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

Although Liu Qingqing and Yun Shu's relationship was not harmonious, it was ultimately a matter of feelings, and the two did not harbor any deep hatred.

Therefore, at this critical moment, Liu Qingqing still hoped that Yun Shu could stay far away to avoid getting hurt.

Yun Shu understood that her cultivation level was the lowest among the three, and she wouldn't be able to do anything once the battle began. In order not to hold them back, she could only accept Liu Qingqing's suggestion.

"Alas, I'm afraid this is the only way."

"I'm leaving first with the children. You and Lin Feng must be extremely careful!"

Zhang Liuqing nodded and, after seeing Venerable Xuanming off, returned to the area around Sighing City.

However, Liu Qingqing did not choose to go in immediately, but instead lay in ambush on the perimeter.

At this moment, there were simply too many sects searching for Lin Feng, and Liu Qingqing was unsure which sect was the real target.

Therefore, for Liu Qingqing at this time, she could only choose to endure and lie low, while observing the situation.

Anyway, Lin Feng is currently safe in Sighing City, so she doesn't need to worry too much.

"Lin Feng, I hope you can get through this difficult time smoothly."

At this time, after another breakthrough in his cultivation, Lin Feng's realm had reached the ninth level of the Golden Core stage.

However, Lin Feng was unsure when this opportunity would arrive, so he could only continue to improve his cultivation and strengthen himself.

Lin Feng examined his dantian and said thoughtfully.

"He has reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, but he is not yet a true Nascent Soul cultivator, and his combat ability is still far from sufficient."

"Opportunities for a breakthrough are hard to find, so we can only lie low and wait for the time being."

Lin Feng sighed and was about to continue his cultivation when suddenly he felt a sharp killing intent locking onto him, which shocked him greatly.

Since entering Sighing City, Lin Feng has been using the surrounding spiritual energy to disguise himself. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for external spiritual energy to enter.

But now, he felt a clear force locking onto him, which meant there was only one possibility: the person locking onto him had extremely high cultivation, at least at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, otherwise they absolutely could not do it.

What terrified Lin Feng even more was that it seemed that he was being targeted not by just one person, but by many different auras, all of which were quite powerful.

Although he was unaware of the situation outside, Lin Feng instinctively had a bad feeling.

With so many top experts coming, could it be that Venerable Xuanming and others have come to besiege us?

Lin Feng suddenly turned his head and looked outside the City of Sighs, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

"With such a large-scale operation and so many experts, it seems they intend to kill me."

"In the entire Central Continent, the only ones with such power and influence are probably Venerable Xuanming and his group."

The main reason Lin Feng risked entering the heart of Sighing City to cultivate, and the reason he worked so hard to increase his cultivation speed, was to take revenge and kill Venerable Xuanming.

Unexpectedly, Venerable Xuanming arrived so quickly, while Lin Feng had not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. Under these circumstances, if the two sides were to fight, Lin Feng would have almost no chance of winning.

The difference in their levels of understanding is almost an insurmountable chasm.

Even though Lin Feng had already reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage and was invincible among cultivators of the same realm, he still had no chance against a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Left with no other choice, Lin Feng lowered his head and remained silent for a long while before speaking.

"I really didn't expect the news to leak so quickly. Venerable Xuanming has already come after us. It's quite unexpected."

"With my current strength, it would be difficult to confront Venerable Xuanming head-on. It would be best to find a way to escape as soon as possible."

Lin Feng knew very well that the difference in strength was like a chasm, truly difficult to cross.

The safest way is to escape.

Lin Feng didn't think running away was a shameful thing. If it were a head-on confrontation, with his cultivation level, he would have died countless times already.

"Hmph, of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best!"

"Venerable Xuanming, you think you can kill me so easily?"

Lin Feng quickly devised an escape plan. Using the chaotic spiritual energy of Sighing City as cover, he silently approached the edge of Sighing City.

For Lin Feng, this was the best option.

However, to his surprise, when he reached the edge, before he could leave, he felt a blinding light curtain rapidly shrinking.

Lin Feng was very familiar with this light screen. Wasn't this the same formation that Venerable Xuanming and the others used to seal off the Central Plains?

Upon realizing the source of the light screen, Lin Feng broke out in a cold sweat.

"It seems that Venerable Xuanming has gone to great lengths to kill me."

"They even brought the formation that seals off the Central Plains. It seems they won't let this go until they kill me."

Looking at the formation in front of him, Lin Feng's expression was indifferent, and his eyes also carried a hint of determination.

It was quite obvious that with Lin Feng's current cultivation level, breaking through this formation would not be difficult.

The problem is that once Lin Feng breaks through, he will definitely be captured by this formation, and his location will inevitably be exposed. Xuanming Venerable and the others are not far from here, and once Lin Feng's whereabouts are exposed, they will immediately chase after him.

Once surrounded by Venerable Xuanming and his group, Lin Feng will surely die.

However, if Lin Feng did not choose to break through the formation and instead remained inside it, he would only face a slow death.

Even after Venerable Xuanming and the others gradually narrowed the encirclement, Lin Feng still could not escape the fate of being surrounded and killed.

"Sigh, this is truly a dilemma."

Faced with such a difficult dilemma, Lin Feng sighed and turned to look in the direction of Venerable Xuanming.

He gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"At this point, we probably have no choice but to take a gamble."

"Since they want to kill me, I'll lure them in."

"With the help of the jade pendant, I have a geographical advantage in this Sighing City. As long as I enter the Sighing City to fight, these Nascent Soul cultivators will inevitably be dragged down. Then, whether I escape or fight head-on, my chances of winning will greatly increase."

"This was already a desperate situation, and now I have no choice but to take a gamble."

Lin Feng knew very well that he had almost no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

His only advantage now is the surrounding City of Sighs.

Within this chaotic spiritual energy, everyone's cultivation level would be restricted. However, Lin Feng could use the spiritual energy without restraint, thanks to the jade pendant.

This is the only advantage Lin Feng can currently leverage, and it's also his last bargaining chip.
