Seeing Lin Feng fall, Ouyang He, who was standing nearby, came to his senses and his face turned pale with shock. He looked up at the mountaintop, which was only a few hundred meters away, and suddenly drew his broken sword, his body falling down with it.
He caught up with the falling Lin Feng in a very short time, regardless of the rules of using internal force. If the two of them landed at this speed, they would probably be lucky to even get a complete corpse!
Without time to think, Ouyang He used his internal energy to activate his lightness skill, and the speed at which the two fell noticeably slowed down.
"Ouyang He, what are you doing? Don't give up halfway because of me!"
"Stop talking nonsense! If you lose your life, you lose everything!"
Ouyang He shouted, not wanting to be distracted, as the two of them were still moving very fast.
Boom!
The two fell to the ground, creating a large crater. Ouyang He adjusted his position so that their heads did not hit the ground directly, thus preventing them from dying on the spot!
Although the two did not die, all their bones were broken, rendering them useless even if they survived!
Lin Feng said with a bitter smile, "Fool, you're a complete fool, Ouyang He. There was a bright future ahead, but you chose to return to darkness and end up like this. It would have been better if I had just died. Even if I had lived, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life!"
Ouyang He chuckled faintly, coughing up blood.
"Ahem! Jade may be broken but its whiteness cannot be tarnished; bamboo may be split but its integrity cannot be destroyed. A scholar will die for one who understands him!"
Lin Feng fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then sighed and said, "I owe you so much in this life that I can never repay you. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely repay you with my life!"
Footsteps approached, and the newcomers were the four women.
"Your life isn't over yet, do you want to die that badly?"
Wu Xingyun's voice reached their ears, but neither of them could turn their heads; only the strength of martial artists kept them alive.
"Senior, we didn't persevere to the end, and now we're crippled. We've let you down!"
"Don't you hate me? After all, I'm the one who made you like this."
The two smiled bitterly and said, "All the paths we've chosen are our own. Even if we made mistakes, it's because we didn't think things through enough. We can't blame anyone else!"
"You're quite open-minded. Fine then. I'll erect a tombstone for you. In your next life, you'd better not overestimate yourselves."
After saying that, the four women turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
As the footsteps faded away, Ouyang He and Lin Feng were filled with resentment, but could only look up at the sky and sigh.
"Brother Ouyang, I've caused you so much suffering."
"Stop talking. It's just that we're unlucky. But it's better this way. We don't have to carry this heavy burden in our hearts anymore. I hope we can be brothers again in the next life."
"A true friend is hard to find in life. With you by my side, at least I won't be alone on my journey to the afterlife."
Rain began to fall from the sky at some unknown time, accompanied by rumbling thunder. The raindrops grew larger and larger. The two, already severely injured, were filled with suicidal thoughts. They felt their bodies growing colder and colder, knowing that they were about to leave this world.
"Brother Lin, this heavy rain came at just the right time. It's been a long time since I've been able to relax and enjoy the rain like this."
"Isn't it Brother Lin? Brother Lin?"
Ouyang He sensed that the people around him had gradually stopped breathing, and grief welled up in his heart. He could no longer tell whether the water on his face was rain or tears.
"Alas, death is like a lamp going out; this life is over. All the hatred for family and country is in vain. I was so foolish before!"
Ouyang He seemed to have seen through the ways of the world before his death, and couldn't help but sigh.
But his thoughts began to wander, and the surroundings grew darker and darker, with only a vague glimpse of four figures appearing.
...
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the depths of space, there exists a vast palace complex.
Amidst swirling clouds and mist, the surrounding fierce winds were completely isolated. Inside, cranes cried out in unison, and strange light filled the entire palace complex, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
The palace complex also features lakes, mountains, birdsong, and fragrant flowers, resembling a fairyland filled with tranquility and a sacred atmosphere.
In the innermost courtyard, Meng Fan lived. In the courtyard, cranes flew, white deer frolicked, and exotic flowers and plants competed for beauty.
The Lingquan Waterfall cascades down from the mountainside, splashing up sparkling water droplets, creating a scene resembling a fairyland!
Meng Fan didn't spend much money on this palace complex. Most of the buildings were made of the simplest wood, and the mountains and rivers were free. Meng Fan simply used his great magic to teleport them here.
However, since Meng Fan has lived here for a long time and it has been nourished by the immortal energy, everything here is extraordinary, and even the animals in the mountains and rivers have the tendency to transform.
Meng Fan picked up his brush and gave this palace complex a very common name: Cloud Palace.
Towering high into the clouds, it symbolizes loftiness and transcendence.
The original name "Golden and Silver Gate" was just a joke by Meng Fan, and he didn't care about it later. Now that he thinks about it, it's too vulgar, so he waved his hand and renamed it "Cloud Palace".
The three characters "Yunxiao Palace" were also written by Meng Fan himself, full of Taoist charm.
The Three Thousand Laws are contained within, and the Heavenly Dao is revealed. If outsiders were to see this, they would be utterly astonished!
Meng Fan's abode is accompanied by the Heavenly Dao, which completely overturns the existing thinking of cultivators!
Cao Zhengchun stood beside Meng Fan as always, bowing and saying, "Young Master, the elders of Yunxiao Palace are currently leading their disciples to Tianshan one after another, and they will arrive soon."
"Let all the elders come and listen to the teachings. Those who are invited may also enter. The remaining people from Yunxiao Palace will challenge the formation on Tianshan Mountain. Only those who pass the formation may enter Yunxiao Palace."
"I will obey the decree!"
...
At this moment, there were many figures on Mount Tian, and cultivators flew in from time to time.
"Haha, how have you been, Fellow Daoist Jiang Mu?"
Dugu Jiansheng and Baiyue arrived together and greeted Jiang Mu, who had been meditating at the top of Tianshan Mountain.
Upon seeing familiar faces arrive, Jiang Mu immediately greeted them and said, "All is well. I wonder where you two fellow Daoists have been cultivating all these years? Why haven't you visited my Ziwei Sect? I've truly missed you."
Dugu returned the bow and said, "We have been teaching disciples these past few years and have been unable to leave. We hope you will understand, fellow Daoist."
"Oh? You two fellow Daoists have actually taken on disciples? Where are they? May I meet who is so fortunate?"
"Of course, Qin Feifan, come and greet Grandmaster Jiang."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure flew in from afar at incredible speed; it was none other than Qin Feifan of the Longgan Dynasty.
"Qin Feifan has met with Grandmaster Jiang. I have long admired your name. I am only now coming to pay my respects to you, senior. Please forgive me."
At this moment, Qin Feifan still had that slightly plump figure, but his internal cultivation was much higher than before. The true dragon energy in his body was intertwined and showed a hint of breaking through the sky, which meant that he had obviously achieved success in his cultivation.
"This lad is remarkable. He possesses the aura of a true dragon within him, and his body is protected by the Purple Star, making him unbreakable even among those of the same realm. He truly is a dragon among men!"
Qin Feifan humbly replied, "This humble one dares not take credit. It's not that I'm particularly talented, but rather that my two masters have provided excellent guidance."
The group exchanged greetings and chatted amiably.
As for why Qin Feifan would become the disciple of Dugu Jiansheng and Baiyue, it's because the two were meticulous and had long considered Qin Feifan as their chosen disciple.
They were well aware of Qin Feifan's talent, and after some maneuvering, they successfully accepted him as a disciple. Over the past ten years, they have taught him according to his aptitude.
He upgraded Qin Feifan's True Dragon Heavenly Technique multiple times and eventually incorporated various immortal techniques, which shows his painstaking efforts!
