Chapter 1202 1202: Two Days of Rest
The reason Lin Fei is acting so high-profile is to have Jin Zongfan spread the news in Ten Thousand Swords City that he intends to deal with the Yue family.
In the Holy Dragon World, strength is revered. Since he has arrived at the Holy Dragon Continent, he should establish his own power and reputation to firmly establish a foothold here.
The Yue family will be his first target.
The high-profile declaration to confront the Yue family puts pressure on them, and before he attacks, they also wouldn't dare to harm Leng Ying casually.
Creating pressure for the Yue family indirectly protects Leng Ying, and it helps to make his name renowned in Ten Thousand Swords City, ultimately allowing him to build his own power.
"Tell the people of the Yue family that Yue Peng is in my hands. If they don't want him dead, they should treat my friends well." Lin Fei glanced at Yue Peng, who was huddling in a corner of the Devil's Tower, and said to Jin Zongfan.
Jin Zongfan took a look at Yue Peng, knowing he was the Yue family's young master, but since his own life was in Lin Fei's hands, he couldn't be bothered about Yue Peng at the moment.
"Yes, Master," Jin Zongfan replied respectfully.
With a wave of Lin Fei's hand, a surging breath swept out, enveloping Jin Zongfan and all True Essence Sect cultivators, carrying them away like a whirlwind.
Then they felt as though they had traversed time, and with a loud boom, they all flew out from the Devil's Tower's main gates, sprawling onto the square before the True Essence Peak palace, groaning in pain.
Then, they saw Lin Fei landing in front of them, beckoning with his hand, and the twenty-meter-high Devil's Tower in the sky flashed and disappeared into the Storage Ring on Lin Fei's hand.
Lin Fei looked at Jin Zongfan on the square and said, "Take a dozen disciples to Ten Thousand Swords City right now and complete what I've asked you to do. If you don't accomplish it, you will die a violent death in a few days."
Jin Zongfan's face changed with shock; he knew that Lin Fei had injected terrifying power into the vital points on his body, which could threaten his life at any moment.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm heading to Ten Thousand Swords City right away," Jin Zongfan said, quickly leading a dozen cultivators away.
Then, Lin Fei looked towards all the True Essence Sect cultivators and said, "You need not fear. As long as you follow my orders and remain loyal to me, you will be safe and can continue to stay on True Essence Peak."
All the True Essence Sect cultivators were indeed anxious, wondering if surrendering to Lin Fei would lead to oppression and punishment by him. However, hearing Lin Fei's words, they secretly sighed in relief.
"Yes, Master," all the cultivators immediately knelt on one knee, clasped their fists, and responded in unison to Lin Fei, their voices echoing above True Essence Peak.
In the midst of their respectful voices, Lin Fei appeared like a king, majestic and imposing, walking towards the grandest palace of the True Essence Sect.
After Lin Fei entered the palace, the two heavy doors closed with a bang.
The kneeling cultivators on the square dared to lift their eyes only then, looking at the closed palace doors, all with a trace of reverence in their eyes.
Lin Fei's momentum and king-like manner in every gesture were unrivaled by their sect leader Jin Zongfan.
In their perspective, Lin Fei's display of strength is the true demeanor of a great figure.
The sect leader Jin Zongfan appeared dim in Lin Fei's presence, reduced to submission.
Despite the awe Lin Fei inspired in them, they felt that following Lin Fei would offer a brighter future.
Because Lin Fei's strength far exceeded Jin Zongfan's, and attaching to a true powerhouse is crucial for cultivators on the Holy Dragon Continent; only then can a cultivator survive better, find a stronger patron, and advance further in cultivation.
Moreover, with four grand elders and over a dozen hall masters all slain by Lin Fei, leaving so many vacant positions presents significant opportunities for many capable cultivators.
All True Essence Sect cultivators, upon seeing Lin Fei enter and close the palace doors, resolved to follow him, convinced that under his leadership, they would progress further and have a brighter future.
Inside the sealed palace, as the Storage Ring on Lin Fei's hand flashed, the Devil's Tower reappeared in the hall.
However, the Devil's Tower only revealed four or five meters in height, and Lin Fei's figure flashed, entering the Devil's Tower.
Since all True Essence Sect members were released by Lin Fei, only Yue Peng and the unconscious Sun Bin remained inside the tower.
Seeing Lin Fei appear, Yue Peng's face showed fear, shrinking into the corner, afraid Lin Fei would take his life.
However, Lin Fei ignored Yue Peng, heading straight up to the radiant light streaming down from the Devil's Tower's upper starry-sea-like realm.
Lin Fei quickly reached the Ninth Layer of the Devil's Tower, sensing energy fluctuations in the air. Su Xiaoyue, Chen Xinyi, and Qingcheng, who were meditating cross-legged in the Ninth Layer, suddenly opened their eyes.
"Lin Fei!" Seeing Lin Fei appear, they exclaimed in delight.
The nearby Human-faced Goat also relaxedly spoke to Lin Fei: "Seeing you have the leisure to come into the Devil's Tower to find us, True Essence Sect must have been defeated and controlled by you?"
Lin Fei nodded: "True Essence Sect has been completely under my control."
He then recounted how he managed to control Jin Zongfan and instructed him to loudly declare in Ten Thousand Swords City his plan to deal with the Yue family, and relay messages to the Yue family.
The Human-faced Goat listened in admiration, laughingly said: "Lin Fei, your strategy is truly brilliant. Publicly declaring in Ten Thousand Swords City that you're going to attack the Yue family is giving them unprecedented pressure; it seems the whole Yue family won't sleep well these days."
Lin Fei laughed and said, "Whether they sleep well is their matter, but these two days, I must quickly enhance the strength for Qingcheng, Xiaoyue, and Xinyi."
Qingcheng smiled gently and said to Lin Fei, "Lin Fei, we've been quite busy in the Devil's Tower. We've taken the elixir you gave us and its effects have started to show. Our strength has unknowingly increased by one layer, reaching the Second Layer of Saint Transformation."
Chen Xinyi and Su Xiaoyue also nodded to Lin Fei and said, "We've reached the Second Layer of Saint Transformation."
However, Lin Fei shook his head: "Too slow. The Second Layer of Saint Transformation on the Holy Dragon Continent is only the minimum survival strength; within two days I must help you advance your cultivation to at least the strength of a Saint Warrior."
Qingcheng, Su Xiaoyue, and Chen Xinyi, hearing Lin Fei talking about advancing their cultivation to Saint Warrior, were a bit surprised despite Lin Fei's constant help in raising their strength repeatedly.
This is an upgrade to the Saint Warrior level, not a usual Martial Dao realm.
But Lin Fei knew his Saint Fire had successively absorbed the power from the Saint Warrior strength of Hall Master Zhong, half of Yue Peng's Saint Master power, and the power of Gongsun Bin and Gongsun Hao.
Of course, Lin Fei couldn't transmit so much power to Qingcheng and the three women all at once, as it could overwhelm them, causing their meridians to disorder and possibly lead to a deviation with life-threatening risks.
Hence, Lin Fei decided only to use part of the power absorbed by the Saint Fire to enhance the power for Qingcheng and the three women.
