Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Jiuyou acknowledged the order: "Yes, Master!"

The next second, he flashed into his Personal Space.

Leaving in a grand, swaggering manner would inevitably be noticed by the Immortal Sect disciples, inviting unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, there were multiple Teleportation Arrays inside the Personal Space, allowing him to leave this place for elsewhere even faster.

His figure stepped into the Teleportation Array, and as light and shadow interwove back and forth, he immediately distanced himself from the Dongting Immortal Sect.

Xu Zhangqing, meanwhile, returned his attention to the seedlings, infusing Wood Spirit Qi and starlight into the Star Core Zichen, his whole person exceptionally focused.

But not long after, he closed his eyes and activated the Shared Vision with the Spirit Plant Puppet.

Consciousness connected; everything Xu Jiuyou saw was clearly presented.

This move neither delayed tending to the spiritual plants nor hindered real-time control over the progress of finding Lin Feng.

……

……

A moment later, Xu Jiuyou appeared on the wasteland of Dongyu.

In the Shared Vision, Xu Zhangqing clearly saw the current chaos.

Once, although many forces occupied Dongyu, with the Dongting Immortal Sect and the Great Yue Dynasty, two top-tier forces, pressing down on them, the commoners lived in peace and the cultivators each followed their own paths.

But now, the scene was completely different.

The Dongting Immortal Sect was deeply mired in the influence of underground destabilizing factors, while the Great Yue Dynasty was at the juncture of old and new exchanging places.

The New Emperor was fatuous and tyrannical; the rest fought each other for the throne.

In a short time, beacon fires rose everywhere, and the flames of war spread to many cities.

This caused the commoners to be displaced, corpses from starvation littered the fields; it could truly be said the people could not survive.

Under such chaotic circumstances, countless newly rising forces emerged in Dongyu.

There were cultivators with a sense of justice, wanting to gather talent, pacify the chaos, and save the commoners.

There were opportunists, taking advantage of the troubled waters to fish for profit, plundering resources, oppressing the commoners, and seeking private gain in the chaotic times.

Looking out, displaced refugees could be seen everywhere on the wasteland; occasionally, cultivators in various attire could be seen shuttling back and forth.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhangqing's heart sank.

He had long resided on Qingmu Peak tending to spiritual plants; although he knew the situation in Dongyu was unstable, he never expected it had become chaotic to this extent.

Fortunately, finding Lin Feng was not difficult.

On every family member and disciple, there was a Spirit Talisman refined by Xu Zhangqing.

First, when encountering danger, it could automatically protect them.

Second, as long as the distance was not too far, he could sense them.

Xu Jiuyou followed the positioning and flew all the way.

Before long, he arrived near Luoxia Slope in the south of Dongyu.

Mountains surrounded this place; its concealment was extremely strong.

Inside existed a newly rising force, named Luoxia Palace.

One look and you could tell the name was improvised, but the members were not few.

A full hundred people, the vast majority of whom were cultivators, and Golden Core True Persons were not lacking.

In the Shared Vision, Xu Zhangqing's gaze froze.

In the crowd, a familiar figure held a Long Sword, currently dueling with several cultivators.

His figure was tall and straight, his movements fierce; it was precisely the Second Disciple, Lin Feng, whom he had not seen for a long time.

However, what surprised Xu Zhangqing was that Lin Feng was not wearing the Dongting Immortal Sect's attire, but had changed into a set of Black Tight Clothes, seemingly disguising his identity and joining this force.

"Brother Lin Feng, your Sword Art is too powerful!"

"Indeed, simply elusive and unpredictable!"

"Where, where; it's you guys letting me win!"

After a bout of dueling, the few people stopped to rest.

At this time, an old man wearing coarse hemp clothes, with a weathered face, leaning on a Wooden Staff, walked up to them: "The Great Yue Dynasty has sucked blood in Dongyu for a thousand years; the new emperor indulges in pleasure, and the rest, contending for power and profit, do not hesitate to launch wars.

How many commoner families destroyed, how many children displaced?

A few days ago, I passed by Qingshi City; after the city fell, corpses lay everywhere, even three-year-old children were not spared!"

Hearing this, Lin Feng's Right Hand gripping the Long Sword subconsciously tightened, knuckles turning white, a flash of anger crossing his eyes.

In truth, he had originally planned to return to the Dongting Immortal Sect.

After all, so many years had passed; he missed his Master, Elder Sister, and younger martial sisters dearly.

But the scenes seen along the way, even closing his eyes could not dispel them.

He not only felt anger, but also an instinctive urge to speak for the commoners and seek peace for the chaotic world.

This rotten Great Yue Dynasty has long lost its meaning of existence; only by overthrowing it can Dongyu be returned a Pure Brightness, and only then can the commoners live peaceful days.

"Overthrow the Great Yue Dynasty, return peace to the commoners!"

"Kill the fatuous monarch, pacify the chaos!"

"Overthrow the Great Yue Dynasty, kill the fatuous monarch!"

Public indignation surged all at once, and even the cultivators were excited beyond measure.

Listening to the sounds reaching his ears, Lin Feng's expression grew increasingly determined.

He stayed temporarily, joined this force, and adopted the alias "Lin Feng" — both concealing his identity as a member of the Dongting Immortal Sect and able to contribute his strength to saving the common people.

Xu Zhangqing, seeing all this through Shared Vision, was somewhat dumbfounded.

He knew the rules of the Cultivation World all too well: major sect cultivators were strictly forbidden from meddling in the disputes of the Mortal World; no matter how corrupt the Great Yue Dynasty became, it had to be handled by the Dongyu Loose Cultivators or civilian forces on their own.

Fortunately, Lin Feng was still fairly clever and did not expose his true name and identity.

Even if the matter came to light later, there would still be room to maneuver.

Things having come to this pass, Xu Zhangqing had no intention of intervening.

Everyone has the right to choose, and must also pay the price for the consequences of their choice.

Lin Feng's temperament was stubborn; once he set his mind on something, it was hard to change. Now that he had joined the force, wanting to turn back was obviously no easy matter.

While Xu Zhangqing's emotions surged, a woman appeared in the Shared Vision.

The woman wore a set of red tight-fitting attire, outlining a curvaceous figure.

Her long hair was tied up high, revealing a smooth forehead.

Her eyebrows and eyes were sharp, her bearing dashing.

Her appearance was bright and moving, yet not soft or seductive.

This person was the leader of this newly rising force, named Ling Yue.

Ling Yue walked to Lin Feng's side; her eyebrows and eyes not only softened a few degrees, but also carried a trace of hard-to-perceive appreciation: "Lin Feng, has the duel ended?"

Lin Feng gave a slight nod to her: "Palace Master, it has ended."

These days, he had personally witnessed Ling Yue's abilities.

She not only had profound cultivation, but also considerable strategy, and moreover held the common people in her heart.

The vast majority of members were won over by her personal charisma, willingly staying by her side.

Ling Yue nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Come with me, I have a few words I want to chat with you about."

Though Lin Feng was doubtful in his heart, he did not ask further, and immediately cupped his fists: "Yes."

Afterward, the two walked toward the Left Side.

Ling Yue spoke again, her tone carrying a few degrees of curiosity: "I see your cultivation is not weak, your character quite upright — absolutely no ordinary Loose Cultivator; you must have an extraordinary history."

Lin Feng hesitated a moment, then said helplessly: "Palace Master, if you have something to say, please speak directly."

Hearing this, Ling Yue probed no further: "I am very curious — after the chaos is pacified and the Great Yue Dynasty overthrown, what do you plan to do?"

Lin Feng's expression froze, and even his footsteps paused.

He could not reveal his true origins, nor his plan to return to the Dongting Immortal Sect later.

Once leaked, it would very likely implicate his Master, Elder Sister, Junior Sister, and others.

Therefore, after pondering a moment, he replied: "I am originally a lone Loose Cultivator, wandering everywhere, with no fixed place to return to.

Now seeing the common people suffer, I wished to stay and do what I can.

As for the future, if we can overthrow the Great Yue Dynasty and restore peace to Dongyu, I will continue wandering."

Ling Yue turned her head and looked at him deeply.

Knowing the other party was concealing something, yet she did not expose it.

This uprightness is precisely the main reason she appreciates, and even feels favorable toward, him!
