Chapter 1344 The Key to Breaking Through the Shackles
Chapter 1344 The Key to Breaking Through the Shackles
Amidst his chaotic thoughts, Ji Fengxing suddenly noticed that annoying figure had appeared on the back mountain of Hidden Pillar Peak.
His body soared into the air, and with a flourish, he rushed swiftly towards the back of the mountain.
Ji Fengxing locked onto Lin Feng's shadow in his mind and chased after him relentlessly, going around from the back mountain to the front gate of Yinzhu Peak, then rushing from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, and then running from the foot of the mountain to the summit.
Back and forth, rushing left and right, the two circled around Hidden Pillar Peak for half the night. As dawn broke, Lin Feng quietly left.
Ji Fengxing abandoned the pursuit, not daring to stray too far from Hidden Pillar Peak.
After returning to his meditation cave, he sat cross-legged on a futon, feeling both hatred and fear.
I also felt a little tired.
Ji Fengxing realized with despair that Elder Duan Li was probably not coming back.
He had never looked forward to this much before. Why weren't Gao Zhengqing and Mu Qianyang here yet? If things continued like this, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to outlast this young man.
After all, Ji Fengxing is of a certain age. Although his skill is high, his physical strength cannot compare with others.
Once he falls, the entire Sword Formation Sect should be wiped off the cultivation world.
A thousand-year-old tradition, yet it was destroyed in his own hands.
This crime is so serious that even if I were to die, I would not be able to face my ancestors.
Only then did Ji Fengxing realize how terrifying Lin Feng was.
This person was like a ghost, and his particularly resilient nature sent chills down his spine.
At the same time, Gao Zhengqing, the leader of the Zhengyi Sect, and Mu Qianyang, the leader of the Zhongxing Sect, opened their eyes from their cross-legged positions.
A ray of morning sunlight filtered through the treetops, dappling their bodies and bringing a refreshing feeling.
Two powerful figures in the cultivation world, after traveling for several days, finally succumbed to their physical exhaustion and agreed to rest for the night in a small grove.
Although they were hurrying along the way, they weren't actually in a big rush.
With Ji Fengxing and Duan Li present, the Sword-Shaped Gate shouldn't have any major problems.
Although they didn't expect to capture Lin Feng, they could still preserve the sect.
As long as Lin Feng's sister is still in the Sword Formation Sect, they still have a chance to reach the sect, join forces to trap Lin Feng, and finally bring this despicable murderer to justice.
"Senior Brother Gao, how are you feeling?"
Mu Qianyang stretched his limbs and turned to look at Gao Zhengqing not far away.
Gao Zhengqing was stretching his body when he heard this and smiled wryly.
"Alas, I am old, and these physical ailments cannot be recovered."
Mu Qianyang remained silent for a moment.
"Senior Brother Gao, is this the end for us?"
Gao Zhengqing turned his head to look into the distance.
"To be honest, the thin veil before my eyes is quite tough, and I'm still lacking the necessary skill. My senior uncle has always been very secretive about it... It's difficult."
Mu Qianyang nodded upon hearing this.
"This is similar to my junior brother's situation. The path of the Great Dao is one that we strive to explore, but it is like trying to see flowers through the fog or catch the moon's reflection in the water. Taking even one step forward consumes decades of our lives, and even now, we still cannot break free from this constraint."
Gao Zhengqing turned his head and looked into Mu Qianyang's eyes.
"Junior Brother Mu, perhaps we can break through this barrier through some other means..."
Mu Qianyang's eyes lit up immediately.
"Senior brother, have you found a solution?"
Gao Zhengqing nodded slightly: "I do have some confidence, but you and Junior Brother Ji need to work together to climb this insurmountable step."
Mu Qianyang was filled with emotion. Seeing that his old age was approaching, he would hold on to even the slightest hope.
Gao Zhengqing's expression told him that he was indeed somewhat confident.
The current leader of the Zhengyi Sect was indeed always above him, a step above him and Ji Fengxing.
Don't underestimate even a small difference in height. At their level, even a slight increase makes a world of difference.
"Senior brother, if you say so, I will do anything that I can do, even at the cost of my life."
Gao Zhengqing smiled and nodded. He was very satisfied with Mu Qianyang's attitude. What was the purpose of everyone's cultivation? It was nothing more than that vague goal.
If we can get through this, why would we care about the grudges and affections we have now?
After a moment of contemplation, under Mu Qianyang's eager gaze, he finally spoke slowly.
“Junior Brother Mu, as long as you take out the treasure on Lin Feng’s body, I can use it to break through the barrier and take a step forward.”
Gao Zhengqing had been pondering this matter for more than a day.
Ever since he received news from Elder Yan Su of the sect, he had been eagerly anticipating this day.
Lin Feng possessed a great treasure, which was both incredibly magical and strangely mysterious.
A disciple of Yuquan Temple who had not yet formally entered the sect, like a rogue cultivator in the cultivation world, was only thirty years old, yet he was able to sever one of the legs of Elder Yan Su, a high-level cultivator, by means of a rare treasure.
That's not all. The key point is that Yan Su was crippled when he was attacked by three high-level cultivators at the same time: Elder Gui Ju of Zhongxingmen and Elder Duan Li of Jianxingmen.
It must be said that this matter is definitely not due to Lin Feng's innate ability, but can be attributed entirely to the magical methods of the rare treasure in his possession.
Such a rare treasure, in the hands of a low-level cultivator, can break through the limits and surpass the abilities of a high-level cultivator.
If this extraordinary treasure could be held in Gao Zhengqing's hands, it wouldn't be long before he could comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and take that step that everyone longs for.
Gao Zhengqing looked at Mu Qianyang with great anticipation, waiting for him to say something exciting.
Mu Qianyang's initial excitement subsided instantly.
“Senior Brother Gao, to be frank, that treasure is not in my possession. Although Elder Guiju has a bad temper, he is an honest cultivator and he did not hide anything from me.”
Gao Zhengqing paused for a moment: "Could this treasure be in Junior Brother Ji's hands?"
Mu Qianyang nodded slightly: "If that's the case, it's the most likely. Junior Brother Ji was very active in this matter, and he was the one who handled Lin Feng's sister's case. It seems that obtaining the method to use Lin Feng's treasure is what he is most eager for."
"This is also why he was so eager to lure Lin Feng into his Hidden Pillar Peak."
"It must be so."
Seeing Mu Qianyang's resolute tone, Gao Zhengqing sighed.
“Junior Brother Ji’s speed is the key to breaking through the barrier. He is more precise than you and me and is determined to use speed as the breakthrough point. The chances of success are very high. If so, it will be difficult for us to obtain the right to use the exotic treasure from him.”
Mu Qianyang said urgently, "As cultivators, we shouldn't be so selfish. If we can break through and advance through this extraordinary treasure, it would be a great event for our sect's cultivation world. It's a matter of great importance, so Senior Brother Gao, you must say something."
"What do you want Gao to say?"
"We must all work together to make this a great success."
Gao Zhengqing smiled wryly: "What good would it do if I said that?"
"As long as Senior Brother Gao speaks, we will have a direction. Anyone who dares to hold back will be dealt with leniently."
Mu Qianyang was very determined.
Their eyes met, and sparks of excitement flew between them.
If one can rise to a higher level with the help of extraordinary treasures, what does it matter if a few disciples die?
This is also a secret hidden deep in the hearts of the leaders of the two major sects.
The reason why he would be interested in a low-level cultivator is also the reason why he would personally take action to capture Lin Feng.
The bloodshed between the two sects was not enough to move the two sect leaders.
The key is to obtain the rare treasure and how to use it; that is the ultimate goal of this joint operation to suppress Lin Feng.
