Chapter 04: March Without Regrets!
Translator: Krukist
Before Lin Yunyi could even tremble in fear, he and his subordinates felt an overwhelming pressure emanating from the figure clad in white, like snow. This pressure descended upon them like an abyss, crushing them with its immense weight, making it almost impossible to breathe.
"W-wait... Senior, this junior meant no offense. Please spare us!" Lin Yunyi was truly terrified. The terrifying pressure made him feel as though he was suffocating. As someone who had always acted with impunity, he had never experienced such overwhelming force before.
He had never imagined that merely mentioning his father's name, which had always worked in the past, would have no effect whatsoever in front of this person.
"Fei Wu, come here," Wang Feng said indifferently, glancing at Lin Yunyi but not paying him any further attention. He beckoned Fei Wu over.
"Lin Yunyi destroyed your family. I leave him to you. Consider this a down payment on the debt. In the future, I will accompany you to the Changlin Marquisate to seek justice for your family."
Upon hearing Wang Feng's words, Fei Wu's eyes turned red, and her delicate body trembled slightly. She stared fiercely at Lin Yunyi and his men.
The hatred for her annihilated family was as deep as an ocean of blood. If she did not avenge this, she would be unworthy of being the eldest daughter of the Ling Family.
As for Lin Yunyi and his men, their faces turned as pale as paper upon hearing Wang Feng's words. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably from fear. They desperately tried to activate their internal energy to break free from the terrifying pressure, but it was futile.
The pressure pinned them down, rendering their bodies almost immobile.
"Lin Yunyi, when you destroyed my family, did you ever imagine this day would come?"
"You, who stood so high and mighty, thought that with your status as the young lord of the Changlin Marquisate, you could do as you pleased. Did you ever imagine this day would come?"
"You chased me for tens of thousands of miles, toying with me like a cat playing with a mouse, and even dared to speak disrespectfully to me. Did you ever imagine this day would come?"
Fei Wu roared, her voice, usually as melodious as a nightingale's, now hoarse with rage. Her entire body radiated a shocking killing intent.
If Lin Yunyi hadn't been toying with her, tormenting her for his own amusement, she would never have been able to hold out until now. She would have been captured long ago.
Now, the tables had turned. It was the law of karma, retribution in its purest form.
*Ssshhhk!*
Fei Wu picked up a branch from the ground and stabbed it into Lin Yunyi's heart. She pulled it out and stabbed again, blood gushing out and staining Lin Yunyi's robes.
At this moment, Fei Wu was no longer the gentle and elegant young woman she once was. Instead, she looked like a madwoman, wildly swinging the branch in her hand, as if trying to vent all the anger and hatred in her heart.
This scene even startled Li Qing, who was standing behind Wang Feng. He had never expected that this beautiful, fairy-like junior sister could display such madness.
"Let her vent," Wang Feng sighed, retracting the words he had been about to say to stop her.
Gradually, Lin Yunyi's eyes lost their focus, and he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Seeing this, Fei Wu pulled out the branch and, under the terrified gazes of Lin Yunyi's subordinates, killed each one of them.
These men, who could have dominated small cities in the Empire of Radiant Sun, were now like ants, easily crushed.
After killing Lin Yunyi and his men, Fei Wu took a moment to calm herself. Then, she walked up to Wang Feng and Ye Gucheng, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Sect Master and Elder Ye, for helping me avenge this blood debt. I will never regret joining the Divine Immortal Sect in this lifetime. In life, I am a member of the Divine Immortal Sect; in death, I will be a soul of the Divine Immortal Sect!"
Fei Wu had initially thought that escaping with her life was already a stroke of luck. She had never dared to hope for revenge. But now, just after joining the Divine Immortal Sect, the Sect Master had directly helped her eliminate the primary culprit.
She believed that as long as she stayed in the Divine Immortal Sect and trained diligently, she would one day be able to wipe out the Changlin Marquisate and avenge her family.
Although Lin Yunyi, the young lord, was the primary culprit, without the backing of the Changlin Marquisate, how could he have dared to destroy the Ling Family, which had a notable reputation?
*Father, Mother, uncles, and aunts, Fei Wu has been blessed by heaven to meet Sect Master Wang Feng and join the Divine Immortal Sect. I hope your spirits remain unextinguished and can guide me to become strong enough to avenge this blood debt!*
Looking at Fei Wu kneeling before him, Wang Feng sighed softly. He reached out and helped her up. This girl should not have had to bear such a heavy burden at such a young age. Since he had encountered her, how could he stand by and do nothing?
"Ding! Congratulations! Sect disciple Ling Fei Wu has killed a General Realm expert. Reward: 300 sect points!"
"Ding! Congratulations! Sect disciple Ling Fei Wu has killed a General Realm expert. Reward: 300 sect points!"
"Ding...!"
After Fei Wu killed Lin Yunyi and his men, the system's cool voice continuously rang in Wang Feng's mind. However, Wang Feng temporarily ignored it and instead looked at Fei Wu with a serious expression.
"The sect can provide you with a good platform for cultivation, but whether you can become a true powerhouse ultimately depends on yourself. But remember, now that you have joined my Divine Immortal Sect, your back is protected by the sect, and your reliance is the sect. The Divine Immortal Sect fears no one. If there is a blood debt, even if the enemy is as vast as the heavens, we will kill them without hesitation!"
Hearing Wang Feng's words, Fei Wu remained silent, but a warm feeling flowed through her heart. After the Ling Family was annihilated, this Divine Immortal Sect, which she had joined less than an hour ago, and this Sect Master, whom she had known for less than an hour, had already given her a deep sense of belonging and reliance.
"Do you practice the sword path?"
At this moment, the icy and aloof Ye Gucheng spoke, his sharp eyes fixed on Fei Wu.
"Yes, Elder Ye!" Fei Wu replied respectfully, not daring to delay. Compared to Wang Feng's gentle and approachable demeanor, Ye Gucheng's aloofness made her somewhat afraid. Of course, her fear was more about respect than terror. If not for Elder Ye's help, she would not have been able to kill Lin Yunyi and his men so easily.
"Would you like to become my disciple?"
When Ye Gucheng's voice rang out, not only was Fei Wu shocked, but even Wang Feng was inwardly astonished.
After summoning Ye Gucheng, Wang Feng had been pleasantly surprised but had not expected Ye Gucheng to help train disciples for the Divine Immortal Sect. After all, Ye Gucheng's aloofness was legendary.
But now, this aloof Ye Gucheng was actually taking the initiative to accept a disciple?
Seeing Fei Wu still frozen in place, Wang Feng became anxious and hurriedly said, "What are you waiting for?"
For someone like Ye Gucheng to take the initiative to accept a disciple was rarer than a stone blooming into a flower. Yet this girl was still standing there in a daze.
"Disciple pays respects to Master!"
Hearing Wang Feng's urging, Fei Wu finally reacted. She quickly knelt and kowtowed, performing the disciple ceremony, afraid that Ye Gucheng might change his mind.
Ye Gucheng nodded slightly and waved his hand, a gentle force lifting Fei Wu to her feet.
This scene made Li Qing, who was standing behind Wang Feng, extremely envious. He had witnessed Ye Gucheng's strength firsthand.
Even though he didn't know what the General Realm represented in the cultivation world, the fact that Ye Gucheng had so easily suppressed seven cultivators was, in Li Qing's eyes as a mortal, an incredibly impressive feat.
This girl, who had joined the sect even later than him, had now become the disciple of such a powerhouse. How could he not be envious?
"Follow me. I will heal your injuries."
Ye Gucheng glanced at the battered Fei Wu and spoke without waiting for her response. He turned and walked toward the thatched cottage.
Seeing this, Fei Wu looked at Wang Feng, who nodded in approval. Only then did she follow Ye Gucheng, dragging her injured body.
Watching the two figures leave, Wang Feng nodded in satisfaction. With the guidance of Ye Gucheng, the Sword God, he was eager to see how far Fei Wu could grow.
"Sect Master, should I leave too?"
A simple minded voice interrupted Wang Feng's thoughts. He glanced at Li Qing and waved his hand. "You need to lose some weight. Go and clean up around the thatched cottage. Make it spotless. This is the Divine Immortal Sect's headquarters, after all."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Li Qing's mouth twitched as he replied helplessly. He suddenly felt that after Fei Wu joined, he was no longer as important as before. When the Sect Master had recruited him, he had been praised to the skies, treated like a treasure. But now, he was being sent off to sweep the ground...
"System, what are sect points used for?"
After Li Qing left, Wang Feng's eyes flickered as he inquired. He had wanted to ask earlier, but the situation hadn't been appropriate. Now, he could finally get a proper understanding. He had a feeling that sect points would be crucial to the development of the Divine Immortal Sect.
"Ding! Sect points can be used by the host to exchange for lottery draws. One thousand sect points can be exchanged for one lottery draw. Additionally, sect points can be used to upgrade the system. Ten thousand sect points can upgrade the system to level two. When the system reaches level two, the sect level will also automatically upgrade to level two!"
Hearing the system's cool voice in his mind, Wang Feng nodded and continued, "What are the benefits of upgrading the system and sect levels?"
"Ding! Upgrading the system level allows the host to summon stronger experts, divine weapons, treasures, and more. Additionally, upgrading the sect level unlocks more disciple slots. The host can check the Divine Immortal Sect's attribute panel."
"Check the Divine Immortal Sect's attribute panel!" Wang Feng said without hesitation. He hadn't expected there to be a sect attribute panel.
"Ding! The Divine Immortal Sect's attribute panel is as follows:
Sect: Divine Immortal Sect
Sect Level: Level One
Sect Master (Unique): Wang Feng (Pre-Mystic Sovereign Realm)
Elders (Maximum of Five): Ye Gucheng (Peak Mystic Sovereign Realm)
Disciples (Maximum of Ten): Li Qing (Mortal), Ling Fei Wu (Peak Spirit Awakening Realm)
Sect Headquarters: Small World!"
"System, if the sect level isn't upgraded, can the limits be exceeded?" Seeing the sect attribute panel, Wang Feng frowned and asked.
"No. Please work hard to earn sect points and upgrade the system and sect levels."
The system's cool voice made Wang Feng's face show a trace of helplessness. With such restrictions in place, he had no choice but to continuously earn sect points!
