Chapter 418: Chapter 4 Pursuers

“Little brother, hurry and leave this place,” someone secretly transmitted a message to Lin Feng. “The man you’ve crippled is the grandson of Qingyang Sect’s Fifth Elder, Liu Zixu. The Fifth Elder is notorious for his vendettas. Once he learns of this, he will certainly not let you off.”

“Thank you for the warning!” Lin Feng replied.

He wasn’t scared for himself, but it was mainly the elderly, Rou’er, and Little Yunyun — the three of them certainly couldn’t stay here any longer.

“Young Master, please go quickly. If you leave too late, you’ll surely not be able to escape the clutches of Qingyang Sect!”

The old man also knew how terrifying a force Qingyang Sect was and couldn’t help but worry for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said, “Old man, if we leave, we leave together. Do you have any relatives in town?”

The old man shook his head and said, “It’s just the three of us, depending on each other for survival.”

“Do you have relatives elsewhere?” Lin Feng asked.

The old man replied, “In Ping City, I have a distant cousin who runs a security escort. Perhaps we could seek refuge with him.”

“Ping City? Do you know where that is?” Lin Feng inquired.

“We are in Cai Chihuo Country; Ping City is in West State Country,” said the old man.

“Alright, old man, do you have any belongings to pack? I will personally escort you there,” said Lin Feng.

“This young man is really…” Many people were moved and admired Lin Feng’s character greatly.

With the situation having reached this point, instead of choosing to flee, he was determined to protect these grandparents and their grandchild on their journey.

“Little brother, there are gryphon mounts to the northwest of the town; you can rent or buy a gryphon there!”

A cultivator secretly transmitted this message, obviously not wanting to reveal their identity, probably for fear of being targeted by Qingyang Sect’s hatred.

Lin Feng felt grateful and somewhat emotional, seeing there were still many cultivators with an Ancient Road Heroic Heart.

“Rou’er, go back and take some valuables,” said the old man.

Rou’er nodded and quickly went into the house, returning with a bundle.

Lin Feng said, “We should not delay; let’s go now.”

Then Lin Feng picked up Little Yunyun, and with Rou’er supporting the old man, they left quickly without tarrying.

Lin Feng spent a substantial amount of money to purchase a gryphon beast, and everyone mounted it, flying towards West State Country.

Little Yunyun had now recovered from her fright; being young and experiencing a flight on a gryphon beast for the first time, she was extremely excited.

“Big brother, Little Yunyun can fly now,” she said happily. She curled up in Lin Feng’s arms, tightly clutching his clothes, shyly looking into the distance as if afraid of being blown away by the wind.

“When Little Yunyun grows up, she can start cultivating. Then, Little Yunyun won’t need to ride a gryphon beast; she’ll be able to fly on her own,” Lin Feng said, smiling as he rubbed Little Yunyun’s head.

Little Yunyun’s face lit up with surprise and asked, “Wow, I can fly on my own? Will Little Yunyun grow wings like this big monster?”

Suddenly, her expression turned to one of fear. She clung tightly to Lin Feng, shaking her head, “Big brother, Little Yunyun doesn’t want to grow wings; Little Yunyun is scared.”

Lin Feng laughed and said, “Of course, Little Yunyun won’t grow wings. You won’t need to; you’ll be able to fly without them.”

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Little Yunyun brightened up. She hugged Lin Feng’s neck, her little face pressed against his, and said, “Then, in the future, Little Yunyun will be able to fly to find big brother on her own.”

“Yes, and when that time comes, Little Yunyun will be able to protect big brother,” Lin Feng said, pinching her delicate, pinchable cheek.

Little Yunyun nodded solemnly and said earnestly, “Little Yunyun will definitely protect big brother in the future. No one is allowed to bully big brother. If someone bullies big brother, Little Yunyun won’t like them. Little Yunyun will chase them away and avenge big brother.”

“Little Yunyun is such a good girl,” said Lin Feng with a smile.

Watching the affectionate interaction between Lin Feng and Little Yunyun, the elder and Rou’er both showed warm expressions.

After traveling nonstop for three days, both man and beast were exhausted. Lin Feng landed the Griffin Beast in a forest. He roasted some Three-eyed Demon Wolf meat and cooked Snake Soup, both nourishing foods that could quickly restore one’s strength. After the meal, the elder and Little Yunyun rested in a cave while the Fire Kirin also lay down inside the cave to sleep. Lin Feng, meanwhile, took his place on a large tree outside to keep watch through the night, taking turns with the Fire Kirin to be ready for any sudden incidents.

“Brother Feng…” A shy voice called out from below, and in the night, a pretty figure raised her head to look up.

“Rou’er, why aren’t you asleep yet?” asked Lin Feng.

With flushed cheeks, Rou’er said, “Brother Feng, Rou’er wants to talk to you.”

Lin Feng nodded, jumped down, wrapped his arm around Rou’er’s slender waist, and with a leap, they both jumped onto a thick branch of the tree, which was so wide that it would take more than a dozen men to encircle it. Sitting face to face on the branch, Rou’er, with a blushing face, said, “Thank you for your great kindness, Brother Feng. If it hadn’t been for you, Rou’er might have already bitten her tongue and committed suicide. I shudder to think what would have become of Grandfather and Yunyun.”

“Silly girl, no need to thank me,” Lin Feng said with a smile as he ruffled Rou’er’s hair, then feeling that the gesture may have exceeded the boundaries of their “friendship,” he awkwardly withdrew his hand.

Rou’er’s cheeks were a shade of pink, but inside, she felt very happy.

She really liked being so affectionate with Brother Feng.

“Boom, boom,” at that moment, the sound of an Exotic Beast crushing the void rang from afar, accompanied by a deep roar.

The Griffin Beast let out a cry of alarm, struggled free from its ropes, and fled into the distance.

“This isn’t good, the Qingyang Sect is here,” Lin Feng said, his face slightly changing.

“Brother Feng, you run! Don’t worry about us,” Rou’er said, her face pale, her delicate body trembling.

“Don’t worry, with me here, no one can hurt you,” Lin Feng said.

He swiftly descended from the tree and placed Rou’er back into the cave.

The elder and Little Yunyun were also awakened by the commotion.

“Big brother, Little Yunyun is scared,” Little Yunyun said, frightened.

“Don’t be afraid, Yunyun, it will be okay,” Lin Feng said as he touched Little Yunyun’s cheek.

“Whoever comes in, kill without mercy,” he immediately instructed the Fire Kirin.

…

The Fire Kirin nodded in agreement.

…

Meanwhile, Lin Feng quickly stepped out of the cave, cast an obscuring Spirit Array to hide the entrance, aware that the Array skill would not fool experts, he could only hope that not too many skilled pursuers would come this time.

“Kid, you can’t escape,” a cold voice came from a distance.

Boom, boom…

Then, a dozen Black Flame Beasts charged through the void, each with a deeply-aureoled Cultivator seated upon it.

A total of fifteen people.

Seeing these fifteen experts, Lin Feng’s expression became more serious than ever.

Fifteen Martial King Realm powerhouses.

The strength that the Qingyang Sect had mobilized to pursue him was indeed astonishing.
