Xie Feng recalled Hai Kuoyun's actions in his mind, like frames from a movie flashing back quickly, finally focusing on one unnecessary movement Hai Kuoyun had made.
At the dungeon gate, opening it only requires placing the token in the mouth of the leopard on the left, but Hai Kuoyun first broke the teeth of the leopard on the right!
The black panther's teeth must be a tool for tipping off others!
"Are you trying to outrun my sword?" Xie Feng asked.
"I'm not stupid. Whether I give you ten trillion or not, I won't live! Since my death is inevitable, you can't live either!"
Hai Kuoyun stared at him, a silent smile playing on his lips, his expression carrying a hint of madness!
Xie Feng asked, "Really?"
Hai Kuoyun sneered, "In an instant, the powerful members of the Spirit Clan will arrive. At that time, you..."
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard!
Energy tentacles exploded!
The Little Sword broke free from its restraints and, amidst the swirling energy, shot forth, piercing Hai Kuoyun's heart!
An endless stream of energy bursts forth, targeting not only the physical body but also the soul!
Bang!
The energy swept over Hai Kuoyun, and his soul exploded!
Dissipation like Smoke!
"The reason why slackers die is because they don't study hard! They know it's Dao Sword, but they don't take it seriously. Who else would die if not them? Ha!"
Xie Feng sneered.
He raised his palm and snapped his fingers. Little Sword turned around and spun around. With a rumbling sound, the vast underground city rapidly collapsed into ruins!
Xie Feng swung his sword again, cleaving the Formation that had been trapping him in two. The Formation lost its brilliance, and its energy vanished into nothingness!
"They're gone!"
After leaving behind a pile of "magnificent masterpieces", Xie Feng and Little Sword left the Spirit Clan.
He then turned and left, concealing his identity and name.
A moment later...
Dozens of powerful members of the Spirit Clan rushed to the scene upon hearing the news, only to find a charred ruin!
"What's going on? Our clan chief's secret chamber!"
"Who triggered the defense alarm?"
"The secret room is now a ruin! Who did this?"
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, a mixture of shock and rage. They furiously surveyed their surroundings, but found no trace of the suspicious individuals, not even a hint of their presence.
"Sir, look at this!"
Suddenly someone raised something high in the air.
The token pried out of the black panther's mouth!
The symbol of the patriarch!
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man in silver at the front was startled and his eyes widened in surprise!
He is Han Haotian, a master of Literary Dao from the Spirit Clan!
This is the clan leader's personal token, but now only the token remains, while the clan leader is nowhere to be found, indicating that something unusual must have happened.
He calmed himself down and carefully examined the ruins, finally discovering the damaged Formation.
This shows that...
A fierce battle just took place here!
It's very likely a battle between the clan leader and someone else!
Judging from the extent of the damage to the Formation, the opponent is extremely powerful!
"No, the clan leader is holding a meeting in Delusion City right now, how could he possibly come here?"
Han Haotian frowned and muttered to himself.
Elder A: "The assembly has ended, and the clan leader should be back by now!"
Elder B said, "I just heard that at this meeting, the clan leader, along with You Chenfeng and Kui Xin of the Pill Clan Ghost Clan, joined forces against the Literary Clan, but they were at a disadvantage. The three clans even gave Xie Feng an IOU for 150 trillion!"
" Xie Feng? That hotshot kid's been making headlines lately! The clan leader gave him an IOU for a whopping trillions?!"
"This can't be real! It's terrifying!"
"Do you think the clan leader might have gone to see Xie Feng in a fit of anger?"
"The clan leader's token is here, but Xie Feng is nowhere to be found. Considering the fall of the previous clan leader, do you think it couldn't be...?"
The group exchanged glances, their hearts churning with shock and disbelief!
It can't be...
Hai Kuoyun followed in Gu Tao's footsteps...
"I heard Xie Feng possesses the Extreme Dao Sword! The clan leader must have been too kind, not dealing with him immediately, which allowed him to produce the Extreme Dao Sword!"
"Has the clan leader really perished?"
"What should we do then?!"
Everyone looked worried.
Holding the token, Han Haotian said sadly, "There's no other way. The clan leader has ten sons, so let's choose one of them who is virtuous and talented to succeed him!"
He sighed.
For some reason, he seemed to be getting more and more adept at using the word "successor"...
Elder Jia slammed his fist into the ground, creating a large hole. He exclaimed angrily, "It's Xie Feng again! This man must be eliminated!"
Han Haotian said solemnly, "Since Elder Jia is so loyal, then this important task is entrusted to you! You first lead your men to Dark Ink Mountain and raze Pill Maple Academy to the ground!"
With a flick of his sleeve, he issued the order with overwhelming force.
The space fell eerily quiet...
Elder A froze for a moment, then gave a dry laugh, "Hehe, well, Master, let's choose the next clan leader first, that's the most important thing! As for the Pill Maple Academy, there's no rush, it can't run away!"
Han Haotian: "..."
This is human nature!
They're so good at sweet talk, but when it comes to actually doing something, they fall flat!
big eater!
He cursed under his breath.
Night falls.
Xie Feng returned to Dark Ink Mountain.
The maple forest was silent, not a sound from birds or beasts, and the mountain was shrouded in darkness, devoid of any lights, creating an eerie atmosphere.
Xie Feng frowned slightly. Usually, even at night, there would be some noise in the academy because there were more than twenty teachers and students. Why was it so quiet today?
He had already arrived at the Pill Maple Academy, and without thinking much, he pushed open the gate with a creak.
It was still completely dark!
He took two steps forward when suddenly a beautiful figure rushed over and gave him a big bear hug. A sweet fragrance wafted into Xie Feng's nostrils; it was the girl's pure body scent.
"Brother, you're back!"
Xie Feng had already recognized Sushang, so he did not resist and let her pounce on him, stand on tiptoe, stretch out her arms, and try to put a maple leaf wreath on his head.
"So you know about my amazing feat in Delusion City? Is that why you specially made a wreath to welcome me?"
Xie Feng pinched the flesh on Sushang's little face.
Slippery.
Soft.
I must say, it feels really good.
Sushang said, "Brother, bend down!"
Xie Feng bent down, and the maple leaf wreath was finally put on smoothly.
"You're very well-informed! Is there a victory celebration banquet?"
Xie Feng pinched Sushang's fleshy cheeks again; with just those two pinches, he was already hooked...
"What celebration banquet?" Sushang blinked her bright, watery eyes, looking somewhat confused. "There's something more important today!"
"?" Xie Feng was stunned.
Isn't this a celebration banquet for him?
"Cough cough!"
Suddenly a cough rang out, and the lights inside the Pill Maple Academy instantly blazed on, as many people swarmed around!
Born with starlight and moonlight shining upon the courtyard. Meeting the Azure Cloud heavens in the morning and reaping a house full of gold and jade in the evening!
Han Yu cleared his throat, gazed affectionately at Xie Feng, and began to recite heartfelt verses.
Xie Feng: "???"
Grandmaster Han, what happened to you? Are you alright?
