Chapter 1245: Chapter 25: The Playboy Offspring of the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple

Lin Feng was arranged to stay in a picturesque courtyard within the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple. Beibei was frolicking and jumping around in the courtyard, playing to his heart’s content.

As the sun set in the west, Lin Feng watched Beibei at play and smiled slightly.

”Great Elder, Young Master Murong Haobo seeks an audience.”

A maid came in to report.

Lin Feng said, ”Let him in.”

Soon, a young man who looked about sixteen or seventeen walked in.

”Murong Haobo greets Great Elder Lin.” Murong Haobo saluted.

”No need for formalities.” Lin Feng waved his hand.

Murong Haobo stood up, curiously looking at the man who was not much older than himself but was said to be the future leader of the Holy Temple.

The story of Lin Feng subduing Murong Jian with a flick of his finger and defeating Vice Hall Master Sun Yongchang had already spread.

Now the entire Holy Temple City was discussing this incident.

Murong Haobo was naturally extremely curious about Lin Feng.

”You are called Murong Haobo, what relation is Vice Hall Master Murong to you?” Lin Feng asked.

”He is my great-grandfather!”

Murong Haobo replied.

”Hmm,” Lin Feng nodded.

Murong Haobo said, ”Great Elder, the carriage is ready. Shall we head to the Four Saints Building for the banquet now?”

”Alright, lead the way.” Lin Feng said.

”Yes,” Murong Haobo led the way, and Lin Feng got into a carriage, which Murong Haobo personally drove towards the Four Saints Building.

”It seems Murong Haobo’s talent must be quite good, so Murong Baishan let him come to drive me. He probably wants me to remember him,” Lin Feng mused, closing his eyes to rest.

...

Niu Dajiang and others had escorted these noble family young masters from the Great Dragon Ancient Immortal Dynasty to the Holy Temple City. Their last task was completed, and a dozen of them were walking down the street.

One person said, ”One hundred eighty years ago, it was also today that we became the guards of the Great Dragon Ancient Immortal Dynasty. One hundred eighty years later, also today, we completed our last guard duty. A cycle of one hundred eighty years, not one day more, not one day less. I just wonder where we will be in the next one hundred eighty years?”

Everyone felt a little sad. They had worked so hard for so many years, hoping to finally earn a manor and territory in the Great Dragon Ancient Immortal Dynasty, but in the end, they fell short, and their hearts were naturally blocked.

Loose Cultivators have it very tough.

They don’t compare to those cultivators from great families and powerful forces, having to worry about many things.

Niu Dajiang said, ”No matter how difficult life is, it must go on.”

”I wonder how Brother Lin is doing; has he found his family?” someone said.

Niu Dajiang said, ”Brother Lin left a jade token with me before he left, telling me to find him at the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple; he said he would find a job for us.”

The others smiled and shook their heads.

Someone said, ”Young people sometimes care a lot about face. Brother Lin is also young, so it’s understandable.”

”Yes, we were also young once. I heard some families are recruiting guards at the Holy Temple City Square. Should we go take a look?” said another person.

Niu Dajiang sighed, ”There’s too much competition over there. I also heard that those forces recruit many times three to five people, and at least one or two people. If the dozen of us brothers go to the Holy City Square to find work, we’re likely to be scattered.”

Another person said, ”Back then, over a hundred brothers set out together, and now only a dozen of us are left.”

Niu Dajiang said, ”I’m planning to go out and find work. What do you think? This way, our last dozen brothers can still advance and retreat together.”

The others all nodded in agreement.

Niu Dajiang and the others came from a small city in the Central Province. Back then, Niu Dajiang led over a hundred brothers out; over the years, with mission after mission, brothers kept dying. Now only a dozen of them remain. Whenever they think of those fallen brothers, Niu Dajiang and the others can’t help but feel sorrowful.

They are Loose Cultivators, the lowest existence in the cultivator world. Perhaps one day, they, like their fallen brothers, won’t know where they’ll end up buried in some desolate mountain wilderness.

Niu Dajiang continued, ”The jade token Brother Lin gave me seems extraordinary. I wonder if it is a family heirloom. Let’s return it to Brother Lin before we leave.”

Someone said, ”If we return the jade token to Brother Lin and Brother Lin sees us, wouldn’t it be awkward if he can’t get us a job?”

The others immediately nodded, thinking it made a lot of sense.

Niu Dajiang said, ”Didn’t Brother Lin go to the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple to find his relatives? Let’s ask the guards at the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple. If Brother Lin has entered the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple, we can give the jade token to the guards and ask them to pass it on to Brother Lin.”

Upon hearing this, everyone thought it was indeed reasonable, so they headed to the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple.

The Spirit Array Master Holy Temple was filled with endless majesty, like a mortal kingdom’s palace, isolated from the outside world.

Niu Dajiang and the others cautiously arrived outside the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple, where they were stopped by the guards.

A guard said in a deep voice, ”Spirit Array Master Holy Temple, unauthorized entry is prohibited!”

Niu Dajiang said cautiously, ”Sir, it’s like this, we are looking for a cultivator named Lin Qing.”

”Lin Qing? There doesn’t seem to be anyone named Lin Qing in the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple,” the guard said.

”It’s like this, Brother Lin Qing came to the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple not long ago to visit relatives; he might have already entered the Holy Temple. Could we trouble you, sir, to inquire?”

Niu Dajiang asked cautiously.

”Liu Linhai, go to the Foreign Affairs Hall to check if there’s anyone named Lin Qing seeking relatives,” Nalan Yuanfang said.

If someone came from outside seeking relatives in the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple and was brought into the Holy Temple, they would be registered at the Foreign Affairs Hall.

”Yes, sir!” said the cultivator named Liu Linhai, and he went to inquire, returning shortly to report to Nalan Yuanfang, ”Reporting to sir, there is no one named Lin Qing seeking relatives.”

Nalan Yuanfang nodded, then looked at Niu Dajiang and others, saying, ”There’s no one you’re looking for, disperse quickly.”

”Yes...” Niu Dajiang and the others didn’t dare to linger, and headed outside.

”It seems Brother Lin hasn’t found his relatives?” someone said.

Niu Dajiang nodded and said, ”Yeah, if Brother Lin had found his relatives, there should have been a record at the Foreign Affairs Hall. Let’s go, let’s look for Brother Lin and see if we can find him.”

A group of a dozen or so people headed outside, when, in the distance, there were a dozen people riding Black Flame Beasts rushing in from the void.

These were a dozen young cultivators, both male and female, recklessly galloping down the street, causing chaos, and many who were slow to dodge were whipped and sent flying.

”A bunch of lowly people, even the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple is not something you can just gawk at!” the young cultivators sneered.

Recently, many people have come to the Holy Temple City to view the mysterious Spirit Array Master Holy Temple.

The vast majority are loose cultivators, and these loose cultivators dare to braving through the Primordial Ancient Forest to arrive at the Holy Temple City not just for the spectacle.

Now, the spirit array masters from across the Three Thousand States are gathered in the Holy Temple City, and these geniuses come from extraordinary backgrounds.

They have high-level family members escorting them here.

These loose cultivators are thinking about finding opportunities to connect with some of the great forces and then rely on them, becoming their guards.

After all, it is advantageous to have a large tree for shelter.

Braving through the Primordial Ancient Forest, some great forces indeed lost many guards, yet very few can stay in the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple.

The vast majority must leave after the finals, thus those departing forces need to recruit new guards to fill the vacancies left by dead guards.

As long as one’s strength is good, loose cultivators can find decent families to rely on.

But as for the high-level disciples in the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple, they look down on these ordinary loose cultivators.

Not to mention ordinary loose cultivators, even amongst aristocratic family’s young masters, most are also looked down upon.

Now, most of the people gathered outside the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple for the spectacle are loose cultivators, and aristocratic family’s young masters are few. If they were great family’s young masters, they need not watch from outside; they can follow their elders to enter and visit the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple. Most of the large families have connections with the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple.

This is why these high-level disciples of the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple act so wantonly and injure people; actually, in any top-level force, there are excellent offspring, average offspring, and naturally, no shortage of prodigal sons.

A group of a dozen people galloped towards the direction of the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple on Black Flame Beasts, lashing out whip after whip along the way. Many cultivators who were slow to dodge were whipped and sent flying; this is the tragedy of loose cultivators in a world of the law of the jungle. Loose cultivators are bullied and even if killed, who would speak for them?

No one would care about the life or death of loose cultivators; it’s a world where people eat people, the most brutal law of survival.

”Snap...” one distinguished young master raised his whip and lashed out again.

Crack.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager suddenly grabbed the incoming whip.

”This is too much, loose cultivators are humans too, aren’t they?” the teenager said angrily.

”Courting death!” One young master, whose whip was grabbed, felt humiliated and struck the teenager with his palm, sending him flying.

Wow.

The teenager was not an opponent; he spat out a mouthful of blood. The young master rode the Black Flame Beast forward, whipping again and again on the teenager, beating him until his skin was ripped and torn.

Many dared not speak out, who would dare to offend such a group of prodigal sons of the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple in the Holy Temple City?

”This kid simply doesn’t know his place, what a thing, how dare he question Young Master Mo?”

A group of people laughed heartily, looking at the half-dead teenager.

Seeing the teenager convulsing from the beating, Niu Dahuo rushed forward, blocking in front of the teenager. He pleaded with the young master known as Young Master Mo, ”Sir, please calm down, this child is still young and offended you. He’s been punished now, please show mercy and let the child go.”

Young Master Mo sneered, ”Today’s really cursed, so many fearless lowly loose cultivators jumping out to bring bad luck to me.”

As he finished speaking.

Young Master Mo whipped Niu Dajiang across the face.

Instantly, Niu Dajiang’s left cheek was flayed, blood spilled out immediately, the flesh turning out, looking quite miserable.
