Chapter 1273: The Youngster Turns Out to Be Myself
Seeing Yi Feng respond with a faint smile, the uncle and nephew felt as if struck by lightning.
Especially the handsome uncle, Lin Xiao, who was suddenly choked up and couldn't utter a single word. All the anger from moments ago and the carefully prepared persuasive speeches were swallowed back down.
This guy had even killed Liu Changfeng right here, looking utterly relaxed and at ease, his demeanor as if he had just squashed a little chick.
What the hell is there to persuade?!
Staring at each other dumbfounded for a few breaths, Liu Changfeng could no longer maintain his senior's airs. Remembering his earlier comment about "the younger generation being formidable," he now felt utterly embarrassed, his toes practically digging out a little villa with a garden...
For heaven's sake...
After all that talk, it turns out the 'junior' was actually me!
This is really quite shameful.
It was hard to believe that an outsider cultivator actually possessed cultivation at the Desolate Realm. Truly, there is always a higher sky and a man beyond a man. Tens of thousands of years of composure were shattered to pieces at this moment.
Noticing his niece Lin Ruowei's shocked expression from the corner of his eye, Lin Xiao hurriedly steadied his own demeanor.
The situation had indeed far exceeded expectations, but since they had come, they still had to contribute something. Otherwise, his old face would truly have nowhere left to hide.
After a moment of thoughtful silence, Lin Xiao nervously bowed and spoke.
"Yi... Yi, fellow Daoist."
"Your cultivation is supreme, I admire it immensely. However, the Fallen God Palace's power is terrifying. This matter is absolutely not that simple. Even if you can easily kill Liu Changfeng, or even his father within the inner sect, can you truly surpass the Star Lord?"
"Taking a step back, even if your cultivation defies the heavens and you can defeat the strongest Star Lord of our Lan Star, this matter will never truly end!"
His intention was persuasion, but as soon as he opened his mouth, both his attitude and tone carried a clear note of reverence. The lofty senior persona from before had completely vanished.
Hearing this, Yi Feng's heart grew fervent.
Beat the young one, and the old ones come. Even if you beat the strongest one, it seems it's still not over...
What an invincible hornet's nest.
If that's the case, my hope of finding death is quite high!
To confirm the truth of the information, Yi Feng first suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked over intently.
"Is what you're saying true?"
Lin Xiao nodded gravely, his face wearing a deeply cautious and apprehensive expression.
"Absolutely true!"
"The current Star Lord is not a cultivator from Lan Star, but hails from a Subsidiary Star. The Subsidiary Star controls several Mortal Stars, its overall strength immeasurable. They appoint someone to manage the overall situation of other Mortal Stars, hence this person is called the Star Lord."
"Even if your cultivation defies the heavens and you can surpass the Star Lord, against the Subsidiary Star, you would stand absolutely no chance. That is an existence completely beyond our vision and imagination!"
"If this matter continues to develop, there will be endless calamity. I implore you, Fellow Daoist Yi, to reconsider!"
Hearing this, Lin Ruowei's face had already lost all color.
Only today did she realize how vast this world was. The truth about these terrifying existences was far more frightening than the rumors spread among mortals. She never imagined that even with Elder Yi Feng's terrifying level of cultivation, he seemed unable to guarantee his own safety.
Too terrifying.
How should they deal with this immense calamity!
While the uncle and niece were extremely tense, Yi Feng's heart was already blooming with joy.
Good heavens...
This endlessly nested power structure really is never-ending. But as long as I keep fighting, there's absolutely a chance to succeed in seeking death!
Just thinking about the terrifying Star Lord and Subsidiary Star, Yi Feng felt an unprecedented surge of excitement.
Fight!
Must fight!
This Fallen God Palace, no matter what, we have to fight the damn thing!
Seeing Yi Feng fall silent, Lin Xiao thought he was frightened.
This put him slightly more at ease, and he continued to lean closer, whispering his persuasion.
"Fellow Daoist Yi..."
"I imagine you now understand that this calamity will be endless. You absolutely must not continue this confrontation. But you also don't need to be too tense. If you come back to the Profound Sect with me, we can use supreme secret techniques to conceal your aura. It might not be impossible to deceive heaven and cross the sea!"
"For now, temporarily avoiding the sharp edge is the best strategy!"
His words were spoken with great steadiness.
He clarified the severity of the situation while also offering a clever countermeasure to earn goodwill. Even though Lin Xiao's cultivation was slightly inferior, his experience and wisdom in handling affairs still lived up to his status as a Profound Sect senior.
However.
Listening to the words of the uncle and niece, Yi Feng had long been bursting with inner excitement.
Though his expression appeared as calm as ever, at this moment he wished he could just charge straight into the Fallen God Palace!
But this matter absolutely must not implicate others.
Feeling their concerned gazes, Yi Feng had no choice but to make up an excuse on the spot.
"Thank you for your good intentions."
"However, I have my reasons. If the forces behind them seek revenge, I will bear it alone. Since I've already acted, I must see it through to the end. I will absolutely not let this matter rest here!"
Hiss...
Lin Xiao was shocked!
Lin Ruowei's beautiful eyes also widened in disbelief!
The uncle and niece were astonished once again. They never expected that Elder Yi Feng would be so resolute. Faced with the terrifying truth of the Fallen God Palace's background, he wouldn't retreat even a single step!
This... what formidable fighting spirit is this!
A true man dares to act and dares to take responsibility.
Among the countless cultivators in the world, how many can be unafraid of life and death?
At this moment.
Uncle Lin Xiao and his niece completely abandoned their intention to persuade him. Their myriad feelings were all subdued by such bearing. Facing such a person, they simply didn't know how to persuade him.
After a long silence.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his eyes moved.
"Ah..."
"Fellow Daoist Yi's mental fortitude is truly rare through the ages. In tens of thousands of years, you are the only one unafraid of the name Fallen God Palace. I admire you immensely."
"If it were in the past, I too could have joined you in one moment of madness, disregarding whatever power or background, seeking only a satisfying battle! But now..."
His words, full of unspoken meaning, trailed off halfway, seeming to carry infinite emotion.
Yi Feng didn't know what he wanted to say, but he could understand this sentiment. After all, he was alone with no attachments and no concerns, so he could act without hesitation. Now that he wasn't even afraid of death, he was naturally even more carefree.
But this handsome uncle was different.
Having been in the Divine Land for so many years, he surely had many entanglements. It was simply impossible for him to act with true freedom. This was the helplessness of reality.
Even so, the fact that this handsome uncle possessed such a carefree fighting spirit and dared to speak those bold words about confronting the Fallen God Palace was enough to show he was no ordinary person!
To put it bluntly, even if it was just boasting, few would dare to boast about something like that.
Unconsciously, Yi Feng began to view this uncle in a new light.
With a smile, he cupped his hands in salute, thus moving past the topic.
"It's rare that we share similar sentiments and both dislike that damned Fallen God Palace. Meeting Miss Ruowei and receiving your advice today is truly a great pleasure in life."
"As the saying goes, an unplanned meeting is better than a planned invitation. Why don't we go for a hearty drink first!"
Seeing Yi Feng speak so magnanimously, the admiration in their eyes grew even stronger.
Facing a life-and-death calamity, yet still able to maintain such a carefree attitude. His unrestrained nature needed no further explanation; his extraordinary grace left others far behind.
Exchanging a quiet glance, both uncle and niece looked at him with admiration, repeatedly bowing and agreeing.
Yi Feng also collected the hostage's corpse and immediately led the way to leave.
Not long after.
The three of them returned to the prosperous little city familiar to Yi Feng. Once again, it was a private booth by the window on the second floor, and once again, the terrifyingly painful prices on the menu.
Sadly, the setting remained but the people had changed. New friends were present, but old ones were gone.
Yi Feng ordered a few small dishes and asked for a jar of the tavern's fine wine. He felt something was missing in the flavor and couldn't help but recall the exhilaration of drinking heartily a few days before.
If only Brother Gui were here, how wonderful that would be.
Just as this thought arose in his heart, a familiar, carefree laugh sounded from behind him.
"Haha, Brother Yi Feng, you are truly not being considerate. To have fine wine and delicacies and wish to enjoy them alone, without even sharing a cup with a friend like me?"
Turning at the sound, the newcomer was none other than Gui Wanhai!
