Chapter 27 - Hunting Season.

She is also not exclusive to him, rumors of her exploiting nights with others were also famous.

Despite that, she is still a taste, a vice, Elder Jin couldn't let go. She is too much of a succulent rare delicacy to let go.

In fact. This was the same reason he allowed her. Enjoy her as much as he can while it's all fun, because they are in the Boundless Seal Realm.

Life here is cheap. 

Today you rule, tomorrow you rot.

Also, females in the Boundless Seal Realm are rare and beautiful females are even rarer. That's why he does not restrict his disciple much, a young blood would go mad.

But he is also a man.

Restraining desires when death watches every moment? Only a fool would hold morality here.

He pulled up another wine jug and tore open the paper seal. Drank in one go until his throat started to burn then he looked down.

She opened her mouth and he drenched her too…

—-----

The Night reached its peak and it was even more silent than a graveyard as if none survived.

Lin Feng could only witness as his master encased in a frozen block of ice.

The reason he could still tell that his master is not dead because of the faint red light in the eyes.

There was nothing he could do, he felt so helpless and guilty towards himself when suddenly a loud alarm started to ring in the whole Greenwater Town.

Lin Feng, like a spooked rabbit, jumped on his feet hearing that alarm.

"Attack? Now? How is that possible?"

"The Great Wolf Bell only rings for catastrophic danger!" Lin Feng trembled, looking between the frozen statue of his master and the dark cave entrance.

He wants to run outside to check it out.

"It's impossible! The Sun Lizard Clan... they have Marks too! They should be screaming in agony, not marching for war! Who can fight under the Penance Moon?"

CRACK!

That sound made Lin Feng jump again but the block of ice T-800 was trapped in broke as T-800 walked out of it.

"What is it?" He asked as another layer of ice started to form already.

"It's an attack Master…but it's impossible."

"Then explain."

Lin Feng was kind of taken aback at the calmness of his master and instead of reacting or taking action, he is asking for an explanation, is this another test?

"Master…the only explanation I can think of...is that they are using the 'Unmarked.' Natives, Brand Bastards like me. Born in this prison but carrying no brand. Only we are immune to this cold. They must have gathered an army of these discarded children to slaughter us while the Sect is paralyzed in Soul-Severing Cold."

T-800 didn't react or acknowledge if Lin Feng's analysis was correct or wrong but he walked out.

The Alarm kept ringing but none was out in the open to answer it, except for Tie Yuan and Lin Feng.

The air was full of smoke because of all the fire everyone is burning to keep themselves warm and alive from Soul-Severing Cold.

Lin Feng expected so see the invaders so far as they reached the sect gates but the gates was shut locked.

A fire was burning inside a stone guard house as you could hear the painful groan of others trying to survive the cold.

T-800 walked in and saw four guards on the floor convulsing in pain around a large fire.

Lin Feng didn't enter because for him, that stone room has turned into a furnace already.

T-800 took the keys from one of the guards and walked out. He opened the small door in the large gate and then he tossed the keys to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng tossed the keys back in the stone room and joined his Master Tie Yuan.

The alarm kept rining until they reached the Greenwater Town's gate.

To Lin Feng's surprise, the attacker were not attacking but waiting.

And they are only three people.

Younger, at his age.

"Who are they?" He didn't recognize the robes of these attackers. They are pristine white with gold rims, top knot tied with purple flowing ribbon.

Two males, one female. One taller and muscular who was ringing the bell, he had a large broad sword on his back. 

The female had two buns, shorter than all but carrying a large long box on her back.

The middle one who looked like the leader was standing with his both hands back holding a straight sword.

And their eyes, full of arrogance.

The moment they saw the T-800, the muscular one stopped ringing the bell.

"20 strokes?" The muscular one cried out in joy. "Senior Brother Cao, let me have ...this trophy!"

His eyes locked to T-800, although he was big and muscular but T-800 put him to shame in height and muscularity.

That made him jealous.

On the other hand, Lin Feng was a statue, his mind not working because he was not able to figure out who these people were. 

His eyes fixed on their clean silk robes...robes far too pure, too spotless for anyone living in the Boundless Seal Realm. It's not like people here do not get to wear clean or pure clothes but these robes are otherworldly clean. 

His mind started working fast, going through everything he knew about this cursed realm, trying to guess who they could be.

Their sleeves were long and covered their arms, so he couldn't see if they had Penance Marks or not.

Lin Feng looked at the sky. The Penance Moon shone bright above, covering the land in a blue-white glow. Yet these three weren't reacting to it at all. 

Which means they don't have a Penance Mark.

Has the Sun Lizard Clan created an army of Brand Bastards?

That's the only possibility he could think of and that also an absurdity.

The Brother Cao as addressed by that muscular guy smiled in a lazy malicious way.
