Chapter 255 Arriving at the foot of the Sword Sect, an unexpected encounter with Zheng Tiejun.
After ambushing several young masters of the Dai family, Lin Feng used the Flying Fire Meteor to rush towards the Sword Sect.
He still has to make a trip to the Sword Sect.
My main purpose was to see the teacher and see if I could use the Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture to remove the cold poison from him.
If I can also win first place in the martial arts competition, making my teacher proud, then I can go home.
If the Dai family wants to retaliate against him, he'll accept it; at worst, he'll break through to the Innate Realm ahead of schedule.
After running for half an hour, he suddenly climbed upwards and flew above the clouds, using his protective aura to continue flying forward.
At this altitude, its flight speed increased even further.
Lin Feng was quite excited. It felt amazing to fly above the clouds. The sun shone brightly overhead, and the sea of clouds rolled below, creating a magnificent view.
Apart from being a bit cold and having thin air, everything else is great.
That is, himself, possessing the passive skill of having inexhaustible true energy illuminated by the sun and moon, plus the unparalleled lightness skill of riding the clouds and mist.
No matter how good other martial artists' lightness skills are, they cannot reach this level.
As Lin Feng was thinking, he suddenly saw an old man sitting quietly on the clouds not far ahead.
Lin Feng was startled and, without thinking, plunged down into the clouds.
It was lucky that I was able to get up here. If other martial artists could get up here, that would be terrifying. It would be best for me to leave first.
This incident instilled a sense of awe in Lin Feng, reminding him of the supreme deity that people worshipped daily. He realized that this world might be hiding extremely terrifying experts, and he should keep a low profile.
Their recent actions have been a bit too high-profile.
After landing, Lin Feng quickly returned to the official road.
We're very close to the Sword Sect now, and we can vaguely see five mountain peaks shrouded in clouds and mist.
These five peaks are: Heavenly Sword Peak, Earthly Sword Peak, Thunder Sword Peak, Cloud Sword Peak, and the Sword Sect Main Peak.
The four peaks of Heaven, Earth, Thunder, and Cloud are respectively controlled by the Ji family, the Dai family, the Huo family, and the Wen family.
However, the lineage of the Sword Sect's main peak leader was not controlled by any family. Every ten years, the leader's lineage would descend the mountain to find a disciple with exceptional talent, and every hundred years, a leader would be selected from among the disciples.
This ensures that the main peak of the Sword Sect always receives a constant influx of fresh blood, making it powerful and consistently suppressing the other four peaks of the Sword Sect.
Although the other four peaks are controlled by family forces, they still have to obediently hand over cultivation resources to the main peak every year.
Although the main peak of the Sword Sect is powerful, news about it is rarely heard from outsiders because the main peak lineage of the Sword Sect has always been indifferent to worldly affairs and only cares about cultivating in seclusion.
Therefore, it gives people the feeling that the four peaks of the Sword Sect control the entire Sword Sect.
On the way, Lin Feng bought another fast horse and pretended to be an ordinary martial arts practitioner traveling on the official road.
Lin Feng knew full well how powerful his clone's self-destruction was; it was even more powerful than the attack of an ordinary innate expert, and those four boys from the Dai family would have a hard time surviving.
With such a major incident, the Dai family must be furious and will definitely send people down the mountain to find the murderer.
I should try to avoid flying in the sky to avoid being seen by people from the Dai family.
In the evening, Lin Feng arrived at Wanjian City at the foot of Jianzong Mountain.
Wanjian City was comparable to a prefecture city, and the city was bustling with activity.
This city was originally a small town where the Sword Sect settled their families, and it gradually developed into a large city over the past few hundred years.
The city streets are wide, lined with tall buildings, and filled with all kinds of shops.
After wandering around for a while, Lin Feng discovered a pastry shop. This shop was unique in that it shaped its pastries into various weapons, which looked quite novel.
Seeing these snacks, Lin Feng thought of his children at home. He always had to bring them something when he came out, and his three little foodies would definitely love this stuff.
Lin Feng bought a large box of snacks and carried it on his shoulder, planning to put it into his storage space when no one was around.
As he walked, he suddenly saw a hunched figure with tattered clothes and gray hair carrying shoe repair tools and walking into a small alley.
Martial artists have abundant qi and blood, and their memories are also exceptionally good. Lin Feng immediately remembered who this person was.
Lin Feng walked over and called out.
"Brother Zheng, is that you?"
The old man, who had his back to Lin Feng, trembled and slowly turned around, his eyes filled with surprise. "Brother Lin, what brings you here?"
Looking at Zheng Tiejun, Lin Feng felt a pang of sadness. Zheng Tiejun had been so full of vigor when he first arrived in Qinghe County.
Lin Feng could tell that Zheng Tiejun genuinely wanted to do something practical for the people back then. However, it was only after his childhood sweetheart, his junior sister, ran off with someone else that Zheng Tiejun's personality changed drastically, and he began to pursue power and profit.
Lin Feng didn't answer but instead asked, "Brother Zheng, what happened to you?"
Zheng Tiejun's face twitched and his teeth chattered, as if he was extremely reluctant to bring up the matter.
Finally, he sighed and said, "This is a long story. If you don't mind, Brother Lin, come to my place, have a cup of tea, and we brothers can talk about it slowly."
