Misty Cloud Sect

Early the next morning, Lin Feng woke up feeling refreshed and invigorated. Relaxing a little last night had indeed made all the difference to his body and spirit. Those two had been quite skilled as well, truly easing the exhaustion from his body.

Stretching lazily, Lin Feng stood bare-chested. The wounds on his back had long since healed, leaving no trace of scars at all. On his back was a tattoo of lightning wings, formed from a Flight Dou Skill.

The sunlight outside was just right, and the bustling city had already welcomed the daytime clamor and liveliness.

Looking through the window at the crowded streets outside, Lin Feng knew it was time for him to set off.

He did not linger in Black Rock City, nor did he visit the so-called Alchemist Guild to take the alchemist certification. To him, none of that mattered right now. Since he possessed the ability, it made no difference whether he had the certification or not.

Of course, the main reason was that Lin Feng simply did not want to go. He had already broken through to become a fourth-tier alchemist; those people were not even his equals, so he could not be bothered.

After packing up and leaving the inn, Lin Feng was warmly seen off by the owner, who said that if the young master came to Black Rock City again, they would definitely give him a twenty percent discount.

Lin Feng nodded. The service attitude at this establishment was quite good, and more importantly, their service had been so thorough. It had left him with a rather favorable impression.

After leaving the inn, Lin Feng headed toward the flying transport station in the city center. After crossing several streets and asking a passerby for directions, half an hour later, Lin Feng arrived at the flying transport station standing in a vast plaza.

More than a dozen enormous Flying Birds and Beasts were resting in the spacious plaza. Beside them, uniformed attendants were collecting tickets.

Lin Feng looked around, spotted the ticket counter, and bought a ticket to the Tagor Desert.

When the glamorous woman selling tickets saw the card Lin Feng handed over, a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes. Cards like this represented guests of exceptionally noble status. She had not expected the young man before her to possess one, and she could not help but be astonished.

"What is it?"

Seeing the woman staring blankly at his card, Lin Feng spoke to remind her. Only then did she come back to her senses. "My apologies, sir. With this card, you may ride our flying transport free of charge."

Lin Feng looked at the card Ya Fei had given him. From its appearance and color alone, he had known it was no ordinary card, but he had not expected it to come with such privileges. Looking around, he saw that those traveling for free had all revealed their identities as alchemists. He was the first person like this.

Without wasting words, Lin Feng put away his card. The woman said a few words to a uniformed attendant beside her, and someone immediately led Lin Feng aside. "Sir, this way, please. You may enjoy the services provided by our transport station alongside the esteemed alchemists."

The alchemists were somewhat surprised by Lin Feng's arrival. He was not wearing an alchemist's uniform, yet the flying transport station treated him this way, so his identity was surely extraordinary as well. Still, alchemists always considered themselves superior to others. Thus, they paid Lin Feng little attention, each of them haughty and arrogant.

The ordinary people around them were different. In particular, several women dressed in purple cast flirtatious glances at Lin Feng, intentionally or otherwise. To them, those alchemists might be far beyond reach, but it was still possible to try and seduce such a young, handsome, and high-status young master.

Lin Feng boarded a Flying Bird and Beast with the others. A small house made from special wood stood atop its back.

"Esteemed guests, this is the flying beast bound for Desert City on the eastern border, the city closest to the Tagor Desert."

"May all of you have a pleasant journey."

Misty Cloud Sect.

Inside a room, Ge Ye, Yun Leng, and Yun Jun had gathered together. None of their expressions looked pleasant.

"Elder Yun Leng, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is gone. Lin Feng will definitely come for revenge. He isn't dead."

As Ge Ye spoke, his voice clearly carried traces of fear.

Some time ago, news had arrived that something had happened in Green Mountain Town. The Wolf Head Mercenary Group had been wiped out by a youth in white. At the time, he had been greatly shocked, followed by deep fear. He knew that youth in white had to be Lin Feng.

He was alive. He was actually alive!

Given the talent and bearing he had displayed that day, there could now be no reconciliation between them.

During these days, Ge Ye had lived in constant fear and had not even dared to descend the mountain. On his own, he had no confidence that he could face Lin Feng and emerge unscathed.

"Enough! Look at yourself. He has scared you into this state."

Seeing Ge Ye fear Lin Feng so deeply, Yun Leng immediately became displeased. He snorted coldly and barked out the rebuke.

Ge Ye's face was full of anxiety. "Elder Yun Leng, you saw what that fellow was like that day as well. Now that he survived by sheer luck, he will certainly come seeking revenge someday. I... we won't be able to escape."

Yun Leng's expression did not look good either. Lin Feng had survived the fatal strike he dealt that day by sheer luck, which had also surprised him.

He had witnessed Lin Feng's talent and strength that day. Given enough time, he would surely grow into a powerhouse, and by then, Yun Leng himself would be the one living in fear.

"Hmph! I refuse to believe he would dare come to the Misty Cloud Sect. If he dares to come, I will make sure he never leaves."

Yun Leng snorted. Although Lin Feng's talent was indeed monstrously exceptional, he truly did not believe Lin Feng would dare come to their doorstep seeking revenge. Did Lin Feng really think he alone could shake the Misty Cloud Sect? Even the Jia Ma Imperial Family treated the Misty Cloud Sect with considerable deference.

Yun Jun, standing nearby, said uneasily, "Are we supposed to stay in the Misty Cloud Sect for the rest of our lives?"

Ge Ye fell silent. After a moment of silence, Yun Leng said, "Focus on cultivating. No matter how monstrous his talent may be, he still needs time to grow. The more you improve your strength, the better your chances. As for staying in the Misty Cloud Sect for the rest of your lives... hmph, perhaps we can ask the Old Sect Leader to act and eliminate him."

At Yun Leng's words, Ge Ye's expression shifted. Some of the fear and anxiety faded as he asked uncertainly, "Will the Old Sect Leader take action?"

"If that fellow dares come here, he will be challenging the authority of the Misty Cloud Sect. Then he will not be allowed to run wild. Eliminate him and eradicate future trouble."

After thinking it over, Ge Ye and Yun Jun found it somewhat reasonable. Just then, someone sent a message: "Elder Yun Leng, the Sect Leader summons you."

Hearing this, Yun Leng frowned, then answered, "Understood. I'll go at once."

Ge Ye and the others asked, "Elder Yun Leng, after the Sect Leader retrieved the Purple Spirit Crystal for Yan Ran this time, she seems to have changed considerably."

Yun Jun beside him added, "Yes. Her demands of the sect's disciples and elders have never been so strict before. Did something happen?"

Yun Leng frowned as well and replied, "I'm not sure. After the Sect Leader returned, she issued these sect rules and then entered seclusion to help Yan Ran cultivate. I do not know why she has emerged from seclusion this time either."

Ge Ye still felt vaguely uneasy, though he did not know why. Yun Leng glanced at them and said, "Enough. Be more careful these days, keep yourselves in check, and do not cause any more trouble."
