Chapter 1927 - 1932: Grudges and Vendettas
The Sect Master of Qianhuang Peak finally made a move!
The Sect Master’s techniques are incredibly powerful, and being an Emperor-level figure, when he acted, Hou Qitian immediately fled, not daring to be caught by him. If he were caught, who knows what the outcome would be.
But one thing is certain, if caught, it would definitely not end well!
So after Hou Qitian escaped, he went to Lin Fei’s side, looking at the Sect Master of Qianhuang Peak.
"Aotian, step back, you are not their opponent." The Sect Master of Qianhuang Peak said, making the already injured Dugu Aotian even more resentful. He didn’t expect Lin Fei to have so many powerful experts. Since that’s the case, he had nothing more to say.
At this moment, Lin Fei looked at the Sect Master of Qianhuang Peak and asked, "Sect Master, do you really intend to attack me?"
"Do I have any reason not to attack you?" The Sect Master said with a cold smile.
Lin Fei’s brows furrowed, "Then do you have another reason? A real reason. I don’t want it to be under some grandiose excuse of yours." Lin Fei knew that the other party was just using the excuse of him killing their disciple. There must be some other reason.
"I don’t need another reason to kill you. Why waste time? Today, you are destined to die!" The Sect Master of Qianhuang Peak didn’t want to waste time with Lin Fei and was ready to make a move.
At this moment, Lin Fei turned to the middle-aged man beside Miss Qing and said, "Senior, could you uphold justice for me?"
Hearing Lin Fei’s words, everyone looked at the middle-aged man. The man looked at Lin Fei and said, "You want me to save you?"
Lin Fei nodded, "Compared to today’s events, you, Senior, should have seen it clearly. It wasn’t my fault. I hope you can help me, and I, Lin Fei, will surely be grateful!"
Everyone looked at Miss Qing’s father. It seemed that everyone was waiting to see if Miss Qing’s father would indeed save Lin Fei. At the same time, Miss Qing also spoke up, "Father, why don’t you save him?"
However, Miss Qing’s father shook his head, leaving everyone disappointed. They originally wanted to see what abilities and deep cultivation this middle-aged man had, but it seemed he had no intention of saving Lin Fei. It appeared Lin Fei was doomed today.
"Senior, why do you choose to watch me die without offering assistance?" Lin Fei asked. The other party clearly had the power to save, but was unwilling to do so, which puzzled him greatly.
"It’s not that I won’t save you, but the one to save you is not me, but someone else." Miss Qing’s father said.
Lin Fei and the crowd, even the Sect Master of Qianhuang Peak, furrowed their brows. Lin Fei didn’t understand—who? Who could save him?
"Senior, could you enlighten me? I truly don’t know how to escape danger." Lin Fei really couldn’t understand the words of these important figures, but he knew his own insight wasn’t strong enough. Otherwise, he would surely know what they meant.
At this moment, Miss Qing also asked, "Father, what do you mean? Why can’t we understand? Is there someone else here?"
Miss Qing’s father laughed and patted her head, saying, "Kind sir, since you’ve come, do you really intend to just watch and not assist?"
"Since I’m here, I certainly won’t watch and do nothing." A voice rang out, and a figure suddenly appeared in midair above the arena.
The crowd gasped in surprise, looking upwards. They found that few people had seen this person before, which was quite strange.
"Master?!" Wang Qing exclaimed. Who was this person? It was none other than Dugu Aotian’s father, Lin Fei’s former master, Dugu Xiaoqi!
Dugu Xiaoqi still looked as young as ever, as if hundreds of years hadn’t left any trace on him. Lin Fei never would have expected Dugu Xiaoqi to appear at this moment. It was truly unexpected for him.
But this was good; this way, Lin Fei wouldn’t have to die. Not having to die made Lin Fei happy, and being happy made him relieved.
"Lin Fei, I never expected you’d still remember me." Dugu Xiaoqi appeared in front of Lin Fei the next moment, looking at him with surprise at how quickly his strength had grown. Indeed, he was a Demon Body.
"Of course, a disciple remembers his master. But, Master, it’s been a century since you left. I never thought I’d finally see you again." Lin Fei said.
This left the crowd a bit stunned. How could Lin Fei have a master, and such a powerful one at that?
They had never heard of this before!
"Dugu Xiaoqi, are you intending to get involved in this matter?" The Sect Master of Qianhuang Peak asked.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Xiaoqi chuckled and said, "Senior Brother, if you have any grievances, you should seek out the one responsible. But as for him, he is my disciple, and I can’t just watch him be sacrificed in vain." Dugu Xiaoqi’s words were friendly, but it was unclear if they could sway the Sect Master of Qianhuang Peak.
"Enough with the nonsense. I must take his life, and don’t forget, he almost killed your son just now. Are you really going to ignore that?" The Sect Master of Qianhuang Peak said, not believing that Dugu Xiaoqi wouldn’t care about these things.
Dugu Xiaoqi looked at Dugu Aotian and said, "Aotian is just immature, and the recent incident was your doing, wasn’t it? But unfortunately, I cannot just watch Lin Fei die like this."
The Sect Master’s expression grew darker. He never expected Dugu Xiaoqi to be so unyielding, leaving him no opportunity. Since that was the case...
"If you want to oppose me, then I’ll defeat you first before killing him!" The Sect Master of Qianhuang Peak seemed determined to kill Lin Fei.
Lin Fei was quite perplexed. He didn’t understand what he could have done to offend the Sect Master of Qianhuang Peak. Could it really be because he killed a disciple of Qianhuang Peak? Lin Fei didn’t believe that was the reason.
"Master, why is this the case? Why does he hold such a grudge against me?" Lin Fei found it difficult to comprehend.
"You might not know this, but it actually has nothing to do with you. It’s because the person who gave you this body had a grudge with my Senior Brother. That person harmed his lover, which is why he is so angry." Dugu Xiaoqi explained.
Lin Fei was stunned for a moment and then thought to himself, the person who gave him this body? It couldn’t be his parents, as they were long deceased. The most likely candidate was...
"Demon Lord Hua Xian?!" Lin Fei exclaimed. Apart from Demon Lord Hua Xian, Lin Fei couldn’t think of anyone else. After all, it was Demon Lord Hua Xian who rebuilt her body, wasn’t it? Lin Fei really didn’t know anyone else.
