Adding the 700 exchange points he had left, Lin Feng, after completing the subsidiary quest of the Heaven-Earth Mirror, now had a total of 1200 exchange points.
Without further ado, Lin Feng entered the exchange system and immediately exchanged for the Heavenly Wind Dao Canon.
Looking at the main quest, the black hole representing "wind" in the self-created Dao Law system also lit up with a white light. Lin Feng smiled: "Only one more to go."
Exiting the system, he found that he had spent quite some time repairing the Heaven-Earth Mirror.
Kang Nanhua, using the stone flute to treat his injuries, was also at the final stage.
His face no longer showed any signs of illness, and he looked refreshed and invigorated. Powerful fluctuations of magic power spread out in circles, and golden sand and flowing water swirled around him.
After a long while, Kang Nanhua opened his eyes, and the fluctuations of magic power around him gradually calmed down. He smiled at Lin Feng: "Thanks to you, I have recovered from my injuries." He opened his palm, and the stone flute, which had returned to its ordinary appearance, was lifted by magic power and handed to Lin Feng through the air.
Both Lin Feng and Kang Nanhua were now well aware of the extraordinary nature of the stone flute, but Kang Nanhua did not covet it. As soon as he recovered, he handed it back to Lin Feng without hesitation.
Lin Feng took the stone flute and shook his head: "You don't need to be so polite. However, this place is not safe. Since I can find this place, Zhou Jun will eventually find it too."
"If you truly want to keep your promise to your old friend, you should quickly think of a way out and take the remaining people of Snowwind Kingdom away as soon as possible."
Kang Nanhua replied: "To be honest, I also have this intention. I stayed here before mainly because of my injuries, and I had to use the geographical advantages to set up a magic array to protect them. Now that I have fully recovered, although I can't guarantee their complete safety, I have much more room to maneuver and don't have to stay in this one place."
Lin Feng nodded: "Since you have a plan, I won't say more. Let's part ways here. If we have the chance, we may meet again and discuss Dao."
Kang Nanhua smiled: "Thank you for your good words. I look forward to that day."
"Me too," Lin Feng laughed, shook the Black Cloud Banner, and transformed into a black light, flying out.
Lin Feng flew out of the pit, hiding his presence to avoid alarming anyone. Using the spatial movement ability of the Black Cloud Banner, he left the isolated mountain in the desert and re-entered the marshland of the Ancient Domain.
"Hmm?" Lin Feng suddenly felt a stir in his heart. He saw that the Divine Martial Army officer, Dao Zhiqiang, who he had captured, had taken out the communication crystal again.
However, Dao Zhiqiang did not crush the communication crystal to contact the outside world. Instead, he stared at it in his palm, lost in thought.
After a moment, Dao Zhiqiang's gaze refocused, as if he had made a decision. He threw the communication crystal away.
The communication crystal disappeared into the rolling black light of the Black Cloud Banner. Lin Feng could certainly retrieve it, but Dao Zhiqiang definitely couldn't.
After throwing away the communication crystal, Dao Zhiqiang seemed to have shed a heavy burden. His entire demeanor changed, no longer suppressed but full of vigor.
Lin Feng appeared and asked calmly: "Have you made up your mind? If I'm not mistaken, your actions just now are tantamount to betraying the Divine Martial Army."
Dao Zhiqiang nodded frankly: "That's right, but as Kang Nanhua said, this is my true nature, and I cannot go against it. I believe this is the right thing to do, so I did it."
Speaking of this, his expression turned somber: "If the leader of this mission were not General Xie, I would never have done this. But if General Xie finds this place, everyone, whether cultivators or ordinary people, will face certain death. This is something I do not want to see."
Lin Feng said calmly: "The decision is yours. Just don't regret it in the future."
His consciousness withdrew from the Black Cloud Banner, and he took out the Heaven-Earth Mirror from his storage bag. He had already sensed that something was different about the Heaven-Earth Mirror.
Lin Feng infused his magic power into the Heaven-Earth Mirror, and the surface of the bronze mirror immediately glowed faintly. The mirror's surface became unclear, like murky water.
A bright yellow dot appeared in the center of the earth-yellow mirror, surrounded by a dense circle of red dots.
"What do these represent?"
Lin Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
"The bright yellow dot is in the center of the mirror, which should be my current position, or the position of the Heaven-Earth Mirror." Lin Feng frowned slightly: "Then what do these red dots represent?"
The red dots varied in size, with only a few dozen large ones, while the smaller red dots numbered in the thousands!
Lin Feng strained his eyes to the limit, expanding his perception to the utmost. In the thick poisonous fog of the marsh, he could vaguely see countless figures moving, faintly visible, surrounding the isolated mountain in the desert from all sides.
Lin Feng's heart sank to the bottom. He already knew the identity of the people coming.
The Great Zhou Dynasty, the Divine Martial Army.
The red dots on the Heaven-Earth Mirror represented these people. The larger dots represented cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, while the smaller dots represented cultivators at the Qi Condensation stage.
The Divine Martial Army had discovered the isolated mountain where the members of the Fierce Wind Association were hiding and was now surrounding it with a large force.
Lin Feng pulled Dao Zhiqiang out of the Black Cloud Banner. Seeing the scene before him, Dao Zhiqiang was shocked: "I clearly didn't..."
"I know you didn't," Lin Feng interrupted him directly. Dao Zhiqiang was in the internal space of the Black Cloud Banner, and every move was under Lin Feng's surveillance. Lin Feng naturally knew he hadn't done anything underhanded.
Lin Feng looked at the Divine Martial Army, which had already emerged from the thick fog and was forming battle formations, and asked Dao Zhiqiang: "I called you out to ask you, how strong is this Divine Martial Army, and who is the leader?"
Dao Zhiqiang hesitated for a moment but still answered: "This is the Left Camp of the Vanguard Army of the Divine Martial Army. The Vanguard Army is the vanguard of the entire Divine Martial Army, leading every battle. It is the strongest and most elite force in the Divine Martial Army."
"The Left Camp, where I was stationed, was originally just a flank of the Vanguard Army, not as strong as the Sharp Camp. The Vanguard Army is the vanguard of the Divine Martial Army, and the Sharp Camp is the vanguard of the Vanguard Army. All the soldiers and officers in the Sharp Camp are the most skilled in battle and have the richest combat experience. Their average cultivation level is also higher than other camps."
Speaking of this, Dao Zhiqiang's expression changed slightly: "But that was in the past. Not long ago, the commander of the Left Camp was demoted for a crime, and the commander of the Sharp Camp was transferred to our Left Camp."
Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged: "Is that the General Xie you mentioned? What is his full name?"
Dao Zhiqiang shook his head forcefully: "His full name is not Xie, but just one character, Xie! Before joining the Divine Martial Army, he was a wandering cultivator, said to be a descendant of the ancient and now extinct Kill God Sect."
"Rumors say that General Xie entered the Dao through killing, with a bloodthirsty nature. I have never seen anyone as cold and bloodthirsty as him. Anyone he dislikes is killed by him. Not just cultivators, but ordinary people, women, and children, countless have died at his hands."
Dao Zhiqiang's face turned ashen as he slowly said: "In the past, when attacking other countries, the number of ordinary people in cities slaughtered by General Xie numbered in the hundreds. Although his current cultivation level is only at the Golden Core stage, his reputation for brutality is so great that he is known as the first butcher of the Divine Martial Army."
Lin Feng took a deep breath, about to ask more, when a shocking wave of killing intent suddenly erupted from the Divine Martial Army's formation.
"Relying on a broken Golden Core stage magical artifact, you dare to spy on our battle formation? You hidden rat, die!"
Before the words were even finished, a pitch-black sword aura shot out from the void, piercing directly at Lin Feng in the sky.
The sword aura was as black as ink, filled with boundless killing, death, and destruction, and the fierce and malevolent aura of countless dead souls. The sword aura, as wide as a door, seemed to tear the sky apart!
Lin Feng tried to use the Black Cloud Banner to move through space but found that the surrounding space seemed to be locked, and the Black Cloud Banner was ineffective.
In shock, Lin Feng looked at the Divine Martial Army's formation and saw that the magic power of the 3,000 Divine Martial Army cultivators seemed to be connected, vast and boundless, like an endless sea.
The vast magic power condensed together, reaching the heavens, completely locking the space around the isolated mountain in the desert.
Even the poisonous fog that had existed for ten thousand years in the Ancient Domain marsh had to retreat, and the area where the Divine Martial Army's formation stood was cleared of the fog.
The Black Cloud Banner was unusable, and the fierce and bloodthirsty black sword aura was already piercing directly at Lin Feng's face!
