After all, Liang Qian was only a prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not the crown prince. He couldn't compare to the Qin Dynasty's Chongyun Crown Prince, who had Dao Master Xing Dou accompanying him. However, he also had two late Yuanying ancestor guards.
The middle-aged man who looked like a scholar from the Golden Elixir Period seemed to be a strategist. This was normal. It didn't mean that the higher one's cultivation was, the better one would be at scheming. This was especially true for a prince like Liang Qian who aspired to the position of crown prince. He definitely needed a strategist.
Compared to these people, the young man called Chu Yang seemed a little different.
Although he was dressed as a servant, his temperament was completely different from ordinary servants.
In particular, this person's eyes revealed a sense of vicissitudes that was completely different from his age.
Lin Feng transmitted to Zhu Yi, "Little Yi, this Chu Yang, did he look like this when you first met him?"
"Master, when I first met him, he disguised himself very well. He was just like Liang Qian's personal servant." Zhu Yi also replied to Lin Feng through mana sound transmission: "At the start when Liang Qian wanted to bring him up the mountain together, I didn't pay attention. I only thought that he was Liang Qian's most convenient servant.
"But after leaving the main group and setting off, when only the six of us were left, this person became like this."
Zhu Yi swept a glance at Chu Yang, "This person didn't seem to plan on disguising himself. He even bowed to me. I can tell that this bow is out of respect for my cultivation and strength. It has nothing to do with my status."
Liang Qian naturally also noticed Lin Feng's gaze landing on Chu Yang. He hesitated for a moment before calmly saying, "This fellow daoist Chu is junior's friend and junior has benefited greatly from him. In order to move around conveniently and protect his safety, I've disguised myself as a servant.
Chu Yang smiled slightly and cupped his fists towards Lin Feng, "Senior, please don't blame me. The fourth prince and I had no choice."
He laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's just that my cultivation is too low. Any assassin would be able to take my life."
"Oh? Young friend, you're underestimating yourself, "Lin Feng said indifferently.
Hearing this, the other three people beside Liang Qian frowned slightly, then relaxed. However, they couldn't help but look at Chu Yang with a bit more caution.
Chu Yang's eyes flashed as he looked up at Lin Feng. Although it was just a brief glance, this action was already quite rude.
In this glance, Lin Feng could clearly feel a sharp aura radiating from Chu Yang.
That is a kind of aura that seems like it is going to pierce through the nine heavens and howl through the wind and clouds. Even if this youth is only at the qi disciple stage right now Lin Feng can still clearly feel it.
There was no other reason, it was just that Lin Feng was too familiar with this type of aura, so familiar that he could see it every day and be surrounded by it every day.
Wasn't this the aura of a prince chosen by the heavens?
Although the details were different, no matter how powerful one was, they would still become a backdrop for Chu Yang's rise. Add to this the domineering aura of 'if you touch me, I'll cut off your leg'. The essence of the aura of a prince that made his underlings bow their heads in worship was exactly the same.
"I'm surrounded by this aura almost every day, and it's the aura of a prince multiplied by four." Lin Feng shook his head and laughed inwardly. He transmitted to Zhu Yi, "Little Yi, how do you feel about this Chu Yang?"
"I'm asking about the most direct, most basic, first impression."
Zhu Yi raised his eyebrows, "Most basic, first impression? It's an indescribable feeling. It's a little awkward, a little sympathetic, but also a little annoying. "
"That's right." Lin Feng thought, 'Like repels. We're both the darlings of this era, the prided geniuses of legends. It's only natural that we don't see eye to eye with each other.'
Even with Xiao Yan and the others, it was probably the same at the beginning. It was only as they interacted with each other that it all turned into a brotherly bond.
Lin Feng looked at the youth in front of him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. Chu Yang laughed bitterly in his heart and bowed, "Senior, please don't tease me."
He felt a little uneasy, 'Could it be that the master of the Mystic Gate can see through my secret? Master and Sect Master are right. This person is indeed unfathomable. I must be careful and try to avoid contact with him as much as possible. '
"The target meets the criteria, but has already taken someone else as his master. The original master-disciple relationship must be dissolved before he can become the host's direct disciple."
Lin Feng used the system's talent detector to check on Chu Yang and received a result that made him feel sorry for him.
He didn't continue to make things difficult for Chu Yang. The other party had lied in front of him, and what he said just now was enough to make Chu Yang suffer. The little guy wanted to rack his brains to dispel the doubts of Liang Qian and the others.
However, as Lin Feng chatted with Liang Qian, he used his transcendence energy to send a voice transmission to Chu Yang, "Little friend, who is your master?"
Chu Yang's expression didn't change, but he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, 'Could it be that you only saw through my master's background?'
He also used his transcendence energy to send a voice transmission to Lin Feng, "My master, Meng Chaoran, has also met senior once. My master often mentions senior in front of this junior, praising you as a role model for us cultivators."
The image of a tranquil and otherworldly middle-aged man appeared in Lin Feng's mind.
"So you're a disciple of Beyond Heaven Mountain." Lin Feng felt slightly regretful. Even though Wu Yun Liang and Meng Chaoran had taken a wait-and-see attitude during the opening ceremony outside Sand Continent City, Lin Feng didn't blame them. After all, he hadn't brought them any benefits, so why should they risk their lives for him?
Of course, on the other hand, they hadn't contributed anything at the time, so if they wanted to ask Lin Feng for help afterwards, Lin Feng wouldn't care.
Overall, Lin Feng had a good impression of Wu Yun Liang and Meng Chaoran, especially Meng Chaoran.
'Looking at this Chu Yang, he seems to have a good relationship with his master.' Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, "I won't think about it anymore. I hope that both master and disciple can write their own legends."
The host and guests sat in the main hall of Xuanmen Tianzong, the All-Heavens Great Hall. Lin Feng sat in the middle of the main seat, while Liang Qian and the others sat below him, respectfully following the etiquette of a junior. Zhu Yi sat beside him, and the conversation between the two sides could be considered to be joyful.
Silently, Chu Yang sat at the last seat, listening more and speaking less. Liang Qian and the others knew this side of him very well. They already knew that Chu Yang was an observant person, and that his words would always hit the nail on the head.
But in reality, Chu Yang was currently absent-minded, and his mind had already flown to god knows where.
'Was that a dream, and I'm currently in reality, or was that actually reality, and I'm just daydreaming?'
Chu Yang was lost in thought. Not long ago, he had accidentally fainted while cultivating with his junior brother. In the process of fainting, he felt as if he had experienced a long period of time, as if he had stepped into the river of time.
It was like a real experience, something that should have happened. Chu Yang stood there, as if he was witnessing the future of his life. Everything was detailed and real, and every person he came into contact with was vivid and lifelike.
But that was definitely a tragic life.
Chu Yang saw his sect, Heaven's Beyond Mountain, be destroyed in the near future. The sect was reduced to ruins, and the corpses of his fellow disciples littered the ground. His master, Meng Chaoran, who had raised him since he was young, died in battle, and died with Heaven's Beyond Mountain.
And before that, he was protected by Meng Chaoran, but the ignorant him didn't even know why his sect would be attacked by Heaven's Beyond.
After that, he desperately investigated the cause of Heaven's Beyond Mountain's disaster. Finally, he found out that Heaven's Beyond Mountain was actually a sacrifice in the conflict between the Shushan Sword Sect and the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Heaven's Beyond Mountain was attached to the Shushan Sword Sect, and the Great Zhou Dynasty's Fourth Prince, Liang Qian, planned to visit the Shushan Sword Sect. Previously, when he was touring the Kunlun Mountains, the Shushan Sword Sect had arranged for Heaven's Beyond Mountain, which was located at the southern foot of the Kunlun Mountains, to play host.
Originally, everything was normal, but in the end, Liang Qian was assassinated at the southern foot of the Kunlun Mountains. After the investigation, it was discovered that he had been betrayed, and thus fell into a trap. The traitor pointed directly at Heaven's Beyond Mountain.
Heaven's Beyond Mountain suffered the wrath of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and thus was destroyed. This incident became the fuse, and then a series of conflicts occurred. In the end, the relationship between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Shushan Sword Sect deteriorated rapidly.
Facing the huge Great Zhou Dynasty, Chu Yang didn't cower. He had obtained an opportunity that belonged to him, and so he focused on cultivation, looking forward to the day when he could rise again.
During the process of cultivation, he went to the Ancient Yuantian Realm, and there, he grew rapidly.
It was also in the Ancient Yuantian Realm that Chu Yang met the love of his life, but in the end, he lost her forever.
That experience was so real that Chu Yang felt waves of heartache when he thought about it now. "If this is a dream, I hope that I will never wake up from this dream. If this is a dream that predicts my future, I definitely won't let the tragedy repeat itself!"
In that world, Chu Yang died before his ambitions could be fulfilled. It was also at the moment of his death that his consciousness seemed to return to the current world, to the moment when he woke up after fainting while cultivating with his fellow disciples.
In order to prevent the tragedy from repeating itself, Chu Yang had been planning and preparing from the moment he woke up.
He displayed talent and wisdom that far surpassed what he had in the past. First, he gained the favor of his Uncle-Master, Wu Yunliang.
It was through the information revealed by Wu Yunliang and what he knew before that Chu Yang finally pieced together the truth of the destruction of Beyond Heaven Mountain in that life.
His Second Uncle-Master, one of the core figures of Beyond Heaven Mountain, had long been bribed by the Great Qin Empire's Minister Wu Qingrou. Beyond Heaven Mountain's affiliation with the Mount Shu Sword Sect was completely planned by Wu Qingrou. Liang Qian's assassination was also Wu Qingrou's doing.
Her goal was to make the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Zhou Dynasty face off, so that they would have no time to care about anything else.
And during this time, Wu Qingrou launched a purge of the Great Qin Empire's aristocratic forces.
This kind of internal strife was the easiest time for external enemies to take advantage of, but Wu Qingrou successfully sent the two enemies to fight first, eliminating the worry of the future. She took the opportunity to get rid of the biggest tumor that had weakened the Great Qin Empire in recent years.
But it was a pity for Beyond Heaven Mountain. Wu Qingrou was the person who planned the game, while the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Mount Shu Sword Sect were the players. Beyond Heaven Mountain was just a chess piece that was eaten after it had played its role.
After understanding the cause of the matter, Chu Yang naturally did his best to prevent all of this from happening. But there was always a kind of fear in his heart, especially when he looked at Lin Feng. This fear was even clearer.
"Can the future that I know from that dream become something that I can rely on? If it can, why does my dream not have the existence of this Master of the Daoist Sect? "
