Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 228 Feud Between Two Clans

Meanwhile, in the center of the battlefield, Lin Feng and Zhan Tianlei had transformed into two streaks of light and were fiercely clashing in the air. Every collision caused the entire Tianhe City to tremble.

"Lin Feng! Is it worth it to make an enemy of my Zhan Clan for an unknown nobody?"

Zhan Tianlei was surrounded by lightning, and every strike he made carried a world-destroying power.

"What's the point of saying it's worth it or not? Protecting the younger generation of the human race is the very foundation of our Heavenly Immortal Academy!"

On the other side, Lin Feng's momentum remained undiminished, his spear like a dragon, its tip radiating a dazzling divine light.

"If that's the case, then let's see if you can stop me!"

As he spoke, Zhan Tianlei suddenly changed his move, his left hand forming a hand seal to summon thunder from the heavens, while his right hand formed a claw and aimed directly at the direction where Shi An was.

"Boom!"

In an instant, five bolts of lightning struck down like celestial blades, tearing the space itself apart with dark cracks.

"careful!"

This scene instantly changed Lin Feng's expression, but Zhan Tianlei's attack was too sudden, so much so that it was too late for Lin Feng to come to the rescue.

"There's no other way..."

Looking at the five lightning blades slashing towards him, Shi An sighed inwardly. He had originally wanted to hide his strength, but now it seemed impossible.

Thinking this, his divine light surged within him, and he was already prepared to reveal his strength to block this attack.

"Ok?"

But in the next instant, he keenly sensed something and immediately relaxed.

"boom!"

Sure enough, just as he relaxed, a silver light suddenly appeared, blocking the five lightning blades.

"Zhan Tianlei! Lin Feng! Do you intend to destroy Tianhe City?"

Immediately following the silver light, a majestic voice resounded through the sky with unparalleled pressure, causing everyone in Tianhe City to tremble.

Before long, the silver light dissipated, revealing an elderly man dressed in fine clothes, with white hair but a vigorous spirit.

The old man stood in mid-air, surrounded by silver light, exuding an unfathomable aura.

"Lord Mohe City!"

Upon seeing the old man appear, Lin Feng and Zhan Tianlei almost simultaneously stopped their attacks, hovered in mid-air, and bowed slightly to him.

Indeed, this old man is none other than Mo He, the city lord of Tianhe City, who comes from the Celestial Race!

Mo He's gaze was cold and stern. He first glanced at the devastated Juxian Pavilion, then fixed his gaze on Zhan Tianlei and Lin Feng, and said in a deep voice, "Zhan Tianlei, Lin Feng, you fought so fiercely in my Tianhe City. Did you even put me, the city lord of Tianhe City, in your eyes?"

Seeing Mo He's attitude, Zhan Tianlei frowned slightly, feeling dissatisfied. However, he still considered that this was Tianzhou, so he did not make a scene. Instead, he calmly looked at the other party and said, "Since you have stepped forward, I will give you face."

With that, Zhan Tianlei turned to Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, let's drop this matter. I'm going back now."

After saying that, Zhan Tianlei didn't linger and turned back to the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce.

Watching Zhan Tianlei's departing figure, Lin Feng then cupped his hands in thanks to Mo He, saying, "Thank you for your help, City Lord Mo!"

"It's my duty!" But Mohe didn't give Lin Feng a friendly look. He simply said this calmly and then disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled helplessly, and then his figure flickered, returning to the ruins of Juxian Pavilion.

"Senior Lin!"

Upon seeing Lin Feng return, Shi An hurriedly went to greet him: "I must thank you for protecting us today, senior. If it weren't for you, my wife and I would probably have suffered from Zhan Tianlei's poisonous hands."

Yunxi, who followed closely behind, also bowed slightly and said softly, "We will remember your great kindness, senior."

"It doesn't have to be this way."

Lin Feng waved his hand in response to their thanks, gazing intently into the distance: "Actually, even without your involvement, I would have had a battle with Zhan Tianlei; it was just a matter of time."

"Why?"

Upon hearing this, Shi An and Yun Xi exchanged a puzzled look.

Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Lin Feng couldn't help but tilt his head slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of clouds, looking into the distance, and slowly said, "The Zhan Clan and the Tianren Clan have a long-standing feud, and their open and covert struggles have never stopped."

"And since the Celestial Academy has maintained good relations with the Celestial Race for many years, it has naturally become a target of the War Clan. So today's events are nothing more than using this as an excuse to make trouble."

"I see."

After listening to Lin Feng's explanation, Shi An nodded, but then cupped his hands slightly and said, "However, even so, if I hadn't come here rashly, Zhan Tianlei would have had no reason to cause trouble for you, senior. In a way, it is my fault."

"Young friend, there's no need for that."

However, in response to Shi An's apology, Lin Feng simply patted his shoulder lightly and said with a wry smile, "Actually, if it weren't for your upright character, exceptional talent, and the fact that you are the person I have my eye on, I would never have confronted the Zhan Clan head-on because of you."

"Therefore, in this matter, you and I have simply each gotten what we needed. You have gained the endorsement of the Celestial Academy, while the Celestial Academy has preserved a hero for the human race."

"Furthermore, even without you, Zhan Tianlei will find other excuses to test my reaction and that of the Celestial Race."

Listening to Lin Feng's eloquent speech, Yun Xi's beautiful eyes flickered, her mind filled with countless thoughts. Finally, she asked softly, "Senior Lin, may I ask what caused the deep-seated grudge between the Zhan Clan and the Tianren Clan? Why is it so profound?"

"Well..."

Yunxi's question came so suddenly that Lin Feng was slightly taken aback, but he quickly recovered and turned to look at Yunxi, saying, "This is a long story, and if we have to trace it back, we might have to go back to the ancient times."

"In the ancient times, the Celestial Race, the War Race, and eight other races were so powerful that they dominated the three thousand states and were known as the Ten Royal Races!"

"At that time, the entire Three Thousand Provinces was practically under the control of the Ten Royal Clans. Each of them had several peak Realm Escape One cultivators, making them the undisputed number one power in the Three Thousand Provinces."

"With the arrival of the ten royal families, friction was inevitable. The feud between the Celestial Race and the War Race also began at that time, but it truly began to erupt from a great war."

"In that battle, of the six Celestials of the Celestial Race, three died in battle, two succumbed to their injuries, and only one survived."

"The same is true for the War Clan. Of the five War Emperors, only one remains, and their glory is gone. It was from that time that the relationship between the War Clan and the Celestial Race deteriorated completely."

"The fundamental reason is that both the War Clan and the Celestial Clan value one thing highly. That thing can not only enhance the strength of the two clans, but if they are lucky, it can even produce another Escape One Realm expert in their clan, who will be famous throughout the Three Thousand Provinces."

"It's so true!"

After hearing Lin Feng's explanation, a hint of surprise flashed in Yun Xi's eyes.

It turns out that the reason why the War Clan and the Celestial Clan had a bad relationship was because they possessed a treasure or opportunity that could affect the rise and fall of both clans.
