Peerless Martial God

Chapter 1601: Hypothesis

"Master Mu En, the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness is truly and deeply sorry. We hope that we can become friends in the future. If you have any requests, we will do our best to help you." said Zhou Tian Xiao. He wasn"t willing to kneel though. Lin Feng didn"t give him face so, how could he?

The elders had warned him that he couldn"t be hostile with Lin Feng, that he had to control his anger.

Zhou Tian Xiao wasn"t the only one who was angry, the other members from the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness were as well. Jin Chen Jun was smiling in a resplendent way though. He hoped those guys wouldn"t get too close to Lin Feng.

"The Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness tried to kill me last time, and they were arrogant. They even broke my illusion deployment spell. Now, I asked you to kneel and show your respect, but since you don"t want to, just p.i.s.s off!" said Lin Feng impolitely. Zhou Tian Xiao and the others looked dumbstruck. If they went back empty-handed, their superiors would be less than pleased with them.

"If we kneel, will you forgive us and the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness?" asked Zhou Tian Xiao, closing his eyes as he tried to hold in the anger.

"Kneel and we"ll talk about it afterwards." said Lin Feng. Lin Feng didn"t think that Zhou Tian Xiao would accept being humiliated like that. Zhou Tian Xiao was much more impressive than Zhou Tian Ruo.

"Alright." said Zhou Tian Xiao. Then he said to his compatriots, "Kneel down."

He got down on his knees and lowered his head, "The Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness is infinitely sorry for what we"ve done to you. We hope you can forgive us."

Even with this, Lin Feng still wasn"t satisfied. Zhou Tian Xiao was kneeling only because he thought Lin Feng was from the Everlasting Palace. He needed to oppress him more, he needed to make him question himself about what it means to be a real cultivator.

Zhou Tian Xiao raised his head, remaining silent as he looked at Lin Feng, waiting for his answer.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "p.i.s.s off!"

"p.i.s.s off!" Zhou Tian Xiao started fuming with anger. What a humiliation! Flames of fury filled his heart, to the point where it hurt. He had knelt, but Mu En was still telling him to p.i.s.s off!

He slowly stood up and bowed before Lin Feng, "We disturbed you, but no matter what you think, the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness is truly sorry. We hope to see you again in the future."

He bowed before Lin Feng once more and then left with his team. Lin Feng looked at Zhou Tian Xiao, who was expressionless.

"Take care, everyone." said Jin Chen Jun smiling indifferently. The Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness" people were on the brink of snapping from anger. If Lin Feng hadn"t been a member of the Everlasting Palace and hadn"t been such a strong deployment spell caster, they would have killed him long ago.

After the cultivators from the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness left, Jin Chen Jun walked to Lin Feng and asked while smiling, "Master Mu En, do you need me to do anything?"

"Nothing, I just want to practice my deployment spells. Don"t let anyone disturb me again." said Lin Feng to Jin Chen Jun.

"Alright, I"ll see you later!" said Jin Chen Jun while slowly leaving. After Jin Chen Jun left, Lin Feng frowned, looking rather pensive.

"The Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness sent people to apologize, and they even knelt in front of me. They saw what happened yesterday, I wonder whether it"s a good or bad thing." thought Lin Feng.

Someone landed next to Lin Feng, it was Muyi.

"What are you thinking about?" asked Muyi, smiling when he saw that Lin Feng looked perplexed.

"I"m thinking about yesterday. The deployment spell was too powerful, I wonder whether…" Lin Feng stopped talking when he saw that Muyi smiled and said, "Indeed, your deployment spell was astonis.h.i.+ng, many people will talk about it even farther away from here. Luckily, the Everlasting Palace is in Si Xiang City, which is very far away. News won"t spread that far in such a short time."

Muyi never asked Lin Feng about the nine great celestial castles, but he had spent so much time with him that he understood that there are some tensions between Lin Feng and Celestial Qi Castle, the Palace of Medicinal Kings and the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness. Otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn"t have done all that.

"Maybe I"m thinking about it too much, but it"s better to be careful." said Lin Feng smiling. Even though Si Xiang City was very far away, maybe the Everlasting Palace was still going to hear about it. The nine great celestial castles couldn"t go to the Everlasting Palace to ask about it, but if they learnt that a cultivator of the eighth Zun Qi layer had killed several emperors, then they would send some of their people to see what that was going on.

"You"re right. It"s better to be vigilant and plan ahead." said Muyi nodding. Even though the nine great celestial castles weren"t as large as the Everlasting Palace, they still had some influence in the region. They had access to some information. There were many ways to figure out that it was Lin Feng, but Lin Feng"s deployment spells were too convincing.

"I"m going to make some more talismans." said Lin Feng nodding at Muyi. Then, he went back to his room. Muyi looked at Lin Feng"s back as he left, smiling and shaking his head. Lin Feng was very mysterious, but it had nothing to do with Muyi, so he minded his own business. At least, Lin Feng was serious about deployment cultivation and helped him with his own.

Lin Feng spent another calm and peaceful day, n.o.body came to disturb him.

On the second day, outside of Celestial Qi Castle"s territory, Qi Yun Lei and some people from Qing Di Mountain appeared in the clouds. Qi Yun Sheng and Qi Yu Chen were in the group.

"Master Qi Yun Lei!" said Jin Chen Jun, rising into the sky and bowing. Qi Yun Lei had come back, and because he was a cultivator from the Everlasting Palace, he was well respected. Even though he didn"t have a high social status there, he was still a member.

"Very good, Master Qi Yun Lei and Master Mu En are here at the same time." thought Jin Chen Jun.

"Yun Lei, you came back!" said Qi Yun Xiao, also rising into the air. He was smiling in a resplendent way. They had the same blood, so they were like brothers.

"Brother Yun Xiao!" said Qi Yun Lei smiling and nodding at everybody, one after the other. Then, they rose up in the air together.

"Yun Lei, how come you didn"t tell me you were coming back?"

"Some things happened at the Everlasting Palace and a lot of people left. Now they"re hunting for someone. I stayed in Qing Di Mountain for a while, and now I thought I had to see how the clan was doing." said Qi Yun Lei laughing. "Alright, I"ve heard that a deployment spell caster from the Everlasting Palace was here, tell me the details."

Qi Yun Lei was skeptical. The Everlasting Palace was big, and there were many people. If Mu En had been an ordinary cultivator, having never heard of him would have been normal, however, Mu En, with the strength of the Zun Qi layer, could cast great deployment spells capable of killing emperors and posing a threat to medium-level emperors. There were only a few people like that in the Everlasting Palace and they were very, very famous. However, Mu En wasn"t one of them. Of course, Qi Yun Lei also thought of the possibility that this person had lied about their name when they came there.

"You"ve even heard of that!" said Qi Yun Xiao smiling. Then, he explained everything to Qi Yun Lei, how Lin Feng had cast deployment spells, how Muyi had protected him, etc. After that, Qi Yun Lei frowned even more.

"What"s wrong?" asked Qi Yun Xiao when he saw Qi Yun Lei"s reaction.

"I"m almost sure we don"t have anyone called Master Mu En in the Everlasting Palace, but I need to see him to be sure." said Qi Yun Lei. Qi Yun Xiao was dumbstruck, they didn"t have anyone called Mu En?

"Yun Lei, think carefully. The issue is of the highest importance. You have to think carefully before we make any final decisions." said Qi Yun Xiao. He also had doubts at the beginning but because Lin Feng"s deployment spells were so powerful, he no longer doubted anything. Besides, he didn"t want to have Mu En as an enemy, even if he was faking his ident.i.ty.

"In the Everlasting Palace, we have some Zun level cultivators who can pose a threat to emperors, but the one you"re talking about can even kill medium-level emperors. There are only a few with such talents. I could be wrong though, but when I see him, I"ll tell you." said Qi Yun Lei honestly.

"Alright, I"ll take you there, but you need to be friendly, and you can"t tell him you"re from the Everlasting Palace." said Qi Yun Xiao. "Besides, if he"s not from the Everlasting Palace, don"t attack him immediately. We must be careful when dealing with such a strong deployment spell caster."

"I understand." said Qi Yun Lei nodding. He was already thinking of ideas to investigate about Mu En. They slowly walked towards Yao Yun Peak, but they were eager to hear what Mu En was going to say.

Chapter 1602: Dangerous Conversation

Yao Yun Peak, Qi Yun Xiao and Qi Yun Lei stopped at the bridge. They watched as Muyi cast illusion deployment spells on all the fake mountains, but they didn"t see Lin Feng anywhere.

"Master Muyi." Qi Yun Xiao and the others arrived with several people: Qi Yun Xiao, Qi Yun Lei, Qi Yun Sheng, Jin Chen Jun and Qi Yu Chen.

Muyi turned around and looked at them, noting that there were some people he didn"t recognize.

"Master Muyi, I"d like to introduce you to my brothers, Qi Yun Lei, Qi Yun Sheng and Qi Yu Chen." said Qi Yun Xiao smiling. "Do you know where Master Mu En is?"

"Why are you looking for him?" asked Muyi. His heart started accelerating as he thought about his last talk with Lin Feng.

"Qi Yun Lei also likes deployment spells, so when he heard about Master Mu En, he asked if he could meet him. He has some questions about deployment spells." said Qi Yun Xiao. He looked absolutely normal and smiled as if what they were asking was perfectly harmless.

"I see. I"ll go ask for you." Muyi glanced at Qi Yun Lei and then left. A few minutes later, he landed before Lin Feng"s door and knocked. Lin Feng said, "Come in!"

Muyi entered the room just as Lin Feng finished another talisman. Lin Feng put it away and looked at Muyi.

"Mu En, Celestial Qi Castle brought a guy who says he likes deployment spells and is asking to see you." said Muyi using telepathy. "There were three strangers, and Qi Yun Lei is a medium-level emperor, I don"t know why he came here."

Lin Feng nodded, seemingly understanding what was going on. He stood up and said, "Since we"re the guests of honor, we must go and see him. Let"s go."

Then, they both walked out.

"Master Mu En!" said Qi Yun Xiao waving and smiling. Lin Feng nodded and smiled. He looked normal, as if he had nothing to hide.

"Master Yun Xiao, why did you come here?" asked Lin Feng smiling. He glanced at the three people. He knew Qi Yun Sheng and Qi Yu Chen, but he didn"t know Qi Yun Lei.

"Master Mu En, that"s Qi Yun Lei, he is like you in that he practices deployment spells."

"Master Mu En is a Zun cultivator, but he can kill emperors, so I don"t deserve being mentioned in the same sentence as him. I just came to say h.e.l.lo." said Qi Yun Lei politely. "Master Mu En, I"ve been practicing deployment spells for about ten years, but there are some things that I don"t understand at all. You"re so young and already so strong. Could you maybe teach me some things?"

"I could teach you something, sure. Carve some simple deployment marks and show me what you know." said Lin Feng. He didn"t know what that person"s goal was, so he had to be very careful.

"Alright, please sit down." said Qi Yun Lei pointing to a stone chair. Lin Feng sat down. Qi Yun Lei started carving marks in the table in front of them using cosmic energies.

Qi Yun Lei was very precise as he focused on each stroke.

"Great deployment spells are made of smaller deployment spells. Small deployment spells are made of holy marks which are inter-connected to one another, and holy marks are made of deployment marks which are intertwining. Each stroke must be perfect and precise. However, I"m too slow. It gets even more difficult with each mark I add. I also have the impression that controlling them is difficult."

Qi Yun Lei carved a small deployment spell, then lights flashed. After carving the deployment spell, he looked at Lin Feng and waited for his reply.

"Master, you have an advanced understanding of deployment spells. As you said, you must control the strokes perfectly to control them properly. Concerning great deployment spells, you need to be talented to carve them." said Lin Feng smiling.

He put his hand on the table and suddenly, marks flashed, causing terrifying energies to emerge. The marks started intertwining. There seemed to be two small deployment spells on the table, but each were made from different types of strength. In other words, Lin Feng"s marks were better.

Qi Yun Lei was speechless, Lin Feng was telling him that he wasn"t talented. He was telling him that to become stronger, he could only work diligently. But Qi Yun Lei couldn"t refute him because Lin Feng"s marks were perfect. He had almost forgotten why he was there after watching Lin Feng carve his marks.

But Qi Yun Lei smiled wryly and said, "Master Mu En, you"re amazing. I practice so hard and I am still so far behind you. My teacher is Master Jingfeng from the Everlasting Palace, I don"t know if you"ve heard of him?"

Qi Yun Lei was smiling indifferently but that question was crucial.

"I just follow my teacher and I practice hard. He always tells me not to pay attention to what happens in the Everlasting Palace, so I don"t even know who Master Jingfeng is. You must think I"m ridiculous." said Lin Feng smiling. Qi Yun Lei"s heart started pounding.

Actually, there was no Master Jingfeng in the Everlasting Palace, he just made him up. However, Lin Feng"s reply was very well worded.

"I see. You"re so talented though, so I must admire you. I would never think you"re ridiculous." said Qi Yun Lei shaking his head and smiling wryly. "The Everlasting Palace is in the northern part of Si Xiang City, and now other influential groups keep rising. Some sects also want to catch up with us, which is why the Everlasting Palace wants to find the Everlasting Celestial Emperor"s palace. Master Mu En, you"re so talented, I"m sure that someday you"ll be as strong as the Everlasting Celestial Emperor!"

"My teacher doesn"t allow me to get involved in those things, I am only allowed to practice constantly and travel to gain experience. We"ll see if you"re right once I become stronger. Concerning the Everlasting Palace, I"m not stupid, I don"t know much but I know where it is." said Lin Feng in a calm way. He knew that Qi Yun Lei was investigating him. He was doubting that Lin Feng was a disciple from the Everlasting Palace, otherwise he wouldn"t have asked such questions. However, things were happening a lot faster than he"d expected. Muyi and Lin Feng had just discussed those things the day before.

"Sorry, what did I say?" said Qi Yun Lei, he didn"t know what to say. "I don"t want to disturb you any longer, Master Mu En."

"Alright." said Lin Feng nodding indifferently. Then, Qi Yun Lei and the others left.

After they left, Lin Feng frowned and glanced at Muyi.

"Qi Yun Lei kept making mistakes, the Everlasting Palace is not in the northern part of the city, and n.o.body is threatening them. I wouldn"t be surprised to learn that Master Jingfeng doesn"t even exist." said Muyi to Lin Feng using telepathy. He had told Lin Feng how to reply a few seconds before, using telepathy.

Lin Feng nodded and whispered, "They"ll find out about us soon."

He said that he knew nothing because he only practiced with his teacher, but that was difficult to prove in an argument.

Muyi nodded, he also realized the situation was getting dangerous.

On the other side, Qi Yun Lei walked while thinking quickly.

"Yun Lei, what do you think?" asked Qi Yun Xiao.

"I just lied about everything. When talking about his teacher, he said he only followed his teacher. If I had asked who it was, he would have probably said his teacher doesn"t allow him to tell anyone who he is. That"s a perfect answer to use if he were lying. I think he might not be from the Everlasting Palace."

Qi Yun Xiao and the others looked skeptical.

What was Mu En"s purpose if he wasn"t from the Everlasting Palace?

"Even if that"s true, he"s still a very capable deployment spell caster. Let"s go to the main palace and discuss this." said Qi Yun Xiao.

Chapter 1603: Great Deployment Spells

Qi Yun Xiao was sitting in one of Qi Castle"s castles with some others who looked glum, they didn"t know what to think about Lin Feng.

"Before, everybody found Master Mu En"s arrogance and bad temper normal, but now it seems like he provoked the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness and the Palace of Medicinal Kings intentionally. So, on the other day, when he caused trouble at the Palace of Medicinal Kings, it was on purpose." said Qi Yun Xiao frowning.

"If that"s true, if he really wanted to provoke the Palace of Medicinal Kings on purpose, what does he want from us?" asked Jin Chen Jun. Because of Lin Feng, there were now tensions between Celestial Qi Castle and the Palace of Medicinal Kings.

"If it"s really that way, then he also means to harm us with his grand scheme." everybody was getting nervous. Qi Yun Xiao looked at Qi Yun Lei and asked, "Yun Lei, are you sure that Master Mu En is not a member from the Everlasting Palace."

"Almost entirely sure, otherwise, he wouldn"t need to conceal such things." said Qi Yun Lei nodding.

Qi Yun Xiao"s eyes twinkled, he looked at Jin Chen Jun and said, "Go and find Master Mi."

"Master Mi!" Jin Chen Jun knew what he was implying. He then immediately left the hall. They were going to take drastic measures. Since Master Mu En wasn"t a member of the Everlasting Palace, they could try and keep such a strong deployment spell caster for themselves. However, they still had doubts. Master Mu En and Celestial Qi Castle hadn"t had any problems before, so why would he mean them harm?

Now they had to wait for Master Mi, he"d know how to solve the problem.

"Yun Sheng, bring Emperor Dong and Emperor Qi to the center of our territory and have someone guard the area. Master Mu En can use deployment spells to protect the area, but we must be very careful." said Qi Yun Xiao. He had seen how terrifying Master Mu En"s deployment spells were.

"I understand." Qi Yun Sheng nodded and left. Qi Yun Xiao was waiting for Master Mi. They would be able to go to Yao Yun Peak with Master Mi and control him. That way, they"d have a powerful deployment spell caster with them and even if there were tensions between them and the Palace of Medicinal Kings, it didn"t matter because it was worth it.

Lin Feng knew nothing about that as he was still studying deployment spells.

Time pa.s.sed slowly before someone moved in Lin Feng"s direction wearing a mask: Master Mi.

"He"s here." Qi Yun Xiao and the others had been waiting for Master Mi. They rose up in the air when they saw him.

"Master Mi." said Qi Yun Xiao and the others politely. Master Mi nodded at them and gazed into the distance.

"Where is he?" asked Master Mi calmly.

"On Yao Yun Peak." said Qi Yun Xiao. Qi Yun Xiao, Qi Yun Lei, Master Mi and Jin Chen Jun left together: three medium-level emperor and one low-level emperor. Two of the medium-level emperor controlled empty s.p.a.ce cosmic energies, that way, even if Muyi protected Mu En, he wouldn"t be able to do much. After all, those three people weren"t ordinary medium-level emperor, especially Master Mi, he was a step above them.

Very quickly, the four of them arrived on Yao Yun Peak. At that moment, Lin Feng was still in the pavilion. He had broken the stone table and was carving things on the ground.

"Master Mu En!" shouted Qi Yun Xiao. Even if they were strong, they didn"t attack immediately. They first wanted to get close to Lin Feng before they captured him.

Lin Feng saw Master Mi and immediately understood that his ruse had ended. Now they wanted to control him too.

"Master Qi Yun Xiao, what brings you here?" asked Lin Feng pretending he wasn"t worried.

"Master Mu En, we want to introduce you to a guest of honor." said Qi Yun Xiao. They kept walking towards Lin Feng while talking.

"Stop." shouted Lin Feng in a sharp way. Qi Yun Xiao and the others suddenly stopped. Then they looked at Lin Feng and said, "Master Mu En, what"s wrong?"

"If you want to introduce someone to me, you can do it from there." said Lin Feng. Qi Yun Xiao looked at Lin Feng, guessing that from his sudden change in temperament that they"d been found out.

"Hehe." Qi Yun Xiao smiled in a cold way. Suddenly, he released cosmic energies. He didn"t need to hide anything anymore since Mu En understood what was going on.

"Master Mu En, you pretended to be a disciple from the Everlasting Palace, but why?" asked Qi Yun Xiao directly.

"To cause trouble of course. For example, I got you and the Palace of Medicinal Kings to become enemies." said Lin Feng smiling.

"We expected as much." said Qi Yun Xiao in a cold way. "Why did you do that?"

"I enjoy creating chaos." said Lin Feng, giggling like a mad man.

"I see. But now you"ll have to stay here forever." said Qi Yun Xiao. He then threw himself at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng jumped and suddenly, golden lights flashed underneath his feet.

"Prevent them from escaping." said Qi Yun Xiao. He shook his hand and suddenly, a gigantic hand formed and grabbed Lin Feng. However, at that moment, Muyi appeared in front of Lin Feng and punched the air. It became distorted before lights surrounded Lin Feng and Muyi. Those golden lights then disappeared.

"Deployment spell!" the hand broke the pavilion into pieces but the lit pattern under Lin Feng"s feet was still there. Lin Feng had carved an empty s.p.a.ce deployment spell which could teleport things.

"Go now, chase them!" Master Mi suddenly started running down the fake mountain. Lin Feng"s deployment spell wasn"t very powerful, so it could only allow him to teleport a short distance. He was probably still in Celestial Qi Castle"s territory.

They had guessed right, even though he hadn"t managed to cast a full teleportation deployment spell, it was still capable. Lin Feng was teleported near the central area but was immediately upset after he noticed some guards were protecting the shattering deployment spell.

Emperor Dong, Qi Yun Sheng and the others looked at Lin Feng and Muyi in a cold way.

"Master Muyi." said Lin Feng. Muyi punched the air, his punch emitted whistling sounds and caused s.p.a.ce to become distorted.

"Broken s.p.a.ce cosmic energy, be careful!" said Emperor Dong while jumping forwards. Lights surrounded them, but the broken s.p.a.ce energy was too powerful and broke their protection.

"Back!" those people moved back, but then Lin Feng threw talismans at them.

"Explode!" shouted Lin Feng furiously. Emperor Dong and the others rose up in the air, wanting to escape the talismans" range, but they couldn"t do anything against those talismans. However, when they rose up in the air, they realized that the talismans hadn"t exploded. Lin Feng had fooled them!

"Stop him!" shouted Qi Yun Sheng in the distance. However, Lin Feng was already at the center. He put both hands on the ground and suddenly, his deployment spell became dazzling as marks appeared. In a short time, all of Celestial Qi Castle"s territory became dazzling.

"Dodge! Everybody fly higher up in the air!" shouted Qi Yun Sheng extremely loudly. Then they rose up in the air while Qi Yun Sheng and Emperor Dong had already started escaping. They both released empty s.p.a.ce cosmic energy to move even faster.

"I"ll let you enjoy the deployment spell a bit more!" said Lin Feng, fully activating the deployment spell just like he had the other day.

"How can we escape?" Muyi was next to Lin Feng while all the strong cultivators from Celestial Qi Castle were escaping and releasing empty s.p.a.ce energies. They were extremely fast, much faster than the cultivators from the Palace of Medicinal Kings before. Therefore, if they didn"t manage to kill those people with this attack, then they"d be in trouble.

"There!" said Lin Feng jumping. Suddenly, destructive energies emerged but this time he attacked the ground, creating a gigantic abyssal hole.

"You also cast a deployment spell which pointed downwards!" Muyi was astonished, he couldn"t believe his eyes.

"It"s another shattering deployment spell which I created at the same time as the other one." said Lin Feng. "Let"s go. Celestial Qi Castle won"t let us off, so we can"t waste time."

Chapter 1604: Emperor Qi"s Heart

Outside of Celestial Qi Castle"s territory, people raised their heads and saw Lin Feng"s spell activate again. What was going on? Why was Master Mu En"s deployment spell activated?

After the deployment spell slowly weakened, the crowd saw a group of people from Celestial Qi Castle in the sky. They looked furious and they were staring at the gigantic abyssal hole.

"Celestial Qi Castle has been damaged once again, and what is Master Mi doing there?" thought some people when they recognized the guy wearing a mask. They knew that Master Mi was very strong and had a high status within Celestial Qi Castle.

"Maybe Master Mi wants to control Master Mu En, and then Master Mu En activated the deployment spell and left." Someone reasoned.

"Don"t let him escape!" shouted Master Mi. He had seen how explosive Lin Feng"s deployment spell was and he knew how much of a threat Lin Feng posed to them. But even so, he still didn"t know why Lin Feng had plotted against them. They could only find that out after they captured him.

"Go and chase them, I"ll go inform people from the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness so that we can close the city." shouted Qi Yun Xiao while empty s.p.a.ce energies surrounded his body.

Even though people were far away, cultivators could hear very well, so they heard what Master Mi said clearly. As they had thought, Master Mi wanted to control Master Mu En. How come Celestial Qi Castle was acting against the Everlasting Palace?

The Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness wasn"t far from Celestial Qi Castle and Qi Yun Sheng was quick. It didn"t take long for him to reach the depths of the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness. "Qi Yun Xiao wants to announce something terrible!"

"Qi Yun Xiao, what"s going on?" asked a medium-level emperor.

"Master Mu En isn"t from the Everlasting Palace, he lied. His goal was to cause us trouble by making us all enemies. Now, he has been uncovered and is trying to escape. We need help, we need to close the city and prevent him from leaving. Maybe we can stop him in Buzhou Mountain." said Qi Yun Xiao.

Cough… Zhou Tian Xiao was very surprised to hear all that!

The ground shook as Zhou Tian Xiao released golden holy Qi in the form of a sharp sword. He had knelt before Mu En and the latter had told him to p.i.s.s off. He couldn"t describe how upset he was now.

"Are you sure?" asked the medium-level emperor from the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness. Mu En had humiliated them a few times, then they had apologized to him, and now Celestial Qi Castle was telling them that he wasn"t from the Everlasting Palace. It was too much to take in at once.

"Brother Zhou, do you think I would joke about something like this?" said Qi Yun Xiao in a grave and solemn way.

He then left, wanting nothing more than to kill Muyi and Mu En.

Qi Yun Xiao was right. Lin Feng and Muyi were moving in the dark, rather slowly though. Once they came out, they appeared in the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness and found that Qi Yun Lei and Emperor Dong were there already. Of course, at that moment, Lin Feng and Muyi had already changed their faces. The new faces Lin Feng and Muyi were using were faces Lin Feng had already used in the small world, but in the great world, almost no one could  recognize them. They also changed their clothes, just in case.

"Lin Feng, you go first." said Muyi to Lin Feng using telepathy. Lin Feng nodded. Emperor Dong immediately noticed that Lin Feng was a cultivator of the eighth Zun Qi layer, so he fixedly stared at him for a while, but then he noticed that Lin Feng"s Qi was filled with life Qi and it wasn"t that powerful. After thinking about it, Emperor Dong gave up thinking that he was Mu En.

Muyi followed Lin Feng from a distance as to reduce any suspicions. He had admired Lin Feng before, but these masks were also praiseworthy. Of course, Lin Feng was also an expert at concealing his ident.i.ty. He was releasing life energy on purpose, to fool people like Emperor Dong.

Lin Feng didn"t move too fast, trying to act like he was an average cultivator.

"Oh no, Celestial Qi Castle has joined hands with the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness. If they seal the area, then we"re going to be in trouble." thought Lin Feng.

"Master Muyi, we can"t leave because they"re sealing the area." said Lin Feng to Muyi using telepathy.

The nine great celestial castles had an interesting geographical characteristic in which the only way to leave was through the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness.

"It is very dangerous." thought Lin Feng. If the strong cultivators from the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness attacked, he"d be doomed.

"They can"t seal the area forever. Let"s just wait here." said Muyi indifferently. They had already changed their faces and there were billions of people in that city. With time, they would wear down their defenses.

While they were talking, a mirror flashed.

"That mirror!" Luckily, Lin Feng and Muyi had changed their faces, otherwise that mirror would have found them just now.

"Master Muyi, let"s find a guest house to stay at." said Lin Feng using telepathy. The city center of the nine great celestial castles and the buffer zone were already chaotic. Master Mu En wasn"t a disciple of the Everlasting Palace and Celestial Qi Castle was chasing him, so the Palace of Medicinal Kings also started looking for them after they heard the news. The white-bearded emperor was exceptionally upset.

A few hours later, between the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness and the buffer zone, the strong cultivator from Celestial Qi Castle put his mirror away with a look of defeat.

"Can"t you find them?" asked Qi Yun Lei.

"I looked at the entire buffer zone and the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness, but I can"t find them. I"m guessing that they must have used a spell to change their faces, maybe an illusion. Of course, maybe they went to another castle, but I don"t think that"s the case." he explained.

"Hmph! Celestial Qi Castle is ridiculous. First, they made friends with the deployment spell caster and now they"re causing us all so much trouble. Celestial Qi Castle is a joke." said the white-bearded emperor from the Palace of Medicinal Kings mockingly. He wouldn"t forget about what Celestial Qi Castle had done to them anytime soon.

At that moment, Emperor Qi"s eyes flashed with insight. He suddenly thought of someone who could change his face, how could he ever forget that person? The only problem was that person probably had the strength of the ninth Zun Qi layer already after all this time.

"Celestial Qi Castle, Palace of Medicinal Kings, Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness." Emperor Qi was thinking.

"But deployment spells…" thought Emperor Qi. His heart was racing. Bronze plates… Back then, Lin Feng had obtained the Everlasting Bronze Plates, and there were rumors that some people had found the Great Imperial Everlasting Palace.

"Deployment spells, indeed, he didn"t level up because he studied deployment spells!" thought Emperor Qi. Deployment spells were difficult to learn but Lin Feng was extremely talented. If he had obtained the Everlasting Celestial Emperor"s deployment spells, then he could that would explain everything.

Chapter 1605: Plot

Emperor Dong saw that Emperor Qi looked strange, so he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Emperor Qi"s heart was racing, but he was sure he was right. Had Lin Feng already become a terrifying deployment spell caster?

"Father, I think that Mu En might be someone we know." said Emperor Qi.

"Who?" Qi Yun Xiao immediately stood in front of Emperor Qi.

"Lin Feng." said Emperor Qi. The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Of course, he remembered Lin Feng, that obstinate and unruly guy Emperor Shen Yu had taken away. He had reappeared almost two years later with the Yao Ye Amulet and was even more arrogant than before.

"Lin Feng." The white-bearded emperor looked furious.

Zhou Tian Xiao released golden holy Qi unintentionally after he remembered kneeling down to him.

"Why do you think it"s Lin Feng?" Qi Yun Xiao and the others were getting upset just thinking about it.

"Lin Feng has some techniques which allow him to change his face and Qi. Besides, he doesn"t like Celestial Qi Castle, the Palace of Medicinal Kings and the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness. Lin Feng made those people from the Palace of Medicinal Kings kneel down to him before."

Emperor Qi glanced at the white-bearded emperor. The white-bearded emperor nodded as he remembered that.

"Besides, back then, Lin Feng had only broken through to the eighth Zun Qi layer and during the past three years, he hasn"t progressed. That would make sense since if he"d been studying deployment spells the entire time. In the end, when he saw us and Master Mi, he immediately understood what was going on and used a deployment spell to escape. He recognized Master Mi because he is Lin Feng, he knows who Master Mi and what he does." explained Emperor Qi.

"Lin Feng managed to learn so much about deployment spells in just three years?" asked Qi Yun Xiao.

"Master, I remember something that happened some years ago. Back then Lin Feng had only broken through to the Tian Qi layer." said Emperor Qi. He then continued, "Back then, in the small world, in Fortune Shrine, the Diviner told Lin Feng his future would certainly be incredible and that he had very rare abilities."

"I see, if that"s the case then we have to kill him, no matter the cost." said Qi Yun Xiao.

"Since it"s Lin Feng, do you know what we should do against him?" asked Qi Yun Xiao to Emperor Dong and Emperor Qi. They knew Lin Feng the best since they had lived in the small world.

"Unless he shows up willingly, I"m not sure there"s anything we can do." said Emperor Qi.

"Willingly?" asked Qi Yun Xiao frowning. "He"s not stupid, he won"t come out to commit suicide."

"We can try something else then." said Emperor Qi. "You control some of Lin Feng"s disciples and friends. Threaten them and maybe then Lin Feng will show up."

"I don"t think he"d take such risks for a few friends." said Qi Yun Xiao. Cultivators cherished their own lives, not others".

"Master, we can try. We can give him a few days and if he doesn"t show up, we"ll kill his friends. We can kill one person each day. After we kill two people, if he still hasn"t show up, then that means he won"t show up at all. We should only kill the weakest ones, so that we still have the strongest ones under our control." said Qi Qian Xing.

Qi Yun Xiao nodded, "Alright, let"s try that. Let"s disperse and in three days, if Lin Feng still hasn"t shown up, we can kill his friends."

"Roger, Master. We"ll spread the news." said Emperor Qi and the others. Would Lin Feng show up though?

"Lin Feng, if you show up, we"ll bury you alive." thought Zhou Tian Xiao.

At that moment, Lin Feng was resting in a guest house while making talismans. He had to prepare himself for the worst. He didn"t know about Emperor Qi"s evil plot just yet.

Muyi stayed in a room next to Lin Feng"s, but he wasn"t in his room. Instead, he walked around and listened to people"s conversations. With his strength, he could easily leave. Besides, Celestial Qi Castle wanted Lin Feng, not him. However, he had become good friends with Lin Feng since they left the small world together.

A few hours later, Muyi came back to the guest house with some bad news. People were plotting against Lin Feng. He didn"t know that Lin Feng"s friends were imprisoned in Celestial Qi Castle. Now it made sense that Lin Feng hated them.

Muyi walked to Lin Feng"s courtyard to tell him about it. Lin Feng would have to make his own decision about what they"d do.

Muyi knocked at Lin Feng"s door.

"Come in." said Lin Feng. He stopped making talismans as Muyi came in. Once he recognized Muyi, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Master Muyi, what are you doing here?"

Muyi and Lin Feng had agreed that they had to stay alone to reduce any suspicions about them.

"Lin Feng, do you have any friends imprisoned in Celestial Qi Castle?" asked Muyi. Lin Feng nodded, "Master Muyi, how do you know?"

"Celestial Qi Castle is plotting against you. They said that in three days, if you don"t go to Celestial Qi Castle, they"ll kill your friends, one each day."

Lin Feng visibly shuddered in anger after heard Muyi. His eyes turned pitch-black and some Qi emerged from his body involuntarily.

"Celestial Qi Castle!" Lin Feng clenched his fists.

"Emperor Dong or Emperor Qi." said Lin Feng while grinding his teeth. They were the only ones who knew him well enough.

Muyi saw Lin Feng"s reaction, so he understood what he was thinking. He asked, "What do you intend to do, Lin Feng?"

Lin Feng hesitated.

If he showed up, he wouldn"t be able to escape, but if he didn"t go, his friends would die.

Lin Feng smiled and asked, "Master Muyi, what would you do if you were me?"

"I don"t know." said Muyi shaking his head.

"Master Muyi, you go back. I"ll continue making these talismans." said Lin Feng. Muyi nodded and left the room, "Lin Feng, relax, don"t let the outside world influence you. You"re very talented, and someday you"ll reach the clouds. When that day comes, you"ll be able to get your revenge."

Then, Muyi closed the door and left Lin Feng alone.
