Chapter 261: Phoenix Immortal Sword Acknowledges Its Master

Lin Feng smiled and patted Lin Wei's head, then looked at Su Mingyue and said, "Didn't I send you a message? Why did you have to wait for me?"

"Knowing you were going to the Heaven Sword Sect, how could we possibly be at ease?" Su Mingyue said.

"Exactly," Lin Wei added.

"You can rest easy now; the Heaven Sword Sect's problems have been completely resolved," Lin Feng said.

Su Mingyue then asked curiously, "Did you take the people from the Dragon Soul and wipe out the Heaven Sword Sect?"

"Of course not."

Lin Feng smiled and explained, "The Heaven Sword Sect was actually innocent. Gao Hanyue, one of the Four Great Elders of the Hidden Demon Sect, murdered the Heaven Sword Sect Sect Leader Xiao Luoyan and took her place. Meanwhile, the Hidden Demon Sect Protector Demon Mouse killed Han Yu's junior brother Sun Shaohu, stirring up trouble from the shadows."

"So, all the trouble was caused by them; the other disciples and elders of the Heaven Sword Sect were kept in the dark. But now, those two Protectors, Demon Mouse and Demon Tiger, have died miserably at my hands, and even Gao Hanyue was defeated by me and committed suicide right in front of me."

"With that, naturally, there are no more problems."

Hearing Lin Feng say this, Su Mingyue suddenly understood.

Lin Wei laughed and said, "Brother, you are truly amazing. In just one night, you killed one Elder and two Protectors of the Hidden Demon Sect. Plus the Protector called Demon Shadow from before, the Hidden Demon Sect now only has three Elders and five Protectors left."

"I definitely hurt the Hidden Demon Sect this time, but I just don't know how they will retaliate against me," Lin Feng said.

Afterward, Lin Feng took the Phoenix Immortal Sword out of his Storage Ring.

And just as Lin Feng took the Phoenix Immortal Sword out, the pure white longsword broke free from his hand and flew straight in front of Su Mingyue.

It seemed it had already sensed the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline within Su Mingyue's body.

"This... what is this?"

Su Mingyue asked in surprise, and curiously reached her hand out toward it.

Lin Feng said, "The Heaven Sword Sect's two Top-grade Dharma Treasures—the Dragon God Sword and the Phoenix Immortal Sword—are now in my hands. The Dragon God Sword has already acknowledged me as its master, and the Phoenix Immortal Sword will, in all likelihood, also choose you as its new master."

"Why is that?" Su Mingyue was pleasantly surprised.

"Because you have the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline in your body, you silly woman."

Lin Feng said with a huff, grabbing Su Mingyue's slightly hesitant, slender hand and pressing it onto the hilt of the Phoenix Immortal Sword.

The Phoenix Immortal Sword truly did not resist, very submissively allowing Su Mingyue to hold it.

Suddenly, a look of astonishment appeared on Su Mingyue's face.

"Did the Phoenix Immortal Sword give you a sword art?" Lin Feng asked.

"How did you know?" Su Mingyue asked in surprise.

"The Dragon God Sword also gave me a sword art, called the Heavenly Dragon Descends to the World Sword; it is quite remarkable," Lin Feng explained.

Su Mingyue finally understood, and then said, "The sword art the Phoenix Immortal Sword gave me is the Heavenly Phoenix Rotation Sword; it seems very profound and mysterious."

"Then you should practice it slowly and master this sword art as soon as possible," Lin Feng said with a smile.

Two days passed by quickly.

Demon Tiger was still being interrogated, but Lin Feng had achieved a massive merit by killing the Hidden Demon Sect Elder Gao Hanyue and two Protectors.

Consequently, Lin Feng obtained a few Storage Rings from the Dragon Soul and gave one each to Su Mingyue and Lin Wei.

A Storage Ring is just a very common Dharma Treasure and doesn't count for much, but having one makes carrying items very convenient.

Moreover, since Su Mingyue and Lin Wei are both Martial Artists now, they can also use Storage Rings.

With matters here concluded, Lin Feng did not linger in Jinling any longer and set off on the return journey to Jiangbei with Su Mingyue and Lin Wei.

At the high-speed railway station, Lin Feng, Su Mingyue, and Lin Wei passed through security smoothly and boarded the train.

Just as they sat down, the train departed.

Watching the scenery receding outside the window, Su Mingyue said with some emotion, "Finally going home."

"Yes, before we knew it, it's been almost a month," Lin Feng said with a smile.

Lin Wei held Lin Feng's hand tightly and said, "Brother, after the results of Demon Tiger's interrogation come out, will you continue to track down the Hidden Demon Sect?"

"That goes without saying," Lin Feng said.

Lin Wei said softly, "Then you will definitely have to go on a long trip again soon."

"There is nothing that can be done about that," Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng, Su Mingyue, and Lin Wei chatted and laughed, and time slipped away unnoticed.

Seeing that nearly an hour had passed, suddenly, several Police Department officers wearing police uniforms appeared in this carriage.

The leading Police Department Captain said loudly, "Attention passengers, a wanted criminal has snuck onto this train and is currently hiding in this carriage. Please cooperate with our inspection."

As soon as the Police Department Captain said this, the expressions of all the passengers in the carriage changed.

Su Mingyue asked in confusion, "A wanted criminal? What wanted criminal?"

"It must be that serial killer named Jiang Ming," Lin Wei whispered.

Before Lin Feng and Su Mingyue could ask, Lin Wei continued, "You didn't pay attention to the news in Jinling, so you don't know. Half a month ago, several murder cases occurred in Jinling; the person who committed the crimes is named Jiang Ming."

"Jiang Ming was originally just an ordinary office worker, a low-level employee. One night after getting off work and returning home, he discovered his wife was actually doing that kind of thing in bed with another man, so in a fit of rage, he killed that pair of scoundrels."

"Killing one person is murder, and killing more is still murder, so Jiang Ming then killed his mother-in-law's entire family, and even returned to the company to kill several colleagues he had conflicts with, as well as the supervisor who had repeatedly insulted him."

"This Jiang Ming killed nearly ten people in total, his crimes are numerous."

Hearing Lin Wei's words, the expression on Su Mingyue's face suddenly became very complex.

Lin Feng said, "Regardless of the reason, having killed so many people, there is no turning back for him."

"Yes," Lin Wei nodded.

Those few Police Department officers were still inspecting; the leading Captain had a resolute expression and sharp eyes, and he was very vigilantly watching the movements around him.

Not long after, those few Police Department officers were about to reach Lin Feng, Su Mingyue, and Lin Wei.

So they took out their identification documents, preparing to cooperate with the inspection by the Police Department officers.

Yet unexpectedly, at this moment, a young man sitting in the back row suddenly stood up violently, grabbed a woman nearby, and locked her neck with his arm while retreating rapidly.

This sudden turn of events immediately made those Police Department officers act as if facing a great enemy, while the passengers in the carriage were so frightened they let out screams.

"Jiang Ming, you really are in this train carriage!"

"Give up your resistance; you have no way out!"

"Jiang Ming, do not make mistake after mistake!"

Those few officers from the Police Department shouted sternly and drew their guns, aiming at the wanted criminal Jiang Ming, who was holding a hostage.
