Lin Feng walked along the stone path connecting Zone 2 to the northern mountain trail leading into Zone 3. Da Zhuang hurried behind him, his heavy leather boots striking the stone pavers with irregular strides while he wiped sweat from his forehead.

Lin Feng stopped his forward movement, turning his dark pupils toward the large servant.

"You left Uncle Zhu's forge in Zone 1 to watch the assessment."

Da Zhuang halted his steps three feet away, clutching the purse of Gold Coins against his chest

    The beast reacted to the structural damage by rotating its lower torso ninety degrees to the right, sweeping its functional six-foot right claw horizontally across the altar floor in a two-hundred-degree arc aimed at Lin Feng's waist.Lin Feng crouched four inches beneath the sweeping trajectory of the steel weapon, allowing the six-foot claw to pass through empty air two inches above his spine.Before the beast could complete its rotational momentum, Lin Feng stepped directly between its front leg plates, positioning his body mass four inches from the central chest cavity.Lin Feng extended his right palm, driving his open hand directly against the central plate housing the primary red spirit stone core. He channeled five hundred pounds of kinetic output force from his four unlocked spinal vertebrae directly into his palm, releasing a concentrated pulse of silver Divine Sword Qi through the metal armor.The kinetic force and silver energy penetrated the three-millimeter iron chest pl

    "Open the gate!" Lin Feng commanded coldly.Guard Captain Wei exchanged a brief glance with his fellow guard, then inserted a heavy iron key into the copper lock mechanism.A loud metallic grinding sound echoed through the granite pass as the double-leaf iron gate swung inward by four feet, opening a narrow passage into the fog-covered valley beyond.Lin Feng stepped through the threshold into Zone 3, leaving the border post behind.The temperature dropped by fifteen degrees Celsius as Lin Feng crossed into the Forbidden Zone. Thick grey mountain mist filled the narrow gorge, dampening the black soil and obscuring the surrounding pine trees.Sharp currents of residual Sword Qi drifted through the air, colliding with the rock walls and carving hairline fissures into the granite surfaces. To an ordinary cultivator, these ambient energy currents cut into skin and disrupted blood circulation.Lin Feng walked down the winding stone ravine for five hundred yards until he reached the mouth o

    Lin Feng walked along the stone path connecting Zone 2 to the northern mountain trail leading into Zone 3. Da Zhuang hurried behind him, his heavy leather boots striking the stone pavers with irregular strides while he wiped sweat from his forehead.Lin Feng stopped his forward movement, turning his dark pupils toward the large servant."You left Uncle Zhu's forge in Zone 1 to watch the assessment."Da Zhuang halted his steps three feet away, clutching the purse of Gold Coins against his chest while his breathing remained heavy."I could not stay inside the blacksmith shop while Elder Liu arranged a life-and-death match against you, Brother Lin," Da Zhuang said, wiping soot from his jawline. "I snuck out through the rear alley of the forge to enter the central square.""Return to Zone 1 immediately," Lin Feng ordered, his voice flat and firm. "Take the gold coins, stay inside Uncle Zhu's shop, and do not venture into the upper sect zones for the next seven days."Da Zhuang nodded hurr

    In a world where cultivators murdered their own kin for minor resources, an impoverished servant offering six months of savings to protect a friend was a rare sight. Lin Feng felt a rare warmth touch his cold heart as he looked at Da Zhuang's soot-stained face. He closed Da Zhuang's thick fingers back over the stone, gently returning it."Keep your stone, Da Zhuang," Lin Feng said softly, his voice calm and unyielding. "You earned it with your own sweat.""But Brother Lin!" Da Zhuang pleaded, tears brimming in his wide eyes as his chest heaved. "You don't understand!""Zhao Wei didn't come alone this morning!" Da Zhuang continued frantically. "He brought Gao Wu from the patrol squad, and they have wooden clubs and iron-bound rods!"Lin Feng stood up from the timber pile with slow, measured movements that showed no trace of fear. He rolled his shoulders, feeling his spine settle into effortless physical balance despite his empty Dantian. Although his body remained in the Eclipsed State

    Lin Feng shifted his dark pupils toward the narrow gap in the wooden shutter, tracking the faint vibration on the roof of the adjacent blacksmith shop.A cloaked watcher crouched against the damp clay tiles across the alley, remaining motionless in the midnight shade. To an ordinary servant in the slum quarters, the rooftop appeared completely desolate under the pale moon.To an immortal soul that had once commanded ten thousand divine blades, the subtle shifting of weight on the wooden rafters resonated like a struck instrument string.Lin Feng raised his right hand, extending his index finger toward the window crack while channeling a hair-thin needle of raw Sword Qi through the air.The microscopic thread shot through the timber gap, whispering softly against the night breeze before striking the roof tiles.Pft!A clay tile shattered into fine grey dust five inches from the intruder's left heel.The silhouette jerked back instantly, catching a sharp, muffled breath in the quiet nig

    Lin Feng froze his stance instantly as the name Lu Chen vibrated through the air, causing the silver Divine Sword Qi along his three unlocked spinal vertebrae to hum with intense, lethal resonance.The armored envoy stood in the center of the shattered flagstones, holding the blood-red sealed decree aloft as four hundred pounds of physical aura pressed outward from his Fourth Layer cultivation base. Dusty grey stone powder drifted through the air, settling onto the surrounding crowd of silent, terrified servants.Sect Master Ye Cang took two heavy steps forward, placing his left hand onto the wooden railing of the platform to support his frame. His carotid artery pulsed with healthy arterial blood flow as the dark ice toxin remained temporarily neutralized in his upper chest."The Qingyun Sect has guarded the Fallen Sword Valley for three hundred years under the founding charter of the Seven Sect Alliance, so an external envoy holds no unilateral authority to force a territorial surre
