The Death Demon Ancestor was furious,
"You forced us."
The four retreated simultaneously, forming a matrix again, spinning in circles and chanting loudly.
As one could guess, this was their ultimate life-saving technique. Would they succeed?
Of course not!
Liu Zhengqing and the others directly attacked with their swords, but their attacks were ineffective.
These four individuals seemed to possess an invulnerable state.
"I'll do it!"
Lin Feng once again produced a talisman.
This was a talisman he had created himself, unique and unparalleled: the Silence Talisman.
His inspiration for this talisman came from a certain game. It could silence any state, a concept Lin Feng found very interesting.
He had spent a long time testing it, drawing heavily on the Time Freeze Talisman and the Immobilization Talisman.
Ultimately, he discovered a layer between time and space. Talismans drawn through this layer were considered 'silence' talismans.
They could instantly halt an opponent's actions without affecting the flow of time.
However, this talisman was difficult to create, and he hadn't drawn many.
After all, an Immobilization Talisman was usually sufficient in combat. While the Silence Talisman's duration was half that of the Immobilization Talisman, it took more than twice the time to draw.
It could be considered a rather niche item; if he hadn't been so fond of it, he wouldn't have drawn more than a few.
"Brother Lin, the Immobilization Talisman was ineffective."
Liu Zhengqing almost said that these four people were currently in an invulnerable state, untouchable by anyone.
"Who said this is an Immobilization Talisman?"
As he spoke, Lin Feng flung the talisman.
"Useless boy," the black-robed man laughed heartily,
"In this state, we are impervious to blades and fire, unaffected by talismans. The only thing that could affect us is a Time Freeze Talisman, but using it would also freeze your own time. Stop struggling, it's useless."
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow and offered no explanation.
The talisman touched the Death Demon Ancestor, and the silence began to spread.
A one-second pause, which halted the entire incantation and rendered the formation useless.
The Death Demon Ancestor suffered an unprecedented backlash. The fourth member, with the lowest cultivation, died on the spot.
"Fourth brother..."
Liu Zhengqing, though unaware of what had transpired, knew to strike while the iron was hot.
Liu Zhengqing's strike was swift and decisive. The infamous Death Demon Ancestor met his end in this unknown mountain forest.
"Now no one can stop me from going to your place, right?"
Having survived, Lin Feng felt in the mood to joke.
"No one is stopping you now!"
Liu Zhengqing was even happier. At first, he thought he would die here.
But now, not only was he alive, but he had also helped his friend defeat the renowned Death Demon Ancestor. It was truly exhilarating!
Lin Feng and his companions walked home happily, chatting and laughing along the way.
Little did they know that the Liu family on the other side was in an uproar.
"Master, have Qing'er and the others not returned yet?"
A beautiful woman in a purple robe clutched the Liu family head's hand, her face filled with anxiety and fervent hope.
"No."
Looking into the beautiful woman's eyes, the Liu family head found it unbearable to speak the truth.
But he was not only the family head; he was also a husband and a father.
He could not, and would not, conceal it.
The Liu family head felt a profound bitterness. Qing'er, his heir, was exceptional in talent, character, cultivation, and demeanor.
Not only he himself, but the elders of the family also doted on Qing'er.
In essence, there was no one in the Liu family who did not recognize Qing'er's status as the young family head.
As for Jiao Jiao?
She was his beloved daughter, a treasure he cherished dearly.
Her talent surpassed even Qing'er's, making her the foremost talent in the Liu family.
Despite being so much younger than Liu Zhengqing, her cultivation was comparable.
Indeed, Liu Yu Jiao was a treasure the family was reluctant to offer in marriage, wishing only to keep her within the Liu family.
But these two children, hadn't they just gone out to play?
How could they be missing for so many days with no news?
The Liu family head had already inquired about the places Qing'er and the others intended to visit, but they were told that the two had never been seen there.
The search parties sent out by the family, one after another, found no trace of them within a hundred-mile radius.
Could it be that their excellence had attracted the attention of rival families?
This was not an impossibility. In this world, the assassination of an heir was a common occurrence.
This was also why the cultivation families here had not given up on the main world; the chances of survival were much greater there.
The Liu family head felt the white hairs at his temples becoming increasingly noticeable. If Qing'er and the others were truly gone, how could he continue to live?
"Search, all of you, search everywhere. Whoever finds them will be rewarded handsomely, and those who fail need not return."
The Liu family head was frantic, and the Liu family elders were no different. Liu Zhengqing and the two carried so many treasures, all given by their elders.
For them to lose track of these treasures was something the Liu family could not accept.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng and the other two were happily touring the mountains and rivers.
Having experienced life and death in a secret realm, the three now only wished to enjoy the current peaceful and comfortable life.
"Brother, your fish is burnt again. Why can't you learn? Look at theirs."
Liu Yu Jiao's mouth watered as she looked at Lin Feng's golden, oily roasted fish, her salivary glands working overtime.
"Here you go."
Liu Yu Jiao's greedy expression amused Lin Feng. Coupled with her younger age, she was even more endearing.
"Thank you, Brother Lin Feng!"
Liu Yu Jiao's voice instantly became eight degrees sweeter, yet remained crisp.
"Munch..."
Liu Yu Jiao bit into the belly of the fish. Like a little calico cat, she closed her eyes in happiness.
"Brother Liu, this is for you."
Lin Feng truly couldn't bear to watch Liu Zhengqing's roasted fish any longer. Not only was it burnt, but it was also charred!
Could you believe it was emitting black smoke?
"No need..."
Liu Zhengqing hadn't even finished speaking when the roasted fish caught fire!
Liu Zhengqing's mouth twitched. This was truly embarrassing!
Lin Feng was almost laughing uncontrollably. He had seen many people burn food, but Liu Zhengqing was the only one he had encountered who managed to set fire to the food itself.
Thinking about his own stomach, Liu Zhengqing finally relented.
"Munch!"
Lin Feng's roasted fish was, it must be said, skillfully prepared.
After eating their fill, Lin Feng felt very satisfied.
"My dear brother! Where shall we go next?"
"To my home!"
"How far is your home from here? How much longer do we have to walk?"
Lin Feng swore that he had only asked casually, with no other intention.
Liu Zhengqing paused, then took out a flying boat from his storage bag.
"You have a flying boat?"
Lin Feng stared at Liu Zhengqing, dumbfounded, his voice filled with question marks.
"Yes."
Liu Zhengqing nodded affirmatively.
"Then you led us here, walking for a day?"
Lin Feng's voice instantly rose eight octaves. You have transportation, and you walked?
Did he think they weren't tired enough?
"Well, I accidentally forgot."
Liu Zhengqing wore a sheepish smile. He genuinely hadn't meant to.
He was having so much fun that he hadn't thought about going home.
"Brother, you're really something,"
Liu Yu Jiao pouted,
"My feet hurt from walking."
"And you have the nerve to say that,"
Liu Zhengqing's confidence returned instantly.
"Didn't you also forget about the flying boat? How can you blame me? Even though your feet hurt, you didn't remember!"
Liu Yu Jiao was displeased.
"Just you wait, when we get home, I'll tell Father that you bullied a child!"
Liu Zhengqing gulped. He suspected he would indeed be disciplined for something like this.
"Little sister, I was wrong!"
Liu Zhengqing said earnestly.
"No sincerity."
Liu Zhengqing wore a bitter expression. It seemed he would have to spend a lot of money this time.
Lin Feng found the siblings amusing to watch. He had to admit, they were very interesting, and their upbringing was excellent.
