Xueyue Imperial City

Duan Tianlang's head lowered once again, striking the platform of life and death.

The soldiers all looked anxious, yet they were helpless against their general's deep sense of loyalty. The general was so full of loyalty and righteousness that he would charge into battle even for an ordinary soldier, let alone in a situation where the sect had been destroyed.

Divine Arrow, Liu Canglan, never kneeled to heaven or earth, and even in the presence of the Snow Moon King, he stood tall and straight, without the slightest bend. But now, Liu Canglan had knelt twice.

"The sect gave me everything, and now, because of me, the sect is gone. How can I face myself, with all my cultivation?" Liu Canglan's voice trembled with emotion, causing the crowd to shudder, shouting in unison, "General."

A raging aura erupted, causing Liu Canglan's silver hair to dance. The soldiers' eyes were bloodshot, fixed on Liu Canglan. In that moment, the space seemed to fall into complete silence.

"Coward."

A cold voice suddenly broke the silence, sounding particularly harsh in the quiet space, clearly audible to everyone. The crowd's gaze froze at the words.

Coward? If Divine Arrow, Liu Canglan, was a coward, then who in this world could claim bravery?

"Since the sect has been destroyed because of you, you are the eternal sinner of the sect. Why not just end it all? You wouldn't have to bear the burden of your weak life anymore."

Under the crowd's furious gaze, Lin Feng spoke again, urging Liu Canglan... to die!

In that instant, a myriad of furious auras descended upon Lin Feng, making him feel as though he was in a sea of corpses and blood, driving him mad. This aura was too intense, only a truly blood-stained army would possess such an aura.

Lin Feng was almost suffocated under the pressure, but he remained calm and stood there, watching Liu Canglan on the platform of life and death.

"If you die, Duan Tianlang's goal will be achieved, and no one else will be implicated. Moreover, you won't have to fear or escape anymore; it will be an end to everything."

After Lin Feng's words, the crowd's anger deepened, but Liu Canglan turned his gaze away, lifted his head, and looked at Lin Feng on the edge of the gorge.

"If you die, your daughter, Liu Feifei, can also marry into the Duan family and enjoy glory. You won't have to worry about her anymore."

Lin Feng's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Liu Canglan's heart. How could his daughter, Liu Feifei, marry into the Duan family!

"If you die, perhaps the many deceased of the Cloud Sea Sect can finally rest, because they know they died in vain, without any hope."

Each sharp word was so shocking that Liu Canglan closed his eyes, and finally, his hand slowly lowered.

Yes, if he were to give in to despair, wouldn't he be fulfilling Duan Tianlang's wishes? What about Feifei? Who would avenge the destruction of the Cloud Sea Sect?

Seeing Liu Canglan lower his hand, the soldiers no longer looked at Lin Feng with anger, but with gratitude. They understood that Lin Feng deliberately used irony to stimulate Liu Canglan, which led Liu Canglan to abandon the idea of ​​abandoning his cultivation.

It was fortunate to have Lin Feng; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, Lin Feng's words were indeed powerful, like a sharp sword that could hit the vital points every time.

"Turn to your general and say to the Cloud Sea Sect that it is not the general's fault. Bei Lao always thought of him before his death, and the old lady forgave him too."

Lin Feng did not look at Liu Canglan again, but walked to the side of a soldier and said softly, then left with Meng Qing.

After Lin Feng left for a long time, Liu Canglan opened his eyes, his gaze sharp, making everyone happy. Their general had returned.

"Spread my order, turn this gorge into a tomb and bury the bodies of the Cloud Sea Sect here."

Liu Canglan's voice was calm as he began to give orders.

"In addition, from today onwards, the Cloud Sea Sect will be closed. Without my orders, no one is allowed to enter. Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy."

A murderous aura filled the space, but the soldiers showed joy and shouted, "We obey the general's orders."

Liu Canglan's expression remained unchanged. With a step, he leaped directly onto the gorge, gazing into the distance, as if searching for Lin Feng's figure.

"General."

At this moment, a soldier stepped forward and came to Liu Canglan.

"What is it?" Liu Canglan asked.

"General, before that person left, he asked me to tell you that the Cloud Sea Sect does not blame you. Bei Lao always thought of you before his death, and the old lady forgave you too."

Liu Canglan trembled all over, standing there in a daze.

Looking up at the sky, this extremely tough man, his determined eyes seemed to flicker with tears.

"Disciple is unfilial."

Liu Canglan sighed, his eyes regaining their sharpness as he looked towards the distant road. With a step, he turned into a shadow.

"Lin Feng!"

Liu Canglan had never seen Lin Feng, but he had heard the name from Meng Fei. At that time, he wondered what kind of young man could make the entire Cloud Sea Sect risk their lives to save him.

And now, Liu Canglan somewhat understood. They had only met briefly, but this child was definitely not ordinary.

If Lin Feng was ordinary, how could he say such sharp words?

If Lin Feng was ordinary, how could a sixteen-year-old youth remain calm and unchanged in expression when faced with the murderous intent of the Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry?

If Lin Feng was ordinary, he wouldn't have left with just a few words, even though Duan Tianlang and the others were after his life. It was only by staying by his side that he would be safest.

Lin Feng wasn't there. Even though Bei Lao had asked him to find Liu Canglan, Lin Feng had still chosen to leave. He grew up under the protection of others. When would he have the power to change the world?

Lin Feng knew that although the Snow Moon Royal Family was the strongest in the Snow Moon Kingdom, they were nothing compared to the entire Nine Heavens Continent. Even the title of Emperor of the Snow Moon Kingdom was somewhat lacking in substance.

A true martial emperor would have the power to overturn rivers and seas, to change the world. This kind of person, with a single outburst, could leave a million corpses in their wake, easily destroying a kingdom like the Snow Moon.

Lin Feng still had a long way to go.

At this moment, Lin Feng and Meng Qing were standing on a giant rock, watching Liu Canglan's figure speed down the mountain along the main road.

"Let's go." Jumping off the rock, Lin Feng and Meng Qing walked on the path, deliberately avoiding Liu Canglan.

"Do you have a lot of questions you want to ask?" Lin Feng looked at Meng Qing and asked softly.

"If you don't say, I won't ask," Meng Qing replied in her usual indifferent tone, as if her emotions never fluctuated. Lin Feng wondered how charming her occasional smile would be.

"My mother said, when a man is sad, silence is the best way!" As if remembering something, Meng Qing added, looking at Lin Feng through her veil, as if seeking confirmation that her mother's words were correct.

"Is all your knowledge of the outside world from your mother?" Lin Feng asked.

"Yes," Meng Qing nodded.

"Has your mother told you anything else about men?" Lin Feng asked again, realizing that Meng Qing was as ignorant of the world outside as he had been when he first crossed over, except she had the memories of two lifetimes, while Meng Qing's memories perhaps only included Black Wind Ridge.

"My mother also said that men are not good things," Meng Qing replied.

Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a bit amused by this familiar-sounding remark. Perhaps Meng Qing's mother had secluded herself in the depths of Black Wind Ridge after being hurt by love?

"Those men's eyes looking at me are indeed not good, but you... seem different from what my mother said," Meng Qing said, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of confusion. She was full of curiosity about the outside world, otherwise she wouldn't have secretly followed Lin Feng out.

Lin Feng smiled. Being praised by a beauty was indeed a delightful thing.

"What else did your mother tell you?" Lin Feng asked.

"A lot, but I won't tell you," Meng Qing nodded, looking at Lin Feng as if she wanted to verify whether her mother's words were correct.

"..." Lin Feng was speechless at Meng Qing's answer.

In Snow Moon City, the imperial city of the Snow Moon Kingdom, vast and majestic, it housed tens of millions of people, yet it never seemed crowded.

The Snow Moon Imperial City had many main roads, each one hundred meters wide, able to accommodate a hundred people walking side by side.

However, in recent days, the streets of the imperial city were filled with people. Those riding on divine beasts were particularly low-key, even leading their mounts along the roads.

This was the imperial city, with countless powerful individuals. With just one glance, you could see many people riding on divine beasts, let alone riding horses.

In a few days, it would be the day when the Snow Moon Academy was established. It would recruit young talents from all over the Snow Moon Kingdom. Just recruiting talented individuals from the major sects would not satisfy the appetite of the Snow Moon Academy.

Such a grand event naturally attracted people from all over. From young children of six years old to those of eighteen, everyone hoped to become a member of the Snow Moon Academy, which might become the most powerful force in the Snow Moon Kingdom in the future.

At this moment, several figures walked on the main road, attracting attention. Among these people, there was a woman dressed in fiery red clothes, beautiful and with a dual aura of ice and fire.

"These people all want to become members of the Snow Moon Academy, but they don't know how difficult it is to enter the Snow Moon Academy. Unless they have talents like Qian Qian, who are directly valued by the Snow Moon Academy, but how many people can compare to Qian Qian?"

A young man whispered, flattering, which made Lin Qian, who was wearing fiery red clothes, smile faintly.

"I heard that Nalan Feng is also valued in the imperial city. I don't know if this is true or not," Lin Hong, who was beside Lin Qian, said, making Lin Qian's eyebrows raise. Last time, they hadn't determined a winner, had they?

Thinking of the grand competition in Yangzhou City, Lin Qian couldn't help but think of a figure, that arrogant and uninhibited person who had once been regarded as the waste of the Lin family, expelled from the sect.

On that day, that person had given everyone a big surprise, shocked the audience, and became famous in Yangzhou City.

Everyone in Yangzhou City knew the name Lin Feng. Moreover, he had left Yangzhou City with Nalan Feng as a hostage, easily leaving the city in front of the powerhouses of several major families.

"Now that the Cloud Sea Sect has been destroyed, he should be dead by now," Lin Qian thought with a complex feeling in her heart.
