I, the Invincible Genius, Only Want to Live a Low-Key Life - Chapter 3

Inside a side hall of the Divine Sky Sword Sect.

After Lin Feng and Su Xiyao left, Luo Yuntian finally spoke: “Everyone, proceed according to the plan!”

“Yes, Sect Leader Senior Brother!” The other five responded in unison.

“Leng Junior Sister! You will not participate in the operation against the Rakshasa Sect this time. Go back and carefully study the information on the Nine Nether Secret Realm. Your age happens to fit within the rules. When the secret realm opens in a month, you will enter alone with your identity concealed to search for the Bianhua Flower! I will assign others to attract outside attention. No matter what, we must obtain the Bianhua Flower and save Senior Brother Su Mubai. He has contributed so much to our Divine Sky Sword Sect; we cannot let those who have rendered meritorious service feel disheartened.” Luo Yuntian instructed Leng Hanshuang.

“Rest assured, Sect Leader Senior Brother! I will complete the mission.” Leng Hanshuang replied.

“Good! Then let’s disperse.” Luo Yuntian nodded.

After the others left, Luo Yuntian remained standing in place.

He still had some doubts in his heart.

Logically, the Rakshasa Sect would not dare provoke the Divine Sky Sword Sect.

Yet this time, not only did they seriously injure Senior Brother Su Mubai, but they also stole the Haoran Sword.

How could a mere Rakshasa Sect bear the wrath of the Divine Sky Sword Sect?

Could someone be manipulating things behind the scenes?

Who could it be?

The Infinite Demon Sect or the Seven Kill Sect?

Moreover, with the Nine Nether Secret Realm about to open, Senior Brother Su Mubai was poisoned by Soul-Devouring Powder at this very moment, and only the Bianhua Flower from the Nine Nether Secret Realm can cure him. Could someone be trying to lure the Divine Sky Sword Sect into sending more forces into the Nine Nether Secret Realm?

What is their goal?

All these questions would take time for Luo Yuntian to unravel.

In any case, Su Mubai’s vengeance must be exacted, and the Haoran Sword must not be lost.

No matter what the enemy’s intentions are, if they dare provoke the Divine Sky Sword Sect, they must be prepared to face its wrath.

Lone Remnant Peak.

After returning, Lin Feng began to pore over the ancient texts.

The library at Lone Remnant Peak was vast, with books piled like mountains.

Lone Remnant Peak had once enjoyed glory, but now it had fallen into decline.

Thanks to Lin Feng’s tireless efforts, fortune favored the diligent, and after three days, he finally found the Bianhua Flower in an ancient book introducing various rare spiritual herbs of the Nine Provinces Continent.

“Bianhua Flower, naturally fond of cold, mainly grows in extremely frigid places. The flower resembles a dragon’s claw, bright red, with scaly roots, clustered leaves, slender pointed tips, solitary calyx, terminal umbrella-shaped inflorescence. Legend has it that the Bianhua Flower is a flower of the Netherworld…”

After reading the introduction to the Bianhua Flower, Lin Feng also learned that the Bianhua Flower had appeared in a place called the Nine Nether Secret Realm.

He immediately began searching for information about the Nine Nether Secret Realm.

Soon, he found it.

“Nine Nether Secret Realm, rumored to be a passage connecting to the Netherworld. The secret realm is filled with dense, chilling yin energy, with no sunlight. The plants and animals living inside, having long absorbed the yin cold energy, sometimes mutate, resulting in many spiritual herbs and exotic beasts. Those who enter must be extremely cautious, or they may lose their lives at any moment. The Nine Nether Secret Realm opens once every hundred years…”

Lin Feng calculated the time for the next opening of the Nine Nether Secret Realm and felt a surge of joy.

The Nine Nether Secret Realm would open in a little over a month, and remain open for three months. His master could hold on for half a year-there was enough time.

As long as he could find the Bianhua Flower in the Nine Nether Secret Realm and refine the antidote pill with the supplementary herbs from the Divine Sky Sword Sect, he could cure his master of the poison.

But then Lin Feng suddenly froze.

The Nine Nether Secret Realm only opens once every hundred years, yet his master was poisoned by Soul-Devouring Powder at this very moment, forcing them to seek the Bianhua Flower in the secret realm.

Was it a coincidence?

Highly unlikely!

Someone must be targeting the Divine Sky Sword Sect.

It seemed he could not pin his hopes on the Divine Sky Sword Sect.

Finding the Bianhua Flower would have to depend on himself.

Having found a way to save his master, Lin Feng turned his attention to another matter.

Who had harmed his master so grievously?

As a disciple, avenging his master was only right.

But discovering the culprit behind his master’s suffering would not be easy. After all, Martial Uncle Sect Leader had said this was a sect secret, and likely only a handful of top elders in the Divine Sky Sword Sect knew anything about it.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng felt troubled.

Although he was the Eldest Senior Brother of his generation in the Divine Sky Sword Sect and had been there for twenty years, he rarely left Lone Remnant Peak, so his acquaintance with the sect’s upper echelon was limited.

He was only familiar with the other six members of the Divine Sky Seven Swords alongside his master Su Mubai; he hardly knew the rest.

Therefore, if he wanted to find out who harmed his master, he could only start with the six Martial Uncles.

But who should he approach?

Martial Uncle Sect Leader was out of the question-he was the sect leader, and if he intended to tell him, he would have done so already.

Of the remaining five, after much consideration, Lin Feng settled on Leng Hanshuang.

He knew that Martial Uncle Leng was actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

When Lin Feng was young, since Su Mubai was often away from the sect, he would entrust Lin Feng to Leng Hanshuang.

Of course, that was more than twenty years ago. Since Lin Feng became self-sufficient, he had lived on Lone Remnant Peak with his junior sister Su Xiyao, until she became a disciple of Liu Hongluan.

Having made his choice, Lin Feng headed to Jade Maiden Peak, which was under Leng Hanshuang’s management.

As soon as he entered, he was stopped by two female disciples.

Jade Maiden Peak only accepted female disciples. Male disciples from other peaks of the Divine Sky Sword Sect had to report before entering.
“Eldest Senior Brother, please wait! May I ask where you are from, and what brings you to Jade Maiden Peak?” Two female disciples blocked Lin Feng, politely inquiring.

They could tell Lin Feng was a true disciple, but did not recognize him.

“My name is Lin Feng, from Lone Remnant Peak. I wish to see Martial Uncle Leng. Would you please notify her for me? Thank you!” Lin Feng replied courteously.

Lin Feng?

Lone Remnant Peak?

The two disciples from Jade Maiden Peak thought for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed in shock, “Are you Eldest Senior Brother Lin Feng?”

Being called Eldest Senior Brother left Lin Feng a bit flustered.

Ever since joining Divine Sky Sword Sect, he had rarely left Lone Remnant Peak, all to keep a low profile and survive.

In his previous life on Earth, it was precisely his youthful arrogance that left nothing of him in the end.

Now that he had been reborn, he certainly wouldn’t repeat the same mistakes.

On Earth, those top-tier empires had nuclear bombs as their mighty trump cards, and the great powers of Li Province were no pushovers either.

What puzzled Lin Feng the most was:

He had kept such a low profile-how was it that people still recognized him?

What he didn’t know was that, as the Eldest Senior Brother of Divine Sky Sword Sect, just the title alone made it impossible to stay unnoticed.

If Lin Feng had ranked outside the top ten among his generation in Divine Sky Sword Sect, perhaps none of the disciples would even know of him.

But Lin Feng was famous, though not for good reasons.

The higher-ups in Divine Sky Sword Sect had only one word to describe Lin Feng:

Useless!!!

The disciples added another word after useless:

Mysterious!!!

Useless was spread by word of mouth.

Mysterious was because no one had ever seen him.

It was the first time seeing the legendary Eldest Senior Brother, so it was no wonder the two disciples from Jade Maiden Peak were so surprised.

“I am Lin Feng! Would you please notify Martial Uncle Leng.” Lin Feng spoke again.

“O-okay! Eldest Senior Brother Lin, please wait! I will go and inform her right away!” One of the disciples from Jade Maiden Peak replied.

She immediately turned and entered Jade Maiden Peak.

The other stayed behind, carefully sizing up Lin Feng.

In Li Province, usually, the Eldest Senior Brother of a sect was an extremely formidable figure.

After all, he was the face of the sect.

Only Divine Sky Sword Sect’s Eldest Senior Brother was considered useless.

This was also a frequent topic among the disciples.

This Eldest Senior Brother, both mysterious and useless, would pique anyone’s curiosity.

The remaining Jade Maiden Peak disciple looked at Lin Feng and thought to herself regretfully, “Eldest Senior Brother Lin Feng is so handsome. It’s a pity his strength is too weak, otherwise, who knows how many senior and junior sisters would swoon over him.”

Lin Feng did not care how others viewed him.

Soon, the disciple who had gone to report returned.

“Eldest Senior Brother Lin Feng, please come with me!”

“Thank you, junior sisters!”

“No need to be so polite, Eldest Senior Brother!”

Lin Feng followed the leading female disciple into Jade Maiden Peak. This was his first time here.

There were two places in Divine Sky Sword Sect that male disciples particularly yearned to visit.

The first was this Jade Maiden Peak, where all the female disciples were fresh and charming.

The second was Morning Glow Peak, overseen by Liu Hongluan.

But there was a difference between these two peaks.

Jade Maiden Peak, managed by Leng Hanshuang, accepted only female disciples, while Morning Glow Peak, managed by Liu Hongluan, accepted both men and women.

By comparison, Jade Maiden Peak was even more alluring.

Along the way, under the curious gazes of numerous female disciples, Lin Feng finally met Leng Hanshuang.

“Lin Feng greets Martial Uncle Leng!” Lin Feng said respectfully.

“No need to be so formal, Nephew Lin Feng. Just say what brings you here,” Leng Hanshuang replied expressionlessly.

True to her name, Leng Hanshuang’s personality was just as cold as her name suggested, always giving people a frosty feeling, regardless of who she was dealing with.

If she were on Earth, she would be the classic ice-cold beauty type.

“Martial Uncle Leng! I apologize for coming abruptly today. I came to ask who it was that injured my master so badly. I hope Martial Uncle can enlighten me!” Lin Feng cupped his hands and stated his purpose for coming.

From what he knew, Leng Hanshuang did not like beating around the bush, so it was better to be direct.

“Nephew Lin Feng! The Sect Leader already said last time that Senior Brother Mubai’s matter will be handled by Divine Sky Sword Sect. You should focus your mind on cultivation! Strive to inherit Senior Brother Mubai’s mantle as soon as possible so that others won’t covet it. As for other matters, you need not ask further.” Leng Hanshuang replied.

“Martial Uncle, you’ve misunderstood! I only want to know the enemy’s identity; I have no intention of doing anything, and with my current strength I couldn’t do anything even if I wanted to. As my master’s only disciple, I believe I have the right to know who the enemy is, so I can always push myself to work harder. Please, Martial Uncle, tell me.” Lin Feng said sincerely.

Leng Hanshuang was silent for a moment after hearing this.

After some thought, she agreed that Lin Feng had a point.

Senior Brother Mubai had only this one disciple, whom he had raised from childhood-their relationship was both master and disciple, and like father and son. There was no harm in telling him.

Once she had thought it through, Leng Hanshuang no longer concealed it.

“Nephew Lin Feng! I can tell you, but you must not spread it. After all, this is a secret of Divine Sky Sword Sect. I am only telling you because you are Senior Brother Mubai’s sole disciple.”

“Please rest assured, Martial Uncle Leng! Lin Feng will keep this secret and never reveal a word.” Lin Feng was overjoyed and hastily promised.

“The one who harmed your master was the Rakshasa Sect!”
