Chapter 413: The Era (1/2)

The Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue was built two years ago and hadn’t yet managed to attract the masses of geniuses the way it had anticipated.

The Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue was built in the hopes to entice the entire country of Xue Yue, it was built for the purpose of becoming one of the most influential powers of influence in Xue Yue. Even though it had seized some of the most outstanding disciples from the larger sects, the number of them who were able to become famous in the Imperial City could be counted on one hand.

Besides, the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue was continuously humiliated by Lin Feng, whom they hadn’t been able to kill when they destroyed the Yun Hai Sect. That tiny little disciple of the Yun Hai Sect had greatly impacted their reputation, especially in the Imperial City. Astonishing news about Lin Feng’s great accomplishments continued to spread through the city. At the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue, nobody had been able to create such a buzz in the Imperial City.

Of course, the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue wasn’t the only group who were overshadowed. No matter who you asked, if one person had to be chosen as the most astonishing person in the entire country, the only name you would hear would be Lin Feng.

He had set an entire city on fire to kill the army from Mo Yue and crush their invasion. He crossed into the enemy country to rescue the princess, he encircled the Imperial City and rescued Liu Cang Lan from receiving the death penalty for false crimes. He also killed Duan Tian Lang’s son, Duan Han, as Duan Tian Lang watched on. Then, he killed countless powerful members of the Wan Shou Sect in the Nine-Dragon Mountain Chain and at the Celestial Academy, each and every single one of his battles were breathtaking. There were also many things which the people didn’t know about, for example, in Celestial River, he had defeated the Blademaster Leng Yue and killed Bing Yuan, he easily dealt with a number of strong opponents in Celestial river, but nobody knew about those things in the Imperial City.

In two years, Lin Feng had created a storm wherever he went, nobody could compare to him. In the Imperial City, everybody knew his name.

Lin Feng was only eighteen years old and was one of the most famous names in the entire country.

The Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue, like the Celestial Academy created its own cultivation towers, they even created them on a larger scale to be grander and more magnificent than those of the academy.

At that moment, at the foot of one of the cultivation towers, was Lin Qian. She was wearing a bright red dress and looked very thin. She raised her head and looked to the top floor of the cultivation tower, she looked extremely sad and desolate.

Two years had passed since she joined the academy. She could vaguely remember what happened two years ago when Chu Zhan Peng went to the Yun Hai Sect. Back then, she used to be high-spirited and vigorous, she had an ice and fire spirit and Chu Zhan Peng had fallen for her, she used to think about how wonderful her future was going to be.

But at that moment, her dreams didn’t become a reality. It seemed like her destiny and Lin Feng’s destiny were both flipped upside down. Lin Feng had suddenly started rising to prominence and accomplishing many great things. He had been, step by step, walking down the path of a legendary cultivator. When he revealed himself at the annual meeting of the Lin Clan in Yangzhou City, he had already displayed his magnificence and at the same time, Lin Qian had lost her splendour.

Then, a year ago, Lin Feng obtained his own army and gained Yangzhou City as a fief. Lin Feng and his troops had magnificently stormed into Yangzhou City and swept away all obstacles that stood in his way. Lin Feng was high-spirited, vigorous and dynamic. He quickly became the head of the local government in Yangzhou City and had obtained the name of Chi Xie Marquis. However, Lin Qian was only able to watch her family be oppressed by him, they didn’t even have the power to contest Lin Feng’s oppression.

Lin Qian’s only hope was lying on Chu Zhan Peng’s shoulders, without him, she would never be able to compete with Lin Feng. The young man whom she used to look down upon in the past, now held her in no regard. Also, the news that Lin Feng had defeated twelve Xuan Qi layer cultivators of the Wan Shou Sect by himself, was spreading. On top of that, amongst those twelve cultivators, there had been three cultivators of the third Xuan Qi layer… Lin Feng had, once again, amazed the entire Imperial City.

After that, the Wan Shou Sect sent a group of their most powerful cultivators to take their revenge but they were forced to retreat from the academy, when that powerful group finally returned to the Wan Shou Sect, only the vice-patriarch was left alive. Surprisingly, from that moment on, the Wan Shou Sect no longer dared to oppose Lin Feng as if they had forgotten their hatred completely.

Lin Feng had killed twelve cultivators of the Xuan Qi layer, including three of the third Xuan Qi layer, that news had left Lin Qian dumbstruck because she knew that in the past, Chu Zhan Peng was only at the third Xuan Qi layer.

Lin Feng had been able to kill three cultivators at the third Xuan Qi layer, therefore, was Chu Zhan Peng even capable of killing Lin Feng?

Lin Qian was convinced that she would never get her revenge, she hated Lin Feng. Therefore she had come to the cultivation tower to wait and started to daydream.

At the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue, many people were looking at Lin Qian. Some people were looking at her with admiring eyes while some other young girls were also looking at her with envy, because she was with Chu Zhan Peng. Some people also believed that if Lin Qian was waiting there, it was because she was waiting for him.

A surge of power shot into the sky, it was an extremely strong Qi that was streaking across the sky.

On the ground, some of the people who were walking suddenly stopped in their tracks. They raised their heads, looked at the sky and suddenly looked astonished.

They only saw a silhouette shooting across the sky like a meteor. There were two gigantic wings that could be seen, it was a legendary roc spirit, as it cried out, its cry echoed in the air into the horizon.

“It’s Chu Zhan Peng.” Some people were shivering. That silhouette that shot into the sky suddenly stopped and floated in the sky, it slowly flapped its wings. There was a confident smile on that strangely bestial face.
