171: Chapter 171 On the Verge of Collapse

Time flew by like a white stallion leaping across a gap!

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed!

During these three days, Lin Feng had remained in the Ji Mansion to Cultivate!

Relying on the numerous cultivation resources in his hands...

And the abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Ji Family...

Lin Feng's cultivation speed could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.

Bang!

Right then, a muffled explosion suddenly sounded from within Lin Feng's body!

The aura on his body abruptly soared into the sky!

"Haha, it's done!"

Lin Feng couldn't help but snap his eyes open and laugh wildly.

Through his hard work during this period, he had finally successfully broken through the shackles.

In one fell swoop, he stepped into the Late Stage of the Divine Transformation Realm!

To achieve this promotion, the many Heaven And Earth Treasures he had obtained from the Ji Family Forbidden Ground were almost completely exhausted.

Next, he would have to find a way to seek out more cultivation resources!

With a thought, Lin Feng quietly glanced at his martial dao panel.

[Host: Lin Feng. (Has one External Incarnation, Middle Stage Core Condensation Realm)

Realm: Late Stage Divine Transformation Realm (Extreme Realm)

Cultivation Technique: Stance Training, Perfection

World-Destroying Sword Art (Incomplete), 36,000/80,000 (Perfection)

Soul-Corroding Curse Scripture, 2,900/40,000 (Proficient)

...

Sword Intent, 3,860/8,000 (Proficient)]

Through this period of secluded bitter cultivation!

Lin Feng's martial dao panel could be said to have taken on a completely new look.

Not only had his own strength risen to the Late Stage of the Divine Transformation Realm!

Even his second Clone had made rapid progress, stepping into the Middle Stage of the Core Condensation Realm.

Knock, knock, knock...

Just as Lin Feng was checking his martial dao panel!

A series of urgent knocks on the door suddenly reached his ears.

Lin Feng hurriedly got up, strode forward, and opened the door to the secret room.

Glancing out, he saw Pavilion Master Ji Linger standing at the door, her pretty face deathly pale.

She looked completely distraught!

"Linger, what happened?" Lin Feng's expression changed as he asked quickly!

"Big Brother Lin, something terrible has happened. Something's gone wrong in Qingyun County!" Pavilion Master Ji Linger said, her voice filled with terror.

"What? Something happened in Qingyun County? What is it?" Lin Feng was shocked to hear this.

Pavilion Master Ji Linger did not answer directly!

Instead, with a thought, she quickly took out a Recording Stone and handed it over. "You should see for yourself!"

Lin Feng hurriedly took the Recording Stone and sent his Divine Thought inside to investigate.

Upon checking, Lin Feng's face changed drastically.

The images inside the Recording Stone were exactly those of Qingyun County!

The entire Qingyun County was completely enveloped in majestic Devilish Qi and Evil Qi, perfectly merging with a thick gray mist.

That Devilish Qi and Evil Qi were like blood-stained signal smoke, rising straight into the nine heavens from afar.

It was a shocking sight to behold!

"This... when was this recorded?" Lin Feng asked with a trembling voice.

"This is a Recording Stone sent by a stay-behind Elder of my Pill Pavilion via a Gale Demon Roc not long ago!

It should have happened two hours ago..." Pavilion Master Ji Linger replied, her face pale.

At this point, she shifted the topic and continued, "According to the message from that stay-behind Elder, the entire Qingyun County is currently suffering from a frantic attack by demons and monsters!

Although all the stay-behind Cultivators in the city are resisting desperately...

Compared to their opponents, their strength is far from enough!

Current Qingyun County is at death's door.

Those stay-behind Cultivators are also retreating steadily and are on the verge of losing the city."

Thinking of his family still in Qingyun County, as well as his fiancée Senior Sister Su Qingya and the others, Lin Feng grew extremely anxious.

He suddenly grabbed Pavilion Master Ji Linger's jade-like hand and said, "Let's go, we must return to Qingyun County immediately!"

"Big Brother Lin, don't be in such a rush!

Before I came to find you, my father had already helped find two Gale Demon Rocs!

They are currently waiting at the front plaza!

As long as we take the Gale Demon Rocs back, we will arrive very soon!" Pavilion Master Ji Linger replied quickly!

"Good!"

Lin Feng nodded!

The two of them flickered simultaneously and rushed toward the plaza.

Soon, they reached their destination!

Lin Feng's gaze swept across!

He saw two massive Gale Demon Rocs standing on the plaza.

These Gale Demon Rocs were Second-Order Peak Yao Beasts!

Their strength was comparable to the Late Stage of the human Core Condensation Realm.

Each of them was as massive as a mountain.

Their bluish-black wings were covered with a thick layer of scaled feathers.

Once spread, they were dozens of zhang wide!

Breezes swirled around them; they were naturally known for their speed.

In Qinghe Prefecture, these Gale Demon Rocs were the best choice for delivering messages and for Cultivators to ride.

However, these Gale Demon Rocs were extremely expensive!

If not for Pavilion Master Ji Linger's father's help, it would have been difficult to find two of them to serve at the same time.

On the plaza, besides these two Gale Demon Rocs...

Hall Master Su Tongtian, Senior Sister Li Mei, Senior Brother Li Qiang, as well as Ji Guang, Ji Ming, and others were all ready to set off.

"Feng'er, you're here!" Seeing Lin Feng, Hall Master Su Tongtian's eyes couldn't help but redden as he said with extreme anxiety, "Qingyun County is currently facing a demon invasion. I wonder how Qingya and the others are doing!"

"Don't worry, Master. Qingya and the others will definitely be fine!" Lin Feng comforted him quickly.

"Yes, there's no time to lose, let's head back!" Hall Master Su Tongtian said loudly.

After speaking, he offered a silent prayer in his heart!

He hoped everything was still in time!

"Alright, let's go!" Lin Feng nodded!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Immediately, Lin Feng and the others leaped up together and stepped onto the Gale Demon Rocs.

Lin Feng, Hall Master Su Tongtian, Senior Sister Li Mei, Senior Brother Li Qiang, and Pavilion Master Ji Linger were in one group!

Ji Guang, Ji Ming, and several powerful Ji Family guards were in the other!

Ji Guang and his group were going to help.

"Father, we're leaving!" Pavilion Master Ji Linger stood on the back of a Gale Demon Roc and called out to Elder Ji Cang below.

"Mm, go ahead. If you encounter difficulties you can't solve, send a message back immediately, and I will send more experts to reinforce you!" Elder Ji Cang replied.

"Yes, I understand!" Pavilion Master Ji Linger nodded!

With that, she suddenly gave the command, "Go!"

Currently, the control tokens for both Gale Demon Rocs were in Pavilion Master Ji Linger's hands!

As her command was issued!

Aowoo...

The two Gale Demon Rocs let out long cries in unison and flapped their wings to take to the sky.

They whipped up a wild wind that blew the surrounding vegetation askew.

Lin Feng and the others stood steadily on the backs of the Yao Rocs, their robes flapping loudly in the high-altitude gale.

Every person's eyes were filled with urgency.

They gazed into the distance toward Qingyun County!

Because there, they had people they cared about.

"Isn't the defense of Qingyun County exceptionally strict? How could those demons and monsters dare to invade on such a large scale?" At this time, Senior Brother Li Qiang turned his head to ask Pavilion Master Ji Linger.

During this time in Qinghe Prefecture, Senior Brother Li Qiang's cultivation had also progressed rapidly, stepping into the Late Stage of the Core Condensation Realm in one go!

"Sigh!" Hearing this, Pavilion Master Ji Linger couldn't help but let out a long sigh and murmured in response, "Actually, this matter is related to us!"

"Ah? Related to us? What do you mean?" Senior Brother Li Qiang asked, completely bewildered.

Pavilion Master Ji Linger explained in detail, "The last time we came to Qinghe Prefecture, didn't Commander Chu Xingchen and the others from the Demon Suppression Division hunt us all the way, only for us to kill several of them in retaliation?

However, Master Li Badao of the Badao Martial Arts Hall and Hall Master Guo Yunxiao of the Fengyun Martial Arts Hall became the fish that escaped the net!

After those two went back, fearing that we would settle scores later, they secretly colluded with demons!

This demon invasion in Qingyun County is related to those two bastards!"

"Just with them, they could organize such a large-scale demon invasion?" Lin Feng chimed in from the side.

Hearing this, Pavilion Master Ji Linger looked at him and answered truthfully, "According to what my Pill Pavilion Elder said, besides those two bastards, there seems to be an invisible black hand behind the scenes, secretly controlling everything!"

"An invisible black hand? Who is it?" Lin Feng asked in confusion!

"I'm not sure!" Pavilion Master Ji Linger shook her head and replied in a low voice, "That Elder suspects that this matter should be inextricably linked to the Heavenly Demon Sect!"

"Ah? The Heavenly Demon Sect is involved too?" Lin Feng was shocked to hear this.

"Yes, there seems to be the shadow of the Heavenly Demon Sect behind it!" Pavilion Master Ji Linger nodded with a solemn expression!

"If it's truly as you say, then this time the matter is a huge problem!" Hall Master Su Tongtian said with deep concern.

After that, everyone fell into silence!

They simply kept urging their own energy, secretly injecting it into the bodies of the Gale Demon Rocs beneath their feet to continuously accelerate their progress.

With the added energy from everyone, the speed of the Gale Demon Rocs surged again.

They turned into bluish afterimages, streaking across the sky and booming straight toward the direction of Qingyun County.

"Father, Mother, Qingya... you must not let anything happen to you!" Lin Feng clenched his fists and gazed toward Qingyun County from afar, constantly praying in his heart.
