I, the Invincible Genius, Only Want to Live a Low-Key Life - Chapter 4

“Rakshasa Sect? Is this sect powerful?” Lin Feng asked in confusion.

He had never heard of this sect before.

Of course, this was partly because of his own ignorance and reclusiveness. Ever since his master, Su Mubai, brought him into the Divine Sky Sword Sect, he had rarely gone out, and his understanding of the outside world was pitifully limited.

The few major powers he knew of were only mentioned occasionally by his master.

The fact that he hadn’t heard of it meant it wasn’t one of the top sects in Li Province.

And how could an obscure sect dare to provoke the Divine Sky Sword Sect?

“The Rakshasa Sect isn’t considered strong,” Leng Hanshuang replied.

“Then how dare they offend our Divine Sky Sword Sect?” Lin Feng’s tone was full of disbelief.

The Divine Sky Sword Sect was one of the four top powers in Li Province-what was the Rakshasa Sect compared to that?

“The Rakshasa Sect wouldn’t have dared before. But now, they’ve found the Infinite Demon Sect as their backer, so they have the courage. Your Martial Uncle Zhao and Martial Uncle Jiang went to the Rakshasa Sect to avenge your master and retrieve the Haoran Sword, but on the way, they were ambushed by Qian Daoxiong, the Grand Elder of the Infinite Demon Sect. They didn’t make it to the Rakshasa Sect and had to return to consult with the Sect Leader,” Leng Hanshuang explained.

So that’s how it is!

Lin Feng understood.

He knew about the Infinite Demon Sect.

His master had specifically introduced this sect to him.

The Infinite Demon Sect, like the Divine Sky Sword Sect, was one of the top powers in Li Province. The two sects were mortal enemies, constantly clashing. With them as a backer, it was no wonder the Rakshasa Sect dared to seriously injure his master.

“Thank you for telling me, Martial Uncle Leng!” Lin Feng cupped his fists in gratitude.

“Lin Feng, you are Su Mubai’s only disciple. He has high hopes for you. Although your talent isn’t outstanding, in our cultivation world, talent isn’t the only deciding factor. As the saying goes, diligence makes up for lack of talent. If you devote yourself to cultivation, inheriting Su Mubai’s Haoran Sword and Lone Remnant Peak in the future isn’t impossible. Otherwise, with Su Mubai’s current condition, it won’t be long before the Haoran Sword and Lone Remnant Peak change hands.”

Leng Hanshuang’s words made Lin Feng, who was usually calm even if the sky collapsed, a little flustered.

The Haoran Sword and Lone Remnant Peak changing hands?

That was something he absolutely could not accept.

The Haoran Sword and Lone Remnant Peak belonged to his master-no one could take them away!

“Please enlighten me, Martial Uncle Leng,” Lin Feng took a deep breath and said respectfully.

“You know that Su Mubai injured his foundation during a mission in his early years, causing his strength to stagnate for years. The rest of us have long surpassed him. As the master of the Haoran Sword, one of the Divine Sky Seven Swords, Su Mubai’s strength no longer matches his status. Now, many in the Divine Sky Sword Sect are eyeing the Haoran Sword and Lone Remnant Peak. The only reason no one has acted is because the Sect Leader is bearing the pressure. But now that Su Mubai is seriously injured and the Haoran Sword lost, someone will surely seize the opportunity. You should be mentally prepared.”

For Lin Feng, who always preferred to keep a low profile and survive quietly, he had no interest in the sect’s internal strife.

But if anyone dared to touch his master’s possessions, that was absolutely unacceptable.

“I understand! Thank you, Martial Uncle Leng!” Lin Feng bowed again in gratitude.

“All right! Go back and cultivate well! Even if you lose the Haoran Sword and Lone Remnant Peak this time, you can win them back with strength in the future. I believe you won’t let Su Mubai down.”

Lin Feng learned more details about the Rakshasa Sect from Leng Hanshuang. Upon discovering that it was a sect formed by former fugitives, he already had an idea of what to do.

He then left Jade Maiden Peak and returned to Lone Remnant Peak.

Today’s events taught Lin Feng a lesson.

On the Nine Provinces Continent, being too low-key was not a good thing.

If he had shown a bit more of his talent, perhaps Lone Remnant Peak wouldn’t have fallen to this point.

And no one would have dared to covet the Haoran Sword and Lone Remnant Peak.

Night fell.

A black figure quietly left the Divine Sky Sword Sect, speeding westward. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared without a trace.

Hundreds of thousands of miles west of the Divine Sky Sword Sect, the Rakshasa Sect was located.

At this moment, inside the Rakshasa Sect, more than a dozen people were holding a secret meeting.

These were the decision-makers of the Rakshasa Sect.

One of them asked, “Sect Leader, isn’t what we’re doing too risky? Both the Infinite Demon Sect and the Divine Sky Sword Sect are the top superpowers in Li Province. If we, the Rakshasa Sect, get involved rashly, won’t we…?”

“Your concerns are valid! But let me say this: in the past, I would never have gotten involved in the struggle between the Infinite Demon Sect and the Divine Sky Sword Sect. But now, things are different,” replied the Rakshasa Sect Leader.
“What’s different?”

“The Infinite Demon Sect’s Supreme Elder, Wuji Daoist, has broken through recently!!!”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the senior members of the Rakshasa Sect present felt a shock in their hearts. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they looked at the Rakshasa Sect Leader.

Wuji Daoist has broken through?

Doesn’t that mean the Infinite Demon Sect will completely suppress the Divine Sky Sword Sect?

Seeing everyone’s stunned expressions, the Rakshasa Sect Leader smiled faintly and continued:

“The Infinite Demon Sect is joining forces with the Seven Kill Sect to gradually dismantle the strength of the Divine Sky Sword Sect. Once Wuji Daoist fully stabilizes his realm, they will launch a decisive attack to destroy the Divine Sky Sword Sect, wipe out this old enemy, and then deal with the Qingyun Sect. When the Infinite Demon Sect dominates Li Province, our Rakshasa Sect can ride their coattails and soar to new heights. This is our only chance-we must not miss it.”

With the leader’s explanation, the senior members of the Rakshasa Sect finally understood.

No wonder the Sect Leader dared to severely injure Su Mubai, one of the Divine Sky Seven Swords, and snatch the Haoran Sword. He had already prepared an escape route.

The next day at noon, the sun was shining brightly.

Suddenly, above the Rakshasa Sect, a hundred-zhang-long illusory giant sword appeared, its tip aimed straight down at the sect.

“Boom!!!”

The protective sect formation lasted only a moment before being completely destroyed.

The immense force made the entire Rakshasa Sect tremble as if in a storm; countless buildings teetered on the verge of collapse.

“How dare you! Who dares to run wild in the Rakshasa Sect? Are you seeking death?!”

With a loud shout, dozens of senior members of the Rakshasa Sect rushed out.

But when they saw the hundred-zhang-long giant sword in the sky, they were all stunned with fear.

“Rumble!!!”

The giant sword continued its unstoppable descent. The Rakshasa Sect members couldn’t even get close, let alone stop it. In the end, they could only watch as the illusory giant sword pierced into the main hall of the Rakshasa Sect, destroying it completely.

The enormous impact turned everything around into ruins.

Even those dozens of senior Rakshasa Sect members were pressed to the ground, unable to move.

The hundred-zhang-long giant sword was embedded one-third into the ground, with the remaining two-thirds protruding above.

Only then did the Rakshasa Sect members notice that someone was standing atop the sword’s hilt?

“Wh-Who are you? How did our Rakshasa Sect offend you to make you strike so ruthlessly? You won’t even give us a chance to speak!” the Rakshasa Sect Leader shouted loudly.

He knew in his heart that since the other party had struck directly, begging for mercy would be useless.

The Rakshasa Sect had committed many evil deeds in secret, and was a gathering of bandits. It was hard to judge where the other party came from.

The figure standing on the sword’s hilt did not reply, but slowly turned around, revealing a face covered by a ghost mask.

Then he stomped his foot.

“Boom!!!”

The giant sword plunged another third into the ground, leaving only the hilt exposed.

The Rakshasa Sect, already reduced to ruins, was completely leveled.

The sect disciples suffered heavy casualties.

A dozen or so of the stronger senior members of the Rakshasa Sect still clung to life.

With just one strike, the Rakshasa Sect was wiped out, showing the terrifying strength of this person.

“Bastard!!! Aren’t you afraid of retribution?” the Rakshasa Sect Leader cursed loudly.

The Rakshasa Sect was his life’s work. He had been planning to rise to power with the help of the Infinite Demon Sect, but now, a sudden attack had destroyed everything.

Where are the people from the Infinite Demon Sect?

Didn’t they promise to guarantee the safety of the Rakshasa Sect?

Why haven’t they shown up yet?

The Ghost-Faced Man still said nothing, only stared coldly at the Rakshasa Sect Leader.

He was Lin Feng, who had slipped away from the Divine Sky Sword Sect to avenge his master, Su Mubai.

This was the first time he revealed a hint of his strength, and it was utterly terrifying.

If the senior members of the Divine Sky Sword Sect learned that this so-called useless Eldest Senior Brother had destroyed the Rakshasa Sect with a single sword, who knows what they would think.

Although the Rakshasa Sect was not extremely powerful, it was still a mid-tier sect-not something just anyone could destroy, let alone with a single sword.

“Are you from the Divine Sky Sword Sect?” the Rakshasa Sect Leader asked.

But then he immediately denied it himself.

“Impossible! You can’t be from the Divine Sky Sword Sect. The Infinite Demon Sect promised me they would monitor every move of your sect’s experts. You can’t be from the Divine Sky Sword Sect. Who exactly are you?”

Lin Feng was about to finish off these evildoers when he suddenly sensed something. With a casual gesture, a long sword flew out from the ruins and landed before him.

Haoran Sword!!!

Looking at the familiar sword before him, Lin Feng’s eyes flickered with emotion.

At that moment, an angry roar suddenly echoed from afar.
“Audacious thief, how dare you commit such slaughter! Today, this old man will send you to the afterlife!”

Upon hearing this voice, the Rakshasa Sect Leader revealed an excited expression and shouted, “Elder, save me!”

The newcomer was none other than the Grand Elder of the Infinite Demon Sect-Qian Daoxiong.

At this moment, he was furious.

In the eyes of the Infinite Demon Sect, the Rakshasa Sect was merely a pawn, but even pawns have their uses.

Their mission this time was to ambush the people of the Divine Sky Sword Sect, weaken their vital forces, and protect the safety of the Rakshasa Sect.

Now that the Rakshasa Sect had been annihilated, wasn’t this a slap in the face for the Infinite Demon Sect?

For a superpower like the Infinite Demon Sect, reputation was of utmost importance. Otherwise, who would be willing to work for them in the future?

Lin Feng stood atop the giant sword, watching as dozens of black shadows sped toward him from afar. He showed no fear, pressed down with his foot, and his body shot out like a bolt of lightning.

Soaring into the air, Lin Feng wielded his master Su Mubai’s Haoran Sword and slashed toward Qian Daoxiong and the others from the Infinite Demon Sect.

What seemed like a soft and unremarkable sword strike suddenly changed the wind and clouds as it was unleashed. Heaven and earth shifted colors, and a sword light dozens of meters long burst forth in an instant, carrying overwhelming might as it slashed toward the Infinite Demon Sect crowd.

Sensing the terrifying power of the sword light, Qian Daoxiong was shocked.

This is…?

Sword Intent?

Who is this person?

He actually comprehended such a terrifying Sword Intent!

Moreover, this Sword Intent gave him a sense of being suppressed.

The Sword Intent unleashed with the upright and righteous Haoran Sword had a strong restraining effect on those who practiced demonic arts in the Demon Sect.

“Scatter!”

Qian Daoxiong shouted.

The dozens of black shadows behind him instantly scattered in all directions to evade the sword strike.

They, too, felt the restraining power within this Sword Intent.

Lin Feng, however, did not slow down. He charged out in an instant, laughing loudly:

“Hahaha… With a bit of Haoran energy, the wind races for a thousand miles! It seems the Grand Elder of the Infinite Demon Sect is nothing special after all! Truly unworthy of your reputation! Today, I’ll spare you rabble for now. Next time we meet, your lives will be mine.”

After Lin Feng left, the dozens of black shadows gathered around Qian Daoxiong again.

“Grand Elder! The Sword Intent this man has comprehended greatly restrains us. If we do not eliminate him, he will become a great threat to our Infinite Demon Sect!”

Qian Daoxiong stared in the direction Lin Feng had left, his fists clenched tightly, his whole body trembling with rage.

The sudden turn of events just now had made him too wary to take that sword strike head-on.

Thinking back, with so many of them, so what if the opponent had comprehended Sword Intent?

Having dealt with sword cultivators for so many years, Qian Daoxiong understood that while sword cultivators were strong and could often fight above their level, it was not to an absurd degree.

Besides, the demonic arts of the Infinite Demon Sect were not to be underestimated.

When did such a heaven-defying sword cultivator appear in Li Province?

Qian Daoxiong also did not believe Lin Feng was from the Divine Sky Sword Sect, because there were few in the Divine Sky Sword Sect with such strength, and all were under the Infinite Demon Sect’s surveillance.

But if he wasn’t from the Divine Sky Sword Sect, then who was he?

The news of the Rakshasa Sect’s annihilation quickly spread.

Everyone was curious about the identity of the Ghost-Faced Man.

To destroy the Rakshasa Sect with a single sword, and to escape unscathed from the encirclement of Qian Daoxiong and dozens of Infinite Demon Sect experts-this was not something an ordinary person could do.

The more mysterious Lin Feng was, the more he piqued people’s curiosity.

The Infinite Demon Sect also began investigating Lin Feng’s true identity.

Within Li Province, the only sword cultivator force capable of threatening the Infinite Demon Sect was the Divine Sky Sword Sect; all others were far inferior.

And the strong members of the Divine Sky Sword Sect were all within their surveillance.

Because of this, the Infinite Demon Sect was left scratching their heads.

What force could have nurtured such a formidable sword cultivator?

Their original plan was to slowly erode and weaken the Divine Sky Sword Sect’s strength, wait for their ancestor to stabilize his cultivation and emerge, and then take them down in one fell swoop at minimal cost.

Now, with the sudden appearance of such a mysterious powerhouse, the Infinite Demon Sect’s plans were completely disrupted.

The upper echelons of the Infinite Demon Sect would never have dreamed that the one causing them so much trouble was actually the so-called “useless” Eldest Senior Brother of this generation of the Divine Sky Sword Sect.”
