"Yes!" Although the soldiers were exhausted, they obeyed the orders and immediately began to move.

In a short while, the place became deathly silent.

Apart from a dozen or so corpses lying haphazardly on the ground and the charred remains of a carriage, there was nothing else.

Lin Feng scanned the surrounding area of ​​several hundred meters with night vision goggles, but found no trace of living beings lurking there.

Everyone has been evacuated quickly.

"When you're out in the world, you're bound to get hurt."

Lin Feng's gaze fell on the corpses: "So be it. Meeting is fate, we are all fellow Daoists."

Since I've run into you, I guess I'll just have to collect your corpses.

After all, coming from a charitable background, they couldn't bear to see corpses left to rot in the wilderness.

After saying that, he swayed and fell silently from the treetop like a falling leaf.

In a short while, the Black Lotus had devoured all the corpses.

Lin Feng quickly retreated and left the battlefield.

Find a secluded spot and enter the space.

The Black Lotus also feeds back all information and energy.

There were 16 people in total, most of whom were at the third level of the Acquired Realm, with only two experts at the fifth level of the Acquired Realm.

Having absorbed this energy, Lin Feng's Qi surged through his eight meridians.

Of the 360 ​​acupoints in the body, 359 have already been opened, leaving only the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head. Once opened, it will be the innate realm.

I'm just short on energy, but I should be able to manage by tonight.

Acupoints are the boosters of internal energy and techniques. In addition to Baihui acupoint, Lin Feng has now opened 359 acupoints in his body.

Now, it can be considered a true master of all meridians.

Not bad, Lin Feng was quite satisfied with the improvement in his cultivation.

Compared to Yongguan County, a small county town, this big city is developing much faster.

At the same time, Lin Feng also gained a lot of skills from these corpses.

For example, blacksmithing, carving, and even concealed weapons—in short, they are tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.

None of these people possessed particularly powerful martial arts skills, far inferior to the secret manual given by Gu Yu.

Those who are truly capable wouldn't end up in such a miserable state.

After organizing the information.

Lin Feng then emerged from the spatial dimension and, instead of resting, sped towards Huayang Prefecture.

I plan to break through to the Innate Realm in one go tonight.

For others, overcoming innate limitations may present significant challenges.

But for Lin Feng, who is overpowered, as long as he has enough energy, that's all that matters.

Although Lin Feng's cultivation level was only at the peak of the Acquired Realm, his true energy was extremely pure, comparable to that of the Innate Realm.

Although Lin Feng doesn't possess top-tier martial arts techniques, his ability to open all meridians and most acupoints is a testament to his exceptional skill.

Its recovery ability is simply unbeatable.

He recovered in a few breaths.

The moon was like a silver plate, and Lin Feng's figure flickered on the treetops.

Like a ghost.

They quickly caught up with the guards of Huayang Prefecture.

After all, these people were wearing armor, which slowed their movements.

Lin Feng's target was not them, so he ignored them and quickly passed by.

Everyone only felt a black shadow flash by, but when they looked again, it had vanished without a trace.

The head of the guards grew increasingly serious. So many people had just passed by, each one of them possessing exceptional skills.

The fact that even he couldn't see the figures clearly was enough to show that the opponents were all innate masters.

Thinking about this makes me feel a little heavy-hearted.

Although there is only one realm between acquired and innate, they are worlds apart.

These armored soldiers can defend against experts who have acquired their skills, but they cannot defend against experts who have acquired their skills.

One is okay, but how do you defend against so many at once?

Moreover, with Wu Bin absent, the group was leaderless, and he had absolutely no confidence.

Along the way, Lin Feng also encountered these people from the martial arts world, but he did not greet them.

Lin Feng moved like a shadow, silently scaling the city wall and sneaking into the city before anyone else.

The city was not peaceful under the cover of night; a sense of impending doom permeated the air.

As soon as they arrived near the city lord's mansion, they saw that the five people who had been hiding in the shadows outside the city were now appearing in the front courtyard of the mansion as if it were empty.

They moved with light and agile steps, their breaths long and drawn out, almost blending into their surroundings.

In Lin Feng's eyes, they were all better than him.

"They are indeed all innate masters."

Two of them appeared to be twin brothers, their breathing rhythms perfectly synchronized, clearly indicating their mastery of combined attacks.

With this kind of lineup, they can practically do whatever they want.

At this moment, Wu Changning, the son of Prefect Wu Bin, stood in front of the hall with a sword in his hand.

Although he is young, he has already reached the early stage of the Innate Realm, making him a promising young talent.

But now, facing these five innate masters, his face turned pale, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the sword bulged slightly. Anyone could see that he was no match for them, and that fighting them head-on would only lead to his death.

"We still underestimated the significance of this white jade token," Lin Feng shook his head slightly in the shadows.

"Hand over the Jade Token!"

Among the five, a burly man with gray hair and a thick beard stepped forward, his voice like muffled thunder, particularly deafening in the quiet night.

His gaze sharpened, locking onto Wu Changning.

Wu Changning's Adam's apple bobbed, but he didn't brace himself and rush forward.

He took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound calm, and said directly, following his father's instructions, "You are all late."

My father has taken the jade token to Liangzhou City and handed it over to the governor for safekeeping.

Upon receiving the news, he secretly set off that very night and is likely already within the borders of Liangzhou City.

"Hmph, a diversionary tactic?"

The twin experts spoke simultaneously, their voices overlapping and carrying an eerie quality, "Since that's the case, let's capture you, the prefect's son, first. We're not afraid that Wu Bin won't bring the real token in exchange."

"Make your move!" The burly man with a bushy beard grew impatient, his five fingers forming claws, carrying a scorching wind, as he grabbed at Wu Changning's head.

"Stop! Don't touch my son!"

At the critical moment, a slightly hoarse shout came from the direction of the backyard.

A figure staggered forward and stood in front of Wu Changning.

Upon seeing who it was, Wu Changning's pupils constricted, and she exclaimed in shock, "Father? Why are you back?!"

The visitor was none other than Prefect Wu Bin.

At this moment, however, he had completely lost his usual official demeanor and dignity, and his face, illuminated by the lanterns in the corridor, had a frightening bluish-gray hue.

He had barely managed to stand when he suddenly coughed, and then with a "whoosh," he spat out a mouthful of thick, black blood, which fell to the ground.

The other five frowned upon seeing this.

"You're ruthless enough to have used forbidden techniques to push your potential to its limit. It seems you're at your last gasp."

The others also sighed. They had finally reached the Innate Realm, only to have it all end like this. They were also quite moved.

With trembling hands, Wu Bin struggled to pull something out from his bosom, close to his body.

It was the white jade token that brought about the disaster.

He looked at the jade pendant, his eyes filled with an unbearable pain and resentment.

However, his breathing was disordered at this moment, and the true energy in his meridians was almost exhausted. Anyone could see that he was at his last gasp and was at the end of his rope.

"All you want is the jade token. Take it, but don't hurt my son."

Having said that, he seemed to have used up his last bit of strength, and with a flick of his arm, he threw the white jade token, which countless people coveted, into the open space of the courtyard.

Almost the instant the jade pendant left his hand, Wu Bin's last breath completely dissipated, and he swayed.

He turned his head with difficulty, grabbed Wu Changning's arm tightly, and said in a very low voice, "I'm afraid Ning'er's father won't make it through tonight."

You must live!

He coughed up some blood and foam, his eyes began to glaze over, but he still mustered the last bit of clarity to lean close to Wu Changning's ear and say, "Remember, you must be ranked first in the martial arts examination, only then will your future be bright."

Don't seek revenge for your father; it's all his own fault for overestimating his abilities.

Before he could finish speaking, his hand, which was holding Wu Changning's, slipped limply, and he fell backward.

"Father!" Wu Changning's heart-wrenching cry was piercing.

At this moment, the five experts' gazes were no longer on the dying prefect; they were all vying for the White Jade Token.

There was a subtle clash between their auras; among the five, the twin brothers were the strongest.

From the depths of the distant tree shadows, Lin Feng took in everything.

His gaze swept over the grief-stricken Wu Changning, and over the tempting yet unbearably hot white jade token.

I didn't expect you to be back so soon.

A night breeze blew by, and Lin Feng smacked his lips lightly.

This white jade token is indeed very strange.

It's a ladder to heaven when you hold it in your hand, but below this ladder lies an endless abyss.

It's truly a case of whoever touches it dies; it's incredibly powerful.
