Chapter 1054 Waiting
Chapter 1054 Waiting
Ye Haishan didn't find Shu Fengting, but he met Lin Feng. For some reason, he liked the young man's personality very much, and before long, they became close friends despite their age difference.
The two parties came together naturally without any prior arrangement and arrived at this place.
Since he believed that there was no one in the city who could threaten Lin Feng's life, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Little did he know that by the time he sensed Tsuruta Gen, things had already progressed to this point.
Lin Feng, who was lying on the ground behind him, still had a faint breath and was not dead.
Therefore, Ye Haishan remained still, waiting to see if Lin Feng's injuries would improve or if he would die at any moment.
Currently, Lin Feng's injuries are so severe that only he can heal himself; any external force will only worsen his condition.
The top figures of the two reclusive sects were well aware of this matter, so neither of them made a move and simply waited for the outcome.
With nothing else to do, Tsuruta Gen chuckled.
"Senior Brother Ye's skills have improved again."
"Hehe, this old bone of mine was almost broken apart by Senior Brother Tsuruta."
"Senior Brother Ye is too modest. Your bones are hard to break. There's no point in us waiting here. How about we each leave?"
Ye Haishan still had a smile on his face, but his body remained motionless.
"Wait a minute, let this kid calm down first."
He knew that once the two of them left, these soldiers alone could take Lin Feng's life.
“This person has killed too many of my people; there’s no way he can leave alive.”
"Sigh, these are all worldly disputes, why take them so seriously?"
"Nonsense! How can a mere disciple killing my clansmen in the mortal world be considered a mortal conflict?"
"Isn't this just self-defense?"
"If he doesn't come here, what's the point of defense?"
"It was a misunderstanding."
"Ye Haishan, do you want reclusive sects to get involved in worldly conflicts?"
"That's not true. He's just a junior. Why would a senior brother need to lift a finger? That would mess up the seniority."
"Are you determined to protect him?"
Ye Haishan shook his head: "No, let's see how his luck turns out. It's already like this, so why not be forgiving?"
Tsuruta Gen took a deep breath and glanced at Lin Feng, who was lying motionless like a dead man. He could still sense a trace of life force moving within Lin Feng's body.
Like a flickering candle in the wind, it drifts aimlessly, unsure whether it will go out or recover in the next moment.
I should be like the wind in the air, putting out the last candle with just a little effort.
But there was Ye Haishan in the middle, as if he were covering the dying candle with a gauze cage.
The two were locked in a standoff, neither wanting to leave.
Tsuruta Cho emerged from the shadows and slowly walked to Tsuruta Gen's side.
"Father, your daughter can lend you a hand."
Tsuruta Gen reached out and put his arm around his daughter's shoulder, pulling her closer to him.
"Butterfly, this is Ye Haishan from Kunyu Mountain. You should call him your senior uncle."
He changed the subject because he had just attacked in anger and was quite exhausted. He was afraid he would not have the upper hand if he fought Ye Haishan now.
"Greetings, Senior Uncle."
"Tsuruta Cho called out sweetly."
Ye Haishan nodded: "His aptitude is good, but he's a bit too aggressive."
Tsuruta Gen ignored his sarcasm and gave the order in a low voice.
"Go tell Tsuruta-oka to evacuate everyone and clear the area. No one is allowed to enter this place without my order."
Tsuruta Cho nestled in her father's arms.
"Dad, I'll help you, but don't let him live now."
They all sensed something unusual about Lin Feng; how could such a young man have survived?
Who is Gen Tsuruta?
He is the leader of the Wunianliu Sect, one of the top figures among the hidden sects.
After expending so much energy to attack, the fact that the opponent is still breathing is something that any disciple from a reclusive sect would notice.
Without being immodest, a person like Tsuruta Gen could split mountains and shatter rocks with a mere gesture, let alone inflict serious harm on a person.
If you still can't kill the opponent, they will remain as a mortal enemy, a mortal enemy that poses a huge threat to the sect.
Ye Haishan was well aware of this reasoning. He insisted on protecting Lin Feng because he felt that this person was exceptionally talented and a promising talent. More importantly, he had a connection with Lin Feng, so he had to lend a helping hand.
Supporting such a person would be entirely beneficial to oneself and one's sect.
Upon receiving Tsuruta Gen's order, Tsuruta immediately ordered all soldiers to withdraw from the area and set up outposts to seal off the area.
In less than a quarter of an hour, in the open space between the rows of domed granaries, only Tsuruta Gen and Ye Haishan remained, along with Lin Feng lying on the ground a few steps behind Ye Haishan.
According to Tsuruta Gen's judgment, Lin Feng was in a state of barely breathing at this moment, and only an inner disciple like his own daughter could easily end his life.
He was secretly recovering his energy. If he could hold off Ye Haishan, and with another disciple accompanying him to stop Ye Haishan's helpers, He Tiandie could easily take Lin Feng's life.
Tsuruta Gen was able to sense Rong Rong's presence. After some deliberation, Tsuruta Gen decided to wait another quarter of an hour before making his move.
Even if it means mutual destruction tonight, we cannot let Lin Feng leave alive.
This kid is too strange, which makes Tsuruta Gen feel uneasy. This is something that has never happened before in many years.
This unease must be completely quelled; otherwise, it will not only affect one's mood but also have a significant impact on one's spiritual practice. Perhaps this is the end of one's spiritual journey.
Since it is a spiritual practice, one must be open and pure, with no distracting thoughts, and not even the slightest obstacle can exist.
Ye Haishan was somewhat anxious. Seeing Lin Feng's half-dead state, if he couldn't recover some of his energy in a short time, he might be taken advantage of by Tsuruta Gen.
There will be no compromise between Tsuruta Gen and Hayashi Yutaka regarding this conflict; it will only be a life-or-death struggle.
Ye Haishan's perception range was very wide; he knew that in addition to his daughter, He Tianyuan also had an inner disciple hiding in the shadows.
This puts them at a disadvantage. Rong Rong might be able to hold off one, but it would be difficult for him to hold off two inner disciples.
Lin Feng would be in danger if even one of the inner disciples were to free up his hands.
There was no other way. Ye Haishan knew Tsuruta Gen's methods very well. The two had just clashed, and neither of them could do anything to the other.
This was after Tsuruta Gen had exhausted a lot of his energy and spirit after managing to kill Lin Feng. If they were to fight normally, the two would be evenly matched, perhaps with some differences, but neither would be able to determine a winner in a short time.
Furthermore, considering that the two of them have cultivated to such a high level, neither of them would fight the other to the death. They would follow the path of enlightenment and learn from those who have attained enlightenment.
Attaining immortality and ascending to heaven—these are the goals they pursue.
Fighting to the death and vying for supremacy are games for worldly figures.
Ye Haishan's achievements are closely related to his open-mindedness; he does not seek everything, but only freedom from obstacles.
He offered Lin Feng a helping hand, doing his best to save him if possible, but he wouldn't demand too much of himself if human effort couldn't achieve the goal.
Tsuruta Gen finally let out a long breath, his chest heaving.
He felt he had basically recovered to his previous state and could stretch his muscles with Ye Haishan. He didn't fight to the death, but only restrained the old man.
This shouldn't be too difficult.
