Novel Full Chapter 141: The Grandmaster Was Not the Grandmaster
Water Mirror Pavilion.
On Heavenly Summit Mountain, the location of the Water Mirror Pavilion and the location of the Slaying Heaven Pavilion are positioned exactly diagonally across the mountain from each other.
Heavenly Summit Mountain, as the former number one immortal sect of the Chenping Continent, is far more spectacular and vast than those who have never set foot upon it could imagine.
However, compared to the Kongshan Sect, the Star Heaven Sect, and the other current Five Great Sects of the Chenping Continent, Heavenly Summit Mountain’s total area might be somewhat smaller.
But the overall built-up area of Heavenly Summit Mountain is equivalent to that of a medium-to-large-sized city.
Its overall layout and planning can be called perfect.
The straight-line distance between the Daoyan Arena and the Water Mirror Pavilion is about ten li.
For Lin Qifeng and Chen Yan, getting from their current location to the Water Mirror Pavilion would only take about the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn.
But…
Lin Qifeng and Chen Yan looked at each other.
Currently, Lin Qifeng’s cultivation is at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm, while Chen Yan is at the peak of the Martial Spring Realm.
With their cultivation levels, this master and disciple pair couldn’t make any waves on Heavenly Summit Mountain. In fact, even ensuring their own safety would be extremely difficult.
Water Mirror Pavilion.
Under the current circumstances, the Mirage Palace’s envoy elder, Elder Zhang, had completely joined He Furen’s faction.
Although Chen Yan believed that among the Mirage Palace’s disciples, there must certainly be innocent ones, now was absolutely not the time to consider those innocent disciples.
“Master, can you contact Martial Uncle Yue or Martial Uncle Zhong right now?”
Chen Yan asked.
“I can. I have a communication talisman on me, but they might not have any free time right now, because…”
Lin Qifeng said.
At this very moment, the battle situation on the Daoyan Arena should still have Yue Chi holding the upper hand.
He Furen’s actual combat power is still slightly inferior compared to Yue Chi’s.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yin and Hu Tianyuan are locked in a bitter struggle with Wen Hongli. As for whether Bai Qiming has joined the battle, that is still unknown.
So…
“Immediately inform Martial Uncle Yue to launch an attack towards the Water Mirror Pavilion’s direction. Spare no cost, use his full strength.”
Chen Yan said this.
“Understood.”
Lin Qifeng nodded in reply.
He harbored no doubts about any instruction Chen Yan gave; his level of trust even surpassed his trust in Yun Yichen.
Lin Qifeng took out the communication talisman from his bosom and then channeled his true qi into it.
“Senior Brother, immediately launch an attack towards the Water Mirror Pavilion’s direction.”
Lin Qifeng said, then added another sentence:
“This is Chen Yan’s order.”
Beside him, Chen Yan’s expression changed slightly.
My order?
Wait, shouldn’t it be my request?
But merely a breath of time later, from the direction of the Daoyan Arena, a massive cyan-blue dragon erupted forth, grinding everything in its path to dust, ultimately turning the entire Water Mirror Pavilion into complete ruins as well.
Excellent!
This is the charm of saturation firepower coverage!
…
Rewind time to ten seconds ago, on the Daoyan Arena.
Controlling the cyan-blue dragon condensed from his innate true energy, Yue Chi completely held the upper hand in his exchange with He Furen.
Although He Furen appeared extremely disheveled, in reality, as long as He Furen turtled up in defense, Yue Chi couldn’t do much to him for a while.
But the situation at the other end of the battlefield was different.
Although Zhong Yin had been constantly engaging Wen Hongli in close combat, and with Hu Tianyuan’s interference, it made it very difficult for Wen Hongli to launch an effective attack.
However, Wen Hongli could afford to make countless mistakes, while Zhong Yin and Hu Tianyuan could only afford to make one.
…No.
If put that way, it might exaggerate the deterioration of Zhong Yin and Hu Tianyuan’s predicament a bit, but they truly couldn’t afford to give Wen Hongli too many opportunities to counterattack.
Every time this Myriad Transformations Realm expert possessing seven thousand strands of innate true energy launched a counterattack, it had the potential to be fatal.
Yue Chi was also very clear about this.
If he could be the first to eliminate He Furen and join the three-way battle between Zhong Yin, Hu Tianyuan, and Wen Hongli, then the hope of achieving victory might become slightly greater.
Conversely, if Wen Hongli managed to eliminate either Senior Brother Zhong Yin or Sect Leader Hu first, then defeat would be certain.
Just as Yue Chi was putting in even more effort, trying his best to suppress He Furen and seize an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, Lin Qifeng’s voice suddenly rang out within his spiritual sense.
It was the communication talisman.
After formulating the battle plan, Senior Brother Zhong Yin had distributed communication talismans to himself, Qifeng, and Yan Tang, so they could stay in contact at any time.
“Senior Brother, immediately launch an attack towards the Water Mirror Pavilion’s direction.”
From the communication talisman, Lin Qifeng’s voice sounded out like this.
Water Mirror Pavilion?
But why?
Immediately after, the voice of Lin Qifeng sounded again in his mind:
“This is Chen Yan’s order.”
“…”
Chen Yan’s order.
Yue Chi’s eyes focused, and he immediately made a decision.
At the very beginning, Yue Chi had once thought that Chen Yan was just some mouthpiece Lin Qifeng had casually found from the outer court, and therefore hadn’t paid him much attention.
But when the news of Chen Yan instantly killing Qi Yadong during the outer court competition reached his ears, Yue Chi quickly realized the situation was unusual.
Yet before he could make his next move, Lin Qifeng had thrown the black pot onto him.
Just as Yue Chi was utterly confused, and before Lin Qifeng was confined to the Rear Cliff, he had managed to see Lin Qifeng once.
“Protect Chen Yan.”
Lin Qifeng had said to Yue Chi at that time:
“He is very likely to be in the same situation as the Grandmaster.”
When these words fell into Yue Chi’s ears, he felt as if struck by thunder, his entire being becoming intensely alert.
Among Yun Yichen’s six disciples, it was him, the Second Senior Brother, who got along exceptionally well with Fifth Junior Brother Lin Qifeng, so close they could be said to share the same pair of pants.
Although Lin Qifeng’s cultivation lagged behind, for some unknown reason, the Grandmaster, who was a Supreme Elder, was extremely fond of this unpromising grand-disciple.
All this was still somewhat normal.
It wasn’t until later, when before the Grandmaster passed away, the last person he wanted to see was not his only direct disciple Yun Yichen, but Lin Qifeng, that everyone realized the Grandmaster’s favoritism towards Lin Qifeng was beyond description.
On the first night after the Grandmaster passed away, Lin Qifeng appeared in the middle of the night in front of Yue Chi’s dormitory room in the Alchemy Hall and knocked on the door.
His entire person was pale, and his eyes were vacant, as if he had experienced something extremely terrifying.
“The Grandmaster was not the Grandmaster.”
This was the first sentence Lin Qifeng spoke.
Not only Lin Qifeng, but even Yue Chi, who was only a Martial Spring Realm cultivator at the time, couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine upon hearing Lin Qifeng suddenly say such a thing in the dead of night.
What kind of statement was that?
Yue Chi couldn’t understand, but Lin Qifeng’s inexplicable reaction genuinely made him shiver.
“The Grandmaster was actually True Person Kongmiao, Yan Yunhe.”
Lin Qifeng said this.
