550: True Immortal Battle
Soon, the island-wide assembly was held in the central plaza of Illusory Spirit Island.
Countless Cultivators arrived from all directions, surrounding the plaza until it was packed.
When they saw Lin Feng emerge from his seclusion, everyone was incredibly excited and cheered loudly.
Lin Feng stood on the high platform, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below, and declared in a loud voice, “Fellow Cultivators of Illusory Spirit Island, I have been cultivating in seclusion for the past two hundred years, and my cultivation has now greatly advanced.
Illusory Spirit Island has also made significant progress during these two hundred years.
However, we must be clear that various threats still exist around us.
The True Immortal Alliance eyes us covetously, and some restless forces also seek to take advantage of the situation.
Nevertheless, there is no need for anyone to fear.
From this day forward, Illusory Spirit Island will no longer be bullied.
We will carve out our own territory in this sea region with our powerful strength!”
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, the crowd below raised their arms and cheered, their morale greatly boosted.
Just as everyone was cheering, two True Immortal Cultivators appeared suspended in the high sky; one was dressed in white, with an ethereal and immortal demeanor, while the other wore a black robe and had a stern expression.
They looked down at the crowd below, and the white-robed True Immortal spoke, “Island Lord Lin, we are envoys from the True Immortal Alliance.
We have come today to inform you that the True Immortal Alliance’s higher-ups are extremely displeased with your previous attitude.
Two hundred years have passed, and not only have you failed to submit your tribute, but you have also presumptuously attempted to bargain with the True Immortal Alliance.
What kind of decorum is this?”
Lin Feng’s expression remained unchanged as he looked directly at the two True Immortals and said loudly, “Fellow Daoists, Illusory Spirit Island did not intentionally violate the rules.
It’s just that the previous tribute amount placed too great a burden on Illusory Spirit Island; if it continued like that, Illusory Spirit Island would struggle to develop.
The proposal I put forth benefits both the True Immortal Alliance and Illusory Spirit Island, and I hope the True Immortal Alliance can reconsider.”
The black-robed True Immortal snorted coldly and said, “Island Lord Lin, stop quibbling.
How can the rules of the True Immortal Alliance be arbitrarily changed by you?
Today, you must give a clear answer, otherwise, Illusory Spirit Island will not be able to bear the wrath of the True Immortal Alliance.”
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a powerful Qi emanated from him as he said, “Fellow Daoists, I have already said that if the True Immortal Alliance can offer a reasonable solution, Illusory Spirit Island will certainly comply.
But if you insist on coercion, Illusory Spirit Island will not sit idly by.”
Seeing Lin Feng’s unyielding attitude, the white-robed True Immortal frowned slightly and said, “Island Lord Lin, do not be impulsive.
You are not unaware of the True Immortal Alliance’s strength; if a conflict truly breaks out, Illusory Spirit Island will undoubtedly suffer a catastrophic disaster.”
Lin Feng sneered and said, “I naturally know the strength of the True Immortal Alliance.
But Illusory Spirit Island is also not what it once was; if the True Immortal Alliance insists on war, then let us fight and see who can dominate this sea region!”
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, the crowd below gripped their weapons, their eyes filled with determination, ready to advance and retreat with Illusory Spirit Island.
The white-robed True Immortal laughed heartily and said, “Daoist Lin, do not be angry.
I have not come entirely to coerce you this time.
The True Immortal Alliance’s higher-ups are indeed somewhat displeased with Illusory Spirit Island’s attitude over the past two hundred years, but they also know that Island Lord Lin is no ordinary individual, and Illusory Spirit Island, under his leadership, has developed rapidly and should not be underestimated.
We have come today, firstly, to convey the attitude of the True Immortal Alliance’s higher-ups, and secondly, to discuss further with Island Lord Lin to see if we can find a solution acceptable to both sides.
After all, the True Immortal Alliance also does not wish to completely fall out with Illusory Spirit Island; if we can advance hand in hand, it will benefit both parties.
Island Lord Lin, what do you think?”
The other True Immortal then suggested, “Island Lord Lin, the True Immortal Alliance and Illusory Spirit Island both belong to the First Line Sea forces.
If we can turn hostility into friendship and jointly develop the resources of the surrounding sea area, perhaps we can create a win-win situation.
How about the two of us spar with you, Fellow Daoist?
If you can defeat us, we will take it upon ourselves to exempt Illusory Spirit Island from its tribute.”
Lin Feng’s heart stirred upon hearing this; this was a good turning point, as it could both demonstrate the strength of Illusory Spirit Island and secure an opportunity to be exempted from tribute.
He smiled slightly and said, “Are the two envoys serious?
If so, I would indeed be willing to spar with you two.”
The white-robed True Immortal nodded and said, “Naturally, we are serious.
We sincerely hope that the True Immortal Alliance and Illusory Spirit Island can turn hostility into friendship.”
The black-robed True Immortal, however, said coldly, “Island Lord Lin, do not think you can easily defeat us.
Although we do not wish to fall out with Illusory Spirit Island, we will not hold back during the sparring match.”
Lin Feng’s expression was composed as he said, “Rest assured, Fellow Daoists, I will do my best.
If this opportunity can resolve the conflict between us, it will be good for both Illusory Spirit Island and the True Immortal Alliance.”
With that, the three figures moved, arriving at an open sea area outside Illusory Spirit Island.
At this time, many Cultivators from Illusory Spirit Island also rushed over to watch.
They were both worried for Lin Feng and eager for him to display powerful strength and win honor for Illusory Spirit Island.
Lin Feng stood in the center of the sea, his Qi surging around him, his gaze fixed on the two True Immortal envoys.
The white-robed True Immortal and the black-robed True Immortal exchanged glances, then simultaneously attacked, sending One by one of fierce Spells toward Lin Feng.
Lin Feng remained calm, quickly forming hand seals, and spiritual power barriers appeared in front of him, blocking all the Spells.
Immediately after, Lin Feng’s figure flashed, and he rushed towards the two True Immortals like a ghost, a spiritual power longsword condensed in his hand, which he swung at them.
The two True Immortals quickly dodged, simultaneously launching another attack.
For a moment, light flashed across the sea, Spells crisscrossed, and the battle was exceptionally fierce.
Lin Feng immediately summoned his Lifebound Treasure, the Five Elements Revolving Disk and the Starfall Illusion Sword.
These two Magic Treasures had been nourished by his Immortal Spiritual Power for tens of thousands of years.
As soon as they were unleashed, they immediately emitted dazzling light.
The Five Elements Power circulated endlessly on the Five Elements Revolving Disk, and the power of stars flickered on the Starfall Illusion Sword, as if countless stars were forming and perishing within it.
Seeing this, the white-robed True Immortal’s expression changed slightly.
He rapidly moved his hands, chanting incantations, and a massive ice wall instantly appeared in front of him, attempting to block Lin Feng’s attack.
Lin Feng snorted coldly, and with a flick of the Starfall Illusion Sword, a sharp Sword Qi struck the ice wall, instantly carving a huge crack in it.
The black-robed True Immortal seized the opportunity to attack from the side, sending a black flame towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng did not dodge; the Five Elements Revolving Disk spun, and the Five Elements Power surged out, easily dissolving the black flame.
Immediately after, Lin Feng’s figure spun, bringing him behind the black-robed True Immortal, and the Starfall Illusion Sword thrust directly at his back.
The black-robed True Immortal felt a chill down his spine and quickly lunged forward, dodging the blow.
The white-robed True Immortal took the opportunity to attack again, shooting ice arrows at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng waved his hands, and both the Five Elements Revolving Disk and the Starfall Illusion Sword simultaneously emitted light, shattering the ice arrows.
At this point, Lin Feng had gained the upper hand.
He seized the moment, and both the Five Elements Revolving Disk and the Starfall Illusion Sword launched their strongest attacks simultaneously, a five-colored light and a starlight Sword Qi assailing the two True Immortals at once.
