Chapter 1691: Chapter 910: Misunderstood
Without any delay, the group in the room rushed toward the Heaven Courtyard.
Lin Feng, realizing he had been exposed, used his movement technique to leave. He exited the private room on the second floor and headed directly toward the Heaven Courtyard.
The Void Technique is merely a refined step technique, not meant to be used everywhere.
For example, in this Biyao City, prohibitions were set for the safety of the city defense, aimed at preventing anyone from killing or breaking the law and fleeing. Thus, prohibitions were established by powerful figures to prevent the use of any teleportation spells within the city.
Therefore, Lin Feng’s Void Technique was also unusable. Even if used, it would only allow for flickering over a small area, making it impossible to move over a large distance. At this moment, the so-called large range refers to the distance from the inn’s loft to the Heaven Courtyard, so Lin Feng could only use his movement technique to quickly reach there.
Lin Feng needed to reach there ahead of Liu Qian and the others. At this moment, Qian Hua was already in a fierce battle with several black-clothed men. Countless palms were striking each other, and in the exchange of blows, neither party could gain the upper hand.
Lin Feng took a closer look and saw that three black-clothed men had already forced Qian Hua aside. Meanwhile, two black-clothed men were trying to break the prohibition on the door.
The room’s prohibition was broken by their power, and Lin Feng remembered Liu Qian previously saying that there were treasures inside, so these black-clothed men must be here to seize these treasures.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng used a Heavenly Void Technique and flashed before the two black-clothed men. At this time, the Void Skill did not involve spatial movement; it was merely used as a step technique. However, it was enough for Lin Feng to block the black-clothed men from entering the door.
"Who are you, and why are you here?"
Lin Feng asked indifferently, while the two black-clothed men glanced at each other and then attacked Lin Feng.
The two black-clothed men simultaneously struck a palm towards Lin Feng, who countered with both fists, hitting the chest of the black-clothed men.
The cultivation technique that the black-clothed men initially used contained Shadow Power. Lin Feng immediately recognized where these black-clothed men came from, and with a sharp gleam in his eyes, he said softly, "You are people from the Desolate Realm..."
The black-clothed men spat out blood and then fled towards the rooftop.
Over on Qian Hua’s side, three black-clothed men were still fighting fiercely. But when they saw two of their companions injured instantly, they knew a master had arrived, so they left with the two.
Lin Feng arrived in the room only to find that the incense table in the main hall was actually offering a Soul Device. Lin Feng approached for a closer look, clearly seeing the item within the prohibition placed in the brocade box was a Soul Device.
Powerful energy emanated around the Soul Device, but such energy was absorbed by the prohibition’s light screen, not spreading outward.
At this moment, the brocade box was half-open, clearly visible on the small red pillow inside was the "Heavenly Wood Bell."
The Heavenly Wood Bell is the treasure of Phoenix Cliff, a magical treasure protected by Phoenix Cliff through generations. This Soul Device, much like the Star Furnace in the past at the Star-Gazing Pavilion, is different in that it holds a shocking secret together with several other Soul Devices. That is why the Desolate Realm people kept trying to seize it repeatedly.
Just as Lin Feng was standing in the room, the Phoenix Cliff disciple and Yunzhou Princely Heir Liu Qian who were previously in the private room also arrived. They saw the room where the Heavenly Wood Bell was placed, already opened by someone, and immediately rushed inside.
Lin Feng didn’t have time to react before feeling a sharp sword light attacking him. Instinctively, Lin Feng deflected the opponent’s move and exchanged several blows with the person wielding the sword.
The sword user was a skilled woman, seemingly in her thirties. Despite her strong demeanor, she could still be considered a beauty.
The skilled woman was already defeated, knowing she wasn’t Lin Feng’s match.
Seeing the two exchanging blows, Liu Qian hurriedly said, "Daoist, please don’t fight, don’t fight. This Lin Gongzi is my friend, there must be some misunderstanding..."
Liu Qian appeared as a mediator, facing both sides without offending either. Currently, Yunzhou Lord and the Court divided the world, not wanting to strain relationships over a magical treasure.
From Lin Feng’s casual defeat of the skilled woman earlier, it wasn’t hard to see Lin Feng’s strength.
In the eyes of Yunzhou Princely Heir, talent was worth more than wealth or treasures; treasures could be bought again, but losing talent would be a great loss. Trust can’t be bought with any amount of money.
With Lin Feng’s recent performance, even gifting him a Soul Device was insignificant for Yunzhou Lord’s residence. After all, Soul Devices are external objects, only people can help conquer the world.
Seeing Liu Qian begin to persuade her, the skilled woman remained in a sword-wielding stance. Her peach blossom eyes gazed directly at Lin Feng, without any intention of backing down. Raising her voice, she said to Lin Feng, "You thief stealing my sect’s precious treasure, since you are here, today you will not leave!"
The women behind her gracefully drew their swords, assuming a fairy-like posture.
Lin Feng couldn’t fight the people of the Six Great Sects because it was a vast misunderstanding. But at this moment, the black-clothed men had already left, even if he tried to explain, it was unlikely that these straightforward women would let him go.
Since Phoenix Cliff consisted of female disciples, all dressed in graceful attire, Liu Qian didn’t know what to do, dressed in a nervous, awkward manner.
