Chapter 1871 - 1876: Divine Sword Thunder
"Nothing happened? Then why the commotion just now?" Chen Qingyun asked.
Indeed, the recent disturbance had startled many from Qingyun Mountain. Such a peaceful place was suddenly disrupted, and they were all cultivators. Ordinary people might not notice the changes beneath, but their spiritual power was very sensitive and detected the unusual occurrence swiftly.
So they were all surprised, waking one after another, and Lin Fei was already brought to the main hall.
In the main hall, Sect Leader Li Yunfeng spoke, "Lin Fei, you seem quite restless coming here."
Lin Fei smiled, "Curiosity got the better of me, disturbed the Sect Leader’s peace, I ask for forgiveness."
"Forgiveness isn’t necessary. Share your purpose instead," Li Yunfeng asked.
Lin Fei shook his head, "I have no purpose, only curiosity. If you don’t believe, you might ask the Water Qilin below, he can vouch for me."
At this moment, Lin Fei knew all his words were powerless. The most important thing was to find someone from their own camp to testify, and the Water Qilin was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Hearing Lin Fei’s words, Li Yunfeng looked at him curiously and asked, "Are you sure the Water Qilin will explain this for you?"
Lin Fei nodded, "I think it should, at least I was indeed just curious and did nothing else."
Li Yunfeng nodded and stood up, but just after taking a few steps, the pond suddenly stirred. The Water Qilin burst out of the pond, grew to the size of a horse, came to the hall, and said, "Sect Leader, what he says is true. Let him leave."
After speaking, the Water Qilin returned to the pond again, Li Yunfeng looked even more amazed at Lin Fei, then nodded, "Since the Water Qilin has explained for you, you may leave."
"Thank you, Sect Leader. By the way, Qingyun Elder, please tell Master Tian Yi for me that I’m leaving now, there are urgent matters to attend to."
Lin Fei did not want to linger. After all, this matter was extraordinary.
"Fine, you may go," Chen Qingyun responded after which Lin Fei was allowed to leave the hall.
"Third Junior Brother, what do you think of this event?" Li Yunfeng asked.
Chen Qingyun chuckled, "Since the Water Qilin has spoken, I think we can treat this as if nothing happened."
Li Yunfeng laughed, "Haha, well said, Junior Brother!"
Lin Fei left Qingyun Mountain, swiftly flying away in the air and landing a great distance from the mountain.
"Come out!"
Lin Fei shouted, there wasn’t anyone around, yet he called out, still no response followed.
"What’s the point? Following me from Qingyun Mountain, come out now, what’s your intent?" Lin Fei asked.
Finally, someone appeared, a masked person in black clothing.
"Who are you?" Lin Fei asked, then answered his own question, "Must be an elder from Qingyun Mountain, right?"
Upon hearing this, a ripple passed through the person’s eyes, then a deep voice came, "Share your experience within the pond, and I’ll spare your life!"
"Haha, is this all you wish to know?"
"Exactly!"
"Why not go down yourself and see? There’s nothing, just a pond of stagnant water," Lin Fei replied.
Having heard this, the person’s brow furrowed, asking, "You better speak honestly, or I’ll send you away now!"
"No, better not send me, I don’t want to leave this world yet. If you want to know, simply reveal your identity, then I might consider sharing."
His words immediately angered the masked person, who coldly threatened, "Courting death!"
They charged at Lin Fei, whose opponent’s strength should be from the True Body Realm, a daunting realm which made Lin Fei wary.
Swoosh!
The speed was swift, in an instant leaving Lin Fei’s sight and arriving where Lin Fei had stood.
"Quite fast?!" The masked person was surprised, seeing a flash of light as Lin Fei had already departed from his original spot and reappeared in the distant mountains.
"What’s wrong? Witnessing such speed, do you still wish to keep me?" Lin Fei asked.
Hearing this, the masked person snorted coldly, drawing a sword, and shouted, "Divine Sword Thunder Protection Technique!"
Rumble!
Dark clouds gathered above Lin Fei’s head, visible from afar as clouds slowly converged, eventually surrounding the mountain top where Lin Fei stood, with lightning flickering within the dark clouds.
"What kind of move is this? Also from Qingyun Mountain?" Lin Fei was surprised, not expecting such an attack from his opponent. It seemed the opponent was indeed from the high ranks of Qingyun Mountain, yet whose directive led to this remains unknown, perhaps it’s driven by curiosity.
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, a lightning bolt descended towards Lin Fei, striking his head directly.
Lin Fei swiftly used the Godspeed Talisman, disappearing from his spot, reappearing away from the bolt, yet discovered a perimeter brimming with lightning particles, any movement would disturb them, pulling down the sky’s lightning to crash upon him.
Lin Fei could only dodge continuously, yet this was not a solution. No matter how fast he was, the lightning kept up, and soon, an intricate electric web wrapped the mountain.
It was like an array of dazzling lightning forming a dense network, leaving Lin Fei feeling trapped.
But despite this, Lin Fei managed to face it unrelentingly, taking no damage, his physique was simply too formidable!
"Bring more ferocity!"
Suddenly, Lin Fei halted, then shouted at the sky, instantly all the lightning seemed to rage, gathering towards Lin Fei.
All the lightning! The electric currents amassed, concentrating into a single point, and then...
Boom!!
A white flash, resembling daylight, appeared before them, visible even from afar in Qingyun Mountain.
Chen Qingyun stood on the mountainside of Qingyun Mountain, looking at the distant sight akin to a shining star, light scattering.
"This is the Sect’s Divine Sword Thunder Technique. Seems some old fellow acted, too reckless! Really shouldn’t have!"
Chen Qingyun couldn’t help but shake his head, voicing strong disapproval for such actions. After all, if the old Qilin doesn’t allow something to be known, perhaps it’s better left unknown...
