Chapter 261
At this moment, Lin Feng was halfway to his destination.
He was reluctant to retreat now, feeling a sense of unwillingness.
Seeing that Jiang Chen had no intention of troubling him, he had no choice but to steel himself and continued moving towards the small island in the lake while maintaining the operation of the 《Ancient Turtle Breath Concealment Technique》.
It must be said that the 《Ancient Turtle Breath Concealment Technique》 was indeed somewhat effective.
Apart from Jiang Chen, none of the other prodigies engaged in battle, nor the hundreds of spiritual rabbits, had discovered his presence!
Overjoyed, Lin Feng finally reached the small island.
Affected by the seventh-grade spiritual fire, the temperature on the island was slightly scorching.
However, there was a hint of coldness as he approached the crystal.
“This is the characteristic of the Mysterious Ice Crystal Fire, hot on the outside and cool on the inside. It will take some time to refine the spiritual fire, so first collect this crystal,” urged Old Man Tianji.
Lin Feng nodded and quickly collected the entire crystal into his spiritual ring.After the crystal disappeared, a bone-chilling wind swept across the once lush island.
In an instant, a heavy snowfall turned the island white.
This sudden change immediately drew the attention of all the prodigies and the spiritual rabbits.
Although Lin Feng had concealed his aura at this moment, there was nothing to hide behind on the island, so he was directly exposed to everyone’s sight.
And when they clearly saw Lin Feng, the prodigies were furious!
It was one thing for someone with strength like Jiang Chen to take the spiritual fire, but how could they allow an unknown monk to snatch the fruits of their hard labor?
“Monk, you’re courting death!” the sixth sword disciple shouted angrily and charged towards the island.
The other prodigies followed closely behind. And behind the group of prodigies followed hundreds of ‘giant spiritual rabbits’!
The small island in the lake was originally the home of these spiritual rabbits.
It was their only haven in this secret realm of constant cold and year-round snow, but now, their home had been destroyed.
This enmity was irreconcilable!
In an instant, whether it was the prodigies or the hundreds of spiritual rabbits, they all targeted Lin Feng, wishing they could tear him to pieces alive.
Seeing that he had incited a mob, Lin Feng swallowed hard and chose to flee.
He slashed out a sword qi with his black blade and then stepped on the air to escape rapidly into the distance.
His speed was so fast that the others could only watch him disappear.
In just a few breaths, he was gone!
The prodigies gnashed their teeth in anger while the spiritual rabbits, looking at their destroyed home, shed tears and completely lost their will to fight.
“Who exactly is that monk?!” the sixth sword disciple shouted loudly.
“Do you want to know?”
Jiang Chen suddenly appeared beside him and said, “I’ll tell you for a thousand medium-grade spirit stones.”
The sixth sword disciple was startled. He didn’t believe Jiang Chen would be so kind, so after much thought, he came to a conclusion.
Jiang Chen just wanted to rob him! Not only did he beat him up, but now he was after his spirit stones!
Helplessly, even if he knew, he couldn’t resist.
In the end, the sixth sword disciple reluctantly took out the money, planning to use it to avoid disaster.
He thought that Jiang Chen would leave after taking the money, but unexpectedly, Jiang Chen actually spoke up after straightening his expression: “That person is Lin Feng!”
Lin Feng?! The sixth sword disciple was shocked!
Although Lin Feng was not listed on the Heaven’s Pride Ranking, many sects paid great attention to this Son of Destiny.
The sixth sword disciple clearly remembered. Lin Feng first joined the Jiuyan Sect, then went to the Buddha Temple, and finally was sent to the Ancient Pill Tower.
This Son of Destiny had something special.
Although he had no impressive achievements and his reputation wasn’t great, after a few months in the Ancient Pill Tower, he had become the first true disciple and even a sixth-grade pill refiner!
Still, the sixth sword disciple felt that Jiang Chen was bluffing.
The Son of Destiny was someone favored by fate. Even if Lin Feng was not good enough, he wouldn’t just wear underwear and pretend to be a shameless monk, right?!
“Thank you for the reminder.”
Although he didn’t believe it, the sixth sword disciple still thanked him with a bow.
There was no helping it. The one with the bigger fist had the say, and he dared not voice his doubts.
“No need, it was just a small effort,” Jiang Chen waved his hand.
Then he suddenly kicked the sixth sword disciple. This unexpected kick caught sixth sword disciple off guard!
After drawing an arc in the air, he fell back into the now-dry lake face-first.
“Jiang Chen, you’re going too far!” the sixth sword disciple leaped up from the lakebed, furious.
It’s too much bullying!
Jiang Chen kicked him for no reason again and again, treating him less than human!
Facing his roar, Jiang Chen just smiled faintly and then suddenly shouted:
“Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon!”
The moment his voice fell, the sixth sword disciple, who had just leaped up, was struck by a golden dragon back into the lakebed.
Despite his resentment and unwillingness, this time, the sixth sword disciple was smart.
He didn’t get up but lay there pretending to be dead.
Seeing that the system’s prompt did not appear, Jiang Chen turned his head and kicked several dazed prodigies into the lakebed.
In the end, there was still no response from the system.
This made Jiang Chen click his tongue and come to a conclusion.
It was becoming increasingly difficult to continuously farm system rewards from the same group of people.
At first, a casual kick would elicit a response from the system. But the more he did it, the harder it became.
Now, even after kicking several people, it was all in vain.
Jiang Chen shook his head, looking helpless.
It wasn’t easy to find a group of normal people, and he had wanted to take advantage of the sixth sword disciple and the others to farm system rewards a few hundred times.
Now that staying was useless, he prepared to leave.
But just as he was about to move, he sensed a presence behind him and felt a pat on his shoulder.
The person behind him was gentle and light in movement, without any hostility, and carried a fragrance.
“Fifth Junior Sister, stop messing around,” Jiang Chen said without turning his head.
The person behind him did not respond but poked his back with a finger.
Jiang Chen frowned. And just as he was about to say something, he discovered… Jiang Lianyue was right beside him.
Her eyes were wide open, staring in disbelief at something behind him.
Then, what he saw when he turned around was a woman in a black gown.
The woman had her hands behind her back. Her face looked somewhat tired, but her sparkling eyes were full of light.
She is Nangong Jiuxi!
The sight of her made Jiang Chen’s brain shut down.
He couldn’t understand why Nangong Jiuxi would appear here.
He had gone through nine reincarnations. Only in the last one, by avoiding meeting Nangong Jiuxi, did he manage to prevent her death.
But in this life, he was destined to ascend and leave this world.
Now, he had encountered Nangong Jiuxi once again…
No matter how the plot crumbled, Jiang Chen had never been afraid.
But at this moment, he truly felt fear.
He was afraid that Nangong Jiuxi would die for him again, and he feared that when the time came for his real ascension, he would not bear to part with this woman who lived and died for him.
“Are you Jiang Chen?” Seeing Jiang Chen in a daze, Nangong Jiuxi smiled.
The familiar smile caught his eye, causing Jiang Chen to feel somewhat dazed.
It was as if he had returned to the previous eight cycles of reincarnation, back to when he first met Nangong Jiuxi.
In every cycle, she smiled just like this.
Then she would ask another question.
“Do you see the red thread between us?”
