New and dark light years

Chapter 256 The Target of the Star-Picking Tower
The Zhuxian Society's mediocre skills!
Even Li Lin wouldn't dare say that, since neither the strange technique that could teleport the soul back nor the flying sword he had just seen could be explained by a mere martial skill.

It is a technique.

It could also be a lower-level technique of immortal magic.

But the fact that Zhaixinglou dares to say this suggests that it must have equivalent strength or targeted measures.

Zhang Zonghao remained silent, but the young man wielding the sword laughed: "Do you really think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can question the Immortal Execution Society? Star-Picking Tower, never even heard of it."

That's a rather impolite statement.

Chu Feng grinned maliciously: "Why don't you come down and try out the methods of the Star-Picking Tower?"

"Oh, then I'll give it a try." The young man floated gently down from the rooftop: "I hope I won't disappoint you."

"Xiao Ding, don't fall for it, he's trying to provoke you."

The young man ignored him and slowly drifted down.

Li Lin was somewhat shocked as he watched the person descend.

Li Lin had seen many lightness techniques; they were either fast runners, high jumpers, or both.

But... this was the first time he had ever seen anything that could slow his descent.

Li Lin's lightness technique, the Eighteen Willow Catkins, appears to fall very quickly, but in reality, it involves rapidly changing positions in mid-air. Although it looks like he is falling fast, the actual falling speed is the same; it's just that he changes positions in mid-air, making it appear to be ever-changing.

Adding to the sword control technique he just demonstrated, this young man's strength is quite extraordinary.

Or rather, his 'skills' are different from ordinary martial arts; they are something on another level.

At this moment, Lu Ying looked at Li Lin and whispered, "Why don't we leave first? I feel like we can't afford to offend these people."

Her voice was very soft, but all the experts present heard it.

Everyone glanced at her, but no one paid her any attention.

Because there was almost no one weaker than her in the scene.

The young man landed on the ground, beckoned to Chu Feng, and said, "Come on, let me see what you're made of."

Chu Feng laughed and said, "You actually went looking for death."

He then waved his hand, and several women appeared behind him, dressed in red and wearing face masks.

Moreover, they each held a jade flute in their hands.

"Rely on them?"

"Yes, we'll rely on them."

The young man burst into laughter: "Ridiculous, a bunch of weak women, what can they do to me?"

Chu Feng slowly said, "The Dragon Trapping Formation does not kill nameless individuals. State your name."

"The Immortal Execution Society, Ding Xie."

"It's clear that you're very strong and proud."

Ding Xie held the jade sword and chuckled, "Of course, a dragon among men should naturally possess the pride of a dragon among men."

Chu Feng, fan in one hand, said coldly, "Play music."

Six women held the jade flutes to their lips and began to play them simultaneously.

The sound was shrill and unpleasant.

At first, no one reacted. Ding Xie was about to laugh when suddenly his expression changed: "What kind of evil is this...?"

After saying that, he suddenly pointed forward.

The jade sword in his hand flew up and aimed directly at Chu Feng's face.

The jade sword flew at an extremely fast speed. When it had traveled halfway, it began to tremble slightly, then started to fall, finally crashing onto the floor before sliding down to Chu Feng's feet.

Chu Feng gently stepped on the jade sword, a smug smile on his face: "Do you really think that we, the Star-Picking Tower, are overestimating ourselves by coming to your Immortal Execution Society?"

Ding Xie's face turned quite ugly. He turned around and shouted, "Zhang Zonghao, help me out of this..."

But upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Zhang Zonghao was also being entangled by several men in black.

At the same time, several more men in black pounced down from the sky.

Ding Xie's face showed fear and anger: "You are despicable."

Chu Feng waved his fan, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Several men in black swooped down from the sky and surrounded Ding Xie.

Without the jade sword, Ding Xie's combat power was greatly reduced.

It seemed that their movements slowed down because of the strange shrieking sounds from those jade flutes.

In less than three breaths, he was punched in the chest, coughing up blood and staggering back several steps.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he leaped high into the air, but his leap seemed rather slow. He was immediately grabbed by the ankle by a man in black, pulled down, and slammed heavily to the ground.

He vomited blood.

The more smug he was before, the more pathetic he is now.

Ding Xie looked at the men in black around him in terror, then looked up and shouted at Zhang Zonghao, "Save me!"

Using his agile lightness technique, Zhang Zonghao dodged another attack. He gritted his teeth and then threw a small ball.

The ball landed on the roof, emitting a puff of blue smoke.

The men in black dared not advance any further and dispersed.

Zhang Zonghao immediately rushed out of the gap and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Looking at the spot where Zhang Zonghao had disappeared, Ding Xie's eyes were filled with despair.

Chu Feng walked up to Ding Xie and said, "Do you have any last words?"

"You dare kill me?" Ding Xie's eyes were filled with fear, but he still spoke threateningly: "My father is an elder of the Zhuxian Society!"

"Long-winded."

Chu Feng stomped on Ding Xie's neck, crushing it with a single step. Amidst the sound of bones breaking, Ding Xie coughed up blood, dying with his eyes wide open.

Then Chu Feng said, "Stop." The women put away their flutes.

Chu Feng then looked at Li Lin and smiled, "Supervisor Li, I'm very sorry to have disturbed your enjoyment."

Li Lin cupped his hands in greeting: "No problem."

His gaze then fell on the jade flutes in the hands of several women.

Seemingly sensing Li Lin's curiosity, Chu Feng laughed and said, "This is a killing move specifically designed to target those who have cultivated the Obscure Word Technique. Ding Xie is clearly a member of the Immortal Execution Society, yet he still tries to learn the methods of cultivating immortality. He's just crying 'stop thief' while being the thief himself."

Li Lin smiled but didn't say anything.

Chu Feng continued, "Brother Li, rest assured, I guarantee that this Dragon-Trapping Formation will not be used against you."

Lu Ying suddenly looked at Li Lin.

Now she knows what kind of cultivation technique Li Lin practiced.

At this moment, someone next to him picked up the jade sword and handed it to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng turned the White Master Immortal Sword around and handed it horizontally to Li Lin: "This is an apology."

The sword was right in front of him. Li Lin examined it closely and found that it was indeed the White Jade Immortal Sword.

He didn't take it, but instead asked, "Are there many of these swords in the Jade Dynasty?"

The white jade immortal sword in the house was also stolen from the Taoist priests of the Immortal Execution Society.

"Yes, quite a lot. This kind of sword is a relatively high-quality standard weapon in the Immortal Execution Society. People who have cultivated the Concealment Technique and the Sword Control Technique will all carry one."

Li Lin said, "One should not accept rewards without merit."

"I know you've already taken one, but taking one more isn't necessarily a bad thing."

"Don't you need it?"

“I have quite a lot at home too.”

Li Lin thought for a moment, then accepted it and said, "Thank you."

"You're too kind. The four pill formulas that Brother Li gave me are of immeasurable value. I can't find anything suitable to return the favor right now."

"The deal is now complete."

“Brother Li, you think you’ve accomplished it, but I don’t think so.” Chu Feng smiled and said, “Although the Zhuxian Society has been sending people to the Southern Frontier, most of them have been blocked by our Zhaixing Tower. Moreover, for at least the next six months, they won’t have time to come to the Southern Frontier to cause trouble. Brother Li can rest assured for a while.”

Holding the white jade immortal sword, Li Lin suddenly asked, "Can these items made of immortal jade attract or resonate with each other?"

"Never heard of it." Chu Feng shook his head.

Li Lin nodded: "Thank you for clarifying my doubts."

"I should go back too." Chu Feng laughed. "Also, Brother Li, you can try to snatch the Huaxi Treasure now. Those people are all badly injured after several nights of fighting, and Han Qing is exhausted."

"What rare treasures from West China did they steal?"

"Dragon energy!"

"Dragon energy?" Li Lin was taken aback. "Why would the Imperial City Guard release this?"

"It's just a wisp of dragon energy. It is indeed useful, but it's not very useful, especially for people in the martial arts world," Chu Feng explained. "Only those who have cultivated the Concealment Technique can truly use it."

After saying this, he clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, then left.

The Star-Picking Tower came quickly and went quickly.

Everyone left in no time.

Li Lin looked at the dead Ding Xie and walked over to him.

This person must be very talented, to have mastered a technique like the "Hidden Word Technique".

Lu Ying was also standing beside Li Lin at this moment. She stared wide-eyed and asked, "Isn't it a legend in the martial arts world that the 'Hidden Word Technique' is a lie and that ordinary people can't learn it? How come this dead man knows it, and it seems like you, Senior Brother Li, also know it?"

Li Lin said helplessly, "That's right. People from ordinary martial arts sects can't master it, but those who follow the path of immortal cultivation might be able to."

Lu Ying looked at Li Lin with a strange expression.

Li Lin ignored her, squatted down, and began to grope Ding Xie's body.

After a while, he stood up helplessly, because apart from a few silver notes, he had nothing else.

However, the amount of the silver notes was quite large.

Li Lin gave half to Lu Ying.

Lu Ying held up the silver notes, her already large eyes appearing even larger: "Giving me so much money?"

"Everyone who sees it has a share."

"Thank you so much, you're so kind." Lu Ying happily put the silver notes into her pocket.

Unlike Lu Ying, who was simple-minded, Li Lin had many more things on his mind.

He didn't mention earlier that his family's immortal sword, under the influence of spiritual energy, could absorb other objects of the same material.

He didn't mention that the noise from the women in the so-called 'Dragon Trapping Formation' had only slightly affected his spiritual energy, though it had caused a slight fluctuation.

Has little effect.

After all... he was no longer practicing the Obscure Word Technique, but the Foundation Building Technique.

His body is now filled with pure spiritual energy.

Unfortunately, Chu Feng killed Ding Xie too quickly. If it were Li Lin, he would have forced the other party to reveal the cultivation method of the sword control technique.

Even though it may not be successful, and the other party is very likely not to say anything, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

At that moment, Li Lin suddenly turned his head to the west.

The little paper figure that was thrown away earlier has now received a response.

He said, "Brother An and the others from Tianyi Sect seem to have encountered some trouble in the west of the city."

Lu Ying was shocked. She hurriedly stuffed the silver notes into her clothes, then grabbed Li Lin's hand and ran westward: "We have to hurry and help!"
