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

Chapter 421 Settling scores with Zhan Tianlei

Entering Juxian Pavilion, the interior remains unchanged, with a faint scent of ink mixed with the aroma of spirit tea, creating a tranquil and elegant atmosphere.

Lin Feng led the two directly to his quiet backyard room where he usually meditated, and waved his hand to set up several soundproof barriers.

The three sat down, and Lin Feng personally brewed a pot of spiritual tea with Dao patterns swirling in the air, its aroma refreshing and invigorating.

"It feels like a lifetime ago."

As Lin Feng pushed two cups of fragrant tea, brimming with rich spiritual energy, towards Shi An and Yun Xi, he remarked with emotion, "When you first arrived in Tianhe City, young friend, although you already showed great promise, you still needed my protection to deal with that old bastard Zhan Tianlei. Now, looking at you..."

As he spoke, he tapped his teacup lightly with his fingertips and gave a wry smile: "I'm afraid I can only look up to your level, young friend."

"Senior, you are serious."

Upon hearing this, Shi An accepted the teacup with both hands and said with a gentle smile, "Without the help of the senior from back then, my wife and I might not have been able to get to where we are today."

As soon as Shi An finished speaking, Yun Xi, who was beside him, followed closely and said, "My wife and I will always remember Senior Lin's kindness in shielding us from the wrath of the true god."

After saying this, the two raised their glasses at the same time and bowed deeply to Lin Feng.

Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly stood up, gently supporting Shi An and Yun Xi with both hands, and said with a soft laugh, "You two are too kind to me. What happened in the past was nothing more than a small favor, not worth mentioning."

"Moreover, your achievements are now far beyond what I could ever hope to attain. I am already extremely gratified to have witnessed your growth."

Then, the three of them sat down again, and the atmosphere became even more harmonious amidst the fragrant tea.

Lin Feng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked at Shi An and Yun Xi with a hint of curiosity, asking, "Speaking of which, your return to Tianhe this time must not be as simple as just to see this old man, right?"

Facing Lin Feng's curious gaze, Shi An didn't hide anything and said directly, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Senior Lin. We have indeed come here for two matters. The first is to see you again, and the second..."

As he spoke, Shi An gently put down his teacup, but his gaze was fixed on the churning clouds outside the window. His expression was frighteningly calm: "They have come to settle the karmic debts of the past."

"cause and effect?"

Hearing Shi An's words, Lin Feng paused, his teacup resting on his lips, before following Shi An's gaze to the interwoven thunderclouds outside the window.

The next moment, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes: "I see."

Seeing that Lin Feng understood, Shi An spoke again: "If it weren't for your protection back then, my wife and I would probably not have been able to escape unscathed. We will never forget this kindness, and we will never forget this enmity either."

As he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his eyes, and deep within his calm gaze, it seemed as if a galaxy was being reversed, causing the tranquil spiritual energy in the courtyard to tremble slightly: "Back then, relying on his True God realm, he wanted to crush us Venerables like ants. Now it is time to repay the karma of the past."

Looking into the cold glint that had been gathering in Shi An's eyes for many years, and hearing the determination in his words, Lin Feng couldn't help but tremble. He then sighed, "Cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution is inevitable. The way of Heaven is clear, and this is the truth."

"Now that you have made up your mind, young friend, I will not say anything more. I only hope that when you make your move, you will take some care of the people in the city and avoid causing unnecessary bloodshed."

"Don't worry, senior, I am not a bloodthirsty person."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Shi An immediately and solemnly promised, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. I am seeking Zhan Tianlei, not the demon who slaughtered the city. The people of Tianhe City have nothing to do with this."

After Shi An finished speaking, Yun Xi also said softly, "We know of Senior Lin's kindness. We have come here to inform you so that if any trouble arises, it will affect Juxian Pavilion." Hearing Yun Xi say that the reason they came here specifically was to let him prepare in advance, Lin Feng's face immediately showed a look that was both relieved and complicated.

After a moment, he let out a long sigh of relief: "With your words, I am at ease."

As dusk deepened, the dark clouds above Tianhe City grew thicker and thicker, like lead blocks being kneaded by an invisible hand, pressing heavily on every upturned eave and corner.

"Well, it's getting late..."

Before long, Shi An suddenly stood up and bowed to Lin Feng again, saying, "We have troubled you for a long time, senior. It is time for us to take our leave."

Yunxi also stood up and gave Lin Feng a graceful curtsy, her beautiful face showing respect for her senior.

Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly stood up to return the greeting, and then watched the two leave Juxian Pavilion.

As soon as Shi An and Yun Xi stepped out of the pavilion, they silently merged into the space, like a drop of water flowing into a vast ocean, without causing the slightest ripple.

As dusk settled, dark clouds churned and boiled over Tianhe City, pressing down heavily on the entire city.

Pedestrians hurried along the streets, all intimidated by the oppressive power of the heavens and earth, shrinking back into their homes in fear and unease. But no one knew that this long-brewing thunderstorm was not a natural disaster, but a calamity for humanity.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, an invisible will locked onto the core of the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce!
The guild's protective array didn't even have time to flash before it was silently crushed by a force that transcended the laws of nature.

The leaden clouds swirling atop Lei Yin Pavilion were violently torn apart, and a deep, mysterious vortex of starlight appeared out of thin air. At the center of the vortex, ancient stars swirled, and a vast and boundless aura poured down, causing the souls of countless cultivators in the entire Tianhe City to tremble. Those with higher cultivation levels felt the effects more clearly.

That was a majesty that transcended cognition, overlooking the birth and death of eras!

"Zhan Tianlei, it's been many years since we last met. Do you still recognize the name Taiyi?!"

Immediately afterwards, a voice as cold and ruthless as the law of heaven pierced through layers of restrictions and crashed into the depths of the Thunder-Attracting Pavilion!
Zhan Tianlei, who was closing his eyes to absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth, suddenly opened his eyes. His gray hair stood on end, and lightning snakes danced wildly around his body. The entire Lei Yin Pavilion groaned mournfully under the majestic imperial power.

His face first contorted with rage, then turned to one of disbelief and terror. That voice... it was clearly that of the ant-like Venerable he had once looked down upon!
"It's you?! No... this can't be!"

With a roar filled with fear on the verge of collapse, Zhan Tianlei frantically formed hand seals, attempting to summon the thunder from the heavens. However, he discovered that his proud True God Thunder Dao cultivation seemed to have vanished entirely at this moment, leaving him as ordinary as a mortal.

Not only the thunder in the heavens, but also the original thunder runes he had cultivated were now out of control, and no matter how he tried to activate them, they could not be condensed into a form.

For a moment, Zhan Tianlei's eyes widened as he stared intently at the void shrouded in the galaxy vortex, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the hundred-foot-tall tower of Lei Yin Pavilion turned into dust inch by inch from the top. Strangely, instead of scattering and flying everywhere, it was pulled upwards by an invisible force, like a reverse waterfall, flowing into the deep starry river.

The Thunder Pool, Thunder Drum, Thunder Crystal... all the sacred objects related to the Thunder Path treasured inside the tower have lost their luster and turned into grayish-white rubble.
