Chapter 101: Are You Sure You Want to Treat Me to a Drink?
Upon hearing this, everyone finally snapped back to reality…
Their faces were a mixture of embarrassment and disbelief.
Ye Qingge smirked slightly, rolling her eyes at him, thinking, “After thousands of years, and his skin is still thicker than a dragon’s scale!”
Yet, deep down, she secretly liked it.
The ancestor of the Pei Family hesitated for a moment before couldn’t help but ask, “What on earth is your real cultivation level? How come…”
“Even immortals can’t stop your single blow?”
Now, that was the question everyone was concerned about! Lin Feng’s earlier performance had been clear for all to see.
Not to mention the Emperor himself—even the true immortals from the Celestial Realm wouldn’t stand a chance against him.
It was just too outrageous!
If previously, the Eternal Emperor had been a colossal influence in the Nine States, well now, those two words “Mortal Realm” might as well be wiped off the map.
Even in the Celestial Realm, one could assume there were fierce beings lurking about.
After all, forcing a true immortal back with a single strike? That was truly shocking.
Then they thought about the supreme artifact, the Taiping Sword…
As they pondered, they realized that Lin Feng was becoming more and more enigmatic the deeper they delved into it.
What does it mean to look up at a towering mountain?
This is it!
Lin Feng knew everyone was puzzled, so he shook his head and said, “Strictly speaking, these little celery immortals aren’t even true immortals!”
After pausing for a moment, he added, “But let me slowly explain this to everyone.”
“Let’s tidy things up first!”
As soon as those words came out, everyone nodded, dropping the topic without further insistence.
This earth-shattering war had finally come to a close.
Even though they won in the end, all the major powers among the defending forces had suffered significant losses.
Casualties were heavy.
At this moment, Jiang Wujì and the others were shaking like leaves; they all knew it was over.
Three of the four great sovereigns had perished.
And one of them was a traitor…
Among the several remaining celestial immortals down below, only Jin Han was still alive, albeit with his powers sealed by Lin Feng.
Their defeat was complete.
Yet, none of them fled because they all knew escape was impossible.
With the world so vast, where else could they hide?
Yuan Ruoyu glanced over at Jiang Wujì and asked, “What should we do with them?”
Although she knew they wouldn’t spare Jiang Wujì and the others, this was something she instinctively felt Lin Feng should handle…
Lin Feng looked at Jiang Wujì, Gu Baihong, and the elders from the Hua and Zuo families; many were familiar faces.
While there was no significant history, they were all once mighty figures.
Lin Feng sighed and said lightly, “Taiping, help me send a few friends on their way.”
“Jiang Wujì, farewell!”
Jiang Wujì snorted coldly, taking a deep breath and his face smoothed out a bit.
At that moment, he surprisingly felt less fear.
Only a pinch of regret remained; he lamented he never had a chance to truly control the situation!
“Since things must play out this way, why not take full charge?!”
Jiang Wujì mentally murmured with a tinge of sentiment, feeling he was born in the wrong era.
“Alright!”
The Taiping Sword spirit’s youthful voice chimed in.
Suddenly, sword intent erupted, a destructive wave of sword energy sweeping across and instantaneously enclosing Jiang Wujì and the others.
There was no resistance.
As the blinding light faded, everything returned to calm.
From then on, Jiang Wujì would no longer exist in this world.
Next came the cleanup of the battlefield.
The battle had been too intense; both sides had sustained heavy losses, and most bodies had been reduced to nothing.
However, a small portion remained recognizable.
These people were essential for the major powers to locate and take back for burial in their sects.
Then there were various fragments of magical treasures and storage rings—who knows how much was lost!
Cleaning the battlefield and collecting spoils of war.
These were necessary processes; in the end, those who win are entitled to enjoy more resources.
This time, all major powers took action.
Because the Jiang family and other forces were considered top-tier powers, the remaining storage rings were worth a fortune.
On a hillside.
Lin Feng looked at Jin Han and asked casually, “So, you do know about the Nine Palace Secret Vault?”
Jin Han raised his eyes, a look of understanding flashing across them.
Indeed, that made sense.
Only that could explain why Lin Feng, a mere mortal emperor, was so terrifyingly powerful.
After a moment of silence, Jin Han finally replied, “I stumbled upon some fragments of records in an ancient relic of the Celestial Court.”
“I don’t know much.”
Lin Feng nodded, showing no interest in continuing on that topic.

At one side, the Destiny Sovereign and Ye Xi stood quietly, waiting.
The Destiny Sovereign hadn’t started as Lin Feng’s undercover agent.
He was later convinced to join.
At first, it was very simple; he discovered the truth behind the Celestial Court and wanted to break free from their control.
Initially, he genuinely wanted to eliminate Lin Feng.
However, after several encounters, he became more and more shocked by Lin Feng’s strength.
It was only when he felt Lin Feng could truly oppose the Heavenly Court that they set up this ruse.
To uncover what had really happened in the Celestial Court, they needed to lure the immortals down to the Mortal Realm.
No matter how confident Lin Feng was, he wouldn’t dare just barge into the Celestial Court.
One wrong move could mean total annihilation.
Lin Feng lingered for a moment, then turned to the Destiny Sovereign and Ye Xi, saying, “So, you deal with him; take your time to ask away!”
Ye Xi nodded eagerly, “Got it, Master!”
The Destiny Sovereign hesitated a moment before looking at Lin Feng and saying, “Lin Feng, our actions this time might completely enrage the Celestial Court!”
“You should prepare yourself ahead of time!”
“The fusion of the three realms is coming, and what we’ll face then won’t just be someone like Jin Han!”
Lin Feng’s expression turned serious for a few moments as he waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry; I’ve grasped everything as soon as possible!”
Ye Xi was stunned, “……”
Why does that line sound so familiar? A bit strange.
The two took Jin Han away.
Lin Feng strolled back to the cave he had slept in for the past few months and glanced around, feeling a twinge of nostalgia.
A little while later, Yuan Ruoyu and Ye Qingge came to bid farewell, each representing their respective forces.
Now there were too many things to do.
Mainly, they all understood that while everyone was here, no one could monopolize Lin Feng.
It was better to step back for now…
Of course, there was a round of reluctant chatter; Lin Feng promised to visit them soon.
Then everyone dispersed.
The battlefield had been nearly cleaned up; the various forces came to bid farewell to Lin Feng before leaving.
The Primordial Mountain Range had regained its former solitude and desolation.
Yet the scars from this battle might take tens of thousands of years to heal.
In one corner of the battlefield, Grand Elder Chen Xiu knelt on the ground, pulling out a white cloth to wrap the only remaining leg of the Supreme Elder Fang Chen from the Xuanqing Sect.
He then lifted the broken body of Elder Dong Kun.
After extracting the coffin he had prepared earlier, he carefully placed both their remains inside.
Chen Xiu sighed and said, “Supreme Elder, Old Elder, we won! Farewell, we shall endure!”
Both had been killed shortly after the battle began.
Chen Xiu considered himself lucky; he had only lost an arm and managed to survive this huge war as a mere early-stage Refining Void cultivator.
It was nothing short of a miracle…
He didn’t take the opportunity to say goodbye to Lin Feng, blending in as they had come, without attracting too much attention.
Three early-stage Refining Void cultivators? They weren’t exactly three emperors!
Who would even notice them?
Chen Xiu thought to himself, “As long as my conscience is clear!”
————
Lin Feng stood on the hillside, gazing at the devastated landscape.
He sighed.
Suddenly, something struck him; he thought of seeking out Qing Dai, who was currently with the Taiping Sword and the Binding Immortal Rope, as if guarding her against escape…
Truth be told, Qing Dai did want to leave with Ye Qingge; she had no idea how to face Lin Feng after this!
But the Taiping Sword kept sticking around her, and she thought to herself, I’m going to snap this damned sword one of these days!
Qing Dai thought.
“Master, you’re here!”
The Taiping Sword spirit was thrilled to see him, “Sister Qing Dai has been waiting for you for a long time.”
“Before you even woke up, she couldn’t wait to barge into the secret realm; it took me a lot to get her out!”
Qing Dai: “……”
If she hadn’t truly been unable to beat him, she would’ve smashed that sword into pieces long ago.
Seeing him approach, she suddenly felt flustered, her heart racing.
What should she do?
He can’t actually think I’m here to treat him to milk tea, can he?
Lin Feng sheepishly glanced at her and asked, “Are you really going to treat me to a drink?”
“To be honest, I’m quite parched right now!”
He felt a bit emotional.
Not only a demon but many people too wouldn’t even repay a drop of kindness with a fountain of gratitude.
Qing Dai’s face reddened, “……”
She felt bashful but, despite not saying it outright, her feelings were quite clear.
Most importantly, she realized she didn’t seem to mind it much either?
