of everyone in the Sea Peak City!
The first target he chose was Miao Wanhong.
While the Thousand Feathers Alliance prohibited open combat, conflicts still had to be resolved sohow, and that’s where another rule ca into play: a blood battle..
