"There's no point in hiding it; the three of us did indeed come from outside."
Shen Xiaohong didn't care that his identity had been exposed, and Lin Feng and Mo Ye also looked indifferent, which made Ye Lingya breathe a sigh of relief.
"but……"
Lin Feng frowned and said, "Eating should be done quietly. It's so noisy outside, it's a bit of a nuisance."
"Brother Lin, I'm going..."
"Young Master, do you need me to take care of this?"
The two spoke in unison, then both froze, exchanged a glance, and were unsure what to do. So they both looked at Lin Feng.
Seeing this, Ye Lingya scratched his head and said, "Why don't I go? I've become quite well-known in the area lately. Even if I can't beat them into submission, I can at least stop their conflict, or at the very least make them fight somewhere else."
Lin Feng didn't speak, but instead gave Mo Ye a look.
"Understood!"
Li Jingxiao's rugged face, coupled with Mo Ye's innate fierce aura, made even a simple movement of getting up incredibly oppressive. Ye Lingya's Adam's apple bobbed as he pondered inwardly.
This Brother Lin Ye's cultivation level is probably even higher than he sensed.
After all, all three of them possessed magical artifacts that concealed their cultivation levels, and Ye Lingya could only rely on their auras to sense their cultivation levels. Now it seemed that this was not accurate, so it was best not to act rashly, lest he be noticed and displease others.
The shopkeeper trembled behind the counter, somewhat relieved that he hadn't attacked the three distinguished guests. With the martial artist's skill, even if all his rabble rushed over, they wouldn't be a match for him!
Sure enough, as soon as Mo Ye walked out of the inn, Ye Lingya estimated that it would only take a few breaths before the cursing outside completely stopped, leaving only the sound of everyone hurrying away.
A strong smell of blood wafted in from outside the door, but perhaps Mo Ye didn't want to spoil Lin Feng's appetite, so he quickly used magic to lock the smell of blood outside the door.
When he re-entered the inn, he was spotless, with not a trace of blood, indicating that he had acted cleanly and efficiently.
The shopkeeper peeked out and was instantly terrified.
He'd been doing business in this area for so many years, what strange and bizarre ways of dying hadn't he seen? But this was the first time he'd ever seen anyone die so horribly!
That young man really doesn't know his own strength!
He strode out of the inn, looked around, and then pulled a token from the pool of blood on the ground—
These are the symbols of the martial artists' respective factions. Just like the square scarf he wears around his head, which is the symbol of the Crossing Water Sect disciples, and the token in his hand has a large knife roughly engraved on it.
The shopkeeper was startled and pulled another token with a completely different design from the pool of blood.
The token is engraved with a sword.
"The Sea Saber Sect and the Sea Sword Sect!"
His terrified voice reached Lin Feng and the others' ears.
Ye Lingya frowned, indicating that he had likely heard of these two major forces.
"Brother Lin, what about the Sea Saber Sect and the Sea Sword Sect..."
"Cough cough."
Mo Ye coughed twice and said with a forced smile, "Brother Ye, the young master just said that we should eat quietly. If you have anything to say, you can say it after you finish this plate of beef. I think the young master will have the patience to listen to you."
Ye Lingya was stunned. The moment he was stared at by Mo Ye, a cold sweat broke out on his back, as if he were being stared at by a large beast, making the hairs on his body stand on end.
Ye Lingya didn't even dare to answer Mo Ye's question, because he wasn't sure if his reply would bother Lin Feng.
He hadn't had such a silent meal in a long time.
After finishing the beef and wine, Lin Feng put down his chopsticks and a friendly smile appeared on his face: "Brother Ye, the shopkeeper just mentioned the Sea Blade Sect and the Sea Sword Sect. I'm very interested in them. Could you explain them in more detail?"
Ye Lingya breathed a sigh of relief. The moment Lin Feng spoke, he felt the oppressive aura surrounding him dissipate instantly, and his breathing became much easier.
These three... are definitely not to be underestimated!
But this is for the best; only in this way can Ye Lingya benefit from following them.
He then explained in detail: "It's like this. More than ten years ago, the Sea Blade Sect and the Sea Sword Sect were originally a large force called the Sea Spirit Sect. However, the sect leader died unexpectedly. The two most powerful elders in the sect were named Zhang Haidao and Zhang Haijian. These two elders were originally brothers, but they had a great disagreement over the development of the Sea Spirit Sect and eventually went their separate ways. Elder Zhang Haidao and his supporters established the Sea Blade Sect, while Elder Zhang Haijian, in order to have the resources to compete with his brother, also established the Sea Sword Sect with his supporters."
"From that time on, the two powers have been completely hostile to each other, and now they are mortal enemies. If they meet on the street, they will definitely fight to the death."
Ye Lingya couldn't help but sigh as he said, "Actually, it's more accurate to call these forces in the Endless Sea sects gangs than sects. See that old man who runs the inn? This old guy wasn't originally a disciple of the Crossing Water Sect. He just opened an inn nearby, made some money, and then made offerings to the elders of the Crossing Water Sect, which is why he became a disciple of the Crossing Water Sect."
"Most of the people wearing square headscarves that you see here joined the Crossing Water Sect in a similar way. I estimate that even the sect leader of the Crossing Water Sect doesn't know exactly how many disciples they have."
Ye Lingya shook his head with amusement, which was also the reason why he refused to join any faction.
Instead of messing around with all this nonsense, it's better to focus on cultivation and improving your cultivation level – that's the right path!
"I see... You mean, since we killed the disciples of these two major sects, they will definitely send people to cause trouble later, right?"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and asked.
"That's exactly right."
Ye Lingya sighed.
“The three of you, Zhang Haidao and Zhang Haijian are now both at the third level of the Divine Soul Realm. If you’re not confident, I might as well take you to other areas to avoid being harassed by those thugs.”
“Level three of the Divine Soul Realm…that is indeed a bit troublesome.”
Shen Xiaohong nodded calmly.
Ye Lingya was perfectly aware of the unspoken meaning behind his words—
The third level of the Divine Soul Realm is just a bit troublesome.
Who exactly are these three people?
"You're so righteous! We've offended a powerful force, and not only are you not afraid, you're even going to run away with us?"
Lin Feng asked with a smile.
"Alas, I don't know about others, but for me, Ye Lingya, the one thing I can never betray in this world is the word 'righteousness'!"
He pounded his chest loudly.
"Brother Ye is indeed a man of character, worthy of friendship, however..."
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "It's probably too late to leave now."
Bang!
The inn's main door was kicked open, and a menacing-looking middle-aged man led a group of martial artists into the inn. He grabbed the innkeeper by the collar and asked in a deep voice, "Who killed our men!"
