While the heads of the various large consortia were busy like a swarm of bees, Lin Feng, who was the person in question, did not know anything at all.

The sect protection formation had already been set up, so he could bring his mother and the others to this place. Firstly, it could increase their cultivation speed, and secondly, it was also convenient for him to take care of.

After he explained the situation to Zhang Wanrong, he first brought his parents from the capital and settled them down. Then, he called over ten people from Du Kui's group and built a temporary house for them to stay in. As for Xu Ruoyun's side, he planned to wait until after he finished participating in the competition with the Nanjiang River's Xu Family, and then bring him here.

After his rebirth, Lin Feng's biggest worry was how to settle the relationship between Zhang Wanrong and herself. But he never would have thought that after the The Vatican War ended, the two girls would become good sisters in the half year that he recuperated from his injuries. This matter was resolved just like that, which saved him a lot of trouble!

"Sovereign, what skill did you use on the mountain peak?" Why is it that at a glance, it's all misty and unable to go any deeper? "

As they were walking up the mountain, Du Kui and his men soon noticed the problem with the dense fog at the top of the mountain.

As the top Ranker of the Central Plains' number one super Martial Family, they couldn't see what was so special about this fog. But with just a glance, she noticed the strangeness of the peak.

"It's just a simplified version of the masking array."

Lin Feng said as he led Du Kui and the ten over people to walk into the dense fog.

"Hua!"

Passing through the masking array, they arrived at the top of the mountain, and everything clearly appeared before their eyes. There was no longer any mist lingering around this place. It was as if the fog that had seemingly covered the entire mountain was just a wall of fog.

At the peak of the mountain, there were many streams of energy that looked very unique. It was like the condensed true essence within a cultivator's body after reaching the Grandmaster Realm.

"What kind of air current is this? It can actually materialize into a human form? "

Du Kui's curiosity was piqued, and as he spoke, he reached out his hand to touch it.

"Don't move, it's dangerous!"

Seeing that, Lin Feng anxiously reminded.

These streams of air were a part of the formation, they were densely packed inside, even if an expert were to pass through the masking array and enter, they would find it difficult to avoid the streams of air. As long as one touched these streams of air, they would instantly activate the defensive and offensive formations.

Beneath the Aurous Core stage, there was no chance of survival. Even if it was a real Golden Core Stage Cultivator, it was not to be underestimated.

"This …"

Du Kui's movements were too fast, when the voice fell, he had already made contact, and stared at Lin Feng nervously, not knowing what to do.

The defensive arrays was instantly activated, and directly bounced Du Kui back. At the same time, the attacking array formation was also activated, and terrifying Sword Qi condensed and manifested, exploding towards Du Kui.

More than a hundred sword Qis surrounded a hundred square meters of area, completely sealing off all Du Kui's escape routes. There was no place for him to escape to.

An incomparably terrifying sharp light was released from the sword aura, and before it had even reached Du Kui, the light of the sword energy had already pierced through the void, and the tip of the sword light was already wreaking havoc on Du Kui's body. In the time it took to take a breath, Du Kui's robe had already become tattered beyond recognition. On her skin, shallow scars also appeared one after another, as if it had gone through a thousand cuts and ten thousand cuts.

"Sect Leader, save me!"

Du Kui panicked as he cried for help. Merely the tip of the sword Qi had already torn his skin apart. If it was the Sword Qi that attacked him, his physical body would have probably been turned into a pile of indistinct flesh and blood in an instant.

As for him, he could only choose to give up his fleshly body and instead cultivate his soul.

Lin Feng waved his hand and struck out.

"Boom!"

There were no fluctuations from the immortal elements or any arts, but even so, the power released was still extremely terrifying. It caused the entire space to tremble. In a trance, one could see the originally tranquil space filled with spiderweb-like cracks.

The violent Qi gathered in the air to form a huge palm, blocking all the Sword Qi.

"Bam!"

Over a hundred sword energies were swallowed up by the huge palm, shattering with a loud rumble.

"Hu!"

Du Kui heaved a sigh of relief.

Su Changgong and his group of ten or so people, felt the same way.

"As expected of an existence that is comparable to a Heavenly Passage Sovereign. This strength is truly formidable!"

This palm strike had also allowed them to clearly recognize the disparity between them and Lin Feng.

A sword aura that was enough to destroy their bodies was something that even Lin Feng could not withstand a casual palm strike with just the strength of his fleshly body. It was enough to see the disparity in their strength;

"Thank you, Sect Master, for saving my life!"

Du Kui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his heart still lingering with fear.

Fortunately, Lin Feng had made his move in time. Otherwise, his body would have been destroyed by the hundred swords in the morning, and would not have existed.

Lin Feng waved his hand, signalling that there was no harm.

"Forget it, let's just insert the spiritual imprint into your bodies first. Otherwise, even if there's no enemies coming for us, this protective magical formation will kill you first!"

As he spoke, he planted his own spiritual imprint inside the bodies of Du Kui and the others:

"Alright, with these spiritual imprint, you can enter and exit the array freely. You won't be affected by the array and will be rejected!"

"Sovereign, what kind of formation is this?" Du Kui asked curiously.

Su Changgong and the other people also looked over curiously.

This was the first time they had seen such a powerful formation. Merely an array's self-defense attack was enough to make a Peak Earthly Immortal expert unable to respond.

Most importantly, depending on the situation, even the Paragons who had just reached the Immortal Realm would not necessarily be able to block it.

"The Purple Bamboo Great Formation is a protective formation that I have set up for our Xinghe Sect." Lin Feng replied casually.

"Amazing, I'm afraid only the underworld clans and sects in the legends can have this kind of formation!" Du Kui and the others' faces were full of worship.

They had seen many protective arrays before, after all, even the sects with Half-step extraordinary had their own protective arrays, not to mention these super Martial Family that had existed for a long time.

However, even though they had seen many protective formations before, they had never seen a formation that could reach this purple bamboo formation. Merely the formation's self-attack had reached such a terrifying level. Before witnessing it for itself, it was simply unimaginable.

The group of people, under Lin Feng's lead, walked quickly, and before long, they entered the villa at the peak of the mountain.

"What a dense Spiritual Aura!"

Entering the courtyard, Du Kui and the rest, were all stunned on the spot.

The difference in the density of the spirit energy between the outside and inside the courtyard was like a completely different world. The concentration of spiritual energy in the courtyard was at least a hundred times higher than outside the courtyard.

"Sect Master... Why is there such a dense amount of spiritual energy in this place? "

After a long while, Du Kui and the others finally regained their senses from their shock.

As the number one super Martial Family of the Central Plains, they were very clear about the current situation of Earth. Even those hidden caves wouldn't have such a dense amount of spirit energy.

"There is a Spirit Gathering Array that I have set up here. It has gathered the spirit energy of two spirit veins, so of course it's thick."

"You're right. Although the spiritual energy in those hidden heavenly passages is dense, compared to this place, they are still lacking a lot!"

Lin Feng had been to the East Sea Shore before, and the concentration of its spirit energy was far from the level of a Feng Shui Treasures.

In comparison, even if one gathered only a single strand of spirit vein energy here, it would still be slightly richer.

"What Spirit Gathering Array?"

"sky-carrier array."

Du Kui and the others were stunned once again. This was the first time they had heard of this Spirit Convergence Array.

The ten or so people muttered to themselves absent-mindedly. Even though they had wracked their brains, they could not figure out the origin of the magical formation.

"Although the sky-carrier array of a Grade Nine Spirit Gathering Formation is an infinitely simplified version, it is still a Grade Nine array after all. The might of the formation is still greater than the countless lower Grade Three spirit formations."

Nine Layered Heavens, based on the difference in power, were separated into nine levels of cultivation.

The power of a formation would increase exponentially with every increase in rank, especially when it reached the final superior third-grade array formation.

"Ninth... sky-carrier array. This must be a magical formation that only the void immortal lived in! "

Du Kui and the others muttered to themselves, as if they had understood something.

… ….

Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already Saturday.

The next day was the day when the Nanjiang River's Xu Family would hold their Annual Family Meeting s.

Under the request of the three Xu Zhennan brothers, Xu Ruoyun's parents immediately agreed to it and returned one day earlier.

Lin Feng accompanied Xu Ruoyun and her family and left early in the morning.

"Nervous?"

In the carriage, father Xu Zhendong asked somewhat nervously.

"Yes."

Mrs Xu, Cui Lijuan nodded.

"Me too. I really hope that I can use this opportunity to truly ease our relationship. In the future, we can be like a real family and stay together properly. "

Xu Zhendong was filled with anticipation.

Although his father did the things that happened over twenty years ago with absolute decisiveness, it was deeply responsible for his love. Moreover, he also did something wrong back then. Thus, even now, he still did not have the slightest bit of hatred towards his father in his heart.

"Don't worry, I've thought a lot these past few days. With Father's character, since he took the initiative to invite us back, he must have put aside all the grudges from back then."

"If my guess is correct, maybe all these years, Dad has always been regretting in his heart, but he just didn't get the chance. It just so happens that in the past two years, you have also achieved good results. Then, Father will make use of this Annual Family Meeting opportunity to have us return to the clan. "

Cui Lijuan comforted softly.

"I'm not worried about Dad's side. The only thing I'm worried about is my stepmother, Zhennan, and the others. Would they be dissatisfied with anything?"

Xu Zhendong was cautious, but right after he finished speaking, he shook his head: "I probably worried too much. This time when I went back earlier, it was the second brother who called."

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Xu Ruoyun. "Did you know? "Your second uncle is calling you. He wanted us to return early so that he could familiarize you with your brothers and sisters."

"Yes." Xu Ruoyun nodded and replied softly.

"It's best if it's like this!"

The cold glint that flickered in Lin Feng's eyes was deeply hidden.
