Chapter 302 301: The Gathering Storm
Beichen Feng's mission this time wasn't to seize some Profound Spirit Supreme Treasure. His goal was to kill Ling Fei.
So after receiving the news, Beichen Feng had no intention of acting alone.
He wanted to kill Ling Fei in one fell swoop.
If he completed this mission, the Sect would naturally reward him handsomely.
"What? You've found a trace of Ling Fei?"
"Let's go!" After Beichen Feng released the news, people from the various sects immediately began to converge on the location.
Although it was said to be various sects, it was actually just people from the Dongze Sect, Wind Watching Cliff, and Thousand Lakes Mountain.
Though there were other sects in the Falling Star Mountain Range, they didn't dare to openly move against Ling Fei unless their own sects gave the order.
The other sects, of course, weren't foolish enough to act now. They were more than happy to watch these sects fight with the Lingyun Sect.
Thus, within the Fallen Star Abyss, team after team of Celestial Pill Realm powerhouses gathered.
The Dongze Sect, Thousand Lakes Mountain, and Wind Watching Cliff had also dispatched their own Celestial Pill Realm geniuses, who came to kill, wielding Profound Spirit Treasures.
Their posture made it clear they intended to utterly annihilate Ling Fei here and now.
Of course, the most formidable force was naturally the Beiming Sword Sect. The geniuses they sent were not limited to just Beichen Feng.
'Beichen Feng has news of Ling Fei.' In a mountain gorge, Beishan Yun's brow twitched slightly as he put away his Waist Token.
"Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, he led his team of Celestial Pill Realm powerhouses to rendezvous with Beichen Feng.
...
Within the Falling Star Mountain Range, a steady stream of people went after Ling Fei to hunt him down.
"This is where the battle took place." Beichen Feng had now led his men to the site of Ling Fei's fight with the scar-faced man and the others.
"I can sense the aura of my brother Yu's Sword Shield here." Beichen Feng's gaze sharpened as he sensed a familiar aura in the Void.
He had seen Beichen Yu's Profound Spirit Treasure, the Sword Shield, back when he first obtained it.
They had even sparred back then.
"It seems the one who acted earlier was indeed Ling Fei," said a young Celestial Pill Realm cultivator behind Beichen Feng.
"It must be. After him!" Beichen Feng's gaze turned cold as he gave chase.
'People from the Beiming Sword Sect. Good, you've come at just the right time.' From a distance, Ling Fei took in the entire scene.
Now, when his Heart Spirit spread out, he could perceive everything within a ten-li radius.
Withdrawing his Heart Spirit, Ling Fei continued to search for a path forward.
'It should be just ahead.' After locking onto an area, Ling Fei mounted his Golden Eagle and flew off at top speed.
One hour later, Ling Fei appeared at the edge of a Mountain Abyss completely shrouded in clouds and mist.
The Mountain Abyss ahead was deep. Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, it emitted a heart-pounding fluctuation, the kind that even Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses would be wary of.
"Ling Fei, that's the Mist Mountain Abyss. There's an Illusion Array inside. Several Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators have perished within it." As Ling Fei arrived, Grand Elder Fang's voice sounded in his ear. The elder had been secretly following Ling Fei to ensure his safety and immediately issued a warning upon seeing him arrive here.
"It seems there's an opportunity here," Ling Fei said with a smile.
Then, he began to survey the mountain peak where he stood.
On the peak, he was surprised to find a Hand Seal.
The Hand Seal was imprinted on the mountain peak, and a tyrannical aura emanated from it.
The aura exuded by this palm strike was somewhat similar to the one from when the Marsh King had used his Heaven-Reaching Hand.
A single palm strike that could shatter the Void. The mountain peak was also covered in a web of spreading cracks.
"The Hand Seal is here, so this must be the place." Seeing this Hand Seal, Ling Fei was certain that this was the Spirit Cave the Marsh King had mentioned.
Within this Mountain Abyss, there was a cave where several stalks of Spiritual Essence grew.
They were stalks of Dragon Spirit Grass, nurtured by Dragon Qi.
This type of Spiritual Essence would be of immense benefit to Ling Fei in cultivating his True Dragon Body.
"An opportunity?" Grand Elder Fang was taken aback, but his brow quickly furrowed. "The people from the Beiming Sword Sect are here, along with those from the other sects. Can you... handle them?" At that moment, his Heart Spirit stirred, and he sensed the young cultivators flying toward them.
"Rest assured, Elder. I have my own ways of dealing with them," Ling Fei said. "In any case, since they've come to kill me, they'll have to pay a price."
He, too, had sensed the fluctuations in the distance.
Grand Elder Fang frowned slightly. He couldn't shake the feeling that this was too risky.
Just as Grand Elder Fang was frowning, a powerful Divine Thought swept across the area.
"Not good. A Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse has come." When this Divine Thought swept past, Grand Elder Fang's face became grim.
He feared that this incident was about to cause a major storm, just as they had predicted.
As for the outcome, everything was unknown.
He quickly sent out a message.
...
"Ling Fei is over there!" As Ling Fei stood by the Mist Mountain Abyss, a cry of alarm came from the distance.
It was Beichen Feng, who had arrived with a group of cultivators.
Beichen Feng landed a hundred meters away from Ling Fei.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
As Beichen Feng landed, Beishan Yun followed close behind.
"So that's Ling Fei?" Beishan Yun landed, a faint smile playing on his lips as he asked the question to Beichen Feng beside him.
This Beishan Yun was a genius from the North Mountain Lineage and had reached the Celestial Pill Realm long ago, so his attitude toward Beichen Feng was slightly condescending.
"Correct. He is Ling Fei." Beichen Feng gave Beishan Yun a brief glance before his gaze locked onto Ling Fei in front of them.
A few months ago, Beichen Feng had only been at the Profound Pill Realm.
But in just over two months, he had now broken through to the Celestial Pill Realm.
Even so, he didn't dare to be the least bit careless as he looked at the Ling Fei before him.
This young man before them had been able to slay several Profound Pill Realm powerhouses in a row within the Dongze Ruins.
'Now that he has entered the Small Primordial Pill Realm, can he kill a Celestial Pill Realm powerhouse wielding a Profound Spirit Treasure?'
Although Beichen Feng was very confident in himself, he still had to be on guard.
"If you and I attack together, we should be able to take him down, right?" Beishan Yun said dismissively.
He had been in the Celestial Pill Realm for a long time and even wielded a Profound Spirit Sword. Was he really supposed to worry about some Small Primordial Pill Realm brat?
"Let's wait a bit longer," Beichen Feng said.
"Wait for what?" Beishan Yun asked.
"Wait for the people from the Dongze Sect, Wind Watching Cliff, and Thousand Lakes Mountain. If we have five Celestial Pill Realm powerhouses with Profound Spirit Treasures attacking, supported by over a hundred other Celestial Pill Realm powerhouses, killing him shouldn't be difficult," Beichen Feng said. In his view, if the four major powers attacked together, it would be foolproof.
"We have to wait for the other three sects just to kill a Small Primordial Pill Realm brat?" Hearing this, Beishan Yun frowned.
'Isn't that overestimating Ling Fei a bit too much?'
"Beichen Feng, you didn't used to be this timid!" Beishan Yun said.
"There might be powerhouses from the Lingyun Sect hidden nearby. We won't have many chances to strike, so we must kill him in one fell swoop," Beichen Feng explained.
"That may be so, but haven't people from our Beiming Sword Sect also arrived?" Beishan Yun transmitted his voice.
This time, the Beiming Sword Sect hadn't just sent powerhouses; they had sent more than one.
This time, the Beiming Sword Sect was absolutely determined to kill Ling Fei!
'Why be so timid and hesitant?'
This was all because half a month ago, Ling Fei had fought four battles and achieved four enlightenments, displaying a heaven-defying talent for Martial Arts. This was what made the Beiming Sword Sect and the other three sects so determined.
They were afraid the Lingyun Sect would produce a powerhouse skilled in the Dual Cultivation of Alchemy and Martial Arts, afraid this young man would grow to a point where they could no longer control him.
After all, Ling Fei had obtained the inheritance of the Yuan Feng Pill King!
