Chapter 1492: The Light Beam

Lin Pheng didn't follow them. During the next month, Ruo Xie and Mo Qing Tian probably had their own things to do.

The twelve direct disciples of Tiantai had already become quite strong. If they didn't encounter anyone on the verge of becoming an emperor, they were quite safe.

"I should go too." thought Lin Pheng. Then he smiled at Yun Fei Yang and said, "Fei Yang, Jun Mo Xi is the leader of the Celestial Palace of the Immortals. It's a pity that we didn't meet in Ba Huang, otherwise, we would have gotten a few drinks. What are your plans now?"

"The same as you." said Yun Fei Yang smiling. Then, they both laughed.

Lin Pheng took out a bottle of Hot Unit and threw it at Yun Fei Yang, "If you miss me so much, let's have a drink. That's the strongest drink you can find. We will meet again in the Holy City."

"We will." said Yun Fei Yang laughing. Yun Fei Yang, Jun Mo Xi and Lin Pheng had been good friends for a long time now and had traveled together.

"I'm off." said Lin Pheng nodding at Yun Fei Yang and the old man. "Mister, see you!"

"Alright, take care." said the old man politely. Lin Pheng walked to Pheng Ling and Pheng Xuan, then his gigantic sword appeared. They all jumped on it and rose up in the air. Nobody prevented them from leaving, not even Zhou Tian Ruo. His golden holy Qi gradually disappeared, but he watched Lin Pheng leave with a cold glare.

"If I have the opportunity, I'll definitely kill him in the future." thought Zhou Tian Ruo.

Bei Yan Yun watched as Lin Pheng left. She didn't know what to think about him. Lin Pheng hadn't been very polite in the first place. Many outstanding and strong cultivators came to that small town, but they all respected her. People from the Celestial Walls Manor usually despised everyone else because they were adepts at controlling force. She didn't know much about the outside world though, she didn't realize that there were incredible cultivators in the outside world.

In the distance, Lin Pheng's gigantic sword was flying in the sky. Lin Pheng was seated and looking at the two beautiful girls. Pheng Ling was giggling and staring back at Lin Pheng. Pheng Xuan was also smiling.

They looked happy. Lin Pheng's heart was pounding. He felt so sad for them. He knew how close they were to Emperor Qi Pheng, like a grandfather and his granddaughters, they were very close. They had even promised him they'd stay with him. Now, he was dead, and they didn't know what to think about that. Lin Pheng didn't know what to say now.

"Never mind, they will find out about that when the right time comes." thought Lin Pheng. The two girls were still smiling, they both looked so happy, and Lin Pheng didn't want to ruin their mood.

His sword streaked across the sky above the Tian Wen Empire. Using a portal was the best way to travel back to the Ba Huang Province. Three days later, Lin Pheng arrived in the southern part of Ba Huang, it was the second time he'd been there. The first time he had immediately ended up in Xue Bi Yao's room in the Celestial Land of Alchemists.

This time, he was in Fire Mountain.

Pheng Ling and Pheng Xuan initially wanted to go to the Qi Pheng Mountain when they were in the void between Jiu You and Ba Huang, but Lin Pheng couldn't let them go there. Emperor Qi Pheng was dead, so the situation was probably chaotic there. Lin Pheng had managed to tell them the truth, and they were emotionally stronger than what Lin Pheng had thought. They didn't smile anymore though and Pheng Ling who loved talking remained silent.

Lin Pheng said it was better to go back to the southern part of Ba Huang and didn't talk about the Qi Pheng Mountain again. Pheng Ling and Pheng Xuan didn't have any objections. They knew Lin Pheng was treating them well.

In the Fire Mountain, there used to be Emperor Yan but he had died in the Qi Empire. Fu Hei had to dismantle the Fire Mountain but in the end the Watchers' Father had said that if anyone dared attack those whose emperor had died, they'd regret it.

The guards who guarded the portal to Fire Mountain didn't prevent Lin Pheng from crossing after they saw him.

"There are still some people but the atmosphere here is a bit sad." thought Lin Pheng, rising into the air. Nobody paid attention to Lin Pheng. People were still mourning over Emperor Yan. If nobody broke through to the Huang Qi layer quickly, then Fire Mountain would be wiped off the map. Even with an emperor, safety wasn't guaranteed.

"I wonder how Fu Hei is feeling." thought Lin Pheng. Lin Pheng and Fu Hei had received Emperor Yan's fire cosmic energy. Lin Pheng had use it and now his fire abstruse energy was level eight. He felt grateful and had compassion for the Fire Mountain.

"Crr, crr." fire was burning all around them. In the north, huge flames dashed to the skies, causing the sky to reflect a particular shade of crimson.

"Is someone practicing cultivation there? How strong!" thought Lin Pheng. Then the flames exploded in the sky.

Lin Pheng looked at Pheng Xuan and Pheng Ling and said, "Let's go."

This time, their goal was to learn more about what had happened in the Qi Pheng Mountain.

Pheng Ling and Pheng Xuan nodded, and they continued traveling.

"boom boom!" another loud bang sounded. Lin Pheng, Pheng Ling and Pheng Xuan's hearts started racing violently. Everybody in the surroundings was shaking and shivering. There were countless fireballs in the sky which had all exploded.

Lin Pheng and the others turned around and looked towards Fire Mountain. There was a light made of fire which had created fissures in the sky.

The southern part of Ba Huang was extremely vast, but everyone in the territory was looking up at the sky.

In the Celestial Land of Alchemists, Emperor Dan suddenly stood up and looked angry.

"Who's that?" said Emperor Dan coldly. It couldn't be Fu Hei because his fire was much weaker.

It wasn't the first time that Lin Pheng had seen such a light. The first was when he broken the seal on the three lives scriptures, this time, a fire had pierced the sky. Lin Pheng was surprised, that was fire cosmic energy, but who had fire cosmic energy in the Fire Mountain which had fallen?

Even if it was the first time Lin Pheng had seen such a thing, he knew what it meant. Someone had broken through to the Huang Qi layer. Lin Pheng, just like Emperor Dan, was wondering who had broken through to the Huang Qi layer.

In the southern part of Ba Huang, many people rushed to Fire Mountain as fast as they could. The fastest ones were those from the Celestial Land of Alchemists because they had the tunnel.

"Let's go back and see." said Lin Pheng. Just who could have broken through to the Huang Qi layer?

After a short time, everyone in the Ba Huang Province knew that someone new had become an emperor.
