**

Because the distance was so close, Lin Feng arrived at the patch of forest where the sounds of battle had come from in almost no time.

He landed silently on the branch of a large tree, using the thick leaves around him to conceal his figure.

Gently parting a small gap in the foliage, he peered downward.

Below him, around a dozen people were locked in a chaotic melee within the forest.

Judging by the fluctuations of their Dou Qi during the fight, they were all at the Dou Wang and Dou Huang levels.

Lin Feng’s gaze shifted again.

Soon, he spotted a stone platform about one meter wide located right next to the crowd.

On top of the platform were two holes, spaced roughly ten centimeters apart.

A pair of Y-shaped wooden supports were embedded straight into the stone platform.

Resting on top of the supports was a green scroll, quietly sitting there.

Judging by the look of it, it was most likely a cultivation technique or a Dou Technique.

It wasn’t hard to guess that the reason these people were fighting was to snatch that scroll.

”Heh… Heaven’s really on my side today.”

Looking at the thick grass beside the stone platform, Lin Feng let out a soft laugh in his heart.

Without wasting a second, he activated a long-unused Low-Grade Earth Class stealth technique called Hidden Soul, concealing his presence completely.

Then, without alerting anyone, he moved stealthily through the nearby forest, quietly inching closer to the scroll.

While he was perfectly capable of wiping out everyone below with his current strength…

Why bother wasting that effort when he could just take it without anyone noticing?

Whoosh~

As the battle below raged on, Lin Feng leapt a few times and landed lightly within a patch of grass nearby.

Staring at the stone platform that was now less than two meters away, he lifted his finger and gave a slight flick.

A wisp of Dou Qi shot out rapidly, coiling itself around the scroll.

Then with a gentle tug of his fingers, the green scroll was silently pulled into his hand without making a sound.

After storing the scroll into his storage ring, Lin Feng paused for a moment in thought.

Then, he took out a blank scroll from his ring and casually flicked it onto the spot where the green scroll had originally been.

With the goods now in hand, he silently withdrew from the area without leaving a trace.

As for those Dou Wangs and Dou Huangs, there was simply no way they could have noticed his presence.

Once Lin Feng had left the battleground, Tian Huo Zun Zhe chuckled and said, ”Kid, you really have a twisted sense of humor. I wonder what kind of expressions those people will have when they finish beating each other half to death, only to discover that the scroll’s completely blank. Hehehe…”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but start laughing mischievously as well.

”Well, we couldn’t just let them leave empty-handed, right?”

Lin Feng let out a soft laugh of his own. Then he stopped walking and took the green scroll back out from his ring.

”Low-Grade Earth Class cultivation technique: Wind Force Burst!”

Reading the small characters written next to the scroll, Lin Feng chuckled, ”Looks like this Dou Zun’s Ruins aren’t too bad. Randomly finding a scroll in the forest turns out to be an Earth Class technique.”

”Well, the owner of this spatial barrier was even stronger than me in my prime. A Low-Grade Earth Class technique like this? It’s nothing to him.”

Tian Huo Zun Zhe’s soul power surged from within the ring and scanned over the scroll before commenting casually.

”Heh, let’s check out the rest of the forest. I doubt this is the only stone platform around here.”

With a soft chuckle, Lin Feng put away the green scroll.

Then he dashed off toward a random direction without hesitation.

Just as he had expected, in only about half a day of searching, he came across three more stone platforms.

However, only one of them had been discovered by him first.

The other two were already being contested by others when he arrived.

Taking advantage of his stealth technique, Lin Feng quietly snuck in and took the items without being noticed.

Most of what he acquired were cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques of various attributes.

However, among them was also a sixth-grade medicinal formula.

Although none of these items were particularly useful to him now, they would still be excellent additions to enrich his family’s legacy in the future.

Even though the Lin family remained small in number due to his tendency to massacre countless elite soldiers every time he had a child...

That was only because Xiao Yixian’s Woeful Poison Body hadn’t yet been brought under control, and neither of them dared to take the risk.

But once that issue was resolved, their descendants might very well multiply exponentially.

So naturally, he had to start planning ahead.

”Hmm? A spatial fluctuation?”

After flying for a while longer, Lin Feng suddenly sensed a spatial ripple coming from the forest up ahead. His tone turned slightly curious.

He wasn’t exactly sure what it was, but since it was happening inside this relic site, it was definitely something left behind by that Dou Zun.

With that in mind, Lin Feng shifted his body and dove straight into the dense woods below.

Whoosh whoosh~

Tearing through the canopy of ancient, towering trees and the narrow, densely packed branches, Lin Feng soon landed in the space beneath.

Below the trees was a small, grassy clearing.

Looking down, he saw another stone platform about a meter wide, embedded into the ground.

It seemed to have been there for many years, now almost entirely covered in moss.

However, unlike the previous platforms…the scroll on this one wasn’t just simply placed on a pair of wooden supports.

Instead, it floated twenty centimeters above the platform, suspended by a faint green energy that radiated upward from the stone itself.

Moreover, the scroll was encased in a spatial barrier, shimmering faintly around it.

Judging from the spatial fluctuations emitted by the barrier, even a One-Star Dou Zong could break through it—though it would take a bit of time.

Still, the technique of preservation was clearly leagues apart from the other scrolls.

At a glance, it was obvious that the contents of this scroll were far from ordinary.

”Heh… let’s see what kind of treasure you are.”

Staring at the scroll suspended in mid-air, Lin Feng’s expression lit up with delight.

But just as his excitement flared—

”Hmm?”

His gaze quickly shifted toward the thicket to the left, brows furrowing slightly.

Moments later, five figures emerged from the dense woods and stepped into the small clearing.

Lin Feng’s eyes swept across them.

Three men, two women.

Judging by their mannerisms and appearance, the pair of adults in their thirties appeared to be high-ranking members or elite disciples of some power.

Even the strongest among them, a man, was only at the Nine-Star Dou Huang level.

As for the remaining three, all had white hair and aged appearances.

Two of them—both Six-Star Dou Zongs—stood protectively at the man’s side, most likely serving as elders sent to ensure his safety in the relic.

The last one, a Three-Star Dou Zong old woman, seemed to be accompanying the young lady.

Among all the Dou Zong-level groups that had entered the ruins, this team was considered one of the stronger lineups.

”Young Master, there’s something here!”

One of the old men pointed excitedly at the stone platform, his voice filled with energy as he called out to the youth.
