CHAPTER 239: STUNNED

They were about seventy metres away and he could easily control this saber at that distance.

Pei Lingxi, Lian Zhi and Bai Lian had been looking at him the whole time.

When he came out of the residence Bai Lian asked, "Was something important brother Feng?"

Lin Feng shook his head. "Not really. Don’t be concerned about it."

They all nodded, although they were still curious about why he had gone inside the residence.

There was another group who was paying attention to the masked cultivator. It was Yun Zhihao’s group.

"What do you think? If I killed this wretch then would Pei Lingxi and Lian Zhi take revenge?" Yun Zhihao was quite pleased to hear the conditions of the test.

With these conditions he didn’t have to create some loophole to kill this masked cultivator and he could even torture this guy to his heart’s content as no one could interfere between them. The only problem was afterwards.

"Why would they? Will they kill a disciple of their own sect for some unknown swine?" Rong Chengyu spoke, although inwardly he thought differently.

If this masked cultivator was really deeply attached to Lian Zhi and Pei Lingxi then they might kill Yun Zhihao in a fit of rage, it would amusing and perfect.

Ma Tianqi shook his head. "You should be careful." He didn’t say much. What Yun Zhihao did would be his choice.

Yun Zhihao gritted his teeth. "I doubt they will do anything. The sect would punish them harshly."

Their sect had a rule to stay together and help each other in inheritance sites like this. This rule also stated that the strongest among all could act as leader of the whole group. This helped to minimise friction among themselves.

Yun Zhihao doubted that by just dual cultivating Lian Zhi and Pei Lingxi would reach the point where they would take revenge on the masked cultivator’s behalf.

Ma Tianqi shook his head while sighing while Rong Chengyu smiled when he heard Yun Zhihao. It meant that Yun Zhihao was determined to act. He really was waiting eagerly for the outcome.

...

Lin Feng felt the killing intent even more thoroughly but he didn’t turn to look at who it was from. He already knew.

After a few minutes the area brightened and a pathway was created from the square they were standing in to the base of the mountain.

"Time to enter. You have thirty breaths to step on this pathway..." The voice of the spirit consciousness reverberated.

Everyone looked towards the path. Some took a small breath and immediately entered, some prepared themselves mentally one last time before entering, but in a few breaths most of them had entered and some even moved towards the steps. The pathway was quite wide near them while further ahead it was narrower.

Lin Feng and the others also took their steps and entered the pathway. No one saw that a saber was slowly flying close to the ground coming towards the pathway. It was drifting at least two hundred metres further than Lin Feng’s group.

When the saber reached the pathway some cultivators finally saw it. They frowned before getting stunned to the core. The fact that this saber was flying meant it was controlled by someone and that only happened when it was a soul-bound weapon.

Only core formation disciples had entered this inheritance site in starting so no one have bought it from outer world, so how could someone refine a grade 4 soul-bound weapon? It was also a peak-stage and peak-tier weapon.

There was no way a newly advanced Soul Sea Realm cultivator could refine such a weapon. Even if you had broken through to Soul Sea Realm at the start of the inheritance site, it was impossible.

It took time to control your spiritual qi, not to mention the strength was too weak to refine a peak stage grade 4 weapon of this tier. So how the hell was this saber controlled by someone?

The cultivators who saw the saber looked towards the spirit consciousness. They wanted to ask if it was a prank done by it to scare them but none of them were brave enough to ask about it.

The saber didn’t stop and kept moving towards the front and as it passed just a little above the heads of cultivators they all began to notice and their reactions were no different.

Slowly everyone heard the commotion and they all came to know that there was someone here who had refined a weapon. It was a huge advantage.

But suddenly a thought entered everyone’s mind. The saber had moved from the start of the pathway and it had travelled almost two hundred metres, but no one had moved from their location.

An early-stage Soul Sea Realm cultivator had a spiritual sense of a hundred metres and they could only control a soul-bound weapon within fifty metres.

This didn’t change much at mid-stage of Soul Sea Realm as the range of spiritual sense is about a hundred and twenty-five metres. So how did this saber move two hundred metres, which was the maximum range spiritual sense one could achieve at the peak stage of Soul Sea Realm?

This thought sent chills down everyone’s spine as it was only possible if the person controlling that saber was in Nascent Soul Realm. Now everyone looked towards the spirit consciousness. They believed that it was just something only the spirit consciousness could do.

"Don’t look at me. It is controlled by one of you and it is totally justified... By the way, the moment you entered the pathway your three hours had already started, so those who want to climb the mountain should start moving..." The spirit consciousness poured cold water on their hopes and disappeared.

Bai Lian, Pei Lingxi and Lian Zhi had a pretty good guess who was controlling that saber but they didn’t look towards Lin Feng so as not to give away this secret.

The disciples were about to move to climb the mountain when the saber which had stopped in front of the steps moved again and this time its speed was far faster than their imagination. Before anyone could react...

PIAKKKK!
