Yet.
Just as the few of them were brewing murderous intent.
Preparing to leave this place.
To lie in ambush.
And intercept him along the way.
With the speed of thunder that left no time to cover one's ears.
To seize Xiao Chen's divine treasure by force.
A gaze.
Quietly fell upon them.
Cold as ice, sharp as a blade.
They shuddered, suddenly feeling a chill down their spines, and turned to look.
There.
Not far away.
Hu Heifeng was staring coldly at them.
His eyes brimmed with warning.
The savage, menacing power that inadvertently seeped from his clouded old eyes.
Carried a brazen threat: If you dare run wild, believe it or not, I'll slaughter you right here.
Those Divine Seed Heavenly Prodigies, who had once stood as lofty as the stars and moon, whose words were law, and whose arrogance knew no bounds, abruptly lowered their heads in terror. The murderous intent in their hearts instantly turned into deep wariness and unease.
According to the rules.
The Immortal Abandonment War was a battle between young True Dragons.
Those unfathomable old monsters whose cultivation exceeded the limit were forbidden from interfering.
Yet.
Just now.
In Hu Heifeng's eyes.
They had unmistakably seen a threat of death.
None of the Divine Seeds doubted.
That if they had failed to rein in their murderous intent at once.
That old bastard Hu Heifeng would truly have struck.
And silenced them on the spot.
Sensing Hu Heifeng's fierce protectiveness.
Others who likewise harbored ill intentions toward Xiao Chen grew solemn. After weighing their options repeatedly, they finally slipped away.
Hu Heifeng was unfathomable.
His cultivation had long surpassed a thousand years.
If he intended to protect Xiao Chen.
Even if every Divine Seed here joined forces.
They would not make a full meal
