Frontier Army Warrior

Bai Jing comforted him, "With such an announcement, your brother will receive the news. Trust in your brother's abilities; he can handle it. Just focus on keeping an eye on the Eight Prefectures of Zhenxi. That's being responsible for your brother."

Wang Qian was helpless, grinning but not knowing what to say.

Bai Jing reiterated, "Doing your job well is the greatest help you can give your brother."

"Yes, I'll listen to my sister-in-law."

Taihang Mountains.

The sword-shaped gate is located on the Hidden Pillar Peak amidst the mountains.

Between the cliffs and precipices, most of the mountain peak is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the mountain path is extremely steep and difficult to traverse.

After being led up the mountain, Lin Shou was placed in a cave.

The food, clothing, and daily necessities here are very simple, but you won't get cold or hungry.

She sat alone on a makeshift bed in the cave, feeling terrified.

She had never left her father since she was a child. Who knew that she would be tricked out of Lingdouzi Castle and travel such a long distance, climbing to a very high mountain.

I've been away from home for quite some time now. I wonder how my father is doing?

Do you lose your appetite if I'm not around?

Lin Shou hadn't seen her brother Lin Feng for a long time, so when she was tricked into coming to such a far place, she didn't expect Lin Feng to come and rescue her.

However, since Sister Bai Jing is all-powerful, will she bring people to rescue her after learning that she has been tricked?

She was very naive and once vowed to stay at home and take care of her disabled father for the rest of her life, and never get married.

Bai Jing had tried to persuade him many times, and her father had even scolded her, but he couldn't shake her resolve.

Her brother had never mentioned letting her get married, and she didn't know what he was thinking.

Lost in thought, Lin Shou lay down on his thatched bed and fell asleep.

A disciple of the Sword Formation Sect sat cross-legged outside the cave, guarding the entrance.

Although she was supposed to be a guard, in reality, even if Lin Shou were allowed to move freely, she wouldn't be able to get down the mountain.

This steep mountain path is not something an ordinary person can climb up or down.

In a spacious and tall cave on Hidden Pillar Peak, several old men sat, including Elder Duan Li, who had lost half an arm, sitting cross-legged to one side.

Since Lin Feng severed his arm with a broken sword, Duan Li has rarely left his mountain cave where he cultivates. This time, he was summoned by the sect leader to discuss how to deal with Lin Feng.

The three major sects joined forces, and all the sect leaders made appearances.

Although they had agreed to work together to deal with Lin Feng, they were both wary of each other.

Because no one knows which sect has taken away the precious treasure in Lin Feng's possession.

At that time, the three elders joined forces to fight Lin Feng, but were ultimately defeated by the broken sword in Lin Feng's hand.

Although Shuqin from Kunyu Mountain caused them to fail at the last minute, the magical power of the Broken Sword cannot be denied.

Duan Li, an elder of the Sword Formation Sect, and Gui Ju, an elder of the Zhongxing Sect, fled the battlefield one after another, while Yan Su, an elder of the Tianshan Zhengyi Sect, was the last to leave.

The three of them suspected each other about who had taken the broken sword, and no conclusion was reached.

In any case, Yan Su was certain that the broken sword was not in Lin Feng's possession.

Perhaps one of the sects hasn't yet risen to prominence because the Broken Sword is a rare treasure and won't be easily controlled by others.

Therefore, Lin Feng became the most crucial factor.

Whoever captures Lin Feng will have the upper hand. Even if they have the Broken Sword, they will still need to obtain the method to control it from Lin Feng.

This time, the Sword Formation Sect acted first, capturing Lin Feng's sister, Lin Shou, under the guise of recruiting disciples, and taking her to the mountain.

Although this was a despicable act, the other two major sects had nothing to say about it.

Things are very strange.

Elders from the three major sects, who had cultivated for decades, were crippled by a young fellow who appeared to be a rogue cultivator, wielding a broken sword.

Isn't this the most ridiculous thing ever?

They all prided themselves on being from prestigious and righteous sects and had cultivated themselves on the right path for many years. How could they possibly accept such an absurd result?

But the facts were right in front of them, and the leaders of the various sects couldn't help but take them seriously.

If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, the sect's millennia-old techniques and principles will collapse overnight.

The three sect leaders gathered in Taihang this time mainly to discuss the underlying principles, and secondly to capture Lin Feng and force him to reveal the secrets of the broken sword.

The three sect leaders sat cross-legged inside the cave of the Sword-Shaped Sect, their faces grim, none of them speaking, each lost in thought.

They have been sitting here cross-legged for three days without saying a single word.

They're all ancient foxes, having spent years cultivating in the mountains; they can afford to waste this little bit of time.

Finally, it was Mu Qianyang, the sect leader of Zhongxing Sect who cultivated the Qi of Righteousness, who spoke.

"Given our obvious actions, will Lin Feng try to hide?"

His internal energy was abundant, and his voice reverberated throughout the cave.

"Sect Leader Mu, back at Yuquan Temple, in the same situation, Lin Feng did not back down or avoid battle."

Elder Yan Su of the Zhengyi Sect replied in a deep voice.

He had one leg broken by Lin Feng and didn't want to show up, but he was summoned by the sect leader and sat cross-legged behind Gao Zhengqing, the sect leader of Zhengyi Sect.

Duan Li shook his head: "Senior Brother Yan, Lin Feng relied on the broken sword back then, so he acted recklessly. But according to you, the broken sword has disappeared and is not in Lin Feng's hands. It's hard to say whether he will dare to go up the mountain this time."

Gui Ju, an elder of Zhongxingmen, had his left arm severed by Lin Feng at the root. Filled with resentment, he followed along this time without the sect leader's persuasion.

"He can't hide. As the Grand Regent, he has countless troops under his command, as well as many family members, friends, and subordinates. Where can he hide?"

Mu Qianyang shook his head: "That's not right. I think this person has already entered the demonic path and is no longer comparable to the righteous path. I'm afraid he no longer cares about these worldly affairs."

Gui Ju protested, "Sect Leader, but when his master was imprisoned by us, he disregarded everything else and insisted on breaking into the temple."

Duan Li retorted, "After all, he is his master, and he must have some requests regarding cultivation."

"Could it be that Yuquan Temple has also fallen into demonic ways?"

Yan Su frowned and asked.

The crowd fell silent. Upon reflection, they realized that Lin Feng was not a true rogue cultivator, but a high-ranking official, making it impossible for him to escape their pursuit.

But if one truly falls into the demonic path, then things become uncontrollable.

Gao Zhengqing's mind was focused on the broken sword. After pondering for a long time, he finally spoke.

"According to Elder Yan Su, the broken sword in Lin Feng's hand is extremely sharp. It can not only break our true energy, but also act on its own. It is very strange. I think this phenomenon is very close to that of demonic cultivators."

Sword-shaped Sect Master Ji Fengxing nodded: "I also suspect it is related to the demonic path. If one has not fallen into demonic ways, how could such a strange thing happen?"

Gao Zhengqing's gaze swept across Gui Ju and Duan Li's faces in turn.

"In my judgment, this broken sword is not a benevolent object, but a weapon of great misfortune."

After all, he was the head of the Zhengyi Sect, a prestigious sect, and had seen and experienced much. Having cultivated for many years, his judgment was naturally very close to the truth.

Yan Su gave a bitter laugh: "Since it is an extremely ominous object and a demonic weapon, we should stay away from it or destroy it."

He was subtly warning the other two sects that this thing was not to be hidden, as it would bring them danger or disaster.

Ji Fengxing nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's best to destroy it on the spot."

Mu Qianyang was not to be outdone: "Yes, this is an extremely ominous object that will surely bring disaster to the sect. The sooner it is destroyed, the better."

All three sects believed that the broken sword was in the hands of one of them, so they tested each other and were wary of each other.
