Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 297: Chapter 296: Falling Star Mountain Range

Shortly after, more people arrived, wanting to use the Teleportation Array to leave the Lingyun Sect.

While chatting idly, some of them mentioned Ling Fei again.

However, only two groups of people mentioned Ling Fei.

”It seems no one else is coming.” On a distant mountain peak, Sect Leader Yuan’s gaze swept over the area. His Heart Spirit took in the entire scene.

”We must monitor both of these groups,” Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun said.

”Don’t be hasty.” Sect Leader Yuan’s expression was calm.

...

「One hour later.」

”Ling Fei has gone to the Falling Star Mountain Range!” Inside the Lingyun Sect, many people received the news.

”He actually went to the Falling Star Mountain Range alone? Heh, this is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!”

”Could this be a trap?”

”A trap? He definitely left alone just now. Besides, no Elders have left the Sect. How could it be a trap?”

”Even if the Sect’s Elders heard the news, it would be too late to follow him now. Ling Fei has most likely already reached the West Mountain Domain.”

”Let’s spread the news first. Then we’ll see if any Elders from the Sect follow him.”

Within the Lingyun Sect, some people were itching to make a move.

「A day later.」

The Lingyun Sect’s Teleportation Array remained quiet.

At the same time, no one saw any of the Sect’s Elders leave.

”No movement!” Seeing this, everyone began to lower their guard.

”Ling Fei went to the Falling Star Mountain Range, most likely to forge his True Dragon Body,” said Li Yufeng. ”Should we notify the people at the Beiming Sword Sect and have them kill Ling Fei?”

”There’s no need for us to inform the Beiming Sword Sect,” Li Qinghou said from the side.

Ling Fei had previously killed Beichen Yu and others from the Beiming Sword Sect. They certainly wouldn’t miss a single move he made.

The news had most likely already reached the Beiming Sword Sect.

”So we’re not going to do anything?” Li Yufeng asked.

”No, we will act. And we will ensure that Ling Fei meets his bitter end in the Falling Star Mountain Range! Otherwise, if we give him any more time, killing him won’t be so easy!” Li Qinghou said. Ling Fei’s consecutive victories against the geniuses of each peak had put immense pressure on him, forcing him to make a lethal move.

Otherwise, he truly couldn’t imagine how powerful this young man would become.

”Then what are your plans?” Li Yufeng asked.

”I’ve already contacted the Blood Killing Sect of the Southern Wilderness,” Li Qinghou said.

”The Blood Killing Sect? That assassin organization?” Hearing this, the color drained from Li Yufeng’s face.

The Blood Killing Sect was incredibly mysterious. During the Ancient Era, their name shook the Southern Wilderness. Although they had declined, no one dared to underestimate them.

It was said that this faction was overseen by Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses.

”Mhm.” Li Qinghou nodded. ”With them involved, our chances are much higher.”

”But the price for hiring them is not small!” Li Yufeng said. Ordinary people couldn’t afford to hire the Blood Killing Sect.

”The price is indeed steep. However, Ling Fei possesses many great treasures. If the Blood Killing Sect kills him, their gains will be substantial, so they agreed.” Li Qinghou continued, ”Besides that, I also gave them a Supreme Treasure I acquired during my years of training in the Southern Wilderness.”

...

”Ling Fei... he actually dares to go to the Falling Star Mountain Range alone?”

”Send men immediately! Find him and make sure he is killed! Yuan Huaitian, didn’t you say the strong shouldn’t bully the weak? Fine! I’ll send countless Celestial Pill Realm powerhouses to ambush your sect’s genius. We’ll see what you have to say then!” Beichen Xinghe said coldly within the Beiming Sword Sect.

”Send people to the Falling Star Mountain Range. If the opportunity arises, kill Ling Fei.” The people of Wind Watching Cliff, Dongze Sect, and Thousand Lakes Mountain also dispatched their members at once.

In an instant, a storm was brewing across the entire Southern Wilderness, with dark undercurrents gathering.

By this time, however, Ling Fei had already arrived at the Falling Star Mountain Range.

The Falling Star Mountain Range was immeasurably vast, and at its center lay a massive, deep crater.

This crater was a thousand meters deep and twenty-eight hundred li wide.

It was said to have been created in the Ancient Era when it was struck by a Star Arrow.

There were numerous spatial rifts here, making it exceptionally dangerous.

However, the Essence Qi in the Falling Star Mountain Range was dense, and one could often find Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence that had been nurtured here. Thus, many Cultivators came here to seek adventure.

Of course, a greater reason the Falling Star Mountain Range attracted so many adventurous Cultivators was the great battle that took place here a thousand years ago between the Marsh King and King Ji.

After that battle, the entire Southern Wilderness learned that the Fallen Star Abyss contained a Supreme Treasure coveted even by the Marsh King and King Ji.

The Marsh King had even been able to rise to supremacy in the Southern Wilderness because of a legacy he had obtained within it.

Who could possibly resist such a great temptation?

At this moment, Ling Fei stood atop a mountain peak. His commanding gaze swept over the enormous Mountain Abyss before him, which was shrouded in clouds and mist.

”This Mountain Abyss is almost exactly as the Marsh King described,” Ling Fei murmured.

At the same time, he carefully sensed the nearby fluctuations, searching for the route that had appeared in his mind.

The Marsh King had described the most convenient route to Ling Fei.

Reaching out with his Heart Spirit Sensing, Ling Fei could detect some faint fluctuations coming from the Mountain Abyss ahead.

They were spatial fluctuations, giving off a dangerous feeling.

’The spatial fluctuations are strongest to the west. Yes, that’s it. The Marsh King said that area is the most dangerous, with many spatial rifts, but the True Dragon Ancient Hall is located within a Qi Vortex in that very region. Later generations know there are ancient ruins here, but few know that the True Dragon Ancient Hall is located there.’

With a thought, Ling Fei confirmed the direction.

Then, with a movement, he urged the Golden Eagle to fly toward the Mountain Abyss.

The Mountain Abyss was wreathed in mist. Just as Ling Fei entered, the cries of various birds rang out.

’There are still a lot of Demon Beasts here.’ As he went deeper, Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit detected many avian Demon Beasts.

’Fortunately, there are no Nascent Soul Realm Great Demons here, or this would be troublesome.’ Relying on his powerful Soul Power, Ling Fei could easily avoid danger.

At the same time, his current Cultivation was no longer what it used to be.

Having reached the Small Primordial Pill Realm, his combat strength was beyond compare to that of ordinary people.

What’s more, his methods were not weak either.

And so, Ling Fei continued forward, soon venturing a hundred li deep into the Mountain Abyss.

But as he went deeper into the mountain range, Ling Fei discovered many Cultivators heading toward the outer areas.

From their appearance, they were clearly searching for someone.

”I heard that Ling Fei came to this Falling Star Mountain Range. The Elder has ordered us to assist in the search. If we get a chance, we are to kill him on sight.”

”This Fallen Star Abyss is shrouded in mist. It won’t be easy to find anyone!”

”Don’t worry. This time, all the major sects will be looking for a chance to deal with Ling Fei.”

”Didn’t you see? People from sects like the Dongze Sect, Wind Watching Cliff, and Thousand Lakes Mountain are all starting to pull back from the depths. They must also want to be the first to find Ling Fei. I heard he seized a lot of Profound Spirit Treasures back then. Killing him is the same as getting a Profound Spirit Treasure!”

”That’s right. We absolutely can’t let someone else find Ling Fei first.”

Within the mountain range, many people had received the news and were coming to find Ling Fei.

After all, killing Ling Fei was equivalent to obtaining a significant opportunity, and they would also receive a reward from their sect.

How could these people pass up such a chance?

Many of the people who came here had reached the Celestial Pill Realm.

Ling Fei extended his Heart Spirit, taking in their discussion. ’Those are people from the Beiming Sword Sect,’ he mused. ’It looks like all the major sects already know I’ve come to the Falling Star Mountain Range. The news certainly travels fast!’ With that, Ling Fei retracted his Heart Spirit.
