After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!-Chapter 336 - Returning to Old Place and Gaining New Opportunities
Chapter 336: Returning to Old Place and Gaining New Opportunities
Three thousand li away from Ancient Pill Tower.
A red light sped across the sky, then descended in front of a cliff.
As the red light vanished, Lin Feng appeared with sunken cheeks, staggering due to insufficient blood and qi, nearly falling off the cliff.
“Back again...” After swallowing a few medicinal pills, he murmured to himself.
This was the cliff where he had received the Way of Laying Low inheritance.
He came here because he felt it was somewhat safe.
“Master...” Lin Feng whispered softly.
The scene of Jiang Chen stabbing Yu Shi to death was still vivid in his mind.
Lin Feng clenched his fists, grinding his teeth, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins!
Yu Shi had treated him well, yet died at the hands of Jiang Chen.
Overwhelmed by the madness of the others, he could only escape using Blood Burning.
He was unwilling to accept it!
Now that the Ancient Pill Tower had been taken over by the mad higher-ups and his master was dead, he had no choice but to defect from the sect.
Since arriving in the Central Domain, he had first defected from Jiuyan Sect, hoping to join the Buddha Temple.
But Buddha Old Ancestor, fearing the repercussions of his destiny, sent him to Ancient Pill Tower.
He had thought that Ancient Pill Tower would be his rise to power, but now he had no choice but to defect once again!
He, the Son of Destiny, was scurrying around like a rat!
In the end, he had nowhere to settle down.
“Is this the price of defying the Way of Laying Low?” Lin Feng looked up at the sky and murmured.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.
If he hadn’t tried to compete with Jiang Chen in the Way of the Pill, and if he hadn’t stubbornly participated in the alchemy conference despite knowing it went against the Way of Laying Low...
Perhaps Yu Shi would not have died, and he wouldn’t have ended up in his current predicament.
Regret, self-blame, discontent, and hatred filled Lin Feng’s heart.
He wanted to roar and scream hysterically at the sky.
He even wanted to cut down all the madmen in the world with a single sword strike!
Controlled by his emotions, Lin Feng’s state became more and more erratic.
His eyes were bloodshot, his breath became uneven, and his body was filled with violent energy.
This was the influence of the Way of Killing affecting his mind!
If left unchecked, even the Son of Destiny would become a puppet who only knew slaughter, completely consumed by it.
“Boy, wake up quickly!!” A loud shout exploded in Lin Feng’s mind.
Lin Feng suddenly woke up, and then...
He just cried!
“Old Man Tianji, you’re finally awake!” he choked out.
The last time Old Man Tianji fell asleep, he said it was just a ‘temporary sleep’ due to insufficient soul power.
Lin Feng thought this ‘temporary’ would only last a day or two, but it turned out to be over a month!
If Old Man Tianji had been awake and had sufficient soul power before, how could he have stood by and watched his master be killed?
“What happened? Tell me in detail,” Old Man Tianji urged, sensing the gravity of the situation.
Lin Feng didn’t hesitate, calmed his emotions, and recounted the recent events.
After listening, Old Man Tianji fell into a long silence.
Knowing the huge blow Lin Feng had suffered, he could only console, “This is fate, it’s unavoidable. Instead of dwelling on the past, think about what to do next.”
“Yes.” Lin Feng nodded, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
“Jiang Chen and I have a master-killing feud, a feud that meant we cannot coexist under the same sky!”
“And what of it? Haven’t you been abused by Jiang Chen enough?” Old Man Tianji retorted.
“...”
Lin Feng was speechless.
“I’ve told you before that your destiny is unstable. You need the help of a noble person, and as of now, Jiang Chen is the only one who doesn’t want your life,” Old Man Tianji continued.
“How can I not avenge my master’s death?” Lin Feng asked loudly.
“It’s not about not avenging your master, but the time has not come.”
Old Man Tianji slowed his tone, seriously saying, “When one day you rise above all beings in this world, Jiang Chen will be nothing more than an ant before you.”
Lin Feng felt that it made sense. Now was indeed not the right time for revenge.
Mainly because he couldn’t win...
After tossing two more medicinal pills into his mouth, Lin Feng once again ignited his vital blood and leaped down from the cliff to reach the cave dwelling on the cliff wall.
After this setback, he needed a quiet, safe place to replenish his qi and blood while questioning his life choices.
Since cultivators in this cliff area couldn’t rely on spiritual energy to fly, and the cave dwelling was relatively hidden, it was undoubtedly an excellent location.
At this moment, Lin Feng finally understood why the person who taught him the Way of Laying Low had always been holed up in this cave dwelling.
Indeed, it was too dangerous outside. This place was safer.
Stepping into the cave, Lin Feng made his way to the deepest part, familiar with the path.
He was suddenly startled.
Besides the remains of the Way of Laying Low person, there was also a green-robed cultivator who was dead!
The death of the green-robed cultivator was extremely tragic.
Not only was his entire face covered with poison needles, but his limbs and bones were also twisted to varying degrees, clearly having suffered unbearable pain before death!
After glancing at the knife marks on the remains of the Way of Laying Low person, Lin Feng understood.
It seemed that after he had left, this green-robed cultivator had also arrived at this cave dwelling and found the remains of the Way of Laying Low person by some coincidence.
After searching the remains, the green-robed cultivator, finding nothing, attempted to dig around the corpse to look further, only to fall victim to the trap formation laid by the Way of Laying Low person on himself, resulting in his untimely death.
“Good thing I didn’t do that back then. Otherwise, I might have been the one to die,” Lin Feng patted his chest, feeling relieved.
“Check the remains of this green-robed cultivator. A person who could leap into the cliff and reach this place must have had some exceptional abilities!” Old Man Tianji reminded.
Lin Feng thought it was a reasonable suggestion and immediately began to search.
Soon, he found a spiritual ring with numerous secret manuals, cultivation techniques, and an identity token engraved with the character “Pale” inside.
“Pale Moon Sect’s true inheritance?” Lin Feng blurted out.
Pale Moon Sect, a second-tier righteous sect in the Central Domain, was affiliated with the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion.
Due to its low profile, Pale Moon Sect was rarely known, and Lin Feng had only learned about this sect after entering the Ancient Pill Tower.
After reviewing the cultivation techniques and secret manuals, Lin Feng finally understood why this person had managed to reach this place.
He had learned a movement technique similar to Blood Burning.
Then, he found another item.
It was similar to a jade slip for cultivation techniques but was an incomplete piece.
Not only was the name of the technique unclear, but it was also incomprehensible.
“This is... an ancient technique!” exclaimed Old Man Tianji, emerging from the spiritual ring.
“Ancient technique?” Lin Feng was taken aback.
“Indeed, it is an ancient technique!” Old Man Tianji explained in detail.
“This technique is called ‘Hundred Forms,’ and it can change a cultivator’s appearance and the aura of their soul! Unless someone beyond the upper four realms personally investigates, no one will be able to detect it!”
Hearing this, Lin Feng’s eyes lit up.
A technique that could change appearance and soul aura? Wasn’t this exactly what he needed right now?
There were too many lunatics outside, and he would be targeted as soon as he went out!
He needed such an ancient technique to ensure his own safety!
Suddenly, Lin Feng thought of something and asked Old Man Tianji, “Do you also know this ancient technique?”
“I do not,” Old Man Tianji shook his head.
“Then how do you know about it?” Lin Feng asked again.
“Because I happen to have another piece of this ancient technique. Combined with yours, it will complete the technique.”
“I see.”
Lin Feng suddenly understood.
He was really afraid Old Man Tianji would say, “Only I know this technique in the world”!
Past experiences proved that this was all boasting, which had led him into trouble.
Unable to contain his excitement, Lin Feng asked Old Man Tianji for the remaining piece and then secluded himself to cultivate.
During this time, Old Man Tianji thought about checking in on him.
“Don’t come over!” Lin Feng warned with a wary face.
“I always feel that if you learn it, I won’t be safe!”
“...”
Old Man Tianji was speechless.
This kid, he even started to guard against him!
So heartless!
