The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2592 - 2567: Farewell, Feng Wenjun!

"It’s a formation!" Lin Bai gazed at the terrain ahead and declared calmly.

Astonishment flickered in the eyes of Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner as they glanced at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai swiftly leaped from the spirit boat, hovered in mid-air, cupped his fists, and bellowed, "Lin Bai, Saint of the East Continent Academy, has come to pay respects to the Feng family senior!"

Suspended in the sky, Lin Bai bowed respectfully and called out toward the desolate mountain range before them.

Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner scanned their surroundings with caution.

After Lin Bai's shout, silence lingered for quite a while with no reply.

Right as Lin Bai prepared to call out once more, a voice boomed across the vast sky and earth: "Do you have proof?"

Hearing the response, joy surged in Lin Bai's heart. He quickly retrieved his disciple token from the storage bag and held it up in the air.

At once, a ripple shimmered before Lin Bai in mid-air, forming a light gate. A stern-faced young man emerged from it and strode toward Lin Bai.

"Feng Wujun!"

Lin Bai cried out in shock.

This youth was none other than Feng Wenjun's brother, Feng Wujun, another disciple from the Eastern Courtyard of the East Continent Academy!

Feng Wujun grinned and greeted, "Saint Senior Brother, long time no see!"

"Come inside to talk, it’s not safe out here!"

Spotting Lin Bai, a trace of delight crossed Feng Wujun’s face, and he promptly invited Lin Bai within.

Lan Yuxin stowed the spirit boat and approached Lin Bai, then the trio passed through the light gate together.

Beyond the light gate, Lin Bai lifted his gaze to behold a towering mountain range ahead, majestic and awe-inspiring like a celestial domain. Palaces soared skyward atop those peaks.

Below the light gate, thousands of Feng family warriors stood ready, eyeing Lin Bai and his companions vigilantly.

Feng Wujun announced, "Brothers, this is the Saint of the East Continent Academy, not an enemy!"

At Feng Wujun’s words, the warriors around them eased up and dropped their guards.

Witnessing the Feng family's dire situation, Lin Bai remarked steadily, "It seems the Feng family has endured a severe setback."

Feng Wujun inquired, "Saint Senior Brother, did you come here regarding the Demon Sect?"

Lin Bai affirmed with a nod, "Yes, is Feng Wenjun back at the Feng family? After we parted last time, he set off on a journey. With the turmoil engulfing the East Continent now, I wished to check on his safety!"

Feng Wujun nodded, "Wenjun returned some time ago."

"Come, I’ll take you to him!"

Feng Wujun said smilingly.

Lin Bai trailed Feng Wujun straight into a palace.

From a distance, Lin Bai spotted Feng Wenjun stationed at the palace entrance, his face ashen as he stared into the far horizon. Only upon seeing Lin Bai did a spark of happiness light up Feng Wenjun's features.

"Lin Bai!"

Feng Wenjun shouted with excitement.

Lin Bai, Lan Yuxin, and Hu Xiner stepped into the palace.

Feng Wujun stated, "Saint Senior Brother, you all talk first. I can’t stray too far from the Mountain Protection Array, so I must head back."

Lin Bai gave a nod.

Just then, Feng Wenjun told Feng Wujun, "Big brother, stay cautious, and if you need my help, come get me anytime!"

Feng Wujun clapped Feng Wenjun’s shoulder, flashed a smile, and departed!

Feng Wenjun then invited, "Brother Lin, come inside and take a seat!"

The three walked into the main hall and settled down.

With a wry smile, Feng Wenjun said, "I’m sorry, Brother Lin. Normally, my father would host a grand banquet for your visit, but given Phoenix Song Area's current plight... the Feng family lacks the mood to receive guests!"

Lin Bai nodded understandingly, "I get it! No need for such formalities!"

Lin Bai cut to the chase, "Does the Feng family intend to evacuate? On my way here, I noticed numerous warrior sects abandoning Phoenix Song Area. Does the Feng family plan to stay and resist?"

Feng Wenjun shook his head, "The Feng family wishes to depart, but it’s impossible! Brother Lin, do you realize how vast our family is—main branches, side branches, millions of disciples? We can’t just abandon everything on a whim!"

Lin Bai questioned, "So, will the Feng family battle the Demon Sect to the bitter end right here in Phoenix Song Area?"

Feng Wenjun grinned, "Even though the Demon Sect controls Phoenix Song Area now, our Feng family has dwelled in the Storm Mountain Range for millennia, fortifying it into an impregnable stronghold!"

"We may not defeat the Demon Sect, but they’ll find it just as tough to devour us!"

"Plus, the Feng family holds hidden aces up its sleeve!"

Feng Wenjun declared composedly.

Lin Bai mentioned, "I heard over a dozen Wending Realm powerhouses from the Demon Sect once assaulted the Feng family..."

Feng Wenjun confirmed, "Correct, we clashed, and several of them fell!"

Realizing this, Lin Bai grasped that the Feng family possessed its own formidable methods and heritage. Bolstered by the Storm Mountain Range, they needn’t dread the Demon Sect for the time being!

In that instant, Feng Wenjun spoke sorrowfully, "If the Feng family flees, Phoenix Song Area will truly be lost."

Lin Bai nodded faintly.

Lin Bai probed, "Do you know the Demon Sect’s true intentions?"

"They’ve poured so much into this, spanning seven dynasties and the Six Territories—what’s their endgame?"

Feng Wenjun shook his head, "I’m not entirely sure. But judging by the Demon Sect disciples’ actions, it looks like they’re just looting cultivation resources!"

"Every sect and clan hit by Demon Sect forces had their treasuries and storage bags stripped bare!"

"It makes sense, though—Demon Sect disciples come from poverty and crave more cultivation resources!"

Feng Wenjun said with a wry grin.

Lin Bai furrowed his brow and nodded, "What about Shi Jiamu? Wasn’t she traveling with you?"

Feng Wenjun let out a soft sigh, his face growing grave, "That’s my greatest concern. When the Demon Sect struck the East Continent, both Phoenix Song Area and Gad Stone Domain took massive hits!"

"I rushed back to Phoenix Song Area! While she hurried to Gad Stone Domain!"

"Lately, word from Gad Stone Domain paints an even grimmer picture than here!"

"In Phoenix Song Area, the Feng family serves as my last bastion, but her clan in Gad Stone Domain, though not insignificant, isn’t a powerhouse either..."

"Worst of all, I’ve completely lost touch with her!"

"I wanted to head to Gad Stone Domain to search for her, yet I’m torn over Phoenix Song Area and the Feng family!"

Feng Wenjun confessed, trapped in indecision.

Lin Bai chuckled wryly, "No surprise you stood at the entrance, deep in thought—you were fretting over her!"

Feng Wenjun gave a bitter smile, "Please don’t mock me, Brother Lin."

Lin Bai replied, "In the world of warriors, there’s no ridicule for such concerns!"

Feng Wenjun asked, "Brother Lin, what brings you to the Feng family this time?"

Lin Bai nodded, "I do have a matter!"

"First off, I wanted to confirm your safety!"

Feng Wenjun’s heart warmed at Lin Bai’s words, and he smiled, "I’ve caused Brother Lin worry!"

Lin Bai smiled back, "After all, we’re comrades who braved the Ice Lake Sea together!"

Feng Wenjun grinned, "True, we unleashed our might at Ice Lake Sea—it’s a memory to cherish!"

"Does Brother Lin have anything else?"
