Capítulo 1114: Chapter 28: Earth Master Lineage and Ning Litao’s Stare

Seeing that even Murong Baichuan, the chief of the Spirit Array Master Guild for the Seventy-two States in the North, was extremely wary of that “force,” Lin Feng knew that the force they were discussing was certainly extraordinary. Lin Feng’s heart stirred as he asked, “Do you know what this force is? Could it be terrifying?”.

Yu Ji said, “In the world, there is the division of Yin and Yang, the division of Sun and Moon, the division of Black and White, which are the two extremes. Many things follow this principle. There is an ancient Heavenly Master Dao lineage, and there is another lineage, which has always been at odds with the Heavenly Master Dao. This force is called the Earth Master Lineage!”.

“Heavenly Master Lineage, Earth Master Lineage, Heaven and Earth… oppositional.” Lin Feng couldn’t help but frown slightly. Just hearing the name, he felt that the Earth Master Lineage Yu Ji spoke of was definitely not simple.

“Is there anything special about this lineage?” Lin Feng asked.

“Very special. In some aspects, the Earth Master Lineage is actually quite similar to the Heavenly Master Lineage,” Murong Baichuan said. “The Earth Master Lineage also possesses many powerful arrays or secret techniques. They can also harness the power of various earth trends, like when you previously dealt with Ning Tushan by using underground Yin Sha Qi. In fact, the Earth Master Lineage has similar means.”

“Does the Heavenly Master Lineage have grievances with the Earth Master Lineage?” Lin Feng asked.

Jiang Yudie replied, “There is a saying that colleagues are enemies… Having grievances doesn’t necessarily mean having hatred. Look at the three factions of tomb raiders: Banshan Taoists, Tomb Raider Captains, and Faqiu Middle Langjings. These three factions have always competed openly and secretly because colleagues are enemies. A single sect eating from this bowl would surely eat more than if three sects shared it, right?”.

“Everything is due to greed!” Lin Feng frowned slightly.

Jiang Yudie nodded, saying, “Indeed, that can be understood. But truly speaking, the grievances between the Heavenly Master Lineage and the Earth Master Lineage are deeper than those between the Banshan Taoists, Tomb Raider Captains, and Faqiu Middle Langjings. The grievances of the tomb raider factions come from interest distribution and competition, while those of the Heavenly Master Lineage and the Earth Master Lineage come from the constraints of heritage.”

Lin Feng said, “Does the heritage of the Heavenly Master Lineage restrain that of the Earth Master Lineage?”.

Yu Ji said, “Strictly speaking, it’s not restraining but suppressing. The Earth Master Lineage has many strong inheritances, and so does the Heavenly Master Lineage. However, the inheritance of the Heavenly Master Lineage is more formidable. Similarly, when manipulating Yin Sha Qi, you can condense Yin Sha Qi into ghostly soldiers and generals. These ghostly soldiers and generals are powerful, whereas the Earth Master Lineage might only manage to condense fierce ghosts. Although fierce ghosts are also strong, compared to ghostly soldiers and generals, they fall short.”

“So, does the Earth Master Lineage envy the Heavenly Master Lineage? And thus, deeply resent the Heavenly Master Lineage?” Lin Feng stroked his chin.

Yu Ji, Jiang Yudie, and Murong Baichuan nodded.

Then Murong Baichuan said, “The inheritors of the Heavenly Master Lineage are extremely rare, and they cannot meet with each other. In other words, each member of the Heavenly Master Lineage is solitary. The Earth Master Lineage does not have such restrictions and has many branches. They naturally covet the inheritance of the Heavenly Master Lineage. Therefore, there have been multiple occurrences of Earth Master Lineage experts attacking members of the Heavenly Master Lineage. Both sides have had victories and losses. The Earth Master Lineage suffered heavy losses, but the Heavenly Master Lineage has also lost some members to the Earth Master Lineage. It’s estimated that the Earth Master Lineage has obtained some of the Heavenly Master Lineage’s inheritance. So you must be cautious. If the Earth Master Lineage learns that there is a new member of the Heavenly Master Lineage, they will surely strike to kill you and seize the Heavenly Master Lineage’s inheritance.

Lin Feng said, “Many killings in the world are driven by greed and jealousy. It would be best for the Earth Master Lineage not to provoke me; otherwise, I wouldn’t mind burying this lineage in the annals of time.”

“With your abilities, being cautious should keep you from harm, but one must also be wary of the Ancient Ning Family,” Jiang Yudie said. “Although the Ancient Ning Family isn’t particularly strong among the Ancient Families, they still have some foundations. Moreover, the ancestor of the Ancient Ning Family is in the Reincarnation Realm, and this person needs to be guarded against.”

Yu Ji said, “The ancestor of the Ancient Ning Family encountered some issues in cultivation and has been in seclusion, so he shouldn’t appear to deal with Lin Feng. However, there is another terrifying person in the Ancient Ning Family called Ning Litao. He is the first pure blood cultivator in thirty thousand years of the Ancient Ning Family, having revived the ancestral bloodline. At the age of sixteen, he participated in the Three Thousand States Heavenly Pride battle, fought against the Supreme Heavenly Pride without defeat. At such a young age, he was already terrifying. Over the years, his cultivation must be unfathomably deep.”

Lin Feng said, “If he seeks me out, I won’t fear him either.”

Yu Ji and the others left one after another, and Moonfall City returned to peace. Yet, many cultivators chose to stay.

They believed that the Ancient Ning Family wouldn’t let things rest but would have a countermeasure, hence their waiting here.

One day, a terrifying aura enveloped Moonfall City. Ning Litao strode through the void, alarming the surroundings. He was like a young Heavenly God, exuding an aura that made countless people feel a suffocating pressure.

“Isn’t that Ning Litao? The leading figure of the Ning Family’s young generation, with a hundred percent pure bloodline. He has come personally.”

“He’s a Supreme Heavenly Pride-level figure. Will he personally challenge Lin Feng?”

…

Many people exclaimed excitedly, feeling that they would witness a pinnacle battle among the young generation of cultivators.

Lin Feng stepped out, hovering over Moonfall City, gazing at Ning Litao.

Ning Litao also looked at Lin Feng. The two locked eyes, and then Ning Litao turned to leave.

“Why did he leave?” many wondered.

Lin Feng frowned. He saw war intent in Ning Litao’s eyes but was confused by his decision not to act.

“The Three Thousand States Heavenly Pride battle is about to begin. Is he planning to act during the Heavenly Pride battle?” Liu Mengyan wondered aloud.

Lin Feng nodded, saying, “Perhaps that’s it.”

Lin Feng stayed in Moonfall City for another half month before leaving, returning to the Azure Cloud Sect.

Then, ten days later, Huangfu Qingtian arrived.

He stood outside Supreme Peak, gazing at the Supreme Peak.

The whole sect was shaken; Huangfu Qingtian approached Supreme Peak with some intent. Did he wish to eliminate Lin Feng ahead of time?

“Senior Brother Huangfu has come; does he wish to drink with me?” Lin Feng appeared, looking at Huangfu Qingtian.

Huangfu Qingtian smiled and said, “Many things have exceeded my expectations, but there’s one thing I want to tell you. No matter how a flea jumps, it’s still just a flea.”

After a deep look at Lin Feng, Huangfu Qingtian left, describing Lin Feng as a flea with contempt and mockery.

Huangfu Qingtian wasn’t trying to provoke Lin Feng; his words reflected his true inner feelings. Huangfu Qingtian simply did not regard Lin Feng.

In his view, Lin Feng was merely a slightly higher-jumping flea.
