Chapter 1308 1307: Hidden in the Clouds and Mist
Lin Fei placed the Nine-tailed Holy Bird and the Little Holy Bird in the Devil's Tower, and then emerged from it.
Then, Lin Fei said to Leng Ying, Qin Yunyue, and others, "We must leave here immediately."
He also instructed Qiu Qiming, saying, "Have Jin Zongfan lead the cultivation experts from Ten Thousand Swords City to return quickly, and make sure no one speaks of having seen us."
The reason Lin Fei gave such instructions was because he foresaw that the Celestial Saint Gem's energy explosion had already caught the attention of many powerful figures on the Holy Dragon Continent.
They would soon find this place, and inquire of the Ten Thousand Swords City cultivators about what happened here.
If the Ten Thousand Swords City cultivators tell them everything, they'll surely covet the Celestial Saint Gem and force the Ten Thousand Swords City cultivators to disclose Lin Fei and the others' whereabouts.
And if the Ten Thousand Swords City cultivators don't tell them, it could bring disaster upon them.
Qiu Qiming agreed and promptly flew towards all the cultivators of Ten Thousand Swords City in the distance.
Then, Qiu Qiming conveyed Lin Fei's words to Jin Zongfan and all the cultivation experts.
Jin Zongfan nodded and immediately led all the cultivation experts to quickly fly away.
After Jin Zongfan and the others had left, Qiu Qiming flew back to Lin Fei and said, "Jin Zongfan and everyone have promised not to reveal a word of today's events to outsiders."
Lin Fei nodded and then said to Leng Ying, Qin Yunyue, and others, "We are leaving here too, but not to return to Ten Thousand Swords City, instead we need to find a secret place, both to wait for the storm to pass and to spend some time cultivating."
The Celestial Saint Gem's energy burst was too startling; Lin Fei believed that any powerful figure on the Holy Dragon Continent would know the Celestial Saint Gem is a treasure of great value and would not ignore it.
So if Lin Fei were to face thousands of strong opponents from the entire Holy Dragon Continent, even if he could remain unharmed, he could not ensure the safety of those around him like Leng Ying, Qin Yunyue, Qin Zimo, and Yuan Yuxi.
It would be safer to have everyone temporarily avoid the many enemies.
During this time, Lin Fei could also help Li Ruyan, Qian Songyixue, Zhang Ruoxi, Li Qing, and others who just came from Huaxia to enhance their cultivation skills.
Qiu Qiming, Qin Yunyue, Leng Ying, and others also greatly supported Lin Fei's arrangement.
"Qiu Qiming, is there any large mountain range near Ten Thousand Swords City where one can hide and cultivate?" Lin Fei asked Qiu Qiming.
Qiu Qiming thought for a moment and said, "The largest mountain range near Ten Thousand Swords City is in the east, called the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. It stretches for thousands of miles with thousands of mountains, making it perfect for cultivation and hiding."
"Alright, we'll go to this Cloud Mist Mountain Range!" Lin Fei said.
The sound of breaking through the air rang out, and Lin Fei and his group quickly flew away.
After Lin Fei and his group left, the ruins of Dragon Tiger Mountain and the surrounding valleys and peaks were restored to their original deathly silence.
At this moment, with a whoosh, a hand emerged from the muddy ruins of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
The mud-covered hand flexed its fingers in the air.
Soon after, another mud-covered hand emerged, clenching its fingers.
This occurred amidst the towering ruins that buried many experts from Ten Thousand Swords City and Liufeng City, and in the deathly silence, if anyone saw this scene, they would be scared out of their wits.
With a whoosh, suddenly a figure sprang out from the mud between the two hands.
This figure wore all black, even having their mouth and nose covered with a black veil.
Though veiled, the clear white hair and sharp eyes, seemingly harboring blades, remained distinct.
The masked elder pulled off the veil to reveal an aged face deep with a stern expression and a hint of murderous intent.
This elder was the City Lord of Panlong City, Qin Ying.
Since escaping from his battle against Lin Fei in Thousand Dragon City, he had been living in hiding, avoiding exposure.
He ordered many cultivators from Panlong City to rebuild Thousand Dragon City and sent millions of dragon gold coins in compensation.
Subsequently, he learned Lin Fei might come to Panlong City to deal with him, so he changed his identity, adopted a disguise, and mingled among the Gongsun family's experts, secretly coming to Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Thus he had witnessed all that happened at Dragon Tiger Mountain today.
Yet while Lin Fei was dealing with the silver scorpion and Liu Jingchen, he naturally didn't notice Qin Ying concealed among the ordinary experts of the Gongsun family.
"Cloud Mist Mountain Range?" Qin Ying frowned slightly, looking at the horizon where Lin Fei and the others had long since disappeared, clenching his fist as he spoke.
————
The Cloud Mist Mountain Range, amidst the vast and dense mountains, stood peaks shrouded by clouds and mist, with the roars of fierce beasts constantly echoing among the peaks.
Adding a layer of mystery and danger to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
Lin Fei, Qiu Qiming, and their group landed in a valley with a hidden geographical location.
This valley was filled with towering trees, almost concealing the small valley.
Not only did the valley have towering trees for cover, but it also had a cave dwelling in the mountain belly.
Seeing how hidden this valley was, along with the even more secretive cave dwelling, Lin Fei's face showed a satisfied smile as he said to Qiu Qiming, "This place is nice, how did you know about it?"
Qiu Qiming said, "I came to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range before, hunting fierce beasts to train and enhance my skills, that's when I found this valley."
Lin Fei nodded, "So it's from your training experience that you found such a great place, no wonder you found it so easily."
The group said this as they walked into the cave within the mountain body.
Several hours later, the Celestial Saint Liu Tiandao and Fan Zong along with eight elders and forty white-clothed Saint Guards landed on the ruins left after the collapse of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Though numbering less than a hundred, this group represented the strongest elite on the Holy Dragon Continent.
"Search for any clues, and find out where Jingchen is," Liu Tiandao's face was no longer relaxed as before.
This is because he had sent a transmission to Liu Jingchen while on his way from the Holy Dragon Realm to Dragon Tiger Mountain, but his son had not responded at all.
This made him suddenly feel a bad omen that something had happened to Liu Jingchen.
The eight elders and forty Saint Guards immediately started searching around.
Soon, they found many corpses in the muddy ruins.
The Grand Elder stepped in front of Liu Tiandao, clasped his hands and reported, "There are many bodies in the mud, unknown which cultivators they belong to."
Looking at the corpses dragged from the mud, Liu Tiandao's face grew increasingly grim. A once mighty Dragon Tiger Mountain collapsed into a huge ruin, with many corpses in the rubble of soil.
Undoubtedly, there had been a celestial battle here.
This deepened his ominous feeling that his son might have been killed by Lin Fei and buried in the giant ruins of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
"Dig for me, use any means necessary to find Jingchen from the mud!" Liu Tiandao almost ordered in exasperated anguish.
"Yes, Celestial Saint." The eight elders' faces changed and quickly complied.
