C383 Liu He City
Jia Huang could only helplessly smile when he saw this. He then cupped his hands towards Han Feng, took a step forward, and disappeared into the crowd.
Seeing Jia Huang and Zai Jingtian disappear, everyone looked at Han Feng with even more respect. If there were still many people who doubted Han Feng before, now they could only respect him.
"We have finally settled all these matters. It's time to pay a visit to Dean Loong Yi." Han Feng stepped on the Wind Divine Pattern. Like a sharp sword unsheathed from its sheath, he moved at an incredible speed towards where Loong Yi was.
Before he went into seclusion, Loong Yi told him that Lin Shuang had gone out with Elder Qing Xuan to train. But now that the King's Banquet's examination was about to arrive, Lin Shuang should be back by now, right?
A few breaths later, Han Feng arrived at the courtyard where Loong Yi was. With Loong Yi's senses, he naturally noticed Han Feng's arrival. With a tremble of his palm, he opened the door and let Han Feng enter.
"Greetings, dean." Han Feng bowed to Loong Yi. Loong Yi looked at Han Feng and said with a smile, "I heard that you are already ranked fourth in the Earth Ranking. Not bad. If you have the chance, you can make it into the top three."
"There's no hurry. The King's Banquet's examination will be here in a few days anyway. It's more important to work hard to improve your strength these few days. Your ranking is not high enough." Han Feng said with a smile.
"It's not easy for you to have this kind of awareness. Ranking was only a matter of ranking. As for the result of the King's Banquet... There won't be any effect." Loong Yi nodded, "If you break through to the Earth Energy Stage Level Three and become the champion of the Tianfeng City's examination... There shouldn't be any suspense. "
"The path of cultivation is just a matter of time. I won't force you." Han Feng was very open-minded. With his skill in alchemy, however, he was unwilling. He hoped that every step of his cultivation would be firm and solid. Only then would his foundation be stable and able to support him to an even higher cultivation level.
Loong Yi looked at Han Feng. This student had gone out to train for half a year. His cultivation base had become much stronger, and his vision had also become much longer. He had a feeling that in just a few years, Han Feng would... He would definitely be able to talk to him on equal terms.
Of course, as long as Han Feng didn't become the enemy of Hongtian Academy, Loong Yi really hoped that Han Feng would be able to grow quickly. After all, he had already found out the secret behind Han Feng.
When Han Feng truly became a peerless expert, the entire State of Zhao would tremble, wouldn't it?
"Dean," Han Feng said, "I came this time to ask if Shuang has returned."
Upon hearing Han Feng's question, a complicated look emerged in Loong Yi's eyes. He said, "Don't worry, she will be back soon. You should focus on your cultivation these few days and improve your cultivation base."
Han Feng's expression suddenly became serious. He sensed that something was wrong. "Chief Loong Yi, what happened to Shuang?"
"She..." Loong Yi wanted to tell Han Feng the truth, but he didn't know how to say it.
"Did something happen to her?" Seeing Loong Yi stuttering, Han Feng became even more nervous, "Is it the Marquis's Mansion?"
"No, no." Loong Yi shook his head. He knew very well that an expert of that level was not something that the Marquis's Mansion could produce. In fact, the strength of that expert's finger could destroy the entire Tianfeng City.
Han Feng did not understand what Loong Yi meant. What exactly happened to Lin Shuang while he was away?
"Then let me tell you, you must stay calm and don't act rashly." Loong Yi paused for a moment. Seeing Han Feng nod, he continued, "Alright, I will tell you what happened that day."
"Okay."
"Three months after you left, an expert came to Tianfeng City. For some reason, he took a fancy to Lin Shuang and took her as his disciple. He took her away. "
"Take her as his disciple?" Han Feng's eyes flickered with a terrifying glint. Who was this expert? He actually took Lin Shuang as his disciple.
"I also don't know his identity, but I can see that he really doted on Lin Shuang. Furthermore, we are powerless to stop him, even if the old ancestor personally intervened. We can only let him leave. " Loong Yi sighed. That day, an expert had arrived. They naturally did not want to take Lin Shuang away. The old ancestor of the academy had been alarmed. He wanted to keep ___, but there was nothing he could do.
"The other party is actually this powerful?" Han Feng sucked in a breath of cold air. With the strength of the academy's old ancestor, it was a piece of cake for the old ancestor to crush the Sword Master of the Iron Sword Mountain, but he couldn't stop the old ancestor. It was enough to show that the old ancestor's strength was truly frightening.
"According to my estimation, he should be an Elemental Martial Stage Wu Zong. However, the exact cultivation base is not something I can see through. I'm sorry that I can't protect Lin Shuang. " Loong Yi was a little apologetic. Before Han Feng left, he had asked him to take good care of Lin Shuang. But now that Lin Shuang's whereabouts were unknown, he also felt very uneasy.
Countless thoughts flashed across Han Feng's mind in an instant, and he thought of all kinds of situations that Lin Shuang might encounter. However, after some consideration, he suppressed his excitement. He thought that if the other party wanted to kill Lin Shuang or harm Lin Shuang, he could just use force to snatch her and not use the excuse of taking her in as a disciple. Furthermore, if the other party was really a ferocious and ferocious person, when he was blocking the path of the Hongtian Academy, the other party would be able to kill all the people of the academy.
After all, in the eyes of an Elemental Martial Stage Wu Zong, killing a person was easier than crushing an ant.
After a while, Han Feng said to Loong Yi, "It's not the dean's fault, nor the academy's fault. Shuang's constitution is extraordinary, so it's normal for someone strong to want to take her as a disciple. However, we don't know where they are."
"When Lin Shuang left, she left a message for you, telling you to go to Six Directions City to look for her after you took the number one position in King's Banquet."
"Six Directions City? Where is it?" Han Feng's eyes were filled with doubt. The Six Directions City was definitely not a city of the State of Zhao. The place where such a peerless expert was located should be the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Sure enough, Loong Yi confirmed Han Feng's thoughts, "Six Directions City is a city surrounding the imperial capital of Great Zhou Dynasty. It is divided into six cities that surround the imperial capital of Great Zhou."
Han Feng's heart suddenly shook. Six Directions City was not a city, but six cities. Furthermore, they stood around the imperial capital of Great Zhou.
The imperial capital was the prosperous land of Great Zhou Dynasty. It was where the imperial fortune was located. It could be used as a city around the imperial capital. Six Directions City was definitely not a simple city.
"Lin Shuang only left this sentence when she left. There are countless experts in the Six Directions City. It was said that there were many Elemental Martial Stage Expert of Martial Master Stages, and even Astral Martial Stage Martial Lord were just ordinary people among them. If you can't even obtain the number one position in King's Banquet, you will surely become a nobody in Six Directions City. Trying to find Lin Shuang from her faction is just a dream." Loong Yi said with a meaningful tone. He didn't want Lin Shuang's matter to confuse Han Feng. He hoped that Han Feng could use this matter as a motivation to cultivate and achieve supreme martial arts.
Han Feng let out a long sigh and said, "I will definitely obtain the number one position in King's Banquet. I will definitely go to Six Directions City as well."
"That way, I can be at ease." Loong Yi finally revealed a smile, "This time, Marquis's Mansion and Falling Pavilion will certainly try their best to target you, or rather, our Hongtian Academy."
"What's the attitude of the Nine Saints Sword Sect?" Han Feng also felt a sense of crisis, although the King's Banquet's examination was a personal competition. But if the Falling Pavilion, Marquis's Mansion, and Wuyan Palace were to target the Hongtian Academy at the same time, for the academy... It was also extremely disadvantageous to the academy.
Right now, out of the five major powers, the only one who could ally with the Hongtian Academy was the Nine Saints Sword Sect. In the Nine Saints Sword Sect, there were many powerful young men who had Sword Cultivator, and they had hopes of getting a good ranking in the King's Banquet.
"The Nine Saints Sword Sect still wants to stay out of this." Loong Yi shrugged his shoulders helplessly. The people of the Nine Saints Sword Sect never asked about worldly matters. They maintained their aloof attitude, and there were more Martial Lord Level warriors than the Falling Pavilion. Their overall strength also surpassed the Falling Pavilion, so the Falling Pavilion didn't dare to provoke the Nine Saints Sword Sect. Therefore, the Nine Saints Sword Sect had no reason to go against the Falling Pavilion.
The Hongtian Academy was different. Although the Falling Pavilion couldn't devour the Marquis's Mansion, under the orders of the State of Zhao royal family, the Marquis's Mansion had a suppressive attitude towards the Hongtian Academy. If the Falling Pavilion and the Marquis's Mansion formed an alliance, the final outcome would be to suppress the Hongtian Academy.
In addition to the grudges between the Hongtian Academy and the Falling Pavilion, it was destined that the Hongtian Academy would be isolated from the rest of the world.
"Then we can only rely on our own strength." Han Feng clenched his fists. This time, the King's Banquet would be even more dangerous than before, but the more dangerous it was, the stronger his combat intent would be. Warriors were not afraid of fighting.
"We might not be fighting alone." Loong Yi's eyes sparkled, "Besides the five major powers in the inner city, there will be another major power participating in this year's King's Banquet assessment."
"There are other Martial Lord Level powers in Tianfeng City?" Han Feng didn't understand Loong Yi's words. An examination of this level... Apart from those Martial Lord Level powers, it would be very difficult for the rest of the people to participate in it. Apart from the five major powers in the inner city, there didn't seem to be any other Martial Lord Level powers, right?
"Not in the Tianfeng City, but in the cities under the jurisdiction of the Tianfeng City. Not necessarily not." Loong Yi said with a faint smile, "There is a transcendent power whose overall strength isn't any weaker than any of the cities in Tianfeng City. Do you know that their foundation is comparable to a family in the State of Zhao? "
"The dean is talking about the Longevity Temple?" As soon as Loong Yi finished speaking, Han Feng remembered that this Daoist temple had a deep relationship with him.
"That's right. This year, the Longevity Temple has produced many outstanding disciples. They also want to participate in the King's Banquet's trial. It's a pity that we don't have much of a relationship with the Longevity Temple. I don't know who to send to contact them, but I'm having a headache right now. So you're here." Loong Yi said with a smile.
"Since that's the case, why don't you let me take a trip? I have met Daoist Jiuqing once in the Longevity Temple. He gave me the token so that I can look for him when I have the chance." Han Feng said.
"You want to go?" Loong Yi heard that Han Feng and Jiuqing were close and his eyes lit up. "Alright, I'll write a letter and you can bring it to Jiuqing. I'll get rid of you!"
