Chapter 158 Taking Back the Star Blade

"That's great, thank you, old man!" Lin Feng showed a grateful smile on his face, and the spark of hope rekindled in his eyes.

After saying that, Lin Feng turned around and was about to leave.

The old man shouted behind him: "Young man, you must pay attention to safety even if you are in a hurry!"

Lin Feng turned around and waved to the old man: "I see, old man, take care of yourself!"

Afterwards, Lin Feng ran towards Xihai City like a wild horse.

There was only one thought in his mind: Xu Tian, ​​hold on, I'll be there soon.

Along the way, Lin Feng's mind kept replaying the memories of his time with Xu Tian. They had fought together on the front lines, and talked about their ideals under the moonlight. Those beautiful times had become his driving force.

Lin Feng's pace quickened, raising a cloud of dust. The sun blazed down on him, and sweat poured down like rain, but he showed no sign of slowing down.

As they passed a field, golden wheat waves swayed gently in the breeze. Lin Feng had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery, his eyes always fixed firmly on the road ahead.

"Xu Tian, ​​wait for me, I won't let anything happen to you." Lin Feng muttered silently in his heart.

Occasionally, a few birds flew over his head, making clear calls, as if cheering him on.

At noon, the sun was high in the sky, and the ground was scorching hot. Lin Feng felt his throat was about to smoke, but when he passed a stream, he simply bent down, scooped up the cool stream water with both hands, drank a few big gulps, and continued on his journey.

Blisters had formed on the soles of his feet, and every step he took was accompanied by piercing pain, but Lin Feng gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and forced himself to ignore the pain.

"This little pain is nothing. As long as I can save Xu Tian, ​​I can endure any hardship or fatigue." Lin Feng encouraged himself in his heart.

When passing by a small village, several children were playing at the entrance of the village. Seeing Lin Feng in such a hurry, they all gathered around curiously.

"Big brother, where are you going in such a hurry?" a little boy asked, blinking his big eyes.

Lin Feng stopped and said with a gasp, "I'm going to Xihai City to rescue my friend."

After hearing this, the children all showed expressions of admiration.

"Big Brother, you will definitely be able to save your friend!"

Lin Feng smiled and touched the children's heads, then continued on his way.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun stretched Lin Feng's figure very long. His steps began to become heavy, but his eyes remained as firm as before.

"It's almost there, it's almost there." Lin Feng kept encouraging himself.

The arrival of night did not stop Lin Feng. The moonlight illuminated his path. His figure appeared lonely and strong in the moonlight.

Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled past, rustling the surrounding trees. Lin Feng's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"Xu Tian, ​​I won't let you down." Lin Feng swore secretly in his heart.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Lin Feng finally saw the outline of Xihai City. The tall city walls loomed in the night, like a fortress guarding hope.

"Xihai City, I'm finally here!" Lin Feng shouted excitedly, his voice full of joy and fatigue.

West Sea City stood on the distant horizon, its ancient walls gleaming with age in the sunlight. Lin Feng stood atop a tall, lush tree, his hands gripping the branches tightly as he gazed solemnly at the dangerous city.

His breathing was rapid and heavy, his chest heaving violently. The constant march had taken its toll on his body. Sweat had already soaked his clothes, and beads of sweat from his forehead trickled down his cheeks, dripping onto the ground beneath his feet. He exhaled heavily, the breath carrying with it the exhaustion and hardship of his journey.

"Huh..." Lin Feng sighed, his brow furrowed, a hint of anxiety in his eyes. He knew that the West Sea City ahead might hide countless dangers and challenges, but he had no intention of retreating.

After a brief pause, Lin Feng didn't rush into the city. He knew that if he rushed in rashly in his current state, he might fall into unforeseen difficulties. So, he turned and left the observation point, heading deeper into the Sea Breeze Mountains.

The Haifeng Mountains are awash in peaks and towering trees. Lin Feng's figure weaved through the forest, the dead branches and leaves crunching beneath his feet. His thoughts raced as he reflected on his experiences along the way.

Finally, Lin Feng arrived at the cave where the Chu family's second elder and Chu Yi had been imprisoned. The cave entrance was overgrown with weeds, appearing somewhat desolate. He stood there, staring silently into the darkness within, feeling a mixture of emotions.

Lin Feng walked cautiously into the cave, the stones beneath his feet making a gentle rolling sound. The cave was filled with a stale atmosphere, and the sound of water droplets dripping from the walls was particularly clear in the silence.

When he walked to the depths of the cave, he saw only some broken ropes scattered on the ground. Lin Feng's eyes swept around. Although he didn't know that Chu Yi and the second elder of the Chu family had been rescued, he immediately understood the situation when he saw that the cave was empty.

"Hmph, the people aren't here. They must have been rescued. Such a long time has passed, and with no food supply, if they hadn't been rescued, there would probably be only two corpses left." Lin Feng snorted coldly and muttered to himself. There was not much surprise on his face, as if all this was within his expectations.

However, Lin Feng didn't care where the two people from the Chu family went. He continued to walk deeper into the cave.

The further into the cave one went, the darker the light became, and the more eerie the atmosphere became. Lin Feng's steps were steady and resolute, his eyes searching the darkness all the time.

Walking to a corner further in, a pile of rocks caught his attention. Lin Feng stopped and stood in front of the rocks, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, and the Qi in his body began to circulate slowly. In an instant, a powerful force surged from his palm, fiercely shaking the pile of stones.

"boom!"

A loud bang echoed through the cave, and the pile of rocks instantly scattered, colliding with the cave walls with a dull thud. The rubble fell in a flurry, raising a cloud of dust.

When the dust settled, I saw a knife stuck straight into the ground, the scabbard deeply embedded in the soil, and the sharp blade safely inside the scabbard.

Lin Feng's eyes instantly lit up with surprise. He walked forward quickly, reached out and tightly grasped the hilt of the knife, pulling it out of the ground.

"The Star Blade is finally back in my hands." Lin Feng said with emotion, his voice full of excitement and joy.

He gently waved the knife in his hand twice, and the blade passed through the air, causing a slight wind sound.
