Chapter 427: Chapter 13: Where Can We Not Meet in Life?

Qingyang Sect was located deep within the Ancient Forest, where a massive Dragon Vein flowed, its Dragon Qi billowing. From afar, one could vaguely see a great dragon sprawling within the depths of the forest.

The Dragon Vein represented “destiny.”

Situated atop the Dragon Vein, Qingyang Sect had extended its sect’s destiny for nearly a hundred thousand years, relying on this Dragon Vein to sustain and continuously produce Favored Sons of Heaven, who carried the sect’s legacy through generations.

Every day, many people from all directions rushed over, aspiring to join the Qingyang Sect for cultivation.

To the common folk, being able to enter Qingyang Sect was akin to stepping through the gates of an “Immortal Sect”—in the future, one could become like the immortals in legends, capable of Sky Flying and Earth Escaping, moving mountains and overturning seas.

…

“Is that Qingyang Sect?” Lin Feng stood atop a distant mountain and felt as if, amidst the contiguous mountains, a great dragon lay resting on the ground.

Of course, it wasn’t a real dragon, but the “Dragon Vein” of the Qingyang Sect, condensed and formidable with a majestic aura.

“What a Cave Heaven Blessed Land,” Lin Feng murmured.

“This Qingyang Sect really occupies a prime location. You should know that the East County Divine Land is not like other lands; it’s relatively desolate here, and Dragon Veins are rare!” said the Fire Kirin.

Lin Feng nodded.

It was precisely because Dragon Veins were rare in the East County Divine Land that the uniqueness of Qingyang Sect stood out.

Being able to possess a Dragon Vein in the desolate East County Divine Land spoke volumes of the power of this force.

Lin Feng, donning a straw hat, arrived with the Fire Kirin near the gates of Qingyang Sect.

The guards here were strict, with disciples patrolling the mountains and prohibitive restrictions guarding the gate; one could only enter through the gate.

Lin Feng sought alternative paths to enter but found none.

“The mountains are surrounded by restrictions; these restrictions are difficult to break, and even if broken, I fear they would be detected.”

Lin Feng muttered, slightly frowning. He had intended to sneak into Qingyang Sect in search of Zixiao’s sister, but it seemed this plan was going to fail.

While Lin Feng was lost in his concern, he spotted a sneaky figure dashing toward the back mountain. Seeing that figure, Lin Feng felt a mix of astonishment and dumbfoundedness; Wuliang Taoist, it was that damned Taoist! How did he get to Qingyang Sect, sneaking around as if he had some ulterior motive?

“This Taoist never does good, only masters in mischief. Coming to Qingyang Sect this time, he’s definitely not up to anything good. Let’s follow and see,” the Fire Kirin couldn’t help but roll its eyes upon seeing the Wuliang Taoist.

Fire Kirin indeed had a deep impression of the Wuliang Taoist!

Lin Feng nodded and quickly followed. Wuliang Taoist was very alert; detecting someone tailing him, he directly brandished a flying sword to strike. Lin Feng countered with his Black Dragon Sword, deflecting the Wuliang Taoist’s flying sword with a single slash.

“Taoist Venerable, what a small world for us to meet again like this. Fancy seeing each other here,” Lin Feng said with a smile, looking toward the Wuliang Taoist.

“It’s you, kid…”

Upon seeing Lin Feng, Wuliang Taoist’s face turned green. He rolled his eyes and said, “Am I, a revered Taoist master, not even checking the almanac before I went out today? To run into you, this shameless brat, again.”

Lin Feng retorted, “You can eat anything, but you can’t just say anything you like. Be careful, or I’ll sue you for defamation.”

Wuliang Taoist curled his lip and asked, “The Qingyang Sect has issued a bounty for you all over the place. What are you doing here at Qingyang Sect?”

Speaking, Wuliang Taoist stroked his chin and said, “I heard Qingyang Sect issued a black warrant to capture you. I’m considering whether I should just nab you now and collect the bounty from Qingyang Sect.”

Wuliang Taoist’s tone then shifted, saying, “However, if you return the Devouring Sky Vase to me, I might consider pretending I didn’t see you.”

Lin Feng laughed coldly and said, “Are you daydreaming? You dare covet this young master’s treasure? You believe I won’t crack your head open today?”

“Come on then, let’s see who’ll get killed!” Wuliang Taoist glared at Lin Feng unafraid.

Lin Feng understood Wuliang Taoist well, he was nothing but a despicable, shameless, treacherous, vile scoundrel. Lin Feng couldn’t be bothered to fight with Wuliang Taoist, and said, “Why bother? Both of us will end up hurt from such a fight; it’s no good for either of us. I guess you have your own reasons for coming to Qingyang Sect, don’t you? You’re not the kind of person who wanders around without purpose.”

“Hey…, what do you say to joining forces for a grand heist?” Wuliang Taoist squinted his eyes at Lin Feng.

“Oh?” Lin Feng looked at Wuliang Taoist in surprise.

“Haven’t you heard? The people from Martial Soul Hall are here investigating the high-ranking members of Qingyang Sect for practicing Evil Demon Skills. I bet you’re the one who leaked that information. Now the higher-ups at Qingyang Sect are frantically dealing with Martial Soul Hall’s inquiries. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

Wuliang Taoist rubbed his hands eagerly, a look of excitement on his face.

“What opportunity?” Lin Feng was still confused.

“This mountainous forest where we are, if we go ten miles west, that’s where Qingyang Sect buries their ancestors. The first ancestor of Qingyang Sect, Qingyang Daoist Venerable, was almost a Divine Spirit. Just think, what kind of burial gifts might be in his tomb?”

Wuliang Taoist enumerated on his fingers, “Spirit Stones, magical treasures, and ancient Divine Skills…”

“Grave robbing?” Lin Feng rolled his eyes. “If you dig up the ancestral graves of Qingyang Sect, won’t the sect despise you to death?”

“Ptui, ptui, ptui, kid, what are you saying? I’m conducting an archaeological excavation, understand? Archaeology!” Wuliang Taoist said unabashedly, not the least bit embarrassed.

Lin Feng asked, “Do the tombs of the ancestors of Qingyang Sect connect to the gateway of the Qingyang Sect?”

Wuliang Taoist nodded and declared, “Certainly!”

“Fine, we’ll work together to break the sect’s protective enchantments. You do your archaeological excavation, and I’ll go find someone inside Qingyang Sect. We’ll stick to our tasks,” Lin Feng proposed.

“No problem…” Wuliang Taoist nodded.

The reason Wuliang Taoist brought up a collaboration with Lin Feng was that he knew Lin Feng was also a Spirit Array Master with no small skill. The two went to a desolate mountain ten miles away, the burial site of Qingyang Sect’s ancestors.

Wuliang Taoist and Lin Feng joined forces to break the enchantment of the place. Wuliang Taoist said, “My method of breaking enchantments is called ‘Array Breaking Array.’ I will explain the principle of this method to you. I’ll set up a grand formation to break the enchantment here, and you’ll assist me on the side, helping me draw some simpler arrays.”

Lin Feng nodded, and after discussing for over an hour, Wuliang Taoist explained the “Array Breaking Array” method to Lin Feng, who memorized it all. Then, the two began breaking the array. After four hours, Lin Feng and Wuliang Taoist finally tore through the enchantment and quickly entered it. The broken enchantment swiftly healed, such was the terrifying aspect of Wuliang Taoist’s Array Breaking Array: to break through silently and let the torn enchantment quickly restore itself, so as not to attract the attention of Qingyang Sect.
