That disciple's face immediately went as pale as paper.
Even his knees began to buckle!
Cold sweat instantly streamed down his forehead.
There was no other reason—Lin Feng's oppressive aura was simply too terrifying!
He was merely an ordinary Inner Disciple of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm.
How could he possibly withstand such terrifying pressure from Lin Feng?
Seeing the disciple in that state, Lin Feng froze for a moment before withdrawing his aura.
At the same time, he said softly, "Sorry, I just finished cultivating."
Because his Desolate Ancient Sacred Body had been operating at full force, the Sacred Body's domineering aura still lingered around him. Let alone a disciple of such low cultivation, even someone at the same level as Lin Feng would tremble all over upon meeting him and feel the urge to kneel in worship.
Hearing Lin Feng apologize, the disciple shook like chaff in a sieve. "N-no, Senior Brother Lin, what are you saying? I was the one who disturbed your cultivation. I deserved ten thousand deaths to begin with. It was only because you were magnanimous that you spared me..."
Lin Feng waved a hand. "No need to say such things. What did you come for?"
The Sea of Reincarnation Realm disciple nodded repeatedly. "Y-yes, I came because there is something. This letter was sent from the Lin Clan of the Great Yan Dynasty. The recipient named on it is you..."
At those words, Lin Feng's gaze sharpened.
A letter from the clan?
The Lin Clan of the Great Yan Dynasty was precisely Lin Feng's own clan.
He was even the Lin Clan's young lord, the kind who had gathered countless favors and affection upon himself.
The Lin Clan's patriarch was his father, while the many elders of the Lin Clan had all treated him with great care.
There had never been the sort of infighting seen in other clans, where people fought over the position of patriarch.
On the contrary, the Lin Clan was extremely united.
They had also paid an enormous price to send Lin Feng into the Limitless Sacred Land.
Lin Feng was quite grateful for all of this. It was a good clan.
Coming back to himself, Lin Feng took the letter into his hand and opened it.
He wondered what the clan had written to him about.
He opened the letter and read it.
Three seconds later, frost had already appeared between Lin Feng's brows.
Naturally, it was because of the contents of the letter.
The clan was facing a crisis. He had to return.
The letter explained it very clearly. A descendant of one of the Lin Clan's former enemy factions had become the successor of a powerful sect, reportedly holding an extremely high status. That sect even had Venerable Realm experts!
And now, that descendant of their enemy had returned to the Great Yan Dynasty with others in tow. As former enemies, the Lin Clan could neither sit nor stand in peace, so they had come to seek Lin Feng's aid.
They wanted him to see whether he could find a connection within the Limitless Sacred Land. The connection did not need to be important—an Outer Disciple of the Limitless Sacred Land would be enough.
After all, to ordinary sects, even an Outer Disciple was exceedingly prestigious!
That was because Outer Disciples were official disciples, unlike trash such as Registered Disciples, who did not even count as worthy of notice.
Yet the Lin Clan could never have imagined that Lin Feng had already become an Inner Disciple.
Moreover, he was renowned on the Inner Sect Prodigy Ranking, his standing carrying immense weight.
He had even caught the attention of a great figure beyond the Venerable Realm.
"The clan has run into some trouble. I should deal with it."
Lin Feng slowly rose to his feet, and terrifying power instantly erupted from him.
As an Inner Disciple, he needed to report it before leaving the mountain. This time, Lin Feng was traveling far away, so reporting it was even more necessary.
He arrived at the Internal Affairs Hall.
The moment the elder of the Internal Affairs Hall saw Lin Feng, his pupils contracted slightly. Then he said, "You've grown stronger again?!"
As soon as the words fell, the elder of the Internal Affairs Hall spoke in a rather helpless tone. "Did you challenge a cultivation cave again? Or did you challenge a disciple on the Prodigy Ranking?"
He had assumed Lin Feng had come to exchange for rewards.
After all, Lin Feng's strength had risen by so much again, becoming incomparably terrifying. With his current strength, could even the eightieth-ranked disciple on the Prodigy Ranking contend with him?
"Elder, I have come to leave the mountain," Lin Feng said.
"Oh?"
Hearing that he was not here to exchange rewards, the elder of the Internal Affairs Hall paused, then his expression turned solemn.
Recently, the relationship between the Limitless Sacred Land and the Ten Extremes Demon Sect had become exceedingly tense.
Venerable-Realm figures from both sides had already entered the fray, and the winds were only growing fiercer.
A genius disciple like Lin Feng could not be compared with ordinary disciples on the Prodigy Ranking.
In the elder of the Internal Affairs Hall's eyes, Lin Feng was guaranteed to become at least a core disciple!
Therefore, disciples of this kind had to be extremely cautious when leaving the mountain!
What was more, it seemed that the Limitless Sacred Land and the Ten Extremes Demon Sect were about to go to war.
"Must you leave?" the elder of the Internal Affairs Hall asked.
"My clan is in trouble. I have to return," Lin Feng said with a slight nod.
The elder of the Internal Affairs Hall pondered for a moment. Under such circumstances, there would be no reason not to let him return.
"Very well. This is your token for leaving the mountain. Take it." The elder of the Internal Affairs Hall handed it over.
Lin Feng nodded slightly, took the token, and headed straight down the mountain!
A moment later.
The elder of the Internal Affairs Hall felt that Lin Feng's departure was no small matter. His talent was exceptional, and he was one of the future seeds of the Limitless Sacred Land.
At once, he turned his gaze toward the Scripture Repository.
Boom!
With a movement of his thoughts.
A stream of divine sense was transmitted toward the Scripture Repository.
"Supreme Elder, Lin Feng is leaving the mountain. Should we send an elder to protect him?" the elder of the Internal Affairs Hall asked.
The elder of the Scripture Repository opened his eyes, and terrifying divine radiance burst forth from them. "If anything happens to his talent, it would be far too great a loss for the Limitless Sacred Land!"
"Send Elder Zhu. Have him follow behind Lin Feng and ensure his safety. Unless it is a critical moment, do not let him reveal himself!"
This elder of the Scripture Repository held an exceedingly lofty status. Even the elder of the Internal Affairs Hall treated him with utmost respect, addressing him as Supreme Elder. He was clearly a figure beyond even the Venerable Realm!
The elder of the Internal Affairs Hall accepted the order and then notified Elder Zhu.
Lin Feng happened to know that Elder Zhu. He was the one who had appeared among the Registered Disciples before.
However, Lin Feng did not know that at this moment.
After receiving the token for leaving the mountain, he headed all the way toward the Great Yan Dynasty!
That was his homeland, the place where he had grown up, filled with deeply etched memories.
At this moment, the atmosphere within the Great Yan Dynasty was incomparably grave.
In a small dynasty like the Great Yan Dynasty, even the strongest imperial family had a clan-protecting ancestor only at the Dao Condensation Realm.
Yet across the Great Yan Dynasty, Dao Condensation Realm experts were hidden figures who could not be seen in public!
On the surface, a Palace of Destiny Realm cultivator was already considered extremely formidable.
And now—
A Qilin Prodigy of the Xu Clan had returned from the Tyrant Blade Sect, bringing Tyrant Blade Sect disciples with him and acting with extreme arrogance.
The Xu Clan's Qilin Prodigy was deeply attached to the Xu Clan. The first thing he intended to do upon returning was unify the entire Great Yan Dynasty!
He wanted to overturn heaven and earth, replacing the Great Yan Dynasty's rightful rule with that of the Xu Clan.
And this Xu Clan was precisely the Lin Clan's former enemy...
Because of this, the atmosphere in the Lin Clan had become so heavy it seemed ready to drip water!
From top to bottom, everyone in the Lin Clan—including the patriarch, the elders, and even children of seven or eight years old—wore expressions of boundless worry!
