Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1338 Martial Uncle

Gao Zhengqing and Mu Qianyang each chose a spot and sat down cross-legged.

Trying to outlast them in terms of patience and endurance is just asking for trouble.

Their only concern now is that the two elders who went into the water to capture people have not yet come out of the water to breathe.

It's probably because the two elders are highly skilled and don't need to come out of the water to breathe every half day like Lin Feng.

However, after a day, Gao Zhengqing felt a strange sensation rising in his heart.

Seeing that the two elders were not moving, how could Lin Feng come out of the water to breathe?

Even if the water surface is wide, the deep water area won't be very large.

Have the two elders not found Lin Feng yet?

Gao Zhengqing and Mu Qianyang waited on the riverbank for two days, their hearts filled with unease.

Two days! That's the maximum a cultivator can hold their breath for. Why haven't we seen the two elders come out of the water to breathe yet?

Even Lin Feng stopped showing himself.

Gao Zhengqing couldn't stand it any longer; he wanted to go into the water and take a look.

But Mu Qianyang was still sitting on the opposite bank.

Let this guy go into the water to check the situation, while I stay on the shore in case Lin Feng escapes.

Gao Zhengqing communicated with Mu Qianyang through telepathy across the river.

Although Mu Qianyang was very reluctant to go into the water, the current situation was not optimistic, and the two elders had also disappeared. What exactly happened underwater?

When they looked at the water again, the waves were still rolling forward, but they revealed an eerie feeling.

Beyond the reach of conscious perception, it's like being blind; facing the unknown inevitably evokes a sense of mystery and a touch of fear.

Mu Qianyang knew that he would not be in danger if he went into the water; at most, he would lose face.

After a moment's hesitation, Mu Qianyang jumped into the water.

He wandered back and forth in the deep water, but found nothing.

Even the two sect elders who had already gone into the water have disappeared without a trace.

In half a day, Mu Qianyang had already swum back and forth twice, but still found nothing.

As Gao Zhengqing waited anxiously on the riverbank, he saw a splash on the surface of the river, and Mu Qianyang emerged, leaping out of the water and skimming across the surface to stand in front of Gao Zhengqing.

"Senior Brother Gao, there's nothing there."

Mu Qianyang was soaking wet, looking heavy-hearted and bewildered.

"Where are Elder Yan and Elder Gui?"

Mu Qianyang didn't speak, he just shook his head.

Gao Zhengqing frowned as he looked at the shimmering river surface and muttered to himself.

"This is...a ghost..."

The two sect leaders, who had dominated the cultivation world for many years, had never been so disheveled and bewildered.

"Junior Brother Mu, what do you think?"

Gao Zhengqing has lost his way.

Mu Qianyang said with a long face, "What else can we tell? Have we all been tricked by this kid?"

Gao Zhengqing shook his head firmly: "He wouldn't have that ability; something must have gone wrong somewhere."

"Should we wait?"

Regardless of anything else, this is the main problem facing the two of them.

Gao Zhengqing gritted his teeth: "Let's split up and search again. I don't believe in this nonsense."

"Okay, that's it."

The two separated and each leaped into the water.

Just as Mu Qianyang was about to plunge into the water, he heard Gao Zhengqing's voice.

"Junior Brother Mu, be careful."

He sighed inwardly. For someone as arrogant as Gao Zhengqing to say such a thing proved the seriousness of the situation.

In less than half a day, the two emerged from the water.

Without even asking, just by looking at the other person's expression, you can tell that they still haven't gotten anything.

Both Lin Feng and the two elders have mysteriously disappeared.

Since the person was no longer in the river, there was no point in them staying any longer. They should go back up the mountain and discuss their next steps.

This operation was a complete failure.

Lin Feng, that sharp wooden thorn, remains deeply embedded in their hearts.

Lin Feng had already followed the deep waters of the riverbed upstream to the waterfall, and then climbed up the rock wall behind the waterfall to enter the upstream river channel.

After leaving the range of the two sect leaders' consciousness monitoring, he flew into the dense mountain forest.

This time, they escaped unscathed and successfully eliminated Gui Ju and Yan Su.

This allowed Lin Feng to finally vent his anger.

This is just the beginning; his next target is the Taihang Sword-Shaped Gate.

His own sister was being held captive on a mountain, her fate unknown.

Lin Feng thought this way, and naturally Gao Zhengqing would too.

Gao Zhengqing brought Mu Qianyang back to the Zhengyi Sect's headquarters. Seeing his two disciples still lying dead in the main hall, he felt extremely upset.

Mu Qianyang frowned and said, "Senior Brother Gao, Lin Feng has escaped like a fish in the sea. It will be difficult to capture or kill him again."

Gao Zhengqing's thoughts differed from Mu Qianyang's. He was pondering what exactly made Lin Feng so difficult to deal with.

Logically speaking, the four people in front of us are top cultivators from hidden sects. Any one of them could move freely in the cultivation world without any trouble.

Not to mention the four of them joining forces, who in the world could resist them?

But how did these four high-level cultivators suffer such a crushing defeat in this pursuit?

Where did Yan Su and Gui Ju go?

Even if Lin Feng killed him underwater, there should have been a body left behind, so how come there's no trace of him?

Gao Zhengqing was a staunch believer in the path to immortality, and devoted his entire life to cultivation.

The bizarre nature of how things have unfolded has left him feeling bewildered.

They also began to doubt their own abilities.

The Zhengyi Sect has been passed down for thousands of years. When it came to his hands, although there were few disciples, they were all elites. In the cultivation world, no one dared to underestimate the Zhengyi Sect.

He adheres to the principle of "quality over quantity," conducting rigorous assessments and selecting elite talent.

Therefore, how could Lin Feng, an unknown figure and a low-level cultivator in the cultivation world, possibly inflict such heavy damage on the Zhengyi Sect?

There must be some shocking inside story behind this.

Thinking of this, she ignored Mu Qianyang's words and turned to walk quickly out of the hall.

Helpless, Mu Qianyang had no choice but to follow behind him, leaving the courtyard through the main gate and rushing down the mountain.

Soon, the two arrived at the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain and landed at the entrance of the main hall in the back courtyard.

At this moment, Gao Zhengqing straightened his clothes and tidied his hair, then strode into the main hall.

Mu Qianyang followed along, completely bewildered, wondering what Gao Zhengqing was up to.

The main hall was very quiet, with only an old man in a gray cloth robe wiping the altar in front of the statue with a piece of cotton cloth in his hand.

Gao Zhengqing quickly approached the old man and bowed respectfully.

"Uncle-Master, your nephew has encountered a problem."

The old man continued wiping without stopping or speaking.

Mu Qianyang was stunned. It turned out that there was an even higher generation in the Zhengyi Sect. No wonder it could stand out from the crowd and no other sect could shake its top position.

Gao Zhengqing remained bowed, his attitude extremely respectful.

The old man, however, continued to work diligently and attentively, without even glancing at Gao Zhengqing and the other man.

The atmosphere was extremely somber. Gao Zhengqing remained motionless, and Mu Qianyang stood blankly to the side, lost in thought.

After nearly 45 minutes, the old man gradually slowed down his wiping of the table and eventually stopped, letting out a long sigh.

"Hey kid, what kind of famine have you caused?"
