Frontier Army Warrior

Lacking the swiftness of the past, he walked out like an ordinary old man in the mundane world, exuding a sense of loneliness and dejection.

Lin Feng stared intently at Ji Fengxing. When he saw that the distance between them had been reduced to within a mile, he moved and prepared to run in another direction.

"Stop, stop, Lin Feng, please hear what I have to say..."

Ji Fengxing quickly raised his hand to indicate that he had no intention of taking action, but only wanted to say a few words.

With just these few steps, Ji Fengxing had already decided in his heart that he would no longer get involved in this struggle, would try to break away from the alliance between Gao Zhengqing and Mu Qianyang, and would do his best to reach a reconciliation with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took two steps back, looking at Ji Fengxing warily.

Ji Fengxing wisely stopped and did not approach Lin Feng again.

The two men stood about half a mile apart, staring at each other.

"Lin Feng, you win. I admit defeat. Your sister was only invited to the mountain and was not harmed in any way."

It must have been incredibly difficult for Ji Fengxing to say those words.

As the leader of a top-ranking reclusive sect, he possesses an ingrained pride that prevents him from easily admitting mistakes or giving up.

This is especially true for lower-level cultivators who are far below their own level.

Of course, he no longer believed that Lin Feng's cultivation level was lower than his own.

Lin Feng sneered but did not speak.

Ji Fengxing knew he wouldn't believe him easily, so he could only sigh.

"Lin Feng, I admit your abilities are beyond our control. However, as we can see, it will be difficult for you to defeat me. Why don't you state your conditions and we can call it a day?"

Lin Feng knew that what Ji Fengxing said was true. He didn't have the ability to kill the old man in front of him, so he could only harass him indefinitely and make him miserable.

If the old man is even slightly careless, his disciples will be taken advantage of, and in the end, he will be left all alone.

If it really comes to that point, and this person loses all restraint, it will actually be detrimental to Lin Feng.

"What about the other two sect leaders?"

Lin Feng wanted to know if they had other plans.

Ji Fengxing shook his head, his gray hair and beard disheveled by the mountain wind.

"They have disappeared without a trace, perhaps they have other plans, I am also very puzzled."

"If you want to stop the war, show your sincerity."

Ji Fengxing pondered for a moment: "Your sister is resting in a cave halfway up the mountain. She has food and drink and can sleep peacefully. You can take her down the mountain now."

Lin Feng frowned: "Taking my sister down the mountain is a must. How can you let me go so easily after you've made me suffer like this?"

Ji Fengxing smiled bitterly: "Lin Feng, what more do you want? My disciples have been beheaded by you, what loss have you suffered?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and pointed to the platform in the mountains.

"A mid-level cultivator, who had spent decades cultivating diligently in the mountains, had his head chopped off. Alas..."

Lin Feng snorted coldly: "Hmph, isn't this all due to your greed? You've cultivated for decades, yet you're controlled by greed. I wonder what you're actually cultivating?"

Ji Fengxing nodded: "You are right. It was indeed my greed that led to this. Now that I have repented, I wonder if there is still a chance?"

He had already lowered his stance to the lowest level, and his mentality had long been tormented to the point of collapse by Lin Feng.

Seeing his sincere expression, Lin Feng realized that although his sect was revered by the world, it lacked what he needed.

"Alright, since that's the case, you must swear an oath not to be my enemy again, and then we can call a truce."

Ji Fengxing looked up at Lin Feng in surprise.

"You...you don't have any requests?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Oh, give me back my treasure, and forget about the rest."

Ji Fengxing's expression darkened: "Your treasure is not in my Sword Form Sect. In my judgment, it should be in the hands of Gao Zhengqing and Mu Qianyang."

Only then did Lin Feng learn the names of the other two big shots in the cultivation world.

What is your name?

"This old man is auspicious and swift."

"And Gao Zhengqing is..."

"The head of the Zhengyi Sect."

Lin Feng nodded. Mu Qianyang was undoubtedly the leader of the Zhongxing Sect.

"Okay, let's make a vow. After that, I'll take my sister away and never bother them again."

"Okay, that's it."

After Ji Fengxing finished speaking, he quickly recited a series of vows and devoutly bowed to the sky.

Lin Feng wasn't interested in the content of his oath; he only needed to see the actions he made and feel the sincerity in his heart.

After Ji Fengxing swore an oath in front of Lin Feng, he immediately had his disciple bring out Lin Feng's sister, Lin Shou.

Lin Feng hadn't been home for a long time, so naturally he hadn't seen his younger sister for a long time either.

She has grown quite a bit taller, her face is rounder, and she has grown into a young woman.

She was just an ordinary, country girl, twisting her clothes between her hands, looking reserved.

When she saw Lin Feng, she paused for a moment before shyly calling him "brother."

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, and the two no longer shared the intimate hugging gestures they used to have.

"We're going home now. Master Ji, take care of yourself. Farewell."

"Farewell, Mr. Lin. I have one last question: Is there any possibility that Duan Li, an elder of my Sword Form Sect, may return?"

Ji Fengxing asked cautiously.

Lin Feng turned to look at him and gently shook his head.

"do not know."

Ji Fengxing sighed and fell silent.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment: "I also want to ask one more question: since you stole my treasure, why are you still chasing after me relentlessly?"

Ji Fengxing was heartbroken. His disciples had suffered heavy casualties, and his treasure-hunting plan had failed completely. How could he possibly rebuild his sect?

Especially without Lin Feng's treasures, his cultivation has fallen into confusion again.

"We want to capture you and force you to reveal how to use the treasure."

Lin Feng immediately realized that the old man truly didn't know who had the broken sword.

Judging from his words, it can be inferred that the three sect leaders all doubt each other.

This is the result I wanted.

"In that case, I'll take my leave."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he turned around and beckoned Lin Shou to come closer.

The Sword Formation Sect disciple who escorted Lin out also thoughtfully gave him a package containing some dry food and water for the journey.

Lin Feng put his arm around Lin Shou's waist.

Lin Shou's body stiffened for a moment, then relaxed instantly.

With a gasp from her, Lin Feng lifted her into the air and sped towards the foot of Hidden Pillar Peak.

Lin Shou closed his eyes tightly, wrapped his arms around Lin Feng's body, and buried his head in Lin Feng's chest.

Although their actions remained as intimate as before, they had once again grown a little more distant in their hearts.

Lin Shou couldn't believe it; this was still the same simple, honest brother he knew from back then, the one who was so quiet and unassuming that he wouldn't utter a sound even after three kicks.

Although his brother's abilities exceeded Lin Shou's expectations, it made Lin Shou feel even more unfamiliar with each other and the gap between them.

Lin Feng could also sense from their bodies pressed tightly together that although Lin Shou had the means to live a life of luxury, he had not given up his usual way of making a living.

She was very strong, clearly the result of years of hard work.

Ji Fengxing watched the two disappear into the mountainside silently, feeling slightly relieved, but still worried about Gao Zhengqing and Mu Qianyang.

If they were to join forces to capture Lin Feng and obtain the method to use the treasure, I would be in an even more passive position, forced to submit to them.

The three major sects have been engaged in open and covert struggles for nearly a century, which has caused him a great deal of worry.

I must break through the barrier in front of me as soon as possible, using speed as a breakthrough point, and try my best to enter that unknown realm before the two of them.
