Inside the East Palace of Chang City, Crown Princess Ling Yao was dealing with a pile of complex official affairs.

"Report! Lin Fei, the Martial Saint of the Nine Profound Sect, in a single day, successively trampled over the Fairy Crane Sect and Water Moon Sect, two major immortal sects! Both major immortal sects had their lineage cut off, and everyone in the immortal sects was slaughtered!"

"Thump."

The pen in Ling Yao's hand fell to the ground.

"He really... destroyed the immortal sects..."

Ling Yao's expression was complicated. Not a single word Lin Fei had said seemed to be false. Every single word he said came true. Even the fact that she is now the Crown Princess, occupying the East Palace. She was already the next heir to the throne. Her status was incredibly prestigious.

But Ling Yao knew all she had now was all fought for her by Lin Fei. Without Lin Fei, she wouldn't even be a princess, let alone a Crown Princess. Back then, Lin Fei gave her two choices. Martial Dao or power. She chose power. She even carefully considered if she chose the Martial Dao, maybe with Lin Fei's help, she could achieve innate.

But what about becoming an innate martial artist?

If she did not become a Martial Saint, it would all be in vain. Even if Lin Fei would do everything he could to help her build her foundation.

But how much hope is there?

It's minuscule.

However, now seeing Lin Fei trampling over the immortal sects, she didn't know why there was a slight stir in Ling Yao's heart.

"Was I wrong?"

Ling Yao murmured softly.

......

In the towering Sky-Reaching Tower, one could not see its end at first glance. The Sky-Reaching Sect! One of the oldest immortal sects in Great Chang. At this moment, many top-tier Qi Condensation cultivators gathered within the Sky-Reaching Sect.

No one knew the current generation of the Sky-Reaching Sect actually had three Foundation Establishment True Persons! These three Foundation Establishment True Persons were always waiting for the right time. It was only when the supreme elder of the royal family reached his limit and passed away, the Sky-Reaching Sect began its layout. Their goal was to control at least half of the world's power.

However, they encountered a problem now. The three Foundation Establishment True Persons were sitting at the head. Below them were two rows of Qi Condensation cultivators.

"Dao fellows, the world is now in great chaos, and the people are suffering. The Great Chang royal family has lost its authority, and the world is vying for it! Our Sky-Reaching Sect, after hiding for hundreds of years, is now time for us to emerge.

However, recent news has emerged. The Fairy Crane Sect and the Water Moon Sect have been trampled and destroyed by Lin Fei, the newly promoted Martial Saint of the Nine Profound Sect. Everyone in the two major immortal sects has been slaughtered to the last, and their lineage has thus been severed.

When Lin Fei started to rise, he successively slew many Qi Condensation cultivators, respectively killed those from He Mountain Dao, and Guardian Primordial Mountain, and earned the title of 'Immortal Slayer Saber'.

Later, Lin Fei became a Martial Saint. He even used his saber to cut down the Foundation Establishment True Person Yuan Kongzi from the Guardian Primordial Mountain. Now, Lin Fei has trampled over the Water Moon Sect and the Fairy Crane Sect, acting recklessly.

Compared with the founder of the Great Chang from nine hundred years ago, he probably would not be outdone. With him around, the world of Great Chang cannot be extinguished."

Hearing the words of the Foundation Establishment True Person, many Qi Condensation cultivators also started to discuss. The Sky-Reaching Sect had been hidden for too long. Ever since the royal family's supreme elder suppressed the world, the Sky-Reaching Sect had been hidden for hundreds of years.

Unexpectedly, just as they wanted to emerge, vying for power in the world, and restore the glory of the Sky-Reaching Sect, there was a new Martial Saint Lin Fei! Moreover, all three Foundation Establishment True Persons of the Sky-Reaching Sect unanimously believed Lin Fei was probably not inferior to the founder of Great Chang. Even if he was not as good, he was almost there.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"If we let Lin Fei suppress all the immortal sects in the world. Wouldn't our Sky-Reaching Sect have to hide for another hundreds of years?"

"Lin Fei has just built his foundation to become a Martial Saint. In terms of age, he is younger than the three True Persons, and he could sit in Great Chang for hundreds of years. We can't wait that long!"

"Now is not the same as when the founder of Great Chang rose to power. We, the immortal sects, have been hiding for hundreds of years, and our accumulations are not ordinary. If it wasn't that the old man of the royal family had reached his limit, with our current strength, we might not have feared him."

"To ask us to endure for another hundreds of years, how is that possible?"

"Endure, endure, always endure! When will it end? We, the dignified Qi cultivators, have to bow down to those martial artists, how frustrating is that? Even Martial Saints, during our glorious days of the immortal sects, were nothing more than a pawn we could command at will. How dare they act against us as they do now?"

"Martial Saint Lin Fei must be eliminated!"

For a moment, many of the elders had a very firm attitude. They simply did not want to endure. They couldn't bear it any longer.

Lin Fei had just become a Martial Saint, and his lifespan was hundreds of years. If they really had to wait it out, not one of them could outlast Lin Fei.

In the end, they couldn't wear out Lin Fei, they would all have to die. As for whether the Sky-Reaching Sect could produce as many Foundation Establishment True Persons in the future. Or, whether they could be even more glorious than they are now. Who knew? It's not always the case that sealing the mountain would make them continuously strong.

The three Foundation Establishment True Persons looked at each other. In fact, they had a pretty good guess about these Qi cultivators' attitudes. Moreover, they didn't want to endure either.

It was not easy to achieve the Foundation Establishment stage. It was not easy to outlast the supreme elder of the royal family. Now another Martial Saint appeared and they were supposed to keep waiting? They couldn't take it anymore!

"It seems that all the elders have a unanimous opinion. That is to kill Martial Saint Lin Fei! Only with Lin Fei dead, can the world be ours, the immortal sects'. However, this matter cannot be accomplished by our Sky-Reaching Sect alone. We also need to inform the other immortal sects.

The Foundation Establishment of other immortal sects must also be unbearable now. Back then, the founder of Great Chang defeated each of our immortal sects individually. This time, we cannot repeat the same mistake. If we don't take action, that's fine, but once we do.

We must gather all our strength, and with the momentum of thunder and lightning, we will kill Lin Fei in one fell swoop! By then, the power of the world will fall into the hands of our immortal sects... Those martial artists can only be driven by us! Even to prevent things like the founder of Great Chang from happening again, we can even enact Martial Prohibition. All martial arts above innate will be completely abolished and destroyed! By then, no matter how many martial artists there are, if they can't even reach the innate level, how can they compete with our immortal sects?"

So, the Sky-Reaching Sect made a decision and immediately sent a message to the other immortal sects to join hands to deal with Lin Fei of the Nine Profound Sect. If they didn't take action, that was fine. Once they took action, they must kill Lin Fei!

...

Nine Profound Sect, in Lin Fei's cave dwelling, the sect master respectfully came into the cave.

"Elder Lin. Recently, all the major immortal sects have been very quiet. He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain have already sealed their mountains. Even those previously active hidden immortal sects have also stopped supporting the local rebels. It seems that they have all suddenly gone quiet."

Lin Fei slowly opened his eyes. It seemed that he didn't find it surprising. He spoke in a calm tone, "If there is no movement, then a storm may be brewing! Back then, the supreme elder of the royal family suppressed the major immortal sects for hundreds of years. At the same time, these immortal sects have also accumulated power for hundreds of years. Now the supreme elder of the royal family has passed away, but I have appeared. Sect Master, do you think those immortal sects will continue to endure?"

"This..."

The sect master questioned himself. If it were him, he definitely couldn't endure it. After all, Lin Fei is too young. Having become a Martial Saint, he can suppress the world for hundreds of years.

Those foundation establishment cultivators, not one of them could outlast Lin Fei. If they didn't make a move on Lin Fei now, then they would have even less chance in the future. Under such circumstances, how could the immortal sects remain indifferent?

"Martial Dao, Immortal Dao..."

Lin Fei murmured quietly. In fact, Martial Dao and Immortal Dao do not have much conflict. The resources each has are actually quite different. But why were the martial artists and Qi cultivators of Great Chang so tense in their relationship?

There's only one reason. Great Chang was too small. The whole "world" was also too small. It couldn't accommodate both the Martial Dao and immortal sects.

"Elder Lin, you are just one person. But there are dozens of immortal sects. Even the hidden immortal sects that have been passed down for thousands of years are more than ten. Once they really join forces, Elder Lin, how can you resist?"

The sect master asked with concern. Ever since Lin Fei destroyed the mountain gates of the Water Moon Sect and Fairy Crane Sect, he had completely broken with the immortal sects, there was no possibility of any reconciliation.

"I have my own plans, you may go..." Lin Fei said indifferently.

"Yes, Elder."

The sect master respectfully left the cave dwelling. However, he was still worried.

Can Lin Fei hold on?
