Mainland Martial Arts

Chapter 170 Demon Cult Chu Feng

Time passed in their hurried footsteps. Although they had not yet reached Jinyan City, the news of Lin Feng's battle with Xihai City Lord Mu Yan spread like a gust of wind to the four main cities west of the capital.

In the quaint and elegant courtyard of the Chen family in Jinyan City, Chen Hongtao and Chen Minghui, the patriarchs of the Chen family, were leisurely playing chess. Sunlight streamed down the chessboard, and the black and white pieces shimmered with a warm luster.

Chen Hongtao was holding the white piece and was about to make a move when he suddenly looked up at Chen Minghui and asked, "Is there anything new happening in the martial arts world lately?"

Chen Minghui smiled slightly and said, "Master, you may not know that a shocking event has happened recently."

Chen Hongtao became interested and put down the chess piece in his hand: "Oh? Tell me about it quickly."

Chen Minghui said excitedly, "It's about Lin Feng. I heard that he had a shocking battle with the city lord Mu Yan in Xihai City."

Chen Hongtao was slightly startled, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Lin Feng? Is it him?"

Chen Minghui nodded, his tone full of admiration: "It's him, the Patriarch. This Lin Feng is only eighteen years old, but he has already reached the realm of a high-level Grandmaster, and even defeated Grandmaster Mu Yan. He is truly gifted and can be said to be the best of all time!"

Chen Hongtao couldn't help but sigh, "This boy is truly extraordinary. When I first met him, I felt he was definitely something special. I didn't expect him to grow so quickly. He broke the record for the youngest Grandmaster and was even able to defeat a Grand Master. This is truly beyond the reach of us."

Chen Minghui smiled and touched the disappeared arm, his eyes showing admiration: "The head of the family is right. Now we can only respectfully call him senior."

As they talked, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

In the corner of the courtyard, a girl with a figure as graceful as a demon and a face as beautiful as a fairy was quietly hiding behind a pillar. She was wearing a light pink and white gradient dress, like a delicate flower in full bloom. When she heard them talking about Lin Feng, a hint of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes.

"Lin Feng is indeed in Xihai City." She whispered to herself, biting her lips with her pearly teeth, and made up her mind secretly.

Then, the girl tiptoed back to her room and quickly packed a bag. She carefully opened the door, looked around, and when she saw no one was around, she walked towards the wall.

When she reached the wall, the girl took a deep breath, stepped lightly, and easily climbed over the Chen family's wall with her body as light as a swallow.

Without looking back, she set out on the road to find Lin Feng. The breeze blew across her skirt, as if seeing her off.

Lin Feng continued to sit cross-legged quietly. Two or three days passed quietly. At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes. Those eyes were like a deep cold pool, sparkling with a brilliant light.

Lin Feng slowly stood up and stretched his slightly stiff body. He felt the Qi filling and flowing freely within him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he thought to himself, "My body has almost recovered. It's time to go meet up with Xu Tian and the others."

Meanwhile, on another winding mountain road, Xu Tian, ​​carrying Ma Qian on his back, trudged along. His forehead was covered in beads of sweat, which trickled down his cheeks and dripped into the dust beneath his feet, leaving tiny wet marks. Ma Ziyan, holding the child Chu Qing, followed beside Xu Tian. Her face was filled with fatigue, and her steps seemed heavy. Chu Qing's small face was also filled with weariness.

"Xu Tian, ​​let me go. Don't let me drag you down because of this burden." Ma Qian's voice was filled with deep guilt and helplessness. He looked at Xu Tian's sweaty back, and the self-blame in his heart became stronger.

Xu Tian gritted his teeth, his voice firm and powerful: "Uncle Ma, don't say that, I will never let you go."

Ma Ziyan looked at Xu Tian distressedly and said, "Brother Xu, let's stop and rest for a while. We are all exhausted."

Xu Tian looked at everyone and nodded. They found a relatively flat place under a big tree and sat down.

Ma Qian's eyes were filled with guilt. He recalled the last time he met Xu Tian, ​​and the shame in his heart deepened. Now, he felt that he had become a burden to everyone, causing Xu Tian so much hardship.

He thought to himself, "If Zi Yan hadn't married Chu Yi and given birth to Chu Qing, she might have had a happy marriage with Xu Tian. But now... oh, my heart is filled with guilt. How can I entrust Zi Yan to Xu Tian?"

During a short break, Ma Zi Yan took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from Xu Tian's forehead, her eyes full of concern.

Xu Tian felt Ma Ziyan's tenderness, and his heart warmed. He said, "Thank you, sister Ziyan."

Ma Zi Yan blushed and lowered her head. Their eyes met, but they quickly looked away because of the presence of Ma Qian and Chu Qing.

When everyone had rested enough, Xu Tian took a deep breath, carried Ma Qian on his back again, Ma Zi Yan took Chu Qing's hand, and the group continued to move forward.

Sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting patches of light and shadow on the ground. They carefully moved through the forest, the sounds of birdsong and the rustling of leaves in the wind intertwining with each other.

Suddenly, as they were passing through dense bushes, they came upon a horrifying scene. An old man, with his withered hands, was tightly gripping a man's neck. The man's face instantly turned pale, and his body withered at an alarming rate, as if the life itself had been drained away. Around them lay several shrunken corpses, emitting a chilling aura.

When Ma Zi Yan saw this scene, she covered her mouth with her hands in horror, her eyes widened, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Two-year-old Chu Qing didn't understand the danger in front of her, and her childish voice broke the brief silence.

Before Ma Zi Yan could cover Chu Qing's mouth, the old man had already heard the sound and turned his head suddenly.

When Chu Feng saw that the person coming was Ma Ziyan, a strange smile appeared on his face and he said, "It's Ziyan. You are not at home, what are you doing here?"

Ma Zi Yan was so scared that she hid behind Xu Tian. Xu Tian was as if facing a great enemy. His muscles were tense and his eyes were fixed on Chu Feng, full of vigilance.

Chu Feng walked towards Ma Ziyan slowly and unhurriedly.

Ma Ziyan suppressed her fear and said, "Great Elder, why are you here? The Chu family is about to be wiped out."

When Chu Feng heard the words "the Chu family was wiped out", he stopped in his tracks. A strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I've heard about that brat Lin Feng. Sooner or later, I will tear him into pieces!"

After saying that, Chu Feng's sinister gaze swept across Xu Tian and Chu Qing, then fixed on Ma Ziyan, and asked coldly: "Where are you going?"
