Quack quack quack…
As Elder Qi departed, it was as if a flock of crows had flown across the sky.
Everyone stared at the scene unfolding before them, dumbfounded.
They truly couldn't believe it!
A full ten seconds passed before any sounds emerged from the crowd.
“What’s going on? Did I just see that correctly?”
“Am I hallucinating?”
“My heavens, this is actually real! Our Elder Qi personally escorted that brat away!”
“How is this possible? What did that brat do to achieve this?”
“I must be dreaming…”
No one could comprehend the reason behind it, as it was simply unimaginable for such an event to occur.
Ling Feng paid no mind to the thoughts of the crowd behind him. He merely wanted Elder Qi to adapt to being his slave.
Of course, Ling Feng didn't care about Elder Qi's reputation. He would let the elder explain it to the disciples himself later.
“Master, we have arrived…”
Elder Qi’s flying sword hovered in mid-air. He turned to look at Ling Feng, his face still a bit pale.
This was because Elder Qi could sense some presences nearby.
These were presences that Elder Qi was familiar with.
This person should be Zhang Zhicong.
This somewhat embarrassed Elder Qi.
However, upon thinking that Zhang Zhicong and the others would soon be taking his orders, Elder Qi’s mood improved considerably.
“Good, you can return. I will find you if I need anything! You can pretend that nothing happened today, and also, do not let this matter be discussed within the sect!”
Ling Feng nodded faintly.
Immediately after, Ling Feng’s figure vanished.
Elder Qi’s heart trembled as he felt the spatial fluctuations around him, filling him with even greater awe.
Ling Feng’s mastery of teleportation was truly superb. Even with Elder Qi’s cultivation, he couldn’t detect the slightest trace.
With such mastery of teleportation, it wouldn’t be a difficult task for Ling Feng to kill Elder Qi without anyone noticing.
In fact, it would be a rather simple matter.
Elder Qi instinctively wanted to bow, but then worried that his posture might be seen by someone. In the end, he simply flashed away.
The most crucial matter now was to explain things clearly to the disciples in the back mountain, preventing them from gossiping within the inner sect.
As for how Elder Qi explained it, Ling Feng had no interest.
However, as soon as Ling Feng returned to his residence, Zhang Zhicong’s figure appeared before him.
Sect Master Hong followed closely behind.
Both of them immediately knelt and bowed to Ling Feng.
“Greetings, Master!”
Ling Feng looked back at the two of them. “Why have you both come?”
“This…”
Sect Master Hong opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.
Or rather, there were some things he dared not say.
Did Sect Master Hong want to tell Ling Feng that he was extremely worried Ling Feng might be dealt with by Elder Qi, or that the matter might escalate and cause a stir throughout the Myriad Sword Sect, thus he had teamed up with Zhang Zhicong to closely monitor the surrounding situation?
Wouldn’t that imply they didn’t trust Ling Feng much?
Zhang Zhicong, however, was much wiser at this moment. He quickly said in a deep voice, “Master, we were worried that Elder Qi might harm you, so…”
“So, you two don’t believe in my strength?”
Ling Feng asked indifferently.
Zhang Zhicong’s words were interrupted. Upon hearing this, he couldn’t help but tremble all over, and then quickly shut his mouth.
Sect Master Hong beside him was terrified and repeatedly shook his head.
It was a joke. They did have some doubts, but how could they dare to speak them aloud?
Moreover, they had personally witnessed Elder Qi escorting Ling Feng back.
This indicated that Elder Qi had already been subdued by Ling Feng.
Under such circumstances, what else could they doubt?
In fact, the two of them wanted to come and congratulate Ling Feng, but the words got stuck in their throats, and they forgot how to say them.
Ling Feng was naturally aware of their thoughts.
Ling Feng had initially felt that the identities and statuses of these two within the Myriad Sword Sect were not high enough, so he hadn’t held great expectations for them from the start. He wouldn’t heavily rely on them in the future either, merely keeping them around to prevent any troublesome matters.
Therefore, Ling Feng had no mood to continue scaring the two of them.
“Rest assured, Elder Qi is now like you. However, in the future, I will have Elder Qi handle things. You are to obey his commands. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can go and find Handsome Man!”
“Yes!”
The two of them quickly bowed to Ling Feng in response.
With a wave of Ling Feng’s hand, the two quickly flashed away.
Later, when the two of them met up again, with no one else around, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s truly terrifying. That aura the Master possessed just now, it was truly…”
Sect Master Hong’s body was still trembling.
Zhang Zhicong also gave a self-deprecating smile, then repeatedly shook his head in amazement. “I truly can’t believe it. He did it without shedding blood, and without causing any disturbance. Elder Qi’s cultivation is already at the Nascent Soul stage, yet facing the Master, he probably had no power to resist!”
Sect Master Hong also nodded repeatedly.
“Yes, the Master’s cultivation is truly unfathomable. The other Grand Elders have cultivation levels similar to Elder Qi, right?”
Hearing Sect Master Hong’s question, Zhang Zhicong was immediately jolted awake.
“Right, right. Elder Qi is not considered weak among the elders. If the Master could easily deal with Elder Qi, then others should also be easily dealt with. It’s just that I wonder if our Myriad Sword Sect’s Ancestor is still alive. Perhaps only then would it pose some threat to the Master!”
Sect Master Hong shook his head with a wry smile. “There won’t be any threat. I feel that the Myriad Sword Sect will sooner or later fall into the Master’s hands! Don’t forget what the Master said before!”
“You mean… the entire Kunlun Immortal Mountain…”
Gulp!
After saying this, Zhang Zhicong couldn’t help but swallow hard!
He naturally remembered what Lin Shuainian had said before.
It was what Lin Shuainian had said during their first meeting.
Ling Feng’s goal was not the Myriad Sword Sect from the beginning. The Myriad Sword Sect was merely a starting point. Ling Feng wanted the entire Kunlun Immortal Mountain.
Moreover, Zhang Zhicong later learned of Ling Feng’s identity through information obtained from Sect Master Hong.
He was the Heavenly War God Ling of the mortal world!
Zhang Zhicong never imagined that this Heavenly War God Ling could be so powerful.
If this continued, Ling Feng would truly become invincible in the human world!
“Do you think the Master might become the first person to successfully ascend?”
Zhang Zhicong couldn’t help but have such a thought.
Sect Master Hong’s eyes widened even further.
“This… I can’t say for sure. Many exceptionally talented individuals have appeared before…”
Before Sect Master Hong could finish his rambling, Zhang Zhicong waved his hand and said.
“Those people you mentioned were all born in our Kunlun Immortal Mountain and cultivated here from the start. But look at the Master. He began cultivating in the mortal world outside. Even in a place with such barren spiritual energy, he could raise his cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage or above. Then, upon arriving in the Kunlun Immortal Mountain… the Master’s cultivation talent is absolutely terrifying!”
Sect Master Hong also understood the logic and nodded repeatedly.
“Yes, yes, you’re right. In that case, the Master truly has the potential to become the first person to successfully ascend in our Kunlun Immortal Mountain in thousands of years!”
