Chapter 254: Posthumous Portrait

Beep.

After the procedures were completed, the higher-ups also confirmed it. From today onwards, Lin Feng officially became the Legate of Central Sea City for a three-year term!

Shen Jianxin looked at everything in the office and sighed. “Brother Lin, having been here for three years, I’m a little reluctant to actually leave.”

Lin Feng nodded. Three years was actually quite a long time, especially since he had only used a year to undergo a tremendous change in his body. He was practically a living legend.

“Then Brother Shen can stay for a few days before leaving.”

“Haha, there’s no need for that. Since the procedures have been completed, I’ll set off immediately. I’ll leave the Central Sea City in your hands in the future!”

With that, Shen Jianxin turned around and left resolutely. No matter how reluctant he was, he had to leave.

Lin Feng sat in his office and gathered all the law enforcement team members.

Originally, there were 23 Metamorphic Realm martial artists in the law enforcement team of Central Sea City. However, without Zhao Dongsheng, there were only 22 left. Among them, there were 13 Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists, which made up the majority. The remaining were all First Level and Second Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists.

After all, the law enforcement team had to deal with martial artists who had broken the genetic lock, and needed to capture them. Hence, all of the team were quite strong.

These 22 people were divided into four squads, with an average of six people per squad. However, there used to be 24 people before there was one less. Dongsheng was gone as well, only 22 people were left. Hence, two of the squads only had five people now.

The four Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists standing before Lin Feng were the leaders of the four squads.

Lin Feng saw that these law enforcement team members were a little nervous. After all, he was a distinguished Divine Realm expert, and he had defeated Shang Yuntao so “brutally” previously.

It was impossible for these people not to be nervous.

“Everyone, there’s no need to be nervous. We can keep up how it was like when Brother Shen was here. I’m just meeting everyone today to get acquainted. Everyone, you can leave first. The four captains will stay behind.”

Lin Feng left the four captains behind. They could be considered his direct subordinates.

“You are usually in charge of the law enforcement team’s work. I won’t interfere unnecessarily.”

This put the four of them at ease. Besides, Lin Feng did not come to be the Legate to make a grand undertaking. Hence, there was no need to cling to authority at all.

Moreover, how much authority could a mere law enforcement team have?

“Tell me, how are Shang Yuntao and Zhao Dongsheng?”

Among the four captains, Captain Wei took a step forward and said, “Lord Legate, Shang Yuntao and Zhao Dongsheng were both taken away by the people from the Martial Artist Court. Shang Yuntao was sentenced to guard the frontline for 20 years, and Zhao Dongsheng was sentenced to guard the frontline for 15 years.”

“I understand. All of you can leave.”

Soon, Lin Feng was the only one left in the office.

Back then, Zhao Dongsheng alone had suppressed the Lin family to the point of suffocation. If not for his second brother, Lin Hai, inviting General Long over, there was no knowing how the Zhao family would continue to deal with the Lin family.

And now?

Only a year had passed, but there had already been a sea change. With a word from Lin Feng, the Zhao family was completely finished.

Zhao Dongsheng was sentenced to guard the frontline and could not leave for 15 years. Lin Feng actually no longer saw Zhao Dongsheng as a threat. Never mind whether Zhao Dongsheng lucky enough to survive these 15 years, so what if he did?

Fifteen years later, how powerful would Lin Feng become? Three life transitions, or four life transitions?

When the gap reached a certain level, Zhao Dongsheng would despair even if he wanted to take revenge.

Hence, the matter with the Zhao family was over. Lin Feng would no longer pay attention to Zhao Dongsheng.

On the other hand, Shang Yuntao was a Divine Realm martial artist. It was actually not difficult for him to survive for 20 years. If he was lucky enough to undergo the third life transition at the frontline and become a Meta-divine Realm martial artist, he would be a threat.

But that was all.

If Lin Feng were still in the Divine Realm or the Meta-divine Realm, Shang Yuntao might still harbor resentment. However, what if Lin Feng underwent four life transitions and became a Sage? Or even stronger than a Sage?

At that time, Shang Yuntao probably wouldn’t even hold a trace of resentment. When the difference was unimaginable, even if one held resentment, they would conceal it deep down and not dare to reveal it .

There was an endless stream of people coming and going outside the window. Lin Feng stood in front of the window and looked down. Unknowingly, Lin Feng had already become the upper echelons of humanity, high and mighty. People or things that seemed unreachable in the past were now easily reachable to him.

Lin Feng even vaguely lost the motivation to “strive”.

He looked up at the void. There was a Canopy there, and beyond the Canopy was the cosmos. According to Longbetham, the cosmos was cold and cruel, but it was also an incomparably wonderful place.

Beep-beep-beep.

Just as Lin Feng was lamenting, his communicator suddenly rang urgently.

He picked up the communicator and connected immediately.

“Dad, what is it?”

“Lin Feng, quick, come back. Your second brother…”

Thud.

Lin Feng hung up and immediately went downstairs to rush home on the airship.

…

In the Lin family’s living room, Mr. and Mrs. Lin, Lin Yong, and Lin Qian were all gathered.

Apart from the Lin family, there were five soldiers. They held a posthumous portrait in their hands with solemn expressions.

Mr. Lin reached out with shaking hands to take the portrait. His lips were trembling, and he could not say anything. Tears were already streaming down his face. Mrs. Lin’s voice was hoarse from crying.

Lin Yong’s eyes were also bloodshot, and the veins on his arms bulged violently, as if he was trying his best to restrain himself.

Even Lin Qian’s face was pale. She looked at the portrait in heavy grief.

“Uncle, Auntie, please restrain your grief…”

There were five soldiers. Judging from their ranks, there were four majors and one general. Among them, the general was even General Long, whom the Lin family knew. However, at this moment, General Long’s eyes were also dim and filled with regret.

This was his second time coming to the Lin family. The first time, he was here to help the Lin family resolve their troubles, but he did not expect to come to the Lin family in such a manner the second time.

“General Long, how did this happen to Lin Hai?”

Mr. Lin’s voice shook. No matter how strong a person was, they could not control themselves when faced with such a situation.

Bang.

Before General Long could answer, the door was suddenly pushed open at this moment.

Swoosh.

Lin Feng stood at the door. He saw five unfamiliar soldiers at a glance.

In particular, there was a posthumous portrait on the table!

“Lin Feng?”

General Long naturally knew Lin Feng. He had not investigated before, so he did not know that Lin Feng had returned.

The last time General Long visited Lin Feng, Lin Feng was still sickly and suffering from a strange illness. Later on, Lin Feng rose to power and even obtained first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition.

However, one would not feel it just looking at reports and videos.

But now, seeing Lin Feng in person, General Long suddenly felt a sense of oppression. That’s right, oppression. Lin Feng’s body emitted a terrifying aura that made even he feel as if he was about to suffocate.

Was this still a Metamorphic Realm martial artist? Even a Divine Realm martial artist probably did not have such a terrifying aura.
