Chapter 097：Snow Moon Imperial City

Duan Tianlang's head was once again placed on the Death and Life Platform. 

All the soldiers were full of anxiety in their eyes, yet they had no choice but to submit to their general. 

The general is too loyal and chivalrous. Even for an ordinary soldier, he would charge into battle on the battlefield. How much more so this time when the sect was wiped out! 

Godsman Liu Canglan did not kneel before Heaven or Earth. Even when he saw the Snow Moon King, his spine remained straight and unbent in the slightest. But at this moment, Liu Canglan had already made two prostrations. 

"The Sect bestowed upon me everything, but now, the Sect has perished because of me. How can I have the face to regain this body of cultivation?" 

Liu Canglan said, raising his right hand high, causing the crowd to tremble with fear and shout in unison: "General!" 

A torrential momentum burst forth. The silver hair on Liu Canglan's head fluttered. The gazes of all the soldiers turned red and they fixed their eyes intently on Liu Canglan. In that instant, the space around them became deathly silent. 

"Fool." 

A cold and indifferent voice suddenly rang out, sounding particularly harsh in the silent space and clearly reaching everyone's ears, causing the gazes of the crowd to freeze. 

A coward? If Lord Liu Canglan were a coward, then who else in the world would not be a coward? He is the one who shoots arrows with such precision that even the gods are amazed. He is the one who can shoot arrows 

"Since the sect perished because of you, you are the eternal criminal of the sect. Why don't you just end your life? Why do you still cling to your cowardly life?" 

Under the intense and indignant gazes of the crowd, Lin Feng spoke again. Surprisingly, he actually persuaded Liu Canglan... to commit suicide! 

"Whew..." 

At this moment, countless outbursts of rage-filled power descended upon Lin Feng. Lin Feng felt as if countless lethal energies were rushing towards him. 

The Crimson Blood Cavalry, none of them are not battle-hardened warriors. Their hands are stained with blood. When all the煞气 on their bodies enveloped Lin Feng, it immediately made Lin Feng feel as if he were in a sea of bones and blood, driving him crazy. This煞气 was too intense. Only a truly blood-stained army could possess such煞气. 

Lin Feng was almost suffocated by the pressure, but he still stood there calmly, looking at Liu Canglan on the stage of life and death. 

"If you die, then Duan Tianlao's aim will be achieved. No one else will be implicated. Moreover, you won't have to fear or evade anymore. It will all be over once and for all." 

Lin Feng's words sent a wave of anger surging through everyone's hearts. However, Liu Canglan turned his gaze away from them and lifted his head, looking at Lin Feng standing on the cliff above. 

"If you die, your daughter Liu Fei will be able to marry into the Duan family and enjoy a prosperous life. You won't have to worry about her anymore." 

Lin Feng's words were like a sharp sword, piercing into Liu Canglan's heart. How could his daughter, Liu Fei, be married into the Duan family? 

"If you die, perhaps the many deceased members of Yunhai Sect will finally find peace. For they know that they died in vain and there is no need to hold any more hopes." 

Each sharp word was so powerful that it was truly shocking. Liu Canglan closed his eyes. His hand finally dropped slowly. 

Yes, if he were to give in to his own downfall, wouldn't he be fulfilling the destiny of Duan Tianlang? What about Feifei? Who would be able to avenge the hatred of the entire Yunhai Sect being wiped out? 

When they saw Liu Canglan's hand lowered, the gazes of the soldiers towards Lin Feng had already lost their anger and turned into gratitude. They understood that Lin Feng deliberately used sarcastic remarks to provoke Liu Canglan, which was why Liu Canglan gave up the idea of stripping him of his cultivation. 

Fortunately, there was Lin Feng. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. 

However, Lin Feng's words were indeed very powerful. They were like a sharp sword, each time piercing right to the core. 

"Turn to your general and say, 'It's not his fault. It was the old man, North. He was always thinking of him till his dying day. And the old lady, she forgave him too.' " 

Lin Feng didn't look at Liu Canglan any more. He walked up to a non-commissioned officer beside him and whispered, "The moment has come." Then he vanished in a puff of smoke. 

After Lin Feng left, it was a long time before Liu Canglan opened his eyes. His gaze was filled with sharp brilliance, which made everyone rejoice. Their general was back. 

"Pass my order. Make this canyon a cemetery and bury the corpses of all the members of Yunhai Sect here." 

Liu Canglan spoke calmly and began to give orders. 

"Furthermore, starting from today, the Cloud Sea Sect will be closed. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter. Anyone who forcibly breaches the barrier will be killed without mercy." 

A sense of desolation and solemnity spread throughout the space, but the soldiers were all smiling and shouting loudly: "In accordance with the military order." 

Liu Canglan wore an expressionless face. As he took a step forward, he immediately leaped directly onto the canyon floor. His gaze was fixed on the distant horizon, as if he were trying to spot Lin Feng's figure. 

"General." 

At this moment, a non-commissioned officer stepped forward and came to stand in front of Liu Canglan. 

"What's the matter?" asked Liu Canglan. 

"General, just now that man left, before he did, he asked me to convey to you that Yunhai Sect doesn't blame you, General. Elder Bei, before his death, had been constantly thinking of you and your wife. And, he forgave you." 

Liu Canglan shuddered all over and stood there, stunned. 

Looking up, gazing at the sky, this extremely tenacious man, in his resolute gaze, there was a faint glimmer of tears flickering. 

"I am unworthy as a disciple." 

Liu Canglan let out a long breath. As she lowered her head, her eyes regained that sharpness. Looking at the distant road, she took a step forward and vanished into a blur of shadows. 

"Lin Feng!" 

Liu Canglan had never met Lin Feng before. He only heard this name while listening to Liu Fei's account. At that time, he was thinking, what kind of young man could be worth the entire Yunhai Sect's devotion to save him, even at the cost of their own lives? 

At this moment, Liu Canglan felt that he was beginning to understand something. It was just a casual encounter. He had only glanced at Lin Feng a few times, but this boy was definitely no ordinary person. 

If Lin Feng is so ordinary, how could he utter such sharp words? 

If Lin Feng was ordinary, a sixteen-year-old boy, being overwhelmed by the aura of the soldiers of the Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry, how could he face it so calmly? Even his gaze and expression showed no sign of change. 

If Lin Feng was ordinary, he wouldn't have left with just a few words and then vanished without a trace. Instead, he would have chosen to follow him. After all, nowadays, people like Duan Tianlao and others all want Lin Feng's life. Only by staying by his side can one be the safest. 

Lin Feng didn't. Even though Elder Bei had asked him to go and seek out Liu Canglan, after meeting Liu Canglan, he still chose to leave. Growing up under the protection of others, when would he be able to possess the overwhelming power to turn the world upside down? 

Lin Feng knew very well that although the Snow Moon Royal Family was the most powerful in the Snow Moon Kingdom, when it came to the entire Nine Heavens Continent, they were nothing compared to others. Even the title of "King" held by the monarch of the Snow Moon Kingdom was not truly deserved. 

A true martial arts emperor possesses the power to turn the tides of war and upset the balance of nature. Such a person, when enraged, can lay waste to millions of lives and effortlessly destroy a Snow Moon. 

Lin Feng, he still has a long way to go. 

At this moment, Lin Feng and Meng Qing were standing on a huge rock, watching the figure of Liu Canglan speeding down the mountain from afar along the main road. 

"Let's go." Lin Feng and Meng Qing jumped off the boulder and walked along the path, deliberately avoiding Liu Canglan. 

"Are you asking me a lot of questions?" 

Lin Feng turned to Mengqing and whispered, "Look at me." 

"If you don't say anything, I won't ask." Dreamqing's reply was still so indifferent. It seemed that her state of mind never fluctuated. Lin Feng wondered what kind of charm it would be if Dreamqing smiled occasionally. 

"My mother said that when men are in a mood of sadness, keeping silent is the best way!" 

It seemed that she had thought of something. Mengqing added another sentence. Her gaze passed through the veil and looked at Lin Feng, as if she wanted to get verification from Lin Feng's mouth whether her mother's words were correct. 

"Your knowledge of the outside world is all derived from what your mother has told you?" 

"Um." Mengqing nodded. 

"Did your mother ever tell you anything about men?" Lin Feng asked again. To this world, Mengqing was like the self he was when he made the time-traveling journey. She was completely unknown to him. However, he himself had memories of two lifetimes, and Mengqing's memories, perhaps, were only those of the Black Wind Ridge. 

"My mother also said that none of the men are good fellows," Mengqing replied. 

"..." Several dark lines appeared on Lin Feng's forehead. He looked at Meng Qing with an odd expression. This sounded so familiar. Could it be that Meng Qing's mother had to retire to the heartland of Hekongling because she was hurt by love? 

"The way those men looked at me was really not a good sign. But you... you seem quite decent. You're not as bad as Mother said you were." 

Mengqing's body moved gracefully and beautifully for a moment, as if she was somewhat puzzled. Regarding the outside world, she was indeed full of curiosity. Otherwise, she wouldn't have followed Lin Feng and sneaked out secretly. 

Lin Feng smiled. To receive a compliment from a beautiful woman was indeed something that made him happy. 

"Then what else? What did your mother tell you?" 

"He also told me a lot of things." Mengqing nodded, looking at Lin Feng and said, "But, I won't tell you." 

"..."

Xue Yue City, the Imperial City of the Kingdom of Xue Yue, is vast and boundless, with an imposing and magnificent appearance. 

In this single city alone, there are several hundred million people living there, and yet it does not feel crowded at all. 

Xue Yue Imperial City has numerous main roads. Each of them is over a hundred meters wide and can accommodate a hundred people walking side by side. 

However, in recent days, many roads in the imperial city have been filled with pedestrians. Those riding on the BMWs have been extremely low-key. Even when walking on the roads, they have been leading their horses. 

Here, it's the Imperial City. There are countless powerful individuals. Just by taking a casual glance, one can see that there are quite a few people riding on the magnificent and fierce demonic beasts. Not to mention the magnificent horses. 

In a few days, it will be the anniversary of the establishment of the Snow Moon Holy Academy. It will recruit talented young students from all over the Snow Moon Kingdom. Simply recruiting some exceptionally talented individuals from various sects won't be enough to satisfy the demands of the Snow Moon Holy Academy. 

Such a grand event, how could the crowd not come from all over? From children as young as six years old to adults of eighteen years old, everyone hopes to become a member of the Snow Moon Holy Academy. This academy is very likely to become the most powerful institution in the Snow Moon Kingdom in the future. 

At this moment, several figures were walking on the main road, attracting much attention. Among them, there was a woman dressed in a fiery red dress, with a beautiful appearance and exuding a dual aura of ice and fire. 

"All these people aspire to become members of the Snow and Moon Holy Order. However, they don't know that the Snow and Moon Holy Order is not so easy to enter. Unless one has a talent like Qian Qian's, and is directly favored by the members of the order, but how many people can compare with Qian Qian?" 

A young man whispered and said something flattering, causing Lin Qian, who was dressed in a fiery-colored garment, to curl up a faint smile on her lips. 

"I've heard that Nalan Feng is in the imperial city. This time she has also been favored by the Snow Moon Holy Order. I wonder if this is true or not." 

Lin Hong beside Lin Qian said something, causing Lin Qian's brows to furrow. "Nalan Feng, last time, didn't they still have no clear winner?" 

Recalling the grand competition in Yangzhou City, Lin Qian couldn't help but involuntarily conjure up a figure in her mind. That was the figure who was once wild and unrestrained, regarded as a useless member of the Lin family and expelled from the sect. 

On that day, that person gave everyone a big surprise. The scene was so impressive that it stunned the audience and made him famous throughout Yangzhou City. 

Not a single person in Yangzhou knows of Lin Feng's name. 

Moreover, he left Yangzhou City with his head held high, leaving behind the noble family of Nalan Feng as a hostage, and easily made his escape from the city. He treated the powerful families and their members as if they were non-existent. 

"Today, Yunhai Sect has perished. Perhaps, he should have died by now." 

Lin Qian murmured to herself, "In my heart, I felt a mixture of emotions." Her heart was filled with a complex mix of feelings.
