Chapter 2261: Leaving the Territory

Lin Feng smiled casually and gazed into the distance. He had already traveled around the world. However, he couldn’t be like the leader and live like an ordinary person, because people who stood at the top already had everything they wanted in life. There was no risk they would fall anymore, almost.
Among the strong cultivators who stood at the top, some people had joined Shrines and had incredible privileges. Some people were invited all over the world, such as Shi Jue Lao Xian, and some people stood aloof from worldly strife. For them, cultivation was about cultivating one’s mind and body, but it was more maintenance work at their level.
Of course, some people decided to contribute to society even more by writing books for others, such as the strong cultivators who had written the books in the Shrines. Other extremely strong cultivators had written about the eight distresses to help people. It mainly depended on their lives.

Lin Feng spent some peaceful days on the leader’s side, living like an ordinary human being. Finally, the leader took Lin Feng away and they left.
“Father, come back soon!” said the leader’s daughter. He waved at his daughter and smiled, “Don’t worry, I’ll come back soon. Take care of your mother.”
“Alright!” smiled the young woman. Then, Lin Feng and the leader slowly disappeared from their field of vision.
People in the King of the Ten Thousand Beasts’ world were still amazed at the existence of a new Fighting Phantom. The ministers announced publicly that they would be looking for Fighting Phantom Protectors. All the ministers were involved. People who wanted to become Fighting Phantom Protectors could be recruited at all levels among Great Imperial and Tian level beasts. Many people wanted to become Fighting Phantom Protectors, and some of them were extremely strong. They cared about the future, and had long-term plans.
——
Thirty-six Fighting Phantom Protectors were chosen and gathered in front of the leader’s palace, waiting for the leader to come back. Some beasts who had lived for a very, very long time looked excited. They remembered back when the leader had become a Fighting Phantom, they had heard that many of his Protectors had a much higher cultivation level than him. Many of those people were already ministers and were extremely strong, but the leader had already become much stronger than them.
The new Fighting Phantom was even more special because he only had the strength of the Huang Qi layer, but he was already extremely strong. Many people who wanted to become Protectors actually had much better fighting abilities than him, but they didn’t think about too much. They knew it was only temporary. They were convinced that a thousand, or even just a hundred, years later, he’d be much, much stronger than them.
Two people arrived slowly. People raised their heads, and saw the leader and Lin Feng had returned. Where had the leader taken Lin Feng?
“These are the Fighting Phantom Protectors who have been chosen for you. You can keep some of them only, or all of them, as you wish.” said the leader to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng glanced over the crowd. The beasts there all looked terrifying and had a terrifying Qi. They were among the strongest people of the King of the Ten Thousand Beasts’ territory. Fighting Phantoms had an incredibly high social status, because they were sure to become leaders someday.
“I know that many of you are ambitious and proud. However, I need people who will listen to my orders. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite. Now, you can choose, you stay or you leave, as you wish,” said Lin Feng indifferently. He didn’t need to have a burden. If he had an extremely strong cultivator on his side, but that cultivator didn’t listen to him, then that would just be a burden; such cultivators were useless.
On the ground, many beasts’ eyes glittered. They were wondering, what would happen if someday Lin Feng asked them to do something they weren’t willing to do? Would they be willing to serve him?
“I give up,” said a beast. Stepping back, he bowed before the leader and left.
“Me too.” Very quickly, people left one after another. Just over twenty beasts were left. They all looked determined.
“You, you, leave now…” said Lin Feng, pointing at a few beasts. They all looked stupefied. Lin Feng didn’t want them, how humiliating! However, they didn’t know that Lin Feng had carefully observed their faces and had seen that they weren’t as determined as they thought.
Only eighteen beasts were now left. Lin Feng was surprised because apart from Dinuo, all the other beasts who had come to that world with him were there.
Eighteen beasts, six Celestial Imperial Beasts, Qi filling the air around them. Those Celestial Imperial Beasts were among the best in the territory.
“Master, last time, the King of the Ten Thousand Beasts told us that Fighting Phantoms could leave the territory, but can Fighting Phantom Protectors leave the territories?” asked Lin Feng.
“Of course, they’re your Protectors, and you have the privilege of being able to leave, you can keep them with you.”
