Wu Fa’s words were earnest and sincere, fully considering Wu Ping’s situation. However, he knew his niece’s obsession with Wu Tian, her father, so it was difficult to keep dissuading her.
Afterward, Wu Fa went to the kitchen to cook. His culinary skills were exquisite, like a top-notch chef, and the dishes he prepared were incredibly delicious.
Wu Ping ate quite a lot and only stopped her tears after having enough.
"Here." Wu Fa handed Wu Ping a piece of Dragon Armor.
Wu Ping took it and said to Wu Fa, "I don’t need it."
Wu Fa, however, was unyielding, saying to Wu Ping, "You must wear a suit of fine armor; otherwise, I will never agree to let you go."
Seeing her uncle’s insistence, Wu Ping agreed and said she would wear it tomorrow.
Only after hearing his niece’s response did Wu Fa relax and nod. He wondered about the father and daughter who hadn’t seen each other for decades, unsure whether Wu Tian would even recognize his own daughter.
Then he took out a Wolf Tooth Necklace, saying, "This was the necklace your father hung around your neck when you were little. Later, fearing you’d be implicated, I took it away. Since you’ll be seeing each other, this serves as a keepsake."
Wu Ping nodded, indicating her understanding, and accepted the necklace.
As night deepened, Wu Fa sent Wu Ping ho, leading out a Fifth Grade Spiritual Horse for her from the backyard.
"Ride this horse ho now and et at the drill ground’s entrance tomorrow. Then, I’ll arrange for you to travel with Lin Feng and the others."
Wu Ping nodded, saying, "Thank you, Uncle."
Wu Fa had treated her as his own daughter all these years, long since considering her his own. If Wu Ping were in danger, Wu Fa would spare no effort to save her.
He originally planned to accompany her, but once Lin Feng left, Peace City would no longer have him. It would lose its backbone, and if any incident occurred, how could Wu Fa face the citizens of Peace City?
Therefore, for the greater good, Wu Fa had to sacrifice his personal feelings.
"Uncle, I’m leaving now."
Wu Ping bowed to her uncle and then mounted the horse to leave.
Watching his niece’s silhouette, Wu Fa felt an indescribable sadness flowing through his heart.
The Six Human Realms faced such dire circumstances; what could insignificant individuals possibly achieve?
"The Heavenly Dao is vast, ti moves on. Life is long, without joy or sorrow." After saying this, Wu Fa saw Wu Ping’s figure disappear into the night.
The hall was brightly lit.
This was Lin Feng’s residence, with blue seats neatly arranged, and shadows reflecting light. A soft blue True Qi circulated around Lin Feng, who sensed an upcoming battle and was practicing Breathing Control in the room.
At this mont, Hua Shengmi spoke to Lin Feng, "Don’t fall for their treachery, Lin Feng. I see the Black Axe on Xue Nian’s back carries the Demon Realm’s world-destroying aura, seemingly capable of tearing through the void. Even with your current cultivation, you cannot withstand the edge of that axe."
Hua Shengmi’s aning was clear: to warn Lin Feng that Xue Nian’s motive might not be directly targeting him but rather to eliminate both of them together.
Lin Feng understood this, recalling how those people tried to seize the principal’s position and force him to leave Peace City not long ago. Lin Feng knew Xue Nian’s arrival was undoubtedly related to the previous incident. This ti, they ca with the pretext of safeguarding the Human Realm’s safety, inviting Lin Feng to assist. Furthermore, Wu Tian was his subordinate, making him the best candidate for this mission.
If Lin Feng didn’t go, things might worsen, possibly leading to a disastrous outco, which would eventually harm the citizens.
Having contemplated this, Lin Feng resolved himself. He would either escort Wu Tian out of Qingling or eradicate Wu Tian himself.
This was Lin Feng’s duty, and he must prepare to face everything.
The Qingling army had been defeated by Lin Feng for over twenty years. Since Lin Feng’s awakening, he had shaken the entire Human Realm, with his actions constantly monitored by the Court.
The Court could not allow such a significant threat to expand his influence unchecked within the Human Realm.
If the Court ignored it, the one sitting securely on the throne might not be the current Emperor but Lin Feng.
Thus, fearing such a scenario, the Court sent white-clad envoys to urge Lin Feng to leave voluntarily.
For cultivators, striving for peace and harmony is preferable. Since Lin Feng didn’t wish to be the realm’s ruler, why be the irritating stone in the Court’s shoe at Peace City? Why cause unease to the current Emperor’s heart?
On that day, at the plaza, Xue Nian spoke those words.
Lin Feng heard every word clearly, understanding the Court’s fear that his expanding influence would make him the Human Realm’s ruler, free from their control, possibly leading a coup.
Seated, Lin Feng continued training his True Qi.
Lin Feng wanted to forget all these complexities. He detested power struggles, indifferent to common people’s fate.
Yet he couldn’t publicly oppose the Court. If the Human Realm’s administration descended into chaos, ordinary people would surely suffer, and foreign tribes might invade, leading to unimaginable consequences.
If events defied his intentions, Lin Feng would be the greatest culprit of the Human Realm.
"Tomorrow, I’ll proceed cautiously. If Xue Nian harbors ulterior motives, I won’t spare him."
After speaking to Hua Shengmi, Lin Feng closed his eyes. mories flooded his mind, leaving his thoughts restless.
He continued to revolve his True Qi to dispel such gloom.
The heavens above are just; evil must et punishnt. Lin Feng always believed this, allowing him to advance smoothly until now.
Without this belief, under the great locust tree, he’d have perished as a vengeful ghost.
The mist gradually lifted, and the sky no longer appeared so clear. Peace City’s heavens gave an infinite sense of desolation.
It was the clearest day in winter and the day to resolve grievances lingering for over twenty years.
So continued their daily routines, others remained ensnared by fate, swirling in endless whirlpools.
Wu Ping rode her Fifth Grade Spiritual Horse, arriving early at the barracks.
Although dawn had just broken, soldiers were already practicing on the drill ground.
"Hey ha, hey ha."
The troops contained original soldiers of Peace City and new additions, all sharing the sa aim, protecting Peace City and ensuring the Human Realm’s tranquility.
They left their hos’ safety, entering a domain where life and death were uncertain.
Lin Feng had imnse gratitude and admiration for them.
"You ca."
The speaker was Qian Yue.
Assisting Wu Fa in drilling the troops, he approached upon seeing Wu Ping’s arrival.
"Mm."
Wu Ping timidly nodded, having only t Qian Yue a few tis.
"General Wu is training the troops. He communicated with the Alliance Hierarch this morning, so I’ll take you to see the Hierarch."
While a decade ago, Peace City was ravaged by Qingling, Lin Feng reversed the tide and drove away Qingling’s troops. Survivors and arriving cultivators together appointed Lin Feng as Alliance Hierarch, forming an alliance to establish temporary shelters. Through continuous efforts, the shelter expanded beyond Peace City’s forr size.
