Settle a grudge
A light rain began to fall from the sky.
In the vast mountain range!
At the entrance of a slightly dilapidated Mystic Realm, a young man who appeared to be in his early twenties was walking in the light rain.
He wore a gray robe, carried nothing, and had an ordinary, common face, but his eyes were deep with a hint of Vicissitudes, making him seem somewhat extraordinary.
This person was precisely Sword Wushuang, who had previously hidden in Lin Feng's storage ring.
His true name was Sword Wushuang!
"Time passes so quickly! In a blink of an eye, four hundred years have passed!"
Sword Wushuang looked at the sparse light rain and muttered to himself.
Four hundred years, for some powerful cultivators, was merely the time it took to enter seclusion.
But for him, four hundred years was an extremely long and difficult period.
He escaped as a remnant soul, then drifted into the Mystic Ring, going with the flow, and after several twists and turns, he finally fell into Lin Feng's hands.
He had originally thought that, under his guidance, given the talent of the Lin kid, it would probably take hundreds of years to help him get revenge.
He never expected that Lin Feng would have such great luck, being able to become a disciple of a figure like Zhong Qing.
In less than three short years, he had cultivated from a mere mortal to a strong expert at the late stage of the Tianxuan Realm.
Such terrifying growth speed made even him, who was once hailed as the most brilliant and stunning prodigy in the Southern Domain for hundreds of years, pale in comparison.
After all, he had begun cultivating from birth, cleansing his body with the blood of various exotic beasts, and supplementing with various spiritual elixirs and great medicines, yet he only entered the Tianxuan Realm at the age of thirty.
Later, it took him another seventy years, a total of one hundred years, to enter the late stage of the Tianxuan Realm.
In other words, Lin Feng took three years to catch up to his hundred-year journey.
Such terrifying speed of cultivation growth made Sword Wushuang feel even more the terrifying power of Zhong Qing.
After all, he knew Lin Feng's constitution best; it was a rare waste body.
It was all these factors that filled him with confidence and hope for the future.
He believed that as long as the Lin kid was given more time for his cultivation to advance further, his own cultivation would also fully recover by then.
At that time, returning to the Southern Domain to exact revenge would not be a problem!
As soon as he thought of that woman, a surge of hatred churned within Sword Wushuang.
How could he forget!
It was she who ruthlessly struck, slicing open his body with one knife after another, taking the Sword Bone from within him.
It was she who, using her identity as his fiancée, poisoned a group of unsuspecting high-ranking sect members, and then, with the help of her family's power, annexed the entire Sword Sect.
His master, his relatives and friends, one after another, tragically died at her hands.
This hatred, this vengeance, it had been four hundred years, and he dared not forget it for a single day!
Just as his thoughts were churning.
Three figures streaked across the sky.
"Sword Wushuang, long time no see, your demeanor is even grander than before!"
The newcomers were precisely Lin Feng, Su Ye, and Phoenix Aotian.
As Lin Feng spoke, the three of them had already descended directly in front of Sword Wushuang.
Upon hearing this, the latter suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and chuckled, "Why do you have time to see me instead of looking for your beloved?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Feng's mood instantly became depressed.
"It's a long story, so I won't go into it."
"I regret not listening to Sword Wushuang's words and not seeing that woman's true colors.
From now on, that woman and I will have no further connection."
"From now on, there's no need to mention her again."
These words made Sword Wushuang's heavy mood inexplicably dissipate quite a bit.
Without needing to say, he roughly understood what had happened.
This made him somewhat relieved.
After all, when he first saw that woman, he felt that she was not a good match.
Now that the two sides had broken contact, he saw it as a good thing.
His gaze shifted, then he looked towards Phoenix Aotian.
"Who is this?"
"Come, let me introduce you all!"
"Senior Aotian, this is my good friend, Sword Wushuang from the Southern Domain!"
"Sword Wushuang, this is Senior Phoenix Aotian, who is under my master's command and comes from the Central Domain."
These words made Sword Wushuang feel a chill.
A considerable stir rose in his heart.
He knew that Lin Feng's master was quite extraordinary!
What he had seen and heard in the Northern Domain over the past year also confirmed this point.
However, he never expected that the other party would be able to quickly establish a foothold even in a place like the Central Domain.
To the extent that he could even send capable people to bring others to the Central Domain.
But on second thought, it seemed to be within expectations.
Following Lin Feng's perspective, he was arguably the first to witness Zhong Qing's various extraordinary qualities.
Compared to those sacks and sacks of Emperor Scriptures, a Central Domain didn't seem so surprising.
Sword Wushuang cupped his fists and bowed to Phoenix Aotian.
"Sword Wushuang, greetings, Senior Aotian."
Phoenix Aotian nodded.
Lin Feng saw that both sides had greeted each other.
Then he immediately got straight to the point and stated his intention.
"Sword Wushuang, my master has now established a foundation in the Central Domain."
"This time, Senior Aotian is taking me to the Central Domain."
"Once I go this time, I don't know how long it will be before I can return."
"Therefore, I plan to go to the Southern Domain first to remove that persistent ailment in your heart, Sword Wushuang."
These words touched Sword Wushuang's heart.
Their friendship was not in vain.
The other party, before going to the Central Domain, did not forget to resolve the obsession that had weighed on his heart for four hundred years.
"Lin kid, thank you!"
"It's just that my cultivation has not fully recovered yet, and I can only exert Earth Profound Realm battle power."
"And although you are extraordinary and virtually unrivaled within the Tianxuan Realm."
"Is it too early to seek revenge now?"
"You should know that that woman's talent is not much worse than mine."
"Four hundred years ago, she was already a master at the middle stage of the Tianxuan Realm."
"Later, she took my Sword Bone, and with her Double Pupils, her talent and aptitude are far beyond what I had back then."
"Now that four hundred years have passed, it's hard to estimate what level her cultivation might have reached."
In his opinion, to seek revenge, he would have to wait at least until Lin Feng broke through to the Three Yin Realm.
Even to be safe, the Three Yang Realm would be even more secure.
However, Lin Feng listened, then smiled and said, "If we rely on our current strength, it is indeed a bit early to seek revenge, and I don't have much confidence."
"But with Senior Aotian accompanying us, let alone Double Pupils and Sword Bone, even if she had ten more constitutions, she wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble."
Lin Feng had personally witnessed Phoenix Aotian's strength.
This was a supreme expert beyond imagination.
Let alone just going to fight an old woman who had lived for five hundred years.
Even leveling the entire Southern Domain would be more than enough.
"Oh, is Senior Feng Aotian also willing to help?"
Sword Wushuang's face lit up with joy.
He hadn't dared to hope at first that this powerful figure from the Central Domain would participate in his personal grievances.
"We are all family, it's just a trip, nothing major."
Feng Aotian waved his large hand and said heartily.
"Thank you, Senior Aotian!"
Sword Wushuang's heart surged with excitement, and he quickly bowed in gratitude.
This blood feud had weighed on him for so many years, giving him a suffocating feeling of being unable to breathe at many times.
He had originally thought that he would have to wait a while longer to avenge this blood feud, but with Feng Aotian's addition, it would naturally be effortless.
Unconsciously, he looked at Lin Feng with gratitude.
He knew in his heart that if it weren't for Lin Feng, this person would not have concerned himself with his personal grievances.
"Thank you," he said with reddened eyes, full of gratitude.
At the same time, he felt somewhat in a trance.
Who would have thought that the person he had chosen out of desperation back then would bring him such immense help in such a short period of time?
Noticing Sword Wushuang's gaze, Lin Feng grinned and said, "Sword Wushuang, if it weren't for you, I would probably have died before meeting my master.
I should be the one saying thank you all along."
"Good, good, I was being sentimental, haha..." Sword Wushuang laughed heartily.
At this moment, Phoenix Aotian looked at the setting sun in the sky.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "No time to lose, let's set off now! Let's aim to handle this matter cleanly before the moon rises!"
