When Lin Fei arrived at the Shangguan family, the doors were tightly shut. Lin Fei unleashed a palm strike, gathering the Heaven and Earth Qi, and blasted it towards the gates of the Shangguan family. In an instant, the entire city wall collapsed, revealing a crowd of terrified onlookers.

"Where is your family head?" Lin Fei asked coldly, like a god of death.

The people of the Shangguan family looked at Lin Fei in fear, not expecting this Demon King to return. They wondered if he had come back for revenge.

Among the higher-ups of the Shangguan family, the fear of Lin Fei’s wrath was even more palpable. One person stepped forward and said, "Our family head has already left."

"Where did he go?" Lin Fei had a bad feeling, and his suspicions soon became reality.

"Our family head went to the Murong family."

"Just as I thought."

Lin Fei’s guess was correct. The head of the Shangguan family must have intended to use the Murong family to get rid of him, especially after Lin Fei had slapped him hard and killed Murong Mingsang.

Since that was the case, there was no need to say more. With the Shangguan family head gone, Lin Fei decided to head towards the Four Mountains first to find the whereabouts of the four great seals.

Lin Fei first went to Mount Man because it was closer. However, when he arrived, he found that the Beidou Sect had long since become ruins. Vegetation thrived everywhere, resembling a dense forest.

"It seems the Beidou Sect has declined for over a decade, and still no one is here," Lin Fei murmured to himself, then transformed into a black shadow and vanished in the horizon.

At that moment, among the ruins of the Beidou Sect, a motionless boulder suddenly moved, revealing a human head. The head looked in the direction where Lin Fei had disappeared, then vanished again.

Lin Fei’s next destination was Song Mountain of Zhongyue. Lin Fei admired Master Qiu Lin, although, if not for the near destruction of the Beidou Sect, he might have admired Master Qiu Lin even more.

But everything was over. When Lin Fei arrived at Song Mountain, he found that the small temple where Master Qiu Lin once stayed was deserted, with only dilapidated buildings remaining.

Lin Fei didn’t expect that Master Qiu Lin was also gone, leaving him with a sense of loss, as if the world had changed and the people were no longer the same.

Suddenly!

As Lin Fei was about to leave, he sensed a faint presence in the distance.

With Xia Xue, Lin Fei went to the edge of the mountain, looking at the sea of clouds ahead. The clouds moved slowly like waves in the sea, yet they were pure and immaculate. Lin Fei, with Xia Xue, entered the sea of clouds.

Clearly, he felt a faint Heaven and Earth Qi in the sea of clouds, continuously consuming the surrounding Primordial Energy. If there were no accidents, it must be an animal or a person.

Lin Fei wasn’t sure what it was, but he decided to take a look. After all, there weren’t many in this world who could overpower her.

In the sea of clouds, amidst a white, hazy scene, Lin Fei felt the faint presence and followed it until he found the place he was searching for.

In the sea of clouds, there was actually a tall peak with a flat surface of about one-meter diameter at its top, where an old monk sat motionless amid the flowing clouds.

"Teacher, I am here today to ask you some questions, Master," Lin Fei said.

To Lin Fei’s surprise, Master Qiu Lin was unharmed. Seeing him in person was quite surprising for Lin Fei.

Master Qiu Lin, sitting at the peak, slowly opened his eyes upon hearing Lin Fei’s voice. He looked at Lin Fei, a spark of brilliance flashed in his eyes, then he sighed, "My young friend, Master does not dare to be called so. Now your cultivation has surpassed mine."

Lin Fei shook his head, "Master’s title is not validated by strength, as my teacher told me, and I find it very reasonable."

Master Qiu Lin smiled wryly, having long regretted not helping Lin Fei. However, it seemed heaven had given him another chance.

"You may ask whatever you need," Master Qiu Lin said.

"Master Qiu Lin, I wish to know the whereabouts of the Song Mountain Seal, could you give it to me?" Lin Fei asked.

Master Qiu Lin frowned, "My young friend, do you know the significance of the Song Mountain Seal to Song Mountain?"

Lin Fei shook his head; he didn’t know the causal relationship.

Seeing this, Master Qiu Lin explained, "Actually, the Song Mountain Seal, like the seals of the other mountains in the Five Mountains, has existed since ancient times among the Five Mountains, but no one has ever successfully used it."

Lin Fei was surprised, "Has the Five Mountains Seal ever been gathered before?"

Master Qiu Lin shook his head, closed his eyes, and chanted a Buddhist hymn, "Amitabha, actually there is no evidence to consider. As for whether the Five Mountains Seal has ever been gathered, I don’t know. However, why do you need the Five Mountains Seal?"

After Lin Fei recounted the events, Master Qiu Lin’s brows furrowed tightly, "You did the right thing. You must quickly gather the Five Mountains Seal to prevent the three great villains of the Murong family from getting a step ahead. Otherwise, I’m afraid the entire Ancient Martial World will have no chance to rise again."

"Are those three villains really that formidable?" Lin Fei wondered. No matter how powerful, the three villains shouldn’t surpass the limits allowed by the Lower Realm, meaning they shouldn’t be invincible.

"They are formidable to us. As for you, well, it’s hard to say. The impression you give me runs very deep," Master Qiu Lin remarked.

Lin Fei smiled but said nothing.

At this moment, Master Qiu Lin suddenly turned his gaze to Xia Xue, "My young friend, your friend seems to have some issues."

Hearing this, Lin Fei immediately explained the situation to Master Qiu Lin and requested Master Qiu Lin to think of a way to save Xia Xue.

Master Qiu Lin’s brows creased tightly before looking at Lin Fei, "Heart disease needs heart medicine. My young friend, you are her cure. Since she ended up like this because she cares about you, you should use yourself to save this young lady."

Lin Fei thought about it and agreed with Master Qiu Lin. It seemed he should take the time to ponder how to save Xia Xue after resolving the matter of the Five Mountains Seal.

Afterward, Master Qiu Lin took Lin Fei to the Shaolin Temple on Song Mountain, where they found the abbot. The abbot retrieved a seemingly ordinary seal from the meditation room.

"Is this the Song Mountain Seal?" Lin Fei wondered, seeing nothing special other than a lifelike carving of a small Song Mountain on the seal.

"Haha, my young friend, take it with you. Since the Murong family might know this secret, we should disperse. Otherwise, it will only result in unnecessary casualties..."

It seemed Master Qiu Lin intended to leave Song Mountain, including the Shaolin Temple here...
