Elder Liu Changhai did not respond at all nor was he disturbed by the words of the sect disciples, because according to elder Liu Changhai, their words were also insignificant and would have no effect whatsoever on Lin Feng, either, after all, all this time they had also always said that Lin Feng's prowess was mere nonsense.
Not getting what they wanted, the disciples immediately left the elder Liu Changhai's residence, some of them resumed their delayed training, while the others returned to their respective residences to rest.
"Finally they left too" said elder Liu Changhai.
"It seems like they still don't believe in the greatness of Brother Feng" said Lin Tian.
"I don't need their trust, after all my prowess isn't that I use to seek fame, but for my own sake" replied Lin Feng.
Hearing Lin Feng's words made elder Liu Changhai laugh, after which he said proudly. "I've really gained an outstanding disciple, you two are my proud disciples."
"Doesn't the teacher always say that we are unfilial students?. But why did the teacher say that now?" asked Lin Tian.
"That's true, because you've always troubled me!" elder Liu Changhai replied and left his two disciples.
"Lin Tian, did something happen to the teacher during my leave?" asked Lin Feng.
"No brother, teacher just misses you too much, it's just that he threw away his longing with annoyance" Lin Tian replied.
"Then I have to apologize with the teacher, tomorrow we start training as usual" Lin Feng said.
After that, the two of them immediately went to his residence to immediately rest, as tomorrow they would do an exhausting exercise.

In the depths of the forest not too far away from the Golden Phoenix sect, the assassins who had obtained the task to kill Lin Feng had just arrived, they all stopped their steps and decided to rest in the forest.
Other than the distance not too far from the sect, they could also easily keep an eye on the Golden Phoenix sect from the forest.
They then sent one of them to get closer to the gate to watch the situation, as well as looking for a gap in order to sneak into the Golden Phoenix sect, of course, their task would be easily completed, if they manage to sneak into the sect.
"The guards are very strict, even though they are not disciples with high cultivation levels, but with that much amount it would certainly be very troublesome" the golden mask killer murmured.
Not finding the slightest gap, the golden mask killer tried to wait for the night, in the hope that there would be a gap to enter the sect, because normally, it was, at night the disciples would be tired and they would be sleepy.
No matter how great the guards, when they feel sleepy then their level of alertness will still decrease, at that time the intruders will have a gap to enter and launch their actions very easily.
Moreover, the mercenaries who used to move like the wind, would certainly be very easy for them to pass through the guards who were sleepy and unfocused.
**
But what happened next instead made the golden mask killer feel shocked, instead of getting a gap to enter the sect, even his existence now became very threatened, he said, because the guard in the Golden Phoenix sect had suddenly become very tight.
The sect gatekeepers who were previously mere disciples, were now instead replaced by elite soldiers belonging to the Golden Phoenix sect, whose cultivation level was extremely high, not only that, but also that, even a dome of light just suddenly appeared and protected the entire Golden Phoenix sect.
"Great!, I'd better leave now" muttered the golden mask killer.
In a hurry, the golden mask killer immediately moved out of place, but unfortunately, his movements were even noticed by one of the gatekeepers, and immediately shot an arrow towards the golden mask killer.
"Damn it!, I'm caught!" the golden mask killer.
"Don't expect you to run" said one of the gatekeepers.
Some of the gate guard elite soldiers then went after the golden mask killer, while others remained at the gate just in case, one of them also directly reported the incident to the sect leader.
Although the golden mask assassins had incredible speed, yet the elite soldiers of the Golden Phoenix sect could not be underestimated either, they also naturally possessed incredible speed, although they could not keep up with the killer's speed, they were still able to follow him easily.
Not too long later, the golden mask killer stopped his pace, the elite warriors of the Golden Phoenix sect who sensed that something was strange also instantly stopped their steps, sure enough, the elite soldiers of the Golden Phoenix sect who sensed that something was strange also instantly stopped their steps, in front of them one suddenly appeared fourteen other assassins.
"It looks like our task will not be easy" said one of the silver mask killers.
"They're only five, so don't waste your time and just finish it off!" said the gold mask killer before.
As soon as a fierce fight instantly broke out in the depths of the forest, the assassins instantly charged out in a fierce fashion, not even giving their opponents the chance to counterattack.
Despite being outnumbered, the five elite soldiers of the Golden Phoenix sect did not flinch in the slightest, with all their might all trying to withstand every attack that led to their encirclement, indeed they could not give a counterattack, but still, it was not easy to land an attack on the bodies of those elite soldiers.

Meanwhile in the meeting hall of the Golden Phoenix sect, Jin Feng Huang seemed to be gathering all the elders of the sect, there was also present Lin Feng and Lin Tian, too, although not knowing why the two of them were there, Lin Feng could already guess that Jin Feng Huang would definitely do something to him.
"Thank you that all of you have come, I deliberately invited all of you for wanting to discuss something quite important. As you already know, elder Zhang Kaibo has betrayed our sect and is now executed, however, until now his position is still no one can replace him, so I intend to recommend Lin Feng as a young elder and will take the place of elder Zhang Kaibo" Jin Feng Huang said.
"I refuse" said Lin Feng.
