Chapter 1511 - 819: Breakthrough (Part 3)
Although he has broken through now, compared to opening the First Spirit Knot and being able to fight against Martial Artists at the level of the Third Spirit Knot without being inferior, Lin Feng felt a bit of pressure facing Qin Mingyue, sensing that if he faced a Martial Artist of the Third Spirit Knot, it might not be as easy as before.
It seemed he had been sitting in a well, thinking that joining forces with Mingyue that day would be enough to deal with the witch. If they really fought, dealing with him would probably be a matter of a single move for the witch.
At this moment, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became awkward. After expressing thanks, they found they had nothing to say, as there seemed to be little common language between them, and they didn’t really know each other.
Feeling this, Lin Feng first said, "Let’s reintroduce ourselves. I am Lin Feng, a disciple of the Star-Gazing Pavilion, from the lower division. I just went through a trial and came out of Biyao to temper myself, intending to elevate my cultivation to the next level."
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s introduction, Qin Mingyue smiled faintly and said, "Qin Mingyue from Sword Sect, an esoteric sect that has never meddled in worldly affairs. I entered the sect when I was young and have only now returned home. As for Miss Qin Ya from my family, she is my cousin."
Both spoke of some matters but hid most of them. After all, even though they felt a good vibe towards each other, the time they had met was too short to reveal their secrets.
Then, Lin Feng said to Qin Mingyue, "Let me take you to Giant Sea City. It’s best not to travel with the attendants; otherwise, the witch will keep her eyes on you. May I ask, why is the witch targeting you? Moreover, I feel the witch hasn’t exerted her full strength."
Qin Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "I’m not clear about the witch’s actions, though I have guessed her intentions a bit. Our Sword Sect has always had good relations with Cihang Holy Land, another hidden sect, but its reputation surpasses the Six Great Sects as the leader of the righteous path, sending out a Holy Daughter every generation to wander the world, resonating with the Turquoise Pool. I think she might want to use me to see if she can gather information about the Cihang Holy Daughter."
Lin Feng sensed something was off in Qin Mingyue’s words, but the issue indeed seemed to relate to this Cihang Holy Daughter. As for Cihang Holy Land, Lin Feng had heard of it being a sacred place with a solid reputation in the righteous world, substantially stronger than the Six Great Sects, capable of determining the rise and fall of a nation and the appointment of its king.
It seemed this matter should be related to the Cihang Holy Daughter, but Qin Mingyue was still hiding something.
Lin Feng didn’t mind and directly said to Qin Mingyue, "Let’s go."
As he spoke, Lin Feng summoned a peregrine falcon, a streak of light flew out from his Qiankun Bag, then landed beside Lin Feng, letting out a light chirp, appearing extremely close to him.
Upon seeing the peregrine falcon, even Qin Mingyue was shocked. This peregrine falcon was indeed a mount, comparable to the cranes tamed within the large sects. If one possessed such a creature, returning to Giant Sea City would require little effort.
Qin Mingyue gave Lin Feng a quiet glance, thinking to herself that he was indeed a disciple from the Star-Gazing Pavilion. It seemed that Lin Feng was quite a favored disciple in the pavilion.
In fact, Qin Mingyue was mistaken. Though Lin Feng was indeed a disciple of the Star-Gazing Pavilion, he was definitely not a highly valued one—just a disciple. Yet, this peregrine falcon came from his acquisition within Biyao.
"No wonder Biyao Immortal Realm has such spiritual objects," Qin Mingyue praised, then stepped onto the peregrine falcon, standing shoulder to shoulder with Lin Feng. At that moment, the peregrine falcon took off into the sky, flying swiftly towards the direction Lin Feng pointed—Giant Sea City.
