Chapter 1762: Chapter 945: Whistling Arrival (Part 2)
They nodded repeatedly saying yes, Lin Feng instructed them to take the message back that there is a factory in Biyao City that produces poison, as well as the conspiracy mentioned by the Poison Master.
Although at this moment, we don’t know what their conspiracy is, it’s always better to be prepared.
Currently, Biyao City is within the territory of the Yunzhou marquis, so the Court targeting this place is understandable, after all, the Emperor is fake; for the sake of unifying the world, he is likely to do anything.
The conspiracy involving the Shadow Soul Grass cannot be taken lightly.
Lin Feng saved people and figured out the origin of the vengeful ghosts. Now Lin Feng just needs to eliminate the Poison Master and destroy all the Shadow Soul Grass planted here.
But given Lin Feng’s current strength, there’s no way he can succeed, he needs to come up with a solution.
After letting the people go, a young man said to Lin Feng, "Can you give me the antidote now?"
After seeing the people of Heaven Alliance leave, Lin Feng took out a small medicine bottle.
The young man immediately swallowed the antidote given by Lin Feng, then struck a palm directly towards Lin Feng.
Seeing Lin Feng about to get hit by the palm, suddenly a blood-coated sword rapidly spinning came whistling towards Lin Feng’s direction.
The sword struck the young man’s waist and abdomen in one blow, and he fell to the ground dead.
Lin Feng turned his head to see the newcomer, who had already appeared in front of Lin Feng and said, "Members of the cult cannot be trusted lightly."
The newcomer appeared very bold and gallant, full of youthful vigor.
Lin Feng recognized this person, he was Mu Yu, the Princess’s personal guardian.
"Why are you here?" Lin Feng asked, somewhat surprised.
Mu Yu pulled his sword out of the dead young man’s gut, then a gush of blood flowed out, dyeing the grass red.
Mu Yu was not moved at all; his expression remained decidedly calm.
It seems these guardians have hearts of stone, otherwise, they couldn’t protect their master effectively.
Mu Yu answered Lin Feng, "I’ve been following you all the way, I detected the anomalies here long ago. Previously when I saw the Heaven Alliance members rushing out, I immediately guessed the inside story."
Subsequently, ten masters of the Seven Spirit Knot Realm came charging out from the woods, all more formidable than those just in prison.
They each held a sharp knife, dressed in Heaven Alliance clothing.
These people rushed out wave after wave towards the direction of the cave. Mu Yu said to Lin Feng, "Please cooperate with us in taking down this den."
After Mu Yu finished speaking, he charged into the cave entrance, and every alliance member began bravely charging in, making the atmosphere intensely explosive; the fighting scene unfolded instantly.
The guards at the gate were no match for Mu Yu and their opponents, falling slain one by one.
Upon entering the cave, the people inside were still unaware of the outside situation; Mu Yu and the others went inside along with Lin Feng. Mu Yu and his subordinates were quite astonished by the scene inside the cave.
The subordinates were each shocked by the glowing plants, falling into awe.
Meanwhile, Mu Yu carefully inspected once, and then issued orders to the people behind him.
"No mistake, this is the Shadow Soul Grass we need to destroy." Subsequently, ten people began setting fire to these plants.
Lin Feng ventured deeper into the cave alone; he was going to eliminate the grey-haired man and retrieve his Treasure Sword.
Because Lin Feng didn’t know his Treasure Sword had fallen into their hands, he feared it might be used to harm the world.
Lin Feng rushed into the passage the grey-haired man previously entered; meanwhile, noticing noise outside, the people inside the cave immediately raised the alarm.
In no time, over a hundred soldiers charged outwards, but Lin Feng was wearing the same clothes as them, coupled with concealment, avoiding detection.
As Lin Feng watched these soldiers rush out of the cave, each possessing cultivation at the Seven Spirit Knot level, he felt a bit concerned as Mu Yu’s group had only eleven people against over a hundred.
Lin Feng could only hope that Mu Yu’s group had high combat power, as martial combat relies not only on cultivation. Cultivation is merely a scale of Realm; practical fights depend on the strength of martial techniques and fighting skills.
As long as these are strong, even ten people against a hundred is not a problem especially considering Mu Yu and his companions are the core of Heaven Alliance, so Lin Feng’s worry was indeed excessive.
Lin Feng entered alone; inside was a large cave with a plaza, where the grey-haired man was awakening from a chair on the plaza.
He muttered, "What is this!"
But no one answered him; realizing Lin Feng had killed all the guards, he instantly sensed something was wrong.
At this moment, Lin Feng held the Sky-cutting Sword, his bright eyes like stars.
Lin Feng stepped out of the shadows; the grey-haired man immediately recognized him, furious upon seeing Lin Feng.
"You really are persistent! I spared your life once in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, and now you’ve come to seek trouble." Speaking, the grey-haired man’s sharp eyes began to shine; reaching his hand to the side, a magnificent Treasure Sword magically appeared in his hand.
Seeing the Treasure Sword in his hand, Lin Feng was shocked inside.
"Damn it, isn’t this the Divine Sword from the Hundred Treasure Pavilion? How come it’s in your hand?" Lin Feng exclaimed, his previous demeanor dissipated abruptly.
Hua Shengmi chuckled, then reminded Lin Feng, "You’re a bit out of character, a hero isn’t supposed to act like this."
Seeing Hua Shengmi mocking him, Lin Feng immediately retorted, "Nice words, I don’t want to be this hero, you take over if you’re so skilled."
"That’s what you said, hand your mind over to me, I’ll help you fight this battle!" Hua Shengmi said earnestly to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng genuinely wanted to see Hua Shengmi’s methods, thus agreed. However, Lin Feng seemed a bit worried, quickly reminding Hua Shengmi, "You’d better handle me properly; if I get stabbed, I’m coming for you."
Lin Feng then handed his mind over to Hua Shengmi, at this moment Hua Shengmi, synchronized with Lin Feng’s consciousness, both got to control Lin Feng’s body.
Lin Feng stopped controlling himself, giving full authority to Hua Shengmi.
Hua Shengmi resurrected from Lin Feng’s body, initially pinching the hand, technically Lin Feng’s hand, Hua Shengmi enthusiastically said, "So this is what it feels like to be human, it’s pretty great."
Lin Feng’s consciousness now started saying, "Hey, don’t get lost in thought, the opponent wielding a weapon is attacking."
The grey-haired man had no idea what Lin Feng was up to, assuming this was a provocation, he vented his rage, thus striking with the shining sword.
Though the opponent held a Divine Artifact, as the grey-haired man’s energy was limited, unlike Lin Feng who possessed the Innate Spiritual Seed to supply and store vast energy instantly transmitted to the Divine Artifact or Soul Device, maximizing the weapon’s effectiveness. Though the power was limited, it was far stronger than others’ utilization.
This was Lin Feng’s advantage, indeed the full power of a Divine Artifact or Soul Device cannot be unleashed by the Six Realms; they can only utilize a fraction. It comes down to the user’s cultivation; the stronger it is, the more energy they can transmit to the Divine Artifact or Soul Device, triggering greater power from the weapon.
Ordinary people wielding these weapons cannot use them unless the Divine Artifact or Soul Device operates spontaneously to assist the owner.
The complexities are too deep to delve further.
