The King of Urban Mercenaries

"Besides, I’m no longer any kind of Sect Leader. I’m just an ordinary cultivator from the Lower Realm now, the same as you." Lin Fei finished speaking and glanced at his senior brother Leng Daoqiu.

"Senior Brother, thank you. Now, do you want to go watch a show? Anyway, you’ve got nothing to do right now, do you?" Lin Fei looked at Leng Daoqiu with a smile.

Leng Daoqiu nodded. He himself wasn’t at ease with Lin Fei’s decision, so he decided to go along with Lin Fei and take a look. Anyway, like Lin Fei said, he didn’t have anything else to do right now. Might as well go together; that way he’d feel a lot more at ease.

Just like that, their group headed toward the Sky Palace those people from the Upper Realm had built.

The Ancient Martial Artists behind Lin Fei added up to only about a hundred in total, but after this baptism of fire, there probably wouldn’t be many left.

Lin Fei looked at the people behind him. Many of them were still very young, but after this battle, they would become truly mature people.

On the way, Lin Fei directly took all the Arrays in his mind—those he had obtained in the Upper Realm—and various large-scale cooperative formations, and told them to his people, branding them into their minds. Lin Fei even gave them several ways to modify a single grand array, directly transmitting them over so they would etch them deeply into their hearts.

According to the variations of the Arrays, Lin Fei had them each lock down one opponent. Some formations were three-person switching arrays, some were two-person cooperative ones, and at most there were five-person cooperative arrays. Then they would all gang up to attack a single person from the Upper Realm. Doing it this way was a very good solution, because many of them weren’t even close to the peak of the Ancient Martial realm, so they could only rely on Arrays.

As for where Lin Fei got those Arrays?

It was just like the old days in the War of Resistance: we’ve got no guns, we’ve got no cannons—so let the enemy make them for us!

Everything Lin Fei had now, all the knowledge in his mind, had been obtained from the Book Pavilion at Qianhuang Peak. If they knew, they’d probably die from rage—Lin Fei was actually using their own stuff to beat them. But it had to be said, Lin Fei really knew how to learn and apply things flexibly.

Although Lin Fei hadn’t cultivated at Qianhuang Peak for long, he knew that everyone in there considered themselves a genius. Each person’s sense of self was overwhelmingly strong, so they would never cooperate with others to cultivate these kinds of cooperative Arrays.

Therefore, this was exactly what Lin Fei valued. He was preparing to give them a surprise, to let them know that the saying "the more people, the greater the strength" wasn’t just empty talk.

Soon, the mighty group of more than a hundred arrived at the central region of Mo Country. A gigantic suspended structure had already appeared in the sky above. The area below had already been directly turned into a military restricted zone by the state; after all, they couldn’t allow people from the Lower Realm to provoke those people from the Upper Realm.

There was also the fact that, in order to protect those people of the Lower Realm, they had no choice but to make them leave their hometowns.

This was also a last resort.

What Lin Fei could do now was liberate their homeland, liberate the Lower Realm he belonged to. Otherwise, once the Sky Castle was fully built, the outcome would be obvious. The more people came down from the Upper Realm, the more dangerous the Lower Realm would become!

By then, the guests taking over the host’s seat wouldn’t just be possible—it would be the general trend, already close to reality. After all, people of the Lower Realm had always felt that those from the Upper Realm were powerful, while the people of the Upper Realm treated those from the Lower Realm like ants. The final result would be that the Lower Realm would end up completely under the Upper Realm’s control.

The people of the Upper Realm would be able to do whatever they wanted in the Lower Realm, just like the old colonies of the past, doing whatever they pleased.

The Murong Family’s affair was a living example. The Murong Family from the Upper Realm came down to the Lower Realm and threw their weight around, practically becoming the absolute rulers of the Lower Realm. If they wanted women to play with, they directly grabbed Lower Realm women, and they had to be pure maidens—no non-virgins allowed. It was said that in a single day, they could ruin many, and then toss them away.

They left countless shadows in the hearts of women of the Lower Realm. Lin Fei regretted not wiping them out earlier. Although he did finally destroy them, Lin Fei also knew that this hadn’t improved the situation much, because people coming down from the Upper Realm were simply endless, inexhaustible.

If this kind of thing wasn’t stopped, the Murong Family’s tragedy would be repeated again and again. In the end, it would still be the people of the Lower Realm who got hurt.

So Lin Fei had to change this situation.

Soon, the group arrived at the Sky Castle. Lin Fei did not have them gather together, because the people from the Upper Realm who came down to the Lower Realm had many treasures and such on them.

They might not have overwhelming strength, but their treasures didn’t seem to be much restricted. Although treasures had realm requirements, that still couldn’t stop them from harming people of the Lower Realm.

At this moment, the Sky Castle also fell into panic. Almost everyone who had come down from the Upper Realm was in the Sky Castle, but that wasn’t the important part. The important part was that they were now very furious—people from the Lower Realm had actually come here to cause trouble for them?

Although they still weren’t sure what the Lower Realm group’s goal was, anyone with eyes could see that it definitely wasn’t anything good. Otherwise, how could so many people have come, and all in full battle stance?

"People of the Lower Realm, what do you think you’re doing?!"

At this moment, the one in charge of the Sky Castle in the Lower Realm was an Elder from Qianhuang Peak. His strength was extremely powerful; he had the cultivation of the True Body Realm. Him coming here was actually very risky, because the stronger your cultivation, the stronger the suppression you suffered in the Lower Realm. It was possible that someone at Emperor-level, upon descending to the Lower Realm, wouldn’t even be able to match a ninth-level Ancient Martial expert.

But they still took the risk to come, because the people who had come down to the Lower Realm were still numerous, and there were plenty who could protect them.

So this Elder also came!

"What are we doing? Let me ask you—what did you come here for?" Lin Fei questioned that middle-aged man. He should be someone with extremely powerful strength. Otherwise, how could it be that under Lin Fei’s perception, his cultivation looked like nothing more than around seventh or eighth level Ancient Martial? So Lin Fei was sure that the other party definitely had the strength of the True Body Realm or above. Otherwise, he couldn’t be suffering such heavy suppression.

"You don’t understand why we came here? We’re here to protect the people of the Lower Realm from harm, and at the same time let the people of the Lower Realm live more peacefully, and also to prevent more people from the Upper Realm from coming down." That Elder’s name was Zhang Luo. He spoke up, sounding utterly righteous.

Lin Fei didn’t believe that crap at all. He smiled. "All right then, let me ask you this—you know who I am, don’t you?"

"Lin Fei, reputed to be the strongest person in the Lower Realm. I’ve heard of you, and I’ve seen your portrait," Zhang Luo said. After all, when he came down to the Lower Realm, he had to understand the situation here. The key figures, such as Lin Fei and Leng Daoqiu, were all subjects of their study, because their strength was great, so they were taken even more seriously by those in the Upper Realm!
