Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Domineering Luo Feng
Following the voice, a middle-aged man slowly emerged from the Teleportation Array. He looked somewhat disheveled, a wine gourd in his hand, giving the impression that he was drunk.
But the man was exceedingly handsome, possessing an elegance that shone through his dishevelment. His profound gaze was utterly captivating.
Taking a large gulp of wine, the man stepped out of the Teleportation Array. The moment he did, the array vanished.
"Du Ying, it’s been a few years, and you’re still as shameless as ever." The man’s opening words stunned everyone, including Lin Yun.
’Who was Du Ying? The Valley Master of Celestial Eagle Valley, a supreme expert who had surpassed the Celestial Spirit Realm. In the entire Eastern Domain, how many people would dare to insult him like that?’
But the man before them was one of those few people. Du Ying’s expression darkened as he looked at him, but he didn’t attack immediately. Deep down, he was extremely wary of this man.
"Luo Feng, this is my Celestial Eagle Valley. Don’t go too far," Du Ying said coldly.
The man’s name was Luo Feng, the current Palace Master of Flawless Palace. Hearing Du Ying’s words, Luo Feng gave a lazy smile. "Oh? This is Celestial Eagle Valley? I thought it was the backyard of my Flawless Palace."
"You..." With Luo Feng giving him no face whatsoever, Du Ying’s expression turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He forcibly suppressed his rage. It wasn’t that Du Ying was good-tempered; he hadn’t made a move simply because he was no match for Luo Feng.
"Enough with the nonsense. This kid has cultivated the Flawless Flesh Body, which makes him a member of my Flawless Palace," Luo Feng said directly after taking another drink of wine.
From the moment he appeared, Luo Feng displayed absolute dominance. He paid Du Ying no mind and settled the matter with just a few words.
"Luo Feng, do you really think my Celestial Eagle Valley can do nothing to you?" Luo Feng’s arrogance finally pushed Du Ying over the edge. While Du Ying was no match for Luo Feng one-on-one, one mustn’t forget that Celestial Eagle Valley had more than just him. Its Supreme Elders were all experts who had surpassed the Celestial Spirit Realm.
"Heh, you think you’re the only ones with backup? If Celestial Eagle Valley has the guts, then by all means, let’s have a war with my Flawless Palace," Luo Feng said nonchalantly.
In the Eastern Domain, Luo Feng was a renowned figure. As the Master of Flawless Palace, his strength was certainly not to be underestimated; he was definitely ranked among the top ten powerhouses in the Eastern Domain.
However, Luo Feng had an untamed and unconventional nature. He loved fine wine and beautiful women and often did outrageous things.
Yet, it was this very man who had managed to secure the position of Master of Flawless Palace. One could only wonder what the Supreme Elders of Flawless Palace had been thinking.
Luo Feng was utterly domineering, and the atmosphere instantly grew tense. Faint fluctuations of Elemental Power began to emanate from Du Ying’s body.
The faint pressure Du Ying released was more than Lin Yun could bear. Just then, Luo Feng, having moved at some unknown moment, appeared before Lin Yun and completely blocked Du Ying’s oppressive aura.
No one saw how Luo Feng had gotten in front of Lin Yun; among everyone present, only Du Ying might have caught a glimpse of his movement.
Glancing at Tang Chenming, Luo Feng said with contempt, "Such an old man, yet so shameless. You dare try to snatch someone from my Flawless Palace."
As he spoke, Luo Feng made no obvious move, yet a mere wave of his palm sent Tang Chenming flying backward.
"Luo Feng, have you lost your mind? How dare you injure someone in my Celestial Eagle Valley?" Du Ying could no longer hold back. He shot to his feet, looking ready to strike at any moment.
Du Ying was on the brink of erupting. At that very moment, however, a figure materialized beside him as if out of thin air.
The newcomer was an old man, far more ancient in appearance than Du Ying. His back was bent, he was dressed in coarse linen, and he emitted no aura whatsoever.
"To what do we owe the pleasure of a visit from the Master of Flawless Palace to my Celestial Eagle Valley?" the old man asked Luo Feng, his voice hoarse.
Hearing this, Luo Feng’s expression remained unchanged, not in the least bit worried for his safety. He chuckled lightly and replied, "I’ve come to retrieve a Disciple of my Flawless Palace."
At these words, the old man glanced at Lin Yun, his face devoid of expression. "Since you have him, Palace Master Luo, you may leave."
The old man’s appearance reduced even Du Ying to a secondary figure, which made it clear that he was undoubtedly a Supreme Elder of Celestial Eagle Valley.
The Supreme Elders of the Six Great Forces were few in number—no more than five per faction—but every single one was an ancient, nigh-immortal existence in the Eastern Domain, each possessing immense power.
Moreover, these individuals were the pillars of the Six Great Forces. It was because of these ancient beings that the Six Great Forces had remained secure for so long.
"In that case, we’ll be taking our leave." Facing two supreme experts, Luo Feng was no fool. He readily took the offered way out.
However, just as Luo Feng finished speaking, Lin Yun—who had no place in this conversation—suddenly spoke up. "I can’t leave."
At his words, everyone present turned to look at the boy who was merely at the Qi Sea Realm Eighth Layer. The weakest person here had a cultivation at the Ninth Layer of Primordial Ocean Realm. He had a chance to leave safely, and yet, to everyone’s surprise, Lin Yun didn’t want to go?
Ignoring the odd stares from everyone else, Lin Yun simply looked at Luo Feng. Compared to Celestial Eagle Valley, he much preferred to have the support of Flawless Palace.
"My parents are imprisoned by the Yanhuang Royal Family, and I must rescue them. If you can’t help me save them, I will not go to Flawless Palace with you," Lin Yun stated resolutely.
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng truly looked at Lin Yun for the first time. This boy, only at the Qi Sea Realm Eighth Layer, was the first person to ever dare speak to him in such a manner. In his heart, Luo Feng found Lin Yun quite interesting.
"Are you threatening me?" Luo Feng asked with a soft chuckle.
"No. If my parents aren’t rescued, I would rather stay in Celestial Eagle Valley. At least that way, I can ensure they remain alive," Lin Yun replied without hesitation.
"Haha..." Luo Feng burst into loud laughter. After a moment, he spoke to Lin Yun.
"Take me as your master. Right now."
Lin Yun had no idea what Luo Feng was up to. He was so taken aback by the sudden demand to become his disciple that he couldn’t react.
"What? You don’t want to save your parents anymore?" Luo Feng asked.
Hearing this, Lin Yun didn’t know what kind of game Luo Feng was playing. ’Still,’ he thought, ’I have no issues with Luo Feng or Flawless Palace. Besides, his strength is undeniable. I wouldn’t be losing out by taking him as my master.’
"Master," Lin Yun said after a moment’s thought.
With a slight smile, Luo Feng turned to Du Ying and the old man, a faint grin playing on his lips. "You two saw it yourselves. This is the disciple I just accepted. Now, his parents are being held by the Yanhuang Royal Family. There shouldn’t be any problem if I go and rescue them, right?"
"You..." Hearing Luo Feng’s words, Du Ying immediately started to object, but the old man beside him stopped him before he could get a word out.
