Demon Dragon Mad God-Chapter 998 - 699

In the endless mist, a white-haired young man strode forward.

Lin Feng had been walking for a day and a night, but in the infinite mist, there was no distinction between day and night.

The space within the mist was distorted, and he simply followed the distorted trajectory of the space, advancing continuously.

Lin Feng believed that as long as he kept walking like this, he would eventually find a way out.

Although his direction occasionally deviated, it wasn’t enough to get him lost in the thick fog.

Time passed, and Lin Feng forgot everything, focusing on his journey.

Occasionally encountering attacks from Demon Beasts, Lin Feng dispatched them with a wave of his hand.

He had now reached the First Layer of the Martial King Realm. Even if he could only exert twenty percent of his strength, he was much stronger than when he first entered the Mist Mountain Range.

Uncertain of how much time had passed, perhaps three days or five days, Lin Feng still hadn’t exited the mist.

At this point, Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel anxious. He didn’t have much time left, with only two months until the eighth of October.

If he continued to waste time in the mist, it would be too late.

He urgently needed time to recover from his injuries, improve his cultivation, and refine his Lifebound Spirit Sword.

Lin Feng didn’t think his current strength could defeat Shangguan Hao.

When he entered the Mist Mountain Range, there were rumors that Shangguan Hao had already broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm and was an unparalleled genius with unknown combat strength.

And he was still only at the First Layer of the Martial King Realm. The gap between them was like heaven and earth.

Therefore, before the eighth of October arrived, Lin Feng needed to recover all his injuries, refine the Lifebound Spirit Sword, and further enhance his cultivation.

Only then would he have a bit more confidence.

"I refuse to believe I can’t find a way out!"

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and continued forward using the same method as before.

Heaven does not disappoint those who strive diligently; after advancing for another five to six hours, Lin Feng noticed the mist thinning slightly ahead.

"Haha!"

Lin Feng was overjoyed; the thinning mist indicated he was likely at the edge of the mist.

Immediately, Lin Feng accelerated his pace, and after about a quarter of an hour, he finally stepped out, and the scene before him became clear.

A vast land stretched out under the bright sun and clear blue sky.

"Finally out!"

Having finally escaped the Mist Mountain Range, Lin Feng’s mood lifted, and all the gloom in his heart disappeared.

After identifying his direction, Lin Feng swiftly set off toward Qingyuan City.

Returning to Qingyuan City had three objectives: organizing City Lord Bai and others, checking on the Heavenly Vault Sect’s development, and taking a period of rest followed by refining the Lifebound Spirit Sword.

As he sped across the vast lands, while passing a mountain range, Lin Feng paused briefly and subdued a Demon Bird at the peak of Level Five in the mountains.

After that, he used the Demon Bird for transportation, while he healed his injuries on its back.

The journey to Qingyuan City was long, and if Lin Feng traveled on his own, it would waste a lot of time. Therefore, to save time, he used the Demon Bird as a means of transport.

Though not as fast as him, the Level Five peak Demon Bird provided time for him to make good use of the journey.

After swallowing healing pills, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the Demon Bird’s back, closing his eyes for healing.

The Demon Bird flew for about ten days before they finally neared Qingyuan City.

Lin Feng opened his eyes and exhaled a murky breath.

By then, after ten days of healing, his injuries were more than half recovered, and part of his strength had returned.

His Essence Qi, while heavily depleted, had not completely restored his full strength despite his injuries healing.

Then, abandoning the Demon Bird, Lin Feng’s figure shot toward Qingyuan City like a stream of light.

Upon returning to Qingyuan City, Lin Feng found that the mansion where the Heavenly Vault Sect used to be situated had completely transformed.

Previously, the Heavenly Vault Sect’s three main halls were separate in three different mansions.

Now, however, the three mansions had combined into a single, greatly expanded, and extremely vast mansion.

Before the mansion, the wide gates stood fifty meters high with an impressive aura.

Two three-meter tall stone lions stood guard at the entrance, adding to the majestic and imposing atmosphere.

Above the gates, the three large characters "Heavenly Vault Sect" were bold and magnificent.

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng couldn’t help but smile; now, the Heavenly Vault Sect truly looked like a sect.

At this moment, the area in front of the Heavenly Vault Sect’s gates was bustling, crowded with a large number of young figures.

With a quick glance, Lin Feng estimated there were at least two thousand people.

"Could it be they’re recruiting disciples?" Lin Feng wondered, stepping forward briskly.

"I heard this time the Heavenly Vault Sect is only recruiting two hundred disciples!"

"I wonder if I’ll have the chance to join the Heavenly Vault Sect?"

"The chances are slim! The Heavenly Vault Sect is now the largest sect within a ten-thousand-mile radius, and its disciple recruitment is extremely strict with very few openings available."

A group of energetic young lads and lasses gathered before the Heavenly Vault Sect, their lively discussions filled the air.

Everyone waited because the Elder conducting the sect’s entrance examination hadn’t yet arrived, and they had been waiting early on.

"Not bad!" Lin Feng scanned the disciples there for the examination and nodded slightly in approval.

These youths, though mostly fifteen or sixteen years old, were no slouches in their cultivation.

Many had reached the Spirit Martial Realm, and a few were even at the True Spirit Realm.

This was far superior to the disciples the Heavenly Vault Sect had previously recruited in Hongyu.

Without lingering any longer, Lin Feng bypassed the crowd and strode toward the Heavenly Vault Sect gates.
