Lin Feng and Ru Meng traveled together.
After a day and night of continuous galloping, the relationship between the two had obviously improved a lot and they were no longer strangers.
And this was exactly what Lin Feng wanted.
"The Qiyue Palace is in chaos?!" Lin Feng was shocked.
"Yes, to tell you the truth, Brother Lin, it is indeed so." There was a faint worry in Ru Meng's eyes. Now that her relationship with Lin Feng had improved, there was no longer so much taboo between them. She was also a straightforward person. "Since father disappeared inexplicably, the Qiyue Palace has fallen into a state of internal strife."
"Is there no one else who can temporarily take over the palace's affairs?" Lin Feng was slightly puzzled.
"Yes, Deputy Palace Master Uncle Qian Jun." Ru Meng smiled, revealing a small dimple. "Uncle Qian Jun is gentle and elegant. Although he is not as shrewd as father in handling the palace's affairs, he is careful and meticulous. But those old fools in the Elder Compound are always obstructing him." After saying this, Ru Meng curled her lips and seemed to be very dissatisfied.
Lin Feng's eyes flashed and he nodded.
It was not difficult to understand what Ru Meng said. Now that the Qiyue Palace was leaderless, the two factions were obviously fighting both openly and secretly.
A struggle for power!
Where there are people, there will naturally be all kinds of fighting.
"Wild Feather Tribe, Fierce Yan School, and the Qiyue Palace are three pillars."
"For tens of thousands of years, they have maintained a delicate balance. Now, the Wild Feather Tribe suddenly rose in revolt …"
"Could it be related to the internal strife in the Qiyue Palace?"
Lin Feng thought for a moment and thought of many things in an instant.
Once the Qiyue Palace fell into internal strife, it could not even take care of itself. The alliance with Liyan School was an important matter in the palace. It had to be decided by the Palace Master, who was a master of the sect, to advance or retreat. Now that there was no one in charge in the palace, how could the Vice Palace Master, Qian Jun, make a decision beyond the Elder Compound?
It was very dangerous!
"No wonder the Wild Feather Tribe was sneaking around."
"Obviously, they want to take advantage of the fact that the Qiyue Palace can't take care of itself and catch Fierce Yan School off guard!"
"It seems that they have been planning for a long time, maybe …"
Lin Feng's eyes flashed with coldness and fierceness. "The disappearance of the Palace Master of Qiyue Palace, Xing Qiya, is related to the Wild Feather Tribe!"
"I have to inform Master about this as soon as possible. The longer we drag this out, the more variables there will be."
"I wonder how Fierce Yan School is doing outside."
A hint of worry flashed through Lin Feng's eyes. What's more, without the support of the Qiyue Palace, the Fierce Yan School's power was indeed inferior to the Yanling Tribe. Just from the actions of the Yanling Royal Residence, it could be seen that the plan laid out by the Yanling Royal Residence was tight and seamless. Obviously, it had been planned for a long time!
Holding the sensor in his right hand, Lin Feng immersed himself in it.
At this moment, countless light spots around the Fourth Heaven were rushing towards the center at a crazy speed!
The purple light was a sign that a treasure had been unearthed!
"No matter what the situation outside is like, we must do our best to prevent any more casualties among the disciples of Fierce Yan School."
"We can't let the Yanling Tribe succeed in their scheme!"
Lin Feng was awe-inspiring, his expression resolute.
He had tried his best to cultivate in the Purple Star Realm for nine hundred days, all for the sake of —
This was the moment!
…
…
At the center of the Fourth Heaven.
This was the place where the purple mist was the thickest.
It was a sign that a treasure had been unearthed!
"Has the treasure been unearthed?"
"I don't know. Let's look around."
"Gosh, isn't the area covered by the purple mist a little too big?"
…
The cultivators who were the first to enter the purple mist entered with excitement in their hearts.
However, it was as if they were trapped in a maze. They couldn't even tell the direction, let alone find the purple treasure. They were like headless flies flying around in a mess. Most of them didn't know the rules of the Yanling Royal Residence. As Wan Gu said, they were just trying their luck.
However, how could a purple treasure be obtained by luck alone?
…
"Senior Brother, should we travel at full speed?" Wan Mo was a little anxious.
"Is there a need?" Wan Gu's expression was calm, but his speed was neither fast nor slow. He walked in front of the group.
"This …" Wan Mo hesitated. "Although our target is the Fierce Yan School's disciples, this is a rare purple treasure. If we can get it together, it will undoubtedly be icing on the cake."
Wan Gu's expression was calm. "The treasure won't be unearthed. Don't worry."
Wan Mo was slightly stunned. He looked at Wan Gu.
Wan Gu said calmly, "Starting from the green sign, the blue and indigo signs can be followed. For example, for the green sign, the treasure will only be unearthed when 20% of the Fourth Heaven martial artists step into the green mist. For the blue sign, 40% of the Fourth Heaven martial artists and 60% of the Indigo sign. According to the rules, the purple sign needs —"
"80%." Wan Gu's eyes flickered.
"I see!" Wan Mo was enlightened. His old face turned red.
In terms of knowledge and experience, he was indeed far behind Wan Gu.
No wonder Wan Gu wasn't in a hurry. The total number of Fourth Heaven martial artists wouldn't exceed 1,000. Among them, there were more than 300 people from the Yanling Royal Residence alone, accounting for more than 30% of the total. If 30% of the Yanling Royal Residence martial artists didn't arrive, how could the purple treasure be unearthed?
"Recuperate. There will be a fierce battle when we enter the purple mist."
"When the time comes, we don't need to hide our identities. We can kill openly!"
"When the treasure is unearthed, blood is needed as a sacrifice. The higher the level of the treasure, the more blood it needs — "
"The more blood it needs!"
Wan Gu's eyes flickered. His killing intent was fully unleashed.
"Yes, I understand, Senior Martial Brother." Wan Mo cupped his hands and said respectfully.
…
…
Three days later.
"We're finally here." Zhu Ling's eyes flickered.
In front of them was a purple mist, which condensed a powerful force.
This was the sign of the purple treasure being unearthed.
Behind Zhu Ling, there were a total of 29 martial artists. The remaining 60 disciples of the Fierce Yan Sect were divided into two groups. Zhu Ling's group was based on the first team's structure. There were 10 more members. Ji Xiu, Lei Ba, and Qin Huaihuai were in Zhu Ling's group.
"Second Senior Martial Brother, we shouldn't have taken this risk." The one who spoke was a thin young man. His eyes flickered with wisdom.
The former vice-captain of the first team, Qian Xin. He was also a disciple of Ji Jin. However, unlike Zhu Ling and Lin Feng, Qian Xin was a candidate disciple. He hadn't become an official disciple. In terms of intelligence and the overall situation, Qian Xin was quite good. However, in terms of strength and talent, he was slightly lacking.
"Why would I want to get involved in this mess?" Zhu Ling's eyes flickered as he shook his head.
Qian Xin remained silent. After working with Zhu Ling for so long, how could he not understand?
Ji Qing's group had already entered the purple mist area. The 30 elite disciples of the Fierce Yan Sect were all among them. If he ignored them and allowed them to take the risk, as the second-in-line successor to the Sect Master, Zhu Ling couldn't bear to do so.
They were bound together for good or ill.
Turning around, Zhu Ling looked at the crowd and said seriously, "Everyone, listen up. Once you encounter great danger, leave immediately."
Qian Xin agreed. "There are wolves in front and tigers behind. Now that the Fierce Yan Sect is in great danger, we mustn't risk our lives for a treasure."
"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison.
This group was made up of the original members of the first team. They were indeed quite cohesive.
Even the 10 members who joined later were inclined to support Zhu Ling. They were very sure of his judgment.
"Alright." Zhu Ling's eyes flickered. "Let's go."
…
In the thick purple mist area.
It was so dark that one couldn't even see one's fingers. Even one's aura detection couldn't spread out. One could only barely see things.
Zhu Ling moved forward carefully. He had already put away his frivolous attitude. He was now the second-in-line successor to the Sect Master position.
He had to be responsible for the entire group!
There couldn't be any mistakes.
"I heard from Master that when a blue treasure was unearthed, the mist didn't seem to be so thick."
"This purple treasure is indeed extraordinary."
Zhu Ling thought to himself. His expression was solemn.
He had experienced red treasures, yellow treasures, and even green treasures being unearthed.
However, the purple treasure was like a lady getting into a bridal sedan.
This was the first time!
"Safety first. Then, protect Senior Sister Ji's group as much as possible."
"After that, see if there's a chance to snatch this purple treasure."
Zhu Ling's thoughts were clear. He wasn't greedy.
Perhaps the purple treasure was very attractive, but he knew that now wasn't the time.
He had discussed with Qian Xin more than once that there was a certain force in the Yanling Royal Residence that was extending its sharp teeth at the Fierce Yan Sect. If they weren't careful, they wouldn't even have a corpse left.
"No matter what, I have to find Senior Sister Ji first."
"When the two groups meet, no matter what we do, it'll be half the result with twice the effort."
…
Time passed slowly.
As the two groups of people from the Fierce Yan Sect entered, the purple mist area became more and more lively.
Everyone was patiently searching for traces of the purple treasure. However, most of the martial artists were not clear about the 'rules,' because red, orange, and yellow treasures would be immediately unearthed as long as there were signs of them appearing. They did not have as many 'conditions' as purple treasures.
"Soon."
"In about two hours."
Lin Feng held the sensor tightly and closed his eyes.
He had already left Ru Meng and was heading to the purple mist area alone.
Although Ru Meng was strong, compared to him, there was still a huge gap in speed.
If it was any other time, Lin Feng wouldn't be bothered.
However, right now …
"At this speed, I should be able to catch up with the Yanling Royal Clan."
"I have to stop them. With more than three hundred warriors gathered, if the Senior Brothers and Sisters of the Fierce Yan Sect meet them, I'm afraid …"
"It'll be a situation of death."
Clenching his fists, Lin Feng was like a gust of wind as he sped forward.
He didn't want to see his fellow disciples being killed!
…
…
"We're finally here." Wan Gu's eyes were cold.
Behind him, more than three hundred warriors from the Yanling Royal Clan were ready to go. Their morale was high.
They had been traveling continuously but maintained their normal speed. To them, it was like a warm-up.
Now, their morale was at its peak!
Pa! He turned on the radar.
Wan Gu's lips curled into a smile. There was a flashing light spot on the radar.
If Zhu Ling saw this, he would definitely be horrified. There was actually a traitor among the remaining sixty Fierce Yan Sect's disciples!
It was just one traitor, but it was enough to turn the situation around.
It would send the people from the Fierce Yan Sect to hell!
"Let's go!" Wan Gu's voice was firm.
He didn't say anything else. Only three words came out of his mouth.
With an unquestionable tone, Wan Gu took the lead and stepped into the purple mist area like a general on a war expedition.
Thick killing intent filled the air.
