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

Yan Shiyuan had been practicing under Liu Qingqing's tutelage for many years and knew his master's personality very well.

Seeing that Liu Qingqing was jealous, and worried that she might do something irrational, he could only try to persuade her from the side.

"Master, Grandmaster Lin Feng... he hasn't shown any inclination. You mustn't act rashly."

Liu Qingqing did not answer; instead, her expression showed even more resentment.

"Lin Feng belongs to me! His lack of inclination is simply wrong!"

After Yun Shu finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Lin Feng and Yun Shu traveled at a brisk pace and soon arrived at the Zhao family's territory.

At this time, the Zhao family was in a state of utter chaos.

Zhao Hong's son has disappeared without a trace, and his fate is unknown.

Some of the Zhao family's elite disciples were also slaughtered during the previous search for the Heavenly Nether Flame.

What devastated the Zhao family the most was that they didn't even know who their enemy was.

Almost all of the Zhao family members were silenced, so they were unaware that Lin Feng was behind it all.

Even though Zhao Hong tried his best to make amends, even at the cost of using his family's resources, the short-term increase in strength was ultimately too weak. If he were to be targeted by others, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After much deliberation, Zhao Hong realized that to ensure the safety of his entire family, he had no choice but to seal off the city and defend it.

He immediately summoned the elders of the family and then said coldly.

"Our family is currently facing internal and external troubles, and we don't even know who our enemy is. For safety's sake, I've decided to seal off the mountain altogether. What do you think?"

The other elders also understood that this was the best option for the entire family, and they had no choice but to agree.

"Chief, we will all listen to you."

"Give the order to close the mountain."

Zhao Hong nodded and was about to give an order when several disciples guarding the mountain gate suddenly rushed over, panting and panicked, shouting incessantly.

"Chief! Something terrible has happened! Someone has come to attack!"

Zhao Hong, who was already extremely nervous, changed his expression drastically upon hearing the news.

He quickly asked.

"Who goes there?"

The gatekeeper shook his head and said with a miserable expression.

"They are the man and woman who took away the Heavenly Nether Flame a few days ago."

A few days ago, when Lin Feng and Yun Shu seized the Divine Fire, Zhao Hong, although he had fallen out with the major sects, did not go far and witnessed the whole process.

But when he heard that it was actually Lin Feng and Yun Shu, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"How could it be them? I have no grudge against them."

Zhao Hong was confused about the situation, so he could only lead his men to the main gate of the family compound.

Looking at Lin Feng and Yun Shu, Zhao Hong remained vigilant but dared not show too much hostility. Instead, he spoke respectfully.

"Fellow Daoists, may I ask what brings you here today?"

Seeing Zhao Hong come out, Lin Feng sneered and said without any politeness.

"My purpose in coming here today is very simple: to nip this problem in the bud."

Seeing that Lin Feng made no attempt to conceal his killing intent, Zhao Hong swallowed hard and then said warily.

"Fellow Daoist, when did our Zhao family offend you? Why do you want to exterminate our entire family?"

In Lin Feng's eyes, the Zhao family was already a bunch of dead people.

There is no need to hide the truth about the dead.

Lin Feng said with a cold smile.

"Your son almost killed me and Yun Shu in his attempt to seize the Dragon Pattern Black Gold."

"I have come here today to settle this score."

After listening to Lin Feng's explanation, Zhao Hong finally understood that it was all his unfilial son's fault.

Knowing that Lin Feng and Yun Shu were incredibly strong, Zhao Hong could only apologize repeatedly.

He bowed to Lin Feng as he spoke.

"My unfilial and rebellious son!"

"This is all my fault for not disciplining them properly, and I'm willing to apologize to you!"

Lin Feng also waved his hand with a cold laugh, speaking without any politeness.

"No need for apologies. I've already killed your son. I've come today to reunite you with him."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hong's expression suddenly turned cold.

He had been searching for Zhao Anshi for some time, but without any news. He had been worried that something might have happened to his unfilial son.

Now that Lin Feng has confirmed the news, he couldn't help but feel grief and indignation.

He only has one son!

Zhao Hong dropped his feigned submissiveness and said through gritted teeth.

"Lin Feng, you killed my son! I will never forgive you!"

Faced with Zhao Hong's resentment, Lin Feng remained extremely calm, appearing completely unconcerned.

He pulled Yun Shu forward two steps, and the two remnant souls of the Underworld Emperor were fully released, instantly bringing his aura and cultivation to their peak.

Although Zhao Hong was resentful, he maintained at least a degree of rationality.

He knew very well that he was no match for Lin Feng, so it was best to stick to the original plan and surrender himself to the authorities.

He quickly turned to the other elders beside him and said.

"Seal off the mountain quickly, don't let Lin Feng break in."

Realizing that a formidable enemy was imminent, the elders dared not be negligent and quickly activated the formation they had prepared long ago.

Soon, the entire Zhao family was enveloped in a hazy blue light.

After confirming that the mountain-protecting formation had been activated, Zhao Hong finally felt relieved.

He looked at Lin Feng outside the formation and coldly rebuked him.

"Lin Feng, you killed my son, and I will settle this score with you sooner or later!"

Zhao Hong had already made preparations. He would temporarily close the mountain and surrender himself, and then secretly send someone to ask for outside help.

He could probably not rely on the surrounding sects, so he could only go south to ask his master for help.

However, to his surprise, Lin Feng did not choose to back down in the face of Zhao Hong's retreat. Instead, he leaped into the air and arrived directly in front of the Zhao family's mountain gate, raising a black and gold longsword in his hand.

Zhao Hong sneered and mocked without any politeness.

"Lin Feng, you're not planning to attack our protective mountain formation, are you?"

"Don't waste your time. This mountain-protecting formation was set up by my ancestors and is based on white jade. It is indestructible. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator comes, he will not be able to break the formation in a short period of time."

After saying that, Zhao Hong adopted a spectator's stance, letting Lin Feng attack the formation.

"Lin Feng, let me see just how capable you really are!"

Lin Feng looked up at Zhao Hong, a cold smile creeping onto his lips.

He raised the dragon-patterned black and gold sword high, channeling his spiritual energy into the tip of the sword.

"break!"

An extremely sharp sword beam shot out with Lin Feng's roar.
