I, a centenarian, sweep through the gates of immortality.

The entire Chongyang Valley is busy preparing for the challenges to come.

Lin Feng remained silent, ignoring everyone, and simply packed his things in quiet contemplation.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and an outer disciple stood outside, bowing respectfully.

"Mr. Lin, I am ordered to escort you to Dunhua."

The distance from Chongyang Valley to Dunhua City is not far, about two hundred li. Ordinary people would not need an escort.

However, considering that Lin Feng was over a hundred years old, Xu Yuanrang was worried that Lin Feng might have trouble on the way, so he sent a Taoist boy to escort him.

With the Chongyang Valley sign hanging there, ordinary people wouldn't dare to cause trouble.

Lin Feng packed his luggage and left with the young Taoist.

When they arrived at the mountain gate and were about to leave, Lin Feng's emotions surged again.

"Ugh."

The young Taoist priest understood Lin Feng's emotions and did not try to persuade him. Instead, he stood and waited for a while before speaking.

"Mr. Lin, it's a two-hundred-mile journey, and neither of us can fly. Let's set off as soon as possible."

Lin Feng nodded silently, but said nothing more, and followed the young Taoist out of the mountain gate.

The road was wide, but the carriage moved slowly, as if afraid of being jolted.

The young Taoist sat down next to Lin Feng and introduced him to the situation in Dunhua City.

"Mr. Lin, Dunhua City is quite large, with many powerful and diverse factions, but none of them dare to provoke Chongyang Valley."

"Once you arrive, there will be people to take care of you and provide support. As long as you don't provoke other sects, you won't have any major trouble."

"We have quite a few pills among our disciples in Dunhua City; you are welcome to take them as you please."

"The sect leader instructed that you should not abandon your cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng silently parted the side curtain of the carriage, looked out the window, and remained silent.

However, at that moment, the horse driver let out a "whoosh" and then pulled hard on the reins, cursing under his breath.

"Damn it, what are the government officials doing? The broken trees are blocking the road, and they haven't sent anyone to deal with it."

As he spoke, the coachman lifted the curtain and said to the young Taoist priest with a slightly helpless expression.

"Immortal, the broken tree ahead is huge. I'm afraid I can't move it by myself. Please get out of the carriage and lend a hand."

Although the groom was strong, he was still just a mortal. Even if he managed to move the broken log with great effort, he would still waste a lot of time.

Although the young Taoist was not particularly skilled, he moved several large pieces of wood with ease.

Therefore, he did not refuse, but nodded.

"Okay, I'll go with you to move it."

The young Taoist priest stood up, preparing to get out of the carriage, when Lin Feng's withered arm suddenly rose and stopped him.

"Mr. Lin?"

Lin Feng said coldly.

Something's strange.

Lin Feng was over a hundred years old. Since Liu Qingqing left, Lin Feng had been disheartened and had traveled to many places. Although he could not be considered very knowledgeable, he was quite vigilant.

He only glanced at it before realizing that something was wrong.

"These giant trees have clean cuts, so they were most likely broken by human hands."

"Moreover, the placement was extremely ingenious, with two pairs placed in a staggered manner, which could not block people and horses, but could just block carriages."

Only after Lin Feng reminded him did the young Taoist realize that something was wrong.

But he didn't think too deeply about it, assuming he had been robbed.

"Who would dare to do something like this on the main road? Are they tired of living?!"

But Lin Feng didn't think so.

If they were highway robbers, why would they only stop cars?

Could it be...?

Could they be after me?

As Lin Feng was pondering a solution, several loud laughs suddenly came from afar.

"Old man, you really are very meticulous."

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Feng had already made a judgment.

They were definitely after him.

Moreover, the voice was erratic, clearly indicating that the person was a cultivator.

Lin Feng's cultivation was still shallow, and he couldn't judge the other party's strength. However, since things had come to this point, there was no way to escape, so he simply got off the carriage.

Upon seeing Lin Feng emerge, the burly man in black, who had been hiding in the shadows, ceased his concealment and appeared a short distance to the right of the carriage.

Before the two could speak, the young Taoist priest jumped out of the carriage.

He held up the Chongyang Valley's waist token and roared angrily.

"Where did this madman come from, daring to block our way? Open your dog eyes and see clearly, we are from Chongyang Valley, get out of here if you don't want to die!"

The burly man in black sneered and said.

"I'm going to kill you all!"

The young Taoist was furious and about to speak when Lin Feng stopped him.

Seeing Lin Feng's expression, the young Taoist boy didn't retaliate.

Lin Feng said to the burly man in black.

"The person you're trying to kill is me; the other two are innocent."

"Let them go."

The burly man in black remained unmoved, a cold smile still playing on his lips.

Lin Feng continued.

"He has Chongyanggu's protective certificate on him. If he dies, Chongyanggu will know immediately."

"This place is not far from Chongyang Valley, and it's still on the official road. Even if you can kill us all in one blow, it will be difficult to erase all traces in the remaining time. Chongyang Valley will be able to find you."

"Let him go. If he doesn't die, you'll have far less trouble."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, the burly man in black twitched his lips twice, glanced at the young Taoist for a moment, and then waved his hand stiffly.

"roll!"

The young Taoist looked impatient, clearly not intending to leave.

"Mr. Lin, I am acting on orders..."

Lin Feng abruptly interrupted him.

"He's after me, there's no need for him to take your life."

"Let's go back."

After saying that, he gave the young Taoist boy a push.

After hesitating and struggling for a moment, the young Taoist finally turned around, glanced at Lin Feng, and then quickly left with the coachman.

The burly man in black smiled and slowly walked to Lin Feng's side. His expression was a mixture of admiration and disdain, with an indescribable twisted quality.

"Old man, I didn't expect you to still be a decent person."

"In that case, I can also give you a dignified death."

Lin Feng's aged face showed little expression, and he didn't continue the conversation with the burly man in black. Instead, he asked a question in return.

"Was it Ying Wujiu who sent you?"

The burly man in black paused for a moment, his expression becoming even more wary.

"It seems Ying Wujiu was right; you do have some shrewdness."

"Unfortunately, it's useless now."

At this point, the burly man in black raised his hand and grabbed Lin Feng by the neck.

"Your trump card is nothing more than the Spirit Escape Technique, but the mark has been removed by me. You can't escape now."

"Alright, I'm not going to waste any more words with you, old man. I'll send you on your way now."

The burly man in black slowly increased the pressure with his right hand, and Lin Feng's skin, which resembled withered tree bark, turned bright red.

To the burly man's surprise, there was no fear in Lin Feng's eyes; instead, there was a hint of mockery.

"Old man, you're about to die, still pretending?"

Lin Feng's throat was tightly constricted, his face flushed red, yet he still managed to utter a barely audible sound.

"You're the one who's going to die..."
