Chapter 2279 - 2268: Lin Zifeng Who Caused the Death of the National Guardian Martial God

Clad in armor, gripping a longsword, with a resolute expression, it was none other than Jiang Xuefeng, who held the same status as Dongfang Haoxuan!

If Dongfang Haoxuan was the guardian of the entire Lianyun Empire, then Jiang Xuefeng was the last barrier for the royal family of the Lianyun Empire!

All along, Jiang Xuefeng stayed hidden behind the Emperor of Lianyun Empire, almost like a shadow. Though his renown did not match Dongfang Haoxuan’s in the Lianyun Empire, his strength was unquestionable!

This time, he stepped out from the royal family to come to the Martial God Marquis Mansion, having been informed of an ill-intentioned person entering the Marquis Mansion, prompting Jiang Xuefeng to rush over.

Who would have thought, upon his arrival, he was greeted by piles of corpses. The markings on the surrounding armor were all too recognizable, so he hurriedly stepped inside.

Upon seeing the Green-clothed Venerable and the corpse of Dongfang Haoxuan standing aside, Jiang Xuefeng understood everything. Enraged, he acted rashly, intending to slay the Green-clothed Venerable!

But as soon as he launched his attack, a suspicion arose, realizing that someone capable of causing such chaos at the Martial God Marquis Mansion and even killing the National Guardian Martial God was no ordinary individual.

"Judging by your attire, you should be an official of this Lianyun Empire. Although your surprise attack just now angered me, I am feeling benevolent today and will spare your life."

The tone of the Green-clothed Venerable, as it reached Jiang Xuefeng’s ears, held more intimidation than even the Emperor of the Lianyun Empire! Unconsciously, he slowly eased his grip on the longsword.

Seeing all this, the Green-clothed Venerable nodded in slight satisfaction and said in a deep voice, "You are a smart person, so I will be brief. This guy is a traitor pursued by our entire clan. Go back and tell your Emperor to use the nation’s resources to help us track him down."

Pausing a moment, the Green-clothed Venerable saw Jiang Xuefeng furrow his brows, dissatisfied with his orders, and immediately said sinisterly, "Within a month, if I do not hear news of this guy, the fate of the Lianyun Empire will be the same as the Martial God Marquis Mansion today!"

After saying this, the Green-clothed Venerable pulled out a piece of parchment from his bosom. The man in the drawing had a sharp-edged face with a slight, elusive smile at the corner of his mouth...

"Whoosh..."

With a casual toss, the parchment arced through the air, landing beside Dongfang Haoxuan’s corpse. Without turning back, the Green-clothed Venerable flicked his long sleeves and walked away before Jiang Xuefeng!

Taking a step forward, seeing Jiang Xuefeng blocking his path, the Green-clothed Venerable’s face, which carried a slight sneer, froze and slowly turned into the usual menacing air, saying word by word, "Just you? Trying to stop me? I cannot promise not to do something to the Imperial Palace of the Lianyun Empire in a fit of anger."

The words of the Green-clothed Venerable, though light, held a threat that filled Jiang Xuefeng with fear.

Tightly pursing his lips, Jiang Xuefeng’s determined eyes were filled with a complexity of emotions. Finally, in the next second, he did something that was the most disgraceful in his life. Against absolute strength, any unyielding defiance was of no use.

"Boom..."

Lightly stepping aside, Jiang Xuefeng’s original spot on the blood-stained stone slabs was ravaged by his fury, becoming unrecognizable, filled with fissures.

The Green-clothed Venerable took in everything, giving a cold snort before placing both hands behind his back, as a group of them walked indifferently out of the very Martial God Marquis Mansion they had just trampled!

In the courtyard, apart from the corpses on the ground, only Jiang Xuefeng remained. Blood oozed slowly from his clenched fists’ fingers, and it was a long time before he exhaled deeply, reluctantly releasing his grip.

The few casual words of the Green-clothed Venerable, in his ears, were akin to commands issued by a high and mighty emperor to a subordinate. Light as the words were, they could only make him submit!

Shaking his head, Jiang Xuefeng wore a bitter smile as he slowly picked up the parchment that the Green-clothed Venerable tossed to the ground. Staring at the corpse on the ground, now cold, yet with an expression of unreleased defiance, he was filled with emotion...

On the parchment, beneath that sharply contoured face, were written three prominent characters. Seeing them, Jiang Xuefeng mumbled softly, "Lin Zifeng... So you’re the one who caused the death of Marquis Dongfang."

As soon as he spoke, Jiang Xuefeng’s eyes narrowed, recovering the aura of the strong person he once was. The strength displayed by those people today made him realize that when their leader said ’the fate of the Lianyun Empire will be the same as the Martial God Marquis Mansion today,’ it was no joke!

Stowing the parchment in his bosom, Jiang Xuefeng sensed that the city soldiers had already been alerted and, with a flicker of his form, disappeared from where he stood, heading toward the distant, towering Imperial Palace...

In just a few days, Lin Zifeng single-handedly eliminated almost all of the forces that were beaten half dead and in ruins by him, as well as those minor forces that intended to observe secretly, sparing none from his thunderous methods!

"Master Zifeng, have you not planned to face the Holy Hall you built with your real appearance upon your return this time?" Mu Ruoyun reminded him.

All this time, she could see that Lin Zifeng did not intend to show his real face upon his return to the Holy Hall, causing Mu Ruoyun’s heart to have some doubts.

"It’s not the time yet." Lin Zifeng sighed gently. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to return with his real face; it was just that it was still too early.

The Holy Hall now had quietly undergone changes, and his appearance at this time might not bring any benefit to it.

"Ruoyun, if I were to dissolve the Holy Hall now, do you think it would be too reckless?" Lin Zifeng suddenly asked with a smile.

From the current viewpoint, as well as the subtle change in his mentality, the enormous entity that was the Holy Hall had already slipped beyond his control. More importantly, his heart was no longer solely on the Holy Hall.

Allowing the Holy Hall this untethered existence to run rampant was less desirable than dissolving this vast entity. Isn’t it a good thing?

"If it’s a passing thought, I hope you’ll think it over carefully. If you’ve considered it seriously, then I think dissolving the Holy Hall isn’t a bad thing." Mu Ruoyun had followed Lin Zifeng for a considerable time, and since he said so, there must be a reason for it.

"Very well, when we return, we will address the issue of the Holy Hall."

"From your words, why do I feel something is off? Could it be that you still wish to return to the Third Parallel Universe?" Mu Ruoyun asked, surprised.

"Of course, things concerning my parents are still unclear. Besides, we dealt with the Beiyao Ancient Clan so severely, and I imagine they won’t spare the Dongfang Marquis Mansion. When the time comes, if this major calamity befalls the Dongfang Mansion, I fear that everyone there will be implicated."
