Chapter 189: Once This Fight Is Over, We Go Home

On the Shenxing Boat, Lin Feng stood at the prow, gazing into the distance.

The towering, rugged mountains looked extraordinarily mystical.

Halfway up the lofty peaks, clouds and mist shrouded everything, lending an air of great mystery.

Immortal cranes danced through the air, their cries carrying a clear, ethereal quality.

Ahead lay the location of Haoran Sect, the strongest sect in the Western Six States.

"Clan Leader, once we finish this fight we can go home, right?"

Lin Xuan munched on a Pill, her little face flushed red. Recently she had obtained quite a number of Advanced Pills — the ones she had already eaten were too many to count.

To the point that medicinal properties had accumulated in her body.

What decent person would feed someone like this?

Even a Martial Dao Sacred Body has its limits.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan was about to face Tudi from the major powerful sects of the Western Region, so her consumption was also enormous.

At this moment, Lin Feng looked at the System Interface. The Advancement Quest column had already reached 【5/6】, meaning that disciplining Haoran Sect one more time would complete the Mission.

Thinking of the title he was about to obtain, the corners of Lin Feng's mouth curved upward.

"This fight probably won't be that simple." Lin Feng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, an expression of calm composure on his face.

Regardless, Haoran Sect was the First Force of the Western Region, and their strength had never been fully revealed. In nearly every previous Heaven's Pride Grand Meeting, Haoran Sect had obtained the majority of the Lingxiao Treasure Land.

Accumulated over the years, the benefits Haoran Sect had gained were beyond imagination.

Therefore, Lin Feng did not look down on Haoran Sect.

"Huh? They actually didn't activate the Sect-Protecting Grand Array."

Lin Xuan watched the Shenxing Boat sail into Haoran Sect. Countless Tudi below raised their heads one after another, seemingly showing no great reaction to the Lin Family's arrival.

"It is rather strange."

Lin Feng's gaze sharpened as he looked toward the distant mountain peak.

On that mountain peak stood a resplendent great hall.

In front of the great hall was a vast martial arena, where quite a number of people were already waiting.

Haoran Sect was not at all surprised by the Lin Family's arrival.

They didn't even show any intention of obstructing.

"They're here! They really came!"

"The Lin Family really is going to fight through the entire Western Six States!"

"Too arrogant — they've already beaten five houses in a row!"

In the martial arena, it wasn't only Haoran Sect's people; forces from all sides of Chihuo Province had all come here.

Even Yunxiao Sect, Hugu Valley, and Wanggui Gate had sent Observer Envoys.

Every notable force in the Western Six States had already gathered at this place.

The Lin Family's Shenxing Boat descended, and at this moment, gazes converged upon them.

Lin Feng brought Lin Xuan and leapt down from the Shenxing Boat. On one side of the martial arena, someone was already waiting.

"Lin Feng, bringing Clan Member Lin Xuan, has come to pay a visit to the mountain!"

This voice surged mightily, piercing straight through the clouds.

The voice was like thunder, spreading in all directions. The people sent by the various forces wore composed expressions. They all knew perfectly well what the Lin Family's purpose was today, and they also wanted to see whether the First Force of the Western Region could withstand the Lin Family's fierce assault.

If they lost, the power rankings of the entire Western Six States would likely be overturned.

Within Haoran Sect, a white-haired old man stepped forward.

He laughed loudly, his eyes full of mockery, and shouted: "This old man is Sun Qianniu, Sect Master of Haoran Sect. I have been waiting for your Lin Family for a long time."

"Lin Feng, you are brazen beyond measure — how dare you so overbearingly and unreasonably challenge the various forces."

"Such an arrogant, contemptuous act has already aroused public outrage. Today, my Haoran Sect formally declares war on your Lin Family!"

At these words, the people from Yunxiao Sect, Wanggui Gate, and Hugu Valley all froze in stunned silence.

Is Haoran Sect really this bold?

Declaring war outright like this — this is going to be a fight to the death.

"Hiss…"

"I never expected things would escalate to this point."

"What's the big deal? The Lin Family has gone too far. If we don't eliminate them, the Western Six States will never know peace."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, erupting in an uproar.

But this was all within reason, and no one felt it was excessive — they were only surprised that Haoran Sect could be so confident. After all, the Lin Family had consecutively challenged the Five Major Forces.

Even Haoran Sect couldn't reach such a height, right!

Lin Feng's brow furrowed slightly as he looked at Sun Qianniu with some surprise.

"Old man, I've only come to pay a visit to the mountain, yet you want to declare war — has your mind gone soft with age?"

At these words, the many elders and Tudi of Haoran Sect roared in fury.

"How dare you, insolent brat! How can you speak to our Sect Master like that!"

"Death is at your door, yet you still dare act so wantonly."

"Later I'll split your tongue into pieces — let's see if you can still talk tough."

The clamor of the crowd made Lin Feng suddenly sense something was off. Haoran Sect was far too calm — a calm that was somewhat terrifying.

Lin Feng had long anticipated Haoran Sect's reaction, but he absolutely could not believe they would be so composed, as if they already had certain victory against him.

When things deviate from the norm, there must be something fishy!

"Clan Leader, are we fighting or not? I can barely hold it in anymore."

Lin Xuan's face flushed crimson; she had taken too many pills, and now the power inside her was about to burst out.

Without waiting for Lin Feng to respond, the Haoran Sect's sect master flicked a finger.

Several beams of blue light rose from the edge of the martial arena, spreading toward the sky, forming a birdcage. Those blue pillars of light were indestructible, splitting off into dense threads that wrapped the entire birdcage airtight.

The entire martial arena became Lin Feng's prison.

"Hahaha! This time, you can't run!" Sun Qianniu laughed savagely, his heart already surging with killing intent.

The surrounding observing factions retreated one after another; they were all outside the cage.

The people from the major sects were visibly stirred—if they could truly take down Lin Feng, they'd still have a chance to obtain the Lingxiao Treasure Land. The key was that killing Lin Feng would let them vent their pent-up rage!

"That's all?" Lin Feng gave a cold laugh.

After holding back for so long, the Haoran Sect only has this kind of trick?

"Hmph! Lin Feng, today I won't let you pay your respects at the mountain. If you want to challenge my Haoran Sect, then come challenge me!" Sun Qianniu roared. His aged body floated into the air, a White Robe flapping loudly in the wind.

Everyone was startled.

This was the Haoran Sect's sect master personally making a move.

"Haha! Knowing full well the Lin Family's heavenly maiden is hard to deal with, the Haoran Sect simply showed its hand."

"If they want to fight, they send the old one."

"This Haoran Sect master is a Top-Tier Power about to step into the Nirvana Realm!"

The discussions from all sides made Lin Feng raise an eyebrow. He always felt something was off, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. Since that was the case, he could only take it one step at a time.

"Very well, it's been a long time since I've stretched my limbs. I'll use you to warm up."

Lin Feng said calmly. He slowly floated into the air, with not the slightest fluctuation of Spirit Qi on his body, looking just like a Mortal with no Cultivation.

Sun Qianniu, on the other hand, couldn't suppress the outward release of his Spirit Qi. Just from this scene alone, in terms of control over Spirit Qi, Lin Feng had the complete victory.

"Hmph! Putting on an act." Sun Qianniu snorted coldly.

Today he had absolute confidence in keeping Lin Feng here, which was why the thought of personally making a move arose in his heart.

If he could take down Lin Feng, it would greatly help intimidate the Western Six States.

From now on, for hundreds of years to come, probably no one would dare challenge the Haoran Sect's might.

"One move, this sect master will kill you!"

Sun Qianniu's eyes flickered, and he pointed a finger.

"Desolation, Shenxuan Finger!"
