Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Two colossal earth chunks, like meteors falling from the sky, exuded an imposing momentum that left one with no heart to resist.

What’s most terrifying is the strong Yuan Qi fluctuations emanating from the surface of the rocks. Luo Feng thought to himself that even if he pushed his Protective Gang Energy to its limit, it would be shattered in an instant under this attack.

"Is this where we meet our end..."

Luo Feng had never felt so close to death. He gazed at Lin Hongyi’s pale, lovely face, his eyes bloodshot.

He was unwilling to fall here; he still had many things he needed to accomplish.

Hmm?

Under the oppression of the deathly aura, Luo Feng’s spirit was extremely concentrated and he suddenly felt a bizarre Yuan Qi fluctuation.

The sensation of this Yuan Qi fluctuation was very familiar; it was exactly the same as when he was about to step into the Deathless Gate.

"Could it be..."

His thoughts flashed in an instant, and Luo Feng’s mind was filled with various ideas. In that moment, he gathered all his Soul Power with full force.

Buzz!

In an instant, blazing flames flared, and from the Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber burst a scarlet Saber Gang several meters high. With the Grand Momentum’s addition, the scarlet Saber Gang’s aura was extremely explosive, causing the air around to twist violently with heat.

Eh?

In mid-air, Uncle Qiu’s gaze fixed on Luo Feng, his white brows faintly twitching.

In the next moment!

"Slash!"

A massive blade light erupted, soaring into the sky, while the earth chunks on both sides pressed downward like mountains, with a speed faster than lightning.

Boom!

The ground trembled, the rocks easily shattered the blade light, and the resulting shock wave directly engulfed the figures of Luo Feng and Lin Hongyi.

The ground was shaved away, sinking dozens of meters, forming a terrifying circular pit where everything turned into nothingness, including the entire courtyard, and the figures of Luo Feng and Lin Hongyi.

All around, an eerie silence.

Suddenly, Uncle Qiu’s calm voice sounded.

"How did you see through it?"

Swish!

As the voice fell, it seemed as if the sound of flowing water followed.

The ruined scene of the courtyard, like a veil between the sky and earth, peeled away layer by layer, revealing the real scene beneath.

In the courtyard, everything was unchanged from when Luo Feng entered; the barren ground showed no traces of battle.

In front of a stone chamber, Lin Hongyi lay collapsed on the ground, breathing smoothly as if in a deep sleep. Luo Feng stood next to her, face covered in hot sweat, breathing heavily, but with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Twenty steps away from them, Uncle Qiu leaned on his Demon Python cane, standing there as if he had not moved a step since entering the courtyard, quietly watching Luo Feng.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng looked up at Uncle Qiu and said with a smile:

"There was a very sophisticated Illusion Array set up here before, if I’m not mistaken, that Illusion Array was crafted by you, senior."

Uncle Qiu nodded slightly and said, "With that alone, you should not have been able to see through my Illusion Technique."

"Of course."

Luo Feng nodded and continued, "Although I don’t know your Cultivation Realm, senior, since you can make me fall into an illusion without any awareness, your strength is undoubtedly extraordinary. If you truly wanted to kill me, I’d have no chance to resist. Moreover..."

Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, glanced at the unconscious Lin Hongyi, and said:

"Someone who can speak of ’Martial Arts first with chivalry, chivalry with loyalty’ would never break faith and abandon righteousness..."

He naturally wouldn’t mention that the reason he could see through all this as illusions was mainly because of his strong Soul Power, which detected flaws in the illusion.

Uncle Qiu’s murky eyes flashed with a trace of sharp light, showing admiration.

"Very smart. It seems what the young lady said is true; indeed, you are a once-in-a-century talent."

"Lin Hongyi mentioned me to you?"

Uncle Qiu nodded, smiled, and said, "Of course, over the years, you are her first true friend."

Luo Feng glanced at Lin Hongyi, frowned slightly, and asked, "Senior, will she be alright?"

Uncle Qiu walked over to Lin Hongyi, flicked his finger, and a beam of green light shot into Lin Hongyi’s forehead. He said:

"Don’t worry, the young lady’s spirit is merely trapped in the Illusion Technique, a brief rest will help her recover. But you, despite having a lesser Mastery level than her, could still remain conscious under my illusion. It seems your Martial Arts will is extraordinary, or you possess a Soul Power greater than others."

Luo Feng expressed no opinion, but was secretly amazed by Uncle Qiu’s insight.

Sigh!

Turning around, Uncle Qiu waved his hand, and the smooth ground cracked open, ground into powder by Yuan Qi, which then instantly transformed into a stone table and four stone chairs beside it.

Luo Feng clicked his tongue in amazement. He could grind the ground into dust, but to shape the sand and stone again was utterly impossible for him.

This level of Yuan Qi control is indeed unheard of!

However, thinking of the power of the Illusion Technique Uncle Qiu displayed earlier, he felt immediately at ease.

"Sit."

Uncle Qiu sat by the stone table, taking out a pot of hot tea from somewhere, handing Luo Feng a cup.

Luo Feng took a seat beside him without hesitation.

"Senior, was the previous test aimed at junior?"

Uncle Qiu nodded, "Indeed, human nature is unpredictable. Since the young lady brought you here, she already sees you as a true friend. If the information of the Deathless King’s saber leaked here, her life would be in jeopardy, and as her servant, I must ensure her safety, hence testing your character."

Putting down the teapot, Uncle Qiu continued, "You fought for the young lady risking your life, showing that she chose the right person."

Even knowing it was a test, Luo Feng couldn’t help but feel a little anxious and couldn’t help but ask, "If I hadn’t tried to save Lin Hongyi but instead chose to leave..."

"Then you’d already be a corpse. I wouldn’t allow anyone threatening the young lady to exist." Uncle Qiu took a sip of tea, his expression calm as he spoke.

Luo Feng smiled bitterly, realizing that Uncle Qiu wasn’t joking.

Glancing at the Thunder Dragon Saber in the stone chamber, Luo Feng thought for a while before asking:

"Uncle Qiu, why is the Deathless King’s saber here?"

Uncle Qiu glanced at Luo Feng and snorted:

"You’ve already speculated the answer in your heart, so why feign innocence before me?"

Luo Feng smiled softly and spoke directly, "Is there any connection between Lin Hongyi and the Deathless King?"

Uncle Qiu stood up, gazed at the western sky’s sunset, showing a trace of nostalgia, and said:

"My master is the Deathless King."

What!

Hearing Uncle Qiu’s words, Luo Feng’s mind was severely shocked, almost causing him to rise from his seat.

No wonder he was so surprised, the Deathless King fell after battles with North Sea’s talented fighters in Misty Swamp, lastly falling at Blackwater Lake, known by many.

However, that was something which happened a thousand years ago. If Uncle Qiu’s words are true, then the other party is already a thousand years old!

Even for those of Yuan Sea Realm, it is impossible to live that long!
