Liu Jin and the others clearly hadn't noticed Ling Feng and Lin Shuai Nan's arrival.
However, three people sitting cross-legged a hundred meters away directly opposite them simultaneously opened their eyes.
At the same time, several streaks of escaping light descended rapidly from the sky towards this location.
Ling Feng recognized the person in the lead.
A middle-aged man who looked to be around forty, with a distinguished demeanor and wearing luxurious attire. Two flying swords hovered around him, giving him a very imposing aura.
This man was Zuo Tongxin, the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect!
Zuo Tongxin had a square face, giving him an air of natural authority.
However, he was currently frowning, staring intently at Ling Feng and the other. His eyes were filled with confusion.
"Who are you people?"
Zuo Tongxin demanded.
But the one who answered his question was not Ling Feng or Lin Shuai Nan, but the elder who had mysteriously appeared behind him.
The elder had white hair and beard, and was less than 1.7 meters tall. He looked very peculiar. Although his feet hadn't moved an inch, his figure kept flickering to different positions.
His mastery was evident.
Needless to say, this man was the foremost expert of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, and its current Ancestor.
Yang Fengchen!
"If I'm not mistaken, you two received all the spiritual herbs and materials stolen from the sect by those traitors, right?"
Yang Fengchen spoke as he landed in front of Zuo Tongxin.
At this moment, it felt as if Yang Fengchen was deliberately trying to overshadow Zuo Tongxin!
However, with a formidable enemy present, Zuo Tongxin had no intention of arguing with Yang Fengchen.
Ling Feng could see the situation within the entire Ten Thousand Sword Sect with just a glance.
The Sect Master and the Ancestor were not in agreement!
This seemed to be a natural occurrence.
The Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect was the foremost figure, the top expert, and the most powerful cultivator at the Tribulation Stage.
Such a person naturally held the most prestige in the sect. If there was any discord within the sect, it could only mean that Sect Master Zuo Tongxin had not properly understood his own position.
"Your guess is rather crude,"
Ling Feng replied calmly, taking steps forward!
Ling Feng was not lacking in combat experience now. Although the full power of the several techniques he had cultivated had not been truly tested, Ling Feng knew very well that ordinary Tribulation Stage cultivators would find it difficult to withstand them.
At least, cultivators below the mid-Tribulation Stage would not find it easy to face him without being defeated!
Yang Fengchen's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Youngster, you are quite arrogant! You stole so many spiritual herbs from our Ten Thousand Sword Sect, what do you intend to do?"
Yang Fengchen also advanced towards Ling Feng, and the oppressive auras from both of them began to contend for dominance.
However, Yang Fengchen soon sensed something was amiss.
Ling Feng's oppressive aura was not very sharp, as if it lacked much offensive power. It merely blocked his own oppressive aura from advancing.
What did this mean?
Was this brat looking down on me?
Ling Feng was too young. Yang Fengchen did not believe that Ling Feng's cultivation could be higher than his own!
The reason he hadn't attacked Ling Feng directly was because Yang Fengchen was worried that Ling Feng had someone backing him.
However, Ling Feng's blatant disregard had somewhat ignited Yang Fengchen's temper!
"After today, the Ten Thousand Sword Sect will obey my command. Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"
Ling Feng did not give Yang Fengchen a chance to erupt in anger, asking calmly.
Yang Fengchen was stunned by these words!
But at the same time, Ling Feng's oppressive aura instantly erupted, pressing down entirely on Yang Fengchen in a single moment.
Yang Fengchen felt a suffocating sensation, and the words he wanted to say were immediately choked back.
Simultaneously, he unleashed his own oppressive aura to its limit.
It seemed as if sparks were flying between them.
However, at this moment, Zuo Tongxin and the others behind them had not yet noticed the tension between the two.
Zuo Tongxin had clearly heard Ling Feng's words, and his expression turned extremely grim.
"Who exactly are you? By what right do you demand our Ten Thousand Sword Sect obey your command?"
"By what right? I believe it is by strength!"
Ling Feng replied indifferently, his gaze shifting to Zuo Tongxin. At this moment, he seemed to have completely ignored Yang Fengchen.
Yang Fengchen's eyes widened further, filled with extreme anger. This brat was completely disregarding him.
However, at the same time, Yang Fengchen's mind became much clearer.
Ling Feng's audacity must have a reason, and that reason was that Ling Feng's cultivation was truly extraordinary.
"Could this brat's cultivation be higher than mine? Otherwise, why would he be so domineering and confident?"
As this thought emerged, Yang Fengchen's state of mind instantly crumbled, and he felt utterly terrible.
Meanwhile, Zuo Tongxin couldn't help but step forward quickly.
"So, you intend to seize power by force?"
Ling Feng frowned slightly, "You speak as if I am a bandit, and you are righteous while I am evil? I'm sorry, the Ten Thousand Sword Sect is merely a part of my plan. I can make the Ten Thousand Sword Sect better. Under your control, the Ten Thousand Sword Sect is insignificant, and the disciples below are living lives worse than death. I am doing this to give them a chance to be reborn. As for you, if you wish to die, I shall escort you!"
Ling Feng's resolve was firm.
The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, was the unchanging principle of this world. Conversely, people like Zuo Tongxin, who claimed to uphold the entire sect, knew what they were truly thinking.
These individuals were after power and were unwilling to hand it over.
But how could they know that Ling Feng had no regard for the power of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect?
To put it bluntly.
Ling Feng now looked down upon the power of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
His current acquisition of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect was merely for convenience!
That's right, the Ten Thousand Sword Sect had coincidentally become Ling Feng's first foothold in this Kunlun Immortal Mountain world.
"Utter nonsense, spewing venom to confuse the masses! Ancestor, I implore you to strike and eliminate this child!"
Zuo Tongxin's steps suddenly halted. He had initially wanted to attack, but after approaching, he had sensed the clash of auras between Yang Fengchen and Ling Feng.
This filled Zuo Tongxin with dread, and he quickly changed his words!
Instantly, all eyes fell upon Yang Fengchen.
Yang Fengchen was naturally under immense pressure, but he maintained a calm and composed facade, even letting out a cold snort at Zuo Tongxin.
"Hmph, just a junior, and you need me to personally act? Zuo Tongxin, have you reached the end of your tenure as Sect Master?"
These words were undeniably impolite.
Zuo Tongxin's expression changed drastically. He turned to look at the experts behind him, and indeed, all eyes were on him, filled with deep doubt!
Zuo Tongxin was inwardly furious. He glared at Yang Fengchen, then turned his attention back to Ling Feng.
"Brat, are you truly unrepentant..."
"Hey, are you the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect? Why so much nonsense? If you can fight, stop blabbering!"
Suddenly, Lin Shuai Nan's voice cut in.
Lin Shuai Nan had quickly freed Liu Jin and the others. Although weak, they could still hold on, especially with Lin Shuai Nan's healing pills.
In a short while, these individuals became energetic again, standing behind Lin Shuai Nan as if they were the Four Great Protectors.
Of course, facing such a situation, only Liu Jin and Elder Qi possessed some aura.
If Zhang Zhicong and Sect Leader Hong were to act in such a scene, they would likely be severely injured or killed!
