Chapter 165: Shoushan Copper
Too many treasures had appeared, finally exhausting the forbidden power in He Rongsheng's eyes. In the end, Lin Feng held the Sky Sword and swiftly charged toward He Rongsheng, aiming for his throat.
This strike signified the end of the battle.
"I did not fall to you," He Rongsheng said, a hint of unwillingness in his voice. If it weren't for Lin Feng possessing so many Ninth-Rank Swords, how could he have resisted his gaze?
"To the victor go the spoils; that is the reality," Lin Feng replied tersely, not feeling guilty for defeating He Rongsheng with an abundance of treasures. That day, when the Guan Family took him to Pei County to seek the Golden Spirit Seed, they had suppressed Old Master Lei with dozens of Ninth-Grade Treasures.
The Guan Family had won fairly.
Winning through an excess of treasures might seem like cheating, yet how many in this world could match Lin Feng and the Guan Family in possessing such extraordinary Divine Consciousness and soul power? Who could control so many swords at once and understand so many schools of Sword Technique?
Once there was only the Guan Family; now there was only Lin Feng.
In this world, one could find no second family like the Guan Family that possessed such an array of supreme Sword Techniques across the nine provinces.
"So it was the support of the Guan Family," Cold Rain said wisely. After pondering for a moment, she finally deduced the whole story. She had long sensed something unstable in Lin Feng's hands. She never imagined that Lin Feng would bring the Sword Pool from Solitary Moon City to participate in the Jiu Zhou Gathering.
"I have won," Lin Feng declared, clenching his fists tightly. This battle had drained his Vital Energy, exhausted his physical strength, and depleted his Divine Consciousness and soul power. It had been a hard-fought victory. Lin Feng had used all his means.
He had to admit, the Eye of Destiny was indeed an ancient divine body—terrifyingly powerful.
Lin Feng finally secured first place in the Martial Examination. With his mid-stage Foundation in Fate Realization, achieving three firsts was something that had never happened at the Jiuzhou Gathering Conference before.
This dark horse had created a miracle.
Lin Feng wanted to roar loudly. He had finally embarked on the path of the strong. He could tell Master Da, "I did it." He could express his gratitude to his second senior brother, who had secretly supported him, saying, "Thank you."
"Now, I am also one of the Divine Ruins Disciples."
Lin Feng felt proud in his heart but dared not voice these thoughts. Everything he possessed now was no longer something he feared losing. It truly belonged to him at this moment.
"In this round, Solitary Moon City Lin Feng wins."
As the elder from Azure Cloud Sect announced weakly, the disciples below erupted into cheers. The dark horse's comeback to claim first place was truly exhilarating.
Thunderous applause erupted, all for Lin Feng.
The Martial Emperor quietly looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Cold Rain, is he the one you once recommended to me?"
"Reporting to the Martial Emperor, it is indeed this person," Cold Rain replied.
"Good eye. Whatever the conditions, make sure he stays," the Martial Emperor said in a calm tone that exuded an irresistible authority.
"Yes."
Cold Rain gazed at Lin Feng below. Although he had faith in him, Lin Feng's performance exceeded his expectations. Now, he was part of the Guan Family. To recruit Lin Feng, they would have to meet with the Guan Family.
"This person comes from the Demon Clan. He is the First Demon Disciple."
As everyone cheered, a loud voice rang out. They turned to see it was an elder from Yangzhou Liuyun Sect speaking. An elder from Flowing Cloud Sect pointed at Lin Feng and said, "This person killed my Flowing Cloud Sect's Son of the Sect Leader, Sima Shangshan, and even killed Sima Shangshan's guardian elder. He is from the Demon Clan. We cannot let him go today."
Throughout the ages, at the Jiuzhou Gathering Conference, disciples of the Demon Race have always infiltrated under assumed names. Everyone was tacitly aware of this. However, today was different. If a disciple of the Demon Race were to commit murder in Gaojing, it would be an entirely different matter.
The Enforcer Elder of the Azure Cloud Sect felt unsettled after his own disciple's unexpected defeat. Now that he learned Lin Feng was a member of the Demon Race and the First Demon Disciple, how could he let this go?
The Elder Steward of the Qingyun Sect looked at Lin Feng and said in a deep voice, "You are of the Demon Race. Why did you come to our human gathering at Jiuzhou to kill?"
Lin Feng glanced at the elder from the Flowing Cloud Sect and then at the hostile gazes from everyone present. Unable to contain himself, he burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at? Speak honestly!" the Enforcer Elder of the Azure Cloud Sect reprimanded.
"Am I of the Demon Race? Am I the First Demon Disciple? That's utter nonsense. Is this old fool here one as well? What evidence do you have? I have received my master's true teachings and brought with me the town-protecting treasure Sword Pool from Solitary Moon City. If I were of the Demon Race, would my master give me these things?" Lin Feng's words were sharp and resonant.
The Enforcer Elder of the Azure Cloud Sect pondered for a moment before looking at the elder from the Flowing Cloud Sect and asking, "Do you have any evidence?"
The elder from the Flowing Cloud Sect replied, "I have investigated everything. Lin Feng does exist. However, the real Lin Feng has already been killed by him. He is an imposter."
"And where is your evidence?" the Enforcer Elder pressed again.
At that moment, Elder Lin from Solitary Moon City flew into the Arena. The guards stood before Lin Feng and declared, "There is reason to believe that our Lone Moon Sect Disciple is of the Demon Race. Today, if anyone dares to harm a single hair on Lin Feng, I will fight them."
Then, Elder Lin leaned close to Lin Feng and whispered, "There are demons secretly causing trouble today; there may be trouble ahead. Later, take Lin Miaomiao and escape amidst the chaos."
"Understood."
Lin Feng expressed his gratitude. He hadn't expected this seemingly indifferent Elder Lin to protect him so fiercely in a critical moment, even willing to stand against everyone else. He felt a surge of emotion.
"Old thief Lin, how dare you protect someone from the Demon Race! You can't tell good from bad! I will deal with you and avenge our Flowing Cloud Sect's fallen Son of the Sect Leader."
With that, the elder from Flowing Cloud Sect leaped into the Arena. The two opened up an extraordinary scene as they prepared for battle in the Master Realm.
The Elder Steward of Qingyun Sect and the Law Elder immediately took action, enhancing the defensive array above the Arena to its strongest level, to prevent any harm from befalling the Azure Cloud Sect's temple.
Cold Rain sensed something unusual and whispered, "Martial Emperor, I feel that someone is secretly causing trouble today. We should return early."
The Martial Emperor looked at the two fighting above the Arena and said sternly, "He Zhangjiao, what should we do if someone tries to assassinate me on your territory?"
Helan Mountain replied proudly, "Even if the Demon Lord himself came, he wouldn't be able to take a single hair from the Martial Emperor in front of me. Let alone these insignificant minions."
"Cold Rain, did you hear that? He Zhangjiao has made a promise; are you still worried?" the Martial Emperor asked with a smile.
Cold Rain responded, "Master's cultivation is profound; there will naturally be no issues."
"Then let us enjoy the show."
Above the Arena, the elder from Flowing Cloud Sect gained the upper hand, forcing Elder Lin of Solitary Moon City into a retreat. Eventually, Elder Lin activated his Demonic Blood, revealing a unique and terrifying manifestation belonging to the demon race.
An Ancient Beast named Shoulder Wu appeared, exuding immense power.
"Is it from the demon race?"
"Solitary Moon City's Elder Lin is actually a Demon General."
Some elders from various sects gasped in shock.
Elder Lin turned to Lin Feng and shouted, "The matter has been exposed; hurry and leave."
At this declaration, everyone was in an uproar. They never expected that Lin Feng was truly a Cultist.
Lin Feng stood frozen in place, realizing that even if he jumped into the Yellow River today, he could not clear his name. Moreover, his identity felt so insignificant in front of all these elders.
"Dammit, this is a trap. I've been set up."
Lin Feng cursed loudly and immediately turned his gaze toward Lin Miaomiao in the crowd, frantically shaking his head to signal her to leave quickly.
The fierce battle between the two elders continued. Their eyes locked together, and then, as if premeditated, they struck at Lin Feng's storage bag.
Boom...
With the sound of an explosion, Lin Feng's storage bag shattered.
The Blood Devouring Cauldron and Spirit Monkey appeared before everyone. The Spirit Monkey was hit hard, rolling on the ground for a few moments before spitting out blood. Lin Feng rushed over with all his might and picked up the weak Spirit Monkey.
A chilling aura enveloped Lin Feng. He glared at the two men, wishing he could tear them apart.
So that's how it is. They set me up. First, they revealed that I am of the demon race, and then they forced my Blood Devouring Cauldron into the open. Shoushan Copper is a rare material for forging Imperial Artifacts, hard to find in this world. Even someone like the Qingyun Sect Leader would covet it greatly.
With Shoushan Copper now revealed, even if I am not of the demon race, those people will surely think I am one, eager to kill and plunder.
"Shoushan Copper." On the scene, the Qingyun Sect Leader was the first to recognize this treasure. Few could identify it.
Strangely enough, Shoushan Copper had just appeared. Powerful figures from Gaojing were rushing over as if they had already received news that today an Imperial Artifact's material was making its debut.
The Divine General Manor's Sovereign had arrived.
The Martial Emperor looked at Shoushan Copper, his heart racing as well.
Only those who have reached the Sovereign level in cultivation understand how precious Imperial Artifact materials are—rare in this world and hard to come by. The Qingyun Sect Leader, the Sovereign of Divine General Manor, and the Martial Emperor—all three held no such precious materials in their hands.
The Azure Cloud Sect Enforcer Elder, having received a hint from the Sovereign, declared loudly, "Lin Feng is a Cultist of the Demon Clan, who has slain our human heroes in Gaojing. As the host of the Jiu Zhou Gathering, we of the Azure Cloud Sect will capture this person and investigate his accomplices."
The head of the Divine General Manor also received a hint from the Sovereign and immediately spoke up, "Our Divine General Manor presides over the Jiu Zhou Gathering Examination. We are also considered half hosts of the Jiu Zhou Gathering. We will capture the Cultist and thoroughly investigate the Demon Clan's conspiracy. The Divine General Manor is willing to assist."
Cold Rain, having similarly received a hint from the Martial Emperor, said, "This is Gaojing. I am the Governor of Gaojing; it would be best if this person is handed over to me."
The presence of Shoushan Copper had drawn the attention of the giants of Gaojing. No one was willing to back down; everyone wanted to seize it. A massive conspiracy began to brew.
These top-tier powerhouses were not focused on the two elders battling in the Arena but were all fixated on the Shoushan Copper in Lin Feng's hands.
Lin Feng swung his long arm and tossed the Spirit Monkey to Lin Miaomiao. Before anyone could realize the origins of the Spirit Monkey, he quickly stashed it away. Lin Feng looked at the Qingyun Sect Leader, then at the Martial Emperor and the Sovereign of Divine General Manor, noticing the intense gleam in their eyes.
In today's situation, Lin Feng suddenly felt how insignificant he was. Just a bait for others to exploit. Faced with such top-tier powerhouses coveting him, what could he do to break free and survive?
Even if his master, Sword Saint, were to come personally, could he withstand this situation? (To be continued...)
