Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 2261: Chapter 2250: The Fall of a Top Eastern Genius

A few days later, they finally emerged from the Dark Prison and quickly arrived at the Eastern Domain.

The distance to Huaxia was only a few dozen miles.

However, these few dozen miles were just to enter Huaxia’s borders. Now he wanted to return to Zhonghai City, which was truly too far from his current location. Wanting to arrive within the shortest time was still impossible.

“Yiya yiya~”

At this moment, the little creature that had been lying on Lin Zifeng’s shoulder seemed hungry. It waved its small hand and then covered its chubby little belly with a grievance-filled expression, seemingly hungry.

Lin Zifeng chuckled. When they entered the Third Parallel Universe, they were separated for quite a long time. Originally, when Lin Zifeng found the little creature in the Demon Beast Forest, he thought it would have forgotten him. He never expected the little creature’s reaction to be so intense.

“Alright, alright, I can take you to eat something.” Lin Zifeng smiled helplessly.

But here came the problem. After they walked down from a big mountain, they couldn’t see any signs of people. Even the little creature…

“Hey, hey, hey, have you guys heard that the helmsman of the Holy Hall actually died? Moreover, I heard that recently many forces are interested in this big fish, the Holy Hall. Even those two from the Demon God Sect haven’t been idle and seem to have big plans for the Holy Hall.”

“Yeah, I heard about it too. It seems there’s some internal problem with the Holy Hall. Ever since the legendary figure of the Holy Hall died, it’s now just an empty shell.”

A tall and thin man with a mustache said.

“Ah, what a pity. To know that the legendary figure of the Holy Hall could have remained alive would have been great. Now the Eastern vs. Western conflict is about to start. If we in the East had more legends of his level, we might be able to raise the spirit of the Great Eastern!”

Someone else lamented.

“Alas, a legendary genius like Lin Zifeng may not appear in the Great Eastern again. What a pity. If he were given ten years, I believe his potential could rival that of the ancient Liu Shen!”

“Indeed, if he hadn’t fallen, it’s very likely he could have compared with the great talents of the ancient past. But it’s a pity; now he’s already dead. If he were still alive, the upcoming Eastern vs. Western conflict would certainly be interesting.”

Listening to the surrounding cultivators discussing him, Lin Zifeng shook his head with a sigh and a bitter smile.

“Lord Zifeng, they are right. As long as you’re given time, surpassing Liu Shen isn’t impossible. You must know the Beast Emperor’s cultivation has reached the God Realm. At least to me, your potential should count among the top.” Ruoyun’s voice came faintly.

“The ancient Liu Shen is a legendary figure. How dare I compare myself with such a person? Even if you really gave me time, I’m afraid it would be difficult for me to live so long.” With that, Lin Zifeng’s face showed a few strands of a bitter smile.

However, what caught his attention was the internal chaos occurring within the Holy Hall that they’d mentioned.

Could it be that during his absence, the Holy Hall had some turmoil? Did internal strife really occur? Even clowns like the Demon God Sect began to prepare for war against the Hall?

If things were indeed as they said, it would be quite a headache for Lin Zifeng.

The Holy Hall was a creation of his own making. Most importantly, it was the result of his brothers who fought alongside him risking their lives. If internal strife did occur, he really wouldn’t know how to address and resolve this thorny issue.

“Let’s go.” With a somber expression, Lin Zifeng shook his head, deciding to go back and take a look. After all, the turmoil in the Holy Hall couldn’t be taken lightly. If it were really as they said, he would be caught in a difficult situation.

The Artifact Spirit Mu Ruoyun didn’t ask anything. Having followed Lin Zifeng the longest, she could naturally understand his current thoughts and feelings. The little creature picked up a heap of food and gleefully followed Lin Zifeng onward.

Two days later, when Lin Zifeng returned to Zhonghai City, it seemed everything had quietly undergone some changes.

He didn’t use his real appearance to return to Zhonghai. After all, the internal chaos of the Holy Hall had to be tackled from the root cause. Just as the chance came, he wanted to find out who was targeting the Holy Hall, trying to stir internal strife, and then he would capture them all in one swoop!

Walking on the wide street, Lin Zifeng’s appearance had transformed quite a bit. The familiar face had completely changed into another person, so much so that even he couldn’t quite recognize himself.

“Ruoyun, with this appearance, others won’t recognize me. But if I encounter someone familiar, they might still perceive something based on my aura, right?” Lin Zifeng frowned. Although his appearance had transformed somewhat, most wouldn’t recognize him, but if he met familiar faces or foes, it was logical that cultivators with their high alertness could identify others based on aura.

“Heh~ Do you think all the cultivators out there are as lucky as you? You must know you climbed this far thanks to this lady’s help as an Artifact Spirit. If an average person wanted to achieve your level at your age now, even two or three hundred years wouldn’t be enough.” Mu Ruoyun’s disdainful voice leisurely came from within the Magic Bracelet.

“Only stronger cultivators than you can perceive you, those other ants do you really think they’re that capable?” Mu Ruoyun’s voice continued from the Magic Bracelet, proudly saying: “Moreover, finding someone stronger than you in the Mortal World is probably still quite rare, isn’t it?”

“Uh…”

Lin Zifeng paused for a moment, then wiped his nose. While it’s not impossible that there are opponents stronger than him, truly powerful foes are limited. Take the Pope from the Western Bright Church, for example, although she has unparalleled potential, deep cultivation, and great Treasure Techniques, Lin Zifeng now is no slouch either. Truly defeating him completely remains a bit challenging.

“Alright, since this lady has spent so much effort helping you, how do you plan to repay me?” The Artifact Spirit Mu Ruoyun giggled, teasing him.

“Haha… Repay, then tell me Ruoyun, what kind of return would you like?” Lin Zifeng shook his head with a smile, saying: “My brother, apart from some kung fu in bed, doesn’t really know how to satisfy you.”

“Shoo, shoo~ Why do you have to be so improper!” Mu Ruoyun pouted, looking displeased, then gradually retreated into the Magic Bracelet without bothering with him further.
