The following events had nothing to do with Lin Fei.
In another contest for third place, the follower of the Ninth Princess admitted defeat to Lin Fei to preserve his strength. As expected, it worked wonders, he easily won the third place.
From then on, the top three were determined. The royal competition came to an end.
This time's royal competition was filled with climaxes and unexpected changes. No one could have imagined an acquired martial artist could actually kill a sixth-level orthodox Qi Condensation cultivator. The legendary Martial Dao True Intent reappeared.
As a result, with the departure of these people, Lin Fei's name instantly spread throughout all the forces of Great Chang. Regardless of whether they were martial arts sects or lofty immortal sects, they all knew about Lin Fei.
However, sometimes fame in the world was not necessarily a good thing. It might even bring trouble!
...
In the South King Mansion, Ling Yao's expression was serious, and she called Lin Fei to the hall.
"Lin Fei, this is the Heavenly Meridian Pill, one for each of us," Ling Yao handed a pill to Lin Fei. This was what Lin Fei deserved.
This Heavenly Meridian Pill had many pill patterns on it. Whenever there were pill patterns, it meant that the refining process was extremely difficult.
Taking one Heavenly Meridian Pill could open up a meridian and increase inner power by one level. For acquired martial artists, it could be considered the best pill.
Ling Yao also received a Heavenly Meridian Pill. She could use it to break through the bottleneck and advance to the seventh level acquired martial artist.
However, Ling Yao's expression was very serious. She didn't seem to be very excited.
"Lin Fei, there is some trouble with your situation," Ling Yao said with a serious tone.
"Hmm? Is it about He Yunzi?" Lin Fei looked up. He could roughly guess.
Ling Yao looked at Lin Fei with a complex expression and nodded, "No one expected that you could kill He Yunzi. Afterward, I asked the three elders and learned about He Yunzi's identity. He Yunzi had an extraordinary status in He Mountain Dao, and he was considered the most promising disciple to successfully build his foundation in the past 300 years. He didn't need to participate in this royal competition. But He Yunzi insisted on coming down the mountain. His purpose was to meet you in the royal competition, defeat your momentum, and save face for He Mountain Dao. As a result, he was killed by you..."
Lin Fei's expression remained calm as if nothing could make him emotional. However, Lin Fei understood Ling Yao's words.
"So, the high-level Qi Condensation cultivators of He Mountain Dao might take action against me?" Lin Fei said indifferently.
"It's not a possibility, it's certain! Even with the support of the royal family, He Mountain Dao is one of the immortal sects, and it's not that easy to deal with them. Besides, you are not a member of the royal family. The royal family cannot protect you at all costs under these circumstances.
However, Lin Fei, as long as you stay in Chang City or simply return to the Nine Profound Sect and never come down the mountain, He Mountain Dao can't do anything to you. Don't underestimate the Nine Profound Sect. Although it is a martial arts sect, the founder of the Nine Profound Sect was an extraordinary talent and left behind many treasures. It's delusional for He Mountain Dao to think they can attack the Nine Profound Sect."
Lin Fei understood. Those high-level Qi Condensation cultivators of He Mountain Dao would definitely take action against him, but Lin Fei wasn't without a place to go.
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
The Nine Profound Sect mountain and Chang City were safe places.
Those high-level Qi Condensation cultivators of He Mountain Dao wouldn't dare to act recklessly in Chang City, nor would they dare to attack the Nine Profound Sect.
However, Lin Fei knew that it was not as simple as Ling Yao said.
If He Mountain Dao wanted to kill Lin Fei, they would naturally find a way to make Lin Fei leave Chang City or the Nine Profound Sect. For example, the Lin family in Zhou Mountain Mansion City!
Those immortal sects might not take direct action themselves. However, they could secretly manipulate some evil and demonic people to cause chaos in Zhou Mountain Mansion City and threaten the Lin family.
At that time, Lin Fei would inevitably come down the mountain. That would be He Mountain Dao's opportunity.
"Thank you, Senior Sister, for telling me all this," Lin Fei thanked her with a bow.
"Lin Fei, it was me who let you participate in the royal competition. Otherwise, this kind of thing would never have happened. So, I am the one who got you into trouble..." Ling Yao bit her lip. She was responsible for this!
She deeply blamed herself. She wanted to use some connections and methods to help Lin Fei. However, He Yunzi was dead and nothing could be undone. In this world, strength ultimately prevailed!
"I will write a letter to have the Lin family temporarily move into the Nine Profound Sect and I will not leave Chang City unless it's absolutely necessary," Lin Fei said calmly.
"Don't worry, Lin Fei, I will arrange for someone to escort the Lin family to the Nine Profound Sect as quickly as possible."
Ling Yao immediately went to make arrangements. She was a princess. With her token, Officials from all over would cooperate.
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
Lin Fei returned to his room. He recalled the words Ling Yao had said.
He Mountain Dao was about to seek revenge. Even with the protection of the Nine Profound Sect and the mediation of the royal family, Lin Fei killed He Yunzi. He Mountain Dao wouldn't let this go easily. They would definitely try every means to kill Lin Fei.
This world was so cruel, strength was supreme! Sometimes, even if one is in the right, it doesn't matter.
"My strength is still not enough!" A cold light flashed in Lin Fei's eyes.
If his strength was strong enough, he could easily deter He Mountain Dao with just one word. If his strength was strong enough, he could directly attack He Mountain Dao, trample down He Mountain Dao's sect gate, and extinguish their lineage, just like the founder of the Nine Profound Sect.
How carefree it would be to dominate the world and be invincible? Who would dare threaten the disciples of the Nine Profound Sect?
"System."
Lin Fei called out the system panel.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Acquired Eighth Level
Saber Intent: Mastery (16% Progress)
Fist Intent: Mastery (45% Progress)
Three Vitality Technique: Level 8 (38% Progress)
Leaping Technique: Perfection (0% Progress)
Flowing Clothes Skill: Transcendence (0% Progress)
Three Vitality Technique, currently only at the eighth level. His fist intent improved by 30% today and saber intent also improved by 5%.
As long as he used saber intent to kill strong enemies, it could be improved during combat. Fist intent, however, required victory and attention.
Nevertheless, Lin Fei was well aware, neither fist intent nor saber intent, reaching transcendence would happen overnight.
"Those above Qi Condensation Seventh Level are called high-level Qi Condensation cultivators. Those who can break through seventh level have strong mental will. Moreover, the spells and magical artifacts they control are very powerful.
Mastery in martial intent cannot deal with high-level Qi Condensation cultivators. At most, it can only intimidate them for a moment; killing them is almost impossible. Therefore, it is necessary to reach the transcendence level, or break through the Ren and Du meridians and advance to innate!
By then, innate true qi can break the magical artifacts of Qi Condensation cultivators and injure them. Combined with Martial Dao True Intent, killing high-level Qi Condensation cultivators should not be a problem!"
Lin Fei analyzed his current strength. In terms of Martial Dao True Intent, Lin Fei was already quite strong. But his cultivation was only at Acquired Eighth Level. There was still a gap to reach innate.
"I still have a large amount of Burst Qi Pills, which can be used to speed up the improvement of my inner power. If the Burst Qi Pills are not enough, I can write a letter to Lin Miao, asking him to disguise the Burst Qi Pills and send them to Chang City, which shouldn't be a problem.
If even Burst Qi Pills are not very useful, I can use Heavenly Meridian Pill. I will strive to improve to Acquired Twelve Level! By then, reaching innate will be possible! Once I reach innate, what can high-level Qi Condensation cultivators do? If He Mountain Dao's high-level Qi Condensation cultivators really dare to come, I will really dare to kill!"
Lin Fei's heart was also filled with killing intent. He Mountain Dao repeatedly made things difficult for him. Even a clay figure has a temper. It was He Mountain Dao's people who provoked Lin Fei in the first place. Lin Fei fought back and killed them, but now he had to bear the consequences?
If He Mountain Dao really dared to make a move, once I achieve great success in martial arts, I will definitely destroy the gate of He Mountain Dao!
