"The place we are at is the peak of Star Fall Mountain, below is a sheer cliff." Lin Feng followed the direction pointed by the black-clad woman and looked into the distance where the cliff merged with the horizon at the junction of the mountain ridge and the sky.

"How does it compare to the scenery at Star Watching Cliff back then?" The black-clad woman watched Lin Feng look in the direction she was pointing and then brought up Star Watching Cliff to him.

Lin Feng was originally reminded of the wondrous sight of the ridges and the mist swirling at Star Watching Cliff back then. However, when he heard the black-clad woman ask him this, he was suddenly startled.

Lin Feng quickly turned around to face the black-clad woman, her long hair flowing and her water-like eyebrows clearly visible. Lin Feng did not admire her beauty but coldly asked her, "How do you know these things?" Lin Feng’s tone was a bit urgent, not only anxious but very urgent.

He looked at the black-clad woman with eyes full of surprise, but still calmed his mind in the next second. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Since the person behind the scenes could calculate the entire Human Realm, how could Lin Feng, as a pawn, escape his knowledge? Since the Sect Leader knew his origins, then the black-clad woman must also know.

There was also another possibility, that the woman in front of him was Su Liqian, but why did she always seem so unfamiliar and even indifferent when looking at Lin Feng?

As expected, just as Lin Feng thought, the black-clad woman replied to him, "As long as the Sect Leader wants to know something in this world, he can know it." The black-clad woman spoke naturally without any emotion, her words simple and concise, complemented by her elegant and clear voice, which brought out this naturalness to the extreme.

Lin Feng sighed and silently followed the black-clad woman towards the Sect Leader’s residence.

This mountain peak itself was like an Immortal Realm, Nature’s craftsmanship had carved the mountain peak into a flat land. And on this flat land were planted many exotic flowers and herbs, seemingly exuding Immortal Spirit Qi. The purity of this Immortal Spirit Qi was extremely high, and each plant, if placed in the market of the Human Realm, would be worth at least tens of thousands of Spirit Stones each.

Lin Feng and the black-clad woman walked into the mountain, where a residence was built, facing south and north, accessible in all directions. Inside, it was surrounded by mountains and waters, extremely graceful. Delicate railings were present, and pavilions linked with corridors formed an exquisite and elegant estate.

Lin Feng and the black-clad woman arrived before a courtyard within the estate, only to see a bronze-eyed pear wood door standing firmly in front, with a magnificent sculpture of a beast guarding each side, gazing, and the different style compared with the front courtyard showed the owner’s boldness and the grand ambition hidden deep in the mountains.

"This is the Sect Leader’s residence, wait here for a moment as I go in to report." After saying this, the black-clad woman walked towards the courtyard door, reaching out her slender jade hand to push open the imposing pear wood door, just cracking it open a little, so Lin Feng did not see the layout within the courtyard. He imagined it was equally extraordinary as outside.

Seeing the black-clad woman had entered inside, Lin Feng, finding himself idle with nothing to do, decided to have a look around. He came to a pond, where a fruit tree was planted, bearing bright red fruits. Although Lin Feng did not know the name of this fruit tree, he recognized the fruit at a glance.

Lin Feng exclaimed in delight, "Top-grade Blood Plasma Fruit!" Among the Six Realms, the spirit trees and the fruit they bore had different names. Due to differing attributes and uses, sometimes many fruits were called by one name, while those spirit trees had another name, which was also a habit in the Cultivation World of the Human Realm.

Just as Lin Feng was focusing his attention on those fruits, a male voice suddenly came from behind. The man addressed Lin Feng, "You have a good eye, not for nothing, as the City Lord of Peace City. People in this world have only seen the rare Blood Plasma Fruit of the Human Realm, yet do not know it actually comes from a type of treasure wood called the Third Grade Earth Fire Pear Xuan. People only know this rare fruit as blood-red as it can bring the severely injured back to life, thus named after its attribute as Blood Plasma Fruit."

The visitor must be exceptional, as in just a few words, he explained the Blood Plasma Fruit thoroughly.

Lin Feng turned around to face him and saw the man exceedingly handsome and elegant, his skin as white and glossy as a woman’s, and his handsome facial features were very distinct and simple, with exquisite features as if meticulously carved by someone to perfection.

In terms of appearance, Lin Feng’s immortal spirit and Daoist demeanor and the newcomer’s handsome elegance had their own charms.

Lin Feng asked the man, "May I inquire who you are?"

"I am Luo Jindong, first son of the Luo Family in the Human Realm." The man raised his head looking at the breathtaking landscape as if he merged with that beauty.

There had long been rumors in the Human Realm that the first son of the Luo Family, the largest family in Beijing, was a cultivation prodigy of exceptional talents. Decades ago, a rebellion erupted in Beijing, and the Luo Family was also caught in the chaos.

The Luo Family lost their Family Head in that rebellion, but fortunately, the eldest son Luo Jindong with outstanding talents mastered the family’s secret heirloom. Overnight, he eradicated all his family’s enemies, pillaging all powers within Beijing that could be killed empty. The Court also suffered heavy losses then; the old Emperor died at the hands of Luo Jingtian at that moment.

After avenging his family’s deep hatred, Luo Jingtian disappeared without a trace. After the new Emperor ascended, a decree was issued to capture this regicide.

Swearing to break Luo Jingtian’s body and even destroy his soul.

But here stood such a high-profile criminal calmly before Lin Feng. Lin Feng, being a decisive and battle-hardened person himself, naturally had no fear and hence seemed particularly calm.

Luo Jingtian did not seem to be the monstrous villain in rumors; his appearance, in fact, gave a genuine feeling, unlike the hypocrites within the Court. Sometimes, taking responsibility with courage was a kind of grandeur and manhood, moreover Luo Jingtian felt avenging his family bore no wrong.

The matters of the world, right and wrong, were hard to judge. Lin Feng had already transcended these, having a broader outlook beyond good and evil. So he did not see the Luo Jingtian before him as a mere murderer or one of the Court’s wanted criminals. When it came to killing, the Court should explain for the thousands of cultivators from the Six Great Sects; when it came to right and wrong, the Court should apologize for the struggling masses in the Human Realm.

Issues of right and wrong were simply a game for those in power; good and evil were just a chip in the secular hand. Only by holding true to one’s heart and upholding the Righteous Path in the Mortal World, can a Heavenly Daoist be in harmony with the Heavenly Dao without regret.

Lin Feng bowed to the man in front of him, the man also responded with a gentle smile, internally raising his regard for Lin Feng. At this moment, the man thought to himself, "The hope of the Human Realm must be entrusted to a man like him."

Though Luo Jingtian thought so, he did not show much emotion on the surface. It seemed he preferred to savor the quietude, akin to embracing this world calmly.

Lin Feng also pursued tranquility, but he was now caught in a massive plot; at the very least, in the actions at Taoxuan Heavenly Sect, he was already branded with the infamy of slaughtering the Sect Leader and seizing the Soul Device.

At this time, the "Sky-cutting Sword" had already been presented by the black-clad woman to the Sect Leader. The Sect Leader only glanced at the sword in the black-clad woman’s hand with his deep, far-seeing eyes, then closed his eyes.

"Let him stay in the front courtyard for a while," the Sect Leader’s solid voice came from the room.

The black-clad woman put away the "Sky-cutting Sword" in her hand, bowed to the Sect Leader, and graciously retreated.
