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

Lin Feng was furious.

He originally intended to leave, but he never expected that Venerable Xuanming and the others would be so shameless.

If Lin Feng escapes, everyone connected to him will die.

This was unacceptable to Lin Feng.

"They're trying to force me to show myself!"

"Alright, then I'll do as you wish!"

Lin Feng glanced at the head hanging on the city wall, then his figure flashed, and in an instant, Lin Feng and the head disappeared completely.

Meanwhile, Xuanqing Temple had already arrested everyone who was connected with Lin Feng.

This, of course, includes Yun Shu.

The people from Xuanqing Temple looked at Yun Shu, smiled maliciously, and said with a mocking expression.

"We know everything."

"That old geezer Lin Feng has a lot of people involved, but he probably doesn't really care about many of them, and you should be one of them."

Yun Shu already harbored deep hatred for Xuanqing Temple. Even though she had become a prisoner, she was not afraid at all and continued to curse.

"What kind of reputable sect do you think you are!"

"If you have the guts, then kill me!"

Upon hearing this, the people of Xuanqing Temple burst into laughter.

"Haha, kill you? Not so easy!"

"If you die, will Lin Feng still show his face?"

"You must live until Lin Feng appears!"

Knowing that she was going to be taken hostage, Yun Shu did not want to drag Lin Feng down, so she could only prove her point by dying.

However, the people of Xuanqing Temple had already guessed her intentions and had sealed Yun Shu completely with an array in advance.

At this moment, although Yun Shu still had cultivation, she couldn't mobilize even a tiny bit of spiritual energy, so there was no possibility of her committing suicide.

"Yun Shu, let me give you a piece of advice: don't waste your time. Just wait patiently for Lin Feng to show up!"

"Kill Lin Feng and retrieve the treasure, and we might spare your life."

"But if you dare to cause trouble, we have many ways to deal with you!"

Yun Shu struggled desperately, but to no avail. She was bound by numerous arrays and could do nothing, feeling utterly hopeless.

All she could do was keep praying in her heart.

"Lin Feng, you absolutely mustn't come to save me!"

"If you show yourself, we will all die."

"Don't save me! You must live! Avenge me someday!"

Yun Shu prayed that Lin Feng wouldn't come to rescue her, but little did she know that Lin Feng had already made his plans.

Lin Feng couldn't accept that so many innocent people had died because of him.

This is not just a moral flaw; guilt can also affect one's moral compass.

He had to save Yun Shu, and all the innocent people.

But he also knew very well that with his current strength, he was powerless to shake even a Xuanming Venerable, let alone the leaders of other sects and those demonic cultivators. If Lin Feng showed up, he would almost certainly die.

Lin Feng's only remaining trump card is probably this:

That was the Myriad Spirits Banner that Lin Feng brought out from the Tomb of the Underworld Emperor.

This is Lin Feng's only magic weapon capable of shaking a Nascent Soul expert.

This is also the only way for him to break the deadlock, but even if he wants to break the deadlock, it won't be easy and he'll have to plan it out carefully!

Hidden in the desolate mountains, looking at the Myriad Spirits Banner standing before him, Lin Feng felt a pang of sorrow and said sadly.

"If I were to unleash the full power of the Myriad Spirits Banner without any control, the devastating impact would be enough to inflict some damage on Venerable Xuanming, but it would still be far from sufficient."

"I must severely injure Venerable Xuanming in order to have a chance to live."

"But how easy is it to seriously injure a Nascent Soul expert?"

Lin Feng pondered for a long time, his face showing a touch of tragic solemnity, and then slowly spoke.

"It seems like this is the only way we can take a gamble."

After reviewing his plan several times in his mind, Lin Feng confirmed that there were no major problems and immediately began to make arrangements.

As time went by, all the male members of the Lin family had been killed.

Next up are the disciples of Chongyang Valley.

The vast majority of Chongyang Valley disciples who are still alive are filled with resentment towards Xuanqing Temple. Therefore, even when faced with the threat of death, they are not afraid at all and curse angrily.

"You scum from Xuanqing Temple, kill me if you dare!"

"Lin Feng will definitely avenge me!"

The man from Xuanqing Temple sneered, chopped off the disciple's head with a single stroke, then casually kicked it to a nearby young Taoist, saying with a look of disgust.

"Just like before, spread this head to all the major cities!"

Those below dared not neglect their duty and carried the severed head out.

Venerable Xuanming urged them on, and the disciples below gradually lost patience.

"Did we kill too few people? Or is Lin Feng determined to be a coward?"

"Why hasn't he made a single move these past few days?"

"Since killing the people in front was pointless, let's deal with Yun Shu first!"

In Xuanqing Temple's understanding, Lin Feng's most cherished person should be Yun Shu, and the only way they can force Lin Feng to come out is to use Yun Shu as bait.

"If Lin Feng doesn't come out now, we'll tear Yun Shu to pieces! Let's see if Lin Feng comes out then!"

After saying that, a group of people rushed to Yun Shu's side.

"Yun Shu, Lin Feng isn't coming to save you!"

"The suffering that follows is entirely your own doing!"

The leader gave a signal, and the others rushed forward, ready to take Yun Shu out and torture her in public.

However, at that moment, a young Taoist boy ran out in a panic.

"Senior brothers, Lin Feng, he... he's shown up!"

Everyone had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and they immediately asked excitedly.

"Where is Lin Feng? Why haven't we gone to arrest him yet?"

"Has this matter been communicated to the sect leader?"

The young Taoist nodded repeatedly.

"We've already notified the sect leader, and he's on his way."

"That Lin Feng actually appeared in the back mountain of our Xuanqing Temple. The sect leader has given orders that you take Yun Shu and return to Xuanqing Temple as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, everyone began to murmur amongst themselves.

Why was Lin Feng there?

Despite their doubts, they didn't stop what they were doing. A group of people carried Yun Shu and quickly headed towards Xuanqing Temple.

Venerable Xuanming went ahead first, and given his profound cultivation, he moved extremely fast. Before the other disciples had even returned to Xuanqing Temple, Venerable Xuanming had already returned.

He looked at Lin Feng, who was sitting upright in the back, with extreme disgust.

"Lin Feng!"

Upon hearing Venerable Xuanming's voice, Lin Feng slowly raised his head. His face showed no fear, but rather a calm demeanor. He even responded with a smile.

"You've really gone to great lengths to find me."

"No wonder you can't break through to the Nascent Soul stage. You've indiscriminately killed so many innocent people and harmed so many others; it's no wonder you can't break through!"
