Mainland Martial Arts

Chapter 222 Continue on the road

After hearing Lin Feng's words, the three Chishas felt a wave of fear in their hearts. They seemed to see themselves being punished by Lin Feng, and the scene made them shudder. They nodded quickly and said, "We will strictly follow the orders of the boss and will never dare to disobey."

As the atmosphere relaxed, the group began to eat and drink happily. The hall was filled with laughter, and everyone temporarily forgot the previous unpleasantness. Chi Sha recounted some of their interesting stories from Chijin Mountain, and his followers and Guan Sheng also chimed in, making everyone laugh.

Unconsciously, several hours had passed. Lin Feng and his companions had eaten and drunk their fill. Lin Feng looked out the window at the sky, a sense of urgency welling up in his heart. He said, "We should set off. Time is running out. We must reach the capital as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Chisha, Dangyu, and Guansheng quickly stood up and said, "Let's take the boss down the mountain."

When they arrived outside the village, Lin Feng and the other three mounted their horses. Chi Sha and the other two stood by, their faces filled with reluctance. Chi Sha said, "Boss, take care on your journey. We'll be waiting for your return."

Lin Feng looked at the three Chi Shas with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and said, "You must also remember what I said and don't let me down." After that, he waved his whip and took Chen Xiner, Chen Yu and Xu Tian to rush towards the capital.

After a long day of travel, night fell like a heavy velvet curtain, quietly covering the earth. Deep in the forest, Lin Feng, Chen Xin'er, Chen Yu, and Xu Tian paused their weary steps. The air was filled with a damp scent, and the branches and leaves of the trees swayed gently in the night breeze, rustling as if whispering ancient secrets.

Chen Yu and Xu Tian sat on the ground beside the newly built fire. Chen Yu's face looked a little grim in the firelight. He frowned slightly, staring intently at the dancing flames, as if searching for answers within them.

Xu Tianze leaned against a rough stone, his eyes half-open and half-closed, a look of contentment on his face, as if he was thoroughly enjoying this moment of tranquility. The flames danced happily, dispelling the surrounding darkness and bringing a touch of warmth.

Not far away, Lin Feng and Chen Xin'er performed Qinggong, their figures floating like ghosts, landing lightly on the top of a large tree. They snuggled together quietly, Lin Feng's arms tightly wrapped around Chen Xin'er's slender waist, as if to merge her into his body. From the high treetops, they gazed up at the deep, boundless sky.

The stars dotted the sky like brilliant gems, gleaming with mysterious light. The bright moon shone softly, though still a little short of a perfect circle, its bright light still illuminated the entire forest, adding a sense of tranquility and beauty to the silent night.

At this moment, although the dangerous atmosphere was still lingering around like an invisible spider web, they felt a rare sense of relaxation in their hearts during this moment.

Chen Xiner raised her head slightly, her beautiful eyes like clear lake water, gleaming with concern. She whispered to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, how did you achieve this amazing level of cultivation?"

Lin Feng frowned slightly, his eyes becoming somewhat profound, as if he had traveled through the tunnel of time and returned to the distant past. He was silent for a moment, his slightly pursed lips revealing his inner struggle.

Then he slowly began to speak: "That was on the battlefield at the front. It was an extremely brutal battle. The battlefield was filled with smoke and the shouts of killing were deafening. I was seriously injured in that battle. The injury was so serious that it was almost incurable." His voice was a little low, as if every word carried the painful memories of the bloody battlefield.

Chen Xiner felt a sudden pain in her heart as she listened to Lin Feng's words. Tears of heartache gleamed in her beautiful eyes. She hugged Lin Feng tightly, as if trying to dispel the pain in his heart with her warmth. Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, "You must have suffered a lot."

Lin Feng sensed Chen Xiner's distress. He gently stroked her hair, his gentle gesture like comforting a wounded child. "It's okay, it's all over," he said. He continued, "Later, as I lay on the cold battlefield, quietly awaiting death, the people of Taixu Valley appeared. They suddenly appeared before me like immortals descending from the sky. They taught me a magical technique called the 'Yin Yang Qi Transformation Method,' and used it to transfer the cultivation of General Li Hua, one of the Twelve Generals, into my body."

Chen Xiner's beautiful eyes opened wide, and she said in surprise, "There's actually such a magical technique?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it was because of this that my cultivation was able to break through, and the originally fatal injury also slowly began to recover."

Chen Xiner listened to Lin Feng's words, her heart still filled with heartache. She gently stroked Lin Feng's face, and the gentle touch seemed to express her love for Lin Feng. She said, "You must have suffered a lot."

After a while, Chen Xiner seemed to remember something. She frowned and asked, "Why did the people from Taixu Valley help you?"

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The only thing I know is that they seemed to have come here specifically to save me."

Chen Xiner's brows furrowed even more, her heart filled with confusion. She said, "This is strange. Taixu Valley is the most mysterious of the five major sects. They are proficient in all kinds of strange and mysterious techniques. The people in the sect have always come and gone without a trace, and they can even predict major events in the future. What they did doesn't seem to be in line with their usual style."

Lin Feng nodded slightly and said, "Yeah, I find it strange too."

Chen Xiner asked again, "Did the people from Taixu Valley say anything to you when they rescued you?"

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "They didn't say anything." Chen Xiner's face showed an even more puzzled expression. She said, "This is even more strange."

Both of them were extremely intelligent, but at that moment, they couldn't figure out why the people from Taixu Valley had saved Lin Feng. The mysterious Taixu Valley seemed shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to discern its mysteries. Finally, they sighed helplessly and decided to put this question aside for the time being.
