Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 227 Short-lived Ghost!

Inside the Luo family hall, the Luo family patriarch watched Lin Feng trade pills with the experts from the three major forces of Tianya City, his expression somewhat gloomy.

The powerful figures from the three major families remained outwardly calm upon witnessing this scene, but inwardly they were secretly delighted.

"Your Luo family has ruled Tianya City for so many years, it's time for us three great families to turn the tables!"

Of course, only the Wang family patriarch vaguely sensed something was wrong, but at the moment he was focused on the transaction of the pills. As for whether the entire clan should move away from Tianya City, he still needed to consider it carefully.

After all, even if the Wang family's share of the Tianya City pie is small, the wealth they have accumulated over the years is still considerable.

"You two should make the deal!"

Despite his extremely gloomy expression, the Luo family patriarch remained completely calm inside.

Having already pledged allegiance to Lin Feng, as long as he doesn't betray him, he can rest easy and become a Venerable Ancestor in the future. He doesn't need to waste words on these beings who have no hope of becoming a Venerable in this lifetime.

"I, your ancestor, joined your ranks long ago. A hundred years from now, I will return to your graves to renew our bond of service in Tianya City!"

Inside the hall, the patriarchs of the Xiao and Chu families exchanged a glance and discussed the matter in secret. Although they also felt that something was amiss, they did not dwell on it.

Even if it can't be exchanged for a Breakthrough Pill to increase the chances of outstanding juniors in the clan entering the Dou Zong realm, it would still be excellent to exchange it for a Royal-grade pill refined by a seventh-grade alchemy master.

The royal-grade pills refined by such a master are naturally incomparable to those of ordinary sixth-grade alchemists. It can be said that with the help of these royal-grade pills, the younger generation in the clan who have reached the eighth-star Dou Huang realm can quickly enter the peak Dou Huang realm.

This deal must be made to shorten the time required to become a Dou Zong!

However, since the Wang family patriarch had already traded three royal-grade pills in advance, Lin Feng didn't have many royal-grade pills left. After receiving the reward, Lin Feng spent an extra day refining a few more royal-grade pills for them!

After everything was finished, Lin Feng did not linger. He went to find the Luo family patriarch who was waiting for instructions, obtained the top-of-the-line spaceship from him, and truly embarked on his journey to Zhongzhou.

Of course, he had already made arrangements for how the Luo family would contact him afterward.

After he has truly established himself in the Dan Tower, he will send someone to make the handover with the Luo family. The Luo family's task is simply to gather all the information available about the Northwest Continent.

Among these, the key areas to focus on are the Gama Empire and the Snake-People Clan, Canaan Academy, and the Heavenly Serpent Palace. As for other forces, Lin Feng doesn't have much involvement with them, so there's no need to pay special attention to them; he only needs to gather intelligence on them as usual.

As for Xiao Yan, there's no need to pay special attention to him. As the hidden chosen one of destiny in the Dou Qi Continent, Lin Feng believes that this guy will never hide his identity anywhere.

Or rather, he would cause trouble wherever he went and become the center of attention, which was not something he could control.

Even if he wanted to hide it, as long as Xiao Yan still wanted to absorb the strange fire, he would naturally be exposed to Lin Feng's eyes.

In return for gathering intelligence and surrendering, Lin Feng promised that within three years, he would help the Luo family patriarch take another small step forward on the path to becoming a Dou Zong!

Don't underestimate this small step. The Luo family patriarch has lived for so many years, and his energy and spirit have long been exhausted. He has no chance to take another step forward.

For Lin Feng, Lin Feng's promise meant not only an improvement in his cultivation level, but also an extension of his lifespan.

How could the Luo family patriarch not be excited!

Within the faint, silvery-white passage, a large, jet-black ship sped along at an incredible speed. On board, Lin Feng and his companions stood at the bow, marveling at the strange sight.

"Is this a spatial wormhole? No wonder it's a creation of a Dou Zun," Little Fairy Doctor said, standing beside Lin Feng, her tone revealing a hint of surprise.

Watching the massive, black ship traverse the space, with its dense spatial energy fluctuating intermittently, coupled with the terrifying darkness ahead, one can't help but marvel at the wonder of the spatial wormhole.

"Hehe, Little Fairy Doctor, this is nothing. When I have the chance, I'll take you to travel in the real void and let you see the vastness and desolation of the endless void."

While Lin Feng and Cai Lin seemed to agree with Little Fairy Doctor's words, Zi Yan, standing to the side, lightly waved her fist, as if she didn't care about the spatial wormhole in front of her.

Hearing Zi Yan's words, Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle. Zi Yan was the darling of the space and had recently received instruction from the Dragon Emperor.

Given her personality, she definitely couldn't resist exploring the endless void on her own in private. Of course, Lin Feng wasn't worried about her safety.

Putting aside her superb spatial talent, the old Dragon Emperor Zhukun would certainly not sit idly by and watch Ziyan fall into danger.

Even for those few, the old Dragon Emperor, out of affection for them, still bestowed upon them a few drops of his essence blood.

As his beloved daughter, Zi Yan, filled with deep guilt, received countless protective charms from him.

"Achoo."

As Lin Feng was thinking to himself, deep within the endless magma beneath Canaan Academy, a colossal figure whose end could not be seen suddenly sneezed.

"I only gave Ziyan a dozen drops of essence blood and the Reverse Scale for protection. Could it be that I am truly incapacitated and have become so weak?"

After uttering a question, the old dragon emperor rolled over his massive body, causing the space to tremble before falling back into slumber.

It seems that the old Dragon Emperor must have left an extremely precious protective talisman on Zi Yan.

"My lord, at this spaceship's speed, how long will it take to reach the Central Plains?"

Cai Lin, standing to the side, said gently that the longer she spent with Lin Feng, the more the former Medusa Queen seemed to have completely left her.

She has now completely immersed herself in the role of Lin Feng's wife.

However, Lin Feng knew that the true arrogance in his bones had not dissipated, and he was unwilling for him to lose himself for his sake.

Therefore, Lin Feng never avoided Cai Lin during battles. Moreover, Cai Lin's cultivation level is now a small star higher than Lin Feng's.

Given the power of the Devouring Python clan, Lin Feng would need to put in a considerable amount of effort to defeat Cai Lin, who is of a higher level.

"Luo Tian once said that this spaceship is the most advanced type made by the Luo family. If it is fully activated, it can reach Zhongzhou in just half a month!"

"Lin Feng, Sister Cai Lin, Sister Little Fairy Doctor, let me take care of operating the spaceship!"

Just then, Zi Yan suddenly raised her hand and said excitedly.

Heaven knows how long she secluded herself in the endless space to cultivate diligently, and when she emerged, she fought against that eighth-level lizardman for three months.

While it satisfied her desire to fight, it was also extremely boring.

This time, with a novel spaceship to control, Zi Yan was naturally the first to rush over.

"With me in charge, it won't take half a month, at most ten days, to reach Zhongzhou. Just you wait and see!"

"Alright, then the task of piloting the spaceship is entrusted to you!"

Lin Feng and the others exchanged glances, all understanding each other's meaning, before stepping into the room. Meanwhile, Zi Yan, left behind, suddenly felt a pang of regret, lost in thought.

"Am I stupid?"

Once inside the cabin, Lin Feng and the others had some idea of ​​Zi Yan's feelings. The understanding Little Fairy Doctor offered to take turns or operate the spaceship with Zi Yan.

The dark spatial barrier swept past quickly, and time passed with it. Of course, Little Fairy Doctor had also arrived at the bow of the ship at some point, and together with Zi Yan, they were controlling the space ship.

This did alleviate Zi Yan's boredom somewhat, but the spatial power constantly flowing through her hands also revealed that she didn't particularly enjoy spatial travel.

"Old Man of Eagle Mountain!"

Inside the spaceship, Lin Feng took the opportunity to re-enter his mind, transforming his consciousness into a physical form, and arrived in front of the "Old Man of Eagle Mountain".

"This is your last chance, and only this one chance. Tell me everything about your origins and the secret techniques you possess, or else..."

Lin Feng didn't say what he was going to say next, but the "Old Man of Eagle Mountain" naturally understood the meaning he was conveying!

"Lord Lin Feng, I will tell you everything I know, I only beg you to spare my life."

The "Old Man of Eagle Mountain" struggled to raise his head, revealing a face that, even through its dark hue, showed signs of paleness and weakness. Forcing himself to stay awake, the "Old Man of Eagle Mountain" spoke again.

"Even if you cannot let me leave, please, Lord Lin Feng, do not extract any more of my soul power."

"As long as you tell me everything, as you said, I will naturally not let you go, but I can also make sure that I will not extract your soul power again in the future."

"Lord Lin Feng, how can I trust you?"

Even now, the cunning "Old Man of Eagle Mountain" remains wary of Lin Feng's words.

"no promises!"

Seeing the ungrateful "Old Man of Eagle Mountain," Lin Feng was not angry, but simply looked at him calmly.

"How can you guarantee the truthfulness of everything you've said? Furthermore, if the secret method you provide is flawed, I will also encounter problems. It all depends on the other party's honesty!"

At this point, Lin Feng suddenly revealed a murderous aura and said coldly.

"However, even if you resort to any underhanded tricks, with this treasure, I can still kill you if I'm ever in trouble!"

After the murderous aura subsided, Lin Feng looked at the "Old Man of Eagle Mountain" who was panting heavily, and his tone returned to its usual calm.

"Let's begin! You're not worth me breaking my promise!"

"Yes, Lord Lin Feng!"

Gasping for breath, it took the "Old Man of Eagle Mountain" a long time to calm down. He had also abandoned his cleverness. He knew that the person before him would truly abandon the unknown treasure and kill him!

He never wanted to experience that feeling of having his soul extracted again.

"Lord Lin Feng, I was not originally the Old Man of Eagle Mountain. Or rather, this fellow was merely an unfortunate soul whose body I possessed. However, he should feel honored to be possessed by me. If it weren't for me, how could he, with his talent, have possibly reached the Dou Zong realm!"

Get to the point!

Seeing that this guy was indeed incorrigible, Lin Feng couldn't help but give him a slight reminder, which startled him so much that he immediately straightened his posture. Although he was dressed entirely in black, Lin Feng couldn't detect any change in him.

"Yes, Lord Lin Feng!"

"My original name was Yuan Kui, and I am not from the Dou Qi Continent!"

At this point, Yuan Kui's expression turned serious, and even with Lin Feng's previous warning, his tone unconsciously became arrogant.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, it is said that the Dou Qi Continent was an extremely prosperous world, with Dou Di powerhouses as numerous as clouds!"

At this point, Yuen Kwai's tone became somewhat uncertain.

"Wait! You said tens of thousands of years ago? Do you mean you actually live for tens of thousands of years?"

Even when he heard that the person might not be from the Dou Qi Continent, Lin Feng was not surprised at all. During his many days of refining, he had already had some vague guesses.

However, upon hearing that he might actually be someone from tens of thousands of years ago, Lin Feng could no longer contain himself.

As far as he knew, even a Dou Sheng powerhouse, as strong as the Ancient Yuanhun Heavenly Emperor, might not have a lifespan of ten thousand years. Perhaps, below the Dou Di level, only a being like Zhu Kun, with the body of a demonic beast and having cultivated to the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng, could surpass the ten-thousand-year lifespan limit!

Having transmigrated here and now achieving some success, he naturally doesn't want to return to the world after only a few thousand years.

"Lord Lin Feng!"

Yuan Kui was taken aback at first when he saw Lin Feng's change in tone, but then he showed an understanding expression. Of course, he didn't try to be clever with it.

Based on his understanding of Lin Feng, this guy possesses extremely strong talent, even within their race, he would be considered a Saint-level existence.

Otherwise, given his concealment techniques, he didn't believe Lin Feng could actually discover him. This wasn't a matter of soul strength; unless Lin Feng's soul power reached the Spirit Realm as described in the Dou Qi Continent, without a specialized soul detection technique, no one could detect him.

"Lord Lin Feng, you misunderstand. In fact, my lifespan is not long by nature. The reason I can live for tens of thousands of years is simply because of my clan's secret techniques and my clan's unique physical structure, which can prevent the erosion of time."

"As you can see, in terms of the realm of Dou Qi Continent, I am currently roughly equivalent to a four-star Dou Zong, and my lifespan is only a thousand years."

When the topic of a thousand-year lifespan came up, Yu Na Kui cautiously glanced at Lin Feng's expression. He knew that these short-lived people on the Dou Qi Continent could only live for a maximum of five hundred years at the Dou Zong realm.

Only the lifespan of those magical beasts can compare to theirs.

The person in front of us is clearly not a magical beast!
